From the critically acclaimed author of The Memory Cathedral comes perhaps the most powerful, haunting, and unforgettable novel of the Civil War - or any war - ever written. Provocative, poetic, and disturbing, it introduces us to a young narrator, Mundy McDowell, whose voice rivals any in literature, bringing poignantly to life the surreal horrors of battle and its spiritual cost to human survival.I was scarce twelve the day the damn Yankees invaded the valley. I seen a lot that day I ain't never gonna forget.
Men blown apart, screamin' and dyin' all around me. I was wandering in the woods like I wasn't supposed to and wound up right in the middle of the battle. And that's what I suppose saved me.When I got back home the main house was burning to the ground. I saw two men wearin' bits and pieces of 'Federate and Yank uniforms. They killed Poppa right off, and Mother they dragged into the front yard before they killed her too. I reckon that was the day I first got the knack of being invisible.
The spirit dog seen me right off, though. He was big and black and smelled like burning. His eyes were like red coals and everywhere he went, it seemed death followed. Him and me, we mostly traveled together after that.
I passed through midnight fields of dead and dying soldiers, reeking makeshift field hospitals worse than hell itself; climbed into the mountains where the runaway slaves hid; and walked through towns shattered by the passage of the war.
I met a lot of people, some of them living and some of them just memories. There was Jimmadasin, the slave who died on my account, and Mammy Jack, who taught me to see visions; the gallant Colonel Ashby, who let me ride by his side, and, of course, the mulatto whore Lucy, who saved my life twice.
Last but not least, there was mad but brilliant General Jackson, who was probably responsible for putting more men in their graves than any other during the Shenandoah campaign. Whether he was a hero or a demon I never did determine, but I wish I had never met him at all.
And through it all I remained silent. The power of speech left me the day my parents were killed and I first saw the spirit dog. You see, the whole time I was wandering through that valley of death I was deciding on whether to go back to being human or to become a spirit myself, and that's what this book is all about.

Summer lovin' at The Burrows
Bettystown enclave is just a five-minute walk from playgrounds, tennis, golf and the beach
Should that long, hot summer ever materialise, The Burrows would be just the spot for enjoying the weather. The small enclave is just a five-minute walk from Bettystown Beach, where the early medieval Tara Brooch was found buried in the sand in 1850.
While the scheme of five two-storey homes, named after the sand dunes that stretch from the beach to the mouth of the river Boyne at Mornington, will no doubt attract family buyers prepared to commute to Dublin, it also holds appeal to house-hunters from the capital keen on a holiday home that they can reach easily at the weekend. As well as the beach, there's a links golf course, a tennis club and playground within a brief stroll.
The detached four-beds, situated off the east Meath village's Eastham Road, were launched last weekend and two of the five units have already been booked, according to the selling agent. Prices at The Burrows, built by Frank Taaffe Developments, start at €395,000.
The exteriors of the double-fronted homes have a pitched roof, a mix of stone cladding and render, uPVC fascia and soffits, and a feature dormer window protruding from the first floor. The front gardens come with cobble-lock paving and a landscaped lawn, complementing the landscaped common greens.
Accommodation at the properties is spread out over 1,700 sq ft. Interior finishes include plaster cornicing in the main reception room and hallway, contemporary skirting and architraves, and painted shaker-style doors with brushed-chrome lever handles.
On entering, there is a sitting room to the left with bevelled glass double doors that lead to a kitchen-dining area to the rear. This, in turn, has a further set of double doors that open out on to the patio and back garden.
The kitchen units from the Panel Centre are hand-painted, in a classic shaker style, and come with soft-close drawers and a silestone counter-top.
To the right of the entrance hall is the living room, and there is a separate utility room and a guest WC at the back of the ground floor.
Upstairs is a master bedroom with an en-suite, as well as three other bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are fitted wardrobes and pendant lighting in all of the bedrooms. The en-suites are fitted with walk-in pressurised showers and heated towel rails.
The homes have an A2 BER thanks to energy-saving features such as PV solar panels. Central heating and hot water storage are provided by an electric A-class Dimplex air-source heat pump. An air-tight wood-burning stove in both of the main reception rooms give them a cosy feel.
Even if the Irish weather refuses to play ball, prospective buyers at The Burrows can make the most out of our plentiful deluges by harvesting rainwater and using it to water flowerbeds or wash the car.
Rain captured by the harvesting system is filtered, stored in a big tank underneath the front lawn and dispensed back into the storm water after use.
Would-be buyers at The Burrows can travel to Dublin or Belfast from the nearby Laytown Train Station - Connolly Station is a 50 minute journey. The M1 motorway can be accessed through both Bettystown and Laytown.

Almost 950 jobs were axed yesterday with the closure of two electronics factories belonging to LG Philips Displays.
The company, which is a joint venture set up in 2001 between Korean LG and Dutch Philips makes colour display tubes and other components for computer monitors. In Newport, South Wales, 870 people will lose their jobs in August, with a further 71 jobs going in Southport at the end of this year or early next year.
In 1996, LG was awarded a maximum of £240m of aid from the Welsh Development Agency in return for a £1.7 billion investment in the area. The company had pledged to create 6,100 jobs, but after yesterday's cuts it has only 400 workers left in the town.
When the deal was first announced, William Hague, Welsh secretary at the time, said it was a "wonderful opportunity". "It's the biggest vote of confidence the Welsh economy has ever had," he added.
A spokesman for the Welsh Development Agency said talks had been started with LG over the return of the money it was awarded since it has failed to reach its targets. He declined to reveal how much money LG had been granted.
The group blamed the collapse of the market for conventional computer monitors thanks to the increasing popularity of flat screens. A spokesman said the collapse had been "tremendous". He said the group was in talks with unions, which understood the problems LG Philips faced.
Phil Styles, general manager of manufacturing at Newport, said: "The decision to close was made with great regret and is based solely on the continuing adverse business situation." At Southport, the manager blamed cheap products from China and Poland for undermining the economic viability of the plant.
Welsh economic development minister Andrew Davies said the Assembly Government was "extremely disappointed" to learn of the plant's closure.

"Waiting for test results from DRI"
About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary / Accident and emergency Doncaster Royal Infirmary Accident and emergency Doncaster DN2 5LT
Posted by Open899 (as ),
I was recently taken in to A&E at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. I was treated very professionally and with respect. I was in hospital all day and had blood tests, ECG and an x-ray, and was told that my results would be fast-tracked to my GP. I have an excellent GP in Dr Burne - she is caring, very kind and professional. I know that she will do her very best to make me feel better. The problem is that Dr Burne has had no feedback from the hospital and it has been two weeks since the tests were carried out.

America in Foreclosure
Published by Wreybies in the blog Ponderings of a Pachyderm. Views: 116
We, America, Americans, are in trouble.
Our foreign policy has us painted as the worst bully on the block. There were other bullies at one time, fighting to keep their corner of the street, but now that we are the only bully left, it seems that we want to provoke otherwise-non-bullies into being bullies so that we can keep ourselves in the bully game.
As if that weren't bad enough…
If you know me, you know what I do for a living.
In the last few weeks the new call de jour is the foreclosure conversation. I'm not so much worried about the number of calls I take on that subject as I am worried about the number of calls I don't take which concern foreclosures.
* I am one interpreter out of about 500 for Spanish alone.
* My company employs interpreters for almost 30 different languages.
* There are other interpretation companies.
* Then, of course, there are the vast greater majority of calls that never require interpreters because the client and the loan officer speak the same language.
America is in foreclosure.
I saw the cause, first hand when I left Florida. My little 1400 square foot, ranch style house (tiny, but well kept, in a respectable neighborhood) sold for $245,000. I bought it for $70,000. Under no circumstances is that little, cute, well kept, house worth $245,000. The young couple who bought the house explained that they wanted to live in the area where my home was located because the elementary, junior high, and high school for that area were rated A+, and they wanted their children to go to those schools. And it was the only home currently on the market in that area anywhere close to what they could afford.
Half of me was euphoric at the profit I was going to make.
The other half of me knew I was going to Hell for the profit I was about to make.
You can guess which half won.
My sale and subsequent purchase here in Puerto Rico was perfectly timed (although purely by chance) to be just in advance of the arrival of the housing boom bubble in Puerto Rico. It burst months after my purchase here.
America is in trouble.
Everyday I speak to people who are about to call their car their home.

US Open champion Rafael Nadal teamed up with Marc Lopez to give Spain an unassailable 3-0 lead over Ukraine in their Davis Cup World Group play-off on Saturday.
The Spanish pair beat Denys Molchanov and Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-2, 6-7 (6/8), 6-3, 6-4 in just over three hours to ensure the five-time champions will remain amongst the world's top 16 nations next year.
It was Nadal's third best-of-five set match in just six days as after sealing his 13th Grand Slam title in New York on Monday, he cruised to a 6-0, 6-0, 6-4 win over Stakhovsky on Friday.
"The doubles are always up and down in Davis Cup -- very long matches and on clay even more so." Nadal, who will not play in the dead rubbers on Sunday, told www.daviscup.com.
"We started great, then we played a few bad games in the second set when we had everything under control. The positive thing is that in the last two sets we played with the right attitude, we were able to win the confrontation and the goal is done, we stay in the World Group for another year."
The 27-year-old Nadal hadn't been expected to play in the doubles having not done so in the Davis Cup since 2006.
However, Nadal admitted on Friday that having made the effort to come straight from six weeks on the American hard courts back onto the clay of the Spanish capital, it was only a small extra demand to play in the doubles.

I treat substance use disorders including alcohol, amphetamines, and cocaine. However, addiction to pain killers represent the overwhelming majority of my addiction services.
Addiction to pain killers (opioids) is a chronic disease characterized by frequent relapses. The centerpiece of treatment is to eliminate the cravings and the painful withdrawal allowing you to think and function normally. Once this has been achieved, then with psychosocial counseling, you can learn to address the stressors that caused you to misuse opioids (hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, oxycontin, methadone, morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.) or kratom.
Suboxone® (buprenorphine and naloxone) is one of two drugs approved by the FDA to treat opioid addiction. The other is methadone. Opioids attach to receptors in the brain and spinal cord with three main effects: reduced respiration, euphoria,
and decreased pain. The more opioids you take the more of an effect you receive. When you stop opioids, the opposite occurs; cravings, pain, depression, and jitteriness.Suboxone® binds to the same opioid receptors without producing the euphoria while having a milder respiratory and pain relieving effect. The binding tricks the receptors into thinking that it is receiving opioids. In fact, Suboxone® binds so strongly to the receptors that it will displace the other opioids. This exceptionally strong binding ability prevents other opioids from binding. With this characteristic, effects can last up to 3 days, you receive relief long enough to function with your life.
I offer a 7 day, 30 day, 90 day detox and a longer Suboxone® maintenance period. That decision can be made after performing a history, physical, blood work, drug screening, and counseling to determine what would work best for you.
Once you call me at (918) 518-1636, we will make a plan to treat you on an outpatient basis that is individualized for you and moves at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Each patient is unique and treatment must be individualized. Your care will be designed for you with the goals to get you off of the drugs that you are addicted to and get you to recovery. The treatment is successful when you can return to a life that is happy and fulfilling again.
I make use of additional medications such as gabapentin, memantine, amitriptyline, and clonidine to minimize the amount of Suboxone you need and devise the fastest, easiest and cheapest treatment to give you control of your life.
Treatment is provided with compassion, dignity, and confidentiality. I don't judge, I listen.

WASHINGTON — President Obama told the nation's governors on Monday that the shooting rampage in Kalamazoo, Mich. over the weekend was another clarion call for gun safety legislation.
"On Saturday, another one of our communities was terrorized by gun violence," Obama told the winter meeting of the National Governor's Association at the White House Monday. "I have got to assume that all of you are just as tired as I am of seeing this stuff happen in your states."
Police have charged Jason Dalton, 45, a driver for the ride-hailing service Uber, with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder after a shooting spree that left six people dead Saturday night. A semiautomatic handgun was found in his car, police said.
Obama said he called Kalamazoo's mayor, sheriff and police chief Monday morning to offer federal support, saying they "did an outstanding job in apprehending the individual very quickly. But you've got families who are shattered today."
Responding to a spate of mass shootings in recent months — including the terrorist-inspired shooting in San Bernardino in December that killed 14 people — Obama announced a new round of gun executive actions in January. The biggest policy change clamps down on unlicensed gun sellers who exploit an exception for hobbyists and collectors in order to avoid having to run criminal background checks on gun purchasers.
Monday, Obama said the nation needs to do more.
"So that's an area where we also need to partner and think about what we can do in a common-sense way, in a bipartisan way, without some of the ideological rhetoric that so often surrounds that issue," Obama told the gathering of Republican and Democratic governors.
The complete statement:
On Saturday, another one of our communities was terrorized by gun violence. As many of you read, six people were gunned down in a rampage in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Before I joined all of you, I called the mayor, the sheriff and the police chief and told them they would have whatever federal support they needed in their investigation. Their local officials and first responders, by the way, did an outstanding job in apprehending the individual very quickly.
But you got families who are shattered today. Earlier this year, I took some steps that will make it harder for dangerous people like this individual to buy a gun but clearly we're going to have to do more if we we're going to keep innocent Americans safe. And I got to assume that all of you are just as tired as I am in seeing this stuff happen in your states so that's an area where we also need to partner and think about what we can do in a common-sense and bipartisan way without some of the ideological rhetoric that so often surrounds that issue.

George Clooney had an epic blowup over President Obama with Steve Wynn in Las Vegas that ended with the actor calling Wynn "an a - - hole" and storming off as the casino mogul's security guards got ready to pounce on him.Clooney came to verbal blows with the famously tough Wynn while dining at his Encore hotel with Rande Gerber.A source told Page Six, "George and Rande were in Vegas for a party for their Casamigos tequila and had an early dinner with Wynn and other associates."Things turned nasty as Wynn was provoking George, talking about politics. At first George just wasn't responding. He just sat there politely listening," our source said. But "Steve kept pushing and pushing, then started raising his voice. George still didn't respond, he really didn't want to get into it."But finally, Wynn figured out how to push the "Gravity" star's buttons. "Discussing Obamacare, Steve called Obama 'an a - - hole,' " said our source. "George responded, 'President Obama is my friend, don't talk about him like that.' " Wynn then shot back, 'Your friend is an a - - hole!'"George glared at Steve and said, 'No! You are an a - - hole, and I'm not going to sit here any more and listen to this!' "The sources said while Clooney stuck up for the president, he pointed his finger at Steve, and "Wynn's three goon-like bodyguards immediately loomed up behind Rande and George." But "before Wynn's bodyguards could touch them, George and Rande got up and walked out."Reps for Clooney and Wynn didn't comment. But Wynn had claimed Clooney was downing tequila shots and told the Las Vegas Review Journal of the dust-up with the star two weeks ago, "When he's drinking, he considers himself a close personal buddy of the president."Wynn added Clooney "threw a hissy fit" after a guest made a joke about Mikhail Gorbachev. And, "Clooney's fun to be with when he's sober. If you have a chance to drink with him, you want to get there early, and don't stay late."
George Clooney storms out of heated dinner after Steve Wynn calls President Barack Obama an 'a--hole'The actor didn't take it lightly when the hotel-casino developer began hurling insults at the President. 'I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said, 'Your friend is an a--hole.''BY Zayda Rivera NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, April 23, 2014, 2:57 PMIf you haven't heard, George Clooney is a huge supporter of President Barack Obama.Hotel-casino developer Steve Wynn may not have been aware just how much Clooney backs the Prez, but he quickly found out after calling Obama an "a--hole," reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal."He called the President an a--hole … that is a fact," the 52-year-old actor said in a statement about the heated words they exchanged during a recent dinner at Botero restaurant inside Wynn's Encore hotel in Las Vegas."I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said, 'Your friend is an a--hole,'" he continued. "At that point I told Steve that HE was an a--hole and I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jacka--. And I walked out."Wynn's side of the story paints quite a different picture. One in which Clooney reportedly "got drunk" from several tequila shots."The place was empty," Wynn told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "He stood up and threw a hissy fit."The hotel business magnate referred to Clooney's initial outburst at another dinner guest who made a joke about former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev."Then he sat down and started talking about the Affordable Care Act and that's when I spoke up," Wynn continued. "He didn't like that either. I think my discussion about the Affordable Care Act was the straw that broke the camel's back. When he's drinking, he considers himself a close personal buddy of the President."After which, Clooney supposedly stood up and said, "I don't have to listen to this (expletive) stuff," Wynn said."There were nine people at that table," Clooney's statement read, dismissing Wynn's account. "So you can ask them. Steve likes to go on rants."The "Monuments Men" star and Wynn were joined by Clooney's Casamigos tequila business partners as well as Wynn's wife, Andrea Hissom, and three others."There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us," Clooney added. "Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character."
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says actor George Clooney is a good friend and a good person who is sensitive about protecting that friendship.Obama says Clooney is low-maintenance and doesn't take advantage of their friendship. He says Clooney keeps his distance so that Obama won't be criticized for hanging out with Hollywood celebrities.First lady Michelle Obama said of Clooney: "He's cute, too."In May, Clooney held a fundraiser for Obama at his Los Angeles home that raised nearly $15 million. Clooney is scheduled to hold another fundraiser for Obama later this month in Geneva.Obama tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview airing Monday that he got to know Clooney through his work on Sudan when Obama was in the U.S. Senate.
George Clooney, 52, has a new woman in his life and her name is Amal Alamuddin. The two were first spotted in London together in October, and then got cozy at a special White House screening of his latest film, "The Monuments Men" back in February. Now pictures have surfaced of the two on safari together in Tanzania, People reports. If that's not a serious relationship, what is? So, who is Alamuddin and how did she grab the attention of the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood? 1 - She's Very AccomplishedAccording to her work profile, Alamuddin, 36, is a lawyer, specializing in international law. She is a graduate of the New York University School of Law and in 2011, she started representing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in his fight against extradition. 2 - She's WorldlyThis exotic beauty is Oxford-educated (St. Hugh's College) and fluent in French and Arabic, her profile states. 3 - She's an Author TooAlamuddin "is the co-editor (with David Tolbert and Nidal Jurdi) of a book entitled The Law and Practice of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, to be published in 2013 by Oxford University Press. She is also the author of several book chapters and articles on international criminal law published by Oxford University Press," her profile states. 4 - She's a Chart TopperJust last year, Alamuddin topped the "21 HOTTEST BARRISTERS IN LONDON" list for women, created by Your Barrister Boyfriend. A barrister officially is a member of one of the two classes of lawyer and they specialize in courtroom advocacy, drafting legal pleadings, and giving expert legal opinions. 5 - Doesn't Seem Like She's Into ShowbizAside from dating George, Alamuddin reportedly isn't an actress or model like many of the women Clooney has dated in the past. His recent ex Stacy Keibler was a professional wrestler, actress and model. He was also married to "Touched by an Angel" star Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993.
Eternal bachelor George Clooney could finally be settling down — the actor is engaged to beautiful lawyer Amal Alamuddin, sources tell Page Six.Clooney has proposed to humanitarian lawyer Alamuddin after dating the British beauty for less than a year, we are told.Alamuddin, 36, was spotted showing off an engagement ring as she and Clooney, 52, dined at Nobu in Malibu on Thursday night with Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber.A source told Page Six, "George and Amal hoped keep the engagement quiet, but they can't hide the fact that they are very happy."When contacted on Friday night by Page Six, Clooney's rep Stan Rosenfield didn't confirm or deny the engagement, simply telling us, "I do not comment on his personal life."While actor and Syria activist Clooney has in the past dated models, waitresses and most recently wrestler Stacy Keibler, he appears to have met his match in accomplished Alamuddin.She studied at Oxford and the New York University School of Law, speaks three languages — French, Arabic and English — and has represented Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in his extradition proceedings with Sweden and is now an adviser to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the special envoy to Syria.After they were spotted leaving a dinner together in London in November 2013, Clooney initially denied he was dating Alamuddin, saying they were working together on a satellite program for Syria. But in February he took her to a screening of his movie "Monuments Men" at the White House, along with his parents, Nick and Nina Clooney.Then in March, Clooney and Alamuddin were pictured looking romantic together on a luxury safari vacation watching wildlife in Tanzania, before heading to the Seychelles.Clooney, who was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993, told Esquire in December that he wasn't suited to marriage. He said, "I haven't had aspirations in that way, ever. I was married in 1989. I wasn't very good at it. . . . I was quoted as saying I'll never get married again pretty much right after I got divorced and then I've never talked about it since."He added that while some people think it is strange he does not have children, but he is not in a rush to start a family. He said: "Should I go, 'I got to get me some kids right now!' and rush out and impregnate someone? Look, what I do know is that I was raised in a loving, happy family. I don't have any dislike or distrust of that."
George Clooney is not backing down from his war of words — over words — with Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn, who called him a "money-coddled" actor "living in a bubble" on Friday."He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I'm 'money coddled,' that I'm surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but 'yes' to him," Clooney said in a statement hours after Wynn made his own. "Emphatically. I did not attend a private boys' school, I worked in tobacco fields and in stock rooms, and construction sites. I've been broke more of my life than I have been successful, and I understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it is to make ends meet."The beef between the Hollywood star and the billionaire businessman stems from an argument over Clooney's "longtime friend" President Barack Obama that erupted during a dinner in Vegas last month.Clooney maintains Wynn called Obama "an bleep," which caused him to hurl the insult back and walk out of the room.Wynn told Stephanie Ruhle on Bloomberg's "Market Makers" that he did not direct the profanity toward the President, and said Clooney did not direct it back at him, either.Here's Clooney's full, and surprisingly long, response: "Steve Wynn and I have met three times, two times for dinner. That is the extent of our knowledge of one another, so I will refrain from trying to categorize him based on the little time we've spent together, but I will not let his version of the truth go unchallenged. He now says he didn't call the president an 'bleep.' That is false. He bellowed 'I voted for the bleep,' and then called him the same thing several more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end. Again there were eight people at the table, eight witnesses. I did in turn, call him the same body part, and walked out. Again he can make up whatever story he wants, but these are the facts. He said I drank 16 shots of tequila. I didn't drink one shot of tequila, not one. We were drinking but it was early and we still had two events to attend. He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I'm 'money coddled,' that I'm surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but 'yes' to him. Emphatically. I did not attend a private boys' school, I worked in tobacco fields and in stock rooms, and construction sites. I've been broke more of my life than I have been successful, and I understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it is to make ends meet. "Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with … or at least start with the fact that you can't make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses."

Sir Ian McKellen Reveals He Is Battling Prostate Cancer
Sir Ian McKellen revealed he has prostate cancer during an interview with UK's The Daily Mirror. The esteemed Oscar-nominated actor, best known to audiences as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, a role he'll revisit once again in the upcoming film The Hobbit, told the paper he has been battling prostate cancer for "six or seven years."
McKellen — who recently signed on to bring back another one of his beloved characters, Magneto, for the next X-Men film —admitted, "You do gulp when you hear the news. It's like when you go for an HIV test — you go 'Argh, is this the end of the road?' … When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate it's no big deal."
The 73-year-old, who realized something was wrong when he had to frequently use the bathroom, seems to have a positive outlook on his diagnosis, rather than look at it as a death sentence. "I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it and it went on the rampage. But at my age if it is diagnosed its not life threatening," he said.
The Hobbit star says he will do a "waitful watching" with his prostate cancer. "You are told what the situation is: you can have an operation but there is no point in me having an operation because there is no need for it," McKellen says. Instead, McKellen assures, "I am examined regularly and it's just contained, it's not spreading. I've not had any treatment." You can read his entire frank, open interview with The Daily Mirror here.
McKellen is expected to attend the UK premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this Wednesday, while the film opens in theaters in the U.S. on Friday.

Fatau Dauda's over a decade stint with the Miners will come to an end soon.
Fatau Dauda joined AshGold from Okwawu United in 2006 and has been guarding the post for the Miners since that time.
It was in between 2013 and 2014 that he played for Orlando Prates and Chippa United in the South African top-flight league, before rejoining AshGold last season to help them end their 19 years' trophy drought.
"I had a good season with them, I don't think I will sign another contract, I am working to move to Europe," he told Metro TV.
"I have been there for the past 14 years and I think I have paid my dues, I have to move, so I don't think I will be there next season.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Gwynnell Early Origins
Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where this distinguished family held a family seat, and were members of the aristocratic families of that region.
Gwynnell Spelling Variations
Gwynnell Spelling Variations
Changes of spelling have occurred in most surnames. The earliest explanation is that during the early development of the French language, names were not yet fixed in spelling. Usually a person gave his version of his name, phonetically, to a scribe, a priest, or a recorder. This depended on accent, and local accents frequently changed the spelling of a name. Some variables were adopted by different branches of the family name. Hence, there are some spelling variations of the name Gwynnell, including Quesnel, Quesnell, Quesnelle, Quesnoy, Quesnay, Quesne, Quesneau, du Quesnel, du Quesnell, Quennell, Quennel, Du Quesnoy, du Quesnay, du Quesne and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Approximately 110 years after the first landings by Cartier, there were only about 300 people in Quebec. France gave land incentives for 2,000 migrants during the next decade. Early marriage was desperately encouraged amongst the immigrants. The fur trade attracted migrants, both noble and commoner. 15,000 explorers left Montreal in the late 17th and 18th centuries. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec. Migration to New France (Quebec) continued from France until it fell in 1759. In the year 1675 the Acadian presence in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island had reached 500. In 1755, 10,000 French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England and were deported to Louisiana. The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada. The distinguished family name Gwynnell has made significant contributions to the culture, arts, sciences and religion of France and New France. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Gwynnell were Olivier Quesnel who settled at Duquesnel, Quebec, in 1676 from Normandy, and was later followed by Jacques Quesnel in 1676, also from Normandy; Magdalen Quesnell settled in Virginia in 1726..

Don't be lied to folks, size matters! If not, then why did Sihle Moyo(30) from Inyathi leave her husband of three months Mabutho Moyo(42)?
"I have a problem your worship. My husband has a small one and it becomes weak a few minutes after we start having sex. After that he falls asleep next to me," she bared her soul at Inyathi Civil court as she sought a protection order against her husband who had also become abusive.
She added that it all began when he slept with a married woman a month after the two tied the knot.
"The problem started in late September after he slept out for two days. When we tried to indulge he failed. I then questioned him and he openly told me that he suspects that he got fenced after sleeping with a married woman whose husband is in South Africa," she said.
In a bid to save their marriage they have been to herbalists but without luck. Now Sihle is sexually frustrated.
'How can I stay in such a marriage when I am sexually starved?" she asked magistrate Stephen Ndlovu.
But when "the failure to launch" husband Mabutho took to the stand, he blamed the issue on his wife.
"Although I told her that I got fenced by a married woman I slept with, I was told by a Sangoma that she (my wife) fenced me because she wanted to re-engage with her former lover," he said.
The presiding magistrate Stephen Ndlovu,granted Sihle an interim peace order. He instructed the couple to go for counseling and come back on 18 December.

Arivale Team
Vitamin D is produced by the body in response to sunlight exposure and is also found in certain foods—such as oily fish, egg yolks and fish liver oil—though in very small amounts. Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium and keep your bones strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with a negative impact on immune health, metabolic health and cognitive abilities.¹ Insufficient amounts of vitamin D are also linked to a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and depression.²
With this in mind, Vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies we've noticed among our early members.
Of just over 1,000 early members, only 28.6 percent of them had normal Vitamin D levels at their first blood draw. In other words, over 70 percent of our members' vitamin D levels were out of range.
There are a lot of factors that can play into deficient vitamin D levels. While it's easy to blame the fact that we spend a lot of time indoors and that we (wisely) use sunscreen when we are out in the sun, there are also several genetic variants that can impact your vitamin D levels.
At Arivale, we look at a variant of the Vitamin D Binding Protein gene (also known as the GC gene) to better understand your potential risk for Vitamin D deficiency. The VDR gene accounts for a significant amount of the entire genetic influence on vitamin D levels.
But we don't stop at your genes. At Arivale, we pair your genetic data with an actual blood measurement to understand how your genetic variants may be expressing themselves. Why do we look at both? Just because you have a genetic variant that could impact your Vitamin D levels does not mean you aren't getting adequate amounts through your exposure to sunlight and your diet.
When we see an out of range value, our coaches work with you to take action to improve your vitamin D levels through diet or supplements.
Now—going back to our members, though only 28.6 percent had in range vitamin D levels at their first blood draw, by their second blood draw, 49.9 percent of members were in range. By the members' third blood draw, 64.4 percent were in range.
What might this tell us? Though some things are out of our control—like our genetic makeup—we still can have a lot of control of our overall wellness through our lifestyle choices. The drastic shift in our members' vitamin D levels between blood draws supports this.
How to Help Avoid Deficiencies
Whether or not you're an Arivale Member, there are lifestyle changes that can help ensure you're getting enough vitamin D—especially during the darker months.
• Work to incorporate foods naturally high in Vitamin D into your diet—such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, egg yolks, cod liver oil, and milk / milk alternatives fortified with Vitamin D.
• Consider a supplement. When you're an Arivale Member, we always recommend you look at your genetic profile and biomarkers with your Arivale Coach to determine if a supplement is right for you. If you are choosing a supplement, our Coaches would recommend avoiding a vitamin D supplement in synthetic dl-form—instead, look for vitamin D3 – Cholecalciferol.
At Arivale, we believe that your genes are not your destiny. They're only one piece of the puzzle that determines your wellbeing. Through establishing healthy behaviors based on your body's data, you can forge your own unique, scientific path to wellness.

He Begged
There was a thick layer of dust on every surface. Draco coughed and sneezed uncontrollably as Snape forcefully pushed him onto the sofa, kicking up a rather large cloud of dust. His arm was most certainly bruised from where his Head of House had held him. He was still shaking, and it had nothing to do with the drafty, mysterious and disgustingly dirty house they were in. Snape had drawn a cloak over his face as they apparated away from Hogwarts and whispered many spells in a language he didn't recognize before they entered whatever house they were in. The next thing Draco knew, he was being pushed onto a sofa quite viciously. He watched the wizard before him pace back and forth, his expression blank, but his body language screaming pure, unadulterated, seething fury.
"Where are we?" Stupid question, Draco, stupid!
Snape paused in his pacing to throw a dangerous look at the teen, his anger reaching a whole new level as he rounded on the boy. "You foolish, arrogant, useless waste of oxygen! We are somewhere that no one is going to find us, although I should have just left you there to fend for yourself, but I couldn't. No, I made a Vow to your mother to keep you safe. Be sure, Draco; that Vow was the only reason I bothered helping you to run," he spat, uncaring as the boy flinched away and winced at his harsh words.
"I...I'm sorry I couldn't do it. I just panicked, seeing him so old and frail and helpless. I froze," Draco croaked, horrified when he realized he was very near tears. He'd always had a sort of special respect for the Potions Master, admiring his snarky attitude and effortless ability to make people tremble where they stood. Severus Snape was smoothly menacing in a way even Draco's father could not pull off so well. He didn't appreciate it so much right then.
"Helpless? You think Albus Dumbledore was helpless simply because you disarmed him? You are more ridiculously foolish than even I ever gave you credit for, Draco. He allowed you to think you'd bested him!" Snape knew he shouldn't be saying these things, that Draco wasn't actually that stupid, and he would put two and two together and figure it all out. It was a very good thing that he was quite adept at memory charms, then.
"He was trying to help you, Draco, but it was already too late. The second you accepted that assignment, that you took that Mark upon your arm, it was too late for you."
Draco was trembling quite badly now, so much that he had a hard time pushing up the sleeve of his robes to reveal a smooth expanse of skin on his left forearm. Even in the faint light of whatever house they were in, Draco's pale skin seemed to glow.
"It was temporary, charmed to fade away if I failed my mission. If I succeeded, it would become permanent. He'll know, Professor; He'll know I failed when he sees..." Draco said in earnest, rubbing at his unmarked skin distractedly. It wasn't that he wanted the Mark back because he wanted to be part of the Death Eaters; he wanted it because it was the only thing that could save his life now.
"Oh he already knows, Draco. The lack of Mark on your arm will not be what informs him that you have failed. Have you forgotten the people you allowed into the castle, the people you allowed to attack the place where your friends sleep and learn? The Dark Lord will most certainly already know every detail of what happened tonight," Snape assured the shaking teen, continuing his line of pacing on the dusty carpet in front of the threadbare sofa.
"I didn't know they were bringing Greyback, you have to believe me! I never would have let that thing into the castle if I had the choice. He's a monster!"
"And what does that make you, Draco, after letting that poor excuse for a being into the castle to maim and injure fellow students? What does that make me, the person who had to murder Dumbledore when you were too scared to do it yourself? We're all monsters in our own way, Draco. Even Dumbledore was guilty of that."
Draco drew in a shuddering breath, annoyed with the wetness on his cheeks. He smeared dust across his face as he wiped at the tears, but he didn't care anymore. He started to get angry himself, indignant that this was all being blamed on him.
"I didn't have a choice when it came to taking the mission, you know. He threatened to kill me and my mother if I didn't do this. What else was I supposed to do, Professor?"
Snape stopped his pacing once more, slightly unnerved by the desperate tone of the boy's plea. He was angry, so angry, but he couldn't help the sympathy he felt for the young Slytherin. After all, Draco was still just a child, and no child should have to be faced with their own mortality, let alone their mother's. He tried very hard not to think of Potter in the same manner just then.
"You should have come to me for help, or accepted the help I blatantly offered you all year long. I would have helped you, protected you, kept you from making all of those foolish mistakes! You tried to keep everything to yourself; for what, to make yourself look like a big man? Do you feel like a man now, Draco? Did that work for you? You're father would be so proud; you're just as much of a failure as he is," Snape hissed, gaining abnormal pleasure from the hurt and anger displayed on the teen's face as he struggled for some self control.
"Don't talk about my father like that! You have no right! You've been in Dumbledore's pocket for years, he trusted you. It should have been your mission to kill him, but I was chosen instead, as punishment for my father's mistake. You've had every chance to do away with Potter or to take him to the Dark Lord yourself! My father wouldn't have failed if you had done your job years ago!"
Snape lunged at the boy, placing a hand on either side of his head on the back of the sofa, startling Draco into a slight squeak of fear. "My job was to stay in Dumbledore's good graces, to make him trust me. I succeeded in my job years ago! If I had killed Potter or taken him to the Dark Lord, it might have tarnished my image in Dumbledore's eyes a bit, don't you think? Do not speak of things you have no understanding of! This is far bigger than any one person's mistakes. Do not blame me because your father is just as big a fool as you are."
Pushing himself as far into the cushions of the sofa as he possibly could, Draco gave in to his warring emotions, letting the tears stream unchecked down his cheeks. He raised his hands and pushed against his Professor's chest, but he didn't use any real force. "I'm sorry...please, I'm sorry..."
Snape moved away with a disgusted sneer, pushing away his guilt and sympathy for the boy as best he could. Casting around for something to take his mind off of the crying boy before him, Snape turned towards the hearth and grabbed a few old logs from beside the grate, tossing them in to make a fire. The house was overly chilly, given that it was spring time. He used his wand to light a fire, shifting the logs around to produce a warmer fire. When he turned back towards the sofa, he saw that Draco had cried himself into a fitful sleep, curled impossibly small against the dusty cushions.
Snape sighed as he felt all the tension go out of his shoulders. The boy looked so young, so innocent of all evils while he slept that it was hard to believe that he had killed for the boy less than six hours ago. He rubbed his hands over his face, turning towards the small bedroom off to the side of the dilapidated dining room. Opening a small linen closet, Snape pulled out an extra blanket, threadbare and dusty as the rest of the house. He walked back into the sitting room and threw the blanket over the sleeping boy, taking pity as he pulled out his wand and spelled away all of the dust. The last thing he needed was to take care of a boy suffering from dust inhalation while on the run.
The bedroom was dark and musty, the bed clothing slightly damp in the drafty conditions of the house. With a couple waves of his wand, the dust was gone and the sheets were dry enough to sleep comfortable enough on. He knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep, however; someone had to keep watch. Even with all of the protective wards surrounding their hideout, Snape did not trust that they would remain safe throughout the night.
"Severus, please..."
The air in the room seemed to drain away, making it hard for Snape to breathe. Rubbing his hands tiredly across his care-worn face, he tried again and again to get that pleading look of sorrow and resignation out of his head. He knew why he had to do it, and as little as he wanted to do it, he had accepted it. He'd told the Headmaster time and again that, even though he had Vowed to do this, he did not like it or even want to do it in the least. Snape never really looked too far into his reasons for accepting Dumbledore's request and making the Vow, but now that it was done, now that his mentor and friend was dead, he finally explored it in the dark, dank room.
Little as he thought of the arrogant boy, Snape knew that Harry Potter was the only chance of riding the Wizarding world of Voldemort and his ilk. Being the Head of Slytherin and a former Slytherin himself, most would assume that he wanted the Dark Lord gone for selfish reasons; to save himself. They were all completely wrong. Snape was almost positive that he would not survive the war, that his torn allegiances and espionage would get him killed most likely before he got to see the outcome of all his sacrifices and efforts to give Potter the chance to wipe out the mad man who had delegated his life for so long. No, Severus Snape had sacrificed his name and place amongst the Light and killed the only person he cared for because it needed to be done, and he owed it to people long passed to make sure Potter made it through alive and able to kill Voldemort.
That is, Snape had to make sure he got Harry in position to be slaughtered like cattle for the butcher. Despite all his harsh words and evident dislike, Snape did not think that the Potter boy deserved to die, and be lied to about it all. Dumbledore had filled the boy's head with nonsense about love being the power he needed to defeat the Dark Lord. It was all a bunch of bollocks. Potter needed to die in order for the Dark Lord to be defeated. Dumbledore would not explain exactly why, but Snape trusted him when he said it was imperative that the boy be killed in order for someone to kill Voldemort. What a sadistic bastard.
"For neither can live while the other survives..."
After all of those years only knowing half of the Prophecy, Snape had finally heard the other half only minutes after making the Unbreakable Vow to Dumbledore. What complete shite it sounded like now. Neither could live, period. If Potter lived, so did the Dark Lord. There was no way for the Dark Lord to die unless Potter was killed. Both dead, or both alive. There was no other alternative, and that the Headmaster had given the boy false hope, had lulled him into a sense of security that he could survive this war was beyond Snape's comprehension. How could he have a clear conscience after sentencing the boy to death, and then lying to him about it? There were just some things that he would never understand about Dumbledore, and now he really had no way to get any answers if he had wanted to seek them out.
His black wand was lying against his thigh, there for easy access in case he should need it in a hurry. Snape lifted the wand and pulled the wand he had confiscated from Draco out of his pocket, twirling it around in his palm.
"Priori Incantatem."
Snape had pointed Draco's wand at his own, knowing that because they had similar magical strengths, the boy's wand would work for him. A ghostly green light burst from his own black wand, and the blurry image of Dumbledore being hit with the spell and falling gracefully over the battlements played before his very eyes.
He watched the spell play over and over again, allowing himself to feel the pain he had blocked at the moment of his first murder. Oh yes; Severus Snape had never killed before then. He watched as a spell, so much easier to cast than he expected, snuffed out the life of such a great and influential man, despite that man's obvious flaws. He watched as he tore his soul in two, for the man who had saved him when he most needed it. Snape had returned the favour now. Dumbledore had saved him, so now he must save everyone else. Retribution, recompense; call it what you will, but Snape had paid for his mistakes.
"Deletrius Proprius." Using Draco's wand, Snape cleared the image of the last spell cast by his wand away. He had cleared it so that no one would be able to tell that it was his wand that had cast the spell, just like Dumbledore had instructed him to do.
"And what about my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?"
Snape flinched as he recalled his own shrill voice, trying and failing to bring his Occlumency shields back up to block it all out. He didn't want to sit here and relive it all. It was hard enough the first time; he couldn't possibly stand a second time. He took a deep breath and reminded himself that, in the scheme of things, this would all pay off. He hoped. He pleaded. He begged.
A/N: As I said before, it just feels incomplete to me. If I get enough reviews with ideas and tips on how to continue this, I just might! So please review and tell me what you think! Thanks for reading!

The "Instant Intel" series is designed to immediately respond to a team's victory by looking ahead to its next opponent.
Tennessee entered its Sweet 16 matchup against Ohio State with one goal: Make Evan Turner work for a full 40 minutes. The 6-foot-7 guard uses 34.3 percent of the Buckeyes' possessions (by far, the most on the squad), and both UC Santa Barbara and Georgia Tech had ideas for stopping him: either by hounding Turner with smaller guards the entire length of the court, or by using pressure defense to force the ball out of the junior's hands. But both of those plans worked to little avail.
So Tennessee opted to try a mixture of both strategies: Pressure Turner with Melvin Goins, Cameron Tatum and Josh Bone (all guards), then switch to the long arms of J.P. Prince and force Turner to give up the ball.
During the first half, however, UT's plan seemed shaky as the Buckeyes proved they weren't just Evan Turner and the Villainettes. Turner's backup band had names: William Buford had 12 points and Jeremie Simmons had 9 while the lead Villain -- Turner -- added 10. The Buckeyes shot 55.6 percent in the first 20 minutes and were already scheduling their Saturday workout.

1. Tell us about your latest book.
My latest book is Mabel's Way, a novel of suspense, fun, and I hope it reflects life in a Continuing Care Retirement Center.
2. How has your current lifestyle influenced your writing?
The setting in Mabel's Way is pretty much the same as where we live now. We have lived in a CCRC for nine years. Friends and neighbors begged me to write it. Finally I started keeping notes on funny or poignant scenes I saw here. Then I progressed to the next stage: what could happen here? I had great fun.
3. Why do you write novels?
I write novels because I can "lose" myself in them. Each of my characters becomes a friend. I have written non-fiction also but novels can be far more exciting.
4. Which of your characters haunts you the most? Why?
I don't believe any of my characters "haunts" me. I have had more comments about two of my characters, both in the same novel: Garnet – or Gram, and Pax. At one book reception, one of the ladies in the audience asked me: "If you ever find another Pax, will you save him for me?"
5. Where do your ideas come from?
I don't seem to have any problems with ideas. I do have trouble getting enough time to fully develop some. I guess I have always had a "wild imagination." At least my mother-in-law said I did. I develop my characters first, because to me, no book can succeed unless you have a character that readers can connect to.
6. Describe your writing process.
I usually start slowly—with a note book and pen. And I can do that anywhere. But I do a lot of thinking before I write much down. The "Thinking Stage" can last for months. If the novel requires a lot of research (example- The Master Craftsman), my next step is talk with experts and I usually enjoy this part of the novel the most. Often plotting ideas take shape as I research. When I am well into the manuscript, I speed up and spend more and more time at the computer. Near the end of the work, I become obsessed with the manuscript and neglect my husband a lot of the time. It's okay, he understands. I have been known to write most of the day and far into the night. The speed with which I write may explain the errors that I make.
7. What advice do you have for beginning writers?
The best advice I ever had was from a college professor who really directed me to become a writer. He said, "Write every day. Write about everything. Just write, write, write.
8. Who influenced you the most in your writing?
My father was a best selling writer for the Southern Baptist Convention. He encouraged me when I was little more than a child and writing for school papers. After I finished college and got married, I would go for years without writing and he would ask me quietly, "Are you doing any writing?" "No, Dad, I don't have time to write." "You must not give up your writing." He didn't live to see my novels.
9. How did you meet your husband? We love a romance.
I was working in the bookstore at Hardin Simmons University when a tall ex GI walked in, wearing his Ike jacket (died brown) from a South Pacific Tour of Duty. I looked up and my heart skipped a beat. I guess the marriage might last. We have been married nearly 62 years and are still very much in love. He is my strongest supporter and is especially helpful when I am doing research. Also, he can spell anything and saves me valuable time when I would be looking in the dictionary.
10. Tell us about where you live — we love to travel.
We live in the deep south, in the Raleigh, N. C. area. We grew up in the West—Richard in Texas and I was born and raised in New Mexico. We have done a lot of traveling and even lived in Venezuela, South America for two years. Because of health problems, our traveling (at least long distance) is probably over but we have delightful memories of Europe, Alaska and South America, plus cris-crossing the country many times.
11. How did you mess up your new book?
When I was writing it, residents here kept asking if they would be in it. "Of course," I said, "but you will not recognize yourself. Each person is a composite of many people." Several have bought the book and expressed disappointment because they were not in it, at least not that they could tell. I have held my breath when several bought it – because I thought their character was so clear that I might even hurt their feelings. It has become a sport here to try to identify the characters. I tell them it is not a biography, it is fiction. But, there is a nugget of truth in all the drama.
12. What's next in your writing life?
When I finished The Master Craftsman, I promised myself and my family that I was not going to write another book. But, I could not resist the pressure from friends here and "the man across the hall" who nagged me nearly every day to write Mabel's Way.
At this point I have no plans to tackle another novel. I am 82 and I think I have earned the right to retire! It has been a happy journey, but I am ready to do more reading and I want to do more watercoloring.

text: After suffering enough of the silent bug I am getting a replacement phone knowing well that it may also have the same issue... But I would like to ask: After I switch over (*228, right?), how do I erase the old phone before I send it back? For this I will have to turn back on the phone. Do I swap the battery back or can I do it using USB power sans battery? What is the best way to back up addresses, contact and calendar and will the associated contact mugshots show up in the new phone or I will have to reinstall them? Thanks for the advice. Peter

Statistics might not tell the whole story about how good No. 3 Ole Miss' defense has been this season.
But it's certainly a good place to start.
The Rebels (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) are giving up just 10.6 points per game this season, which leads the Football Bowl Subdivision. Their 15 interceptions are tied for the national lead. The group has a knack for big plays, too, scoring almost as many defensive touchdowns (four) as the six they've allowed.
And in their latest 34-3 victory over Tennessee, they held the Volunteers to zero net rushing yards.
Now Ole Miss will have another challenge on Saturday when it travels to face an improved No. 24 LSU (6-2, 2-2), which is coming off a dominant 41-3 victory over Kentucky.
"The last two weeks, (LSU has) gotten back to doing their bread and butter — that's physical (play), controlling the clock," Freeze said. "They're able to run the football with the outstanding backs that they have."
The Rebels will counter with a defense that's led by veteran coordinator Dave Wommack. It's a mix of upperclassmen and newcomers, speed and strength, and features plenty of depth on the defensive line and in the secondary.
Senior Senquez Golson leads the Southeastern Conference with seven interceptions, including two against Tennessee. Standout freshman Marquis Haynes leads the team with 6½ sacks.
But more than individual effort, players say it's a relentless group effort that doesn't rely on one specific player.
"I think they have a very good defensive coordinator doing a very good job," LSU coach Les Miles said. "I think there are talented guys in their secondary that anticipate the ball and can make plays. I just think the combination of scheme and players make a difference for them."
Ole Miss has several veterans on the defense, including sixth-year senior linebacker Deterrian Shackelford.
The 23-year-old was a promising young player for the Rebels in 2009 and 2010 before knee injuries completely wiped out his next two seasons.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said last year he wasn't sure if Shackelford would make much of a contribution when he returned because the injuries had been so severe. After a decent year in 2013, he's thriving again this fall, ranking fourth on the team with 34 tackles.
"He's a tremendous leader," Freeze said. "He's a grown man. He's a veteran. He's been around here and been through the ups and downs. He appreciates the things he has in this current season. He's a humble kid. Humility is a tremendous quality. Probably none of us have enough of it."
Junior defensive back Mike Hilton said it's sometimes hard to believe how far the team has come during Freeze's three seasons at Ole Miss.
"We knew it was going to take some time, but I'm not sure we ever thought it would take off like this," Hilton said. "But we've just got to stay humble."
Ole Miss has been so good on defense it's changed the team's offensive strategy. Instead of Freeze's usual speed-it-up tempo, the Rebels are more deliberate and less likely to take chances.
"The big thing for me is I'm not trying to mess it up," Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace said. "I'm going in and trying to not have any turnovers. The defense is playing well. If we punt it past the 50-yard line, they're probably not going to get points. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable."

Hello trainers! We can now say that we are definitely more confident of a Christmas event. Information from data mining Pokemon GO code comes from TheSilphRoad and Fevgames, suggesting that an event may be imminent.
The following snippets indicate that a, yet unannounced event, is highly likely –
A metadata attribute named 'HasHolidayItems' appears in the code in relation to the shop.
Gift Box Icons
Gift graphic assets have been added in this version:
Not much has been added code-wise related to these, but their filenames are tiered from Bronze to Gold and then with Special/Great/Ultra variants.
Shop Button Icon
This one looks like a holiday variant to the normal shop icon, that will probably be present only for the festive period. Alternately it could be an additional button for the holiday gift items.
None of these were mentioned in Niantic's official game update, but experience from previous events suggests that we can be fairly certain of something special happening in the next few days.
