No World For Heroes
Bao-Dur ran down the hallway as best he could. The ship tilted to one side, metal groaning and creaking with protest. His hand reflexively held itself up against the wall of the ship, steadying the body it was attached to. The Zabrak glanced up to see a squad of Republic soldiers cross an intersecting hallway, boots clunking on metal, guns at the ready but with fear on their faces.
Guns'll do no good here, though Bao-Dur. What you need is a damned Star-Class fighter. He doubted that laser fire from a regular hand-held blaster would even graze the heavily armoured hull of a Mandalorian craft. A wave of dizziness swept him and he closed his eyes momentarily. Blasters at the ready? Oh lord, had he been blind. The squad wasn't going to shoot at fighters outside the ship. They had been boarded.
That's why the ship had angled itself – tractor beams. He broke out into a flat run to his cabin on the third deck.
On reaching it, he threw himself in and hit his hand on the door panel, slamming the door shut. Wouldn't keep him hidden from the enemy for long, but gave him just enough time to do what he needed to do.
He scrambled under his bunk, hands groping fervently for something. Pulling what he wanted out, he happened to catch a glimpse of himself in a mirror. Unrecognizable to himself, he had to pull his gaze away quickly to stop his thoughts from following yet another dark path. Blood that had poured from one of his ears and his nose had now caked and crusted onto his face. His left arm was almost mangled – he had been oblivious to the pain until now.
The sonic charges from the Mandalorian war-crafts had lived up to their nasty reputations, alright. Fortunately for the Republic ship, the charges had only managed to damage the anti-freezer compartment sector on the ship. A relatively minor assault considering. Unfortunately for Bao-Dur, he was the tech assigned to handle repairs in that area when the charges went off.
But there was no logic in admitting defeat just yet. Trying heroically to tune out the steady throb of pain in his arm, Bao-Dur turned on the vid-comm he had fished out from under his bunk and punched in some numbers.
The screen flashed to life with a sharp crackle of static, and a Republic commander, no, lieutenant, materialized.
"I have – who the hell are you?" ejaculated the lieutenant incredulously.
"I need to speak with the General." spoke Bao-Dur. He was surprised. His voice sounded more fearful than he had imagined he felt.
"This is a private emergency line, and we are waiting to hear back from – "
Bao-Dur cut him off. "No time. The Discovery is taking some heavy fire. We're near Dantooine, I can't give you my exact coordinates," he paused, out of breath, before continuing, "so you'd better trace 'em from this comm."
A beat. It looked as if the Republic Leiutenant was contemplating the possibility of a hoax versus the legitimacy of this message. He seemed to favor the latter after a careful study of Bao-Dur's blood-stained visage.
"I'm on the trace." He punched in something on his console and shook his head in protest at Bao-Dur. "Sector J-14, area 6538-82? We patrolled the region with a large radius! And the war is over! Mandalore himself has given us his word and has acknowledged defeat!"
Bao-Dur's face scrunched up, and he growled angrily at the screen. "All I know is that these are damned Mandalorian crafts. Either he's pulled a fast one over you and is stalling for time, or a lunatic group of his own have seceded and are now trying to single-handedly bring down Republic ships. Starting with this one."
"But it's just not possible..." insisted the lieutenant, now trying to convince himself more than the frustrated Bao-Dur.
"How's this for "possible", lieutenant? In less than an hour, the Mandalorians will have control of the Discovery, and with it, its weapons and thermo-bombs. Then I think it's possible that they can make short work of Coruscant, and quite easily, turn the tide of this war. So if it's possible for you, send for immediate reinforcements before we begin this futile debate on the limits of damned logic!"
The lieutenant's eyes contained comprehension of the situation and the barest flicker of guilt. "With control of the Discovery, they could easily slip through our security blockades...oh, heavens..." The implications hit him hard.
"I need to speak with General Mataki. I know you have the immediate means to contact her. Please. We're being boarded – I don't have much time."
"Right. I'm transferring you to her private comm." He looked hard into Bao-Dur's eyes, as if trying to take in as much information as he could in as short a time as possible. "Thank you, soldier. Take care." The screen flickered into a stream of static.
I'm no damned soldier, thought Bao-Dur. I'm just a tech. I should be in my work-shop at home right now, improving some of the new droid models. If I had a home, he thought bitterly. It's because of the Mandalorians that I'm here. It's because of them that I hate.
A voice emerged from the vid-comm. "Yes?"
Bao-Dur stared at the screen, momentarily mute. Here she was, Revan's own appointed General. It was her fleet that had defeated Mandalore's. Hers that had amassed the largest Mandalorian body count amongst Revan's army.
"General Mataki, you don't remember me...but we served on the Discovery together several months ago – near Onderon." You commanded, he thought. I just fixed things.
She remembered his name! He nodded. "We're being boarded, General. I...we may not last much longer. They take no prisoners in this game we play."
"Lieutenant Jemmel informed me. He assures me that he is sending a military fleet your way. However," she paused, avoiding eye contact. "I fear that they may not arrive in time."
Bao-Dur was puzzled. The Republic reinforcements would no doubt be able to overpower a small mass of Mandalorians. If worse came to the worst, they could blow up the Discovery before it had a chance to cause serious damage to any planetary systems. Realization soon dawned on him. She wasn't talking about the threat the Discovery posed under new leadership, she was addressing the almost certain fact that he – including many others – may not survive this surprise onslaught.
He may die. Here, now.
"Why did you contact me?" she asked, without any sign of authority in her voice. She sounded like a child who had just been picked for an important round of box-ball in a tournament event by far-superior peers.
He was slightly taken aback. This was not the General he knew. "I...I don't quite know," he admitted. "Maybe it's because you give credibility to this entire mess. You add humanity to it. It's not something that you enjoy doing General, I know that, despite all the tales to the contrary."
General Mataki smiled sadly. "You're getting philosophical on me, Bao-Dur."
"And why shouldn't I? This is likely the most sane conversation I have had in my entire life. And it's even more fitting that we converse in this way before I die."
She did not contradict him, but continued talking. "People die in war. The rules are that whoever has the lowest body count wins. So I have to be prepared to deal out death to my adversaries. There can be no allowances for weakness in this war we fight, because it is this same weakness that the Mandalorians have chosen to exploit. It's simple."
"Except it isn't!" Bao-Dur almost shouted. "I've seen other Jedi. They grow stronger, more powerful with each life they take. And they bask in this power. You feel this power, too. I know this. But instead of fueling you, it consumes you. And this is what gives you your humanity. Your weakness is your strength."
For a moment, it looked as if a wave of pain washed over General Mataki, and she rubbed her forehead with her hand. "Then you are the only one who believes this is so. Bao-Dur, I can only –"
She was abruptly cut off by a sharp fizz and loud bang coming from Bao-Dur's end of the vid comm. Smoke filled the room, and for a second Bao-Dur's outline looked ghostly – a mere silhouette of a conjured being.
"Bao-Dur!" she shouted into the comm. "Are you..." her words faltered, her diminished will failing along with her words.
Another life gone. Another weakness to her heart.
"Who was that?" said the man from the back of the ship.
General Elori Mataki turned around in the jump seat of the ship and looked at the man, her eyes somewhat glazed.
"General?" the pilot asked again.
"The Discovery's being boarded." Her voice sounded flat, dull.
"By who?"
"Disbanded Mandalorians. Mandalore himself informed Revan about this. That some of his clan did not believe in surrender. He said...he said he could not be held accountable for the acts of those outside his clan. Beyond his jurisdiction, he said." She still clasped the vid-comm tightly, unaware that she was doing so.
"Do you believe this is true? Do you sense it?" he asked, eyebrows raised.
"Believe, yes. Sense, no."
"What difference does that make?"
General Mataki remained silent. It made all the difference in the world, she thought to herself as she put down the vid-comm.
As she readied herself to step outside the small craft, Mataki could not help but ponder Bao-Dur's words. She understood them alright, but could not subscribe to them. What strength lies in being fallible? In being weak? Nothing. That's what the war had taught her. She sighed, frustrated at the fact that it was this war that she now customarily turned to for pontifications and guidance. Not her Jedi knowledge.
Trying to justify her reasoning, she theorized that the war had given her many experiences that the Jedi teachings could not. Like the experience of the dark side? said a small but nagging voice. Shoving the disturbing thought to one side, she tried to focus on other immediate feelings.
The war had undeniably given her a much more prominent opportunity to test out her command of the Force. In killing an increasing number of Mandalorian troops, in cutting her lightsaber through their armour and flesh, she honed her gift, sharpened it. Where once she could take on only five Mandalorians on her own, she could now bring down about fifteen.
And she had become quite the strategist. She now knew how to effectively manipulate a poor situation, reversing the tables in favor of her side. And such a reversal almost always meant more Mandalorian lives. More bodies, more faces that wore death masks...
Stop it.
No more fragility. No more shortcomings. But wasn't it weakness that stayed you on this path? Wasn't it frailty that influenced your decision to fight the Mandalorians? You couldn't stand by and serve those innocents who died with inaction. Their pain caused you pain. You felt it because of your vulnerabilities. You felt it because you were weak.
The killing – the needless slaughter of all these people! Who had done nothing to destroy the Mandalorian world! Why did they deserve such violence? Not just the men either. The women, and the children. Not only the fortunate, but the downtrodden as well. Their murderers had to be stopped. Then the death would stop too, followed by an end to this pain.
Only now that the war had come to a close, she still felt pain. And it stung a thousand-fold more than it had before.
Emerging from the exit of the craft, Mataki looked grimly at her surroundings.
Malachor V was a death world. Dark storms more attune to evil than to meteorological phenomena plastered the sky. Its jagged rocks lit up like sharp fangs every time lightning flashed across the sky. Phosphorescent fungi grew in moist niches of these rocks, casting an unnerving green glow in the limited light.
Mataki shook her head slowly in disbelief. I must be mad, coming back here, she thought. Completely insane.
Just over two months ago, she had fought the Mandalorians here on Malachor. The last battle – the decisive one that had ended the war. It was like no other war zone she had ever seen. The terrain had made it so easy for the Mandalorians to hide, ambush their enemies and set mines in.
She and her unit had spent many a sleepless night keeping watch for the slightest form, shadow, or even smell of the enemy. It stretched their nerves close to breaking point, when they could only be relieved and released by the death of their adversaries. Other units would occasionally call in, but more often for help than for regulation updates of the current situation. She had heard many soldiers scream for help with their voices – no words – their voices sometimes tinny and unreal on the comm-links.
One commander, she recalled his name only now, Commander Loe, had managed to reach her while in mid-battle. His unit had stepped into some godforsaken catacombs strewn with booby-traps. When six of his ten men had fallen, Mandalorians, wearing stealth units, had seized this opportunity to take three more of his men down, leaving him huddled tightly in a nook, hiding, praying for life.
She had repeatedly asked him for his position, but he couldn't respond. Mataki believed that the receiving end of his comm-link was malfunctioning. She couldn't, therefore, conduct a reliable trace and could only hear the man's heavy breathing and frightened whispers as she frantically search for his whereabouts. Wandering around with two other soldiers from her unit looking for this man was illogical; it could prove to be a huge waste of manpower if they all died for someone who had fewer odds of surviving regardless.
And die he did. While pleading for his life. She heard him beg over the comm-link, his emotion sounding surreal. And what made it worse is that there was no scream, no yell, from his mouth before he was killed. Just a muffled whump and then silence. She thought the last word he said was "don't".
She felt a hand on her shoulder suddenly, and was startled out of her reverie.
"We should get going. Get this over with."
Her mind unclouded. "Hix. No. Take the craft and leave the fighter." She turned to face the pilot, staring him fixedly in the eyes. "You're done here. Your service to the Republic is over – this is personal business."
Hix's brows furrowed and he shook his head determinedly. "In my profession, "business" doesn't take place on a death hole like this. Personal or professional. There's some other agenda here."
Mataki sighed but refused to relent. "If any Mandalorians were here, we would have seen some kind of electrical abnormality in orbit. They can't breathe without their damned stealth generators."
"I'm not talking about the cursed Mandalorians. I'm talking about Revan. Why not Coruscant? Why couldn't he meet you there?"
"He has rejected the Jedi Order. They will not have him back." she answered, matter-of-factly.
"That's my point, General." His eyes looked pained and tired. "All my life, I've wanted to be a Jedi. I've even willed my blood to have a higher midichlorian count when I was younger. Why? Because the Jedi way is that of fairness, honor, integrity. The light side of the Force binds all living things, connects them. But here," he frowned, "here is hardly the place a Jedi would choose for two friends to reunite after a glorious victory. And even if this were a rendezvous for classified information exchange...I could think of a million better places. You can taste the death here."
"I know," she replied softly. And then more darkly, "You think I can't feel it?"
"Then why do you go?" he asked, confused.
The darkness melted, gaving way to weariness. "To look for answers, Hix. To look for answers."
Two long hours later, the pair chugged their way down some steep terrain, trying to avoid slipping down a pseudo-demure looking rock. Mataki had fervently tried to convince Hix to return to home base on Alderaan, but he was adamant that he remain at her side.
She had known Hix for six months now; he served as one of the pilots on three missions with her. He was a simple-minded fellow, but with a good heart. His thoughts usually dwelled on the immediate future, and gave little time to contemplating consequences. He trusted instinct even more than she did, she thought rather sheepishly. And not being Force-sensitive, it proved to be a downfall for him on most occasions.
She hoped this wouldn't be one of those times.
"There it is...the Core." she muttered, as they came to a ledge. They stood on its edge, looking down into a well formed small valley, the floor of which contrasted strikingly from the texture of Malachor's terrain.
She pointed with her finger and a dark gaping hole at the foot of the valley, "And there's the front door."
Hix swallowed in nervousness. "There? We have to go in there?"
She turned to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Go back. You have come with me this far, and I am grateful for it. I told you that you no longer serve the Republic. I have the authority to release you from my command. Go home, Xavier – to your family. Be a free man. Don't let nightmares like this tie you down."
His jaw tightened. "I have no family." And then, on Mataki's shocked face he admitted, "Yes, my wife and son succumbed to their injuries weeks before the Mandalorians were defeated. There's nothing for me now. I serve the Republic. And my loyalty lies with it, and withthose who enforce its laws."
Mataki's unrest grew. "But you should not be tied to this...to this," she mumbled, the rest of her words growing incoherent. "You're a free man. I don't understand why you deny yourself freedom when it's set on a platter before you!"
"Maybe serving you – serving the Republic – maybe that's my concept of freedom." He shrugged, not allowing her to discuss the matter further.
Before they climbed down, however, Mataki spoke. "I can't force you against your own will...but I will tell you. Whatever I do, or don't do in there...I will not be held responsible for. I...I don't think I will have the strength to save us both."
Hix looked at her briefly, and then smiled. "We'll see."
The walls inside the tomb-like hallway were smooth, and intricate designs carved into them. Almost beautiful, if you subscribed to morbidity, she thought. There were other smaller corridors, poorly lit, that branched out from the main one. She followed thebigger hallway and was lead into a huge circular room, lit by hidden lamps that cast a red glow on her surroundings.
She spoke to Hix, her back turned to him. "Wait outside."
"But – "
"Do it." Her voice was different now. More commanding than it had ever been.
She felt him walk away, almost dejectedly. No time to worry about his injured pride. She couldn't dwell on others' feelings any more. No good came of it during the war, and she was certain no good would come of it now.
"Precisely my sentiments." said another male voice from the end of the room.
She hadn't heard that voice in person since the beginning of the Mandalorian wars. And even now, hearing it, she was startled. There was such formidable conviction in it! Clarity. It made everything make sense.
"Revan." she whispered.
He emerged from the shadows, his face covered by a steel mask, his head hooded and a dark cape flowing from his neck. He seemed taller now than she had last remembered him. And definitely more powerful. But it didn't frighten her.
"Elori. I know you're not afraid...and you have absolutely no reason to be. I am the same friend you knew since our Padawan days. And I come to you now, in the same way I came to you then, to ask for your help."
"Not quite the same..." ventured Mataki.
Revan shrugged. A curiously normal gesture for one so impressive. That was what had drawn her to him and his beliefs before the war. He could wield the Force so skillfully, better than most – definitely better than herself – and yet be so humble. He carried more authority on his shoulders yet he could reduce himself with ease and grace to menial tasks if the need arose.
"You think so?" he responded.
Mataki was certain he was smiling behind that mask. But as to what the nature of the smile was, she could not tell. And the first feelings of uneasiness began to stir within her.
"Doesn't matter. What matters is that we have won this war. We seized the reigns of opportunity to do what was right, and we were rewarded. How do you feel?"
"Your question...it holds a multitude of answers." she replied.
"Ah yes, rather simple-minded. I agree." he looked past her when she said this. "Let me pose it to you a different way then. Do you feel like we did the right thing? Do you feel liberated?"
No. "Should I?"
"I can't tell you how to feel. But I can tell you how I do. I'm a new man, Elori. The Jedi teachings, the ancient lore...it was like a claustrophobic cave. This – letting my heart do the thinking – it's essential for us. As sentient beings, we need this to survive. We need to act on our feelings."
"Revan. Surely you're not as foolish as to think that I am not aware of where this is going...?"
"I've always enjoyed being in your presence. You're direct and to the point. Which is why I decided to take that tactic with you."
"You're asking me to join you. To turn." The steady sound of her voice did nothing to unmask the growing feelings of worry curling its way around her heart. So fast. This was happening so fast! She was a fool not to foresee this.
"No, I'm asking you to forsake the Jedi teachings. To embrace more knowledge – not one fragment of it. Why read one paragraph of a book when the entire volume is available to you? Right at your feet?"
"I am not Sith."
Revan cocked his head to one side. "Neither am I. Would the actions of the Sith have defended the people threatened by the Mandalorians?"
Her mind jogged around in circles. "Maybe the intent of your actions have changed direction,"
"I disagree. What I feel now is an exponential growth of exactly what I felt before we began this war. I am not bound to a decomposing belief. The Republic, however, is. Why? Because the Reublic is a static body, fueled by an even more static soul – the Jedi Order. Stagnant. Dormant. Immobile. You get the gist of what I'm saying. It's inevitable that some other faction should arise on seeing the Republic's weakened state, and take advantage of this situation. We cannot allow that to happen. We must restore order."
Mataki felt the tug of his words, but strangely enough, not as strongly as before. What bridged the gap between them, she wondered? "I have served, Revan. This war – I pray that it is the last I fight,"
"That's exactly my point!" he gestured emphatically with his finger. "If we take a hold of the Republic, this will be the last war you've fought."
"And how do you propose to take a hold of the Republic?" she was tired again. Weary. The will toargue againsthis logic was slackening. She should have anticipated this, she told herself once more. Revan was undeniably a brilliant strategist. In thought, actions, and words.
"We are heroes. The light shines on those who defied the stubbornness of the Council to end bloodshed. The Republic see us as their saviours, and in truth, we are. If we lead the Republic, we will keep our word that we shall maintain peace. And they will be grateful for it."
Mataki's head grew heavy. She clutched it suddenly. "But...Revan, there's so much death. We can't buy power with all this blood. Something will give."
"That's your weakness talking. Who are you? Where's the mighty General Mataki who helped lead us to victory?"
Her head began to throb ever so slightly. She looked at him through heavy-lidded eyes. "I have lost her."
"How?" he sounded surprised for the first time in their somewhat one-sided conversation.
"I think I know now." With that, Mataki's knees buckled and she sank to the ground. The pain was growing steadily higher. She sat, almost in a kneeling position, arms hanging listlessly by her sidelooking up at him. This dark thing that was once her friend. "All those people I've killed...all those people the Mandalorians killed. Vicious, uh…"The pain was almost blinding now. She shut her eyes tight, and vivid images of the dead, the dying, the mutilated, the tortured crashed like violent waves into her head. "...Cycle."
She opened her eyes and stared at her hands. She was crying now. Tears streaming down in a seemingly endless flow. She seemed unaware of it. She heldher hands up to her face. "There's so much blood on them...too much,"
Revan walked around her in a circle slowly, like a jungle cat prowling some invisible perimeter, letting nothing out alive. "Then you see that you have no choice..."
"No. More. Death." she pleaded. "No...lives. No more. I can take no more."
"Then I will. On your behalf, old friend." With that he stretched out his hand and drew something from the shadows and into the red light.
Out of the corner of her blurred vision, she saw Hix, suspended in mid-air. By his throat.
No! cried out a voice inside of her.
"Strike me, Elori. Hate me, and I will let him go. He's innocent. If you have a quarrel, it is with me. Not him. Spare him."
Not this way, said the voice. There are so many ways to exploit your weaknesses. And there are right times to give in, and wrong times.
"If you fight to save the innocent, then prove it! Do not let one more die on account of your failings! Grasp your true destiny and rise again!" spoke Revan. His words seem to come from inside her head.
She managed to look at Hix, in the eyes, and read the fear clearly. It strengthened her resolve to hate Revan. To hate the Republic. To hate the vulnerable for being just so. But there was also something else.
"Save...us, both," croaked Hix suddenly.
Elori Mataki blinked. How? She couldn't fight Revan in the true sense of the word. It was a stalemate. There was no choice. No other option.
"Save...possible...even in death," gasped Hix valiantly.
Revan tightened his grip considerably. "Choose quickly." he growled.
A million neurons fired off in Mataki's head at once. Strength varies. To Bao-Dur humanity and empathy was strength. To Revan, it meant just the opposite. But what did it mean to her? Bao-Dur meant something to her, just as Hix did at this very moment. Her heart was with them. Choose quickly, came an echo amidst the pain.
Staring at Hix's immobilized form, she saw his thumb flick across something egg-shaped. It took a moment for her to register. His eyes darted towards the exit and towards the plasma grenade. He was telling her to run. It was possible to be saved even through his death. If it came the right way, of course.
Hix slid his thumb under the pin, and pulled. Revan let his grip slack and Hix thudded to the floor.
My heart is with you, she thought as she darted out the exit.
Elori had just stepped into the hallway when the explosion went off. The impact threw her forward violently, face down- she had a vague mental image of a large hand shoving her to safety, and she skidded across the marble floor. Soon coming to a halt, she raised her head. Was it done? Was it over? She closed her eyes and attempted to stretch out with her feelings...and felt nothing. Dead, then. But not only could she not sense the life of Hix or Revan, but she could not feel stench of Malachor, as she had felt many times before.
Before she could contemplate anymore, Mataki felt a sharp blinding pain in her right arm. Grudgingly looking at it, she saw a solid-sized rock had fallen, followed by a series of smaller ones, falling down in cascades. Wha...? The roof was caving in.
She pushed herself to rise– feeling her weight strongly now – and ran out the entrance.
She half-limped and half-ran through Malachor V's jagged pathways. Her right arm was almost certain broken and she had several cuts on her head from falling debris from the explosion. Everything ached. It was so much more difficult to find her way back to the craft. She thought she had lost a large percentage of her sight, but that was not the case as she could see clearly around her.
It didn't matter now. Hix had died to give her this freedom. She'd be damned if she threw it away for something as ridiculous as a small worry.
She staggered to the cockpit, clutching her side. Strapping herself in, she exhaled slowly and set the craft to take off automatically. Leaning her head against the seat, she closed her eyes and slept.

I'm a 59 year old retired male, recent widower, father of four and grandfather. I enjoy skiing, fishing, hiking and spending time with my family.
I have so many great memories at this condo. My wife and I took our children here for many years. They learned to ski here and our family fell in love with all that the Sun Valley area has to offer. Now my children are making their own tradition of bringing their families to this one of a kind spot.
Since losing my soul-mate of 38 years, I have come to realize that I am simply the steward of a special place like this and it is time for me to share it with others. I believe this is the most beautiful location in Sun Valley.

The Wade family lives in Marietta, GA. about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. We vacationed in Crystal River rental homes for years before finally buying a vacation home here. We wanted a home in the family-friendly north end of Crystal River and our house is perfectly situated for what we were looking for. We considered Panama City Beach as a vacation home location and vacationed there often while making the decision between CR and PCB. We decided we like the nature coast best because there are no high-rise condos here in one of the last remaining natural areas of Florida, but Crystal River still offers all the modern conveniences of shopping, restaurants, supermarkets, movie theaters, a mall, quaint shops in the historic district, and more. It has everything we were looking for in a family friendly neighborhood.
Chuck Wade purchased this house in 2014
We chose Crystal River because it is so much more quiet and peaceful than other places we vacationed. We also enjoy watching the manatees and other wildlife from our sunroom and pool area. Our dream was to watch the manatee while enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. We also love the fishing and boating in the area, and being certified scuba divers our entire family likes diving and snorkeling the natural springs in and around the area.
After staying at dozens of different vacation rental homes we stopped and made a list of all the things we liked, and didn't like. We picked this house with all of that in mind. We furnished the house with brand new furniture; all very good quality beds, mattresses, sheets and comforters. But the home is not cluttered like so many of the rental homes we stayed in. The kitchen is equipped with all the items you would find in your own kitchen, including quality knives, flatware, appliances, plates, wine glasses, napkins, towels, pots and pans, soap, detergent, and spices — everything you would need. There is a washer and dryer, iron, an ironing board, and bathroom supplies if you forget something. We want your family to enjoy yourselves and come back for many years. You can reach us at (404) 374-8523 to book one of the best vacations your family will ever have.
Well this was by far one of the best vacations of my life. My wife and I wanted a peaceful weekend and booked this house. For the first time in my life I felt more at home here than in my own house. Every single detail was taken care of. The house was perfect and the owner went completely out of his way to make sure we had the best vacation of our life. He was extremely generous and made us feel like family and not a renter. This house was perfect in every way possible with awesome views and wildlife. We relaxed in a heated pool then got on the kayakes to see manatees. This is the perfect way to spend your money and vacation. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. If you want the perfect place to stay and feel completely at home look no further! A++++++++++
Nice comfy house in a hard to beat neighborhood, well appointed and well maintained. Chuck and his wife work harder than most keeping their properties in A-1 condition. We'll be back.
Barney & Robin Podlaski
Perfect stay in Crystal River.The kids loved the pool, fishing and kayaking. We missed only the manatees.
Everything was lovely..the place was as pictured ..we did not use all the extras ie: bikes, kayaks boat, etc but they were there for our use..my husband brought his own bike from home and rode it everyday while, I loved the heated pool and got to swim in it each day..
Thanks to Chuck who responded to our phone call immediately about a small issue on the day of our arrival, and we were able to correct the problem...
We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again for next year already...
We've stayed in numerous houses over the past 15 years and Chuck is without a doubt the friendliest and most helpful owner we've ever dealt with. Nobody else is even close. His response time almost instant. The house was everything we read about, plus more. Chuck put a lot of thought into stocking the house with almost everything you can think of. (spices, plenty of pots and pans, skillet, crock pot, coffee pot, filters, coffee, Tupperware, pool toys, floats and noodles, grill, charcoal, fishing poles, Avon Skin so soft, etc.) The master bed was very comfortable and had plenty of hangers, drawers and shelves for our clothes. The leather couches and chairs are so comfortable and perfect for an afternoon nap. The showers had good water pressure and plenty of warm water. We were also fortunate enough one day to have 4 manatees spend a few hours floating and playing three feet from our dock.
We used the bikes and kayaks quite a few times and spent just about every day in the pool, which was between 84 and 86 degrees every day. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. We loved our time at this house and look forward to another of Chuck's house in 2018. If you want a wonderful house with everything included, please stay at one of Chuck's house. You will not regret it.
This is a wonderful property. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and everything worked perfectly. Cable tv and the internet worked great. The pool and yard are well maintained. The pool was a major factor for us renting this property - loved it! Kayaking was great, but we didn't get to see any manatees while out. Having the nature area right next door was a real treat. We walked the nature trails a lot. On the walks we saw a gator, turtles, an otter, birds, pelicans, egrets, armadillos, wild pigs, and lots of fish. It was GREAT!!
Chuck and Staci were very responsive. I got a reply usually within minutes. They have made this property very memorable. Thanks for all the play toys that are available.
I do not hesitate to recommend this property.
There is so much to do in Crystal River. It is a family-friendly, nature focused, beautiful, peaceful area. If you enjoy kayaking you are welcome to use our 4 Kayaks w/ paddles & rod holders. You can also rent kayaks at Crystal River Watersports just minutes from the house. Kayaking and kayak fishing in the canal, the river and in Ozello is relaxing and fun! Feel free to use our 2 Sun bikes to ride all over Crystal River. The town is designed for bicycle-riding.

7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol. 20)
Hosted at ConversionDiary.com
|This time, last year
It's hard to believe that this is my 20th Quick Takes post, which means I am up to 140 quick takes in all (7 x 20 = 140, for your humanities majors out there). It's especially hard to believe because I didn't think I'd even had 140 complete thoughts since having children, let also recorded them for posterity. So, congratulations to me. And to all of you, for sticking around this long.
I took an IQ test 10 weeks ago, and another one today, and my IQ dropped by nearly 20 points. I blame the children.
If you don't mind your blog posts with a side of profanity, you should check out my latest ES post. Before you read it, look at the picture and see if you can figure out what happened. Leave me a comment if you were able to guess correctly.
Our dinner swap, now in week four, continues to go well. The sausage and cream soup that Kit gave us this week was just like my favorite soup at Olive Garden. Amazing. Apparently her children were not as into the cauliflower lasagne I gave them. Oh well, you can't win 'em all. Next week: falafel.
My book club is currently reading This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper, and I absolutely love it. If you enjoy humorously poignant stories about dysfunctional families, you need to head to your library straight away and get your hands on this one. A word of warning, though: the author spares no details when it comes to the characters' sex lives. It's a little much at times, but the book is so good that I can let it go. But I feel like I need to share this because I'd hate for someone to read the book because I recommended it, and then be scarred for life. So, consider yourself forewarned.
"Humorously poignant stories about dysfunctional families" definitely sounds like one of the categories of movies on Netflix. It is amazing how specific those things can get: Dark comedies of New England with a British Lead Actor, for example. Okay, well, not really, but kind of. According to a New Yorker article that I started recently, Netflix has 10,000 such categories. I wonder how that compares to the number of movies that are available. I imagine there is quite a bit of overlap in the categories, but who knows? I could be wrong.
Is anyone else out there watching House of Cards? Thanks to the kids, we haven't been able to binge watch the second season, which is probably a good thing, because the characters are evil enough at a rate of 2-3 episodes per week. It is so good, though.

Financial Aid Fee Deferment Criteria
A Financial Aid Fee Deferment does not pay your fees and does not waive your fees.
A Financial Aid Fee Deferment permits eligible students to delay payment of class
registration fees. Deferments are issued based on the expectation that fees will
be paid by financial aid. This deferment allows students with unpaid fees to remain
registered for classes, but only until the fifth week of the semester.
WARNING! If you are issued a fee deferment but subsequently discontinue to meet the criteria listed below, your fee deferment will be removed; you will be responsible for paying your own fees and meeting the fee payment deadlines in effect at the time. If your deferment is removed and you do not meet payment deadlines, you will be subject to disenrollment from classes.
Students utilizing a fee deferment to postpone payment of tuition and/or class registration fees agree to:
- Have university tuition and fees paid out of their financial aid awards.
- Be responsible for paying any balance due for tuition and fees by the end of the fifth week of the semester if financial aid to pay these fees in full has not been disbursed by the beginning of the fifth week.
- Acknowledge that they will be subject to disenrollment from classes if fees and tuition are not paid in full by the end of the fifth week of the semester.
To receive and remain eligible for a fee deferment, students must meet all of the following criteria. Fluctuations in any of this criteria, most commonly enrolled units and EFC (due to FAFSA corrections submitted by the school or student), may cause you to lose or gain deferment eligibility.
- Maintain enrollment in at least 6 undergraduate units, 4 graduate (200 series) units or 3 doctoral (500 series) units for the term
- Meet Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress requirements
- Have a Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) for the current year on file with the Financial Aid Office.
- Have completed all Financial Aid TO DO items
- Have a current Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of 5234 or less OR Have accepted Federal Perkins, Direct or PLUS Loan for the term
- Have been admitted to a Degree or Teacher Credential granting program: Bachelors, 2nd Bachelors, Cal State Teach, Teacher Credential, Masters, or Doctorate
- Have accepted student loans in "good standing" and owe no repayment of financial aid to the Department of Education
- Have no drug convictions that will prevent you from receiving financial aid
- If you have been disqualified for Satisfactory Academic Progress reasons, you have been given a one time fee deferment for the July 29, 2016 fee payment deadline. No future fee deferments will be issued for future fee payment deadlines. SAP disqualifications must either be resolved by August 19, 2016 or a payment must be made to prevent disenrollment from the next fee payment deadline.
If you have any questions about your Fee Deferment eligibility, please call the Financial Aid Office at: (559)-278-2182

4 - Egypt and Jordan - Cairo
I ventured to Egypt and Jordan in February 2009. From my first glimpse of the pyramids from the airplane to Petra and Jerash, it was a great journey.
Trinkets galore at the famous Khan el Khalili market
and something for every taste, no matter how bad that taste is
Limitless shawls--probably from India
Caroline and Lauren negotiating. They had bought this exact shawl in Paris for 30 Euros. Bought it here for US $8. Practically paid for the trip!
The Khan el Khalili market is fascinating.
and full of everything you can imagine
and things you could never imagine
Interesting vistas through the market archways
The famed Fishawy Cafe is where the Nobel prize winning Egyptian author Mafouz used to hang out.
Lauren and Caroline at the Fishawy Cafe
The Fishawy Cafe reflected in the mirrow
We had tea in the Khan el Khalili square
The Khan el Khalili/Al Hussein square
And THIS is the market for the locals. Tourists are not welcomed. Oh, dear and I so wanted to go! (not)
This famous "pancake" house serves an item very unlike our pancakes. Sort of like a meat pie (and other fillings) in phyllo dough. Very tasty.
The city of 1000 minarets.
The girls try the Muslim look
Caroline at the Hassan Mosque. Great eyes, eh?
Conversation of a street corner
Citadel mosque

An afternoon date
Louise and I in front of the Egyptian Museum where all the King Tut loot is found. Security VERY strict. Police everywhere.
Buying perfume outside the market
Going home after a birthday party. I thought this was so cute.
Sequoia nightclub on Zalamek Island.
Navigating the median on the impossible-to-cross Cairo streets
Cairo Traffic at 10 AM
Cairo Traffic at 10 PM
The Nile from our hotel room
I lied. I said there were no traffic lights in Cairo. I stand corrected. There is ONE traffic light in Cairo. Oops, it's NOT WORKING!
Mosque of Sultan Hassan. This is a massive mosque built in the 1300's funded from the estates of those who had died of the black death. This theft of property led to the downfall of the Sultan.
The Mosque of Sultan Hassan was also a Madrasa (school). These are the rooms where the students lived.
Next door to the Hassan Mosque is the Mosque of ar-Rifai, the project of a rich princess who intended the mosque as a tomb for her family. These are the tombs of three queens of King Farouk. I love the one in center. She was French and he gave her a French inspired tomb.
Did you know that the Shah of Iran is buried in Cairo at the Mosque of ar-Rifai? No other Arab country would take him, but the Shah had helped Egypt during a fuel crisis years ago and it was their way of repaying him.
The Mosque of Ibn Tulun. Recently restored, this is a massive mosque with the biggest courtyard one can imagine. The crenellations along the top of the wall are supposed to have been inspired by ranks of standing soldiers.
Close up of the crenellation inspired by soldiers
Mosque door
Mosque door 2

Archway in Old Cairo with turquoise "evil eyes" for protection

I loved the way all these arches lined up
You see horses all the time on the street for transport. Notice--no saddle or stirrups.
Getting ready for a day of work
A playground.
I cannot tell you how fast this woman was walking. How do they do this?
Head covering is the letter of the law. Many girls wear jeans and form revealing sweaters.

1 in 4 Florida adults aren't registered to vote, according to non-partisan group05/29/17Legislature
TALLAHASSEE — Nearly five million people in Florida who are eligible to vote aren't registered, according to a nationwide non-partisan group that helps improve the accuracy of state voter rolls.
The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) also estimates that there are also nearly 1 million problematic registrations in Florida. They are people who are registered in another state, two Florida counties, or who have died or changed their names....
Starting the veto clock? Rick Scott likely to get budget Tuesday05/26/17 Blog
As a long Memorial Day weekend gets underway, the biggest and most controversial piece of legislation to emerge from the 2017 session, the budget, was still in the Senate's hands on Friday -- a safe distance from Gov. Rick Scott's veto pen.
A knowledgeable Capitol source says the Senate plans to deliver the $82.4 billion budget to Scott next Tuesday, May 30 (Senate President Joe Negron's office did not confirm that timetable). If that happens, a 15-day clock begins ticking and Scott would have until June 14 to act, but what are expected to be extensive line-item vetoes, along with a possible veto of the K-12 public education funding formula, won't take the governor nearly that long. Last year, Scott issued $256 million in promised vetoes even before he received the budget....
John Tupps is Gov. Rick Scott's new communications director05/25/17 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott has named John Tupps as his new communications director, replacing Jackie Schutz Zeckman, who was promoted to chief of staff. The appointment takes effect June 5.
Tupps, 33, is currently vice president of government relations at VISIT Florida and is a former deputy chief of staff at the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. His new job is a homecoming of sorts as he previously worked in Scott's press office from 2011 to 2016 in various roles, including deputy communications director....
Gov. Rick Scott vetoes 'liquor wall' repeal05/24/17 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday vetoed the hotly-debated "liquor wall" bill that would have repealed a Prohibition-era law that prevents grocery stores from selling hard liquor. The governor offered a hint of his thinking a day earlier when, in response to a reporter's question, he said one factor would be the past struggles with alcoholism among members of his family. But he said the decision came down to his signature issue -- jobs....
Gov. Rick Scott's family history of alcohol abuse could decide 'liquor wall' bill05/23/17Legislature
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott must decide Wednesday whether to let Walmart and other big-box stores sell liquor, and he says a factor in his decision is the history of alcohol abuse in his family.
Scott has the last word on one of the session's most heavily-lobbied issues — one that divided powerful special interests. The bill on his desk would repeal a decades-old law that prohibits groceries from selling vodka, gin and other spirits, even though they can sell beer and wine....
Environmentalists praise pick of Noah Valenstein as DEP chief05/23/17 Blog
Two of Florida's premier environmental organizations praised Tuesday's decision by Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet to appoint Noah Valenstein as the state's new environmental secretary.
Representatives of the Everglades Foundation and Audubon Florida both hailed the choice of Valenstein, a former executive director of the Suwannee River Water Management District who previously served as Scott's environmental adviser....
Will Rick Scott sign or veto 'liquor wall' bill? Two big clues here05/23/17 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott has until Wednesday to decide the fate of one of the most heavily-lobbied bills in years, the removal of the so-called "liquor wall" so that Walmart, Target and other big box stores can sell liquor. Publix and local chain liquor stores tried mightily to kill the bill but it squeaked through the Senate, 21-17, and the House, 58-57, after years of intense lobbying on both sides. The lobbying is now aimed at Scott -- and the clock is ticking....
Supporters of state parks tell Rick Scott: 'Veto this bad budget'05/23/17 Blog
Another statewide advocacy group wants Gov. Rick Scott to reject the state budget and call the Legislature back to work. Supporters of state parks asked Scott to "veto this bad budget" passed two weeks ago, accusing lawmakers of turning their backs on land conservation and park protection.
In a release, the Friends of Florida State Parks called the 2017 session "a huge disappointment for our environment and specifically our state parks. Not only did the Legislature zero out dollars for any land acquisitions in Florida Forever, but it also completely rebuffed efforts by Gov. Scott and the Department of Environmental Protection to fully fund the land management requests of DEP."...
For Gov. Rick Scott, 'fighting' could mean vetoing entire state budget05/22/17 State Roundup
Every day, Gov. Rick Scott is getting a lot of advice.
School superintendents from Miami to Pensacola want him to trash the entire $23.7 billion public school budget that would increase spending $24 per pupil next year.
That would force Scott and the Legislature to start over in a special session, with the new fiscal year only six weeks away.
The last time an education-only veto happened was in 1983, when Gov. Bob Graham blasted his fellow Democrats for their "willing acceptance of mediocrity" in public education....
What would a veto of Florida's education budget do?05/22/17 Blog
Every day brings Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature closer to an inevitable clash over the state budget.
County school superintendents from Miami to Pensacola want Scott to trash the K-12 education chunk of the budget that increases spending by $24 per pupil next year. A similar education-only veto of that size hasn't happened since 1983 when Gov. Bob Graham blasted his fellow Democrats' "willing acceptance of mediocrity" in public education....

Election experts begged lawmakers for new tool to fight voter fraud, but got nothing05/17/17 State Roundup
TALLAHASSEE — As President Donald J. Trump repeatedly makes unfounded claims of people having voted twice in the last election, Florida had an easy way to make it much less likely.
But the state Legislature did nothing.
Ignoring pleas from county election experts across the state, lawmakers ended the 2017 session last week without passing a law that would improve the reliability of voter rolls by making it easier to find voters who are registered to vote in Florida and another state or who are registered in Florida and died in another state....
Rick Scott names Jackie Schutz Zeckman as new chief of staff05/16/17 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday appointed his communications director and chief spokeswoman, Jackie Schutz Zeckman, to succeed Kim McDougal as chief of staff.
"Jackie has been on my team since my first year in office and has done a great job leading my communications efforts and conveying my vision of Florida as the best destination for families and businesses," Scott said in a statement. "Along with her work on my communications team, Jackie was an integral part of my reelection efforts and has continued to be a trusted advisor in all aspects of implementing our agenda for Florida. I have full confidence that she will do an outstanding job as my chief of staff."...
With Latvala alongside, Rick Scott renews threat to veto budget05/15/17 Blog
MIAMI -- Gov. Rick Scott blasted the Florida Legislature again Monday for refusing to support VISIT Florida's tourism marketing efforts and he again floated the threat of vetoing the entire budget.
At a press conference at Jungle Island, a Miami tourist attraction, Scott was joined by Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, who joined in the governor's criticism and said he hopes Scott calls a special session that would restore VISIT Florida's money....

Habits of Deep People Gabfest Edition
The panelists have much to talk about this week: ongoing conflict in the Middle East, another think piece about Millennials, the latest in television and film news, and much more.
On the political spectrum, the panelists discuss the new round of violence between Israel and Hamas and the New York Times' prediction that Millennials may someday lean right politically.
On the cultural side, the critics discuss Bong Joon-ho's new film Snowpiercer, a dark political allegory with the action sequences and budget of a summer blockbuster. Next, the gabbers turn to the British sitcom Vicious, starring Ian McKellan and Derek Jacobi as two "vicious queens" who have lived together for almost fifty years. And finally, the critics take on David Brooks, who spoke at this year's Aspen Ideas Festival about our culture's overvaluation of shallow success. Is a wildly successful apologist for unfettered capitalism the appropriate advocate for emotional depth?
You'll find links to some of the items mentioned in this episode on the Political Gabfest and Culture Gabfest show pages. You can also join the Gabfest discussion all week long at the Political Gabfest Facebook page and the Culture Gabfest Facebook page.

Sierra Faux Snakeskin Bootie
The latest addition to the list of pieces we can't live without is booties. We love them for the fact that they are casual and comfortable enough to wear everyday, but have the chic elements to elevate most looks. With features like a stacked wooden heel, metal buckle accents, and a textured faux snakeskin exterior, this pair easily surpasses the criteria we usually look for.

Seeing the Future; poem
Poem by: Mike Stevens
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
No Houses
Seeing the Future
Like Mr. Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol', I was given
A look at the future; here's what I saw:
A world without war; a world without poverty;
A world without racial hatreds;
A world without bias of any kind;
A world of inclusiveness; a world of tolerance
A world of everyone being considered equal;
A world without religious tensions
I liked what I saw, but then I realized I was only dreaming,
And I awoke to this dreary place!

That would truly be paradise. Sadly, that is how it should be and not something we have to dream and hope for. Love your thoughts though. :) Sherry
Too bad this has to be a dream and not a reality. Reminds me of John Lennon's song, "Imagine". Maybe someday.
A beautiful dream Mike! If only it could become a reality.
Good writing and much enjoyed. :)
It may be a dream, but it's not to say we shouldn't aspire to such things.
If we walk in a direction then even of the earth moves under our feet then we can have an effect on the direction we are going
Yeah, well, Mike, that had to be a dream!!

Defense Department general counsel Jeh Charles Johnson told the House Armed Services Committee that some suspected terrorists might be transferred to the U.S. for prosecution and others sent to a facility inside the U.S. for long-term incarceration. Johnson also said no prisoners would be released from custody inside the country. Administration officials had raised those possible moves before, but Congress in June passed a law that would allow detainees held at the Navy-run prison in Cuba to be transferred to the U.S. for prosecution only after lawmakers have had two months to read a White House report on how it plans to shut the facility and disperse the inmates. Congress also blocked all funding for the transfer of any Guantanamo detainees into the United States for the 2009 fiscal year ending Sept. 30. President Barack Obama has ordered the Guantanamo facility closed by January 2010. The White House is considering both civilian federal jails and military prisons for potential future incarceration for prisoners facing criminal prosecution, military tribunals, or long-term detention without a (rial. Assistant Attorney (ieneral David Kris said at the same hearing. More than 50 have been cleared for transfer to another country. An administration task force is still sorting through the remaining prisoners to determine their fates. The panel has made determinations in about halt the cases, according to a fiis-tice Department official who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Government lawyers in both the Obama and Bush aiiminis-trations say that an unspecified number of detainees ihev consider especially dangerous should continue to be held without trial. Some of the evidence against them is classified or thin, and the government fears these detainees could be released should they be given their day in court. Johnson also said the Obama administration has not yet determined where it will hold newly captured al-Qaida or Taliban prisoners for extended detention after (iuantanamo Bay's prison closes. The Bush administration established the jail at (iuantanamo shortly iilter the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to hold and interrogate susf)ecneti tem)rists. It has held about 780 {)ris( )ners. About 550 of them have been returned to their home countries or resettled in other places. Roughly another 50 have been approved for transfer to other countries, pending those governments' approval. The Obama administration on Friday signaled it intends to bring a second Guantanamo Bay detainee to the United States for trial.

Fervid ConcessionsMature
A regular night turns into an indulgence that one can't ever take back.
I closed the window and walked away from the computer. I could feel thick drops of liquid slide slowly down my leg. My hands were trembling from what I'd just done. It felt great. Yet I felt so dirty, so sinful.
I looked over at the blank screen cautiously, as if it would fiendishly coerce me into another indulgence. I crawled into my bed, throwing the covers over me. As my fingers brushed against each other I noticed their moisture. I stared at what had oozed out of me in the darkness. It had seemed as if in those few moments of pleasure, my innocence had escaped me. Grief-stricken, I shut my eyes angrily, sobbing softly until slumber took me over.

State BJP stalwart and former Deputy Chief Minister, Sushil Kumar Modi told PTI that the party had reserved 11 trains for the 'Hoonkar rally' and would install a large dynamic screen as a backdrop on stage to create a larger than life image of the Gujarat chief minister.
Unlike other places where replica of Red Fort and other monuments were created, the rally at Patna would instead have a 30-feet dynamic screen as background on the stage, Sushil Kumar Modi said. The LED screen would display slides showing famous historical places of the state like Nalanda university, Bodh Gaya temple, Gol Ghar among others and portraits of great personalities.
The BJP is sparing no efforts to make Modi's Patna rally a mega success
The personalities whose portraits would be relayed include hero of 1857 revolt Veer Kuer Singh, first President of Independent India Rajendra Prasad and Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan "JP", all hailing from the state, Sushil Modi said. He said for a comprehensive coverage of the rally, the party had decided to press into service around 12 of its own cameramen for capturing bit-by-bit picture of the crowd and other memorable events.
"This has been decided because TV channels can put one cameraman for the event who can zoom their camera only on one side. So we have decided to capture pictures of the rally through lens of 12 video cameras," Sushil Modi said.
"The video cassettes would be made available to the TV channels for their convenience," he said. Leader of opposition in Bihar Assembly Nand Kishore Yadav said that for the first time linear sound system would be used in the state so that everybody could hear the speech clearly.

MELBOURNE –At a time when the horrific events in Norway remind us how much murderous bigotry there still is in the world, perhaps a story from the other side of it can restore a little optimism that some positive, historically significant, changes in attitude really are occurring.
Last month in Australia, a major-league football player was fined, suspended, and – as a result of intensive negative coverage in the press – experienced profound public humiliation. What was unusual about the case, and the scale of the response, was his offense. It was not a thuggish tackle, abuse of the umpire, or match-fixing in collusion with gamblers. It was just a taunting remark heard only by his opponent. But his opponent was Nigerian-born, and the remark was a racist insult.
Just a few days earlier, in an incident that also drew significant media attention and condemnation, a spectator hurling racial abuse at a Sudanese-born player was escorted from the ground and banned from attending future matches unless he undertook racism-awareness education.
Not many years ago, in Australia – as in most of the rest of the world – these kinds of incidents would have passed utterly unremarked and without redress. They were not serious – just part of the game, uttered in the heat of the gladiatorial contest on the field and the passionate partisan cheering in the stands.
