B Officials eye dams to prevent flooding By Erin Magruder Staff Writer Comal County is leading the pack in its efforts to prevent the devastation of the October 1998 flood from happening again. Comal County Judge Danny Scheel and county engineer Tom Homseth gained regional support for county flood control projects Friday when they met with the Corps of Engineers, Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority and city and county officials at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin. The group provided input into a $500,000 Corps of Engineers Reconnaissance Study that will look at the feasibility of selected watershed projects on the Guadalupe and San Antonio River basins. Homseth presented the preliminary results of a study identifying five potential dam sites that would have a significant impact on flooding in the county and also benefit downstream communities. If the Corps includes the county project in its study, it could lead to federal funding for the construction of the flood dams — which are estimated to cost between $20 and $30 million. The county-commissioned study indicated the dams — four on the Guadalupe River and one on a tributary to the Dry Comal Creek — would reduce water flow at the confluence of the Comal and Guadalupe rivers by 40 percent. The engineering analysis also predicted the dams could contain a flood of the same magnitude as the 1998 flood — which some predicted to be off the charts — to the 100-year flood plain, Homseth said. "If we can keep it down to a 100-year flood, even in an extreme event, then everybody wins," Homseth said. See DAM S/5 A ERIN MAGRUDER/Herald-Zeitung County Engineer Tom Hornseth (left) and GBRA General Manager Bill West (right) discuss five potential dam sites in Comal County.

By Erin MAGRUDER Staff Writer Eight-year-old Jessica Williams and her three-year-old brother Mikel Williams have been missing since Friday evening when they were allegedly abducted from a Comal County residence by their non-custodial father and another man who is a suspected child molester. The two men were last seen about 6:30 p.m. Friday in a vehicle entering the Demi John Ranch offFarm-to-Market Road 311 in the Bulverde area. The above description w as part of a fictional scenario given to more than I OO area search and rescue volunteers Saturday morning who participated in a mock search organized by the Comal County Radio Emergency Associated Communications Team and the Heidi Search Center for Missing Children in San Antonio.

Ms. Goodin
She is an old teacher of mine.
My most influential teacher has been Ms. Barbara Goodin, a very strong and intelligent woman. She has helped me through my emotional problems as well as being beside me when I needed her most when I was given a difficult assignment in almost any class other than her own. Ms. Goodin does her best to be a great role model and to encourage all of her students to be independent thinkers who are relatively honest. One thing I will never forget about my most influential teacher is that being independent and thinking critically is always important in order to honor myself and those I love.
When I first arrived in Collins, Mississippi, I had a lot to learn about the hardships of life. My teachers before had been very helpful and kind. Although my family has been very supportive, there were times when I needed a friend or mentor. I kept on the look-out for the ideal teacher or mentor as I whimsically floated along in middle school. I may have had influential teachers, but none as inspiring as Ms. Goodin.
The first day of Theatre was very interesting. I knew I would have met many new friends, even at the cost of my own personal bubble. Ms. Goodin walked in the room with a dramatic entrance to introduce herself. She began by telling us how she was the mother of two children, both of which attended an opposing school. Ms. Goodin went on to explain that her main career is within the U.S. Military and it would be possible that her absence would be necessary. I examined her just as I did every other teacher. Her very short hair stood erect on her head which was approximately six feet from the floor. Her engaging eyes swept across the room to possibly do the same as mine had been doing. After just a few minutes of having a big classroom discussion about the crooked happenings overseas, and the brilliant style of teaching she displayed I was hooked on Ms. Goodin.
To this day I can honestly say that no other teacher has been able to demand my attention and inspire me to achieve greater things quite like Ms. Goodin has. Although there have been many great teachers to influence my educational career, she has definitely been a mile-stone in my building my own character and independence. If I ever find a teacher who has the aptitude to circumvent my procrastination and inspire me to make myself more of an honorable and independent person, I will always remember him or her. Until that day comes, I will always remember the ever-exciting and spontaneous Ms. Barbara Goodin who, to this day, gets a special thought every once in a while.

Der Hinterhof
At Der Hinterhof, one can find many of the trappings of a typical German beer garden. Patrons toast their heavy steins over long wooden tables, with cheers of "prost" ruffling the flags. But there's also some contemporary party touches, from a ping pong table to snowboards mounted on the walls like crossbones. This is also reflected in the weekend's live music, shifting from acoustic plucking in the daytime to danceable rock, Americana, blues, and reggae in the evening, played on a corner stage on the outdoor patio.
Activities abound both indoors and out, including competing on beer pong tables, passing the dice over beloved board games, and dancing to the live music. Outside, revelers can crowd around blazing fire pits as they sip on pints of four varieties of draft beers under the glow of twinkling colored lights.

The Impress flexible touchscreen by Dis.play gives computers a softer edge -- literally. Instead of the hard, cold touchscreens on devices like the iPhone, the foam Impress is soft and, dare we say it, cuddly.
"It breaks the distance in the relationship of human and technology, because it is not any longer the user which is subjected to technology, but in this case the display itself has to cave in to the human," WhereIsMyFuture.com says.

They don't shoot hostagesMature
"You're my hostages." Said Robert, after a moment's though, "At least that way it doesn't look like you're on my side."
He grabbed my gun before I could stop him, and continued shooting into the corridor. Cindy was still clinging to my arm, but I could see an MP5 lying under the body of one of the dead agents. Shaking her off gently, I scooped up the gun, just as a sniper shot shattered the window behind us.
"Shit! Do you know how to use that thing for long distance targets, by any chance? Or any of you?" Robert was busy keeping the agents ahead of us behind cover, and Rose was clearing the other side with amazing accuracy.
'I guess the 'hostage' cover is slightly blown.' I though, and raised the gun to the sniper across the roof.
He was well hidden, but not well covered. I noticed the flash of sunlight from his sights, and began firing. Over this range the MP5 had poor accuracy, but the velocity was still great enough to do serious damage. After a few seconds I'd hit him three times, firing quick bursts to keep the recoil down, and he collapsed off the roof, falling several floors to the concrete below.
I turned to see Rose gesturing us to follow her. Robert look genuinely shocked.
"You didn't miss a shot." He whispered. I looked over the fallen men briefly, I was impressed.
"Dude, and that's a short-range weapon too. Damn good show."
"Now you see why the FBI are trying to hire me"
She ran to the fire escape door and glanced out.
"Clear." she called, and we crept out, Robert and Rose leading, and me covering our backs. I managed to grab a couple of cartridges for the MP5 from the bodies in the hall before we left, and as we walked carefully down the metal staircase, I fixed the silencer onto the end. No point in getting ourselves too much attention, especially with two wanted criminals in our group.
Another agent appeared at the top of the staircase when we were almost down, Robert and I saw him at the same time, and both fired. My own shot went slightly wide, and hit him in the chest. Robert's struck him right between the eyes. Another man appeared, hearing the gun shots.
"Hey-ho." I sighed out loud, "Here we go again."

It was an ordinary evening, when Grace watched TV and her young tenant roamed around trying to find some pastime.

A Division of Vacations To Go
Speak to a Galapagos
Cruise Specialist
Founded in 1979, Lindblad Expeditions pairs adventure travel with environmental education to create unique experiences. Lindblad's fleet of small ships and innovative Zodiac landing craft allow easy access to distinctive destinations around the globe, with vessels traveling to out-of-the-way places that larger cruise ships can't reach.
The travel style and onboard atmosphere is informal, and itineraries are unhurried and flexible. Daily excursions include short walks, longer hikes, bird-watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, beachcombing and kayaking.
Small, intimate groups of travelers are a key component Lindblad's Galapagos trips, with groups ranging from 30 to 100 guests. The company's expeditions are all-inclusive, as one upfront price covers port charges, shore excursions and meals and gratuities.
In addition to its expedition leaders, Lindblad employs cultural experts, historians and naturalists. Academic lectures, cultural presentations and lively group discussions provide enrichment and entertainment, and each day ends with Lindblad's popular "recap" meeting, allowing travelers to meet with expedition experts, share daily discoveries and compare wildlife photos.
Conservation is a hallmark of every Lindblad vacation. The company seeks to limit the traveler's impact on the environment and has teamed with conservation leaders like the Marine Stewardship Council, the National Geographic Society and the World Wildlife Fund to preserve sensitive ecological areas visited by Lindblad guests.
Galapagos cruises are classified according to the quality and location of hotels and restaurants and the number of included meals and activities. Lindblad cruises are categorized as deluxe on the industry rating scale (budget, first class and deluxe).
Budget = Tours typically range from $50 to $200 per person, per day, plus airfare.
First Class = Tours typically range from $80 to $350 per person, per day, plus airfare.
Deluxe = Tours typically range from $200 to $650 per person, per day, plus airfare.

Easiest way to win in Super Mario Run
When may Mario come to I-phone and I pad: what is Supermario Operate release date? How significantly may Supermario Run price, and which I phones (and iPads) will have the ability to to operate Supermario Run? And how can I install and play Super Mario Run and other Nintendo games on I-phone?
Supermario Run is establishing on I-phone quickly! At Apple's iPhone 7 and I-phone 7 Plus launching event on 7 June, most of the hardware announcements have been leaked in advance. However, the firm had one or more big surprise up its sleeve: Nintendo's gaming icon, Mario, will appear on I-phone by means of of an automobile-jogger game called Super Mario Run.
Until now, Nintendo has stored Mario off mobile apparatus, apart from its own handheld consoles, so it is an important coup.
But when may Supermario Run for iPhone be released in the super mario run free united kingdom, and just how significantly can it price?
Upgraded, 2-4 November, after Nintendo began teasing Mario Operate start using a streak of taster tweets; on 15 November, with all the thrilling news that Supermario Run may found on 15 December (but seemingly maybe not in China?), and the full game may price 7.99 to discover; on 11-Nov, to statement predictions that Supermario Run "may get one-billion downloads" and may propagate "merely as fast as Pokemon Go"; as well as on 30-Sept to talk about the reasons why Very Mario Run may come to I-phone first and Android next yr.
Very Mario Run will likely be released on I pad at exactly the same time as iPhone: on 15 December 2016.
It's a Universal app – one app will continue to work on all suitable iOS devices, so as soon as you down load it for I-phone it's going to become accessible for downloading on I pad. (Maybe not that this makes a nintendo huge difference, because the game is free.) We presume that in-app purchases made on one device will be transferable to other-devices using exactly the same Apple ID, even though this was not supported however.
Supermario Run appears basically exactly the same on the I-pad as on the I-phone – it's performed in portrait mode there Super Mario Run also – even though the style of one-handed perform possibly won't function s O good. Except maybe on iPad mini.

Wickets are expected to tumble at the Rose Bowl, just as it is anticipated that trousers would fall in a Whitehall farce. It's a tradition. For this square has often been marginally less reliable than a rusty second-hand car. So the fact that 16 fell yesterday will surprise no one. In fact they went down so quickly that it was easy to suspect that one had strayed into a tenpin bowling centre.
In the morning Hampshire, who resumed on 345 for five, lost their last five wickets for 43 runs. Then Nottinghamshire, the county champions, were bundled out for 147 in 42.4 overs; Hampshire are 148 for one in their second innings, 402 runs ahead.
The pitch inspectors can put their feet up and enjoy the opening of the World Cup, for there is not much wrong with this surface. Hampshire, after all, scored 401 on it and that is about par.
There was a little uneven bounce but not enough to make a groundsman blush. There was also some swing for the Hampshire bowlers. The bounce was generally lower than the Notts batsmen would expect on the hard pitches of Trent Bridge. But these are all excuses.
The fact is Notts batted like duffers. They have done so all season, for not a single player has reached 300 championship runs and this is their sixth match. They had hoped the arrival of Stephen Fleming might stiffen their middle order. But the captain has scored just 59 in four innings.
Their other overseas player Dave Hussey has managed 170 in nine. Their specialist batsmen have scored one century between them, made by Jason Gallian. Soon they must forget about retaining their title and set about avoiding relegation, something they should manage with ease with their bowling. Hampshire, driven by Shane Warne, look in the mood to replace them as pennant fliers.
Yesterday Darren Bicknell was caught behind, defending, and Gallian was caught at first slip from one that left him off the pitch. Fleming, lbw, might have been unlucky because he got a good stride in and he is a tall man. And so it went on. Will Smith had his off stump plucked out and Chris Read edged to slip as Dimitri Mascarenhas took four wickets in a six-over burst. Mark Ealham was caught behind and Hussey, diffidently half-forward, was lbw. Notts were beginning to look vintage Whitehall material themselves.

Coral Gables Middle Eastern Festival
Middle Eastern Festival from Miami New Times on Vimeo.
The Coral Gables Middle Eastern Festival at The Cathedral of St. George featured food, drink, arts, crafts, and bounce houses. Nothing Middle Eastern about bounce houses, but hey, the kids love 'em. The Cathedral of St. George
has a predominantly Middle Eastern membership, mostly of Lebanese and Syrian descent. This festival serves as community outreach and fundraising. Check out their church. It has great artwork. According to the priest, it was painted by a world-famous icon painter.
They invited me to check out their church any time. I probably won't, but maybe you will. They've got their own kitchen in the building, and if you're lucky, they'll be cooking up some of that Middle Eastern fire.

Manchester United captain Keane, 31, has said he would like to move into management when he retires.
Ferguson told leaguemanagers.com: 'If he wants to do it he'll be an absolutely brilliant manager. No doubt about that.' Keane, who only recently made his comeback after a lay-off following a hip injury, is sidelined for tomorrow's home Champions League match against Basle after picking up a hamstring strain against Leeds. But Ferguson expects him back to face Liverpool next month. Keane has had to temper his customary box-to-box style following his injury problems, although Ferguson has not noticed a significant change.
He said: 'If you look at his performance in the second half of the Worthington Cup final, you couldn't say he's changed much really. The way he took the game by the scruff of the neck was fantastic.' Certainly, Keane's continuing on-pitch presence would be a bonus for Ferguson, who has been told his transfer activity will again be governed by the financial prudence of chief executive Peter Kenyon and his plc board at Old Trafford.
Ferguson continues to check on transfer targets such as Spurs midfielder Simon Davies and Auxerre striker Djibril Cisse, while Sunderland's out-of-contract winger David Bellion and Rennes defender Julien Escude will almost certainly sign.
But, in the wake of previous deals, such as the £30million spent on Rio Ferdinand and £28m on Juan Sebastian Veron, Ferguson will find that United are beginning to cut their cloth to suit their means.
Kenyon said: 'We believe you can't just buy success. There are enough clubs and chairmen who have tried to go down that route and shown that it will fail.' Ferguson has been dealt a snub by United fans after a staggering 87.1 per cent of voters on the club's offical website claimed the team have gone backwards since winning the Treble in 1999. In that time, United have lifted the Premiership twice but failed to repeat their European glory.
* United centre half Rio Ferdinand is facing a six-month driving ban after he was convicted in Leeds yesterday of speeding on the M1 last year.Reuse content

What Is It With Halfling Heads???
I got up, still giggling. Flamara was clutching her sides. I hugged Ara softly, his horn clinking against mine. He was still frowning. I chuckled, and wriggled into Ara's mind, finding and listening to the convosation. I rolled my eyes.
"Typical, ain't it?" Ara whispered. I gave a nod, then a moan. A clumsy presence just fell into my mind.
"What is it with Halfling's heads? They're so full of hot air...."
"Excuse me, I'm technically a Halfling now."
"Oh god, you really are a mini female version of my mange-bag brother."
"Wanna try saying that again? Just remember How much I can hurt people."
"You can't get me from here though. I'm back here with Russalka, Taliesin and Kiara. Kiara's nice. Not like the fluffball."
I mentally kicked him in the leg.
"OWCH! How the hell did you do that?!?!?!"
"I'm me. That's how. Now get out of my head. Before I go get miss SpookofNight."
"Ara's Author."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, before withdrwing from my mind. I could see him running in my mind's eyes, arms waving in the air, sprinting away, screaming like a girl.
"I'm gonna kill his Royal Wetness." I growled, and Ara began to laugh.

Older Investors Raring to Go
October 25, 2010
Feeling older and fully realizing they have to get serious about preparing for retirement, investors aged 50 and above are an ideal target for fund companies and their sales intermediaries.
Once a person turns 50, AARP research shows, they begin to grasp their mortality. And they have wealth they want to put to work. "Turning 50 is significant in people's lives," said Danielle Holland, vice president of communications and research at the Insured Retirement Institute, speaking during a recent AARP and IRI webinar, "Communicating With Older Clients." "Turning 50 is a trigger point in their physical and mental well-being."
And their assets can be the ammunition. "More importantly, this population holds 75% of all investable assets," said Jean Setzfand, director of financial security at AARP. According to MarketResearch.com, Americans have a total of $30 trillion in investable wealth.
Not only are older Americans ready to get serious about their retirement savings portfolios, they are a force to be reckoned with. There are 96 million Americans in this age group, making up 31.3% of the population.
Unretired Boomers cite retirement planning as the top financial advice they would like to receive in the next 12 months. And firms, such as Great-West Retirement Services and the AARP itself, are putting financial advice and answers for the over-50 set online.
Yet this age group expresses a clear preference for gaining that information in a one-on-one exchange with advisers.
While seniors are increasingly receptive to getting initial information via the web, they "still like that personal touch, that handshake, that referral from a friend," Holland said.
Among those within five years of retiring, 60% prefer to consult a specialist when making financial decisions, and 80% expect they will live on income alone, from Social Security, pensions and interest from their investments.
However, they don't know how much they will need or how to save.
That's where fund companies can effectively come in-by making the personal connections that combine awareness of the need and the steps to generate the income, Holland said.
"We have to help clients understand their income needs, and to really understand the difference between variable income, which can be achieved through withdrawal rates, and guaranteed income, which can come from Social Security or annuities, and how to modulate between the two," Holland said.
When dealing with a mature clientele, fund companies and financial planners must start treating each person as an individual, because the 50+ investor has complex needs; a preference for face-to-face, personal interaction; widely different views about what constitutes being old; various definitions of what it means to live "comfortably"; and complex family dynamics, IRI and AARP said.
Not only do adult children increasingly get involved in their parents' finances, but because of remarriages, there are extended families, AARP research shows. Seniors are also more active today, and thus more likely to find a new partner if they have lost a spouse. Complicating their finances even more, there are 4.5 million children living with a grandparent, with 2.4 million of these children relying on them as their primary responsible adult. Older clients also may have assigned someone power of attorney, should they become incapacitated.
"The more information you can gather about your clients, the better," Setzfand said, "because when servicing older adults, you're not just dealing with an individual. The family dynamics have a very important impact on investment goals and decisions and complicate a lot of financial decision-making."
That's why working with older people needs to become more personalized, Setzfand said. "Financial providers are faced with a massive challenge and opportunity," she said. "Traditional products and services, marketing and delivery, relationships and expectations of retirement have to drastically change to more effectively and holistically address the realities that Boomers face."
IRI has developed a life changes checklist of 27 events that affect older people that it recommends advisers to go through each year. These include inheritances, divorce, the marriage of a child, gaining or losing a business partner, and being afflicted by a serious illness.
Further, "older" is a relative term that is defined very differently by various laws and agencies. Older can be an actual age, a social status or a frame of mind. For instance, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act applies to anyone age 40 or above. AARP membership begins at age 50. Retirement savings withdrawals can start at age 59-1/2, but minimum distributions aren't required until 70-1/2. Social Security is available beginning at 63, yet Medicare doesn't kick in until age 65.
"Older is defined so differently by society and by clients' views of themselves. You need to be very cognizant of how you define older adults," Setzfand said.

Kendall-JacksonView all wine
Back in 1974, Jess Jackson saw in the fine vineyards of California's cool coastal regions fruit with a variety of outstanding flavors. What if there was a way to produce from this abundance, a single outstanding "cuvée" that offered both quality and value? The result, first released in 1983, was Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, a rich, round and flavorful wine, made with hand-crafted methods. That same year, Grand Reserve was introduced, a line of ultra-premium wines... View More

A couple weekends ago I was down in Atlanta visiting my brother and we had an amazing Sunday down at the King Center and Ebenezer Baptist. As someone who has idolized Dr. King since high school and who has found his writings and sermons to be constant companions along my journey of understanding racism, equality, and social justice based in a vision of the Beloved Community it was truly a pilgrimage for me. Standing outside of the house where Martin was born on Auburn Avenue and to see it preserved brought all of the books I have read about King growing up and developing come to life in a way which connected me with, not only the history of the civil rights movement but also, the possibilities of his dream for our day and age.
I was also very pleased to see that the exhibit didn't just stop with Dr. King's work in the civil rights movement but also touched upon his work as it developed to address the related evils of poverty and militarism. I was honestly biting my tongue anticipating that the Poor People's Campaign and King's speech and marches against the Vietnam war would be excluded.
Walking through those pictures just down from the street where he grew up and the church where he pastored when he was killed made this man and the movement he has come to exemplify come to life in a way which begs the question: why not now? What is holding the people of this country from rising up again as a un-ignorable voice and force for peace and justice? What would it take for we the people, in the midst of this increasingly global awareness, to believe that the world which God intends is indeed a possibility and that we have an enormous power as united people to bring this new world into being?
On the way back to the car I made a more intentional stop at the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame as was cheered as I saw the foot prints of Michael Pfleger. In addition to working with Father Pfleger in his role as co-chair of the 2011 Congress on Urban Ministry I also had the privilege of doing an internship at the Faith Community of St. Sabina. This amazing church and its faith-filled congregants have taught me more about living out faith than three whole years of seminary. Quite a portion of my hope for the continuation of Dr. King's dream comes from having experienced this community and having been deeply moved by their spirit and faith.
Good work is being done in the churches, synagogues, mosques, and community development organizations across this county. We must learn to lift up these points of light in spite of the seeming prevailing of darkness and to encourage our communities to be inspired by the Spirit which is surely at work even now.
Here's a recent, ten minute interview with Rev. Dr. Michael L. Pfleger on the Tavis Smiley show.

MoKo Closing, Becoming G2: Korean BBQ
Anne Fishbein / LA Weekly
Green chili pork mandu a (left) & ssams in steamed bao buns (right) at MoKo.
Only five months after Gyenari was revamped into MoKo under the steady, innovative hand of executive chef Gary Robins, the restaurant is closing. Robins is "facing severe health issues," and owner Will Shin doesn't think he can maintain the menu without him.
An upscale (many would argue overpriced) experiment in "highly flavored, exquisitely seasonal, infinitely varied" banchan, the large and lovely space will be revamped, yet again. In its place, G2 (Gyenari 2) will open September 1st with a less expensive, more conventional menu of Korean barbecue. Look for plenty of happy hour deals.

We encounter a different Apollo, here, In The Dark Places Of Wisdom. It is well understood that Ancient Greek culture was shot through with mystery cults, and that the philosopher by day became the torch- bearing initiate by night. But the mysteries, it is understood, are not part of the Greek Mind. They are an Asiatic intrusion, presided over by Dionysius. Everything Greek, ie civilised, is gathered under the protection of Apollo. This distinction was carved in stone by Nietzche, among others, a long time ago.
Not so, says Peter Kingsley: Apollo presided over an Asiatic mystery cult too. As the sun god he enjoyed the privilege of travelling beyond night, and down into the Underworld, beyond life and death, and those who sought his protection could make the journey with him.
Kingsley teases out the existence of this cult largely through the shadowy figure of one of the earliest Greek philosophers, Parmenides. The name is largely familiar because his teachings are the subject of the Platonic dialogue named after him, a dialogue that is not well known because its subject matter is considered too abstruse for the general reader. In any case, Kingsley considers Plato's presentation a travesty. Otherwise Parmenides is remembered for a poem which describes a journey into the Underworld. Only fragments of this survive. Recently (recently, that is, in terms of Greek studies), some archaeological evidence has come to light which puts a different perspective on things. Forty years ago several statues and inscriptions were discovered in Velia, Parmenides' home city, which reveal the existence of an order of mystical priests of Apollo, dedicated to mystical dreaming. From the inscriptions it is clear that Parmenides was part of this order, if not its founder. Although Velia is in Italy, it was founded by the displaced citizens of Phocaea, a city in what is now Turkey. The Phocaeans were energetic colonists, establishing cities in the Western Mediterranean and around the Black Sea. They were active traders, whose influence stretched out into the wilds of Central Asia, the epicentre of the religious practice known as shamanism, and quick to pick up influences from the peoples they traded with.
It is Kingsley's contention that Parmenides' poem, or what remains of it, should be understood in a shamanic context. Although it features encounters with archetypal figures, it is not an allegory but an account of an actual experience, a real journey dreamed in the incubation chambers of a temple to Apollo. And if we find it difficult to accept dreams as real experience, that is because our minds have been poisoned against the idea by Plato's successful attempt to winnow inspiration out of Western thought.
Are there any holes in this hypothesis? Well yes, what did you expect? The biggest is that the uncovered inscriptions are not contemporary with Parmenides, they date from half a millennium later. So a living cult with its roots in in the fringes may have been wishful thinking on someone's part. Or it may not.
There is nothing particularly contentious about Kingsley's general thrust. M L West first drew attention to the parallels between shamanism and the cult of Orpheus more than 15 years ago. And as the physical sciences bring mind and body closer together, Parmenides' assertion that there is no difference between the two seems less of a paradox and more a statement of fact. Perhaps we should cast the net wider and ask ourselves how often in the past we have mistaken Greek words for intellectual positions when they actually refer to states of consciousness (Sextus Empiricus would be a good place to start). And at the very least, to think of Apollo in a more shamanic light certainly tidies up Orpheus studies.
But tidying things up is the last thing on Kingsley's mind. This is a heartfelt book, expressed gnomically, and occasionally poetically: "We're ancient, incredibly ancient. We hold the history of the stars in our pockets." He regrets that his subject matter remains in the hands of scholars who do nothing with it, while those inclined to seek knowledge as direct experience look everywhere but in their own culture. If we understood the roots of the West properly we could experience our history as a breathing thing, and recognise that the Greek Mind cannot be so easily separated from its well- toned body as has been generally assumed.

Turning the TablesMature
Treat it like a sparring session, Jason's voice sounded in Sarah's head.
James advanced upon her. "You shouldn't struggle," he stated.
"Why?" Sarah asked. "Is resistance futile?"
"You'll be taken eventually." James drew his sword. "Better to go willingly than bleeding profusely."
"Fat chance!" Sarah snarled as she ducked James's first swing.
Drawing her knife, Sarah felt herself mentally shift. This was not just a fight for her survival, but for all the others who did not deserve to molested at the hands of Wholawski and his men.
Sarah ducked and dodged James's sword as he stayed out of reach. Her eyes continually flicked over to where the two men watched the fight. It was obvious that Chester was itching to join in. Yet for whatever reason, Wholwaski kept him back. Distracted by trying to guess Wholawski's reasoning, Sarah lost her knife parrying James's sword.
"Shit," she hissed.
Turning her attention fully on James, she focused on taking him down. One at a time like a boss fight, right?
"Now," Wholawski's voice was the only warning Sarah got before Chester was upon her.
Sarah felt that a weird constriction about her throat and her voice would not work. Why wouldn't James turn and fight with her damn it!
Jason! her mind cried as Chester wrenched her hands behind her back and James's sword tip touched her throat.
We are coming as fast as we can.
Wholawski clapped as he had when Sarah had defeated Major Chantey. Quivering she gave token struggles, hoping perhaps to fake them all. Maybe she'd get another chance to break away.
"What amazing skill you have," he said as James stepped aside. The General pulled out his dagger and caressed Sarah's cheeks with it. "Pity I'll have to keep you in chains. Not that there really is anywhere to run to. Still there is one way to get you into the Dungeon without much struggle."
He drew back his dagger and shifted it in his hands. Anticipating his next action, Sarah ducked as the pommel came towards her. The unexpected reaction gave her an element of surprise on Chester and she broke free. Then, since he was the closest thing of heft near her, Sarah flipped him into the General.
"Bitch!" Chester was up in seconds as Sarah bolted for the door.
His hand grabbed her leg and she screamed as his dagger ripped into her calf. Struggling to fight pain and kick the Nigiri off, she grabbed the vial from between her breasts. There was no time to think of how she'd regret not being able to feel pain when the drug wore off. Barely one drop made it to her mouth before Chester snatched it.
"What's this?" His knee pressed upon her back. "Gods' Nectar?" There was a note of hysteria in his voice and he leaned forward pressing her into the floor. "What the hell are you doing with Gods' Nectar?"
"Making you drink it!"
Without knowing how, Sarah flipped Chester off on to the floor by the bed.
"James, get in there!" Wholawski growled.
But James didn't grab her until after she managed to force the silvery liquid down Chester's throat. The Nigiri's body shuddered as James pulled her off and went still.
"What have you done?" The anger in Wholawski's voice was unmistakable. "I will do more than keep you in chains."
He advanced upon her and Sarah felt James's grip slacken as he stepped aside. She stepped towards the door.
"There's nowhere to run to," the General chuckled. "Oh no, you will be kept here until you bear me an heir."
"Won't happen," Sarah told him, her voice gone steely. Come on James. Help me out here, she thought, You could at least take out Chester now that he's unconscious.
"Oh?" Wholawski clearly didn't believe her. "I'm quite fertile, wouldn't you say Sharon?"
Sarah's eyes flicked to the door where the woman stood, rage upon her face and dagger in hand.
"Doesn't matter," Sarah edged herself to the door, praying that Sharon's rage was for Wholawski.
"And why not?" the General's eyes bore into hers.
Sarah straightened and exposed her midriff. "You see this scar here?" She smiled. "That's where they cut into me to take out my womb. I can't bear children, not even for Phoenix."
In the stunned silence two things happened. Sharon laughed and Chester sprung to action.
"Life is a bitch is it not Jackubas Wholawski?" the Nigiri chuckled as he stabbed the man and slammed him to the floor.

Katie POV:
We hit November with a bang, and winter almost immediately set in. Rain was all over the place, making small floods in the most god-awful places, with the main foyer completely un-enterable for the best part of three days after half term, and our coursework got heavier, UCAS and our personal statements only adding to the stress of our final year of school.
Nathan fitted in with us easily, much to my surprise, because even though I assumed he was arrogant, moody and rude, I couldn't have been more wrong. Though he hardly smiled, he was very funny when he opened his mouth, though that was another rare occurrence that stunned me. He was an observer, rather than a doer, and that suited our group just fine, though it still unnerved me when we fell into silence and I would look over to him, see him staring at me with a look on his face I could barely even try to fathom.
Remembrance Day was looming, and as a Sixth Form, we held a service for the fallen on the 11th of November. We needed poppy-sellers, the prefects taking the job, and people to lay crosses on behalf of our old boys who had died in the war. Twenty seven were needed, twenty seven signed up. Especially me, because I had to.
It wasn't an option for me.
It seems simple; take eight steps, place a tiny wooden cross down, and return, keeping your head down and stay on your feet. It's never as simple as you think.
I, personally, am heavily affected by remembrance services. I found this out last year, when Mandie and I spent most of the service in tears, clinging to each other for support. I had done so well the year before, managing to bite my lip into two, but shedding no tears.
In theory, as I stood at the top step and leant over, pushed the cross into the soft earth and straightened up, I had two steps to take before I was home free, and could flee back to the hall. Typical me, as I stepped down, I stumbled and nearly hit the floor.
A warm hand caught me from behind and held me on my feet. My heart pounded as I looked up at him, his smile small and almost heartbroken.
"We have to stop meeting like this," I breathed, and his smile grew slightly. I sniffed away the tears that had been blossoming in my eyes for the best part of forty-five minutes. He smiled again, squeezed my hand and released me.
"It's okay to cry," He whispered as we took our places in the hall again. Somehow, he had managed to manoeuvre himself into the chair beside me, when I knew he had been sitting at the further end of the row. I swallowed and folded my hands into my lap, he reached his right hand over and took my left into his, resting them between us. I felt a lot stronger in his grip, trying not to cry, but knowing it was alright as long as he was there.
Breathing heavily, I managed to make it through the rest of the ceremony without bursting into tears or having a panic attack. Nathan's strong fingers intertwined with mine kept me calm, but still, I had no desire whatsoever to stay longer than necessary, however a hand, warm in mine and still holding on, stopped me in my tracks as I picked up my bag and went to leave.
"Please let me go, Nate." I whispered, he shook his head and pulled me back to him, "I can't stay." I felt the lump in my throat returning, my chest tightening as my vision blurred with tears again.
"Why, Katie?" I loosened his grip with my own hand and nearly threw it to his side, stepping back and away from him, "I-I don't understand-"
"Just... not today." I licked my lips, considering telling him exactly why, but knowing that it was way too hard for me to face right now. Instead, I simply hugged him tight and walked away, leaving him standing there, watching me disappear.
"Repatriation ceremony, mum?" I was sat across the table from her, clutching dad's scarf in my fingers as I held it around my neck, "They're bringing him back, then?" From what I'd heard, there hadn't been much of him left to bring back.
"Yep." She looked at me for a long time, then reached across the table and gripped my hand, "It's a lot of pomp and circumstance if you ask me, but..." she sniffed and looked to the floor, her eye brimming with tears for the longest time before they spilled over her, down her cheeks and splashed to the table. "You don't have to-"
"I'm coming mum," Reflexively, I pulled on the scarf, an action that would, over the next few years, become a nervous habit. "I don't want to miss my chance to say goodbye."
I sat down in the common room and drew my knees up to my chest, staring into the base of the plastic chair across from me.
"Katie?" A small hand squeezed my shoulder and I looked up to see Mandie looking at me with an awkward smile on her face, "You okay?"
I shrugged, my usual response to those pointless questions.
"Not like I've got a choice in the matter," I said softly, "No, not at all." I shrugged again and she released my shoulder.
"You frightened Nathan, I think," She said softly as she sat down beside me, pulled my legs across her and pulled at my laces, the only shoes that I knew I would have any hope of getting away with.
"Yeah, well..." I shrugged and curled back up, sighing. "It was unintentional."
"He thinks he's done something wrong," She murmured, and I looked up at her, "He wanted to apologise, but-" She smiled and I wrapped my arms around myself, looking around the room for him.
"He didn't know how." I finished for her, "Where-"
"Art." She whispered, "Sulking."
I looked at her, whispering a thank you and grabbing my bag to run up to the art rooms. After possibly the longest trek of my life, I pushed the door of A4 open and set myself down at one of the desks opposite the tousled, dark-brown hair of Nathan Bailey. He was scribbling on a piece of paper with a pencil, alternating with an ink pen and swearing every so often as he focussed solely on the page.
There was a long silence as he scrawled on the page for a little longer, screwed it up with a loud 'fuck' and looked up to throw the page into the recycling bin.
"How long have you been standing-?"
"About two minutes," I said softly, "Er..." I took a breath and crossed the room, finding a stool and sitting down beside him. There was a long awkward silence where we simply looked between each other and pulled empty expressions. "My dad was a soldier."
I cringed, realising that by just throwing that out there, he would probably assume I was totally insane. His only response was to raise his eyebrows.
"Oh." He nodded at me and I looked away. "By was... do you mean-?"
"Yeah," I nodded, "He kind of... two and a half years." I crossed my arms and looked into his face, expecting an expression of disgust, or pity. I saw only a hesitance in his eyes before he reached forward and touched my hand. "I still can't face it."
"What you did..." He breathed, "It makes you incredibly... so brave." He whispered, "I know I wouldn't be able to-"
"Yes," I murmured, "You would." I cut him off with the simple words. "Because your heart would tell you to."
He stared at me for a long time and I swallowed; my mouth dry and unable to function, before he leaned forward and very slowly, very gently brushed his thumb across my lips.
"You're so weird," I managed as he pulled away.
"I try."He raised a shoulder in a half-shrug, making me grin. He dropped his hand, running it along my shirt sleeve and touching my hand for a very long time, "Any time," He breathed, "Any time you need someone to talk to..." The door banged open and his hand was gone.
"Thank you," I breathed, the warmth of his fingers still clasped around my own.
"Really," He murmured, "I mean it." I nodded and picked up my bag, swinging it back over my shoulder and going to leave the room.
He gripped my hand again and held me in one place.
"Let me walk you to lesson?" It was a question, as opposed to a command. I nodded and his fingers slipped into mine as he carefully pulled me through the corridors, guiding me to English and lingering in the doorway as I stepped into the empty classroom, my eyes still threatening to spill over like they had so many times before.
I turned to smile and say goodbye to him, but he wasn't there anymore. My heart hurt.

Stephen Hawking profoundly confused by hospital insurance forms
LONDON - Despite mastering theoretical physics and achieving an unparalleled understanding of quantum gravity, Stephen Hawking was unable to comprehend the forms presented to him before his recent hospital admission. After getting through the first three lines asking him for his name and address, Hawking grew increasingly frustrated.
Hawking's work studying black holes has made him a world renowned academic celebrity, but his brain power was put to the test by the paperwork he was required to fill out in the hospital waiting room. At one point, he put the clipboard aside and spent twenty minutes discovering a new black hole in a distant universe, just to briefly relax his mind.
While going over the forms, Hawking rolled his eyes, and his electronically synthesized voice box cried out in anger, "I don't understand any of this!" Eventually, Professor Hawking was admitted to a room, where he spent the next three hours trying to figure out the television remote control, and filling out a form for meal requests.
After being released from the hospital Hawking announced his new book, "The Discover of A New Black Hole: Britain's Health Care System".
