Weekly menu plan (March 7-13, 2010)
While I never seem to be doing everything I wish to accomplish, there's usually a few things that are going smoothly at any given time. Right now, one of the "smooth" things has been meal planning.
For the past few months, I've actually been successfully planning a weekly menu every week! We're focusing on extra fresh fruits and veggies, as both Joshua and I want to be healthier -- and I must say, I do feel better with how we've been eating lately!
Here's the menu plan I just made out for this coming week:
Homemade Mocha Frappuccinos (for Joshua only; 2 cups per day)
Lots of fruit -- fresh bananas, apples, and pears; frozen blueberries
Toasted and buttered homemade wheat bread OR homemade granola with milk (I've been keeping 2 kinds of homemade granola on hand -- my mom's granola recipe and my favorite Cinnamon Crunch Granola)
Salad (with Romaine lettuce, spinach, carrots, celery, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and leftover chicken breast) -- I prepare a huge amount Sunday evening and then Joshua and I eat salad Monday-Friday for lunch
Fresh veggie sticks (carrots, celery, cucumbers, peppers) -- for the kids only
Cheddar cheese slices, mixed nuts, in-shell peanuts, milk -- for the kids only
Snacks: Roasted almonds, bananas, frozen peas (kids)
Sunday -- Oven-roasted chicken, baked potatoes, green beans
Monday -- Salmon Potato Casserole, peas, corn
Tuesday --Three-cheese stuffed peppers, garlic bread, green beans
Wednesday -- My Mom's Meatloaf, baked potatoes, green beans
Thursday -- Leftover meatloaf, leftover salmon potato casserole, green beans
Friday -- Easy homemade pizza (x2), cooked carrots, cooked peas, and cheesecake*
Saturday -- Leftover pizza; something from the freezer (burritos, perhaps?); veggies; fresh fruit
*Friday is our 8th anniversary; I'm angling for this chocolate caramel almond cheesecake that Joshua created for our 5th anniversary!
Sounds like lots of good eats!
Happy Anniversary! May the Lord bless all of your days!
Great menu! I'm impressed
Great menu! I'm impressed by how much planning you are able to accomplish with four young ones in the house! I struggle with just my lone 2 yr old, so bloggers like you inspire me to step it up a notch.
I really like your idea of eating salad daily for lunch, it's quick and healthy. One question though, do you add the chicken breast on Sunday too? I would worry about it being still good by Thursday & Friday, but I'm a little obsessive about eating meat quickly once it's at refrigeration temperature.
Hi Tammy, Happy Anniversary
Hi Tammy,
Happy Anniversary and I hope Joshua makes the cheesecake for you, yum!
Question, the veggie sticks and cheddar slices, why for just the kids? Allergies? to keep costs down?
Do you mix the vegetables
Do you mix the vegetables and lettuce together on sunday and add in the chicken each day as you want it?What type of dressings do you like best?I love ranch but we have been staying away from it.Rick loves to add pepper and red wine vinegar.I like it but get tired of that all the time.I do enjoy pepper all the time though.
Happy Anniversary.
I look foward to see it when
I look foward to see it when you have time to post it.Thank you.
Do your kids really eat frozen peas for snack? Impressive
Good for you for healthy
Good for you for healthy eating!
And Happy 8th Anniversary!
You know, it just occurred to me how many birthdays etc you have in the first months of the year! :)
3 birthdays in January right?
And yours in Feb.
Anniversary in March.
Yehoshua's in April...
Lots of happiness in those 4 months!
That cheesecake looks yummy; good choice!
Tammy, I love to see the beautiful cheesecakes that your Husband makes. Do you have a New York Cheesecake receipe? Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary Tammy! Do you have a receipe for New York style cheesecake? The cakes your Husband makes always look so yummy.
Thank you
Delectable is the first word that came to mind when I saw this cheesecake. I'm certainly going to try this recipe sometime!

This Desk-Shelf Hybrid Harmoniously Combines Form and Function
People in cramped apartments have had to choose between tables or shelves for ages. Without a desk, it's difficult to get real, substantial work done. Without shelves, crap simply piles up around your apartment. But with the Deskbox desk-shelf hybrid, you get both and it doesn't take up any extra space.

Fun in the cold, but this is ridiculous
That earlier thread I posted, er, uh, can I take it back? Here in the Denver area we're looking at our fourth major snowstorm in three weeks heading our way, my road and driveway are in a perpetual cycle of being buried and plowed (we've had five feet so far), last night the winds gusted and howled up to 80 mph and blew the snow into deep drifts, the roads are a mess, the mounds of snow pushed off to the side everywhere are making this place look like Antarctica, and worst of all, I can't ride my bike!
Dnvr Fox, how're you surviving?
So I take it you haven't played any golf in a week or so????
Time to get creative....put some pedals on a snowmobile and get after it!!!!
For me it is 1/4 mile to get off the ice to a plowed road.
GRUMPH!! My driveway, ~400 ft. long, is my own personal
glacier. If faces north-south but we live on the side of
Cheyenne Mtn. and the sun sets at ~2:30 so we have little
solar help. So much for the Colorado front range lie that
it never snows on snow!!

Latent Emissions, Chakaia Booker
Mennecy Manufactory, Sauceboat, ca. 1755
Mennecy Manufactory, French, Sauceboat, ca. 1755, soft-paste porcelain, 4.13 x 9 x 7.25 inches. Acquired with funds provided by the Virginia A. Marten Endowment for Decorative Arts, 2015.033
This saucier Duplessis is the only known example of this type from the Mennecy Manufactory. Jean-Claude Duplessis (1699–1774), a goldsmith and bronze founder who was commissioned to provide designs for the porcelain manufactories at Vincennes and later Sèvres, created this sauceboat form from the motif of two waves crashing. François Barbin (1691–1765), the founder of the Mennecy Manufactory, had been producing both faience and porcelain in the faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris but was sued by the Vincennes Manufactory for infringement of their monopoly in 1748. As a result, he moved out of Paris and by 1750 relocated his factory to the town of Mennecy, where this sauceboat was made. Duplessis's wave motif that Barbin copied here became a hallmark of rococo design.

Autumn Leaves All Around: Back to Vérmező2012-10-05 1 Share Tweet
I spent a lot of time here when I was a child. Now I returned to see my favorite places as an adult – through my Diana and my Beirette.
We lived nearby, and my mother was really devoted to get her children as much fresh air as possible. So we were brought here frequently – and it was one of the places we were allowed to go alone with my sister. To me, the Vérmező was an endless source of secrets and adventures. It took a very long time that it was called Vérmező ("Blood March" in literal translation) because the Hungarian Jacobines were executed here.
It was autumn when I came back here. Back then it meant that my grandmother is back in the city, so we won't be visiting her holiday house anymore in the countryside – after my summer holidays, I returned here, a bit reluctantly. Now I only felt nostalgia, visiting my favorite place with a bit of melancholy.
This strange well-like structure is actually a ventilation shaft to the underground. The terminal station is not far from here. As a child, it was still a mystery to me how the underground can be connected to a park. I stared into the well a lot, I imagined hearing the trains come and go – and whenever I felt the wind on my face at the station, I always thought that the air actually comes from here.
These were my favorite trees – standing opposite to each other on both sides of the small, paved path I learned riding the bicycle. One of them is a cherry tree, the other is a poplar. For some reason, they are surrounded by limestone plates – nowadays, the grass broke most of them, and they are half-sank in the soil. I loved climbing trees – it was especially pleasant to climb on the thick branches on the cherry tree. When I learned to ride the bike, I mostly came to the Vérmező with it; it was nice to have a rest on the warm stone plates.
This monument, with it's wide stone steps were also one of my favorite places. The monument is erected for Hungarian soldiers fighting for the liberation of Budapest in the second World War. What I could not understand as a child is the shape of the bronze plate the reliefs are placed upon. I was pretty much convinced that it forms something, and I waited for the moment to find out. Now I see nothing but an abstract shape.
From the two playgrounds I played upon, now only one exists – the other is used as a "fitness park", with open-air fitness machines. The other one, with the "dragonfly" statues (actually, they are surely not dragonflies) is still a playground but over the decades, it has been completely refurnished with new toys and benches. I really liked the statues as a child – back then, they were part of a fountain. The water doesn't run anymore.
This restaurant (made from an unused railway carriage) is a relatively new development. When I was a child, fountains ran on this place. Although it was forbidden to bathe in the fountains, we regularly did so – until my sister got a rash from the water.
The coffee is surprisingly good here. I sat here quite a while, thinking of my childhood among these trees. It is strange to think that not so many years later today's children will think with the same feeling nostalgia about this place.

Buffett-Munger Strategy: What Worked? What Didn't
Posted by: GuruFocus (IP Logged)
Date: October 19, 2012 12:27PM
It has been almost 4 years since we started our Buffett-Munger Screener and model portfolio. The portfolio has outperformed the S&P 500 every year and cumulatively it has gained 90% and has 30% of outperformance. The portfolio has low turnovers and we only rebalance once a year. Although almost all companies in the portfolio have had sizeable gains, we do have steep losses with one of them.
These are the details of the performances in Buffett-Munger model portfolio:
Among the current holdings in the portfolio, World Acceptance Corp (WRLD) has been in the portfolio ever since inception and the stock price has more than tripled. Bio-Reference Laboratories (BRLI) was added this year and it has gained 92%.
Among the current 25 stocks, only 4 stocks have seen losses. As a whole the portfolio has gained 90%, and it has outperformed the S&P 500 every year. The overall outperformance is about 30%.
This is just what we expected when we developed the Concept of Business Predictability. By investing the companies that have consistent and predictable revenue and earnings growth traded at fair prices, we will avoid the losers, and the winners will take care of themselves. Buffett-Munger strategy focuses on high quality predictable companies that are traded at reasonable prices, and
1. They can grow their revenues and profits consistently.
2. They can maintain and even grow their profit margins over time. They have the "moat" that prevents others to enter their market.
3. They incur little debt while growing business
4. They are at the low end of their historical valuations.
But not all companies in the portfolio did well. The worst performer is for-profit education company ITT Educational Services (ESI). We lost almost 60%. The second worst is Spanish telecom Telefonica (TEF). For ITT Educational Services, the business landscape has changed dramatically due to the regulatory changes. The company has dropped out the list of Predictable Companies. The stock will be dropped out in the next rebalance.
As a group, these companies have done well. They may not have the market momentum with them, and they may face headwinds which bring the valuations low. But if business continues to grow, we believe it is safer to invest in these companies. Indeed, these companies have outperformed the market every year since inception.
These companies also outperformed the market by wide margins over long period of time in our backtesting. For details, go to: What Worked In The Market From 1998-2008? Part II. Under-Valued Predictable Companies And Buffett-Munger Screener.

I'd like to clear up some misconceptions: rooting doesn't mean installing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod, and it doesn't necessarily mean wiping your internal storage. All it means is unlocking your device so that you gain some extra system privileges, giving you the ability to install a custom ROM like CyanogenMod (and do a number of other neat things).
The method for doing this varies from device to device, and could change over time. So, rather than writing a guide that will only be relevant to one type of device and may soon go out of date, I'll show you how to find the best way to root your specific phone or tablet — assuming there is a way. I'll also include a walkthrough of how I rooted my HTC Desire, with photos, so that you can see how quick and easy the process can be.
Before you start, make sure you actually want to do this; check our article, To Root or Not to Root, for the pros and cons.
Then, back up your phone. No, this might not be strictly necessary, as rooting doesn't always involve wiping your phone, but it's a good idea. Check out our guide, How to Back Up Your Android Device Without Rooting, for the details of how to do this.
Next, you might want to upgrade to the latest version of Android available to you as an OTA update. It's generally good to be up to date. To do this, go to Settings | About phone | System software updates and press Check now. If there are any new updates, you'll be given the option to install them. Make sure you've got at least 25MB of internal storage free before doing this, or it won't work; see Clear Storage Space on Your Phone Without Rooting for more.
You'll also want to make a note of all the information in Settings | About phone | Software information (Android version, Baseband version, etc.). I suggest emailing it to yourself (if you're using some webmail service like Gmail) so that you won't lose it. This is useful in case you want to un-root later, or need to get help from the Internet if something does go wrong.
Last thing to do before rooting: charge your phone. You don't want it to run out of battery at a critical moment.
Finding a Guide
My top recommendation for finding a guide on rooting your device is the Android How To's section on TheUnlockr.
That site seems to have video guides for every Android phone available — and a couple of tablets, too.
If TheUnlockr's guides aren't suitable for you, you should check out the XDA-Developers forum. This is where the top Android experts hang out — they really know what they're talking about when it comes to rooting!
Trouble is, it's not really the place for beginner questions, and it can be hard to find the most relevant thread for your phone. So, check out this excellent post on the Android sub-reddit; it contains links to the most relevant threads on the XDA-Developers forum.
If all else fails, just Google something like [root htc desire]. Be extra wary of any methods you find this way, though.
Whatever you do, don't follow any guide designed for a different device to the one you're using. It's easy to think, "Oh, I have an HTC Desire, and that's basically the same hardware as a Nexus One, so I'll just follow the Nexus One guide." Bad idea. You'll brick your phone. Some devices can't be rooted (at least not easily); if yours is one of them, then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it.
That's it! You're ready to go
My Experience
Here's how it went for me, rooting an HTC Desire with a Windows PC. Remember: don't follow this as a guide, even if you have an HTC Desire. Find a guide using one of the methods above. I'm using this guide to rooting via the Unrevoked method, from TheUnlockr.
I installed and then uninstalled the latest version of HTC Sync.
I downloaded the latest version of Unrevoked and the HBOOT drivers.
I unzipped the drivers, powered off my phone, plugged it in to my PC via USB, and held the power and volume buttons to make it enter HBOOT USB PLUG mode.
I installed the HBOOT drivers.
I unplugged and rebooted my phone and loaded Unrevoked. It gave me a dialog box:
I put my phone in USB Debugging mode, plugged it in to the computer again, and clicked OK. Unrevoked worked its magic (which took about five or ten minutes)…
…and that's it! The whole process took less than an hour, and I spent most of that time just waiting for things to install or uninstall.

A compiler needs the information that or is a fold over an associative operation in order to employ such a parallel implementation. Bj顤n Lisper

Quick and Quintessential Tips to Guide Your Job Search and Work Life
Job-hunting tips from the November 16, 2009, issue of QuintZine.
In recognition of Job Action Day 2009, we offer a Q TIP for each of our focus areas:
Having a winning personality has always helped in making friends or getting a date, but a recent survey confirms it also opens doors in the job search. When presented with accounting or finance candidates who possess similar qualifications, 31 percent of chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed said applicants' people skills would tip the balance over such attributes as software proficiency and advanced certifications. This number is up significantly from five years ago when interpersonal skills were cited by only 1 percent of respondents.
CFOs were asked, "If two candidates interviewing for an accounting or finance position had similar skills, which one of the following additional qualifications would you find most valuable?" Other qualifications in the survey included software/technology knowledge, industry-specific experience, certification or advanced degree, multilingual skills, and international experience.
The survey was developed by Accountemps, a specialized staffing service for temporary accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals, and conducted by an independent research firm. It was based on telephone interviews with more than 1,400 CFOs across the United States. Find full results here.
Executives were asked, "Approximately how much time, in minutes, do you spend screening each resume when reviewing job applicants for an advertised position?" The average response was 6.4 minutes.
The survey was developed by OfficeTeam, a staffing service specializing in placing highly skilled administrative professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and includes responses from 150 senior executives at the nation's 1,000 largest companies. Full results here.
They received those ratings because interviewers believed they shared their beliefs and attitudes, indicating a potentially good fit at the company.
Ingratiating yourself to employers through appropriate levels of flattery (nothing obvious or obnoxious, of course) may help you more than your own impressive credentials.

Confrontations between protesters and police in Mohamed Mahmoud Street continue on Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Ahmed Hamed/Aswat Masriya
Confrontations between security forces and protesters continued on Sunday morning for the seventh day in a row.
Protesters gathered near the American University's campus hurling stones at security forces who responded with teargas bombs.
"Down with the regime", the protesters were heard chanting on Sunday - a phrase that was popular during last year's uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak.
They also chanted against the Muslim Brotherhood's supreme guide, who is believed by many as the one who pulls the strings instead of Egypt's current president, reported the Middle East News Agency.
Field hospitals continue to receive wounded men and cases of suffocation as a result of the teargas being used by security forces.
Clashes erupted on Monday evening following a demonstration to commemorate last November's "Mohamed Mahmoud events" where over 40 people were killed.

It is extremely difficult for me to do critical thinking after a really ball-busting tough workout. I completely space out and can't focus.
This effect usually lasts for the remainder of that day and sometimes 1-2 days afterwards. (It affects my performance in school/work.)
If I don't workout for a week or so there's a dramatic difference in my mental capabilities.
It's been happening my entire life, despite good sleep, nutrition and overall health.
Anyone else experienced this?Are you aware of any research in this area?Any suggestions to alleviate these effects? (I don't want to stop lifting heavy.)
And you're SURE about that last part? When i hear this i immediately think poor nutrition/water intake, bad sleeping, holding breath for much too long, etc. You might have to go into detail about these things before anyone can give you a serious answer.
I doubt that you actually have a drop off in mental performance for 1-2 days man haha. What leads you to that conclusion?
When I clicked on this thread I thought you were going to say maybe an hour or something and I was going to agree somewhat
Nutrition is spot-on:-beef, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, exvoo, sweet potato, kale, spinach, broc, carrots, oatmeal, a little fruit, etc.-usually 3000-4000 cals/day split across 5 meals-never eat cheat meals or shitty carbs (I eat enough good fat to always feel satiated)
I drink water continuously all day and stop a few hours before I go to bed. About 1 gallon a day. I'm pissing every hour or so.
Sleep consistent 7-8 hrs/night
Holding breath, do you mean while I'm doing the lifts? I hold my breath during each rep so that my spine is stable for the lift, then breath between reps. I don't know much about breathing, so this could be the issue. What should I be doing?
I progressively feel better as I get farther from my last workout.
If I do a tough workout in the morning, I feel brain dead for the rest of the day. It's just super hard to concentrate.
Then for the next 1-2 days I don't feel brain dead but I still have more trouble focusing than I would otherwise.
Then if its been 3-4 days since a workout I'm a total monster and have awesome concentration.
I've been observing this pattern for quite a while so I'm pretty confident of it. Definitely with how zombified I feel on the day of a workout.
Blood flow situation maybe?
Damn man if that were the case then most of us would be permanently zombies since most of us train 3-6 days a week.
Seems plausible. My hands and feet are always cold. I'll have to look into this.
How heavy are you? Maybe check into sleep apnea dude
This past summer I was 195 at ~9% bfNow I'm 165 at ~7% bf due to significant drop-off in lifting volumeI experienced the same symptoms at both weights
I'd be surprised if it was sleep apnea. I generally feel well-rested, just not right after a workout
So you generally feel well rested but you feel that your mental capacity suffers from workouts? Can you give us an example of what you mean by 'reduced mental capacity'?
Maybe youre just stupid and lifting clears your mind enough for you to realize it.
My eyes aren't struggling to stay open. I don't have an urge to sleep.
Suppose I lift and then 2 hours later I sit down at my computer to do some homework. I might space out for 5 minutes at a time just staring at my screen. Total lack of focus. Whereas on another day when I hadn't lifted, I could go balls to the wall working on that same homework for 10 hours straight with awesome focus.
Maybe a better way to describe it is mental exhaustion.
QFT you beat me to it
I'm dumber than you could possibly imagine
Sometimes I'll do a workout where I lay down everything I have in the gym and I'll feel like that. But most workouts I actually feel more energetic. The day after most workouts, I just have some extra trouble getting out of bed but once I get going the feeling goes away. I never do hard workouts the night before a test.
How's your work capacity? I find that if I take too much time between sets for a couple months, then I have a harder time recovering.
I almost always feel really energetic during my workouts, but after I wind down from that is when I feel mentally tired.
Work capacity probably isn't great right now. I've been training strength, so I've been doing low reps per set and longer rest (3-5 min). But I still had these same symptoms when I did more volume with short rest.
Does caffeine help at all?
I don't consume caffeine, and I prefer to keep it that way
I didn't think this would be that uncommon. maybe not for such a long time, but I'm like a zombie after a brutal leg (or back workout) for a couple/few hours, and still not as sharp the rest of the day.

In-depth training gives beauty advisers the required expertise
Providing products to protect the skin and keep it healthy is a complicated business, which involves in-depth training and much more than a passing knowledge of the sciences of physiology and dermatology.
Proper treatment and specialist advice may be needed to ensure the skin remains as healthy as possible and, to accompany this, an increasing range of derma-cosmetic products is now on the market to give consumers the choice they need to take care of particular skin types.
"Such products must be safe and in compliance with international standards," says Karen Cheung, pharmacist for VICHY Laboratoires, L'Oréal Hong Kong. "There also has to be clinical data to support their efficacy because, nowadays, the general public is very aware of product contents and the need for high safety standards."
Before a new skincare product goes on sale in a store or boutique, a qualified pharmacist prepares training materials for frontline dermo-advisers. This includes essential information about the active ingredients, their features or effect, and the safety records derived from scientific research. It also covers information about the bio-mechanics of skin, the micro-relief of tissues, and the reconstruction of cells.
The pharmacist will also provide training in how to conduct various skin diagnoses requiring different professional equipment. This will include use of a UV camera to examine the inner structure of the skin and pigmentation disorders, as well as the seven-step skin diagnosis machine which checks the overall condition, hydration level and sensitivity.
Besides that, there are other sessions focusing on basic aspects of biology and physiology to explain how the skin "works" and how to keep it healthy. A comprehensive training manual distributed by the company's headquarters in Paris summarises all the key data. To remain fully up-to-date, the pharmacist must also read scientific journals and articles on advances in dermatology and attend regular training course held in Paris.
Working in the world's first VICHY concept store, good customer service skills are essential. The first step is to understand a customer's needs, and this often means knowing about their physiological or even psychological condition before being able to recommend the most suitable products. "The first question our advisers would ask customers is how many glasses of water they drink every day," says Ms Cheung. "Real beauty is a reflection of the body's well-being, and customers have to be reminded to actively preserve their own skin's health at its source."
Whenever derma-cosmetic products are on sale in a drug store, they can be found on shelves behind the pharmacy counter, or near the prescription counter. "We always insist that the store has a pharmacist fully trained in the brand, the products, skin diagnosis, and the cosmetics industry as a whole," Ms Cheung explains. "The beauty advisers in the drug store can then consult the pharmacist about product recommendations and also pick up a lot of other useful advice."
According to Kitty Yip, human resources director of L'Oréal Hong Kong, the company looks for people who have a passion for the beauty business, since the best advisers are those who obviously enjoy what they do. That is a matter of getting a real sense of achievement from helping a customer choose a product that suits their needs, not just reciting various product information as if by rote. It requires excellent communication, interpersonal and marketing skills plus an understanding of the latest styles or trends, which comes from having the necessary experience. The company offers a supportive working atmosphere, which is conducive to learning and where colleagues take the initiative and are happy to share ideas and the latest information with one another.
The outlook for promotions is good for frontline staff who perform well. They can expect to move up to a position as a senior dermo-adviser or counter manager, or perhaps take up a back-office role, such as management trainee. This can lead to other career opportunities in sales management or different areas of the business.
To attract talent, the group's strategic recruitment tools such as e-Strat Challenge and the Brandstorm marketing game help to promote the corporate image and to identify students with the potential and ability to succeed in the business. "We aim to develop people who match the corporate culture and have a long-term vision," Ms Yip says.

West Bromwich Albion defender Steven Reid insists Peter Odemwingie's attempt to negotiate a move to QPR by travelling down to Loftus Road without permission from the club has not affected Albion's players. "Not a great deal to be honest. We've got a strong group with a lot of leaders in the dressing room who have good, strong characters," he said, when asked if the incident had caused any impact.
"It's a matter that the club are dealing with now and I'm not sure what the outcome will be. It's up to them how they deal with that.
"There's enough characters and leaders in the dressing room to get through it.
"Maybe that group wasn't as strong when I first joined but it is now and maybe that's why we're in the position we are in in the league.
"It (Odemwingie's behaviour) is not the way I'd go about doing things and I'm sure it's not the way a lot of other lads would, but these things happen in football."
Speaking about Odemwingie's future at the club, Reid added: "Will we welcome him back? We'll have to see and it's up to the club how they deal with it.
"But if it does happen I'm sure we'll get on with it and there might come a point in the campaign when he's needed.
"It's up to the club and I'm not going to get involved in team selection. It's also up to the fans how they deal with it."

In a basketball era long before three-point goals and shot clocks, Dick McGuire starred at St. John's University, then spent more than a half century as a New York Knicks All-Star, then a coach, scout and consultant.
McGuire, 84, who died last week in Huntington, L.I., near his home in Dix Hills, led the Knicks to three consecutive championships from 1951-53 and St. John's to the National Invitational Tourney in 1944. Born in the Bronx, he moved to the Rockaways as a child.
His No. 15 jersey hangs in Madison Square Garden and he was inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.
McGuire's was a period when four rather than five personal fouls meant banishment from the court, when a team could pass the ball around almost endlessly in a stall later made impossible by the shot clock and when all baskets were worth two points.
McGuire's specialty was razzle-dazzle ball-handling and it sometimes seemed he had an aversion to shooting.
"His ability to penetrate the defense of the opposing team was the result of his remarkable peripheral vision and ability to take advantage of the split second opening, often with a bounce pass, to connect with a teammate cutting for the basket," said John Griffin of Queens Village, former sports editor of United Press International, the student manager of the Redmen basketball team and a classmate of McGuire's at St. John's.
"Dick was a master of misdirection as far as the opposing team was concerned," Griffin said.
Indeed, the citation of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame reads "Dick McGuire played basketball as if he had eyes in the back of his head."
McGuire's precision ball-handling was sometimes compared to that of Bob Cousy, another Queens product, who followed McGuire into the NBA and was not only a wizard at ball-handling but a high scorer.
McGuire was among the untold numbers of players, many of whom made it big in college and the NBA, who perfected their craft — once known as the New York Game — on the legendary asphalt courts with mostly netless goals at 108th Street in the Rockaways. McGuire's parents operated a bar nearby.
Among the highlights of his career were as a player on the National Invitational Tournament championship St. John's team in 1944, a Helms Foundation All-America team member at St. John's in 1944, a member of the Dartmouth team in the NCAA Final Four in 1944 and an NBA All-Star with the Knicks in 1951, 1952, 1954-56 and 1958-59.
Griffin said that throughout his career, McGuire seemed reluctant to shoot — a characteristic that sometimes irked late Coach Joe Lapchick of the Knicks.
As a result, McGuire averaged eight points a game.
McGuire's younger brother, Al, coached the 1977 Marquette University basketball team to the NCAA title, then appeared on television as a basketball commentator. The McGuires were the only brothers to make the Naismith basketball Hall of Fame.
"Whereas Al had the gift of gab and the humorous yarn, Dick was not a talkative fellow," Griffin said.
"At St. John's, Dick and I were in a speech class in which the students were required to give a speech," Griffin said. "I recall wondering how Dick would do considering his taciturn manner — we called him 'Mumbles' after a Dick Tracy comic strip villain."
"As I recall, it was not a long speech and the content was excellent," Griffin said. "Although it was uncertain whether it met the goal of getting Dick to enunciate."
"But above all, this was a nice man, a person of high principles on and off the basketball court," Griffin said.
McGuire is survived byspan class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; " his wife, Teri; brother John; sister Catherine Mann; daughter Leslie Dwyer; sons, Richard, Michael and Scott; and seven grandchildren.

Breckenridge Brewery Naughty List
2 hours ago
TABC says you can't tell them where you're going to be.
Yes, that's f*ing ridiculous.
I swear TABC just randomly makes shit up to annoy people. They don't see their job as to regulate the alcohol industry, but to destroy it. A friend refers to them as the Texas Association of Baptist Churches.
I swear, the next time I go to the grocery store on a Sunday morning and get all excited about some new beer arrival until my wife reminds me I can't buy until noon, my head is going to explode.

Do you like to work with big ones or little ones? Do you enjoy appliquing them to a background or make your whole project from them or both? Do you like to take-along stitch or curl up in front of TV or a warm fire in winter and stitch?

I will have a truly unified Alethkar, with highprinces who are loyal and just. I'll have more than that. I'm going to refound the Knights Radiant. "— Dalinar to Elhokar[2]
Dalinar Kholin (Alethi pronunciation: [ˈdal·ɪn·ar xoˈlɪn] DAL-in-ar kho-LIN) is an Alethi highprince of Alethkar. He is known as the Blackthorn for his military prowess and is the Highprince of War.

He has two sons Adolin Kholin and Renarin Kholin. He is a member of the Order of Bondsmiths and is the de facto leader of the reformed Knights Radiant.[3]

Appearance and Personality
Dalinar is an aging but powerfully built man in his fifties, with a warrior's face. He has black hair that is grey in the temples.[4] When he owns Shardplate, he chooses to wear it as an unpainted slate grey color, without any unnecessary decoration or adornment.[4] His former Shardblade is Oathbringer. He rides the Ryshadium horse Gallant.
He is a man defined by duty and is rightfully considered an honorable lighteyes by all, perhaps the only one in Alethkar. He has a sense of fairness that is sometimes taken for weakness by his fellow lighteyed Alethi, but Dalinar proves that he is not to be taken advantage of.
Dalinar considers himself wholly a soldier and general with no talent for back-room politicking.[5] After Gavilar's assassination, Dalinar blames himself[4][6] and since then has worked to protect Alethkar and Gavilar's son Elhokar[7] in hope of earning some kind of redemption.

Dalinar desires a woman named Navani, but he realizes that Gavilar is also interested in her. For his brother's sake, he steps aside and looks on as Gavilar courts and marries her. Later, Navani admits she had interest in Dalinar at this time, but since Gavilar was the one who chased her, she chose to accept his proposal. Dalinar marries another woman, whose name is currently unknown, and has two sons: Adolin and Renarin.
Gavilar, and their friend, Torol Sadeas, seek to unite the scattered princedoms and have a true kingdom once more. Each highprince ruled over their lands individually, and conflicts between the princedoms were common. This strife between the warring highprinces had lasted for centuries. Dalinar and Sadeas follow Gavilar's vision and charisma to the end of reunification, convincing the highprinces to join under Gavilar's rule, often by force. It is during this conflict that Dalinar earns the nickname the Blackthorn, for his might and ruthlessness as a warrior. From then on Dalinar is feared as the most powerful warrior in Alethkar, and his genius on the battlefield is remembered as a large factor in their success in reuniting the highprinces.
Dalinar's wife passes away in 1163. Sometime after, he seeks the Old Magic, whose curse wipes away all of his memories of her. Now whenever someone says her name, Dalinar only hears the sound of the wind. If he ever encounters the name in any other manner, he is unable retain it in his mind.[9][10]
Gavilar's Change and the Discovery of the Parshendi
In the years after the reunification of Alethkar, Gavilar begins to lose his thirst for battle. He starts reading a book called The Way of Kings, trying to convince Dalinar and his other highprinces to be peaceful and to follow the Alethi Codes of War. [8] Like the other highprinces, Dalinar resists his brother's ideas, finding them unpalatable and strange – even un-Alethi. To try and change Gavilar's mind, Dalinar convinces him to go an expedition, a hunt for a chasmfiend. He suggests this hoping to remind Gavilar of the good times in their youth, to reawaken his brother's fighting spirit.[11]
In 1166, Dalinar and Gavilar set out on their expedition. In an unmapped forest south of the Shattered Plains, Dalinar meets a Parshendi patrol. At first disbelieving what he thought were simple parshmen acting individually, in a civilized society, Dalinar quickly accepts that the Parshendi were intelligent and organized, unlike their parshmen cousins. Dalinar brings Gavilar to meet them, and within days the Alethi and Parshendi are communicating well.[11] A year later, the Parshendi sign a formal treaty with Alethkar in the Alethi capitol of Kholinar.
War of Reckoning (1167 – 1173)
Gavilar's Death
Within hours of the treaty signing, the Parshendi send Szeth, the Assassin in White, to assassinate Gavilar. When the Alethi king is assassinated in the middle of the feast, Dalinar is in a drunken stupor, completely unaware and unable to help.[12][6] Gavilar's last words are written beside his body, addressed to Dalinar, saying that he must find the most important words a man can say. Dalinar recognizes the quote from The Way of Kings and begins living up to the teachings from the book, as his brother had done. Dalinar blames himself for Gavilar's death, and undergoes a radical change in personality as he follows the book's teachings.
Dalinar also begins to adhere to the same Alethi Codes of War that Gavilar had tried to convince the others to follow.[6] Had Dalinar been following the first of the Codes, "Readiness", he would never have been drunk, and therefore would have been sober enough to try and aid his brother against the assassin. After Gavilar's death, Dalinar joins forces with Gavilar's son, King Elhokar, and the other highprinces to pursue the Parshendi to the Shattered Plains under the Vengeance Pact.
The War Against the Parshendi
At first, Dalinar throws himself into the fighting against the Parshendi with abandon, his guilt driving him. But as his grief faded, so did his thirst for battle and war. Dalinar and the Kholin warcamp follow the Codes when no other Alethi highprince would. He studies the words of Nohadon, the author of The Way of Kings, convinced that he must now become an example to Alethkar and lead them towards peace and honor.
At the same time, Dalinar begins having fits during every highstorm. During these fits, Dalinar loses awareness of his surroundings, experiencing visions of the past as though he were living them himself. The visions seem to be from the Almighty,[4] leading Dalinar to believe that God was telling him to unite the Alethi highprinces. In most of these visions, the Knights Radiant are present. This loss of awareness is frightening by itself, but seeing the Radiants as heroes is disturbing to Dalinar and his family. The Kholins keep Dalinar separate from others during highstorms, not willing to let others see him during these fits.
Men begin to speak of Dalinar the same way they'd spoken of Gavilar later in his life, namely that he is becoming weak and feeble despite Dalinar's history as a powerful general. The rumors of his madness during the storms combined with his strange obsession with the teachings of The Way of Kings have lost Dalinar a lot of respect and influence among his peers.
The War Changes
The battle against the Parshendi was the first time Dalinar lost the Thrill.[13] This loss of the Thrill during battle causes Dalinar to question why he is fighting this war, and whether alternative methods of settling the Alethi dispute with the Parshendi would yield better results. The highprinces would view Dalinar's wish for a more peaceful resolution as a further sign of weakness rather than wisdom, so he keeps this to himself.
Dalinar is deeply frustrated by the war at the Shattered Plains, as the highprinces' priorities have changed from seeking vengeance on the Parshendi to competing for gemhearts in order to gain wealth for themselves. Dalinar believes the war on the Parshendi has become nothing but a game to the highprinces and strives to unite them. He wants to be the Highprince of War to realize this.[8] Despite his ambivalent feelings about staying at the Shattered Plains, Dalinar is devoted to Elhokar and the nation of Alethkar above all. Though Dalinar rarely goes on hunts, in 1173 he decides to accompany Elhokar and Sadeas. Elhokar manages to tease Dalinar into a footrace, and for his nephew's sake, Dalinar lets him win.
Adolin wonders at this, and Dalinar explains that it is important to lift up Elhokar and support him in even the small ways. Even the little victories will help Elhokar feel more like a king and raising his confidence and reputation would actually make him a better king. Adolin is impressed at this logic, but is quickly appalled when Dalinar then confides his wish for the Alethi to be back in Alethkar. Adolin is shocked and upset at this suggestion, even when Dalinar shares his concern about the state of affairs back in their home since they've been away at war for so long. Adolin was already worried about his father's sanity,[14] but when Dalinar begins to make important decisions based on the visions – like wanting to leave the Shattered Plains – Adolin questions the wisdom in trusting dreams, especially blasphemous ones. Dalinar maintains that the visions were real and grows further determined to unite the Alethi highprinces.
A chasmfiend surprises them on top of the plateau, Dalinar saves Elhokar from being killed by it. It is a reminder of Dalinar's strength to their armies, but it doesn't last. After the battle, Elhokar shows Dalinar a cut strap on his saddle and asks him to look into it. Elhokar suspects the work of assassins but Dalinar believes Elhokar to be overly paranoid; he agrees to investigate to allay Elhokar's fears. He takes Adolin to check on the cut strap but the results are inconclusive. Dalinar tells Elhokar that it was unclear and he is overreacting, but Elhokar staunchly believes that someone was trying to kill him.
Dalinar still didn't know what Gavilar meant by his last words, telling him to find the most important words that a man can say.[6]
Dalinar Reaches Out
Dalinar and Sadeas work in tandem to strongarm another highprince, Vamah, into using the king's Soulcasters, ensuring that Vamah must depend on Elhokar's resources to continue in the war. Though Adolin is suspicious of Sadeas, who can be unkind at times, Dalinar knows that Sadeas holds the good of Alethkar as his top priority as much as he does. It is situations like this that Dalinar knows that he can trust Sadeas in his goal of uniting the highprinces. Dalinar continues to try and use other means to try and manipulate the other highprinces to follow Elhokar.
Dalinar promises Renarin that he will give him a set of Shardplate as soon as he has one to spare.
He suggests to Elhokar that they withdraw from the Shattered Plains. Like Adolin, Elhokar is horrified at the suggestion and is alarmed at what his uncle is thinking. Dalinar changes tack, stating that they have lingered on the Plains for far too long and that they need a new strategy to defeat the Parshendi. He asks Elhokar to make him the Highprince of War so he might have the power to enforce changes in the other warcamps. Elhokar refuses to give him the title unless Dalinar can prove that it's possible for the highprinces to productively work together.[8]
Adolin tells Dalinar that the girth strap on Elhokar's saddle was cut after all, but it's not clear whether it was an accident or not. They decide that Elhokar is being paranoid but they know they can't rule out his suspicions. Dalinar has had a fit in front of men for the first time, one where he meets pair of Knights Radiant, but refuses to be ashamed. He claims it's good for his men to actually see it for themselves instead of believing rumors. Almost right after this, Elhokar publicly announces that there is a plot on his life, and that based on the evidence of the cut girth strap, he is naming Sadeas to be the Highprince of Information to investigate the assassins. This allows Sadeas as much power as Dalinar would have had as Highprince of War; it is a direct snub by Elhokar for refusing to take the attempt on his life seriously.[15]
Dalinar's first overtures of partnership with some of the other highprinces are rejected. Adolin is upset at what just happened and suspects Sadeas will try something. He argues with Dalinar and tells him that the visions are just nonsense. Dalinar instead goes to listen to a reading of The Way of Kings, and wonders if Adolin is right. The reading is interrupted by a chasmfiend sighting. For once, Dalinar agrees to go chase it, and Adolin succeeds in retrieving the gemheart. Dalinar looks east from their plateau when he sees a Parshendi wearing Shardplate.
Later he finds out that eight of the highprinces have refused to go on a joint assault with him, only leaving Sadeas to partner with. Dalinar is disturbed by his failure in this, and at the changes in himself. He confides his feelings in Navani, who has recently arrived at the Plains, and confesses that he is going to abdicate to Adolin. She disagrees and encourages him to stay the course.[11]
He accepts this. Soon after, another highstorm passes, and he has a vision while Navani attends. In this vision, he meets Nohadon, and wonders why the author of a book promoting a way of peace says that now only the sword is needed. When he comes back to himself, Navani proves his visions to be real when she recognizes what Dalinar has been speaking during the visions is the Dawnchant, a long dead language that Dalinar couldn't have known.[16] Knowing that the visions are real bolsters Dalinar's confidence, and he knows for certain now that his task is true. He must unite the princes and he knows he can trust Sadeas.
Battle of the Tower
Dalinar and Sadeas set out on their joint expedition. They use Sadeas' method of crossing chasms, a point of contention between them because Dalinar thinks they waste too many lives. When they start fighting the Parshendi on a distant plateau, Sadeas pulls his troops and bridges out, leaving Dalinar, Adolin, and the whole Kholin army surrounded by the Parshendi, stranded with no way out. Adolin yells that he had told Dalinar not to trust Sadeas and Dalinar agrees. They are fighting a losing battle, waiting until they die. Dalinar squares off against the Parshendi Shardbearer, but he is losing.
Things are looking hopeless for them when a single bridge crew, Bridge Four led by Kaladin, returns and saves them. The bridge offers the army a way off of the plateau and Kaladin is able to fight off enough of the Parshendi enough to allow Dalinar, Adolin, and the remains of the Kholin army to escape.[17][18][19] Dalinar promises Kaladin that he'll free him and his crew from Sadeas.[19] They all return to the warcamp to confront Sadeas.
When Sadeas refuses to sell the bridgemen to Dalinar, Dalinar offers his Shardblade, Oathbringer, in payment instead. Sadeas accepts.[5] Dalinar appoints Kaladin as the captain of all the bridgemen who will be trained as soldiers to replenish the Kholin army.[20] Bridge Four is appointed as the honor guard for Dalinar and his family. Dalinar also gives Kaladin his cloak, to mark him as a Kholin soldier and even part of his family.[20] Dalinar also gives his son Renarin his Shardplate.[5] By relinquishing both of his Shards, Dalinar keeps his promises to Kaladin and Renarin, proving himself an honorable man.
Dalinar realizes that the assassination attempt on Elhokar was a fabrication and he confronts his nephew. The king admits cutting his own girth strap, but he maintains that he had nothing to do with the weakened gemstones in his Shardplate.[5] Dalinar emphasizes his loyalty to his nephew by attacking and then not killing Elhokar, stating his love for him and his desire to protect him. Dalinar unequivocally orders Elhokar to name him the Highprince of War and Elhokar agrees to do it. Dalinar also informs Elhokar that he is now in a relationship with Navani, Elhokar's mother, and that he should get used to it.
In the next highstorm, Dalinar experiences another vision in which he realizes that the Almighty, who had spoken to him in his visions has all this time been unable to hear what Dalinar was saying.[21] Dalinar realizes that he had misinterpreted the visions and that the Almighty had not been calling him to specifically unite Alethkar or specifically to trust Sadeas. The Almighty's words in the visions were a recording and not a conversation with him. The Almighty said to Dalinar that he, God, was dead and that Odium had killed him.[21]
Refounding of the Knights Radiant (1173 - )
The Start
Dalinar plans, in his capacity as Highprince of War, to unify Alethkar and refound the Knights Radiant.[22] Navani has begun staying with him while he has his visions so she can record them and translate what Dalinar says. After such a vision, Dalinar goes to bed, and when he awakes the next morning, he finds glyphs scratched onto his wall: Sixty-two days. Death follows.
Kaladin, as Dalinar's bodyguard, is embarrassed that someone managed to sneak into Dalinar's room and write such a threatening message. Dalinar doesn't blame Kaladin in the least, and in fact makes note that he trusts Kaladin significantly.[22] He sends Kaladin away, assuring him that this message is a small matter. Navani wonders why Dalinar seems to know what it means, and Dalinar responds that it simply means he has very little time. Dalinar doesn't tell anyone that he suspects he'd somehow written those glyphs himself without knowing it.[23]
Dalinar brings together a small group composed of Navani, Elhokar, Adolin, Renarin, Kaladin, and his top general, Khal and Khal's wife, Teshav. Dalinar had just released a proclamation stating that all gemhearts won in battle now belong to the king and the wealth will be apportioned at the Crown's discretion. This proclamation was made in order to re-focus the highprinces' attention on the war and not on gaining wealth. Dalinar did this also knowing that it would enrage the highprinces and possibly set them against him. He nonetheless deemed the proclamation a necessary action. He wants the highprinces angry, to remind them of why they came to the Shattered Plains in the first place.[2]
The next thing he announces is that he intends to disarm the highprinces (making them more malleable) by having Adolin begin dueling. He had previously forbidden Adolin from dueling, as it goes against the Codes for an officer to duel during wartime, but this time Adolin would be duelling for others' Shardblades and Shardplates.
Lastly, when prompted on his endgame, Dalinar states his intention to refound the Radiants. He isn't sure why exactly he needs to refound the Radiants, but he knows he only has about sixty days to do it.
In this meeting, though not everyone agrees with him, Dalinar commands the respect of the room. Kaladin notes that he is acting like a king even when Elhokar is present.[2]
Dalinar Tries Again
The first highprince Dalinar approaches is Aladar. He approaches Aladar in person while Adolin leads the Kholin troops into battle to help Aladar's army. Aladar is unhappy with him, citing that Dalinar's proclamation hurt him, but Dalinar has none of it. He threatens Aladar with reminding him what happened to another highprince, Highprince Yenev, when Yenev refused to accept the unification of Alethkar. Dalinar offers advice on the battlefield below where they're talking, and though his advice wins Aladar the battle, Aladar still refuses to side with him.[23]
After another highstorm and vision from the Almighty, Kaladin speaks to Dalinar. He tells Dalinar about what happened to him in Amaram's army, namely that he had won a Shardblade in battle, but Amaram had stolen it from him and sold Kaladin into slavery. As Amaram is an old friend of Dalinar's, and now staying at the Shattered Plains, Dalinar doesn't quite believe Kaladin. He asks for proof, citing his experience of Amaram's character as honorable.[24]
Almost right after, someone tries to assassinate Elhokar. Dalinar and Kaladin discuss it, namely that the attempt was extremely clumsy and was done by someone with a Shardblade. Dalinar re-states his trust in Kaladin, and warns him that there will be more assassination attempts, and something worse – the Everstorm.[25]
The Assassin in White
Szeth comes after Dalinar on the night of another highstorm. Dalinar, Adolin, and Kaladin go to fight him. Szeth handles them with ease. Dalinar shouts that he will never let Szeth take Elhokar's life, but Szeth says he is here to kill Dalinar. Szeth swings his Blade down and Dalinar catches it in his hands, a maneuver known as the Last Clap, giving Kaladin enough time to tackle Szeth out of the palace.[26]
At a meeting with the other highprinces, Dalinar offers a place to Shallan Davar, the young woman who is in a causal betrothal arrangement with his son, Adolin. She refuses, explaining that she already has a place in Highprince Sebarial's warcamp. Dalinar and the other princes discuss the Assassin, but Dalinar dismisses their arguments, stating that the Assassin is essentially unstoppable. Therefore the best course of action is to try and stop the reason for the war. Since the Parshendi were the ones who hired Szeth last time, Dalinar suggests going to the Parshendi to discuss terms of peace. Adolin had been receiving requests from the Parshendi in that regard already. Dalinar announces his plan to meet the Parshendi and either agree on peace or defeat them.[27]
Preparing for the Storm
Though Dalinar doesn't want to send Adolin to meet the Parshendi, Adolin argues that Dalinar is the most important man around. Dalinar cannot be risked.[28] Adolin meets the Parshendi Shardbearer, Eshonai, and pretends to be Dalinar. He communicates with Dalinar from a distance via spanreed so that his answers sound like his father. Eshonai makes clear that the Parshendi will not deal for peace, and will make an assault on the Alethi later. Though this means Dalinar has a lot of work to do to get an army together that can face the Parshendi, his conscience is now clear. He tells Adolin to win more dueling matches, to gather as many Shards as possible before this battle with the Parshendi.[28]
As part of his preparations, Dalinar publicly announces that he is refounding the Knights Radiant and places Brightlord Amaram at their head.[29]
That night, Adolin is to fight a duel against multiple opponents to try and win more Shards. At the arena, there are four combatants for Adolin to fight instead of the implied two. Dalinar is close to going in to back Adolin up, but he has no Plate or Blade to use. Renarin jumps into the fight armed with only a Blade and no Plate. Dalinar shouts at the crowd, asking someone to help his sons, but no one answers, including Amaram. Kaladin walks in and joins the fight to help Adolin and Renarin.[30]
With Kaladin's help, the fight is won. The king offers Adolin a boon, but Kaladin takes the opportunity to challenge Amaram. Elhokar demands Kaladin's life for the insult, but Dalinar defends him, stating that if Elhokar executes Kaladin, then he'll have made an enemy of Dalinar. Afterwards, Dalinar reprimands Kaladin, and orders him to accept the time in prison Elhokar compromised on. He blames Kaladin for losing them their chance to move against Sadeas, but thanks him for saving his sons' lives. [31]
Dalinar visits Kaladin in prison, letting him know Elhokar will release him soon. He explains some of Elhokar's actions, including that of exiling Brightlord Roshone - not aware that Roshone is responsible for the death of Kaladin's brother, Tien. Dalinar tells Kaladin that though his feelings are not misplaced, the only way he's going to change things is by being a leader beyond reproach.[32]
The Expedition Sets Off
With only days to go before the Everstorm comes as predicted by the glyphs on his walls, Dalinar is trying to gather as many allies as possible for the excursion into the Plains. He goes to speak with some highprinces at a party, but at the party he finds someone has been spreading around papers which are accounts of his visions, with the purpose of humiliating and discrediting him. They are Navani's words of the accounts but twisted to mock him. Navani is upset that her own words are being used to hurt Dalinar, but Dalinar takes it in stride. He stands up on a table and declares that what the sheets say is true, more or less. He tells everyone there that his visions will vindicate him, and he is eager to speak with everyone present about it. He spends the rest of the party speaking with interested parties, ignoring outright mockery but engaging the crowds trying to get support for the battle with the Parshendi.[33]
Afterwards he speaks with Wit. Wit tells him that he is a tyrant, though he doesn't denounce Dalinar for it. Dalinar laments this, explaining that even a benevolent tyrant isn't what Roshar needs right now. When he and Gavilar tried to unify Alethkar years ago, they did it with force, and Dalinar is realizing now that they didn't succeed – they only showed the other highprinces that strength was the right of rule.[33]
The expedition gets started. Dalinar visits an injured Kaladin, previously missing down in the chasms of the Shattered Plains. During their conversation, Dalinar thinks he sees something about Kaladin, and he wonders if Kaladin is the one he's been waiting for. Kaladin denies it.[34] Dalinar takes Amaram to meet Kaladin. He asks Amaram if the stories Kaladin had told are true, and Amaram denies it. Dalinar then demands that Amaram apologize to Kaladin, going so far as to hold a Shardblade to Amaram's throat.[35]
As it turns out, Dalinar had devised a test to see if Amaram was who Kaladin claimed he was. Dalinar knew Amaram had lied to him. He's forced to let Amaram go, even though he and Kaladin know he's a murderer. They plan on retrieving Amaram later.
The Battle at Stormseat
The expedition sets off, and Dalinar has three supporters: Roion, Sebarial, and Aladar. Dalinar speaks with them, stating his trust in them. The four armies set out just as the Weeping begins.
On the way, Shallan has co-opted the scribes and mapmakers, with Navani's help, for the purpose of finding the lost city of Urithiru. While discussing the Knights Radiant, Shallan suggests that Dalinar's task may not have been to refound the Knights Radiant, but to gather them. She reveals her Lightweaving abilities, and Dalinar cries in awe. Dalinar tries to give her leadership over the Knights Radiant, but she refuses. He tells her that she reminds him of Jasnah, his deceased niece and her mentor. She gives him hope for the future, that he might truly be able to change the world in the right way.[36]
A Parshendi surrenders to the Alethi armies, one named Rlain, previously known as Shen, who had worked in Bridge Four. Rlain had disappeared a while back, but admits now that he was a Parshendi spy. Rlain tells Dalinar that the Parshendi are no more, and have been replaced with their ancient gods. Dalinar promises to help, and asks Rlain to speak to Shallan and give her the directions to the Parshendi city.[37] They march and by the day of the glyph's warnings, arrive near to the Parshendi city and where Shallan thinks the Oathgate is.
On the next day, Dalinar and his soldiers see Parshendi on the plateau next to them, lined up with glowing red eyes. Dalinar tells Shallan to find the way to Urithiru at all costs, as that is their only hope of retreat if things go wrong. He gives Roion, Aladar, and Sebarial their orders, bolstering them as needed. Dalinar's plan changes when Rlain tells him the song the Parshendi are singing must be stopped – they attack immediately. [38]
The battle starts in earnest, and the Parshendi's song begins stirring up a storm. Dalinar hears a voice talking to him, recognizing it as the Almighty's voice. This is the first time he's heard the voice in his waking hours, outside of visions. [38] Dalinar asks him who he is, since the Almighty claims he is dead, but the voice says he is not the Almighty, but something left behind of Him – a sliver of God. This voice, the Stormfather, tells Dalinar he is sorry that Dalinar will die here, and that this is the end of the visions.[39]
Dalinar receives word that Shallan has found the entrance to Urithiru and orders all troops to evacuate there immediately.[40] Before he can follow, Szeth appears. Dalinar tries to convince Szeth to leave, but quickly realizes that Szeth is not in his right mind. They begin fighting, but as before, Szeth is too much for him. Roion tries to help Dalinar, but is quickly killed. Using his powers over gravity, Szeth sends Dalinar shooting up into the sky, ensuring his death by letting him fall from a great height. He is rescued at the last second by Kaladin, who uses his new powers as a Windrunner to lower Dalinar safely back to the ground.[40][41] Dalinar knows now that Kaladin is what he has been looking for all this time.
Dalinar gets everyone to the plateau where the gateway to Urithiru is. Shallan gets the Oathgate to work and teleports everyone on the plateau to Urithiru. There, he goes to the rooftop of the city's tower and tries to speak with the Stormfather again. The Stormfather answers, but doesn't want to help Dalinar at all. The Stormfather was required by the Almighty to share the visions, but the Stormfather is angry at humanity for killing spren in the past. Dalinar doesn't give up and demands a bond with him. The Stormfather grudgingly acquiesces, though has no hope for Dalinar's chances of success at defeating Odium. Dalinar is now a Bondsmith, one who brings men together.[3]
He goes back to Kaladin, Shallan, and Renarin, the other Radiants that he knows of. He warns them that the Everstorm is coming, and it will change the parshmen into those red-eyed Parshendi they know are Voidbringers. His task now is try and save as many people as possible for when that happens.[3]
Attributes and Abilities
Dalinar's Calling is to be a leader, and his chosen Glory is determination.[8] His devotary is the Order of Talenelat.[42]
House Kholin
Dalinar is the head of the Kholin household. His nephew, Elhokar Kholin, is an exception, as Elhokar is in the royal line and thus above and outside Dalinar's authority. The Kholin family is made up of his sons Adolin and Renarin, his sister-in-law Navani, and his niece Jasnah. As highprince of the Kholin princedom, Dalinar owns all of the land belonging to the Kholin princedom.
Kholin Army
Dalinar is also the head of the Kholin army. Though he is the commander of the whole Kholin army, he often gives leadership over battles and other aspects to his son, Adolin.
Within the Kholin army is the Cobalt Guard, the honor guard of the members of the Kholin house.
Since Dalinar began reading The Way of Kings, he has experienced visions during every highstorm. These visions feel real to him.[43] He experiences these visions as himself, but seems to take on a role of a real person - other people in the visions see him as someone else, not as an outsider. In every vision, Dalinar hears a voice speaking to him, a voice he believes to be the Almighty. This voice speaks cryptically, not answering Dalinar's questions, and commanding him to "unite them". This is probably because the visions function more as pre-recorded experiences than interactable activities.
These visions are disturbing to watch from the outside, and he speaks other languages for their duration. At first, Dalinar and his household thought he was speaking gibberish,[44] but Navani recognizes what he speaks as the Dawnchant. That is a language Dalinar was never taught, and thus couldn't be speaking unless the visions were real.
At the Battle of Narak, the Stormfather told Dalinar he would receive no more visions,[3] but it is uncertain whether that is still true since Dalinar bonded the Stormfather.
Dalinar has a Nahel bond with the Stormfather, the spren of the Almighty, and the personification of storms and the divine. His Surges are Tension and Adhesion. Adhesion allows the Surgebinder to bind objects together, and Tension grants the Surgebinder power over Soft Axial Connections.
Like all Surgebinders, Dalinar can draw or breathe in Stormlight, which gives him superhuman strength, speed, and healing capabilities. The specific abilities of Bondsmiths are unknown at this time.
Shardwielding (formerly)
Before giving them up, Dalinar possessed a set of Shardplate and a Shardblade named Oathbringer. He is considered extremely skilled at using them.[7]
" I have spent too much of my time worrying about what people think, Navani. When I thought my time had arrived, I realized that all my worrying had been wasted. In the end, I was pleased with how I had lived my life. "— Dalinar to Navani about their relationship[5]
" Well, you've shown me something today, Sadeas – shown it to me by the very act of trying to remove me. . . You've shown me that I'm still a threat. "— Dalinar to Sadeas after the Battle of the Tower[5]
" So today, you and your men sacrificed to buy me twenty-six hundred priceless lives. And all I had to repay you with was a single priceless sword. I call that a bargain. "— Dalinar to Kaladin[5]
" I have been treating the other highprinces and their lighteyes like adults. An adult can take a principle and adapt it to his needs. But we're not ready for that yet. We're children. And when you're teaching a child, you require him to do what is right until he grows old enough to make his own choices. "— Dalinar to Elhokar[5]
" I will unite instead of divide, Stormfather. I will bring men together. "— Dalinar's second Oath as Bondsmith[3]
- Dalinar was originally from the first book that Brandon wrote when he was fifteen, where he was named Jared.[45] Brandon used him in other books, such as the unpublished Dragonsteel, before eventually using him in The Stormlight Archive.[46] Brandon has said that he didn't get the character "right" until he re-wrote The Way of Kings from scratch after The Way of Kings Prime.[47]
- Dalinar was originally named Dalenar in The Way of Kings Prime[48]
- Dalinar originally had three sons in The Way of Kings Prime: Sheneres, Aredor and Renarin. Sheneres died while trying to protect his uncle.[48]
