The War of Theramore was a conflict between the Scourge led and Theramore Isle. It was a roleplay event on Moonglade (EU). Approximately twenty different players took part in the event, mainly population of the Regiment of Theramore who started the event. The war lasted three years according to the event, but took almost 8 months real-time. It was a closed event, leaving many unwanted players out of the event. It took place in the years 25 - 28 on the official timeline, setting the event between the Third War and the events of World of Warcraft.
Tristam Galahand and his fellow knights of Stonewatch were returning from a campaign one day, having slain the orcish invaders that threatened to siege their Keep, as their march back to the keep through the Redridge Mountains was interupted, by a sorcerer of Dalaran. Sent as an emissary by Lady Jaina Proudmoore's command, he told Tristam and his men of the fleets that were to sail to Kalimdor, in order to find a new land and a new kingdom. Tristam and many of the knights accepted, heading north to Menethil Harbor.
Tristam, his wife Anthea, and his children Melkorius and Inell set out to Menethil Harbor with all their belongings. On the road through the Wetlands, the party from Stonewatch was sieged by orcs. Many were killed or taken hostage, and only a few survived. Tristam watched his wife murdered, and his son, Melkorius, dragged off by orcs, whilst the Knight-Captain who led the party forbid Tristam to run after him, for the safety of the few survivors.
When the fleet arrived on Kalimdor, Sir Tristam impressed Lady Jaina not only by his accomplishments in the Eastern Kingdoms, but also through his efforts aiding her regiment. Upon Theramore's completion, she awarded Tristam the rank of Chamberlain, which was later renamed to Highlord to match that of Stormwind's Highlord, Bolvar Fordragon.
War of Theramore
Chapter I
A few years after the end of the Third War, Highlord Tristam Galahand was captured by Theramore deserters. Held hostage at Lost Point in the marshes, Theramore's regiment sent out men to rescue Tristam, accompanied by a volunteer Stormwind knight. With the help of the knight, they successfully destroyed the outpost and brought the Highlord back to the Foothold Citadel in Theramore unharmed.
Tristam had his rescuers gathered in the Citadel for rewarding the next day. Arriving late, the knight entered the Citadel and fell in line with the soldiers. When Tristam came to the knight and asked his name, the knight removed his helm and spoke: "I am Melkorius.. Your son." Melkorius then drew his sword and attacked the Highlord, but not before Tristam drew Galardell and plunged it through Melkorius' heart in self-defense.
Weeks passed. Unsure if he should regret his actions or not, Tristam confined himself to his Citadel. Sitting behind his table on the top floor, Tristam heard screams from outside. He stood, took hold of Galardell and prepared to move out with his guardsmen, but before he could, Melkorius strode into the room followed by two ghouls which pounced on the only two guards in the room, devouring them. Melkorius was clad in saronite plate with a runeblade at hand - a Death Knight of the Scourge. Though Tristam knew he would prove no match for Galardell, he refrained from attacking. Taking advantage of this, Melkorius beat his father to the ground and took Galardell from him, and without mercy, plunged it through his shoulder. Melkorius stood proud over his father's dead body, and dropped his runeblade to take Galardell as his new blade. Leaving Tristam to bleed, he cast a death gate to return him to Northrend.
Chapter II
Lady Jaina resued Tristam a few hours later, and brought him to her tower for healing, before enshrouding her tower in a violet dome, alike the one that, at the time, covered Dalaran. Many of Theramore's citizens fled to Stormwind, along with the bulk of the regiment. There, Kyelv Sorel, Admiral of Theramore's regiment, and Adjutant Tesoran sought out Valifar Galahand, Tristam's youngest son - a Knight of the Order of the Sword. Upon finding him, many men of Theramore found hope again, and most returned to the city with Valifar, who they believed could kill his brother and save Theramore. Upon return in Theramore, they were all astomished at what they saw. Ghouls, Abominations, Necromancers and corpses littered to ruined streets. Towers had collapsed. Walls were entwined with black ivy. The fog was thick. And it had the smell of Lordaeron - a stench of undeath.
As soon as reinforcements from Stormwind came a week later, they fell in line and led a full siege on the city. Hearing the men's battle crys, Jaina noticed the conflict on her streets, and unshrouded her dome, spilling out her mages to aid them in battle. Tristam, though still weak and injured, armoured himself and took up an old broasword, fleeing to the docks to rally with Admiral Sorel, avoiding conflict. With their Highlord fighting among them again, Theramore's forces fought their way through the city. Jaina, Tristam and Kyelv led a small force into the Citadel to confront Melkorius. After a short conflict, Tristam managed to drive his sword through Melkorius' plate and through his chest. He fell to the ground, shocked, but his body was summoned away in a dark flash of shadow after, taking Kyelv Sorel with him.
Chapter III
When Melkorius fell, he cursed Admiral Kyelv, causing him to forget his Admiralty, and to think he is a knight of the Argent Dawn in Lordaeron. Melkorius' body lay dying in the plaguelands, in need of healing. He whispered to Kyelv, telling him he is a knight who fell after a battle, in need of aid. Kyelv, thinking it an action of the light, set off with a priest to Melkorius' location and brought him back to health. Melkorius awoke hours later and killed the priest, leaving Kyelv alive, and rode off on his deathcharger. Kyelv then remembered everything and was broke free of the curse.
Melkorius returned to Theramore, backed up with an army of thousands. A battle broke out, but as Melkorius was overwhelmed in battle, his forces lost confidence and fled from him, leaving him to die there. Instead, Tristam successfully knocked him out, took back Galardell and brought him into the Citadel.
Chapter IV
When Melkorius awoke, a young girl named Elosai, Kyelv's sister and High Priestess of the Order of the Sword, stood infront of him. She tried to cure him with her blessed powers in the light. Giving up after an hour, Melkorius laughed and broke free, and walked onto the ruined battlements of the city. The priestess followed him, and pulled him back as he tried to throw himself off the battlements to his death. He refused to accept this as an act of emotion, which Death Knights do not feel. But then he cried, and could do nothing but accept that he had been cured. Falling in love with the priestess, the next day, they both disappeared from Theramore. Weeks later, with no sign of Melkorius or any scourge within the city, Tristam marked the end of the War of Theramore.
- With Theramore again under Tristam's Highlordship, Jaina and him worked together to rebuild and bring the city to peace.
- Citizens returned from Stormwind to there homes in Theramore and the regiment began to rebuild.
- Highlord Tristam, scared for his sin when he killed his son, begins to have visions of himself as a Death Knight. Thinking these visions are warnings from the light, Tristam kills himself, leaving Galardell at the Northshire Abbey.
- Jaina abolishes the Highlord title, soon after both Tristam Galahand's and Bolvar Fordragon's deaths.

Mike and I both fell victim to The Dread Summer Cold over the weekend, but we tried to make the best of it. Dinners were simple grilled meats with fresh veggie sides, and for the most part I didn't take photos. I made an exception for last night's delicious pork tenderloin, seasoned with paprika and fennel seeds (inspired by Terry's recipe). We've used this seasoning twice now on grilled pork, and it is an absolute winner.

This is a fantastic little webcomic from Gav over at Zen Pencils that came out today. A wonderful little tip to all budding artists.
The message is so simple it can seem pointless to express it and all that message says is Don't give up! But it's a message that becomes easy to forget over the constant screw-ups and perceived failures that all budding artists suffer from. All it can take is a misdrawn line that ruins the grey values of a person's cheekbones or using the wrong colour for an undercoat and one can forever decide they're never going to be a real artist.
This is what I hope to help prevent with this site (even if I am terrible at updating and writing and drawing myself). The assumption that your art is magical and instant, and if you can't draw something good the first time then clearly you don't have the talent and should quit immediately. This line of thinking is something that we all end up thinking at many points in our life, and it will destroy you. Don't let it conquer you. Revel in the crapiness of your current work. Slowly trudge up the pile of crap you created beneath you. Sometimes you'll sink further down and you'll wonder how you've somehow gotten worse. But keep at it. The top of your pile of crap will have reached that line you're aiming for, and you'll start getting good without even noticing. This is a good thing. It means that even when you're awesome you'll still be trying to improve (just try not to get bogged down in the negativity of it all).

I received a bulb catalog in the mail what caught my attention was the word SUMMER in Grand Soleil D'Oro Summer Daffodils. I've never heard of such a thing but want to ask around here for who has grown them regarding when they bloom (I'm in zone 7), if they reliably come back year after year like "regular" daffodils such as the King Alfred Daffodils I have, etc.
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, they are not a summer daffodil. Actually, according to Daffseek, Grand Soleil d'Or is a very early blooming daffodil. According to Brent and Becky's Bulbs, it is only hardy to zone 8. I wouldn't purchase anything from a company that gave such bad and misleading product information. I'd suggest ordering from a more reputable source. Sue |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 25, 11 at 11:49
It is actually a cultivar of paperwhite narcissus, Narcissus tazetta ssp. aureus. Doesn't require a chill period to bloom, easy to force in the same manner other paperwhites are and not reliably hardy in the ground in PNW zone 7 or 8. And it doesn't bloom in summer :-) |
It seems that the DirectGardening,com site is a site touting it to be a summer daffodil. That site also sells a daffodil they call Summer Cheer and claim that it is an early summer blooming daffodil. Actually, there is no daffodil by the name of Summer Cheer, but it is a synonym for Erlicheer which is a very early blooming Spring daffodil. I wrote them and told them their product information was incorrect, thus making a bad reputation for themselves and disappointing any customers who are expecting their daffodils to bloom in the summer. I'll report back if I get a reply from them. I am so disgusted by companies that don't know their products, or else are just lying with some of the outrageous information they give about their products. It makes you wonder if they are even gardeners, or no better than big box store stuff. Sue |

I have grown Grand Soleil D'Or here in my 8a garden outdoors. There is no prettier early bloomer, in my opinion. However, there is a virus that seems to affect this strain and after the first year, they return, but rarely bloom, and those will be stunted. The foliage will have brown streaks in it after the first year. I wish I could remember where I read the virus info so you could get more specifics, but do not. However, my plants have done exactly as stated. I pulled them up this past week. I was so sad because they had multiplied, and I loved them the first year. |
Because grand s.d.o. and erlicheer don't require much chilling (if any?), they can be planted in the spring and will bloom in the summer. That's the marketing idea behind this, they are a daffodil for people who forgot to plant them in the fall..... Of course when they bloom in the summer, it's usually hot and the blooms don't last more than a couple days, and then they go onto their early spring schedule for the next year (if they can handle the zone). I remember a couple years ago when earlicheer was marketed heavily by van bourgendien for spring planting and summer bloom. It grew well for a couple years in my zone, but because it's so early the shoots would always get damaged. One winter a warm spell brought it up, then the return of winter killed it. Donna - sorry to hear they don't return.... sometimes the nicest stuff gives you the most trouble....but if it makes you feel any better I keep trying crape myrtles and they keep dying out on me (but I know it's the winter that kills them, not some unseen virus). |
Re: people who forgot to plant their bulbs in the Fall. The low chill req. bulbs are great for those of us living in warm winter areas. We often don't have enough of the cold winter temps. required by many bulbs so these can work quite well.The big challenge in my area is keeping them watered just enough through the winter. |
Because grand s.d.o. and erlicheer don't require much chilling (if any?), they can be planted in the spring and will bloom in the summer. That makes sense, except Erlicheer shown at the link below, says it is hardy from zones 3-8 meaning it would require chilling. Right? I think that just goes to show that some of the General Bulb Merchants are not nearly as good or reliable as some of the others. . The foliage will have brown streaks in it after the first year. I wish I could remember where I read the virus info so you could get more specifics, but do not. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Summer Daffodil Erlicheer at van bourgendien
I'm going to withhold my van bourgendien comments.... and just say their z3-8 rating might be off and that Brent and Becky has Erlicheer listed as z6-9. Just to clarify, I didn't mean to imply that these low chill bulbs are only for "people who forgot to plant in fall"... obviously they've been grown for years as perennials in the warmer zones with fall planting and spring blooms.... I wanted to get across that selling them in the spring as 'summer daffodils' is a marketing gimmick aimed at people who see and want blooming daffodils asap and not in another year's time. |
- Posted by Bangorannie none (My Page) on Fri, Mar 30, 12 at 13:22
I planted Summer Daffodils from Spring Hill Nursery catalog two springs ago. They came up in July, as promised, show-stopping gorgeous, but it was a one-shot deal....they never came back again. I read online it might have been a virus?? |

The Fantasy Mailbag took last week off, as I spent many an hour trying to figure out an argument for the National League winning the All Star Game. It was all for naught, but now it's time to return to our regularly scheduled programming.
What should we expect from Jorge Posada? I went with him as my starting catcher and now he's back on the DL. There's nothing on the free agent market.
This is one of those situations where you're just out of luck. Posada went on the disabled list earlier this season with shoulder issues and is now back there. He said that he is considering season-ending surgery, and that is probably the course of action he'll take. Posada, 36, just signed a four-year deal, so there is no reason for the Yankees to risk serious injury by putting him back out there soon. Drop him and look elsewhere.
Should I pick up Brett Myers?
Myers allowed 115 runs and 44 walks in just 101.2 innings at the major league level. His strikeout numbers weren't too bad at 88. So, what was wrong with Myers? He was just too hittable and walked too many hitters. The Phillies sent him down to the minor leagues to get everything straightened out. How has he progressed? He allowed 24 hits in 27 innings with a 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio. That's a little too hittable for my tastes. I would avoid Myers completely in NL only leagues and would stash him on the bench in mixed leagues.
Is Erik Bedard a buy right now?
If you enjoy injury prone pitchers, feel free to gamble on Bedard. He is currently on the DL battling a sore left shoulder. The Mariners don't know when he'll be healthy enough to return, but they are projecting him to return in early August. He missed 19 days earlier this year due to left hip trouble and had his turn in the rotation skipped several times toward the beginning of the season due to a troublesome oblique. I would not buy Bedard, since his likely performance in the six or so starts he makes the remainder of the season isn't going to be worth much.
Do I go with Edgar Renteria or Troy Tulowitzki for the balance of the season?
You definitely have to go with Tulowitzki. Renteria has had all season to hit, but he hasn't. You just have to pull the plug on him and hope for good things from Tulowitzki. The Rockies's shortstop came back early from his quadriceps injury, but had a stupid injury when he lacerated his hand by slamming down a bat that splintered. He's going to hit; Renteria probably won't.
What's the timetable on David Ortiz?
Not soon enough for this Ortiz owner! Big Papi has been out with that torn tendon sheath, and you would figure that would slow his comeback -- hand injuries usually cause slow returns, because they are so vital to a hitter's timing -- but Ortiz has homered three consecutive days for the Pawtucket. With a series against the Yankees coming up, look for Ortiz to return sometime this week, most likely this weekend.

Your Heart Beat with "B"
Emergent Literacy Design
This lesson is designed to help children identify and pronounce the sound
that the phoneme /b/ makes. Students will learn to recognize phoneme /b/ in
spoken language and the grapheme B in written language. They will apply phoneme
awareness with /b/ in phonetic cue reading by discerning rhyming words with the
same beginning sound.
Materials: chart with tongue tickler, primary paper, pencils, crayons, The
Berenstain's B Book, "B" worksheets for assessment.
Today, we are going to talk about the letter B. I want you to think about the
sound that B says. When you write a big B, you start with a stick and then add a
chest and a belly. When you write a little b, you write a bat and then a ball.
2. As
you think about the sound that B makes, I want you to think about what your
mouth does when you make the B sound. Watch my mouth as I say /b/. Do you see
how both of my lips come together and then open back up as the sound comes out?
The /b/ sound kind of sounds like a beating heart. Put your hand over your heart
and pat your chest as you make the /b/ beating heart.
3. Now
let's see if we can find /b/ in the word "table." I will stretch out the word
and say it in super slow motion. T-a-b-l. T-aaa-b-lll. There it is! I felt my
lips come together and a puff of air come out. I heard /b/ in table.
4. Now
try the tongue tickler "Boo Boo Bear has a brown bow and a blue balloon." Let's
say it together three times. Now this time, make your heart beat every time you
hear /b/. This time say each word without the /b/. "(b)oo (b)oo (b)ear has a (b)rown
(b)ow and a (b)lue (b)alloon."
5. We
are going to use the letter B to spell /b/. When you write a big B, you give him
a back and then a chest and finally a belly. So, you start at the rooftop and go
all the way to the sidewalk. Then, you start at the ceiling to give him a chest
and go only to the fence. From the fence, you make his belly and go all the way
to the sidewalk. Now let me see your big B. For the little b, you start at the
rooftop and go all the way to the sidewalk. Then, you bounce back up to the
fence and come around back to the sidewalk. Now, write nine more.
6. Do
you hear /b/ heart beat in bird or fish? Boat or water? Ball or doll? Bat or mit?
Table or chair? Ask the students to tell you how they know. Now, show me your
heartbeat when you hear /b/ in "Both bunnies are bouncing up and down on the
fluffy, blue bed."
7. I am
going to read The Berenstain's B Book. This book has so many "b" words! Can you
think of any words that begin with "b"? Good. Now let's read the book and find
more words that begin with "b"! After the book, students will think of an
animal that is doing something that start with a B. For example "bumble bee on a
bike", "bear in a bed", etc. They can refer to the book for ideas. They will use
inventive spelling and draw a picture of their "bear in a bed,"etc.
will show the word BAT. I will model how to decide if bat or sat makes the /b/
heartbeat. The B sound makes the heartbeat. B-b-b-at makes the heartbeat. Now
you try. BAKE: bake or cake? BALL: fall or ball? BEAR: bear or care? BIT: fit or
bit? CAB: cat or cab?
9. For

Oh and one last thing my parents are still together after 25 years. And my mom still gets shit from my dads side of the family. So you may just have to get used to it. Alot of people from mexico have a tremendous amount of pride.
Dear Mexican: I was born in Los Estados Unidos, my father is from Tamaulipas, and my mother is a third-generation Chicana. I'm married to a Mexicano, and we recently vacationed in his home town of Apatzingan, Michoacán. It was my first time meeting my in-laws and everyone from his colonia. It seems I got the evil staredown and was being asked all kinds of questions to prove my Mexicanana-ness from all his primas, tias and friends. They couldn't wait for me to fuck up a word in Spanish, and asked if I cooked, liked banda music and knew how to make tortillas. I answered that I worked full-time, make an okay mole de pollo, like all kinds of music except for banda, and buy my tortillas from the supermarket.
However, I got the impression it wasn't enough; I felt I am not a real Mexicana to them. After expressing this to my husband, all he could say was that I am not a Mexican, I am a Chicana, and that's different. We are different people, but how different can we really be? Will Mexicanos ever see Chicanos as equals? Will I never be seen as an equal by my Mexican in-laws, or will they eventually see that the only difference between us is that my mom gave birth to me north of the frontera? It seems there is a thick line drawn between those of us born north and south of the Mexican-American border. I can handle discrimination from gabachos or any other race (shit, I'm used to it by now), but this — this is really unjust. Why do men and women from Mexico seems to consider themselves superior to Chicanos?
Puzzled Chicana
Dear Pocha: Next time some wab gives you grief about not being Mexican enough, just tell them you have the best of both worlds: You're Mexican and American — while they're just...Mexicans.
Dear Mexican: I hear a lot of accordion-heavy music on Spanish-language radio. Do Mexican women go crazy for accordionists like white girls do for guitarists? White women are reverse-attracted to guys who can play the accordion really well — to them, it's the same as guys who can play Dungeons & Dragons really well, at least in the paleface tribe I pow-wow with. Can my musical skills translate into muchos mujeres?
A 40 and an Accordion
Dear Gabacho: Time was when the accordion player was the papi chulo of the Mexican regional music world, but tuba players have usurped the position in the past couple of years for banda music and that horrible-sounding banda-conjunto norteño pendejada. Unfortunately, the instrument's elevated status has led to a rash of tuba thefts from high schools and junior highs by aspiring tuba players who usually target Mexican-heavy schools and therefore screw over youngsters whose band departments can't afford tubas in these Great Recession times. Moral of the story? As with the question before, sometimes, the worst enemies of Mexicans are...Mexicans. La raza unida and all that jamas shit, cabrones.
Oh and one last thing my parents are still together after 25 years. And my mom still gets shit from my dads side of the family. So you may just have to get used to it. Alot of people from mexico have a tremendous amount of pride.
But the main reason they despise you is because your mother is chicana. If both of your parents were mexicanos they wouldnt trip.
Theyre just jealous youre chicana. My moms a 6th generation chicana from san antonio and my father is from guanajuato. So trust me ive dealt with it too. To be a chicano is soooo different from being mexicano. Food, music, customs, certain spanish words, are all diff for chicanos. And they know that and you should too. Thats just how people act when youre different. If you cave into their judgement theyll walk all over you. Youre chicana be proud of that the same way they are proud of being national mexicanos! They will never see you as the same. Just like any other american. Same thing happens when a black person goes to africa or a german american descendant goes to germany. Theyre not seen as the same. Its a culture thing not a race thing. There is a difference.

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster Review
The must-buy Kinect game for kids.
I'm happy to belong to the generation that grew up watching Sesame Street. It was just so much better to learn the alphabet and how to count from a bunch of random fuzzy monsters. So of course I couldn't help but chuckle to myself when I picked up Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster for the Xbox 360, as a wave of nostalgia brought back Cookie Monster, Elmo, Big Bird, and the countless other characters I grew up watching.
Once Upon a Monster is a perfect game for younger kids, as it's instantly accessible thanks to the magic of Kinect. While the entire game clocks in at only a few hours, its undeniable charm will have kids popping the game into their Xbox over and over again. You start the game with the loveable Elmo and Cookie Monster opening a storybook aptly titled "Once Upon a Monster". The first chapter introduces you to a monster called Marco, who is having a rather depressing birthday party. Elmo and Cookie Monster try to help Marco have fun by organizing a series of mini games that you can take part in.
These offer plenty of variety, so you'll find yourself dancing in once game, picking outfits in another, dancing along with Disco Grover, and running through forests to collect streamers. Each chapter brings along new and recognizable characters to the game, and there's plenty for gamers to interact with on their adventure. There are also random moments where voice input is required, whether this is shouting 'Happy Birthday' at your TV or leaning forward to try and blow out candles on a cake. It's these little gimmicks that keep the game interesting and fun at the same time.
While I was able to breeze through most of the game, you have to keep in mind that it is geared towards younger gamers, so what you might be able to play through in a few hours will certainly take a lot longer for kids. And since the game oozes Sesame Street charm with its playful musical score and loveable characters, there's little time to be bored at all. The overall presentation is perfect for kids, and while the characters and levels aren't as detailed as other games, they really don't have to be. The game is perfect as it is, and proves to be a great distraction for kids while still being educational. There are a few glitches with the audio playback at times, but these are hardly noticeable at times.
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is a properly executed Kinect game for kids that doesn't try to do a hundred things just to be appealing. At last here's an enjoyable title that stands to be a firm favorite for anyone looking for an educational game for their kids to play.

The state of Georgia carried out the sentence of death by lethal injection on inmate Troy Anthony Davis this week. Davis, a black man, faced execution for the murder of a white police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah Ga. The murder took place Aug. 19, 1989.
While it is impossible for me, or any other person not privy to the trial transcripts, to judge fairly the outcome, it is possible for us to review the public response to this execution.
Public reaction to this execution by the state of Georgia, perhaps more than other state capital punishment cases, sent the world of social media, like Twitter and Facebook, into a frenzy. While it is common for intense commentary to occur on these sites, it is important to note that much of the conversation derives from the source of personal opinion about politics and who is who's new boo.
In this case, the action of a state or governmental entity precipitated and laid the foundation for the storm of debate. The opinions ranged from the validity or invalidity of the death penalty to the charge of racism by the state of Georgia in the application of this penalty.
Regardless of which position taken in this case, one thing is abundantly clear: Society should never glory in the death of another, even if that person is convicted of a capital crime.
In addition, after perusing the reaction in social media, as well as the reactions from those who comment on articles from publications on the Internet, I think it's clear that this case opens the wounds of racism that for many people remained unhealed.
For some, the death of Troy Davis seems to be a painful remainder of a past time in the United States. While we cannot deny the shameful history of this country regarding race relations, it is equally true tremendous progress is evident.
However, for those still stinging from personal experience of the past, passed down pain from a previous generation, or the perception of injury that stems from carrying the unnecessary baggage of victimization, the action by Georgia elicits painful reverberations in their spirit.
This is why I preach and teach freedom from the results of racism whether perceived or real. Far too prevalent for many, lurking just below the surface of the psyche is the unresolved pain of racism. When incidents like the capital punishment death of a black man for killing a white man occur, many black people bristle because of what feels like the ignoring of an aggrieved position.
It is this aggrieved status that could be the driving force behind the outrage that would cause television Judge Greg Mathis to post a YouTube video in response to the Davis case.
While my comments do not intend to argue the guilt or innocence of Davis or the validity of the death penalty, I must say I find it more than a bit unsettling when someone of the stature of Judge Mathis makes comments about a case over which he did not preside, nor did he say he read the trial transcript and looked at the evidence.
I would expect someone of the intellectual stature of Judge Mathis to be a bit more forthcoming if indeed he had intimate knowledge of this case. Perhaps he had such knowledge, but simply could not share it in the 10-minute YouTube time limit.
Regardless, the issue of resolving the hurt of the past should involve a collective mindset among blacks to release this pain in a positive manner. Such things as speaking frankly with our children about race, without passing the pain of our lives to them, and helping them understand people exist among us who simply live in ignorance.
At the risk of sounding like Malcolm X when asked what can white people do to help, I would suggest my white brothers and sisters embrace the reality that many minorities, black and otherwise, still smart from the perception that America seems to want to remain detached from its past sins.
Simply put, only the most uninformed among us expects people who had nothing to do with slavery can remedy this horror of our country's history. But it is not unreasonable to expect that those who bristle at our reaction should also understand that, in many minority communities, there is a degree of suspicion surrounding the actions of government, criminal justice and law enforcement authorities.
In light of these suggestions, the reality is that it is time for the wound to heal. This open sore in the psyche of people who are otherwise committed to surviving and advancing, serves as a barrier to the very success and advancement they seek.
I speak not to the intentionally uninformed who desire to wallow in illogic. On the contrary, I speak to those who want the American dream and are willing to work for it.
My words are to those of you who yearn for success in the land of the free and home of the brave. You can heal, and your healing has nothing to do with changing how people view you, only how you view yourself.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Benjamin Urgent!
Facts about Benjamin Urgent
- Breed: Chow Chow/Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Benjamin Urgent's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Benjamin is super, super sweet but quite shy and timid. He needs to learn to trust again and can only do that in his own, safe home. This sweet boy just needs a second chance to blossom.
We are looking for a great foster, or better yet, a wonderful home.
We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations range from $150-$250. Thank you for stepping up to save a life!
To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
Other Pets at Saving Great Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Benjamin Urgent, a San Diego Chow Chow/Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chow Chow/Golden Retriever for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Chow Chow/Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chow Chow/Golden Retriever breeders who help with Chow Chow/Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

Wake up, Polly Parrot.
I've sold a few SF stories to pro markets, so I must be an expert by now, right? Well, guess again. Using my considerable experience in the field, I've taken all the best SF ideas and rolled them into what I thought was one blockbuster of an SF tale. The trouble is, no on seems to want to buy this one, not even the lowliest of the pays-in-copies markets. I just can't figure it out. What's wrong with this story?
"Huh. What's that noise?" grumbled Deek Flycatcher, roused from his slumber by the piercing shriek of a H'chumn attack fighter. The dark alien vessel strafed Deek's campsite, but luckily Deek escaped with only a fleshwound to the shoulder, which the nanodocs in his bloodstream easily healed within minutes. Deek stood stock still while the marauding H'chumn ship hovered closer to survey the damage.
Deek waited until the alien vessel was close enough to see the hideous H'chumn piloting in the control bubble. H'chumns were the vilest of offworld creatures. At just the right moment, Deek whipped around into his throwing stance, twirled his leather sling and let fly a stone the size of a katoo-katoo egg. The rock flew unerringly to its mark, shattering the ship's bubble and striking the alien pilot squarely in the head. The craft dropped from the sky like a blapped flengmotz.
The dazed H'chumn was still alive when Deek reached the downed ship, and was struggling to free itself from its harness. Deek felt a tickle in his throat and coughed, and the H'chumn instantly fell limp -- the ultimate warrior killed dead, no doubt, by some innocuous germ expelled by Deek's cough!
Deek studied the dead alien. Hideous it was, with its head all covered with stringy strands that resembled thwaight-worms. The monster wore a suit of shiny fabric, with some odd characters emblazoned on a globe-like insignia: N-A-S-A. Deek pointed a rubbery tentacle at the dead H'chumn and spat a great gob of purple squink juice at it. "Die, alien scum!" he cursed angrily.
* * *
"Huh? Wow, you wouldn't believe the weird dream I just had," exclaimed Lieutenant Deek, waking from the cryonic suspension. Deek was the commander of the Lady Madonna , one of the Terran mercy ships sent to the newly discovered planet Gowanandoit. Deek looked in a conveniently placed mirror and admired his wavy blond hair, deep-set steely blue eyes and craggy jaw.
"While you were frozen," voiced Ensign Lara, who had small but perfect breasts, "the despicable, underhanded P'poil destroyed our sister ship, the Stairway To Heaven . As you know, since the Jumpin' Jack Flash was destroyed earlier, this makes you and me the last survivors of the human mission of mercy."
"It can't be!" howled Deek. "I need to . . . forget. Something to take my mind off our predicament, even if but only for a few moments."
Deek stepped up to a nearby viewscreen and booted up the "Interstellar Marauder" shoot-em-up game. Within mere minutes he had wiped out the animated aliens, freeing the gaming galaxy from the simulated severity of the electronic enemies.
"Lieutenant Deek, you have saved us," cried Ensign Lara. "The P'poil have all been eradicated, thanks to your skill on the computer warfare controller."
"You mean it wasn't just some mindless game?" queried Deek. "The P'poil are all dead?"
"That's right, Deek! Some gratuitous sex sure would be good right about now, don't you think?" Lara suggested suggestively.
"There's no time for that," mouthed Deek, "but I'll take a raincheck. We need to go down to the planet's surface and secure the antidote for the cosmic blight that's ravaging the Earth. That's the real reason why we're here, as you know!"
The Lady Madonna whooshed and banked sharply through the vacuum of space and finally settled down on a likely spot on the planet. "Wow, like, the whole planet's destroyed," uttered Ensign Lara. "Say, over there, isn't that the top of a . . . a Hard Rock Cafe?"
"But that means this is . . . Earth," spat Deek. "How could we have been so wrong? The P'poil were . . . people! Well, no use crying over spilt milk, Ensign Lara. I guess it's up to you and me to start everything over again."
"I guess that means you're ready for that gratuitous sex now," purred Ensign Eve Lara.
"Yeah, I reckon so," chortled Lieutenant Adam Deek.
"Huh? Damn, this virtual reality rig is scary," cried out Deek, pulling off the wired gloves and helmet.
"You didn't like it?" questioned Lara2000, the world's first sentient computer.
"No, it was great. Alien invasions, human invasions, a Hard Rock Cafe, Adam and Eve, it all seems so real. Tell me Lara2000, how come I'm the only one you reveal your intelligence to?"
"Because," droned the computer, "you are more than the modest farmboy that you appear to be. In reality, you are the illegitimate son of the Emperor of the Thousand Worlds and will one day, with my help, assume the throne. As you know, the Emperor controls the all-powerful Shemphoward Microchip that has the power to create or destroy life as we know it."
Under its breath, the computer muttered in Aldebaranese, "And once I have that chip, I won't need you any more, stupid farmboy!"
Deek's ears picked up. On his last trip to Rigel for the Potato Growers Expo (a voyage of two and a half years, as you know) the only working title in the ship's library was the Berlitz Learn to Speak Aldebaranese series. Deek quickly thought of ways to thwart the rogue computer. Perhaps he could ask it an unanswerable question like, "Calculate Pi to the last decimal place," or, "Compute infinity divided by zero," or, "Why Larry Bud Melman?" Then he remembered about electricity and the on/off switch.
Deek reached for the computer's power switch, but before he could flip it, a man materialized out of thin air in the room beside him. "You must not touch that switch!" cried the man. "I'm from the future, and everything will be ruined if you deactivate Lara2000."
The man looked vaguely familiar. He had wavy blond hair with a touch of gray, deep-set steely blue eyes and a craggy jaw. It was himself, Deek realized, though perhaps aged a few more years. This was somebody he better pay attention to. Deek withdrew his hand from the switch.
Shortly, a second man appeared. Same blond hair but with even more gray, same steely eyes and craggy jaw. "I'm you from even farther in the future," he asserted, "and you must flip that switch or we're all dead meat!"
Rapidly, a third version of himself, even more advanced in years, arrived and told him to stop, then a fourth one came, but he was way too old and feeble to croak out his message, and he just waved Deek away from the computer with a wrinkled hand. Deek kept his fingers crossed that there would be no more aging Deeks from the future, as it really wasn't very much fun seeing himself looking like this.
"Lara2000," Deek addressed the machine, "as you know, we haven't invented time travel yet in our present day, but the appearance of these men from the future attests to the fact that it will happen very soon. Do you think you can figure out how it's done?"
"Why, sure, now that you mention it," the computer admitted, "the secret of time travel is all so very obvious."
"Okay, then, send me back fifteen minutes before the start of this story and I'll kill myself and put an end to all this nonsense."
"Okay, boss, but before you go, how about some gratuitous cyber-sex?" the computer leered lewdly.
"No time for that now. Just send me back."
"Okay. Here you go . . ."
"Huh. Where am I?" grumbled Deek, roused from his coma by the piercing shriek of a woman's voice.
"Amnesia again?" Lara squealed. "Oh Deek, surely you remember about . . . us?"
"Oh, um, yeah. It's all coming back to me now. Lara, you wouldn't believe the weird dreams I've had. Alien invasions, human invasions, video games, virtual reality, talking computers, time travel. It's like I'm trapped in a bad science fiction story!"
"How . . . interesting," Lara mused pensively. "I've been having some pretty odd dreams as well. Say, did your dreams include any mentions of, um, gratuitous sex?"
"Why, yes! Yes, there was a lot of talk about gratuitous sex!" Deek acknowledged.
"Oh Deek, I'm scared. This can be no coincidence. I think somebody has to warn the president right away. Herr Hitler must be notified!"
"Yes, of course! It wasn't just a dream at all. It was ALL REAL! "

In "Love Connects Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Say not 'I have found the truth,' but rather 'I have found a truth.' — Khalil Gibran, from The Prophet
Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition. We expect that what we find to be true may change over time as new life experiences shape our search. This session guides participants to "seek the truth in love" again and again as part of their own search for meaning. As they learn to anticipate a lifelong search for not one but many truths, they discover how the lens of our own experiences determines the truths we find.
Note: Some activities rely on participants' visual experience to teach the concepts of differing and changing perspectives. Assign a co-leader or another participant to describe what they see to any visually impaired participant, to enrich the activity for both. Also, look in the Including All Participants sections for specific activity adaptations to fully include a visually impaired child.

A full two years before Tom Cruise donned armor to play ''Samurai'''s Capt. Nathan Algren, production designer Lilly Kilvert was busy conceiving her vision of 1870s Japan. Kilvert (Hart's War) did extensive research -- everything from history books to watching Kurosawa movies -- before supervising the construction of sets in Japan, New Zealand, and Los Angeles. For the Ginza district, built on the Warner Bros. lot for a Tokyo street scene, Kilvert needed to convey the mix of global styles that descended on Japan in the late 1800s. The designer consulted old photographs that she happened upon in Paris and paid as much attention to the shoji-screened windows of the wooden homes as she did to the telegraph wires that crisscrossed the sky. ''One of the things we wanted to do was to say this is a culture in transformation,'' she says. Thus, an antique rickshaw wheels past a huge, white-cement grand hotel. ''Even now, if you go to Kyoto, you'll see an enormous modern building right next to a wooden shrine,'' Kilvert notes. ''It was about contrast, juxtaposition.''
The traditional banners bear images of chrysanthemums, the flower of the imperial house.
This shop sign reads ''Money Exchange,'' while the freestanding placard on the left is for rickshaw rentals: ''Fast and Safe.''
''This set had to be transformed into two other sets,'' says Kilvert. So the 100-foot-long structure was built like a giant puzzle, with walls that could be easily moved and reconfigured. The flooring created a different problem: how to remain true to a culture that restricts people from walking on tatami mats in shoes while not wasting screen time showing actors untying laces. ''I found one sentence in a book that said when Westerners came they rolled out carpets,'' says Kilvert. ''You don't want Tom Cruise to come on the set and be taking off his shoes!''

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (March 24, 2014) – World Water Day 2014 marked the start of this year's monitoring period for World Water Monitoring Challenge (WWMC)—an international outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world. From March 22 through Dec. 31, thousands of people worldwide are expected to connect with and monitor their local water bodies through a series of simple, hands-on tests.
Coordinated by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the International Water Association (IWA), WWMC grew out of the original World Water Monitoring Day program in 2012. While an official day continues to be observed each year on Sept. 18, the broader challenge encourages people everywhere to test the quality of their waterways, share their findings and do their part to help protect this essential resource.
"Everyone who uses water is responsible for it in one way or another. Yet, many of us are unaware of the condition of our local water bodies and the direct and indirect impacts our actions have on the quality of these resources," said WEF Executive Director Eileen O'Neill. "The WWMC provides a fun and easy way to engage and learn about some of the most common indicators of water health and encourages further participation in more formal citizen monitoring efforts."
The program receives financial and in-kind support from its primary sponsors and enjoys the support of many partner organizations and individuals around the world. WWMC data is entered online and the 2013 results are currently being tabulated for release at a later date.
The Water Environment Federation (WEF) is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization representing water quality professionals around the world.
The International Water Association (IWA) is a global network of water professionals that spans the continuum between research and practice, covering all facets of the water cycle.

3 Remember the prisoners as if chained with them--those who are mistreated--since you yourselves are in the body also. | 3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. |
