There are a HUGE number of responses on that thread, and you can't help but want to help too. So I made a toon on the server and sent a message to Sai (and a pet - it is WoW after all, gotta give something game related, right?) and later in the day I logged in again, waited to see if other Equilibrium people would be online.
And she was online, and it was a mixture of dread and apprehension when I typed and deleted a suitable greeting so as to give my well wishes to Cillie. I hated to think I was jumping on a bandwagon, and why would a total stranger have anything to say about my feelings towards her diagnosis or her situation? But when I thought about it, I know I would have been friendly so why do I worry that people wouldn't be? It's silly of me!
I sent her a hesitant whisper to which she replied to with a warm hello! I didn't think I'd get to meet her, but I wanted to give my regards, and she was lovely and polite - it was getting close to her event that they were organising and I am sure that she was super busy talking to zillions of people, and it was nice of her to take the time to talk to me! I wished her well, asked her where I could make a donation (for those of you who want to donate, you can click here) and I headed off to do that and thought about whether I should join in the activities or not. I felt a bit shy about it (and it was a bad time of day - smack bang in the middle of family time)
However if you look at the outpouring of support for her by her guildies and husband, then you could see that she was well liked, well loved and well respected. They are a raiding guild who have similar progression to us. And when you read her story - it was hard not to identify with her. A young female guild leader, horde side, with a large guild who is raiding? Well minus the young part, but thinking about it drew some parallels - change a few things and that could be me in her situation! And like most people, you tend to feel the most moved when the situations are similar to your own.
I also realised that if anyone offered their condolences or respects or best wishes to me, I would be flattered and honoured by their efforts. So it was foolish of me to think she would be anything other than kind. There are those who in the same situation would just want people to leave them alone while they grieved but that didn't seem to be what Cillie was like. In fact she was grateful, friendly and encouraged me to take part in her games but large crowds of unknown people make me nervous. But if my guildies read this they would probably know that I would start talking to some random stranger I was standing next to and next thing you know they would be invited to flex or something LOL.
Anyway, it sounds like they had a great time! And they also raid a good amount of money :) And I even had a message from Sai thanking me for my mail to him. How could I NOT like someone who loves WoW as much as me? I have my fingers crossed for them, but as a doctor, and knowing her diagnosis and age... I can only hope for the best, yet expect the worst, and hope that they find joy in every little moment they have - because life really is too short for being miserable!

Bring down the ingredients (3 acorns, 2 cherries) and score 75,000 points.
1 star: 75000 points
2 stars: 100000 points
3 stars: 125000 points
35 moves to clear out the spinner blocks and get the ingredients down to the bottom is a tall task. Vertical striped candies will help you out the most here. The trick here is the transporters at the bottom bring anything not crushed in the column right back to the top, so do your best to destroy the spinners and not just move them down and don't worry about powerups going back to the top, it is advantageous.

Thanks to Matthew Dean
Candy Crush Level 82 Tips
- The specific level is MUCH harder in iPad/iPod/iPhone comparing to the PC/Facebook version so you need to connect your iPad/iPod/iPhone with your facebook account, beat the level on PC and then continue with the next level on iOS device.
Why is this so important? Because we noticed that while on the PC any horizontal match pushes all the columns down that definitely doesn't happen on iOS. This means that you rarely clear any of the liquorice. So you should definitely do it on the PC!
Patricia Frederick's Tips on Candy Crush Level 82
Pop the licorice whirls out of your way by making matches next to them. You can also move them (they are not blocks–they are moveable) just like any other candies. But if you simply move them, then they will go through the teleports and return to muck up the board a second time. (More licorice whirls may appear during play if you pop them out of your way, but not to the extent as they were initially when play started.) Special candies will only move 1 licorice whirl so don't waste them trying. Try clearing the licorice from a column or two and then use vertically striped candy matches to move the ingredients out.

Cultural historian and theorist Maureen Honey has an essential new book out from Rutgers University Press.
As the website for the book notes, "the Harlem Renaissance was a watershed moment for racial uplift, poetic innovation, sexual liberation, and female empowerment. Aphrodite's Daughters introduces us to three amazing women who were at the forefront of all these developments, poetic iconoclasts who pioneered new and candidly erotic forms of female self-expression.
Maureen Honey paints a vivid portrait of three African American women—Angelina Weld Grimké, Gwendolyn B. Bennett, and Mae V. Cowdery—who came from very different backgrounds but converged in late 1920s Harlem to leave a major mark on the literary landscape.
Honey examines the varied ways these poets articulated female sexual desire, ranging from Grimké's invocation of a Sapphic goddess figure to Cowdery's frank depiction of bisexual erotics to Bennett's risky exploration of the borders between sexual pleasure and pain. Yet Honey also considers how they were united in their commitment to the female body as a primary source of meaning, strength, and transcendence.
The product of extensive archival research, Aphrodite's Daughters draws from Grimké, Bennett, and Cowdery's published and unpublished poetry, along with rare periodicals and biographical materials, to immerse us in the lives of these remarkable women and the world in which they lived. It thus not only shows us how their artistic contributions and cultural interventions were vital to their own era, but also demonstrates how the poetic heart of their work keeps on beating."
Aphrodite's Daughters has already attracted a great deal of favor able critical attention, with Cherene Sherrard-Johnson, author of Dorothy West's Paradise: A Biography of Class and Color describing Aphrodite's Daughters as "an excellent book on a trio of under-read and often misunderstood poets. Maureen Honey's portrait of this unique cadre of modernists reveals the fascinating conflicts of politics and poetics that exemplify the Harlem Renaissance's artistic production."
Cheryl A. Wall, author of Women of the Harlem Renaissance adds that "Maureen Honey's archival research and critical acumen transform our understanding of Gwendolyn Bennett, Mae Cowdery, and Angelina Grimké, poets who explored their interior and erotic lives with deft lyricism and uncommon courage."
This is a stunning, groundbreaking piece of work – well worth your time and attention.

In cowboy movies, there often comes a moment when somebody says "I don't like it, it's too quiet." Then all hell breaks loose. If I was a member of the Obama campaign, I think I would be worrying that it's too quiet. Of course, describing the frenzy of the last week of the campaign as "quiet" might seem a bit odd. But things still look unnaturally good for the Obama campaign. Poll after poll puts him ahead, some of them by double-digit margins. It's been weeks since McCain led in any opinion survey. I don't like it. It's too good to be true.
I think my sense of foreboding on behalf of Obama feeds off two memories. First – the election four years ago. I went to bed in Britain around midnight with the BBC calling the election for Kerry. I woke up just before 6 am and turned on the radio. It was the middle of a discussion, but I could tell from the funereal tones of the BBC pundits that something had happened – Bush had won.

" Genre: Food & Drink / Dieting / Author: Kylie Kwong / Hardcover / 496 Pages / Book is published 2008-05-06 by Collins "
I first came across Kylie Kwong's "China China: Stories and Recipes from My Homeland" in my local Waterstones around a year ago.
This is a beautiful hardback recipe book. It's over 496 pages long. A big solid book that weighs easily 1 kg, and it about the size of an A4 piece of paper, but 5cm thick.
I was instantly drawn to this recipe book because of the beautiful colour pictures of China - of both food, countryside and people - and thought this book would be a great addition to my growing collection of cookbooks, but also as a "coffee table" book because of the colour photos of China and Chinese food - another way of remembering the wonderful times and food I experienced whilst travelling round China.
However my purchase of this book was to be delayed, as it was retailing in Waterstones at the time for £19.99. And although I wanted this book, £19.99 for a book that I wanted mainly for the pictures, was a bit too much.
So I added Kylie Kwong's "My China: Stories and Recipes from My Homeland" to my Amazon "wishlist" (such a handy function of Amazon - one day I'll write a review about it) and watched and waited till the price dropped.
Finally, after almost a year (didn't really need the book that desperately), the price fell to a reasonable £9.00 (much better than the initial £19.99 or the current £25.50) and I was able to purchase it from Amazon.
Having travelled round China quite extensively what you come to realise is that the food differs region to region and this is what makes Kylie Kwong's recipe book so different from other Chinese recipe books. Kylie focuses on the following regions in China all of which differ in location, culture and style:
Yangshao & the Li River,
Chengdu & the Le Shan Buddha,
Lhasa; Momos & Monasteries,
Xian and the Terracotta Army,
Beijing and the Great Wall, Shanghai,
Hangzhou & Wuzhen, and
Hong Kong & Lamma Island.
And each region has different recipes, ingredients and speciality dishes.
In addition to recipes from each of these regions, Kylie also writes about the history of the area and her experiences travelling in the region - complete with pictures and details about restaurants she visited.
But enough about the beauty of the book and on to the recipes!! The recipes are clearly laid out, listing the ingredients you'll need, how to cook and how many it serves. It also has picture - to entice you to create or to show you how yours should look! Kylie has thoughtfully added an ingredients section at the end which is really a definition of the ingredients - really helpful!
Here are some of my favourite ones so far:
From Yangshao & the Li River - Beer-braised Whole Fish. Not as good as the one I had in China, but that's probably more the fault of the Chef (me).
From Hangzhou & Wuzhen - Chinese Coleslaw. A change from mayonnaise based ones, and nice and refreshing in this hot weather.
From Xian and the Terracotta Army - Pumpkin Fritters. Yummy!!!
From Chengdu & the Le Shan Buddha - Kung Po Chicken. A favourite for everyone!
Don't be scared off of "Salad of Poached 'Urinating Shrimp'" (no that's not a typo) or the "Dry-fried 'Urinating Shrimp'", both from the Hong Kong & Lamma Island section. As Kylie explains "urinating shrimp" are "actually small crayfish dry-fried with garlic, chilli, ginger, salt, pepper and coriander." When the shrimp are wok fried their juice spurt out... hence the term!
There are many many more recipes that I can tempt you with... but that's a little unfair - isn't it?
It's published by Collins with the recommended retail price of £30.00, but as mentioned earlier is currently on Amazon for £25.50 including free postage. The ISBN is 0007271042.
As I've said many times, this is a beautiful book and my justification for buying this was for a keepsake of China, and to see if I could create some of these dishes I ate. This is probably not the best cookbook if you want to learn how to cook Chinese or to whip up a quick meal. Its current price is also a large deterrent to buying it!
I'm giving it 4 stars as I really like it, and it brings back great memories of "My China".

Mystery Poem
Last week, the Huffington Post published a story about a mystery poem. Eric Nuzum had been carrying around a poem for years, not knowing who wrote it or what it meant. From the article:
Like many kids, I was a misfit: a perfect storm of teen angst, loneliness, and depression. I was always stuck on the outside looking in. A tsunami of dork. Like a lot kids in my situation, I dealt with it by diluting myself with pot, cheap beer, and even cheaper pharmaceuticals--anything to shore up some distance between my skin and my soul--between myself and the world around me that I didn't understand or feel any connection to.
As my young life fell apart, Laura, my best friend at the time, stepped in to help me figure out how to put it back together. While my life bottomed out, with no clear idea if it would ever rise back up, she stuck with me, believed in me, and loved me. We spent our nights endlessly driving nowhere, exploring abandoned buildings while dreaming about living in them someday, exchanging mix tapes with secret coded messages in the songs we selected, and mostly, just talking about whatever happened to float in and out of our heads.
One morning she showed up unannounced at my house and asked if we could go for a walk. We ended up lazily dangling from swings in a park up the street, just talking, when she reached in her pocket and handed me the Mystery Poem. She refused to tell me what it was, who wrote it, or why she wanted to give it to me. "It's a gift from me to you," was all she would say. "Eventually you'll figure it out." She almost seemed gleeful as I struggled to understand. Then she left for college. Then she was hit by a car. Then she was dead.
Sorry to leave on such a mysterious note, but jump over to the article and find out for yourself!

Fire damages church's roof in Pittsburgh's Allentown section
As they watched Pittsburgh firefighters working Thursday afternoon to extinguish the flames eating away large chunks of the roof on the Hill Top Methodist Church on East Warrington Avenue in Allentown, longtime residents said the fire was damaging more than a house of worship.
"It's sorta the center of the community," said Pittsburgh City Council President Bruce Kraus, who represents District 3, which includes Allentown. "The senior program is there, several community groups meet there. It's sorta the heartbeat of Allentown. It's significant."
There were no injuries in the three-alarm fire that the pastor, Susan R. Hutchins, said appears to have been sparked by roofers working with a torch. It took firefighters about 90 minutes to bring the fire, which was reported at 4:16 p.m., under control.
"The church is a valuable resource to the community," Hutchins said, pointing out that the Allentown Senior Citizen Center, which is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located on the ground level of the building.
The Hill Top congregation and another from the Redeemer on the Mount Church also use the facility for Sunday worship and weekly ministerial events.
"The main part of me is grateful nobody was hurt, but part of me is devastated," said Hutchins, who has been pastor of the church for 17 years. "But God is bigger than a fire."
"The roofers were working at the back of the church, resealing a flat roof, using a torch, when it caught fire," said Hutchins. She does not know when the church was built, only that the parish has been located at the site since the late 1800s.
"I live next door and was working in my office on the third floor when I heard something, turned and saw the flames. By the time I got outside, much of the roof was fully engulfed," Hutchins said.
City arson investigators have not made a ruling on the cause of the fire and have not made an official damage estimate, city Public Safety Department spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.
While some firefighters poured thousands of gallons of water onto the roof, others went inside "to remove some things they thought may be of value to the congregation," Toler said.
"I mean, this is obviously sad, and this building is used for a lot in the community, but it's also just a building," said Alex Ielase, pastor of the 50-member Redeemer on the Mount congregation.
"No one was hurt. God closes one door. He can certainly open another one," Ielase said.
Hutchins was still trying to make arrangements Thursday night for a place to hold services on Sunday.
""We're an old congregation. We're a small congregation, but we are hardy and strong," Hutchins said. "We'll do whatever needs to be done."
Michael Hasch is a staff writer for Trib Total Media.

TAMPA — Despite totaling more than 300 yards on the ground Friday night, East Lake fell to Wharton 35-21.
Wharton found its own running game in the second half, with David Larry rushing for 90 yards on 11 attempts and scoring three touchdowns.
Despite only playing in the first half, Wharton quarterback Ryan Hatter went 3-for-5 for 109 yards and a touchdown. East Bay counterpart Arthur Jacobs had just 36 yards passing, making it difficult for the Indians to convert third and long.

barleyguy - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkI was a big Tempest player many years ago, which makes me curious about TxK. My vast experience with Tempest will either mean that I'll love that game, or it will be different enough that I'll be terrible at it. ;-)
I have no interest in either of the PS3 games this month. Hoard is a mix of two genres that I don't really play, and Playstation All Stars would require other players in my living room interested in playing it, because that game is best with local multiplayer.
I think the Vita has the best lineup this month, which I'm cool with because more people need to get Vitas. Reply
cmdrdredd - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkAgain PS4 gets what I would say are bad games. Many of them are new to the store which tells me that the game wouldn't sell on its own so Sony drops them a check if they allow it free on PSN to get it out there to people who would never have heard of it. I'm not totally against indie games but I think the lack of quality of the offerings from PSN+ lately (IMO anyway) is disappointing. Reply

I am unique. My friends like to say special. I'm not sure if they mean that as a compliment since they often snicker and point at a short bus when they say it.
Don't call me "dude".
Lewis Black learned sarcasm from me. He was my prize pupil and thus it was a proud day when the student surpassed the teacher.
Never poke a hurricane in the eye. They only have the one eye and it REALLY pisses them off.
I have been told that I look like a muppet in some of my pictures.
A friend of mine recently mentioned how glad he was to be into his mid/late-30s. He said it was nice to have the sex drive back off just enough to interesting things like learning how to cook. It just so happens that I started learning how to cook in that time frame as well. I am actually pretty good at this cooking thing, but don't worry, my sex drive is still healthy enough to enjoy some quality naked time.
I also brew beer. And I'm good at that too. So I can literally wine (as long as it's barley wine) and dine you all by myself. Some friends are even trying to talk me into starting a brewery with them. So I got that going for me.
I read fantasy novels and watch cartoons. There. I said it. Don't hate.
I take pictures. Artsy ones. I'm good at it. I swear I won't beg to take naked pictures of you, but if you're gonna twist my arm about it then I'll take one for the team.
So you probably noticed the Buddhism in that column over there. I'm not particularly devout (because booze and meat are yummy), but its basic message of balance with yourself and the world around you appeals to me. I don't hate Christianity. In fact, if Christianity is important to you finding balance in the world then I fully support and encourage you to keep on believing.
If it's not Scottish, it's crap!
. . . And while we're on that particular topic: You got any Scotch?

TV: I used to like the History Channel but then the rednecks took over and I began to worry about my fellow man.
Movies: Ooh! Ooh! I wanna watch another goddamn vampire movie!
Food: Yes please.

SHADOWS will dance along The Gill in Ulverston this Halloween as hundreds of candles, fire-bowls and up-cycled cans cut with stars are lit for the town's fifth candlelit walk.
Folk musicians will lead-off a procession into the woods at 6.30pm to see the eerie glow cast by nearly 500 scented candles and fiery-features.
Last year's event was hit by torrential, wick-wetting rain but volunteers say they have been working on weather-proofing.
"We stood around shaking drips off our noses last year wondering if this was too bonkers a thing to do in October," said lead volunteer Jennie Dennett. "But since then we've been thinking-up ways to make it happen whatever the weather so this event is a proper Halloween-night tradition for Ulverston.
"We've made more flares to go along the edge of the beck which light up the water and blaze-on even in the rain. They smell amazing too as they're made with scented wax donated by Wax Lyrical. Artists handy with angle-grinders have also cut fantastic designs into old oil drums which'll be lit with bonfires.
"So there'll still be a magical spectacle up here on The Gill even if the night's too wet to light all the little candles. It always gives me tingles seeing it lit up, there's something very special about firelight on a chill, dark night."
New this year are tin spike lights made from cans from the Ulverston Scrap Store, fire-bowls, metal hooks to hold lanterns aloft in the trees and a shadowscreen.
Local children at Ulverston's Woodcraft Folk group and shoppers who paused to pot at a workshop at Ulverston's Indoor Market Hall have also made a new collection of pottery candle holders to sit on the railings and cast flickering shadows of the shapes cut within, we've pumpkin faces, a glowing owl and swirling stars to mention just a few.
Along with the visual spectacle of all those flickering candles, musicians will also be adding to the spooky atmosphere. Barrow sound artists The Octopus Collective will be performing 'Bewilderbeats' in the woods and the South Lakes Ukelule Orchestra will be striking up too.
The walk starts at 6.30pm, on Thursday October 31, in The Gill at the start of The Cumbria Way. The candles will be lit until 8pm and there'll be hot mulled apple juice. The kissing gate will be removed to allow access for prams and wheelchairs. The event is free but there will be buckets for donations. More details about the event can be found at www.facebook/candlelitwalk.

The Moton Museum in Farmville, Virginia, recently commemorated the 65th anniversary of the 1951 Moton Student Strike. A few years after the strike, Moton High provided a majority of the plaintiffs in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation case. Jeff Feinstein, a U.S. history teacher at West Potomac High School in Alexandria, Va., shares what it was like to introduce his students to a key civil rights event. Continue reading

Santiago Iniguez, dean of IE Business School.
Strategic, steady, detached even, Vicente del Bosque, Manager of the Spanish football team, is the archetype cool, calm and cerebral football coach. His temperament is typical of Salamanca, the city where he was born.
He prepares the strategy for each match carefully, drawing in his notebook the arrangements for each position of the team players in the field. He or his assistants bring these notes to the pitch and they often refer to them during matches. If you look at the notes they are similar to the moves in a game of chess. He believes that playing well is a result of a carefully developed plan. For him, strategy takes priority over passion. He rarely shouts or expresses his emotions, keeping his cool instead. He is highly respectful towards the competition and often praises the strengths of rivals, both before the match and on winning. He very rarely accepts tributes and refers all congratulations to his team and the players. He is probably a prime example of elegant, effective and collaborative leadership. Unlike more outspoken showmen like Flavio Capello or José Mourinho, Del Bosque adopts a low profile and a somewhat austere attitude, which is proving to be a more intelligent and successful approach in the long run.
Del Bosque was a football player in his early years and believes that games are won in the middle of the field, as his positioning of the Spanish football team players on the pitch shows. He was also coach of Real Madrid Football Club between 1999 and 2003. During this time, he steered the club to its most successful achievements in modern history, taking it to two UEFA Champions League titles in 2000 and 2002, two domestic La Liga titles in 2001 and 2003, a Spanish Super cup in 2001, a UEFA Super Cup in2002, and the Intercontinental Cup in 2002, as well as ensuring they finished among the last four of the UEFA Champions League every year he was in charge. Consequently, his replacement, just after the Real Madrid won its 23rd Spanish League Cup, sparked rumors about his differences with Florentino Perez, the then President of the Club.
Del Bosque's attitude and leadership style evidences how important it is to show sportsmanship and courtesy on the coach's bench. Football is not all about passion, rivalry and emotions. It is, or rather it should be, primarily a sport and an opportunity to bring out the best in people. In short, we need more examples like Vicente del Bosque.

Verizon's Equipment Guide for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus reflects delay in launch
It's hard to believe that this could happen and we are sure that emotions have gone from skyhigh to rock bottom in just a few short hours. On the other hand, we have no idea yet how long this delay might take and it is always better to buy a phone that is working perfectly instead of having to put up with whatever bugs are ailing the device.

18. beatsandmelody (Posts: 109; Member since: 01 Nov 2011)
My emotions are just fine. I didn't expect it to come out this week, not one bit. How could they launch a phone without even giving a release date 3 days before launch?
This is a circus. A snafu. It's all catawampus.
19. davin8r (Posts: 45; Member since: 28 Apr 2011)
I just called the local Verizon store (Tacoma), and the rep says the Nexus is already there and the release date is still Friday.
20. Bethistopheles (Posts: 25; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
That's it. We're being trolled. There's no such thing as a Galaxy Nexus; it's all a ruse!
I figured this would happen. Who the hell releases a phone and doesn't announce it even a couple days before it goes out? Until Verizon officially gives the PUBLIC an official release date, no one should get their hopes up.
When was the first leaked release date? Wasn't it at the end of freakin' OCTOBER?
My feelings of betrayal will only be assuaged by Verizon selling this phone for under $200. Bastards.
I've heard 2 reasons for the delay: 1) there's a problem with the part of the band (I think that's the word?) this phone will be operating on because Verizon didn't follow some rule correctly, or 2) 4G isn't working properly and they want to wait to release the phone until 4G is back up.
I doubt it's legitimately reason #2. I'm skeptical enough to wonder if they wouldn't just down 4G for a few days as a convenient excuse.....
I can't wait much longer to chuck this EnV2 out my car while traveling at high speeds!!
(ok, so I'll actually just recycle it, but chucking it would be very satisfying...)
21. pdub73 (Posts: 33; Member since: 25 Nov 2008)
The stores have the Nexus in stock...I've seen one with my own eyes, I went this morning to buy mine, the rep pulled it out of the cupboard sat the white box next to his keyboard, started typing, made a phone call, and told me that he can't sell it to me yet...and that he will send me a text as soon as he hears the release date...

"Almost Home" Arlie Lamar Eddins
Arlie L. Eddins is buried in the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium at Plot H, Row 7, Grave 22. He enlisted in the Army Air Forces from Dallas, Texas on May 27th, 1941 at the age of 25. He was six feet tall and weighed 147 pounds. He served with the 1925th Ordnance Ammunition Company, Aviation and attained the rank of Corporal. He died in the service of his country on New Year's Day, Monday, January 1st, 1945. His death is listed a DNB (died non-battle, line of duty such as sickness or accident).
His date of birth is unconfirmed as June 2nd, 1917 and his military records show only year of birth as 1916. Arlie was born in Shelby County to Rommie Alexander Eddins (1894 - 1926) and Ammie Inez Windham Eddins (1898 – 1997). His parents were married on January 24th, 1915 in Shelby County. His father died in 1926 at the age of 31 and the 1940 census shows Arlie lived on East Hamilton Road with his mother Ammie as head of the house and his sister Bernice is also listed.
After graduation from an unknown school in Shelby County Arlie and his sister Bernice attended college. The list of 1939 – 1940 Teachers Registration in Shelby County shows both Arlie and Bernice as teachers at Shelbyville. Arlie's annual teaching salary was $700.00. The 1940 census also lists both as teachers and Arlie's partial military record from the national archives reflects 2 years of college.
His mother remarried Mr. Perry Anderson (1879 – 1968) in 1941 and moved to San Bernardino, California where she passed on March 8th, 1997 at the age of 99. Ammie and Romie are both buried in the West Hamilton Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas. Arlie's sister Bernice Nilsen is believed to now live in Phelan, California. I sent her a letter a month ago but have heard nothing back so the circumstances of his death remain a mystery.

Snowdrop Lace Hat by Robin Lynn
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 49 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
Snowdrop Lace Hat
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
I've adapted the lace pattern in the snowdrop lace scarf to a matching hat. It has a garter edge, three staggered lace repeats and a stockinette finish.
The pattern is written for a woman's small/medium with a 96 stitch cast on.
This hat was knit in a heavy sport-weight wool for my daughter-in-law at my gauge and then blocked. It fits her very well. But many knitters have had difficulty with the hat being too small. Additional knit rows can be added at round 35 to make a larger hat.

The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s
Part One: #200-151
[ #200-151 ]
[ #150-101 ]
[ #100-061 ]
[ #060-021 ]
[ #020-001 ]
180. The Barbarians: "Moulty"
(Eliot Greenberg/Doug Morris/Barbara Baer/Robert Schwartz)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on Nuggets
This song is best known for being the inspirational tale of the band's hook-handed drummer, but I'll put up the chorus of "Moulty" against any other from the decade-- "Louie Louie", "Mony Mony", anything-- as being the biggest, loudest, and most unintelligible, made all the more dynamically triumphant by the aw-shucks verses. --Rob Mitchum
179. Bembeya Jazz National: "Armée Guinéenne"
(Bembeya Jazz National)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on The Syliphone Years
Updating an old folk song honoring warriors and dedicating it to Guinea's then-fledgling armed forces, Bembeya Jazz created a hypnotic masterpiece. Balafon and percussion underpin Cuban-influenced horns and vocals, but Sekou Diabate's lead guitar steals the show as the fluid lifeblood of the song. --Joe Tangari
178. Otis Redding: "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)"
(Jerry Butler/Otis Redding)
Chart info: U.S. (#29), UK (N/A)
Available on Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul
Few performer/musician combos have enjoyed better, tighter dynamics than the ones forged between Redding and the Stax house band. The players follow his lead at every note, offsetting his soul-wrenching performance with austere horn ascensions and demonstrative punches. Redding makes the climax massive, but the band downplays it sweetly, internalizing his proclamation and making it an intimate exchange as much between the singer and band as between a man and a woman. --Stephen M. Deusner
177. The Tammys: "Egyptian Shumba"
(Lou Christie/Twyla Herbert)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on Egyptian Shumba: The Singles and Rare Recordings 1962-1964
It's not just that this girl group's gone wilder than any garage band on the list-- it's that they're possessed. The Tammys bop hard and bratty, but by the chorus they're literally growling, barking, and squealing like sexed-up hyenas; in the bridge you can hear them shudder and jerk their way into a frenzy. It's their party and they'll scream if they want to. --Nitsuh Abebe
176. MC5: "Kick Out the Jams"
(Michael Davis/Wayne Kramer/Fred "Sonic" Smith/Dennis Thompson/Rob Tyner)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on Kick Out the Jams
This one's a classic before it even starts, thanks to Rob Tyner's still-startling introduction (take the title, add "muthafuckahhhs!"). Though punk more in intent ("Let me be who I am!") than action (essentially, post-Who/Jimi Hendrix blooze-rock, but sloppier), this remains an eternal rallying cry for anarchy in the USA. --Stuart Berman
175. Loretta Lynn: "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)"
(Loretta Lynn/Peggy Sue Wells)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on The Definitive Collection
Loretta Lynn hates drunk sex (or something). Loves the Iraq War, though. She said as much at a pre-Jack White Taste of Chicago. But "Liquor and love, they just don't mix," teases Lynn on 1967's "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'", with honky-tonk pedal steel and juke-joint piano. See, lady is crazy! --Marc Hogan
174. Darlene Love: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
(Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich/Phil Spector)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector
Love's woe-steeped holiday ballad is the best Xmas present Phil Spector ever gave. The track features all of the producer's trademarks and his dense arrangement provides the perfect backdrop for Love's rich voice, making it easy to understand why this has become an integral part of the Christmas music canon. --Cory D. Byrom
173. Phil Ochs: "I Ain't Marching Anymore"
(Phil Ochs)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (N/A)
Available on *I Ain't Marching Anymore
Of all the protest songs Ochs penned, "I Ain't Marching Anymore" is the strongest. Ochs' narrow tenor and staccato guitar propel this anthem about a soldier who up and stops killing. It's an urgent rebuke against the war in Vietnam, but Ochs also takes the high road: He doesn't rip into the old men who start the wars that get young men killed-- he just puts down his gun and walks away. --Chris Dahlen
172. Archie Bell & the Drells: "Here I Go Again"
(Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff)
Chart info: U.S. (N/A), UK (#11)
Available on There's Gonna Be a Showdown
Whether it be "Tighten Up", "I Can't Stop Dancing", "Dancing to Your Music", "Dance Your Troubles Away", or "Dancin' Man", these dudes sure liked to dance. But with this Gamble & Huff swift-string strut, Bell and co. took on a different kind of hustle. "I should have learned my lesson, you hurt me before/ But every time I see ya, I keep running back for more," blows Bell, breaking down romance's inexplicable two-step with a purposeful stride. --Ryan Dombal
171. Neil Diamond: "Sweet Caroline"
(Neil Diamond)
Chart info: U.S. (#4), UK (#8)
Available on *His 12 Greatest Hits
When I was little, my best friend's mom-- who'd seen Neil Diamond in concert a dozen times-- told me he had "a nice tush." It was a strange moment-- almost traumatic. I was just a kid for chrissakes, and this was an authority figure. But Neil had that kind of power over women and this single is one reason why. It also explains why 12 Songs was a bad idea. --Mark Richardson

Canberra centre Jarrod Croker will "celebrate" his 100th match in the NRL by lining up against a devastatingly in-form Sonny Bill Williams for the first time on Sunday.
The goalkicking centre has had an impressive run of late, finishing his blistering 2012 season as the competition's highest scorer with 16 tries and 81 goals for a total of 226 points.
However, likely standing in Croker's way of capping off this weekend's milestone with a win is the impressive Williams - fresh from his successful four-year venture in rugby union.
"He's going to be hard to handle. He's tough to stop isn't he," Croker said.
"I've never played against (Williams) before so it's obviously nice to come up against him.
"He's in some good form and he's strung some good games together and starting to get a few combinations now."
Croker said the Raiders were going to have their hands full at Canberra Stadium, with Williams surrounded by a plethora of gun players including Shaun Kenny-Dowall, James Maloney, Mitchell Pearce and Michael Jennings.
"(Williams) does take a bit of heat off the halves as well. He's got that ball-playing ability," Croker said.
"But it's not a one man show."
The 22-year-old will be the fastest Raider to reach 100 games since making his NRL debut in round two 2009 and the second-youngest ever to achieve the milestone - only behind distant relative Jason Croker.
"It's nice to have those little accolades along the line," Croker said.
"I've been luckily enough, touch wood, with injuries.
"Hopefully I can keep that going and a couple more 100 (games) to come I suppose, that would be nice."
Roosters captain Anthony Minichiello is hoping for a turn of fortunes at Canberra Stadium after his send off against the Raiders last year.
Minichiello was given his marching orders for a brutal high shot on former Canberra fullback Josh Dugan five minutes from the end of his side's 24-20 defeat in round 24 last year.
The former NSW fullback also sustained a career-threatening ankle injury in the nation's capital when scoring a try two weeks into the 2009 season.
"Last year wasn't a great memory for me down there and I think it's fair to say I've had mixed success at Canberra in the past," Minichiello told AAP.
"It's a tough place to go, particularly when you have a night game there. It's cold, quite hostile and you need to be on your game.
"They have some big forwards and like to get into the grind.
"It's up to us to show we can cope with that. If we can, then we can win the game."

HE'S used to dealing with some of the demands of the biggest names in rock and pop at London's legendary Hammersmith Apollo.
So Jamie Baskeyfield is the perfect choice to bridge the gap between artists and officialdom over a musical problem in Wallingford.
Wallingford Town Council is considering designated busking areas after complaints about a mystery entertainer. It said a piano-playing tunesmith partially blocked a Market Place crossing at St Mary's Street for six hours one day last month.
While supporting free street performances, the council has asked town clerk Mr Baskeyfield to see if designated areas can be enforced.
He took up the role in July after 22 years managing venues like the Apollo, where he worked with stars such as David Bowie and Kylie Minogue, and the capital's Apollo Victoria Theatre.
He said: "I would like to know how they manage it so it is not a free-for-all.
"They all seem to be in designated spots. We are very mindful of the needs of people in the area."
He said: "In a reasonably controlled fashion it doesn't create a nuisance.
"I think in due course it would be an idea to have some kind of control of busking in the town. I'm used to taking things in my stride. I do not tend to get starstruck."
Mr Baskeyfield will speak to Oxford City Council, whose city, he said, enjoyed "a very high quality of buskers".
Busking is not illegal if it does not block public highways, footpaths, pavements or open pedestrian areas.
Town councillor Lynda Atkins said: "It is a question of whether it is worth investigating busking spots like they do in other towns and cities."
August and September's beer and music festival BunkFest showed live music has a place in town streets, she said.
She said: "We don't get more than three or four a week so it is actually something we would welcome more of."
Fellow town councillor Pat Granados said: "Nobody wanted to ban them altogether.
"They make it an exciting lively market place but it was difficult for wheelchair users to get by.
"That particular busker at that time chose the wrong place, but any other spot and nobody would have mentioned it."
Guitar-playing charity busker David Hemming, 51, of St John's Road, said designated spots were a "great idea".
He said: "People feel it adds to the vibrancy of a town and gives something extra.
"But I don't think there would be any problem with there being a few places designated in Wallingford to go.
"Buskers don't want to get in the way anyway."

AFTER our 3-3 draw at Sheffield Spartans on Saturday, Solway's win on Sunday means that they have won the league now. But nothing has changed for us.
We did say at the start of the season that we wanted to win the league but Solway are a very good side and they deserve it this season.
We said that we wouldn't give up on first place until it was mathematically impossible, but they had quite a commanding lead and it would have taken quite a bit for them not to win it.
That's over now and we want to finish in second position. We've made progress every year here and finishing second would continue that progress.
We finished third and won the play-offs last year, so this time we want to finish second, win the play-offs and win the cup.
We have four league games left and we haven't confirmed our place in the play-offs yet, so we want to do that.
The Sheffield game was a tough one because the week before they had gone to Scotland and got a point at Solway, before beating Manchester Minotaurs on the Sunday.
They were on a high, then, and we knew the game was going to be difficult. We were short of a couple of bodies but we're not making excuses.
Spartans went 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 up but we equalised each time.
We probably had the better of possession and chances, we just couldn't convert our opportunities.
We didn't play badly, and there's certainly no shame in going there and getting a draw.
Reece Cairney-Witter picked up a suspension at the weekend so we'll be without him when we play at home to Telford Titans on Saturday night.
Telford have struggled this season but they got their first point of the season recently against Whitley Warriors, who we travel to face on Sunday.
We won't be taking either side lightly.

The environmental group Greenpeace says data center builders must become part of the solution to the climate change challenge, rather than part of the problem. In a report today on the carbon impact of cloud computing, Greenpeace called on data center operators to power their data centers using renewable energy, urging major cloud computing providers to use their business clout to pressure utilities and Congress to make renewable energy more readily available.
In Cloud Computing and its Contribution to Climate Change, Greenpeace projects that data centers could consume up to 1 million megawatt hours of power by 2020, with the telecom sector using another 950,000 megawatt hours. Consistent with its focus on advancing its perspective via news coverage, Greenpeace tied its report to the release of this week's release of the Apple iPad.
The report, part of Greenpeace's Cool It Campaign, builds on the group's criticism of Facebook for building its new Oregon data center in an area where utility power comes primarily from coal.
Will the Cloud Run on Coal or Renewables?
"Efficiency is a hot topic in IT, but improving energy efficiency is only part of the solution," Greenpeace writes. "the industry also needs to take responsibility for where it gets its energy from in the first place. Simply put: Will the cloud run on coal or renewable energy?
"We are calling on IT industry giants to put their might behind government policies that give priority grid access for renewable sources like wind and solar energy," Greenpeace said. "IT companies should also support economy-wide climate and energy policies around the world that peak climate emissions by 2015. … The great innovators of the digital age can and should be leaders in promoting an energy revolution."
Greenpeace's Hosting Not Entirely Green
As we've previously noted, Greenpeace is calling data center operators to a standard the environmental group itself doesn't fully meet. Although Greenpeace has taken steps to account for the carbon impact of much of its IT infrastructure, some of its servers are housed in data centers powered primarily by coal and nuclear power.
A key question is whether the concerns raised by Greenpeace will become a factor in site selection for major data center projects. Renewable power is becoming a larger factor in site selection, but remains less important than local incentives, energy pricing and a climate that support energy efficiency measures like fresh air cooling.
"Unless cloud data centres are strategically placed to utilise or be co-developed with renewable sources of electricity, the data centre operators are stuck with the same problem everybody has, and having to accept the mix of clean and dirty energy sources that the electric utilities rely upon to feed the grid," writes Greenpeace.
'Use Power and Influence'
Seeming to realize the challenges in on-site renewable generation, Greenpeace instead calls on cloud computing providers to mobilize politically. "Ultimately, if cloud providers want to provide a truly green and renewable cloud, they must use their power and influence to not only drive investments near renewable energy sources, but also become involved in setting the policies that will drive rapid deployment of renewable electricity generation economy-wide, and place greater R&D into storage devices that will deliver electricity from renewable sources 24/7."
The report adapts earlier findings of the Smart 2020 report for its projections about data center and telecom energy usage going forward. The comibined power usage of the two sectors will be more than triple their current consumption by 2020, and "more than the current electricity consumption of France, Germany, Canada and Brazil combined." The Smart 2020 report uses data from McKinsey, which prepared a 2008 report for the Uptime Institute that projected that data centers would produce more carbon than the airline industry by 2020 "if current trends go unchecked."
The Smart 2020 also notes that for all the criticism of IT energy usage, the sector is a huge enabler of improved sustainability. "While the sector plans to significantly step up the energy efficiency of its products and services, ICT's largest influence will be by enabling energy efficiencies in other sectors, an opportunity that could deliver carbon savings five times larger than the total missions from the entire ICT sector in 2020," the report notes.

Body Language and Sociolinguistics Essay by MrSinator
Body Language and Sociolinguistics
A look into sociolinguistics and how to read nonverbal messages.

This paper looks at human communications and explains why they are more complicated than surface value. Semantics, meanings, and nonverbal cues are often very hard for people to pick up on. The kind of gestures and faces that people make while speaking can have drastic influence on how the message is interpreted by others. The writer looks at the physical, verbal, and linguistic issues.
From the Paper:"Communication in one way or another has been around longer than any of us can imagine. Although the first interactions among and between animals were probably grunts and growls, without specific interpretations for the sounds, body language probably helped the receiving animals decipher the sounds into an understandable message. For instance, if primate A saw primate B who appeared to be searching for a meal, primate A may grunt to get B's attention, then point or make a gesture towards a source of food. It is believed by many researchers that sign language came before spoken language as we know it today. Today's primates, such as chimpanzees, tend to have a strong focus on the arms of other animals, as if recognizing the arms as the primary component of communication, which is one reason that many researchers believe that sign language came first (Zimmer). However, primitive communications were not limited to hand gestures and grunts but included markers, body language, and facial expressions. Today, these non-verbal skills are just as important as they were before the development of spoken language."

The sun is shining and so are Blac Chynaand Dream Kardashian!
As the weekend came to a close, the mother-daughter hit the pool at Amber Rose's abode for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The E! reality star took to Instagram with multiple must-see photos from their day, and let's be honest, little Dream has never looked more adorable!
Chyna and 4-month-old Dream (who looks like dad Rob Kardashian's total mini-me) sported matching striped blue and white swimsuits, Dream accessorizing with a white floppy hat and her proud mama rocking oversized sunglasses.
"Dreammmmmmmmmm," Chyna captioned the precious snapshot.
Chyna and her BFF also posed for one sexy photo shoot by the Jacuzzi, both showcasing their curves in stylish beachwear. "Sunday funday at Muva house," Chyna wrote alongside the sizzling photo.
As of recently, it's been nothing but time well spent with family for Chyna. On Saturday, she stepped out with son King Cairo to attend the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles. The adorable duo rocked matching outfits on the orange carpet, a stylish combination of light wash jeans and white button downs for the slime-filled bash.
It's unclear if Rob made it to Amber's pool party, but as a source recently told E! News about his relationship with Chyna, things are certainly looking up. An insider revealed Rob and Chyna are "working on staying together and focusing on Dream Kardashian," and that the drama has simmered.
The new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians premieres Sunday at 9 p.m., only on E!
Rob & Chyna returns for season 2 in 2017, only on E!

A COUNCIL has denied claims it has broken a promise to invest in affordable housing following the sale of council homes to Red Kite.
Linda Derrick, a member of the Wycombe Labour group, accused Wycombe District Council of using the £18.5m from the sale of its council housing to Red Kite on projects such as the Handy Cross Hub.
She said WDC had pledged to make affordable housing a key priority following the sale in December 2011 and had gone back on its promise after seemingly not reinvesting any of the receipts into affordable homes.
Cllr John Gibbs, WDC's Cabinet member for Community, denied the claim and said the council had always stated the cash would be used to benefit the wider community, such as major projects.
Cllr Ian Bates, Leader of the Wycombe Labour Group, said: "We suspected WDC would break its promise to council tenants once the sale had gone through and thought little of the £18.5 million would get spent on affordable housing.
"But we are dismayed that not one penny, as far as we can understand, has been spent on affordable housing – and there are no plans to spend the £18.5 million on affordable housing in the foreseeable future.
"What can you say about a Tory council that made promises to council tenants to spend the money on affordable housing to persuade them to vote for the sale – and then deliberately breaks its promise and spends the money on something else?
"Would you believe anything this Tory council promises in future? There are thousands of families in Wycombe who need affordable housing.
"That £18.5m could have helped. Now it is gone. It's a disgrace."
Cllr Gibbs, hit back saying the housing transfer document clearly stated receipts from the sale were intended to benefit the wider community.
Cllr Gibbs pointed out WDC had delivered 128 affordable homes since the Red Kite sale and 56 had been found in the current financial year with the council working to secure more with landlords.
WDC holds £1.8m in Section 106 funds which had been earmarked for affordable housing. The pot has been boosted by £800,000 following the sale of four properties in Benjamin Road, he added.
He said: "We have not broken any of our promises. We remain strongly committed to providing affordable homes.
"The council's position was clearly stated in the Cabinet report ahead of transfer that the balance of the receipt was intended for the benefit of the wider community.
"This was highlighted in the housing transfer offer document which went to every tenant.
"The council has kept its promise and fully allocated the net receipt to a range of schemes contained in our approved Major Projects Programme."

Walter Shandy
Walter Shandy is Tristram's unconventional father. His habit of philosophizing and arguing about every subject usually finds him at odds with everyone else in the room. However, he seems to enjoy such conflict and even looks to create it. When he is arguing with his wife in what he calls his "beds of justice," he cannot accept that his wife agrees with his every word so continues to make his point even though continues to say that he is completely right. In fact, there seems to be little affection between Walter and his wife. For example, at one point when his parents go for a walk, Tristram describes his mother's arm as twisted into his father's arm. However, Walter's philosophizing on every subject often isolates him from the other characters. The first example is when he hears of his son Bobby's death. Upon the news, he decides, almost with relief, that he can now spend his money on fixing up the Shandy Estate. It is not that Walter does not have good intentions, it's just that he gets caught in his own ideas. For example, he writes a book on how to educate his son, Tristram but then spends so much time on the book that he ironically neglects his son's education. Moreover, he seems so pleased that he has written a book that he spends a great deal of time reading his theories aloud to his friends.
Away from his opinions, Walter's main goal in life is to serve the name of his family. He is distraught when Tristram is born with a flat nose and talks about how his family's problems stem from having small noses. His book is designed to help Tristram continue, and even heighten, the name of the Shandy family. In accordance, the one person Walter has complete affection for is his brother Toby. When Toby injures his groin in battle, Walter, without hesitation, takes him in, nursing his brother back to health. Often Walter softens to his kind-hearted brother, and Tristram explains that his father would never have taken anyone else into the family home.
Uncle Toby
Toby's good and modest nature seems at odds with his love of war. However, Tristram presents this as nothing more than naive patriotism. Toby feels that war is a necessity, but this opinion certainly does not take away from his generous spirit. One example of his humanity is when he hears of Le Fever's illness. Toby does not know Le Fever, but when he meets him, he cannot believe that such an honorable person will die.so Toby does everything in his power to prevent Le Fever's death. In the end, he assumes care of Le fever's son.
Toby sustains an injury to his groin whilst fighting as a captain in the British army against the French. His brother, Walter, takes him in, and Toby's servant, Trim, nurses Toby back to health. Toby develops a new lease on life when he finds a hobby mapping out how and where he was injured. When Trim suggests they rebuild the battle scenes on his bowling green, Toby demands the doctors give him back his health. It is not long before Toby is out of bed and walking on crutches.
Tristram details the touching relationship between Trim and Toby, more that of friendship than master and servant, as they reenact all the battle scenes from the war. Toby's hobby finishes when the war ends, but he immediately he falls in love with Widow Wadham. Unfortunately, Toby knows nothing about women and acts upon the feeling by developing a plan to win over the widow that is akin to a war strategy.
Toby's other close relationship is with his brother Walter. They are complete opposites; Toby's practical outlook quite at odds with his brother's philosophic ramblings. However, despite the continual arguing between the two, they cannot live without each other. Tristram accentuates this by writing about Walter taking in his injured brother and by having Toby present whenever Walter has a problem.
Tristram Shandy
Tristram is only a main character in that he is the narrator. He appears very little in the story itself apart from the one volume he dedicates to his travels around France. In general, we only get to know him from what the other characters say, in particular his father. As narrator, he is witty and opinionated with a genuine love for all the characters, apart from his mother, who he often criticizes. It is through our knowledge of his family that the reader is able to paint a picture of Tristram as a person. For example, his own philosophical ramblings are similar to his father's and he pays homage to his brother, Bobby, by taking a trip his brother would have taken but for his early death.
Tristram's Mother
Tristram's mother is a source of frustration for his father and perhaps for this reason, Tristram does not look upon her favorably. At the beginning, she interrupts her husband's lovemaking with a question about the cuckoo clock and then exacerbates him further by insisting on having the mid-wife deliver her baby rather than her Husband's choice of Dr. Slop. Tristram suggests that his father and mother were not the perfect match as she constantly frustrates her husband by showing no interest in either arguing or providing stimulating conversation.
Yorick is the village parson. The villagers often misunderstand him because he is very straight talking and therefore does not conform to a man of the church. In reality, he is a kind-hearted man even to the point where he lends his best horses to his villagers while he makes do with a decrepit, old horse. When he helps the midwife get a license, the villagers no longer have to borrow his horses to ride the seven miles to get the doctor. However, everyone feels the parson has committed a selfish act, thinking he only wants to keep his horses for himself. As his Shakespearean name suggests, he is a witty, but tragic figure. At the end of his life, Yorick dies a lonely man.
The Parson's Wife
Tristram only mentions her in the first volume, but she is important in that she persuades Yorick to finance the mid-wife's license.
Bobby is Tristram's brother, whose death coincides with Tristram's birth. It is because of Bobby's death that Tristram's father places so much emphasis on educating his second son.
Aunt Dinah
Aunt Dinah is a source of embarrassment for the Shandy family as she married a lowly coachman. However, much to Toby's disgust, Walter loves to recount the tale to guests and actually inherits a large amount of money from her at the end of the second volume. Though he never meets her, Tristram thinks she one the only woman in the family with character.
The Midwife
The midwife is the person chosen by Tristram's mother to deliver him. Early in the book, Tristram describes her as a struggling widow with a large family, but through the kindness of the parson and his wife, she manages to get a midwife license.
Doctor Slop
Dr. Slop is Walter's choice to deliver Tristram. In the end, Walter calls him to the house to act as back up. At the home awaiting Tristram's birth, the doctor talks to Walter and Toby about religion and childbirth, showing a fondness for arguing. He sees himself as a figure of authority and is upset when he has to go upstairs to see the midwife, as he thinks she should come down to see him. His forceps are responsible for damaging Tristram's nose.
She is the female of the household and helps deliver Tristram. She is a nosy, but goodhearted woman. When Bobby dies, she rushes to the kitchen in tears. However, she also spreads gossip about Toby and Widow Wadham.
Bridgette is Widow Wadham's servant and ends up having a relationship with Trim.
He is the male servant of the Shandy household.
He is a close friend with Yorick and present at Yorick's death. Tristram asks him whether he should travel around Europe, sealing Eugenuis' role as an adviser.
The church lawyer. He refuses to give permission to change Tristram's name.
Lieutenant Le Fever
Le Fever is a soldier who takes ill in the local inn. Toby and Trim hear of his plight and try their best to return him to health. Unfortunately, he dies, but hands over responsibility of his son, Billy.
Billy Le Fever
Billy is the son of Lieutenant Le Fever. When his father dies, Toby puts Billy through school and then supports him when he becomes a soldier. While he is a soldier, he takes ill and returns to Shandy Hall. Toby recommends him for Tristram's tutor.
Corporal Trim
Corporal Trim is Toby's servant. Like Toby, he fought in the war, but had to go home after he damaged his knee. He now dedicates his life to Toby upon whom he dotes. Despite his lowly position as a servant, Trim comes across as an intelligent man who is not shy to give his opinion on any subject. He often has good-natured arguments with Toby, in particular claiming Trim's injury is more painful than Toby's. However in reality, he shares Toby's kindness and humanity. The one bane in Trim's life is the probable death of his brother, Tom. Talking about his brother often results in Trim crying. Towards the end of the book, Trim courts Bridgett.
He is a writer who is present at the meeting where Walter Shandy tries to change Tristram's name. Yorick accidentally drops a hot chestnut in Phutatorius' lap, which Phutatorius believes Yourick does so intentionally.
Dr Slop's Forceps
Dr. Slop damages Tristram's nose with his forceps.
Walter's Book
Walter writes a book detailing how he will educate Tristram, reading it aloud to anyone who will listen.
