Chapter FourMature
Angelique, clutching a black ink pen, sits hunched over a trunk that has been manufactured into a temporary writing desk. A slender candle flickers on beside the coded map and a roll of parchment. The twirling flame fills the cramped room with dim yellow light, reflecting eerily off the metal bunk posts.
"How's it?" I greet her, plopping onto the edge of the bunk nearest her.
Her eyes remain studiously on her work. Without acknowledging me, she moves mechanically to scribble something down on the parchment. I can see from my narrow view point that it consists of two columns of markings surrounded by hastily scribbled notes.
I lie down on my back and spin so that my feet are pressed up against the bottom of the bunk above me. The springs supporting the mattress make a harsh shrieking sound when I press up on them. Angelique winces and finally turns to face me.
"What are you, four?" she snaps.
"Four and a half, actually," I reply.
She snorts and returns to her work, but I can tell the ice is finally broken.
"You're not having much luck," I say plainly.
"Oh, really? Who'd've guessed."
"No need to get snippy."
"I'm not—" She pauses, closes her eyes, and lets out a slow breath. "I'm just so frustrated. This map is like a puzzle. Nothing is explicitly labeled, and there are a bunch of weird clues buried in symbolism and riddles." She throws up her hands angrily. "This is the worst map I've ever seen."
I nod sagely. "Sucks," I offer.
She returns to her work and we fall back into silence. Finally,
"You're going to destroy your eyes if you keep going the way you are," I advise her.
She growls through a clenched jaw. "And why is that, d'you think?" she replies. "If I had some real light instead of this flimsy goddamn candle, I may come out of this with my eyesight fully intact."
I leap up off the bunk. "Well if it was a light you needed, you coulda just asked," I say. "Wait here."
I head down the hallway toward the supply closet. The ship's belly is a maze of hallways and interconnecting rooms, virtually unnavigable to strangers and newcomers. That's probably why my parents built it that way—so that only long-time crew members, people they could trust, would be able to find their way around.
The supply closet is on the other side of the ship, tucked between two crew cabins. A virtual mountain of junk is stacked inside; I have to open the door carefully and shield my fragile head with my free hand. Once the door is safely open and no skull-shatterings have occurred, I locate the box where we store electric lamps—I generally prefer candles and gas lamps to electric light for the sake of ambience—and close the door so as not to disturb the precarious mass of assorted items.
A shuffling sound from behind announces the arrival of one of the rescued Greek sailors. His torso is bare and scoured with puckered gashes. Metal cuffs trailing ragged chains where Robin had cut them hang on his spindly wrists and ankles. The seams of his pants barely hold together and the hems are but tattered shreds. His nails are chipped and yellowed, as are the watery gray eyes peering out from beneath the brim of his flat-topped sailor's hat, the only part on his person that seems mostly unharmed by the whole captured-and-enslaved deal. He gives off a general air—and smell—of misery. My nose wrinkles in repulsion.
His expression hardens and he says something in a harsh, guttural voice. Shit, I think I offended him. Offering a smile and a shrug that hopefully conveys I don't speak Greek so I have no idea what you're saying, I turn around and start to head back to Angelique's cabin, but he says something again, this time his voice raised nearly to a shout.
With my back still facing him, I shut my eyes, count to seven, and pray for composure. When I turn to him, I hold up my hands in a universal gesture of surrender and enunciate my words carefully. "I do not speak Greek," I say. Pointing to him with one hand, I mime a speaking gesture, then point to myself and shake my head. "No Greek. Spanish? English? Yes. Greek? No."
His face contorts furiously and he starts shouting again. Through the melee, a single word jumps out at me, a word that sounds vaguely like capitán. Aggressive hand gestures accompany his words, but I have abso-fucking-lutely no damn idea what he could possibly be trying to convey.
I point to myself again. "No Greek. None." Then I point behind me. "I am going now. Leave. I leave now."
I've not made it three steps before he jumps me. I hear the chains clanking against his cuffs before he reaches me, but it's still only barely enough time for me to grab my weapon. We end up locked in an awkward tussle, my arm folded against my side as I struggle to wrest my cutlass from its sheath while the sailor is half draped across my back, hands scrabbling across my body for something to injure. One of his filthy hands tries to cover my mouth, so I fight the bile rising in my throat and bite down hard on one of the fingers. He howls in pain and moves to cover my eyes instead.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I shout, stumbling back awkwardly. Even though I'm wearing my braces now and consider myself rather strong anyway, he's a pretty sturdy guy and has now wrapped his limbs around me in such a way that I can't possibly keep my balance. It takes all my effort to locate the nearest wall and use it as support so that I don't topple over. The sailor howls in my face, giving me a full dose of breath foul enough to wilt plants.
He shouts some more and I fight the urge to spit directly into his mouth. The combination of B.O. and halitosis is enough to disarm me on its own; he takes this moment to snatch my cutlass out of reach with one hand and tug my head back by the hair with the other. A lot of things are going through my mind right now, but even so, I have to marvel at the way he's managing to keep his legs wrapped around my body without his hands to hold him up.
"A+ upper body strength, buddy. Kudos," I say.
He sneers and starts to rant at me in Greek. At this point I'm so over the whole thing that I let his words go right to the back of my brain. I'm mainly concerned about getting to the dagger that I keep in one of my boots. I try to slide subtly down the wall without going off balance and getting crushed by the big screaming Greek dude wrapped around me like a fucking monkey. My fingers inch sloooowly down my calf—goddamn, do I wish I wore higher boots—reaching for the blade tucked into the little strap sewn into the canvas.
C'mon, just a little bit farther—although I don't dare a glance down, I've got to be nearly there, come on. My fingertips stretch as far as I can make them, past the top of my boot cuff. They brush against the wooden handle of the tiny weapon and my heart soars with excitement.
In a sudden motion, I tug the dagger free and jab it into the sailor's thigh. He shrieks and loses his grip on my waist. He falls back solidly against the carpeted floor, his breath rushing from him in a sharp wheeze. The clamor attracts a couple crew members (guess they couldn't be bothered when he was shouting himself hoarse at me), among them Anamaria.
She looks from the bloodied dagger in my hand to the disoriented sailor groaning on the floor to the broken lamp, which I'd dropped during the attack. "What the fuck is going on here?" she snaps.
It is only then that I realize what this scene must look like to them. "He fucking attacked me," I insist. "Did none of you notice the part when he literally jumped on me and started screaming at me in Greek? 'Cause that was definitely a thing that happened before I stabbed him."
"Go get Angelique," Anamaria orders one of the crew. "And you," she says to another, "find something to clean up this glass." They both scurry off. Anamaria then turns her full attention on me. Her face is composed, but I can tell that she's heading quickly into wanting-to-bite-Ingrid's-face-off mode. It's a rare and awful sight; I try to rouse it as infrequently as possible.
"Do you have any idea," she says, "any at all, why that man might want to attack you?"
"No, dammit, I haven't done anything to the guy. I mean, he's Greek. They roast baby goats and eat raw eggs to celebrate Jesus' resurrection. They're fucking whack," I protest.
She fixes me with a look of exasperation that makes me get those vaguely homicidal urges again. It's enough that I look like a complete idiot in front of my crew for apparently stabbing a guy without reason; now my quartermaster is making me feel like a scolded child.
Just then, one of the crew members returns with Angelique. "Thank god," Anamaria says, turning her eyes heavenward. "What say our humble resident scholar? Is the good sailor a mad Greek, or what?"
Angelique, apparently unfazed by the tumultuous scene, bends down at the injured man's side and places a gentle hand on his shoulder. She gives him an encouraging smile and begins to speak in rapid Greek. He returns the smile, but his response is evidently on the unsavory side. Angelique's face contorts with rage, and she rears back and slaps him hard across the face.
"What did he say?" Anamaria asks anxiously.
"He said—" Angelique's mouth opens to speak, but flounders, as if the words are too physically painful to speak. "He thinks we're—we're thugs here to kidnap him and his crew. He called us dirty, brown-faced monkeys."
The words are like a mallet straight to my gut. I'm halfway between walking away and introducing his jaw to the heel of my boot, but Anamaria reads my thoughts and wraps my arm in a sturdy grip. While I can't see her face as she is standing a bit behind me, I feel a deep and familiar tremor run through her.
"Those are dangerous words," I say stonily. I shake off my guardian's hand and advance toward the sailor, who has recovered enough to prop himself up on one arm and glare at me. "The kind of words a bunch of thugs," I meet his eyes with cold disdain, "would usually take as a threat."
He dropped my sword when I knocked him out, and I go to retrieve it now. I examine the weapon pensively, running my thumb along the ridged edge. The soft glow of the gas lamps mounted on the wall reflect off the comically sharp blade.
Angelique, still kneeling on the floor, gazes up at me with hollow sadness. "Ingrid, please. I know it's not right for him to say those things, but—"
"Chill. I'm not gonna kill him," I assure her.
At that moment, the other crew member whom Anamaria had sent to get something to clean up the broken lamp rushes back down the hallway. "Captain—captain, you need to come quick," they gasp, bending over as they struggle for breath. "It's a mutiny."
I groan. "My fucking luck," I mutter. I sheath my sword and head for the stairs. "One of you stay back to watch him. The rest of you follow me."
As I lead them through the labyrinth of the hold, we can hear furious shouting from above. We reach the stairs and sprint up to the main deck, where we are met with one of the most ridiculous standoffs I've ever seen. Gathered about the base of the gun deck are the members of my crew, well fed, well washed, and very obviously well armed. Opposite them, clumped around the foremast, are the mutinous Greek pirates, all scraggly beards and fatal-level B.O., clothed in tatters and scars.
Besides the sheer ridiculous nature of the sight, it also strikes me at that moment that all the Greeks are white men. Even though I doubt it by their smell, someone must have introduced them to soap at some point—or maybe it's just the lighting, now that the storm clouds have fully receded—because they were definitely more brown the last time I saw them.
Most of the shouting is coming from the bow side. Even if I spoke fluent Greek, I wouldn't have been able to tell what they were saying, there are so many of them yelling over one another. I turn to Anamaria at my side, snatch her pistol out of its holster, and fire a single shot straight up into the air.
The sailors instantly go quiet. I hand the pistol back to its owner with a nod of thanks, then stride to the center of the deck. I hook my thumbs in my belt and look around stonily to build max suspension. Back near the gun deck, I catch Angelique covering her mouth to smother her laughter.
"So," I say, raising my voice to be heard above the cacophony of the waves slapping against the hull and the sails snapping in the breeze, "I hear tell of a little mutiny goin' on."
"Pardon me, captain," one of my crew pipes up, "but 'tain't much of a mutiny if the ones as are revolting ain't part of the crew."
"Alright, I'll give you that." I then turn my gaze on the rebels clustered about the mast. They visibly shrink back, but return my look with almost laughable hatred.
"For fuck's sake, guys," I say. "We rescued you. Those people were going to have you executed and we risked our sorry butts for you. Like, okay, they had nooses hanging from a goddamn cross and sealed you up in chains, and you assume we're the bad ones?"
Angelique hurries across the deck to my side. She translates for the strangers. When she's finished, many of them ease their gazes and turn away, evidently somewhat embarrassed.
"Anything to say, guys? Anything? 'Cause, you know, hear I thought our issues came from some kind of miscommunication due to our language barrier. But now I see the problem! You're all just massive racists!"
Angelique translates, and still none of them speak. I snort with disgust.
"Typical," I say. "Throw 'em in the brig until I figure out what to do with them."
As several of my crew surround our guests-turned-prisoners and start to usher them away, a fresh clamor erupts from below. Three more Greeks come rushing out of the hold clutching canvas sacks. Upon seeing the gathered crew collectively staring at them, they pause, seeming to consider their options, then turn and sprint back downstairs.
"Manuela?" I call. She steps out from the shadows beneath the gun deck, head ducked. I gesture her closer with one finger. She inches meekly across the deck, hands tugging absently at the hem of her shirt. When she reaches me, I grab her chin in one hand and yank her face toward mine.
"You were the one who insisted we go back and help these fucking weasels," I snap. She winces and tries to jerk away from me, but I keep my hold on her chin. "You tried to make my own crew turn against me so you could pressure me into going back to help out some smelly old white guys and they ended up stealing from us."
"I just wanted to help," she said, not quite meeting my eyes.
"Help who, Manuela? Did you really care about them, or were you just trying to make yourself feel good? So you could feel a little righteous?"
"I didn't know."
"Shut up. You out of all of us know you can't ever trust people—people like them."
Part of me almost regrets the words when I see the tears start to gather in her eyes, but the anger roiling through my body is too strong. I shove her away.
"Go find those two," I instruct her, nodding toward the stairs. "You wanted them on this ship so badly, now you can be in charge of holding them until we can find a place to stop. You're on brig duty indefinitely." I then turn to address the rest of the prisoners, who have been standing frozen, watching the scene. "Be fucking grateful I don't just haul you overboard. I'm a captain of the code."
My blood is still fuming in my veins as I stomp along the deck, away from everyone else, toward the bow. I round the fo'c'sle and lean against the wall, staring at the swirling white foam in our wake. The wind has been steady throughout the day and we're at a prime angle to catch the best of it. So far that seems to be the only positive thing about this whole damn day.
Jimena's voice snaps me out of my musing. They're squatting atop the railing at the edge of the fo'c'sle, grasping a loose line for support. "Manuela found the prisoners. But, uh…"
"What, Jimena? What could possibly have occurred in the brief span of time in which my incredibly hard headed first mate scampered off to locate our thieving foreign visitors that warrants an interruption of my very rare and very precious alone time?"
"Uh, they set the galley on fire."
I can smell the smoke before I'm halfway down the stairs. A small crowd has already gathered outside the room, everybody shouting and flitting about in a panic. I try to shove my way into the room, but the air is dense with acrid smoke. Though I can't see the flames, the heat is great enough to make me draw back from the threshold.
"Is there anyone inside?" I call out.
"No," someone answers. "The room was empty when they lit the fire. We think they were trying to steal food, but when we caught them they panicked."
I allow myself a brief moment to slam my fist into the wall. It clears enough of the steaming anger that the cogs in my brain begin to chug along dutifully. I locate someone who isn't acting like a startled rabbit and instruct them to go grab some damp towels. Then I elicit the help of another crew member to clear the squawking crowd and bring at least some order.
Once my first helper has returned with the towels, I hand them out to a couple of the remaining crew members. "The rest of you go find some buckets and start hauling some water down here," I say.
"Um, captain, 'scuse me," one of them says, "but how're we supposed to get enough water down here?"
"Oh, Christ," I groan. "We're in the middle of the ocean, for god's sake. Figure it out."
"Shouldn't we have something a bit more sophisticated than a bunch of people dragging buckets up and down the stairs? Like, a hose?" someone suggests as the others hurry away.
"I'll put it on my shopping list," I reply.
With several of us transporting water assembly-line-style, it only takes half an hour for us to completely snuff out the blaze and air out the smoke. What remains is a soggy, blackened galley littered with broken glass and appliances. I kick dejectedly at a wine glass warped and discolored from the heat. It rolls across the charred wooden floorboards in a crooked semicircle.
One of the crew places a hand on my shoulder. "You alright, captain?" they ask gently.
Their pity makes my stomach curdle. I resist the urge to slap their hand away and give a taut nod. Sometimes I feel like it's probably better that they mistake my frustration for sadness; I'd rather they avoid me out of sensitivity to my feelings rather than fear of my temper.
Debris crunches beneath my boots as I stride back out into the hallway. I start for the stairs, but as I'm about to turn, a movement outside the porthole catches my eye. I whip back around and peer out through the grimy glass. The porthole is well above sea level, so it's easy for me to make out the writhing shapes against the crystalline water.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I elbow the attending crew members out of my way as I sprint down the hallway toward the brig. It's not so much a formal cell as a random room toward the stern that we use to hold unruly ship guests. Truthfully, we've never actually had to deal with a situation where putting people in the brig was necessary, so it's not exactly fortified. My only assurance that the prisoners are actually being kept secure is Manuela's watchfulness—oh, god, what was I thinking?
When I reach the room, the door is yawning open and Manuela is lying on the floor just outside, wrists bound and mouth gagged with strips of filthy cloth. I drop to my knees and untie her.
"You didn't let them get out, did you?" I cry, nudging her shoulder perhaps a bit too hard.
"Ow. No, I didn't let them do anything. They jumped me," she replies, looking hurt.
"And you didn't think to lock the fucking door?"
"What was I supposed to do? You didn't give me a key or whatever, you just said 'Manuela, it's your fault, blah blah blah, go guard the prisoners—"
I don't even bother interrupting her whiny vein. I get to my feet and drag her with me down the halls and upstairs to the main deck. Almost all of my crew members have gathered along the port side to gawk and exclaim over the same thing I'd witnessed from the porthole—the two dozen or so Greek sailors hurling themselves off the edge of the deck and paddling out into the great expanse of the sea.
"Fucking idiots," I muttered.
"Captain!" One of the crew members who'd assisted me in clearing out the scene outside the galley, a gunner named Arielle, rushes out from belowdecks wielding a sheaf of tattered note paper. They reach me, panting, and burst out, "We took an inventory of everything we could find in the galley and pantry. The prisoners took everything. What they didn't steal, they must have burned."
Brilliant fireworks shoot off in my skull. The sensation must be tangible to others because Arielle takes a few steps back, fingers tightening on the notes clutched tightly against their chest. I wait for the aggressive throbbing behind my eyeballs and the painful tension in my jaw to recede before I start issuing commands.
"That's—that's fucking perfect," I say at last, a bit hysterically. I make a show of glancing around to check if anyone's listening in, then gesture Arielle closer and put my arm around their shoulders. "Now, you seem like a good kid. I trust you. So how's about you do me a favor and go throw that inventory report into the sea?"
"But, Captain Liston, that would be withholding vital information from the rest of the crew," they reply.
"Love, if I had a coin for every time I've withheld vital information from you people for your own safety." I clap her on the shoulder. "Good sailor. Now scurry off."
I grab one of the mates and instruct them to go find Angelique and tell her to meet me in my quarters. Once they're gone, I make quick work of dispersing the crew and getting them to return to their regular positions.
Back in my cabin, I finally release my mounting frustration in an enormous sigh. I drop onto my hammock and allow my momentum to rock me for several moments. I imagine that all my anger is a black river flowing out of my pores and leaking through the fabric of the hammock, dripping down through the floor boards and into the ocean and far, far away from me. It helps, marginally. Briefly, I consider the benefits of hiring a personal masseuse.
A rapping on the door jams into the serene haze of my relaxation. "'S open," I call out.
Angelique enters and closes the door behind her. "Clearly, you aren't letting the stress get to you too much," she says with a smirk upon noticing me. "Good for you, captain."
"Grab a seat. Stay a while." I gesture to the myriad of overstuffed chairs clumped in front of my desk. She pulls one close and straddles it with the back of the seat facing me, folding her arms across the top and gazing at me studiously.
"I admire you," she says. "I could never be such a hardass and not feel even the tiniest bit of guilt about it. You can really pull off the heartless commander thing. It's like a gift."
"You know, between escaping the perils of a mermaids' den, being harassed by a bunch of white British punks, staying up all night chasing you down, getting kidnapped by mobsters, executing an extremely violent and, may I say, daring rescue to save a bunch of foreign pirates from the noose, then those pirates burning my galley, stealing all our food, and escaping into the ocean, this is honestly the first relaxing moment I have had in the past twenty-four hours. And I will not let you spoil it for me."
"Fair enough. So why'd you call me in here?"
"Needed to know if you've made any progress on the map."
"'Progress' is a relative term. I think—key word, think—I've figured out the first step."
"Excellent. Go find Lucia and we'll figure out some coordinates."
"Well, that's the thing," she says hesitantly. "The location isn't exactly geographical."
"Okay, there's this legend—the legend of the Rocas del Diablo. You've heard of them?"
"Can't say I have."
"Not much to it. The goddess of the sea fell in love with a sailor, the sailor went and married someone else, the goddess got super jealous and made a bunch of perilous cliffs come out of the ocean so that he'd get lost and never find his way out, yadda yadda. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the first step in this map is hinting at the Rocas del Diablo."
"'Kay, a bunch of rocks sticking out of the ocean sounds mighty geographical to me."
She swats me on the arm. "Legend of the Rocas. They're not real. They're made up. No one has ever provided physical proof that they even exist."
I wave my hand in a dismissive gesture. "You know why people make up legends, Angelique? Two reasons only—first, to entertain, and second, to explain something for which there is no tangible proof. Nobody sat down one day and said to themselves, 'Hey, I think I'm gonna make up a totally pointless story about a goddess who falls in love with a sailor and makes a bunch of magic rocks appear, that'll totally earn me fame and prestige.' No, someone survived those cliffs and didn't know how to explain them, so they came up with whatever explanation made the most sense to them."
Before she can reply, the door bursts open and two crew members enter, each holding an arm of a scrawny white boy around eight years old. He's struggling to get free, lashing out with his feet and growling in what he probably found a very menacing manner.
"We found this kid skulking around the galley," one of them informs me. "Probably broke off from the prisoners and tried to stow away with us."
"I already told you I'm not one of them!" the boy cries out. "If you'd just let me go, I could show you—"
"Shut it," they respond.
"Please. Just let go of one of my arms."
"I said shut it."
"Hey," I interject, sitting up a bit in my hammock. "Just let the kid show you what he wants to show you."
As soon as one of his hands is loose, the boy bows his head and begins emphatically scrubbing at his face with his shirt. When he looks back up, his cheek is almost midnight black.
"'S all makeup," he explains.
I stare in silence for a couple minutes. My brain feels like a weathered cushion that has been repeatedly smashed against a jetty throughout the past twenty-four hours, and this kid has just dropped an anvil on top of it cartoon villain-style.
"So, just to make sure I am one hundred percent clear here," I say, rising from my hammock, "you, for whatever reason, disguised yourself as a white kid, stowed away with a bunch of Greek pirates on their way to be executed, and instead of swimming away to almost certainly perish miles from the nearest coast, you elected to stay on board."
He nods.
I close my eyes and let out a slow breath, making sure to count all the way to seventeen. "Why," I say at last, "why on this good green Earth would you do that?"
"I had to," he replies. "I was sent here."
"Who sent you?" I ask.
"I dunno."
I groan. "Alright, fine. Do you know where you live? Is there somewhere we can drop you off?"
"I live in Portmore." He looks down at his feet, suddenly shy, and scuffs his bare feet against the wooden floor boards. "I don't live anywhere," he tells the floor. "Raiders took my momma and burned down our house. I jus' sorta wander."
Angelique suddenly brightens up and goes to kneel next to him so that she's at his eye height. "What was your momma's name, honey?" she asks.
He avoids her eyes, but answers, "Juliana Prince."
Angelique puts a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I think I knew her. She lived above the grocery store on Main Street, isn't that right?" He nods.
"What are you—" I try to interrupt, but Angelique shoots me a poisonous look.
She continues, "It was really sad, what happened to your momma. But do you wanna know something?" He nods again. "When I was very little, my momma was taken too. It was very scary because then I was all by myself, taking care of my brothers and sisters. It was alright, though, because I knew I was being watched over."
"I dun believe in God," he says firmly, glancing up for the first time.
"That's fine. You don't have to. But you always have someone watching out for you. And right now, that's us."
She pats his shoulder and stands up. "Bring him to my cabin. He can stay there," she tells the two crew members.
I wait until the door is closed before I explode. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? Did you completely miss that whole part where I told you about how incredibly fucking stressed all this shit is making me?"
"Then don't get stressed about this one," she says coolly, taking her place back in her chair. "You take care of getting us food and I'll worry about the kid."
"That isn't the point here, Angelique. You invited someone onto my ship without my permission and gave orders to my crew members right in front of me. It's like you're forgetting who the goddamn captain of this vessel is."
She shrugs. "He's a cute kid. Reminds me of my little brothers. I really don't see the problem with keeping him here."
I restrain the intense urge to stab her and plop back down on my hammock. "Fine. Go right ahead. Keep the kid, I don't give a shit. Now if it isn't any inconvenience to you, I haven't slept in almost two days, so I really need a nap."
"Gotcha," she says, rising to leave.
"Oh, and if you happen to catch Tsura, warn her that I might be paying her a trip soon," I add. "My blood pressure is so many kinds of dangerous right now."

text: Apr 30 11:52 AM CT By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas – The award-winning 5 Wonders is back for a post-draft look. Today we talk about Morris Claiborne, Bruce Carter, Mike Jenkins and where's the nose tackle? ** The Cowboys traded up for Claiborne because he was the second player on their draft board and they could not believe he slipped out of the top five. In 2003 the Cowboys drafted Terence Newman with the fifth overall pick and said part of the decision was based on Newman's return abilities. In nine seasons, Newman had 38 punt returns for a 7.5-yard average and one touchdown. They never really let him do it. I wonder if the Cowboys will let Claiborne return punts and/or kicks. He averaged 25 yards per kick return last year at LSU and had a 99-yard touchdown. He's not Patrick Peterson as a returner, but he could be a good one and the Cowboys' return games need to improve in 2012. Here's a bonus wonder: I wonder if Dez Bryant actually becomes more of a full-time returner this season. It's Year 3 for him and I wonder if the team will sign him to a second contract down the road. ** Claiborne's arrival has Jenkins' future in question. Jenkins is in the last year of his contract and is scheduled to make a little more than $1 million. He is also coming off shoulder surgery and as I wrote on Friday, the team is a little concerned at how much rehab time he's spending in Florida and not at Valley Ranch. But I wonder what you could get for Jenkins. The money is palatable but he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2013. And he's coming off major surgery and won't be ready until training camp. Jerry Jones likes to say a player's value is lowest at the draft, so they could not get equal value for Jenkins or close to it. I wonder if the Cowboys let Jenkins play out the year, hope he does well, signs a big contract elsewhere and then hope they can get a compensatory back in 2014.

20% Off + Free Shipping Today!
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
Baddakonasana is sometimes known as Cobbler's pose and also as bound angle pose.
This is one of my favorite Asana, it is beneficial during menstruation and pregnancy. It relieves stiffness in ankles, knees and hips, prevents varicose veins, and prepares the body for sitting in meditation.
If you would like to try a variation you can lay on your back, with you bottom touching the wall and your feet raised vertically, leaning against the wall. From there allow your knees to bend sideways and let the bottom of your feet touch. You hopefully are now in an upside down version of standard Baddhakonasana. This is very relaxing for your body and lets you stretch gently.

Ankle pain
33 Attachment(s)
This season I really wanted to improve my carving (not scarves). They have improved significantly. However, as I have gotten better I have noticed ankle pain in my lead foot. It is on the outside of my foot, just below the ankle bone.
I mostly notice the pain at the end of the day. But it is not the same as a tired muscle soreness. The odd time I notice a little bit of pain in the ankle when on my toeside, pushing my knees into down and into the hill. I tend to need to really push my knees apart, but I find this is almost twisting my ankle awkwardly.
Anyone else had this issue? I am thinking it is one of two things. Either I am trying to get my knees too far apart, or possibly just overuse.
On a side note, I had a friend who is a level 3 instructor look at my form. He did not complain about lower body position, mostly just that I can improve my back position on heelside.
Board: NS Proto CT 154
Bindings: Burton Cartels (2012)
Boots: Size 10, Burton Rulers (2012)
Stance: 22"
Angles: was +18/-18, moved to +15/-15
Weight: 145 lbs
Shoulder Width: 19"
I do a lot of switch riding, so I really like to keep the same angles.
If the evaluator did not mention form with your lower body, it might be worth it to fiddle around a little bit with your binding angles. Also, how strong are your ankles? That *may* play a small roll in the pain and strengthening might help alleviate the discomfort.
i have a similar issue. I also ride close to as much switch as regular... with similar - but not as aggressive a setup on the angle... also using burton ruler boots (2011 model i think...)
I found that my boot started to press into that area just below the front foot's umm... under ankle bone... bone.
I've wanted to just heat up the boot and push that area out more. Or even reduce some of the padding/pressure in that area inside the liner... not sure which to try - or if both are a bad idea, tho the latter would be more permanent for the burton rulers.

One thing I did forget, this past summer I did mildly sprain my right foot (lead foot). However, it was near the start and never noticed any pain with my other activities. So it could be still weak in certain areas, and now that I have gotten better I am stressing that area.
I have scaled my angles back, but I only spent one day at +15/-15. Since it was already sore, I doubt I would have seen an instant recovery. Going to keep them this way for a few days and see how it goes.
The pain isn't terrible, but it has got a worse. This weekend was family day (Canadian long weekend), so I put a solid 4 days of riding in.

i'm at +12/-12 on my end....
I'm getting the feeling that the constant bending is pushing a bit harder on the front foot - which aggravates the area under the ankle bone after a full day or 2 of boarding... you don't feel anything from your boots?
To your 2nd question... No optional jbars on mine, they're quite mandatorily attached and puffed out into the "under ankle" area in question
does the 2012 have a place for JBAR inserts?
Here's what my inliners look like:
the grey deal's pretty well glued on there from the start.

Yep, and that is were I get the pain.
for me - last sprain was years and years ago - before I started boarding.
This isn't cramps on my side, but actually a very sore spot on the outside of the foot, on that little bone that protrudes just under the big ankle bone... if that makes any sense...
i believe what makes the big ankle bone on the outside is the fibula. So right below that - there is a protrusion (differing in size from person to person) that appears to be from the calcaneus:
Pic - courtesy of here: Ankle Anatomy - Orthogate
So assuming that's correct, the calcaneus is where i'm feelin this unhappiness.
I can see it now - kid falls over on the mountain, grabs his boot, and starts screeming "owww, my calcaneus! my calcaneus!!!"

A HEART attack victim was saved from certain death when his workmate jump-started his ticker — by FALLING on top of him.
Engineer Kevin Brockbank, 54, keeled over with a massive coronary as he chatted with pal Martin Amriding on a coffee break during a shift.
Shocked Martin, 51, tried to catch his stricken friend but as Kevin slumped to the floor he pulled his 15-stone mate over — and the thud to his chest RESTARTED his flatlining pulse.
Last night dad-of-two Kevin, of Ayr, said: "We were in the canteen when I started feeling unwell — and suddenly it felt like I had been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer.
"I could feel my eyes rolling back in my head and I slumped down. I started to fall over, so Martin tried to grab me but I must have dragged him over the chair with me. The next thing I knew I was on the floor with him on top of me. Afterwards I was told my heart had stopped beating for about a minute.
"Both the paramedic and the surgeon said it was the thud of Martin falling on me that saved my life, in the same way CPR chest compressions would."
Father-of-two Martin, from Preston, Lancs, added: "It wasn't exactly a textbook resuscitation but it seemed to do the trick.
"It was only afterwards that the paramedic told me I had saved Kevin's life by falling on him.
"I'm gobsmacked and still can't fully get my head round it all." The drama unfolded at the Dundee printing company where the friends have worked as service engineers for 35 years.
Gravely ill Kevin had to be revived FOUR more times as he suffered a string of heart attacks as he was rushed to the city's Ninewells Hospital in an ambulance.
Medics rated his chances of survival at just 50/50 and surgeons immediately operated to insert a tube in his main artery.
Kevin was discharged from the hospital ten days later — but the danger wasn't over as he had two minor strokes soon after.
He then needed further ops to remove potentially fatal blood clots from his legs, heart and kidneys.
But Kevin says he's finally on the mend after his brush with death. He added: "I'm feeling much better now. I've been walking every day so I'm on the road to recovery.
"I feel lucky to have survived and I am very grateful to Martin."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i got married to a woman i was messing with down here in jacksonville north carolina ...she told me she was pregnant showed me a test and everything so we got married immediately after i found out it was fake and she had lied ..i need to get out of this marriage because now she is trying to get compensation from me in which was her whole plot ...is it possible for me to get an annulment or divorce as soon as possible... i have talked to a military lawyer in which i was informed i can file in illinois since i am still technically a resident
The reasons for marriage annulment in Illinois are very specific......so if one of these applies move quickly:
- one of the parties lacked capacity to consent to the marriage because of mental incapacity or infirmity (e.g., dementia, retartdation or intoxication by alcohol or drug induced haze) or was induced by fraud to marry by force or duress or by fraud involving the "essentials of marriage"; (this has to be done within 90 days of the marriage or the petition is timebarred)
- a party cannot consummate the marriage by sexual intercourse and the other party did not know of the inability; (this has to be done within 1 year of the marriage or it is timebarred)
- a party was aged 16 or 17 years and did not have the consent of his parents or guardian or judicial approval; (this has to be done before the minor turns to the age of majority or it is timebarred)
-the marriage is otherwise legally prohibited (like one party was already married and kept that from the spouse) etc....
Also, your spouse cannot claim a common law marriage as that legal theory has been outlawed in Illinois since 1905.
So, seek a court declaration RIGHT AWAY for an annulment. The time limit is strictly applied so you may have to do a divorce.
I don't know what the rules are for North Carolina and I don't exactly agree without a lot more detail that Illinois law applies. How long have you lived in NCAsk a similar question
i am active duty in the military so i have been here for a few years but im leaving soon i talked to a military attorney and was told i can use illinois state laws given that i am still technically a resident
This asker has contacted my office He is a permanent resident of Illinois and should file here. As I mentioned to him in my answer to his earlier question, he can locate many attorneys by clicking on the Find a Lawyer link at the top of this page. He can also seek referrals from friends or relatives here. He resides on the south side of Chicago and his would be a Dalety Center case.Ask a similar question
Yes you can and it sounds like should file for divorce. If you meet the residency requirements for Illinois then you can file there.

do i have to wait to file or can i file now even tho we've only been married for less than 3 months

9 TO 5 is the much-loved revenge comedy about three female office workers (the terrific trio of Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton) in a giant corporation who are subjected to the indignity of a chauvinist boss (played marvelously by Dabney Coleman). They entertain wild fantasies to get even through a series of outrageous incidents. When the film first came to theaters in 1980, it was a huge hit not just because of the quality of the film but because of the subject matter of women being treated fairly in the workplace. Dolly Parton's theme song was nominated for an Academy Award.

The First moveMature
Sweat gleamed on her face and heat seeped through every pore of her body as she slowed the stallion and led it to the stables. Rainer and Black Snow snorted their welcome as Sara tied her ride of the morning in its stall. With a snort, it lowered its head and started to feast on a stack of hay left their by Pablo, the Stable hand. Sara patted its head then went to greet her two other beauties. "Hi!, I see you've eaten without Shadow huh, I bet you're both still good boys, your treat is on me later!" Black Snow stepped closer to her and rubbed it soft gleaming black coat against her dewy face. After a few stokes and a couple glances around the stable, Sara slowly started back to the reality of her life in the circus soon to be shared with her husband, his mistress and their son.
Her heart had slowed considerably since her return but with each step towards the door, her heart rate increased as if she was just setting out to ride. Brushing a stray strand of hair from her face, her heart released a wailing sigh. Silence sung a loud song around the mansion giving her raging thoughts permission to ramp at the front of her mind. The purpose of the ride is now lost. Early morning rides usually left her refreshed and invigorated but not this morning. She has endured so much over the past year that this new development has taken a grave toll on her state of mind. "God! how could I have been so stupid to not realize that it would come to this, how could I after so many lies and so much callousness?" she flung her fist at the air and tried to keep the dew of her eyes at bay
"...You are so worthless! I did not marry a barren woman! if you can't even bear a child, a child for your own husband; how fit are you to wear my ring?" memories of his harsh words beckoned her tears and like pent up rain, they fell. The peace and calm from her ride vanished like declarations of love written on sand. Instinctively; she wrapped an arm around her mid-section then muffling her sobs, she dried her eyes and opened the door.
Everalto glanced through the door of his study when the front door snapped shut. The most he was able to see of his wife before she escalated the glowing mahogany staircase was her green cashmere sweater and the heel of her riding shoes. " ....I need this done within two days, I will check in tomorrow to give further instructions," with that, he replaced the phone to its cradle, leaned back in his leather chair and picked up the picture of him and Sara from his desk. She is a beautiful woman, he mused, her smile radiates and brightens the picture on his behalf. Bright black Eyes crinkle at the corners of her face and hold such joy he was forced to smile in retrospect of the wonderful time that they had on their second vacation in Venice, Italy. Sadly, everything is about to crumble, In the next two minutes, his mind and heart will begin their journey on a roller coaster ride which is all his own doing. The First move had already been made for this downhill ride. Because of Mademoiselle Kirkshaw he had no choice...
Sara's scream shattered the walls, corners, crevices and rooms of the Andrew's private residence like bullets from canons in a third world war.
Everalto's smile fell like a broken winged bird. He rubbed his forehead. The journey has begun.

rain barrel toilet question
At our off-grid cabin I have a rain barrel mounted up by the roof and it supplies the water for flushing the toilet. I have a stupid question. I've been to Home Depot and Ace looking for an adapter that will allow me to hook the two directly together so the toilet fills itself. The rain barrel has a typical "garden hose" spigot. The toilet has the typical connector. Currently to flush the toilet I have to fill the back of the toilet with a short garden hose. I've asked at Home Depot and Ace and the people weren't able to help me. Does such an adapter even exist, what's it called, can I order it online etc?
Here I got you!
Rain barrel -> hose ->
to this (get the 1/2" NPT to Garden hose not the 3/4 inch) ->
to this ->
to this ->
to this ->
to this (this assumes your toilet is a 7/8 fip fitting which seems to be standard) ->
to your toilet.
Asside from the first item ( the adapter) you should be able to get the brass pipe at your local home depot or menards etc. for pretty cheap and avoid shipping charges. Just posted links so you would understand what I mean.
If your rain barrel is higher than your toilet the toilet should then fill and stop like normal.
Hope this helps!
The above poster has it--nutshell version here---
Standard 3/8 inch plastic tubing ---rubber toilet washer---hose cap adapted to 3/8 inch--done.
a filter might help keep leaves and such out of the toilet guts--
thanks for your help. I had given up.
I was bored, pics accompanied below. Hope I got them right.
Show off!! I never learned how to post pictures---
I was thinking of a set up much like an ice maker water line---
3/8 inch plastic tubing right off the rain barrel--then directly into the toilet flush valve --using a rubber compression washer--
Those rubber washers are included in the Fluidmaster toilet gut set--most people just throw them out as they are used with rigid water lines--and most folks like the flexible ones.
What do you think- buy four adapters, or just insert one hose into the other and use a hose clamp? (clamping down on the screw thing so not to crush the hoses and defeat the purpose). It doesn't have to look pretty, just not leak (at least not leak much)
Hopefully my combination of found-on-the-web images and MS "Paint" demonstrates what I mean
You might get only 15 PSI into your toilet, which may result in long fill times.
I would pipe it 3/4" plactic house barb at the ball cock and 3/4" house up to rain barrel.
Simplest way---adapt a female hose fitting to 3/8" plastic tubing--all those parts are in the brass fitting section of any hardware store--run that plastic tubing down to your toilet.
next you need a toilet nut (the nut that screws onto the bottom of the fill valve)
and a rubber compression washer for a toilet water line--(both of these parts are in a fluidmaster fill valve kit-)
Connect the line to the toilet -- slip the toilet nut over the tube--place the black rubber compression washer onto the tube ,rounded side up---screw on the nut--done--

these are hose barbs, cheaper then brass. if i am not mistaken or if they have not changed the threads on a ball cock it is standard pipe thread. screw a 90 3/4" hose barb to the ball cock and run the 3/4" water hose to rain barrel. hose fitting come in plastic too. inexpensive too. Lowes, Tractor supply, home depot. 3/8" will reduce flow
OK if I understand correctly, I have a 7/8" connector on the bottom of the toilet, and I don't want to use a standard 1/2" toilet hose because the long fill times. So I need to find something else?
Wow, lots of posts now!
I had originally assumed the end of your garden hose had the standard garden connector at the end (to thread on nozzles, sprayers etc).
Going off of Hardway's post (#13) you could use a connector (doesn't have to necessarily be a 90 degree elbow, could be straight) with a 3/4" barb into the end of the hose (secured with a hose clamp) and a 1/2" NTP thread on the other. Then attach to a toilet hose.

to your toilet.
This will give you 1/2 supply into your toilet a bit cheaper using nylon.
I know my toilet has a 3/8" supply valve but our municipality supplies water from 40-60 psi. With your reduced pressure the increased diameter should speed up the fill times.

After they all attend Betty's funeral, Insp. Dillon tells Carlos to forget about investigating her murder and let the unit responsible for the investigation do their job. Still feeling the pressure Carlos turns to the corporate version of Alec and shows him the dead version of Kiera. Alec is upset that the Kiera from the other time-line hasn't been honest with him. Meanwhile, a very agile thief is stealing hi tech objects, including an invisibility cloak, from local hi tech firms. After a similar theft at Piron, Alec suggests it's the work of Liber8 but Carlos thinks otherwise. Elsewhere, a man wakes up after being in a coma for 2 months and has no memory of who he is. All he can remember is the name Kiera Cameron. Kiera visits him in hospital but she finds nothing about him in her database and her presence doesn't jog his memory.

Under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Conservatives increasingly see themselves as Canada's new "natural governing party," and their chief aim last year was to avoid an election, according to a leaked cable from the U.S. embassy in Ottawa.
The January, 2010, document, released by the organization WikiLeaks and signed by ambassador David Jacobson, provides a wide-ranging assessment of Canada's federal political scene with a list of the country's top five priorities for that year.
Beyond holding onto power, the Tories' other objectives were to grow the economy, find a resolution to "buy America" provisions in the U.S. stimulus policy, alter the public perception that they were doing little on climate change and end the country's military mission in Afghanistan "as gracefully as possible," the cable claims.
Despite the Tories' recent political success, diplomatic staff noted that the party was weak in Quebec, in the country's three largest cities, and with women and immigrants. In a sign of some prescience, it noted that they "have made some in-roads" recently with all of these groups.
It came as a surprise that the country was not plunged into an election in the fall of 2009, as the NDP had not been expected to back the Tories to ensure employment insurance reform would pass Parliament, the document said. The leftwing party, however, now had no further reason to prop up the government.
"How long into 2010 the Conservatives can face off the opposition parties is a crapshoot; all four parties in Parliament must continually re-examine how well they might fare in a new election and craft their short-term tactics accordingly," it read.
It noted that the Liberals under Michael Ignatieff suffered "many self-inflicted wounds," which could play well for the Conservatives at election time. Both the Grits and the NDP have also failed to find a winning issue, gaining little traction on the treatment of detainees in Afghanistan, it said, adding that the governing party, however, did not want to be blamed for causing an election.
On the economic file, the document said Tories had no "bold measures" at the ready to improve the economy, but were more likely to stay the course in hopes improvements internationally would help out.
"The Conservatives will need to demonstrate slow but steady progress on the economy and to claim credit even when it is not necessarily due to them," it said.
While the government would have to be seen as taking a pro-active approach on climate change, it was unlikely to unveil any "big, sexy initiatives," and had a difficult balancing act. Luckily, the cable notes, the Grits were so damaged by Stéphane Dion's unpopular carbon tax proposal in 2008 that they were unlikely to propose any alternatives.
"After an almost invisible role in Copenhagen, the Conservatives will still want to portray themselves as taking some pro-active steps on the environment to counteract public impressions that Canada is merely following a U.S. lead (however true this may be)."
The Tories' final priority would be a "graceful" exit from Afghanistan by the end of 2011.
There is one caveat on the note: Everything could change were the Tories to win a majority.
On the heels of Jean Chretien's refusal to join the 2003 invasion of Iraq, American diplomats were eagerly looking forward to his retirement and cheering the prospect of a Paul Martin premiership, newly released diplomatic cables reveal.
In the documents, published by the organization WikiLeaks, the United States embassy in Ottawa painted an unflattering picture of the Mr. Chretien during his final year in office, portraying him as a calculating political operator, but lacking a "vision" for his country, with a "reactive and ambivalent" approach to policy-making.
In particular, the embassy took exception to what it termed Mr. Chretien's "bizarre anti-American public musings," including his criticism of president George W. Bush's management of the economy at a G8 summit.
On Iraq, diplomatic staff suggested the PM was attempting to appease the various factions in his caucus while simultaneously avoiding upsetting the U.S.
Early in 2003, the embassy seemed confident Canada would back an invasion to topple Saddam Hussein even if the United Nations did not, but wrote that Mr. Chretien had a penchant for delaying decisions until they were absolutely necessary.
A cable from April of that year, by which time the invasion was under-way, described the Liberal government's policy on the subject as "haphazard and clumsy." After deciding not to take part in the war, Mr. Chretien then attempted to appease the United States by asking the House of Commons to endorse a motion wishing the U.S. and its allies "a quick victory with minimum casualties," it said.
A further missive, signed by then-ambassador Paul Cellucci, suggested Mr. Chretien's seeming frostiness to the U.S. was a political ploy to create headaches for those in caucus who would push him out the door early.
"In this regard, we should not underestimate Chretien's capacity to manipulate the system if it serves his purpose, including to prorogue the Parliament until after the November election and/or sticking around as PM some three months after Paul Martin is elected Liberal Leader," he wrote in June 2003.
The same cable portrayed Mr. Martin as "pro-active," singling out his "pragmatic" desire to warm relations with the U.S. and his plan to share gas-tax revenue with the country's "beleaguered, cash-hungry cities."
It further suggested Mr. Martin would do away with some of his predecessor's legacy initiatives -- including the de-criminalization of marijuana and reform to the financing of political parties.
The missive also engaged in a few bizarre musings of its own, suggesting the entire Liberal leadership race -- which, at the time, pitted Mr. Martin against then-deputy prime minister John Manley and heritage minister Sheila Copps -- had been contrived by the prime minister's office to give the appearance of a genuine contest rather than a "coronation" of Mr. Martin.Report Typo/Error

Strange but true: on the stage in which Sky came under the most pressure from their rivals in the Tour de France, the British team ended up reinforcing their stranglehold on the race, Chris Froome moving up to second overall behind Bradley Wiggins as the 2011 champion, Cadel Evans, came within an inch of losing the race outright.
On a stage crossing three massive Alpine passes and culminating on the summit finish of La Toussuire, Evans did his utmost to break Sky's dominance with a courageous long-distance move on the second pass, the Croix de Fer.
Until that point, the British team had seen everything going to script. On the first ascent, the Madeleine, Edvald Boasson Hagen had driven away at the front of the pack; on the Croix de Fer, the Australian Mick Rogers took over from the Norwegian. Behind him came Richie Porte and roome with Wiggins, seemingly impeturbable, resplendent in yellow.
Evans, though, seemed intent on upsetting the applecart, making what looked – briefly – like a textbook checkmate move. The Australian's BMC team-mates, the best young rider classification leader, Tejay van Garderen, and the Frenchman Amaël Monaird, dropped back from an early break, with Evans bridging across to the duo and locking line astern of his two helpers. Suddenly, rather than Sky having the upper hand, Wiggins had a rival with as much support as he had in the mountains.
But what looked like the most exciting attack of the Tour was over in barely a quarter of an hour. Moinard was not able to help for more than a few hundred yards and then Van Garderen eased up as he realised that Evans was not on a good day. Instead, the defeated Australian dropped back to his usual position behind Wiggins and the Sky train.
Far worse was to come for Evans, as with five kilometres to go Sky – now down to Porte, Froome and Wiggins – upped the pace dramatically in an attempt to bring back a second dangerous attack by Vincenzo Nibali, aka "the Shark of Messina".
Nibali had blasted away the day before, on a difficult descent, so Sky were in no mood to let the winner of the 2010 Tour of Spain move away for a third time in less than 24 hours, particularly as Jurgen van den Broeck, eighth overall, was already up the road. Ironically, it was Evans who paid the highest toll as first Porte and then Froome attempted to reel in Nibali. As Sky intensified their efforts the Australian slid backwards at a slow but steady pace, finishing over 90 seconds back on Froome and Wiggins. Evans dropped from second to fourth overall and is now three minutes and 19 seconds behind Wiggins.
It would however be rash to say, as French television was quick to do, that a rider as tenacious as the former world champion has now lost the Tour.
Evans is clearly not at the level he was last year – at 34 he was the fourth-oldest winner in the Tour's history and his woes may simply be due to age. But given the Australian's almost legendary capacity for dying with his boots on, Sky will be unlikely to give "Cuddles", as Evans is improbably nicknamed, the chance to get back into the game.
"We've taken more time on Evans than I ever expected this morning," Wiggins said. "I was surprised at that, but I was even more surprised at the way he attacked on the Croix de Fer. We were riding a very strong tempo already with Richie and Mick. It's not something I would have had the balls to do."
If Evans is hanging on by his fingernails, there was no such reprieve for the double Tour of Spain winner Denis Menchov. Fifth overall before yesterday's stage, the veteran Russian lost nearly a quarter of an hour.
"It was definitely the hardest stage of the race," Wiggins said. "Even when I got on to the last climb, all I felt when we got to five kilometres to go was relief because I knew from the Critérium du Dauphiné [in which, in 2011, Wiggins defended his lead on this climb ] that the last part of the stage was rolling flat and not so hard."
Just as Froome and Wiggins caught Nibali – "His attacks were pretty severe and he's getting stronger" Wiggins warned, and it seems the Italian, third overall, will now be Sky's most dangerous rival – in a brief moment of confusion, Froome opted to drive ahead by himself. It was a dramatic move that left Wiggins reeling at the back of the bunch and it looked as if Froome – who had been in difficulties just a few minutes before as Wiggins was forced to take over the pursuit of Nibali – was no longer playing a team game. But Wiggins later revealed that according to Sky's plan in the morning, Froome had been given permission to attack in the last kilometres: "As long as I was able to stay with Nibali."
Froome slowed (not at the request of Wiggins, whose race radio was not working) and if his disappointment at missing a second stage win seemed clear, at the very least Sky will leave the Alps with the top two positions overall. "I'll follow orders at all cost, I'm part of the team, and I have to do what the team asks me to," Froome said later. "He [Wiggins] is just as strong as me and stronger than me in the time trials."
Only the stage win escaped the British squad. The day's honours were taken by a Frenchman from the Europcar team for the second time in 24 hours, Pierre Rolland, the winner of last year's Alpe d'Huez stage, following Thomas Voeckler onto the podium.
As the Tour leaves the Alps, though, Sky can be more than satisfied they have come through one of the race's biggest hurdles with their chances of victory in Paris stronger than ever – and possibility of two podium finishers rising fast as well.

Brandon and Brooke Mull own the shop and Brandon has been tattooing since 1995 . Actively involved in the fight to get tattooing legalized in Oklahoma, Brandon was arrested twice for tattooing and challenged the law in court actually beating the system not long before the law was changed. Many articles and news stories were written about the ordeal.
Brandon is also very wide in the range of styles he can tattoo. Brooke is finished with her apprenticeship and is now a licensed tattoo artist!
Brandon, I have 2 cover up's I am needing as well as a few new ones. What do you charge for a consultation?
I was wondering how much it would cost to get the phrase "Philippians 4:13" in a cursive wrighting thank you
I am 17 and I'm starting to look for ideas for my 18th birthday tattoo and I have an idea of what I want but I was wondering seeing if it would cost anything to come in and get a better idea of the tattoo I want. It will be small but it is a memorial tattoo for my grandma that passed r years ago. But all I was wanting to know was would it cost anything to have someone draw it out for me to get a better idea. Thank you
Im so impressed with my coworkers tattoo finally I asked him and gave me this location.
I'm looking to get a small tattoo of a music note on my wrist. It will be my first tattoo. I was wondering how much it would cost? It would be about an inch tall and black.
Do you have any before and after cover-up pictures? I have a tattoo that I got about 18 years ago and I'm wanting it covered up with virtually anything now. I'm thinking I will probably do it this
fall after lake season is over, but I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm going to cover it up. At this point I would feel better of having a total black fill-in than what I currently have.
Looking to get a wizard covered up. This tatt is about 20 years old, I am wanting a half sleeve lion with three roses.. Roses will signify my wife and two daughters..
I can send pic of tatt, I live in bentonville, AR.
