[02] Overland in Wet Weather
Turn 1 is a wilderness exploration turn. |
Everybody falls into line, and the long, lonely march overland commences.
The sun is halfway above the horizon, and the sky turning grey-blue as our company trudges out of the safe embrace of the Grey Hart's camp. You're not a quarter mile gone before the sun is fully risen and the camp's morning bell carries clearly to your ears, ringing dolefully to signify the changing of the guard.
Looking back, the camp is a muddy sprawl of several score tents and morning fires encircling the lee side of a grassy hill. Ahead, the grey clouds are gathering over the moors and promise to bring rain before noon. Alas, there is no proper road out to the moorlands, but travelling due east is easy enough; you have only to keep the rising sun ahead of you, and the setting sun behind you. Secure in this knowledge you trudge on...
| The referee would normally dice in secret to determine whether a wilderness encounter would occur each day; these occur on a roll of 6 and are checked once per day in open terrain such as this. 1d6=1 a throw of 1 indicates nothing untoward happens during the first day. Hardly surprising so close to a major camp! |
The ground ahead is undulating and becoming wet and sedgy as you approach the moors. Large puddles and pools of standing water become more frequent, sometimes causing you to deviate from your most direct course in order to remain on higher ground. And soon enough a steady drizzle sets in. Your first meal break is a cheerless affair in the rain, and though there are intermittent patches without rain, there is little respite during the afternoon. The ground grows steadily wetter and muddier, and overall visibility is limited by the rain and the mist that rises off the wet ground.
| Any rain will reduce overland movement rate during a wet season so, if this weather persists, your hike might take three days instead of two. Additionally, the limited visibility conditions due to rain introduce the possibility of becoming lost. The referee would normally determine this in secret, but as this is a demonstration I will roll for the players openly: 1d6=6, so you have remained more or less on track. |
As dusk approaches on the first day those without travelling cloaks are thoroughly wet through. Everyone has wet feet, regardless.
Do you have any any specific arrangements for your overnight camp?

Parents should relish their child's first few Halloweens, the only ones where you actually get to choose the costume! After that, gender lines get drawn, popular culture seeps into your child's imagination, and things don't necessarily go your way. So, as the mother of a three year old on the cusp of making an unfortunate decision, take my advice: Don't miss out on the narrow window of opportunity when your kid is nothing but totally cute for Halloween!
This little Lamb Bonnet ensures just that. Based on my Winter Baby Bonnet pattern, this version has the addition of floppy lamb ears and is made with a combination of Michael Miller's sumptuous Organic Sherpa and Robert Kaufman's dreamy Shetland Flannel in two very lamb-y colorways. Have a very happy (and cute!) Halloween! -Corinne
- ½ yard of Michael Miller's Organic Sherpa, 100% organic cotton
- ½ yard of Robert Kaufman's Shetland Flannel, 100% cotton. We used Grey Herringbone and Peach Tweed.
- Gutermann's Cotton Thread (110 yards). We used color 1040.
These are enough materials to make 2 hats for sizes 0-3 or 3-6 months; or 1 hat for sizes 6-12, 12-18 or 18-24 months.
You will also need . . .
- Lamb Bonnet Template, available for free download here, printed and cut out in the appropriate size.
- A walking foot for your sewing machine.
Sizes are for 0-3 (3-6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24) months.
Prewash all fabrics before starting. This is particularly important with the Organic Sherpa, which shrinks quite a bit with its first wash and dry.
Use ¼-inch seam allowances unless otherwise noted.
The right side of the Organic Sherpa is the fuzzy side.
Use the prepared template pieces to cut from both fabrics: 2 Hat Sides, 2 Ears and a rectangle, but first, be sure to line up the grainline properly. Here's how . . .
The grainline runs perpendicular to the fabrics' selvage edges. Line up the templates so that the marked arrows run along the grainline as shown above.
Also, if you are using fabric(s) with a clear right and wrong side (like the Organic Sherpa), be sure to cut one Hat Side and one Ear with the right side of the fabric facing up and one of each with the wrong side of the fabric facing up. The Hat Side pair and the Ear pair should be mirror images of each other.
NOTE: The two Hat Sides shown above have their right sides facing up. The Hat Side on the left is the Left Hat Side; the Hat Side on the right is the Right Hat Side.
From each fabric, cut one rectangle measuring 3 ½ by 11 ½ (3 ½ by 12 ½, 3 ¾ by 13 ½, 3 ¾ but 14 ½, 4 by 15 ½) inches. The grainline of the fabrics should run along the long edge of the rectangles.
Transfer Markings
Using your preferred fabric marking tool or pins, transfer the marked lines on the Hat Side template to the right side of the two Hat Sides cut from the Outer Fabric.
NOTE: For the White colorway, the Outer Fabric is the Sherpa. For the Brown or Black colorway, you may choose to use the Flannel as the Outer Fabric.
Sew the Ears
With right sides together, stack one Ear cut from the Flannel on top of one Ear cut from the Sherpa. Pin in place.
Sew the Ears together along the curved edge. Do not sew the bottom closed.
Trim the seam allowance along the sewn edge, leaving the unsewn area untrimmed.
Pull the Ear right side out through the unsewn bottom edge and press flat.
Fold the Ear in half lengthwise so that Outer fabric is on the outside and the two lines at the bottom edge of the Ear align.
Pin the fold in place.
Repeat with the remaining two Ear pieces.
The two finished Ears should be mirror images of each other. The Ear shown above left is the Left Ear. The Ear shown above right is the Right Ear.
Attach the Ears to the Outer Hat Sides
Take the Left Hat Side cut from the Outer Fabric and lay it out flat. Lining up the raw edges, pin the Left Ear between the two marked lines, making sure that the folded edge of the Ear faces towards the back of the Hat.
With the walking foot attached, sew the Ear in place with a basting stitch.
Repeat with the Right Hat Side cut from the Outer Fabric and the Right Ear.
Now finish the Bonnet following the directions for the Winter Baby Bonnet project, starting at the "Piece" section. Keep in mind that instead of the Liberty of London, you're probably using Shetland Flannel. Also, for the Lamb Bonnet, the Sherpa may be either the Outer Fabric or the Lining, depending on what you decide!

Franklin Leonard's 2010 Blacklist comes out today, his annual compilation of the favorite unmade scripts in Hollywood as voted on by some 300 of his colleagues.
Some of the films that have graced past lists are "The Social Network," "Inglourious Basterds," "(500) Days of Summer," "Superbad," "Juno," and "The Queen." Of course "Cop Out" also once made the list, but, hey, what're ya gonna do?
Topping the list is a film about Karl "Turdblossom" Rove first cut his teeth as a campaign trickster working for Lee Atwater on a college campaign.

That was fast - I didn't really expect to get a response to that video. Thanks!
Going bald does suck. I have to admit I've considered treatment but in the end I can't justify spending money on my vanity which could be spent on better providing for my family. So that's it really... no hair for me.

It was pretty funny though - the hairdresser gag was a scream. Yes, baldness sucks, but guess what - the treatments suck too. You got your priorities about right.

My response
You don't have to be so down and out about it - you're a good looking guy and have a family, you could be much worse off!
In terms of treatment, all I can say is educate yourself. It's empowering.
You won't get ripped off, and in the case of prioritizing your money...I respect that you're putting your family first, but you can reduce your expenses if you know how. Again, it's about educating yourself.
The drug Propecia is available in a generic form called Proscar. It's identical, except that instead of a 1mg dose it comes in a 5mg dose. Just cut it into quarters (it won't be exact, but it doesn't need to be) and you're set - instead of spending $70AUD a month on 30 tablets, you can spend $90 on 30 tablets that will last you FOUR months! (30 / 4 pieces = 120 tablets).
Think about it, $90AUD for 4 months isn't that bad! Surely you can afford it.
Anyway good luck with it all, and...cheer up!

USA Volleyball Communications
Press Kit - Event Page
LONDON (Aug. 3, 2012) – The U.S. Olympic Men's Volleyball Team won its 11th consecutive Olympic Games match dating back to 2008 with its upset over top-ranked Brazil Thursday evening to take the lead of Pool B, but the competition doesn't get any easier in its next match on Saturday at Earls Court.
Team USA, ranked fifth in the world and the defending Olympic Games champion, takes a 3-0 record with nine points into its match against No. 2 Russia at 4:45 p.m. local time (8:45 a.m. PT). The Americans have already qualified for the crossover quarterfinals, but are shooting for the top seed out of Pool B in order to face the fourth seed in Pool A.
The Americans have defeated Serbia, Germany and Brazil to start Pool B undefeated. Team USA has lost just one set during the course of the 2012 Olympic Games, that being a 25-23 loss in the opening set on Thursday. Russia, 2-1 in the group with six points, holds victories over Germany and Tunisia with a three-set loss to Brazil. Russia is in third place based on tiebreakers with Russia as both have six points and 2-1 records.
The U.S. and Russia have not played each other in 2012, while Russia won both meetings in 2011 – a four-set win in the FIVB World League Final Round pool play and a three-set victory in the FIVB World Cup. Team USA holds a 56-44 record over Russia.
An interesting component of the match is that U.S. outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) plays club volleyball for Russia's Zenit Kazan, which includes five players of the Russia Olympic Team. Russia star Maxim Mikhaylov, libero Alexey Obmochaev, middle blocker Nikolay Apalikov, middle blocker Alexander Volkov and winger spiker Yury Berezhko all play for Zenit Kazan, which won the 2012 CEV Champions League and placed third at the 2011 FIVB Volleyball Club World Championships.
Following its victory over Brazil, Team USA staff and players stress that there is room for improvement in a crowded field of gold-medal contenders.
"The thing that stands out probably the most to me is that we got better as the match went on," U.S. Olympic Men's Volleyball Coach Alan Knipe said after the Brazil match. "We passed the ball better, we blocked better and we served the ball better. We were much better in counter attack and in transition. I was happy with the team composure after losing the first set."
"There are six teams that can do well in the rest of the tournament, so we need to work hard," Priddy said. "We improved from the last match, which was important. We don't just need to win, we need to improve."
Moving forward, Team USA will work on facets it can control.
"There are a lot of guys on this team who have played in big moments," Knipe said. "They are a confident group who have worked hard to get here. We are focusing on the here and now and concentrating on what we can control."
Opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu), the MVP of the 2008 Olympic Games, ranks fifth in scoring with 48 points (38 kills, 5 blocks, 5 aces). He holds a .429 hitting efficiency (38-8-70) for second in Best Spiker. Outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.), a first-time Olympian, ranks seventh in scoring during the 2012 Olympic Games with 47 points. He ranks fifth in Best Spiker with a .377 hitting efficiency (38-12-69). Priddy ranks 14th in scoring with 34 points and 13th in Best Spiker with a .309 hitting efficiency (25-8-55). Stanley, Priddy and Anderson are all in a tie for third place in Best Server with 0.50 per set.
Blocking has been a key area for the U.S. Men in the 2012 Olympic Games with Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) and David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) averaging 0.80 blocks per set for a tie for seventh place.
Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) ranks as the third best setter in the Olympics through three matches with 11.10 running sets average. He adds a team-high 1.70 digs per set for 11th place in the tournament. Anderson adds a 77.9 excellent reception percent to lead the Best Receiver category.
Russia's Maxim Mikhaylov paces his team with 48 points for fifth place overall and is sixth in Best Spiker with a .364 hitting efficiency (41-13-77). Dmitry Muserskiy adds 28 points, including nine blocks as part of a 1.00 block average for third-best in Best Blocker. Alexey Obmochaev ranks second in Best Digger with 2.89 digs per set, while Alexander Butko ranks second in Best Setter with 11.22 running sets average.
In addition to the USA-Russia match, Saturday's Pool B matches include fifth-place Germany (2 points, 1-2) versus sixth-place Tunisia (0 points, 0-3) at 9:30 a.m. local time (1:30 a.m. PT) and second-place Brazil (6 points, 2-1) taking on fourth-place Serbia (4 points, 1-2) at 10 p.m. local time (2 p.m. PT). In Pool A, sixth-place Great Britain (0 points, 0-3) hosts second-place Poland (6 points, 2-1) at 11:30 a.m. local time (3:30 a.m. PT), third-place Italy (6 points, 2-1) taking on fifth-place Australia (3 points, 1-2) and first-place Bulgaria (9 points, 3-0) challenging fourth-place Argentina (3 points, 1-2) at 8 p.m. (noon PT).

Work Rules
Erina shows up for her first day of work and learns the work rules from Mike. (Scenes 3 | Part 6 of 7)
Erina: Hey Mike, I'm ready for the first day.
Mike: Okay. Well, welcome to Campus Pizza. Because it's your first day, I'm just going to through a few of the rules with you. You're always supposed to show up 10 minutes before your shift, so you're not late.
When you show up, the first thing you do is you go to the back and you put on the apron, and of course the apron is to distinguish us from the customers, and also to keep your clothes clean. Aprons are found on the hooks as you walk into the back room just on the left wall.
And... well, I don't usually make pizzas so I'm not going to be the one teaching you that. Jeff over here who's the head chef, who runs the line, is going to show you all about the kitchen. Today I'm just going to talk to you about, you know, answering the phone and, tell you a bit about breaks, and dos and don'ts around the restaurants. Basically when you work a 2-hour shift, you get one 15-minute break. And when you work a 4-hour shift, you get two 15-minute breaks. But you have to choose your breaks wisely because you're not allowed to a break in the middle of the rush, because you might leave people in a bit of a jam. So, obviously, take your breaks at the slowest times, if you can help it.
Mari Goes to Australia
Part 1: First Meeting
Part 2: Drop Classes
Part 3: The Invite
Part 4: The Job Offer
Part 5: The Interview
Part 6: Work Rules
Part 7: The Mistake
Erina: Okay, so... so I should show up 10 minutes before work, and the apron's back there, got it. And in terms of the phone calls, like, what should I do?
Mike: Well, there's kind of a way to answer the phone. You always answer saying, "Hello, Campus Pizza" . And then there's three things that you have to ask, and they have to be in order. The first thing you ask is, "is it for take out or for delivery?" The next thing is the information of the customer, so you can ask them their phone number, and you ask them their address, and then third you ask them their order. Now the reason there is this order is because, the first thing (you) need to know is if it's for delivery or take out, so that there's no confusion between the delivery boy and the kitchen, and since I'm the delivery boy I want to make sure you don't confuse me.
Erina: Okay, so, what I have to follow is that, I have to say "Campus Pizza", like when I pick up the phone.
Mike: Yeah.
Erina: And first I have to ask if it's for take out or for delivery.
Mike: Right.
Erina: And the next would be the phone call, I mean the phone number of the customer, and then the address.
Mike: Yeah.
Erina: And then the order.
Mike: That's right.
Erina: Okay. I got it. Thank you.
Mike: You got it. I'm sure you'll pick it up pretty fast.
Erina: Yeah, I hope you can help me out, and I hope you're not going to be too angry with me.
Mike: No, no. Those are the rules, but it's pretty flexible around here, and as long as you're putting in effort and everybody has a good time, that's all we want.
Erina: Thank you so much.
show up
When you show up, the first thing you do is get an apron.
To show up means to appear. For example, students need to show up to class on time or they will be late. Notice the following:
- Bill did not show up for work today.
- My little brother always shows up when I don't want him around.
run the line
The head chef runs the line.
A line in a kitchen is where food is prepared for costumers. To run the line, just means to manage the line, or oversee the food preparation. To run something means to manage it. Notice the following:
- I used to work on the line in the kitchen.
- The cook runs a tight line at that restaurant.
the rush
You are not allowed a break in the middle of the rush.
The rush is the busiest time for something. For a restaurant, the rush is usually between 7 and 9 p.m. when many people want dinner. Notice the following:
- I hate rush hour traffic.
- It is hard to get a table during the rush.
a bit of a jam
You might leave people in a bit of a jam.
A jam is a difficult spot or difficult situation. A bit of a jam then just means a small or short-term problem. When is something is jammed it is stuck and cannot move, but should be freed shortly, therefor a jam is a temporary problem. Here are a few other examples.
- I am in a bit of a jam financially. Can you lend me some money?
- She left work without telling me which left me in a bit of a jam because we were really busy.
pick it up
I'm sure you'll pick it up pretty fast.
When you pick something up, that means you learn it quickly. We use the phrase 'to pick something up' usually when talking about learning a skill or language. Notice these examples:
- It took awhile to pick up the ordering system.
- He picks up languages quickly when he travels.

Perfect Strawberry Jam Recipe
Capture the best of your seasonal produce for later.
This twist on classic strawberry jam includes a hint of honey. For best results, farm stand strawberries are essential (do not attempt with supermarket strawberries!). If your jam separates in the hot water bath and all the fruit floats to the top (known as "fruit float"), don't worry—gently shake or roll the jars every 30 minutes or so as they cool to redistribute the strawberries.
About the Author: Lucy Baker is a food writer and the author of The Boozy Baker: 75 Recipes for Spirited Sweets. She is currently at work on a second book about homemade food gifts. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and dachshund.

St. Bonaventure University has chosen the book "Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond" by scholar and journalist Dr. Marc Lamont Hill as its common read for 2017-18.
"Nobody" considers a string of high-profile deaths in America and incidents of gross negligence by the government. To make his case, Hill recounts the details of tragedies like the death of Michael Brown and draws upon first-hand reporting and careful historical analysis to show how the "Nobody" class has emerged over time and how forces in America have worked to preserve and exploit this group in ways that are both humiliating and harmful.
'"Nobody' is an ideal selection for our new students' first St. Bonaventure collegiate book; it is well tailored to the All Bonaventure Reads (ABR) community theme plus St. Bonaventure University's Franciscan premise of caring for the vulnerable," said Jean Trevarton Ehman, chair of the ABR Committee. "Hill does an excellent job of weaving facts into compelling prose that should command readership and fuel thought-provoking discussions. We are eager to welcome Hill as our campus guest and keynote speaker on Sept. 25 as well as create engaging programing concepts students can mold into their own form."
As part of the All Bonaventure Reads initiative, first-year students at St. Bonaventure will receive a copy of "Nobody" during summer Orientation and be asked to read the book and write an essay reflecting on it as their first college assignment. Students will be engaged in conversations about the book's themes in their SBU 101 course and various campuswide events during the upcoming academic year.
"'Nobody' will encourage students to analyze how various social identities, including race, class, and gender, impact an individual's experiences within American communities," said Chris Brown, director of the First-Year Experience program. "By highlighting ways people have been marginalized, 'Nobody' will help students study factors that create dysfunction in society and, hopefully, explore ways to create positive change in their own community."
The university will welcome Hill to campus Monday, Sept. 25, to deliver a keynote address to members of the Class of 2021. The talk will be open to the public and additional details will be announced at a later date.
Hill, the Distinguished Professor of African American Studies at Morehouse College for the past three years, is considered one of the leading scholars of his generation. This fall he will join the faculty at Temple University to focus on how media can help solve challenges faced by cities. Hill, who grew up in Philadelphia, previously worked at Temple and received his bachelor's degree in elementary education from the university.
Rachel Sawyer, a residence director and ABR committee member, feels "Nobody" is a perfect pairing for classroom discussions in SBU 101, which is centered on the theme of community.
"The book touches on many different aspects of intersectionality that we fail to recognize at times. I think that it is tremendously important to discuss systemic oppression. Just by starting a conversation, we can help address these issues around the world and, specifically, in our own community," Sawyer said.
An award-winning journalist, Hill has received numerous prestigious awards from the National Association of Black Journalists, GLAAD, and the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. He is also the host of BET News and VH1 Live, as well as a political contributor for CNN.
Since his days as a youth in Philadelphia, Hill has been a social justice activist and organizer. He is a founding board member of My5th, a non-profit organization devoted to educating youth about their legal rights and responsibilities. He is also a board member and organizer of the Philadelphia Student Union. Hill also works closely with the ACLU Drug Reform Project, focusing on drug informant policy. Over the past few years, he has actively worked on campaigns to end the death penalty and to release numerous political prisoners.
Ebony Magazine has named him one of America's 100 most influential black leaders.
He is the author or co-author of three other books: the award-winning "Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life: Hip-Hop Pedagogy and the Politics of Identity;" "The Classroom and the Cell: Conversations on Black life in America;" and "Gentrifier."
Trained as an anthropologist of education, Hill holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the intersections between culture, politics and education.
Campus programming for All Bonaventure Reads 2017 will be announced at www.sbu.edu/ABR as events are confirmed.
