Prairie (プレリー Purerī) is a character in the Mega Man ZX video game. She is the current leader of the Guardians, having the position since the original leader disappeared. The Guardians take in people on a voluntary basis to defend "Frontier" areas from Mavericks and discover what causes these outbreaks. They are considered an unofficial part of Slither Inc. and their headquarters is the giant airship known as "Guardian HQ".
Prairie took command of the Guardians after the original leader (who was revealed as Ciel) went missing after an investigation of an "Outlands" area involving the appearing Maverick attacks. At the start of Mega Man ZX, she hired the Giro Express to transport the Biometals "Model X" and "Model Z".
It is revealed in the game that Prairie is over 100 years old (yet she looks like she's only 13-14 years old), as she was present when she saw Ragnarok breaking apart in the atmosphere or when she sees Zero and Ciel going to fight a swarm of Mavericks, and later during the time of the Models' first discovery. It is also hinted that Prairie may be Alouette from the original Mega Man Zero games herself (due to her stuffed doll, which Alouette always carried, and her reference to the original leader as 'Sis', which Alouette always used for Ciel). Also, after defeating Prometheus when he and Pandora attack Guardian HQ in Mega Man ZX, he says "Oh, you know her? Well then you must not be of this time either... Haha... What an interesting little connection you two have!" when she reveals that she knew the woman who created the Biometals.[1] This adds more support to the theory that she may be Alouette.
Mega Man ZX
In Aile's storyline, Prairie is hinted to have fallen in love with Girouette, being said that Giro reminded her of someone she knew before (an obvious reference to Zero)[2], while in Vent's, it has been hinted that she starts to like Vent a bit also. Also, in Aile's storyline, players can see Ciel once they have finished eight missions.
Mega Man ZX Advent
In Advent, Vent/Aile bring the Guardian HQ in to invade Ouroburos, calling it their airship. Prairie does not appear. It isn't explained what happened to her, but Vent/Aile mentions losing a lot of friends fighting Model W, possibly suggesting Prairie was missing, leaving Guardian HQ to them.
- Her name means "meadow" in French.
- Prairie's Japanese voice actor, Ryō Hirohashi, also voiced Alouette.
- If Prairie is really Alouette, then she is the only surviving Mega Man Zero character to be left with an actual physical body (Zero, X, Dr. Weil and the Four Guardians are Biometals, and Omega is a memory file in Area N-1). This excludes Ciel, as she has disappeared. It would also mean that she is 200+, because the ZX series is set 200 years after the Mega Man Zero series.
- In Prairie's room, there's Ciel's winter coat, pictures of Zero, Ciel and Alouette, and dolls of every Cyber-elf. Also, the video screen in her room depicts a scene from Mega Man Zero 2 when Zero and Ciel talk.
- When a Pseudoroid is defeated with a Level 4 victory, a doll of that Pseudoroid will appear hanging from the ceiling in Prairie's room.
- ↑ Mega Man ZX Script
- ↑ Prairie: Aile, I know it's a little late for this, but... I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you about Giro and his mission to watch over you. Please believe me
when I say that we didn't want to deceive you. Giro's face always lit up so much when he talked about you... Giro... He loved you very much.
Aile: Prairie, did you have feelings for him...?
Prairie: W-what!?
Aile: Hahaha! Maybe Giro resembles someone you cared about. Every time you talk about him, you look so happy. Don't worry, I won't hold it against you if you did like him. It's thanks to all of you that I'm finally able to fight for what's important.

Vera Zvonareva's talent for failing upward deserted her in the semifinals of the WTA Championships, where she had no business being in the first place after having lost two of three singles matches in the round-robin portion of the WTA's marquee event. She was beaten, 6-2, 6-3, by Victoria Azarenka, who will play Petra Kvitova for the title tomorrow.
The great battle here was one of consistency—or lack thereof. Azarenka did a much better job of playing well when she needed to, while Zvonareva reverted to her pre-2010 habits of sabotaging herself—sometimes exactly when she most needed to lift her game.
Prime example: At the brink of elimination in the final game of the match, Zvonareva secured double-break point by virtue of an impressive cross-court forehand winner and deft drop shot. She wasted her first chance with an acceptable backhand error, but followed on with a horrendous backhand service-return error. From deuce, Azarenka won the next two points. For the match, Azarenka saved five of seven break points while breaking Zvonareva five times in two sets.
Zvonareva's inconsistency wasn't entirely a mental issue. Her serve was all over the place, and one of the signature sounds of the match—even Azarenka's banshee shrieks couldn't drown it out—was the "thud" of Zvonareva's racket hitting the court on her follow-through. It wouldn't have been so bad if the ferocious swipe produced a monster serve; but the sound merely underscored the degree to which Zvonareva was out of balance and perhaps going for more than she was able to deliver. Give her points for realizing that she needed to put Azarenka back on her heels; take points away from her for poor execution.
Azarenka was in control throughout the match; she was gifted an early break via a Zvonareva double fault, and she subsequently carved out two more breaks. When a player has as much trouble holding as Zvonareva did, the onus on an opponent to hold is less severe. And, the troubled server can swing from the heels due to her desperate situation. Hence, Azarenka dropped serve twice but still won the first set easily.
The beginning of the second set was competitive. Zvonareva pushed the envelope a bit, as if she would outhit one of the biggest hitters in the WTA. But in the latter part of this year Azarenka has dialed her aggression back a bit, and she made Zvonareva pay for her brave if somewhat reckless strategy. Given that even the more modulated Azarenka tends to be a one-speed player (watching her can be as monotonous as staring at a pneumatic press punching out bottlecaps, although her shriek does serve to keep your eyelids open), Zvonareva might have been better served calling upon her versatility and guile—although, admittedly, neither would have done much good without the requisite consistency.
But that was asking too much of this accidental semifinalist. Zvonareva looked like a tired player with a tattered, wrinkled game by the end. The recently expanded WTA offseason will give her plenty of opportunity to iron out the flaws. Meanwhile, Azarenka and Kvitova will contest the kind of final that seems most appropriate: a match between two hungry, relatively young players.
Note to Azarenka and Kvitova: Serena Williams, Justine Henin and Amelie Mauresmo all went on to win Grand Slam events the year after they first won the WTA Championships.

Let's be merry
First of all, I saved this bag from Nordstrom's because I liked the silver shine to it and thought I'd recycle it. It came in handy for making the silver wreath. I used the fir dies from Poppy stamps to cut out enough to glue around a circle that I had drawn in pencil on the cardstock.
Red satin bow is tied using the Bow Easy and adhered onto the wreath using a glue dot. The red berries are plastic pony beads that I melted in the oven to create my own candy dots. There are several video's tutorials on this on You Tube. Now I have a plethora of different colored dots to play around with!
Cut out a banner using the smallest fishtail die from MFT and stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday in Wild Cherry pigment ink.
Card base is a pure poppy piece of cardstock from PTI.
ETA: also adding this into Less is More week 199 challenge of Jingle all the way/Christmassy.
That's it for now! Thanks for stopping by!

Posted 6/13/12 (Wed)
By Neal A. Shipman
Farmer Editor
A developer, who is planning to bring Coborn's Grocery Store, a Little Dukes convenience store and gas station, as well an ALCO and a McDonald's to Watford City, wants the Watford City City Council to amend its current liquor license ordinance to allow for more than one off-sale liquor license.
During the city council's meeting on Monday, June 4, Joe Ryan, president of the Oppidan Investment Company told the council members that it is critical that he receives an off-sale liquor license for Cash Wise Liquor.
According to Ryan, his investment company already has firm commitments from Coborn's, ALCO and McDonald's to be a part of his development plans in Watford City, which would be located at the corner of Highway 85 and Highway 23. In addition, he is developing the 12-acre parcel to include a hardware store, a car wash and other retail space.
But a city off-sale liquor license is needed to bring a Cash Wise Liquor into the development.
"Cash Wise Liquor is a very critical component of this development," stated Ryan. "The market suggests the need for this business."
But according to council member Wyatt Voll, the ordinance committee, in denying the request for an additional liquor license, was bound by the current city ordinance, which limits the number of off-sale licenses to one license for every 3,000 residents, according to the last available federal census. Based on Watford City's census population of 1,744 residents, the city can only issue one off-sale beer and liquor license.
"Your request for an off-sale liquor license is not out of the ordinary," stated Voll, who chairs the ordinance committee. "But we are bound by the current ordinance. In addition, we've denied other requests for additional off-sale liquor licenses in the past."
But some council members felt that considering the tremendous population growth that the city is witnessing, now may be a good time to consider changing the ordinance.
"It's about fairness," stated council member Kris Pacheco. "Now is the time to look at the ordinance since we've adjusted other ordinances before to adapt to current changes."
But even Pacheco admitted that it is difficult to change ordinances that will protect businesses that currently operate within the city and still provide for growth.
In the past year, the city council has adapted its liquor licensing ordinances to provide for more on-sale licenses for restaurants and motels.
But the council has hesitated to change the number of off-sale liquor licenses beyond one, which is held by the Watford City Community Benefit Association (WCCBA).
"The Watford City Community Benefit Association, which was formed 58 years ago was founded with one purpose," stated Steve Stenehjem, WCCBA secretary-treasurer. "And that purpose was to give back to the community."
According to Stenehjem, what makes the WCCBA unique from other liquor establishments is that it gives all of its profits back to community projects.
"All of the profits of the WCCBA were initially used to pay off the debt of the hospital and the Good Shepherd Home," stated Stenehjem. "Since we were formed we've given out over $600,000 in our profits to help meet the needs of the community."
It was through the donations from the WCCBA, according to Stenehjem, that the McKenzie County Multi-Purpose Building, as well as the Veterans Memorial Building, the Wild West Water Park, and the Connie Wold Wellness Center were possible, to name just a few. In additionally, the WCCBA was instrumental in leading the efforts to make the Long X Visitor Center a reality.
"If you are looking at changing ordinances, we'd like to think you would give consideration to any organization, like the WCCBA, that has given back to the community the past 50 years," stated Stenehjem.
While the city council took no action on Ryan's request, the council did refer the issue back to the ordinance committee.
"We (the committee) will be happy to look at it again," stated Voll. "But I don't know how we're going to do it and keep everyone happy."
In other business, the city council:
• Approved a request from Laura Sanford, Ribfest Committee, that part of Main Street be blocked off and that alcohol be allowed on Main Street during Ribfest on Aug. 10.

|The New hohle.net
|by Jon on Tuesday, July 12, 2016
|file under: Technology
Well, here it is, the new hohle.net. I've put a lot of time and work into this new design, both the backend and the front end. There are a lot of tweaks and changes to just about everything and I thought I'd take some time to over some of the new stuff.
Object Oriented
Almost everything is Object Oriented now. This still needs quite a bit of work, and with PHP 4, there still seems to be a tradeoff between true OO and speed (its faster to work with associative arrays in most cases). I've also included a lot of third-party classes to do some heavy lifting in areas I'm not particularly interested in (ADOdb and NuSOAP).
Smarty Based Templates
I've started using the Smarty templating engine to abstract my pages from my design. So far, this has worked out great. I can build components like the pager at the bottom of this page, and reuse them wherever I need them, like any time I need pagination. Some of the generic components include the pager, and comment sections. This has sped up template building and testing considerably. It also xmade it easier to support multiple RSS and Atom feeds.
Mostly DIV and CSS Layout
All the web design guys are constantly saying how table-based layouts are teh suck, so I took a hint and dropped my tables... well, mostly. I'm still trying to work on a few things, as I'm new to DIV based layouts, but its looking pretty good so far.
I've tried to include tool tips (title tags) on as much stuff as I could find. This should remove any ambiguity for common links. I've tried to take the guess work out of just about everything. Hopefully the site will be simpler and easier in every regard.
Third Party Services
I'm trying my best to have hohle.net bring together the various parts of my online-lifestyle. I've integrated Google search and my Amazon Wishlist. When I sit down to write some caching code, I should be able to get my del.icio.us links up as well.
Live Comments
Comments now post without a page refresh. Even better, if someone comments while your looking at a page, you'll see their comment right away. There's a lot of new code behind the comment section to make comments more fun and keep comment spam away.
In general, I'm really happy with the new look, and the code base. Its not perfect, but it is definitely ready to be used. I may be tweaking things here and there over the next couple months, but the outstanding issues are minor, and an update has been a long time in coming. I hope you like it!

It was a quick knit on 17 needles. To be sure I had the armholes placed correctly. I knit a gauge, then measure the gauge, measured the amount of yarn that the piece took and then figured up how much yarn I needed for the bit between the armholes. It calls for 10 inches between the armholes and it is supposed to be 20 inches long there. So, I knitted a gauge that was 5 inches by 2 inches (I know, a little small for a gauge, but I figured there was a lot of leeway in this pattern). So, my sample was 10 square inches and it used up 5 yards of yarn. Next, I figured up the amount I needed in between the armholes on the pattern was 10 X 20 inches or 200 square inches. Next I needed to figure out how many yards that was so I set up a proportion:
10 in X in / 4 yd = 200 in X in/ L
where L is the number of yards I needed for the middle part.
When I worked it out as 80 yards. I measured this off of my skein of yarn and rolled it into a ball. Now, not knowing if I had used any of the yarn when I knitted my other project for which this yarn was intended, I did not know if I truly had 165 yards remaining so I rolled out the yarn all over the house, doubled it so I could cut it in half, then wound up two balls, one for each front. Crazy I know, but it worked.
When I was done, I wet blocked the piece and it stretched with no work to be the size specified in the directions.
Here is the wrap on me, because almost anything looks good on a dress form, but I want to see it on someone's body. So here you are. You can also check in Ravelry, my user id is ringadal. The back is quite short on me, so next time I would add some stitches to get a longer back, but of course I would also have more yarn. however, I did block it to the size stated in the pattern.

All These Things That I've Done

License This Song

This song is about growing up and moving on from the past, trying to make yourself a better person. It was written by lead singer Brandon Flowers when he was working as a bellman at the Gold Coast casino in Las Vegas. Since this was before cellphones, he would call his friends from work and leave song ideas on their answering machines if inspiration struck.
Like their hit "Mr. Brightside," this song has two videos. The first version has The Killers singing while walking down a London street. The second version was directed by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn, and features a surreal, dreamlike sequence where The Killers, dressed as cowboys, are attacked by scantily clad female warriors armed with boomerangs (possibly inspired by the Russ Meyer film
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Donovan Berry - El Dorado, AR
The Killers often play this as the closer for their concerts, and the lyrics, "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" have become a sing-along moment. Lead singer Brandon Flowers told
Rolling Stone
about the line in 2009: "I can specifically remember being in Ronnie Vannucci's garage when I wrote it that. I don't know why I wrote it, but I know I'd been listening to a lot of U2's
Joshua Tree
All That You Can't Leave Behind
. Some people act like that line is nonsense, and I just don't understand that. If you listen to the song, it makes perfect sense. Our fans get it."
Brandon Flowers says that Lou Reed was a huge influence on this song, as the chorus and the "gotta help me out" part were Flowers imitating Reed's delivery. Three years after recording the song, the Killers teamed up with Reed on "
The song features the Sweet Inspirations gospel vocal group, who were founded by Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney Houston. The Sweet Inspirations sang with Elvis Presley and provided the back up vocals for Van Morrison on his classic hit "
Brown Eyed Girl
" as well as scoring their own Hot 100 top 40 hit in 1968 with "Sweet Inspiration."
According to Flowers, this song's bass line is "a direct rip-off" from the 2002 David Bowie track "Slow Burn."

Salvatore from Usa
Like any song, it's open to interpretation, however, nobody here has the actual meaning of the song.
The song is actually about a record producer/friend of the band. When the Killers were starting out, the producer was asked to see and sign the band.
Before he could make it to the club, his plans were changed. They instead had him going around checking out bands made up of veterans and signing them to the label.
In the mean time, The Killers signed with a different producer (which ended up working well for them).
Several months later, the record producer and Brandon were driving together in Vegas. The producer told him what he was doing, the work with veterans.
That night, their band manager called the producer up and said, "I don't know what you two talked about tonight, but Brandon wrote a song about you." It ended up being "All the things I've done."
Hence, "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier."
The producer is actually currently writing an autobiography that will be out later this year. It's going to be called "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier."
I just really wish I could remember his name.
Kevin from Calgary, Ab
Exactly how I felt before A A
Christy from Derby, United Kingdom
The song is related to a trouble relationship with God and religion. Brandon Flowers stated that the line "i've got soul but I'm not a soldier" means that he has a religious "soul" but is not a Christian "soldier".
Caity from Newcastle, United Kingdom
i love the killers and i love this song its so awsome. all theese things that i have done by the killers! awsome!
Lisa from Santa Cruz, Ca
In the instance that cold hearted boy, could be Gold hearted boy...it seems that he is trying so hard not to be changed by these things around him and that everyone needs to help each other not to be changed.
Lisa from Santa Cruz, Ca
I think every ones ideas are great, but I saw it from a slightly different view: (From the UK Version) "I wanna Stand up I wanna let go, You know You know- No you don't, you don't" I see this as a person wanting to break free, express themselves because they feel they are unable to. There is so much inside that needs to come out but due to the oppression of this act it is hard for people to do this. And it say " You know, you know - No you don't, you don't" People agree and agree, when you try to explain, but this is too personal, it is just himself what he is feeling so no you don't you don't know or understand why he is saying I wanna stand up I wanna let go!
"I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men. I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand" I (and some people) work so hard and for what? What is the meaning of existence? The only meaning we have is the meaning we give and leave for each other. (I think t his part is very philisophical and could keep going on but wont)
I think my 2nd favorite phrase in the song is "Another head aches, another heart breaks, I'm so much older then I can take." Here I see him saying so many things have happened in my life, another, and another, I've been through so much more than I can take, and all of these experiences I have had puts my mental age higher than I am supposed to be. "I'm so much older than I can take"
"My affection well it comes and goes" I am not always going to follow what others are doing and feeling. I can pretend. But what I feel and how I feel towards something is up to me. I do not want to follow every one else.
"I need direction to perfection. No No No No" A reaction to the previous line, because I am not acting like everyone else I need direction to be perfect. I can't just be myself to be perfect. and he says "No No No No" I can be "perfect" (there is no perfect) by being who I want to be, which is himself.
"help me out. Yeah, you know you got to help me out Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out yeah..." He is saying that don't tell me how to act, help me be me. help me out, don't just put me in the background. We need to be helping each other, (in later lyrics he adds to this part "Your gonna bring youself down" this I think refers to people not helping others be themselves are stuck in the trap of confomitly and not originality. Do what everyone else wants from you and that is more important then what you want (NO).
"And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son"
He's been running from these people telling him he needs to change, when everywhere becomes this way, and he is the only one left, will there be room for one more "Son" (It does very much seem like a reference to Jesus) One more person, who tried to fight the temptations.
"These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be"
The changes in this world ain't changing me, I grew out of it "the cold hearted boy I used to be", is the changes it had made him. But now he is not affected by it "These changes ain't changing me".
He goes back into the chorus
"Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out,
Yeah, You're gonna bring yourself down,
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down"
Which I explained earlier. It seems more powerful in the second chorus because you've heard more of how he feels about his surroundings.
Then my favorite part:
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.......
He says it 10 times, starting off all by himself and then slowly adding in everyone around him. Until everyone erupts "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier!!!!" I've got soul: I have ideas, I can do it, I am alive ...here people are together standing up letting go! "But I'm not a soldier" But, I don't fall in line, I don't take orders, I am an individual, I think for myself!
The chorus re appears, this time he is singing for everyone who has stood up and let go with him:
"Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
you're gonna bring yourself down
yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down"
Then he is content. I have made my point, I have given myself meaning. I now have meaning for the back of my broken hand, I shine in the hearts of men. he is done:
"Over and out, last call for sin"
and the very ending:
"While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done"
He has beaten all of those who have become a soldier. All of the things that he has done, he stood up (for himself, and others), he let go! All of these things that are happening around him that are neg. he is able to feel better about because he tried, he didn't accept it for what he was told. he found out for him self so yes "the battle is won, With all these things that I've done"
Main message we need to help each other be who we are and not to keep trying to control each other.
James from Sept-iles, Canada
The song has been used as the soundtrack to an absolutely stunning aviation video of the 2009 Oshkosh Airventure air show. Simply brilliant. Go to the Youtube home page and search for Airventure 2009.
Barb from Philadelphia, Pa
He says "time, truth, hearts". He says it again at 4:25.
Nick from Seattle, Albania
This song is one of the top 5 best songs of this decade. such a great anthem that makes you want to push give it yer all and move forward! the killers rock
Paris from Cardiff, United Kingdom
this is my favourite song ever, I got soul but im not a soldier is such an amazing verse, i love it, the Killers are the best band ever :D
Theresa from Murfreesboro, Tn
After I heard this song on the radio - I had to buy Hot Fuss. So glad I did, it's one of my fave records.
Mar from Mty, Ns
Anyone knows what the songs say at 3:25?
Kylie from Ventura, Ca
This song is wonderful. Brandon has said it's about resisting temptation and that the I've got soul but I'm not a soldier part is about not being perfect.
Logan from Anniston, Al
The Part of "i got soul but i'm not a soilder" is part of a very Inspiring NIKE commercial first aired during the 2008 olympics.
Louise from London, United Kingdom
Love this song, its one that you dont realise has such a deep meaning until you listen to it a few more times and actually listen to the lyrics. Love it though, an amazing band. And Hot Fuss is an amzing album. Anyone agree? :)
Michaela from Camden, Nj
I was glad to see that this wasn't one of the songs that had people arguing over the meaning...The Killers are my favorite band, and this is my favorite song...anyone who's heard it played live would know why...I love the way they leave the interpretation of the song up to the listeners, even if there is a really specific one. Personally, I've always seen it as sort of trying to find yourself, and to think on your own, for yourself...as well as a few of the other things that people have said, I agree with some of them to a certain extent.
Jared from Salt Lake City, Ut
Actually I think this could go back to Brandon's Mormon roots. There is a story in the Book of Mormon that takes place shortly before Christ is born. It is about a group of followers of christ who litterally have no where else to go and if a certain sign is not given they will all be killed the next morning. It seems like this song is kind of like a conversaion with the propeht Nephi in 3 Nephi in the Book of Mormon. The whole I got soul but I am not a solder refers to the fact that he was a pophet not a warrior and he needs help for his people. At the end he is told this is the last call for sin (I come in to the world tomorrow) and the battle is won by Christ Sacrifice (All these things I've Done) Just what I got out of it.
Kate from Burnaby, Canada
Makes me cry every time.
Grant from Chaffee County, Co
This song is actually more relatable to the Erikson stage of Identity Crisis.
When there is no where left to run
(All your ideas and viewpoints, convictions, quality of life are challenged.)
Is there room for one more sun (sometimes son?)
(With the ammount of greatness in the world, to achieve such requires superhuman measures. It's nearly impossible to place yourself into a position of real importance when looking at it from the bottom. The sun being the perhaps the most prominent feature of someone on earth and often referenced in literature or as some have said, "the son" in references to "The Prodigal Son" or in many cultural beliefs that only the firstborn son recieving the wealth of the family line.)
If you can't hold on....
(When it seems nearly impossible to continue doing anything, possibly even living.)
Hold on.
I want to stand up, I want to let go
(Referencing a need to announce your presense to a larger group of people, perhaps the world, in a way that forces attention.)
You know, you know, no you don't...
(Stemming from the belief that most people will have an understanding but when searching, finding only oneself to be truely understanding.)
I want to shine on in the hearts of man.
(Shakespeare wrote something extremely reminiscent of this, and in his time inspired mankind to remember him and -usually- improve themselves through his work.)
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.
(We work and hope for meaning in what we do. The broken hand symbolizes how much work has been done but how much more could yet remain with the reference not being placed to a more serious body part such as the back.)
Another head aches, another heart breaks,
(A play on words from the cliched idea based nouns "headache" and "heartbreak" symbolizing both the ones the singer has had and with the playing the ones that he witnesses. A strong showing of empathy in attempt to connect with a world that is possibly discongruent with what should and should not be within his mind.
I'm so much older than I can take.
(The artist is now experiencing thoughts and ideas that modern society does not massively express as thoughts of someone his age. For example, at 21 most people are thought to be binge drinkers and college students, yet many people experience thoughts concerning their future at large and for purpose and meaning, which is a role typically held for philosophers of great age. These thoughts are trying, perhaps moreso than the singer feels he should have at his age.)
And my affection, well it comes and goes.
(While trying to decide what is and isn't important, a person experience Erikson's Identity Crisis will feel that the ideas of, for example, mercy are one day all important, but then the next see the worth of justice and value it so strongly that mercy is completely overshadowed into near cruelty.)
I need direction to perfection
Many pyschologists argue that the struggle for self-identity is confounded and/or solved in the realization that identity is formed not only in our belief system, but in what others believe us to be."
no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Contrarily, many believe that in examining oneself only for the self by the self only, is the only way to achieve personal harmony and happiness. It is also believed that this is just fill for the chorus.)
Help me out, yeah
(A pleading to a figure, sometimes supernatural, for help to find the self.)
You know you got to help me out, yeah
(A self-imposed belief that someone owes you explination to whom it is that you are.)
Oh don't you put me on the backburner, you know you gotta help me out.
(If the person cannot or doesn't help, the problem cannot be solved.)
And when there is no where else to run, is there room for one more sun? These changes, ain't changing me.
(Having once defined the self, seeing the change of view can bring fear or denial. Someone experiencing these things will oft believe they are not changing and that it is the world changing.)
The cold hearted boy I used to be
(Upon realization that the world is probably not changing the self in examination of the past notices faults and change.)
You're going to bring yourself down
(The self begins to feel that if they are to be helped, it will only hinder those helping. To see the turmoil and disaray of their life, others might be hurt by it.)
I've got soul but I'm not a soldier
(Finding a strength inside oneself but seeing that it is not enough to conquer. Soul being strength, soldier being strength tempered. The choir joining may symbolize the variety of people that feel the same.)
Time, truth and hearts
(A testing, to test the heart, the test of time, the test of truth. All referenced in Erikson's book.)
Over and over again
(Despite all the conflicts)
Last call for sin,
(The self finally discovers who it is and completes the tasks of indulgent self-realization to move into what the self should now do.)
When everyone's lost, the battle is won with all these things that I have done
(The self is now identified and/or in cases of justification, the person sees that while they've failed to save everyone, they have succeeded in trying. In doing the little good for the self that was possible when it was possible.
Bernardo from Torreon, Mexico
a) "When there´s nowhere else to run, is there room for one more son?" That´s what first got to me, When I´m desperate and I kill myself,would God still forgive me and let me in? Then he answers to himself and tells himself, "If you can hold on, HOLD ON!"
b) "Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection" I interpreted ir like once more my heart is broken, I can´t take it any more, my love comes and goes. Talk to mee, tell me what to do, I wanna be like you.
c) "Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down" Here it really came clear to me to he was talking to. He is saying, don´t leave me for later, I need you now, you gotta bring yourself down (from where you might ask) well from the cross. Get yourself down from that cross and come here and help me.
d)"I got soul but I´m not a soldier" When I think that you can say that it means: Im human, I´m alive, but there are many things I can´t stand, handle or live with.
e)"Over and in, las call for sin, while´s everyone´s lost, the battle is won with all the things that I´ve done" Maybe he did some good stuff and he did get the help he needed.
I used to listen to this song when I borke up with my girfriend, I was always drink as hell, then se came back. He did get down form there, he did help me.
Katie from Tuscaloosa, Al
I think this song is about someone who's trying to change, but needs help
Paindrain from Forbidden City, Other
"I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men. I wanna make it from the back of my broken end".
Explicit homosexual referance as in Somebody told me "Breaking my back just to know you're name..." This is a classic subtle method of revelation... Shared by other openly bisexual fronted bands such as e.g. Placebo.

Does anyone else see a connection to Catcher in the Rye? (And no, I am not one of those people who is obsessed with it.) The part about the "back of my broken hand" first got me thinking about it, and really a great deal of the song matches the book. After all, as s from Boston says at the top of the page, it is about growing up and trying to become a better person-- or to avoid becoming a worse person, as Holden struggles to do.
A.j. from Chicago, Il
The only good song the Killers have done (so far), really.
The movie
The Matador
closes with this song.
Molly from Edwardsville, Il
all their songs are awesome! The Killers are the best ever!!
Alex from St Louis, Mo
My Favorite part is the intro with the guitar to the part with i got soul but im not a solider then the sequence which is awesome and hten the coir singing the phrase it sounds awesome im listening to it on my ipod
Ben from Charlotte, Nc
Ok, first off I haven't seen the video so I have no idea what the band is actually trying to convey. but the lines "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" is taken from an old vietnam era anti-war song. When I first listened to this song I thought it was catchy, then when I really paid attention to the lyrics I realized that this song has a double meaning 1st. an anti-war song (ie the lines "everyones lost but the battle is won" that means in war everybody loses because of all the dead son's and daughters on both sides, yet the battle is won by one country.. so it's asking at what price are our stupid wars won?) 2nd. there seem to be allot of underlying riddles and even almost direct quotes from the bible specifically. but some of the things he says contradict himself.. almost on purpose, like he's fighting an inner war.. I found some interesting viewpoints on this site and another that I haven't even considered untill now. I wish I could speak to the songwriter and ask what this song means to them... b/c untill then we will never actually know what it means. thank you.
Johnny from Los Angeles, Ca
Best Killers song, by far. One of the few good songs around now. (Last Years, 2005 & 2004)
Cara from Perth, Australia
The Killers do have an unusual way of choosing their names, as they choose a line that doesn't seem of particular relevance, but maybe its their way of pointing out certain parts that matter..what do you guys think? xx
Spencer from Lexington, Sc
Gosh, is this about Jesus or what.
Paul from Galway, Ireland
brialliant song. didn't see the vid. but in my head it seems fab.
Maura from Orlando, Fl
The Killers rock. All their songs kick-butt.
Stephen from South Charleston, Wv
The Music Video to this video is actually confusing but if you put the parts together it will make sense. When the numbers are held up, that means what order it is in the video. So, all of the events are rearranged in a confusing way. That means at the beginning when his face is in the puddle, it is actually the end when the lady hits him in the back with the boomarang. Try to put them together next time you see it based on the different numbers, it will then make sense!
Adam from Lakeville, Ct
This song is really great and I like the different sections. The music video was cool but it confused me.
Diz from York, Pa
I love the song. The music video rocked. Did anyone notice that when he's in the shower that no matter how many times he got his face wet, his eye makeup did not come off or even run?
Diz from York, Pa
I love this song! I love the music video. If you have or haven't noticed, when he's in the shower in the vid, no matter how many times the water goes over his face, the eye makeup never came off... or even ran. Just something I wanted to say.
Matt from Bossier City, La
This song seems to go on the shelf with some of U2's Joshua Tree-era stuff. Gospel overtones, with lots of undeniable Christian imagery; but not the clumsy blandness of Contemporary Christian music. The themes of sin, forgivness and redemption are never tired... I love it!
Heather from Stony Brook Long Island, Ny
great song i love it
George from Salisbury, Ct
This songs video is cowboy based,but the song rules

Israel and the United Nations have effectively struck a deal whereby Israel will cooperate with a General Assembly probe into the spring's flotilla raid. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon today announced the panel and its four members: A former New Zealand prime minister; the outgoing Colombian president; and Turkish and Israeli representatives. The panel will commence August 10. (Presumably this was all discussed when Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak visited Turtle Bay last week.)
"Israel has nothing to hide," said Prime Minister Netanyahu. "The opposite is true. It is in Israel's national interest to ensure that the factual truth about the entire flotilla incident will be brought to light and the entire world, and that is precisely the principle we are promoting." The United States has duly backed the deal.
This is a fascinating gamble.
Both the United Nations and Israel have determined that they do not want a replay of the Goldstone Report—in which a panel convened by the U.N. Human Rights Council over which Israel had no influence and with which it did not cooperate made strong condemnations that Israel immediately wrote off as biased, thereby changing precisely no one in the world's opinion of what happened during the 2009 Gaza conflict. In a sense, both parties are admitting they screwed up: The Goldstone Report had less power than the U.N. would have wished because Israel dismissed it from the outset; and, because Israel dismissed it from the outset, it said things Israel did not want it to say. Instead, Israel will be able to shape this investigation (which will supersede the planned probe from the UNHRC), and its findings.
But! That means that Israel will be more persuasively implicated in whatever the probe produces. If it for the most part exonerates Israel—if it finds that the nine civilian deaths were the result of poor Israeli planning (which Israel has more or less admitted) and the hostile threats Israeli soldiers faced upon boarding the Mavi Marmara—then that could carry significant cachet with nations and people around the world who are amenable to persuasion that Israel did not, essentially, murder nine civilians in cold blood. If, however, the probe finds deeper Israeli guilt, then that too could carry significant cachet around the world, to Israel's detriment.
The one way in which Israel might be playing with some sort of advantage at the outset concerns the expectations game. This is the United Nations—no one expects it to have particularly nice things to say about Israel. A condemnation would have to be stark, in the Goldstone fashion, for it to be especially newsworthy.

Please note: I am aware that some people feel dizzy, fatigued, and drained after taking a shower, but this is likely caused by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, POTS. The symptom I am writing about in this blog post is a completely different animal.
For any person with chronic Lyme disease that feels worse after taking a shower, this information is for you.
I Am The Diseased (Poem)
With no truth to save
For an effort has grown dim
The hurt will remain
In all that has always been
Before I begin this blog post -- yes, I have a time machine -- I want to apologize for any grammatical errors you may come across as my head is a little off today. I know, some of you are thinking, "Well, if you have a time machine, why not just go back to when your head was clearer -- or better yet, after chronic Lyme?" Good point, except that I recently acquired the time machine this morning -- you can only go as far back in time to when the time machine was acquired. Also, as much as I'd love to be at the time in my life where I was over chronic Lyme, I'd miss out on a lot of the good experiences that would occur during chronic Lyme's stay, or would I? Oh, I don't have a time machine and this is all just a theory.
Yeast, Babesia -- Here I Come
A lot has happened for me in regards to treating my health challenges since my last post. Since December, I've been seeing a new and promising, local integrative physician. And just when you thought you've had every test that could be run, run, you're presented with some more that seem just so appropriate. I guess I've finally found that harmony with my new physician.
The deepest sleep I ever had in my entire life, or at least in a long, long time, was last night. What do I attribute it to? I would have to attribute it to the Red Borneo Kratom I took, but more importantly, the larger dose of modified citrus pectin I increased to the night before.
Sleep has never really been an issue with me while dealing with chronic Lyme disease. I've always slept deep regardless of how I felt, but as of late, the insomnia had been occurring, but not as frequent as you'd think; regardless, insomnia has been occasionally present. So how do I deal with insomnia? Well, in the beginning I would take Valerian Root, and it worked, but then its efficacy wore off. So then I upgraded to liquid melatonin and that worked amazingly! Unfortunately, I learned that taking melatonin for extended periods of time can induce unwarranted psychological symptoms and an irregular heartbeat - two symptoms Lyme had long since bestowed.
Welcome To My Blog!
The LyBlog will focus on my personal battle with chronic Lyme disease, which includes updates, progress reports, and personal experiences that encompass Lyme.

IBM System Z Online Backup
IBM System z is a set of state of the art, mainframe servers that are available in a number of configurations to meet the needs of users ranging from mid-sized business to enterprise uses. The System z was one of the first of its type to be designed from inception to be managed in the cloud, a decision that seems obvious in retrospect, but was a forward thinking acknowledgement of a sea change in computing at the time planning was taking place. IBM has developed a uniquely elegant hybrid design which provides more intelligent computing solutions, transforming infrastructures to make them perform better at the task at hand.
As businesses around the world know, IBM has been synonymous with enterprise computing for decades, and has been the gold standard in the category for many years. System z continues this tradition, leveraging nearly 40 years of experience to develop a cutting edge IT solution that controls expenses required to maintain and manage servers compared with the competition. Through virtualization and automated performance optimization, the Series z has established itself as the Ducati Superbike of servers — elegant, fast and capable.
Another thing that companies have started to recognize over the past few years is that data centers are more expensive to operate than they need to be. The IBM System z server helps control this cost in a number of ways. IBM's virtualization approach allows for consolidation on one System z server so that one core can host many servers. This helps reduce the physical space needs, and can also help reduce the licensing cost of software. One of the easiest and quickest returns on investment (ROI) is recognized in dramatically reduced electricity requirements. This is leveraged into a competitive advantage in today's environmentally conscious world, where many customers appreciate the "green" environmental credentials of the companies with which they do business. It is truly a credit to IBM that, with the System z, companies can actually do well while doing good.
There are other tangible benefits to IBM System Z beyond lower IT expenditures and energy costs. Extreme scalability allows many, many workloads on a System z installation. System z is able to run thousands of virtual servers at once on one System z server. Some would say that you cannot virtualize everything. While this may be true, IBM System Z heavily contests it. In fact, it is much easier now to name those processes and machines which are virtualizable than those which are not. Memory, network, disk resources, cryptographic features, and processors are all subject to heavy virtualization. Thanks to this exceptional advance in technology, businesses can enjoy extremely high utilization levels, so that existing resources can be used fully, eliminating the need to spend extra capital.
The IBM System z is a model series that will be at the forefront of business computing for many years to come. It provides a high level of security and boasts and extensive library of built in utilities and tools, preventing problems from occurring and making it easier to resolve those which do occur.

During the few 'off hours' I have, I love thinking about innovation and technological change in the grand scheme of things. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I did a weekend trip to New York on my own budget to attend the Singularity Summit 2009 – a conference of futurists. In my recent thinking I've stumbled upon a nagging little problem: The concept of the Knowledge Economy is very ambiguous and ill defined.
When I look up the definition of Knowledge Economy on Wikipedia, there is already a big alarm bell going off in my head when I read: "In a knowledge economy, knowledge is a product, in knowledge-based economy, knowledge is a tool.". The words product and tool treat knowledge on par with physical goods, which in my mind is the reflection of a fundamental disconnect.
In the academic world there is no real consensus on the difference between information and knowledge, a definition that's not at all trivial. Asking the question will most likely yield different answers depending on which 'field of expertise' you consult (management, philosophy, computer science), but there is a common way of explaining the concepts of data, information and knowledge on a continuum:
- Data is raw facts
- Information is data that is organized, analyzed or placed into a certain context
- Knowledge is internalized information: skills, experience, cognition, etc.
"Knowledge is the whole body of cognition and skills which individuals use
to solve problems. It includes both theories and practical, everyday rules
and instructions for action. Knowledge is based on data and information, but
unlike these, it is always bound to persons. It is constructed
by individuals, and represents their beliefs about causal relationships"
(Probst, Raub & Romhardt, 2000)
There is also a very popular view (by Nonaka & Takeuchi) in which knowledge is divided up into explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. But this widely accepted view has now come into dispute because many claim the concept of explicit knowledge is no different than information.
No matter what stance you take, it's clear that knowledge always has a certain context associated with it. On one end of the spectrum this could simply mean that certain chunks of knowledge are useless without other chunks of knowledge (still explicit). In other cases it might be that the knowledge is completely useless without a lifetime of experience or skills (tacit).
However, I do think it's important to realize that while tacit knowledge is a lot less 'portable' than explicit knowledge, this could change very quickly with the advent of technology. With the existence of zero-cost communication, learning-enhancement software and artificial intelligence, tacit knowledge is also becoming more 'portable'.
Many thanks go out to Jozua Loots who helped me with the question "What's the difference between knowledge and information?". All done through an awesome new (synaptic) Q&A service called Aardvark.
Informational v.s. Physical
To understand the fundamentals of the problem, we have to take a look at the difference between information and physical objects. Physical objects abide by different laws than information. A physical object can only exist in one place in one time and it deteriorates when used or touched. Information on the other hand, can exist in many places at any time and multiplies when touched.
Thanks to zero-cost communication, the replicating nature of information has showed itself over the last decade. There are now vast amounts of knowledge (and obsoledge) being generated every day, making many derivatives of information (content, knowledge) a commodity. Kevin Kelley explains this well in his essay 'Better than Free', where he compares the internet to a giant copy machine where the copies drop in value. Interestingly, when those copies become abundant, the value starts shifting to what's scarce: the attention of people. This is where the concept of the Attention Economy starts.
A Non-Economy?
If information is so fundamentally different than material goods, you can start asking the question: Does the term 'economy' apply to knowledge at all? Let's take a look at the wikipedia definition of the word 'economy':
"An economy is the ways in which people use their environment to meet their material needs. It is the realized economic system of a country or other area. It includes the production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of that area."
And here is the definition of an 'economic system':
"An economic system is the system of production, distribution and consumption of goods and services of an economy. Alternatively, it is the set of principles and techniques by which problems of economics are addressed, such as the economic problem of scarcity through allocation of finite productive resources."
Both definitions are inherently bound to 'goods' and the fundamentals of finite production. The problem is that with information, there is infinite free replication. This explains why it is so hard to use traditional methods of economics to measure and understand value created by information. But fortunately there is hope in the definition of 'economics' itself (by Lionel Robbins in 1932):
"The science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses."
Because even though the characteristics of information/knowledge are so different , the economic fundamentals of abundance and scarcity still apply.
Informational Drivers of Economic Growth
The influence of information on wealth creation is quite complicated. The biggest mistake people make is treating information (or it's derivatives) as a physical good that can be traded. So if you can't sell it, it has no value? Yet information plays a profound role in driving economic growth.
Hans Rosling, a Swedish econometrist has given several TED talks in which he showed how developing countries have been caching up with great speeds. Every booming developing country had it's own drivers of growth, but one can imagine that a common driver would be the availability of 'know how'. This 'know how' took the Europeans centuries to develop and apply, but for developing countries this was readily available and could be applied fairly quickly. This application of explicit knowledge set off the main driver of growth: change. And when you apply new knowledge to a country that needs to build things from scratch, you get a rapid rate of non-incremental change.
On the scale of an entire economy, it's really the non-incremental change that matters. An example of normal incremental change could be aesthetics, the improvement of physical products. Another example would be a well-oiled service industry that services existing markets. All of these dwindle in comparison to the amount of value created by fundamental change. Real innovation will create and destroy new markets (e.g. telephony, online advertising, social networking, etc) whereas incremental change merely optimizes existing market dynamics.
The rapid shift from physical systems to more informational systems – informationization – goes hand in hand with non-incremental change. When a system becomes more informational and has less physical obstacles, changes can happen more quickly. And these changes are non-incremental, meaning that informational systems will have more paradigm shifts, are less predictable and have more volatility. Nassim Nicholas Taleb (NNT) explains this in a different way in his famous book The Black Swan, whereby he defines an Extremistan (informational-law world) and a Mediocrestan (physical-law world).
To summarize:
- It's not the explicit knowledge that creates value, but it's rather the flow and application of it.
- Non-incremental change is the main driver of economic growth
- The more informational a system becomes, the more non-incremental changes will happen
Note: A nice example of informationization can be found in the biography of Nikola Tesla, one of history's greatest inventors. Tesla had a special brain condition where he could visualize and iterate his inventions in his mind using his photographic memory. This allowed him to innovate at a very rapid pace, because he did far less physical experiments in the innovation process.
Stimulating Non-Incremental Change
Some governments, like my own (the Netherlands), come up with special ten year action plans that try to create a vibrant 'Knowledge Economy'. What should these action plans entail and how relevant is the knowledge aspect of things?
The first thing that needs to happen is the stimulation of informationization. This requires removing physical constraints in for example bureaucracy. Many governmental organizations still require you to handle paperwork with real paper or require you to unnecessarily interface with a person. Also, there needs to be a general reduction of the amount of bureaucracy. This could be done for example by reducing the amount of certifications required to start a certain (informational) business.
Education needs to stimulate independent thinking. They need to stimulate their students to do new things (sponsor adventurous travels?), but more importantly: they need to shift focus from 'knowing' to applying knowledge and using creativity.
Corporations need to be formed ever quickly, but more importantly, they need to be dissolved quickly too. Companies – that are getting smaller and leaner – must be able to fail early and often in order for real innovation to happen. This also means that you need a culture that can deal well with failure and makes sure that the people involved don't have to deal with 'face loss'. On the flip side people need to be rewarded when they are successful, this might mean having a more loose taxation system for the wealthy. One idea here could be to allow tax-free re-investments of earned capital to stimulate successful entrepreneurs to become angel investors.
Which brings me to entrepreneurship: you need a very vibrant investment climate that has VC's and angel investors that invest in bold ideas. Many countries outside of the US cope with a sickening amount of risk averseness. When you present a prototype to a European investor, they don't ask you when you will generate revenue, no, they will ask you: "when will you break even?".
The economics of a world that is becoming ever more complex are not as simple as they have been. The concept of a "Knowledge Economy" is outdated and is not factoring the new dynamics of informationization. The real driver behind economic growth is non-incremental change, something that is catalyzed by informationization. In order to gain economically, governing bodies, companies and people need to stop resisting informationization and go with the flow.

In the subsequent several years, George Town retained its cost-free port status, as confirmed because of the British colonial authorities before granting independence to Malaya.
Nevertheless, George Town retained its significance as a significant British entrepôt.[38][39] The booming spice trade experienced led to your opening of spice farms around Penang Island, creating the island a centre of spice production in Southeast Asia; the export of spices also authorized the British East India Business to address the executive charges of Penang.[40][forty one] In addition to funnelling the exports designed for global delivery traces which had bypassed other regional ports, the tin mining growth in neighbouring Perak towards the tip of your 19th century transformed the Port of Penang into A significant tin-exporting harbour within the Malay Peninsula, straight demanding the Port of Singapore.
An integral part of Penang's companies sector is health care tourism, that has produced George City the medical tourism hub of Malaysia.

In its early years, George City was produced in a haphazard way, as buildings and streets were created on an advert hoc foundation.[32][33] The new settlement was bounded by 4 streets - Gentle Road, Beach Street, Chulia Avenue and Pitt Street.[34] The segregation of George City's professional and administrative centres, together with ethnic enclaves, can nonetheless be witnessed to this day; financial institutions and warehouses are organized along George City's here central company district at Beach Avenue, whereas administrative and judicial buildings are concentrated all-around Gentle Avenue, which capabilities for a authorities precinct.[35]
George Town was amid the 1st metropolitan areas in Malaya to generally be electrified in 1905 upon the completion of the main hydroelectric scheme.[353] At this time, energy for industrial and domestic use is provided by the national electrical power utility corporation, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).

Tadcaster Albion striker Joe Thornton has left Ings Lane one week into the new Northern Counties East League season due to family commitments.
On the eve of Albion's FA Cup extra-preliminary tie at Hebburn Town, Thornton told club officials travelling was proving more difficult than he anticipated.
The Barnsley-based player signed for Taddy in June after scoring 22 goals to help Shaw Lane Aquaforce win the NCEL Premier Division last season.
He opened his account for the Brewers with two goals in the 6-3 opening day victory over Maltby Main after boss Billy Miller partnered him up front alongside Josh Greening.
Thornton said: "I would like to thank Billy and everybody at Tad for giving me the opportunity to represent such a well-supported club, but I've got to put my children and partner first.
"Tad have been brilliant and are a top club. I knew that the travelling was going to be a bit of a struggle, but it has been a lot harder than I imagined.
"I need to move to a club nearer to home."
Thornton becomes the third striker to leave title-chasing Tadcaster in the last two weeks.
Former York City youth player Calum Ward hooked up with ex-Brewers boss Paul Marshall at Pickering Town last week.
David Brown signed for Evo-Stik First Division North side Ossett Town on Thursday after Miller left out of the Albion squad for the first two matches of the season.
Albion chairman Matt Gore said: "We're obviously very disappointed that Joe is leaving, but we'd rather it have happened at this early stage of the season.
"Joe scored two goals on his league debut and we know he would have gone on to score thirty or more goals for us this season, but we are big believers in putting family first.
"He's got a young family and another one on the way, so we completely understand his situation.
"Not only will we miss Joe, but we'll also miss his Dad who was fast becoming a popular figure on the sidelines.
"I want to thank Joe for being open and honest. In the short time he was here, he was well-liked by both the fans and the players, and in an ideal world we would have kept him for the full season and beyond.
"We rate him very highly and wish him all the best for the future."
