Following on from the hysterics of Sherlock's "resurrection" on New Year's Day, things were decidedly lighter - well, as light as it gets on this show. It was John and Mary's big day and Sherlock was charged with the role of best man. Sherlock Holmes and weddings. Who would have thought it?
Unlike the usual open and shut case, this week was made up of a compelling series of vignettes told via Sherlock's unorthodox best man speech. All the strands were delicately woven together by writer Stephen Thompson to create a strong story.
Thompson previously penned both The Blind Banker and The Reichenbach Fall. Just like those two instalments, the murder mystery elements were done well and kept viewers and wedding guests on the edge of their seats until the end.
The Sign of Three melded comedy with drama wonderfully, seguing from murder to matrimony with any disconnect. One moment a toast was raised to the happy couple and the next John, Mary and Sherlock were trying to talk Sholto out of killing himself.
Watch: Sherlock finale 'His Last Vow' trailer
Benedict Cumberbatch played the high-functioning sociopath super-sleuth with aplomb, treating viewers to an inebriated version of the detective – complete with falling asleep on a client's rug midway through an investigation before vomiting on it. Yes, even world class consulting detectives get a bit squiffy sometimes.
The dubstep remix of the Sherlock theme simply added to the overall skewed, beer goggled effect. It was not his finest hour but if Sherlock ever went to Ibiza, this is probably the state he'd end up in or worse given his history with drugs.
Sherlock the drunk was a welcome change to the usually slick, unshakable detective. But wait, there was more. The bromance hit an all-time high, even if it was John and Mary's big day. In a Sherlock first, John admitted to loving his best friend albeit in a platonic way – those hoping for the Watson/Holmes hook-up may be waiting a while yet. Plus fans already saw the Moriarty-Sherlock snog.

Despite his revulsion to any sort of sentiment or nostalgia, Sherlock's speech was at times quite touching and he revealed just how much John means to him. This is the most we have seen the pair express their feelings for one another, usually they are too busy saving the day to let something as trivial as emotion get in the way. Only Mrs Hudson really picks up on their deep friendship and comically misreads it.
While it is not the strongest story of the Sherlock saga, the writing is just as sharp and fresh, with the mind palace element toned down a few notches. The Sign of Three was packed to the rafters with wit and comedy. There was plenty to leave viewers howling with laughter, mainly thanks to Sherlock's general apathy towards humankind.
With the sunlight hitting his face, Sherlock looked positively corpse-like and out of place among all the festivities and smiles. Sunshine and happiness are not his strong points, unless it's a piercingly bright winter sun and a wry, knowing sneer with a curled lip.
It was relief to see Sherlock don the coat once more, pull up his collar and return to Baker Street. After this brief, bright-ish interlude, the tone will no doubt darken again for next week's finale.

The Myth.
The next day, Faith knocked on James and they went to the Field. They approuched the Caravan.
'Its said, if you pick a lilly and throw it in the little pond. if it turns pink it means you've found your true love.' James laughed.
'Where did you find this out?' Faith asked confused.
'There.' James answered, pointing at a slightly rusty sign post digged into the ground a few feet away from the pond. Faith picked up the Sign. She read it outloud.
'Naiya Field,
Legend has it, If you and your loved one throw a petal each of a single lilly, into the pond below, and it turns pink then you have found your true love. a myth also says if the wind blows south then your going to get married. Not all myths are true.'
'Told you.' James said.
'Come on we are going to be late for school.' Faith said holding out her hand. James takes her hand and they walk through the tall grass once more.
'should we do that? for a laugh.' James asked.
'And what if that myth is true? and it goes pink.' Faith answered.
'Well, then the myths true. and ive found my true love. you never know until you try it.' James said.
Faith didn't reply. They walked into school and went there separate ways.

At the Train Station
Victoria Winters closed her book and stood up cautiously, after the train came to a complete stop, of course. She had reached her destination: Collinsport, Maine. She picked up her only suitcase, and stepped off the train, and onto a dark, damp sidewalk where the film quality was extremely bad. To her surprise... she wasn't the only passenger bound for the tiny little town of Collinsport.
A tall, businessy-looking man in an overcoat was right behind her. The train rattled and zoomed away, leaving her alone with him, standing in the dark outside of the train station. She realized that he was purposefully staring at her, but she wasn't nervous or afraid of him. She was too naive to imagine any bad things happening to her.
She waited for him to say something, but he just kept looking at her silently.
"Excuse me," she said after a long moment. "Do you know how to get to Collinwood?"
She had expected of course, a polite response, pointing her in the direction of Collinwood. For where she had come from, everyone was polite, and answered questions promptly, and as accurately as possible. She had much to learn about the world outside of the foundling home.
The man glared at her. He looked like he would be very attractive if he weren't glaring at her.
"Collinwood?" he asked demeaningly. "Tell me, what business does a lovely girl like you have with the Collins family?" He snarled as he said the name.
She didn't fully understand his tone, but she got the general impression that he disliked the Collins family.
"I've been hired as a governess for a boy named David," she answered. "Is there something wrong?"
His voice was commanding and dismissive; a voice that could only come from a true businessman. "The Collins family is nothing but trouble. There's another train coming in half an hour. Get on it and go back to wherever you came from."
Victoria considered these words, and was slightly flustered by them, but she was set in her ways.
"Well I can't imagine that they could be as horrible as all that, but if they are, I'll decide that for myself. Thank you anyway for your concern, Mister --?"
"Devlin." He looked at the camera and smirked. "Go on, then. Go to Collinwood, little governess. And when you see Roger Collins, tell him... Burke Devlin said hello."

I wish there were some metric for rainbow effect and black levels. I had to return the BENQ6000W due to rainbows even though I seldom see them on my well-worn Infocus 4805SP. Probably the 2x brightness and increased constrast made them more visible. In any case I am considering the HD33 but I am afraid it too will have rainbows. It sounds like it has fewer but other web sites claims that they are still visible.

Fore! iPhone Application
By Kickntrue on 9/2/08
Uber Entertainment has partnered with oobgolf to create a native iPhone app- now available in the iTunes store. Like smartSCORECARD we did not create the application but we are partnered in providing course data and integration for stats. What that means to you- is if you have an iPhone you can use Fore! for a slick interface on an application native to the iPhone and still have all of oobgolf's great stat keeping abilities and tracking- uploaded automatically. You can also keep track of all four in your group making scoring easy in one place for betting or just simplicity. If you are the only person in your oob foursome with an iPhone or other data phone it seems like something you should do... for them.
From the reviews and ratings it has received so far it seems people think it's pretty slick. Compared to other golf scoring apps for iPhone it seems that people like it a lot. If there is a downside- it's the price. It is selling for $25 which is a couple bucks more than any other golf app in the store and $25 bucks more than using our own (free) mobile.oobgolf.com.

ForeKris says:
Does the App track tee shot clubs/distances and comments?
ooo27 says:
You can enter per round and per course notes.
ForeKris says:
mobile.oobgolf.com allows you to add comments for every hole. i use it to note if i hit a tee shot fat, or a lousy chip over the green.
birdieXris says:
Slick,yea but i don't see that being a keeper for me. $25 and it does less than mobile oobgolf. Looks neat though
iluv5pam says:
i agree with birdie.
BBakker says:
Uber Entertainment don't do customer service as they have never responded to any of my emails detailing bugs and enhancements to the application. Are they going to make improvements? At least they should update their web site and tell us of their plans. It's easy and quick to use and with a few tweaks it could be top notch, but it seems like they just don't care!
RWILL82 says:
do they make an application for the Blackberry like this? i enjoy mobile-oobgolf, use it all the time, but would try this if they had something like it for the Balckberry
klangdon says:
There currently isn't anything specifically for the blackberry, but we are working on a few options. I believe that smartscorecard.com might work better than mobile.oobgolf.com
choward024 says:
Got anything for the Blackberry yet?
ooo27 says:
BBakker, we've answered every single customer support email we've ever received. We've also released multiple versions continuing to enhance the product. I'm not sure why you'd make such statements.
xxjt123xx says:
I use this app every time I golf and it works great for me. I looked at a bunch of the apps on the app store that were similar to this but this one was by far the best.
vegarafael says:
Does it work with the IPod Touch???
accairo says:
I think its a great app. And yes it does work with the iTouch.
My only complaint is that it doesnt hold several completed rounds. I went on a golfing trip to FL and played 3 rounds. I have an iTouch so I wasnt able to upload the scores after the rounds becuase I didnt have a wifi connection. When I came home and went to upload my scores (and my playing partners scores) I only found the most recent round on there.
Is there any way to get around this?
dtmlefty says:
you can save your round. Afterwards you could have loaded a previous round and uploaded it.
deborah powell says:
This program has become unreliable recently. After entering all of the scores and stats at the end of the round the final score card would not rotate. This has happened on several courses.

Browning 035208211 X-Bolt 22 Inch Hunter 243 Win Bolt Action Rifle. Matte black Dura-Touch finish, matte stainless, detachable rotary magazine, short throw bolt, adjustable trigger, bolt-action.
A New Benchmark in Bolt-Action Design. The bolt-action rifle was forever changed with the introduction of the Browning X-Bolt. The X-Bolt builds on the proven successes of past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements that place the X-Bolt at the top of any side by side comparison. Most notable is an adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger system that offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever.
Nothing works harder than a hunter. When the need calls for a hard-working, rugged and accurate high-powered rifle, the Browning X-Bolt Hunter is the only choice. Its low-luster finish on the solid steel receiver, barrel and Walnut prevents glare and reflection. It has the complete X-Bolt package: crisp Feather Trigger with no take-up or creep, preferred by experienced hunters, a center-fed Rotary magazine, X-Lock System and a soft Inflex recoil pad — every feature combines to make this X-Bolt rifle ideal for hunting deer and elk to varmints.
A step above in good looks. A satin gloss finish provides protection and enhances the natural beauty of the walnut. The high-grade Walnut stock with detailed checkering provides classic good looks.

If you have a chance to stop by the George Caleb Bingham Gallery in the art building on the corner of Hitt and University, make sure you do so. What I really meant to say is – Plan to stop by and see the Larry Show. It runs until August 25th when they will hold a reception from 4 to 6.
Larry, the star of the show, is a model for the art department. He poses for the students to draw, paint, or sculpt him. When I was in school I had the pleasure of meeting Larry and I sketched him in my drawing class. He is such an interesting man.
I don't want to show too much, you should experience it yourself. You'll get a good glimse into Larry's life. And a look at some fabulous art work. It is a collection of pieces from several artists.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. You can call 573.882.3555 if you have any questions. Enjoy!

Dominic Lawson's article (19 June) does not see the true reason that doctors took strike action. This is a dispute about expectation. I have worked for an organisation that 13 years from my retirement wishes to extend the retirement age and change the national insurance contribution without discussion or negotiation. That my final pension will be reduced is a side issue for me, but not for doctors who will qualify with more than £50,000 of debt.
This strike is not about my desire to earn more. It is about the expectation for most of my working career that I would retire at a decent age, having committed the best of my working years to medicine. To ask me to work as a surgeon until I am 68 is ambitious. I may be competent to do so, but I do believe that my best years may well be behind me at that age.
As a consultant ophthalmologist, I can see from the photograph of Mr Lawson that he is myopic. I would guess about minus five dioptres (though the photograph is of too poor quality to be more accurate). He will most likely develop cataracts at a younger age than the average because of his myopia.
His risks of developing retinal tears and detachment after cataract surgery are greater than those of the general population. If his ocular axial length is greater than 25mm, he will have a 5 per cent risk of developing a retinal tear after yag laser capsulotomy, and possible sight-threatening retinal detachment needing surgery. Does he really want his eye surgeons to be in their late sixties?
To talk of "greed" in the headline as the reason for striking is truly myopic. All I want is to see the finishing post in the knowledge that it will not keep getting further away. If, at this stage in my career, the Government would change the retirement age, then how can any medic starting off believe in their future? Why would the best academics undertake such an arduous training? Mr Lawson may have to shop around to find a really good surgeon.
Ayad E Shafiq
FRCOphth, MRCPPaeds, DCh, MA Cantab, BM & BCh Oxon,
The sentiments expressed by Eric Evans are apposite and long overdue (letters, 22 June). Many private sector employees and businessmen work just as hard, in "unsocial" hours, and in just as socially useful jobs as doctors. They constitute a "public service" just as much as the public sector does, and there should be no significant difference in the general terms of employment and pensions between the two.
Had the BMA concentrated solely on the outrageous generosity of top civil service and MPs' retirement schemes compared with their own pension reforms and contributions, they would have enjoyed total support from members and the public.
Instead, they muddied the waters by ignoring demographics, economics, the excessive GPs' settlement under New Labour, the long-term unsustainability of the £2bn "surplus" of current contributions over pension payments and that junior staff will still receive far higher pensions than the private sector can afford for its own staff.

Abolishing GCSEs could improve our foreign languages
By a curious coincidence, you publish on the same page (22 June) an article by Kenneth Baker defending his introduction of the GCSE, and an item reporting European Commission findings that only 9 per cent of our 14- and 15-year-olds can hold a conversation in French, confirming that the English are "the language dunces of Europe".
This juxtaposition highlights a telling fact: the GCSE is the source of the catastrophic decline in modern language learning in this country. The figures for young people studying languages to A level in the UK began to fall following the introduction of GCSE from 1988, and have continued downhill since the early 1990s.
The easy new GCSE produced large numbers of candidates with high grades who opted to go forward to A level. But the transition to A level had not been thought out or provided for, so the same cohorts that had achieved the first successes at GCSE produced high numbers of failures at A level over the following two years.
The demoralising news fed back to succeeding year groups who were put off, and the language decline started there in a vicious circle that has not been remedied despite the modifications subsequently performed on the A-level syllabus.
Now we have the paradoxicalsituation of a GCSE qualification which is virtually negligible from a linguistic point of view, but which is nonetheless associated with high failure rates and constitutes a disincentive to pupils and schools. The syllabus for GCSE is dull and demotivating, as the Nuffield Inquiry pointed out 12 years ago.
Notwithstanding the chorus of disapproval that has greeted Michael Gove's proposals, in the field of language learning at least, it seems to me that scrapping GCSE could well be a change for the better.
Professor David H Walker
BA, PhD, Chevalier des Palmes académiques, Department of French, University of Sheffield
It is hard to believe that we are still struggling with whether, and how, we should teach young children foreign languages. For all the curriculum changes and teacher-training advances of the past 50 years, it is reasonable to expect much more progress than has been achieved.
In 1965, starting secondary school in the impoverished Rhondda Valley, we were taught French by watching slides and repeating tape-recorded French phrases spoken by French people. The phrases were all useful conversational subjects, not just verb conjugation.
We spent a couple of years doing this before we saw a single written French word. Our accents were impeccable and subsequent learning more than made up for the early lack of grammatical understanding. This, after all, is how children learn their mother tongue.
How is it that our children can't expect the same quality of learning as a state school in a high area of unemployment 50 years ago?
Allan Jones
London SE3
Your correspondents argue that languages are variously too hard for study, irrelevant or not for us, the splendid English. My wife, teaching an elementary German class, was told by one young man, "I only need three words of German, 'Ich spreche Englisch'". The much-resented Michael Gove is assailing holy traditions of soft optionism and island arrogance.
One learns a foreign language to enter another culture and to make an intellectual effort. In most west European countries, the native literature is cherished, and foreign languages, notably English, learnt shamingly well.
Here, we defer to potential truants who flinch from that effort and know less in every generation of our own literature. The English spoken by the English is increasingly demotic and will eventually make the accurate form deserve the term "classical". Yet the shared assumption of idle pupil and rationalising educationalist is that we are rather too good for the words and structures of pointless foreigners.

Living with a wish to die
I'm a fan of Christina Patterson, so was very disappointed by her article about Tony Nicklinson and his efforts to escape a life he clearly now finds intolerable (20 June).
The usual arguments "it's the law", "you have to suffer for the good of the rest of us", "slippery slope" etc are all trotted out. Ms Patterson says, "sadness ... is the price we all have to pay". This is just not truthful. Within a day or two, this awful "story" will be forgotten by most of us. It's Mr Nicklinson who will pay, and carry on paying.
What Ms Patterson (along with the "life is God-given and sacred" brigade) is actually saying is this: "You are disabled, helpless, that's your rough luck. We're fit and able and can make choices. Therefore you have to do what we say."
How dare they?
Patrick Devlin
Wembworthy, Devon
I fear that Mr St Leger-Davey (letter, 21 June) has overlooked the internal contradiction in his statement that "respecting the freedom of the individual to judge the worth of their own life is a far cry from going around killing everyone we deem to have a worthless life".
If I alone am the arbiter of the worth of my life, then my life has no objective value. In that case, it is open to anyone else to form a judgement that my life has no worth and to take steps accordingly, thus creating the very situation that Mr St Leger-Davey claims does not exist.
J R G Edwards
Birchington, Kent
Henry St Leger-Davey argues that every person has the right to be helped to die, if they decide their life is not worth living but he fails to take account of Indians, like myself, who believe suicide does not terminate your life.
This is because we believe we are trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth we term samsara, until we reach nirvana, or enlightenment. We view nirvana as the only "true" suicide, so all others are futile, and helping someone commit suicide, reflects badly on their karma and prolongs the number of cycles they must travel through.

Who's entitled to exactly what?
David Cameron says many young people on housing benefit have a sense of entitlement. I have friends I would describe as upper middle-class. They also have a dreadful sense of entitlement. They feel entitled to a private education, a place at a top-class university, a nice home, a satisfying job, etc. Yet they do not usually earn enough to pay for these goodies. If Mr Cameron is going to tackle one group's sense of entitlement, he should remember the other.

Farewell freedom
Gone are the days of driving according to the road conditions. In the new world of camera traps and variable speed limits, we must adapt to driving according to arbitrarily imposed speed limits, usually at the behest of local "nimbies". For those of us old enough to remember "the freedom of the open road", it is all a little sad.

Number was up
I am glad Simon Parkinson's 16-times table (letters, 22 June) has served him in good stead. Having 16 annas in a rupee has more logic than the denominations of the Burmese kyat under Ne Win, with his love of numerology. He issued 45- and 90-kyat notes. Fortunately, inflation made them redundant before people got used to them.

HS2 is needed
Of course HS2 won't stop between London and Birmingham (letters, 22 June); its main purpose is to remove fast, long-distance traffic from the existing routes. The lines through Milton Keynes and Banbury will still be there, providing faster and more frequent local services, which will indeed tempt people off the roads.

I look forward to hearing what the cost of cleaning up the NatWest/RBS technical problems was, and having the banks' assurance that the entire bill will be met from directors' bonuses and not from my bank account.

NICE recommends VARGATEF in combination with docetaxel as an option for patients with NSCLC of adenocarcinoma histology
3 June 2015 • Author: Victoria White
Following a review by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK, Boehringer Ingelheim's VARGATEF® (nintedanib) in combination with docetaxel has been recommended for use within the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales.
This is positive news for patients with locally advanced metastatic or locally recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of adenocarcinoma histology who have had limited treatment options that have been shown to extend survival after first-line chemotherapy.
Dr Mehdi Shahidi, Medical Head, Solid Tumour Oncology, Boehringer Ingelheim, commented, "We are delighted with this announcement from NICE which represents an important milestone in the effort to extend survival for patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung following initial treatment with chemotherapy. The survival advantage demonstrated by VARGATEF, in combination with docetaxel, has been shown with a predictable and generally manageable safety profile."
VARGATEF has also been accepted for use without restriction within NHS Scotland
NICE has issued a Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) for VARGATEF and, subject to any appeal by consultees, the FAD may be used as the basis for the institute's guidance on the use of the appraised technology in the NHS in England and Wales. Nintedanib, in combination with docetaxel, is the first and only triple angiokinase inhibitor available for EU patients with advanced NSCLC of adenocarcinoma histology after first-line chemotherapy.
Since the launch of VARGATEF in January 2015 it has also been:
- accepted for use without restriction within NHS Scotland, as per its licensed indication
- accepted by the Swedish Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency to be subsidised as a treatment of advanced lung cancer patients with adenocarcinoma in combination with docetaxel after first-line chemotherapy
- assessed by the German IQWiG who indicated an added benefit for the treatment of advanced lung cancer patients with adenocarcinoma in combination with docetaxel after first-line chemotherapy without brain metastases.

Chapter Four: Kissing You!!Mature
To say I was mad when i saw Nevaeh getting kissed but another nigga was an understatement. I was pissed man, I didn't appreciate that shit at all. I mean here I was cleaning her house cooking her dinner and she was outside kissing another nigga !! I hurried up and walked away from that window before I did something I would regret. She came in the house looking all happy and I wasn't, not at all !! I know it was fucked up of me to try and leave her there when she wanted to tell me all that had happen. I didn't wanna hear that shit that's why I said I had to go but she looked all sad after that and I couldn't do that to her. I mean she was always there for me listening to my stories without even a complaint. Well that's cause she don't feel the same way I do so she didn't complain about hearing my stories with them girls. Ugh look at me tripping she ain't my girl so I really need to focus on being a friend and keep my heart out of it. So I told her I would stay and I listened to everything she had to say with an expressionless face.
When she told me she didn't know how to kiss I seen that as an chance to be the first one she kissed and to teach her how to do it but it took me a long time to tell her what I was thinking. I didn't want her to think it was more to me wanting to be the one to teach her. That's why I told her to ask that girl she worked with even though I didn't really mean it. When I finally got the nerve to say it to her I was shocked that she seemed happy and that she agreed to it. I thought she would've been like no we can't do that but then I realized she just thought I was being a really good friend again and stop her from embarrassing herself. I was somewhat hurt she didn't want it for the same reason that I did but I got over it. I hurried up and kissed her before she changed her mind. She caught on real quick and man she was an osome kisser for it to be her first time. Shit she got me hard but I hurried up and tried to put him down before she noticed, that's why I stopped kissing her. I wonder if her candy box got wet from my kisses. Humph I doubt it she aint feeling me like that.
We just sat there looking at each other. She was so beautiful with her lips swollen and her cheeks flushed with her breasts moving up and down. I couldn't take it anymore so I took her mouth in mine again and she kissed me back to my surprise. We sat there tonguing each other down and then I started to rub all over her body. She didn't stop me she just kept kissing me and man I wanted it all from her. She finally pulled away from me and she started to back up.
"Um so how did I do Tonii ?! Do I need more practice ?!"
"Uh naw you were amazing Nevaeh I didn't know you could kiss like that. You kissed like you have been doing it for years. See I told you, you were a fast learner."
She started laughing and so did I. I just sat there smiling at her so she stuck her finger in my dimple and this time I couldn't control myself. I took her finger and sucked on it and then I captured her lips in mine again. She seemed surprised but she kissed me back and I was happy cause I thought she would slap me. I pulled away from her and kissed her on the neck.

Argyle 1 AFC Wimbledon 2 - Report
Argyle 1
Hourihane 7
AFC Wimbledon 2
Midson 42, Appiah 59
by Rob McNichol
THREE was the number at Home Park on Easter Monday – but it was anything but magic.
In the third last game of the season, there were three goals on show, but with two being scored by AFC Wimbledon, it would take an illusionist of the highest order to make positives appear out of thin air as this season limps to a close.
It was the third loss in a row in Sky Bet League 2, a third consecutive loss at home and, on their third ever visit to PL2, a win for the Dons. They have claimed three points every time they have visited Home Park.
Argyle made a bright enough start, scoring through captain Conor Hourihane after seven minutes, but goals from Jack Midson, just before half-time, then Kwesi Appiah, on the hour, saw Wimbldeon home.
As one might have suspected given the nature of Argyle's 4-0 defeat at Bury three days previous, John Sheridan made some sweeping changes. Firstly, the system; gone, after one return visit, was the four at the back employed at the JD Stadium. Instead, three central defenders and two wing backs were to be deployed, as has been the norm in recent months.
It was, though, a back five that had never lined up together before. Veteran defender Paul Wotton anchored the central trio, flanked by Curtis Nelson and Dominic Blizzard. The latter had taken a spot in Argyle's back-line before – in fact he did so on Friday – but it had always been as a result of a reshuffle in the ranks. Matt Parsons, absent of late through injury, took a spot on the left, with Andres Gurrieri on the opposite flank.
Of the back four that started at Bury, three – Neal Trotman, Ben Purrington and Durrell Berry – did not even make the 18-man squad.
Luke Young returned to Argyle's midfield, alongside Conor Hourihane, with Jason Banton acting as the link man between them and forwards Reuben Reid and Lewis Alessandra.
Wimbledon sparked early nerves among Pilgrims when George Francomb swung in a cross that Jack Midson headed goalwards, prompting a smart save by Jake Cole. Moments later, the same duo of Dons attempted to combine again, but a seemingly dangerous ball in by Francomb was cut out before his colleague had a chance for a clear run on goal.
After seven minutes, though, it was Argyle who broke the deadlock. Wimbledon probably felt that they had dealt with an Argyle attack which came along after a lengthy spell of Green possession. A clearance felt to Hourihane, thirty yards out and seemingly with nothing on. It was perhaps a situation where a defending team thinks they have all bases covered, no team0mates available for the man on the ball to pass to – 'Have a go,' you can imagine them thinking, since nine times out of ten the ball will fly into the stands.
Hourihane, though, doesn't score mundane goals, and he calmly curled the ball over a startled Ross Worner and into the net for a spectacular opener.
It was a settler that Argyle needed. There was a notable air of a nervous team at the outset, but also one sent out with a methodology of approaching the game in a calm manner, with an emphasis on passing short where possible. Jake Cole place kicks tended to find a nearby team-mate rather be blasted up the park, although if the direct approach was necessary, Argyle looked to employ it.
The goal certainly signalled the onset of a bright spell for the Pilgrims, but the visitors reminded Argyle of their presence with firstly a neat solo run by Kewis Appiah that saw a deflected shot go just wide, before the same player shot over after a knock-down by Francomb.
Reid, who uncharacteristically was awarded a free-kick by a referee – we haven't checked, but it is the first since about January, we think – was causing a lot of problems for the Dons backline, and a typical bustling piece of action saw him muscle a defender away, keep the ball in play, then arc back to have a shot from the edge of the area. It went wide, but drew enthusiastic applause from the Home Park faithful – and a comment of 'He's good, that lad, isn't he?' from a visiting pressman. That is a sentiment sure to be shared by a few managers this summer.
Wimbledon have a couple of decent players themselves, though, and their front two combined to give them an equaliser as half-time approached. Appiah used a bit of leverage to ease Wotton off of the ball, and in doing so gave he and strike partner Midson plenty of space. A shuffled ball to Midson followed, and he had an easy task of clipping past Cole. Wotton was cautioned for his vehemently pleading his case to referee Keith Hill, but he will not have changed a referee's mind in his previous 489 games, and he was not about to start now.
It meant that Argyle went into the break on level terms rather unexpectedly, though it would be difficult to suggest that Wimbledon, who had created plenty of chances, didn't merit it just a little bit.
Contrarily, Argyle began the second half in control, playing some nice stuff and dictating the pace of the game – so, naturally, it was Wimbledon that notched the next goal. Argyle, with Banton having perhaps his best game since his return to the club, were stroking the ball around, but admittedly not displaying a cutting edge. Still, a move that ended when Reid headed into Worner's hands from a Parsons cross was signs of Argyle showing intent.
Not so. A ball over the top caught novice defender Blizzard unawares, and as he and Wotton scrambled to recover, Appiah withheld their attention and clipped past Cole.
A little like the second goal at Bury, this seemed to impact on Argyle severely. Less a case of the wind being taken out of the sails, and more like the sails taken down from the mast, folded neatly and stored in the harbourmaster's office until August.
Long John Sheridan, looking to inject a little 'yo-ho-ho' into his lost boys, brought on Enoch Showunmi and Max Blanchard, removing Wotton and Gurrieri and switching to 4-4-2. It nearly paid immediate dividends as Alessandra, now operating from the right flank, cut inside dangerously, beat a man and shot goalwards. It was blocked – by an arm, if you believe Lewi - and went for corner, which came to nought.
Banton was removed, possibly limping, in preference for Marvin Morgan, leaving Argyle with essentially four forward on the pitch, but it was to no avail. The woodwork was struck twice in the closest moments – first by Dons substitute Danny Hylton, whose shot hit the post in the last minute of normal time, then by Argyle replacement Max Blanchard, who rattled the bar with a shot saved by Worner.
May 4, frankly, cannot come soon enough.

Glory Forbes

|Glory Forbes
Real Name
Glory Forbes
First Appearance
Rangers of Freedom Comics #5 (June 1942)
Original Publisher
Fiction House
Created by
Pagsilang Rey Isip
Glory was the daughter of an engineer who was designing America's newest bomber planes. She was kidnapped by The Scarlet Crab, a Japanese spy ring, who wanted her father's secrets. They brainwashed Glory to kill her father, but the plan failed, thanks to the help of FBI agent, Randy Duncan. After that horrifying experience, Glory decided to dedicate herself to fighting the Scarlet Crab, and all enemies of American society with Western style justice. Eventually she opened her own detective agency and most of her adventures seemed to take place in California.
Glory was a good fighter, skilled in jiu-jitsu and capable of knocking a man out with one punch. She didn't usually carry a gun (as she was usually undercover), but she was proficient with them. She was a skilled actress and apparently, she was an experienced beauty pageant contestant.

They say the one's we love never leave us. Their bodies may decay and rot, but their spirit will never forsake us.
That still doesn't change the fact that they are gone. It doesn't change the fact that they left a gaping hole in our heart when they left. Even if their leaving wasn't by choice.
Everyone has lost someone special; whether it be a mother, father, brother, sister, grandparent, pets, or friends. We've all experienced the seemingly unbearable pain that comes with their absence. If you haven't lived through this Hell already, you will. Not to sound morbid, but someday, you will have to endure this.
And we all know how this pain works. After the immediate shock, a numbness takes its place. For a few days, you feel nothing. Nothing except the new emptiness that seems to encompass your whole world. Then, after the numbness fades, you start to smile again. You answer when someone asks you a question. Your old self returns, bit by bit.
But we also know that underneath all that 'healing' the pain is still there; still real. And we do our best to mask that because no one wants to see the pathetic, weeping child locked inside.
There are few who have lost someone so close that -- although you remain separate entities -- your souls seem to be one and the same. Few can say that they've lost part of themselves.
I happen to be in that few.
Don't get me wrong; I don't regret what happened. I know -- and He knows -- that this'll make me stronger. Somehow. It's hard to see through the clouds, but there is something good coming after this. I just need the faith to tough it out.
You see, unlike most people, I lost someone who meant more than the world to me. She was truly...divine.

Color choice has a dramatic effect on the "mood" of a project as each culture attaches a feeling or mood with various colors. Depending on where you were raised, the color Red for example may have happy references such as people from China who feel red is lucky. If you were of a Celtic background, you may associate the color red with death.
Notice how the pig, which is pink looks familiar.2013 Tracy Berry
Now notice how the pig in neon green looks very unnatural as pigs are not green.2013 Tracy Berry
As every color has a different meaning to many cultures, it is always a good ideas to analyze the target audience of the project and if you are not familiar with the culture, do some research and find out all you can about use of color in their culture.

J.L. Hinman, one of the contributors to this blog as well as being the author of his own blog, Meta's blog, has written a response to The Tale of the Twelve Officers written by Mark Vuletic and posted on the Internet Infidels website. His response, entitled The Tale of Twelve Officers has been posted on the CADRE's official website (accept no substitutes).
The original essay by Mr. Vuletic, is a parable (or anti-parable) about the problem of pain. It seeks to critiques twelve different Christian responses to the problem of pain by pointing out their alleged inadequacies by positing twelve different policemen who observe a heinous crime and do nothing about it for twelve different reasons. The reasons, of course, attempt to mimic the arguments made by Christian to respond to the very real and difficult problem of pain in this world.
Here is an example of one of the reasons with Hinman's response:
Fourth:[The fourth officer explains his inaction:] "When I first arrived on the scene, I actually drew my gun and pointed it right at the rapist's head," confessed the fourth officer, with a very guilty look on his face. "I'm deeply ashamed I did that. Do you know how close I came to destroying all of the goodness in the world? I mean, we all know there can't be any good without evil. Fortunately, I remembered this just in time, and a wave of such strong nausea came over me when I realized what I had almost done, that it knocked me to my hands and knees. Man, was that a close one."
This is a misapplication of several arguments none of which say that if God stops evil good will be destroyed. I have argued against atheist' views that try to make evil into an essence. Thus, many times they will argue that some contradiction obtains because God is good and evil exits, thus God is contradicted by evil or some such idea. Sometimes they push this to the point of making evil an essential quality. I say evil is not a positive thing. It's the lack of good. But that doesn't mean that in space somewhere there's this big "lack of good" sitting around. The lack of good is in the heart, the human heart, or the attitudes. That is not an argument that evil is in any way necessary to good. The relationship of good to evil is like that of light to shade. Light does not depend upon shade for its existence. Shade does depend upon light.
Absolutely. Consider what the officer (being an analogy for God) is supposedly saying: without evil there cannot be any goodness. Where in the world did that idea come from? Goodness doesn't exist because of evil. Evil, as Hinman correctly points out, has been held for many years by Christian thinkers and theologians to be the absence of good. In fact, Revelation foretells of a time to come when all evil will be destroyed. Does that somehow mean that all goodness will be destroyed, too? Absurd!
While I don't agree wholeheartedly with every point, I think that J.L. Hinman's article is an excellent response to an anti-parable that is given way too much credit for what little it actually does.

Shame is a curse that reminds us of our failures. Whenever I'm brought to my low points, when I remember the people I've hurt and the sin I've committed, shame has its grip on my heart. Those moments tell me I'm a horrible person and I'm not worth loving. I can hear the whispers from Satan, "You can never be forgiven." No matter what I do in my own strength, shame never disappears and it continues to grow as a result of my resolve to defeat it. I am the Hitokiri Battōsai, a man who only kills and has hurt the one he loves the most. With no way to receive pardon, mankind has no hope. However, the free gift of forgiveness from Christ goes deeper than anything and Himura Kenshin's scar on his face symbolizes this same kind of change. Continue reading "You Are Forgiven"
Predestination is our Shelter
"What will become of me for now on? After some time, I stopped thinking about that. Maybe I forgot how to think at all?" (Rin, Shelter)
Spiraling ice glaciers, boundless grass fields and deep ocean waters. Graffiti skies painted with puffy clouds and long horizons water-colored with vibrant suns. This is the virtual world seventeen year old Rin lives inside, built by pixels and computer data. She can create anything her heart desires with the touch pen on her tablet. But as she explores her surroundings, she realizes she is the only one there. She is all alone.
Rin doesn't know who she is or what her purpose is. She lives each day merely passing time, wondering if anything will ever change. She knows there is something more, something greater, but she doesn't know what. One day, however, everything changes. Continue reading "Predestination is our Shelter"
You Are Under My Genjutsu
You are worthless. You are ugly. You are fat. You are lonely. You are an outcast. You are a loser. You are better dead. You will never amount to anything. You will be alone for the rest of your life. You will be an addict forever. You will never be loved. You will always be hated. You will not do anything with yourself. You can cut yourself to relieve the pain. You can masturbate to relieve the pain. You can drink one more glass to relieve the pain. You can pretend to smile to relieve the pain. You can pop one more pill to relieve the pain. You can become busy to relieve the pain. You can escape reality to relieve the pain. You can give up to relieve the pain.
Sin. This is the Genjustu of the Enemy. Continue reading "You Are Under My Genjutsu"
Christians are Kiznaivers
For seven high school students in the summer 2016 anime, Kiznaiver, the sharing of pain is quite literal. Bonded together by a symbol on their wrists through emerging medical technology, every instance of pain experienced by one person is equally split and shared with the rest of the group. This system, the Kinza System, was designed as an experiment to foster relationships between people of different personalities and allow them to connect on deeper levels. Kiznaiver has a colorful pallet of characters with major differences that test the strength of these bonds. "The cunning normal", "high-and-mighty", "goody-two-shoes", and "eccentric headcase" are only to name a few and they must work out their exceeding differences and compromise solutions that would benefit the group.
However, these interactions aren't held together by individual members, but rather the crimson-etched symbol that bonds them all as a whole. Without it, they would not be able to connect with each other. Looking at the premise of Kiznaiver, I find myself experiencing the Kinza System, but on a much deeper level than our protagonists. I would argue that Christians have the strongest bonds of any people and can share pain with each other unlike anyone else. Believers are bound together through Jesus Christ and their bonds extend not only emotionally, physically, and mentally, but also spiritually, one which ties the souls of people together with a deep connection.

Menma and Holy Spirit: Am I Delusional?
It's known throughout the Bible that the Holy Spirit literally seals Himself inside those who choose to believe and have faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:13). He guides our lives to the truth of righteousness and leads us where we need to go, speaking directly from God (John 16:13). However, it is the challenge of every Christian to properly discern what thoughts, emotions, and hunches are from the Holy Spirit and which are not.
I have great difficulty with this in my personal life and struggle with it on a daily basis. Did the Holy Spirit put these coincidences in my life for a reason? Was this feeling during worship the presence of God? Are my emotions being driven by my flesh or by faith? These questions are the ones I am constantly asking myself and it can become very tiring. The frustration of not knowing is uncontainable and brings me closer to insanity. However, after watching episode four of the anime Anohana, I found that I relate so well to protagonist Jintan in his struggles with his friend's ghost and even discovered a principle of faith that Christians can apply to their own lives. Continue reading "Menma and Holy Spirit: Am I Delusional?"
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
*Spoilers to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood*
Suffering has been a part of existence since the beginning and defines what it means to be human. Death, tragedy, and hardship are a part of life on earth and it is something that will eventually come to everyone. However, when suffering becomes unbearable, we immediately look to God, wondering why a loving creator would allow His people to walk through pain. We become angry with God, pointing the finger at Him, and question His will for our lives. Some even deny the existence of such a being because of this reasoning.
In the 2009 Bones anime, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, young alchemists Edward and Alphonse Elric wrestle with the same issue. They themselves have experienced some of the worst pain a human can endure and believe that, since God refuses to help them, they should use their alchemy to solve all their problems. Through their past alchemic mistakes and journey searching for the Philosopher's Stone, the boys learn the truth of suffering. For people in the real world, their stories of tragedy and hardship mirror what the Elrics experienced and unknowing give the same conclusion, pointing directly to Jesus Christ. Continue reading "Why Does God Allow Suffering?"
SAO Relationship Goals
Everyone at one time or another can remember back to childhood crushes in the past! The boys in first grade that pulled your hair and threw basketballs at your face to show their affection, the girls in middle school that turn cherry red sitting next to the boy they like at the lunch table, and the awkward high school couple that have no idea how to properly flirt! These and other exciting situations get two people interested in each other on a level deeper than friendship and gets the heart pumping a million miles an hour! You never know if the attractive other feels mutually about you and it's a fit of emotions to deal with the not-knowing!
However, there comes a point when crushing and gooey feelings transform into romance, something that runs much deeper and matures into something beautiful. Sword Art Online's Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki are one of anime's most famous examples of a couple that display this and provide themselves as an example of what genuine lovers should look like. Even as I start dating, I keep on seeing myself looking back at the protagonists of Sword Art Online and finding relationship goals that I desire to imitate with my girlfriend. Whether a married couple, dating, or a single person looking for dating advice, listening, learning, and loving are three things that allow romance to take root and are evident in Kirito and Asuna's life in Aincrad. Continue reading "SAO Relationship Goals"

Kosovo – Serbia still on Germany's short leash
While the northern Kosovo Serbs have not openly defied Belgrade, the agreement cannot be fully implemented if they don't fully engage in the process. Passive resistance and continued rejection of Pristina's involvement in the north would make it difficult for Belgrade to simply cut the northerners off and would erode everyone else's expectations that anything has really been decided.
Suggested Reading
Conflict Background
By Gerard M. Gallucci
Seems the EU strategy of using "diplomacy" and the leverage of membership has succeeded where Quint past efforts to use force failed. Serbia has imposed on the northern Kosovo Serbs a notional agreement with Pristina and has been "rewarded" with a notional date for membership talks to begin. Brussels gets to claim success – and what Ms. Ashton calls "irreversible" progress – while Germany continues to stand just behind with its Bundestag whip. But little has actually changed on the ground and most details of implementation remain to be determined.
Many of the various agreements between Belgrade and Pristina remain to be fully implemented and important matters – including telecoms and energy – remain undecided. There now seems to be liaison officers assigned to the EU offices in each other's capitals and there is some form of joint boundary management (though it's not clear what role Kosovo Albanian officers play in the north or how they are getting there). A Kosovo (Serb) police chief for the north has reportedly been appointed though it's unclear what level of acceptance he has from northern leaders or how he will interface with Pristina command. The northerners have removed a blockade on the road from Mitrovica to Zvecan while two others remain on the north side of the Ibar. There's no word about the border to be applied to North Mitrovica – the Ibar or some other line? – or about returns and property issues. All that's been said on Trepca North has come from Pristina, which says it will never give it up.
The northerners have appeared eager to not complicate matters for Belgrade. They have not declared autonomy or formally rejected anything. They say they continue to support their government (in Belgrade). But their leaders remain opposed to rule by Pristina or under Kosovo law and institutions. They have also warned that Serbs would not take part in any elections called by Pristina (now set for November). As one official noted, this could set up a situation in which northern Kosovo Albanians do vote and elect their own to lead the northern municipalities that everyone else would then recognize. This would set the stage for conflict that would now put Belgrade on the side of Pristina and lend some apparent legitimacy to Quint efforts to use force against the "illegal" local Serb leaders.
Some in the EU may have favored giving Serbia an unconditional date for membership talks. Some may prefer to see it that way. But it's clear that the date – by the "latest" January 2014 – remains in German hands. They expect full implementation of normalization and dismantling of "parallel structures" before anything can actually start. However, it would be wrong to assume only the Germans see conditions. Brussels and Berlin – with the US in the background – have adopted the old "good cop, bad cop" routine to keep maximum pressure on Belgrade. Ashton and others get to suggest that all is sweetness and light while everyone looks over their shoulders at the Bundestag still holding Serbia's leash. This could, of course, work.
But then again, it may be that this is everyone's way of simply kicking the can down the road. Well, everyone but Belgrade. The EU gets to claim a smashing success at least for a few more months, the US can stop browbeating Serbia for a while and the Kosovo Albanians can claim everything is going fine. As long as the northern Kosovo Serbs are not made to actually do anything with Pristina, they too can perhaps just enjoy summer. But for Serbia, getting a date conditioned on a happy ending leaves considerable uncertainty, not a good thing when your economy is already in the flusher.
None of this is to say that the agreement doesn't offer hope. It provides a solid basis for real local autonomy. Details – such as dual citizenship, voting documents, funding from Belgrade, the UN role – may just need to be clarified. But one must consider other possible scenarios as well. While the northern Kosovo Serbs have not openly defied Belgrade, the agreement cannot be fully implemented if they don't fully engage in the process. Passive resistance and continued rejection of Pristina involvement in the north would make it difficult for Belgrade to simply cut the northerners off and would erode everyone else's expectations that anything has really been decided. A far simpler approach might be to adjust boundaries in an exchange of north Kosovo for Presevo. Why force Serbs and Albanians to live in countries they reject if the lines can simply be moved a bit?
Much remains to be done before January and the northerners need to be brought fully into the process if the EU's desired change is to come peacefully. This cannot just be dumped on Belgrade.
