I left my office tonight, grateful to have just barely escaped from the unceasing onslaught that is my email inbox. And as I stood — dazed and blinking into the late winter sun of the parking lot — I realized something.
Email is a zombie.
- You can knock it off one by one, but it just keeps coming.
- You can't kill it. You can only hope to contain it.
- All it wants to do is eat your brains.
- It's been dead for two years; it just doesn't know it yet.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — California's colleges are facing a funding crisis, so universities are turning to massive open online education (dubbed "MOOCs") to bolster pass rates and help students graduate on time.
At a press conference today, San Jose State University announced it would be expanding its online course offerings and opening a facility for adaptive and blended learning. This new center will train faculty members at the 11 participating California State University campuses.
California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) has been pushing state universities to move more aggressively into online education. He first approached San Jose State University to come up with a technological solution to many of its problems, including the large and oversubscribed introductory courses.
But with Gov. Brown on a trade mission in China, it was another prominent figure in state politics who spoke today at San Jose State. California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) serves on the boards of University of California and CSU, and he is also a keen supporter of online courses.
"We need to learn to compete with limited resources," Newsom said. "We have to provide more access."
With all the initial hype around MOOCs, it's not often we see real results. However, one of the first trials at San Jose State has proven promising.
In the fall, professor Khosrow Ghadiri used a blended learning model for his introduction to circuits analysis course. The class received instruction from an online video component — an MIT course via EdX's website — which students could complete at home, coupled with in-class problem solving and discussion with Ghadari.
Although the numbers of students were small, the pass rate in the blended class was 91 percent, far higher than the usual 55 percent.
Michelle Rhee-Weise, an education researcher at the Clayton Christensen Institute, refers to this trial an example of "sustaining innovation," meaning that it's a "palatable or less controversial step."
"It focuses on blended learning techniques and not on moving an entire campus experience online," said Rhee-Weise. The circuits course will now be offered to 11 other CSU schools.
San Jose State first announced its partnership with edX in October. Edx is a nonprofit founded by MIT and Harvard that has subsequently grown to 12 university partners. Formed in 2011, it is one of the pioneers of MOOCs, and competes with Coursera and Udacity.
Education technology startup Udacity also offers San Jose State students access to its online video courses, the New York Times reports. The pilot program from Udacity includes a remedial algebra course, a college-level algebra course and introductory statistics.
"Our work is about trying many new approaches, identifying what works and pushing forward a national conversation on effective ways to infuse the opportunities offered by technology into the way we teach and learn," San Jose State President Mohammad Qayoumi said. According to Qayoumi, the school's location in the heart of Silicon Valley makes it a natural fit to test many of the new online education tools.
This San Jose State expansion follows a bill, which was under consideration in the California State Senate in March, and would force California's universities and colleges to give credit for online courses. The bill was proposed to tackle the problem of students failing to graduate because they couldn't get a seat in a required course.
Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) said the state's 112 community colleges each had an average of 7,000 enrolled students who were on waiting lists, and at the 420,000-student, 23-campus California State University, only 16 percent of students graduate within four years.
Steinberg and others view MOOCs as a potential solution; students can enroll in an online course, rather than wait until a spot opens up in an oversubscribed — but required — introductory course.
San Jose State claims the expansion of the partnership will benefit thousands of students. The university hopes it will pave the way for community colleges and universities to examine new styles of learning.

The five city bond measures on next month's election ballot ask voters to approve $410 million worth of borrowing (which incidentally, will cost an estimated $719 million to repay when interest is figured in) to expand and upgrade the city's parks, libraries, police and fire stations and general government facilities, plus do demolition of substandard housing.
When asked about what the money will be spent on, city officials' consistent answer has been that the capital improvement plan for 2013-2017 lays it all out, project by project.
Sort of. It does indeed break down proposed spending on buildings and equipment, much of it financed by the bond measures. In other words, what Houstonians get for their money.
In case after case, though, the plan doesn't tell you where. About $116 million of the $410 million is not tied to specific projects. There are myriad "facility unassigned" entries in the CIP.
Take a proposed $32 million police station. It will include, according to the justification of the project: "a roll call/community room, front desk, administration offices, investigative offices, patrol officers work area, radio room, conference rooms for special units, exercise room, locker rooms, showers, restrooms and parking for patrol staff and visitors."
No word on where. The station is described simply as "Facility unassigned."
No doubt more than one council member would like to "assign" that to his or her district.
There's plenty that is specified: which parks and police stations get money, and the library plan in particular is very site-specific. However, there's a big gap: The city CIP tells you what but in many cases not where, while the campaign website jobsparkssafety.com has a nifty map with pinpoints that tell you where but not how much.
"It's a matter of deciding down the road what the priority is and what's the best use of that money," said Janice Evans, the mayor's spokeswoman. Annually, the city devises a new five-year capital plan and selects projects in consultation with department directors that identify what the greatest brick-and-mortar needs are.
Meanwhile, the current CIP lists as "unassigned" $11 million "to build, replace or renovate" police stations, $3 million to replace worn-out police equipment, $1.8 million for roof repairs and $527,000 for art at police facilities (required by 1999 city ordinance).
It's not just the cop shops where the building budget has so much wiggle room. There's $2 million for "facility unassigned" repairs to fire station slabs, and an additional $2 million for fire equipment.
In other areas, there's $2.5 million for replacement or repair of unspecified basketball pavilions, $4.8 million for "facility unassigned" park landscaping, $4.5 million to renovate or repair swimming pools not ID'd by name, $200,000 for ball field lighting somewhere in the city, $2.4 million for playgrounds, $1.6 million for heating, ventilation and AC systems for health centers, etc.
There's $11 million for repairs to the Sunnyside health center and a pledge to "prioritize repairs to other facilities accordingly."
City officials say they'll be pulling items by priority off a facilities needs assessment. When I asked for it, I got the highest priority projects, but only $27 million worth. A condensed version of the whole thing is available here.
Among the highest priorities are $1.1 million in repairs to 1200 Travis, the police headquarters — which is currently for sale. That's just the items "currently critical" and "potentially critical" items, not all of the projects that could get done with bond money.
When I asked the director of the General Services Department, Scott Minnix, why spend a million on a building you're getting rid of, he said they are must-fix issues to protect operations and matters of risk management. So if the public safety bond passes, the police's downtown headquarters gets partitions shored up, handrails and door knobs that offer better disabled access, replacement of broken or missing doors, asbestos abatement, water control panel repairs, replacement of heating and cooling equipment and light fixture replacements.
Minnix said it's not a waste of money for two reasons beyond the immediate necessity for public safety. First, even if the building sold this week, "They're not moving out tomorrow." Indeed, there's no plan yet for where the police go once 1200 Travis is sold. Police have pitched a new criminal justice campus that could be years in the making, and the police will likely rent Travis back from the new owner until they have a new home. Second, the repairs will help the building add or hold value, Minnix said. Think of it this way, he said: would you sell your car with a flat tire, or would you pay the money to fix the flat before putting the for sale sign in the window?
The city goes to the voters every four to six years. The last time was 2006, when voters signed off on $625 million in bonds. That money is still being spent, but it will run out in a year or two. To continue repairs, upgrades and new building, the city needs to recharge its building fund, apparently before officials have decided how every cent will be spent.

Today, I deviated from the set menu and went out to lunch. Did my best to be pretty healthy about it and not eat a bunch of junk. But I then combined my lunch and dinner entrees to one meal which was MORE than enough.
Multi-Grain Pancakes with Fresh Raspberries & Cherry Yogurt
One pancake, I ate it with a touch of butter. About 8 small raspberries – they were quite good. Gave the yogurt to my son because it is so sour. Added a boiled egg for some protein.
Mini Whole Wheat Pocket Filled with Curried Egg Salad
This snack was good and more filling than some of the meals (especially breakfast) have been. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had added a touch of salt or paprika, but it was good.
Lunch (Ate this as a side salad with dinner)
Blue Cheese Salad with Baby Corn, Hearts of Palm, Romaine Lettuce & Sun Dried Tomato with Basil Vinaigrette Dressing
Another really good salad, although I didn't know what hearts of palm were and the baby corn is always weird to me. Ha!
Home Style Crab Cake with Brown Rice with Pecans & Scallions and Sautéed Eggplant
I like crab cake okay, but I think I normally have it with some sort of sauce. Eating it dry with dry brown rice was a struggle, but I did make myself finish it. I didn't see one pecan or one scallion either. The eggplant was okay but not tasty, so I didn't finish it.
Mixed Fresh Berries with Creamy Ricotta Cheese Dip.
Berries were great! Ricotta cheese dip was better than other days, but still not high on my favorites list.

Duck Dynasty 'Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas' Album to be Released October 29th [UPDATED]
The Robertson Family from Duck Dynasty are getting ready for the holiday season. They have been hard at work on a Christmas album, that even includes a guest appearance from the King of country music, George Strait. The whole family has joined in to bring you 'Duck the Halls', to be released October 29th.
Updated October 15, 2013:
We just received the first two songs from the upcoming album "Duck The Halls". I have a feeling this album is going to be a big seller. These two songs are fun, upbeat, and actually have a good sound. I was pleasantly surprised. Here are the two sneak-peek songs; give them a listen and let us know in the comments below what you think.
Listen to The Robertson's 'Duck The Halls'
Check Out The Robertson's featuring Willie and Luke Bryan 'Hairy Christmas'
Original Post September 30, 2013:
From Phil, Kay, Willie, Jase and Si to all the grandchildren it's a Robertson family Christmas album that you don't want to miss. Luke Bryan and Willie team up for a duet on the album and George Strait sings 'Christmas Cookies' with a little help from Phil & Miss Kay.
Just from watching the video, it seems that the Robertson's might actually have some singing talent to go along with their hunting skills.
You can pre-order your album along with a t-shirt here. The album will officially be released in stores October 29th.
Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect on the upcoming album.

The former head of News and Current Affairs at BBC Scotland is to lead the pro-Union campaign in the event of a second independence referendum, it has been claimed.
John Boothan, who was with the BBC for 30 years, left the corporation in June 2015 to take up a new position assisting with the corporation's Charter renewal bid. A new charter was published last year.
According to BBC news reports, the ex-BBC chief is said to have been approached by senior figures within the Labour Party concerned that the pro-Unionist campaign is unprepared to take on Nicola Sturgeon. Unnamed sources are keen to avoid having any current or former politicians take on the role.
Boothman will be joined at the helm by retired comedian Russ Abbott, who has lived in Scotland for the last fifteen years, and Labour activist Duncan Hothersall.
The news was welcomed by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson who praised Boothman's pro-Union credentials.
"I worked at BBC Scotland under John and know just how committed he is to the Union. Nothing was more important to him."
The announcement comes just a day after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon submitted a formal request to the UK Government for a section 30 order that would allow a legally binding referendum to be held.
This of course an April Fool.

Partner Spotlight: DogVacay
A post by Indiana . . .
"Mandy" came to live with our family nearly five years ago... a mere three weeks before our oldest child Jude was born.
She came with the name "Mandy", which we immediately changed to June Carter Cash Adams. She was a rescue dog who, at just three months old, was relinquished by an elderly woman in a motorized wheelchair. "Mandy" had been run over by her first owner's wheelchair several times and had therefore learned to be very quiet and to hide. The woman reported that "Mandy" wouldn't come out from under the couch, and she was often unable to find her or reach her or coax her out of hiding.
Something else that was peculiar about "Mandy" was the fact that she was so docile. She went limp like a noodle when anyone tried to pet her or pick her up. It made us laugh so we affectionately called her Noodles when she did this, but we still mainly called her June.
After Jude was born, though, it got really confusing:
INDIANA: June went poop!
CHRIS: Did you say June or Jude?
So yeah. We dropped the June and started calling her Noodles just a couple weeks after Jude was born. I think it's a fitting name. She still goes limp at human affection! Limp with joy! Is that even a thing?
With three charming children to take up story space, Noodles doesn't get a lot of attention on the blog or my Instagram, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you more about her. She is quiet, kind, and patient. She has graciously welcomed three children in to our pack. She barks at two things: visitors, until they cross the threshold of the doorway, and her cat "twin" / nemesis from next door (a very large, black fluffy cat that looks a lot like her!). She's small and gets trampled on occasionally, and she puts up with the kids poking her in the eye, picking her up by the tail, and trying to get her to play fetch (Nope. Not interested!). She is deliriously happy when you cuddle her or pet her. She is the perfect companion for a household of rowdy children. In truth, she's an unassuming, very sweet dog. Kind of boring, but thankfully mild mannered and obedient. She isn't a burden because she requires no exercise or grooming. She goes outside to the bathroom by herself, and for the most part, she just lays around and sleeps.
This is a family full of people who like a lot of attention. Our dog is the opposite of that. She's always under the radar and therefore is easily forgotten.
I mentioned in my recent vacation post that we go on a lot of little family trips. Sometimes I'll go visit my best friend in South Carolina, we've already been back to Texas for a visit once, and I like to go to a couple blog conference each year. We always forget about Noodles.
Not because we're terrible dog owners! It's mainly because she's such a chill dog. Thankfully we were introduced to DogVacay back when we lived in Austin.
DogVacay is a network of vouched for pet sitters who will care for your pet, usually in their home, while you're away. Noodles loves her DogVacay host the Hart family. Amy, the mom of the family, even takes the time to text me photos of Noodles enjoying her stay.
DogVacay has saved us in a pinch in a few situations, and when I went to Texas for nearly two weeks for SXSW and TxSC, Noodles thoroughly enjoyed her long DogVacay.
The kind folks at DogVacay want y'all to be able to use them, too. They offer both dog and cat sitting services. Using code NoodlesTheDog, new users may enjoy a $10 off promotion.
And if you love animals, perhaps you, too, can become a DogVacay host.
Learn more: DogVacay website, Instagram (OMG cute puppies!), Twitter, & Facebook.
Noodles was given a DogVacay credit to help offset her stay while we were in Texas last March in exchange for an honest post / review on our website. We welcome them as our episode one podcast sponsor. We are repeat customers and love what they do! Thank you so much for supporting the awesome companies who partner with our family!

LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 17988 / February 19, 2003
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. GARRY W. STROUD, INDIVIDUALLY AND D/B/A DIAMOND GLOBAL HOLDING TRUST, EURO CREDIT AND EXCHANGE BANK LTD., AND ANGELIC INTERNATIONAL, et al. (U.S.D.C. Western District of Oklahoma, Civil Action No. CIV-01-999-W)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on February 18, 2003, the Honorable Lee R. West, U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Oklahoma, entered a default judgment against Garry W. Stroud, ordering him to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest in the amount of $1,044,879, a $956,379 civil penalty and enjoining him from further violations of the federal securities laws. Previously, Judge West issued emergency orders, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, assetfreeze and the appointment of a temporary receiver against Stroud, who operated his scheme from British Columbia, Canada.
On June 28, 2001, the Commission filed suit against Stroud in federal district court in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Commission's complaint charged Stroud with conducting an ongoing Internet investment scheme that fleeced over 2,200 investors worldwide of approximately $1 million since 1998. According to the Commission's complaint, Stroud, operating under several fictitious businesses, used Internet websites and e-mail to hawk seven spurious investments, including so-called "Morgenthau Gold Bond Certificates," foreign gold-mining projects, and "prime-bank" trading programs, promising investors extraordinary returns with little or no risk. The complaint further alleged that these investments were, in every case, pure shams and that Stroud had not paid a single investor the promised returns. Stroud was assisted in the scheme, according to the complaint, by Adele Louros, whom it named as a relief defendant. Moreover, according to the complaint, Stroud targeted his fraudulent investment offerings mainly to investors who were recently defrauded in another investment scheme. That scheme, known as E-Biz Ventures, was the subject of a Commission enforcement action in January 2001 involving over 20,000 investors and over $9 million. SEC v. E-Biz Ventures, et. al, Lit. Rel. 16886, February 1, 2001. The Court previously entered judgment by default against Louros on July 30, 2002.
The court also ordered Stroud to provide a post-judgment accounting of all investor funds he obtained, to repatriate all assets outside the jurisdiction of the Court and further issued a permanent injunction against future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b?5 thereunder.

Expectation is building within the Russian Rugby community, planning and preparation is on track and I am sure that the tournament will deliver a lasting Rugby legacy within Russia," said IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset.
Rugby Union of Russia President Vyacheslav Kopiev said: "The IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy provides huge opportunities for Rugby in Russia, not only to showcase high quality international matches to the Russian public but also to help us attract the next generation of players and supporters to the Game."
"It also gives our Under 20 team the chance to test themselves on a global stage, against strong opposition, which is essential for their development as players. Moscow is a magnificent city and a great sports capital, and we have worked hard to ensure that we create a festival of Rugby for all involved."
IRB Tournaments Manager Philippe Bourdarias, in Moscow for the launch, said: "This weekend will see the 100 days to go landmark reached and the tournament is shaping up to be the most competitive IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy to date."

Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 8.30.17
The Alabama Supreme Court set the following execution dates: Jeffrey Borden, October 5th 2017; Torrey McNabb, October 19th 2017. We will be sending out Talking Points and will also post them on our website and on our Facebook page.
The deadline for registering for the Arise meeting where members choose issue priorities is September 1st. You can call 334 832 9060 or visit arisecitizens.org. In its most recent newsletter Arise highlighted the following glaring problems concerning the death penalty in our state. 1) No statewide public defender system, 2) the new unfair Fair Justice act to accelerate death penalty appeals, 3) bills to allow executions by firing squad, electrocution or nitrogen hypoxia. We would add the passed judicial override bill which is not retroactive and the secrecy surrounding the execution protocol. So please register and come and vote.
We were delighted to sign a letter to Governor Eric Greitens initiated by Witness to Innocence to thank him for granting a stay last week even before the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled. Not only is it important to reinforce good behavior but it also feels good to be able to do this. In Arkansas the Governor, following the recommendation of the Parole Board, granted clemency to a death row inmate on the same day as he set an execution date for another inmate. One wonders about the timing and the need to appease?
Looking around the nation one sees the death penalty states continuing to scramble for execution drugs and we took note of the new drug, etomidate an anesthetic drug which replaced midazolam, used in Florida last week for the first time with no report of adverse effects.
The California Supreme Court ruled that Proposition 66 is constitutional, and that starts the clock ticking on speeding up appeals and eventually resuming executions in that state after more than a decade! However that is not as straight forward as it might appear.
Even though we have been handicapped with our communications due to phone problems at Holman our newsletter Wings of Hope is ready. It was mailed to Esther to take to the printer one week ago but has still not arrived. We are concerned!
See you next week!

~ Chapter 74: The el'doraw's true fate (Part 2) ~
[Illsyore's point of view]
We met around four in the evening. Ayuseya was stunningly beautiful as always, giving off the air of a refined woman who knew all there was to know about the high class society. The green of her dress complimented the crimson color of her eyes and hair while pushing forward the generous mountains on her chest.
The way she walked. The way she gazed at those around her. The way she kept her composure and greeted me with a delightful smile. All of those things were signs of her noble background. Well, she was a princess after all.
"You look... beautiful." I said the moment I saw her.
"Thank you, my dear." she replied and made a courteous bow before me.
"Shall we?" I asked in a polite tone of voice.
She nodded and just like that, we departed from the inn.
We ate a decent meal at a good restaurant, a different one this time so as to not spread the rumors of me cheating on Nanya. Seeing how she was crying yesterday and how I was going out with a beauty like Ayuseya today, it wouldn't be that wrong to assume that was the case.
For some reason, I felt really tense while walking around the city, and it wasn't because of some suspicious fellows thinking that we were some sort of easy prey they could snatch on their way home. Shanteya was certain to remove them. What made it tense for me was to realize just how much of a difference in maturity and class was between me and the dragoness.
Up until now, I never did bother myself with such things. Even back on Earth, I had no idea what really made a noble woman so fancy. My idea of elegant was a suit and tie for a man and a pretty dress for a woman. Ayuseya proved to me that it was more than that. It was the way they carried themselves, the way they walked, and the way they glanced at those around them. It made me feel a bit more calculated with what I said and did around her.
Overall, Ayuseya felt like a completely different woman when compared to Nanya and Shanteya. If I were to think about her role in my Academy, it would be that of a vice-principal. She simply had that sort of influence and presence about herself.
Unlike Nanya, she was also a woman of few words, but the matters we spoke about were small nothings, memories from our journey so far, advice on how to get stronger, simple and at times a bit naughty compliments. She also stuck quite close to me, never letting go of my hand and more than once showing me a love-struck gaze.
Then came the moment when I was supposed to reveal the truth to her. Just like it happened with Nanya, I led her outside. If I were to get slapped over there, at least she wouldn't have to worry about having destroyed someone's house by accident.
"Ayuseya... about this date..." I began to speak.
"It's your way of saying 'farewell' to us, isn't it?" she asked with a soft smile on her lips, yet tears forming in her eyes.
"Yes..." I looked down ashamed.
"The Darkness..."
"It's winning..."
"The solution?"
"My death..."
A moment of silence was cast down upon us. I looked up and saw those beautiful red eyes of hers filling up with tears. Her fists were clenched, but she refused to break into a cry. Moving my arms around her shoulders I pulled her down into my embrace. Strength left her knees and fell before me.
She began to cry with her face buried in my chest.
"I'm sorry..." I said as I gently patted her head.
What was there left to say?
I allowed the moment to pass by while the tears of my draconian wife soaked my shirt.
What a worthless husband I am... I thought to myself.
Kill her then... whispered The Darkness.
Furrowing my brow, I pushed the thought away. It was useless to reason with this monster.
Some time later, when Ayuseya calmed down, she was resting her head in my lap, while I was brushing her red hair with my hand. Those horns of hers really got into the way of a comfortable position, but I endured it.
"There's really nothing you can do about it?" she asked me.
"No... I tried."
"Is it that powerful?" she asked.
"Yes." I nodded.
"It doesn't seem so to me..."
Just like Nanya, she refused to believe it.
"Maybe, but for me it's an unbeatable enemy..." I said.
With her big red eyes, she looked up at me and gently touched my cheek with her fingers.
"There's no one who can defeat you, my love... No matter what." she showed me a soft smile and then continued to speak "It wasn't The Darkness who defeat Dankyun, it was all you. It wasn't The Darkness who created your body, it was all you. It wasn't The Darkness who proposed to me that day, it was you..."
"Even if it was a 'not not' joke?" I asked.
"It was fate... and I don't regret even a single moment I spent together with you. I prefer a month of happiness by your side as your wife than an eternity of suffering as Dankyun's. Actually, I can't imagine any other man besides you... and you... you aren't The Darkness. In my eyes, you are the stronger one, my love." she told me in a soft tone of voice.
"If only it was true..." I teared up.
"All of it is... you just have to believe it as well. Who knows? Maybe the key to defeating The Darkness is far more simple than you are left to believe?" she showed me a smile and then tears gathered in her eyes again, rushing down her cheeks, around the golden scales.
"Ayuseya..." I spoke softly.
"Illsy, I don't want you to leave me... I don't want you to go away from my life... I want you as my husband, as my lover, as you..." she covered her eyes with her hand. "I'm sorry, but... seeing you give up like this... so easily, it hurts. You aren't a man who should give up so easily, Illsy..."
"What do you expect me to do, Ayuseya?" I asked her while I closed my eyes.
"To fight... To fight like you never fought before! To give it your all! To smash and rip apart to pieces all the rules, laws, fates, and gods that dare stand against you! Up to your last breath... up to the last moment... I want you to fight for yourself... and for us, your wives who love you so very much..."
With those words, our conversation ended, and only the sobs of a draconian princess could be heard in that endless desert. I remained with Ayuseya until she calmed down, but for me, it was hard to accept or even find the strength to follow that advise.
What good is there to fight when the outcome has already been decided? was what I thought.
[Somewhere up in the skies]
"HOW DARE YOU!" Melkuth screamed in anger as he tossed a punch at the god who looked like a senile old fool.
"Patience, youngling." the man stopped the god's punch with only a finger.
"Kuh! To have so much strength... even though you are joke of a god!" he glared.
"A joke? Ohohoho! I am being worshiped by all followers of all the gods without them even knowing it!" he smiled.
"Ridiculous!" he glared, but despite those words, he knew it was the truth.
"Calm down, will you?" the senile old fool flicked the punch and tossed the mighty God of War back a few meters.
"If only I didn't listen to your words! I had the chance to fix this, to send my apostles to kill that thing before it grew too strong! Now all the three continents will be destroyed by that thing YOU created!" Melkuth pointed a finger at the god.
"Oh my! Don't be so hasty with your accusations." he smiled and rubbed his long beard.
"My most beloved Apostle will die, The Darkness will awaken, and there's absolutely NOTHING we can do about it!" he glared.
"Oh my! Really now? It doesn't look that bad to me." he smiled and then looked down at the clouds between them.
A massive whirlpool formed and a mirror was revealed. It showed a moment of the future. Illsyore was completely taken over by The Darkness, and a sword was stabbed in Zoreya's chest.
"You were saying?" Melkuth asked raising an eyebrow.
"True, this is... saddening, but her future will also depend on your own choice. A stubborn mule, be it young or old, is still a stubborn mule." he smiled. "You hold her life in your hands. You will choose what to do when the time is right, after all... only a god's power can deny his." he then looked back down at the scene. "As for him... there are differences between what's happening now and the future foretold by the Dark Gods." he pointed out.
"Such as?" Melkuth asked raising an eyebrow.
"First of all... Only the True God of this Universe can foretell the future, they can merely guess it." he smiled.
"So far it was pin point accurate. Illsyore was born. He defeated a Supreme. He defeated a country, and he is now being taken over by The Darkness." Melkuth retorted.
"Yes. But... He defeated him, not killed him. He defeated a country's corrupt prince, he didn't destroy its army and royal family. Thus, leaving the country at the mercy of its neighbors." he smiled.
"I know, but even so... it didn't change anything!" he glared at him.
"It didn't it? Hm, I wonder..." he smiled.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"The Dark Gods spoke of many prophecies. Many of them turned out to be real. Many of them were feared, that's why the Black Mages exist, but in this particular one, which we hid away from the mortals... nowhere... and I mean nowhere." he squinted his eyes" was it mentioned that Illsyore would have a wife... or more." he smiled.
"What use is there? All his wives were supposed to have died long before this journey! Only you and your stupid blessing are at fault for this outcome!"
"EXACTLY! THE GLORY OF BIG BOOBS SAVED THE DAY!" he shouted triumphantly as he raised his hands up to the sky.
At this remark, the God of War unsheathed his sword and tossed it at the god, hitting him straight in the forehead with the hilt.
"Ugh!" the senile old fool tumbled back a few times.
"You idiot! Just because you saved the lives of three petty mortals doesn't mean you saved the outcome! IN fact, you made it WORSE! The Darkness wasn't supposed to appear until years from NOW!" Melkuth shouted.
"Ugh... But, this way, he won't be lonely... Besides, it's true that if not for Illsyore having my blessing as the God of Big Boobs, he would have never saved or noticed Shanteya in the first place. He would have killed her without remorse BEFORE checking her. Sigh, such a waste in blissful bounciness that would have been..." the god seemed to regret the wrong thing about this whole situation.
As for Melkuth, he put up with it and listened to the words of a god ignored by almost all other gods... and mostly unknown to mortals. Despite everything, he noticed with his own eyes the changes brought upon by this peculiar god's influence, and those weren't something to ignore.
"This tragedy would have raised a barrier on his heart and further pushed him away from Nanya and Ayuseya. Sparing Shanteya's life influenced the draconian princess' life as well." he smiled.
"How so?" Melkuth already knew the answer, but still asked out of courtesy.
"Well, Illsyore was able to learn of his incredible ability as a Godlike Dungeon Lord to heal those impossible curses and abnormal solution, thus, prompting him to believe and have confidence that there was a chance to do so for Ayuseya Drekar Pleyades!" he pointed at him "IF not for that, he would have NEVER proposed to help her out! He would have NEVER interfered with her life! Dankyun would have arrived and taken her away without a problem. At most, he would have said: 'How unfortunate...' right before she left with him." the god smirked.
Melkuth squinted his eyes at him, but the outcome of such a tragic event was already clear to him.
"As a result, she would have died two years later after giving birth to her first child. Dankyun would have returned to Fellyore, and while at that time Illsyore and Nanya would have been friends, thanks to the incident with his dungeons and one of the teacher's death in there, she wouldn't have trusted him. Dankyun would have killed Nanya before she had the chance to release her seal, slaughtered the students and ONLY then would have Illsyore reacted!" the Holy God of Big Boobs shouted pointing a hand at Melkuth.
"Kuh, true but... that was all according to their fate. Their souls wouldn't have minded such an outcome..." the God of War backed off, but then looked straight in his eyes. "Although, thanks to that, Dankyun would have been killed by Illsyore WITHOUT any help from The Darkness. Now, although relatively harmless, he is still an unstable psychopath with the ability to destroy a nation!"
"Well, he was an unstable psychopath to begin with, but you are forgetting the fact that he is now located in a specially designed prison guarded by two other Supremes he doesn't stand a chance of winning against. If he takes one step out of there without permission, he is dead." the senile old fool smirked.
"You are telling me to believe in Illsyore just because his predicted future was changed to an unknown one?" he asked.
"Yes! Besides, neither of us gods approved of that crappy future anyway." he shook his head.
"Still, using our power like this... interfering with mortals. How do you know this isn't abuse of power and that we aren't acting just like them?"
"Because of the WAY this simple, unexpected influence changed ALL of their fates. After all, the only thing I did was to make Illsyore notice her, and she to think twice before instinctively killing him." the senile old fool smirked again.
"Actually, both of those are a result of you deciding to put yourself as Illsyore's god..." Melkuth grumbled.
"Yes. But that in itself was enough to allow me to work... my 'magic' without him becoming an Apostle!" he smirked and then made a twirl on the spot "That's why so many souls were saved afterwards! So many lives were changed! Opinions about Dungeons was shifted! New Dungeons emerged! Heck, even your precious Apostle learned to smile!" he pointed at Melkuth "If she were to have taken that boring predetermined path, she would have fought to the death against Illsyore five years after the Fellyore Massacre!" he exclaimed.
"That was her fate... Then she would have joined me in Heaven! What was wrong with that!" Melkuth glared.
"You fearful old geezer! You are the one with a problem! When you see a beautiful woman, you just can't let go of her!" the senile old fool pointed out.
"Because I'm a god! I have that right... partially... well... sort of." he spoke quite aware of the limitations and laws placed upon their kind.
"Even like this, you are a good fellow at heart, Melkuth... I know you will be able to save that child. Well, even us can't predict what will happen next... At most, we can guess, but so far... it seems that fate may change for Illsyore and the three continents." the senile old fool spoke with a low voice.
"You are such a powerful god, yet... you are the weirdest among us all. The Holy God of Big Boobs, the one worshiped by many without them even knowing about it." Melkuth let out a defeat sigh and slumped down on the ground cross-legged.
"Don't be sad, old friend, Zoreya simply isn't the one..."
"I know... but will we really be able to save the three continents with this? Otherwise, we'll need to do that whole Hero Summoning mambo jumbo, mark The Darkness as the Demon Lord, yada yada, you know... that sort of stuff." he let out an annoyed sigh.
"If it doesn't work, we'll just be doing the summoning a few years earlier than expected. No harm done, and I'll even lend you my power with this one, alright?" the senile old fool said with a smile as he walked over and sat in front of the God of War "Besides, unlike the other gods, you are restraining yourself too much with this non-interference pact. It's not absolute, you know? My advice is to have a drink and relax! Maybe once in a while visit the mortal realm and have some fun! Sake?" he asked as he pulled out a bottle out of thin air.
Melkuth raised an eyebrow "Are you crazy? Give me Vodka!" he grinned.
Another bottle appeared.
"You didn't tell the other Gods what we did, did you?" asked the senile old fool.
"Hm? No, but those who are connected to those mortals should be suspecting something by now." Melkuth opened the bottle of Vodka and filled up a tankard.
"To big boobs!" one declared raising his cup up.
"For victory in war!" the other replied raising his tankard up.
They clinked and drank it all!
"Puha~! Perfect!" said the Holy God of Big Boobs.
"Haaa~! To think the lives of millions may be saved thanks to one woman..." the God of War shook his head.
"More accurately, thanks to her bountiful bosom and the love she carries for a Dungeon! In short, the love that sparked in that night managed to reshape the whole future... Even I didn't expect it to be to this extent... Illsyore may just be exactly what this planet needs in order for it not to be a dungeon anymore." the god smiled.
"Hey, that's taking it a bit too far, don't you think?" the god of war raised an eyebrow.
"Who knows? Let's drink my friend! As for the future, let it be written by the free will of mortals and guided by the kindness of us gods!" the senile old fool shouted as he raised his cup to the sky and then drank it all in one gulp.

|Pre-Battle Set-up
|Early Stage of the Battle
|The Wolf Clan Battle Lines Approach the Dark Elf Forces
The dark elves split their forces into three battle groups with one moving towards the Robin Hood line and the other two shifting toward the wolf clan.
|Fresh Meat! Or Not. . .
|The Forces Close
Meanwhile, the dark elves learned the hard way about the power of RH's bowfire, with the three of the four units in the battle group moving against RH getting peppered with arrows. They did manage to eliminate the third RH scout unit and one unit made a solid show of trying to snipe one of RH's units but to no avail. RH sent one unit over to nab the prize while the main group moved toward the center, where the wolf clan forces were facing off against the remaining dark elf force.
|Robin Hood with Friar Tuck and the Merry Men
|Things Look Grim for the Dark Elves
At this point, the wolf clan won initiative and rolled a two. Mike and Jeff both expected me to hit the dark elves from the flank, likely wiping out that group and all of Jeff's forces with the exception of the sorceress. I knew that doing that, however, would open me to Mike's withering fire and so I left the dark elves alone and move my crossbow unit up, successfully shooting the scout unit and then moving on to take out the unit holding the prize the next turn.
The dark elves realized that the best chance of victory lay in sending the general and dragonman against RH's forces and so did that. They managed the victory and RH was suddenly on the ropes.
|The Wolf Clan Warriors Make a Break with the Prize
|Poor Robin May not Escape This Trap
|The Final Battle for Robin Hood
Overall, the game was a lot of fun and really highlighted one of the things I love about Mighty Armies. It is really exciting to see key moments coming and going with the roll of dice. Really, any one of the armies could have walked away with the victory and there were multiple moments where we expected one result and the unexpected suddenly occurred.

phil overeem, village voice
after indulging my shakey vanity to read the two (!) priceless pearls of wisdom the editors extracted from my ballot-accompanying rant, i read the following from phil:
My favorite rock and roll moment of the year happened in March when the Drive-By-Truckers played free for 125 kids at the Missouri high school where I teach. They rolled our their tour bus, set up in about 10 minutes, and played a brilliant acoustic set filled with songs (like "Outfit," "Never Gonna Change," "Lookout Mountain," and "The Day John Henry Died") that they'd specially selected for the audience. In between, Hood, Coley, and Isbell talked about the inspiration behind their writing and dispensed much wise advice for budding rockers. Afterwards, they signed autographs over cafeteria chocolate milk for 20 minutes, talked one-on-one with several student musicians, and at their show at a local venue that night, dedicated a song ("Buttholeville" -- the choice was inspired not by the song's subject matter but by its killer riff) to the kids.

Garry Monk has warned his Middlesbrough players not to become distracted by events at Sunderland when the two sides meet on Sunday.
The two rivals go head to head at the Riverside with the Black Cats in disarray after the sacking of manager Simon Grayson minutes after their 3-3 draw with Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday night.
It was a decision described as 'mind-boggling' by Monk – on Sunderland's shortlist in the summer when they were looking to replace David Moyes .
Billy McKinlay and former Boro defender Robbie Stockdale have been placed in caretaker charge of Sunderland for the trip down the A19, as the Wearsiders search for their 10th permanent manager in nine years.
But Monk wants his in-form players to focus on their own situation as they look to make it three wins on the bounce after victories over Hull City and Reading in their last two outings.
He said: "With derby games, the form goes out the window and we just need to focus on ourselves and deliver what we need to deliver.
"We will just approach the game by focusing on ourselves.
"It's now going to be difficult. Sunderland will come strong regardless of what situation they are in. It's another difficult game for us.
"At home, we haven't given our fans what we have wanted before and this is another motivation for us.
"We want to try and finish a good week and make it a great week."
Six points our of six have seen Boro propel themselves up the Championship table to eight, just two points off the play-offs after a sticky period, and while Monk isn't saying they have turned the corner, he's hopeful Boro can start to show some consistency now.
""Every teams uffers difficult periods and there will be ups and downs throughout the season at some point for every team," he added.
"The corrections we've asked the players to take onto the pitch has shown in the performances.
"It was important we showed how together we are which we did and picked up six points. But we have to make sure this weekend that we put in the same level of performancen and desire and take that into the derby game.
"We know there's a long way to go.
"It's a big game at the weekend, a derby. Form goes out the window a lot in these games."

The region of the Peloponnese which held the Spartan people was called Lacedaemon (now Laconia) and the Spartans were known as the Lacedaemonians from at least the fifth century B.C. By that time, Lacedaemon was used interchangeably with Sparta when referring to the political entity. What happened before that time?
In the Iliad, the land ruled by Menelaus is referred to as "a hollow" which is "scarred with ravines", certainly an apt description of the Spartan lands as they look today. But if the setting of the Iliad was the Mycenaean Age, the residence of Menelaus would have been a castle. Where was it? Toynbee speculates that the original "Sparta" may have been at Therapne or Amyklai, nearby towns that date back to the Mycenaean time.
Sparta originally meant "sown land" and represented part of the cultivated area of the Eurotos Valley. Later, at some point, the land became the town when the Spartans relocated there. They may have called themselves Lacedaemonians from the time their territory encompassed more than one or two villages, but Spartans only when they needed to distinguish themselves from the Perioeci and the Messenians.
The city of Sparta consisted of four settlements: Pitane, Limnai, Kynosoura, and Messoa. The tombs of the Agiadai kings were located in Pitane, while the tombs of the Eurypontidai were located in Limnai. This suggests that the two royal houses originated from these towns and their combination occurred voluntarily. How Kynosaura and Messoa may have joined the Spartan community is obscure.
It appears that the foundation of Sparta must have occurred no earlier than the beginning of the ninth century B.C. because there is no evidence of Mycenaean or sub-Mycenaean culture there. The earliest that Spartan kings can be dated is through independent evidence is ~ 730 B.C. when Polydoros and Theopompos reigned. This was also the time of the First Messenian War, when Messenian names ceased to be listed among the winners at the Olympic Games.
Although we don't know the origin of the Lacedaemonians, the Spartans and Messenians of the fifth century were speaking the same dialect of Northwest Greek as the Dorian invaders who attacked the entire Peloponnese and destroyed Mycenae. The fertile plain of Sparta and whatever wealth existed there as a result of the Mycenaean culture would have been attractive to the invaders sweeping down from the north. After the invasion, the newcomers combined with the natives to form what would become the Lacedaemonian people.

The Spartans as Lacedaemonians

''because there is no evidence of Mycenaean or sub-Mycenaean culture there'' – There is no evidence in the Eurotas valley but there is in the Menelaion site.
'' and the Spartans were known as the Lacedaemonians from at least the fifth century B.C'' – There is few of the inscribed monumets in Olympia,dedicated by Spartans(Akmatidas and Gorgos for example),one winning the pentathlon and one probably being one of the judges..both dated from 6th BC. So Lakedaimonioi is the term archeology knows much before 5th BC, Spartans is the term only used rarely,and in the context of Spartan citizens (while Lakedaimonioi is used in the very same context by Spartans themselves).

Things You Will Need
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Paper
- Miter saw
- Pneumatic nail gun
- Caulk or wood putty
- Paint or stain
- Paintbrush
Many old or outdated kitchens can be updated with crown molding. Crown molding is a good way to add grace and charm to any kitchen.
It sometimes is tricky to install, but homeowners will love the results of a job well done. Learning how to install crown molding on your kitchen cabinets will allow you to do the job yourself and save money on installation fees.
- Measure the sides and front of the kitchen cabinet with a measuring tape. Be precise with these measurements because improper measurements will mean big problems as you cut the crown molding. Write the measurements down on a piece of paper with a pencil.
- Mark the measurements on a piece of crown molding. As you mark the measurements, indicate the direction of the 45-degree angle cuts needed for the corners.
- Place the crown molding onto the table of the miter saw. The top of the crown molding should rest against the table while the bottom of the molding should rest against the saw's wall. Set the miter saw to a 45-degree angle. Cut the molding along the marked lines.
- Set the crown molding into place on the cabinet. Have a partner hold the molding while you nail it into place with a pneumatic nail gun.
- Fill in the nail holes and gaps between the molding and the cabinets with colored caulk or wood putty. Wait for the caulk or putty to dry.
- Paint or stain the crown molding to match your cabinetry, using a paintbrush.

Full Transcript
So there are various key parts of the protocol that we're gonna really pay a lot of attention to because they have a lot of influence into what we're gonna design. So the very first thing is, what are the end points. What is this study, this trial, trying to collect.
So primary and secondary and then the tertiary or exploratory endpoints, they're in the order of priority. And that gives a message to us, what is the most important piece of information that this trial is trying to collect, and that's the parts then that we have to pay particular attention to.
But there are other parts of the protocol that we're gonna pay a lot of attention to. So for instance, you've got the inclusion-exclusion criteria. And some of those criteria are gonna be related to the data that we may end up collecting. And so what we can do is, we can take the data we collect, run it through the calculations, and then tell the sponsor or the site, whether the subject meets that particular inclusion or exclusion criteria. It's really helpful for them.
We're going to pay attention to the schedule of assessments, so that's where everything is listed out as to what's being done, and make sure we haven't missed anything, because some of the pieces of data that we may end up collecting aren't actually part of the endpoints
So what's the data, when is it collected, what type of calculations might we be doing. All of those things are things that are in a protocol that are gonna influence the design of the solution.
And what we need to do is take all this information from the protocol and put it together and say okay, what would we really recommend here.
But we're also kind of taking a step back and thinking, what is the best solution for this. Okay. This is what they want to collect, this is how they're thinking about running the study. What is the right modality. And we have various modalities. Now, in our solutions, we have hand-held devices, we have tablets, we have an app, we have ah web-based types of modalities.
And so we're gonna make sure we pay particular attention to that so that we collect that with the highest data quality possible.

Now, I know less than nothing about sports, but it would appear that former San Diego Padres pitcher Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on a weekend when he'd had quite a few more than no 'hits' himself – but rather than the steroids that baseball players usually opt for if they are interested in chemical additives, he was in the midst of a quite powerful and protracted LSD trip.
I can't imagine being able to do this myself…but then again, I suck at sports. For a pro ball player, it's probably a lot more doable. (Animated by New York artists No Mas.)
