Ashes 2013: Ruthless England sparked by Ian Bell's dominance
And so what began with such thrill and commotion in the Trent Bridge sunshine six weeks ago ended with a farcical finale in The Oval's autumnal evening light.
That rollercoaster first Test apart, this has been an Ashes series lit up by irregular explosions of great drama rather than relentless theatre: Friday afternoon at Lord's, the final lunchtime in Manchester, Sunday evenings in Durham and south London. In that, it reflects the intrinsic nature of much Test cricket. The delights, when they come, are all the more dramatic for the necessary grind on either side.
In Ian Bell we have seen an England batsman who dominated with delicate touch throughout. Australia paceman Ryan Harris threatened in every one of the four Tests he played after missing the first.
Test Match Special analysis
"This was always going to happen. Don't blame the umpires or the players... blame the ICC. It's an absolute disgrace. An absolute shambles. The final day of the Ashes has ended in a farce. Let's hope that finally those people in Dubai who run the game realise what a mess this is. It's NOT the umpires' fault."
The other outstanding performers, much like the overall narrative, have sparkled more sporadically - England's James Anderson with 10 wickets in Nottingham and then just seven more across the next six innings; Australia captain Michael Clarke, that brilliant 187 at Old Trafford but just 194 more runs at an average of 21 in his other nine knocks; Stuart Broad, 11 match-winning wickets for the hosts in the fourth Test after taking just nine in the previous 11 Ashes innings at 60 apiece.
While it ends with a scoreline that speaks of dominance, it has also frequently felt much tighter than a 3-0 should. Only 14 runs separated the two sides in Nottingham. The weather aided England when they lost both toss and control at Old Trafford and The Oval.
England emerged triumphant not because they turned out to be the superior team at all times in all departments, but because they were capable, in those decisive sessions, of reducing Australia to rapid rubble.
There is a great skill in turning the taking of one or two wickets into a full-scale rout, as Alastair Cook's men did in the critical passages of play. It takes a masterful bowler in relentless mood, a communal belief borne of previous triumphs, a ruthlessness when chances are offered.
Australia, when they worked their own openings, could only graze chins rather than deliver knockout punches.
Four times they took first-innings leads. Not once did they allow the opposition to pass 400. Despite that, they came within a laughable bad-light ruling of losing four in five.
Even in each of England's wins, they had a crowbar in the safe: at Trent Bridge, with the hosts four down in their second innings and just 66 runs ahead; on the first morning at Lord's, with England teetering at 23-3; at Durham, when England lost their third second-innings wicket with the lead at just 17.
On each occasion it was Bell who first rode the punches and then inexorably forced the tourists onto the ropes. No more can he be derided for that perceived inability to score big runs under immense pressure.
He made 109 in six-and-a-half intent hours on that low, slow Trent Bridge track, the same score in five hours at Lord's and 113 off 210 endlessly patient balls to set up the win at Chester-le-Street.
In 16 innings at home to Australia before this series he averaged 21. He ended the summer with 562 at 62, equalling the English record for a five-match home Ashes set by Denis Compton in 1948. Transformations have seldom been so spectacular or significant.
The tourists had a pace attack that could sometimes match England's. Where they were crucially outgunned was when the ball turned, as if often did on pitches made to exploit that predicted discrepancy.
As England opened up a decisive 2-0 lead in the first two Tests, off-spinner Graeme Swann took 13 scalps. His opposite number, teenage debutant Ashton Agar, managed just two despite his heroics with bat in hand at the start of it all. By the time Nathan Lyon had been recalled to narrow the margins, the damage had been done.
Swann would finish with 26 wickets, the most for England in an Ashes series since Ian Botham's 31 in 1985. Only Jim Laker among English spinners has taken more in an Ashes summer.
Bell apart, England's top order did not accumulate as they had in the preceding Ashes series, frequently shackled by good plans well set. Neither did an Australian line-up that only began to settle once the series was already lost.
It led some to bemoan the quality of the action on offer. This has neither the exceptional combatants of 2005 nor the close-matched drama of 2009, went the argument. Will this series therefore be remembered as fondly as the last two English Ashes wins on home soil?
To which context is everything. The circumstances that surrounded the series of 2005, as well as the way it was won, can never again be matched. England were not coming into these Ashes off 16 years of humiliating defeat; Australia did not arrive loaded with all-time greats. To compare any subsequent series to those extraordinary two months is to invite disappointment.
Even in 2009, England began as subordinates, whitewashed in the preceding series, dismissed for 51 by the West Indies a few months earlier, the leadership team of captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower new to the job and still trying to build fresh foundations from the wreckage of the Kevin Pietersen-Peter Moores regime.
Top scorers and wicket-takers
Leading run-scorers
562 Ian Bell (Eng) - average 62.44
418 Shane Watson (Aus) - average 41.80
388 Kevin Pietersen (Eng) - average 38.80
381 Michael Clarke (Aus) - average 47.62
367 Chris Rogers (Aus) - average 40.77
Leading wicket-takers
26 Graeme Swann (Eng) - average 29.03
24 Ryan Harris (Aus) - average 19.58
22 Stuart Broad (Eng) - average 27.45
22 James Anderson (Eng) - average 29.59
17 Peter Siddle (Aus) - average 31.58
Both then and four years earlier, overall victory was not assured until the final few hours of the last Test. In the comfort of this summer's margins - the urn secured with two matches still to come, the series won after one more - such cliffhanging ecstasies were lost.
It should not matter. England have now won three Ashes series in succession. Australia have failed to win a single Test in one for the first time in 36 years. In Cook's first 12 months of captaincy, he has won three series in four and not lost a Test in 12.
Not since David Gower's defining summer in 1985 have England won three Tests in a home Ashes series; after years of Antipodean ascendency, they have now levelled the overall Ashes balance at 31 series wins apiece.
These are reasons for praise and celebration. Whether such happy numbers will lead to similarly sunny times ahead will take longer to divine.
That Oval triumph in September 2005 will remain unmatched for its national impact and elation, yet it was a peak for that team that would not be scaled again. The XI that had taken the series lead at Trent Bridge would never play together again; a few months later, the survivors would lose in Pakistan and begin the slow slide that ended with capitulation in their next Ashes engagement.
August 2009 went the other way, signalling the birth of a new team under Flower and Strauss, the Oval marking Jonathan Trott's debut and the cricketing coming of age of Swann and Stuart Broad.
Over the next two years they would go unbeaten in series home and away, secure an unprecedented three innings victories in the Ashes down under, whitewash India at home and stand, albeit briefly, on top of the world.
This vintage of 2013 is somewhere in between, the hard core of 2009 yet to be fully buttressed by new additions and with cracks in the facade rather than any fatal fissures.
They were better than Australia this summer when it mattered most, and they deserved to come out on top. The winter ahead may prove both tighter and more testing.

I think the point of both those stories is to confess his own cowardice and raise a laugh. You'll find the same frankness in Tufnell's autobiography.
Not sure what it says about either as people. You may think you're big and hard, but you're not a 1980s tailender without protective gear or batting talent and technique facing some of the fastest, most brutal bowling ever seen.

all you need to know about Jonathan Agnew in two short stories:
1. Hid in a cupboard (yes, you read it right, a grown man HID IN A CUPBOARD) rather than come out and face a notoriously fast bowler as night watchman.
2. Gave HIMSELF out when there was clearly no edge, rather than face another bouncer against a notoriously fast bowler.
Comment number 137. Posted by whitehart1980on 28 Aug 2013 16:52
I would have thought so too, but in actual fact it does. I've recently played with a white ball for the first time EVER in my cricketing life, and trust me it moves differently. Also, I'm only facing snail-like pace and mediocre spin
@135 - I totally agree, Agnew is the very model of the type of Englishman who is happy to lose, as long as everyone has a slice of cake and a pat on the back
Comment number 136. Posted by laceysdadon 28 Aug 2013 16:19
@124 Not good enough! Either play with a white ball or have better lights. I can't believe dying the leather white rather than red can have such an impact on the ball's behaviour.
Comment number 135. Posted by Fat Centreon 28 Aug 2013 12:36
Jonathan Agnew really does need to be careful - his now obvious smear campaign against the England team is ridiculous and instead of offering a neutral coverage of events - he's bordering on bile. I don't want my licence money wasted on paying a man who is juts going to rant and disassemble a WINNING team. It would just suit JA's plucky middle nature to have a team of losers again. Stop this BBC.

If trott and cook had batted more aggressively they would have won in plenty of time but in the first ten overs they played too safe
I think the Aussies were very good to make a game of the last afternoon they didn't have to

"The only way for Australia is up."
No. It can get worse for them.
They could become the new Zimbabwe or Bangladesh. Always aspiring but never achieving.

Bell batted beautifully and it may seem crazy to give a criticism,,but,,,,Graham Gooch is big on stressing batsman have to make "Daddy Hundrads" (150 +). It's the one thing Bell does not do,,it's usually all under 115 or there abouts,,,just a point that to be great he has to push on from those scores,,

Michael Clarke is a disgrace. If you didn't want to lose the game, then don't declare at tea. I was there and found it so infuriating that the game was called off with only 21 required.

@ Benson Button better than watching that drivel you call F1

@116 "The problem for Eng is the only way for Aus is up"
The problem for Aus is we won this 3-0 (and could have won 4-0) and, Bell aside, our top seven were all out of nick! If just one or two others had had good series Botham might have been right with his 5-0...
Aus's problem is Eng are unlikely to bat as bad as this collectively again, so Aus need to improve just to stand still...

Why are the floodlights good enough for a day-night 50 over match but not good enough to play test cricket in the twilight?

Yes why don't we? i would think cricket should be the priority.

#117 Daniel
Ah, so that is why the last day of The Oval test match was sold out last December. Because there is no interest in test cricket any longer.
I have no problem with T20 cricket, it can be quite good to watch for a while. But the 5 day game is & always will be the true test of players skills.
Comment number 120. Posted by Addisons_a_monsteron 26 Aug 2013 20:08
116.. given that both sides play 4 bowlers... you would expect the top 6 wicket takers to involve 3 of each side.. simple sums okay? Run rate - this is test match cricket, Australia's problem is that all the batsmen try and score quickly but get out quickly too...
Is it not worrying that our top order barely made 50's between them but still Australia were drubbed 3 - 0.

You can dip just about anything in peanut butter, but bananas are the way to go when it comes to fueling up for a workout. They're rich in potassium, an essential mineral that is frequently lost in large amounts while breaking a sweat. One hour before a tough gym session, smear a tablespoon of your favorite protein-packed, all-natural spread onto the carbo-loaded fruit for the fuel your muscle tissue and nervous system need, says Christine Avanti, author of Skinny Chicks Eat Real Food. The protein-carb, or PC-combo, offers a healthful balance of lean protein and fiber to stabilize blood sugar, thus curbing any nasty sweets cravings later.
With natural electrolytes and less than half the sugar of store-bought sports drinks, this beverage has earned itself the title of "nature's Gatorade," says Amy Shapiro, M.S., R.D., founder of Real Nutrition NYC. The nutty drink is an easily-digestible carbohydrate that gives your body the immediate energy it needs for the workout ahead. It's also rich in potassium, which helps reduce the risk of pesky, disruptive cramps. Drink it straight, add a splash to any smoothie or soup, or use it to steam some veggies, recommends Shapiro.

CHICAGO --- Cumberland High cross country star Trevor Crawley added another accolade to his accomplishments on Thursday with his selection as the 2012-13 Gatorade Rhode Island Boys' Cross Country Runner of the Year.
The award not only recognizes outstanding athletic excellent, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the race course.
Crawley, a senior, raced to the All-State Meet's individual state championship this past season in a time of 15:39.47 that helped the Clippers earn a fifth-place finish in the team standings and Crawley repeat as a First-Team All-State selection by the Rhode Island Track Coaches Association.
Crawley, who before that meet, won the Class A individual title in 15:52.20, went on to take second place at the New England Championships in a 16:14.21 time, sixth at the Foot Locker Northeast Regional Championships in 15:47.3, and 38th at the Foot Locker National Championships.
Also a talented distance runner on the Clippers' indoor and outdoor track and field teams, Crawley has maintained a B average in the classroom. In addition to participating in the National Guard's youth leadership program, Crawley has volunteered on behalf of the town's recreation department as a youth track and soccer instructor.
He remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
"Trevor is a very dedicated, internally motivated young man," reported Cumberland head coach Tom Kenwood. "He wants to win and pushes himself each and every day in practice and races. He is goal-oriented and sets high standards for himself, and so far, he has attained his goals."
Crawley joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Kevin Garnett, Derek Jeter, Candace Parker, and another running standout, Ryan Hall. He is also a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys' Runner of the Year award to be announced later this month.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF THE DAY TO TAKE GREENS PLUS?Greens Plus is best taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or right before lunch. WHAT DOES GREENS PLUS GIVE ME THAT REGULAR FOODS DO NOT?The superfoods in Greens Plus possess 4 qualities that distinguish them from common foods. They are 100% natural, nutrient-dense, deliver a high ORAC factor, and provide many unique health benefits. Not only are all superfoods 100% natural, but many are organically-grown. Contrary to cartoons and comic books, if food is chemically-created in a lab it is much closer to being junk food than super. Mother Nature is the ultimate laboratory, and recent studies prove that organically-grown whole foods are more nutritious as well as healthier for you and the environment. Nutrient-density, or a high nutrient-to-calorie ratio, is a good indicator of food's overall health benefits. While Superfoods can be high in calories, they are always accompanied by rich concentrations of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants with a high ORAC Factor. Total ORAC, or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is the standard testing method used to measure antioxidant-rich foods, and higher numbers have a greater capacity to neutralize free radicals. Superfoods like wheat and barley grass, spirulina, red apple and dark chocolate all have high-ORAC ratings and many antioxidants associated with unique health benefits.

The Greens Plus Story Greens Plus was formulated in 1990 by Sam Graci after five years of research into the health-giving benefits of the worlds most nutritious superfoods. As an adolescent psychologist in the late seventies, Sam worked with Down Syndrome children, kids diagnosed with ADD, and problematic teenagers in the Canadian Educational System. Having a keen interest in nutrition, and knowing intuitively the importance of food upon the health of individuals, Sam observed the diets of children and began experimenting with vitamin/mineral and whole food supplementation. Immediate improvements in the children's energy levels, attention spans, mental acuity and overall sense of well being were observed. Realizing the full potential of whole food concentrates and their superiority over synthetic vitamins and minerals, Sam was inspired to formulate Greens Plus by his sister-in-law Lani Deauville. Vice-President of Orange Peel Enterprises, Inc., Lani injured her 4th, 5th, and 6th cervical vertebrae in a diving accident in 1958. At the age of seventeen, she was diagnosed with quadriplegia and given five years to live. Determined then to beat the odds, Lani went on to continue her education, teach psychology and help others with disabilities. Due to her severe injury however, she suffered many years with poor health, a weakened immune system and an uncertain life expectancy. In 1985, Sam prepared a green drink for Lani. She gave him suggestions for making it tastier, but the response of her immune system became his primary focus. After five years of trial and error, Sam perfected the Greens Plus formula and Lani now enjoys a life full of energy and good health. In 1991, Lani and her husband Jude, began distributing Greens Plus, first to their family and friends, and later to health food stores, health care professionals, national pharmacies and overseas to nineteen countries worldwide. Over the last five years, Greens Plus has accumulated 9 international awards for product quality, integrity and effectiveness. Orange Peel Enterprises, Inc. is the formulator, manufacturer and direct distributor of: Greens Plus Protein Greens Plus Resveratrol Plus Paws Plus Greens Plus Energy Bar Thermo Greens Plus Greens Plus Protein Bar Omega3 CHIA What is the Power of Plus? Full Spectrum Health Benefits The meticulously-selected, 100% Natural and Organic Ingredients in Greens Plus combine to support Whole Body Detoxification, Immune Function, Healthy Aging, Energy Levels and Alkalinity. A Synergy of Nutrient-rich Superfoods Greens Plus was the first multiple ingredient, whole food powder to combine premium quality Land and Sea Vegetables, Standardized Herbal extracts, High-ORAC Superfruits and Dairy-free Probiotics into one complete formula. Delivers Essential Nutrients from All 6 Food Groups Created 20 years before publication of the new USDA My Plate, Greens Plus pioneered the Healthy Diet concept. One serving delivers the nutrient equivalent of 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables in their most concentrated forms, just as nature intended them to be. Nutrient Equivalency per Serving Perfect for people always on the go, Greens Plus contains more powerful nutrients than many pounds of fresh produce. Greens Plus is convenient, easy-to-use, and affordable for the whole family. Provides Every Color in the Dietary Food Spectrum To prevent disease, scientists recommend consuming a minimum of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables from a wide variety of colors. From apples to wheat grass, and microalgae to grapes, Greens Plus delivers food groups of every vibrant color and is the only Full Spectrum Nutritional Superfood available today. Total ORAC per 100g With a total of 234,500 ORAC units per 100 grams, Greens Plus delivers nearly 20 times the value of elderberries and dark chocolate, two of the top-rated antioxidant-rich foods measured by the USDA's Nutrient Data Laboratory. Maximum Nutrient Absorption Soy Lecithin has been thoroughly researched and proven to enhance absorption of green tea flavanoids and other important nutrients. Lecithin in Greens Plus allows fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, minerals and color-coded phytonutrients to be encapsulated in a liposome, resulting in an accelerated rate of absorption.

Product Details
Kontrol Pro Coilover Kit with 0.5"-2.5" Front and Rear Body Drop (CSB150-KP) by KSport®. Spring Rate: 487 lb/in (Front), 487 lb/in (Rear). With Front Camber Plates, Without Rear Camber Plates. This is a set of 4 coilovers designed with sophisticated adaptability to offer performance during street racing and a comfortable ride over poor road surfaces. Lower mounts allow ride height drops without compromising suspension travel, and 36 levels of damping make it easy to simultaneously adjust compression and rebound rates to suit your driving style. Patented upper mounts allow easy adjustment of camber without the need for spacer kits, and monotube shock design prevents fluid aeration and improves handling under all conditions. Mounts and other coilover pieces are crafted from aircraft grade aluminum for light weight and freedom from corrosion. Heavy gauge steel shock absorber bodies are electroplated with zinc to resist corrosion.
- Set of 4 coilovers designed with both road racing and comfortable street driving in mind
- Lower mounts allow ride height drops without compromising suspension travel
- 36 levels of damping allow a wealth of choices to adjust both compression and rebound rates simultaneously
- Patented upper "pillowball" mounts allow easy adjustment of camber without the need for spacer kits
- Kontrol Pro pillowball bearings come with a rubberized coating over the metal
- Monotube design of shock absorber element prevents fluid aeration and improves handling under all conditions
- Mounts and other coilover pieces are crafted from aircraft grade aluminum for light weight and freedom from corrosion
- Heavy gauge steel shock absorber bodies are electroplated with zinc to resist corrosion
- Bump stop is integrated with a protective dust boot to protect shock absorber body outer seals
- 18-month manufacturer warranty
KSport offers Kontrol coilovers designed with both professional road racing and comfortable street driving in mind – two characteristics that are often mutually exclusive on coilovers. First, adjustable lower mounts allow height adjustability at a point which does not compromise suspension travel. So it's easy to cruise potholed streets at a lowered ride height without you, your suspension components, or sensitive vehicle electronics taking a pounding. Second, 36 levels of dampening adjustment allow a wealth of choices to adjust both compression and rebound rates simultaneously. Dial in the amount of firmness you need for hard cornering when you're alone, or select more give when you're loaded down with a carful of friends and gear on a beach trip. Third, KSport coilovers for McPherson strut applications feature an advanced upper pillow ball mount at the top. This mount gives you the rare ability to loosen and slide the top of your strut to adjust wheel camber – without requiring a separate spacer kit the way some coilovers do.
KSport coilovers help you avoid the headaches that come when rebound settings, camber, and caster cannot be properly adjusted after ride height is lowered. So if you're expecting an unnecessarily harsh ride, a reduced tire contact patch on the road, compromised grip, and the costly expense of accelerated tire wear – Ksport coilovers will disappoint you. Because KSport knows if your wheels are hopping because compression rates aren't set correctly for the driving you're doing, you simply are not getting the full benefits adjustable coilovers offer.
Mono-tube shock absorber elements feature hydraulic oil and nitrogen in separate chambers separated by a floating piston. Because there's no aerating of fluid within the shock body, there is no wasted time adapting to irregular surfaces – a factor that creates optimum performance at any time. Mounts and most other components on the coilover are crafted from aircraft grade aluminum, giving them freedom from corrosion and extremely light weight. Heavy gauge steel shock absorber bodies are electroplated with zinc to resist corrosion. KSport proudly backs all coilover components against failure due to manufacturing defects for a period of 18 months.945.00Brand: KSport Part Number: CSB150-KP

The 2006-07 diving season has begun for high schoolers across the state. And for the Carbon High team it will be another interesting year.
Going to their first meet the Carbon team traveled to Bear River High in Tremonton this past week.
Because it was the first meet of the year, many of the divers from all the competing schools were a bit tentative and it showed.
In Carbon's case, many on the team are learning new dives and are working out the bugs in their routines as they compete.
A bright spot on the squad saw Travis Hobbs placed second overall, just two points out of first.
The Dinos took third as a team.
The squad will visit Park City on Nov. 9 for their next challenge.
Before then there will be a lot of practicing at the Price pool to fine tune the dives of the team.

Well I think that (This is for home use) if you want to save yourself a lot of money, you will learn linux. You really want to have to do it. If you'd rather feed Bill, his wife and his kids, then keep on paying for MS products.
I tried to get my neighbour onto Drake 8.0. After a while he just wasn't interested. I think this was because he couldn't be bothered learning something new. Linux is pretty easy IMO if you have the time to sit down and learn, learn learn. So linux has always been ready for the desktop, its just that 90% of the people are too lazy to learn it because MS products already work (Often not too well) for them.

|"Ossë" by Kent Burles
|Biographical Information
|Other names
|Yssion, Gaerys
|Ulmo, formerly Melkor
|Physical Description
|Images of Ossë
Ossë (Q, pron. [ˈosːe]) was a Maia of the Sea associated with Ulmo.
Ossë is a vassal of Ulmo, but he loves the winds and prefers the coasts and isles to the deeps of his master. There is some darkness and violence in his spirit, presumably after his seduction by Melkor, and still enjoys raging in storms despite the will of Ulmo. He is friend to mariners, but they don't trust his wild urges. Only his spouse, Uinen can restrain them.[1]
In the early days of Arda, Ossë turned to Melkor for a time, but Uinen brought him back to the loyalty of Ulmo. However, Ossë's wild and wilful nature was still evident despite remaining loyal to Ulmo.[1]
Ossë was a friend of the Lindar who lingered by the shores of Belegaer on their way to the West. Not wishing to part with his friends, he persuaded some to remain there, at the Falas and the Bay of Balar. These afterwards became known as Falathrim. The mariners respected Ossë as much as the Valar.[2]
After the Valar pronounced the Doom of the Noldor, Ossë helped guard the shores of Beleriand to keep the ships of the Noldor from reaching Valinor. His storms had a part in wrecking all the ships that they sent, and only one Elf from among their crews survived, by the will of Ulmo: Voronwë.[3]
In the Second Age he rose the island of Elenna (Numenor) from the depths of the Sea.[4]
At least two explanations exist for the name Ossë. In The Etymologies, it is understood as the Qenya word osse ("terror"), deriving from the root GOS ("dread").[5] A later note pertaining to the name instead suggests it is a name of non-Elvish origin, deriving from Valarin Oš(o)šai ("spuming, foaming").[6] The same later note mentions that Ossë's Sindarin names were Yssion and Gaerys.[7][6]
In Eriol's Old English translations, Osse is referred to as Saefrea "Sea-ruler".[8] However, this reflects his status as a Vala (Fréa) in the earlier Legendarium.
Other versions of the legendarium
In older versions of The Silmarillion as well as the Annals of Aman, Ossë and his spouse Uinen were Valar in their own right, and often opposed the will of Ulmo.
Osse was also the name of a Tengwa similar to Roman c, which apparently had the value o.[9] However elsewhere, this letter is named Elwe and has the value of e. In the Mode of Beleriand this letter instead has the value a.

You should know compared to people on a global scale our kind has had it relatively easy...
When I first heard the song Relatively Easy on Jason Isbells 2013 album Southeastern, I immediately stowed it away in the space of my brain where I keep my mental flotation/navigation devices those pieces of art that somehow manage to provide a point of orientation in the storm of life.
There are some other things in there: a few more songs, a couple of poems, some short stories, a novel or two and a couple of paintings. Theres not much its a calculus of quality over quantity but the contents seem to do their job, for the most part.
The song came to mind this week as I thought more and more about Typhoon Haiyan and the destruction it visited upon the Philippine Islands. For this disaster, I have no real point of reference: Ive never been to the Philippines, I dont know anyone who lives there, Ive never even been to that part of the world. The closest Ive come to the Philippine Islands are the opening scenes of the movie An Officer and a Gentleman.
And last week when I spoke with a North Country resident trying to maintain connections with her family in Tacloban, the city at the heart of the devastation, I was struck by just how removed from it all I actually was.
Seeing the repeated stories on the news, from the reports of food and water being dropped by helicopters to more sensational stories about those whose job it is to collect the dead now numbering into the thousands it is all too easy to become numb to it all.
There are bills to be paid, errands to be run, bosses to appease, family members to look after and another hundred thousand reasons to ignore whats happening half a world away. And its easy to feel that whatever you do will never be enough to make a difference.
Thats why I keep coming back to Relatively Easy.
The song a slow, acoustic number is introspective without being maudlin.
And Jason Isbell, a singer-songwriter with plenty of demons in his past, does not strike me as a man who is given to over-sentimentalization.
Many of the songs on his new album, the first recorded after he got sober, are deep and dark and deal with characters with few admirable qualities but plenty of humanity.
To my mind, Relatively Easy is primarily about a restless soul settling down and learning to find peace and happiness in the simple things in life. As such, it does not necessarily lend itself to bigger issues of global importance, but two lines in the song touch upon the wider world and it is to those lines I keep coming back.
You should know compared to people on a global scale our kind has had it relatively easy, Mr. Isbell sings early in the song.
And then later, Still compared to those a stones throw away from you, our lives have both been relatively easy.
Those two lines anchor the singer and the listener in a distinct place and time: a relatively privileged locale where life has its struggles but nothing compared to the suffering of people elsewhere in the world, as far away as the Philippine Islands or as near as five blocks away.
On Monday night, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jocelyn Aznar-Beane, a native of northern Cebu in the Philippine Islands and a physician in Carthage. She, along with her medical school classmates, will be traveling to Cebu on Wednesday to spend a week working in a clinic there.
We may be redundant in the whole scheme of things but we will have our uses, Dr. Aznar-Beane said.
And on Saturday morning, I stopped by 817 Bronson St., where some 14 members of the Emmanuel Congregational Church were building a wheelchair ramp for 89-year-old Charmaine Sacchetti, who had a stroke this summer.
Theyre blessing me with a ramp so I can get out of the house once in awhile, Mrs. Sacchetti said.
Indifference is understandable, even forgivable. Its one way to deal with the overwhelming amount of misfortune that is seemingly randomly visited upon the world. Even as rescue and rebuilding efforts are just beginning in the Philippine Islands, deadly tornadoes hit the Midwest and someone broke into a 61-year-old womans house in LeRay. It just doesnt stop.
But engagement is also an option. Donating some money to a charity working in the Philippines, spending some time volunteering somewhere, doing something, anything, is better than nothing.
To ignore, to engage both are relatively easy.
Donations to help with Dr. Aznar-Beanes relief effort can be sent to the Carthage Area Chamber of Commerce, care of Dr. Jocelyn Aznar-Beane, 120 S. Mechanic St., Carthage, N.Y. 13619.

As they do every year because I have a selective service number they told me lol. After again explaining my situation to them, the staff sergeant told me to get that RE4 to a 3 and we can get you in. But if I was prior Marine it would take about 6 months to a year because they aren't taking prior Marines. My request was upgraded to Honorable from General for those that don't remember so I used all of that info to ask for an RE3 as I have proven myself to them for an Honorable. I should find out this information by mid January so lol I don't know, I doubt my request goes through, but I also thought it wouldn't be upgraded as well.

Christmas is coming early this year. On Wednesday, July 31 at the Peace Gardens in Price, for the "Christmas in July - Hillbilly Jam Ice Cream Social and Silent Auction" " sponsored by the United Way and Community Volunteer Center.
Local "celebrities" from the political and media sectors will be on hand serving ice cream and vying for the coveted "Public Servant On the Take" award, which is awarded to the public servant who garners the most "bribes" during the evening. All proceeds from this event will go to the "Warm Kids/Community Angels" project, which helps low-income families during the holidays.
The public is invited to come and beat the heat with a delicious ice cream sundae, enjoy live entertainment, and do some early Christmas shopping at the silent auction. This year's grand prize allows the winner to be a "Celebrity for a Day" - and provides a night at the "Castle Creek Inn" (an authentic Scottish Castle in Sandy); a limousine ride courtesy of "Deano's Limousine" to an invigorating spa treatment at the exclusive "Sanctuary Day Spa" in the ZCMI mall; followed by dinner for two at the "Melting Pot" restaurant in Trolley Square.
Other prizes include a "Summer GetAway" with two tickets to any city that Southwest Airlines flies, and a "Girls Night Out" courtesy of the Sundance Institute. Local politicians and other celebrities will be "on the take" all evening, accepting bribes and taking graft from local citizens.
But people can support their favorite public servant, and make a difference to low-income children at the same time.
The event is Wednesday, July 31 from 7:30 to 9:30 at the Peace Gardens in Price. Tickets are $2 for a single serving, $5 for all-you-can-eat or $15 for families which includes ice cream and entertainment.
Contact the United Way at 637-8911 for more information. Donations for the silent auction are being accepted, and local high school students will be visiting local establishments over the next couple of weeks, to ask for auction items, or support of the ice cream social.

MASSENA - While Mayor James F. Hidy acknowledged that he is only one vote on of a five-member board, he said on Thursday that he is prepared to recommend the village provide the Business Development Corporation with $60,000, the same amount to be provided by the town board for the agencys 2014 budget.
We can broach the idea with the town board, I dont have a problem doing that, he said. I will put it in (his 2014-15 budget proposal,) and it will be up for discussion.
When BDC Board President Daniel S. Pease presented his budget to the town board on Wednesday, it showed a $75,000 contribution from the town and $60,000 from the village. The town did give the BDC an additional $15,000 in funding for next year through a budget transfer that will be made before the close of the current fiscal year.
I think the BDC is going in a direction now thats more economical and job creation driven, Mr. Hidy said. There are some things we can contribute to and some things we cant. The BDC is one we can contribute to and have been.
As for organizations they cant contribute too, but the town can, Mr. Hidy said state law makes it clear the village cannot contribute to the Downtown Revitalization Committee or the Boys & Girl Club.
For downtown revitalization, we, as a village, cannot contribute taxpayer money to that, he said. The same goes for the Boys & Girls Club. As much as we would like to we cant appropriate funds to those programs.
Quoting a binder containing information from the New York Conference of Mayors (NYCOM), Mr. Hidy said, Absent a contract with a private entity to provide a statutorily recognized municipal purpose, the offices of the state comptroller or the attorney general have opined that municipalities may not... make a gift to a boys club.
A different section of that chapter also state, A municipality may not... appropriate funds to assist in preparing property for occupancy by a desirable industry.
People have to understand thats the luxury of gaming compact monies, he said. Those are not taxpayer dollars.
Mr. Hidy said those comments were made in response to conversation at Wednesday evenings town board meeting when Councilman Thomas C. Miller asked how much money the village was contributing to the Downtown Revitalization Committee.
They should be less concerned about what the village is going to do. We will do everything possible to keep positive programs, he said. Too much is being played back and forth. They should take care of the town and well take care of the village.
Mr. Hidy said the bottom line is the village will do whatever they can - within the law.
It all boils down for us to do what is in the best interest for the village residents, he said. Well certainly do whatever we can to promote positive programs, and Im sure the town will too.

Hello friends,
I just wanted to let everyone (who cares) know that I am trying to get back into Quake and more specifically, Wolfcam. I am trying to make some videos, of much higher production quality than those I've made in the past, and for this I also need to work on Wolfcam. The things I will be doing will be a lot like what I did before: collating data and making it easy to access and understand. I'm getting some help from friends this time around, so I won't be releasing some crappy config file with comments. I will be making a Wolfcam-equivalent of the Ultimate Quake Live Console Guide.
Over the next few days, I will be trying to remake my Wolfcam cvarlist, and enter it into a nice, clean database. From there, I will make a frontend, and though it will probably look like crap, it will have all the necessary functionality that you want from an interactive cvarlist.
If I do finish this, I intend to make a FAQ, with answers to questions such as how to make camera paths in Smireboule Camtrace 3D, and using all the external tools and strange techniques that I use, though it is my belief that nobody should really do the things I do. There is always a better way to do it; I just don't know how.
For anyone who is interested, HERE is an offsite demo renderer. You need to make an account to use it, but I assure you, it is a very handy piece of code. Planned features include rendering from and to certain times in the demo (these are limitations in Quake and not the program itself), and the ability to add certain cvars yourself, among others.
Anyway, I've said what I wanted to say. It's time I got back to After Effects so I can learn how to make videos that don't look like crap.

|Miller: UDO Change Would Kill old WHS Sale
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 15 February 2013 06:21
The Watauga County Commission chairman has penned a two-page letter to the Boone Town Council and Mayor over the issue of recommendations adopted Tuesday night by the Boone Planning Board from the Affordable Housing Task Force to amend the Unified Development Ordinance.
Chairman Nathan Miller did so in his role of representing "One of the largest property owners in the town," Watauga County. His letter starts out telling the Town that the ordinance change would have the unintended consequence of increasing housing costs. He goes on to say that the change would kill the sale of the old Watauga High site, that harming both the town and county with a loss of tax revenue, not to mention the $18.9 million sale price. He says the requirements would end student housing development in the town of Boone. His letter concludes with, "the proposed amendment, as currently written, does not accomplish the goal of the town to create affordable housing," and he asked for the town to take up the matter at their February 21st meeting instead of their Tuesday meeting next week to give commissioners an opportunity to attend the meeting. The letter follows:

As one of Germany's smaller cities, Münster is an undiscovered gem for authentic culture and charm unspoiled by tourism. Nestled near the borders of the Netherlands on the edge of German Rhineland, Münster is a lively and energetic city that boasts an interesting history and vibrant metropolitan life. For your next vacation, book flights to Münster and explore the charms of this northern German city.
Best Things to Do in Münster
- Admire the gothic architecture of St. Paulus-Dom Cathedral, which features an astronomical clock developed in the Middle Ages that still works today
- Experience Münster like the locals by taking a bicycle ride around the city. Münster has more bicycles than people and offers several automobile-free areas

Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 1 resumed producing electricity earlier this morning following an unplanned trip of the Unit 1 turbine.
POTTSTOWN, Pa. – Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 1 resumed producing electricity earlier this morning following an unplanned trip of the Unit 1 turbine.
Early Friday morning, workers at Limerick Generating Station were performing testing on plant instrumentation when the Unit 1 turbine tripped offline, automatically shutting down the unit.
The plant is designed to shut down the reactor automatically as a safety precaution when such an event occurs. Limerick operators and maintenance technicians worked around the clock performing numerous tests to identify the cause of the problem associated with the turbine coming offline and to ensure corrective measures were implemented to prevent recurrence.
There was no risk to the public, and operators restored the unit to service safely and without incident.
Limerick Unit 2 continued to generate electricity during the Unit 1 outage. Limerick Generating Station is located approximately 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
