A cherished gift
They were born six minutes apart. It rained that day and their mother said the raindrops were tears of joy from the forever above. He wanted a boy and she wanted a girl and they were both grateful to name boy and girl and even more thankful they were healthy.
The kids grew as kids grow. As parents, the parents grew as parents do. There were milestones and personalities and never were they far apart from each other. They lived on the family farm. There were crops in the fall and summer and hay all year and they grew into a world without walls or boundaries.
They hunted, too. He promised to his wife that if their baby girl wanted to hunt, then she would not be left behind. And so, together brother and sister followed daddy into the woods and they learned of the ways of game and nature and all of the lessons a young hunter does.
For a dozen years, they followed. For a dozen years they hid beneath blankets, squeezed into blinds, watched, learned, cheered, listened, and they became not youngsters that hunt, but hunters that are young.
Since they were nine years old, they had both found elf-built, and Santa delivered, youth hunting equipment beneath the tree. They both own youth-model shotguns and it has served them well through gun safety and hunting doves, squirrels, deer, rabbits, and turkey. Always, these activities were done together.
It was her idea and she convinced her brother that it was time and encouraged him to support her, for them both. It was one week ago, before Christmas, that they helped bring firewood into the house and interrupted the whistling of their dad.
She explained, "Dad, we just want to try it alone. I think we are ready."
He did not say no or yes or ask too many questions, then. Instead, he listened and thought.
In the days before Christmas, they would ask him about their request. There were affirmations of responsibility and safety and promises made, too. He had seen them grow and cherished the speed for which their youth had become. They are well mannered and smart and he knows they are capable as hunters, go. Still, he thought. He pondered. He questioned.
On Christmas Day he changed his mind twice before calling them to his chair, while the smell of homemade sausage and cinnamon and cheer filled the room. They had received gloves and hats and a new hunting coat, each, and a pair of boots and other gifts requested and some not.
They also received something more cherished, permission to hunt that afternoon, alone. He trusted them and he trusted his judgment and yet he still encouraged them to be reserved, before he changed his mind.
They packed the pack together. As all good hunting packs should include, found inside was a flashlight, bag of cookies, gloves, length of rope, knife, folding saw, a thermos of hot chocolate, two pads to sit upon, chewing gum, binoculars, an extra cap, and affixed to the outside, a rolled blanket.
He observed them, closely on the porch. There were questions of safety and he posed scenarios and he checked the shotguns, again. The rules were reviewed again. He squeezed them both on the shoulder. And by his clock he said, "No matter what, be on this porch by 5:45."
He watched them from the front yard and they disappeared behind the field, nearest the house. He knew where they were going and he believed they might have luck.
As two hours go, time was slow. He fidgeted and he looked at the open gifts beneath the tree and he thought of his first time, hunting alone, too. The sun was exhausted and its perspiration a stain of orange and violet against the Christmas Day sky.
At 5:38 he stepped onto the porch. There was silence. At 5:42 he looked at his watch, again. Still, there was silence. At 5:46, his steps were quick and soon the lights from the Jeep intermittently broke the darkness of the field.
He had heard no shot. He heard no call for his name. When he stopped the Jeep, 30 yards from the blind, he expected to see them move. His anger then turned to concern.
With his feet on the ground, he called them by names. There was no reply. He whistled and there was silence. It was cold and dark and his steps were quick to the blind.
When the beam of his flashlight intruded the darkness of the blind, he smiled. It was here that two hunters rested against each other. The blanket was pulled high and tucked beneath their chins and for a moment he paused and his look was warm and comforted.
He reached for the shotguns and checked them each. Not a shell had been loaded. He looked upon his hunters and with his hand; he touched her on the face, first. There was yawning and a deep-breath and soon her smile was wide and her teeth chattered as cold teeth do.
He helped them out of the blind and back at the house he watched them warm by the fire. No game had been seen, at least while they were awake, she said. His son said, "I guess we were late getting to the porch, dad?"
With his hand on her head and his shoulder, he said, "Son, a father will wait for many things in life. I don't know that I waited for the day that you and your sister would hunt alone. However, I know now that it was worth the wait and seeing you and her asleep against each other, safe and warm, is a gift I will always cherish."
Enjoy your time outdoors.

Even though I cringe every time I need to type the horrendously spelled Prinzzess I can forgive her. Especially when she's topless and about to kiss India Summer on a beautiful beach.
When you see me on the street with a smile on my face and a song in my heart – picture this photo.
Chances are we'll be thinking of the same thing.
And before you even ask, I have no clue what movie these picture is from. The photos where used in the covers of the the Bus Stops Series of movies, but I don't see an actual pairing of India and Prinzzess in any of the 3 films.
If you find it, let me know.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Bob Hughes Played by Don Hastings on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Don Hastings
Birthday: April 1 1934
Alison and Casey go downstairs and find that their dinner has been burned. He drops on a knee and begins proposing when the phone starts ringing. Chris calls and announces he's having everyone for a family thing. Ali thinks she should leave but he says they are family and they can tell everyone their news. Lisa and Kim arrive and say they are expecting Chris and Katie to announce their engagement. The couple walk outside and worry that the other couple has beat them to this announcement. They agree to tell Nancy though. Chris and Katie arrive. They notice that Bob hasn't arrived yet and wonder what's taking him so long. Bob walks in, flushed. He went to get his mom but... she's gone.
Back at the hospital, Katie and Chris tell Bob and Kim about the wedding. Kim thinks it's sad that it's such a small ceremony. Chris makes some jokes. Kim gets a call and says there has been a change of plans.
After the ceremony, Paul talks to his mother and half-brother about seeing James. They send the judge off and start pouring the champagne. Katie tells Chris that the couple will be happy, like she was with Brad. Bob and Kim watch her with their son and she talks about how sweet they look. Paul gathers everyone together to toast to the couple and wish them a happy life. Gwen tears up but Barbara tells her not to worry about what's happened because they are family. She tells Will how proud she is of him, even though she hasn't always been a great mom. She throws the bouquet and Katie catches it. Katie and Chris smile at each other. This leads to an awkward moment between them. He goes silent and then asks if they can go to her place and talk. She walks over to the bride and groom to congratulate them again. Kim takes Barbara aside and says that Jenny would be happy for her. Bob leads his wife away and they run into John by the front desk.
Kim stops by the hospital to see Bob and wonders why he hasn't gotten ready for the party they're going to. She thinks he must be nervous about who the board will choose to succeed him. They discuss their son and he thinks that he doesn't even want the job. Kim still has faith in him.
Luke and Reid head to the Metro for the party. Chris and Katie arrive. The doctors step aside and Reid urges Chris to got o the hospital. Chris refuses and insists this is his choice. The trustees begin questioning the doctors. Kim and Bob wonder what's wrong with their son when he doesn't seem able to say anything constructive. Reid tries to help Chris out. Bob calls for a break. His parents worry. Reid orders Chris to the hospital to see a cardiologist. "Why?" Katie asks, interrupting. Chris covers and Reid walks off. Katie wonders what's wrong with Chris. His parents walk over and Bob asks his son if he wants to back out. Chris tells Katie he wants to go. As they leave, Bob is shocked to see his son walks out and complains to Kim. Across the room, Reid tries covering to Luke. They begin arguing and Reid admits that Chris is his patient and he's very sick. Luke's impressed to see Reid showing his more compassionate side for his rival. Reid admits that he's changing and he has Luke to thank for that.
Bob and Kim go out for ice cream in Old Town and discuss their son. He thinks Chris has too much on his plate. He's sure they both want what's best for their son.
In the hall, Luke and Bob talk about the union meeting happening that afternoon and Bob invites him along to 'babysit' Reid. Luke walks down the hall and runs into Reid, who is distracted. Chris walks down the hall and Bob asks him to the meeting too. Chris agrees and loudly makes a jab at Dr. Oliver. After Bob walks off, Luke wonders why Reid is being so calm and professional around Chris.
Reid strolls into the labor meeting at Al's wearing his lab coat. He introduces himself to the union reps and tells them all about himself and how much he cares about his patients. He knows they work hard and he needs them but the economy sucks so there's only so much he can do. They shake his hand. Luke and Bob watch admiringly. Katie shows up and wonders where Chris is. Reid teases her about her boyfriend and she talks about how much she likes him before going off to make a call.
Bob finds his son sleeping in the office and tells him he missed the meeting. Chris claims he just dozed off but Bob accuses him of blowing it off and assures him he's not a shoe-in just because he's his son. Bob storms out and Reid trails in. Chris tells him to go away and his fellow doctor guesses what the results must have been. Chris explains that he was infected with the virus before. Reid thinks they should do an MRI but Chris insists on handling this alone and keeping it a secret. Katie interrupts and Reid walks off. Chris assures Katie that he still likes her and isn't blowing her off, but there's something he needs to take care of. He rushes down the hall, right past Reid and Luke. The doctor pulls Luke into a kiss and tells him that life is short.
Gwen and Will are in Old Town discussing Iris.
When Emily goes down to her wine cellar, she finds Barbara on the floor.
Bob stops by WOAK to get Kim. She's busy putting together a piece on Barbara and worries that her friend is in trouble. Bob's not that worried but Kim asks her to make her feel better by talking to Chris about the job he offered to Reid. Bob's sure Chris doesn't care. When he leaves, Chris shows up and begins venting about is father's job offer for Reid. He assumes this must be his father's way of making him compete for the position. She doesn't see why he cares if he's not sticking around. Chris explains that he's not leaving town after all.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource,
Margaret A. Foster (Quakertown, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: Welcoming Hera's Blessing (Paperback)
While there are a couple of rituals on line and scattered about in various books on Wicca or the Rites of Passage, there isn't much out there in the way of a single good book that would cover a variety of pagan 'wedding' rituals.� Or is there?
'Handfasting and Wedding Ritual' offers just what you might want to consider for the pagan handfasting.� This book offers a variety of rituals that you can take as they are or use as a starting place to develop your own.�
The book covers the history of 'handfastings' as well as discussing how it relates to being pagan.� There is discussion on preparations, the steps to plan in ritual, and how you might approach these various aspects of ritual as well as aesthetics.
This book does not focus on any particular person being in need of this material.� The book is a handbook for use by pagan clergy or it can be used by the couple to plan with their clergy.� It can be used for legal ceremonies as well as those that are not legally binding but are heart bound.
Also included in the book are the stories from myth of famous couples, such as Tam Lin and Shiva and Parvati.� The book covers male rituals, female rituals, polyamorous handfastings, various mixed faiths weddings, heathen handfastings, Faery Weddings, Warrior's Wedding and many more.� A very inclusive volume of different styles and beliefs is presented here.
Also included is a section on 'handparting' with rituals for bringing about closure as well as healing.
The book closes with some words to the pagan clergy about handfastings.� Here is shared some experiences, some insights and some discussion on ethics and your duty.� There is some wonderful material here for the new as well as experienced pagan clergy in regards to handfasting and should be considered required reading by anyone who is looking at or involved in this calling to community service.
Appendix's include astrological planning, symbols, flowers and very well laid out index.
Whether planning a handfasting, or looking at being pagan clergy or if you are pagan clergy, this book is probably the best investment you can make to help you along with plans, problems and performance.� Well thought out, well put together and easy to follow, it is a book that approaches the pagan bonding ritual with no boundaries but has plenty of common sense and good advice.� boudica
5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book!! (and not only for Pagan libraries!),
Leigh Raven (Somewhere in Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: Welcoming Hera's Blessing (Paperback)
This book is a must have for every Pagan library, and for non-Pagans alike! Not only are the Pagan handfastings & wedding rituals included that have been so sought after, but interfaith and alternative (gay & polyamourous) weddings as well. There is no other comprehensive book out on the market today that will give you a such a great deal of information and wonderful hints for planning & writing a Pagan/Alternative wedding ceremony. A thousand thanks to Raven Kaldera & Tannin Schwartzstein for writing such a needed book for the Pagan community!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Wedding Rituals,
Gino (Deltona, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: Welcoming Hera's Blessing (Paperback)
Greetings Everyone,
This is a great book to get even if you are not pagan. It covers interfaith wedding rituals between pagans and catholics to pagans and islamics and so much more. If you are a inter faith minister then this is a book I recommend that you get it will come in handy believe me.

The decision has been made to offer a second service learning experience to Guatemala in June. This year's trip is open to current Juniors and Seniors. Interested students are encouraged to sign up by November 1. Curamerica Global, the Raleigh based developing country rural health program, will again be organizing and leading the trip.
For well over a decade Curamerica has run volunteer programs in several developing countries throughout the world which has taken thousands of adults, including hundreds of medical and college age students in what is often described as a transformative experience. Fayetteville Academy was the only high school ever asked to participate in sa ervice trip organized by Curamerica . Because of the successful trip last year, Curamerica would like to partner with us on an annual basis. We are extremely proud of the students who participated last year. They have paved the way for what will hopefully be another extraordinary opportunity for participants.
The trip director, Andrew Herrera, from Curamerica will be on campus for the Pig Pickin' on October 13th to answer questions and to help launch fundraising efforts. Fundraising including the sale of Value Cards and Student Identification Cards, significantly lowered the cost per student volunteer last year. Mr. Sanborn has contact information for Mr. Herrera and can answer questions in advance of the next meeting on November 1st in room 26 at 6:00.

VI.4.3 Pompeii. December 2004. Looking west from entrance.
According to Boyce, in the west wall of the room with the counter were the ruins of a niche.
Its walls were coated with white stucco and decorated with coloured spots.
Its floor was a projecting tile.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.45, no.150).
According to Garcia y Garcia due to the bombing, the niche to the west of the thermopolium has sadly disappeared.
Also lost was the recess, perhaps for a bed in the south-east of the small rear room.
See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L'Erma di Bretschneider. (p.75)

We enter the final week of the regular season, and still plenty of uncertainty in the divisional indices for the upcoming postseason tournaments.
What's not uncertain is the top spot in the boys soccer power rankings, occupied for most of the season by the Redhawks of Champlain Valley.
This week's rankings:
1. Champlain Valley (11-1): The Redhawks kicked their lone defeat with four straight victories, including triumphs over Metro foes South Burlington, Colchester and Mount Mansfield. CVU also has eight clean sheets on the season, but it has tallied just eight goals in its last five games (had 20 tallies in previous five contests). Last week: 1.
2. Mount Mansfield (9-2-1): The Cougars bounced back from their double-overtime loss to CVU with a hard-fought, 1-0 win at Missisquoi. MMU heads to Colchester for a key regular-season finale with playoff seedings at stake. Last week: 2.
3. Colchester (9-2-1): The Lakers' victory over St. Johnsbury last week was impressive in two ways. It was SJA's first loss at home, where it has scored 24 goals this season. And Colchester yielded no goals in a 2-0 win. Last week: 4.
4. Mount Abraham (12-0): The second leg of a regular-season sweep of Green Mountain n Valley might arguably be the Eagles' strongest win yet. Remaining regular-season opponents Middlebury and Rice stand in the way of the Addison County program's first perfect regular season. Last week: 5.
5. St. Johnsbury (9-2-1): The Hilltoppers ended a two-game losing streak with a 7-1 win over Brattleboro on Monday. Last week: 3.
6. Hartford (10-2): Woodstock and Rutland are left on the schedule, two teams Hartford has already beaten this season as it chases a possible No. 2 seed for the Division I playoffs. Last week: 6.
7. Essex (6-5-1): With a five-game unbeaten streak, the Hornets have come alive at right time, much like last year when they gave CVU all it could handle in a double-overtime loss in the semifinals. Last week: 8.
8. South Burlington (7-5):With Dinesh Khadka back in the fold and supplying some key goals, the Rebels have worked themselves into better playoff position. The Rebels have won three straight. Last week: 10.
9. Stowe (8-2-2): The Raiders, following their scoreless draw with U-32, are tied in the index with Williamstown for Division III's top seed.Last week: 9.
10. Burlington (5-5-2): The Seahorses have yet to win in October, with just one goal during the 0-2-2 stretch. Last week: 7.
On the bubble: Mount Anthony (9-4), Montpelier (7-3-2)

Back in early December I said the US economy was about to take a "Swan Dive" over the "Fiscal Cliff" as sequestration came into effect. I said it would do so since it was a "political orphan," meaning that the blame could not be placed on any one politico, but on all. Thus it was the best political option, but not necessarily the best economic option.
So now we are in the midst of sequestration with all Federal agencies scrambling to adapt to major cuts in their budgets. However, in spite of dire warnings, the economy has not tanked, probably because we never have produced a real recovery from the "Great Recession." It would appear that sequestration works well in the "New Normal" to lower Federal deficits and debt without causing major problems.
Yes, there are those who lament losses to the Peace Corps and US Defenses but there does not seem to be a groundswell of opposition to sequestration. Most seem content to let sequestration fumble through cutting Federal expenditures. More importantly, it will make measures that are "political orphans" more commonplace.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: Shadam Fans (No Bash)
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Quote beachmomluvr: I don't know what the future holds for Shadam (post baby daddy reveal) but I am sure they are not over. Here are the things I am hanging on to:
1. SC told Shadam fans to be patient and flexible, we certainly have been flexible with the FWB situation and now we have to be patient with this blip in the road for them;
2. Both AM and BB favorited one of our fellow Shadam fan's tweets about this being "Shadam's journey";
3. AM tweeted to a Shadam fan who was frustrated with the FWB situation to "keep watching";
4. JG said for June that Sharon and Adam's relationship would take a "surprising turn", well right now there is no Sharon and Adam relationship and the word "surprising" has a more positive connotation than a negative one IMO. I can't see the "surprising turn" turning them into enemies, my hope is that we get Adam retrospecting about giving up Sharon and then he makes a very public and heartfelt plea to get her back and that he loves her, since we haven't heard those words in a long time. The surprising turn could also be that Sharon gets pregnant but I really don't want to go there IMO.
Hi, Beachmom-
Excellent thoughts. I believe Shadam will be push-and-pull going forward, regardless of whether they are friends or romantically involved. I'm holding out a little bit of hope that the writers know what they have with Shadam and will do them justice. I could never see them as enemies. If they weren't enemies after he stole her baby, they won't be going forward.
I said before and I will say it again. I don't believe the secret will come out this week. Adam will speculate (finally), but Chelsea will lie again. SBu & MCE are still filming scenes together and JG said they heat up in June. If Dylan finds out she lied, I cannot see him just going with it. He doesn't seem the type. I really hope Chelsea commits and sticks with this decision because the waffling is just tired.
I think, though, that Chylan's date will be at the carnival and Adam will confront them there. I see this as hopeful for Shadam fans. Adam + Fortune Teller = GOOD.
Hope everyone is having a great day.

Quote canada gal: Welcome Pleasss
LOL. I didn't realize you were new to this board. I liked the thread you started.
thank you. After the HORRIBLE break up we had to be a witness to, I felt we need a break, something positive to fall back on but never expected the thread to grow that fast
Welcome, Pleass. Thanks for joining us. Generally, the only safe place to post about Shadam and expect positive replies is here, I've found. Shadam, Adam and Sharon threads spread like wildfire and not always in a good way.
I loved the thread, though!
Quote canada gal: I was watching the scene with Sharon's dream. Someone posted that her dream maybe foreshadowing what's to come. I think they may be right. Adam says to Sharon "I should have never sent you away"
At the time, I did not understand what Adam meant by sending her away, but after the break up scene it all made sense.
I have attached the link.
I assumed the "sent you away" line could have been about how he suggested she leave the day she brought him home from the hospital; however, you could be correct!
Guess we'll need to let it play out.
Quote starlight19:
Quote pleasss:
Quote starlight19: Ok, I've been watching the break up scene for the umpteeth time and I still can't believe how heart breaking it is to see Sharon so heartbroken and clearly Adam wasn't feeling that great doing it to her. When she called him the Bastard that everyone says he is his face said it all his eyes were tearing up. He hated doing that to her.
But what has scratching my head is why Sharon went back to OTB crying, while Victor and Nikki looked on. God I can't stand them. If I were Sharon I would go back home lock my doors and cry in my pillow.
I know right? that scene at OTB with her crying in front of those miserable FOOLS with no real purpose on the show is beyond anyone's guess and I for one I'm baffled????
Seriously, what was the purpose of the scene. Was it to show the miserable old goats that Adam chose his family over Sharon because Victor was sure gloating. I wonder if Nikki knew about his plan?
It was plot-related to have her go there so Victor could see. It was PROOF because Adam's word would not be good enough. (Maybe OTB is on the main floor of the penthouse building or nearby???)
I am sure Sharon would have gone home or someplace private normally, but they had to have Victor see and that was the best way to do it, I guess.
Oh, so Monday's episode indicates that Adam pushed Sharon away on the day before the anniversary of Cassie's death. Seriously? Adam has some culpability, but Victor ensured she'd get thrown under the bus and then run over it in reverse by doing it on such a painful day.
I hope the Cassie scenes are only Nick and Sharon. Normally I like that the Newman's acknowledge it as a family, but I don't want them anywhere near my Sharon right now.
A little OT:
Gramee Bee
Team SHADAM, I've been lurking for awhile do to family needs.
Quote pleasss:
Quote Jackie10: I finally got the chance to watch the scene where Adam told Sharon they could not be together any more. It was clearly something he did not want. Victor needs to butt out. If it were Little Nicky wanting Sharon I do not see Victor saying these things to him.
Victor clearly cant stand Sharon or CL either one. He knows what CL is. Adam will never be happy as long as he is letting Victor control his life and he knows that all he has to do is look at Little Nicky and Victoria to see the repercussions. I do not see this lasting long.
OH Jackie, I know he did NOT want to break her heart like that but Dear Lord, couldn't he have MUSTERED enough courage to HOLD OFF on doing that until he had some ample time to reflect on it.
I agree but apparently the writers have something in the works and wanted it done quickly. Which is beyond me why they would do this so fast yet keep the other boring story lines moving at a snails pace. I am so sick of CLs whining, Chloe and Kevins BS. Michael and Laurne's stupidity. Fen, Summer and Kyle who cares? Little Nicky is a loser and nothing is going to change that.
Quote Gramee Bee: Team SHADAM, I've been lurking for awhile do to family needs.
We are two-thirds of the way through May sweeps, and IMO the show has not lived up to the expectations of what I normally think that sweeps period have historically meant. There is nothing happy about this show. It is pure angst, conflicts, and betrayal. What on earth is happening?
Adam's demeanor with Victor and his break-up with Sharon is profoundly disappointing, and I frankly never thought I would feel this way about my favorite character/actor. Surely there is something significant coming that will prove all this CRAP just inherently WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
What is left but to speculate..........?
Adam has a plan to show the vile, vicious Victor that he no longer is MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, that Adam has replaced him. He has the funding for Newman from, perhaps a mob source; maybe he will turn his back on the family business and let Victor hold the bag.......the big winner in the end being ADAM!
It makes no sense to me why Adam has residual feelings for Chelsea, especially after some of the things he has said to Sharon over the past six months. Chels seems to be so over him and on to Dylan. On Adam's part, perhaps it is guilt or failure, but it is evident it certainly is not Love, and for anyone to think the answer is for Daddy, Mommy and Baby to reunite and live happy ever-after is dreaming a dream that will never happen. Not in soap land! I believe for SHADAM to finally happen, Adam must be totally, 100 percent, over the ex-wife grifter con. I believe we will see the beginning of this fiasco come to an end, and at that point, his feelings for Chels will be so negative he will finally not give a flip what she does, baby or no baby. I think she will continue to dupe Dylan, perhaps even make a life with him, and won't that really make her a sustainable, relevant character (ha-ha). If I were writing this story, I would ship her over to B&B or revisit the pond with no one around to fish her out.
So YES, I am committed to hanging on, in the hopes that Adam is far smarter than Daddy, that Adam has not lost his mind, and that he soon will realize what a stupid fool he has been to ever, ever think the vile, disgusting father he has in Victor is worth what he seems to have given up with Sharon.
WRITERS – you do not have one person on this show that is rootable except for Sharon. No one is happy, no one is content. I don't expect it all to be "wine and roses", but I would like episodes where my finger could release the fast-forward button for at least a portion of the show! Come on now, you can do better than this!
Long Live SHADAM! Keeping the Faith.......for awhile longer.
Great Post!
Shadam is the only thing worth talking about on this whole soap. And the writers need to keep them in a buzz worthy story together.

Rotation Schedule
First Year: PGY-1
This year, which is usually completed at The Mount Sinai Hospital, includes three months of neurology, three months of neurosurgery, and six months of general surgery. The three-month neurology rotation is largely focused within the Neurosurgery-Neurology ICU and adult neurology. We have incorporated neurology into the first postgraduate year in order to prepare residents with the appropriate fundamental skills in neurological examination and diagnosis and critical care management prior to beginning their clinical neurosurgery rotations.
PGY-1s attend the Society of Neurological Surgeons PGY1 Neurosurgery Resident Course (known as the Neurosurgery 'Bootcamp'). The camp focuses on fundamental skills, patient safety, professionalism, and communications. Neurosurgical faculty lead intensive hands on exercises oriented to fundamental bedside procedural and operative skills. These exercises have been designed to allow residents to familiarize themselves with the basics in an educational and risk free environment. Skills relevant to all PGY1 residents, such as line placement and suturing, as well as specific neurosurgical skills, such as drilling and craniotomy, are covered.
Second Year: PGY-2
The second year of the program is a full time assignment in clinical studies, with nine months in the neurosurgery service at The Mount Sinai Hospital and three months at Elmhurst Hospital. During the first year, you'll begin to gain knowledge into the evaluation of neurosurgical patients, pre-operative evaluation, and post-operative management. There is introductory operative management in simple spine, CSF diversion, functional neurosurgery, neurotrauma, bedside procedures, and the set-up and opening of cranial surgical procedures.
Elmhurst Hospital is a city hospital where the neurosurgical service is resident run with attending supervision. There is an extensive neuro-trauma experience and outpatient experience during the time spent there.
You'll spend nine months on the neurosurgery service as a junior resident at The Mount Sinai Hospital and three months at Elmhurst Hospital. You'll have the opportunity to admit, examine and care for neurosurgical patients, assist in the operating room, attend outpatient clinic, consult on emergency room and other hospital cases, attend all conferences and participate in the teaching of medical students. The endovascular experience will be incorporated into the daily operating room (OR) schedule during all the years of residency. You will participate in the endovascular operating suite, taking on progressive responsibility. The intention is to incorporate a full fellowship experience in neuroendovascular procedures.
Third Year: PGY-3
In the third year, you'll also spend nine months at The Mount Sinai Hospital and three months at Elmhurst Hospital.
During the nine months at Mount Sinai, one month will focus on neuroradiology and one month on neuro-pathology. The other seven months will be on the neurosurgery service. You'll examine and participate in the care of each patient and scrub on all cases going to surgery. In addition to management of patients on the ward in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency room (ER), you'll gain greater experience in the OR. The duties are as outlined for the first year but with additional responsibilities and expectations. During the second year, you'll be expected to participate in clinical research projects and to attend a national meeting. You'll also be encouraged to present at meetings on your clinical or laboratory studies.
The three months at Elmhurst hospital emphasize the skills and techniques necessary for trauma neurosurgery.
Allied Specialties: Neuroradiology and Neuropathology
During the neuroradiology rotation, you'll participate in the performance of myelograms, arteriograms and all interventional procedures. You'll also participate in all neuroradiology conferences and often lead the radiology review sessions for the Department of Neurosurgery. During the neuropathology rotation, you'll spend time reviewing current cases with the attending neuro-pathologist, in the frozen section room, and in brain cutting sessions.
Fourth Year: PGY-4
The fourth year is devoted to a hypothesis-driven basic science research project in order to establish the foundation for an academic or other innovative neurosurgical career.
You may pursue your work in an appropriately mentored environment in any Mount Sinai science laboratory. Because neurosciences at Mount Sinai are exceedingly strong and diverse, you can study in a laboratory that fits your interests.
The year may be spent, for example, in a neurosurgery laboratory or a laboratory of an associated department such as neurobiology or molecular biology:
- In a neurosurgery laboratory, you may join investigations focused on ischemic models and cerebral protection, cerebrovascular physiology, neuro-oncology/gene therapy for malignant brain neoplasms, and neurophysiology with epilepsy models.
- Associated laboratories, for example, are studying molecular aspects of brain tumors and ischemic disease. A portion of the time may also be used for an enfolded clinical neurosurgical fellowship; however, the expectation is that the resident will continue to participate in clinical research during that time.
Certain residents may take advantage of graduate programs in public health, outcome research, and other programs offered at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Regardless of what you choose, the experience is expected to result in several publications and presentations at national meetings based on a more focused understanding of the area investigated and further ability in the subspecialty area. If you choose to focus the year in a subspecialized area such as spine or pediatric neurosurgery, the rotation may be moved to a later phase of training when you have more surgical experience necessary for the clinical rotation. During this time, you will provide on-call neurosurgical coverage at Mount Sinai Hospital and Elmhurst Hospital so that you'll maintain contact with clinical neurosurgery and continue to enhance your operative skills. These calls will be performed while maintaining compliance with the duty hour regulations.
Fifth Year: PGY-5
The fifth year is the second required basic science laboratory experience and/or clinical elective. This is a continuation of the previous year to complete a hypothesis-driven basic science research project or neurosurgical sub-specialization in order to establish the foundation for an academic or other innovative neurosurgical career.
During this time, you'll be expected to complete the research plans formulated and begun the previous year. A portion of this time may also be used for an enfolded clinical neurosurgical fellowship; however, the expectation is that you will continue to participate in clinical research during that time.
Finally, certain residents may take advantage of graduate programs in public health, outcome research, and other programs offered at Icahn School of Medicine. You'll provide call coverage at Mount Sinai Hospital and Elmhurst Hospital, while maintaining compliance with duty hour regulations.
Sixth Year: PGY-6
The sixth year is divided between six months as Chief Resident at Elmhurst Hospital, three months as Senior Resident at Mount Sinai Hospital, and three months of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Montefiore Hospital.
These rotations provide the opportunity to direct a clinical service with a defined patient population and longitudinal follow-up of all service patients from their initial consultation to postoperative follow-up. As Elmhurst Chief Resident, you will be the primary neurosurgeon overseeing the outpatient/emergency room setting, the OR, inpatient management, and post-operative outpatient follow-up – all with faculty supervision. As Chief Resident, you'll manage the neurosurgical service and be the primary operative surgeon on all neuro-surgical procedures. This rotation also provides an extensive experience in neuro-trauma.
The time as Senior Resident at Mount Sinai Hospital is spent focusing on enhancing the operative experience, especially with more difficulty procedures.
The final three months of pediatric neurosurgery at Montefiore Hospital is spent focusing on pediatric neurosurgery and obtaining a broad exposure to this sub-specialty.
Seventh Year: PGY-7
The seventh year is devoted to 12 months of Chief Residency. Two chief residents work together to direct the neurosurgery service and are independently responsible for the patients cared for by the neurosurgery attendings on their respective services.
The two chief residents alternate months as the "Super Chief," whose responsibilities include:
- Managing patients in the neurosurgical service
- Managing one OR daily
- Planning and executing all types of neurosurgical operations
- Providing guidance on all important management decisions and serving as the primary surgeon on all operative cases they choose and are capable of performing (under the supervision of faculty)
- Acting as the primary surgeon or first assistant in operations on a daily basis and guiding junior residents when appropriate
- Overseeing the management of post-operative care
- Coordinating operating schedules and resident assignments
- Teaching junior residents, interns, and medical students
- Conducting house staff rounds each morning and evening
- Participating in the planning and organization of teaching conferences
- Implementing and supervising the call and vacation schedules (in accordance to departmental policies and in conjunction with Program Coordinator and Director)
- Serving as the first line of communication for issues concerning duty hour regulations and violations
- Suggesting policy and administrative proposals from the residents to the Program Director and faculty
With increasing responsibilities in the operating room and following the surgery, you and your counterpart will expand both manual dexterity and judgment to achieve the goal of a mature experienced neurosurgeon with appropriate judgment and skill to care for all neurosurgical diseases.

Glorious, landlocked Orlando, Florida was sweet relief after the terrible, horrible, no good very bad day we spent in Chicago for American Idol auditions this week. Plenty of great contestants to choose from, a pair of sisters who dressed in neon mini-dresses that came courtesy of the 5-7-9 at the Cherry Hill Mall, a guy in handcuffs, and Kara DioGuardi's horribleness amplified to the nth power, where "n" equals Kristin Chenoweth. Algebra aside, this was an episode we loved and hated all at once.
5. Kara And Kristin Sitting In A Tree
Broadway star, Glee guest actress and Critics' Choice Movie Awards host Kristin Chenoweth was a decent enough choice for a guest judge. She's musically talented, she's got a perky personality, and, unfortunately, she brings out the worst, most annoying characteristics in Kara. Luckily, Chenoweth was only available for Day 1 of auditions, so we only had to endure the copious high fives and "Girl Power!" rally cries (yes, seriously, in 2010 with the "girl power") for half the show. It's great that they hit it off and all, but you know it's bad when Ryan Seacrest swears, because even he noticed they "annoyed the sh*t out of Simon". And us.
4. The Sobs, They Never End
Is this season turning into a charitable cause? It's getting very Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this year and it feels like they're only letting the sob stories through. Our heartstrings were definitely tugged though to the point where maybe we misted up…a little…hardly…whatever, no we didn't (yes we did) at Seth Rollins' story. At 28, this was Rollins' last chance to audition and now more than ever the guy needs a break and some money to care for his autistic son. Coupled with his song choice of "Someone To Watch Over Me", our emotions hung by a fragile thread and we were psyched to see him make it to Hollywood. Matt Lawrence, the night's final audition, was more of the same – seeking the redemptive powers only offered by the Fox Network, Lawrence was in prison for four years and wants to sing to make his family proud. Kudos to his Ray LaMontagne song choice and his cuddly exterior which helped him make it through. Overall, seeing them go to Hollywood was the emotional equivalent of "Move that bus"!
3. Wacky, In A Good Way
Between Jay Stone, the beatboxing Beatle and Cornelius Edwards, he of the split pants, the night's talent definitely veered toward the unconventional, and we dug it. We actually didn't really expect the judges to take either of these guys seriously and they both managed to get through. Plus, our new favorite saying is definitely "My pants done rip."
2. Sister, Sister
Oh, the Desimone sisters, Amanda and Bernadette. Like Kara said "Something about you…something told me you were from Jersey." These were two that we definitely didn't believe the judges would go for but managed to squeak by. Also, like Chicago contestant Charity Vance, they have a salon in their home – what gives? When did this become a thing? Mostly the judges enjoyed watching each girl while the other sister would sing, that was what made them so riveting – when Amanda sang "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", it was pretty clear that somebody she referred to was Bernadette. Bernie, sure enough, was dancing off camera. It was all very weird, and felt like a skit written by people who were just imagining how they thought sisters should act. And why would the judges deny us more of that?
1. A Glinton Of Hope
In a night where we got Jarrod Norrell singing "Amazing Grace" only to be led out in handcuffs, a felon who robbed a bank who wowed us with his sensitive side, Kara not wearing a bra, and a lot of genuine talent, we're still mesmerized by the first contestant we saw, Mr. Theo Glinton. Glinton has mirrored pieces of flair glued to his face, feathers, a cape reminiscent of Buffalo Bill's from Silence of the Lambs, and a future goal of owning a salon (again, what show are we watching, because if it's not Extreme Makeover: Home, then it's Tabitha's Salon Takeover), and no musical talent. But A+++ for effort in the eye-catching department, we say.
Next week, Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne will be doling out their musical "expertise" in L.A. so get a grain of salt ready!

Can anyone help - weird problem...
Hi all,
My spec is 2.3GHz Power PC G5 Mac OSX Vers 10.4.11. 4.5 GB RAM
Over the weekend I got back from a weeks holiday and powered up my Mac. Normally I keep it on 24/7 and have not had any problems.
On three occasions yesterday while it was left alone or in sleep mode the fans went very loud and the screen would not come back up.
The only way to stop the fans was to hold in the start button for several seconds until it powered down and restart it up again. At one point on restart it did say I needed to restart as max os x had quit unexpectedly.
Now today I had to go out for six hours so I set itunes to play a long list of songs my thinking being that if the mac is busy doing something it wont go to loud fans and fail, so I come back after six hours out and yes its fine still playing the playlist and working ok.
anyone got any clues? I am worried if I leave it idle the same problem is going to happen again.
Maybe the Restart was what it needed ???
By the way, lots of people think they have a "weird problem". You'd be better off with a descriptive title that describes your issue. That way, someone with specific knowledge of the problem could drop in and help you.

Jan. 14, 2006
Lewisburg, Pa. - Senior guard Shannon Bush pumped in a game-high 19 points and junior guard Brittany Keil tied a career-high with 17 points and recorded her fourth career double-double (10 rebounds) to lead the Holy Cross women's basketball team to a thrilling 67-63 overtime win over Bucknell on Saturday afternoon at Sojka Pavilion. Holy Cross improves to 6-9 (2-1 Patriot League), while snapping a two-game winning streak for the Bison (8-7, 2-1 Patriot League).
Senior guard Sarah Placek had 11 points and junior center Kaitlin Foley chipped in with 10 points and eight rebounds for the Crusaders. Sophomore guard Laura Aloisi recorded a game-high seven assists and Jessica Conte had eight points and six rebounds.
The game was deadlocked at the break (27-27) after a back-and-forth first half in which there were eight ties and 11 lead changes. Holy Cross took a three point lead (13-10) following a Placek trey with 12:01 on the clock, but Bucknell's Lauren Schober then scored seven straight points for the Bison to put the home team back on top, 17-15 with 10:03 remaining. The Crusaders fought back to take their largest lead of the half (four points) after a Keil three-ball at the 5:36 mark, but Bucknell responded again with an 8-0 run to take a 27-23 lead with 2:28 left. Keil then scored the final four points of the half to get the Crusaders back in business at 27-27.
Holy Cross shot 34.4 percent in the first twenty minutes, but was able to force 11 Bison turnovers.
The second half started much the same, as there were five lead changes and four ties in the first six minutes of the half. With 14:06 left, Kesha Champion hit a jumper to give the Bison a two point lead (41-39), but Holy Cross then went on a 17-4 tear to take a 56-45 lead with 4:11 remaining. Bush had eight points during the run and Foley added six of her own.
The Bison battled back, however, and went on an 11-0 run to tie the game at 56-56 with 22 seconds remaining in regulation. Lindsey Hollobaugh nailed a three with 37 seconds left to cut the HC lead to three (56-53) and Champion drained another three to tie things up.
Bush opened the overtime period with a long ball from the right wing to give the Crusaders an early three point advantage (59-56). Two Bison free throws cut the lead to one, but a Foley hoop inside, a Conte steal and lay-in on the other end, and a Bush free throw gave the Crusaders a six point advantage with 1:34 left in the extra period. Hollobaugh converted on a traditional three point play to cut the Crusader lead in half (64-61), but Aloisi hit made good on two free throws to give Holy Cross a 66-61 edge with 28 seconds on the clock. Hope Foster scored in the paint to cut the lead again to three (66-63), but Placek hit another HC free throw with just 14 seconds left to seal the game.
Holy Cross shot 35.2 percent for the game, while the Bison made 39.7 percent of their field goals. Bucknell outrebounded Holy Cross, 46-41 for the game, but the Crusader defense forced 22 Bison mishaps.
Holy Cross begins a three-game home stand with a showdown against second-ranked Duke on Monday, Jan. 16, at the Hart Center. Tip-off is slated for 7:05 p.m. The Crusaders then host American (Jan. 21) and Colgate (Jan. 24).

Last week, I stepped out to the home break for a twilight slide after a long day of classes, savoring the crisp autumn air. My rigorous school schedule sometimes doesn't allow me to paddle out until the sun is wavering on the horizon line, and even when I'm exhausted, I find that some evening noseriding is the perfect way to end my day. Nothing can beat that moment when the wind dies down, and all becomes still except for the smooth rhythm of the sea.

Oh dear. I'm so sorry. Is the vet sure it's just colic? While I'm no expert - never had a horse with more than gas colic, and we cleared that up without having to call the vet - it sounds like it might be something a bit different.
If it's just colic, could the vet leave you something for pain to give her until it clears up? That might save you another trip, then again, if it doesn't clear up, he may need to re-assess the situation.
Sending healing vibes your way!

Marshall's College of Arts and Media very productive
As another semester begins at Marshall University, I start seeing all the new brochures from the College of Arts and Media. Art exhibitions, concerts, plays and performances, just to name a few.
Sure, it's my job to promote this college. But the amount of culture our students are providing this community - often for free admission - is nothing short of remarkable.
Each year, our fine arts students are involved in more than 150 events, open to the public. One-hundred and fifty. In one year. That doesn't include what our journalism students offer. (Yes, fine arts and journalism/mass communications have merged at Marshall. We're acclimating quite well. And we showcase just about every form of expression there is.)
The J-school brings you WMUL, the college radio station. It prints The Parthenon newspaper five days a week if you're lucky enough to snag a copy, and it has Out Loud - a student-run advertising and public relations agency serving this community.
Long story short, we're a machine. The College of Arts and Media at Marshall is a force. And I hope you're taking the time to appreciate the entertainment - and education - that our students (and fine faculty!) share with Huntington.
No person in this city should ever say there's nothing to do here. The next time you hear this, have them call me. Any given night there's something going on here. Whether it's an orchestra concert, a main-stage production of "The Taming of the Shrew," an exhibition of local artists' work at Gallery 842, or the Marshall Artists Series bringing in Jason Mraz. There's something to do.
Feel like staying in? Tune into 88.1-FM. You'll be entertained by the college radio DJs.
Nervous an event isn't family-friendly? Call. Many of them are. Matter of fact, I still remember my (then) 4-year-old playing her "air violin" along with Lindsay DiFatta's senior recital. She can recognize Tommy Warf's ceramic work on a poster among other art. Often, we assume these places aren't kid-friendly, so we don't even try. Gallery 842 is in walking distance of Pullman Square, and free. Take a stroll down 4th Avenue and check it out. They don't expect you to be an art connoisseur, I promise. And if you're curious about something, you can ask questions to the gallery staff. They don't bite. On the contrary, they think it's cool you're interested. And even cooler you're exposing your children - the next generation of potential artists - to art. Think you can't wear jeans to a theatre performance? You can. I've done it. So relax, and participate.
We're determined to bring you an array of cultural events, but you've got to take us up on it and attend.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has announced that his office has obtained a judgment ordering the seller of attic insulation to Wisconsin homeowners to pay a total of $215,560.85 for violations of state consumer protection laws. The lawsuit, filed in Fond du Lac County Circuit Court in 2013, alleged that Mark Stitt, currently a resident of Panama City, Florida, through his business ES Technology, used fraudulent representations to sell an attic insulation product called ProGuard AB to Wisconsin homeowners, a number of whom were elderly.
According to the state's complaint, Stitt and ES Technology marketed its product by sending postcards to Wisconsin homeowners inviting them to attend sales presentations at various locations. Stitt misrepresented to consumers that installing the product in their attic could cut their utility bills by up to one-third, and that ProGuard AB was used by NASA in the Space Shuttle. In reality, ProGuard AB is a thin, foil insulation product less than one-eighth of an inch thick, with an R-value of less than one.
At least 41 Wisconsin homeowners purchased ProGuard AB from Stitt and ES Technology, 12 of whom filed complaints with the state. The judgment requires Stitt and ES Technology to pay $100,000 for consumer restitution, $108,693.50 for forfeitures, and $6,867.35 to reimburse the state for the costs of investigation and prosecution. The complaint and judgment can be viewed at the following links:
"Wisconsin will not tolerate fraudulent sales practices, which are particularly reprehensible when seniors are targeted, as they were here," Attorney General Van Hollen said. "My office will continue to take strong action against the perpetrators of scams such as this one."
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) investigated this matter, and referred it to the Department of Justice for prosecution. The state was represented by Assistant Attorney General John Greene.

When I'm working out regularly, I like to self-tan, even through the fall and winter. It makes me feel like my results are more obvious when I have a little color to my skin, because a tan gives the illusion that you've dropped at least 5 lbs from your frame.
Though I hate the smell, waiting for it to dry and feeling sticky...I caved and broke out my Ulta Airbrush self tanner, which I followed by using L'oreal Sublime Bronze Gel (I like to layer formulas.)
Tomorrow, I'll wake up to lightly bronzed skin (yay!)
Now, what I really want to focus on in this post is self-tanning the face. The face can be tricky...go too dark, and it will be horribly obvious...go too light, and you won't notice a wash of color at all.
I was able to blend right into my hairline, ears and neck with ease and it distributed the color evenly. I just thought I'd share this technique because it really makes using an airbrush product easier (I hate spraying it directly onto my face- I never feel like it gives an even application because my eyes are closed, and breathing the fumes in is quite awful.)
So yeah, that's what I did tonight. I'm sitting here on my laptop, on our couch, and I can still smell it! It's like the self-tanning smell never dies. UGH!
Do you self tan in the fall and winter, or is it part of your summer routine only? I guess because I live in Texas, I like to have a light tan even through the winter.
Let me know in the comments below!

Long Day's Journey into Night (Embassy) Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night is the full statement of the early autobiography that he had disguised and used partially in several plays. Beyond the Horizon (1918) is about two brothers, one of whom is tubercular; the doomed couple in All God's Chillun Got Wings (1923) have his parents' first names; other plays contain further references and derivations.
In a recent radio interview, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller was being pressed to explain why he refused to call a special session of the legislature to consider revision of the state's inequitable system of apportionment. As the relentless questioners poked pins into the various defenses of Rockefeller, the Governor finally turned on his assailants. "But what would be your basis for apportionment?" he asked.
Pale Fire By Vladimir Nabokov (Putnam, $5) Pale Fire is a Jack-in-the-box, a Faberge gem, a clockwork toy, a chess problem, an infernal machine, a trap to catch reviewers, a cat-and-mouse game, a do-it-yourself novel. It consists of a 999-line poem of four cantos in heroic couplets together with an editor's preface, notes, index, and proof-corrections.
Ship of Foolsby Katherine Anne Porter(Atlantic-Little, Brown; $6.50) Katherine Anne Porter has published her first novel at the age of 72, and since she spent 20 years on it, we must assume it will be her only novel. She forecast the book in 1940 in the preface to the Modern Library edition of Flowering Judas: [These stories] are fragments of a much larger plan I am still engaged in carrying out.
Gray, ranging from the pearliest shade to the edge of black, is the tonality of Ingmar Bergman's new film Through a Glass Darkly. A bare, ruined choir of an island in the Baltic; a few stone cottages; a few trees; an old hulk of a fishing boat; marsh and naked field. The light and the milieu are cleansed to the point of abstraction, like simplistic modern architecture. On this small island is the summer home of a novelist, whom we see with his adolescent son, his married daughter, and her doctor-husband.
Michelangelo Antonioni's new film The Night is so perfectly congruent with our concerns, so piercingly honest, that it is close to a personal experience. Such an acutely subjective reaction is not always the purpose of art, but it is his purpose and he achieved it.The story is spare. In Milan live Giovanni and Lidia, a novelist and his wife, childless, in their thirties, married some years, affectionate with each other but no longer in love.
The Immediate Experienceby Robert Warshow(Doubleday; $4.50) Robert Warshow died in 1955, aged 37, taking with him a serious mind and a valuable disrespect for acceptances. A number of his essays and reviews, mostly from Commentary and Partisan Review, have now been published under the title The Immediate Experience, and the collection underscores the pathos of his early death. Warshow was one of the best of a school of literary, theater, and film critics that has risen in this country since the thirties.

Young artists learned to view a one dimensional tracing in a new way Monday as the Surry Arts Council again offered its Young At Art classes in its offices beside the Andy Griffith Playhouse.
The first project Monday tasked participants to take the standard tracing of their hands and loop lines over the hand print to make the drawing appear three dimensional.
Instructor Kayla Ellis, a 18-year veteran of teaching arts in North Carolina, said the youth program grew out of fall art classes offered by the council.
"Years ago (Arts Council Executive Director) Tanya Jones asked me to teach a monthly arts class and after that I became involved with the two-week Arts Alive camp. This evolved from there," said Ellis. "There was interest in this and I thought something more intense would supplement arts education for many of these children who sometime get one, 45-minute arts class a week in school."
Ellis said the spin she has put on a traditional arts project, tracing a hand, was designed to get them to develop perspective from the two-dimensional to something more.
"I'm having them create an illusion of their traditional hand outlines being three dimensional," said Ellis. "I'm trying to get them to make a subtle shift in their minds to give it a 3-D effect."
She said other projects this week will include making a rainstick, a fabric bowl, a paper mache' bowl and painting sand dollars in the style of Australian dream paintings. The rainsticks will be made out of tubes which were once wrapped with fabric or gift paper.
At one point in Monday's class, Ellis invited participants to stop working on their projects as she explained how nails pressed into holes in the cardboard tubes would simulate the sound of rainfall as dried rice falls across them.
"I want you to know if nails are too hard to push into the holes, I have another plan," said Ellis. She demonstrated how to use the outside of the tube to make an aluminum foil spiral which could be placed inside the tubes. She compared it to Leonardo Da Vinci's spiral staircase. Ellis takes pride in being frugal with the program and linking class projects to materials donated to the council.
The class ended with participants gathering around as Ellis read the story "Tar Beach" written by artist Faith Ringold, who is known for incorporating fabric scraps with writing on them into storytelling paintings. Tar Beach is told from the perspective of 8-year-old Cassie Louise Lightfoot, who imagines she can fly.
Lightfoot lives in New York City. She likens the blackened tar rooftop where family and friends gather to play cards to a beach where they fall asleep watching the stars and the George Washington Bridge. She claims if you fly over a building it belongs to you and she imagines flying over an ice cream factory so they can have ice cream every day. She also dreams of flying over enough buildings to keep her construction worker father from worrying about finding his next job.
"I want you to know today is the least fun day we will have," Ellis continued. "Every day you come this week (after this) it's gonna get messier. We will even use wet, gooey newspaper on the outside of our rainsticks."

Xaxac Brigadon & Knights of Order Ch. 05byCandiCame©
Turns out that I couldn't take a hit after all. The back of my throat was so sore from everyone slamming into it that when I tried, the pain was to much to bear, and I was afraid that if I didn't inhale all the way down my throat, I would be wasting it. My master seemed worried and anxious and kept looking me over. When he saw that the hit had made me cough, he pulled me close to him in an embrace.
"More blood," he pulled the hand that he had seen me cover my face with, "I'm not doing this again."
I know that I must've looked confused and pathetic. Apparently, one of my eyes was blackened, there were scrapes, bruises, carpet-burns- there was nowhere on my flesh that kept the beauty he had bragged about. I usually felt proud after a job like that, but there was something about him that made me want to comfort him. I didn't know exactly what I had done wrong, but I could count a million little things, things that I had forgotten in the heat of the moment...
I wanted more opium. Tried to take another hit, and coughed it up again, with more blood. My throat was raw. It was pissing me off.
"Xac, stop!" my master took the tube from me, "you can't keep it down, you're only hurting yourself. Here, let me up, I want to find you something to wear that it won't matter for us to cover in blood. I need to take you to a bathhouse."
Most of my patrons were filing out, talking amongst themselves; a few of them were looking at me while they did. Something about the urgency in my master's voice made me want to break contact with them- something was hitting me wrong. Satre, I know now, is a den of debauchery; and I wasn't, by far, the only or best sex slave available that night. Some of those guys were probably going to move from one smoke filled room to the next, some of them had never been to such a place before. The blond- the only one that I had liked, was already gone.
"Try not to get blood on those boots," my master was addressing me again, as he came back with a robe, and threw it at me, "Here, put this on."
As I did, I noticed that he was gathering up the clothes that I had stripped, and was putting them in my bag. That was weird... I was always the one to clean up. Why would he do that?
It still hurt to sit down when we got into the carriage, but I was looking forward to the bathhouse. I'd never been inside one before, but I loved baths, and I knew that one would feel really good, especially if we could get it heated on my sore muscles, and my aching body. I was also ravenously hungry and hoped that we would eat soon. Whenever my body starts to heal, I get really hungry. And there were so many foods being cooked as we drove down the never-ending carnival; cakes, weird meats, exotic fruits and vegetables, cookies and pastries- everything looked and smelled delicious!
The building that we stopped at resembled a hotel more then a bathhouse. As I reached for my bag to hop down, my master took it in his hand before I could put it on my back. I thought it was strange, but I didn't question him. He may have thought that the blood would seep through, but I had a suspicion that he didn't want to put anything else on the cut down my back.
He spoke to the lady behind the desk who glared at me.
"One of the cage fighters?" she asked, glaring at my eye.
"Something like that," my master replied, though she kept staring at me. She turned to address him and I noticed the brand on the back of her neck- it was like mine, but a little different. The same placement but a different seal. She had a slave brand. I ran my fingers down mine, the scarification calmed me.
After a little conversation, she handed my master a block with a number on it, and we went farther inside, through a long hall lined with doors. The place was suffocatingly warm, and the humidity made my hair drip before we got close to where we were going. The doors slid sideways, and I'm glad that my master opened it because I never would have figure that out and would have probably broken it. I really liked the room. The whole building was made of wood, but it was different then what I was used to; they were little spiral shoots that honestly made me want to chew on them. In the middle, set into the floor, was a pool- not a tub over a flame like I was used to.
I threw the robe down and unlaced my boots- because my master didn't correct me, I assumed it was alright. There were benches on either side, and I noticed he slid our bags under them and folded his clothes up on top, I went to move my things over there when he stopped me.
"Goddamn it Xac," he actually sounded angry for the first time that night, "Those are leather! You couldn't have washed your fucking hands first?"
He had told me not to touch them. Motherfuck.
"I am so sorry master!" I know that I started to cry; I had been uneasy and on the verge of it since the clients left, and I was trying not to break down, "You had just told me... I have no excuse."
"God," he softened, "Listen to you, you can't even talk- you sound horrible. Get in the fucking tub." He took the boots from me and looked them over, "It was dried anyway... It's... not that bad. Get in the tub."
I really thought that he was going to hit me. He was acting so strange tonight. But I was really happy to get into the water- even though I yelped. It was hot, really hot, far hotter then I kept them at home. And there was something in the water (looking back now I know that it was healing herbs) that made my wounds sting even worse then before. We were the only ones in that room, but the door stood open, which I've learned since is a command for servants to enter.
I went underwater and soaked my hair, opened my eyes and tried to kind of flush the one that had gone black on me. One of the walls was a mirror (I know! Like, the whole wall!) so I could see just how bad I looked and I could see why my master was embarrassed for me. My eye had swollen, and my entire face was covered in bruises. There was a trail across my back, scrapes, bruises, and the one long cut that went from left shoulder down to about the middle of my back that kept ripping back open. My wrists, I had already seen, were almost raw, and the water felt so good on them! My ass was still gaping enough that I could feel the water enter me, which actually felt better then it sounds like it would. I wanted to scrub my eye as hard as I could, but my reflexes wouldn't let me, and I decided to let it heal a little more first.
When I came up, my master had seated himself on the bench with our clothes and was staring at me. I blushed.
"You're already healing," was all he said, but kept his eyes on me.
I looked at the bottles that had been neatly stacked along one wall of the pool. I didn't know what they said, but by the pictures and smells I could tell which ones I really wanted to use; I picked a light blue one with a picture of a sunset on a beach, with seashells and waves- I had never been to a beach, but I loved the way it smelled, salty and musky, deep and enchanting, not like the floral stuff I normally wore, and lathered my hair and face with it before I went under again.
There was no blood from my ass or my back anymore, and I smiled when I came up. My eye felt far better now that I was able to clean it properly. I was beginning to get some kind of vision back in it, as though I was permanently squinting. The heat was beginning to make my head dizzy, but I loved it. I laid down on the surface for a few seconds before I went back to lather up the rest of my body. I love bathing, still do, and took great care with my body.
My master never moved his eyes the entire time. He had told me that he loved watching me heal. Watching the bruises disappear and the cuts knot themselves back together. I looked at my wrists and noticed the color returning to them. I was feeling much better.
"Xac," my master called me and I turned around. A servant had arrived with a tray full of food! He was eating some kind of small roasted bird, but there were also cakes, pastries, fruits, salads, and some kind of tea that I had never seen before. I was so thirsty and my throat, though it was healing, still hurt so badly that I reached for the tea first.
"How do you take your coffee?" the pool-boy asked and I stared at him, dumbfounded.
"He likes things sweet," my master laughed under his breath, "six or seven sugars. Enough to rot the teeth out of a normal man, "lots of creme"
I had never seen a creature like the servant before. He seemed a crossbreed- he had the upper body of a human, though he was short, like a dwarf, but he had hooves and fur that seemed to extend from the waist down. I didn't know if he were wearing some strange kind of pants, because he had an apron on that would cover his cock if he weren't, but I didn't want to say anything about it. He looked young, had one of those beards that only older teens can carry off, and seemed to be stoned out of his mind on something. Every time he spoke it was melodic. I wanted whatever it was that he was having.
I didn't even get out of the tub, he handed me my coffee, then placed a tray with the salad, fruit/yogurt thing, pastries that had fruit in the middle and frosting on the top, and cakes on the water! It floated close to me and I laughed. I took a drink of the tea- coffee- it was the sweetest tea I had ever tasted! The pool-boy was apparently watching me, because as soon as I had downed it, he handed me another cup.
"Slow down, Xac," my master laughed, then turned his attention to the servant and spoke to him about... I don't know, something while I stuffed my face. I love greens so I don't use dressing or anything, and the salad was delicious... strange though. Some of the plants I had never tasted before, but I was starving, so even if it hadn't been good, which it was, I would have devoured it.
By the time I was finished with the first course, I could see again. The fruit & yogurt, which the servant called a parfait, didn't hurt to swallow. By the time I had finished eating, I was healed enough that you couldn't tell I had been thorough anything. The servant asked my master- I know because even though I wasn't paying attention, when someone says, "Xac" or "Xaxac" I can't help but tune in. The servant asked if I was a lapin- got it right! He said that he had been to the games before and loved the festival; my master said that he was sure it was lovely but had never been. He asked if I was a slave and my master told him that I was- though I know my hair wasn't long enough to cover the mark; at that point I got really interested and turned around. The way they were standing, the servant had his back to me and I noticed two things.
Firstly, he wasn't wearing any pants, and his cock was HUGE. It hung down far enough to reach nearly to his knees without being erect at all. He had a pair of low hangers that were still almost covered by his long fur. The second thing was that he had no mark on his neck- he just worked there, he wasn't a slave. These realizations both made me think- I found him a very odd little creature. It was like someone had pasted two different animals together, a human and a goat or deer. I didn't want him to notice that I was staring at him, so I went back to eating.
He also had a tattoo of a goat's head on his bicep. Didn't have anything to do with anything other then that I really like tattoos. I didn't worry myself with what they were talking about, but finished eating, drank my last cup and settled down into the hot water.
I closed my eyes to relax.
