Good. That's why we carry brother. No Rambo stuff just used your gun to defend yourself. I think those boys got the point. Don't You?
This is a discussion on Almost had to use it at the ATM this evening... within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; It was close to 9pm and I am walking my dog after dinner when the wifey calls me asking me to get cash out of ...
It was close to 9pm and I am walking my dog after dinner when the wifey calls me asking me to get cash out of the ATM which is a minute from where I live.
So I walk up to the bank next door and notice 2 guys smoking near the intersection. As I walk to take the cash out, I sense something in the corner of my eye and it didn't feel right.
Mind you, I had my dog on his leash in my left hand, my wallet in my right hand and I was punching in the numbers for the ATM with the same hand! Not a very "tactical" use of my hands in that situation. I notice the guys coming closer and they both get on either side of me. Usually whenever people want to use the ATM, they get in line and keep a safe distance. These two were almost over my shoulder.
My Jack Russel, who thinks he is a pitbull, jumped on the guy on my right and went for his ankles. This threw them back a little. By then I had the money in my hand and pulled my card out. My dog's reaction scared the 2nd guy who was going, "control your dog, man!"
The first guy then asks me if I can spare a dollar. They kept coming closer as they knew I my dog was leashed and I was pulling him back. By then I had my right hand on my handgun. One of them saw it and they both took off running.
I just got home. I am glad I didn't have to use it or even take it out.
I usually never walk upto an ATM. I take the car and go to the drive through. Taking money out of an ATM with a dog in one hand and a wallet in another in a bad neighborhood isn't a very good idea.

For the stength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. - R. Kipling
Romans 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].
Glad it all worked out.
Of course in hindsight, it is easy to armchair quarterback. Maybe when the guy told you to control your dog you could have said something like, "he would be a lot better behaved if you kept your distance". Oh, wait, how about, "he just got back from his Blackwater training session and is itching to try out his new skills". Naaa.
Well, glad you were OK and didn't have to shoot anyone.
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
Glad that you are Ok and that you didn't have to shoot
One of the things that has always bugged me about ATMs is the huge blind spot behind you as you face into the machine. I wonder if we could do something to pressure banks into putting a fisheye mirror above the ATM, that way we could maintain a larger situational awareness.
Hind-sight is always 20/20. An option might have been, when you turned around to find these two bozos on either shoulder, would have been to drop the leash to your dog. Let him be a free agent of distraction while you moved and got some distance between you and these guys who were not acting in a friendly manner. Here in Montana, under our new law, you could have drawn and displayed your weapon without fear of reprisal by the justice system.
Kudos on getting through what easily could have turned into a robbery or killing.
It may be easy to "armchair quarterback," but now you'll better be able to reconsider the risks of:
- Generally speaking, doing something at night, alone, that takes your attention away from a pair of inbound folks acting as a team who don't have your best interests at heart.
- Doing ATM work at 9pm, at a walk-up ATM.
- Doing ATM work with something else to occupy your attention from your surroundings (ie, the dog ... unless that dog is trained, large and assertive enough to be an effective deterrent).
- Continuing to approach the ATM in spite of having noticed a pair of loitering males at a corner, smoking, watching what you're doing.
- Allowing a pair of folks to come right up on you while you continue to be heads-down at the ATM, instead of turning to face the potential incoming threat.
- Doing any of the above with failure to be wearing that "BlackWater / GunSite / Thunder Ranch / Aikido / Tornado" shirt with the big logo on the back.
Now, we've all likely done many of the above. But, there's risk involved, as you've seen.Proof that your spidey-sense was spot-on.The first guy then asks me if I can spare a dollar. They kept coming closer ... One of them saw [the gun] and they both took off running.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.

I'm not going to say a word about going to the ATM... I'm just glad nothing really bad happened!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his

You've gotten some really good feedback. I'll just add that I'm glad you're safe.

Sounds like you made it through the 'interview'...these guys were NOT planning on some nice conversation.
Being alert is as important as having the weapon.
Stay armed...know your surroundings...stay safe!

Good job on being alert to them. And a good job to your dog! There's a reason they say Jack Russels are so smart!
"Good. Bad. I'm the one with the gun." Ash
I know it was pretty naive of me to walk to an ATM at 9pm...I should have known better. However when you're in the middle of it, you least expect something negative to happen. And then it does.
I wish I was wearing a Marines/Army/Blackwater shirt (I don't own any), I was just wearing my old Microsoft shirt....that pretty much says...yes I am a geek come rob me...you're sure to get an iPod or a Zune!
I am thankful for my Jack Russel to react sooner than me. The incident did shake me up a little bit and taught me a valuable lesson. Next time I drive upto the ATM and make sure the place is well lit and its at a decent hour.

Good to hear everything worked out for the best in this situation. Good dog too, he did his job admirable. Stay safe.
You came home with the dog and the cash. Did not even need to pull the gun and your message got recieved. The sad thing is---- this is the world we live in.
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
GOOOOOD DOG! Your JRT deserved a nice Porterhouse for that! :) Glad you were aware and armed, and that you were able to de-escalate before anything really bad happened.
You can always tell people you're out for one last walk with the dog, the judge ordered him destroyed because he ripped a man's scrotum. Well, that's what I tell people who approach with "funny" vibes. They usually cross the street VERY quickly.
Don't frisk me, I am the weapon.

Your experience highlights the value of an alert dog. I've kept a Jack Russel for a friend on several occasions. I could never own one. I'm not secure enough to live with a dog who's I.Q. is higher than mine.
If your dog is your partner in terms of situational awareness, it doesn't need to be a large, powerful dog. It's your "alarm". Your gun it ready to protect you, should the need arise.
Thanks for sharing your story. Glad it ended well.

Amir's Monologue
Another English assignment.
I have never felt pain so intense before.
Baba's words sliced like a knife through my chest as my lungs contracted and I gasped desperately for air. My chest burned like it does when I hold my breath for too long and my eyes watered from the pain.
My head span; I crawled to my room and collapsed on my bed.
"There's something missing in that boy."
Yes, Baba.
It hurt most the way he'd compared me to Hassan. He blamed me for letting the servant fight my battles. It wasn't my fault the stupid Hazara stepped in! So Hassan could fight, who cared?! A violent nature hardly made up for illiteracy.
Or a harelip.
I stroked the smooth bedframe, another extravagant luxury Baba palmed off on me. The cool sheets soothed me and breathing became easier as the fire in my chest burnt out. Real tears tracked down my face, over my lips and into my mouth, tasting bittersweet. My eyes fogged over as the fire was replaced with a crushing weight.

With dimensions that make this much like an 'all-road' Avalon, the Venza is able to maintain a truly hushed cabin for five. Roominess in back is even better than the Avalon, courtesy of extra recline angle in the back seat and a higher seat base. Overall access is far easier in a car like the Venza, which is unique in delivering an ultra-low floor and step-in height versus many other crossovers. The huge doors make ingress much easier than even the longer new BMW X5, which still has a pronounced rear door cut-out around the back wheel. The Venza is also pretty dashing on the road, with luxury-car width but also a low-roof style versus the Nissan Murano or even the new Lincoln MKC.

A Guest
Robert Witherspoon fidgeted as he sat at the burnished oak bar. He was normally a patient man, never one to fret or fuss, even when business was overwhelming, but this... this was something else again.
He'd sent word to Lord Maycourt as soon as it had happened. He'd been gobsmacked... well, gobsmacked was hardly the word... He'd been stupefied. He'd scarcely been able to believe what he'd been seeing. But there it had been, plain as day, right in front of him.
He did feel just a little guilt at using the word "it". It was, after all, a "she". A frightening "she", to be sure, but a "she" nonetheless. She'd wandered into his inn at about a quarter past noon, looking confused and bewildered, and entirely out of place. The noonday meal was in full swing, and Witherspoon himself had hardly had a moment to spare her a glance, but what bit of his attention had wandered her way had been enough to snatch the rest of him into full alertness.
It had been her hair that had first seized his attention. It was unbound, loose, and cropped at the shoulders. It was also the most intense shade of copper he had ever seen. From the hair his gaze had wandered to her spectacles, such spectacles as he had never seen before, and would be unlikely ever to see again. Not metal, as most proper frames were made from, but something entirely foreign, with a swirling mix of colours much like those on a tortoiseshell cat.
And her clothes... well, her clothes were altogether improper. She'd worn what could only be described as men's attire, with a tailored jacket and trousers. Again, the material... Not wool, not hide, but something else. Something ... he hardly dared to think it ... something sinister.
There'd been no doubt whatsoever in his mind that she was a demon.
From what domain she'd come, he knew not. But what he had known was that his colleagues needed to be alerted. A creature from another realm had invaded theirs, and there were things to be done.
A rustle from above brought his attention back to the present. He glanced around the room. No one was about. Business hours were over, and his guests were all asleep in their rooms. He knew what had made the sound, but he didn't move.
Then, a mere moment later, she was there. Not so sinister now, wrapped in a dressing gown, but still... the hair, the spectacles. He felt his eyes ought to be burning just looking at her.
"I ... I couldn't sleep," she murmured.
He wasn't afraid of her. He found it odd, but he felt no fear at all. If anything, he felt pity for her, and not a little sympathy. She was quite obviously out of her element, and if she had any supernatural powers, she'd yet to display them.
He'd offered her a room without even thinking much about it. Best to keep her near to hand. Heaven knew what manner of mischief she'd find if he let her out of his sight.
"You're not alone in that, my dear," Witherspoon replied. "I am not known for sitting up at my bar in the middle of the night."
She smiled and stepped closer. It was the oddest thing. She had a lovely smile, and a very warm and engaging face. If she weren't so obviously otherworldly, he'd have felt almost paternal towards her.
He blinked hard as he suddenly realized that he felt paternal towards her regardless. He was hard pressed to keep her demonic aspect in the forefront of his mind.
But then, that was probably her method, charming those she wished to victimize. She would probably slice him open at any moment.
But then again, if she had that sort of power over people, surely she'd prevent him from having such thoughts.
He no longer knew what to think. He would have to hold to his notion that she was a supernatural creature in the form of a lovely young woman, and let any new revelations come in their own due time.
"I was just about to put on some tea," he said to her. "Would you like some?"
"That would be great. Thanks."
She used the word "great" as if were just a variation of "good" or "nice". Very odd.
"I must confess, my dear," he said as he wandered towards the kitchen, "that with all the extraordinary happenings of the day, I completely neglected to ask your name."
"Oh," she said, somewhat startled. "I never did tell you, did I?"
He shook his head.
"It's Rebecca."

The Palasip Qaqqaa trail is one of the Classic Sisimiut day hikes, and standing on the peak gives you a 360-degree panoramic view over the sea, the fiords and the landscape around the town. The summit hike to this 550 metre high mountain outside Sisimiut is a challenging hike on the green mountain. But you can enjoy the view of the town and the sea the whole way. During the hike you have a chance to enjoy several species of the local flora and there are also chances of seeing foxes, grouse and eagles. Lately even Musk Oxen have been seen near the top! The hike takes you through a surprisingly fertile terrain with a richness of bushes, flowers and mosses. Along the way there are several small waterfalls with the clearest spring water. From the top of the mountain there is an amazing view over the town in the south and the Kangerluarsuk Tulleq Fjord in the north.
- Duration: Approx. 3-5 hours (Depending on group size/weather condition)
- Level: 4
- Language: English
- Included: Transportation by bus to the start of the hike, lunch packet
- Walking information: This is one of the most demanding hikes we offer, with steep increases. In the beginning of the season, the way up might be wet and still covered with snow

Histomorphometric examination of bone biopsies provides information on bone turnover, remodeling, and structure, which cannot be obtained from other investigative approaches such as bone densitometry and biochemical markers of bone turnover. Recently, there have been significant advances in histomorphometric techniques with the use of computer-assisted analysis and the development of sophisticated approaches to assessment of microstructure of bone. The application of these techniques has been particularly valuable in analyzing the cellular pathophysiology of different forms of osteoporosis and in determining the mechanisms by which drugs affect bone. In this chapter we review current methodology used in the preparation and histomorphometric assessment of histological sections of bone, with particular reference to its application in humans.

Vols' McRae heats up while his teammates struggle
Associated Press | Last updated January 18, 2013
Tennessee guard Jordan McRae is on a roll in the Southeastern Conference. So are the Volunteers, just in the other direction. The Vols have not been able to capitalize on the best stretch of the junior's career. He has scored 20 or more points in four consecutive games, all Tennessee losses. The Volunteers have dropped their first three Southeastern Conference games for the first time since 1997-98. The Vols (8-7, 0-3 SEC) will try to avoid going 0-4 in conference play for the first time since 1993-94 on Saturday when they host Mississippi State (7-8, 2-1). Meanwhile, the 6-foot-5 McRae leads the SEC with 23.3 points per game in conference play. McRae is the first Tennessee player to score 20-plus points in four straight games since Chris Lofton in 2008.

Welcome to The Queen's Club
Determined Del Potro joins star-studded line-up at Queen's
The Olympic silver-medallist Juan Martin del Potro is the fourth Grand Slam champion to join the Aegon Championships line-up at The Queen's Club, adding his name to those of World No.1 Andy Murray, 14-time Grand Slam title winner Rafael Nadal and the reigning US Open champion, Stan Wawrinka.
Del Potro, who narrowly lost out to Murray in the Olympic final in Rio last year, and then gained revenge a couple of months later in the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas semifinals before leading Argentina to glory in the final, can't wait to return.
"I am so happy to be coming back to the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club. It is a great event, to me a very traditional moment of the calendar, such a nice place to play in front of fans that have always been nice to me. I have some very special memories from reaching the Wimbledon semifinals in 2013, winning the bronze medal at the Olympics in London 2012, and playing the Davis Cup in Scotland last year. The people were good to me even when I was playing Andy (Murray)! I want to try to bring my best tennis to the grass at Queen's this year and if I do, I think I can make some good results."
Aegon Championships Tournament Director Stephen Farrow, said: "Juan Martin is hugely popular both on and off the court and we are delighted that he is returning to the Aegon Championships. Everyone knows what a brilliant player he is, and he showed in the Olympics and the Davis Cup last year that he can still take on and beat the very best players in the world."
The Real Tennis World Championships 2018
The Queen's Club is proud to announce that we will be hosting the Real Tennis World Championships in April 2018. Camden Riviere will be defending his title for the first time, but the challenger is as of yet to be decided. The elimination process begins early next year, so watch this space!

National University of Singapore, Singapore
To ascertain 6-month post-discharge rates of hospital readmissions and mortality and evaluate factors predicted of re-hospitalizations and mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 155 patients with moderate to severe COPD who were admitted for acute exacerbations to two large general hospitals, and determined hospital readmissions and mortality for AECOPD during a 6-month follow up period. Information on potential risk factors, including socio-demographic characteristics, clinical and functional status, patient care, and quality of life (St George quality of life, SGQOL) was collected during hospitalization.
During the 6-month post-discharge period, 76 patients (49%) had at least one hospital readmissions, and 21 (13.5%) patients died. Multivariate analysis revealed that hospital readmissions were predicted by previous frequent readmissions (OR= 5.12; 95% CI: 2.52 to10.42) and FEV1<45% predicted (OR= 2.16; 95% CI: 1.07 to 4.39); worse Symptoms Score of SGQOL was shown to be a significant predictor of readmissions in univariate analysis but not multivariate analysis. Mortality was significantly predicted by previous frequent readmissions (OR= 5.13; 95% CI: 1.51 to17.37), older age (OR= 4.43; 95% CI: 1.27 to15.46), FEV1<45% predicted (OR= 3.28; 95% CI: 1.00 to 10.72), and poor patient compliance (OR= 3.47; 95% CI: 1.03 to 11.65). Univariate analysis also showed that mortality was significantly predicted by lower BMI and psychiatric disorder, but they were not significant predictors in multivariate analyses.
Readmission and mortality for COPD exacerbation were predicted by disease severity, psychosocial and health care factors.
Modifications of these factors are potential methods for the decrease of mortality and hospital readmission in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.

Hi Everyone -
I thought I would share my experience with SwagBucks for anyone looking for information or reviews from someone who has had experience with the site.
For those who don't know - you earn SwagBucks points by playing
games, searching the web, answering surveys, watching videos, completing tasks, etc. which you can then redeem for e-gift cards such as Amazon,
Sephora, and Starbucks.
I've been on the site for a little over a week (very actively) and have had a good experience so far. I just requested to redeem 1000 points for a $10 Sephora e-gift card (which can be redeemed in-store
like a regular gift card *but not online* for Canadian residents)
1 point = 1 cent so depending on how much spare time you have, it can take a little while to rack up a lot of points but if you're bored and/or have extra free time, I think it's a useful way to earn a little extra $ :)
Here's a referral link if anyone wanted to check it out :)

I was interested in this so thanks for the info. You sure would need some time to be dedicated!
|- on Aug 28, 2014 @ 02:32 pm
Yes absolutely it can be time consuming - but doing a survey or entering their daily poll here and there can definitely add up.
I am interested in trying out "Super Points" too but it doesn't look as reputable.
|love swagbucks! on Aug 28, 2014 @ 08:17 pm
I really like Swagbucks too! I tend to my surveys and polls in the evening while relaxing dururing cvommercisl breaks of shows! I spend about 25mins/evening and an doing OK with my points!!! I'm saving myngift cards for stocking stuffers!
|Not worth the time you spend. on Aug 31, 2014 @ 06:38 pm
If you have a lot of time on your hands this might be a good thing, but if you actually work out the per hr pay off I'm guessing it is less than $2/hr. You'd be better off doing some freelance work.
This is not a judgement, just a relisation after spending a month on swag-bucks.

Interview With CA's HCD Director
"Q. What is it going to take for California to reach the 225,000 housing units per year it needs to keep up with population growth, and remain there on a consistent basis?
Cities, frankly, need to say "yes" to housing more often. In addition, cities need creative incentives to help them do this and critical transportation funding provided by Proposition 42. They need to know that they will have the revenue required to provide the services and infrastructure generated by new housing. But fundamentally, each of our cities must plan to take care of its own population growth and jobs creation."

Should we forgive a genius his sins simply because he is a genius? Kevin Pietersen, a South African who plays in England's cricket side, issued an apology to his English team mates earlier this week from a hotel press conference in Colombo.
It related to "provocative" text messages that he sent to the South Africans he was meant to be playing against in a Test match during the summer. The England and Wales Cricket Board accepts that he said "nothing derogatory" about then captain Andrew Strauss; but so inflammatory was his behaviour that England had to drop him, his international career nearly ended, and he is now embarked on the sort of "reintegration process" usually reserved for ex-offenders.
That he is a genius is clear. Ironically the word "genius" comes from the Latin for "guardian spirit", something Pietersen may be in need of. As a batsman he has been among the most dazzling players in the history of the game, capable of brutally destroying any bowler and timing the ball exquisitely.
But he also appears to have ready access to a professional self-destruct button. Earlier in his career, he left his post as England captain after another falling out. Which brings us back to my opening question.
Being a constant sinner is not a necessary condition of being an exceptional talent. That is, it is possible to have exceptional talent and also be virtuous. Bertrand Russell, though an adulterer, was remarkably decent, and certainly a genius. Albert Einstein was prone to tantrums – aren't we all – but also extraordinary acts of kindness. Rabindranath Tagore was a polymath who reshaped Bengali culture, and devoted countless hours to the poor.
And yet, as Walter Isaacson's magnificent biography of Steve Jobs relates, we often forgive the vices of people with rare talent, preferring to luxuriate in their greatness. This, if you think about it, is a moral failing: just because someone is powerful or talented doesn't mean they operate in a different ethical universe. Genius is no warrant for the suspension of right and wrong.
This is personified in another contemporary batting great, Sachin Tendulkar. The greatest batsman of the modern age, who has scored more runs in Test cricket than anyone else, is a model of virtue. He treats players and officials with decency and charm, campaigns against poverty, and is now an effective politician. He didn't fall out with two captains or send "provocative" text messages. He's a genius and a constant hero.
What's more, he's scored more runs than Pietersen, and actually plays for his country rather than a bunch of gullible foreigners with a stiff upper lip and a vacancy in the batting order.Reuse content

Unspoken WordsMature
So there's this thing I haven't said,
I honestly couldn't confide.
This secret's locked inside my head.
I no longer want to hide.
I want to be with a woman,
A woman who I know well.
These emotions are only human,
Simply ones I cannot tell.
I cannot wait to get away,
To meet some other guy or girl,
So I can forget I want her this way,
And let new feelings unfurl.

Kylie has the yacht, the villa and the model boyfriend
For a cultivated follower of fashion, Kylie Minogue has made an unexpected choice for a Spanish holiday home. She has spent an estimated £450,000 on a secluded villa with a swimming pool and sea views in Tossa de Mar, significantly less fashionable than resorts such as Marbella, Sotogrande or Estepona.
The purchase proves her infatuation for New York model Andres Segura, whose Spanish father owns a bar-restaurant there. "Kylie has also bought a yacht and Andres has been teaching her to scuba-dive," reports a pal. "She has also been helping his sisters, Sonia and Sylvia. They have been getting the bar up and running smoothly."
Ms Minogue already owns a family home near her Melbourne birthplace and a South Kensington mansion-block flat in Drayton Gardens. Previous boyfriends, including the late rock star Michael Hutchence, actor Olivier Martinez, photographer Stephane Sednaoui and model James Gooding, never became live-in lovers.
Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz, currently starring as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar Theatre, is now able to enjoy the four-bedroom Primrose Hill house she recently bought for £3.5 million.
The Cambridge-educated, Hungarian inventor's daughter was raised in nearby Hampstead Garden Suburb. But in 2001 she moved to New York where she now lives with her fiancé, US film director Darren Aronofsky and their son Henry in a $3.4 million East Village town house.
Theatre director Sean Mathias, on first meeting her as a young actress, drooled: "If she can turn a gay man's head then the heterosexual boys are in real trouble. She was just so sexy."
If only walls could talk. Property developer John Hitchcox has entertained girlfriends such as Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson and Caprice as well as top designers Philippe Starck, Jade Jagger and Kelly Hoppen at his sumptuous hi-tech Notting Hill home.
© Oliver Lim
But his attempt to sell the huge Westbourne Grove bachelor pad, with its swimming pool, gym, cinema and music studio, for £7.5 million through Strutt & Parker has failed.
"John had one big offer that fell through and has now decided to withdraw it from the market," reports an insider. Dubbed the Prada of the property world, Hitchcox
co-founded the Manhattan Loft Corporation and the design and development group Yoo.
Not many London flats can boast of having had two musical legends as former owners. But Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams both lived (at different times), in a snazzy three-bedroom apartment in The Belvedere, the flagship tower at P&O's Eighties development Chelsea Harbour.
© Mark Large
Now for sale at £3.95 million through Knight Frank, the flat has triple-aspect views over the Thames, Wandsworth and Chelsea, two balconies, a home cinema, a Crestron lighting and media system, two underground parking spaces and
24-hour porterage.
It would suit a Hollywood star - Michael Caine lives above - or anyone seeking a statement address and the chance to park their yacht in the marina below.

Internal Debate (Marcus)
[Author's Note: This happens after "Eveining Respite" in Phoenix Rising. One could say I'm psycing myself up to enter the brain of my matermind General, but for r I'm just trying to figure out Marcus and why he's as annoying as he is.]
Marcus stared at Smith's back stunned. How could he, no she, be so flippant? It still boggled his mind that Smith was female. He turned back to his bed scowling and shucked his armor. The female bit explained some things, like why he, no she, never joined in the bathing and the way she called them boys. Boys! He was nineteen for the Gods sake, and a man.
"I think Smith has the right idea." Reed's statement broke into his thoughts.
Kirk and Aaron extinguished the scones as Marcus rolled into his bed. He stared at the ceiling upon which rain had started to fall. Well that would make a mess of the trekking tomorrow, he thought, wondering how Smith would do. He'd seen him, no she, Marcus corrected himself yet again, find her warrior way during sword to sword. They'd brought Phoenix over to break her trance.
How much did Sergeant Phoenix know? Smith had mentioned she had hidden nothing from him. She didn't seduce him to get him to recommend her to Scouting? That was impossible. It went against everything that he knew about Phoenix. He was a Lord's son, his father a cousin to the King himself, his Mother the best Madame trainer of the kingdom. He was told to be fair and honest, and though some resented his quick rise, Marcus heard more about how deserved it was. In fact rumor had it he had been captured by General Wholowski and had come back, with his men, all of them.
Marcus furrowed his brows. So how did Smith get a recommendation from Phoenix? He'd seen the pride in the Sergeant's face the moment before he stepped in to break her from her warrior way. She was good in sword fighting at least. He hadn't seen her in hand to hand and he knew her archery was pitiful. Rolling onto his side Marcus sighed. She had bested him, veteran Hopeful of three years, under a Willow. A Willow with an audience? Did the Gods have to be so cruel?
Why where you so cruel to her? A soft and gentle voice whispered in his mind. Marcus sat up and listened to the rain and the sound of his mates sleeping. His eyes flicked to Smith. What if he took his dagger and gently ripped her shirt? When she rose she'd expose her bindings. Then Reed, Aarron, Kirk and London, the traitor, would know who they had become friends with.
Marcus silently climbed out of bed, slipping his dagger out from under his pillow. He crept the couple steps up to where Smith slept in the middle of the room, the only place they had been able to put a spare bed. Very carefully he pulled back the covers. Smith snorted and rolled over in her sleep. She was now facing him, her face peaceful in sleep. It was a perfect opportunity. He readied the dagger and gently tugged her shirt away from her body.
Do not do it! Marcus froze at the commanding voice in his head. He looked at his hands, ready to befoul a woman. What was he doing? Marcus stepped back, suddenly horrified. He had pulled all those pranks to assert his authority and the fact that he ruled the Hopefuls. He'd gone further in his pranks than any before because she would not acknowledge his rule.
So why did the others follow her? He was the one with experience? He was the one with a noble birth? Smith was a nobody from a place no one even heard of. Probably a cover up for an ignoble birth. Marcus stepped forward again.
"Jay," Smith sighed and rolled over again, somehow managing to take the covers with her.
Marcus scowled and went back to his bed. Throwing on a pair of pants he left the room. A woman should not be a Scout. He stomped down the stairs and out of the barracks. Rain fell upon his head, quickly matting his hair to his head as he marched to Commander Josiah's house. But when his feet finally stopped Marcus found himself underneath the training grounds Willow.
He looked up into the braches that seemed to glow slightly. Smith was a better leader wasn't she, despite the fact that she was female. And he, he was just a failure. He ought to have become a Knight, but the Grand-Pairents had deemed his faith was not strong enough. Now he was approaching his third year of Scout training. If he failed this year he would have to go home in shame. A nobleman's son who was not even good enough to defend his own King.
Marcus sunk to his knees tears mixing with the rain on his face. He hated Smith for making his short comings obvious. Hated her for being female and then being better at skills only a man should have.
We would tell you her story, the soft gentle voice spoke to him, that you might understand, but the time has not come for that.
Nor likely will, the deeper commanding voice spoke to him, for your paths are separate.
Keep faith child, the gentle voice comforted him. You have not failed.
Yet, the deep voice warned him.
Marcus looked up into the branches of the Willow tree and the light that had seemed to shine from them when he arrived had gone. Slowly he stood. Smith had said she was here because of top secret King's business, though he did not understand her phrasing. Now it seemed to be the Gods' doing. Marcus stepped forward and placed a hand upon the bark of the Willow.
Had that really been the Gods speaking to him? He, the one who had not had enough faith to become a Knight? He thought they only spoke to the Grand-Pairents. The tree seemed to rustle with laughter and he looked up its trunk. Suddenly his cheeks felt hot, they knew about Smith. He had not yet failed, and he would not fail.
Marcus turned and marched back to his bed a new resolve formed in his mind. He would pass the trials and he would do it on his own without cheating in any way. Forget Smith, she had nothing to do with this.
I will prove myself worthy, just you wait and see. I will not fail, not this time!
[The Gods and Elorithryn converse about the above passage]
Oh dear, the Great-Grand Moyther looked worried as she gazed upon Marcus, that was not the reaction I was expecting.
Me neither, Elorithryn muttered as she sat between the Vervellian Gods. I suppose I ought to have. I mean he was created as a bully and you have to admit he couldn't just go suddenly accepting Sarah just because she bested him in a wrestling match and pretty much outdid everyone in sword fighting.
The Great-Grand Fayther chuckled. You've got some rewriting to do in the next few chapters now.
Yeah, Elorithryn sighed, but I think Marcus will be a much more believable character now. It's hard to keep all your personalities from become mine you know.
The Gods smiled and gave her a kiss to the forehead like parents before disappearing to where ever it was they lived in her head.

Winner of ITV's Show Me The Funny, this half-Iranian, half-Middlesborough comic is a rising star on the comedy circuit. Full of an insatiable lust for life, his exuberant comedy greets the audience like a sex-starved spaniel would greet a trouser leg.
In 2012 he took part in Let's Dance for Sports Relief on BBC, won Best Newcomer at the Loaded LAFTA Awards and Forth Radio Best Stand-Up People's Choice Award for his hit show 'Hug Me I Feel Good'. He played the role of the dastardly Captain Hook in 'The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan' at the Worthing Pavilion from December 2016 to early Jan 2017.
A natural-born performer, he exudes charisma from the stage (and often off it, when he scuttles into the crowd...!)
'High energy and conviction, his material is great; he's going to go far' (The Sunday Times)
'Omid Djalili meets Dave Allen' (Daily Mail)
'Monahan possesses the rare ability to be hilarious without being outrageous' (Three Weeks)
'The same mix of control and on-stage charisma as a young Alan Davies' (The Herald)
'Monahan is a supremely engaging performer, adored by his audiences and capable of some terrific comedy' (The Scotsman).
Patrick Monahan was placed in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians 2016.

Book Summary
This brief summary describes what I consider to be the most important and interesting findings of our book -- that is, what in fact are the Critical Links reported in recent research. I will also comment on what I see as the most important implications of these Links for educators and for the future of arts education.
There are at least three ways to grasp this book -- one is obvious: the book is a guide to research on learning in the visual arts, music, drama, dance, and programs enlisting multiple art forms. Scholars summarize more than 60 studies and outline the contributions to knowledge of each. In addition, two expert researchers offer comments on each study. Each section presents an interpretive essay, and the book offers a concluding chapter on general issues surrounding the transfer of learning from the arts.
Another path through the work traces the many skills which the arts touch and cultivate -- skills that show up as outcomes in more than one art form: such as literacy, mathematics, and science skills along with student motivation and social competence.
And another take on Critical Links comes from its insights regarding for whom the links between the arts and human development are in fact the most critical. I refer here to a clear focus in many of the compendium's studies on children at risk -- the millions of children in America's urban centers and children in poverty across the nation.
The arts and children at risk. Critical Links shows two clear streams of outcomes for economically disadvantaged children. One is a set of effects related to reading skills -- basic reading comprehension for children who have in fact been left behind. An added set of effects for these children is increased achievement motivation. While motivation to achieve in school comes in various forms in the literature and across the compendium's studies, probably the most central is a tendency for the arts to promote both certain competencies for children who struggle across the curriculum as well as genuinely grounded feelings of competence and engagement. Feelings of competence and engagement can impact outlook and approach to schoolwork more generally -- and research on the arts finds impacts showing both increased attendance and fewer discipline referrals. And the limited number of studies we found addressing special needs populations show that arts activities associate with particularly important outcomes: writing and reading skills, oral language skills, and (of great importance to struggling learners) sustained attention and focus.
Going back a step in this trilogy, the beneficial effects of the arts just outlined for children at risk -- along with additional links -- are reported for all children learning in the visual and performing arts. And school communities which infuse their curricula and orientations to teaching and learning around the arts have experienced broad-reaching outcomes. The scorecard is necessarily long -- Critical Links identifies no fewer than 84 separately distinguishable, valid effects of the arts when we differentiate among groups of children who benefit.
Effects in what areas of learning and development? The most expansive areas where the arts pay off are these: first, in basic reading skills, language development, and writing skills. Increases in general academic skills also show up and would appear to reinforce these specific literacy-related developments. Here we refer to focus and concentration, skills in expression, persistence, imagination, creativity, and inclinations to tackle problems with zeal. In addition, a wide range of social skills accompanies learning in the arts and engagement in arts activities. These are the sorts of skills and behaviors that, in their absence, parents and teachers have been seen to tear their hair out: positive social behavior, social compliance, collaboration with others, ability to express emotions, courtesy, tolerance, conflict resolution skills, and attention to moral development.
When parents are polled about what they hold most dear for their children, what do we find? The cultivation of decency, integrity, cooperation, and both leadership and followership time and again rank foremost. Similar sentiments surface in polls such as the Pew Charitable Trust's well known report, What Employers Want. Social development and academic advantage -- these are healthy dividends from the pursuit of lives rich in the arts.
Specific contributions of the visual arts, music, drama and theatre, and dance. As we might suspect, specific art forms associate with unique clusters of outcomes. This is only natural given that theoretically, the differing cognitive and social experiences tied to, say, music on the one hand and drama, on the other hand, would be expected to lead to different developments for children. And they do.
In the broadest of brushstrokes, Critical Links shows that comparatively large numbers of studies have trained their lenses on music and classroom drama -- and our understandings of academic and social effects in these arts are relatively mature. In contrast, there are fewer studies which inform us about the impacts of dance and, perhaps curiously most under-examined, the visual arts.
Music's impact on human development became the object of great attention in the research and education over the past 5 or 6 years. If a generalization is permitted, Critical Links shows us that learning in music, taking varied shapes and forms, can have very important impacts on what can only be called a fundamental cluster of brain functions -- namely spatial reasoning and what researchers have begun to call spatial-temporal reasoning. These terms refer to understandings of relations of ideas and objects in space in time. It would be difficult to find a set of cognitive skills more important for how we humans go about our lives.
Nearly 3000 published studies involving spatial reasoning, many coming from scientific inquiries related to artificial intelligence, show unambiguously that spatial skills impact very basic human capacities -- understanding spoken and written language for example. We comprehend the words we hear and read in broad contexts which establish their meaning: this is a spatial reasoning process. Spatial reasoning is involved in many other things we value -- the ability to plan most anything, solving mathematical problems, and creative scientific processes. Albert Einstein has held forth on the vital place of spatially manipulating mental images in his world-changing revelations.
Drama in the classroom has also attracted wide attention among researchers. Here we witness a concentration of studies of very young children -- kindergartners and preschoolers to third or fourth graders. These studies track the effects of dramatizing stories or texts on children's understandings of such stories. Drama shows consistent effects on narrative understanding as well as on component skills: identifying characters, understanding character motivations, reading and writing skills, and interpersonal skills such as dealing with conflict. Drama (or theatre) at the middle school and high school levels has received scant attention from researchers.
Dance, in contrast to music and classroom drama, does not lend itself well to experimental research and has received less attention in the academic world. Available studies have leaned heavily on probing dance students and dancers to surface what they experience as the consequences or impacts of learning in dance. Dance contributes to increased self-confidence, persistence, social tolerance, and appreciation of individual and group social development -- the sorts of effects one might expect from ensemble learning. Researchers have also observed indirect links with dance in the realm of creative thinking -- originality, fluency, and flexibility. Dance also shows ties to creativity in another form of expression, namely poetry.
Visual arts. The visual arts and especially painting probably comprise the image that first pops into a listener's head when hearing about the arts and learning. But the visual arts turn out to be quite unexplored territory -- the researchers compiling Critical Links identified only four studies in the visual arts -- individually attending to quite different issues and carried out through quite different methods. Here we see only preliminary indications of impacts: that drawing is an effective communicator of learning in history and contributes to organization and persistence in writing -- training in visualization contributes to reading skills -- reasoning about visual art seems to transfer to reasoning about science -- and instruction in visual art increases reading-readiness among preschoolers.
Implications. What seem to be the main implications of this volume? First -- the accumulated research of skilled scholars carrying out their work in a range of established methods is unambiguous: the arts contribute in many ways to academic achievement, student engagement, motivation, and social skills. Notions that the arts are frivolous add-ons to a serious curriculum couldn't be farther from the truth. While education in the arts is no magic bullet for what ails many schools, the arts warrant a place in the curriculum because of their intimate ties to most everything we want for our children and schools. Critical Links identifies many arrows pointing in positive developmental directions.
While it is fashionable and valid to focus on the academic and social effects of the arts (and this volume unquestionably bolsters such a fashion,) acting on the basis of the findings and conclusions of Critical Links could have the effect of reversing an important equation. An expansion of arts programs in the schools could lead to a generation with greater skills and interest in the arts than today's young adults who came through rather arts-starved school systems--- i.e., to a society that supports the arts for many reasons, including the aesthetic. Any worries that interest in the non-arts benefits of the arts somehow undermines the "true place" of the arts in our society could prove completely wrong-headed. Expansion of the arts for some of the beneficial reasons supported in Critical Links could fold back and contribute to an America more widely interested in and supportive of the arts.
