It is very likely that you have seen a flatbed...
The flatbed trailer or removable goosenecks (RGN) is based on the original design of Winton Motor Company. The principle was adapted by the travel industry in their haul camping trailers. While Winton is credited for the semi-truck design, August Charles Fruehauf, a blacksmith from Detroit took the design to a new level in 1914.

Communities in the Southern Region towns of Limbe and Blantyre have appealed to the Blantyre City Council (BCC) to ensure that developers engage the services of professional builders in renovating condemned buildings to ensure buildings in the towns have a definitive pattern.
BCC last week embarked on a Red Star campaign which saw city officials marking condemned buildings with red stars.
According to the council, a total of 161 buildings, 87 and 74 in Limbe have been earmarked for demolition.
A snap survey conducted by The Daily Times on Saturday revealed that communities are happy to see that the council is eager to see the structures in the two towns improve.
The communities, however, indicated the need for developers to engage the services of skilled professionals in the exercise.
“It’s good to see that the council appears to be more serious this time around with the red star campaign. Let’s hope it will really materialise. We appeal to the city assembly to ensure that the new buildings are professionally done.
“We have professionals such as Press Properties, Pacific Limited and others which if engaged can help deliver quality and modern structures,” said Amos Magombo, a Bangwe resident.
Magombo’s sentiments were shared by Mercy Chingagwe of Zingwangwa who modern towns require buildings that have a distinct pattern.
“Towns and cities in other countries have a distinct look. There is need for uniform or identical style of buildings to create what is described as harmony,” said Chingagwe.
In a letter addressed to property owners, BCC has given them until January 2016 to submit new designs for the buildings, adding that demolition of the condemned buildings is expected to start on March 1, 2016.
BCC spokesperson Anthony Kasunda yesterday said the new buildings are supposed to have a minimum of three storeys.
“As the council, we will make sure that only the best buildings are developed in Limbe and Blantyre,” said Kasunda.

2019's Theme: Matching user expectations
As part of the 2019 theme, ‘Matching User Expectations’, we are looking through two prisms: that of the user of the city (the citizen) and that of the user of the building (the occupier). Responding to individual user expectations ispriorities of citizens and occupiers. Then, to identify the changes needed to improve services and to make them innovative, reactive, accessible and transparent.

A New Leaf, or a Fig Leaf?
By ELISSA GOOTMANMARCH 31, 2002
AS a Republican from the Hudson Valley, Harold J. Porr 3rd seems an odd choice to manage this sliver of beaches, boardwalk and tightly spaced homes.
This is, after all, a bastion of Democrats at the southern edge of a county that was, until recently, a seemingly impenetrable Republican stronghold. It is a suburban city of 35,000 with a small-town feel, a place where roots run deep, families stick around and residents do not always take kindly to receiving their direction from outsiders.
Long Beach is also simmering with political intrigue. Residents have sued the city, asserting that too much power has consolidated in the hands of Eugene C. Cammarato, the city's director of operations and the local Democratic leader. A top police official was demoted in what his supporters believe was an act of political retribution after his son ran for office as a Republican. And some residents are wondering why a nonprofit organization received a letter asking that it pay the city rent shortly after hosting a meeting at which audience members railed against the city's Democratic leadership.
These clashes will be a backdrop sharply silhouetting Mr. Porr when he takes office as city manager on Monday. Many here are wondering what kind of signal his appointment is supposed to send.
Joel Crystal, president of the city council, said it selected Mr. Porr based on his experience managing the city of Newburgh, not to placate Republicans and not to disprove Long Beach's reputation as a one-party city. ''Our politics in this instance,'' he said, ''was to make the city of Long Beach the best city we could.''
Mr. Porr, 50, does not see himself as a patsy.
''I'm aware that they call it a one-party town,'' Mr. Porr said. ''When I looked into the eyes of those council members and spoke to them, I could tell that all of them, every one of them, cares about their community first and party second.''
But many Long Beach residents say they have seen too much to believe that. Tensions rose three weeks after the November election when Thomas R. Sofield, the chief of detectives of the Long Beach Police Department, was told he would be reassigned to a lesser position. This month, he received a letter announcing that his title would be changed to lieutenant from detective-lieutenant, and that his pay would be cut, his son Thomas Jr. said.
While Lieutenant Sofield has been advised not to speak publicly on his demotion, his supporters -- his friends, his children, his children's friends and his friends' children, because that's the kind of place Long Beach is -- chalk it up to retribution. They say the lieutenant, a beloved 23-year veteran of the Long Beach Police Department who was twice considered for the post of police commissioner, was punished for Thomas Jr.'s decision to run for city council as part of a coalition ticket, on the Republican line. The younger Sofield and the two Republicans he ran with all lost, but not by much considering registered Democrats outnumber Republicans almost three to one in the city.
The supporters say Lieutenant Sofield is also being punished for something he saw while roaming about City Hall early one fall morning: a city worker printing campaign literature (Democratic, of course). He reported it to the District Attorney's office as a possible violation of abuse-of-office laws.
And then there is the matter of the Long Beach Martin Luther King Center, a community organization in an African-American neighborhood that received a letter shortly after the election, requesting that it pay the city rent and utility costs for 2002. The timing was suspicious, some residents claimed: it came on the heels of a meet-the-candidates forum at the center where audience members criticized the Democrats, and an election in which the neighborhood voted for Republicans in surprising numbers.
''It was a punishment maybe for the neighborhood, for coming out in public and voicing your opinion against the machine,'' said Mary Lou Monahan, an 18-year resident and former board member of the center. ''Probably they didn't expect to get the rent. It was just a little threat.''
A city council meeting late last year was punctuated by heckles, jeers and comparisons to the Soviet Union.
''Long Beach government is the antithesis of American democracy,'' Mark Jackson, a longtime resident and retiree, proclaimed.
''We're going to have a police state of Long Beach,'' declared Mona Goodman, who ran unsuccessfully on the Republican city council ticket.
''If something is shady and it stinks to high heaven,'' Johanna Sofield, a daughter-in-law of the demoted police official, instructed the council, ''it is your responsibility to look into it.''
If there is one person who is optimistic that Mr. Porr's appointment represents a sea change for Long Beach, it must be the local Republican leader, right?
Wrong. James V. Moriarty, chairman of the Long Beach Republican City Committee, said he took little comfort in the selection of a Republican city manager.
''Under a city manager form of government, the city manager should be completely nonpolitical and nonpartisan and should be hired solely for his professional skills as a municipal manager,'' Mr. Moriarty said. ''I would like to extend an olive branch and a welcome mat because as a lifelong resident, I would like to see him succeed. The fact that he apparently is a Republican is completely and totally irrelevant.''
Mr. Porr is more than apparently a Republican. He served as the Republican leader of Newburgh for two years and ran for Orange County executive on the Republican ticket before being selected to serve as Newburgh city manager in 1992.
Mr. Porr is also no stranger to the vicissitudes of local politics: In 1999, the city council ousted him. Within 12 hours, he had a new job, as city administrator of Poughkeepsie. The Newburgh city council reappointed Mr. Porr in 2000, but he was ousted again early this year, after a rocky year in which he clashed with the city's Democratic mayor, who was elected in 2001.
''I call Newburgh green beret training for city managers,'' he said in a telephone interview from his home, which he is leaving for a rented house in Long Beach. ''After you've done Newburgh, you can do anything, because it's such a caustic political place. It's very, very hardball politics in Newburgh. There's such poverty and such crime, and if you can succeed in Newburgh, you can succeed anywhere.''
Skeptics of the motives behind Mr. Porr's appointment point to the city's political structure, saying Mr. Cammarato will have too much power no matter who is city manager. While many cities have a mayor and a city council, in Long Beach the only local elected officials are the city council members, who serve on a part-time basis -- opening the door, critics say, for power-seeking party activists to run the show.
''It creates a vacuum that must be filled, almost always by a political leader,'' said a longtime Long Beach resident who is active in politics. ''After Cammarato there will be someone else.''
As the local Democratic leader, Mr. Cammarato is a political kingmaker with an essential role in selecting city council candidates. As director of operations, he has a powerful administrative role. Technically, he answers to the city manager, who answers to the city council members, who, when it comes time to select the Democratic candidate slate, essentially answer to Mr. Cammarato.
''It's a consolidation of power in one man's hands, and it's just not healthy,'' said James P. Hennessy, one of the unsuccessful Republican city council candidates.
But Mr. Crystal said it was ''campaign rhetoric'' to assert that council members, who are paid less than $20,000 a year, feel beholden to Mr. Cammarato.
''It's sour grapes,'' said Mr. Crystal, a retired teacher. ''No one's ever told me how to vote, nobody's ever bullied me, outside of the gadflies and Republicans who run for office.''
For every alleged impropriety, Long Beach's leaders have plausible explanations that even their fiercest critics have a difficult time disproving.
The city's new police commissioner, John J. Laffey, a 31-year veteran of the New York Police Department, said he alone decided to reassign Lieutenant Sofield. ''What I'm doing now is exactly what Ray Kelly is doing in the N.Y.P.D.,'' Mr. Laffey said in an interview shortly after he became commissioner. ''And that is to set about forming my own team to run this police department.''
The request that the Martin Luther King Center find its rent money elsewhere was quickly withdrawn after it was clear that it could not do so this year, leaders said.
And the business about campaign literature being produced at City Hall? ''It's a nonsense situation,'' Mr. Cammarato said, explaining that a single member of his staff had printed one sheet of campaign material early in the morning, before the office opened.
''During a campaign, employees on either side of a campaign do foolish things,'' he said. The staff member was fined.
Mr. Cammarato, 54, who started working for the city of Long Beach some 30 years ago as a sewer maintenance worker, said he was likely to retire at the end of the year. Unless, that is, Mr. Porr urges him to stay.

Unique FC http://sett.com/uniquefc Draft Style Fantasy Football en-us Fri, 23 Mar 2018 11:30:10 +0000 http://sett.com Sett RSS Generator Operation 'Enforced Player Trades' Active http://sett.com/uniquefc/operation-enforced-player-trades-active Continuing on from the previous article, and following some discussions with the league members, we've decided to go ahead and adopt the player trading system starting from next month. Overall, this is extremely exciting!
On a personal note, there is an element of devastation in this. Why?Because it means that my Sanchez propelled monster of a team is likely to lose...well...Alexis Sanchez!
Gameweek 22 came to a close after a bore 0-0 draw between West Brom and Everton. Not that I'm going to complain with autosub Wisdom coming in to bolster my points tally by 6 points. How did the league shape up?
Nishit's Dodger's stayed 3 points ahead of my Sprezzature, but it was oh so close!Beating out Ravi's Uganda!
Not much contest elsewhere. 'Falcao save me FC' relying on a 9 point difference (no thanks to Falcao, thank you very much) to get past 'Drafting...' (somebody needs to tell Rishi that the draft is complete and he can rename his team...
In order to remedy this, my cousin Nish came up with a suggestion: What if we implemented compulsory player trades?
Picking the right mechanism might be tricky.Player trades can be exciting...IF they involve the 'big' players. Cesc Fabregas moving teams is a lot more noteworthy than George Boyd getting poached by another team (that said, he's knocked in a few handy goals for me in recent times!
Simply a requirement for a trade might be difficult. One of the biggest reasons that there is a lack of trades is that nobody ever feels that the other side is offering a fair deal.And well, that is often the case - like when Rishi tried to get Hazard off me in exchange for Nasri...Really?On a related note, when we rebuild the UniqueFC engine, I intend on enabling points to be used as currency. I think this would be a good negotiating tool that can encourage transfers by acting as make-weights. So for the prior example, I could demand 100 points to give up Hazard for Nasri (if I am feeling generous!
How would this be enforced?What would be the punishment for not fulfilling your obligatory trades?
The overall prospect of losing a key player to a rival and seeing his points be used against you is quite interesting and I think worth exploring. On the flip side, stealing an opponents key player to bridge the gap against him is fantastic!
Just to kick-start the player trading business. I've found that we tend to get attached to players that we have drafted in, almost irrationally so - this tends to stifle trades throughout the season and I wanted an early catalyst to make sure this didn't happen. I felt the trade would go through because...
I genuinely felt I was offering up a deal that was a no-brainer for the other side. Why would I do this?That brings us to number 3...
So what was the deal on offer?
Mame Biram Diouf - Looking threatening as the main man at Stoke (albeit slightly injury prone). He had just scored the winner against Manchester City not long before the draft so I was surprised that he had been overlooked!
So, would you have taken the deal on offer?And which side of the equation will win out in terms of total points by the end of the season?
The transfer window shut after a busy (mad!) day of transfers...Falcao to United?Seriously?
After much deliberation and research (going through a tonne of draft style fantasy football sites that have sprung up since we launched), I have decided to set my league for the upcoming season on...wait for it...a spreadsheet!
We just got back from the world cup in Brazil, which has been an absolutely fantastic experience!
As long time followers will know, last season was when we started development and launched. It took until a few months Into the season until we were ready to go but I'm happy to say that everything is in order now, and if we do go ahead, we can all jump in from the very beginning!
Related to the above, I am not sure on whether it is worthwhile continuing with the site. As recent comments have shown, there are a couple of other players that have joined the game over the last few months. Draft style fantasy football is a passion of mine and was our gift to fantasy football (because at the time, I could not find anything out there!
http://sett.com/uniquefc/live-and-ready So, after a countless number of delays (our apologies for that), we are ready to go!
We are already 8 gameweeks into the season, which is not ideal, but the game should still be immensely fun - and for myself personally, it is a ready made excuse for my appalling performance in the official game: "I'm focusing on draft style fantasy football this year..."

"Wow! I never knew that!" exclaimed the wide-eyed tester who had just finished reading about the evolution of toilets, from the public open-air ones in ancient Rome to modern toilets that flush automatically. Each successive development (chamber pot, outhouse) was the result of an invention that added a new feature. The entire 89-page book is filled with clear, easy to-read, amusingly-illustrated nuggets of history about how products that today's youngsters take for granted came to be: toasters, jeans, chocolate bars, bicycles, Velcro, paper clips, computer mouse, microwave ovens, skateboards and many, many more.
The book is enhanced by an Inventions Timeline dating back to 50,000 BC (oil lamps) to 1992 (Text message), glossary, and index.

Our Health Centre is to be a multi-faceted facility providing comprehensive health and wellness to the residents of the entire Municipality of Chester (from Martin’s River, to and including all of the Blandford Peninsula, and inland to New Ross), the Hubbards area, and the Tancook Islands. The broad vision for Our Health Centre is that of a welcoming, collaborative health facility where our community members can obtain health-related information and care, and can be well-served in times of health or illness. We believe Our Health Centre will help the people in our region to live healthier lives.
Our Health Centre will be owned and operated by the residents of our community. Great thought and care has gone into the design of the Centre, to ensure that we are able to address the growing gap between identified health care needs and timely access to care. For several years, it has been apparent that we do not have sufficient or appropriate health care resources available to serve the current or expanding needs of our community. Many of our residents do not have a family physician, yet our region has some of the highest incidences of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, in the province. We are also home to an aging population in need of geriatric and palliative support, which is currently not available.
Medical care shortage is one of the most critical issues in our region, specifically, our need for additional primary care physicians, nurse practitioners and family practise nurses. In addition to providing space for these medical professionals, Our Health Centre will be a multi-use “magnet facility” to attract other visiting medical specialists. It will also be a new home for the public health programs and services of the South Shore Health Authority, which will re-locate to this central site.
Our Health Centre will become a hub for the provision of community-based programs and services focusing on health, wellness and well-being for all residents of our municipality, with community outreach and lifestyle programs offered through the Centre and shared across the participating communities. There is ample evidence to show that the synergies of these activities will facilitate a new way of thinking about healthcare delivery. Our Health Centre will be a model for replication in other rural areas in Nova Scotia, and potentially elsewhere.
Our Business Plan is based on space rental, fees for certain services, and a small on-going fundraising commitment, to allow us to continue to build income from a growing endowment.
Our fundraising plan seeks support from year-round members of the community, summer residents, local and regional businesses, and will be underscored by a broad-based community campaign.

A United Nations Service medal was given to him for being a part of the allied forces in Korea, and for his service to the U.S. Army, he was awarded a Good Conduct medal. From October 9, 1962-October 22, 1968 he proudly served the East Rochester Community as a volunteer fireman for the East Rochester Fire Department. He will be greatly missed.

Why the Church needs the Gays. | *!
June 27, 2012 by Lindsey Someone once asked me why God would "let" any Christian question their sexuality. Their tone of voice, I have to admit, was similiar to when my mother admonishes me for letting my kids go out of the house "in THOSE clothes". You know, because there is nothing worse than being embarrassed as a mother by what the kids choose to wear or, conversely, being a congregation where someone might be gay. I didn't answer that particular friend right away. I believe I let out a long-suffering sigh and said, "I love you anyway", and changed the subject. But the tone of the conversation has stuck with me, as has the question itself. Why would God let any of His children out of the house gay?What point does it serve?
Not only is their penchant for gossip not reprimanded, it's abused by the Church!What about all of the many people who idolize clothing, television, wealth, themselves, sports, God only knows what else?Again, we tolerate it because we understand it and because most of us who are honest struggle with it ourselves. What about the people who deal with rage?Jealousy?
Reply Hayden T(ompkins) says: June 28, 2012 at 1:27 am A main reason why I left organized religion was the absolute hypocrisy and unjust, reactionary, self-centeredness I saw. People cleaving to the letter of the law and using it to lift themselves by tearing others down. The Jesus I grew up loving was nowhere (absolutely nowhere!
As for me, I love the idea that Christians are being given the opportunity of practicing Christ-ianity. Christ who surrounded himself with lepers and prostitutes, Christ who said 'let he who is without sin', Christ who understood that, above all, he was ministering to people…

Inwe c We also analyse spousal care dyads in order to model discrepancies in the reporting of care provision between spouses to provide an insight into the reliability of informal care measurements. We find that the most common measures used are likely to be under-estimating both the scale and scope of informal care, and we recommend careful consideration of the content of informal care survey questions in order to operationalise the measures of informal care activities.

Meanwhile, over in LVIS Gold, in the Open Mixed team category, things were no less prophetic. A team consisting of Jon R, Celia W, Kirstie S, James L and Andy L was due, by turns, to be endlessly cheerful, mighty in the face of adversity, well behaved, dashed fast and, rather letting the team down, getting antsy over minor details.
Someone had, however, neglected to order the sunshine. A degree of nervousness on the Friday evening accompanied the sight of many riders out pre-riding the course turning back for a snorkel and flippers. Happily things dried out nicely and the sunshine came to play on Saturday afternoon. The course was what everyone had come for, always renowned for a good bit of singletrack, the course this year was pleasingly technical for a 24h course, yet it did seem like an awful lot of climb for the payback. Hard work, certainly.
Drama aside, everyone had fun, and the LVIS teams were well satisfied with the weekend’s work. 4th in cat for LVIS Warnock Painvagen, 9th in cat for LVIS Gold. I’ve upgraded my email account storage in preparation for twentyfour12 2012 already.
Tim J and William both completed the Etape du Tour act 1 in purple and gold style on a day of stunning conditions and baking heat. In the final climb up Alpe d’Huez, Tim took a 7 minutes lead over William, but for these LVIS members that was not the real result of the day. In the post-event Strawpedo race, William finally put an end to Janisch’s decade of dominance. Janisch, gallant in defeat, did admit “It’s true. This was an unofficial overseas event, with no marshals or proper time-keeping, but Gilabert did pip Javendish by about 0.05sec”. All’s fair in cycling and strawpedos.

John’s report on his recent Ultramarathon glory.
Last weekend was the 3rd and final event in the Might Contain Nuts Welsh Winter Series of Ultramarathons. In contrast to the previous rounds of 30 and 40 miles where the conditions had been less than balmy (gales/sleet and snow featured respectively) this weekend provided ideal racing weather with broken sunshine, light winds and no precipitation.
Having done battle with the M4 on a Friday and reaches the Wye Valley sometime after bedtime a large portion of chips was consumed in Alf Tupper style and a place in the bunkroom secured for a brief night’s sleep before boarding coaches to the start at 5:45am. Having discovered that eight other chaps were inhabiting the bunkroom I was resigned to the certainty that at least one would be an internationally renowned snorer. However, against all the odds everyone slept in silence and many zzzz were accumulated.
At this point I should state that the organisation of the whole event was very slick. However, the organisers did make a huge blunder in providing portaloos at the start; because no sooner had the coach doors opened than a mad dash commenced for half the field to get in line to park their respective breakfasts! For those of us who take a minimalist approach to race kit kicking your heels for half an hour is no sufficient to stave off the cold and there’s a distinct possibility of looking like a berk warm-up running for an ultra (says the bloke in the bright red tri-suit).
Once the toilet queue had subsided we lined up ready to go. Having had the whole journey form London to consider race tactics, and bearing in mind my first round blunder of haring off at the front and missing a turning I reminded myself to stay in the lead bunch until 1/2 way and then take stock. I should point out that a little appreciated fact of fell and ultra running is that being faster than everyone else is actually a disadvantage when you’re heading in the wrong direction ….. With that thought in mind I headed off at the front in close company of

Bodine Set to Race Copart Tundra on Friday at Lowe's Mooresville, N.C. (05-11-2009) Todd Bodine has raced many types of racing vehicles at Lowe's Motor Speedway, including a Legends car. This Friday, he races in the NASCAR Camping World...
"Copart is an exciting company and we are glad to have them sponsor Germain Racing," said team owner Bob Germain. "We'Copart both at the race track and at our dealerships. Copart wants to get the message out that people can find a variety of cars at Copart.com and the No. 30 Copart Tundra will help deliver that message to race fans."
"We're running a new tire at Lowe's on Friday. It's never been raced on a truck, but, Germain Racing has some important experience with this tire that should give the Copart Tundra a headstart on practice Friday. The Cup Series used the tire at Las Vegas, where Max Papis raced our GEICO Camry," said Hillman. "I'm expecting the tire to make the Copart Tundra a little bit tighter than the truck has been at Lowe's in the past, so we'll start off our practice sessions with the chassis setup looser than we would have in years past."
What makes Lowe's Motor Speedway stand out from other tracks?
"Lowe's is easy to over drive the corners, and the groove can move around a little bit, especially in turns three and four. It's a tricky race track. The thing that stands out the most is being able to sleep in my own bed at night -- it might be my favorite feature."
How many Series Have You Raced in at Lowe's?
Is there a new challenge at Lowe's?
"We are racing on a tire that is new to the Truck Series. It's important that Germain Racing has some experience with this tire from our Sprint Cup Series program. We expect the tire to make the Copart Tundra a little more tight than it's been at Lowe's, so we'll prepare the truck by starting with our setup a little more loose."
"Family. Seriously, it's knowing that when the racing is done, I'"

3. Divide students into eight groups, and distribute copies of the Nuclear Age Timeline (http://www.nuclearfiles.org/chron/). Explain that each group will be assigned a different decade on the timeline to examine through their own brainstorming and through any necessary research, and then theyAssign each group a decade represented on the timeline. Students should first use the timelines to discover answers to the research questions, and then use all available classroom resources to supplement their ideas.o are the key players or countries during this decade, and why?–What technologies or technological advances were invented or developed in this decade?–What were the consequences of the use or development of nuclear weapons in this decade?
4. WRAP-UP/HOMEWORK: Each group develops a presentation to teach the class about the nuclear developments and issues in their assigned decade. Groups class understand which countries were affected by nuclear weapons in military planning and how this affected the United States. Presentations should all include a poster that presents their findings using both thoughtfully-written text and illustrationsinformation to the class in chronological order and similarlydisplay their posters on a wall of the classroom. After presentations, the class should describe any patterns found in the history of nuclear weapons as they are used for military planning. To synthesize their learning, each student writes a brief (one to two page) response to the following prompt: "To what extent should nuclear weapons be used as part of the United States' military planning?Support your answer with factual information drawn from the timeline, thPosture Review. Propose alternative resolutions to military conflicts involving nuclear weapons."governments believe military planning should include nuclear weapons?–Do you think countries should stockpile nuclear arms as part of a military plan?Why or why not?–Could nuclear weapons be used to support military planning in a positive way?Why or why not?–Should military weapons actually be used or kept just as a threat to our enemies?

Abbott presses Congress for an extra $61B to rebuild after Harvey
“We are ”
According to the report, local officials were instructed to focus on infrastructure, not housing needs, which will receive funding separately billion to buy land, easements, and rights-of-way around
$466 million for the Port of Houston to “create resiliency” and harden the Houston Ship Channel.
Abbott appointed Sharp, who is the chancellor of Texas A&M; University and a former legislato oversee the commission in early September.
So far, Congress has agreed to spend more than $51 billion on disaster relief in the past two months. But it is unclear what Texas’s share of that money will be because it will be divided between the states and territories devastated by three deadly hurricanes and fatal wildfires.

Bob rode in the Masters 3/4 again and performed much better. He stayed in the top 20 of a 100+ field the whole race. This of course saved him a bunch of matches to burn for the last couple laps. On the final lap he got pinched in turn two and lost some spots after grabbing a handful of brakes. The racing was very aggressive, and he doesn't need any reminders that to stay up in the pack he has to get more aggressive himself. He ended up finishing 31st. Better placing than yesterday and much better riding!
OK, so it's not as important as what happened in the 30s and 40s; but the Beverly Bike/Vee-Pak Racing Team, based in the heart of Chicago's Southside, is looking to start a women's program. One of our goals last year was to expand our roster. Our first step was looking for juniors to join our ranks. Not only did we accomplish that, but we got a junior state championship in CX!
Now we're looking for some ladies who enjoy crits, road rides, CX, triathlons, and/or mountainbiking. Please click on "Contact The Team" on the right, shoot us an email, are all about. Thanks for your time!

The woman who commissioned two pieces from me (see April 23rd post) to go with two others she'd purchased from Xanadu Gallery sent an email after they'd received the package. She said they really loved the barrel cactus close-up piece, but it wasn't working with the grouping and was like the song form Sesame Street "One of these just doesn't belong here..." HA! I told her I wondered if it would "play well with others" as it had a very dominant personality. She expressed interest in getting another 12"x12" landscape of mine at Xanadu, so we decided she should ship the cactus piece to the gallery and they would send her the landscape. She sent this photo of how the arrangement looks with the watercolor they already owned. They're very happy with the grouping and I think it looks great!

VICENZA, Italy — In 2003-04, the Caserma Ederle community honored nine members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade who died in Iraq. In 2005-06, Americans and Italians mourned 18 members of the Southern European Task Force (Airborne) who lost their lives in Afghanistan.
But no single memorial service during those spans honored as many soldiers as one on Friday. Five Sky Soldiers were killed last week in a pair of deadly incidents in Afghanistan.
Two of the soldiers had strong roots in Vicenza and were married to Italian nationals.
Curry, the top enlisted soldier in Company D of the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, served enough tours in the city to be a member of four battalions.
He joined the 3rd Battalion, 325th Infantry Regiment in 1987 and returned to the unit after it had been reflagged to the 1st Battalion, 508th Infantry Regiment. He then before rejoining his original battalion — now known as 1-503 — a year before deploying to Afghanistan again.
“My first impression of him was that he was going to do great things for our Army,” Rice said of a meeting five years ago. “And he never let me down."
He said Johnson used to take grief from other soldiers on how devoted he was to his wife, Sara. But “if there was anyone you could count on, Sgt. Johnson was the man,” he said.
Restrepo, Davis and Rogers had spent far less time in Italy. But their friends also had plenty of memories.
Restrepo came a long way to serve in Vicenza and then Afghanistan. He was born in Colombia, and he’ll be buried there.
Martinez said he respected Davis for having strong beliefs and sticking to them. And for Davis’ outlook on life. “Adam knew that life was to be lived, but not too seriously,” he said.
Davis would have turned 20 on Friday.

Search this site: ON ARCHITECTURE Wall of shame or honor?: Locals test-drive the free speech wall
Published online Thursday Jan 12th, 2006 Who would have thought that one of Charlottesville's most provocative architectural projects would be a solitary wall?
Yet the bold and simple design that local architects Peter O'Shea and Rob Winstead came up with for the "free speech wall"– a 55-foot long, seven-foot high chalkboard smack in front of City Hall– has had people talking since it was first proposed nine years ago.
In fact, O'Shea didn't think their design would win because of the argument they knew it would trigger. "I was thinking we wouldn't win because of the potential worries about what people might write on the wall," says O'Shea. Ironically, he says, that's exactly why the design won.
"The Jefferson Center and the jury felt that it best embodied the intention of the First Amendment," says O'Shea. "And went further by encouraging people to actively exercise this right in a public setting."
Like many proponents of the wall, O'Shea believes the debate itself embodies the intention of the project. However, critics say it's more about the design being an ineffective and inappropriate way to honor our First Amendment.
Proponents like Josh Wheeler, associate director of the Jefferson Center, which sponsors the wall, see it as a unique way to encourage free expression. "It was a very courageous decision on the part of City Council," said Wheeler after City Council approved the project in 2001, "and an unprecedented statement by elected officials that the exercise of First Amendment rights are not only tolerated but invited."
Rhetoric like this attracted national media attention, as well as the support of a number of Charlottesville celebrities and philanthropists, including Sissy Spacek, Rita Mae Brown, and John Kluge (who eventually donated $125,000 ), to the project. In addition, says O'Shea, at a public hearing before the Council vote, supporters overwhelmingly out numbered critics.
However, wall critic Kevin Cox says that's because Wheeler and the Jefferson Center went around to schools at UVA and in the County to talk up the project before the hearing. "They basically packed the hearing with supporters, which kind of forced Council's arm to approve the project," says Cox.
That's a charge that Wheeler neither confirms or denies. As Cox points out, "Nobody wants to publicly criticize the monument because they don't want to be labeled as anti-free speech."
However, the now defunct Observer ran an editorial calling the proposed wall "untrue to the spirit of free expression" because it would allow people to say wh In effect, it was a coward's form of free speech. As a result, the editorial predicted, the wall would become an eyesore laced with the kind of profanity and inane scribblings found in bathroom stalls.
Local businessman Tyler Sewell also felt the project was ill-conceived. "In theory, the chalkboard for free speech is a great idea," he wrote on a local blog. "In practice, it will be an ugly eyesore covered with profanity and an ugly embarrassment for th

Detroit is not unique among American cites in its suffering, but it is iconic, and Mark shows us all the agonies of the city in solid, filling language. His words also show, though, that there is and can be hope, and that it comes not from the government or the city elite, but from the people in the neighborhoods when they start to care.

In the first picture, on the left, what looks like a full moon toward the top of the photo...isn't. If you look down to the area between the trees you'll clearly see the crescent moon. So what is the other thing? A "fool" moon perhaps?
In the second photo there's something similar. The crescent moon is brightly visible, but look to the left and just a bit lower, to where a faint orb is caught within the branches of the pine. It looks very much like a full moon, even showing, to my eyes, a hint of the Man in the Moon's face.
Mainly today, I want to talk about the gross out and its role in horror fiction. The gross out occurs when the reader makes the “disgust” face. The reader’s head recoils slightly from the page. The mouth curves back and down and the lips purse slightly as if the person has tasted something foul. The nostrils are flared, not to draw in a scent but rather to push air out so no scent can get in. Imagine what your face does when you smell something that really stinks and you’ll have the disgust face.
Disgust is an emotion, and as such it is capable of being evoked by physical description. Disgust is generally one element of horror, but it is, to my way of thinking, the least important element. Disgust is also easy to evoke, although easier in some readers than in others. I’ve read a lot of horror fiction in my day, for example, and written quite a bit, and it’s pretty hard to gross me out. A scene written purely for the gross out is thus likely to work best on those who read little if any horror. A good horror writer can typically gross out most folks with a snap of the fingers. But all you do then is send those folks away from your work, not draw them in. For the gross out to work it has to be only one element, a minor element, among all the other elements of good storytelling.
To avoid grossing out my blog readers, I’m going to give only vague examples of what I’m talking about below. I recently read Spawn by Shaun Hutson because someone said he was one of the grossest writers out there. The book certainly had a lot of grossness in it. For example, one early scene has hospital workers burning bed linens stained with all manner of bodily fluids. I made the disgust face at the description, so Mr. Hutson achieved his aim there. The problem was, I felt nothing other than disgust. A later description of aborted fetuses worked the same way. Disgust plus disgust does not make horror. It’s more like showing people boogers and watching them recoil.
There! The “pale worms” evoke just a hint of grossness, a hint that doesn’t overwhelm but takes the reader deeper into the place where true horror dwells. That’s when you know you’re in the hands of someone who cares deeply about the craft of writing horror fiction. Moore wants to wring every emotion out of you, not just turn your stomach. That’s the mark of a good writer in general, and of a good horror writer in particular.
I haven’t quite finished Beyond the Porch Light… yet. I have one story to go. So far my favorites have been the title story, and an awesome little tale called “Electrocuting the Clowns.” All the stories are good, however, and I have no reservations about recommending this collection to anyone who likes good storytelling. And if you like to feel a little shiver while you sit and read, while the sun slowly sinks outside your home and the darkness comes creeping, then all the better. Just don’t venture beyond the porch light.

Work is kicking my ass and I’m way behind. So, it’s standard operating procedure for first thing in the new semester. I’m keeping my head above water so far, although with the pouring rain outside at the moment I don’t know how long that will last.
Lana seems to be almost completely recovered from her surgery. She’s already feeling much better than she was before so I’m happy about that.
While listening to the rain and helping students, in the background I’m running “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” by T. S. Eliot. If this isn’t a masterpiece then I don’t know what is. I wish I could write a poem this fine.
No time to write poetry now, though. The students are coming, hungry for overrides, in need of schedules, wanting me to fix all their problems with a few taps of my fingers on the keyboard.
I’ll post this when our current returns!
1. Rick over at The Writer and the White Cat had some very kind things to say about Write with Fire and its author. Since I respect Rick's own writing ability I'm very flattered. Thanks, my friend.

First, thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. And thanks to everyone who suggested possibilities for the books I mentioned there. Special thanks to Greg, Writtenwyrd, Don, and Daniel, who did indeed identify some of the books. I owe you folks. I now can put authors and details to “The Secret Staircase,” “Smuggler’s Island, “Claws,” “Listen to the Worm,” “Panther!,” and “My Gift to You.” Don over at Issa’s Untidy Hut came up with the most. I knew my blogging pals were cool.
2. 3:10 to Yuma. It’s a western and I liked it, although it’s no Once Upon a Time in the West. Russell Crowe did a great job as the villain I thought, and had some great one liners. However, there were some letdowns in the orchestration of the whole thing. How does a prisoner in cuffs manage to kill two members of the posse taking him to the prison train without, perhaps, being bound and watched a little more closely after that? On the other hand, this one had by far the best all around cast of the movies I saw. Even the supporting actors did well, and many of them were well known, such as Peter Fonda.
3. Snow White: A Tale of Terror. Sigourney Weaver did a bang up job as the wicked stepmother/witch in this one. I thought she was superb. This was a somewhat loose retelling of the Snow White story but was pretty enjoyable. It was definitely a horror rather than a fantasy. The supporting cast was much weaker than Weaver, and I could kind of see at the beginning why the Stepmother didn’t much like the stepdaughter. I would have wanted to strangle the little priss myself. Some interesting visuals as well.
In past days my record keeping on my books was not always as disciplined as it is today. I know, I'm very very bad. Lana will have to punish me. But, nevertheless, there are a number of books in my list of previously read books that have titles but no author listed. And I have not been able to identify or locate them. I hang my head in shame, I tell you!
In hopes that someone in the blogosphere might have an idea about the authors for these books, I'm going to give the details I know about here. Said details are very slender. But if anyone recognizes any of these I'd appreciate a heads up. So without further ado, I air my dirty book laundry below:
1. Title – The Freak
Time period – I would have read this probably sometime in the 1980s or earlier.
2. Title – Claws
Time period - Again, probably from the 1980s.
Details – I seem to remember it had something to do with either cats or crabs. I originally thought this might be "Night of the Claw" by Jay Ramsey, but after getting that book I don't think so.
3. Title - Smuggler’s Island
Genre – young adult, I'm pretty sure
Time Period – probably from the 1970s or earlier. This is 'not' the Avi book by that name from much later.
4. Title - My Gift to You
Time Period - Some time before the late 1980s. At least that's when I read it.
5. Title - Listen to the Worm
Time Period - Also some time before the late 1980s.
6. Title - The Sun is Up
7. Title - Panther
Genre - Young adult probably
Time Period - Almost certainly the 1970s or earlier
8. Title - The Secret Staircase
Genre - Young adult or children's book
Time Period - Probably from before the early 1980s. This may be one I read to my son.
9. Title - Mystery of the Red Skull
Genre - probably young adult
Time Period - before the 1980s, probably in the early 1970s.
Well, there are more but that's probably enough for this post.

If you get a chance while over at X-Dell's site, check out the Golden Ganesh widget at top right and listen to the episodes of this ensemble audio story. Very pulpy with some neat twists and turns. Highly recommended.
And here's where first impressions play a role. Despite the fact that I've been told over and over that King's book was not indicative of the Hard Case Crime list, and that the other books really, really are good, I've not picked up a single one. Intellectually, I'm sure I probably would like some of the other Hard Case novels. But, there are a lot of books to spend my money on. And when it comes time to shell out that money, I have, so far, been unable to persuade myself to take a chance on another Hard Case book instead of a book that feels like it has more promise.
2. Years ago I read Samarkand by Graham Diamond. When I bought it, it seemed like a book that was right down my alley. An exotic setting. A city under siege. Swords and sorcery. But I didn't care much for it (although it was considerably better than The Coyote Kid). Diamond has at least half a dozen more fantasy novels with equally tantalizing settings. I picked up one at a book sale years ago for 50 cents but I haven't read it and probably never will read another Diamond book. When I look at my to-be-read pile, there's just too many books above the Diamond one that promise more.
Well, Lana had surgery this morning but she came through with flying colors. She's been sleeping all day and I'm sure she'll be very sore and not feeling too well when she wakes up. She has to spend the night in the hospital but I'll bring her home in the morning. It will be weird sleeping at home without her tonight. Please keep her in your thoughts.

But… (You knew a “but” was coming didn’t you?), there’s one thing I miss about the old book hunting days. To channel for a moment my inner nerd, I remember the thrill of finding an unknown used bookstore and going in to browse the shelves for the first time. I had a list of books I wanted, although I didn’t generally have to carry the list with me. I knew in my head what I was looking for. I’d scan along the rows of colorful spines, checking for an obscure Robert E. Howard book here, searching out an Alan Burt Akers volume there. And OH the excitement when I found something I’d wanted but didn’t have. I generally didn’t ‘kiss’ the covers. Not physically anyway. But it was like finding a gold nugget in a pan of dross.
I still remember with absolute clarity one of my favorite moments in personal book hunting history. In high school I’d borrowed a book from my brother-in-law called Meat on the Hoof, about college football at the University of Texas. The book stayed with me, and when I was in my early thirties I began searching for it in used bookstores everywhere I went. Although I remembered the title and the cover, I had no idea who had written it. But I wanted that book. I even called my brother-in-law but he no longer had the copy. I couldn’t find it anywhere else either.
Would it have been the same if I’d been able to search it out on the net? I know from other experiences of finding books via the net that it would not have been. Oh, I still get a sense of excitement and pleasure, but it’s like having a glass or two of wine with dinner as opposed to the buzz of those first couple of pitchers of beer on a lazy afternoon in a darkened bar when you’ve got Friday night ahead of you.

I decided to send a few items in. I went back through various stories or novels that I’ve started but not continued and culled out what I thought were the most interesting openings. Then I added a dash of editing to get them down to the 25 word limit and try to make them fit the hint fiction concept. Below are some of the ones that didn’t make the cut for me to submit.
The boy looked up to see dust approaching the ferry. Within the dust was a horse, on the horse a rider, all turned to gray.
During the day she cried. Long and hard by herself. And outside the grey wind blew chilled and lonely. She had so much to give.
Swiftly, along dirt roads and through fields of yellow grain, the dry leaves and dust fled, running from the evening storm that stalked behind them.
On the first day of the month of Harps, he had not returned. And on the second the wind blew black with dust.
You see them occasionally in your home town. They are always passing through. The fangs in their eyes give them away.
Predators seldom stalk predators. But when it happens…
Also, three more of my blog colleagues have posted very nice things about Write With Fire and have even spoken highly of me. And I didn’t even pay them. If you get a chance check out:
1. Travis’s Tuesday, July 28th post over at his blog.
2. C. S. Harris’s commentary on her blog.
3. Greg Schwartz, who I had made a note to myself to add to this list and then somehow let his post slip my mind, also commented on the book and offers some other interesting info over on his blog.
Thanks Trav and Candy and Lana. And thanks Greg. Sorry I missed that link first time around. And thanks to everyone who has already mentioned the book. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much Sammie. I hope your kids love them! Stay healthy :)
OMG. I am obsessing over this!!! They’re gorgeous and perfectly marbled!! Ahh, in love!!
And I’ve sorta been sick all winter. I can’t handle the daycare germs!!!!!!!
Hi, could the raw cookie dough be frozen and baked a few weeks later? Thanks
I imagine it would freeze just fine. Enjoy! :)
Oh! These are so, so prettywith sugar cookies! Pinning!.
Thank you, Aiga! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! :)
These came out great! I baked mine at 325 for the same amount of time and they were perfect! Thank you for such a great idea!!!
Hi! These look so great. Wondering if you can chill the dough for more than an hour? Like overnight ? And then make the next day?
Absolutely. You will need to let it warm up a bit on the counter before you can properly roll it though as it will firm up quite a bit overnight.
How exactly do you twist/mold together the marble effect?
These are really beautiful cookies Rachel!
How many balls each of pink and white to you form before kneading them together?
I was trying to count from the photo…
These cookies are beautiful, it’s the most fun I’ve had making cookies in a long time! I wish I knew how to attach a picture. Thank you!
Made these cookies very easy dough to work with!
I used cookie stamp letters and they looked so professional.
So glad the egg replacement worked for you without issue! Thanks so much for sharing, Mary! :)

-performing schools and student subgroups for support and improvement according to new methodologies until the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year. Then, in April of 2017, the USDE sent a follow-up Dear Colleague Letter to offer more guidance “to ensure an orderly transition to the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA” (USDE, 2017).
In a Memorandum to Chief of State School Officers, Erica Navarro, Director of Budget Services, explains that most grant programs funded by the USDE are “forward-funded,” which means that “funds are typically appropriated in advance of the upcoming school year and are obligated on July 1 (and in some programs, on October 1 as well) of the fiscal year” (USDE, 2017). This means that Department formula grant programs for the current 2016-2017 school year were funded by the FY2016 Appropriations Act. As for the 2017-2018 school year, formula grant programs under ESSA are funded by FY2017 appropriations, and the budget for FY2018 will affect district spending in the 2018-2019 school year.
Appropriations for FY2017 resulted in a $447 million increase from the level authorized in ESSA; a total of $15.5 billion dollarsNCLB School Improvement Grants (SIG) program.
This increase will help states implement ESSA programs in the 2017-2018 school year. ESSA allows up to 7% of Title I funding to be set aside for this purpose. Another piece of guidance that the USDE offers to “ensure orderly transition” to ESSA is to the States that do not distribute all of the school improvement funds for FY2017 to schools on the “needs improvement” list in the 2017-2018. The USDE advises that these States carry over the remainder of FY2017 school improvement funds to the 2018-2019 school year when full ESSA implementation is expected: when the State has an approved plan, newly identified schools, and has implemented its revised methodology andstrategies.
The chart below shows the changes in funding levels in Title I-A for FY2016-FY2018 inclusive of the amounts originally authorized in ESSA.
Title IV consolidated nearly 50 NCLB grant programs to create a large block grant that funds everything from educational technology, computer science, social-emotional learning, the arts, music, STEM e. The new spending bill has instituted significant changes. First of all, Title IV-A funding levels have been altered. The grant programs in operation during the 2016-2017 school year—still the NCLB grants—were at a funding level that was $122 million less than the FY2017 appropriations for the new Title IV-A block grant program. Nevertheless, FY2017 appropriations for Title IV-A saw a dramatic reduction from the amount that was originally authorized in ESSA; a cut of $1.6 billion. Secondly, since funding for this program is low, the new spending bill allows States to award Title IV-A funds on a competitive grant basis rather than by formula. If a State chooses to distribute the grants on a competitive basis, the State must ensure that 20% goes to well-rounded education, 20% goes to safe and healthy students, and while 60% of the remaining funds can go toward any or all three categories including up to 25% of funds for educational technology (but only 15% may be spent on educational technology if funds are distributed by formula). Districts can apply to one or all three categories under Title IV-A, yet a needs assessment is required to submit to the State with priority given to districts showing higher need. The FY2018 proposal has eliminated this large block grant program.
Below are the changes in funding levels for Title IV-A.
On May 23, 2017, the President released the FY2018 Budget proposal which eliminates a number of programs under ESSA. The proposal aims to increase overall funds in Title I, the grant for disadvantaged students, mainly to facilitate school choice while eliminating Title II-Part A and Title

Interview by Arjun Verma
Dr. Nazeema has a very good academic record from her School till her doctorate and she was a University Gold medalist at Bharathiar University. She is the recipient of the Best Faculty award from Nehru College among the teachers of South India and has also received Best Faculty awards from RVS College and Sree Narayana Guru College during her academic tenure at these institutions. She has also received Dr.RadhaKrishnan Gold medal award for her contribution towards teaching and research and the best Alumni award for the work rendered as the Vice President of the Alumni association.
Dr. Nazeema T.H on her experience in the education industry
I had started this profession as a lecturer. I was passionate about teaching right from my younger days and during my Post Graduation, I took a seminar where my staff said that, I was teaching like a teacher and that is when I decided to become one. And so after my M.Sc, I took up the job of an Assistant professor at Sree Narayanan Guru College of Arts and Science. During my tenure, I got the depth of my subject, where I was able to correlate the subject matter at different angles of Biochemistry which I had not acquired during my higher studies. This provoked a thought in me regarding the education given in all the Higher Educational Institutions
After about 8 years, I was selected as the HOD of Biochemistry at RVS College of Arts and Science. It was a different experience altogether as it was an autonomous college, that gave me the freedom to do a lot of work on the syllabus by incorporating practical concepts which would be applied in the industry. This is how education industry inspired more into me. While working as the HOD, we realized that we were very low on admissions and decided to work on boosting it and that is how I became the admission Director, wherein, I discovered my passion in administration also. In 2018, I became the Principal of KSG College. My reason for taking up this post was being able to do a lot of things for the younger generation through education. According to me, this is the best Industry to work with, because you get a chance to mould the younger generation on their thought process and also would be able to inculcate social responsibility. You get a chance to teach them things that had not been provided during their schooliate education. In the longer run, this also gives a chance to create a younger generation who can bring change in the nation.
I am still on the learning process and where am still learning and assessing myself to find out what kind of leadership is good for the team andAt times I am a democratic leader and the rest of the times I am authoritative. Yet, am not bossy when things are not done on time. I have to make the team understand and at such times I take up a dominative role too.
KSG curriculum
Regarding the curriculum at KSG, It has implemented value-added programs in each and every department which cater to the industry needs. Since we have students from Tamil Medium schools also, we render an exclusive communicative English classes and Personality development classes which grooms these students so as to fit in the Industry. The commerce students are rendered with a Tally program while the Computer Science students excel themselves on Artificial Intelligence. The students are given hands-on training in two of their domains related to their subject.
Placement opportunities available at K.S.G. College
As a Principal, I am pretty confident that the huge placement opportunities for KSG is in hands right now already. Still, more number of companies have come forward to take up the students from KSG into their organization. And, we are communicating with the HR of the various core companies pertaining to the departments available which leads to our vision of making more student entry into these companies apart from the IT field.
An open relationship with the students being the Principal of K.S.G College
Being the Principal of KSG, a growing college, which in itself needs a lot of interaction among all the students starting from the first year Undergraduate to the second year Postgraduate students so as to know their requirements and to make this Institution a student-centric one.
Students are not only interacted for their academics but also for the sports, extracurricular activities, health issues and also in motivating them for creating a social responsibility within them. Students are also asked to give their feedbacks related to their interested placements and about their expectations which is not being fulfilled. This feedback tells us the student needs for their up-liftment of their career.
An ideal school environment
Our ideal school environment is to give more autonomy to students in making wise decisions on certain issues related to the college and thereby creating critical thinking, analytical reasoning, intuitive approach and problem-solving skill among students. More responsibility would be given to students in deciding on the course which they need to study, question bank preparation and also in engagement of organizing various events.
Goals for making students great analytical thinkers
In the next few years, the institution would be heading towards reaching its vision in making our students as great analytical thinkers and having utmost critical reasoning power in them.
The institution would be reaching its autonomous status and would thrive to be a great University rendering the best to the younger community.
The current youth should start thinking about the nation’s growth. Their contribution to society concern is the need of the hour. Let’s start having a sense of protecting our natural resources. As students, I would request all of you to take up life skills as your priority and master them. My best wishes to you for taking up great challenges in life and to become a person who could bring change to the nation for a better living.

you sad? Sometimes I wondered if Ms. Linde ever shouted at people. I couldn't imagine any mean words muscling their way past her smile. I wondered if she had practiced speaking softly, just like I had practiced pretending to sleep, so now she couldn't shout.
I stopped taking my pills; they didn't help anyways. Dad never said anything. He just kept sending me to Ms. Linde.
Mealtimes, bus rides, class, shopping; no place was safe. Sometimes I would get sleepy before everything faded away, sometimes I didn't remember closing my eyes. Sometimes I did it on purpose, sometimes I didn't. My deceit became my disorder, but as long as I could sleep through my Algebra Two midterm, I didn't care. I had a doctor's note for ignoring everything.
It started as a game when I was about three. I didn't want to pick up my toys, or I wanted a few more minutes to myself during naptime. The footsteps were my warning to drop to the floor, to smooth my smile and close my eyes. I would fall asleep. When I woke up, my toys would be put away or I would be left alone to my daydreams of princesses and fairies. It was so much fun, fooling the adults. Sometimes I pretended to be asleep just for the thrill of tricking people. Ha! I would think to myself. Got you!
But then Mom and Dad started to fall out of love. They fell into different lives and grew restless in the one they had made together. I didn't understand, and I didn't want to. It was easier to hide in Dreamland. I would close my eyes and pretend myself away. I slept through hissed discussions and shouting matches. I got better at falling asleep faster so I didn't have to hear the opening arguments. I started dozing off at school during quizzes, on the bus when Jessie called me brace-face. After a while, I didn't even have to try.
My parents settled into different apartments. Fell into different loves.
Then they realized their child should have stopped napping nine years ago.
Having a routine helps me be a somewhat normal twenty-eight year old, or at least wards off attacks that would have me curled up on the sidewalk using some cement for a pillow. I made it out of community college in two years with a degree in something that doesn't help me process medical claims at Centrum Insurance. Initially my boss tried to put me on the phones, but one too many callers got upset when they received heavy breathing instead of a reason why their money wasn't in their FSA account. Luckily my boss's daughter has ADD, so she understands what it's like to live with a condition you can't necessarily control.
Now I'm back to a regular schedule, hiding in my cubicle and taking naps every couple of hours. It's become almost like clockwork, like those screens in an airport or train station that tell you the departures and arrivals. At 2:15pm, Lora is going to depart from the world of casual bitchiness on a round-trip shuttle to dreamland. She'll be back on the commuter rail at 3:00pm.
My friends used to tell 'm really passionate about. When we go out, I make excuses to leave early, saying that I didn't get a nap in today, or I don't want to embarrass them by falling asleep in the bread bowl.
It's like when you take a drive somewhere, and you're in the passenger seat. You're going somewhere, but you're also not moving at all. You're sitting down and not doing anything, just watching the world blur together outside your window. My life gets like that, blurry and moving fast while I just sit on the couch and let my eyes fall closed.
When summer nights are hot like this one, I pretend it's the heat and not Hank's oppressive weight three inches away that scares me out of bed. Hank sighed when he came to bed tonight; it's our six month anniversary, and he was probably expecting some amazing sex with multiple orgasms. I was "asleep," my back turned to the undoubtedly forlorn picture he cut with brand new boxers and drooping shoulders. He should have taken earlier protest that I was too tired to go out and celebrate tonight as a hint. He knows that my condition kills my sex drive anyways. Falling asleep in the middle of sex is a major downer. Literally.
I breathed every five seconds until he had showered, changed, and fallen asleep beside my prone body. Maybe it said something that he didn't even try to wrap an arm around me. He knows I'm emotionally as well as sexually stunted. The last time I had a shouting match with my mom, I ended up slumped over on the couch, cataplexy playing hell with my muscles. Hank is understanding of my condition and probably loves me all the more for it. I like Hank because he is another thing I can hide behind, something that helps me maintain my routine and hold on to normalcy. Hank is sweet, 6'2," and brunette. He makes me pancakes when I ask. We met through one of my few acquaintances, and I almost turned him down when he asked me out. But the jacket he lent me that night was big, and it was warm. It smelled nice. Lived in. Hank told me over Americanos the next morning that I reminded him of his sister: quiet, but not afraid speak my mind. It's a very polite way of saying I'm blunt and acerbic. He laughed when I told him that.
I think I'm a project for Hank. Sometimes it feels like he's trying to infect me with his own malady of humor and sunshine, attempting to sweeten me up with kisses and the thick, chocolately no-bake cookies he makes to tempt me out of napsIf we're using each other, then I'm not such a dick. But God those cookies make me do crazy things, like care about his day and buy nice panties. Good dogs deserve treats every once in a while.
I have a balcony on my apartment because it's in a shitty part of Somerton that not many people want to live in. It's the kind of area with close-quarter buildings that are held together by pigeon crap, an occasional girl on the corner who will grab your crotch instead of shaking your hand, and an unspoken curfew that starts at nine but goes later if you've got a guy or mace. I could certainly afford better, but I don't get many requests to host Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners, so that's a huge plus. My balcony also gives me a view of the trains. They rumble up from the depths to bridges built specifically for them, clacking along the outskirts on a track that's almost level with my sixth floor apartment. The city built these raised roads about ten years ago in the early 2000s, trying to make room for the heavy car traffic that clogs the streets below. It's supposed to be "new age," but the trains are the same as the T's in the subways, and the rails are decorated by the same graffiti artists flaunting their bubble letter skills.
I lean on the metal guardrail and wonder how many people jump from the rusted tracks. It's definitely possible, and if the nets that hang from underneath the structure give any indication, a common enough occurrence to warrant some taxpayer money. I look over the bar to see if the city had caught anything. The nets are empty, the newspaper this morning told me another body had been found where the track turns at the corner of Mayberry and Saint Thomas. Hank had been sad, had asked me how people could do that, to themselves, to their children, to their families.
I had shrugged, flicked to the comics. Not everyone is happy, Hank, I had said.
His sister had been depressed, he told me.
He was standing in the kitchen in his Batman boxers. Jesus. Dating six months and he was already airing out the dirty laundry.
His sister, when she was thirteen, wouldn't eat. Then they found scars on her wrists. Hank had looked so sad that I felt obligated to get up and give him a hug. He pulled me into him, mumbling that he would make sure I was always

How long does resetting a PC take?
If you are using a disk, around an hour, same with a USB. Give or take 20 minutes, depending on how much data you have on the hard drive, and how big it is(500gb takes less time to format than a 1tb). The other mode which has become available, is the factory reset option, which can take up to 2 hours.

Stranger raising money for Coming Attractions Bridal after Ebola scare prompts closing
Updated January 8, 2015 at 2:32 PM ; Posted January 8, 2015 at 1:30 PM
AKRON, Ohio -- A complete stranger set up an online fundraiser to try to save Coming Attractions Bridal and Formal from going out of business after Amber Vinson's Ebola scare daunted customers.
She had never shopped at Coming Attractions and she did not know the store owners, but when Terri Crispin of Munroe Falls heard that the Tallmadge Avenue store was closing she pickAnna Younker, who Thursday announced she was closing her doors this year, unable to shed the stigma of the Ebola scare. Younker protested the idea of asking for money.
Crispin, who had watched some of the animal rescuers she volunteers to organize use the website, had already set up an account on GoFundMe.com.
By Thursday morning the account had already raised $750, and Younker said the City of Akron called her to offer some of its vacant property for relocation.
Younker doesn't know what exactly it would take to get the business up and running in another location. She said Thursday that she hadn't even had time to contemplate it.
"I never thought anyone would reach out to us like that," Younker said. "When you decide to close a business you don't really think about people giving you money to stay open."
Coming Attractions closed for three weeks in October and November, in the middle of her busiest season, after Vinson shopped for bridesmaid dresses there on a trip home from Dallas, where she worked as a nurse and contracted the Ebola virus.
She paid out of pocket to cover the cost of specialized ultraviolet decontamination.
It wasn't enough, though. Despite a highly publicized reopening ceremony and a 60-percent discount on dresses, many customers never returned. Some, with weddings approaching, canceled orders altogether.
The insurance company denied claims. Younker said they told her there was no virus present at the store.
Crispin, 51, had never shopped at the store but had followed the Ebola scare online. She remembers cruising with friends up Tallmadge Avenue, where the store now sits, to the A&W off Tallmadge Circle.
"I wasn't one of the people who jumped on the Amber Vinson hate wagon but I did find out that she asked for a refund and all her bridesmaids went elsewhere," Crispin said. "When I heard that I thought that was pretty classless."
A November letter sent by an attorney representing Vinson said that bridesmaids decided to shop for their dresses elsewhere and wanted a $479.89 refund.
Younker and her husband, who had been in business for 30 years, wanted to close as gracefully as possible. Sales would continue until the end of January, and all existing orders would be filled.
The owners aren't quite sure if they are ready to change their mind, but welcome a miracle.
"The main thing is we would have to relocate," Younker said. "I don't know if it could save us, but I would like to keep doing what I've been doing."
Crispin set a goal of $20,000 for the fundraiser, and said she hopes it will ease the pain of a small business that fell on the worst possible luck.
"(Younker) doesn't see that it's possible," Crispin said. "If it got to the point where she doesn't have to close that would be a beautiful ending to a sad story."

As promised earlier in the semester, the Arts Initiative launched its new website today. Along with the updated website comes a new arts page on the University's main website, with the Arts Initiative "literally at the center," Executive Director of the Arts Initiative and Miller Theatre Melissa Smey said. The new site's development is keeping with Smey's goal of updating the site and addressing student concern about the outdated site expressed in the "Save the Arts Initiative" petition. The petition circulated last November, garnering more than 1,300 signatures, and was overwhelmingly supported by student governing boards and councils. The new advisory board---consisting of 16 students---which was created in response to the petition, gave feedback on the new design before the launch, according to Smey. The new website preserves the branding of the old one while increasing the functionality. The new events calendar introduces filter options, so those looking to purchase tickets through the TIC can choose on- or off-campus events and specify where in the city they're looking for off-campus tickets.more It also allows for three ways to highlight events, according to Lauren Pearson, the Arts Initiative's Associate Director of Programming Administration. Pearson was appointed in January, partially in response to the petition, and partially to fill and expand the role of her predecessor, Chad Miller, who was the . The homepage features up to four promoted events, and other pages feature a sidebar of highlighted events. Finally, the updated calendar will highlight up to 20 events that users can scroll through. In addition to highlighting the Arts Initiative's core programs---including Museum Meetups, which allows students to receive guided tours of certain museums, and Creative Conversations, which brings prominent figures in the New York arts world to campus---the new site also introduces a photo ops section, which will feature student photography of events. These photos will also be featured on the University's page. It also introduces a new forms page, which allows students and outside arts representatives to promote and/or sell tickets to their events more easily, offering a more "concierge service" for those wishing to be featured on the site, as Smey put it. Smey and Pearson emphasize that this is a beta launch and would like feedback from students.

Will Yoga help me keep fit? Although yoga doesn’t involve the obvious cardiovascular workouts of running, swimming or other traditional ‘aerobic’ exercise, it can actually provide a very effective means of keeping fit. Some aspects of yoga involve the holding of strong static poses, and flowing sequences, both of which can raise the heart rate. These are performed while trying to keep the breath steady and even. Thus the health of the heart, lungs and breathing apparatus is enhanced without much of the breathlessness that is commonly associated with keeping fit.
Can Yoga improve my posture? Yoga gives attention to good body alignment in all poses, this helps correct our bad habits. The more practice we do, the more we carry an improved posture ‘off the mat’ and into our everyday lives.

Can I do Yoga during pregnancy? It’s advisable to get the go ahead from your midwife or GP before starting yoga, (especially if you have a history of miscarriage). Generally, during the first trimester, take it easy. If you don’t already have a yoga practice, this is not the time to start. If you already have a yoga practice, stick to very gentle classes and restorative yoga. The rule of thumb during this time is to take it easy and allow for the pregnancy to stabilize. The second and third trimesters are a great time to do yoga i ahead. Adjust postures so that the belly is not restricted or impinged upon in any way: No deep twisting, deep backbends or abdominal strengtheners. Sun Salutations are not advisable unless it is specifically modified to suit the pregnancy. Stick to standing poses and poses that open the pelvic floor and hips and focus on breath awareness. The best way to do yoga during pregnancy is in a specifically designed ‘pregnancy’ yoga class.

Tabernacle Township highlighted in Burlington County. Inset map: Burlington County highlighted in the State of New Jersey.
Tabernacle in the Wilderness Church
Stephen V. Lee, IV (term ends December 31, 2016)[4][5]
0.494 sq mi (1.280 km2) 1.00%
5th of 40 in county[2]
320th of 566 in state
Tabernacle Township is a township in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 6,949[10][11][12] reflecting an decline of 221 (-3.1%) from the 7,170 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 190 (-2.6%) from the 7,360 counted in the 1990 Census.[20]
Tabernacle was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 22, 1901, from portions of Shamong Township, Southampton Township and Woodland Township.[21][22] The township was named for a tabernacle constructed by missionaries David and John Brainerd.[23]
New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Tabernacle Township as its 23rd best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[24] New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Tabernacle Township as its sixth best place to live in its 2010 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[25] In 2009, it was rated the #1 small town by South Jersey Magazine.[26]
The area that is now Tabernacle was inhabited by Lenni Lenape Native Americans. In 1778, John and David Brainerd came to the area and erected a church to convert the local Native Americans to Christianity. The church was called Tabernacle In The Wilderness.[27] In 1803, William Wilkins acquired land from Hosea Moore to build Tabernacle Cemetery, next to the church.[28]
In 1860, Gilbert Knight built the Pepper-Knight House next to the Union Schoolhouse. It was later sold to the Pepper family who turned the property over to the Tabernacle Historic District following Clara Pepper's death in 1987. In the 1880s there were problems at the Tabernacle, so a new church was built on the spot. It was called the Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal Church, which still stands today.[29]
On March 22, 1901, Tabernacle was incorporated as a township by an act of New Jersey State Legislature from portions of Shamong Township, Southampton Township and Woodland Township.[21]
On July 13, 1928, Emilio Carranza (known as the Lindbergh of Mexico) was flying his plane from New York City to Mexico when he crashed in the middle of a storm over Tabernacle. The Carranza Monument was built with funds from Mexican schoolchildren, Hampton Gates Road was renamed Carranza Road for the pilot.[28]
In 1970, Tabernacle's population was 2,103, but by 1980, it had almost tripled to 6,236, reflecting rapid suburbanization of Philadelphia in South Jersey. Around the same time, the population of many other nearby towns boomed. Tabernacle's population reached a high in 1990 at 7,362 inhabitants and has continued to drop gradually. In 2000 there were 7,170 residents in the township and the population dropped to 6,949 in the 2010 Census.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 49.614 square miles (128.501 km2), including 49.120 square miles (127.221 km2) of land and 0.494 square miles (1.280 km2) of water (1.00%).[2][3]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Apple Pie Hill, Bozuretown, Carranza Monument, Eagle, Fairview, Fox Chase, Friendship, Hampton Gate, Harris, Oriental, Paisley, Pine Crest, Sandy Ridge, Sooy Place, South Park, Speedwell and White Horse Station.[30]
The township borders the Burlington county municipalities of Medford Township, Shamong Township, Southampton Township, Washington Township and Woodland Township.[31]
The township is one of 56 South Jersey municipalities that are included within the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve, a protected natural area of unique ecology covering 1,100,000 acres (450,000 ha), that has been classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and established by Congress in 1978 as the nation's first National Reserve.[32] All of the township is included in the state-designated Pinelands Area, which includes portions of Burlington County, along with areas in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean counties.[33]
There were 2,375 households, of which 34.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 72.1% were married couples living together, 7.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.7% were non-families. 13.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 6.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.92 and the average family size was 3.20.[10]
In the township, 24.1% of the population were under the age of 18, 8.1% from 18 to 24, 21.4% from 25 to 44, 35.3% from 45 to 64, and 11.2% who were 65 years of age or older.

Q: how to clear up redis entries periodically? Using a map of hash of my entry to epoch timestamp. Over a day, the map accumulates about 5 million entries and takes up too much memory. 80% of entries are not updated frequently and I want to delete those entries with epoch timestamp updated in last 24 hours. The clean up can happen weekly to avoid the map growing out of bounds over time.
I tried setting TTL on entries but it causes slowness in performance in redis lookups and inserts. I was thinking of maintaining a sorted set by an hour to hashes, but that will take up more space and I am not sure if the value set can be that large to contain millions of hashes. What are some of the better approaches to handle this cleanup?

View Full Version : Short Story Idea (a bit long) but Feedback appreciated!
OK I've done some EDITING... PLEASE READ THE BOTTOM POST for a FAR MORE ABRIDGED version of the longer one in these first two posts. I really really really would greatly appreciate feedback upon AT LEAST the short ABRIDGED VERSION WHICH IS the LAST post down below in this THREAD... thanks!
I wasn’t sure if this would be better for on screen or tv or just a short story, it’s actually part of one huge dream I had with some additions I’ve made, a series of strange ideas that to me seem like a cool neat story but wanted to hear your opinions… it’s rather long so please be patient… am really looking for some feedback and please excuse much of the grammar… much of it is in free style but not in any confusing way. Most of it is thankfully punctuated. I just wrote this all in a span of hours and couldn’t stop. I also know that much of the dialogue is crap but I was just writing anything that came to mind to get the message across… Hope you enjoy it.
A file clerk who does menial office cubicle work for a mass company is a 30 something, unmarried, doesn’t have much going for his life. He’s a good looking guy and very well built, but is very awkward with girls, gets the wrong responses never knows how to be around them (background never explained, suffice to say it’s obvious he seems a little disturbed or socially backwards). Very socially poor and awkward and backward. He has no real friends, or family. He does have a brother whom he visits sometimes in a mental institution, except his brother is a vegetable. He often talks to his brother about how boring his days are, his work life, no career advancement, can’t find anyone but is on the look out while his brother just sits not even looking at him. He frequents a big sports type bar that’s always packed and knows a few of the patrons there, often just goes there every day almost, gets his drinks and goes home. We see him return to his apt after the bar run, watches all kinds of weird programming and movies (nosferatu at 3 in the morning, etc) eating all sorts of junk but very slowly, as if he’s glued to the screen. That amounts to his day.
After work the next day he stays later than his usual work time and almost everyone’s gone from the office. Sam’s finishing some last minute work, he looks at his watch and notices it’s 11. He pulls out the card he picked up yesterday and smiles wanting try out what this joint might be like. He drives down to this new joint which he sees is built very fancily off a major street corner. It’s a classy high priced joint but it’s obvious so long as you can pay the cover (hundreds of dollars) its easy to get in. There’s a huge line to get in and people are dressed up looking good, some looking stupid… it was like one of those typical big opening joints in Hollywood which is happening in his town which is weird cuz nothing big usually happens in his town. Plus some of the people he’s seen in this town are people he’s never seen before. He gets in line, gets to the front, and the bouncer looks him up and down with squinted examining careful eyes, the other bouncer quickly pops over to him says “well… the cover?” Sam forks it out and walks in notices the setup’s basically like a grand nightclub… not really his type of joint. He actually hates night clubs, hates dancing hates everything about it, drinks too expensive, the works. He sees a great thing though, it’s a major one floor club with 3 massive surrounding bars, and a full party bar upstairs. He’s stoked cuz at least this place has more bar type stuff than most other clubs. He sits down at the main table on a stool and has a few. He looks on at the dance floor seeing it totally crowded for a few minutes but then a huge open space circle forms around this one girl… a girl he drops his drink for… someone so absolutely stunning (we’re talking more than mary jane) who dances elegantly and not any sort of typical club style skank crap. People just woo her on and cheer her on but are totally amazed at not only how gorgeous but how unique and different her style of dance is… it’s hard to describe, it’s like this chick wasn’t supposed to be here and was a class apart. She catches Sam staring at her and she smiles back. Sam with his drink dropped but his beer mug hand still cupping thin air snaps and turns back to the tender to order another drink hoping to dear god the girl didn’t see him but it’s obvious she did. He looks back over his shoulder like an idiot and sees she’s off the dance floor and is mildly relieved thinking she’s gone but he’s lightly tapped on the shoulder and he almost freezes and is completely stiff in movement. It’s her, she sits down next on a stool next to him and it’s obvious some others around them are staring at her and seeing how gorgeous she is, but each is almost too intimidated or scared to chat her up. She tries to casually talk to him but with no real success as he’s so poor at talking in general he has no idea what to say (worse than woody allen caricature here, he just stays still, dumbfounded with a bunch of uuhs, yeahs, and well uh huhs). She flirts with him a little more trying to break the ice and he finally breaks with a genuine relaxed slight smile. They try to talk a little more but he completely effs things up, not knowing what to say but she doesn’t mind, kinda finds it cute. She wants to hang out with him more but he kinda just gets up and starts to leave, she tries to shout out to him come back tomorrow and he barely hears it but denies hearing it.
Ok I realize I kind have blabbered on and I haven’t gotten to the important parts yet. Basically after realizing he screwed things up with such an amazing gal, he can’t focus at work and decides to head back later the next night to the same place, although this time the bouncers allow him in for free and he’s totally confused as to why but they say, cuz the gal inside pulled a few strings. He sees the gal again inside and she tells him how glad she is he came back and that she’s quite popular with the owners (she actually reveals mid convo that she is part owner of the place itself and she just moved). They start to kind of get along although really slowly and awkwardly, all due to him. He’s afraid to ask her out or ask her number and yet she for some reason won’t give it straight up even though she’s so interested in him obviously. This keeps going on, meeting at the joint, with even a little dancing this time although he’s terrible, he feels like he’s finally opening up, he’s totally going head over heels for this girl and she just keeps flirting with him more and more and tries to get to know him. These sorts of meetings at the bar keep on going on and he’s totally happy with it, in fact he’s mad about this girl and can’t stop thinking about her and he’s just so stupid that he’s never asked for her number, not even thinking about the fact that she never offered in the first place. He feels so liberated, as in as if his life has meaning, he’s gone so over the top with feelings for this gal without even seeing she may not feel anywhere near as strongly but he doesn’t care, he’s actually talking, communicating for once genuinely and connecting with someone more or less every time he meets her at the club. [This part I haven’t fully fleshed out, remember these are all just several ideas right now.] But it gets to a point that out of his pure desolation, his lonely, meaningless existence, he feels he can liberate himself from his life, achieve a sense of self THROUGH this girl rather than for himself, he makes the mistake of trying to make positive changes in his life FOR this girl and feel SHE is the key to his existence and meaning and not seeing that meaning comes from within, not anyone else and that progress comes from within and liberation is for ONE’s self, not for someone else, that’s the huge mistake he makes but he continues doing this, failing to respect himself as a result, feeling he can achieve some meaning through someone else which is NOT how he should go about seeking meaning in his life, almost devoting himself to her and yeah, to the point of obsessing over her.
Then one night he goes to the bar all excitedly especially cuz this time, after 2 weeks, he’s gonna ask for this gal’s number, as he gets in, he meets her, again they start talking and he’s having a blast just being with her… She says she wants to dance for a little but he really needs a drink so he tells her to go by herself. She’s kind of annoyed but not angry and goes off and he realizes how stupid he’s being, yet he still goes for the drink and starts watching her do her moves solo with others around her. What feels like staring at stark beauty for hours which is really only a matter of a few minutes is broken as his attention snaps as a thudding clasp on his back startles him totally. He swings his stool around to see it’s the older beggar poor dude he bought a drink for and he’s like “WTF? How the hell did you manage to get in here, what are you doing in here? Who are u exactly?” The poor guy simply smiles and nods/***** his head in the direction over to where Sam’s girl is dancing and says “you’re not doing too bad yourself are yah buddy…” Sam turns to see and then just starts blabbering, opening up big time, some of it very awkward, disturbing as well but openly honest… it’s clear he’s a few marbles short “oh her, well I mean we’re not really you know, it’s, well I don’t know what to call it. But she makes me feel great, completely amazing. I have a sense of purpose, HER. I can say I love her even though I barely know her. I can seek meaning in my life through her, she has that key. I’ve never felt a sense of self, She’s the person who can give me that self. I can make the changes I’ve wanted to FOR her.” The guy says “you’ve totally fallen hook line and sinker for her haven’t you… well I guess this’ll be interesting… although you hardly even know her? Also, the way you’re talking about her as if she’s the key to everything… sounds a little crazy if you ask me given you hardly know the gal… I’d be a bit careful.” Sam doesn’t care and tracks back on to finding out who the hell this poor guy is in the first place. The guy still doesn’t answer and Sam gets angry and grabs the poor guy by the collar slightly roughing him up, the bouncers don’t notice and the tender notices is about to call the bouncers… The poor guy remarks at how surprised that this guy has a bit of a temper tantrum, an anger spark… interesting stuff but then he looks in the direction of the stage and tells Sam he might want to actually start watching over his gal. Sam turns around swiftly and sees the gal is gone from the stage, he starts looking above and around the crowd, turning at every point to see where she might have gone. He then sees her to the far back right of the stage walking to a part of the back wall of the club. She’s there crying out for Sam and yelling at him HELP, PLEAASE and then vanishes as dry ice shoots out from the vents near by and envelope her. He can’t see her. He starts freaking out whispering to himself loudly where the hell did she go. He then turns around to shout it out to the poor guy but even that guy is gone from his sights. He doesn’t care though, he pushes his way through the crowd and stage and forces himself to the back part of the club where she disappeared. He comes up against a black wall. Nothing… he can’t see her to his left or right or anywhere, he starts pressing against the wall, punching against it angrily wondering WTF did she go and what is going on? A few bouncers see his behavior and start moving through the crowd to get to him so he can be escorted. He sees them and starts pounding even harder at different parts of the wall, then moves a little to the left and lands a hard right kick in sheer frustration half expecting the wall to give way or part of it to be damaged. Much to his amazement as his foot strikes, that part of the wall gives way like a door. Glancing inside all he can he is pure blackness and he can hear, almost feel this silence so strong and penetrating, his ears start ringing even with the loud club and lounge fusion music in the club. Seeing the bouncers are just a few feet away from him, he runs in not knowing what the hell this is all about, question after question. As he runs in, he’s surrounded in pure blackness, he has no idea where to move so he keeps running straight not looking behind him, he’s almost under complete sensory deprivation… no sense of sight, smell, sound nothing.. He finds as he’s moving in it’s much harder for him to breathe and he starts gasping for air as he’s tired from running so fast and far in. He drops to his knees grasping his neck, choking on no air. He’s then violently lifted by a massive flash gust of powerful wind. He flies upward what seems to be several feet off the black floor still surrounded in total darkness. Before he has any time to think, emote or even react with the exception of sheer fear, he’s smashed against some surface which knocks him out cold, unconscious.
Opening his eyes slowly, feeling very groggy, his back aching from the back smash against what he presumes to be some wall. He sees he’s lying on a small hill of crimson tall grass peppered with auburn/orange fire blade tips. He stands up slowly to see an environment so unlike anything he’s ever seen before in his life. He’s standing on the tallest of several similar mounds and hills of crimson grass but that’s not all that surrounds him. He’s in a huge massive expanse, a whole separate world, a place so strange. Yellow blazed trees with royal blue birch shaped leaves and branches appear far down on his left. Open fields with strange massive landmarks and huge stone like designs and rock formations off in the distance ahead of him. Up far ahead, he even sees mountains and amongst them 3 prominent silver volcanoes blowing their thick black smoke… mixed with the crimson colored fields to the right of them he sees the whiteness of ice trees and snow… What surrounds him is almost a clashed amalgam of contrasting separate worlds smashed together all with such radically differing natural environments. He’s absolutely perplexed, not knowing what the hell to do or where to go or what this is all about. Why is he here, what the hell kind of place is this? Every question opens a pandora’s box of more questions. He looks around him trying to get a grip but is not given a chance. The ground beneath him starts to shake, crumble and cracks start forming, an almost fault like crack formation forms right around him, and multiple fractures on the mound he’s form. He starts running down the side of the mound trying to get to a more solid place or what seems to be safer. He slides downhill, strangely not feeling any bit of friction against him, almost as if it were a water or ice slide. But the cracks start gaining on him, he makes it however and runs up further between multiple hills/mounds in these valley like pockets between them. He shouts out if anyone else can hear him, the only emerging noises are from the surrounding environments in the vast expanse around him but he can’t hear anyone or anything living. He shouts out what the hell is going on? He hears a faint reply of “I might have a few answers.” He turns in the direction of the voice which came from the top of another hill several meters from where he is. He sees a man at the top, with a cane and a small hood. Racing up as fast as he can towards the top of the hill to reach the man, he struggles cuz of his sheer exhaustion. He finally gets to the man and to his astonishment it’s the poor beggar he first met in the bar he always frequented. Trying to demand answers for what the hell is going on, accusing of him being behind whatever the hell all this is and getting him stuck here, he also wants to badly hurt this man cuz ever since he met him, all this bizarre stuff has happened, the fantastic girl, this new joint, how he got in and of course this entire different place he’s in…his mind comes back to the girl… “WHERE IS SHE!! IS SHE HERE? Start answering some of my questions dammit!” And he starts moving in on poor guy [now dressed up in somewhat better clothing, a cross between a 1800s style vertical striped pants with a large sweat/hoodie, very peculiar looking]..
The poor guy counters telling him “If ya hurt me or if anything happens to me, you’ll be all alone here yourself… and so will she… with no one to help her, no one to go find her…”
Sam barely able to stop himself from badly roughing this guy up, letting him know he’d do anything for her and that somehow his head is wrapped around this warped idea that she carries all the answers he seeks for meaning, for actually LIVING his life. He’ll make any change for her and to serve her, he’ll do anything with his own life as he feels so strongly connected to her despite barely knowing her, not even knowing her name, number, nothing about her, he’s completely obsessed with this girl. The poor guy tells him both he and Sam are about to become pretty thick pals through this all, he’ll help him. Sam tells him to **** you and has no idea as to who this guy is, his motives, what he is, what this place is… too much for his mind almost to fathom so he focuses on trying to “Save” the girl… his girl… whom he believes somehow is his key to life.
This part of the story I haven’t developed really at all. Basically this entire part which forms a major part of the story are a series of puzzles, mini-adventures, challenges he has to overcome against different “opponents.” He does find other creatures and beings in this fantastical world, some of which help and some who try to hurt him. As he completes each puzzle or challenge, many of which are life threatening (I have some ideas for an entire football field being a partial landmine while he has to solve several riddles to get to the next safety step/stone among a few others), the poor guy magically sort of appears or is always there, as a sort of GUIDE to help him sort out what he’s learned at each puzzle or challenge. It’s nothing meant to be preachy or anything, just slight subtle but VERY important lessons he’s supposed to have learned about himself, about life and in general but the problem is… SAM NEVER GETS THEM… He keeps ignoring each message, each useful bit of info that may seem very cryptic and useless initially but holds profound meaning if thought about. He only cares about the direct result, the direct info that is passed over to him at each puzzle and adventure which gives him clues and diff info about where his girl might be, how to get to her or even directly help her life. Along his path he’s reminded of her stunning beauty by these ethereal, 3-D images of her that appear along various locations he’s been to, different hallways, pasture-sides, all of which appear mid way between his efforts to get to her so he can carry on… not learning the basic idea that changes should be for oneself and for one within, NOT for to satisfy another. [These lessons and stuff I’ll have to hammer out a lot more obviously]
After finally completing all these various challenges, he’s beaten, worn down, hurt, exhausted as hell and can barely move on but his final destination is a door to this sort of solitary, desolate mushroom shaped igloo built of shining golden snow and thick fire colored ice, he enters and inside is just a single large room. His guide friend has no left him, vanished without any passing remarks or anything, but he doesn’t care in the least… He walks in and sees an almost like a huge play room, the entire room, walls, floor, ceiling, everything is made of large padded, thick safety tiles, each of which is the size of two pillows…. All joined together. The color of the entire room and tiles are dark turquoise with toxic bright green blotches “spilt and thrown” all over. In the center of the room he sees a large rectangular chunk of the floor removed, or cut away, much like a burial inlay/indent for a coffin to be lowered except this is much more shallow. It’s almost like a bed made inside the floor which he can’t even be bothered about cuz of how tired he is and how badly he wants to see HER and get the hell out of this place… He doesn’t care anymore about what this was all meant to be, forgetting all of his questions and more importantly each lesson he’s learned along the way. He sees a large mirror on the wall front and center beyond the “indented bed.” From it this sort of mystical energetic glow emerges and right there stands his girl… his girl, dressed and looking as stunning as ever, her hair just slightly blowing back. She looks so real but he looks carefully and sees it’s actually just an image of her, she’s ever so slightly transluscent/transparent almost radiantly angelic in appearance. He is so absorbed by her but at the same knows something’s up, this isn’t her in full. She smiles at him welcoming him coming this far along. He asks her what this place is all about? What is it? Where is she or who is she really? Did she have any part in any of this, in dragging him here?
She hardly answers any of them, only relaying that he must sort that out himself, and she herself must leave and forever depart. She tells him to rest, as he’s deserved that much. She lets him know directly that all of what he’s been through, all of what he’s done to get here has been for the wrong reason, for her and not for himself, the changes, the sacrifices he’s made both internally, the determination to seek answers for a modicum of self-realization, liberation and meaning for his life should be THROUGH HIMSELF, FOR himself, not for anyone else… no one can achieve a sense of purpose or meaning THROUGH someone else, it has to come from within, an internal search, and the fact that he felt he could achieve this all through her, serving her, what he deemed as “LOVING” her which was more of an obsession, a desire for something else. He failed to see all along that all his actions here in this labyrinth like world were NOT in the name of love, or not dedicated towards real true love for her… how could he when he hardly knew who she was or what she was? He still doesn’t even know what this is all about or who she is or who this poor guy who eventually became his nuisance of a guide along the way or whatever the hell all of this is about. She tells him she can’t stay and has to leave, and thanks him for all the distance he’s traveled to get to her here but he should’ve left any time he wanted… he was not bound to this world by any means except by himself… he was constrained by himself and his one track obsessive mind, and she herself shares nothing with him or for him. He’s in desperation after this, not believing what he’s hearing at all and almost begging of her to stop saying all of what she is saying… that all of what this is, all of what he’s done through this entire life threatening journey has been for nil. He reminds her of their conversations they had and she laughs at him but not cruelly, just out of sheer pity clarifying that he felt that those conversations earned him the right to love her? That those brief muddled, confused talks which didn’t amount to much, the simple flirting meant love between the two? She mentions how sad it is for him to think that, to assume that, she ends with an “I pity you…” and with a somewhat caring smile turns and walks back to the mirror, fuses with it and the only reflective image remaining is of her 2-D face plastered on the mirror smiling at him the same way she did the first time.
He drops to his knees at this devastating revelation given to him. He can’t believe how far he’s been strung along, duped with no hope of any reciprocation or a chance at his own reply. All those hints and lessons he learned earlier on (which I will flesh out, suffice to say), suffice to say were all about changing from within for one’s self, improvement not for others, but for yourself to realize the value of changes you make, that is respect for yourself… NOT for someone else, not to serve someone else… there was a great philosopher who once stated that women COULD NOT and should NEVER achieve meaning and self liberation to their lives THROUGH man unless they wish to pay the ultimate price and the entire premise of this story contains this emblem of information but turned on its head obviously (the man this time seeking self realization through his so called “love” for another woman). He also realizes how colossally stupid and blind he’s been in his so called love which was nothing more than sheer physical obsession and a desire for something more, be it anything. In this he falls, crying out in anger but also laughing… the laughter at the complete and utter doomed irony of his situation… the sheer explosive expression of two extremes of emotion, of both fury and laughter overwhelms him as he’s on his knees, he rolls over and falls inside the indented laying area “carved” out of the floor and lies, with the same multitude of expressions and emotion that would confuse anyone else upon trying to see what he’s genuinely feeling. As he lies, confined in this igloo like prison, caged, we eventually find out and see a flash cut multiple times back and forth between him lying down in this turquoise room to finally focusing and staying on him lying in the exact same position only this time wearing a tightened straight jacket, on a bare off white cream colored tiled floor in the middle of a hallway with characteristic small claustrophobic side walls.
As he still rages on with his full expression of a gamut of feelings and utter confusion, rage, laughter at the humor, irony and sadness of it all, he violently writhes around on the ground, shaking about not able to control himself. We hear two voices in the background and their shadows run down the hall yelling “jesus this guy appears in a new place every day here, how the hell does he manage to get out of his cell??” We see their officers, wardens, guards at this institution. They drag him back slowly through the hallways and back to his cell and we understand that Sam basically ends up in the same institution which he visits his brother at which brings into question, was he file clerk at all, or even working while actually visiting his brother. We finally see that the entire fantastical world, all the puzzles, games and adventures and the guide character are all figments and imaginary creations of Sam in his own head, perhaps his own mental fantasy gone awry, crazy for him to become completely psychotically obsessed over this girl… but was the girl real? A few days later, Sam does get a visitor whom he doesn’t recognize cuz of just how fried his mind is, and it turns out to be the girl… it’s obvious the girl sees him out of pity for him and feels partially guilty at whatever she might have done to cause his state. She tries to explain to him every time she visits that she didn’t mean to lead him on, that she was just flirting with him at the club and wanted to get to know him but didn’t want things to become so immediately serious. She even accuses him of acting so bizarrely possessive around her at the club [which he probably was but we never see cuz in his own warped mind, we’re seeing what Sam sees and believes] and he was always so strange to her, she could tell he was unbalanced and wanted to stay away from him, even refusing to see him or meet him at the club whenever he dropped by which was every night almost. She didn’t want to get to know him any further cuz how bizarre and strange he was every time they met, but she had no idea he was this obsessed and infatuated with her that it drove him completely nuts so she feels partially responsible. She mentions lastly that she had no idea he was trying to commit suicide in order to see her, right outside or whatever the hell he was trying to do by smashing himself into the walls of the club one night that the bouncers had to drag him out and call the police cuz of all the commotion he was causing… it was then he was tossed into the loony bin. She then leaves while Sam is simply on his visiting chair staring blankly off to the walls obviously completely unresponsive to his visitor or her words… he’s fubared.
The entire maze, world, the place, his adventures and puzzles were just obsessive mind games he was seeing in his head, his own internal attempts to become someone better for her. He was so “in love” with this girl and she obviously felt none of that back and this drove him mad, completely psycho… the entire fantastical world was simply a metaphor for all his attempts to show her how much he wanted to be with her, hoping that she would become his. I think we’ve all been in that situation where we’ve become infatuated or liked someone strongly that it takes so long for us to get over them, and we keep stupidly hoping that they’ll just wake up and see how the right person has been right in front of them all along and they never do… our lives become rollercoasters of grief, anger, denial at how he/she could not realize how good we were for them despite if they were our best friends, or people we hardly knew… we’d try to make changes, improvements in ourselves to see if they’d notice us or see us as better not seeing that any true genuine improvements that need to be made should be for one’s self and come from within, not for someone else. This story takes it one level up, much more to the extreme in which someone goes so far that he can’t come back, and his mind is lost within a sea of its own creations in search for an actual meaning to his life, liberation from his routine boredom, when his search were all for the wrong reasons despite noble intentions.
I don’t know if the story ideas make much sense or if the multiple messages do but I thought they did and seemed kind of a neat story, of course loads needs to be fleshed out and improved of course but I just typed this all in a matter of a few hours, despite the fact that I’ve had this dream several months ago just once and haven’t forgotten about it since… it’s been kind of looming in my head. Sorry if it was such a long read but I hope enjoyed some of it, any and all feedback would be welcome! Hell I’d love if you could contribute as well.
I say thats more than 'a bit long' :mad:
... Still reading anyway.
I agree.. WHOA :eek:
That doesn't look like an idea
it looks like a bloody short story itself.
yeah uh hehe, well i just kept writing and writing... i realize that my topic title is slightly misleading but any feedback on the story would be deeply appreciated
can't wait to hear your feedback mentok and to whoever else reads this... it will mean a great deal
Sam, a handsome yet useless, boring, socially backward and very awkward file clerk, has a dead end career, nothing going for him in life. He doesn’t hate his job, he’s just so bored with the routine and he does it like a robot. He frequents his favorite small town bar that’s big with the locals cuz of the sports games shown and one night he sees trouble with this older poor guy dressed in grungy clothing trying to order a drink he has no money for. Sam buys it for him and the two start talking and actually get along quite well, Sam’s first actual conversation with someone in years. Suddenly the poor guy leaves without Sam noticing (watching TV briefly as fans erupt as a team scores a homerun), Sam notices the guy’s totally gone and chases after him to see where he is. He runs down different blocks and can’t find the guy at all, then suddenly bumps into him… the poor guy has no idea who Sam is despite the fact they just talked, the poor guy freaks out and runs away. Sam notices the guy dropped a card for a new club joint in town. He decides to check it out although he hates clubs, the bar is great but he sees the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen down there and the girl catches him staring at her and is interested in him as well. She tries talking to him but Sam really screws things up but she doesn’t mind… she never gives him her number but Sam comes for the next several weeks just to see her. Sam thinks he’s in love, he’s in head over his heels over this girl, but it’s not love… it’s complete obsession, Sam’s a little unbalanced and this passion for his girl totally consumes him… he’ll do anything to better/improve himself just for her, to serve her because he believes that this is the key of meaning to his life/existence (not dangerous psycho violent obsessive, but kind of bordering on that, he’s just too into her). He doesn’t realize that any improvements he wants to make in life should be of his own steam FOR himself, he shouldn’t try to attain MEANING through someone else. One night, he does see her at the club but she’s in trouble, and vanishes in the thick dry ice enveloping her against the back wall. He runs to the back wall noticing she’s nowhere around and starts smashing against the walls hard. The bouncers see him and are coming to throw him out but Sam smashes the wall hard again and it gives way to this pitch-black darkness he’s eventually enveloped in. He runs “inside the wall” only to be knocked out and awakened in this fantastical world. What surrounds him is almost a clashed amalgam of contrasting separate worlds smashed together all with such radically differing natural environments from crimson tall red grass hills to silver volcanoes laden with molten royal blue ash. He sees the poor guy here as well “expecting him.” And has no idea what this place is or what this is about, why he is here, who this poor guy is… but he’s drawn to his obsession to find his girl, the one whom he feels carries his key to self-understanding, WORTH, liberation and meaning. He has to overcome Life threatening puzzles, mini-adventures, conundrums of all sorts from mine fields to outwitting smarter opponents (creatures of this world) in mazes and riddles. The poor guy acts as his guide and so called friend to the world, to help him learn the lessons from each puzzle, but Sam ignores them, just hell bent on his obsessive to desire to save his girl, not realizing the cost its having on his own life and sanity. He finally reaches his destination and the girl only to find out the girl is just an image, an illusion who doesn’t love him, who doesn’t feel anything for him and she vanishes. Sam realizes the stupidity of mistakes… he was not bound by this world and could have left any time. His blind obsession to seek MEANING in his life THROUGH someone else (rather than improvement for one’s self and meaning from WITHIN) leads him to want and be with something that does not reciprocate. One should NOT feel they become worth something when another recognizes or judges them on that… self worth comes from WITHIN FOR one’s self… for a TRUE ideal… not for a mistaken desire such as his obsession. After such exhaustion and life threatening adventure, his efforts to “save” this girl… to bring some meaning to his lonely existence was for nil because he did this all for the WRONG reasons, that one should realize self worth from within, not through someone else, or to serve someone else… liberation cannot be sought through another but from within, and he pays with his sanity. He goes completely mad, insane, with psychotic rage but a sharp loud laughter humoring at the inherent irony of his situation. We see him lying down in his final place in the world gone completely mad but we find out that he’s lying in the exact same position in the REAL world in an insane asylum, wrapped up in a straight jacket before the wardens drag him back to his cell. The entire world was a metaphor, a twisted mind vision in his head for his efforts to improve himself for this girl to fall in love with him, so that he could serve her and feel he could achieve meaning through that alone. The girl visits him in the asylum [she does exist, but we see the moment she’s in trouble back in the club marks the beginning of Sam’s story in HIS mind…not of reality] out of guilt that she somehow must have driven him to his current mental state despite the fact we find out her telling a vegetable-Sam that she didn’t want to see him any more at the club after how strange he started acting later on around her… he was getting so possessive and scary. In conclusion it is this bit of information that most likely [it’s open ended] triggered Sam to have this fantastical world and vision in his own head established, playing out all the scenarios and puzzles to save his girl and show her she should be with him cuz of all he would do only to LOSE himself in his own mind and see she never would have loved him back despite his greatest efforts… thus he goes insane.
I hope it makes some sense… and it’s a FAR FAR more abridged version of the much longer read below which I would also love feedback on, but feedback on the above abridged version alone would be great…thanks
please could someone at least read the ABRIDGED VERSION that I wrote up which is RIGHT ABOVE this post, forget the long long version and please if someone could provide their feedback or some of their thoughts it would be greatly appreciated
I like your idea Echo, it sounds like it would make a great story.
Really develop Sam's fantasy world...make it something as vast as Tolkein's Middle Earth. I'd really go over the top creating this world, there is nothing more challenging, and at the same time satisfying to an author than to not just create characters and stories...but an entire world.
I like the idea of leaving it open ended. Personally, I might establish from the very beginning that Sam may just be nuts and institutionalized... perhaps throughout the story have flashes into the 'real world'...have a storyline going on in the 'real world', in the asylum...but the old homeless man who guides him continues to pull him back into the 'fantasy world'...But throughout the story use various hints that go either way. I'm not sure if you read The Ultimates, but I really like what they did with Thor...he could either be a total nutjob whose possibly a mutant...or he could actually be the Norse God and son of Odin. There are clues that could suggest either. I think that would be a good way to go.
I dunno, just my two cents...like I said, it sounds great. Maybe once you finish it you could email it to me?

“civilizing”eper.
China’s Ministry of Land and Resources haThe findings are the culmination of a secret 7-year, $44 million survey project, which began in 1999. More than 1,000 researchers were divided into 24 separate groups and fanned out across the Qinghai-Tibet plateau to geologically map the entire Tibetan region. Their findings have lea, copper, borax, and iron. “Lack of resources has been a bottleneck for the economy,” , had once complained in his statements. The discoveries in Tibet “.”
Tibet is now said to hold as much as 40 million tons of copper — one third of China’s total, 40 million tons of lead and zinc, and more than a billion tons of high-grade iron. Among the Tibet discoveries is China’s first substantial rich-iron supply. A seam called Nyixung, is alone expected to contain as much as 500 million tons. That’s enough to reduce Chinese iron import by 20 per cent. The new copper reserves are no less substantial. A 250-mile seam of the metal has been found along Tibet’s environmentally sensitive Yarlung Tsangpo Gorge. One mine there, called Yulong, already described as the second-largest reserve in China, is now estimated to hold as much as 18 million tons, according to the government news site Xinhua and could soon become the largest copper mine in the country, helping to feed China’s increasing demand of the metal used for electrical wiring and power generation. China, which until now has imported much of its copper from Chile, is estimated to hold 5.6 per cent of the world’s copper and is its seventh largest producer.
In fact, an official web site of China has itself disclosed that “Once-quiet, northern Tibet has become a scene of bustle and excitement since a number of inland enterprise marched into the region in response to the government call for speeding up the development of western China. Northern Tibet has more than 200 mining areas with 28 kinds of mineral ores, and is rich in oil and hot springs.”
The China National Star Petroleum have recently dug up the first oil well in the Lunpola Basin, which has a proven oil reserve of three million tons. This reserve is in addition to the over one million tons of crude oil that Amdo’s oil fields produce per year. Further, the Chinese have opened two alluvial gold mines in Nagqu and built a gem processing plant in Lhasa. Soinam Dorje, an official of the Nagqu Prefecture, has welcomed inland and foreign investors to exploit the gold, oil and antimony resources on the plateau of northern Tibet. This also goes far to explain the need to invest in infrastructure all over Tibet. Apart from its rich mineral wealth, Tibet has many other resources that may provide China the edge in its race to emerge as the world’s richest economy.
The volume of timber that China has taken away from Tibet itself far exceeds the amount that it has spent to build the infrastructural facilities in Tibet. In 1949, Tibet’s ancient forests covered 221,800 sq km. By 1985 they stood at 134,000 sq km — ’s low-lying south-t in the region’s moist south to 4,300 mt in the semi-dry north. Tibet’s t/ha, but U-Tsang’s old growth areas reach 2,300 cubic mt/ha — the world’s highest stock density for conifersl 1985 totaled 2,442 million cubic mt, or 40 per cent of the 1949 forest stock, worth $54 billion.
Deforestation is a major source of employment in Tibet: in the Kongpo area of the TAR alone, over 20,000 Chinese soldiers and Tibetan prisoners are involved in tree felling and transportation of timber. In 1949, Ngapa, in Amdo, had 2.20 million hectares of land under forest cover. Its timber reserve then stood at 340 million cubic mt. In the 1980s, it was reduced to 1.17 million hectares, with a timber reserve of only 180 million cubic mt. Similarly, during 30 years, till 1985 China exploited 6.44 million cubic mt of timber from Kanlho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. As new roads increasingly penetrate remote areas of Tibet, China is finding new excuses to increase the rate of deforestation in the region.
China’s primary objective of constructing roads in Tibet is to deploy occupying forces like the People’s Liberation Army, along with defence materials, and immigration of Chinese, as well as to exploit the natural resources of Tibet, which are transported primarily to China. Roads may run through most Tibetan villages, but a public transport system is almost non-existent in the majority of rural Tibet. The Chinese modern means of transport do not benefit the majority of Tibetans. Tibetans in most places continue to use horses, mules, yaks, donkeys and sheep as modes of transportation. Thus, the Chinese claim of investing heavily in “civilizing” the Tibetans is one of the most shameless lies that one can perpetuate.
The Tibetan plateau gives birth to some of the longest rivers of the world; The Machu (Huang Ho, or Yellow River), the Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), the Drichu (Yangtze), and the Senge Khabab (Indus). Tibet also has over 2,000 natural lakes spread over a combined area of more than 35,000 sq km, some of which are sacred and play a special role in local culture. Steep slopes and the abundant water of these rivers and lakes make them extremely valuable as sources of hydroelectric power. Tibet has an exploitable hydropower potential of 250,000 megawatts, the highest of any country in the world and the TAR alone has a potential of 200,000 megawatts. China has built some large hydroelectricity projects all over Tibet. These projects are designed to tap Tibet’s hydro potential
While the Tibetans are displaced from their homes and lands, tens of thousands of Chinese workers are brought up from China to construct and maintain these dams. Take the case of the Yamdrok Yutso hydropower project. The Chinese claim that this project will greatly benefit the Tibetans. The Tibetan people in general, particularly the late Panchen Lama and Ngapo Ngawang Jigme, opposed and effectively delayed its construction for several years. The Chinese, nevertheless, went ahead with the construction and with the help of more than 1,500-strong PLA troops are guarding the construction area and no civilians are allowed near it. But the environmental, human and cultural toll of these hydroelectricity projects will have to be borne by the Tibetans. Tibet also possesses high solar energy potential per unit only after the Sahara, an estimated annual average of 200 kilocalorie/cm, as well as significant geothermal resources. Despite such abundant potential from small, environmentally-benign sources, the Chinese have built huge dams, such as Longyang Xia, and are continuing to do so, such as the hydropower station at Yamdrok Yutso. Tibet is made to play a pivotal role in fulfilling the huge demand for power in China at the cost of its own helpless, poor natives.
Furthermore, Tibet has been made a hub of nuclear facilities. This reduces the radioactive risks that China could suffer if an accident takes place in such installations. Again, since such facilities are located in a colonized region, the Chinese authorities do not take the necessary precautions that are mandatory for such facilities. Official Chinese pronouncements have confirmed the existence in Tibet of the biggest uranium reserves in the world. Apart from Amdo, since 1976 uranium has been mined and processed in the Thewo and Zorge regions of Kham also. According to reports, the uranium mining and processing in Tibet is done with unforgivable callousness. The Ninth Academy, China’s’u-based organization:
“Waste s… … During the a roughshod and haphazard manner. Nuclear waste from the academy would have taken a variety of forms — liquid slurry, as well as solid and gaseous waste. Liquid or solid waste would have been in adjacent land or water sites.”
Given the fact that underground water supplies in Amdo have been diminishing at a rapid rate and usable underground water is very limited, the radioactive contamination of groundwater is of great concern in the region. Many local Tibetans have died after drinking contaminated water near a uranium mine in Ngapa, Amdo. They have also reported deformed birth of humans and animals.
The existence of Chinese nuclear bases and nuclear weapon manufacturing centres in Tibet has been reported from time to time. Cor the Ninth Academy, a secret organization involved in China’s nuclear programme which is also a high security military weapons plant, is based at Dhashu (Chinese: Haiyan) in the Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefectured-70s. It seIt also assembled components of nuclear weapons. Several missile bases are located to the south of Lake Kokonor in Amdo, and Nagchukha. Another nuclear missile site in Tibet is located at Delingha, about 200 km south-east of Larger Tsaidam. It also houses DF-4s, and is the missile regimental headquarters for Amdo, containing four associated launch sites. It has been reported a number of times that China has carried out cs of Tibet. There are also reports that Cradiation levels on the human population.
Not only is its economy, China’s military might too is growing because of its colonization of Tibet.
– Partha Gangopadhyay
[Quote from Nuclear Tibet, Washington, DC, 1993, p.18]
June 2, 2008 at 2:11 pm (Partha Gangopadhyay, Politics)
If material progress is used as the only benchmark to justify Chinese occupation of Tibet then the British perhaps had every reason to rule India for one more century for all that they have done for this country’s infrastructure development in addition to the introduction of modern education and modern governance. In fact, the imperialist have always defended their action by showcasingthey ruled. The imperialists have, with varying degrees of success, always claimed to have rescued the colonized from the demonic rule in the past.
In that sense, the Chinese treatment of Tibet is no different from any other imperialist regime that the world has seen. Though some credit must be given to China for all that it has done to modernize Tibet, the political and cultural subjugation that common Tibetans face under the Chinese regime and the rampant economic exploitation of Tibet by China betrays its imperialist intentions.
In late 1992, China announced the opening of Tibet’s economy to ‘foreign investments’. In reality, that was a subterfuge to facilitate widespread Chinese settlement in Tibet.
In fact, in a statement to the Legal Inquiry Committee of International Commission of Jurists, way back in August 1959, the Dalai Lama said that in 1955 he had heard an important Chinese official mentioning to the Panchen Lama, “Tibet was a big country and unoccupied and that China had a big population which can be settled there”. There is clear indication of the policy of population transfer in Mao Zedong’s 1952 statement: “Tibet covers a large area but is thinly populated. n”.observed: es”.
The fact that this demographic ploy is a part of the Chinese policy to suppress Tibet can be understood from the incentive the Chinese government provides to the settlers in Tibet. In fact all hthat China claims to have built in Tibet are all part of an enormously expensive plan to provide for the Chinese in Tibet. To encourage Chinese population to settle in Tibet other costly subsidies lik are provided to them.
Annual wages for Chinese personnel are 87 per cent higher in Tibet than in China. The longer they stay in Tibet, the higher the benefits. Vacations for Chinese personnel in Tibet are far longer than those in China. For every 18 months of work in Tibet, they receive a three-month leave back to China, and all the expenses are paid by their Government.
The Chinese entrepreneurs receive special tax exemptions and loans at low-rate interest in Tibet, whereas for Tibetans to start an enterprise in their own homeland is extremely difficult. In Kham and Amdo, most of the fertile lands in the valleys have been given to Chinese settlers, driving the Tibetans to barren lands. Almost all key administrative positions in Tibet are held by the Chinese. Furthermore, Chinese settlers are given preference over Tibetans in jobs created by forestry and mineral exploitation in Tibet.

Dream Car Talks with Lowell Paddock and Marcel Schmid
Marcel Schmidwill give a talk titled "From the Turbo-Wing to the Flatscreen."
Currently working on a project on acceleration in car design, Professor Schmid will begin by looking at mass motorization in the 1950s when cars became much faster, inspiring many to believe in a future of endless acceleration. This dream affected external car design: cars in the 50s grew wings and propellers (turbine-styling), emulating airplanes and space rockets. Professor Schmid will argue that we are now, again, on the threshold of a new age of speed.
Registration is required for these back-to-back talks.
Adults: $8 | Members free
Talk and DRIVE! exhibition ticket combo: $20

Five Ways Men Lead Their Families That...
When God thinks of you, what comes to mind?
While pastors do answer to boards in their job, we ultimately do not answer to people. I remember having a conversation once with a guy who was upset about something we decided to do, and he said, "I give here. You answer to me. I should get to say what happens because I give here." It is a whole other post, all the inaccuracies in that statement. I looked at him and said, "I don't answer to you. I answer to God, and that scares me a whole lot more than the idea of answering to you."
The idea of God judging how I lead Revolution, how I preach, how I shepherd, scares me. But I think it is a holy fear and one that should drive all pastors. Will God approve of what I did?Will God be glorified with what I did?

Mariae Hackett, founder of Dapur Mariae, tells QFA why she started her business, what inspired her to enter the QFA, and how her business has changed since winning.
Can you tell us more about Dapur Mariae? What is your main source of inspiration?
My husband Gerard is a trained chef, and his mother was an excellent cook, and I come from a culture where food plays a pivotal role. My own family hailed a generation of great cooks, particularly my mother who introduced me to the kitchen at a very young age. Together it was a perfect union where food, fun, and laughteras and still is a regular feature. Hence Dapur Mariae was born after we were prompted by everyone who fell in love with our food to share our passion beyond our humble kitchen. They believed it would be a resounding success especially as Malaysian cuisine was still relatively unknown 5 years ago and desperately needed to make its mark amidst a sea of other all too familiar South Asian flavours. Our main source of inspiration undoubtedly would be our families who have encouraged and supported us from the start, and through all the highs and lows.
Hands down the favourite thing has to be winning Small Producer Award in 2020 along with the amazing opportunity of listing our products in 150 Coop stores. Along with the listing in Co-op, we were also selected to be one of the 9 small businesses to be part of their Incubator Scheme. The scheme offers mentorship and support from the start till the products go onto the shelves.
"The main effect of winning for our business is that it instilled confidence in our customers that our products were tasty and high quality! Without a doubt it has assisted greatly in increasing sales and gaining a wider audience who are both eager and curious."
I would advice anyone who is reticent about entering to just take the plunge and go for it. Even if you don’t win, there is the opportunity to network and more importantly, receive valuable feedback from the judges. As a start-up or even if you’re an established business, there is always room to learn and gaining perspective from others helps with future growthbe in three years?
Our plan is to continue with our mission of spreading the joys of Malaysian cuisine borne from a rich culture and heritage to everyone. We want it to be a product that is a staple in food cupboards all over UK. In 3 years, we intend to have an extended range and be readily available in other supermarkets, independent retailers, and truly be entrenched as a household name.

My favorite thing to do lately is read and discover new blogs. When trying to save money (and decrease my make-up collection), I feel that seeing others buy new beauty products will somehow fulfill my never-ending want for something new. While it helps in that I'm not buying a lot anymore, I definitely like to "splurge" and grab a few new items that I see popping up everywhere. My new treats?...Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. *swooon*
Note: As Blogger will/has not let me load pictures-ALL DAY LONG?!- I will have you check out some of my favorite blogs and admire their beautiful swatches and blogs, swatches and lola's secret beauty blog: Revlon's New Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains- Review & Swatches Part I. They both helped sway me into purchasing the balms and also helped with the colors I ended up purchasing (Rendezvous and Sweetheart).
I think I want to try one of the Nude ones next. Or maybe a red;)

he was in agreement with us, so Chen Yun did not insist. The matter was thus resolved.
During this period, comments from Party elders critical of Yaobang's working style and his efforts in the areas of foreign policy, economic policy, and Party reorganization were becoming public. This traced in part to what happened at Beidaihe. They also said Hu was not concentrating on the administration of the Party, but rather was overly involved in economic affairs. They said a Communist Party's General Secretary should not be so enthusiastic about visiting capitalist countries. And they scoffed at the press coverage that claimed he had replied to several thousands of letters from ordinary people and visited many rural counties in a few days.
During this time, Yaobang could not do anything right. Most of Yaobang's suggestions at Secretariat meetings were resisted and rejected by the elders. His work as a leader had already become very difficult.
Shortly after the Sixth Plenum of the 12th Central Committee, Yaobang told me that Comrade Xiaoping had spoken with him. Deng said that he was going to resign from the Politburo Standing Committee and from his position as chairman of the Central Advisory Commission. He wanted Yaobang to succeed him and to allow a younger person to take over as General Secretary. Deng told Hu that if this happened, it would lead to a great number of retirements among the Party elders. Yaobang also told me that he had suggested me for the position of General Secretary, since I was younger than him, while people even younger were not yet ready for the position.
Since Deng had never spoken to me about whether he would retire or not, or what responsibilities Yaobang would have, I could not comment at the time. As for recommending me for the position of General Secretary, I replied to Yaobang, "I have said many times that among the leaders between the ages of sixty and seventy, you are the only appropriate one. You and I are within the same age group; if you were to retire, how could I be the successor? If it is to be done, then it should go to someone younger."
I also said, "If you think there is no younger person who is ready, a vacancy can also be considered for the General Secretary position. The Politburo Standing Committee [PSC] and the Politburo can be chaired in turn by the different members of the PSC. This could help to train the younger comrades."
Yaobang said that my suggestion would be considered. At that moment, I spoke casually because it was not a formal discussion and was in the context of his merely relaying to me what Deng had suggested and how he had responded. More important, I in fact did not want to be General Secretary, but wanted to continue as Premier to manage economic reform. When Hu related what Deng had said, he seemed calm and showed no signs of being upset.
AComrade Yaobang appeared to be in very good spirits and excited about his work. He visited Jiangsu Province, Shanghai, and many other places. He gave speeches and enjoyed prominent exposure in the newspapers. I felt that he had interpreted Deng's talk simply as a proposal "to make the leadership younger," that Deng would retire and he would succeed Deng in his current position so as to impel a bunch of Party elders to retire. It is possible that he interpreted it in this way without noticing that Deng's attitude toward him had fundamentally changed.
In December 1986, student demonstrations broke out in several cities. In Shanghai, they were very large. Not only were there street protests, but demonstrators stormed the municipal government building.*
This incident shocked Deng Xiaoping. On December 30, he called Yaobang, Wan Li, Hu Qili, Li Peng, [Vice Minister of the State Education Commission] He Dongchang, and me to his home to speak about the student protests. He said, "The student demonstrations that have taken place recently have not happened by chance. They are the result of the lax control over bourgeois liberalization." He named [dissident astrophysicist] Fang Lizhi and [liberal writer] Wang Ruowang, then blamed Yaobang for neglecting to expel Wang Ruowang from the Party. He had asked him to do so long ago, why had it not been done? As for the demonstrations, he proposed firm measures to quell them, even if that meant resorting to the means of dictatorship.
Deng in fact was assigning all responsibility for the student demonstrations to Yaobang. The emotional outburst revealed the increasingly deep rift between him and Hu on the issue of liberalization. The transcript of Deng's speech was immediately printed and disseminated to various levels of administration, so many people knew about it.
On January 4, I received a notice calling me to Deng's home for a meeting. When I arrived around 10 A.M., Chen Yun, Wan Li, Yang Shangkun, Bo Yibo, Wang Zhen, and Peng Zhen were already there. After everyone had arrived, Deng pulled out a letter to show us.
It was Yaobang's letter of resignation, addressed to Deng. The general idea of the letter was that he [Hu Yaobang] had not been cautious enough in his leadership, that he had done a lot of foolish things concerning domestic and international issues. But mainly he said that he had been weak in upholding the Four Cardinal Principles and the Anti-Liberalization Campaign, had been ambivalent in his attitude, and had therefore caused a flood of liberalization and become a protective shield for some villains. Since the mistakes he made were grave, he was asking permission to step down in order to review his thoughts and give a proper accounting to the Party.
After everyone in the meeting had read the letter, Deng said that the resignation should be accepted. Nobody expressed disagreement. Deng said that after Yaobang stepped down, Zhao Ziyang, Bo Yibo, Yang Shangkun, and Wan Li should be in charge of the affairs of the Politburo Standing Committee until the 13th Party Congress. I suggested that Hu Qili be included, since he was standing secretary of the Secretariat in charge of daily affairs. Deng agreed.
That became the Five-Person Group that I was in charge of, which took over the dailyDeng said that soft methods could be used to deal with Yaobang's affair. His membership on the Politburo Standing Committee could be retained so as to minimize the impact on domestic and international affairs. He also said that the Central Advisory Commission could call for a Party life meeting to conduct a criticism and correction of Yaobang, and then announce Yaobang's resignation at an enlarged Politburo meeting rather than in a Central Committee plenum.
A
Chenoper procedure. He was afraid there would be comments, both domestic and international, about the acceptance of the General Secretary's resignation at a Politburo meeting, so he made it a point to announce that it was legal and in line with proper procedures.
Deng himself never took such matters seriously. Of course, the way Yaobang's case was handled, especially the criticism of him in the Central Advisory Commission's Party life meeting, did trigger some domestic and international criticism that the change of leadership had involved illegitimate means.
During the meeting at Deng Xiaoping's home, [Party elder] Li Xiannian was in Shanghai. After the meeting, Deng Xiaoping immediately sent Yang Shangkun to Shanghai to inform him and ask his opinion. After Yang Shangkun briefed Li Xiannian on what had happened, Li, of course, wholeheartedly agreed with the outcome; it was like a dream come true. He said to Yang, "I've known all along that this guy was no good!"
He also suggested that Hu was silver-tongued and full of tricks. Li said that when Yaobang recently came to Shanghai, Li requested to meet with Yaobang, who had the nerve to refuse him. Li continued to vent his anger toward Hu. He also agreed with the move to make me Acting General Secretary, but told Yang Shangkun, "Ziyang has learned too much foreign stuff. Continuing in this is

For those matters where teleconferencing is not appropriate, Everson said "hopefully," arrangements can be made to ensure a quorum for an in-person meeting in the near future."
Chavez addressed the issue Monday saying, "A lot of Commissioners spoke on Act #302." We hear you loud and clear. We reached out to Attorney Frazier. I told you guys that I was going to write a letter to the governor to ask him to reconsider. Attorney Frazier told me they've already done that on the Parish's behalf and it did not work out so well."
"We have some Commissioners that don't want to come to the meetings because of personal health concerns and that doesn't go unheard," Chavez said. "At the end of the day, it is more difficult to run Zoom meetings. It is difficult to run simultaneous in-person and Zoom meetings, but this is our job. So, if our job can be achieved 100 percent via Zoom and allows some people to stay at home, I'm fine with that."

The Chihuahua state attorney general shares this view and has, as a result, sent several cases to the PGR. Human Rights Watch interview with Patricia González Rodríguez,Chihuahua state attorney general, Washington, DC, November 8, 2008. Some examples of recent complaints regarding military abuses against civilians, including beatings and illegal entries into homes, that the state attorney general’s office sent to federal prosecutors are: Chihuahua State Attorney General’s Office, Document No. 0361/2008, April 10, 2008;418/2008, April 28592/2008, June 13645/2008, June 27number 0693/2008, July 11761/2008, August708/2008, July 15, 2008; and81/08, August 25, 2008.
Human Rights Watch has been unable to document whether these specific cases were in fact being investigated by civilian or military authorities. However, senior officials from the PGR told Human Rights Watch that they “automatically” send cases involving soldiers on active duty to the PGJM.
[30]For example, military authorities investigated for years the case of Miguel Orlando Muñoz Guzmán, a military official who has been missing since 1993 and was last seen inside military installations. Yet in 2007, after a series of meetings betweenthe NGO that took the case to the IACHR) and government officials, the government of Mexico stated that the case was being investigated by state prosecutors. Letter from Santiago Canton, IACHR executive secretary, toEJIL, March 23, 2007. Another example is the case of the González Pérez sisters, analyzed in chapter III of this report.

Although military personnel working within the military justice system are not transferred to other positions within the Armed Forces, there is no guarantee they would continue performing the same functions (i.e., as prosecutors, defense attorneys, or judges).

time kept rolled up in a bundle. In this state, it usually shrinks and requires a great deal of stretch- ing to get it back to its approximate former size. This is accomplished by pulling with the hands and feet, two persons being required to handle a large skin (Plate iv). After this, comes the rubbing and drying processes. The surface is vigorously rubbed with a rough edged stone until it j)resents a clean grained appearance (Plate v). The skin is further drietl and whitened by sawing back and forth through a loop of twisted sinew or thong tied to the under side of an inclined lodge pole (Plate v). This friction develops considerable heat, thereby drying and softening the texture. As this and the preceding rubbing are parts of the same process their chrono- 1 These pieces of flesh, fat, etc., are much prized for malviiig soup. For an Assiniboine reference to the same practice, see Vol. 4, p. 136. ' McClintock states that the root of the parsnip, Leptntaenia multifida. was sometimes mixed with the.se, 274. 1910.] Wisslcr, Material Culture of Blackfoot Indians. 65 logical relation is not absolute, but the order, as observed, was usually. No dressing of deer skins came under the observation of the writer, but a statement was secured from an old woman who still kept up the art. She proceeded as stated under soft tan, except that after the fatty compound had been worked into the skin, the hair surface was rubbed down with a beaming tool (now with a common knife, formerly with a rib bone) to remove any scattering hairs missed in working down with the adze. Then the skin was treated in the aforesaid manner and rubbed over a cord. The color and finish were imparted by smoking. The skins were spread over a frame similar to that of a sweat house, a hole was dug underneath and a smoulder- ing fire maintained with sage or rotten wood. My informant had a deer skin to which she had given the rawhide finish some time ago; later on, she expected to give it the soft tan and smoked finish. A minute study of the above process for any of the northern Plains tribes will have doubtful comparative value because the influence of the fur trade upon the mode of dressing skins must have been strong and is certainly almost beyond discovery. Even as late as 1880, the Blackfoot traded hundreds of soft tanned buffalo robes at Fort Benton and elsewhere. During the trading period great stores of rawhide were accumvdated din-ing the hunting season to be tanned at leisure. Hence, the reader may exj^ect a great deal of varia- tion in the process stated above and a great many modifications due to the demands of trade. However, a few comparative statements may not be out of place. The method of soft tan as described above, is practically the same as described by James.- \Yhile few writers are so explicit as this one, we get hints from many journals that indicate a general distribution of this process from Peace River to the Gulf of ^Mexico and from California to New England. Even the treatment of buckskin by smoking is known over this whole area, at least. However, the Kiowa processes as described by Battey are in greater agreement with those of the Blackfoot than all other accounts we have read.'* We may pass to a description of the instruments used by the Blackfoot. Unfortunately, the collection does not contain many specimens, but from 1 See also James, 1, 202. 2 James, 1, 202. 3 Battey, 187. 65 Anthropological Papers American Mvseum of Natural History. [Vol. V, observation and information procured in the field, the types can be shown. The adze-Hke scraper is the well known antler elbow type; Fig. 33c, is minus the metal blade but otherwise complete. The wrapping to the blade is held by ii cord taking two turns around the handle and anchored in the end by a wire nail. In all tools of this type, the part of the handle forming the haft is usually wedge-shaped, flattened on the inner and rovmded on the outer surface. The blade is placed on the flattened surface, wrapped to the haft by a strip of soft tanned skin and the whole wound by many turns of a small thong. In use, the downward pressure of the stroke wedges the blade tight by forcing the wedged haft down into the aforesaid binding. When the pressure is removed the blade and its binding may slip off unless held in place by the cord passing around the handle. Old ]>eople say that formerly, the blades were of chippetl stone, but that iron has been in use for a very long time. The blades are now made of scraps of iron, often pieces of files, with slightly rounded ends on which are cutting edges bevelled from the outer surface. In operation, the blade is })ractically perpendicular to the surface to be scraped (Plate iii). Fleshers have iron blades, serrated, often the whole tool being made in the form of a common cold chisel. Until recently, fleshers had the form of a specimen collectetl among the Gros Ventre, Fig. 34d. In use, the shaft of the tool is grasped near the middle and the loop of thong above passed under the wrist as a brace (Plate i). No beaming tools were collected; but according to information they were of the rib bone type. In 1906, the writer observed a woman removing the hair from a rawhide with a rounded waterworn pebble (Plate i). She struck hard glancing blows and at each stroke removed a small bunch of hair. In reality, the action was about the same as rubbing and notwithstanding the force of the impact the hide was not damaged, even the pigmented layer being practi- cally intact. Further information was to the effect that this method was still used for various reasons, chiefly of convenience, and that in former times when making shields of buffalo hide the hair was removed in this way so as not to disturb the pigmented layer nor reduce the natural thickness of the hide. Many objects of buft'alo hide in collections are covered with a choco- late-like layer, apparently the normal pigmented layer of the skin. Such a layer would be damaged by the use of the adze tool and the above may be a suggestion as to the manner of dressing so as to produce this effect. At another time, a stone scraper was secured from an old woman about to dress a deer skin (Fig. 32). It is a slab struck from the outer surface of a waterworn pebble, the edge being formed by the fracture and the curved surface.^ The owner claimed to have made many such implements but that 1 Spinden refers to a similar stone scraper used by the Nez Perce, (b), 215. 1910. Wissler, Material Culture of BlackfmA Indians. 67 suitable pebbles were found with great difficulty. In use, this tool was held and handled in the same manner as the unshaped pebble noted above. The owner stated that she })referred such a tool for work on a deer skin because metal tools cut too many holes. Before leaving this subject, it may not be amiss to note the dis- tribution of the types of tools just described. The adze tool as found in the collections of this Museum is used by the Sarcee, Black- foot, Gros Ventre, Teton, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Wind River and Lemhi Shoshone, and Turtle Mountain Ojibwa. According to ^Nlason, the Crow, Kiowa, Pawnee, Paiute and a Pueblo group of New ^Mexico should be added; Long, the Omaha; De Smet, the Flat- heads and Spinden, the Nez Perce. Refer- ences to this instrument have not been found in the literature for California and the coast northward, the Athai^ascan area nor the Eastern Woodlands, though the search was not exhaustive. The above indicates that it is peculiar to the Plains area and confined chiefly to the buffalo hunting tribes. The fact that a specimen occurs in the Ojibwa Fig. 32 (50-6438).
