A Slice Of Life is the meeting point for interaction among people who share their diverse experiences of life in a close-knit community. At different times, life's experiences may be pleasant or otherwise, and whatever the situation may be, people take out a portion from the whole. Sharing experiences help people pull through life and that is what I desire to achieve.
On this blog, I get involved with this social community discussing my love for the arts, culture, books, happenings in society and issues that shape relationships and family life.
You can advertise in different ways on my blog; either direct advert placement, promotions, PR articles or event coverage. Kindly contact me via e-mail on email@example.com

The curator
On this blog, I go by the pen name Debby 'Baro. Both names were coined from 'Deborah and Obaro, actually from within my family and my real name is Afoke Hope Orivri. I write as a journalist for a local newspaper in Lagos, and work as curator of the blog, A Slice Of Life. I was born, raised and educated in the lively city of Lagos. I have essentially lived all my life in Lagos, except for the short period of one year that I spent as a corper in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
I hold a Master's degree in Mass Communication from the University of Lagos. In the last 10years, I have worked in various capacities as a PR, Research and Media expert. I love to write and chat. Story-telling is a part of my fancy and I still enjoy listening to folktales whenever I have the opportunity. I love to cook local dishes and I love my food hot and spiced with pepper. For me, life is a journey best enjoyed in company of people who believe in you and give you a voice to express your inner self. I am blessed with a wonderful family.

Unfortunately, it looks like the inevitable is about to happen, and Atlanta is losing the Thrashers and they're going to Winnipeg. While there will be bitterness, anger, rage, etc. there are a few things to keep in mind as to who to be mad at, who to not be mad at, and who is truly going to suffer because of this.
First of all, you'll want someone to blame. Well the blame in this case falls on ASG who let the Thrashers' house fall into disrepair until the organization became completely dysfunctional. Yes you can blame them. They let the team flounder under the misguided and muddled path it's been on since...well, since ASG took over. They bought the Thrashers, Hawks and the arena and immediately wanted to sell off the Thrashers to a local owner. But in this day and age, unless the hockey team has a sweetheart deal from an arena that's non-profit (municipally owned) or has a stake in the arena, an NHL team is going to lose money. They knew there would be no buyers. They were looking to sell off the team long before today, but their internal legal troubles prevented them from doing so.
The managment of the team deserves a share of the blame too, but if there is no accountability, there is no responsibility, and Waddell had no accountability to ASG, since they never took him to task for the quality of the team on the ice. Either they didn't notice, or they didn't care. I'm sure ASG and Waddell wanted to win, but the Thrashers never really had much success on the ice.
As for the title of what to do now. The goal of everyone here at BWA needs to be getting the NHL back to Altanta as soon as possible. What you all can do is this:
- Be as supportive as you can of getting ASG out of the Atlanta sports business. If their intention is to sell the arena and the Hawks, then help them out. Admittedly it means going to Hawks games and being enthusiastic, but if there is a new owner in town, then it is very possible they might be interested in bringing the NHL back to ATL.
- Make Gwinnett the top franchise in attendance in the ECHL. Go to their games, get them sold out every night. Yeah, it's minor league hockey, but it's still hockey, and if Gwinnett can have 100% attendance every night, that will get noticed. Heck, they might even move half a dozen games to Philips Arena.
- Keep the Thrashers name alive. Make sure the fan club stays active, keep reminding folks about the Thrashers, and especially, keep this blog going. Don't let the name die...
- Road Trips. When Winnipeg plays in Nashville, Carolina, heck even Tampa, get there, and cheer them on. I know you want to see the Winnipeg ownership fail, but the guys in the uniforms, no matter where they play, are your players.
When the Minnesota Northstars became the Dallas Stars, the NHL was still experimenting with neutral site games during the regular season, and two Dallas games were scheduled and played at the old Met Center in Minnesota. Those were the two most attended neutral site games, and the Stars were cheered as if they never left. The guys who play for Winnipeg are the same guys who played in Atlanta. Cheer them on.
Most important, as much as you're hurting being fans, remember the folks who are going to suffer the most from this. All of a sudden there are 40+ fewer events at Philips Arena, so now the nearby restaurants, eateries, bars, etc. will take a hit, plus there will be 40+ fewer nights that the folks who work at the arena will be working, all with a cut in their pay. They're going to be hurt most of all.
Don't be mad at the True North folks. They wanted a team and they found a willing seller in ASG. Blame them. Don't be mad at the NHL... it's not up the other owners to find someone to own the team in Atlanta, especially at a severe disadvantage economically, and it's not up to the commissioner either.
Keep your heads up. Hold them high, and be proud to be Thrasher fans.

If there ever was a controversial figure in Rwandan music industry, then it must be Bulldog. The rapper is known to be candid, open-minded and eccentric at the same time. He will be fondly remembered for openly slamming the annual Guma Guma Super Star in 2013 when he was eliminated at the first round and for saying the reality TV show is aimed at only promoting Primus, a beer brand brewed by Bralirwa, who are also the main sponsors of the competition.
And this time he is at it again. According to Bulldog, only he, Green P and PFla are the only recognizable figures in hip hop music while all the others come after. Indeed he was overlooking at the more successful artists like Riderman and Jay Polly who have for long dominated and scooped all kinds of accolades. Riderman in particular won the third edition of Primus Guma Guma Super Star, becoming the first ever rapper to do so, but according to Bulldog he's not anywhere near him.
Through his Facebook page, Bulldog said, "Let me emphasize this. Only I, Green P and PFla, are the leading rappers in the country. All the others are far behind." The claims will further add substance to earlier claims that the volatile rapper was slowly falling out with his longtime compatriot Jay Polly whom he has enjoyed a good relationship with. The two alongside Fireman form the Tuff Gangs Crew, a group that composes and sings hip hop music.

Resources drag ASX down 0.7pcPUBLISHED: 15 May 2012 16:29:23 | UPDATED: 15 May 2012 18:26:45PRINT EDITION: 15 May 2012
Australian stocks fell to a weaker close, dragged down by heavy losses among the resource stocks.
Investors worried about political and financial instability in Europe, including the future of the euro zone, led a flight to safety away from riskier mining stocks.
At the close of trading on Tuesday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 30.7 points, or 0.71 per cent, at 4266.3 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index had fallen 35.6 points, or 0.82 per cent, to 4316.3 points.
On the ASX 24, the June share price index futures contract was 24 points lower at 4273 points, on a volume of 27,000 contracts.
The losses in Australia followed falls of about 2 per cent in European markets overnight and 1 per cent in the United States.
"Usually if that happens it's quite unlikely we go in the opposite direction," Commsec market analyst Steve Daghlian said.
"The mining sector and energy sector held the market back significantly.
"Added together, those sectors are one-third of the market and have a quite significant impact on what we actually see take place overall."
Falls among resource stocks were compounded by base metal prices falling overnight, along with oil trading below $US95 a barrel.
BHP Billiton hit an almost three-year low during the day before recovering to close down 60¢ at $33.86, Rio Tinto lost 69¢ to $60.31 and iron ore miner Fortescue Metals plunged 24¢ to a three-month low at $5.10.
Australia's largest listed oil and gas play, Woodside Petroleum, shed 69¢ to $32.80 and Santos retreated 14¢ to $12.55.
CMC Markets sales trader Ben Taylor said the weaker market would provide buying opportunities in the next few months but now was not the time to jump in head first.
Defensive stocks, those companies not so significantly affected by economic cycles, were the best performers.
Telstra was up 7¢ at $3.71, Coles owner Wesfarmers gave up early gains to be flat at $30.80 and Woolworths was 24¢ higher at $27.21.
Coca-Cola Amatil, which on Tuesday forecast a four to five per cent rise in its first half profit, was 14 cents higher at $12.87.
Clothing maker Pacific Brands was down 3.5¢ at 58.5¢ and said there would be no takeover offer for the company after discussions with potential suitors failed to reach a deal. Australia's largest goldminer Newcrest Mining lost 78¢ to $25.87.
The price of gold in Sydney was $US1556.49 per fine ounce, down $US20.86 on Monday's close at $US1,577.35.
All eyes were expected to be on Europe overnight as Greece tries to put together an emergency government and decides whether to repay a maturing €436 million ($564 million) bond.
National turnover was 2.12 billion shares worth $5.23 billion with 238 stocks gaining value, 834 down and 365 unchanged.

The Arizona Cardinals have signed Dan Carpenter to compete with Jay Feely as the team's kicker.
Carpenter was released by the Miami Dolphins a week ago. He signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie in 2008 and, coincidentally, took Feely's job away from him there that season.
The 37-year-old Feely says he isn't afraid of competition and knows as he grows older he must prove he still can do the job at a high level. Ten years younger than Feely, Carpenter made 22 of 27 field goals last season. Feely made 25 of 28.
The Cardinals also released wide receivers Robert Gill and Robby Toma.

From the "Disloyal Idiot's" blog post today
2. If the ACC wants to take full advantage of adding Syracuse in 2013-14 then it should guarantee at least Duke or North Carolina once a season at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse has already announced a 35,012 crowd for Saturday's game against Georgetown. That will be the 17th time the Orange have had 30,000-plus for a Georgetown game, the most of any other opponent. Syracuse is losing Georgetown as a conference opponent after this season. Three of the top eight 30,000-plus crowds at the Carrier Dome are eventually going with Syracuse to the ACC in Pitt (7), Notre Dame (6) and Louisville (4). The 35,012 fans coming for Saturday's game against Georgetown is yet another reminder of the Big East breaking up and what the Northeast college basketball fan will be missing.http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/76840/3-point-shot-a-more-mellow-frank-martin

About Kate
Kate White is a craniosacral and massage therapist, prenatal and early childhood educator. All her classes arise out of her work as a somatic therapist, where she is passionate about the brain and mind-body medicine. She is a mother of two children, holds a BA and MA in Communication, and is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist in the Biodynamic Craniosacral method. Her work combines somatic therapy with brain development to help give families with babies and small children the best possible start. Her work is a translation of some of the research on how parents are with their children affects neural pathways and perception.
In Her Words
"As a young woman, I ended up working in Africa on a variety of projects. In West Africa, I fell in love with the notion of "griots" or community storytellers. What started with storytelling, street theatre and the zeal to live and work in Africa, ended with a lifelong passion for helping women and babies.
My career as an international professional spanned over a decade, with consultancies, fellowships, and experiences in improving maternal and child health services in Africa. When I returned to the United States in 1993, I became a massage therapist and began immediately working with women during pregnancy. My career as a bodyworker includes many different modalities. In 1999, I became a craniosacral therapist, when, to my surprise, my clients began to remember their births. I have been involved with pre and perinatal education ever since. As a professional, therapists like myself are part of a vanguard of therapists working with interdisciplinary fields of practice: My work combines elements of neuroscience, somatic therapy, emotional processing, obstetrics, embryology, and pre and perinatal psychology.
In 2002, I moved to Vermont where I built a healing arts center dedicated to pre and perinatal health. Since I began my journey integrating all that I know into one therapeutic educational package, I have amassed hundreds of hours of education, practice and instruction that include the prenatal period, birthing education and supporting women postpartum. in 2008, I moved to Charlottesville, VA where I now make my home. When I look back, I realize I have been on this path since I was 20 years old."

The case against David Kahn, without any reference to the number of draftees in a given year who play one position.• Who's worth more, Ty Lawson and Ryan Gomes or Martel Webster? We now know Lawson is a valuable player. Webster? He's been playing for a great coach yet has shown little. Maybe Babbitt can't defend and doesn't fit, but weren't there any other options? The team won 15 games last year.
• There's Flynn over Curry. Let's be big and move past that. Now what do you do with him? Kahn has admitted Jonny's not right for what they're trying to do. Then why not trade him to Indy for Paul George who's perfect for what you're trying to do? Then, at 16, they could have taken Eric Bledsoe or Avery Bradley to fill the back-up PG spot for a year and perhaps become an appreciating asset. Chad Ford on Bledsoe: "If he had gone to a school that didn't have John Wall as the starting point guard, I think he would've gone much higher -- he has more upside than, say, Jonny Flynn."
• Washington got a free draft pick for taking Hinrich from Chicago. Why didn't we? Hinrich costs money, yes, but he could have filled the Flynn slot and given the young team leadership and defense. In '11 he has an expiring contract they could dump when Rubio arrives. Then there's the carrot: the first round pick. The Wiz used it for Seraphin, the good stashable Euro. The Wolves could have, too, then taken Bledsoe and traded him to the Clippers for a future pick, as OKC did. Remember when Kahn told us how great future picks are? Maybe we'd have gotten ours back. Of course, LA wouldn't relinquish it unless anyone thought the Wolves may move beyond putrid by '11-'12.
• Oklahoma City picked up #11 and #18 for taking Peterson and Cook, just to say there were multiple opportunities out there.
• The 23rd pick. Kahn traded that and #56 to Washington for #30 and #35. Meanwhile, Atlanta--not traditionally known for their draft-night savvy, traded the next pick, #24, to the Nets for two better picks, #27 and #31. We got the poorer deal even without including #56. With that, they could still have likely taken Prestes plus nabbed, say, someone who's actually athletic like Alabi at #45.
• Oh, but if we took on salary, say for Hinrich or Tayshaun Prince or Elton Brand, it would mess with our cap room. Yet, we're using cap room for Webster and presumably Darko and Peks. Whom else will it be used for? Tyrus Thomas? If they wanted him, they could have had the bigger newer model, DMC. Josh Childress? Now they're set at small forward and don't need him. Rudy Gay? Not for how little room they have. Linus Klieza? Now I taste championship!
• Ah, but there's sign-and-trade. What does that get them, exactly? So Toronto loses Bosh and would take Big Al. If Bosh was willing to come here, great, but apparently even Kahn doesn't think that will happen. We could send Big Al to Memphis for Gay. Why do they want him? Why would the Jazz if they lose Boozer? Why would Atlanta if they lose Johnson? Why would Phoenix if they lose Stoudamire? Other teams can trade draft picks and the Wolves can't, unless they're far into the future.
• Or the Wolves could be the third team in a sign-and-trade. But then who's the second team, and who could they give us to make it worthwhile? Say, for Bosh. Which team who wants Bosh has anything to give us? The Lakers have Bynum, except his knees might be bad and if they weren't, Toronto would want him, not Al. Maybe we could get future draft picks. These would likely be from good teams, however, and we also know from last Wednesday that draft picks only lead to misery and heartbreak.
• What of the losers in the Free Agency Sweepstakes? They'll want Big Al, or so we're told. But what could they give us? Chicago has Deng--bleech. Miami has nothing. NY has Lee, but they'd have to prefer him to Al. NJ has Favors, yes. If NJ can't get Stoudamire, Lee or Boozer, maybe they'd want Al. Those are slim odds.
• Trade Al for a trade exception, as Ric Bucher says? What is that worth? When has anyone turned a trade exception into a difference-making player? We turned Terrell Brandon's insurance-covered contract into Latrell Sprewell, and that was a terrific deal. Fact is, you can't turn nothing into something.
• Speaking of which, whatever happened to all those expiring contracts from last year? Oh yeah, we let them expire.
I write this to say there's no reason to hope. KG said he should have left earlier. We all should have, too. Wait to see them play? Phooey. Life is too short. We can analyze what Kahn has done up to now--we're at the fourth great moment of opportunity, aren't we?--and say David Kahn is a fraud, different from McHale but no more competent.
Even if Kahn has a superior ability to accumulate assets, he has shown no ability to use them. He has told us a bad team has no business drafting for need, yet this year, he drafted for need. His best asset that has played in the NBA is apparently worth nothing. The Wolves' drafting pattern continues unabated--the guy they pick looks wrong on draft night and is proven wrong a season or two later. They continue to have management that insists they can spot talent where others haven't found it while ignoring talent clear to everyone. Last and least, Kahn's heralded ties to David Stern didn't do anything for Minnesota in the lottery.
The only explanation--perhaps Stop-n-Pop's connection can bear this out--is that the recent meeting of investors had more than 10 of them holding 10% apiece, that Glen Taylor is Zero Mostel and David Kahn (with wig) is Gene Wilder, and that this team is the NBA version of "Springtime for Hitler." There's no hope. I'd love to be wrong, but tickets couldn't be cheap enough to buy some just in case.

The students used regular sulphite paper instead of watercolor paper since there was very little blending or advanced watercolor skills involved in the project, so using my limited stash of watercolor paper wasn't necessary.

A comment by Atlanta Braves beat writer David O'Brien on his blog indicates that lefty reliever Will Ohman prefers to come back to Atlanta:
Just talked to Will Ohman [and he said the] Braves haven't backed off him, still right there, one of six to eight teams interested. And he reiterated [Atlanta] is where he wants to be, if offers are equal, etc. He really liked everything about the place, team, fans.
I would like to see Ohman return for the next year or two, and I'd like to see the team pay to make that happen. He was far better than any situational lefty we've thrown out of the bullpen, save for two months of Ron Mahay, since Mike Remlinger and Chris Hammond in 2002.
I know we've got this O'Flaherty character and something called a Boone Logan as possible lefty setup guys, but they are not established major leage LOOGYs. Ohman held lefties to a .200 batting and a .571 OPS average last year -- that's like a team of Brent Lillibridges.

The driver of a black car lost control coming off the ramp and spun out into the median. No one was hurt, but while they were on the phone with police, they saw another crash, resulting in a rollover.Police said the driver of that second accident was coming off the same ramp when his truck spun out of control and flipped. Witnesses watched as the driver climbed out on his own. He was treated at the scene, and wasn't transported to the hospital.

Crimes Against Persons
Crimes against persons, also called personal crimes, include murder, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery. Personal crimes are unevenly distributed in the United States, with young, urban, poor, and racial minorities committing these crimes more than others.
Crimes Against Property
Property crimes involve theft of property without bodily harm, such as burglary, larceny, auto theft, and arson. Like personal crimes, young, urban, poor, and racial minorities generally commit these crimes more than others.
Crimes Against Morality
Crimes against morality are also called victimless crimes because there is not complainant, or victim. Prostitution, illegal gambling, and illegal drug use are all examples of victimless crimes.
White-Collar Crime
White-collar crimes are crimes that committed by people of high social status who commit their crimes in the context of their occupation. This includes embezzling (stealing money from one's employer), insider trading, and tax evasion and other violations of income tax laws.
White-collar crimes generally generate less concern in the public mind than other types of crime, however in terms of total dollars, white-collar crimes are even more consequential for society. Nonetheless, these crimes are generally the least investigated and least prosecuted.
Organized Crime
Organized crime is crime committed by structured groups typically involving the distribution of illegal goods and services to others. Many people think of the Mafia when they think of organized crime, but the term can refer to any group that exercises control over large illegal enterprises (such as the drug trade, illegal gambling, prostitution, weapons smuggling, or money laundering).
A key sociological concept in the study or organized crime is that these industries are organized along the same lines as legitimate businesses and take on a corporate form. There are typically senior partners who control the business' profits, workers who manage and work for the business, and clients who buy the goods and services that the organization provides.
A Sociological Look at Crime
Arrest data show a clear pattern of arrests in terms of race, gender, and class. For instance, as mentioned above, young, urban, poor, and racial minorities generally commit personal and property crimes more so than other demographic groups. To sociologists, the question posed by this data is whether this reflects actual differences in committing crimes among different groups or whether this reflects differential treatment by the criminal justice system. Studies show that the answer here is "both." Certain groups are in fact more likely to commit crimes than others because crime is linked to patterns of inequality in the United States. However, the process of prosecution in the criminal justice system is also significantly related to patterns of race, class, and gender inequality. We see this in the official arrest statistics, in treatment by the police, in sentencing patterns, and in studies of imprisonment.

By DREW GARDNER6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - There weren't many drivers lining up at the pump after gas spiked more than 10 cents during the Monday morning commute alone.
The average price per gallon in Knoxville was hovering just below $3.60, but for some drivers that price is a relief.
Elizabeth Welke is traveling to Florida from Michigan, where the pain at the pump has been much worse.
"When we left Coldwater it was $3.89 a gallon," said Welke. "Ohio was $3.85. So for us, it's nice to see a little bit lower gas prices as we head south."
Experts blame the jump on an increase in crude oil prices and production cuts. They fear it could continue to climb as refineries close for maintenance to switch to the summer fuel blend.
"I expect it to be over $4 and that's really unfortunate with having to commute back and forth to work quite a distance," said Welke.
There are some things you can do to help improve your cars mileage:
Also, if your gas station has a fuel rewards program you aren't taking advantage of, you may want to start.
"You definitely have to cut back on some of your extra travel trips and consolidate a few and think twice before you go a little further for any things you may be able to get locally," said Welke.

At the risk of a bad pun, we have to say that the exciting new Whispbar WB400 kayak cradles system blows its competition right out of the water. It's easy to see why with Whispbar's outstanding combination of performance, convenience, and style. QuickDock install hardware mounts directly into the T channel on the top side of many cross bars (including Whispbar, Thule XSporter or AeroBlade, and many factory roof rack models) for a seamless and secure fit, and also comes with adapters for use with traditional round or square rails from brands like Thule, Yakima, Inno, etc. The J-style cradle saves space on the roof rack by holding the kayak at an angle, while the included cross bar and bow-stern straps allow the boat to be fully tied down on the rack for worry-free transit—plus, the upper section of each J-cradle folds down when not in use, providing better aerodynamics and garage clearance. Cradle arms slide out to the side for painless loading: just angle the kayak onto the cradle arms along the side of the vehicle, then slide the arms closed again and the kayak glides into place in the cradle. Boats are kept snug and protected thanks to padding on the cradles, and locks and keys are also included to lock the WB400 rack onto the car roof. Combine all of this with the sleek, attractive, and aerodynamic design on this Whispbar kayak rack, and you have one fantastic package for your next paddling excursion.

The snow was cold as he touched it, yet it did not bite him. He looked at it curiously, at how it reflected the light from the sun, at its crystalline beauty. How fragile it was... It wasn't like the walls of Grisial Palas, icy spires that rose from the mountain, nigh transparent in their purity, yet so solid. None could break through such barrier, he had been assured. He had watched as a man, seemingly strong, tried to break through his cage, his pounding muffled, for the cage had no holes through which sound might escape... or air enter. The man had died choking to death. They all did, when they were put in the cages. Able to see them outside, staring at this odd creature, that felt so warm. They hated it, but would not admit it. It made them realize how empty they were... and so their solution was to either destroy, or strip the fear away. She had done it for him, she had said, while caressing his hair, as a mother would. She loved him, she said, he was dear to her, she said... but did words such as these bear any weight, when the one saying them could not feel? Such questions he asked himself as he begun to write in the snow. They had taught him that, their language, the curious symbols. He was her child, wasn't he? Yet he always remembered another time... they could not take it away, not that time. He remembered a woman who had also been his mother, whose embrace was warmer than the one he had in Grisial Palas. Had her name been Ailis? Yes... But Gwenneth was his now, she had said so. And her word, she always meant it. He could hear her silver voice call him, and he turned to answer...
He was in a forest. No, not a forest… The forest, the one where he had lost himself, at the feet of the tall mountains, where they had found him. He looked around himself and could hear their faint laughs and speech, as they traveled all around him. He thought he heard a baby's cry too… Had someone else lost their way here? Perhaps they were being hunted, another of their cruel games. He felt… apprehension. How odd… or was it the memory of the place, the memory of the emotions he had felt on that day? An echo of something he had lost? Echo of something they had taken… Cold, the river, terror… gone. They had taken the fear away. He begun to walk among the woods, his eyes seeking something, anything, that might help him find his way. It was then he found his father. He had always had only one father, a man that had loved him… and then hated him when he had returned. Tepes did not understand the change, or perhaps he did; they had changed him, it was undeniable. Now he was standing before him, as angry as he had been when leaving after the clan had exiled them, after they had grown too afraid of the Changeling. Was it the nightmares that plagued him? He had drawn those on himself, by treating Tepes with such hostility… It was not that he cared about his survival, not really, not since they had taken the fear away… But he did want to see this story to its end… see how it would all end. Besides, he felt his part was not yet done, and what kind of actor would he be, to leave before his appointed time? Now he saw his broken corpse, after he had pushed him off… yet instead of his mother Ailis, it was Gwenneth he felt approach him, and just as she was about to touch him…
He woke up in the Outrider camp. For Tepes, waking from a dream was a very subtle thing. No gasp, no sudden rise from his position, nothing, except that his eyes opened suddenly, without warning. He looked around him and rose quietly, as silent as a ghost might be... or as they were. The Tylwyth, it was the name they wore, their title, just as his was Changeling. It suited him, did it not? The legends spoke of children stolen by the Haunters, the strange creatures that lurked in the night, when it was cold, who would, for their own wicked reasons, steal away children… and exchange them with their own. Tepes knew Tylwyth would not give their own children so… they were rare. What the legends referred to, however, were probably children such as him. Returned to their families either because they had escaped, like he had, or they had been sent back out of malice, as cold and empty as the ones who had taken them away… empty of warmth and love. Sometimes the role of parents was too much to even these accomplished actors, it would seem. Was he supposed to be amused at the thought? He walked outside, his look empty, and was met with the familiar embrace of outside cold. Since having the fear taken away, Tepes had never been warm, even when sitting beside a fire, or in the embrace of his mother, Ailis. Gwenneth had always felt cold.
He walked away from the place that served as his temporary home. They moved a lot, the Outriders, something that suited Tepes just fine. If they had stayed in one place for too long, his mother and the others serving her would find him, and while not afraid of that prospect, he would feel slight disappointment were he not to find out any more of this particular story, before going back to the icy halls of Grisial Palas. The memories of his time before still haunted him… yet something was missing. Finding his mother again should have given him some form of completion, made him feel accomplished… yet it had not. Something was missing… was it the fear? Fear… and all it implied? He stopped, suddenly, as he walked, and looked around again. When he had found his intended destination, he begun to walk once more, his footprints barely deforming the snow under his weight. They had raised him to be like them. It had been difficult at first, but what else was he supposed to do? They had taken the fear away.
Eventually he arrived to Tristan's own home, as it were, and entered, his passing as quiet and cold as the whisper of the northern wind. Had it spoken his name? Was she calling him still? Moving like a ghost, he arrived where Tristan slept. He stood there, looking at the man. What was he dreaming? He did not treat Tepes badly… so he did not get nightmares. Still… he was curious. Perhaps he should ask him. No, he had come for another reason. "
Are we going to practice hunting again?
" he asked. His voice was quiet, and devoid of any emotion. The fact that he was intruding, and talking to a man that appeared to be sleeping, did not bother Tepes. He had spoken to sleeping along with dead ones before. It was something Gwenneth had told him, that their kind could do, speak to them, make them obey… She had made him try, but there had been nothing. Instead they had ended up going on a hunt, a wild hunt, where they would capture any still out at night, away from the protection of rivers, wards and obsidian. Tepes blinked, and went back to the present story. The-Man-Who-Hated-Kings still had to play his part, whatever it was, and the youth possessed a faint curiosity as to what it might entailed.
Wake, Enemy-Of-Lords, leave Tir o Freuddwydion and play your part.
" he spoke, more than he usually did. Perhaps impatience made him speak more... impatience... he had not felt that in a while. But was it really? Or was it hope, misguided as it might be, that he could feel something, anything?
Hope. Another thing he hadn't felt in a long time.

Sleep came fretfully to Tristan, it could never claim him for longer than a few hours there was always something that needed dealing with and sleep left him vulnerable. It was why the right hand side of his bed was reserved for the long great sword normally secured down his back and a dagger hidden amongst the furs that he rested his head upon. The wooden hut where he resided in this village was one of the larger ones, lined with furs from animals that had been either their food or desperate enough to attack, animals that those on the other side of the pit had not dreamed of. Soon it would lay bare apart from the furniture when they moved deeper into the forest, there were stirrings at the pit. Patrols had been seen growing in their boldness, his group had stayed too long and if they had to reclaim what was rightfully theirs when they moved to another of their camps then the noise of battle would attract those they'd rather avoid. The wardings would have to be renewed as well, it would take time. Some may grumble about the moving territories but better to move than to be found.
The whisper of footfalls on the floor made him stir, stretching till his fingers enclosed on the cold steel hilt of his dagger. His mind still claimed by the foggy folds of sleep but his senses were keen. There were few who walked so softly in camp, not to mention the coil of coldness that had snaked its way around the room, it could only of been Tepes. There were plenty amongst the Outriders that took issue at the presence of Tepes in their midst, they said he was different and attributed the nightmares that plagued their nights to him. Tristan had growled at every complaint that had come his way, Tepes was a part of them now he afforded the same protection as they were entitled too but that would probably not stop some inflicting their version of retribution on the lad. So the young one was allowed certain liberties, one of them being the freedom of Tristan's quarters. He'd also decided to take some of Tepes training into his own hands, the boy was bright, incredibly so, he learnt fast and was already well a head of those his age.
Pulling the furs further up he denied his eyes the world, keeping the peaceful façade of sleep going. He could feel Tepes watching him, those icy blue eyes which felt like they could pierce into the very depths of peoples souls, fortunately Tristan did not believe he had one any more, he had traded it for this life. Not all at once but piece by piece he'd lost it. He could live with that, as long as he kept his freedom. Something made him hesitate when answering, it was so rare to hear Tepes voice that he had to stop a smile. Too soon to give up the game but the boy was damn insistent. It was almost a shock to hear him speak again so soon, he rolled onto his back facing the boy with a small smile then sat up.
"Hail Little One."
Tristan greeted him grabbing the loose shirt draped the roughly built wooden chair by his bed, glad he'd slept in pants. Tugging it on he rose ignoring Tepes demanding presence as he readied himself. He knew the child watched everything, you could feel his gaze upon you, it made Tristan do everything with more care especially when it came to securing his weapons about his person. With his long sword fastened it made it difficult to sling his bow and quiver on his back but eventually everything fit with easy access, he handed Tepes a small bower with his own quiver. The boy was proficient enough at stealth to be able to blend with the surrounding forest, how to move unseen and unheard to now be taught how to shoot.
"Come then. A hunting we shall go."
No one stirred in the village, all that could be seen was the figures of Tristan and Tepes. The older males eyes constantly moving over everything, he was anxious to be out amongst the wilds but leaving the village always made him wary. If something were to happen whilst he was away it would be on his head, this did not stop him though, there were others to step into a role he had not asked for. Crushing his voice to meet the sound of his breathing so Tepes alone would hear,
"Watch out for hunters and scouts, I want to know if they notice us and their positions."
It was a test for both the boys and those that were guarding the village, if Tepes could spot them they needed to hide better. That was no a comment upon his skill, the child was naturally observant. The elite would not be seen and Tristan wanted nothing but the elite.
His posture changed as they went deeper into the undergrowth, his feet were placed carefully and soundless as to leave no tracks. Ahead twigs had been snapped off a branch and cropped grass stood in patches, snatched here and there.
"Find it!"
Uttering so not to disturb any beast that lingered.

There may have been a flicker in his eyes as Tristan woke and answered, upon being called "Little One" by the man. It might have been amusement, the kind that one would feel upon one of their favourite characters of a particular story said something funny. He liked Enemy-Of-Lords, or Tristan as the man was called by the other actors in the play that was their mortal existence. He watched, expressionless, as the man moved to gather his weapons and secure them on his person. The North was a dangerous place, of course, and the fools who underestimated it hardly ever became characters that Tepes might bother to know. They certainly weren't people, the Tylwyth had made it clear, with their games played often at the expanse of human lives. Perhaps Tristan would have survived the games, or avoid being caught. He was curious to see what might bring down the man, in the end, what would bring the adventure that was his life to an end. Would it be underestimating a foe? A betrayal? Tragic love perhaps? He did not know, but he did intend to find out. To do so, he would have to know how to take care of himself, of his body through which he might experience the story that was his. Besides, he might not have a cliff nearby to push someone down, should he need to kill again. The fact that it had been his father barely registered in the child's mind.
Tepes took the bow that was offered and followed Tristan out, back in the deeper cold of the night. At Tristan's orders, Tepes nodded, though in truth, Tepes rarely followed them, with the exception of when he was being taught... if it did not sound utterly stupid to his ears. As it was, he listened and decided he would follow Tristan's words, if only out of faint curiosity to whether he would succeed or not. His mother and her kind had been like ghosts, yet the other Outriders were also skilled in the arts of stealth, their survival depended on it. And so the child's cold, piercing gaze swept upon the land around him, seeking some hints that might betray the presence of hidden Outriders. It was not easy, but he did notice some signs. "
A depression in the snow there, and there's this rock over there that isn't a rock. And up that tree there, the slight shimmering of crystallized air.
" he pointed out, each a sign of someone, Outrider or not, present. With the proximity to the camp, Tepes was quite sure those would be the men posted on the lookout. He did not care whether they did their job or not, it was not important to Tepes. If he was to die in the night, his throat slit by another Outsider, due to the lookouts outside not having done their job, he would not feel any emotion. Perhaps a slight irritation.
When Tristan pointed out the marks, Tepes looked down, observing them, and if possible... froze. He became absolutely still, staring at the marks, ones he had seen before, in another place, another time... another world, if one felt poetic. "
You don't find them, they find you.
" he answered. He was not afraid, they had taken the fear away. But he did feel... colder. As cold as he did when his mother stroked his hair, when he was back there, with the Tylwyth. The Ancients, as the Outsiders called them, in their legends and tales. Between the Ancients and the Wild Hunt, it was hard to tell which the Outsiders feared the most. "
They use mountain cats to hunt, like the lords of the south use dogs. If one was here, a Tylwyth, an Ancient, was here as well.
" he said, his voice as cold as the climate in which they lived in. He wondered if it was luck or some hint that had escaped him. How could they know where he was? No, this wasn't about him, it couldn't be. Unless she was still playing her role of the mother? He looked around, quickly, his gaze trying to find any hint as to whether the Tylwyth might still be around. Then he turned back to Tristan, and regarded him with eyes that had seen much, too much. "
It may be that Tir o Freuddwydion should have kept you longer, Enemy-Of-Lords.

A replica of celebrations in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
Director's Kut's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, on Star Plus, recently saw the track wherein Naitik (Karan Mehra) got out of coma and regained consciousness.
As per sources, the upcoming episodes will see loads of drama as it will be replete with festive flavor.

And now that he is back to senses, the family has planned to celebrate each and every festival all over again. So the coming episodes will see family members preparing for Diwali celebrations.
Meanwhile, Naksh (Shivansh Kotiyan) is feeling a bit insecure and neglected as everyone in the family is now taking utmost care of Naitik. However, Akshara (Hina Khan) will be seen explaining to him that his father loves him too.
Moreover, Naitik and Naksh will also be seen bonding up!

Post-Brighton snowboarding beer at this nice SLC establishment. The "steamer" poured a crystal clear golden with a thin, bluish white head. Smell: light, fruity malts with a doughy backbone, with light, citrusy hops. Taste is much like the smell. Very smooth and went down pretty easily with my salmon pita. Another average UT beer

text: He was really great at college level when he played his game and had the green light to shoot 3's. I believe he can be a great spot up shooter. Two things I noticed when he plays is he shy's away too much and pass up open shots, very rare that we call for a play for him. If I was Keith Smart ill encourage jimmer to fire at will even if its 3 feet behind the line. Salmons take more 3's than jimmer which I dont get. Build his confidence up and I think we will create more opportunities for our offense. A simple play like tyreke or salmons driving and a kick out to jimmer will do wonders.

The American Cancer Society has been an active part of Hamilton County for many years, offering a number of patient and family services, cancer support groups, tobacco control programs, lifesaving educational tools and research. Soon to approach its 100th year, the society continues its mission, thanks to the help of generous volunteers and dedicated staff.
The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is a community event in every sense of the word. It is a chance for the community to come together for one common cause. Being a part of Relay for Life means you are making life better for cancer survivors, patients and their families.
But we are faced with a critical shortage of volunteer leaders. With the challenges of our economy and dad-to-day demands, time has become a premium and many people are finding it more difficult to participate in community service. It is because of the volunteers who preceded us, however, that certain types of cancer are now highly treatable, or even curable. With more help, we will continue to win the fight.
The American Cancer Society needs your help now. Plans are now under way for the annual Relay for Life of Hamilton County, to support cutting-edge cancer research, help provide free transportation to treatment, help prevent youth smoking, publish lifesaving literature and develop a new generations of weapons to fight cancer.
We will be having a meeting Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Aurora Public Library in Aurora. This meeting will be a great opportunity for survivors and their caregivers, families and friends to join in the planning of the 2013 Relay for Life of Hamilton County event and help us fight back against cancer.
Pleas let us know if you have any questions or concerns by contacting any of the event leadership. Thank you for all that you do for your community and Relay for Life. We hope you can join us in making Relay for Life of Hamilton County better than ever in 2012.
Once again I am reminded of the goodness in people. As the new TeamMates coordinator I see the generosity of people in our community over and over again. TeamMates is the mentoring program for young people that was founded by Nancy and Tom Osborne.
This past Sunday was no exception. Harv Bish again gave all the proceeds from his Classic Car Show to our Aurora TeamMates Chapter.
Individuals, organizations, businesses and foundations of our community continually provide time and financial support. The mentors give one hour a week to be at school with their mentees. Because of all the volunteers this program can make a difference in the lives of our youth.
The list of those making a difference goes on and on. With gratitude, we thank you for your goodness.
Dear Editor:
The students of Aurora High School were treated last week at our Career & College Day with a record number of business representatives. There were 120 businesses in attendance -- what an incredible opportunity for our students!
There are so many things that make Aurora special, and the support from the business community is astounding and sincerely appreciated! You are all making a difference if the lives of our students with your encouragement and involvement. Thank you.
Our three commissioners -- Larry Fox, Tim Bergen and Doug Andersen -- are just a big joke.
If they want to evaluate all the workers they should start with themselves. I would evaluate Larry Fox at a big 0 and recommend no pay at all. Bergen and Andersen, I would rate them a 1 with most of their pay taken away.
You three clowns should follow the handbook yourselves. Isn't there a county attorney or a state attorney who can do something with these three clowns. Termination of all three of these commissioners would be fitting, or a ride in a very slow boat to China.
If Tim Bergen wasn't Larry Fox's puppet, he wouldn't let Larry Fox run all over him when he recommended a written reprimand for Kent Tucker. Larry Fox sounds like a dictator. We don't need you Larry Fox. Go home and stay there.
Doug Andersen reflects very poorly on the whole county when he said Wally shouldn't act as a liaison to Darla because he likes her. Well all three of you other commissioners hate her, so that isn't right at all.
In any business some level of certainty is always beneficial. That certainty provides a basis to make short term and long term plans, assess investments into the business or needed changes to an operation.
My farming operation is no different! The farm bill sets farm policy for the next five years so it is extremely important to you and me to know what that policy will be.
This year has given us plenty of uncertainty due to a drought that has plagued the nation and the implications can be seen across many facets of agriculture. But as a farmer one certainty that I am asking for is a farm bill. Whether you are a food producer or food consumer, you should be asking for the same and I ask that you pass along your message that we want a Farm Bill Now!
The current farm bill is set to expire this year and collectively Congress has yet to pass a farm bill although a version has been passed by the Senate, a version has yet to be passed by the House. I and other producers need the certainty that a farm bill provides as we begin to make decisions for next year, decisions that include thousands of dollars in seed, chemical, fertilizer and other inputs.
As a food consumer or a food producer, you have a voice and now is the time to send a message to those that represent you -- that we need the certainty that a farm bill can provide and we need it now.
In closing, time is running out for action. Congress will only be in session a few days in September and then the "lame duck session" following the November elections. So I ask that you visit with your senator or congressman, thank them for their past work and ask them to press for passage of a farm bill. You can also go to www.farmbillnow.com and send a message via Twitter or Facebook or simply sign a petition.
Your story about the certainty that a farm bill would provide your operation is a powerful message, and one that I ask you share with your representative or senator.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Fire Investigators now say an apartment fire on Odom Avenue Wednesday was caused by an overloaded extension cord. They don't want the same to happen in your home.
Firefighters warn that with summer heat, air conditioners will be running around the clock in many homes.
Light load extension cords can not handle that voltage, so they say don't use them on air conditioning units.
Albany Fire Department Assistant Chief Allen Cravey said "Any time you can avoid using extension cord, you need to. It's just another link in the process that can malfunction. So if the situation does require you to use an extension cord, then you need to get the heaviest cord that you can."
Firefighters say it's the same fire hazard as using extension cords to power space heaters in the winter.
If an appliance is going to run for long periods of time, the extension cord powering it can overload and ignite.

Title: Dream Catchers: How Mainstream America Discovered Native Spirituality
Author: Philip Jenkins
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Interesting critical analysis of how American culture appropriates others beliefs
Provides insight on the history and development of American religion, culture, politics
Good for anyone interested in American religion or Native American beliefs
Limited discussion of what Native Americas really believe, if thats what you are looking for
Analysis of how Native American religion has been used by others
Argues that Native American religion is normally portrayed in a manner suited to meet others needs
Book Review
There is an incredible hunger for Native religious and spiritual beliefs in America. A profitable industry caters to this hunger and, apparently, clients are getting something out of it the industry only keeps growing. Many justifiably object to the transformation of sacred symbols and practices into fodder for consumers, but its an improvement over the days when these beliefs were denigrated and suppressed right?
Understanding the religious beliefs of Native Americans would thus appear to be a good idea; unfortunately, its difficult to come by accurate and fair information. Much of what people think they know is heavily filtered by white Americans assumptions and desires. As Philip Jenkins explains in his book Dream Catchers: How Mainstream America Discovered Native Spirituality, the rest of America has invented fantasy after fantasy about Indians based upon whatever was needed or just socially fashionable at the time:
- Native spirituality has changed kaleidoscopcially over time, mirroring the prevailing obsessions of the mainstream society. Originally, Indians were presented as benighted savages whose crying spirtual needs justified the colonial errand into the Wilderness.
- When white Americans wanted to believe that Indians were the lost tribes of Israel, they sought (and found) Old Testament parallels in their worship. When spiritualism was a national craze, Indians were exciting because of their ability to cross the worlds between living and dead... Later, Native pagans were thought to rain a sensual spirituality of the body that had been destroyed by the world-denying sterilities of Christianity... If drugs were fashionable, then Indian religion was fascinating because of its integration of mind-altering substances... Indians today are models of ecological gender-sensitive religion, true sons and daughters of Mother Earth.
The purpose of Jenkins book isnt to explain real Native American religion, scraping away the barnacles of history and misunderstanding. Instead, the purpose is a bit of reverse anthropology. If peoples understanding of Indian spirituality is conditioned by religious or social needs, than an examination of this spirituality should provide an interesting perspective on those needs and the people themselves. The topics in American religion which Jenkins in this manner investigates are:
- ...notions of religious diversity and pluralism; the legal position of religion and religious toleration; the cultural and religious impact of relativism; the shifting definition of religious actions or behavior; the growing recognition of womens spirituality; and a growing reverence for the primal and the primitive.
In the process of exploring how Americans have distorted Indian beliefs, he of course has to explain a bit of about what those beliefs really are and thereby undermines a number of popular myths. Its not a communal religiosity that can be contrasted with North American individualism. Its not any more grounded in the Mother Earth than European religious beliefs. Its certainly not monolithic in its practices, beliefs, and attitudes.
The book, though, isnt so much about Indian religion as it is about white Americans (mis)appropriate of Indian religion and what this tells us about religion, politics, and society through American history. Its an interesting and insightful perspective we really learn a lot about Americans attitudes towards religion as well as Native Americans this way.

Very comfortable ballet flat
"This is the FIFTH pair of plain black ballet flats that we have purchased for my daughter. She needs them for her chorus performances and she is the Goldilocks of ballet flats they have been too big or too small, too tight or too loose. But this pair, this pair was just right. She loves this pair. She loves them so much that we had to buy another pair so she could wear them every day and not just for chorus performances. They are comfy and go with everything. She is never out of them. And as she is 10, that says a lot."

text: After listening to this album once, i can't say i was over impressed, probably the greatness of how you remind me overlooked the rest of the album and made it seem quite plain. four hours later the albums is still going strong on repeat and keeps geting better. Each song has its own sound and the pace keeps up with the powerful and energetic sound and theres the voice too match it. Labelled as post-grunge or as some are saying alt/nu-grunge, this is impressive and unlike some of the latest 'grunge' efforts all tryin to copy eddie vedder, this sets standards for new grunge bands and also adds some originality to the scene. Best five songs have to be how you remind me, [radio friendly, quality and addictive describe this] Never again [great vocals, wicked riffs, superb] Just For [ Another wicked riff , reminds me of teen spirit abit and the vocals seem a bit staind'ish] Hollywood [ some neat vocal effects add to another great song] Good Times Gone [ possibly the most balladish song on the album and also the longest, ends the album on a very high note.]overall some people may say this album is the same because all the songs are in your face rock, no extra fast or slow songs or very heavy stuff……….but the quality is here without a doubt and thats why a high 5 is on order!cya! gonna check out their first album 'state'
