selling kilbey by the blogge
its 7.21 here chez kil
the olde zeitbeing is up early blogging away
faining to win the hearts of his patrons
yessaday a big day
an unseasonal cold wet spell has hit syddley
(global warming!?)
well i guess its more christmassy than blazing blue skies
elli n minna however are a little dismayed
theyd hoped for suntans n balmy days
but ended up with pouring rain and restless doodles
talking of doodles
me nk n b bumper drove out to toyz r uss in the horrible big place
as soon as olde sk walks in
just like superman being exposed to green kryptonite
the fluoro lites n the rows of soul-less toys starts doin' me head in
i start off with nausea and that slides downwards to a dull panic
is this my fault?
or have i just cultivated this bullshit to appear "above it all"?
you know
i do want to be above it all
dont you?
i just feel like all the time i spend on that kinda thing
in that kinda place hurts me..
although i dont resent or begrudge having been there
its just that...
i cant explain..
anyway nk is quite the opposite here
she runs round looking at things
eventually she asks if the bumper cant have her own "stuffed animal"
(an unfortunate saying...?)
shes already picked out this little bulldoggy one
and the bumpers arms go out n shes starts twitchin' n moanin'
like shes a zombie under a hex...
when shes gets the little bulldog in her arms
shes like a drowning man clutching at straws
a desperate cuddle like shes just found her little lost pup
eve n aurora getta loada stuff
i guess theyre gonna love it
but i guess im no longer a "toy" boy
meanwhile in the elli n minna show
things are par for the course
i blow it when i find out elli n minna are going to a party
all my eloquence
all my knowledge of language
disappears when i argue with either set of twins
and then they
just as i did
when i wassa precocious little smart-arse wally
they correct little details in what i say
i call the twillies doodles
and i call the doodles twillies
often in the heat of the moment
twillies stop strangling the bumper!!!
er actually dad...we're the doodles....
in the car in a bizzy street
quickly doodles i cant stop here
where do you wanna be dropped off???!!!!
daddy you called us the doodles no daddy.....
(and thatd be in stereo in unison, folks)
anyhow the twillies are invited to a party
they immediately go on full defensive manoevres
when i try to "interrogate" elli
while minna joins in with angry jeers n outraged laughter
then their mother rings up
elli talks to her for a while n hangs up
what did she say about the party i ask
elli says its cool if you think so
well well well
the phone rings a minute later
seems that mama back in the olde country
reckons elli just hung up on her
and that it definitely aint that cool with her
elli keeps saying whatever to everyone
and i must say in the mouth of a petulant teenager
that it makes me feel like the major from fawlty towers
confronting the sheer immovable obstinancy of youth
i bluster about saying stuff that makes the twillies writhe
n exclaiming in swedish
sydneys a bit harder faster n nastier than stockholm i say
men herre gud minna splutters or "whatever" it was minna
if you read this blogge
i dont remember ALL the tiny details
the way you 2 apparently do
but i cannot complain
because i was exactly the same at this age
especially with my dad
when wed have arguments
my nonchalance over his "old-fashioned" ideals
my laziness n ingratitude etc
would infuriate him...
i never stopped loving the old boy for a moment
but i was amazed at my ability to get this normally placid guy
absolutely tongue tied n ready to murder me
well the twillies are a double blast of youthful euro insouciance
they can handle sydney and theyre horrified
when i say im gonna pick em up
no daddy! no o o o o oh!
well we all get a chance to play every role
it really doesnt seem that long ago
that i was the antagonist
and i was the rebel without a clause
so anyway
thats enuff of that stuff
fambleys can be ruff
lassa nite more rehearsals for the show
we spend lotsa time talking bout the characters
and i find it very helpful
for the 1 st time we run thru the first bit
off the book
no scripts
its a bit like having yer first swim without the floatie
nothing holding you up anymore
i dont do as bad as i thought i might
maybe not as good as i wanted either tho
but its starting to happen
like the choreography of a zebra n a lion
peter n jerry must seamlessly intertwine
we rehearse hard and we back up n down the play
fine tuning n even finer tuning
words n gestures must unravel fluidly fluently
it must seem like its happening
you gotta lock in like a musical duo
it aint about me
im a supporting character
and im glad too
im too olde to play jerry
and i could never remember the page after page
of the jerry n the dog speech
i get a new respect for actors
musicians can drift a little in their heads
actors gotta stay focussed baybee 100 %
you cant slip outta character for even a second
or yer illusion is shattered by a moments loss of concentration
so its quite tiring to run over scenes
again n again
cos you gotta keep giving it all you got
or you dont know what you got at all
the director thinks its going very well
and thats inspiring...right?
today is another overcast day
its so cold i got my socks n boots on
in the middle of australian summer
i believe that some sweet blessed rain fell
where it was needed
and we can only be thankful for that
the twillies are now up n haranguing me
as i write
anticipating todays blogs criticism
elis going whatever whatever whatever again
in my day id say to my dad
dont chuck a william about it
and my dad'd do just that
n chuck a fuckin' william
whatever that means
thats it!

I'd suggest that you attend the party with the twillies, Steve. Their dad's a rock star for heaven's sake! There's no way that dad could ever cramp their style!

"whatever whatever whatever again"
"dont chuck a william about it"
Amazing. When I was lectured, I just looked somewhere else and drifted off, never saying a word to my dad. I wonder if he thought I was braindead.

isn't it intersting of how "what goes around comes around", especially where one's children are concerned. my daughter is a little wisecracking smart-ass~~just like i was. i guess it's karma for all the crap you dish out to your parents when you are the child, and then when you grow up and have them, they punish you for what you did as a child by tossing everything you did right back at you.

That was sweet. Just play Elli some Oophoi, should calm down that "whatever" talk right away.

What was that about? What the F was I thinking - no, I wasn't thinking - I was being a dick wad. And then I copped it, I'm very very sorry.

That was hilarious. I'll never have kids, cause I'm afraid all the rotten things I did (multistage plots, pranks, and intricate concertos of revenge...) will come back to bite me on the karmic ass. A true karmic hit (sorry).
You know SK, gotta say I sympathize with ya. I can't understand why they wouldn't be happy as hell to be picked up apres party by a rock star. You're underappreciated.
Seems we got yer weather by accident. It's rainy here, but I'm still wearing a spring jacket in december. The Great White North must be in siddley on vacation.
Wish I could see the play! Sounds cool.
Any word on Shriek? Where or how can we see it? Will it come to miserable backwater Canada?

God bless you, sir. I couldn't even imagine putting up with another version of me as a teenager, let alone 2 at a time and GIRLS at that!!! Then you got another wave coming shortly after. It's like your a surfer of the big waves...just keep your head up and your feet planted! Holy smokes...and I bet you do (smoke), because if it weren't for that blessed sacrament, you probably really would go "Chuck a William" (whatever that means, but I like it!) That phrase is almost as good as "Alright, alright, Don't lose your glob!"
Well, kiddo, you're da BEST!! Wish you and the famblay well. Hang in there, buddy.
Benn V. - 10:34 am
SK, your Dire Straits story at the NSC reminded me ... when I was about E & M's age, a friend & I stood outside Festival Hall just to listen to the Chrunch's set. I didn't care for DS then or now, & probably didn't have enough money to buy a ticket anyways. At one point Mr Knopfler walked past & half-smiled expectantly (waiting for an autograph request?) We just gave him a 'whatever' look...
Perhaps you could pick the twillies up after the soiree - with the agreement that you'll wait in the car for them, & if they're not out by a specific time, you will be forced to come in & git 'em - their punctuality might amaze you!

Why do you reckon I have no children...my Mum kept saying to me "Just wait until you have kids!"

Doesnt matter who your dad is, its still your DAD and its embarrassing as hell. But stick to your guns and lay down the law (can you say that these days? I always ring the hosts parents too - yeah this is no time to be cool. Right with ya SK.. hardest thing Ive ever had to do. I'd really love to be a fly on the wall when you do your 'nana though :)
Do you do the 'talk to the hand' thing?
Maybe you can channel that frustration into the play?! - 11:02 am
ps my 14yr old flew sydney to home on her own yesterday, most nervous time of my life. You guys have done well!

my friend's nanny does 'talk to the elbow, you're not worth the extension'! Now her kids use it! - 11:25 am

Well, I don't have any teen advice for you sk, my little one has quite a few years to go before he gets to the "doesn't want to know mummy" phase, and I ain't looking forward to it!(but he's always been a bit of a mummy's boy, so maybe he'll always love me....yeah right!!!
I know, maybe nk can dress up like a teenybopper and follow them to the party in disguise, sneak in and keep a close eye on the action, what do you think..haha?
Good luck with it all my sweet and try to have a worry-free weekend!
Love always,
Amanda - 1:44 pm
Sign you and Marty up as the entertainment at the party!
Makes me think of an early Peter Sellars' movie "The Party" - 2:00 pm
Surely a genius such as yourself would understand that 'global warming' isn't just about having lots of hot days. Climate change perhaps is easier to get your head around. Unseasonable weather is happening all over the planet. But what the hey join in with the right wing mockery festival while we all go to hell in a handbasket.
For fuck's sake go to wikipedia or somewhere and educate yourself. - 2:01 pm
Why do people always have to box everyone's views into right wing or left wing? what if you question everything, as i do?
- 2:59 pm
i can't say i know what it means to be a parent - watching over twillies and doodles, but i did have a panic attack at a Boarders Book Store once, and then every time i enter a K-mart (i did ketamine once too it made my head feel as if it were made of cement and i couldn't pick it off the floor - thank jupiter for those moments - the ones you KNOW you will never go back to - not in 12 million years...). i think i do KNOW the sancitity of life, its need of preservation, instruction - even the hard edged 'dissapointment' - that ultimate lesson of acceptance - i do not always get what i want - and how beautiful is that?!?!!
life is so strange, isn't it. retorical of course, but i still ask, and then there are always the replies, a strangers voice, a strange voice inside my head, one i imagine is not me, one i imagine is someone else, and something else i imagine has been this way and other ways i can not imagine, for aeons, of eons...
who is jack.. billbee? is it a secret?
btw good'ole vermontia has hada warm spell, un seasonably... my lawn is as green as it is in august, what a hoot...
i remember my first sight of a palm tree.. we are fucked.

anonymous 2.01 if irony had a party would you say you would be invited?
From Wikipedia
"H. W. Fowler, in Modern English Usage, had this to say of irony:
Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear & shall not understand, & another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more & of the outsiders' incomprehension"
on the subject of the third party i can understand dear sk that you would wish to protect the lovely swedish girls from finding out the truth about awestraylyen men [ok only some of em] but they will discover it sooner or later and it may as well be sooner! - 5:45 pm

You are correct, sir, all the big chain stores these days are evil and bland, make that Evil'n'Bland. I am allergic to WalMart, cause it's got no heart. Best Buy? Good bye. K Mart? Not smart. All the malls leave me appalled. But that's all we got left in Generica, where things keep getting bigger and blander. I think we need to turn Chrissie Hynde loose with a budget and some bombs.

kind of feel like we really know you now as opposed to your pre-blogge days when we I only really knew you through your interviews, songs and records etc., so it's been enlightening.
just a doodle-tip-
i presume they like broccoli, but just in case they don't, call them TREES (cos it looks like mini-trees) and tell them they're a giant going around eating all the trees- works with mine everytime! - 6:59 pm
- eek said...
Sometimes when my mum was tired and irritated she just couldn't get the right name with the right child so finally in frustration she would blurt "You know who you are!" which always caused us great merriment.
I also remember when I was particularly difficult she would give me "the look" and say "when you have kids I hope they are Just. Like. You." It didn't have much effect on me at the time, but a few years later I sure as hell made sure to double and even triple up on birth control methods. ;-)
I feel for you with Toys R Us. Last year I made the mistake of telling my niece I'd let her pick out her own birthday gift. Yep, off to Toys R Us we went. It was toy overload. So much stuff I couldn't focus on anything and all I wanted to do was leave. But my niece was happy and I got points for being "cool" so I guess it was worth it. Nevertheless, this year I made sure to buy her a gift ahead of time so I didn't have to go back there.
Anyway, enjoy your herd as much as possible. And if they are too bad you can always rake 'em over the coals here. :-D - 7:41 pm
- Renee said...
apparently 'whatever' is a universal teenage term to blow someone off
my niece says it all the time too!!!
she also does this thing where she accentuates the end of all her words with a short a sound
especially when your bothering her while shes on the phone or up in her room watching her hip-hop music videos
eg...what-a, no-a, yes-a, shut up-a
you get the idea!!
good luck with them girls,
i'm tellin ya,
you've got your hands full!! - 11:46 pm
- restaurant mark said...
first of all...that's hilarious sue cee! about spit out my coffee on that one. steve don't worry about feeling bad at toys r us...man, i worked two years there when i was 18-19. christmas was hell!!! the store would be so trashed by the end of the night, we wouldn't get out of there until like 2 or 3 in the morning. you know, they don't close till midnight as it is. wasn't the kids trashing the place as bad as the parents were. saw parents fight over the last hot video game. all sorts of stuff to make you hate christmas. but my kids are for the most part really good and i know how much fun i had getting my toys christmas morning. so ya gotta do it. at least my little boy's into the same stuff i was (star wars), so i at least understand what i'm buying!
as for arguing with the kids and them driving you mad...it's all karma. i'm sure i deserve it...ask my mom and dad. they wouldn't even hesitate. i officially became my mom a few weeks ago. one of the kids wanted something (who knows) but i said no...they said whyyyy??? i replied, cause i said so! and there you have it...i'm my mom...
take care man - 1:03 am

oh that made laugh... the major eh? I can become more the full Basil Fawlty at times... and mine is but 12... oh well, I think we can become our parents if we don't personally intervene - I'm consciously injecting more love, tolerance and hippy artistry than i ever received, so i believe the model is improving thru time (time... time... time... )

this is why i had boys.

Not a toy boy anymore? Neither was i, until... I read the Neil Young Biography "Shakey" and was inspired to buy a Lionel train set for 'round the x-mas tree. Toy trains are very relaxing, and put your mind somewhere else away from negative forces. It reminds me much of playing guitar in that sense. Try it. :)
- 2:24 am
I love reading this side of you. I can feel your frustration.
My dad calls me his crazy sister's name, his wife's name, my mom's name, depending on how flustered he (still) gets with me. I think it must be a normal parent thing.
Hope you're well.

i was lucky in that i had free reign to do as i pleased as a teenager.....i saw my mother as more of a friend than parent.....but then again, i was a boy and you have girls.....big difference i suppose....you can always tell em, " listen....i love you two very much and i don't want anything bad to ever happen to ya....that's why i'm so concerned" ....... as i understand it stockholm is a friendlier and safer city whereas sydney is more rough around the edges and in the corners

Toyz-R-Us, man, that brings back memories. He's 16 now, but 10-11 yrs ago it was such a challenge to perform the kid-extraction trick from the gravitational force exerted by that place. The useless stuff that was quickly discarded from boredom, and filled plastic bins; I finally donated it all as time went on.
Can you still converse in Swedish with the Twillies? That's quite an advantage they would have over the Doodles, NK, or others - to be able to speak in a "secret language" and conceal their conversations. Two exotic 15 yr old Swedish girls; I'll bet they are getting party invites!
You had me going back to Selling England for some listening, and damn if I wasn't one digit off on Firth.... of Fifth. And so with gods and men the sheep remain inside their pen....those are some good lines. But not as good as Yeblik lines. Steve Hackett turned up on a World Wildlife Fund CD I bought, "The Wildlife Album" with a nice piece, as well as Bert Jansch, Jan Akkerman, Richard Thompson - other gifted players.
The fascinating life at chez kilbee.....good luck with the play.

in the middle of king street newtown there's a 7-11 with those fluro lights and at night its so overwhelmingly awful to look at, the closer i get the more my head pounds and the more my head pounds the more like i imagine how kyrptonite would feel to superman, its quite awful. when i get to be emporor of the universe they are the first thing that i'm goona get rid off, along with lawyers and people that eat meat.

Hi Twillies!
(Ella stop yawning!)...great to cybersee you both. It sounds like you are enjoying Sydanee and that's a good thing. Yr ole man is a rock star sure, an all that, but as you are both quite sure of yourselves it means he has been a good Dad, and that's what counts.
The self esteem and character he and your mum have given you will bode you well for whatever endeavours you wish to engage in ..even rock journalism (shudder!). Go forth ye Twillies!!!
(p.s. just play a sample of his own Gilt Trip when he guilts ya, ho ho. But anyway it sounds like u2 give as good as u get!)
love to la famille, the whole famille, all of ya's! xxx samosanx - 9:59 pm

DICE halts development of all future projects as it shifts focus to Battlefield 4 issues
(Auto resize: show original)
Publisher Electronic Arts announced that DICE is halting development of all future projects and expansions until it sorts out issues currently affecting the PC and console versions of Battlefield 4.
"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game," an EA spokesperson told PC Gamer in a statement. "It is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game." The spokesperson also asserted a commitment to fix player issues. "We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain. We will not stop until this is right."
EA did not say how the decision will affect the development of projects we know it is working on, such as the sequels to Mirror's Edge and Star Wars Battlefront, but it has also yet to announce release dates for those games.
EA also said that the only reason it released the China Rising DLC yesterday was because it was "already in the final stages of development," before the publisher decided to refocus DICE's efforts on Battlefield 4's existing technical issues.
As we reported yesterday, many players were unable to join China Rising matches after the DLC hit yesterday. "This fix will take some time to be fully completed, but players should be noticing normal gameplay behavior soon," DICE said on Electronic Arts' official site yesterday. China Rising was also released alongside a patch that was supposed to improve connectivity and stability, but clearly DICE is not satisfied with the results.
Best Humble Bundle yet! And give to charity!

GeForce 331.82 Driver Boosts Performance Up to 50 Percent in Several Titles
(Auto resize: show original)
Want to speed up your Nvidia graphics card without overclocking? Lucky for you, Nvidia today released new WHQL-certified drivers -- GeForce 331.82 -- that the GPU maker claims will increase performance by up to 50 percent for GeForce 400, 500, 600, and 700 Series graphics cards in "several PC games." One of those titles is Metro: Last Light, though beyond that specific game, Nvidia didn't say which others receive such a generous boost.
Other examples Nvidia provided include up to 26 percent better performance in Crysis 3 and up to an 18 percent boost in Battlefield 4 after installing the new driver (versus GeForce 327.23).
In addition to performance gains, GeForce 331.82 also introduces new and updated SLI profiles, it enables GameStream technology, and it enables ShadowPlay technology. Other than those tidbits, you can expect the usual round of tweaks that result in better performance and bug fixes.
You can grab the new driver from Nvidia. It's also bundled with GeForce Experience v1.7.1.

RTC PhotoWork: Bambalere Keller Family Session
Let the holiday season begin! This session was my "season opener" for the holiday season in September. (I know it still feels like summer in September in Texas, but it's so much better to get photos made in September and early October at the latest when you need holiday gifts and cards made from them. No one needs to rush or be stressed!) We met at the beautiful Heritage clubhouse in Keller for this family/9 month Origins session.

Postfix, Courier, IMAP and Spam Assassin can all be configured completely by configuration files without any involvement with any database whatsoever.
What it all boils down to is this. Do the considered MTA, IMAP/POP3 server, mail filter agent and spam filter all have the ability to perform database lookups for authenticating email users? If so, are those databases MySQL or PostgreSQL? If the answer is yes to all, then perhaps support can be implemented in the future. The key here is capability of the service to do database lookups.

A Meckel's diverticulum is a small pouch of tissue on the intestine (bowel). It forms when the baby is still growing in the womb. A Meckel's diverticulum may bleed. It may also become infected. Or the intestine can twist around it. When these conditions occur, the Meckel's diverticulum must be removed.
Many people with a Meckel's diverticulum never have symptoms. When a problem does occur, it's often around age 2. The most common signs of a problem include:
Blood in stool
Anemia (a health problem due to blood loss). Signs of anemia include feeling unwell, sleepy, or less energetic than normal; and pallor (very pale skin)
Signs of infection (fever, chills, or pain or tenderness in the abdomen)
Most Meckel's aren't found unless they cause symptoms. If a Meckel's is suspected, tests that may be done include:
Blood tests: These check for signs of bleeding or infection.
Stool sample: This may be taken to check for blood.
Meckel's scan: A special dye is injected into the child's bloodstream through an IV (intravenous) line. This dye may make the Meckel's tissue show up on a scan.
Ultrasound: This test uses sound waves to make images. In some cases, a Meckel's can be seen on an ultrasound image.
Other tests: Imaging tests such as an x-ray or CT scan may be done to rule out other problems.
If the child has no symptoms, treatment might not be needed. But if the Meckel's diverticulum is causing symptoms, it will likely be removed with surgery.
Unless it causes symptoms, a Meckel's usually isn't a problem. Once the diverticulum is removed, most children have no further symptoms.

Mr. McDonald's bill [H. R. 318], to amend section three of the County Surveyor's act of June 17, 1852, coming up with the committee amndment-
Mr. McDONALD said the object of the bill was this: Where the boundaries have been legally established within five years past, if either party desire a resurvey, he shall pay the expenses himself.
Mr. RATLIFF said the amendment was to strike out the limitation of five years.
The amendment was adopted, and so the bill was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. Higbee's bill, [H. R. 154,] authorizing the Board of Commissioners to levy tax for the subscription and donations Railroads, coming up with the committee amendment by substitute-
The amendment was adopted, and so the bill was ordered to the engrossment -

Mr. Sunman's bill [H. R. 379], relative to the estates of minor heirs:

Mr. Williams', of Union's, joint resolution [H. R. 15], requiring the State Printer to print 1,500 copies of the law concerning descendent's estates and the duties of guardians, to be distributed to the Clerks of the several counties, coming up -
Mr. LONG moved that 1,500 copies of the same shall be in German.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Union, said that administrators want copies of that law for information concerning their duties, when it was not convenient for them to consult a lawyer. The resolution was for their accommodation.
Mr. RATLIFF would like to know something about the cost. It might be twenty-five or thirty thousands dollars.
Mr. JOHNSTON, of Parke, feared that copies of the laws on that subject would mislead as many administrators and guardians as it would inform correctly.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Union, proposed to amend the resolution by striking out State Printer, and inserting Secretary of State in lieu.
On motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, of Hamilton, the joint resolution and pending amendments were referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a communication from the Governor informing the House that the enrolled bill [H. R. 65] introduced by Mr. Osborn for an act amending section 15 of the Manufacturing Companies' general act of May 20, 1852, and defining the meaning of the word "annual" therein, became a law without his approval on the 30th day of April, 1869.
Mr. Pierce, of Porter's bll [H. R. 371] to amend the law in relation to Public Highways coming up -
Mr. PIERCE, of Porter, said it was to amend the law so that instead of the Trustees the Clerks and Auditors shall give the notice, &c.

Mr. OSBORN said that would be to strike out the whole bill. He was on the Judiciary Committee and did not know that this bill was ever considered there. He hoped the House would not concur in the amendment reported.
Mr. JOHNSTON, of Parke, remembered the consideration of that bill by the Judiciary Committee. And we conceived there would be a difficulty about streets, and reported the amendment after due consideration. His understanding of the amendment was that it was to strike out streets and alleys both.
Mr. OSBORN was satisfied that the committee did not know what they were doing. [Laughter.]
On motion by Mr. JOHNSTON, of Parke, the bill was again referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, with instructions to report at an early day.
Mr. Ratliff's bill [H. R. 212] to amend section 1 of the act to amend sections 1 and 2 of the act to fix the per diem of members of the General Assembly, approved in 1852, and March 4, 1865, coming up-
Mr. LONG moved that it be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. RATLIFF said the only object of the bill is to provide that members who are absent two or three weeks at home practicing law or taking care of their farms, shall get no pay for such absence. It allows pay for two days without leave, but not farther than that unless by special leave, or on account of sickness.
Mr. FULLER said it took him four days, and the Senator from Perry five days to go home.
Mr. LONG expected to come back again to the General Assembly, and of course he expected to ask for leave of absence, which he supposed would be granted to him as heretofore, and as heretofore he also would have leave to bolt if he wanted to.
On motion of Mr. RATLIFF it was laid on the table.
Mr. Stephenson's bill [H. R. 313], to amend section fifteen of the act regulating prosecutions and cases in bastardy, approved May 16, 1852, coming up with the Judiciary Committee's amendment, adding: "Provided that the judgment shall not be enforced against the defendant by execution or otherwise until the birth of the child in question."
Mr. STEPHENSON in support of the provisions of the bill, said, the only change page: 150[View Page 150] made in the present law was that proviso, and where a person is committed for this offence after being confined in jail three months, if he give the proper notice to the opposite party, and a proper showing to the Judge, he can be released if he can prove that he has no available means to satisfy the judgment. In other words, the bill is to avoid imprisonment for life for this offense, as may be done almost under the present law-to avoid indefinite confinement in those low county jails, which are worse than the penitentiary. With regard to that amendment he knew nothing.
Mr. OSBORN. It provided for everything except the naming of the child.
The SPEAKER [Mr. Stanton in the the chair]. Then all the individual would have to do would be to get up and leave the country, if he saw danger ahead.
Mr. PIERCE, of Vigo. By this bill the law stands as it is, with the provision recited by the gentleman, and the object of the amendment was that money can not be collected till the birth of the child. He himself moved that amendment in committee, and he did it for this reason: He had known cases where persons were prosecuted for bastardy, and where judgments were obtained for $400 and $500, and the usual orders of the Court for the money to be paid, so much to be paid in one month, so much in sixty days, so much in ninety days. He had known such cases which turned out that the woman was never pregnant at all. And to cover such cases was the object of the amendment. It could be no hardship for a female, or rather for the child, (for that was the principal object of protection) to wait for the money till it is born, and if it is never born, it will never need it; or if the woman is riot pregnant, of course it would be wrong for the money to be paid at all.
Mr. STEWART, of Ohio. It was now provided by law that the mother may compromise with the defendant by entering satisfaction on the record. Does the bill repeal that?
Mr. PIERCE, of Vigo. No, sir. The reason of the law for these cases in bastardy was for the purpose of protecting the State or county from the expense of supporting the mother and child. And of course the county needs none of this money until the mother has incurred or is about to incur this expense.
Mr. PIERCE, of Porter, inquired if the bill provides that the party by proving that he has no property may be discharged from custody, or from the judgment? If from the judgment that was wrong.
Mr. STEPHENSON. It merely discharges him from custody.
The amendment of the Committee was then adopted.
Mr. BOBO proposed further to amend by striking out three months and insert six months in lieu. He considered that ninety days is too short a time for such defendant to lie in jail.
Mr. STEPHENSON hoped it would be adopted. The object was to obtain the amount of the judgment; and why run the State or the county to the expense of keeping the prisoner in jail six months, when is known that he has no means. The bill provides that if he can show to the satisfaction of the judge that he has no property-that he can not replevy the judgment-then it is in the discretion of the court to discharge him. Why not then, release him at the end of "three months ? That is certainly a sufficient term of imprisonment, to uncover all the arrangements he may have made for getting his property out of his hands. Let us have it three months, and then if he can make a fair showing let him be released; if not, let him lie in jail.
Mr. JOHNSTON, of Parke, proposed to amend the amendment by striking out "six" and inserting "nine" in lieu.
On motion of Mr. ZENOR, the amendment and the amendment to the amendment, were laid on the table.
Mr. NEFF proposed to amend by adding these words: "Provided that the provisions of this act shall not be extended to any person now in jail on the charge of bastardy."
Mr. STEPHENSON said he knew of cases of men in jail who have been lying there for years, and he did not see any reason for such confinement. These jails were worse than the penitentiaries-were kept in a worse condition. It was as good as the death penalty for a man to be sent into them for any stated time. Then why impose on the counties this additional expense?
Mr. NEFF was not particular about the amendment. He was opposed to the whole bill. He did not think the penalty any too great. When a man is placed in prison for such an offense he ought to stay there till he rots. It would not cost the county more to keep such a man in jail than to let him run at large.
Mr. STEWART, of Ohio. If the gentleman was not particular about his amendment, he would move to lay it on the table.
The amendment was laid on the tablet accordingly.
Mr. NEFF then moved to lay the bill on the table.
The motion was rejected; and then-
The bill was ordered to the engrossment.
Mr. Fuller's bill [H. R. 51] to amend section of the act to fix the time of holding page: 151[View Page 151] Common Pleas, &c., approved March 5th, 1859, was ordered to the engrossment.
On motion by Mr. DAVIDSON, the Court bill for his circuit was taken up; and he proposed to amend by allowing Fulton county two weeks to hold Court if the business thereof require it.
The amendment was adopted and the bill passed to the engrossment.
Mr. Gordon's bill [H. R. 353] to fix the salaries of county officers was laid on the table, being superseded by a Senate bill.
Mr. Monroe's bill [H. R. 306], fixing the per diem and mileage of members of the General Assembly-the compensation of Secretaries, Clerks and Doorkeepers, and their employes-being taken up with the amendment of the Special Committee thereon by way of _ substitute, proposing this title: "To provide for the election of officers of the two Houses of the General Assembly, fixing their pay; defining their duties, repealing all laws in conflict with this act, and declaring when this act shall take effect.
It provides for the election of one Clerk and one Doorkeeper for each House. The pay of each Clerk $50 a day and each Doorkeeper $40 for each day of the session of the General Assembly the Clerks and Doorkeeper to provide the necessary clerical and police force at their own expense.
Mr. PIERCE, of Porter, indicated a motion to lay on the table.
Mr. JOHNSTON, of Parke, moved that it be indefinitely postponed. The compensation was unequal. There was more labor required for these employes in the House, than those in the Senate.
Mr. FULLER was informed that this bill would save $7,500 for each regular session; and he was also informed by intelligent gentlemen that the work could be performed for that money.
On motion of Mr. PIERCE of Porter, the bill was laid on the table for the present.
Mr. Mason's bill [H. R. 361] to enable railroad companies who have formed articles of association, naming the counties through which they pass, to perfect their organization.
Mr. Overmeyer's bill [H. R. 370] to amend section 133 of the Common School law.
Mr. Coffroth's bill (H. R. 330) to abolish certain officers provided for in the general City Corporation act, and transferring their duties to the office of the City treasurer.
The SPEAKER said this bill was to assign the duties of Assessor to the City Treasurer, and to make the appraisements for taxation for State and County purposes the basis for City taxation. But property is appraised for State and County purposes only once in five years, and in many Cities the amount of property would be doubled in that time.
Mr. ODELL moved to amend by including towns in the provisions of the bill.
Mr. PIERCE, of Vigo, desired the gentleman from Shelby to withdraw his amendment, though he had no doubt it might be acceptable to the gentleman from Huntington.
Mr. LONG also desired to amend the bill.
Mr. PIERCE, of Vigo, would be glad to have it made a special order for some Certain day.
Mr. LONG objected to special orders, to the exclusion of more important bills.
Mr. PIERCE did not think there is a more important bill on the files.
So it was passed over.
Mr. Pierce's (of Porter) bill requiring the State Printer to fix the cost of printing and binding on the title page of all books, bills and documents printed by order, &c., coming up-
On motion by Mr. PIERCE, it was laid on the table.
Mr. Higgins' bill [H. R. 356] to enable the occupants of lands not surveyed by the United States, and bordering on lakes, &c., to hold the same, coming up-
Mr. CHAPMAN said it was a bill sent to him, which he had obtained the favor of Mr. Higgins to introduce. And after further explanation by Mr. Chapman, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Pierce, of Porter, Mr. Barnet, and others-
It was laid on the table.
Mr. Welborn's bill [H. R. 220] to authorize the amendment of bills of exception in certain cases, coming up-
Mr. NEFF moved, ineffectually, for its indefinite postponement; and, then-

Palace will not appeal Dikgacoi sending off as red mist lifts
8:00am Wednesday 18th September 2013 in Sport By Andrew Bloss and Sunni Upal
Controversial: Crystal Palace's Kagisho Dikgacoi tangles with Manchester United's Ashley Young on Saturday
Crystal Palace will not appeal against Kagisho Dikgacoi's red card he received against Manchester United.
The South African was given a straight red card on Saturday after he upended Ashley Young just outside the penalty area.
Referee Jon Moss gave a penalty though and gave the midfielder his marching orders despite heavy protestations from the Palace team.
There were rumours Ian Holloway was going to appeal the decision, but the Croydon Guardian has been told the club will not ask for the red card to be overturned.
Yesterday co-chairman Stephen Browett wrote on internet fans forum the BBS about the decision not to appeal the red card.
He said: "The club has decided not to appeal the red card. This decision has been made by the football people at the club, not the owners.
"They know how these things work and if they had thought it would be successful they would have done it. We now have to move on."
It means the 28-year-old will miss the Eagles next game against Swansea City, which paves the way for new signing Adlene Guedioura to make his home debut for the club.
The ex-Nottingham Forest midfielder came on as a second half substitute against Manchester United and said after the game he was looking forward to giving everything to the club.
"I think against 11 men it would have been a different game, but we showed our teams spirit and we deserved more than we got," he said.
"This Sunday we have a home against Swansea, which is going to be important. Hopefully, we will do better.
"I can see there is a great team spirit and a great manager here. Hopefully, we can show the fans good things."
Defender Joel Ward, pictured left, looks set to miss out on Sunday after Ian Holloway revealed the right back had a calf tear.
The former Portsmouth man has been one of Palace's best players this season, winning 84 per cent of his tackles so far this campaign.

-- seriously.
Conclude the death tax is not serious.
That the Chrysler factory workers that were caught on camera smoking weed and drinking on the lunch break because as you know one -- a couple of jobs back.
You may record thirteen -- -- fire that.
Thanks to the unit and the union contract Chrysler up rehire them whole so let's bring in rob wal check the investigator.
From WJBK.
In Detroit he broke the story two years ago he's been following it all the way through all right raw.
My obvious question is these guys have got their jobs back.
Do they get back do you know whether they do one.
I do not know whether they -- you are not I asked that question in fact when I talk to that girl from Chrysler.
When I first found out about this on Friday that they got their jobs back.
I talked or -- after much questions I was kind of.
Shocked and flabbergasted even though you would call that you said that they we're gonna get their jobs back a couple of years ago see you are absolutely right about that -- But anyways when I clocked at her -- a pot I hung up the phone and I -- subplot about an exit might actually got to find out if they're getting -- back pay.
And I call the backing all this -- you kind of clammed up and said that.
It was a personnel matter and she couldn't say if they got back -- so I could not tell you if they got back pay or not.
I would speculate that they did.
I look at -- they -- all the jobs back because of what's written in the union contract.
I don't know what's written -- the union contract but I would presume.
That if you reinstated from -- -- from which you have being fired you get back I'm that's pure speculation on my part I haven't read the union contract.
But that's what I think -- question Roth I thought I'd go public go ahead -- -- have got.
Well I was -- good thing I would speculate the same thing also with her answer.
I would think that if there was no back pay they would definitely say all there was no back pay because Chrysler wants to save a little bit of pace here but.
So that's why I kind -- think -- Is another one who appointed the arbitrator.
Who gave the jobs back to -- these thirteen people who went back to woke.
Under the influence of alcohol and marijuana who appointed that all of -- trying to.
Well I can tell you that question I just don't have an answer that you know they have an arbitration process they have lawyers all involved.
You know this is stop that I'm not in the loop of so I don't know but.
You know I I know that a lot of cases have gone before arbitration and they've gone the other way because -- -- the people.
Who had said you know I got fired from.
One of that Big Three auto makers for one thing or another and I know that the auto makers.
Oftentimes win out in the UAW's sometimes went out.
In this case even Scott -- from Chrysler's that this was a unfortunate aberration.
Well second on the you don't you don't a lot of -- because the big other jobs back because they did what they did.
On their own time and off company profited.
I believe that's and I guess it.
Yeah -- I believe facility that was call off duty time.
Apparently they're not paid for lunch they had their last half hour lunch break and they're off quality.
And were out bought stuff puts you exactly -- -- don't forget that went back to look under the -- of what they dumped on their own time all absolutely I mean.
Yes absolutely and I and I think that's Chrysler's point that's Chrysler does not want people in the factory working like -- Chrysler absolutely.
Is appalled.
That the show they have the higher these guys that.
Good example I think we can all agree on this union power and the power of a union contracts very important stuff.
-- -- always doing stalling look out narron Detroit's on the subject in particular.
Thanks very much indeed for joining -- -- appreciate it.
Thank you Stuart.

[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
jm141302 | Rucu to Padre and back Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2013 | |
Clear day. Could see all the way to Chimborazo. Got to the top of Rucu starting from the cable car in a hour and 45, and then continued down, climbed another peak before getting to padre encantado. Around 6 1/2 hours total. | ||
Posted Oct 3, 2013 12:37 pm |
dielotr | Rucu with acclimatization Date Climbed: Apr 24, 2013 | |
Solo climb of Rucu from Teleferiq'o. A world of difference since the first time I climbed in January, when I only had a week of acclimatization. Now that I've lived in Quito for four months, Rucu was a breeze. Clearest day I've seen in Ecuador, as well! Snapped photos of Quito, Cotopaxi, Antisana, Cayambe, Ilinizas, Ruminahui, Corazon, Guagua and Padre Encantado, and even Chimborazo- 120 miles away. | ||
Posted Apr 30, 2013 9:08 pm |
Garon Coriz | Rucu with Chris Date Climbed: Feb 12, 2013 | |
A warm-up for Chris on basically her second day in Ecuador. The snowy conditions at the summit made for a bit of sketch. Running to make the teleferico was quite the rush. | ||
Posted Mar 12, 2013 5:25 pm |
Garon Coriz | First Peak On Second Time to Ecuador Date Climbed: Feb 10, 2013 | |
Drove to Lloa with Sebastian and hired a 4x4 to get us up the road. They turned around far from the parking area, which made the total elevation gain for the day over 3,000 feet. We got to the summit fairly quickly where we were met with snow and wind. The crater looked amazing with the blowing snow. | ||

Climbed Padre Encantado and Guagua Pichincha from Lloa side. Truck up to first parking lot, then hike up to Padre. No clouds yet. Traversed ridge to Guagua Pichincha refugio/shelter before climbing Guagua via sandy ridgeline. Clouds at summit. | ||

slychels04 | A Summit in the Clouds Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2012 | |
(Guagua Pichincha) We hired a guide in Quito and started the climb from Lloa. The drive was terrible! The car just couldn't make it to the trailhead but the couple extra miles didn't hurt us. There was no view at the summit but the experience was great. Make sure you go to both summits! I am from low altitude and climbed this on my 3rd day in Ecuador without problem. | ||

jm141302 | Guagau Crater and Summit Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2012 | |
Started about 800m below summit on the road between Lloa and the refugio. Very clear morning. Our goal was to go down to the active vents in the crater, but our group was really slow and full of people who I personally thought had no business being there. We got down close to the crater but had to turn around for lack of time. It took our group about 1 hour 45 min to get down 400 meters, and I climbed back up to the rim in about 45 minutes. While waiting for the rest of the group, I went to the summit. I'll try the crater again without people who are very out-of-shape or petrified by heights. It's a beautiful, surreal place, and I would highly recommend not just going to the summit, but going down into the crater also. The weather was clear most of the day, but the clouds rolled in around 14:00. | ||
Posted Sep 26, 2012 1:34 pm |
Homestarhiker | Priorities still in order Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2012 | |
Met cute Austrian girl on the Teleferico. She decided to turn back near the beginning of the summit block. Had to choose between girl and mountain... Chose mountain. | ||

jm141302 | Rucu Normal route Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2012 | |
Climbed a month earlier too. Took some visiting students up to the top. Took us 2.5 hours up, 1.5 down. Clouds past the power pylon but not very windy. It started to snow at the top. Good day. | ||

Garon Coriz | Guagua is FAR Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2012 | |
Met a dead end trying to get to Guagua via Rucu. Was short on time so wrapped it up at Rucu and returned to the Teleferico. Round-trip time, 3 hours. | ||

Bluebell08 | Fun day Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2012 | |
From the Teleferico to the top in 2.5 hours, down in 1 hr. Some wind and low clouds, fun scrambling towards the top and sliding down the sand on the way down. Local dog followed us all the way to the top. Warm-up hike for Cotopaxi. | ||
Posted Jul 21, 2012 11:09 am |
Garon Coriz | Cold and Cloudy Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2012 | |
Climbed Rucu Pichincha with my host brother on a rare day off from my clinical rotation. Started at 2 pm. It was fogged in, windy, and cold (<30ºF at the summit). Station-to-summit: 2hrs 15min, returned in 1hr 30min. | ||
Posted Jun 23, 2012 10:56 pm |
jm141302 | Climbed Rucu Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2012 | |
Climbed the normal route with my wife. 3 hours starting from TelefériQo to the peak, 2 hours back down. Windy and cloudy, but the clouds were high enough to keep the peak visible most of the time. Chilly too. We saw several tourists near the top in shorts and t-shirts. I wonder if they thought it was going to be warm because it's on the equator. A little rain would have made their hike truly miserable. | ||

The Highest Tideby Jim Lynch Published 2005 by Bloomsbury Publishing PLCHardcover, English. ISBN: 1582346054
Find this book in our catalog.
Jacket Notes:
While the sea continues to offer him discoveries from its mysterious depths, such as a giant squid, a teenaged boy struggles to deal with the difficulties that come with the equally mysterious process of growing up.
REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 07/18/2005
The fertile strangeness of marine tidal life becomes a subtly executed metaphor for the bewilderments of adolescence in this tender and authentic coming-of-age novel, Lynch's first. As a precocious, undersized 13-year-old living on the shore of Puget Sound, in Washington State, Miles O'Malley has developed a consuming passion for the abundant life of the tidal flats. His simple pleasure in observing is tested and complicated over the course of a remarkable summer, when he finds a giant squid, a discovery that brings him the unwelcome attention of scientists, TV reporters and a local cult. Meanwhile, Miles's remote parents are considering a divorce; his best friend, Florence, an elderly retired psychic, is dying of a degenerative disease; his sex-obsessed buddy, Phelps, mocks his science-geek knowledge; and his desperate crush on Angie Stegner, the troubled girl next door, both inspires and humiliates him. Events build toward the date of a record high tide, and Miles slowly sorts out his place in the adult world. While occasionally Lynch packs too much into a small story, this moving, unusual take on the summers of childhood conveys a contagious sense of wonder at the variety and mystery of the natural world. Agent, Kim Witherspoon. (Sept.)
11/01/2005 REVIEW: School Library Journal
Adult/High School -Thirteen-year-old Miles O'Malley's nightly kayaking trips contribute to his expertise on the natural life of the Puget Sound tidal flats. On one of his nocturnal forays, Miles discovers a giant squid, a creature that has never before been sighted in the area, and he becomes a phenomenon. Before long, a spiritual group begins to revere him as a prophet because of his prediction of a high tide in the bay and Miles finds himself in the middle of a firestorm of publicity. The protagonist is not a typical teen: captivated by Rachel Carson's writings, he is interested in reading and in safeguarding the secrets of an elderly friend whose health is declining. But many things are changing in his life: his parents separate; he develops an unlikely friendship with an older boy who is obsessed with sex; and Miles himself hungers after the attention of the out-of-control girl next door. Lynch's lyrical writing holds great interest for teens concerned about the natural world; the book's haunting images will linger in their minds as they contemplate the relationship between the sea's mysteries and Miles's growing understanding of the mysteries of his life.-Ellen Fader, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
The Opal Deceptionby Eoin Colfer Published 2005 by Miramax BooksHardcover, English. ISBN: 0786852895
In Berlin to steal a famous painting from a German bank, criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl doesn't know that his old rival, Opal Koboi, has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She's left her double behind in jail and, now free, seeks revenge on all those who put her there, including Artemis.
07/01/2005 REVIEW: School Library Journal
Gr 5-7 -Identity fraud is at the heart of this fourth book in the series. To all appearances, Opal Koboi, pixie and archenemy of the fairies, is under close surveillance as she lies in a coma. Artemis Fowl, the brilliant 14-year-old criminal mastermind, has had his mind wiped clean of all knowledge of fairies, and, therefore, of all prior goodness he has learned. When the real Opal escapes and leaves behind a DNA-perfect clone of herself, her revenge against all those who opposed her commences with deadly fury. Among the barrage of high-tech gadgets and continuous action sequences and plot twists are moments that give even Artemis Fowl pause as he contemplates friendship, responsibility, and death. The prose is clunky and the characters speak in clichés, but those who enjoyed the earlier books won't care. The humor (heavily dosed with flatulence jokes) and creativity carry the narrative through the tight spots and impossible situations.-Farida S. Dowler, Mercer Island Library, WA
Bucking the Sargeby Christopher Paul Curtis Published 2004 by Wendy Lamb BooksHardcover, English. ISBN: 0385323077
LUTHER T. FARRELL has got to get out of Flint, Michigan. As his best friend Sparky says, "Flint's nothing but the Titanic." And his mother, a.k.a. the Sarge, says, "Take my advice and stay off the sucker path." The Sarge milked the system to build an empire of slum housing and group homes. Luther's just one of the many people trapped in the Sarge's Evil Empire--but he's about to bust out. If Luther wins the science fair this year, he'll be on track for college and a future as America's best-known and best-loved philosopher. All he's got to do is beat his arch rival Shayla Patrick, the beautiful daughter of Flint's finest undertaker--and the love of Luther's life. Sparky's escape plans involve a pit bull named Poofy and the world's scariest rat. Oh, and Luther. Add to the mix Chester X., Luther's mysterious roommate; Dontay Gaddy, a lawyer whose phone number is 1-800-SUE'M ALL; and Darnell Dixon, the Sarge's go-to guy who knows how to break all the rules. "Bucking the Sarge is a story that only Christopher Paul Curtis could tell. Once again the Newbery Award-winning author of "Bud, Not Buddy and "The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 gives us a whole new angle on life and a world full of unforgettable and hilarious characters. Readers will root for Luther and Sparky every step of the way. Praise for "The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963: "An exceptional first novel."--"Publishers Weekly, Starred "Ribald humor . . . and a totally believable child's view of the world will make this book an instant hit."--"School Library Journal, Starred Praise for "Bud, Not Buddy: "Curtis has given a fresh, new look to a traditional orphan-finds-a-home story thatwould be a crackerjack read-aloud."--"School Library Journal, Starred
09/01/2004 REVIEW: School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up -Luther's mother, "the Sarge," runs an empire of Flint, MI, slums and halfway houses, and has a loan-sharking business. At age 15, Luther manages one of her halfway houses, drives the residents around in a van with an illegal license, and readies the homes of evicted tenants for the Sarge's next desperate victims. In exchange, she puts his earnings in a college fund, threatens him into submission, and primes him to take over the business. All Luther wants to do is win the school science fair, think deep thoughts, find some action for the vintage condom in his wallet, and do something honest with his life. Curtis tells the teen's story with his usual combination of goofy humor, tongue-in-cheek corniness, and honest emotion. Accordingly, Luther narrates the absurd, embarrassing details of his life with both adult sensitivity and teen crassness. The dialogue between Luther and Sparky, his "womb to tomb" best friend, is at turns hilarious and touching. The Sarge herself is so convincingly sharp-tongued, shrewd, and despicable that she's the novel's juiciest character. The plot unfolds slowly at first, and teens may lose patience with Luther's tendency to feel sorry for himself. However, once his confidence begins to build, the story keeps a quickening pace with his character arc. His final revenge on the Sarge is so deftly constructed and the novel's resolution so satisfying that it makes up for the occasional lag in the lead-up. Any teen who's ever wanted to stick it to the man (or woman) will love this story.-Johanna Lewis, New York Public Library
Sorceressby Celia Rees Published 2002 by Candlewick Press (MA)Hardcover, English. ISBN: 0763618470
Fans of the spellbinding story of Mary Newbury can finally find out what happens to her next in this sequel to "Witch Child"--thanks to a young, modern descendant who has an uncanny connection to the past.
REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 08/26/2002
A Native American teen experiences a life-altering encounter after reading about Mary Newbury the 17th-century protagonist of Witch Child who may be connected with one of her own relatives, in Sorceress by Celia Rees.
12/01/2002 REVIEW: School Library Journal
Gr 7-10-This sequel to Rees's Witch Child (Candlewick, 2001) is a much more complex story, taking readers into a mystical plot that crosses time and place. Agnes, a Native American, is starting college in Boston. She reads part of a diary about 17th-century Mary Newbury and realizes that she has a connection with her from a story passed down in her family about a white woman who had settled with the Mohawks. Contacting the researcher who found Mary's diary leads to experiences that Agnes could not have imagined. While visiting the reservation, her aunt leads her into a vision quest where she "becomes" Mary. She sees a peaceful period, followed by years of death, forced migration, and constant conflict with settlers. Her final role as a respected healer is passed down through Agnes's ancestors, creating the link between the two women. The book ends with a series of historical notes written by Alison, the researcher. Rees manages to carry all of this off through her strong writing style and well-developed characters, using the artifacts that have been preserved in Agnes's family to add to the credibility of the story. The book not only gives readers a view of life 400 years ago and a look at one Native American culture, but also helps them understand what draws someone to historical research by showing that history is the story of people's lives and the events that shape them. While it can stand alone, the novel will be enjoyed more by those who have read Witch Child.-Jane G. Connor, South Carolina State Library, Columbia

I'm fucking pissed off right now. The Hostile Takeover Tour was set to come threw St. Louis at a decent venue called The Pageant. Tech hasn't played here since Fire and Ice. Its a nice, comfortable venue. I was extremely happy to hear this is where he would be at once again. BUT NOPE. I just seen that the venue has changed to a shitty hole in the wall called Pops Nightclub. This place is ratchet as fuck! And there is no way it will hold all the mainstream homos that WaterGun Kelly will bring in. Anyone else have their venue changed? I wish I could call whoever books these shows and give them a piece of my mind right now.
Ya not a fan of AZ's changes either. They listed the Flagstaff show at the Orpheum then it changed to some Ampitheater that has no upcoming events posted at all... Also they left Marquee which is cool because that place is kind of a dump. then it changed to the Venue of Scottsdale, then it changed to Celebrity Theater. Which the middle sections in front of Tech are reserved seating, apparently. I don't want seats around me when I see Tech but I also dont want to be at a shitty angle to watch. Also Prices went up like 20 buck from Marquee to Celebrity also. 50+ a show... Sounds like I am trying to go see Wayne.
As everyone has stated, Tech has played the same venue in their towns for years and years. That is called laziness on the bookers part. And the entire Strange roster hates the venue in STL. And they all want to play at the other mentioned venue, Tech himself said it is out of his control.
RL98 said:
I would hardly call them lazy, which is a blanket statement on your part, based on what? What Tech and the guys have said about playing the venue? They may not like going to Pop's, but that doesn't mean the bookers don't know any better. They do what is necessary and feasible.
Guess what, if it really was a huge problem to them, it would have been solved by now.
Native Lunatic™ said:No, I don't. Because Tech's booking agents are lazy as fuck. I've talked to Tech about this exact problem and he said he agrees with me 100%, so does Kaliko and Prozak. None of those guys like coming to Pops. But Pops is easier to get a booking and cheaper than the Pageant. You fucking idiot. Think before you type.
RL98 said:lol at giving the booking agents a piece of your mind. Go for it. You think they didn't take everything into consideration when booking this tour? You think in the 12 years SM has been around that this is their first tour?
