Snapshot: Relief after our father's funeral
It looks like a jolly occasion – a wedding, perhaps – but this was taken at the bunfight after my father's funeral. We four siblings, seldom together these days, snapped in one moment. Three sisters on the bench, then at a chance remark from me, the youngest, teasing my brother, provoked him into lying across our laps. A burst of laughter, a wave of a hand, and Auntie Val (that's "fake auntie" Val, my mum's oldest friend), turned with her camera, and – voilà – my favourite ever picture of me and my siblings. We all have a print; it seems so rare for us all to be in one place, all laughing.
I think it was the relief, more than anything else, that he had gone. He should have died three years previously, but somehow doctors kept him going and sent him home, where he slowly declined: everything he had dreaded. Ten years earlier, we had been on a walk together; as we strode up a hill, he told me that he subscribed to a living will, that we weren't to let him become a burden – he didn't want to live if he couldn't do the things he loved; could he rely on me to see this through? But when it came to it, he clung on to precious life. Our mother cared for him, her own health deteriorating as the demands of their daily life took a heavy toll.
So there we were, on a sunny August day, drinking champagne cocktails on the patio, having given him a send-off that he would have thoroughly enjoyed, with friends and family together and a wonderful wreath on his coffin made by my middle sister, from old copies of the Guardian, tied together with baler twine.

Playlist: Mum, Marvin Gaye and the Avon lady
I Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye
"Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew / Bout your plans to make me blue / With some other guy you knew before /Between the two of us guys you know I love you more"
Reading this on mobile? Click here to watch.
My mother had always had catholic tastes in music, which I have more than inherited. As a young girl, she used to play Deanna Durbin's Allelujah until my grandmother threatened to throw it out of the window, and her and her brother loved playing and dancing to Glenn Miller's In the Mood.
In my teens, she enjoyed Chris Farlowe, Bobbie Gentry and Harry Nilsson; and Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man would always set her off trying to sing along. But her favourites were the Tamla Motown acts, especially the Four Tops. My father preferred ballad singers such as Paul Robeson and hated my music – he used to assure me that one day I would really appreciate Andy Williams. Well, I'm sorry, Andy, but I'm still waiting.
My mother, though, was enthusiastic about hearing what I was into and when I introduced her to crossover, where the sounds travelled from one speaker to the other, she was so impressed that she got the Avon lady to kneel on the carpet in front of the stereogram to hear it.
We both adored I Heard it Through the Grapevine and would play my single with the record player arm open, so it repeated time after time. Imagine our hilarity when my father came into the room once, stood for a moment, and asked: "Is this a long player?"

We love to eat: Aunt Fila's Romanian soup
2 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 parsnip, chopped
A good handful of green beans, chopped
1 pepper (yellow or red), chopped
2.4 litres (4 pints) vegetable or chicken stock (made from a cube)
3-4 peeled diced tomatoes, or 400g (14oz) tin chopped tomatoes
Soured cream, to taste
A bunch of parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a large, lidded saucepan and fry the onions for two minutes until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, the parsnip, the green beans and the pepper. Cook for two more minutes, then pour in the stock and tomatoes and simmer for half an hour until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a dollop of soured cream. Top with the parsley.
I have cooked this soup many times using British ingredients. Each time I make it, I am transported back to my childhood in Romania in the 1980s, to the holidays spent in a Carpathian village, where my aunt Fila used to live. With her thick, wild hair like a white halo, and faded floral dresses, Aunt Fila was a true matriarchal figure gathering all the family around her. Every summer, a regiment of aunties, each with a set of children, would leave behind an overheated Bucharest and invade the hilly, dusty village surrounded by orchards.
Having to feed so many mouths (during communist rationing), she had to be creative. On the woodstove in her precarious outdoor kitchen, she made a mysteriously never-ending soup, which we had as a first course.
I must have been 11 or 12 when I asked her to teach me how to make it. That day, my aunt let me take her place at the stove, saying she would "let her hands rest". She patiently guided me through all the stages of a soup whose ingredients varied according to the season, her neighbours' generosity and the mercy of the weather. It took me ages, my hands going numb, unused to the chopping.
Even now, decades later, I make this soup on a daily basis. However, I feel it lacks something, as I don't have my aunt's strength, her stubborn eagerness – to bring the whole family together.

Today, the National Education Association-New Hampshire (NEA-NH), the state's largest educator and public employee union, strongly recommended Colin Van Ostern for Governor of New Hampshire.
"Colin Van Ostern has a proven record that New Hampshire educators and families can trust," said Megan Tuttle, NEA-NH Vice President and Pembroke teacher. "From working to lower tuition costs to championing full-day kindergarten, Colin Van Ostern is an advocate for educators and students, alike. As our next Governor, Colin will continue moving New Hampshire forward, so that everyone has a chance to succeed – not just those at the top."

Meanwhile BTR shareholders complain that the takeover - for that is what it is in essence - is without premium and does nothing to correct the appalling loss of value they've experienced. Furthermore, they seem to be contributing rather more than half the combined turnover and profits for rather less than half its shares. They question whether the injection of Siebe's management is worth that kind of dilution.
BTR's share price has been in more or less relentless decline ever since Ian Strachen was appointed with the brief of dismantling the sprawling industrial conglomerate created by Sir Owen Green and transforming it into a "focused engineering group". Nobody can fault the underlying sense of this; the problem is that once committed to a programme of wholesale asset sales, it is the saleable bits that tend to go first, leaving the dross behind. There is certainly a suspicion that this is what has happened at BTR and that this is one of the reasons its profits are in such precipitous decline.
All the same, hope springs eternal and many BTR shareholders continue to believe there's recovery value in the rump. Plainly Mr Yurko is not going to agree a renegotiation of the terms; he's got enough explaining to do to his own shareholders as it is. So BTR's only hope is that the Siebe deal will shake someone else out of the tree.
With the shares now trading at a 7 per cent premium to the value of Siebe's offer, the market is saying that this is not altogether impossible. A year ago, if anyone had come shopping with an offer of, say, 160p a share cash, he would have been sent away with a flea in his ear. Today shareholders would bite his hand off in their desperation to accept the offer.
There are at least four US engineering companies for whom BTR would make a good fit, though some of these might have a competition problem in bidding. Alternatively, one of Britain's smaller engineering companies might like to chance their arm with a management buyin. Both possibilities seem remote, but there's still a chance someone's going to spoil the party.Reuse content

Personal Health Choices
Friday, 27 April 2007
This program includes the following stories:
- Indigenous Swimming Pool
- Alcoholic Drinks
- Iodine
- Boxing Dilemma
Coming up on today's BEHIND THE NEWS special. The dangers of alcoholic milk drinks and keeping an eye on iodine. Hi I'm Kerry Staight. Welcome to our special look at personal health choices. Swimming pools are great fun and a fantastic way to keep fit, but for the local kids of Jigalong in Western Australia, their new pool has been of benefit to those with a whole range of health problems. Krista explains.
This is the remote Aboriginal community of Jigalong. Like many outback communities, it's a very long way from the nearest beach. It would take about a day to drive there. And being on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert it has lots of sand storms, and temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius
In these conditions it's common to find infections like skin sores, eye and ear disease and respiratory problems. But there's been a big improvement in kids health since they got this.
REPORTER: Where did you swim when you're not at the pool?
STUDENT: In the creek.
The creek is little more than a dirty pond in summer, which only adds to health problems. But it was the only place to cool off.
DESIREE SILVA, PAEDIATRICIAN: Prior to pools being built, 70 percent of these children had skin disease approximately 60 to 70 percent of them had ear disease, which significantly impacts on their learning at school.
Since the pool has been installed the number of children with skin, eye, ear and respiratory problems has halved and they are taking fewer antibiotics. A study has shown regular swimming in the pool is the reason. A properly disinfected salt water pool helps clear the airways and nasal passages without spreading infection.
This is a diagram of a normal ear. The middle ear is usually filled with air. If a child gets a cold or a runny nose, fluid builds up in it instead of air. Sometimes a hole may form in the thin membrane, which separates this middle ear and the inner ear canal. This is very painful and can cause dizziness and hearing loss. Left untreated it can cause permanent loss of hearing.
Since the children have been swimming in the pool some of the damaged skin tissues over the holes have healed.
It's believed the salt water cleans out the children's ears and noses, and helps clear up skin infections.
Besides improving health the pool is also getting kids to go to school more often. This community has a rule if you don't go to school you can't swim in the pool.
REPORTER: What do you think of the swimming pool?
CHILD (1): It's great and it's fun.
Great to see! Lots of studies show that alcohol can damage your health - that's why people under 18 aren't allowed to drink it. The taste usually puts most young people off, but some companies are making drinks that disguise the flavour of the alcohol and that has many people concerned. Sarah looks at these drinks and what alcohol can do to your body.
Chocolate milk, yum! And this is a chocolate flavoured milk drink, containing about 5% alcohol. See how they look the same? Same deal for coffee flavoured milk, and strawberry and you get the picture.
SARAH MARTINELLI, REPORTER: But do they look just like flavoured milk, they taste like it too, and that's the problem.
Right from birth we are programmed to like sweet milky drinks, starting with breast milk. Alcohol is an acquired taste. That means it takes some getting used to, and when children are given alcohol they feel a burning sensation in their mouth. Not pleasant!
But these milk-based alcohol drinks disguise that burning sensation. In fact, someone's even done a study on it!
SARAH MARTINELLI, REPORTER: When kids from the age of 12 were given either an alcoholic milk drink or a chocolate milkshake, none of them could tell which one they were drinking. And that has experts worried, that young people are being sucked into drinking alcohol at an earlier age.
Alcohol is actually a poison. A little of it won't hurt you, a bit more will make you drunk, a lot will make you sick, and way too much will kill you. It works like this.
Alcohol moves in the bloodstream by sneaking through the walls of the small intestine. The liver's job is to break it up into less harmful or useful stuff like water and sugar. But if there's too much alcohol in the body, some of it gets through, because the liver can only break down fifteen milliliters of alcohol an hour.
That's about the amount of alcohol in one of these milky drinks. Meanwhile, the brain is having a strange time with the effects of alcohol. The alcohol gets into the gaps between nerve cells in the brain, and interferes with messages the brain sends. The result is that the message is slowed down, which is why people who have had too much to drink get blurred vision, and have slower reaction times.
Long-term effects of alcohol include liver damage like this, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Alcohol is a drug, a legal drug for people over 18, unlike many other drugs around. But now there are calls for these milk based alcoholic drinks to be banned. It's happened before. In 2003, this milk-based alcohol was banned in NSW and Victoria.
Aside from the health risks when kids drink alcohol, there's also the worry that people who start drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to become alcoholics than those who wait until they reach 18.
SARAH MARTINELLI, REPORTER: But one thing to remember. If you're under 18, legally you're not allowed to buy alcohol anyway!.
Some important messages in that story. Time now for a quiz, and the answer to this one is in our next story, so listen carefully. Which gland in your body does iodine keep healthy?
Don't worry if you don't even know what iodine is, because we're about to tell you. Iodine is one of those things that are important to our health as long as we don't have too much. So watch this story carefully and Sarah will explain everything you need to know.
Sarah Martinelli, Reporting
SARAH MARTINELLI, REPORTER: This is iodine, a mineral we need in our diets, but if you had this much of it, it would be poisonous! Instead, you need tiny amounts, over your whole lifetime. And that's the problem, because a recent study has found nearly half of all Australian kids aren't getting enough iodine.
The best sources of iodine are fish and shellfish from the sea, also vegetables from the sea, like seaweed and kelp. You also find it in soil that once used to be under the sea, so if certain vegetables are grown in good healthy soil, they'll also contain iodine.
Another source of iodine used to be milk. Dairies used to use a special iodine solution to sterilise milking equipment. But in the late 1990s they switched to a different cleaning solution, and these days the milk we drink has virtually no iodine in it.
We need iodine as it keeps the thyroid gland in your neck healthy. The thyroid gland produces two hormones that your body needs. When people don't have enough iodine in their diets, they can develop a swelling in the neck, called a goitre. The thyroid gland swells to try to trap as much iodine as possible. This causes tiredness, depression and weakness. If young children don't get enough iodine, they can even develop learning difficulties and speech impediments.
This used to be a problem in developing countries, where people didn't have access to seafood and other foods rich in iodine. But now its a problem in Australia too. Why?
In the good old days, I'm talking the 1950s; Australian school children were given free milk at school, but that all stopped in 1974. And since then Australia's iodine intake has halved. So what's the answer?
SARAH MARTINELLI: Well actually it's salt. That big pile of white stuff behind me is salt - salt that we add to make our food taste better. Some scientists believe that an ideal way to help Australians get more iodine in their diet is to add iodine to salt, in other words to iodise it.
SARAH MARTINELLI: As you can see, iodised salt looks just the same as normal table salt, and take it from me, it tastes the same too.
It sounds simple enough, but how simple was our quiz question?
We asked, which gland in your body does iodine keep healthy?
The answer is thyroid.
Well done if you got that one right. Just being chosen to compete in the Commonwealth Games is a huge achievement and involves lots of work and dedication. But, like in other sports, things that happen outside the sporting arena can disqualify people from competition. As Sarah explains, that happened to a young boxer who was training to compete in Melbourne's Commonwealth Games.
For these two men, boxing is their life, and they've both worked hard to be in Australia's Commonwealth games boxing team. But only one of them can. 25-year-old Anthony Little, from Western Australia originally won the spot and it was a dream come true.
ANTHONY LITTLE, AMATEUR BOXER: I am a better fighter. I've done nothing wrong and all I want is my spot back and that's all I want - just to go to the Commonwealth Games. Sorry to him, but I am the better chance for a medal than he is and that's the way Boxing Australia should look at it.
But last year Anthony tested positive to the banned drug marijuana. He was disqualified and 18-year-old Lenny Zappavigna took his place in the team.
LENNY ZAPPAVIGNA, AMATEUR BOXER: I've been in camp with the whole team since October, training hard. Done all the trips. I went to Norway and won the gold medal over there. I've done all the hard work and prepared for this.
Although Anthony had tested positive for marijuana, he didn't actually smoke the drug himself.
ANTHONY LITTLE: I was driving my car and my two cousins was in the back and they were smoking in the car. And yeah, I told them not to smoke but they still did, so going over there I passively inhaled the marijuana, but I didn't think anything of it.
Anthony believes it wasn't his fault and he wants his place back. Lenny also believes he's done nothing wrong and should keep his place.
Like any sport boxing has rules, and those rules apply to what happens in both inside and outside of the ring. So it doesn't matter how good you are in here if you do something out there to break the rules.
Boxing Australia is in charge of the sport. But if someone is unhappy with its decision they can go to court, and Anthony did, to try and get back on the team. The judge accepted that he had passively inhaled the marijuana smoke, but lawyers for both sides are still arguing about what should happen. Meantime both boxers are still training.
Boxing means everything to Anthony. He had a rough abusive childhood, and boxing helped him stay focused.
ANTHONY LITTLE: I've done everything by the book, done everything right. I've never cheated. I worked hard to get where I am today, especially training hard.
Now he's lost his sponsors, and he's broke. He's desperately waiting for a decision as to whether he's back on the team. Across the other side of the country, 18-year-old Lenny has joined the Australian Institute of Sport boxing squad, and traveled to competitions in Europe in preparation for the Games.
LENNY ZAPPAVIGNA: I try to just tell myself I'm in the team so I can concentrate on my fights and keep training hard and just be confident with myself.
Tom is Lenny's trainer. He says it would be unfair if Anthony is given Lenny's place in the team.
TOM MERCURI, LENNY'S TRAINER: He done the wrong thing and Lenny has worked hard for it. He got chosen. Lenny had an apprenticeship. He dropped the apprenticeship because the AIS called him. He was the second silver medalist and he had preference to go. So he's done everything they told him.
So who should compete? It's a fight they both refuse to lose, but one that won't be decided in a boxing ring.
Despite escaping a ban from Boxing, the positive test disqualified Anthony from selection for the Games and he was replaced by Lenny, who won a bronze medal. Anthony's now focused on competing at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
And that's it for our BTN personal health choices special. I'm Kerry Staight; see you next time.

Staff were courteous and helpful. The swimming pool water was murky. It consistently had floating insects both on it and in it. The steps leading down to the pool were coated in green scum. I did not feel it safe to swim in. There were a very large number of the cups had large pieces missing, not just chipped, but parts broken off, but they were still put out for use by the customers. Dirty Pillows.
Excellent service of the receptionist at arrival. Fantastic location (nature, view). The possibility to take some bread etc. from breakfast buffet as lunch packet. The quality of the interior (room, lighting, TV, bath) resembles that of much cheaper hotels. I had better room quality at other hotels for much less than half the price. Bed too small. Not separate linen. Did not want the dinner buffet but had to pay for it anyway.
Good value for money. Very pretty location. Room was clean and bed very comfortable and facilites very good No internet facilities. Only place we stayed in 3 weeks where we could not access the internet. Food was adequate but not wonderful.
location, food room very small and cramped. expensive for what it was. listed as double room but the one bed in the room was very small for two people
friendly and helpfull staff. Impossible to get a regular heat. It was very difficult to take a shower. Sometimes the water was very hot and than 1 second later it was cold.
One of the few places open in Valberg during the summer, it had good location, close to everything, a good restaurant for breakfast and a small, but comfortable room. Ideal for our purpose of a one-night stay. No problems.
Very close to the bus stop and slopes. Breakfast was good too. The room & bathroom very basic. Could do with a bit of upgrade
It was clean and tidy. Reasonably convenient foe the slopes, and reasonable priced, the bath was a strange sit up and beg bath but better than no bath at all. The walls were so flimsy that children and late arrivals could be heard.
Flexibility on arrival; supporting by planning next day trip. nothing to eat - only 2 restaurants in the whole village were open in June.
The hotel is convenient to stay at, you can walk to all the resturants and there is free parking The TV was very small, and no english channels
free private parking, walking distance to restaurants, good breakfast, the hotel looks to be under refurbishment - the breakfast hall is very nicely refurbished, the rooms nevertheless are very basic with very little furniture very basic room, valberg is a winter resort, only two restaurants open in june
The staff and the dining room No
Decent breakfast Electricity went away 3 times, reception only open 8-20,
Close to Ski Slope and main village Small bath
Ideal stop off for our trip south basic accommodation. It's worth taking the route south fantastic views. Hotel food very good and reasonable. No bells and whistles just basic but ideal.
The room was comfortable and cozy although small. There was no air conditioning but the windows with screens let in plenty of air so we slept well. The price of this hotel was the best on our trip. In the bathroom, you had to take a bath or sit in the bath tub using the hand shower -- no curtain/stall. European breakfasts are over-priced and this one wasn't worth the money for a couple pieces of bread, fruit, and slice of ham. The room was very small although okay for us.
The restaurant in the hotel was fine as there was nowhere else to eat. The rooms were very poor, no sockets, no t.v. very small and need some updating
Very nice hotel, the staff is helpfull, Grate bathroom and hot water. Good value for money.
Breakfast, free wifi The room was a bit small
Pleasant atmosphere, excellent location for village, lake and hiking of a range of levels of difficulty. Good to have free use of computer and good breakfast offered. No TV in bedrooms and our room was a little small although the bathroom was fine.
Very relaxed atmosphere. We were staying with two dogs and the hotel is very accommodating to animals - the staff were exceptionally welcoming and kind. On quite a busy road, but still with a view of the Lake!
Good position for touring the Verdon area. Room a bit too small.
Friendly staff who were helpful. We went during the off-season and couldn't find a restaurant in town. So we ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner...absolutely delicious!
The fine nature, remarkable landscape, free parking for cars, free access to the Internet (Wi-Fi) The hotel is easy for finding
Nice and friendly staff. We had a large room suitable very suitable for our family. Hotel I s ok. The village is a little bit evacuated during summer (as one can expect for a winter sport village). Ok for short stay.
food was good, quite good location, other guests A bit more care on keeping surroundings in good shape and more control on the details (ie, lighting the fire on time). Skiing boot room in particular needed a bit of cleaning and sorting out.
It was a lovely hotel! The room was fresh and cleaned well evey day. It was close to the chair lift and the food in the restaurant was very good. I was very impressed, we had a great stay there. The spa was an extra bonus and great after a day skiing. Well worth staying there.
good service, nice employees, Hotel needs some modernisation and painting - especially back stairs - wifi should be free of charge
Proximity to slopes.
Food, location, peace Building in need of renovation
Friendliness of staff. Excellent food. Cleanliness throughout. A wonderful experience
Location & good food. No
the restaurant was very good room smelled of and felt little damp and there was no hair dryer. We stayed in three different places in the alps - this was the most expensive while being the most basic hotel / b&b so maybe not the best value for moneyconsidering it was supposed to be 3 star accommodation
Nice ambiance, friendly people, good buffet breakfeast a bit oldish style but has it's charm; rooms are not very well isolated from noise
Friendly and courteous staff Difficult to find, below average room and and very average food
The ambiance, the friendliness of the staff The beds were not comfortable. i would have glady stayed an extra night if I had slept better.
The food was excellent. Great location, next to ski rental shop and ski lift. Easy parking. Good facilities all around. Twin rooms did not have equal size beds.
Hotel is perfect for skiing 20 meters from the ski lift a couple of restaurants and a bar nearby. You couldn't get a better location. Hotel was comfortable with nice staff. Highly recommend it.
Cramped room. The whole place needs refurbishment. Ok for one night.
The location, the staff, the atmosphere
Friendly staff. Prompt service. The bathroom was very small, almost impossible to use the toilet as it was so close to the wall in front of it.
Great location and a cozy room considering the 2 star rating. Really a genuine family run business done with the customers interests at heart. None really, maybe abetter shower cubicle in the bedroom would have been nice but 2 star.......what can you expect?
I just stayed one night. The staff was very service minded The village was empty, no cafés or restaurants (other than that at the hotel) was open at this time of the year (end june)
Honest, clean service, helpful service Very limited facilities ie no satelite tv, no fridge
Recommended by friends whom visit now 10 years. Excellent chef and cusine. Great walks and views. We were not told it was a fixed evening dinner menu when we reserved or arrived. Owners do not seem to like foreigners even those with 20 years French and live 2 hours from the hotel like us. We and other non-French were treated differently. I would only recommend this hotel to French friends and for the great cusine.
Location, landscape works outside: full of dust impossible to use terrasse for breakfast

I took a break from writing this chapter because I wasn't sure of it when I first wrote it and then time got away from me. I had a friend move in with me and I've been helping him with stuff. A few days ago I opened the file for this chapter and re-read through and did some edits, finished it up and can finally post it. The last scene isn't 100 percent with me, but it's not too bad either. I've kept you guys waiting way too long. But no matter how long it takes I plan to finish this. And I miss you guys too much when I'm away for so long!
I've also been working on trying to find a website I can use to move my blog over. I think I finally found one that I can use to archive my stories and other articles neatly. Also been wanting to try to use my facebook page more, so if interested in bugging me on it go to the link in my profile here. Much love!
So here's chapter 20. Enjoy! (And for some of the requests people have made for this chapter, sorry I couldn't try to work some stuff in, but I had already had it mostly written before I got the reviews, which I am always so thankful for.)
Oh, welcome new fans! Its nice to have you aboard.
Chapter XX
Never Could Have Been Worse
"You get in more trouble than anyone I have ever had the displeasure to meet."
Keene had vanished in between the time he had knocked Scarlet into a short, unwanted nap, and when she had woken up. The sadistic bastard was probably somewhere close by though, watching her dangle helplessly. Throughout the night she had wracked her brain, attempting to come up with some sort of plan that ended with her taking his head off. Of course, she would have to get down first, and it looked like that wasn't happening any time soon. She had tried to reach where she had been tied, but she was weak in this position, weaker than the gravity that forced her to remain almost completely straight upside down.
First she had held out that Neil would come to her rescue, but as the hours ticked by she was sure that he had seen her hanging up there and realized just what a failure the mission had been and he'd gone back about his business. Who was she to him except for some random human Marcus had sent? It was a depressing thought that despite how hard she had worked her ass off for their kind that she would just be so easily discarded.
At this point she was certain she was getting some kind of brain damage because she was beginning to have hallucinations. No, scratch that, one very vivid and annoying hallucination. "Why don't you go haunt someone else, you big jerk?" Scarlet muttered, peering up and the man who was leaning against the tower just a few feet away from her, smoking a cigarette.
"Now, is that anyway to talk to your old friend, doll?"
"I don't know what's worse, that out of everyone I could have possibly started to imagine my brain digs up you or that I'm imagining shit in the first place." She knew which one really bothered her more, but she wasn't going to say it out loud. To be honest, the silence had been the worst part of hanging here. If it had been Vulpes, or Arcade, or Julie, or hell even Caesar, she would have just rolled with it and accepted it. However, having the dead chairman loitering about reminding her just how big she fucked up was just getting on her nerves.
Benny dropped his cigarette to the ground and put it out with his foot, his brows knitting as he watched her. "You know, I'm going to ignore your foul mood and take it as you're just upset because of what Keene did to you."
"Yes, because having a dead man hanging out with you wouldn't upset me at all." Scarlet fumed. "If you're going to be here why don't you be useful?"
"Sorry, no can do." He held up his arms in a hands-off gesture. "That's off limits."
"Mostly because you're not real."
"Now you're just hurting my feelings."
Scarlet dropped back into what she reluctantly called a relaxed position, causing her to swing a bit back and forth. "Whatever."
Benny crouched in front of her and she swore that he actually blocked out the sun. But that couldn't be possible because he was just a figment of her imagination. "Don't look so defeated; I don't really like that look on you."
"What else am I supposed to do? At some point that bastard nightkin is going to get tired of watching me squirm and come kill me. There's no way down and no one knows I'm here. It looks pretty bleak here, Benny." Yeah, she was pretty fucked and she had accepted that she might not make it out of this one. Scratch that: wouldn't make it out of this one. "Why do you care anyway?"
"Oh, because you killed me, right." Benny crossed his arms over his knees thoughtfully. "I don't hold that against you. You had to do it. I could tell you didn't want to. Plus, you took care of House, so I guess I owe you for that."
"I didn't want to do that either." Scarlet wasn't above admitting when she had made a mistake. House needed to be out of the way, but now the thought that she had killed not just one but two people for the Legion was a weight on her mind. She had tried to ignore that feeling for a while, that cold sensation that if her Dad were here he would be clearly disappointed in her choices. Or maybe that was just her conscience. She had never hurt anyone before that wasn't trying to actively kill her before becoming wrapped up in the war for the Mojave.
"Then why did you?" Benny was starting to sound like a goddamned therapist. It made Scarlet want to punch him in the fucking nose.
Instead she just let out an irritated breath and ignored the question, once more glancing up to examine the bonds that held her there.
The Chairman stood back up and went back to his previous position. Scarlet tried to make sure he didn't see that her eyes followed his movements. She noted the shadow that had fallen over her had disappeared. I'm so far gone that my brain is convincing my senses this is real. It was amazing how quickly one's mind could go when in a situation like this. "He's not going to let you die, kiddo."
"Excuse me?"
Benny pretended not to hear her and continued, "I've done some pretty crazy things in my life – some of them awful, as you know – but I never did anything for love. I'm assuming you love him."
Scarlet didn't have to even guess what he was talking about. "Now I know that you're a hallucination. The real Benny would have never said something so retarded."
Benny smiled. It was a queer sort of smile that barely touched his lips but shone brightly and knowingly in his eyes. It was soft and somewhat kind and a little mischievous all at the same time. Scarlet didn't want to look at his anymore and made like she was scanning the camp. When she looked back at where Benny had been standing he was gone.
"That's right, asshole, run away again. You're really good at that."
In the back of her mind she imagined she could hear him laughing.
Vulpes Inculta didn't know how or why Scarlet had managed to find herself atop Black Mountain. He was sure that she was going to try to tell him all about the bleeding heart scheme that led her here when she was freed, but frankly he didn't give a shit what it was. He was in the mood to throttle the life out of her the second those super mutants were dead. He had given her an order and she had disobeyed. What did you expect, Vulpes, really, he told himself, she's from the world of profligates. Logic doesn't seem to be a strong trait amongst them.
"Sir, the men are in position." The leader of the raiding party almost appeared out of nowhere in a crouch beside him. Vulpes could tell by the expression on his face that he was wondering why they were here. They were aware of the Courier's importance to the Legion, to some degree, but this should have been a sign that maybe she wasn't as resourceful as originally thought. If one of their own men had gotten themselves in a mess like this they would have left him to rot. How was he supposed to explain the complexity of this situation? Especially without looking like a fool.
I should have chained her up before I left. He meant it.
"Good," Vulpes replied, "on my order we destroy everything on this mountain except for the Courier. Beware of the pockets of radiation, and where possible, avoid them." They had their natural remedies for radiation sickness, but they weren't well stocked and what they had they usually withheld for their special teams.
Vulpes laid a hand on Rex's back, considering the events that had led them here. Rex had spared no time showing Vulpes where his Mistress was trapped, and Vulpes knew he had to act quickly as soon as he saw Keene amongst the mutants milling about the area. He had always had a feeling that he would prove to be a problem for the Courier despite her convictions that he was fairly harmless even though they argued. It would take someone like Scarlet to think that a nightkin could act in a rational manner.
It didn't take long to get the raid team ready for another mission, and though they were tired from the attack on Charlie they were true Legionaries and ready for battle no matter what. They didn't complain when he gave the order to march out and head for Black Mountain. True to the end. It did not sit well with him that these men had to put their lives on the line because Scarlet had disobeyed him. He hoped that she would realize the severe error in judgment she had made. If she didn't then he was certain he would make sure she learned it.
Going in immediately had been out of the question. The mutants had been worked up from whatever had occurred during the Courier's capture and Vulpes even saw some of them dragging the deceased bodies of others out to an unknown location. He didn't want to consider what beasts like this did with their dead. The more he watched them, the more differences he could pick out between these and the mutants that Scarlet had befriended in Jacobstown. They weren't as bright and seemed to have no discernable structure outside of listening to the strange looking leader and Keene.
But the sun was high in the sky now and the mutants seemed to be returning to what he assumed was their regular routines. Many disappeared completely, likely sleeping or attending to other business away from the main camp. With their numbers small this would be the best time to attack. Even if others arrived after the fighting started it would be too late to make a difference and they would take them out, one after the other. He didn't doubt that there would be injuries on his side, however.
Vulpes motioned to the closest soldier and vacated his hiding spot, as did the others. He leveled the rifle in his hands at the first mutant, it's back still turned, unaware that an assault had just begun, and fired. It didn't instantly kill the creature, but a second quick shot proved to be fatal as its head was torn into bits. Others, hearing the shot turned to the interlopers.
"The battle-cattle are attacking!"
Vulpes lips curled into a sinister smile. This fight shouldn't be happening, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to enjoy every minute of it. Cleansing this world of filth was his life's work and he took pride in his job.
All Scarlet wanted was a drink of water. At this point even the irradiated stuff would have been acceptable. A long time ago, in a much different life she vaguely recalled her mother telling her about how long someone could live without water; it hadn't been very long. She wondered if she was near that point yet, or if her bleak attitude was making time seem longer. How far the mighty have fallen, huh?
"Regretting poking your nose in business that isn't yours, human?" Keene had seemed to amble out of nowhere to appear right before her. And I'm losing my ability to keep track of my surroundings…
Scarlet pretended to think about the question for a few seconds before replying, "Not yet. Although I do want to lodge a complaint about the service here. It's atrocious and I don't think I shell be returning."
"Still so arrogant." Keene sneered. "Do you think you're going to be rescued?"
Scarlet went to shrug and found the action awkward from the position she was in, but she managed it anyway. "Didn't actually consider it this time." It was true. Part of her had already accepted that she was likely not making it out of this situation, although she was unsure why she wasn't panicking yet. Maybe she didn't have it in her to care anymore.
That apparently wasn't the answer that Keene had been looking for. He remained quiet for a moment as if he was considering something and then decided to go forth with his plan. "That's unfortunate then, since I wanted so much to take that away from you myself. No matter. At least this gives me peace of mind." Keene nodded at another mutant, who then stepped forward to toss something onto the ground. At first Scarlet couldn't figure out what it was, but as the dawning horror melted on her face Keene smirked in only a way insane nightkin could smirk, "Found your partner sneaking around. Tabitha didn't think he was a threat, and he might not have been for her, but he's a spy for Marcus so I took care of him."
Neil. Neil's head. That's what the other mutant had dropped. Scarlet felt sick. This was her fault. If Keene hadn't been willing to go so far to take her down then this wouldn't have happened, and now there was nothing that she could do to erase what had happened. She had finally given up on testing the fates and actually try to survive in this world and it seemed that this was exactly what the powers that me had been waiting for.
"Finally, speechless."
No, this was the moment that Scarlet would give up. "I'm done. You win. No one else dies, do you understand?" All the humor and pretense was gone from her voice. The verbal baiting was over, the mind games. Keene had stolen the victory, and in a way that made Scarlet feel like shit for even considering playing.
"Except you."
"Except me."
Keene took this as a satisfactory conclusion to events and reached up to lift the Courier off of the hook holding her immobile. He dropped her onto the ground and she managed to wiggle up into a sitting position; quite a feat considering both her ankles and wrists were tied. Even though there was no way she could run like this she decided not to even try. Even if she did escape he would find other ways to torture her. Maybe he would kill Marcus and take over Jacobstown or track down Vulpes and smash his head in just because he'd seen them traveling together. She wasn't going to let anyone else become collateral damage.
Scarlet closed her eyes and waited for the killing blow.
It never came.
Two gunshots.
Her eyes snapped opened just in time to hear a mutant or a nightkin (she couldn't tell which was which when they spoke) screaming about 'battle-cattle.' What the hell were battle-cattle? Keene was just as shocked by this sudden cry as she was, but as he turned to glower down at her she knew that at least he was aware of what they were. "You! You did this!" The confusion must have been evident on her face, but that didn't matter to Keene, who pointed at the mutant standing beside him, "take her somewhere and don't let her escape." With that he was gone.
Scarlet took this as her chance. She edged beneath the guard tower where she had been hanging to escape the reach of the mutant left behind with her. She kicked with both of her bound feet at his head when he tried to get through the crisscrossed metal. As she backed up she found a broken piece of metal jutting out and started working at the rope around her wrists. It was tough going especially since she had to keep kicking at the mutant. But suddenly her wrists came free and she grabbed a rock and swung it at its head. It hit the creature's temple and it roared. In that moment she untied her feet and weaved through the metal struts until she came out the back.
By this time the mutant at the top of the guard tower with some sort of missile launcher was taking aim at whoever was attacking Black Mountain. Scarlet climbed up the side and looked out over the battlefield to see what was going on. Relief swelled in her chest as she recognized the uniforms on the men fighting the mutants. Legion!
She hoisted herself over the edge of the guard tower just in time to catch the launcher-wielder unawares. She grabbed a rifle leaning against the railing and fired. As it tried to spin around to attack her she leveled one good kick at its off-balance form and sent it screaming over the edge. It wasn't very high, but it would be enough of a fall to stun it for a few moments. Scarlet hauled the missile launcher up and slung it over the fence.
Before the mutant could recover and come after her she slid back down off the guard tower and raced off with the rifle over her shoulder. However, something in the crowd caught her eye and she stopped with such abruptness that it was as if something in her brain just shut off at the mere sight of it. No, it can't be. Benny had been a hallucination driven by severity of her situation, but now she no longer felt that. Yet there was his signature checkered coat. He seemed to go unnoticed by all combatants, all but her. As soon as she fully had him in view he strolled off into the battle. Sometime he was visible, sometimes he wasn't. That didn't stop her from following him, driven by an urge she couldn't explain. Each step brought her closer to him, and finally she reached out, close enough to touch. In that moment he vanished and instead, in his place –
"Vulpes!" If there hadn't been a bloody battle going on around them she could have thrown her arms around him and held on with everything she had. At his side, fighting as bravely and as ruthless was Rex. Thank god he's safe!
The Frumentarius jerked his head to look at her, obviously shocked to see her so close. The shock transformed into relief, and then to anger. He ducked under the swung of a mutant, who was taken straight into the firing line of another Legionary, and grabbed Scarlet by the arm and hauled her through the chaos until they were between two buildings, mostly safe from crossfire and the sight line of enemies. He pulled her down next to him. "What the hell were you thinking?"
"Vulpes, I'm sorry—" Scarlet's happy reunion had become the equivalent of a parent scolding their child for a monumentally stupid act. She felt ashamed despite knowing the full story of why she had to come out here. Somehow, she realized, she knew that Vulpes would neither care nor agree.
Vulpes held up his hand, "later. For now you STAY! HERE!" He punctuated each word with a finger pointing the ground where she knelt. "Rex, stay." He looked at the animal and motioned to Scarlet. "Guard her." He reached over and patted Rex's head quickly before he rose and disappeared back into the din. He hadn't even given her the chance to speak at all. Even though she knew she could aid in the battle now that she had a weapon she didn't dare chance that with Vulpes looking so pissed off.
"I think I'm in trouble, boy." She told Rex, who just laid down with his head in his paws and whined. Yep. In trouble. Even the damned dog knew it.
The mutants might have had brawn on their side, but it meant nothing when going up against Caesar's highly trained soldiers. If the NCR had wanted they could have taken this place easily. That realization made her furious that they had sent her to take care of this on her own rather than spare a small contingency for an afternoon, especially when this place had been such a danger to travelers and NCR caravans. As important as they claimed that she was to their endeavors they sure as hell liked to send her into situations where she would likely be killed. Yet, here she was, waiting for a Legion officer to return to her side after he'd brought his own men to rescue her. She would have laughed at that if she wasn't so fucking tired.
It could have been forever or just five minutes, but the fighting began to die down, the ground littered with corpses and splattered with the blood of nightkin and mutants. There was one particular area where a group of Legion soldier had found a good position and held it without one enemy breaching their circle of fire.
Finally a shadow blocked her view and Vulpes stood above her, his uniform splashed with a red just slightly darker than its normal color. He reached down a hand and she took it without argument and he pulled her to her feet. "They're all dead. All the ones that didn't run, that is." He told her, tone short and businesslike.
The air around them was tense, as if his rage was a beast unto itself, formless, deadly. Like the radiation that encircled Black Mountain. Scarlet said nothing.
"Do you have any idea what you've done? What do you not understand about stay put until I come back?" His slender fingers gripped her chin and yanked her face to look at him. The ferocity in his eyes cut her gaze like a knife. "Do you think that this entire thing is a game?" Scarlet opened her mouth, but Vulpes continued, "and before you even think of trying to crack a joke, look at me and tell if it I am in a jesting mood?"
"I'm sorry."
Without warning Vulpes released her chin and slapped her across the face. She grabbed the throbbing cheek with a cry of surprise. Vulpes wasn't finished yet. "I have one man out there with a broken arm and another with broken ribs. Go tell them that you're sorry. They shouldn't have had to come here and save you. You're supposed to be our ace in the hole, not our burden to bear!"
"I meant to stay on the Strip, I did, but then Crocker needed me to—"
Crocker's name was like a whip that struck Vulpes somewhere unpleasant. His face melted into disbelief and his voice dropped to a dangerous octave. "You threw what I told you out the window because the NCR lapdog wanted you to go on a suicide mission?"
"It wasn't—"
"It wasn't a mild suggestion to stay home!" Vulpes raised his hand again and Scarlet was certain he would strike her again, but instead he just lowered it slowly, as if he was having a hard time controlling himself. His hand shook, either from rage or the aftereffects of adrenaline leaving his body. "You made me look like a fool." Even his voice quavered. "You're supposed to be under my supervision. Do you know how this makes me look to my men?"
"I'll take the responsibility for it."
"Don't you see? You don't get to take the responsibility for this, because I'm the one in charge of you. Do you think they understand the subtle nuances, the complexity of this ally-ship with you? Caesar tasked me with it because I could and I did. You'll be lucky if he doesn't revoke the agreement between the two of you and force you to make a choice now." He took a deep breath. "At least look thoroughly punished when we go out there."
"That shouldn't be too hard." Scarlet replied, still rubbing her cheek.
The Legion didn't immediately leave Black Mountain. Some of the men were wounded and were taken to one of the tents nearby that Vulpes deemed a temporary aid station. It seemed like multiple soldiers had some sort of medic training. Scarlet offered her own services at first, but Vulpes was insistent upon keeping her by his side from that moment on. She stayed silent as he discussed plans to have a special team come and take possession of the place. The NCR hadn't put in any effort for the place and it would make a decent base of operations for a small contingency of Legion forces.
Scarlet didn't disagree with that choice. It would actually make a good place to set up if you could avoid the pockets of heavy radiation. The special team Vulpes spoke of was probably one with the training and ability to find these pockets. As Vulpes lined out the plans she stroked Rex's fur in an attempt to get her mind off of the events that had just unfolded. She had no idea how she was supposed to tell Marcus she got someone killed.
As night began to fall one of the soldiers came over. "Sir, we have a problem in one of the buildings. There is a door that is locked and we're pretty sure that someone's inside."
Vulpes' eyes flickered over to Scarlet, silently asking her if she knew who it was. She shook her head. "I heard that the leader, Tabitha, has a prisoner here." She answered, remembering what Neil had told her before she started her journey up the mountain.
"We'll be right there." He got to his feet and motioned for her to follow.
She grabbed his arm and whispered, "you might want to have your men leave when we open the door. It's supposed to be a ghoul. I know how the Legion is with that."
Vulpes looked irritated that she was asking for a favor but waved her off in agreement. At least he could still reason.
When they got inside Vulpes looked at his men, "go take a break. You all deserve it."
Without question they filed out. When they were gone he inquired if she knew how to get inside. "Let me see." She wasn't that great with technology. After a few minutes of examining the lock she spotted a working computer terminal and went to see if it was linked to the door. What she found was a series of diary-like entries from who she assumed was the prisoner. The more she read the more amused she was. At the end it talked about a code for the door and she read it out to Vulpes.
Vulpes pressed the door control and as soon as it opened he was staring into the barrel of a gun. Vulpes went for his own weapon and Scarlet had to jump up and grab his arm. "Wait! Hey, everyone calm down! Its safe."
Inside was Tabitha's prisoner. One ghoul mechanic. Check. "Humans." He muttered. "Here I thought someone had decided to overthrow Tabitha." He put the gun away, but seemed to watch Vulpes warily, obviously taking in his uniform.
"I'm Scarlet." The Courier stepped forward, extending a hand. "And this handsome brute is Vulpes."
"You're the one that new nightkin was after." The ghoul said, "It seems his plan failed." He took Scarlet's hand after a moment of thought.
"You knew?"
"I hear things." The ghoul told her, "I'm Raul Tejada."
"Pleased to meet you." Scarlet smiled.
"I don't think your friend agrees." Raul nodded at Vulpes, who had gone to sit at one of the chairs, looking pretty exhausted.
"Yeah, he's a little mad at me right now. Don't worry about him though. He's a friend of mine."
"Friends with a Legionary?" Raul was both curious and amused at this.
"Long story."
"I would imagine it is."
"What are we going to do with him?" Vulpes interrupted. "He's seen you with us. You know what that means, Scarlet."
"No!" Scarlet spun. "That's unnecessary. He probably doesn't even know who I am."
"I can't take that chance." Vulpes had his hand on his weapon.
Scarlet went to protest, but the ghoul was already speaking in his own defense. "I've been through Caesar's territory. You boys do a fine job keeping the riff-raff off the roads. Wish the NCR was as good at that as you are. Might not be in this situation."
Vulpes narrowed his eyes at him, thinking.
"I'm not saying I'm a friend," Raul continued, "but I'm not an enemy either. None of this is my business." He held up his hands.
"Vulpes, please. I can't take anymore bloodshed today." Scarlet begged. She was being truthful. Getting Vulpes to agree not to kill Raul wouldn't make up for Neil, but it go a long way to salvage her state of mind.
"How do I explain to my men that we're making a philanthropic gesture towards someone of no interest to us, a ghoul no less?"
"Say he's a friend of mine." Scarlet said. "Say he's the reason I came up here. Makes me an emotional, but loyal sort to them." Which was true. "Takes some of the blame off you and everyone's happy."
The look on Vulpes' face told her that everyone would be happy except him. "If I am asked about it then I will say so, but I won't offer lies to my men."
"That's why I like you, Vulpes Inculta. You're so damned honorable." She grinned and rubbed his shoulder in appreciation.
"Tonight, the two of you stay in here. Tomorrow, I take you back to the stripe where you will stay or so help me…"
"You won't have to worry about that."
"Make sure I don't."
So I finally have Raul in here! Been waiting so long for this chapter. Next chapter, Scarlet, Vulpes, Rex, and Raul head toward the Strip as Scarlet deals with disappointing Vulpes.
Until then, thoughts on this chapter?

Video Transcript:
The Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham, ISIS, an al Qaeda-related group that is a principal extremist actor in the Syrian civil war and ongoing Iraqi insurgency, seized parts of Ramadi and Fallujah in Iraq on Jan. 3. Rather than viewing this as a fundamental power shift between ISIS and Baghdad's security forces, however, it should be seen as a temporary victory.
Tensions between Baghdad and the Sunni tribes of Anbar province have been simmering through most of last year and boiled over on Dec. 30 when President Maliki ordered a Sunni protest camp to be dismantled by security forces. The arrest of a local senior Sunni politician led to clashes severe enough to prompt Maliki to withdraw security forces from the region in an effort to de-escalate the situation. It was this security vacuum that ISIS used to seize territory in both cities.
It is one thing to grab territory, especially if it is predominantly uncontested, and quite another to hold it against a concerted military operation mounted by the Iraqi security forces. Sources in Iraq claim that roughly 300 ISIS fighters remain in Ramadi while 800 or so are entrenched in Fallujah. While the urban terrain will give ISIS fighters a serious combat boost as the established defenders against the better equipped Iraqi security forces, they won't have the numbers or ability to hold indefinitely.
ISIS survives in Iraq by being an insurgent group, avoiding direct confrontation and hiding and moving through the population. This territory grab in Ramadi and Fallujah gives them an address, alleviating the Iraqi security forces of one of their most difficult missions of just finding ISIS. Now they can actually concentrate force, and if executed correctly, degrade sizable chunks of combat power in detail.
The withdrawal of U.S. troops and their allies at the end of 2011 and the outbreak of the Syrian civil war next door has given ISIS the ability to rebound into a capable regional actor, but at the same time their aggressiveness has them overcommitted, outgunned and alienated on multiple fronts. Other rebel groups in Syria have started serious infighting with ISIS recently after they became disillusioned with their actions and have attacked several units despite the advantage this gives to the Assad regime.
This leaves the recent Fallujah and Ramadi seizures likely to be temporary at best. The only serious complicating factor for the Iraqi security forces is moderating their use of force so as not to antagonize the Sunni tribes further. While these tribes might covertly support ISIS or turn a blind eye to their actions against the Maliki government, they do not want to be drawn into an open civil war. Many of the tribes in Anbar have already come out in support of the government forces, with just a few throwing their lot in with ISIS.
ISIS's ultimate goal is to destabilize Iraq to the point where they can accomplish their ultimate aim of a regional Islamic Emirate. They can only accomplish this if they can unite a sizable portion of the Sunni population into a sectarian civil war through their own actions or by provoking the Shiite government into actions that accomplish the same. Without this, they will come up short.

That noise in the background isn't so much a carnival organ as it is a vocal chorus, but it probably doesn't matter, since the circus is about to begin. Or maybe more accurately, the midway has already opened for business, with one Hall of Fame member (Fran Tarkenton) and one self-promoter who probably thinks he ought to be enshrined in Canton (Joe Theismann) suggesting on Tuesday that, only four winless games into the campaign, it is time for a quarterback change in Minnesota.
In Dallas, another Hall of Famer, Deion Sanders, dissed Tony Romo.
Tim Tebow supporters in Denver have erected billboards, angling for the Broncos' brass to bench Kyle Orton and replace him with the former Heisman Trophy winner.
Even before Chad Henne sustained a shoulder injury that could end his season, the critics in Miami were calling for the hook. There have been some rumblings in Seattle that coach Pete Carroll should try backup Charlie Whitehurst, who won the 2010 season finale that catapulted the Seahawks into the playoffs, over Tarvaris Jackson.
In several league precincts, it seems, starting quarterbacks aren't just under siege from voracious pass rushers.
But it takes more than catcalls for a coach to switch starting quarterbacks, even if the number of changes not related to injuries has increased the past three years.
By nature, the change at the game's most conspicuous position is anything but trivial, most head coaches acknowledge. And it takes more deliberation and introspection to change quarterbacks than to enact depth chart moves at other positions.
"You want to do what's best for the team, always, but you really have to think it out and go over all the (ramifications)," allowed Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio, who swapped out starter Luke McCown for rookie first-round draft choice Blaine Gabbert only two games into this season. "It isn't easy."
As noted, the league has witnessed an increase the last few seasons in quarterback changes promulgated for reasons other than just attrition. Coaches under pressure to win quickly, and the duress of having owners closely scrutinize their investments in the sideline bosses, have been quicker to go to the bullpen.
There were nine quarterback changes in 2010 that were not injury-related. Over the past three seasons, there were 22. That certainly seems to represent a change in the traditional approach toward the quarterback position, and it probably augurs that, beyond Del Rio's decision to turn to Gabbert, there figure to be more such changes in store for 2011.
Certainly, injuries will add to the body count, as they always do. But there will be a few teams, too, that conclude the future has waited long enough, and reach for new starting quarterbacks.
Not, though, without some soul-searching.
"You always worry about the dynamics but, probably more important, the message that it sends to your team," allowed one coach who made a quarterback change last season that was not tied to an injury. "In your mind, you're making a switch because, in theory, it's going to improve the performance at the position. But in the minds of some players, I'm sure, it's seen as running up the white flag. You've really got to be careful with it."
The timeline for the change in Jacksonville is a somewhat incongruous one. The consensus is that Del Rio has to win this season to retain his job for 2012, and conventional wisdom was that he would favor the veteran McCown, seemingly his best chance for a solid season. To his credit, Del Rio made the switch, even if it might mean that the embattled coach is grooming Gabbert for his eventual successor.
Other coaches might not be so hasty to implement a change, but the recent history suggests that a few more are coming.
So far, in the first four weeks of the season, only two teams have had more than one starting quarterback. One of the changes, with Curtis Painter replacing Kerry Collins in Indianapolis last week, was because of injury. But as the season proceeds, and a few more teams drop out of contention, the number of switches that are based on performance and not injury, will increase.
As the season moves forward, that tune is only going to get louder.

Rising costs: The price of fish and chips may soar by 50 per cent
As if soaring fuel prices were not bad
enough, they may soon affect a great British institution - the fish supper.
The cost of fish and chips could rise by up to 50 per cent because of rising fuel costs, a government body warned today.
The Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) said rises in the price of diesel used to power fishing vessels would have a "significant effect" on the cost of fish over the next 12 to 18 months as trawlermen struggle to break even.
Research by the non-departmental body found the increase was likely to be between seven per cent and 50 per cent, with an average price hike of 23 per cent.
The cost of fuel for trawlers has already increased from 31p to 60p per litre in the last year, Seafish said.
This is expected to increase further as analysts predict crude oil prices could rise to £101 per barrel.
"We are now seeing a complete change in the cost of bringing the catch to market," said Philip MacMullen, head of environment at Seafish.
"There's a lot we can do to try to mitigate cost increases, including looking at different fishing methods and improvements to gear technology.
"Nonetheless, consumers must be prepared for significant increases in the cost of seafood if we are to continue to have a viable catching, processing and distribution sector in the UK."
Fuel-efficient measures being adopted by fishermen include the use of static nets.
But Mr MacMullen said consumers were going to have to accept that some fish price increases were "inevitable".
He added: "It's also likely that if current trends continue we will see fishing effort decrease overall, and, possibly, the number of boats fishing in UK waters decline as it may become too expensive to put out to sea."
Mike Park, of the Scottish White Fish Producer's Association, said: "We are a high user of fuel and are extremely dependent on it, so its price can create an Achilles' heel for us.
"In some cases, fuel is currently 50 per cent of operating costs, which is a huge amount.
"The cost of fuel is already a big problem but it has the potential to be a massive problem to the industry.
"One way round that is for the price of fish to rise."
David Audley, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers and a fish-and-chip shop proprietor, said: "We are in a situation where the price of all food is going up for various reasons.
"However, fish and chips have always remained competitive and I trust it will stay that way.
"One of the advantages we have is that when restaurant prices rise, fish and chip takeaways become an alternative for consumers.
"We are all concerned that prices are going up, as business people and consumers.
"But at the end of the day, people have to eat."

A long time ago – we're talking way back in the 1990s – Led Zeppelin released BBC SESSIONS, a two-disc set feature live recordings from the band's appearances on BBC radio between 1969 and 1971. It was, as you might recall, very well received by fans and critics alike, earning rave reviews and racking up double-platinum sales figures. But here's the thing: if you picked up a copy back then or, indeed, at any point since then, we've got some news for you: you can now unofficially refer to it as THE ALMOST-COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS.
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. This is the latest to get that treatment.
During the course of her career to date, Madonna has released a handful of best-of collections. The first was 1990's brilliantly-titled THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, a set which earned an official sequel in 2001 when GHV2was released, and in 2009 she issued CELEBRATION, a two-disc, 36-track retrospective which received near-universal acclaim.
When the Traveling Wilburys first came together, the amount of ink dedicated to the all-star group was likely enough to fill a few thousand swimming pools, and deservedly so, given the amount of star power within the group's lineup. Yes, the late '80s was a glorious time for all-star collaborations, which is why we want to make sure that you haven't forgotten about another highly-impressive partnership which took place only a year earlier within the world of country music: Trio, an all-star collective featuring Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

Two months ago, everything went to hell. What should have been a routine monster hunt ended with a demon in my living room. He killed one of my best friends that night and I still don't understand why. Now I've got a lead on the wizard who summoned up my demonic trouble from the Nether and nothing in this world or any other will keep me from hunting him down. But the College has put the rest of the bounty hunters on the job and barred me from joining in! This won't be easy, but I like hard just fine. Even the little information I've been able to uncover is suspicious as hell. To find my answers and some measure of justice, I'll have to face my own demons – and considering I'm half succubus, that's saying something. This and all Lily Quinn stories contain graphic depictions of sexual acts. Lots of them.

Kim Kardashian won the coveted Woman of the Year Award at the GQ Awards, and what a fitting title it was for the 34-year-old.
The reality TV star was famous in 2013, but she catapulted herself to further stardom this year when she married her beau Kanye West wearing a Givenchy Haute Couture dress in front of a wall of flowers in Florence, graced the front cover of US Vogue, launched her Kim Kardashian: Hollywood app, and drew attention away from the catwalks at Paris Fashion Week as she took to the FROW and was targeted by red carpet prankster Vitalii Sediuk.
She left us open mouthed as she writhed around on satin sheets wearing only a pair of stilettos for a GQ shoot, before bearing her oiled up derrière for that #breaktheinternet Paper magazine cover.
But when she wasn't breaking the internet she was making a fortune from her app, keeping her 26.5 million Twitter followers updated, trying to adopt a child from Thailand, squeezing her behind in to countless pencil skirts, and stepping out in ever more revealing neck lines.
