I recently joined a club that I hadn't realized existed. I got a cane.
Don't cry for me: it's for an injury that I got hiking in New Zealand.
Throughout our long life together, Paul has tended to put my carefully-selected birthday, Christmas and anniversary gifts into a drawer and forget about them. This used to make me crazy. Then, about fifteen years ago, I discovered that he couldn't stick a trip in the dresser, and I decided to send him off to exotic places in lieu of sweaters and briefcases. As a special bonus for my wisdom, I send myself off with him.
And so, last year, I began arranging a special gift for Paul's 65th birthday: a trip to Melbourne to see the Australian Open tennis matches. Paul's a mad tennis player, and we're both avid fans; it would be the perfect celebration.
I'd bought grounds passes on-line and was looking into airfare when Paul found an ad from Backroads adventure travel in his email inbox. It seemed they offered a hiking trip on New Zealand's South Island that timed nicely with the Melbourne tournament, and he suggested we add it to our itinerary.
We'd biked with Backroads before, several years ago, when we were younger and fitter. The biking was great, but not easy; I don't know if I could do that sort of thing now–the distance, the intensity. But hiking… How hard could that be? We'd never been to New Zealand, and it was near Australia. Hiking would be a great way to see the countryside.
I signed us up.
We met up with our excursion in Christchurch in early January. There were four of us hikers–a somewhat younger couple and us–led by two astute and amiable guides whose ages, combined, fell more than ten years short of mine.
The first day was fun and easy, a leisurely hike on a dirt trail up, around and down a smallish hill.
The second day featured a trek of roughly ten miles, up a mountain and back.
I straggled up, up, up, behind Paul and our fellow hikers, over narrow, rocky paths through jaw-dropping vistas: piney hills backed by the snow-capped Southern Alps, sheer drops to rivers tangled in broad, stony beds. The exercise was exhilarating–especially since the highest mountain I'd scaled in the past four years was the staircase up from the Atlantic Avenue subway.
We stopped for a picnic lunch about two-thirds of the way up. Our guides advised us to hike at our own pace. Don't kill ourselves. The rest of the way was tough. We could certainly stop here and enjoy the scenery if we wished, rather than dragging ourselves to the top. "It's all good," said Erica, one of the guides.
I didn't stop there.
I should've.
By the time I flopped onto the summit, my knees were crying for mercy. Erica dispensed it in the form of a pair of hiking poles that she'd been carrying on her backpack.
Those poles became my new best friends—as did Advil, the consumption of fine New Zealand wine, and applications of an ointment Erica had bought on a trek in Peru (the Spanish instructions translated: "For cows, horses…").
Even so, my knees let me know I had seriously insulted them. It took a lot of elevation, rest and yoga exercises (and yes, the poles, wine therapy and Peruvian horse liniment) to urge them through the rest of the trip, and on to the second phase of our South Island adventure: a four-day bike tour of the Otago Railway trail that I'd arranged with a different, local company.
Yes, after we hiked, we biked. To my joy and relief, the trail was flat, as old railroad beds tend to be, and the scenery was well worth the peddling. My knees seemed to tolerate it very well.
We left New Zealand after the bike trip and flew to Melbourne, Sydney and Port Nelson. We walked quite a bit, but it was all on city streets and beach sand–nothing as strenuous as that second Backroads hike had been.
We returned to New York City in February, after five weeks on the road. My knees felt almost normal, and I resumed my standard home exercise routine: Yoga, a lot of brisk walking on hard pavement, and climbing stairs instead of taking escalators and elevators.
Then, two weeks ago, Paul and I were rushing to make a movie in Manhattan. I poured on the speed, power-walked through Times Square. I stepped off a curb–and my left knee simply gave up.
I limped into a nearby Walgreens and bought an over-the-counter top-of-the-line Velcro and aluminum knee-stabilizing brace. Which I wore the next morning to the VA emergency room.
The doctor, a lovely young woman from Africa, asked what had happened to me. I told her about my hike in New Zealand, and how, after a month and a half, my body had taken its revenge. She examined my knee.
She moved it to the right. No problem.
To the left. No problem.
She bent the knee.
When I climbed back down from the ceiling, the doctor shook her head. "You should stop trying to act as if you're 19," she suggested.
The x-rays were painful but negative. "Now you must make an appointment for an MRI as soon as possible," the doctor said.
"I'm going to California tomorrow for a week, but right after that, I most certainly will."
She frowned. "What are you doing in California? You need to rest this. You should not go."
I explained that we went to California, to the BNP Paribas tennis tournament in Indian Wells, every year. We had already paid our part of a house rental with three other couples. We had our grounds passes and our plane tickets. "I can't afford not to go," I said.
"Then you must put your knee up and rest it when you are there."
"I'll be sitting a lot," I assured her. "But I have to walk to get to the seats, so maybe I should get crutches or something."
She sighed and ordered me a cane. "But you must stay off the knee. Rest it. Let the others go to the tournament."
I made noncommittal noises and promised I'd use the cane. Then I went to the fifth floor to pick up it up.
And so I became a member of the Cane Club.
Its membership is large and varied: old people, young people, men, women, veterans and non-veterans. People with obvious disabilities; people with braces; people who look like they could use their canes in tap-dance routines. I even saw some other people using them on the grounds of the tennis tournament, while I stumped from stadium to stadium to watch a variety of excellent matches last week.
I'd never really seen canes before. It's kind of like when you go shopping for cars: you suddenly start to notice everybody else's.
I suppose I should feel like a little old lady. A crone.
But… Seriously, life is short. New Zealand is gorgeous. Tennis is a fine sport. I am not a great athlete, nor am I beautiful, nor am I rich–but I am an incredibly fortunate person to witness all this.
Tomorrow, when I go to my MRI, I will stand tall even as I lean on my cane.
I have no regrets.

A month before the UFC's return to Houston, there has been a change in a key middleweight bout on the card.
A knee injury has forced Luke Rockhold (10-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) out of his fight against Tim Boetsch (16-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC). Rockhold will be replaced in the bout by C.B. Dollaway (13-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC). UFC officials announced the change on Wednesday's edition of "UFC Tonight" on FOX Sports 1.
UFC 166 takes place Oct. 19 at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card, which features a heavyweight title fight and rubber match between champ Cain Velasquez and former titleholder Junior dos Santos, airs on pay-per-view following preliminary-card bouts on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

AIIM Seminar: Information Governance
Allstream Centre
105 Princes' Blvd, Toronto, ON M6K 3C3
How do you safely and effectively manage your information assets when they are growing faster than you can digest them?
The volume, variety, and velocity of organizational information is changing the game for governance and compliance. Applying a paper paradigm of policies and processes no longer works -- and it certainly doesn't scale. Instead, compliance functions must be automated, and focus as much on defensible disposition as on retention; as much on data extraction as data archiving. The AIIM Seminar Information Governance in a Social; Mobile World brings together AIIM President, John Mancini, subject-matter-experts, and your peers for fun and informative discussion. Give us a few hours and we'll show you how to:
- Automate core records management processes; with content in all forms and from all sources
- Reduce litigation risk and storage cost by responsibly ridding your organization of information sludge
- Tap into the benefits of social; mobile systems without legal or regulatory exposure
- Set and manage information management policies around extraction for business value and decision making

Leo Sun; Full Moon, Venus Retro in Leo; Saturn Direct
It's a complex week of planetary movements, challenges, demands and callings. We're in the time of the Leo Sun. Leo—fixed fire, gold, the heart, generous, strong, noble, the king/queen—needs appreciation and praise from everyone in order to move forward. During Leo we gain a greater sense of self-identification by recognizing our creativity. It's therefore a perfect time for Venus retrograding in Leo. In Venus retrograde we review and re-assess values. Venus retro in Leo concerns our self as valuable, acknowledging talents, gifts, abilities and offerings. Friday, Venus re-enters Leo (29 degrees, a critical degree) continuing the retrograde to 14 degrees Leo on Sept. 6. Friday (Full Moon) is also the (8 degrees) Leo solar festival, Festival of the Future. Leo is the heart of the sun, the heart of all that matters. When attuned to this heart, we have understanding and inclusivity. The heart of the Lion is Mitra (think "Maitreya," the coming World Teacher). Leo prepares humanity to receive divine love from subtle sources and later to radiate that love to the kingdoms. Sirius, Ray 2, where love originates, streams through Regulus (heart of Leo), into the heart of the sun (Ray 2) and into all hearts. The heart of Leo is Regulus. Joining Venus, the love underlying all of creation appears. Saturday is Sun/Neptune (confusion or devotion) with late night Saturn turning stationary direct. Ideas, plans and structures held long in abeyance (since March 14) slowly move forward. (Read more on Leo and the week at nightlightnews.org and Risa D'Angeles' Facebook page, accessed through my website.)

The Talisman ~ second time
Under the Dome - first time, seems to be taking forever, though it's very good.
And listening to IT on audiobook - second time.
The Regulators. It's my first time and I'm enjoying it like Calgon ("Take me away"). I read Desperation a long time ago, and I like the way The Regulators is another version of it.
Reading Eyes of the Dragon for the second time. Just finished a third/fourth re-read of the DT series. I hooked my best friends husband on the series and thought it would be nice if as he went through, I was current so I could chat about it with him. (He loves it, not surprisingly.)
Love The Talisman. Wolf is one of my very favorite characters <3
~say thankya
I'm reading IT for the first time, very good.
I am on read 1 of 11/22/63. I don't read every day though, and despite getting through a few hundred pages within a week or so, the middle part (When he left Derry) slowed down a bit and I started doing other things when I would normaly read. In the last few days though, I have got right back into it, reading at a simillar rate to the 2011/Derry section. I should be done in a few days.
Wizard and Glass, and this is my second time. It's taking forever, since I'm busy with other things and I've read other books while trying to finish it.
Just finished Firestarter which I haven't read since it came out 30 years ago. Not one of his best - particularly following the likes of the The Shining and Salem's Lot - but an entertaining read as always. Now reading From a Buick 8 which I also read when it first came out but couldn't remember a single thing about except it involved a car.

ClearCorrect clear aligners straighten teeth invisibly, without metal braces.
Clear aligners show off your smile, so most people won't even notice you're wearing them.
It's easy to remove aligners and eat whatever you like. There are no wires to trap food or get in the way when you floss.
We've made our aligners here in the heart of Texas since 2006.
As a dental lab, ClearCorrect makes aligners based on a doctor's prescription. You'll need an orthodontist or dentist to manage your treatment.
If your primary dentist doesn't offer ClearCorrect, another doctor near you probably does.
If you're a good candidate for clear aligners, your doctor will take photos and x-rays, use a scanner or impressions to capture the shape of your teeth, and submit your prescription to ClearCorrect.
We'll make a series of aligners customized to apply pressure to the teeth that you want to move.
Your doctor will check your progress and give you new sets of aligners every 4–6 weeks. You'll wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day, progressing through each step until your treatment is done.
Since 2006, thousands of people have successfully straightened their teeth with ClearCorrect. Here are a few of them.

Brandon Lord won the 2012 Georgia Cross Country Invitational and will be aiming to repeat on Saturday.
Aug 30, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- Twelve hours before the Bulldogs kick off at Clemson on Saturday night, Georgia's cross country teams open their season with their only home meet of the year during the Georgia Cross Country Invitational in Bishop.
The men start their 8000-meter (8k) course that winds around the UGA Equestrian Complex at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. The women will then run a 5000-meter (5k) course at 8:45. Georgia Tech, Mercer and Emmanuel College are expected to race versus the Bulldogs in their season opener.
Following the collegiate races, the high school varsity boys 5000 will be at 9:15, the varsity girls 5000 will be at 9:45, the junior varsity boys 5000 is scheduled for 10:15 and the junior varsity girls 5000 will be at 10:45.
Additional meet details can be found at: http://gado.gs/1yr .
"This is always a great start to our season," said Bulldog distance coach Patrick Cunniff. "We have the opportunity to avoid travel and have the performances we need to see where the team is. Since most of the team gets the chance to run at this one, this meet also gives everyone a chance to perform and possibly travel later in the year."
Three regular season meet weekends will remain after the Georgia Cross Country Invitational before the Southeastern Conference Championships arrive on Nov. 1. Cunniff is curious to see what kind of shape his teams are in as their 2013 campaign begins.
"We get to see who is fit, who has been putting in the miles during the offseason," Cunniff said. "Our goal for Saturday will be to finish strong. After a conservative pace to start, I am hoping our women finish their last mile strong and our men finish their last two miles strong. I hope we see a lot of red and black together at the end.
"We have three seniors for the men who are returners from last year's team that qualified for NCAAs and about that many for the women, along with Carly Hamilton. We should see them all near the front of the pack."
The Bulldogs swept the 2012 meet in nearly perfect fashion. In fact, the UGA men scored a perfect mark of 15 after having the first through fifth-place finishers. Last year's individual winner, senior Brandon Lord (26:16.49), along senior Luke Baker (3rd – 26:29.88) and senior Charlie Sparks (5th – 26:37.50), are all returning for Georgia.
Georgia has welcomed five new members to the men's team in 2013.
On the women's half, the Lady Bulldogs scored 20 points to win convincingly. Georgia went 1-2-3-5-9 in 2012 and both senior Stella Christoforou (3rd – 17:18.68) and senior Nicole DiMercurio (5th – 17:29.13) are back on this year's roster. Also of note, Hamilton, who led Georgia in its final six races in 2012, and senior Brett McDaniel, who scored in those final six competitions, did not run for the Bulldogs at last year's home meet.
Fifteen additional runners were added to the Lady Bulldog roster between the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
Five of the seven Lady Bulldog competitors from the 2012 NCAA Championships return in 2013 with four of seven returning for the Georgia men. Cunniff, who joined UGA's staff in August 2012 after running for the Bulldogs in 1988-91, returns to the cross country trails after having additional success on the track this past spring.
Cunniff saw Hamilton win the SEC 1500 title outdoors and earn First Team All-American honors indoors in the mile. He also guided Leslie Boozer in the steeplechase, Megan Malasarte in the 800 and his distance medley relay team to Second Team All-American honors in 2013.
The 2012 cross country season saw both Bulldog teams advance to the NCAA Championships, a feat Georgia had only accomplished one time before (2004) in program history. The UGA men took 19th at nationals, wrapping up the season with their top finish in school history, while the Lady Bulldogs were 30th. Last year marked the first time since 2007 that the Georgia women competed at NCAAs.
Georgia's 2013 campaign has regular season highlights of a trip to Minnesota for the Roy Griak Invitational and to Wisconsin for the Wisconsin adidas Invitational. Both of these destinations are considered annual premier regular season showdowns for the nation's talent.
The Bulldog cross country teams will battle at SECs in Gainesville, Fla., on Nov. 1. The Bulldog men will be working to improve on their second-place showing last season.
Georgia then has the NCAA South Regionals in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on November 15, a meet where UGA went second (men) and third (women) in 2012. As usual, the Bulldogs will aim to conclude their season at the NCAA Championships on November 23 as the meet returns to Terre Haute, Ind.
All-Region/SEC Returning: Hamilton, Lord, Baker and Sparks were all All-Region performers last season after finishing in the top 25 and are returning this year. Lord was also a Second Team All-SEC selection while Sid Vaughn and Steven Spevacek were on the All-SEC Freshmen team and are returning. In addition, Hamilton earned a spot on the All-SEC First Team.
Full results and a recap from the Georgia Cross Country Invitational will be found at georgiadogs.com.

Daily Tip: How to automatically send your music, book, and app purchases to your iPhone, iPad, and computers
Curious how to use the new iCloud feature that enables Automatic Downloads? Luckily for us, this feature has rolled out before iOS 5, and anyone using iOS 4.3.3 or later has the ability to use it. But what exactly is Automatic Downloads? To find out, follow along after the break!
Say, for example, you purchase 1password on your iPad. This is a universal app, so you probably want it on your iPhone as well. To do this before, you would have to either sync your iPad, then iPhone with iTunes, or manually install 1password from the App Store on your iPhone. Not any more! Now you can enable automatic downloads on your iPhone, iPad, and computers so that any music, iBook, or app purchase you make will automatically download to all your devices - and here's how!
Enabling Automatic Downloads on iPhone and iPad
- Open Settings
- Tap Store (it's located at the very bottom of the 3rd group of options)
- You will see four ON/OFF toggles. The first three are to enable Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and Books. Select which ones you want ON.
- The last toggle is to "Use Cellular". If you don't want to download apps over 3G (perhaps to lessen data usage) make sure this is OFF. Otherwise, turn it ON.
Enabling Automatic Downloads on iTunes
- Open iTunes
- Open Preferences
- Click the Store tab
- You will see boxes for Music, Apps, and Books. Check the ones you wish to be automatically download.
There you have it! Now your devices are ready to automatically download your purchases through the cloud. Let us know how this worked out for you and if you have any questions!
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)

Daily Tip: How to automatically send your music, book, and app purchases to your iPhone, iPad, and computers
Is the Verizon iPhone not capable of this yet?
I also tried this on my iPhone 4 and only apps and books appear as options. No music. Australian iTunes store. iOS 4.3.3. I bought a Gotye song twice. Worth it for the Gotye, disappointing in terms of Apple.
Only in USA? This is not on my iPhone in UK.
Fantastic tip! This worked for me on both my iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2. Now can you bring us the Notifications feature of iOS 5?
Well done, Leanna.
When this first came out any apps over 20 Mb that I downloaded in iTunes would start to download on my 3GS and get stuck. Any app over 20 gets stuck over network. I turned it off.
I already set it up on my iPhone and iPad. I can't wait to get home to set it up on my PC. I really am looking forward to iCloud.

WEST MADISON — Scott showed balance and diversity on its way to a first round playoff win over Wyoming East.
The No. 7 Skyhawks scored on the ground and through the air and spread the wealth among several players on its way to a 46-16 win over No. 10 Wyoming East last Friday night in Madison.
East scored on its first possession but couldn't overcome five turnovers or Scott's dominance along the line of scrimmage for the rest of the night.
The Warriors finished the season at 7-4 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
WEHS forced a three-and-out to open the game, then went to work on offense.
Jacob Dulcie's 41-yard run to the Skyhawk 23 highlighted a nine-play, 71-yard drive.
Chris Cecil picked up a key first down on fourth and inches at the Scott 13, and Jacob Summe later scored from two yards out.
Cecil's PAT kick made it 7-0.
The small but speedy Robert Bias zigged and zagged around defenders on his way to a 69-yard TD run for Scott. The kick failed, and East still had the edge.
East got the ball near midfield, but could not move it. Quarterback Aaron Griffith was sacked and lost a fumble/
Skyhawks signal caller Cody Brown put the home team in front to stay with a two-yard toucdown carry.
Dulcie had a pick to stop the next Scott drive.
The Skyhaws got the ball back at the East 29 and scored on one play, a 29-yard toss from Brown to Michael Belcher. It was 18-7 with 8:20 left in the half.
East couldn't come up with the squib kick on the kickoff, and the Skyhawks again had good field position at the Warriors 35.
Ty Treadway intercepted a Brown pass to stall the threat.
Brown's 37-yard TD throw to James Dehart with 3:32 to go in the half pushed the lead to 25-7.
East moved the ball to midfield on its ensuing possession, but another fumble ended the drive.
Cameron Loftus ran 23 yards for a TD in the third period to push the margin to 32-7.
A good run back from Summe and a personal foul penalty on Scott gave East the ball at the Scott 34 late in the third.
Griffith ran it to the 26 and later gained a first down at the 20.
WEHS had a first and goal at the eight but could go no further. Cecil kicked a 31 yard field goal with :28.1 on the clock.
Just seconds later, Scott answered with Triston Crone's 12-yard scoring gallop.
Treadway caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Griffith in the fourth quarter to make it 39-16.
Lofus had a 38-yard run to pay dirt to end the Skyhawks scoring.
Duclie had 68 yards rushing on six attempts, and Summe ran for 42 yard on 13 carries.
Bias ran for 129 yards and a TD for Scott. Loftus added 57 yards on six attempts.
Dulcie and Treadway had interceptions for East.
Scott moves on to play at No. 2 Keyser in the quarterfinals.

Fear compels parents to marry off their daughters in areas of conflict or disaster, says a new World Vision report.
Girls who live in countries facing humanitarian crises face the greatest risk of forced marriage, says a new report released by World Vision.
The report, "Untying the Knot: Exploring Early Marriage in Fragile States (pdf)," studied the situation in Somaliland, Bangladesh, and Niger, and found that fear of rape, premarital pregnancy, hunger, and homelessness were all drivers of early marriage.
Of the 25 countries with the highest rates of early marriage, the majority are affected by conflict, fragility, or natural disasters, the report finds.
And girls trapped in early marriage tend to be poor, under-educated, and living in rural areas where birth and death rates are high and where conflict is common.
Other drivers included harmful traditional practices and the lack of alternative opportunities for girls — in particular, the lack of opportunity to go to school. Girls will also marry because of threats and coercion.
The report identified the top 10 countries with the highest child marriage rates:
|Percent married before 15
|Percent married before 18
|1. Niger*
|36 percent
|75 percent
|2. Chad*
|35 percent
|72 percent
|3. Bangladesh*
|32 percent
|66 percent
|4. Guinea
|20 percent
|66 percent
|5. Central African Republic
|21 percent
|61 percent
|6. Mali*
|15 percent
|55 percent
|7. Mozambique*
|17 percent
|52 percent
|8. Nepal*
|10 percent
|51 percent
|9. Malawi*
|9 percent
|50 percent
|10. Ethiopia*
|24 percent
|49 percent
* Countries where World Vision works to help build communities that promote and provide for women and girls' development along with men and boys.
"The fun of planning a wedding and the heady excitement of the first weeks of marriage will not be the experience of 13.5 million girls this year," the report says. One in nine girls around the world is forced to marry before her 15th birthday.
Those who are subjected to early marriage are more likely to experience domestic violence, forced sexual relations, poor reproductive health, and lower levels of education, according to the report.
"Early marriage poses a serious challenge to extremely hard-won development gains in least developed countries," the report says. "And yet, in the face of these facts and the widespread condemnation of the practice, early marriage continues to flourish."
The report makes several recommendations to reduce early marriage:
Pray for girls in cultures where early marriage is accepted and encouraged. Pray that girls vulnerable to early marriage would gain access to education and be protected from this unhealthy practice.
Make a one-time donation to our Girls and Women Education Fund. You can help provide resources such as school scholarships, art and music instruction, vocational training, and gender equality training. These resources help girls to stay in school, stay unmarried through their teens, and develop their innate leadership abilities — ultimately building a stronger, healthier society.
Sponsor a girl today. By investing in the life of a girl in need, you'll help her to stay in school and avoid early marriage, while providing access to the resources she needs to become a healthy, productive adult.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Chattanooga Mocs softball team suffered back-to-back losses Friday evening in Orlando, Fla., at the UCF Knights Invitational. Fordham topped UTC 12-3 in an error-riddled performance, and South Dakota proved to be one run better than the Mocs, 5-4, in extra innings.
Coming off a 5-0 win over LIU Brooklyn, momentum helped carry Fordham over Chattanooga in the Mocs season-opener. A team Chattanooga fell to three times in 2013, the Rams triumphed again through a quick start and a handful of UTC miscues. The Mocs committed five errors over the five-inning game.
The Rams jumped out to a hot start with a four-run inning over starting pitcher Katie Henderson (Chattanooga, Tenn.). The sophomore only tossed 0.1 innings before Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) was called on in relief. The junior was able to pitch the Mocs out of an early jam but not before Fordham pushed four runs across the plate on one hit, one error and four walks.
The Chattanooga offense answered back in the second inning with two runs, cutting the lead in half. Walks issued to Criket Blanco (Maryville, Tenn.) and Shelby Carter (Maple Valley, Wash.) got the ball rolling and a bunt-single from Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) loaded the bases. Anyssa Robles (Lawrenceville, Ga.) punched her ticket with an RBI-single to right field and a bases-loaded walk to senior Kaiti Dutton (Tulsa, Okla.) gave UTC its second run.
Deason kept the Rams off in the bottom of the second, and Chattanooga tacked on a third run in the top of the third to cut the lead to one run. Blanco tripled down the right-field line on one out and a sacrifice bunt from Roberts scored the sophomore, but the third inning would be the deciding factor in the game.
With two outs on the board, back-to-back errors allowed two Fordham batters to reach base safely. Two more errors and four hits would ensue to drive in eight runs for the Rams, putting Chattanooga down 12-3. Centerfielder Sydney Canessa, who was 2-for-4 on the night with an RBI and run scored, was one of four Fordham batters to single and drive in a run during the inning.
The next two innings saw both teams go scoreless, leading to a 12-3, run-ruled game in just five innings.
"It's disappointing," Head Coach Frank Reed said. "Despite walking four batters and allowing four runs, our offense battled back and made it a close game. You can blame it on being our first game, but you can't begin a game like that and put that pressure on the offense."
Looking to bounce back in the second game against South Dakota, Chattanooga was disappointed again with an eight-inning loss after on two occasions.
The bats came out swinging in the first inning for Chattanooga as the Mocs put three quick runs in the book. With the bases loaded, Blanco delivered with a bases-clearing triple to score Sam Taylor (Chickamauga, Ga.), Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.) and Marina Wilkerson (Hogansville, Ga.).
Freshman Liana Rodrigues (Chattanooga, Tenn.) was handed her first collegiate start against the Coyotes and did not disappoint. While only tossing 3.1 innings, the right-hander was very effective with five strikeouts, just two walks and three earned runs.
Trouble in the fourth caused the Mocs to go to Deason in relief. South Dakota added two runs in the top of the fourth to tie the game 3-3, taking Rodrigues out of the decision and making Deason the pitcher on record. The Mocs reclaimed the lead on an RBI-single from Blanco to score Sam Taylor who led the inning off with a double down the left-field line.
The Coyotes tied the game 4-4 in the top of the fifth when pinch runner Katelyn Wudel moved up two bases on a passed ball and throwing error, putting her in position to score on a wild pitch.
Going into extras, South Dakota took advantage of its tie-breaking-runner, Sydney Hancock, when Chattanooga committed its fourth run of the game, a throwing error, to move the runner to third. That set up the game-winning RBI-single for Christine Broders. Chattanooga was held hitless and scoreless in the bottom of the eighth.
"We can't commit that many errors and expect to win a ball game," Reed said. "We have to make the routine plays, and errors happen, but you can't let them happen in those numbers."
Chattanooga continues the UCF Knights Invitational Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. against LIU Brooklyn. The Mocs get a one-game break before taking on the hosting Knights at 1:30 p.m.

How do you argue with someone who's bought into Pascal's Wager? (i.e. that their reason tells them god probably does not exist, but they choose to believe anyway, overriding their rationality, because, on the off-chance god does exist, fooling themselves will reap cosmic reward as as opposed to cosmic punishment for their earthly doubt.) How can you argue with someone who purposefully divorces themselves from their own common sense?
Views: 322
It would be a waste of time on your part to try to reason with a person who has suspended reason. That is the time you say adios!
Pascal's Wager is a red herring. It depends on the built-in assumptions that a sincere belief is a matter of choice, or that an insincere belief would fool an omniscient God.
For example, could you choose to believe sincerely that leprechauns actually exist? No matter how hard you try, could you ever muster a genuine belief that the Gnome Queen of the Potato People has taken up residence in the haystack behind your neighbor's barn?
If hard-pressed, you might be able to fake it, but will your cynical faith ever fool or be acceptable to the omniscient Yaweh, who can read your mind and heart, and wants (above all else) to be believed in with your entire being?
It's also worth pointing out that living a religious life for a promise of reward is far more empty and cynical than living a sincere and ethical life for its own sake, without religion or theism.
Pascal's Wager doesn't work for nontheists because there is no way to win it.
Assuming you are talking to a Christian: What about Islam? What about the thousands of other religions which your brain tells you is not real. Some of them also commit non-believers to a fate worse than death. Some of them also commit believers in the wrong god to that same fate.
Bottom line is this: it doesn't matter which religion you choose, there will always be another religion condemning you because of it... may as well pick the one that makes the most sense.
Smith's wager works for me.....
we can call that the atheist's wager .
What a load of Cognitive dissonance!
Pascal's Wager- A favorite amongst Christian apologist. The question still remains – Which God? The Christian God? Is that what Pascal is alluding to? And if it is Christian – which denomination? Mormon? Southern Baptist? Westboro?
Even if God does not exist, we lose nothing? Really? How much money in your lifetime have you contributed to religion? You have not lost time? Time spent praying and attending services and weekly meetings?
I would argue that Pascal wager is not just a 50/50 split on the odds. The odds of (let say) the Catholic God being the right choice carries way less statistical weight then atheism. What are the odds that Scientology is the correct religion? 50/50?
Is Pascal wager any reason to believe? There is something insincere to believe in a god over this wager. Would not an all powerful god see this mortal making this wager (even though the wager is foolish as explained above). To choose to believe over the statistical odds of being wrong. Seems insincere.
Oh .. they have a name to that argument .. i didn't know that :))
Just wondering: does Pascal's Wager apply to Santa Claus? Is there any danger at all that, if I stop believing in Santa, those presents will stop showing up under the tree every December 25? Perhaps I should play it safe and believe.
And what about Thor? Might he zap me with a lightning bolt if I don't believe in him?
It's pretty clear that the most expedient thing for me to do would be to believe in every deity that might possess the power to affect my life. After all, if they don't exist, what harm is done, other than the loss of a little self-respect at believing something manifestly preposterous? Better that than risk losing those presents.

Posted below is a somewhat chronological list of videos highlighting just a small fraction of the events of the last three and a half years in Darkfall Online, and how the game world has changed over time.
Darkfall Online: 5 months of Darkfall Online HD 720p - July 13th, 2009
This video recaps a lot of the large sieges that happened between the massive alliances that arose at the dawn of the game. It also shows off some of the early solo players that made a name for themselves within the first months of the game. These were the days of low-quality armor, single stacks of regs, and massive mana missile battles.
Darkfall - [Superfriends VS Vamesis] - Aradoth Siege - January 24th, 2010
This video shows a massive siege that occured shortly after the NA server opened for character transfers from EU. A year into the game, many players were using high-end gear to give them an edge, magic had become a much more popular choice for playstyle, and clans pulled no punches when it came to defending their territory.
Darkfall - [Zealot VS Thundercats] - Silmiyat AvA Siege - June 1st, 2010
A year and a half into the game, the population had shrunk from the massive numbers that it had reached at launch. The political game became more treacherous than ever, as numbers became a larger and larger factor in fights. Alliance vs Alliance fights were a way for one alliance to prove their prowess over other alliances, without outside interference. Magic had become commonplace and tactics such as "nuke syncing" had become meta.
Darkfall - Mar Shral Siege 18/12/2010 - December 20th, 2010
After two years of Darkfall, the factors that set clans and players apart were becoming more and more apparent. The players at the top were using high-quality gear, select spells, and were being led by talented shot callers who could lead a group through the chaos of combat to a definitive outcome. Magic was so integrated into the game at this point that you had to coordinate almost every form of it to keep the battle organized. "WoF Syncs", "Toxic Dumps", and "Chain Knockups" became everyday lingo, for better or for worse.
Darkfall - Manowar Capture - NA1 - February 14th, 2011
While land-based siege combat was a huge part of Darkfall, it by no means was the extent of it. The first Ship Combat took place within weeks of the launch of the game, and sea battles have been commonplace ever since. Perhaps the most notorious of all ship fights was the day TSL's Manowar fell to the TIA zerg.
Tri Sieged (Elish/Bloodscar/Teneland) - February 22nd, 2012
Three years into the game, it was not uncommon for the battle-hardened veterans of the game to be sieged by sometimes overwhelming numbers of enemies. Some of the most remembered fights for these players are the ones where they managed to win against all odds.
Shmee v Shmee - September 20th, 2012
Today, with Unholy Wars looming in the near future, the game is still alive, and just as dangerous as ever. Those who have fought their way to the top and stayed there for years have quite literally mastered their craft. This list would not be complete without the inclusion of a video of perhaps the best player to ever touch the game, Itwas Luck.
Last but not least, before you shoot the messenger, please note that many of these videos are personal favorites, and do not in any way represent the exclusive history of Darkfall, especially politically. The world is so vast that the only way I could hope to approach explaining it is from a perspective familair to myself. I encourage other Darkfall players to share their own videos of the last three years, as I know there are many, many wonderful videos out there that I haven't included here.
As for Unholy Wars, this girl will be seeing you in the field >.<

Sweet memories. Awesome compilation man!
Compilation & tone videos
"Darkfall Memories throughout the Years"
A wonderful collection of memorable moments from EU. Thanks Tupps for bringing this one to our attention!
Pure Comedy gold
I have no idea how WhisperXIII found this, but Rozalla called it right - pure comedy gold. When was the last time you heard someone so invested in whether they lived or died in a battle in an MMORPG?
The Public Service Announcement
Darkfall players also at times have a beautiful sense of irony and class, after all in a game that gives players so much freedom teasing each other into attacking can become an art form.
Darkfall 1.0 PvE videos
Some people ask did Darkfall have pve? The obvious answer is "yes" - indeed it had some of the original big nasty monsters in recent MMOs. Nothing quite compares to the cry of a dragon ... because as Tiggs used to say so long ago, in a game far far away, You should never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with ketchup.
A video showing the Ice Dragon and the Fire Dragon on Darkfall. Ah Fluffy, how I miss you! Even if you never missed.
Also known as "how not to fight a kraken"!
Thanks Tupps for finding these two gems!
Darkfall 1.0 Naval videos
How about this one for a real trip down memory lane ... from when LoD ruled the seas, and used Ship of the Line / Man'o'War to attack things in sieges. If anyone has a link to footage of them using their MoW in the third siege of Serruk, please link that! I remember fightinhg that thing for the better part of an hour, friggin beast of a ship. Fighting out of that cave with a ship of the line firing in was ... challenging, to say the least!
LoD's big ships clip, SotL bombardment in siege
Seriously looking forward to Unholy Wars, and having the player population again to see big ships built and used to create havoc across Agon. Sure more often than not I was the innocent fisherwoman getting sunk by some random warship that spotted me, but hey it was fun!
MEN (Kill Cult & LoD) Frigate vs DHW SotL
Big ships did occasionally clash. It is important to remember these things were worth an absolute fortune - more than player cities, at various points in the game. Sinking or taking one was a huge deal.
Admiral Tweedle & the big boys club didn't always have it their way - in the fullness of time, I was part of a newbie heavy fleet of junks and brigantines that trapped and sank his frigate that you see in the video. Battle Saints, the all-Dwarf clan, were also a pivotal part of that battle - Red Sky took in 2 ships, and with the Saints making a fleet of 3, we shadowed the frigate directly into a fight with a veteran's ship, then blasted her to the bottom while she was already heavily engaged. You can see the two Red Sky brigantines shadowing the frigate to limit her movement in this video from NME (one of the two vets ships engaged).
You can see the other ships fleetingly in the background in the second vid - with new player heavy crews, closing to board would have been suicide, so we used our cannons the way they had been designed - at range :) Very importantly, the vid below was from a player on his first sea trip - engaged in an epic battle.
Oh and just so we're clear, I lost over 50 ships in Darkfall 1.0, including a Barque that lost a 5 vs 1 brawl at one sea tower, although we killed 2 of them to get it down from 7 to 5 first :) If only I had fraps! Naval combat was plagued with some serious issues, which based on changes already confirmed by Aventurine seem very likely to be completely gone from Unholy Wars. YAAARRRRR!
SotL vs SotL off Ruby (from 2:14 onwards).
If you know what you are looking at, both of these huge ships were undercrewed compared to the peak of Darkfall 1.0, however that they came out to fight anyway deserves credit. Too many of the best ships in the game were made, put in banks, and never used again. But when certain clans had them, they used them - win or die, they made history.
Raft & pirate song
One of the first rafts ... mainly here so if Darkfall vets say "we need the pirate song!" you will know which one everyone means. And yes, there were crews who sang the pirate song before engaging enemy ships. Rafts were the vessel of choice for many explorers and pirates, if you could approach a target ship without getting promptly sunk by cannons. YARRRR.
The Erinthel Siege
We were called in to help the defenders in this siege, which was memorable for the use of dragon cannons vs ships. In the end the attackers were horribly outnumbered, but they fought with tenacity and daring, putting up a real fight to try to take one of the toughest nuts to crack in all of Agon.
Solo pvp videos
There are many wonderful solo pvp videos out there, just go google! To all those who think Darkfall forced grouping, you may enjoy watching a famous piece of Darkfall 1.0's history ...
Valroth's epic Sunthrone raid
I was there, reviving and healing most of the players Valroth killed in this lol.So much fun though.
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkChx07eIoY
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb6wc371WRw
Cavalry action
Yes, Cavalry.
This playstyle effectively died when magic became overpowered, and mounts simply melted before riders could close. Combined with mounts being given wieghts (which were too heavy), and mounted damage being nerfed, cavalry vs cavalry was nearly extinct in late Darkfall 1.0. However that does not mean it wasn't a huge amount of fun!
Old School Cavalry vs Cavalry
Battlehorns in siege
Battlehorns were often used to try to force a heavily defended position, such as assulting up a road or breaking into a defensive line. I was at this battle, which was an epic conflict. When the heavy cavalry came in we were on the broken walls sending volley after volley of magic into the mages and archers on the plains below us. As you can see from the graves later on in this video, many of us didn't manage to fall back to the inner wall in time!
Some heavy cavalry charges were superbly organised, others much more chaotic. I recall riding behind William Wallace, Blue Poo, Meg Odin and the rest to flank an LoD mage army - we used bluetails to circle to thier flank, changed to battlehorns, the healers rebuffed the guys who were in full dragon on battlehorns (I was a healer), and the battlehorns were over the crest of the small hill to slam into the side of the LoD mages, creating utter havoc and killing at least a dozen before they withdrew on foot, their mounts all cut from beneath them. Our main battle line on the highground above then charged en masse, the LoD army having lost its cohesion entirely with the slaughter inflicted by the cavalry. Such action was rarely frapsed, but when used well was utterly devastating.
Charge of the Light Brigade
Charging headlong into cannons and mages didn't always work out so well ...
Racial Wars Charge
The original concept was everyone was going to line up then charge. But the sight of the enemy was just too tempting :)

That siege was a ton of fun and we held Dag with less than half our force while the rest of our guys were fighting at mehatil and another city i can't remember anymore, I was at Dag for the duration though. You can see what happens at the end of the vid when our siege force converges at the end. (the vid ends there cause the attackers all died)
DF1 was a great experience and I can't wait to make a few new friends and plenty of new enemies in DF2 see you all on the battlefield.
That moment at 2:27 when the SoTL comes out of the mist and you just know in your gut what is coming next... best feeling in the world XD

OMG priceless. Not just for the clip, but for the reminder of similar events.

His team often did manage to save him, although more than once they got obliterated for abandoning thier position to try to save the boss.
[Betrayal by Treeboy, may he forever be shunned]
Darkfall also had some famous (well infamous) thefts, backstabbing, feuds and betrayals.
This betrayal below ultimately led to the player who was betrayed leaving Darkfall, but not before the clan that betrayed her was decimated - losing a general and many good players to a new clan who didn't want anything to do with backstabbing friends, losing thier nearby city, and losing all credibility as a potential ally. Forever more they were damned, because their own officers had proven they were in on the scam so plausible deniability was gone. The classic from Fspy "I hope you're not frapsing with the [Ventrillo] sound on".
Very few games have ever had the level of drama that Darkfall 1.0 provided; the only directly equivalant level of drama is found in EVE Online. The difference in Darkfall is that things get personal. In terms of "clean slate" for the game, it is understood that Aventurine has addressed many of the glaringly bad things that occurred in Darkfall 1.0 where at points players did take the freedom that the sandbox offered and go one step too far, attacking the player behind the avatar rather than keeping things in-game. However stronger community standards is expected in no way to stop lying, cheating, espionage, and basically all that scum and villainy stuff being completely legitimate tactics in DF:UW, Aventurine has had the experience in dealing with extremes and is now much better placed to ensure that the game stays as a game.
Without passion, there is no drama. And those are both missing from nearly every MMORPG out there - but wasn't missing from DF 1.0, and certainly isn't expected to be missing from DF:UW.
[Fspy in the bunker]
This one might not make much sense to people who didn't play Darkfall 1.0, where politics were absolutely huge. Empires rose and fell, and the community were always quick to comment.

Interesting... the prequel looked quite cool. Hmm, think ill put Darkfall: UW on my "games-to-watch-list".

On the old forum, we had a lot of very helpful "sticky" posts at the top, and I was wondering if it's going to be possible to get them "re-stickied" or create new ones, etc. (For example, the post describing upper right quadrant pain on the HELLP section of the forum, I have linked to people several times in the past with concerning pain or symptoms, it's really helpful to have it at the top so it can be easily found when I'm sending someone the link, especially because there's not really a good search term for it.) I've bumped it up for now but I figured it would be better to post the request here, if it's possible to do.
Thank you!

Apologies in advance and to all the amazing riders and performances that happened before my time. I know there were some good ones. I wish I'd been racing for all the Herzig, Proctor, Brink, Rankin, Wehyrich, Longmire, and TJ chronicles....or seen the Jason Hobson solo attacks. I know there's some amazing stories out there.....Also props to all the MT Lady racers (you all deserve your own list). I kept this list to dudes only.
10. Phil Grove Taco Tuesday Time Trial Record. TTTT is a tradition we have at UM Cycling. Phil put down the course record one nasty Tuesday evening. It will never be broken....he was breathing fire....
9. Bill Martin winning the Butte 100 after getting lost. Bill is just nasty on the mtb and the longer the better. To win the Butte 100 that year you needed some all around skills......orienteering, endurance, and perserverance. (I wasn't there for this one, but it was a really unique impressive performance)
8. Doug Dale puts himself so deep in the red at the Thunder. Doug stays with Mully all race long. Although he finished 2nd to the better man that day I've never seen someone get so deep in the chamber.
7. John Curry soloing the last lap of the Tour of the Bitterroot to hold off the field. GAS threw attacks out all day, and JC finished his team's effort off with a super human performance.
6. Ben Parson's win at Cow Country. A road racing newbie goes from cat 5 to cat 3 in a couple months. His win at Cow Country was a great spectacle of teamwork (with Butterfield in the break..all day), but quite the performance from the young gun, with little road experience.
5. Brad Morgan's solo victory in the Helena dirt crit. He held off the field for more then 2/3 of the race. Arguably the strongest Montana cross field of the year. On the finishing stretch the head wind was miserable. I don't know how he did that.....
4. Josh Tack spends half the day in a break at Bearmouth, gets reeled in, then proceeds to follow the winning move and the win the 5 up sprint. He said he was going to be aggressive....
3. Ben Kneller solos to victory in the Rocky Mountain Roubaix. Everyone thought he was some MSU dude. He snuch off the front and never looked back. It was the start of the business casual legend.
2. Frank Gonzalez wins the State Championship in one of the great cross battles of all time. John Curry v Frank the Tank all season and it comes down to a 100 meter sprint on dirt. Frank takes it.....cool as ever..
1. Clint Muhfeld lapping everyone and there mother at the inagural Rolling Thunder. Yes, it was a short course, but at that time there was no one who could touch Mully.
Honorable Mention
-Adam Jensen at the Tour of the Bitterroot road race finding a gear that others didn't have.
-Phil Grove putting up the fastest Pattee Canyon Hill Climb time in 15 years.
-Bob Presta in every Wednesday Night cross race this year.
-Dave Hartman 24 hours of Rapelj......I think he was on a single speed in a cow pasture for 24 hours....think about that
So, who will create the next Montana Legendary Performance. It could be you.......

Shaun, I need details from you about TTTT. I rode it with you once this fall and ever since have been biding my time to get on it for training this spring. UM cycling is poised to bring it back...

If TTTT is back I'm coming back! Missoula is so hot right now.
- January 27, 2009 at 10:21 AM
I would add Matt Shryocks "Ride hard or die" max tests on the trainer. He rode with an emphasis on the "or die"

What about the time Bobby Boucher came back at half time and the MUDDOGS won the Bourbon Bowl? Sorry, I couldn't help it. I love the blog, but can MSU cycling get a little love? If not, it's cool, I'll still be a Bozeman fan of Montanacyclocross.

Nice comments everyone. Yes, TTTT is coming back as a 5 week series starting the first Wednesday in March at 6pm. Nathan, I was always a fan of MSU Cycling. I can remember some epic performances from Kneller and Schultz (UM Road Race). I'd love to post about the squad send me some material.

Did I see a call out for an indoor trainer ride as one of the best Montana cycling performances? Elliot, I can only assume that's you.

Brown Glass Knobs, Set of 2 3 3
Great knobs These are the same quality as Anthropolgie knobs at a much lower price. The glass is a bit darker and definitely more brown than the photo, and the size is also larger than I expected, but I was pleased because I am using them for linen closet doors and didn't want something too dinky. They might be a bit large for dressers, so definitely check the measurements. Easy to install, comes with all hardware for different types of installation. January 9, 2013
Love these! I bought these to coordinate with my solid brass and bakelite drawer pulls on a sideboard. They are pleasantly retro, and a great match! I would say the color is Amber, not brown. I'm very happy with them. November 9, 2010
Look, nice Knobs look really nice, bot take out the metal on top, does not fit tight, and may be a little dangerous! March 19, 2011

Well, here we go once more! The Chevrolet Volt is again cast in its familiar role as the poster child of President Obama's socialist meddling in the free automotive market. The trigger for the latest salvos from the rabid, sadly misinformed right is the unfortunate fact that five weeks of Volt production had to be cancelled to balance inventories of unsold cars.
This is pretty much what I said would happen in the aftermath of deliberately misinterpreted NHTSA crash test results and the attendant right-wing furor over this four-wheeled menace to all we hold dear in America: U.S. jobs are in jeopardy because major portions of the American public believe, as Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly claimed, that they "catch fire."
After said Fox News turkey, there may well have been some backroom discussions between GM and Fox because, oddly enough, shortly thereafter, quite a few Volt commercials ran on Fox for which I doubt any money was exchanged.
So, the latest update: two nights ago, the imperious, self-glorifying O'Reilly, unquestioned ruler of the "No Spin Zone," once again kicked the "Volt" around and proclaimed "several have caught fire."
Let me reiterate:
1) The Volt was largely my idea, and I was its undeniable champion. Work on it was started in 2006. Obama was elected in 2008.
2) No Volt in service has ever shown as much as a wisp of smoke. Not in normal service, and not in crashes. The three Volt battery fires all occurred under extremely destructive experimental conditions. Two of the fires were induced in batteries not mounted in in cars.
3) Those who know me will vouch for my credentials as a conservative and vocal global warming skeptic. I spent 11 years as a Marine attack aviator trained and ready to take out Communists during the Cold War.
That's the truth, whether "no spin O'Reilly" likes it or not.
Meanwhile, the dastardly, communist Volt's rebadged sister car, the Opel Ampera, was just selected as European Car of the Year by 59 of Europe's leading automotive journalists. But what do they know? They're only Europeans! (Incidentally, it's the first time in history that an American-engineered and produced car has won European Car of the Year. A source of national pride? No … according to the Right-heads, a reason for shame!)

Nevada attorney general files complaint against Chael Sonnen, who could face $250,000 fine
Chael Sonnen is currently "laying low" and "enjoying his money," according to a recent statement from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White.
However, both situations could soon be turned upside-down thanks to Nevada's attorney general, who filed a formal complaint against the recently-retired mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter in the wake of his two failed drug tests that detected four banned substances in his system.
To the tune of $250,000, which would serve as the maximum fine amount, in addition to all costs associated with the situation such as attorney's fees, laboratory testing and other "investigative" expenses. In addition, Sonnen would be required to provide a negative urine test prior to applying for a fight license in the future.
Don't call it a comeback.
Sonnen was sent the letter on June 26, 2014, and has 20 days to respond to the complaint

Two bodies found Dec. 20 and Dec. 21 appear to be a murder suicide.
Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said the bodies of Lynda Craver Pages, 61, of Summerville and her son, Bertrand Francis Pages, 31, of North Carolina were found about a mile apart. Lynda Pages was found in her home Thursday night with a gunshot wound to the head. Bertrand Pages was found Friday in his vehicle with a self inflicted gunshot wound, according to Nisbet and Dorchester County Sheriffs Office officials.
Bertrand Pages vehicle was in a parking lot about a mile from his mothers house, Nisbet said.
This appears to be a murder suicide, but at two different locations, Nisbet stated. It is unclear at this time, why this murder/suicide happened and is still under investigation by the DCSO. This is a very sad time for this family at what is suppose to be a joyous time of the year. My heart goes out to this family and their friends.?DCSO was already investigating the death of Lynda Pages as a homicide when a second body, later identified as Bertrand Pages, was found.
According to a DCSO incident report, officers were dispatched to a home at 151 Brandywine Drive, in the Ashborough East subdivision, at about 8:20 p.m. Dec. 20 in reference to an unresponsive female. When they arrived, they spoke to the complainant, Jonathan Pages, of Sarasota, Florida, who said he found his mother in her home slumped over a puddle of what appeared to be blood.
Jonathan Pages said he and his brother, 30-year-old Bertrand Francis Pages were planning to spend Christmas with their mother and he had spoken to her on the telephone the day before, on Dec. 19 around 9 p.m. and she had told him that Bertrand Pages had just arrived at the home, according to the report.
No one else was at the home when Jonathan Pages arrived and found his mother, according to the report. A friend of the victim arrived while investigators were at the residence; she was supposed to meet the victim for dinner and knew nothing of the situation at hand, according to the report.
Police found a spent shell casing on the living room floor.
A neighbor reported seeing a dark colored SUV parked at the home on Dec. 19 but noticed nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. Both he and his wife reported hearing a loud boom from the victims house around 8 p.m. Dec. 19, but did not see anything out of the ordinary. The neighbor said he noticed her rear garage door ajar the next morning but thought nothing of it. In fact, when he saw it was still open when he returned from work, he shut it for her, he said.

ELATION Review From Greg Napier, The Rock Show
Great White's "Elation" Review from Greg Napier -
Host of The Rock Show on 88.7 WMMT-FM
What makes Rock N Roll last? The Feeling you get when the opening riff brings you out of your seat? Could it be a song that makes a life long memory from a verse, that will change the way you see the World? Maybe it is a band that brings you through 3 decades of your life and has you pulling for them the way you support your Favorite Sports team?
Millions of Album Sales, A Grammy Nomination, and let's not forget, one of the most amazing live acts that America has ever produced. "Great White" has answered all of the above questions.
In a career that is now at 30 years, listening to "Elation" lets you know that this is a band that will never slow down. Vocalist "Terry Ilous" shows why he has been considered one of the great vocalist's from the Late 80's. His bluesy, soulful, and passionate vocal work gives you the feeling that Steve Marriot gave at times. He has given Great White fans an amazing effort on "Elation" and the open track shows you why he is the right fit for this band. In "Love Train" Ilous really defines himself and why he is such a riveting singer. He clearly has brought some amazing energy to Great White!!
What really solidifies this band is the amazing playing of one of America's greatest Guitarist's in 'Mark Kendall'. Kendall shows his prowess on "Feeling so much better" a song that will surely become a staple on Fans IPOD'S and the live shows. Kendall shines as strong as he has in the past with such lasting riff's ala "House of Broken Love' and "Rock Me". He carried this on into this decades masterpiece in "Love Train". Influences from "Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page" is displayed all throughout 'Elation" and Kendall could be at his best in 2012.
The Track that really stands out to me on the album and why Kendall is such a force is "Lowdown" this song brings you to your feet! A song that gives you assurance that "Great White" has propelled themselves into a band that brings back the diversity they delivered on "Can't get There From Here" in 1999 with an effort that will be talked about for sometime!! "Elation" sounds like a young hungry band, that is ready to make a statement in 2012.
The band's playing is incredible on this effort. Michael Lardie and Audie Desbrow are both hidden gem's in this effort..Harmony's led by Lardie are so on point and prominent in this great body of work, that it gives you a 'Jack Blades" comparison. Lardie also Produced the album along with Kendall. His keyboard and guitar orchestration is masterful throughout the record. Desbrow and Scott Snyder let you know that this one the most talented Rhythm sections in Rock Today. Desbrow is one of the most amazing drummer's that we have today in Rock! Snyder gives you a Billy Cox/John Paul Jones feel all through the effort.
Great White Fans should feel right at home with 'Elation" and also hear the Freedom that this band has in this new era. Rock N Roll goes through changes and we can accept it or decline it. One thing for sure is "Great White" is a band that has given you a 30 year journey and we should be so grateful that there is still a band that cares enough about their fans to keep delivering year after year. Great White has never let us forget why we love Rock N Roll! 30 Years of service to us make's me a believer!
