Introduction: TRX Clone From 4mm Cord and Broom Handle
But a genuine TRX costs about $250 :(
For the rest of us, there is DIY :)
There are a number of TRX clone instructables out there, but mine is the best one. I mean, this one can be assembled the quickest, and it is one of the cheapest: 20 minutes and $10
But if you wanted to see those other ones anyway, here are some links:
- This guy hangs some straps from a beam in the ceiling. Clever, and good rings, but not as universal as the TRX https://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Gymnastic-Rings/
- This instructable mentions some nice knots, and the same book I got my ideas from, Ashley's, but the instructions for the actual TRX seem to be missing https://www.instructables.com/id/TRX-from-Parachord-Challenge-Accepted/
- I don't think this guy's setup is safe (ie the beaners at 250lbs), and that bungee thing costs money. https://www.instructables.com/id/TRX-Suspension-System-for-Less-Than-25-Bucks/
- This guy uses chains instead of straps. Too industrial for me, and the weight of them will get annoying. I also don't see how to adjust it quickly, which is key. https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Chains-Suspension-Exercise-Device/
- These ones all use straps and hardware. This costs money and it is not necessary. Climbing rope is fine. https://www.instructables.com/id/Suspension-Training-System-TRX-Clone-Yes-anoth/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Adjustable-TRX-style-Suspension-Work-Out-System-/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Suspension-Device-for-1256/https://www.instructables.com/id/Home-Made-TRX-bodyweight-suspended-training-syste/
Here is the Disclaimer: Small errors on your part may cause the knots in your contraption to fail. I have done my best to explain them, but if you hurt yourself with your homemade TRX, I am not liable for damages, even if you think you followed my instructions perfectly. By following these instructions, you agree to take full responsibility for the consequences of building this contraption.
Let's get started!
Step 1: Materials
- 10m of 4mm climbing accessory cord ($8), with a synthetic core.
- 2 pieces of broom handle or dowel for the hand holds
- (optional) 1 stainless steel ring, chain link, or climbing carabiner
Optionally, file a grove around each end of the handles. I think the constrictor knot that we use later works best if the grove is all the way around, and not just a dent in one side.
The ring reduces wear on the rope, but it is not necessary if you just want to try this out.
Step 2: Constricter Knot the Handles
Use the 2.1m rope for this step.
The Constrictor Knot is very easy to tie (for other instructions go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrictor_knot).
I did not check what happens if you don't do this, but I recommend you tie the two Constrictor knots in opposite directions. i.e. one starts as a normal "S" and the other starts as a backwards "S". if you do this right, the two constrictor knots will mirror each other.
Look at the pictures!
Step 3: Finish the Handle With a Bowline!
The Bowline is the most important knot anyone can know. Do it exactly as shown. (more on the bowline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowline)
You can hang a truck off a bowline, and then untie the knot with your hands afterwards (provided the rope does not break!).
Adjust everything so it's nice and even, and you have about 6-10cm of rope protruding from your bowline.
You are done with the first handle! Repeat this for the 4.3m rope.
Step 4: Assembly
If you are using the optional ring, pass the longer rope through it twice, and bring the ring near to the handle, as shown.
Use a Sheet Bend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_bend) to create the main adjustment of your TRX. DO IT EXACTLY AS SHOWN AND GET TO KNOW THIS KNOT. (guess what, it's pretty much the same as the Bowline)
The shorter, 2.1m rope makes the loop of the sheet bend, while the longer, 4.3m rope makes the "U" turn. Leave about 6-10cm of the shorter rope, protruding from the loop.
Step 5: Hang It Up and Test It!
I made a short video to demonstrate that it works, but youtube TRX (click), and you will get loads of stuff. I will show some of the exercises from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmhI_8wlm8I

Hmm. I am a complete beginner and came to your instructable since it used sports rope instead of bulky straps, ect. I bought the climbing rope, made my handles from dowels. Hoovered over YouTube to visually watch people tying the knots. I am stuck at the end of your instructable with no clue as to how to tie it up to try it. I will sift through the links you posted of other instructables to see if they spell it out clearer. I will check back in case you have further advice.
The wikipedia articles I linked to tend to have nice step by step instructions. I didn't want to make new instructions for the knots because there are good ones out there already. For example this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrictor_knot
I still use this contraption regularly!
I ended up finding the hitch knot page on Wikipedia. Didn't use it much last night since it was close to bedtime, but did some push-ups and pull-ups on it. We have it hanging from a pull-up bar in our hallway that was given to is for our child to hang from. Since children grow fast I wasn't keen on adjusting it to her height so thus began my journey to find a way to allow her to hang safely and have it be adjustable. With a bonus that we could use it too!
Lastly I didn't use the 3 m length rope to tie up and just tied te tail from the 4 m rope. Again, it's from a pull-up bar in our doorway, so not tall at all. Would you advise against this? I do recall from your video you had long tails too…
Nice work Alejandro - I might just have to rig this up... though I will have to get the 5 or 6 mm rope :)
Yeah! (nice to hear from you :) ). That reminds me, I think I'll do some TRXing this morning when my fiancée wakes up.
Where does one buy this 4mm climbing accessory cord?
Great question. I buy mine at Mountain Equipment Co-op, which is in Canada. Any outdoor store that sells climbing stuff will have 4mm cord. You might even try a hardware store, but be careful. There is lots of rope that is not meant for this kind of load. In general, get rope that comes off a large spool at the store, and has a strength rating that is 3 or 4 times your body weight.

Matt Stuller's Daughter Writes Heart-Warming Blog About 'Growing Up Stuller'
Matt Stuller's daughter, Alex, wrote a heart-warming blog about "Growing Up Stuller", and it's very touching.
Matt is the Owner/CEO/President/King of Stuller Settings, the global jewelry manufacturer based here in Lafayette (okay, so I don't know his official title, but he is the top guy). I always wondered what it would be like to be Matt, and then when I started working at Stuller years back, I realized that he is just like us: a man with a family, bills, joys, problems - a regular guy with a regular life.
Looking back, I now understand that he wasn't arguing with me – he was challenging me. That's an important difference. - Alex Stuller
Alex's blog shows the human side of Matt Stuller, giving us a bit of insight on his family life. In the blog, Matt's daughter fondly recalls the discussions she's had with him. She touches on how he instilled in her a good work ethic, a sense of pride, and the importance of giving back.
It's a nice read.

UPDATE from the blog-tech
As usual, mu.nu is under a barrage of comment spam. It's great thing they've done, offering a space to all the Cotillionettes, and the blog-marm took up the offer in earnest. But, like I said, mu.nu is under another of the frequent spam-barrages.
In an effort to curtail any mentions of said spam sites, I've taken the liberty of doing the only thing I have at my disposal on mu.nu to get the spam out of the comments from well over 1,000 entries: I removed the comment entry form. It's gone, but the comments aren't.
So, until Porche returns from her blogging-break, you won't have any way to leave a comment on the site. Thanks for your patience.Posted by Macabee at January 15, 2007 11:36 AM | TrackBack

Every few months I get this urge to design a game. I've decided that I have waaaaay too many projects going on right now to start something big like designing a board game, so I just did what I always do: type up all of my thoughts into OneNote in my "board game ideas" section. Someday when I feel like I actually have time to dedicate to creating something new I'll read through those notes and hopefully make a much better game because of it.
(And besides, it's unfair to the world to have spent so many resources producing a genius of this magnitude, and then have him not be able to focus on his game because he's working on too many things at once...)

FTEs per 1,000
Rock Hill Ranks 5th in FTEs per 1,000
Rock Hill has 10.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) per 1,000 residents, which makes Rock Hill rank 5th lowest out of the 18 jurisdictions in the comparison group. The comparison group's average is 13 FTEs per 1,000 residents. With 8.1 FTEs per 1,000, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina has the fewest FTEs and with 19.7 FTEs per 1,000, Abbeville, South Carolina has the most.
It should be noted that these jurisdictions vary in the services they provide and consequently staffing needs may vary. Some jurisdictions, like Rock Hill, provide water, sewer and electric services while other jurisdictions do not provide these services.

This week's writing prompt for #52ancestors is cemetery. One of my favorite visits to a cemetery was my 2003 visit to the Bethel Cemetery in Erath County, Texas. This was not because I found a lot of family in the cemetery. William W. Noah is the only one. But, because my grandmother grew up in the very small community of Bethel. The Hairstons, Noahs, and Thompsons left Falls County to live in Bethel in about 1883. Phillip A. Hairston, my great-grandfather, and his sisters, Permelia Hairston Noah and Mattie Hairston Chisum Thompson, all settled in the Bethel School Community. This community no longer exists, but seeing the landscape and the surrounding areas added a little more to my family history.

In this English pronunciation lesson, I'm going to show you how to pronounce some difficult words. These words are often pronounced incorrectly and are common mistakes that many English students make. This is because the combination of sounds is difficult, or because there are silent letters and syllables.
I've chosen these words because they are common words and they are words that are often pronounced incorrectly by English learners.
These words are:
– vegetable
– comfortable
– almond and salmon
– et cetera (etc.)
– clothes
– jewellery
– architecture
– enthusiastic
– word, world & work
– photograph
Please note that the pronunciation of some of these words differs between English accents. I speak with an Australian English accent ?
Let's fix these pronunciation mistakes together so that you can speak English more clearly and confidently!

Here's another version:
Cybernetic Hand #2 (1989), ink on paper.
This was done in 1989, even earlier than the 1990 piece. It may seem complicated but the key is in the details. Basically, once the main bolts/ screws/ screwplates were drawn for where the main joints would be, the rest of the drawing was a matter of improvising where the cables and connectors went to. This will be my submission #6 (after #5).

As I read Israel's justification for only naming Jewish holy sites, black seats at the back of the bus came to mind. America's favored democratic ally in the Middle East discriminates based on race in housing and employment according to a Bush State Department assessment. The recent naming of an Arab to the Israeli cabinet was vilified by avowed racist Avidgor Lieberman, a fellow cabinet member.
The Jewish state will defend itself with Southern "separate but equal" language as it sits before a United Nations anti-racism panel. How will the U.S. weigh in when our own State Department had this to say in Bush's second year in office?
The overwhelming majority of non-Jewish citizens are Muslims, Druze, and Christians. Of this group, most are Arabs, and are subject to various forms of discrimination, some of which have religious dimensions.
The Government has recognized only Jewish holy places under the 1967 Protection of Holy Sites Law.
…the Government does not provide Israeli Arabs, who constitute approximately 20 percent of the population, with the same quality of education, housing, employment, and social services as Jews. On a per capita basis, the Government spends two-thirds as much for Arabs as for Jews. Although such policies are based on a variety of factors, they reflect de facto discrimination against the country's non-Jewish citizens.
Israeli Arab groups allege that many employers use the prerequisite of military service to avoid hiring non-Jews, including for jobs that are unrelated to national security.
The U.S. Embassy consistently raised issues of religious freedom with the Foreign Ministry, the police, the Prime Minister's office, and the Ministry of the Interior.
Separate but equal? The South used that and the Bible to justify segregation and discrimination. Our Jewish ally plays a similar game to its own discredit.
How does Condi Rice visit her home state of Alabama to speak of courageous leaders who challenged Jim Crow and remain silent on these issues during visits to Israel? Most who rose up against Southern prejudice weren't elected government leaders. The common folks got tired of it and stood up nonviolently. Will that ever happen in Israel? God willing…

Design Ideas for Your Picture Rail System
Perhaps you arrived at Mbs because you know exactly what you need, and you've heard tell of our innovative gallery hanging systems, our years of experience in the sign and picture mounting business, our unbeatable rates, and our stellar customer service practices. Or, maybe you stumbled upon our picture rail systems by accident and simply thought to yourself – what a great idea! Either way, you may need ideas on how to best utilize your fun, easy new art hanging system.
Thanks to the incredible flexibility of all of our systems – including the easy rail, ceiling rail, and classic rail – the options for hanging your artwork are virtually endless. You can create any look you want, and then easily change it up the minute the whim strikes you. Let's take a look at some fun and distinctive arrangements for your picture hanging system.
Nature in Balance:
With our easy rail you can easily hang several smaller pieces, say, two or three on each side, with a larger piece in the center. Use three cables – one for the main centerpiece, and one on each side for smaller pieces, mounted vertically and in alignment with each other, evenly spaced so that the top edge of the top pieces are just above the larger center picture, and the lower edges of the bottom pieces are just below it. Drawing upon a changing seasons theme or various elements of nature will create a colorful visage that touches the soul and evokes memories.
Simplicity Rules
If you've got a long, narrow room, or a hallway that's suffering from barren walls, use our easy or classic rail to hang a series of small black and white photographs, either in frames all of equal size, or alternating larger then smaller. Nylon cables are capable of holding this small artwork (up to 15 pounds each) and are nearly invisible, giving the illusion that the pictures are floating.
Family "Tree"
Mount a large photo of mom and dad or grandma and grandpa in the center of a ceiling hung rail, perhaps over the sofa, then mount photos of your children and/or grandchildren at varying heights from other points in the rail. Do not align the surrounding pictures horizontally – this will create the random look meant to mimic the leaves of a tree.
Your imagination is the only limit to the possibilities for your picture hanging system. Build your system and get creative!


text: Well here she is. This morning Chris and I drove to Murcia to collect Destino, who is now two months old and ready to leave her mum. She is the funniest little thing, as light as a feather, and mostly fluff! She is everything that Paco isn't - short and round with short, stocky legs, little ears and a big round face. I had to include this funny picture of her. She is sitting on my lap and I just caught her on camera looking quite wild. Introducing her to Paco was not a huge success. Although she is only a few days younger than him, he is quite a bit bigger and she is more of a baby (Persians are slow developers. That's why she had to stay with her mum for longer than usual). She will almost certainly be bigger than him in the end. Paco thinks she is just another toy and he plays too rough. She can be surprisingly feisty and it was Destino who did the growling, but although she returned blow for blow, Paco has much longer legs so it was his 'punches' that found their mark. He would have made mincemeat of her, so we have had to separate them, one with me and one with Chris today, and we swap over every now and then so they get to be comfortable with both of us. Each day I will put them together for a bit longer and they'll soon learn to get along. When she is a bit bigger I think Destino will be more than able to stick up for herself. We have to wait for her pedigree forms to come through the post but I think her father was called Bad Morang, and she looks like him. She is going to need a lot of grooming so I will try to brush her every day so she gets used to it from the start.It has been very windy today, almost too windy to sit outside though I did manage an hour after lunch. It was my turn to have Paco and he was quite scared when leaves, papers and my wind chimes started blowing around. But it was still warm with just a few clouds. The setting sun reflected off them and gave us a pretty sunset. We haven't had many good skies since we moved off the coast so I'll put this one in. It's a pity about the cable across it, but you can't get away from them out here. I thought the clouds looked a bit like a map of UK. There is also an almost full moon tonight which I managed to catch on camera as it was rising, with the 'misty mountains' behind it. It was taken at 9.00 tonight, just as it was getting dark. I have just been out to take another one. The light from my window is just catching on the orleander in the foreground.

We celebrated Easter a bit early! Mom fail here, I don't normally celebrate Easter. I skip quite a few holidays, Easter, Halloween (normally), Valentines Day, etc. Basically it's birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's about it. This year, though, we did it! I rented a bounce house, had my mom, niece and great nieces over, and we went all out. We decorated cookies, decorated cupcakes, hunted eggs and wore everyone out by 4 p.m. It was glorious.
I have begun working on Book 9, so fear not! You'll be back with the kids in no time! Or at least by May. I've got a big family vacation in May, so my goal is to have book 9 done and published before we leave. I've got a good outline going, some great plot twists, and a FANTASTIC ending to the book, which should lead into an awesome book 10, and the end of this part of the adventure.
Speaking of endings, my 10 year old is not on board with me ending the series at all. To him, it should be like Lamb Chop and "the song that never ends". I can't do that. I really do want to end it, and not entirely because I'm sick of putting pictures in books. Truly, I'm no artist, that part is the WORST for me!
That said, I can see doing a spin off, there are quite a few people you haven't met yet, heck, I haven't even met them yet, but they are important, and you'll learn more about that in book 10. So, while this part of things will wrap up nicely, there might be more to come, sort of a "World of The World Keepers" kind of way, if that makes sense.
I'll keep you posted! Have a Happy Easter!
Book 8 - Published!
Book 8 is here! This was a tough one for me to write, the beginning of the end, if that makes sense. It's the book where the kids have to make a choice, stay here where they are safe (for now), or join the game as players, no special abilities, bound by the constraints of every other person playing the same game. They've got some big things to do, if they have the courage to do them. I hope you enjoy the story! The links are below:
Just a few more days - Book 8!
Book 8 is almost completely done! I finished writing and editing on Wednesday, but there's more to be done. I took the kids to the zoo yesterday and didn't get anything done as far as adding pictures, so that's on the agenda today. If the boys cooperate, I REALLY think I can get it finished by this evening and published so that it'll be available for you tomorrow! I'll post again when it's ready on Amazon. Keep your eyes peeled for this cover!
Book 8 Update - and an excerpt
Going on vacation in the middle of a book is kind of tough. I don't know about other authors, but for me, I get into a sort of "groove" with the story. It might be just one chapter that doesn't give me any issue, or it might be me sitting down in front of my computer and writing a half dozen chapters in one fell swoop. When I take a break in the middle of that, I have to come back, read what I've written, and get back into it all over again. That's what I had to do when we got back from Disney. Don't worry, it's happening! I wrote a chapter on Friday and a chapter on Saturday, which puts me at the halfway point. My goal is a chapter per day, minimum, and I've got another 8 to go (I think, it might be more). We're still looking at an end of March, beginning of April release, but I feel pretty confident about that, even with having to format, edit, and add pictures.
In the meantime, here's an excerpt! I hope you love it!
Jed is dying.
I knew it from the moment I looked at his face when I went in his room to wake him up this morning. I knew it even before my dad told me about the phone calls, before he told me about the promises he made all those years ago.
It doesn't matter, though, because I didn't know it in time.
If only I'd thought of it last night, maybe things would be different. Maybe our hands wouldn't be tied. Maybe our decision would actually be a decision instead of a countdown to the moment when we have to what we're going to have to do, no matter what.
I've never really thought about the saying "hindsight is 20/20", but I'm definitely thinking about it now.
It doesn't matter. It's already too late.
More later!
Number one son and I are back home! I've got a fantastic sunburn on my lips, of all places, but we had a fabulous time!! The last time I took him to Disney, he hated it, refused to ride anything more than once, and said: "I'd rather be tased than go back." That's a direct quote. When I found some dirt cheap airfare to Orlando, I gave him another chance, and he decided to give it another shot. He's 2.5 years older now, so I was hopeful he'd be feeling a little more adventurous. Good news, he was! The thrill rides were ridden, again, and again, and again. I think he designed six different cars on Test Track, and I created none, which seems mightily unfair since he didn't put in any money for this little trip.
Anyhow, it was awesome! Now that we're back, I'll get to work on Book 8 of The World Keepers. I'm already done with Part 1, which means I'm a third of the way through. I have high hopes for an end of March, beginning of April release date. I'll keep you posted!
Here's a funny story. We took an Uber to the Magic Kingdom one morning because the line at the bus was crazy long and it was already crazy warm, even for a Florida February. The man driving the car immediately launched into telling us about how he's an author, it's his passion, and he often gets character ideas based on the people he drives around. He has a book that he's trying to promote, so he handed his phone back to me and told me to scroll through the pictures, so I'd know what his book looked like, etc. Then he told me about his first book signing and how it was hosted at a restaurant owned by Puff Daddy (the book signing happened before he became P. Diddy, so the driver told me). Apparently, his mother (the driver's, not Puff Daddy's) wasn't super keen on him being an author, so she was shocked that he was having a book signing. He said when he told her, she said something like "Did you set it up yourself, did you self-publish?" in a manner that suggested self-publishing is a bad thing. It was pretty clear he thought self-publishers were a lower class of author, and that made me laugh.
What a great time and place we live in. If you've got a dream, you can make it happen. If you want to be a YouTuber (like my 10-year-old son aspires to be), all you've got to do is keep at it. If you've got a great idea for a book, you can write it. We live in the BEST TIME EVER! No one else gets to decide whether or not your thoughts are worthy. Put it out there, the viewers/readers/listeners will let you know. What you don't need is a vast industry telling you whether or not your stuff is good enough, and that is completely awesome.
Self-publish, I promise, someone wants to read the twisting path of wonder happening in your brain.

http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blog…A former Marine is suing a Harley-Davidson dealership in Orange County, Calif., for allegedly taking advantage of his post-traumatic stress disorder to sell him an expensive bike.
Brett Smith, 25, filed a lawsuit against the Irvine dealership over a sale in early April. Smith's family tried to return the $17,000 bike two days after he bought it because he said he had made the purchase after five days of insomnia and wasn't thinking straight, according to court papers.
Smith was a member of the Special Forces deployed in Afghanistan and was discharged in 2010 after which he was diagnosed with PTSD and traumatic brain injury, said his attorney, Daniel Gilleon.
The sale in April happened after Smith had suffered from five sleepless nights due to his disorder, Gilleon told ABC News today.
"That day is very much a dream-like recollection to him," said Gilleon. "He wasn't completely aware of what he was doing."
Smith, who is unemployed, entered the Harley-Davidson dealership on a whim to buy a motorcycle, according to the lawsuit filed on Oct. 30. While there, he told the employees that he had PTSD, while pacing, sweating profusely and acting jittery.
"At one point, the salesperson even gave him water so that he could take his Xanax," said Gilleon. "He took three while he was there."
Smith told the salespeople that he would be driving straight from the dealership to Georgia, despite the fact that he did not have a motorcycle license, according to the lawsuit.
He left the dealership with a Harley.
After driving home on his new motorcycle, Smith decided to go to Georgia the next day, again without sleeping, court papers show. He packed a backpack full of fruit, clothes and a PlayStation, driving 40 miles before he realized he had no money and returned home, the lawsuit states. He checked into a hospital that night.
Smith decided to sue the dealership for unfair business practices after it refused to take the Harley back, even when Smith's family tried to explain his mental state, his attorney said.
"They just blew it off," said Gilleon. "Harley-Davidson touts itself as an all-American, patriotic company, but patriotic is as patriotic does. They exploited his mental condition because they were trying to make a sale. They got one, but they also got a lawsuit in addition to that."
The Harley-Davidson dealership declined to comment on the case when reached by ABC News.

Lie to Me's Tim Roth says his colleagues on the new Fox drama sometimes talk about The Mentalist, the CBS hit to which it's already drawn comparisons. But he's says he's not worried.
"I haven't seen the show. I haven't seen The Mentalist," Roth told TVGuide.com. "I think the proof is in the pudding. ... We are what we are."
Roth plays Cal Lightman, a master of reading people's faces and body language to tell whether they're lying. The Mentalist stars Simon Baker as an investigator whose ability to read people is so powerful he seems capable of reading minds.
But Lie to Me executive producer Brian Grazer says what separates the shows is science.
"I'm not really interested in The Mentalist's process," Grazer said. "I mean it might be good — I mean I think it is good, it's doing really well — (but) I'm actually interested in whether people are telling the truth."
Lie to Me, which debuts Jan. 21 at 9 pm/ET, is based on the work of Paul Ekman, who has studied lie-detection techniques for more than 50 years. Roth's character uses the techniques to solve a wide range of mysteries: political plots, murders, and even — in the third episode — whether a man's fiancé loves him or his money.
"The show is based on real science, the most cutting-edge research that's used by our federal agencies in national security," executive producer Samuel Baum said. "One week we're going to be a thriller where there's a political assassination and the next week there's a terrible building collapse and people are lying about it and pointing fingers as to what happened. Some weeks there won't even be a crime."
At a news conference with the show's creative team and stars — who also include Kelli Williams and Brendan Hines — Ekman described some of the subtle signals people send without realizing it. Barack Obama, for example, sometimes touched his head with his middle finger to express irritation toward Hilary Clinton and John McCain.
"If you were on-set yesterday, you would have seen Kelli Williams do that to me twice," Hines said.
Baum, the director, says he's also picked up a few lie-detection techniques — but he has to see people face-to-face to use them.
"My agents won't deal with me except on the phone," Baum said. "They say they can't do their job if they can't lie."

competition committee, says "it came up for bri
July 11, 2018, 01:56:42 am »
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. doesnt see any reason to lament his lot in life right now. Despite dealing with a torn left ACL that sidelined him for the Super Bowl and probably cost him $1 million in salary next season, the Denver Broncos most versatile cornerback was thrilled to sign his one-year restricted free-agent tender Tuesday. It will pay him $2,187,000 next season — or more than 1,000 times the $2,000 signing bonus he received four years ago as an undrafted college free agent. "Ill take it," Harris told The Associated Press. "Im definitely happy with it. Im excited to go back out there, get back healthy and lead this team back to the Super Bowl." Had Harris not gotten hurt in the playoffs, the Broncos would have probably had to use the highest tender on him — a one-year deal worth more than $3.1 million that carried a first-round pick as compensation. Instead, they were able to use the second-highest tender available. With the Broncos able to match any offers, no suitors came calling for Harris, whos been rehabbing at the Broncos facilities since shortly after undergoing surgery in February following Denvers loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl. "Teams were not going to give up a second-round pick. We realized that," Harris said. "We know that next year is a big year for me." Harris ligament in his left knee wasnt completely torn when he got hurt against San Diego in the playoffs and he and the Broncos are optimistic hell be ready by the start of training camp in July and will resume his role as a leader on Denvers defence. If that happens, the Broncos are expected to work toward a longer-term deal for Harris after next season when he hits unrestricted free agency. "I definitely think Ill be close to 100 per cent by the start of training camp," Harris said. "You never know with this type of injury, but the ligament wasnt completely torn and right now Im feeling great. The treatment is going great and Im improving each week." Harris is coming off a monster year in which he posted 65 tackles, 58 of them solo, three interceptions and 14 pass breakups while allowing the fifth-fewest yards receiving (25 a game) and tying for the eighth-fewest completions allowed (35) in the NFL among players targeted at least 60 times. His emergence and versatility playing both the slot and on the outside helped the Broncos decide to bid farewell to star Champ Bailey this off-season after he played sparingly last year. Then, the signing of fellow University of Kansas alum Aqib Talib led to the departure of free agent Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. "Champ and I always talked and we kind of understood this would probably happen. We werent surprised" by Baileys exit, Harris said. "Losing Champ, I feel I can take over his role on the field and also I can take over his leadership role. If you look at it, I was the starting corner pretty much the whole season last year. "You see my production and you see Talib, me and him have played together before, so were familiar with each other communication-wise, chemistry-wise, and thats a big thing." Harris was a freshman at Kansas in 2007 when Talib was an All-American his junior year before being drafted in the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that following spring. "Weve always been pretty tight. And friends always joke around saying, What if you and Talib play together now?" Harris said. "Now, its kind of crazy. I was just a freshman. I was young and still learning the game. Now, Im in my fourth season in the NFL and with all Aqibs experience, weve got a pretty solid duo. Its going to be great." ___ AP NFL website:

. Marie rink got back in the win column at the Olympic mens curling tournament with a 7-4 win over the host Russian squad on Wednesday.Roger Goodell doesnt want to stand pat with the PAT. Hes suggesting potential changes in the extra point that, well, might have some legs. The NFL commissioner says the extra point kick after touchdowns, which had a success rate of nearly 100 per cent, is too automatic. Sure is. And with few teams attempting 2-point conversion plays until desperation hits late in games, the old 1-pointer from 20 yards is the way coaches go. All that does is draw yawns. So Goodell wonders if the league can add excitement by making some major adjustments to the extra point, suggesting perhaps making a touchdown worth seven points instead of six, with teams having the option to run a play for another point. But failing on that play would cost them a point. Gimmicky, for sure. But if Goodell likes the idea ... A look at how changes to the extra point would affect football: HOW AND WHO? Passing any changes to the playing rules in the NFL is, unlike the extra point kick, no snap. The competition committee meets with the players union at the NFL combine in February, where any new proposals or ideas are discussed. Its not unusual for the players to have input in potential adjustments, as they did recently on defenceless player penalties. The powerful committee, chaired by Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, meets for about a week in early March and comes up with any proposals, whether from the teams or union or, yes, the big boss. At the league meetings later in March, the committee presents potential changes for discussion by all 32 owners, who can either vote on them or table them. McKay said Tuesday: "We do anticipate the topic being discussed." KICKING AROUND? The idea of toying with the extra point is not entirely new. John Mara, owner of the New York Giants and among the most influential members of the competition committee, says "it came up for brief discussion in past meetings, but no action was taken." It took the NFL years to come around on the 2-point conversion, which can be a pass or run play from the 2-yard line -- and under Goodells apparent preference, could be worth one point if the kick is eliminated. The 2-pointer existed in the old AFL from 1960-69, and college football has had it since 1958. But it was defeated several times in NFL owners votes before it passed in 1994 as part of a package of changes to help the offences.dddddddddddd YEA AND NAY Coaches will hate any changes, particularly ones that would mean more decisions for them to make. They so rarely go for the 2-pointers until the fourth quarter, and are reluctant to do so then because, well, theres nothing automatic about those attempts. Indeed, less than half (33 of 69) worked in 2013. "I will say this: Since 2000, I believe, over 99 per cent of the extra points are made," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "Its almost a given that it is going to be made. Im sure that the competition committee will address it. As a coach you have to play how the rules are." Short-yardage backs such as All-Pro fullback Mike Tolbert of Carolina shouldnt mind the elimination of PAT kicks. Nor should running quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and Cam Newton, whose improvisational skills would be a huge advantage. Kickers? They probably will shrug and practice their field goals -- which is what they normally do regarding extra points anyway. WHO STAYS, AND WHY Rosters would get slight revamping, with teams likely keeping at least one power back active every week and having two on the roster. Often, those guys also play on special teams, so their presence wouldnt throw a lineup out of whack. PRACTICE WONT MAKE PERFECT Teams would work even more on their short-yardage packages, beginning in training camp. They would use their PAT offences in other situations on the field in games, too. While going for a fourth-and-2 near midfield is less rare than it once was, it might become all the more common when coaches know the more times they attempt such plays, the more seasoned their players will be when trying for the extra points. WILL IT HAPPEN? Its impossible to gauge the owners thinking, and a three-quarters majority is needed to pass any rules changes. "I know a lot of times when were at owner meetings, those things are brought up, and its great when youre in those meetings because you hear all the different opinions that are brought up with that," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. "Im sure there will be discussions about that. Im excited about hearing all those." Goodell doesnt get a vote. Then again, it sounds like he already has cast his.

…co-starring her pet duck, Randolph
The Gaming Is Afoot!
The past few months have seen me hit something of an all high mark in my gaming life. Not since the mid 1980s have I been doing so much roleplaying and boardgaming on a weekly basis.
Now, to be sure, I am still a long way from the 14-16 hours a week I did back then. Those were the days when my four players and I would do a 4 hour session on Wednesday nights and a 10-12 hour session all day on Saturdays. We were all around 27 years old and it was hella fun, but now, at 65, I am pretty sure that exact situation would kill me :)
Now, I play in a D&D group twice a month, 4 hours per session, usually on Sunday evenings. We just celebrated our 4th year together.
On alternate weeks, I run a D&D game for 5 players on Saturday afternoons, again, for 4 hours per session. We have been getting together for just shy of 2 years.
And then, adding to the gaming goodness, is the fact that I run both RPGs and boardgames at various events for the non-profit Your Turn Community Game Events. I am also a board member.
Your Turn was thought up by one of my Saturday players, Cathy Ford, who does the Our Turn! Gaming For Everyone podcast over at https://ourturnpodcast.com/.
The actual genesis of Your Turn is not something I'm going to get into now, but suffice to say it was put into action by Cathy and a bunch of gaming geeks, Your Humble Narrator included. We run games at libraries and community events. So far, we have had a lot of success and are getting invited to more events all the time. We may be hooking up with a local game store to run games on a weekly basis soon.
Part of that weekly scenario may have myself and other RPG GMs running games on alternate weeks or something. Details are still hazy.
And, on top of all of the above, I'm 13 days out from going to GenCon, which I have not attended since 2007. I am awash on gaming goodness.
About the only thing I'm not doing, gamingwise, is writing for publication. Now, I do write gaming useful stuff, but not for any company. I do it for my wonderful Patrons over on Patreon. So far, there are several items up for Patrons only, and I will have more coming soon.
Note: A more crass individual than I might suggest you go over to https://www.patreon.com/DocCross and sign up for as little as $1.00 a month. Fortunately, I am not given to such acts.
I am going to try to remember to do some regular gaming posts here on the blog, in addition to the other regular stuff.
And speaking of that regular stuff, here's a bit of what to expect in the next few weeks.
GenCon reporting will start on the 30th of this month when I fly to Kansas to join my friend, Peter Hildreth, for the trip to the con. I may do these reports on video, if I can get video to work on here.
The annual Trip To CritterCon, everyone's favorite fictional convention, will start Friday after I return from GenCon and will cover about 12 days.
After a 4 month absence, the Doclopedia will be back starting September 1st. I am not sure, but I may do another "500 Entries In 365 Days" bit of madness. Stay tuned.
I am also entertaining the idea of doing interviews with gaming folks. Not sure yet.
Well there you have it, a gamealicious post about my gaming situation. I hope you liked it.
See you next time.

Hi guys and hope all is well. It's been raining here everyday for the past two weeks and made it impossible to take photos for blog. We finally got a little break from the rain yesterday morning, and took the opportunity to take some shots :).
Ok, look at this top? If you've been following my posts then this shouldn't surprise you. I'm literally in love with the Tolani brand. Okay, more like obsessed! I love their prints and this top couldn't be more beautiful. This mid sleeve button down top features front and back contrast prints with monochromatic denim and aqua tones. It's funky yet stylish and looks good dressed up or down. I especially love the soft and lightweight feel, plus it also comes in a sleeveless version and several colors.
I decided to pair them with white jeans, since it complimented it nicely and a yellow clutch for an additional pop of color. Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day! 🙂

With fall right around the corner, means sweater weather is upon us. I have started doing a little fall shopping and the rails simone sweater couldn't be a more perfect buy. I love the loose knit cables detail on front and sleeves and it's wool/cashmere blend feels so soft on the skin. It's loose fit makes it ideal for layering without sacrificing comfort.
I love skirts, so i paired it with this midi from donna mizani, simple black heels and a cream clutch!
Thanks for reading and have a great day! 🙂

Since i'm always on the go, maxi's are always an easy choice. I love that you can just throw it on and look chic with no effort. Most maxi's, depending on the style are perfect for any occasion. Pairing your maxi with a nice pair of heels, a scarf or a nice piece of jewelry takes it from simple to formal. I love this one from Rachel Pally because it shows just the right amount of skin but still very ladylike, great fabric and the color is beautiful. Have a great weekend!

Tolani tunic dresses are a must for me in the summer and this piece i'm wearing is stunning from every angle. What i love about this tunic is it's vibrant fabric and the soft feel. Made of 100% silk, this dress feels very light and drapes on the body beautifully. The design is simple yet eye catching, feminine and looks good worn alone or with jeans. It also make a nice beach coverup!

Midi Skirts in my opinion are a wardrope staple and the perfect classy addition to a woman's closet. It's flattering on almost any figure if styled correctly and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The Donna Mizani midi skirt i'm wearing features a front slit which gives it a real sexy vibe and looks great paired with a sweater and thigh high boots for a fall/winter look. For warmer weather i love pairing my midi skirt with peplum tops, crop tops, bodysuits or a graphic / simple tee. For a more conservative look, i love to pair it with button down shirts and beautiful loose fitting blouse which is also nice for workwear. I'm obsessed with bodysuits at the moment, so i paired my skirt with a black bodysuit by clayton and a snakeskin clutch from JJ Winters. I feel midi skirts look best when worn with heels and simply work well worn both formally and casually. Thanks for reading…

Within the Eye of the Storm
Bassam and Rami, a Palestinian and Israeli, were once dedicated fighters willing to kill and be killed by one another for the sake of their nations. Yet each one of them came face to face with the price of war when their daughters were killed in the conflict. Left with the excruciating pain of bereavement, they chose to do the unexpected. They set out on a joint journey to humanize the very enemy, which took the dearest thing from them and prevent the vicious cycle of retaliation in themselves and their societies. Along the way they reveal the friendship and humor that keeps them alive.

Jillaroos, Dragons star Apps won't rush return from broken leg
YOU only need to look at the replay to know why Kezie Apps thought the worst when her left leg folded underneath her in the Jillaroos win over the Kiwi Ferns earlier this month.
The Bega star was left writhing in pain after twisting awkwardly in a tackle, with replays on the Mt Smart Stadium big screen drawing a collective groan from the crowd.
She's been no stranger to injury throughout her career, but it was a new feeling in the pain stakes.
"When I first did it I thought I'd dislocated something or broken my leg I was in so much pain," Apps said.
"By the time they assessed it they thought I might have done my meniscus but it was two days later that I had scans that showed I'd fractured my fibula up near my lateral ligament.
"I didn't do an ACL or a PCL, the only really bad thing is the fracture. Bones heal, I've been through it before, so it's a pretty good outcome.
"It's unfortunate but it's come at a good time. It's better to do it now than doing it next year and potentially missing a lot of games."
Apps famously played on after fracturing the same leg in last year's Auckland Nines, with the injury later requiring surgery and a six-month recovery period.
It makes her latest setback a frustrating one, but that experience leaves her confident she can get back to full strength prior to next season.
"I'm in a much batter head space than I was last time I broke my leg because it was my first major injury," she said.
"I had no idea how everything worked, if I'd ever get back playing, if I'd ever get back to playing at that level.
"Having been through it before and come out the other side I'm in a heaps better head space because I know what I've got to do.
"It's frustrating but you can't control these things. I can control what I do from here on in."
Her last recovery saw her make it back on the park for the Blues Interstate Challenge win in Wollongong last year, but she won't be setting the same return pace this time round.
"I don't think I rushed back last time but I probably wasn't quite where I should have been before returning to footy," she said.
"I might have come back a bit early and not quite built everything back up. I
"In saying that this was a freak accident, it was just unfortunate how I turned into it. I've got a little bit time this time around and don't need to rush back.
These first six weeks are probably the most crucial with how everything heals so I'm definitely taking these first six weeks pretty easy.
"After that I'll do the work and hopefully I'll be stronger, fitter and everything else when I get back next year."
It was a sour end but Apps said the 2018 season proved another monumental step for the women's game.
"We had our first state of Origin, the women's premiership, it's just been awesome," she said.
"Every year it just keeps getting bigger and better. Next year who knows what's going to happen but I just can't wait for it to come."

Company directors should be aware that there is only less than a week left to make a submission to Treasury in regards to the Federal Government's first tranche of proposed amendments to directors' liability legislation. Submissions are due on 30 March 2012.
Most directors are probably all too familiar with the term "derivative liability" – it is the term given to define what has come to resemble an increasing number of pieces of legislation that impose criminal liability upon directors for the commission of an offence by the company.
After sustained criticism for many years, the Business Regulation and Competition Working Group of the Council of Australia Governments (COAG) resolved to commence a series of reforms limiting and sometimes removing derivative liability.
The principles behind the reform agenda, agreed by COAG, are that, where a corporation breaches a statutory obligation, the corporation as an entity rather than its directors, should be held responsible first, at least to a certain extent.
Rather than allowing legislation to connect corporate contravention with personal liability by default, COAG now believe personal criminal liability should be restricted to instances where:
- there is a high risk of public harm that may be caused by the company committing the breach
- the liability of the company alone will be unlikely to compel compliance and
- the director should be liable considering that the director has capacity to influence the conduct of the company in relation to the offending and where there are steps
- a reasonable director would ordinarily take to ensure the corporation's compliance.
In these instances, COAG has agreed that a director should only be held criminally responsible if they encourage or assist in the commission of the offence, or are reckless or negligent in relation to the corporation's conduct.
Of course, such principles are yet to be incorporated into much of the relevant legislation, but they are a positive step forward in the area of derivative liability which has often been critiqued for its stifling effect on corporate risk-taking, director diversity and innovation.
Proposed amendments
The exposure draft of the first tranche of changes outlines amendments to non-taxation related Commonwealth legislation (ie the Corporations Act 2001, the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975, the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 and the Pooled Development Funds Act 1992).
Taking the Corporations Act as an example, the Federal Government proposes to amend Section 188 (which most Company Secretaries will be quite familiar with). A breach of section 188 results in a strict liability offence of the company secretary, and by each director if the company does not have a secretary. It is proposed that section 188 instead be deemed a civil penalty provision, removing criminal culpability.
However, the proposed exposure draft also increases the civil penalties for some contraventions, including those for breach of the provisions relating to registered office jurisdiction requirements, opening hours of registered offices of public companies, notifying ASIC of a change in the principal place of business, and a range of other provisions.

Spring Hill 'Hometown Christmas' Parade and Tree Lighting
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/08/2018
The afternoon of festivities and entertainment starts at 2 p.m. on the front lawn of Ferguson Hall. This year, the Tree Lighting Ceremony has been incorporated into the day of parade activities, rather than a separate lighting event at Port Royal Park, as the tree will be more visible on the front lawn of the Children's Home. The lighting ceremony will begin at 4:20 p.m. and we'll officially turn on the lights to the tree at 5 p.m. to the sounds of beautiful holiday music and a "100 percent chance of snow!" Then find a good spot along Main Street to put down your blanket or chair and enjoy the annual Christmas Parade starting at 5:30 p.m.
Parking for this event will be in a grass field behind the Tennessee Children's Home. Entry for this parking area will be on Kedron Road, not from the main entrance on U.S. 31. Exit for the north area of the parking lot will be to Elm Street. Exit for the south area of the parking lot will be Kedron Road.
Please note the parade route has changed from last year: The parade will begin at Evans Park and enter Main Street (U.S. 31) from Spring Hill Elementary School on Sharron Cantrell Road (formerly Toone Prados Street), and head north on Main, ending at the First Baptist Church parking lot at 5219 Main St. Parade participants will have the option to turn in at the church parking lot and unload or continue north on Main. Parade walkers must be picked up at the church. Vehicles and floats will not be allowed to leave the church parking lot until the Police Department has reopened U.S. 31 after the parade. Float participants may also choose to unload at other locations past the church.
Floats and other participants must access the lineup by entering Evans Park from Maury Hill Street and continuing to Sharron Cantrell Road (formerly Toone Prados Street) until reaching the back of the lineup. If needed, floats will be in double lines. Lineup starts at 3 p.m., not earlier.
• Main Street (U.S. 31) from Kedron Road to just south of Beechcroft Road will be closed at 1 p.m. The intersection of Beechcroft/Duplex Road and Main will remain open until 4:45 p.m.
• Main Street from Kedron to just south of Miles Johnson Parkway will close at 4:45 p.m.
• Main will remain closed until it is deemed safe to reopen after pedestrian traffic is cleared.

Where does the time go?
I'd gladly discuss the question in a physics-related context with you sometime, but that time has yet to come.
Instead, let's talk more casually, about how quickly time flies by sometimes. And this isn't just your daily "wow it's 10 PM and I still haven't done jack shit" moment, though if you experience that regularly I strongly recommend you step it up and be productive. I'm talking about things more like, "has it really been that long since I last saw you?" and "holy shit, 2010 was four years ago! That's a long time!" And of course when you get older long times seem shorter, but hey, I'm still young.
So what brought this topic to my attention? Well, I just did a word count on Caves, and the out was, I kid you not, exactly 37,000 words. After staring at my monitor and recounting a number of times just to make sure, I looked up the amount of words needed for a novella to turn into a novel. Though there isn't a set rule for that, most handle the SFWA's guideline: 40,000 words. Which means I've only got 3,000 words to go before I can call myself a novelist! How cool is that?
But then I checked back to see when the first part was published. The 3rd of May, 2013. That's over a year ago! And I don't even recall doing anything special for Caves' birthday. Shame! It still doesn't really feel like a year though. Sure it feels like a long time has passed since I started it. A lot of work's been put in since. But I honestly wouldn't have expected for the year to pass so swiftly. Then again, summer vacation's almost coming up as well, so that's a sign I could pay attention to.
It's funny how that works, hindsight and your perception of time. It's already been well over a year since I started getting into gamedev (February 2013, never forget), but that, too, doesn't feel like it's been that long. Yeah sure, it hasn't been that long since I actually seriously worked on something and finish- wait a second, it is. May 2013, the May Boot Camp, Trash Sweeper. Heh, gotta love them flying turds.

Vulcan Park and Museum will host its annual tribute to the world's largest cast-iron statue — Vulcan's 115th Birthday Bash — on Sunday, June 2, 1-5 p.m.
The family-friendly event often attracts between 1,000 and 1,400 attendees, according to Vulcan spokesperson LaShana Sorrell.
Part of the draw is the Vulcan statue, a powerful reminder of Birmingham's heritage, according to Sorrell. Since reopening in 2004 after a renovation, Vulcan Park and Museum "has become the gateway for educating visitors of all ages on the region's rich history," she said.
The event is also fun, with "a variety of activities for kids of all ages," she said.
Talladega Super Speedway will have a few cars onsite, and The World Games 2021 will offer an interactive mobile unit with rock climbing and sumo wrestling.
The Birmingham Zoo will provide animal encounters, and Get Rhythm will host drum circles. Game Stop will set up a next-generation game room in the museum, which is "always a big hit," Sorrell said.
There will be face painting and balloon animals from Magic Town Clowns, and the Birmingham Legion FC soccer team will be onsite. City Bowls, Full Moon Bar-B-Que, Dreamcakes Bakery and Coca-Cola will sell food and beverages.
The event's new presenting sponsor is UAB Callahan Eye Hospital.
Park admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children ages 5 to 12. Vulcan members and children under 4 are admitted free. Admission includes all activities, entrance to the museum and access to the observation tower.

The national Boats Are Homes; demonstration on Saturday 8th April 2017 was organised in defence of the boat dweller community in face of Canal and River Trust (CRT) threatening or actually evicting boat dwellers for their distance or pattern of movement.
Saturday's march had a strong and diverse turnout of 150- 200 boat dwellers including families, couples, individual boaters and their drums, chants, whistles and loud-halers from all over the waterways. The demonstration was lively and angry with a strong sense of solidarity and feeling like we can make a change.
We handed in the petition against CRT's intensified enforcement to Number 10, Downing Street. Nearly 35,000 signed the petition. We then marched on further to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to hand in a letter demanding that the Government takes responsibility in stopping CRT enacting what we believe is an unlawful CRT enforcement policy. People spoke from different parts of the waterways, and we were unified not only by a sense of countrywide boat dweller community, but also by the general threat to rid the waterways of boat dwellers. Oxford boat dwellers spoke about their successful campaign to stop the Council's plan to effectively make our way of life a criminal offence in Oxford. The demonstration was mainly focused on the CRT actions to threaten or actually evict boat dwellers from their CRT managed waterways. One of the most virulent campaigns against the intensification of the CRT enforcement policy is the easing off of the effects on boat families and to allow their children equal access to school. This is a key reason why so many boat dweller families came to the demonstration.
Many believe that the heightened enforcement from CRT has a direct correlation with CRT's continuing gentrification and privatisation of the waterways.
The coming together of boat dwellers from all over the country for a common purpose gave confidence and enthusiasm to many of the people attending to take further actions in defence of our community.

Custom Trade Counter
Custom Trade Counter
Sam from Drill Cut at Silverwater contacted us about creating a custom trade counter for sales out of their warehouse.
They have large items they are moving, hence they needed a large counter.
It needed to be extra strong and chemical resistant due to the stock they sell, so we sourced special laminates for his desk.
We worked closely with Sam and did a few site visits in order for him to get exactly what he was after in a sales desk.
Compared to our standard trade counter, this custom trade counter has actually been reversed.
Normally we create the customer area to the outside of the L shape, however for Drill Cut's purposes it was useful to switch that around.
Along with getting extra resistant laminate, we got custom colours, not just white and black.
This has worked into Drill Cut's design well.
Trade Counter
The trade counter is a very versatile and robust counter which makes it perfect for companies that are moving large amounts of stock.
It is a large counter in its standard sizing, creating a large space to process stock and serve customers as well as possible.
Strong moisture resistant MDF 16mm board is used to build the carcass of the counter.
Finished in hard wearing high gloss laminate, this counter will last a long time under normal usage.
To learn more about the Trade Counter, please click here.
Drill Cut
Drill Cut is a nationwide company providing innovative building solutions to its customers.
At a few different locations, such as the place at Silverwater, one can buy and pick up large amounts of a very large variety of products.

SANTIAGO – A thousand guitar players and hundreds of other musicians and fans will pay homage to the assassinated Chilean singer-songwriter, Víctor Jara, who was tortured and killed on this day (16 September 1973) by the 1973 coup leaders that led Augusto Pinochet to rule the South American country for 17 years.
The "Thousand guitars for Víctor Jara" will celebrate its sixth edition next Saturday (22 September) in La Paz de Recoleta Square, in front of the main entrance to the main cemetery in the Chilean capital Santiago. This year's festival will focus on the celebrated Chilean revolutionary artist's fifth album Canto Libre (Free Singing) that includes famous songs such as Angelita Huenuman, La Pala.
Jara, a member of Chile's Communist Party, who was also a theatre director, was detained on 12 September 1973 by military officers, a day after Pinochet's coup that led to the death of the socialist president Salvador Allende. He was taken, along with thousands of other students, university professors and other dissidents to Estadio Chile – today named after the artist. Recognized by a military officer, he suffered torture – his hands were burned and later broken by several rifle butt hits – and was later riddled with 44 bullets in her body.
"We are 5,000 people in this small part of the city… how many of us in all cities and the whole country? Only here 10,000 hands cultivate and make factories work. How many humans are suffering from hunger, cold, panic, pain, moral pression, terror and craziness?" wrote Jara during his four days of languishing. His body, along with that of Littré Quiroga, the Prisons chief during Allende government, was thrown to a wasteland in the southwest of Santiago only to be later recognized by he widow Joan Jara.
Chile Confers Cultural Honor on Joan Turner, Victor Jara's Widow
Then-ruling military officers forced her to bury the body immediately in the absence of many others. "He was torn apart, his hands were broken and had many bullet wounds", remembered her widow as written in the book "Víctor Jara, truncated sound". Also, the Rettig Report, that shed light on the human rights violations during Pinochet's 17-year military dictatorship (1973-1990), asserted that the author of famous songs such as "I remember you, Amanda" was "tortured by military officers and later executed by them on 15 September".
This year's remembrance of Jara coincides with a court verdict, sentencing nine military officer to jail for those days violent episodes.
On 3rd July, a special judge in Chile condemned eight officers: Hugo Hugo Sánchez, Raúl Jofré, Edwin Dimteri, Nelson Haase, Ernesto Bethke, Juan Jara, Hernán Chacón y Patricio Vásquez to 15 years and one day in jail for homicide charges. They were also sentenced to three years behind bars for kidnapping Jara and Quiroga.
The ninth officer, Rolando Melo, has received a 5 year jail term for covering the homicides and another 61 days on charges of covering the kidnappings.
In 2016, a tenth officer, Perdo Barrientos, fugitive in the U.S., has been officially charged with the kidnapping and homicide crimes by a court and is awaiting his extradition process.

Christians in over 100 countries observed the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church on Sunday by joining together to intercede for those who daily suffer for their faith in Jesus Christ. "Scripture affirms that the Christian life is a call to glory through suffering," says the World Evangelical Alliance of this day. "Accordingly, on a daily basis Christians
around the world face persecution in various forms, including discrimination, physical assaults, violence and even death."
"The Bible in Hebrews 13:3 command Christians to pray for those suffering as if they themselves were suffering," it outlines. "In other words, the Bible calls us to not only remember those who suffer but also to identify with them in their suffering." FULL REPORT
