THE downfall of tyrant Colonel Gaddafi will bring joy to motorists by slashing
more than 4 PENCE off petrol prices, the AA said last night.
Experts said global oil prices are set to tumble as Libya's production returns
to normal when fighting ends — and that will be passed on at the pumps.
The revolution's effects on prices were already apparent yesterday, when Brent
crude fell more than one per cent in London to 107.9 dollars a barrel.
It came as jubilant rebel forces continued to pour into capital Tripoli
But there was doubt over the complete overthrow of Gaddafi's regime as one of
his sons made a dramatic appearance in Libya last night to prove he has not
been arrested.
Saif al-Islam had been reported as captured but emerged at a hotel in Tripoli
claiming his father's government had "broken the backbone"
of the rebel offensive there.
He also insisted his tyrant father was still alive and in Tripoli – despite
the leader, 69, having not been seen.
Fighting continued with defiant pro-Gaddafi troops. But rebels hunting the
Mad Dog dictator were receiving help from Britain's SAS, The Sun can reveal.
AA spokesman Luke Bosdet predicted the petrol price cuts, saying: "That's what
the man in the street is expecting.
"When the Libyan crisis began petrol was just below 130p per litre. We should
be heading below that again.
"But, given how strangely the commodity markets have been behaving, we're not
holding our breath just yet."
Unleaded currently averages 134.55p per litre across the UK, despite a big
fall in the world oil price since July.
Libya was one of the world's bigger oil producers before the civil war erupted
in March — pumping out 1.5million barrels a day in 2010. Production slumped
to 100,000 barrels this summer but supplies should improve.
Rebels are said to have seized control of more than 90 per cent of Tripoli.
And sources said crack SAS units are passing their skills on to the rebels to
help them find the hated ex-leader.
Britain's elite special forces have been in Libya for weeks, training and
arming the liberation forces fighting to topple Gaddafi.
SBS troops on the Royal Navy warship HMS Ocean off the coast of Libya are
guiding the hunt by directing surveillance aircraft.
A defence source told The Sun: "Now the rebels have the upper hand in Tripoli,
our advisors are turning their attentions to the hunt for Gaddafi.
"The Libyan people want him alive so he can go on trial for his crimes.
Everyone will be working hard to make sure that happens. Victory will only
come when he is caught."
It was thought Gaddafi could still be at his Bab al-Azizya compound in Tripoli
— the scene of heavy fighting yesterday. Rebel chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil
said: "There remain pockets of resistance. But, God willing, we will
eliminate them within 48 hours.
"No one can definitely tell the whereabouts of Gaddafi."
Reports in America said training by British and French special forces helped
smash Gaddafi's resistance at the weekend.
A team of 20 military personnel based in the rebel capital of Benghazi have
been advising the rebel hierarchy on communications and tactics. Their work
was the key to the fall of Tripoli.
There were bizarre scenes in Tripoli last night when Saif made his surprise
appearance after rebels had claimed he had been detained.
It came as both loyalists to Gaddafi and rebels said they control the capital.
Saif turned up at Hotel Rixos held by loyalists in the early hours of this
He told the BBC: "We have broken the backbone of the rebels." He
added that by moving into Tripoli, the rebels had fallen into "a trap".
He said: "We gave them a hard time, so we're winning."
Saif, 39, had been widely regarded as a likely successor to his father.
On Sunday the rebels claimed they had captured him and other members of his
Asked if Colonel Gaddafi was safe and in Tripoli, he replied: "Of course."
He also went to his father's Bab al-Azizia compound and told three journalists
accompanying him: "Tripoli is under our control. Everyone should rest
The Libyan leader's whereabouts are still unclear.
International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell blamed confusion over
Saif's apparent arrest on the "fog of warfare".
He said: "There was a lot of confusion, there are quite long lines of
communication involved.
"It's inevitable in this situation, with the warfare going on as it is, that
there will be some confusion."
Mr Mitchell said British ministers had "no idea" where Colonel Gaddafi was
hiding, but said Americans believed he was still in Libya.
And he claimed: "The rebels are in control of much of Tripoli this morning and
I think we are nearing the end game."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said today it was "only a matter of time"
before Gaddafi was defeated.
After chairing a meeting of the National Security Council, Mr Clegg said the
reappearance of Saif was "not the sign of some great comeback" for the
Nato spokesman Colonel Roland Lavoie said most of Tripoli was held by rebel
fighters, adding: "It is clear the Gaddafi regime has lost its grip and
control over the capital.
"But there is still shelling, there's still fighting (and) pockets of
resistance, especially in the traditional strongholds of Gaddafi."
Last night Downing Street signalled a British force of ground troops could be
sent to Libya to help stabilise the war-torn country.
A No10 spokeswoman said it was "unlikely" they would go but refused
to rule it out completely.
She said: "We do not know what extra support the NTC (Libya's National
Transitional Council) might require in terms of stabilisation."
But Mr Mitchell appeared to rule it out.
He said: "We do not see any circumstances in which British troops would
be deployed."
The PM cut short a family holiday in Cornwall to return to London and chair a
meeting of the National Security Council yesterday morning.
In a statement, he called on Gaddafi to end the bloodshed. He said: "Gaddafi
must stop fighting, without conditions and clearly show he has given up any
claim to control Libya."
Mr Cameron also said he had spoken with the chairman of Libya's NTC, Mustafa
Abdul Jalil – Gaddafi's former justice minister.
The PM also praised the RAF for their vital role in liberating Libya.
Last night he held talks with Barack Obama. The US President said: "As
the regime collapses there is still fierce fighting.
"Although it is clear Gaddafi's rule is over, he still has the
opportunity to reduce further bloodshed by relinquishing power."
What had been a stalemate in Libya ended as rebel forces swept into the
capital in a surprise push and supporters inside the city launched a
co-ordinated uprising.
The way for the rebel attack had been cleared by massive Nato air strikes —
46 on Sunday alone. RAF jets pulverised a Gaddafi spy HQ with nine
laser-guided bombs in a pre-dawn raid.
A source told The Sun: "Our team were there to help and clearly they've done
their job."
Later that day they obliterated a tank barring the rebel advance on the
outskirts of Libya.
Since the start of the fighting on March 19, our Top Guns have hammered 890
Gaddafi targets. A South African airlines plane was on standby in bordering
Tunisia yesterday to fly Gaddafi to a new life. Venezuela, Cuba, Angola and
Zimbabwe were all said to be possible refuges.
Meanwhile his brutal henchmen resorted to shooting children — with an
11-year-old girl hit in the head by a sniper.
Rebels stormed the Libyan state TV studios and hunted for foreign mercenaries
paid by Gaddafi. But resistance continued as government tanks emerged from a
Son is 'killed'
A body found last night was believed to be that of one of Gaddafi's sons — the
youngest, Khamis.
The 28-year-old was leader of a ruthless army corps dubbed the "Khamis
Oldest lad Mohammed, 41, escaped after rebels seized him. Ex-Libyan soccer
captain Saadi, 38, is in custody and regime spokesman Saif, 39, was seen in
Tripoli last night.
Alex Crawford tells world on Sky
SKY News reporter Alex Crawford has been hailed worldwide as the first
journalist in liberated Tripoli when she rode in on a truck with rebels.
Her brave coverage wearing body armour and a helmet was seen by millions.
The 48-year-old mum of four was given a hero's welcome by locals as the rebels
stormed in.
She was the first to report on ecstatic scenes in Green Square as Mad Dog
Gaddafi's regime fell.
At one point she was one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.
Her cameraman used a laptop connected to a satellite dish plugged in a truck's
cigarette lighter.
A Sky News spokeswoman said: "Alex has once again proved she is an exceptional
Megrahi may face jail again
DAVID Cameron last night backed calls by US politicians to bring the Lockerbie
bomber back to justice.
Asked if Abdelbaset al-Megrahi should be jailed or extradited, a No10
spokeswoman said the PM believed the terrorist had committed an "appalling
act of terror" and his 2009 release was "wrong".
The Libyan, 58, was convicted of the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jet that killed
270 in Scotland.
There was fury when Scottish ministers freed Megrahi, who had cancer, on
compassionate grounds.
Republican Mitt Romney last night said new leaders must extradite him.
East Renfrewshire Council, which has been communicating with Megrahi as part
of his release terms, said it is trying to contact him.
Megrahi was given a life sentence for the 1988 bombing which killed 270
The decision to release the only man convicted of the Lockerbie atrocity
sparked fury on both sides of the Atlantic.
He is still alive despite doctors suggesting that prostate cancer meant he was
likely to die within months.

It's a jungle out there...
alien lizard
Taking pictures from my kids and old computers has become the major part of my fotography and to tell the truth: all pictures are taken with the iphone camera. The quickness of pulling it out of my pocket and having it ready within seconds is key to freeze the right moments with your kids – shooting with one hand only, while holding back my daughter from hazzardous traffic with the other is another big point why my trusty D90 is covered with dust. Marie discovered a lizzard today and it vanished into a gap, between two stones. The gap was…
pleasing pheasant
Two years ago I had to move my office, out of the main building to the remote house a little set back on the companies property. The house was pretty run down and I was told to have office of my own. At first I was really shocked and kind of felt left alone, but it did not take long to get accustomed. The really good thing at my new spot is the window grants a view directly into the little woods. This area has been left alone for quite some time and so the nature and its inhabitants spread out. Daily visits…
new years seal
After two years of absence we finally managed to return to an old habit to spent New Year's Eve in the Netherlands, together with friends. Today went for a nice little walk along the beach and were observed by this little seal. Guess he just wanted to wish you all a happy and delightful new year – so do I. Happy new year!
capturing the cult
There has not been much time for nature throughout the last three years. My focus mainly shifted towards the digital retro park project and the goal of creating something great that will last and bring lots of fun to the people. Right now I am into the process of shooting good pictures of some treasures of my hardware collection. The mighty C64 was my first computer and still the one that hits the sweetspot for me. There are tons of not so common computers and consoles in my collection, but this one is the best. This is just to show…
bloody moony.
A moon eclipse and a blood red moon are not quite common and so I set my alarm clock and tried to capture it, without much luck. I was to lazy to go downstairs, dress up, risking waking up Marie and my wife, so I went out on the balcony in shorts and T-Shirt, which was a little cold at 4°C. But it wasn't only me that was shaking… the moon, while being red, not being quite as bright as usual, made me dial down the F-stops and crank up the ISO. The result is far from being crisp, but…
Catching lightning strikes is a game of chance, when you do not have a facny hardware at hand, that triggers your shot. I actually build a photoduino for those kind of stuff, but somehow lost it somewhere, without even the chance to test it. This thunderstorm was heavy and had lots of lightning. As usual, when you got people around you, while setting up your gear, you get the feeling that you missed the best ones… "Did you see this one! Boaahh!", while you still fiddle with the settings. Nailed this one, though.
clouds, cow and shed
starry night
Every 5 years, I meet up with some friends from highschool and usually we rent a old shed in Isny/Allgäu to spent a long weekend together. This year we were too slow and undecisive and the Hammerschmiede (that' s the name of the old house) was already occupied. We ended up with a new stay nearby which was, in contrast to the old one, atop of a vast meadow, with tons of birds around and plain view. This night I sneaked away from the daily booze and chat and setup my camera. No real startrails, but nice, non the less….
Phillack morning
Chapel of St. Nicholas
St.Ives is very touristic and around the harbour you find a lot of food shops, cafes and bars, where you can sit and eat or take away your favs. Also you will find many seagulls that team up in gangs. One or two start pulling the attention towards them and a third fleis by and steals your meal. We withnessed it a couple of times, while sitting in a restaurant…. under the sunroof, off course.
Pattern in Penzance
Porthkidney Beach
Today our second week of our Cronwall trip started. We had to move from Newquy to Phillack, where we rented a littel chalet in a park. There are no busses that go up here and so we had to walk the 1.4 miles from Hayle to here. Once again a rough ride along sections of the south-west coast path with all our luggage, push chair and backpacks. The first casualty was my new Dakine rollcase, that got shredded on the rough underground… big torture for Marie. More than three hours on the bus and then in the push chair, all…

Have you ever seen the rain
We went for a walk… for a long walk actually. Our goal was to hike from Newquay to the Bedruthan Steps. According to some obscure webiste it should have been about only 5.5 miles. First mistake was the tiny difference between miles and kilometers, and the second that we did not looked for another website. Half way towards Mawgan Porth the rain came after us, and got us. Bakholiday was the third mistake, as the busses home won't go on that day, but that's another story.
Headland Hotel
grey heron
Meet my new friend! This really big grey heron can be seen in the Vogelpark in Niendorf. He has one crippled claw and his nostrils was jammed with dirt. Obviously his ability to fly away had been disabled by cutting his feathers on the left wing. Sitting in a rather dull spot at the farest end of the park he reminded me of an old captain, stranded, with no water and chance to ever get away. He seemed to have some story to tell and was absolutely not shy, which is usually the case with herons. Whenever they see you…
I really feel kind of lucky to have natrure around me, and even parks that are nearby and are build very well. Together with Claus and Michael I went to the "Alte Fasanerie", an ancient park near Hanau. It was a bright day and all the animals seem to enjoy it even more than we did. Here's a youg moose posing in the bright midday sun.
A small trip to the Grünen Seen (green lakes) last weeked to catch some fresh air. The sun had dissapeared for… well I don't know excatly, but it felt like forever…. and now it was out the first day. Till we reached the lake, it already was about to vanish again, but none the less, I caught some swans going after their business in the partly frozen lake. Like the composition and texture of of this, so I share it with you.

duck studies #1
Happy new year everyone. We spent our new years eve in Makkum/Netherlands which is kind of surrounded by nature parks with lots of birds. Ducks used to be quite common in my hometown, too. Lately the egyptian goose has concoured their resorts and ducks had to move. I was quite happy to see them again, even though far from home.
brute force
Catching flashes with my camera is always a big adventure. By viewing this shot it is obvious what I really need to improve… my own position. Spectacular as these shot may look, it lacks composition that is somehting that I can't fix without retake. The big problem when shooting flashes is that a thunderstrom is right with you, most likely carrying tons of rain and so I need to get something to store the camera away safely. The roof of above the balcony at the Judohaus has served me quite well, but I was bound to stay there. Next year……
promissed land
It was my second time that I went up that hill to attend the 2012 Shaolin Mountain Retreat and although I had been there almost eveery year since 2003 it is something different with the Kung-Fu brothers and sisters. The energy is there and this sundown, at the first evening, mirrored the nice days to come.

How right that saying is we all got to know when grandpa died last month, being number three after my cousins grandma and Lutzi. Ninetysix years is a big number and he made his peace with the circumstances, knowing that he won't carry on – but the fact remains: Death just hurts for the rest of us, even if we could say good bye. I hope that you and granny are reunited and have a good time now. R.I.P. grandpa. Picture was taken one…
R.I.P. Lutzi
She was always there – the whole 13 years. She was one of the best friends we had and she was a big part of our family. Today the cancer won and we had to go and see the doctor for a final visit. Now there is a huge emtpy spot on our sofa and in our hearts. We had to let go and we hope that our poor little friend is now in doggy heaven. We miss you Lutzi! I hope you are now at a better place, without pain…. peace!
kite fight
Our last stop of our trip was in Goa. Right the first day, we stepped out of the airport I noticed flock of huge birds in the sky and they where everywhere else to be found as well, but in Goa I finally had the time to sneak by and take some shots not without fretting about leaving my big lens in Germany. Anyway here you can see two young black kites practicing some dogfight maneuvers.
Our second day in Hampi we descided to shift back one gear and have a relaxing day by strolling around, visiting the places we missed the day before and stay longe in one spot. First animal of the day that we noticed was this hoopoe, passing us by couple of times at top of the virupaksha temple. Nice catch, isn't it?

Toque macaque
The old world monkey, as it is calssified. Our first day in Kandy we went to the botanical garden and althoug quite impressive it was the monkeys that cought my eye. After one of the elders tried to ripp of our bananas from Nadines bag, we choose to follow them to their spot. After a couple of minutes they almost ingnored us and we could observe them quite well. This one reminds me somehow of Bob Marley…
Indian Woodpecker
You could find woodpeckers all over the world. There are about 200 known species and non the less, I was surprised to find it in the Indian jungle. The best part about it is that indian birds are not shy at all. So I could get quite close and som decent shots. Not that it uses its tail as tripod… a camera and we would probably be really good friends.
delawella beach
Half fish, half reptile they are somhow arkward creatures. They can breath through their skin as well ais their mouth, depending if they are in the water or on land. This cutaneous air breathing functions much like a skubadivers system. However their gills have to stay wet and so you mostly find them on the rocks along the shore. Flexing their body they can jump uo to 60cm in one leap. Be sure to stay calm and do not move when you want to observe them – their eyes are really good.
old varanus
On our second day in Hikkaduwa/ Sri Lanka, Santa took us to a nearby lagoon and the first animal we met, was this old, big varanus, about 2m long and really looking hazardous. They are known to be very clever and can count up to number six, which is quite big thing for animals from the times of dinosaurs. Now I am frightened.
the krestel and the jay
This weekend was nice weahter. i had an appointment in Mainz, to pick up a new/old treassure for my computer collection – a sought after Commodore PET. Nadine joined me on the trip and the plan was to enjoy a walk in the sun, along the Rhein. The guy who sold me the PET was already waiting for us and I asked him if he knew some nice area to take a walk. He said we should go and try right behind some buildings nearby… so we did and found a nature reservoir, between the motorway and the city. A…

This is the kind of desire Le Toiny arouses, a tropical paradise on the hills of St. Barts at the heart of a 42-acre palm grove. You will find your refuge in one of the villa-suites, each with its own infinity pool and an exceptional Caribbean ocean view, or at the Hotel's new beach with cocktails and lounge chairs. With toes in the sand, under the coccolobas and beach huts, lounge around with delight and admire the surfers as they ride the waves of St. Barts' wild and authentic coast. The restaurant, for its part, elevates with great artistry the flavours of a simple, contemporary cuisine, infused with the timeless elegance of the Caribbean. ... Learn moreless

Chicago Fire Defender Austin Berry Named MLS 2012 Rookie Of The Year
Written By: dunny|
Nov 19, 2012
via MLSSoccer
Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry on Monday was announced by MLS as the winner of the 2012 Rookie of the Year award after one of the most memorable national PR campaigns seen in MLS circles.
With the backing of club sponsor Quaker, hundreds of Life cereal boxes were printed with Berry's likeness during the summer, but it was no replacement for his contributions to the Fire in 2012 en route to the club's first playoff appearance since 2009.
More on Austin Berry Being Named MLS 2012 Rookie Of The Year / Voting Breakdown after the Jump………
The University of Louisville product, who was picked No. 9 overall by the Fire in the 2012 SuperDraft, started 28 straight matches in central defense for Chicago and contributed three goals, including a goal on his debut.
Berry beat out D.C. United's Nick DeLeon and Vancouver's Darren Mattocks, who finished behind him in the voting. Toronto FC's Luis Silva and New York's Connor Lade rounded out the Top 5 in the award recognizing first-year MLS players without previous professional experience.

Homemade: Irresistible Homemade Recipes for Every Occasion. By Clodagh McKenna. Kyle Books. $24.95.
In publicity materials, author McKenna, an Irish TV personality and cooking expert, says she designed the book to resemble her mother's venerable "Housekeeper's Guide," given to her mum when she was first married. "For my mum it was like a housekeeping bible, stuffed with recipes, handy tips and sound advice."
Gone are the days, we sincerely hope, when the only recipients of such a book are young brides: "This book . . . is also for single dads, independent women, couples and everyone in between," McKenna writes.
The book is a mixture of recipes, some unusual, such as Farmers Market Paté and Roasted Artichokes with Lemon Thyme, and some old standbys, such as tiramisu. There are also tips on decorating on a budget, homemade food gift suggestions and entertaining guidelines.
It is an attractive and useful text overall, with many beautiful images of the food; one drawback is that in a few spots the publisher has printed recipe directions over dark or bold images without thickening the typeface, which makes the whole thing a challenge to read. Fortunately this happens in only a few places; let's hope it gets fixed should the book go into subsequent print runs.
"Ludo Bites America" on Sundance
This reality cooking show follows the exploits of Ludo Lefebvre, a former Top Chef Master, who created LudoBites, a so-called pop-up restaurant, which travels from city to city, serving up gourmet food based on locally available ingredients.
New episodes air at 8 p.m. Tuesdays.
Some of the chef's attempts to assimilate the local cuisine will shock and disturb. Case in point: the Aug. 9 episode, when our man hunts and kills a buffalo in Colorado, then eats the heart in the field "out of respect for the animal." He uses every part of the buffalo in dishes for his Denver pop-up.
The new "Fresh Tastes" food blog at PBS.org is maintained by Jenna Weber, a yoga enthusiast and Cordon Bleu graduate, and Marc Matsumoto, a foodie who has lived in the United States, Japan and Australia and collected ethnic food traditions from all over the world.

Day Twenty-six
Owen ground his teeth together, obviously not thrilled with the position he had found himself in. But after a moment of stalling (just for show, really) he said a few words to the guard in the hall and shut the door, a little more firmly than necessary.
"Gerald is not sick, is he?" he asked, crossing his arms across his chest.
"No," Grace and Estelle replied in unison.
"And he is not just hiding from me out of fear."
"Not just out of fear," Estelle said, "though I imagine that played a role in the speed of his departure."
"His departure." Owen sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "So it is as I feared. I should never have given him that scroll."
"You saw through his charade then?" Grace asked, though she could read the answer in the king's body language.
"I could see the truth in his eyes," Owen said, easing down onto the stool by the desk. "I am not so easily fooled as that. But I wanted to be wrong and he certainly knew how to put me on the spot. Still, I should not have been so irresponsible. I have sent him to his death."
"You have done no such thing, child," Grace said with a shake of her head. "Jerry had made up his mind and was going to find a way to do this one way or another. All we can do is hope that either another hunter succeeds before the dragon has a chance to kill Jerry, or -"
"Or Gerald succeeds himself?" Owen's eyes narrowed. "Were you two in on this?"
"Absolutely not!" Estelle said, anger igniting in her eyes. "I would have tied him to his bed if I'd had even the slightest inkling he was thinking of doing this! I didn't know Jerry was gone until I found his servant locked in that wardrobe over there!"
"And when was this?" Owen demanded, rising to his feet.
"It doesn't matter -"
"Answer the question!"
"About ten minutes after I left the Great Hall yesterday," Estelle said, the muscles in her jaw clenching.
"And I am only being informed of this now," Owen said, shaking his head in disbelief. "Do you want that boy to die?"
"No, father," Estelle told him with a challenging stare, "I want him to succeed."
Grace winced and braced for the explosion she was certain would follow. But Owen, after beginning to erupt, suddenly deflated and sank back down onto the stool, closing his eyes. Estelle's anger dissipated and was quickly replaced with concern.
"Father, I -"
"How long?" he asked without opening his eyes.
"I… how long, what?"
"How long have you loved him?" Owen opened his eyes and looked at his daughter with an unreadable expression.
"I… I don't know," Estelle said quietly. "I only just realized how I felt very, very recently."
"This is why none of your suitors would do," the king said softly. "No matter the title, no matter the looks, none could lay claim to your heart… for another already had."
"And neither of them realized it until you threatened to force a husband upon her," Grace said gently as she moved to his side. "Of all the things your decision set in motion, this was the one none of us could have seen coming."
"I am sorry, father. If I had known I would have… had you send Jerry away, or… something."
"I tried that once," Owen said with a tired smile. "You nearly went out of your head, so I chose not to do it again. It was easier on both of us that way."
"His jester training?" Estelle's eyes went wide. "But… we were so young then! You couldn't have possibly known that -"
"I saw the writing on the wall," Owen said with a shrug. "I can see now I should have sent him to military school so that he might have had at least a little preparation for this quest. But I had no way of seeing all of this coming, so here we are. Hoping and praying for his safe return."
"You would accept Jerry as my husband if he kills this dragon?"
"I have given him my oath," Owen said as he pushed himself to his feet and moved to the door. "Besides, he already has your heart and any other match would never suffice for you. It would warm this old heart to see you two wed, though I never dared dream it was possible. Perhaps, against all odds, some good will come of this."
With that he exited the room, leaving the two women in stunned silence. After several moments, Grace moved to Estelle and wrapped her in a tight embrace. They remained that way for a long time, no words needing to be spoken, until Grace let go and took her leave. Estelle, still feeling blindsided, sank down onto Gerald's bed and sat staring at the flickering candles.
She didn't move again until the first candle extinguished itself, at which point she finally made her way to her room. In a daze, she fell into her bed fully clothed, thinking of Gerald and the dragon and the words of her father, until sleep took her at last.
Chapter Nineteen
The journey north continued without incident for several days, and Gerald's aim with the throwing stars improved with each morning practice session. He was finally able to hit the middle circle of the target with some consistency and Moss was gradually increasing the distance he was throwing from. But Gerald was aware that no matter how good his aim might become, the weapons would not slay the dragon - a sword was required for that.
So on the third morning after their encounter with Sir Dustin and his squire (which was still coming up in conversation rather regularly), he pulled his sword from its scabbard and began to practice the moves Magnus had taught him. Tree watched him in silence for several minutes and then, while Gerald was pausing to regain his breath, came over to speak with him.
"You wield that as though it was a poisonous snake trying to sink its fangs into your face," he observed.
"Thank you… for the… encouragement," Gerald wheezed between deep breaths. After several more he added, "Perhaps I am practicing to handle Blackwing like that. I bet you didn't think of that, did you?"
"Ah, of course. Strangulation, that is the way to take the dragon out. Such a clever young man you are."
"At least I'm aware that I need to practice," Gerald muttered as he brought his sword up again and took a couple of swings. "Would you rather see me charge blindly into his lair, hoping that he might happen to impale himself on my sword in all the commotion?"
"You have been wise enough to seek assistance with the throwing stars," Tree said, "why have you not done the same with this weapon?"
"I took a lesson before leaving the city," Gerald said, letting his sword tip sink into the ground at his feet. "But now I am without a teacher, so I must do what I can on my own."
"Ah, without a teacher, I see." Tree looked at him for a moment, a smile playing at his lips. "Most unfortunate, that. If only there was someone amongst us that knew even the smallest amount about swordsmanship."
"Who?" Gerald demanded, his eyes narrowing.
"I might be able to teach you a thing or two," Tree replied casually.
"You don't strike me as the sort of man that would ever touch a sword."
"Too… peaceful?" Tree asked with a smile. "I would be a poor leader of this group if I had no way of defending them. So I have learned how to wield a sword, how to shoot a bow, throw a spear. Rare is the occasion that I must use such knowledge, but it has been invaluable when the need arises."
"Will you help me?" Gerald asked before shaking his head and laughing. "I mean, even more than you already have? You have been far too -"
"I will help you, Jerry. But not now - you look exhausted and we must be on the move again soon. Rest up while we travel and tonight we shall see what can be done about your relationship with your sword."
Gerald spent the day on his own inside the wagon while Meadow rode up front with her husband and Tree rode with Leaf. He listened to Moss and his wife speaking fondly to each other for the first hour after they broke camp, allowing himself to wallow in the misery of his separation from Estelle. But he finally forced himself to move to the far end of the cart to take in the landscape they were moving through.
There were more hills in that area, and it seemed like they were always either climbing or descending. Gerald spotted several stands of twisted trees, their limbs already bare of leaves, but otherwise it was open fields as far as he could see. They had not met with any of the other dragon hunters, nor seen any sign of them, though several wagons making their way south had met them on the road. They passed with waves and short greetings, not wanting to be on the road any longer than necessary as the days grew steadily shorter.
Pulling a second blanket overtop of the first, Gerald squeezed himself into a ball as the wind began to pick up. Every muscle in his body ached, including several he hadn't known existed before leaving the comfort of the castle behind. But he liked the smell of the air out there - it was so much more invigorating than in the city. He thought he would find it stuffy when he returned.
"When," he said with a shake of his head. "My, aren't we getting optimistic all of a sudden?"
He was, much to his surprise, enjoying the experience. Perhaps Moss was on to something with all that talk about living life to the fullest, he thought with a smile. He may only have a few days left to him, but he was intent on making the most of them.
They stopped to make camp that night in the meager shelter provided by a collection of five spindly trees. The wind was howling down from the north and Gerald was happy to lend a hand with the chopping of firewood as it got his blood pumping after a day of stillness. Meadow and Rain created a soup out of some of the dried meat Gerald had brought with him and they consumed it in silence.
"Still up for a lesson?" Tree asked Gerald while they were cleaning up afterward, the wind whipping his hair around his head in a jingling cloud.
"I don't think I have the luxury of taking time off just because the weather is unpleasant. But if you'd rather not I'll understand."
"Weather is neither pleasant nor unpleasant," Tree said. "It merely is. It is we that put names to it, like good or bad. I choose to see it is as good, for if I am experiencing the wind or the rain or the sunshine… it means I still live. So let us practice together."
Gerald retrieved his sword from the back of the wagon and turned to find Tree waiting for him, a blade that was nearly as tall as the former jester resting on one shoulder. Gerald smiled weakly and they moved to a flat area between the fire and the trees. The wind, if anything, felt stronger there, forcing its way through his clothing with brute force. He allowed himself a moment to be jealous of the others as they buried themselves in blankets and huddled together for warmth before bringing his focus back to the man - and weapon - before him.

Community Manager and AVID Liaison = Michelle Squared
Posted by Staff Writer on April 29, 2014
The Minnesota School of Business-Brooklyn Center campus (MSB) has several faculty with similar names, specifically Michelles and Michaels. It has certainly confused our students before when they see more than one of these individuals on their class schedule! Who are the Michelles, otherwise known as Michelle Squared?
Michelle Barsness is the campus community manager and applied learning coordinator. She attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus after high school and earned a Bachelor's of Arts in History. Knowing that she wanted to teach, she went back to school immediately after graduation to earn a Master's of Education. With the degree, Barsness also earned a Minnesota teaching license; she is licensed to teach social studies in grades five through twelve.
After college, Barsness taught both middle school and high school for three years. One year later, in April 2008, she began her time with Minnesota School of Business. Her first role was as a general education adjunct instructor at the Blaine campus. When service learning and applied learning was introduced to the college in 2009, she took on the role as service-learning coordinator at the Brooklyn Center campus, where she has been ever since.
Barsness's primary role on campus is that of community manager. She said, "I love this position because it gives me the opportunity to be more involved with the community. I am actively involved as a board member of the Brooklyn Center Business Association, and I am the current president of the North Hennepin Business Women's group." Barsness also writes the campus blog, manages the campus Facebook account, assists with events on campus, and teaches a class or two every quarter.
When asked what her favorite memory is from work, she said, "I have a lot of favorite memories from work! Some of my favorites have been visiting the State Fair with a group of students and faculty, completing several really cool service learning projects with my classes, holding our annual Day of Peace celebration here on campus, and going to the Capitol for Hill Day. I also enjoy going to graduation ceremonies."
In Barsness's spare time, she enjoys spending time with family, playing volleyball, camping and running. Her favorite quote is from the late Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
Michelle Rivard is the AVID liaison at MSB-BC. She attended Saint Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota, and earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Graphic Design.
She later attended Bethel University and earned a Master's of Arts in Communication as well as a Post-Graduate Teaching Certificate in Post-Secondary Education.
After her first degree from Saint Mary's, Rivard worked in marketing communications. She was responsible for writing brochures and web content. She also worked on branding initiatives and art direction. While in graduate school, Rivard realized that she was being called into higher education, so she pursued a teaching certificate. In 2010, Rivard began working for MSB-Richfield as an adjunct instructor teaching intercultural communication. She also taught at MSB-Blaine, MSB-Elk River, and MSB-Brooklyn Center.
In 2012, she accepted a position with the MSB-BC campus as the AVID liaison. Rivard said, "AVID changes lives, which is why I really enjoy this position. I am lucky to be a part of this phenomenal system of learning." Rivard can also be found in the classroom every quarter teaching general education classes and communication classes.
In regard to Rivard's favorite memories from work, she said, "Having students in my class during their very first quarters and then being there when they graduate is a wonderful feeling. I also enjoy spending time with my colleagues whom I respect, admire, and hold great affection. We laugh a lot!"
During her spare time, Rivard enjoys attending concerts and theater productions. Her favorite quote comes from Robert Bly: "Think as hard as you can, love as hard as you can, pray as hard as you can, and if that doesn't work out, laugh as hard as you can."

A beginning Battle
Samuel thrust his legs over to the side and stood up. He put his arms out to the side and stretched. He glanced sideways and saw Lillia gazing at him in wonder. He looked away and looked to Herman who was holding his dirty old shirt. He took it and slipped it over his head pulling the shirt down so it covered his stomach.
"Lillia," Aldred spoke. "I need more herbs." Lilllia's face lit up and she smiled.
"I will go pick them right away!" She exclaimed and threw open the door.
"Aldred, can Samuel come with me?" Aldred looked at the prince
'Yes." Lillia squealed, took Samuel's hand lead him out the door in a rush.
"The herbs are behind here," she said running around the small house. Behind it was a tiny hill and beyond that was a dirt field with plants growing out from the soil. Samuel looked up for a mountain nearby was so tall it seemed to reach the sun.
"Come here Samuel and pick these!" Lillia exclaimed pointing to some purple colored plants with a type of black fruit growing on the tip of the branches. Kneeling beside Lillia, Samuel began to pick the black herbs off of the branches and cupped them in his hand.
"So what injury did Aldred cure this time?" Lillia asked.
"An arrow struck my heart."
"Ooo, well it's a good thing you came here. Aldred can heal anyone. Since I was young I always came here to watch him heal people and take care of them. My father works at a bakery and my mother stays home to do the chores. When I was bored I came here to play and Aldred would teach about herbs and healing powers. I am his apprentice now." Lillia got up and ran to another spot with herbs. Samuel watched her smile and her cheeks flush and thought of someone. Danielle and this girl were a lot alike. They were very cheerful. Especially Danielle who hanged around Ella a lot. He could see her happiness when she was with Ella just like Lillia and Aldred. They cared for each other deeply and couldn't be happy if one of them died leaving the other to be alone.
"Samuel." He looked up startled and confused.
"Samuel, look here." It was low whisper that Samuel thought that he could only hear. He turned his view from Lillia to the mountain. He gasped seeing Danielle's face peering at him over the cliff above him. Samuel hurriedly looked back to see if Lillia noticed but her eyes were focused on the herbs she was picking. Samuel looked Danielle in the eyes and said in a quiet voice,
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you were alright," Danielle replied. Samuel rolled his eyes and lifted his arms in a gesture to show that he was perfectly fine. Danielle released a deep breath and smiled.
"That's good."
"Go now," Samuel said. "Before she sees you."
"Who's she?" Danielle demanded.
"I have no time to explain. Now go."
"Samuel, put yours in my apron," Lillia said coming toward him. Danielle quickly hid herself and watched him put the herbs into the pile where her herbs were.
"Why is Samuel with her?" Danielle muttered and watched the girl smile and say something to him.
"They're sure getting along well." Mue was peering down as well and said,
"They look well together."
"Mue! He is engaged to my sister, he can't fall in love with this girl."
"I sense envy.?"
"Mue! Be quiet!" They watched the two begin walking away but right as they made it past the hill a few screams ran through the village. Danielle immediately looked to the sky with panic and saw three winged creatures making their way toward the village.

Woods is making a statement in Florida while the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship - the biggest event of the golfing year so far - is being held in Arizona.
"It's selfish," Els told a reporter from American magazine Golf Week. "You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament."
The sponsor in question, of course, is one of the first companies to dump the world number one after all the revelations about his private life that emerged following his November 27 car crash.
Another player in Tucson, not wanting to be named, felt the same way as Els.
"That was the first thing we all thought of, like he is sticking it to Accenture - and that the PGA Tour is part of it all," he said, drawing reference to the fact that Woods has been given use of the Tour's headquarters to say what he wants to say without taking any questions.
"It's like Tim (Finchem, the tour commissioner) has lost his head. He wants Tiger back in the worst way and so he lets this go on. I mean, we all want to see Tiger back, but this doesn't look good."
Woods' management agent Mark Steinberg has pointed out that when the star addresses a small gathering of "friends, colleagues and close associates", plus a few reporters and one television camera, the golf has not actually started at Dove Mountain.
He said he called one of Accenture's executives to give a "heads up" and made sure the statement would come "well outside the tournament's TV window. Accenture couldn't have been more supportive".
On Els' remark, Steinberg responded: "It's always good to get your information right before commenting. It's strictly a timing issue. There is a very good reason (for Friday) and not do it next week." But when asked what the reason was he would not say.

|Beam to golf at Midland
|November 18, 2016 Jerry Purvis
Jaylen Beam
Gering High School senior Jaylen Beam, daughter of Dan and Jadie Beam, has signed a letter of intent to play golf for Coach Warren Kuhl at Midland University in Fremont in the fall of 2017.
Jaylen was a three-year varsity letter winner for Coach Jessica Boswell. She qualified for the state golf tournament in her sophomore and senior years.
The Midland coach contacted me earlier in the year so I went down to visit, she said. I fell in love with the school. Ever since then, I knew thats where I would be going.
After another visit on Oct. 28, Jaylen signed to play for the golf team. She has a sister attending the university at Lincoln, so she has family in the area.
The girls were so welcoming although wed just met, she said. I felt like part of the team. I also like what the coach stands for. He wants us to succeed in school as well as golf.
While shes looking forward to playing golf at the college level, Jaylen said shed miss her friends in Gering. The team and the coach became like a second family to me. They had my back and were always there for a good laugh. Ill miss all the fun times we had.
Jessica Boswell, Jaylens coach at Gering, said shes been a great asset to the team. She really stepped up as a leader her junior and senior year and spent lots of time during the summer at the golf course playing and practicing.
Boswell thinks Jaylen will be a strong addition to the Midland team over the next four years. She really enjoys golfing and as her coach it makes me happy that she gets to continue to play competitively in college. The coach and players at Midland are lucky to get to have her as part of their team.
Warren Kuhl, golf coach at Midland, agreed. Im excited to have Jaylen join us.

A Strange Visitor
Before he knew it, Aidan was home from school and running into his room. He searched frantically for the book, but had a strong feeling it wouldn't be there. As he suspected, it was gone, as if the whole story were a dream. He considered telling someone about the book, but quickly reconsidered. Everyone would think he was off his rocker, after all.
He busied himself with homework to take his mind off the strange events. Perhaps a second book would appear soon. If not, how would he know if the story ended? Maybe he would write the second part himself, one day. Or, it may just be better if he forgot about it completely.
The day passed slowly and the scent of onions caramelizing on the stovetop wafted his way. Yuck, it's probably chili, he thought with disdain. Ways to avoid eating the dinner were flowing through his mind when he heard a knock at the door.
"Nige!" his mom called. "There's someone at the door!"
When his dad walked past to answer it, his mom hissed quietly "She looks a real weirdo. Probably selling something."
'Real weirdo' was a good observation. Aidan peeked into the living room just in time to see his dad open the door. The woman was tall and thin, her golden blonde hair tied back in a high messy bun. Her dark blue eyes were staring right at him. She wore a short blue dress that rested over some sort of blue bicycle shorts. There was a strange insignia on the sleeves of the dress. Aidan recognized the outfit immediately and his hearth began to race.
His father laughed. Whatever the woman was saying, he didn't sound like he was taking it very seriously. Eventually he seemed to give in and invited the stranger to sit down in the living room.
"AD!" he called. "There's someone here to see you, apparently."
"What's going on?" his mom asked suspiciously, eyeing the situation with an air of caution.
"This woman, er, what was your name again?" his dad began.
"Siloh," the woman responded happily.
"Yes, Siloh claims that she is a witch and wants the chance to prove it."
"So, you let her into the house?" his mom asked, bewildered.
"Well, I figured it would be easy enough to tell if she's lying."
"I can prove it," Siloh said with a small smile. "Where is your sink?"
His dad brought the woman into the kitchen and pointed. Aidan's mom stood behind him, gripping his shoulders and watching from a distance.
"I am a witch," Siloh announced proudly. "And not just any witch. I am a water witch."
She had a funny accent that was hard to place, as if it were a watered-down mix between Scottish and Russian. Aidan was captivated by her words. She really was a witch, just as he had suspected.
Siloh flicked on the faucet and water began to flow. She raised her hands and pulled the water towards her palms. It flowed through the air beautifully, a suspended river. With strange hand motions and shifts in posture she weaved the water in complicated shapes, once creating a cat that chased its own tail frantically. Aidan giggled at the show while his parents stood speechless.
She ended with a clap and the water crashed to the floor, splashing up at their legs. With a wink in Aidan's direction, she pointed her forefinger downward and made a swirling motion. The water followed the movement and swelled up around her hand. With a quick flick, she let it all flow back into the kitchen sink and down the drain.
"Wow," was all his mom could say.
"Aidan is a witch, too, you know. We just do not know what type yet. He will find out when he goes to school," Siloh informed her cheerfully.
"School?" his dad asked, eyeing her with suspicion.
"Sorry," Siloh jumped in quickly. "I am getting ahead of myself. Can we sit down?"
They moved to the living room again and Aidan watched the woman excitedly. She would know what happened to the book and how it ended, since the story must have been about her world. As soon as he could, he would ask her all of the questions that had been running through in his mind.
"Aidan is hereby invited to attend Waimferth Academy, the only school for elemental witches."
"Wait, back up," his dad said. "Where are you from?"
"Ah, well, yes," she paused nervously. "I am from another world. In my world, witches are not common, but they do exist. Far less common are Earth witches. I do not mean the earth element, but witches from your planet. One has not existed for over a hundred years."
"Then how did you know he was here?" his mom asked now.
"We have our ways, but they are not to be discussed. He is a witch and will soon have tremendous powers. If those powers are not trained properly, they will eventually consume him -- not now, but by the time he is twenty, to be sure. That is one reason why students join Waimferth Academy at such a young age.
"For as long as there have been witches, there has been Waimferth. The first witches of each element created it, having nearly been destroyed by their own power. It provides the very best education and training. I teach water elementalism there. Oh, and the dorms are lovely," she added in as an afterthought.
"Dorms? So it's a boarding school?" Dad seemed displeased.
"Well, yes. It is awfully far away. Another world, you know! Young witches do visit frequently, though. Students come back one weekend at the end of each month and they also take extended holidays."
"If what you're saying is true, why can't you take us to this school?" Mom asked now.
"I can! You will be dropping your son off at the school, of course. These children are young and not used to being away from home. We have manner of magic outside of just elemental manipulation that allows for travel between our two worlds at ease. However, it is not to be overused, which is why students cannot come back at the end of each day."
Aidan bounced excitedly at this news. Could it really be true? He wasn't sure if this was just going to disappear like the book.
"This is all very new for us, you have to understand. We will visit the school before it starts and see what your officials have to say," his dad explained.
"That is perectly reasonable. Here is a list of everything he will need," she began, pulling out a folded piece of paper from a hidden pocket in her dress. "It also gives you instructions on how you will get to Waimferth. Please, mull it over. We look forward to having Aidan in class."
Siloh smiled at Aidan now. He returned the smile with a sheepish grin.
"Any quick questions, Aidan?"
"Yes, um, where did the book come from?" Aidan asked nervously.
"What book?" Siloh wondered.
"It's called Waimferth Academy. It was all about your school and children who went there. The top witch of each class was chosen and trained and... things like that."
"That is very strange. The top students are indeed chosen, but not even the younger students know that. I am afraid that I have never heard of a book named after the school, either. Do you have it with you?"
"No. It disappeared when I came home," Aidan revealed, now feeling slightly crestfallen.
"Such a book should not exist. But stranger things have happened at Waimferth," she said with a wink. "However, it is time for me to go. I hope you end up being a water witch, Aidan!"
She walked out of the house without another word and disappeared from sight.

Utica will get AHL franchise, Vancouver affiliate
Associated Press | Last updated June 14, 2013
The American Hockey League is returning to the Mohawk Valley of upstate New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the Utica Memorial Auditorium will be the new home of the Utica Comets, who will be the minor league affiliate of the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks. The Comets will kick off their inaugural season this fall at the 4,000-seat Utica Memorial Auditorium, which will be renovated with the help of $5 million in state aid. The new franchise brings the number of AHL clubs in New York State to six, joining the Rochester Americans, Syracuse Crunch, Binghamton Senators, Albany Devils and Adirondack Phantoms in the 30-team league. Utica also has been home to the Devils of the AHL and has had franchises in the United Hockey League and North Eastern Hockey League.
