Town Green status would protect the Rec
Posted: February 07, 2013
|I am writing in response to letters from Mr Frith and Mr Waterson. It is a pity that they did not actually bother to read the application for Town Green status or the council notice printed in the same Chronicle; that would have given them contact information and answers to most of the questions raised.
The application is detailed and a serious attempt to resolve the long-term future of the Recreation Ground. This is not the case with the flawed trustee's 'scheme'. The application explains why Town Green status is necessary, in order to protect the Recreation Ground as open space, which it must remain in perpetuity. This is not just my view but also that of English law via the 1956 conveyance and covenant; confirmed by the High Court in 2002; set up in the charity objectives of 2002 by the Charity Commission and abused by all the trustees before and since. Others were associated with the application and it could be that the Town Green approach may meet more of the views of the silent majority.
Only the professional rugby club is affected. All those involved with the Recreation Ground agree that Bath Rugby's occupation is illegal so only their removal can resolve the issue.
Even if they were legal they have clearly outgrown the Rec and should not be permitted to push other legal users off, to satisfy their commercial activities. None of the legal amateur users at present or in the future or any charitable events would be affected by the Town Green status. It would not change the Bath Recreation Ground Trust.
None of the other proposals gave financial figures or what any developments might look like, even if they were legal.
The Town Green application however addresses the income for the Bath Recreation Ground Trust showing that it does not need income from the rugby club to survive and it requires no development.

Alfred Hitchcock: The Man in Black and White
Despite the absence of the colour spectra and amidst the recurrence of cigarette burns, there is always something beautifully strange about films in noir. Behind the endless reels and moving frames, though, there will always be film cameras bound to immortalize the unseen scenes in-the-making. Just in time for Halloween, let us take a peek into the black and white behind-the-scene photographs of Alfred Hitchcock's heart-pounding films.

Waka Flocka will release a new mixtape, Roaches to Rollies, today. On "Ice Cream," a track taken from the tape, he takes jabs at Gucci Mane, from whom he's been estranged since March:
And when I met Gucci, thought I met a real nigga
Until he crossed the line, then he became a fuck nigga
He continues:
Used to be my nigga, now you jealous, where the love at?
No loyalty, you put money over all that
Fuck this industry, cause the streets know the real facts
P.S. Don't get caught in that, this ain't for promotion
All in your feelings, all in your emotions
Just for attention, you cause all of this commotion
Nigga you just talking you don't really want your business in the open
Earlier this week, Gucci Mane was sentenced to 183 days in jail, following a September parole violation.

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
User Reviews
There are 8 user reviews for the C250 Coupe trim shown below
- Pros
- Acceleration, interior, sporty exterior, technology
- Cons
- none
Purchased As New
Purchased mine on 10/1/11. blk/blk with nav, p1 package. Traded in a 2005 C230 Kompressor sport sedan. I was a little hesitant about what power it would have based on the hp figures. I was wrong. This vehicle has plenty of power. Much faster than my C230 which was a supercharged 1.8. Remember the torque is higher than the C300, plus peaks at only 2200rpms!! Also has a much improved 7 sp tranny. In sport mode the vehicle starts in first with higher shift points(redline), economy mode starts in third gear with lower shift points. The car defaults to economy mode when first started. I think some testers never switched to sport mode. Besides The plentiful acceleration,This car handles like a dream thanks to the standard agility control. The photos of this vehicle don't do it justice. In person this vehicle is definately sharp with an aggressive look to it. The redesigned interior is top notch, and filled to the brim with technology including full voice control and the latest gen nav. The harmon kardon is a must. I already have over 500miles on mine and unlike some reviewers who have not driven or owned one, I can tell you that Mercedes definately has a winner here.
Considered 3 series coupe (3 grand more with same options and dated body style), A5 ( even more $$ when equiped with same options as C)1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

The inn at Crossed Roads wasn't home, but when Sylvie returned to it after a few days' jaunt to explore, it felt closer to one than most places she had been to.
Nico seemed to be at home everywhere and with everyone. Over the weeks preceding their expedition she had snuck under the walls Sylvie had built around herself by simply acting like them becoming friends was natural. The casual touches—a hand to the elbow to get attention, a pat on the shoulder—had shown Sylvie how she had distanced herself from people, simply because these things had become so unusual to her.
The few days of trekking through wilderness meanwhile had shown Sylvie that she wasn't used any more to carrying her whole gear on her back. She would take care of that as soon as she put the pack down in her room.
Hellos and welcomes slowed that down a bit, but thanks to Nico promising a full report later they made it through.
"Not a very informative trip, but thanks for coming," Sylvie said on the doorstep.
"At least it was entertaining. Would you like a shoulder-rub?"
Startled by the sudden change of topic without a change of tone, Sylvie stopped rubbing the back of her neck and couldn't think of the proper answer.
"You would not be imposing. If you'd like to be talked into it, just nod." Nico kept prattling on, grinning, right over Sylvie's stifled laughter, "And I'm good at it, or so I'm told, and doing something you're good at tends to be fun, and doing something that makes a friend feel good tends to do the same—"
"All right, I'm convinced."
They shed packs, shoes, and jackets and ended up sitting on the bed, near the edge. Sylvie folded her hands loosely in her lap and tried to relax. She could feel Nico's knee lightly touching her thigh, warmth seeping through the cloth. Warmer still were Nico's hands, gently kneading the tension out from between Sylvie's shoulders.
But in turn her chest seized up. Sylvie took deep, even breaths, trying to smooth away that attack of nerves. She didn't want to cry, even less than usual when she couldn't even explain why.
"Hey," Nico said gently, concern shimmering through her tone, "this exercise is meant to relax you. Am I doing something wrong?" Her hands rested lightly on Sylvie's shoulders.
"No. I don't know." After an unsteady breath, Sylvie noticed that she was leaning into Nico's touch, and said the first thing that came to mind. "Could you just hold me for a bit?"
"Sure. Let me just…" Without loosing touch of Sylvie, Nico scooted back against the wall and stuffed the cushion in the small of her back.
Sylvie followed her slight pull and leaned against the smaller woman's chest.
"Comfy?" Nico put an arm around Sylvie's back.
Sylvie shifted a little, nestling her face against Nico's neck. "Mhm. You?"
"Me, too." She stroked Sylvie's back lightly.
"I'm sorry—"
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Nico almost whispered. "You can have as much of my time as you want."
Sylvie relaxed. She listened to Nico's heartbeat, and moved with her breath. Soon she was breathing in when Nico breathed out. The rhythm of the strokes on her back fit in there somewhere. When she cried, it was not painful, just her eyes flowing over with warm tears. Breath, heartbeat, thoughts, everything slowed.
Feeling warm and protected and accepted, Sylvie drifted into sleep.
Somehow people got the impression Nico had a signature outfit, so I went and sketched her in other costumes.
That is, practise for me to get the pose about right. Anybody who knows what they'Re doing up for offering corrections or other feedback?
I heard Nico approach, and didn't hide from her. I could not... well, if she was looking for me, she'd go on, and who knows in what trouble she'd end up.
She took a breath and stood still when she noticed me. She must have looked at me for a while, I guess. I didn't look at her. Eventually she sat down next to me.
Nico had the vague impression that the impact crater was too small for the body that had caused it. She also had the distinct impression that the molten mass at the bottom, deep iridescent green like beetle wings, was not a meteorite, particularly when it started moving.
It flowed together and rose, like a slime mold attempting to take on a humanoid form.
A psychic message flooded Nico's mind, which put it in words as "Fear not!"
After a moment's pause, she answered, "If you're going to tell me I'm pregnant, there will be trouble."
That left the angel confused.
Some thoughts want to circle in your mind endlessly, stealing time, blurring focus. Doubts and worries are fond of that. They crave attention. They need some of it, rightfully, too, but take as much as they can get.
I've found that some rituals help. I guess it's how confessionals help those that belong to a church that practices it.
I don't, so I had to try and come up with my own way to take those thoughts out of my head so I could have a good look at them, giving them what they wanted, with the effect that I needed.
That's why I spent more time than some people liked carving the names of friends on little wood plackets, and "be safe" on the reverse, and burned them. Carving takes more time than writing. Fingers and eyes work, the mind remembers the person. My worries for my absent friends go up in smoke and crumble to ashes.
Today's problem is harder. The people I killed yesterday... I don't know their names. I hardly know their faces. What I have to focus on to anchor them outside my head is their deaths, my blade cutting their flesh, their blood covering my hands.
There is still the impulse to fight guilt with justifications and apologies, when what is needed is one undiluted prayer: Rest in peace.
Light played on the iridescent feathers of the Kingfisher mask. The huge, dark glass eyes looked strange. An enticing danger, a challenge. Or mockery?
Nico shook her head and looked around her room. It was small, the mask was bulky, and she was foolish for not re-selling it. Though she wasn't so short on either cash or space she couldn't afford a bit of sentimentality. That was all there was to it. Right?
There were people in town she could consult to find out if the mask was enchanted or haunted. But quite apart from the cost, she didn't want to. She was quite sure the feeling of being someone slightly different when wearing it was all in her head. It was the same in other situations where she had to, or wanted to, pretend.
And if she was wrong? Well, it would be rude poking into the mind of anything with a personality, particularly if you liked him. It. Whatever.
That was a better reason than, I like the little thrill of this doubt.
Nico ambled away from the main hubbub of the party, and found Daaren on the veranda, apparently watching the gardens. She propped herself up next to him, and asked conversationally, "So, why'd you leave?"
The view from the shoulder of the Tellanot - that's a mountain, in case you didn't know - is amazing. If you inch right to the edge of the cliff, and lean forward, You get a feeling almost like falling up into the sky.
I guess I was caught up in admiring it a bit too much, for the next thing that happened was that I fell down past the ground; the edge had crumbled. I twisted and tried to grab the new edge, and Daaren successfully grabbed my wrist, and well, the usual you'd expect happened. With me down the cliffside and him flat on the path, he said, "Don't look down."
I looked him in the face while trying to find some purchase with my other hand, and feet, and asked, "Sure, but tell me why."
He didn't answer until we were lying both on sound rock, panting, myself more than him. Sound rock has benefits, too.
Then he answered, "I thought you might get stupid ideas. Like jumping."
Made me laugh until I couldn't breathe at all anymore. Right to the point, that's him.
Another image I had in mind for quite a while, and then went and actually drew since it fit a Sketch Fest prompt. This one is a rather large format for me, somewhat bigger than A3.
I might go back to this and add more details and shading.
Comments and feedback are always appreciated!

Sessegnon snatches a point for Sunderland
Sunderland 2 Aston Villa 2
Stephane Sessegnon snatched a point for Sunderland in a storming finish at the Stadium of Light which completely eclipsed the much-publicised return of Darren Bent.
Benin international Sessegnon stooped to nod home a Sebastian Larsson free-kick with one minute left after Richard Dunne had appeared to win it for Villa.
Dunne had risen highest to head the visitors back in front five minutes earlier after Connor Wickham had cancelled out Stilyan Petrov's stunning 20th-minute opener.
Bent, who was booed throughout on his first return to Wearside since his January move south, had missed a fine chance in the 70th minute when he shot straight at substitute keeper Kieran Westwood.
It had been clear from the pre-match warm-up that Bent was set for a torrid afternoon on Wearside after his controversial move to Villa in January.
And the striker was a virtual passenger in much of the early action with the main threat coming from Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson, who fired a pair of dangerous free-kicks.
Bent got the chance he had been waiting for in the 16th minute when Emile Heskey's cross found the striker at the far post but he prodded wide under pressure from Keiran Richardson.
And Villa snatched the lead in stunning fashion in the 20th minute when Petrov was fed by Alan Hutton and lashed a stunning shot for only his sixth goal in 167 Villa appearances.
Sunderland came close to grabbing an equaliser within two minutes, when Bendtner found the head of Turner in front of goal but the defender headed inches over.
And they fashioned another chance in the 27th minute when Wickham headed goalwards in a crowded box but Stephen Warnock headed clear with keeper Shay Given stranded.
The home side snatched their equaliser in the 38th minute when Sessegnon turned Hutton and fed Wickham, who drove home a fine left-foot shot from 10 yards.
The Black Cats defence was still giving cause for concern and they had a mighty let-off in the 42nd minute when Petrov's free-kick trickled unchallenged across the face of goal.
Westwood got his first taste of Premier League action five minutes into the second half when Mignolet appeared to suffer a broken nose in the course of flapping away a Petrov corner.
The home side enjoyed their best spell of the game with James Collins twice forced to clear from dangerous positions, and Bendtner heading just over on the hour.
The home side had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Chris Foy in the 63rd minute when Bendtner met Larsson's cross from the right with a header which struck Hutton at close-range.
Larsson came close in the 70th minute after Chris Herd fouled Bendtner on the edge of the box and the midfielder's curling free-kick was well saved by Given.
And moments later Bent almost caught Sunderland out at the other end when he charged onto Herd's long ball before being pulled back for fouling Wes Brown as he wriggled clear.
As the game exploded into life, Westwood had his moment of glory when he got down to deny Bent from close-range after the striker had been put through by Gabriel Agbonlahor.
But Villa snatched back the lead in the 84th minute when Petrov lofted a free-kick from the left side of the box and Dunne climbed to head home.
Just when it seemed Villa had done enough to snatch the points, the home side roared back and Sessegnon headed home an 89th-minute equaliser from Larsson's free-kick.

KAR Auction Services Inc. Stock Downgraded (KAR)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- KAR Auction Services (NYSE:KAR) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, revenue growth and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company has favored debt over equity in the management of its balance sheet.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Services & Supplies industry. The net income increased by 267.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$14.30 million to $23.90 million.
- The revenue growth significantly trails the industry average of 34.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, implying reduced upside potential.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Commercial Services & Supplies industry and the overall market, KAR AUCTION SERVICES INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.75 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio is weak, KAR's quick ratio is somewhat strong at 1.14, demonstrating the ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.

Public records, open meetings and free-speech issues
The Columbus Dispatch - September 12, 2013 10:54 AM
Sadly, the findings of a public-records audit released today by the office of state Auditor Dave Yost are not startling.
In a sampling of 20 cities and counties, the auditor's staff found 40 percent were not ideally, or legally, handling requests from the public for the people's records.
The problems range from not properly tracking requests to failing to keep copies of emails to a prosecutor and sheriff failing to follow the law by not adopting record-retention schedules specifying how long records must be saved before they are destroyed.
Problems long have afflicted how government at all levels responds to public-records requests. Too many still delay and deny in defiance of state laws demanding transparency.
Yost, himself a former Columbus newspaper reporter who championed public records access as Delaware County prosecutor, could only describe himself as "disappointed" at the findings of his staff. "We've just got to do better," he said.
As noted by Ohio Coalition for Open Government President Dennis Hetzel: "It's still kind of a mess, and it doesn't appear to be getting any better than it was 10 years ago."
The number of taxpayers who still reach for a pen to fill out a tax form continues to shrink.
New Internal Revenue Service numbers show that 91 percent of individual tax returns filed this year by taxpayers doing their own work or using a preparer were filed electronically. That's 122.5 million returns.
Ford couldn't have asked for a better debut for its newly designed Mustang, with the top-rated morning news show in the country, ABC's Good Morning America, broadcasting the event live.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan gave a shout out to Ohio State's Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching program to a group of about 7,000 financial-aid professional at conference in Las Vegas yesterday.
Duncan said he was excited to be at the conference because he wanted both to celebrate the "critical but unrecognized work that financial aid officers to every day throughout" and to encourage them to take an even larger role in creating a better financial-aid system for students across the country.
In August, President Barack Obama unveiled a set of new federal education initiatives that will help the nation with its college affordability and student debt problem.

Fun! Baby Name Polls
Hone your baby naming skills and help others. Which baby names are best?
Show polls from: today | last seven days | last four weeks | all
Sort by: most recent | most comments | most votes
Which 1 I already have a son Brayden and a daughter Emma and my name is kyerra and I'm married to Eric! So choose
I love the name Elianna (this spelling) but want to use the nickname Elli. Is it okay to use 1 L in her full name but 2 Ls in her nickname? Thanks..
Which one for my twin girlies?
This is our final poll! Our little boy will be joining older brothers Dashiell and Prescott. Thanks to everyone who helps! -Jennifer and Drake
Both my husband and I are twin (I have an identical twin sister and he has a twin sister also) so it's not a surprise were expecting our second set of twins. We already have Colton and Cambri (5). Now we are expecting identical twin girls and want to give them the same first initial names since our other twins have same initial names. We've fallen in love with the name Brooklyn so were hoping we can find a names that start with a B just as much. But so far we've been out of luck. Please suggest B names but also other names if we can't find another B name. They're due Dec. 27. Thanks, Julie
We are expecting our first girl. Which name is best?
We can't decide on a name. You advice is appreciated.
I'm Brooke, my husband Alec and I are expecting our 4th child. We have Callie, Drew, and Emily. We are having another little girl. We want to continue our pattern, but we are having a hard time finding any names that start with the letter F that we really like. We really appreciate your help.
Thanks- Alec, Brooke, Callie, Drew Emily and baby
I really like this combo, but it's been pointed out that Cathair (it's Irish and is pronounced KA-heer) is "cat hair." Is this a problem? What do you think about the names? Thanks!
For our son. We like all three, thanks to everyone!
Hey again! We are looking for full names for Ellie, Ella, and Eli. We have Penelope on our list already, would Ellie work as a nickname for it? We don't like Elizabeth/Eloise/Elodie/Eleanor for Ella (or Ellie) and we like Stella/Elsa/Elsie but they are too short to us to use a nickname for them. We also don't like Elijah for Eli. Are there any other possibilities? Sorry to post again, but thanks for all the help you've given us! (If you didn't catch our other poll, we have a son named William Brett Jr. who goes by Liam) Thanks again!
I'm a single mom to be to a little girl, I know I would like her middle name to be Katherine and the last name is Jacobs. Could you suggest some first names! I'm not really sure what kind of names I like so any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Hannah

*update. Version2.0 now up, this time it has a menu with some additional information to give some sense to the animation
Heres my newest but unfortunately not my most original piece of work submission to Newgrounds after a long time hiatus due to my job and life.
Just a note that this animation is inspired/base off from another animation called "kansuto2.swf" if you guys saw it, I'm doing a tribute animation to it.
The purpose of this flash is to work out on my effect and motion tweening skills. In the future I hope to submit more original content and not works being inspired and base off someone else's.
Rated 3 / 5 stars June 4, 2009
good arting
its beautiful art work, but the story is "BORING!!!"
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars May 13, 2009
why not on youtube?
You don't want your work to be exposed to a larger audience? You want to limit yourself? You hate youtube? Or maybe your a credit whore?
I'm cant understand why some animtors don't want their work on youtube and now its starting to shit me becasue ever since egoraper and that brawl taunts fagger where like "OmMg YouTubE i sEVil Flash SteAlerS!" slowly slowly more animators are blindly becoming anti-youtube and they don't even know why.
its already on youtube on my own account, I just dont want shitty laggy video captures by other people.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars June 6, 2010
Epic? This is ass. There wasn't even any speech, the music sucked and practically every second word had a spelling mistake. This is balls.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars May 14, 2009
I...think I've seen this before...
The music and animation style...I saw something like this with a set of generic monsters and a couple of fighters. One was a wolfman with an axe while the other was a catman with a sword... Did you do that one as well? I think it's called matatabiasobi....you can look it up on Youtube...
Not saying you ripped this off, you might be the original artist, for all I know. I'm just saying...
Your animation quality is better, but understand that I can't give this a full score because of that.
Again, if you did the other/original one, then feel free to ignore this whole reveiw...
like I said, not my most original work, I already wrote this in my comments and in my flash. please just read at least. its a tribute flash to that animation, and yes, its uses the same song and takes some of the scenes from it.

This is a campaign where all players take turns in DMing. We play the Darkmoon Vale-Series Modules so far.
Perched at the edge of civilized lands, the small town of Falcon's Hollow has always had to rely on itself to solve its problems. Meanwhile, the uncaring lumber barons squeeze the common folk for every last copper, deaf to their pleas. Now the hacking coughs of the sick are heard throughout town. The plague has come to Falcon's Hollow and the town's leaders can't be bothered to stop it.
Here is our gameplay-thread. Let´s assume, that each one of you has a relative or friend in Falcon´s Hollow, that suffers from blacksour, a disease that appeared recently. You traveled there to find a cure for your friend/relative and right now visit a herbalist-store named "Roots and Remedies". Just create your own hook to get things going...
Creeping ivy and full window boxes cover the façade of the rugged-looking, two-story shop bearing the faded sign "Roots and Remedies." A line of twenty-some somber townsfolk—some with pale, wheezing children, others seeming to be precipitously near tears—stretches from the open door.
Such a long line of waiting people? Can´t anybody get them some chairs? Standing that long must be straining...
With these words, the chubby wizard takes place on his carried folding-chair. A small monkey climbs with a drowsy gaze on its face into his lap and takes a nap there.
I wonder if they have a remedy for Verthel´s disease in there... If they have, maybe it´s already sold-out...
A strangely dark "halfling" rides into town taking in the place as has wooly "dog" trots down the the middle of the road pausing to smell a scent here and there. Seeing the line at Roots and Remedies the small man looks less than pleased. I'll catch the Plague myself if I were to wait in that line all day. he thinks to himself. My "father's" friend Thomas sure looked sick though. I just have to help him. I do home they have something to help[i/]
Ki ties up his mount well away from the line of sick people and removes a cloth from a saddlebag. As he walks towards the line he ties the cloth over his mouth and nose so that he breaths through it. [i]Likely will not help a bit. he thinks as he joins the line behind a pump man in a chair. Looking at the man he asks with concern You are not sick are you? And then Is that a monkey? I thought it a small dog at first.
No, not at all, thanks for asking! I hope, you aren´t sick either. This here is Snorey, my little helper and good friend! I dubbed him so, because drowsiness is his second name - always sleeping that cute little rascal! My name is Bollon and how do you like being called?
The bearded face seems for a moment a bit displeased.
Oh, excuse me...
Bollon opens his pack and gets a fluffy downs-pillow out of it. He puts it on his folding-chair.
Yes! That is much better! There is power in tranquility, no?
Snorey opens one sleepy eye. He looks quite uninterested at the dark stranger. Finally, he turns around, buries his face into Bollon´s tummy and sleeps on...
Me. Friends call me Ki. And no. Not sick at all, yet. I hope to stay that way. He reaches out a timid hand towards Snorey as if to pet the creature. May I? Oh, he is not sick is he? Ki pulls back his hand unsure now. I have heard this shop might have something for what is going around. If not a cure, at least something for the symptoms, right? A friend of the family has come down with it and, well, I was sent to see if I could help out. Seems there is a near outbreak of it up these parts.
After a moment Ki observes This line is not moving at all. Have you had a look inside? He stands on his tip toes trying to peer into the shop. This won't do. It just wont do. He looks a little perplexed, as if he is tempted to do something but is thinking better of it, at least for now.
The line is moving indeed, but rather slowly. At this speed, it may well take an hour to reach the shop.
Oh, he isn´t sick at all. It seems to me, that this disease only affects human beings. Snorey likes being petted pretty much, so feel free to do him the favor.
My brother Verthel got infected and that´s why we´re here after all. I guess, the two of us have heard the same rumors, Ki.
As a short time has passed, Bollon wonders:
Are you sure, you want to stand there all the time? Maybe a bit of relaxing would do you good?
[b]Are you offering me your chair Bollon? I could not. I am young, and well, I am not at all tired. That's it.
Waiting for others to join us before doing something "disruptive". :)
A Dwarf approaches the end of the line wearing a worn leather smiths apron with a hammer embossed on the front. His long red hair is pulled up into a single topknot, his beard split into two thick braids adorned with several metal and stone beads.
He takes note of the queue length and furls his bushy brow and lets out a slightly frustrated sigh.
Waitin' long? he asks in the direction of the last few in line as he clasps his hands high above his head stretching his shoulders and back grunting slightly as he does.
Not at all, master dwarf. We just spent a few minutes with a pleasant conversation. But it seems, that a bit of waiting may lie in front of us. Are you this town´s smith?
Prepared standard spells for today.
Kestrel looks around the town, trying to take stock of the place she has just arrived. She snaps her cloak a few times to shake out the trail dust, and takes a moment to adjust her load. The old hermit said that they should have what she needed here; something to treat the illness that was slowly killing her.
The town did not look like much... Falcon's Hollow... The name had potential at least. Maybe it was a sign of good luck.
She was still not sure what made her decide to check out that old cabin; perhaps the look of having been maintained until recently, but then abandoned in the near past. The roof was unmended and looked like it would leak, the garden looked past harvesting time, but the plants were still in the ground, and overgrown with weeds. Whatever led her there, she was glad she had gone, since the woman was bedridden and might have died without a little simple care. Some food, some washing, and a little mending, and she would be alright for a few days until she got back with the medicine. The woman said she felt she could last that long.
Kestrel stood taking stock of the shops and houses, until she spotted the one she was looking for, "Roots and Remedies." A line of people stretched out of the small building, and some of them looked sick. One was holding a monkey.
A monkey? And who, or what, is that with him? A black-skinned gnome? Hmm. Well, whatever this strange crew is here for, it's none of my business.
Kestrel ignored the line and strode up to the door of the shop. She excused herself in order to squeeze past the people standing in the doorway, ignoring their dirty looks. Once in the shop, she takes a look around to find the proprietor and ask about this medicine.
To those observing, a young woman approaches the store, looking around and studying the town for a moment, before heading towards the shop. She briefly eyes the monkey, and looks the Wayang up and down with a curious glance. She is short and slim, and covered with trail dust. She is carrying an array of gear that makes her look like a woodswoman of some sort, but one that is ready for trouble as she wears a chain shirt, carries a longbow, and has a large axe strapped to her back. Strangest though is that she appears to have deep blue feathers growing from her ears that sweep up to an elf-like peak. Though her hood is drawn up, more feathers can be briefly glimpsed throughout her hair. After looking things over for a moment, she ignores the line, and shoulders her way into the shop and disappears.
Smith, yes but not of this town. Uncle and I came down from Taggoret collectin' resources. Stopped in to sleep and gather supplies 'fore headin' back up an now he's fallen ill. This blasted bug is evadin' all help I tried with Torag's aid, I jus can't put the life back in him. He says shaking his head.
He rubs his eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, covers his mouth as a yawn forms and shakes it off.
Whoo! Shoulda brought 'nother pot o' coffee along.
He pats his hand on his breeches and extends it out for a shake.
Thorid. I'm guessin' yer here ta see about a cure fer someone too. An' given' ye asked if I'm the smith ye're passin' through as well, eh?
He suddenly realizes there's a monkey snuggled up to the man. Hah! Yer babie's a bit fuzzier than ye! He muses.
A tall lumberjack steps into Kestrel´s way. Where do you think you´re goin´? What´s wrong with you? Wait at the end of the queue like we all do FOR NEARLY AN HOUR!
That must be quite straining for you. I can very well understand your situation. My brother has fallen ill, too. I can tell you: Arcane magic was of no help either.
Seeing the dwarf´s apparent lack of sleep:
Maybe you need some, sleep? If you like, I can get you some medicine, too. We don´t have to wait both in this queue, do we?
@Thorid: Maybe you don´t want to agree to this, because it would hinder your entry into the story. But the comment seemed just so plausible to me considering Bollon´s alignment and background.
...and my name is Bollon. Yes, me, my brother and little Snorey here came with our waggon to this place.
At the comment about the 'baby', Bollon laughs heartily:
Hahahaha! Until now, nobody took Snorey for a baby, but I guess, one cannot be sure. No, Snorey is a magic-infused monkey. He is my little friend and helper. I would call him servant, too, but he is much to lazy for that.
Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
"I didn't come here to wait in a line, I came her to ask after this herbalist. If you have all been waiting as long as you say, perhaps I can find out what the delay is, or perhaps render her some assistance that will allow everyone to be seen faster, yes? Now, you will excuse me."
Kestrel does not wait for a response, as it was a statement and not a question.
If he moves to block her, she will take advantage of her small size to duck and slip past him into the hut.
Acrobatics to move through a threatened square: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19. She won't be trying anything fancy, just weaving past him.
Make a diplomacy-check DC 14 to see, if he accepts your good reasons.
Diplomacy (Untrained): 1d20 ⇒ 15
Got lucky...
I appreciate the offer, Mr Bollon but I'll not put ye out. And t'be honest I need s'me fresh air... and patience. He grumbles the last words of the statement.
Oh and 'course I've not mistaken Mr Snorey fer a human tot. 'twas just ta add some light fun. He catches a glimpse of the queue jumping ahead.
Eghh, seems 'nother soul be short of patience. He nods in the direction of Kestrel as she darts around the lumberjack. Hope that one's not stirrin' up fire ants. Got bigger stones to shape, no time ta try make peace on this line.
Thorid crosses his arms across his chest and watches to see what happens next, shaking his head disapprovingly.
The lumberjack barks at the rest of the line:
Let tha woman through! Sure she´ll help Laurel gettin´ more medicine!
It seems that the brazen girl made it into the hut without being chased down by the poor people in the queue...
Maybe she is right not waiting here outside. Why does it take so damn long? Can´t be that difficult to distribute some medicine to peasants and lumberjacks, can it?
Thorid shrugs 'spose if the folks been here longer 'n me don't have a problem with 'er...
Thorid bends down and picks up a stone. Gently tossing it in the air and catching it over and over to pass the time.
Poor luck, this. Been in town only three days and the illness struck hard. Suppose' ta be returnin' ta Taggoret two days from now but need ta get Uncle Ulrock back healthy an' be sure he's not contiguous. He catches the stone and holds it in his hand realizing he's been fidgeting.
Mr Bollon, how long've you been in Falcon's Hollow?
"Mostly waiting. It seems the people here are very frustrated. I met someone in need in a cottage nearby; she seems to have come down with some sickness. From the sound of it, there are others here who have the same illness. I came here to get medicines for her, to try and cure her. With all these people here and the line moving so slowly, I wonder, have you run into difficulty curing this illness? If you are running short of any of your herbs, I might be able to help find them in the woods hereabouts."
Ki listens to the dwarf and human talk for a bid, mostly to pass the time. Not polite to cut in line like that. he comments to no one in particular. Would not go over back home at the Hill. he finishes.
At a pause in the conversation Ki interjects All these people, all sick of the same thing. I wonder what they have in common? It the sickness spreading person to person? If so we are in danger just being in town. But it could be some other source. The water supply? A common food? Any thoughts?
@Thorid: I´ve been here only a few days either. I just told my brother, that I wanted to rest a bit here as to gather strength for the upcoming journey... Bad luck on both of us, he?
@Ki Sounds all possible. Maybe that apothecary knows more?
Ah, finally, the queue moves a bit... I guess it won´t take longer than half an hour from now on...
Thanks a lot, you seem to be sent by Sarenrae herself! Indeed I am lacking a few ingredients. But collecting them could be harmful. Well, I mean, you look able-bodied and all that, but I fear, that it is too much to ask from a single person what I require. Maybe you could gather some like-minded folks to help? Maybe some of those lumberjacks out in the queue there?
"Why would gathering herbs be dangerous, or is it more than mere plants that we'll be after? The people out there are getting frustrated; is the reason for the delay a lack of ingredients? If so, you should say something to them. Desperation and disappointment can cause people to great lengths."
The overworked herbalist looks a bit annoyed for a moment. I am frustrated, too. I do what I can to help, but nothing really seems to cure that cursed Blackscour. For the moment, I can only alleviate some of the symptoms of the disease, to ease peoples´ suffering. So I looked into an old book my grandmother gave me. It tells of three very rare herbs that grow at strange and isolated places. That´s why I think it will be dangerous. The Vale isn´t for those soft of heart. If we don´t try this, people might not only be disappointed, they will die. So please, I really think that we need all help we can get!"
"Hmm. I was only here to do someone a favour... I don't really even know her. I was willing to gather herbs for you in the forest, but even then, I was hoping to get a little pay out of it. What you're suggesting sounds more like a quest than an errand. What kind of pay would me and this crew of volunteers get? Either from you, or the townspeople? Is there a Lord here who would pay, or a Shire Reeve maybe?"
A tall, lightly-dressed man with a fair complexion and a permanent soft smile affixed to his face approaches the queue. "You're all wating to come inside the Roots and Remedies?" he asks no-one in particular. Realizing this might have been a stupid thing to say aloud, he picks up a string of grass and puts it in his mouth, sitting down right there on the earth, looking quite relaxed.
Inside "Pay you!? I'll pay you in…! Well, I suppose I'm not doing all this for free either. If nothing else, this whole thing's been good for business. Sadly, there is no one taking responsibility for this whole mess, neither a lord nor a reeve. How about this, you come back with everything I need to brew the medicine and I'll cut you in: 150 gold for you and anyone also helping together. Fair?
Outside The queue is getting shorter by the minute. There are only a few people left in front of you.
"I suppose it will have to do." Kestrel extends her hand in order to shake on the deal. "If you could gather up the names and descriptions of the herbs you are looking for, as well as the environments or places that they are likely to be found, I will see if I can't find some other volunteers."
Kestrel readjusts her hood to minimize the view of her feathered hair. Great, speech time. Not a great way to keep people from noticing you...
She steps out of the herb shop and addresses the folks in line, "Hey, ah, folks, people? I've been talking to the herbalist here, and she said that she doesn't have the herbs that are needed to cure this disease. All she can do so far is to make some remedies that make you feel a bit better while your body tries its best to recover. However, she says that she knows of some rare ingredients that might be able to make a cure; a real cure, something that will help everyone who is sick, and make sure no one else dies from it. She says that these herbs are in some remote places, and that they are not the safest areas to travel. I'm a Ranger, a wilderness guide, and I think that with a little help, I can get there, but I could use the help of some other blades and bows in case there is trouble on the way. The herbalist says that she'll pay for the help, and you'll be helping all the sick people in this village besides. Any volunteers?"
Snorey jumps up. He races in front of Kestrel and makes a quite excited dance. He gestures at Bollon who looks quite embarassed. All this is accompanied by Snorey´s wild screaming.
Bollon, clearly not amused about his little friend, states annoyed: Oh boy! What do you do there? Have you lost your mind? We are not the right people for this kind of task! I´m pretty sure, there are professionals around to do this kind of... adventures! He stresses the last word with a little bit of contempt.
Guard? Guard? Can anybody please help this well-trained wilderness-guide?
As only a few respond to Kestrels asking, Bollon looks a bit angry for a moment and steps forward. Damn you Verthel! Why have you gotten sick? Why?
He turns to Kestrel. I have neither bow nor blade, but my brother is sick and I guess, I have to deserve my rest in the following days. Do you accept claws, teeth and spells as a help on your quest?
"Spells would be more than welcome. I am Kestrel." She extends a hand.
The little monkey bows to Kestrel and makes a cute little squeak. After that, he climbs on Bollon´s shoulder and into the hood of his cloak.
Maybe that´s what a little monkey calls a hammock...
Bollon smiles friendly. My name is Bollon and this little prankster is my Snorey. I am glad to meet you... Dooo yooouuu...
The full figured wizard hesitates a bit.
Do you think, we can take a carriage to these places you mentioned?
"I don't know the precise location we are going yet, the herbalist is looking it up now, but... I kind of doubt it. Do you own a good sturdy pair of boots?"
Bollon seems to feel uncomfortable just at the thought of walking such a long distance.
Yeeeessss, I have boots... but walking eight hours a day? Do you know how easily one gets blisters at the feet from things like this? Maybe I will ride half of the time and walk the other half. That way, my caboose and my feet share the encumbrance...
With acted anger, he turns to Snorey: I should have got myself a fine horse instead of you. Would have alleviated the journey and it surely would not have drawn me into this...
Nevertheless friend Kestrel - You´ve got my spells and extraplanar creatures on your side.
Snorey grins and thereby shows his little needle-pointed teeth at Bollons words. He looks at him from his still sleepy eyes, turns around in the hood and some minutes later, everyone around knows, how this particular monkey has gotten its name...
The tall smiling fellow stands up again and speaks softly: "If I may be useful in getting the cure, I'll help. It's better than passively sitting here waiting for someone to bring it."
I was waiting for Ki to volunteer before moving on, but I'll go ahead since DB is getting antsy.
"Well, that makes three..." she hears the monkey snoring and leans out to one side to catch a glimpse of the lump of fur in Bollon's hood. "Er, three and a half. Lets head in and see if the apothecary has figured out where we need to go."
Gounar follows the pretty ranger inside, greeting the apothecary with a smile and a nod as he comes in.
Aye, no sense standin' about. Let's find out what's needed an get started 'fore this sick gets worse.
Thorid joins the group headed into the herbalist shop, extending his hand he introduces himself to all he has not yet met. Thorid Bofack, servant of Torag, the forge father. I'm prepared ta lend any assistance I can.
As the colorful collection of strangers enters Roots and Remedies, the apothecary looks up from her working desk.
I'm impressed. You have returned and you brought others. So shall we proceed? What questions do you have?
"I think the questions should be pretty self explanatory; you said that there is a recipe you know that may cure this disease, and that the ingredients are rare, and you need us to gather them. So, what are the ingredients you need us to gather, what to they look like and how can we be sure to identify them, and where are they likely to be found?"
Thorid scratches his beard and raises his hand. An' the quantity. Be a shame ta go out collectin' herbs an' return with too little. I ain't much good with plants but should we try ta bring back seeds or dig up a plant, roots 'n all so ya can plant it in yer garden?
Ki seems to snap out of a daze finally and takes in the scene. What? theline still not moving. This will never do. Once he understands that a group is going out to help gather the proper herbs he is all for it. Count me in, of course. Anything to speed up getting an antidote for my father's friend. And I am packed and ready to move. Just let me fetch my mount.
All help is welcome. Your aid will be appreciated. Well, healer? Can you tell us what we need to know?"
Gounar just stands there, observing the surroundings and the apothecary herself very carefully, even somewhat awkward, as if he wants to memorize every detail of this place forever. It's hard to say what's going on in his mind, but he seems to be awaiting her reply to Kestrel's question.

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart… I'll always be with you."
― A.A. Milne
Powerful & creative imagery
the food and education made me sad.
I have always been fascinated by these 'world of 100 people' things, I remember spending hours thinking through the ones on a poster at church when I was 9 or so. It really, really makes some really important stuff so blindingly clear, in numbers we can understand. And it should, I hope it does, inspire us to act.
Amazing post.

Comet ISON, presumed dead after its sun-grazing trip yesterday, may have survived … maybe. Something survived, anyway. This NASA image from the SOHO satellite shows a smaller, diffuse tail reforming on Nov. 29th:
Frankly, comet-watchers are pretty stumped by ISON. That's ok. Science is messy. Considering that this particular chunk of frozen space stuff has been hanging out in the Oort cloud for a few billion years, we'd be forgiven for not knowing everything about it.
Phil Plait has all your updates and background on the ISON undead-comet saga, and future, at Bad Astronomy.
Who's up for renaming this thing "Comet Icarus"?

So women can wear beachwear all they want to football games, , but when men do it, they get kicked out? This is gender discrimination, folks.
But SERIOUSLY.
It's a damn shame. Such a fucking stupid double standard. Like for example, I can see a commercial about some woman in a bikini eating a burger with some football announcers saying how hot she is; not a peep from anyone. But when that Joe Boxer commercial came out where the guys jiggled their "bells" to the tune of Jingle Bells a bunch of people call it inappropriate.
If we sexualize women, why the fuck not men too?!
Or how about we sexualize no one bc that sounds better
Because men in tiny shorts is not appealing to straight men, it's not allowed.
Because then straight men have something to be compared to.
Hey don't make it all personal, but damn. It makes people uncomfortable, but I don't think it's more because it threatens the norms of what it is to be "manly". Hot straight guys should get to wear speedos to things too. If they want…

Portuguese designer Susana Soares has developed a device for detecting cancer and other serious diseases using trained bees. The bees are placed in a glass chamber into which the patient exhales; the bees fly into a smaller secondary chamber if they detect cancer.
Scientists have found that honey bees - Apis mellifera - have an extraordinary sense of smell that is more acute than that of a sniffer dog and can detect airborne molecules in the parts-per-trillion range.
Bees can be trained to detect specific chemical odours, including the biomarkers associated with diseases such as tuberculosis, lung, skin and pancreatic cancer.
The saddest thing is that most people will find this humorous instead of serious. We're standing right beside one another, and yet we text others instead of actually speaking to each other. Have you ever sat down and thought about how uncomfortable we now are around one another that it's so bad that we literally pretend to be texting someone when we're not, just so it's less awkward to stand beside people? What's supposed to strengthen our bonds has taken away from it. It's time to take our faces out of our phones and notice the world, give a kind gesture to someone, and go SEE your friends instead of just texting them.
I'm going to let that sink in.
Ah yes let me just up and leave school right in between my classes so I can go see the friend 40 miles away that i'm currently texting instead of making idle chit chat with the people around me that I don't particularly care for.
Fuck your pretentious shit."whines evil technology is making people antisocial its not real communication if its not face to face and im a pretentious self righteous shitbaby that asks random people on the street for the time and feels good about it"
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I really appreciate being able to stay connected with lifelong friends… to be able to have conversations with them when they're halfway across the country is amazing.
Don't take it too far. Don't check the phone just because it becomes something to do.
