January 9th
The sky was an immense, inverted bowl of gray clouds that arched from one flat horizon to the other. It was the kind of sky that hovered over the American Midwest. In the summer the ground would be awash in a sea of corn and soybeans. But now in the depths of winter it was a frozen stubble with patches of dirty snow and a few lonely, leafless, skeletonized trees.
The leaden clouds had excreted a lazy drizzle all day -- more of a mist than a rain. By two o'clock the precipitation had abated and the single functioning windshield wiper of the aged, recycled UPS delivery van was no longer necessary as the vehicle neogtiated a rutted dirt road.
"What did old man Oakly say?" Bart Winslow asked. Bart was the driver of the van. He and his partner, Willy Brown, sitting in the passenger seat, were in their fifties and could have been mistaken for brothers. Their creased, leather faces bore witness to a lifetime of labor on the farm. Both were dressin in soiled and tattered overalls over layered sweatshirts and both were chewing tobacco.
"Benton Oakly didn't say much," Willy answered after wiping some spittle off his chin with the back of his hand. "Just said one of his cows woke up sick."
"How sick?" Bart asked.
"I guess sick enough to be a downer," Willy said. "Has the runs bad."
Bart and Willy had evolved over the years from mere farmhands to become what the local farmers referred to as 4-D men. It was their job to go around and pick up dead, dying, diseased, and disabled farm animals, particularly cows, and take them to the rendering plant. It wasn't a coveted job, but it suited Bart and Willy just fine.
The van turned at a rusted mailbox and followed a muddy road that ran between barbed-wire fences. A mile beyond the road opened up at a small farm. Bart drove the van up to the barn, made a three-point turn, and backed the vehicle to the open barn door. By the time Bart and Willy had climbed from the truck, Benton Oakly had appeared.
"Afternoon," Benton said. He was as laconic as Bart and Willy.
Something about the landscape made people not want to talk. Benton was a tall, thin man with bad teeth. He kept his distance from Bart and Willy as did his dog, Shep. Shep had been barking until Bart and Willy got out of the truck. With his nose twitching from the scent of death, Shep shrank back behind his master.
"In the barn," Benton said. He motioned with his hand before leading his visitors into the depths of the dark barn. Stopping at a pen, he poined over the rail.
Bart and Willy ventured to the edge of the pen and looked in. They wrinkled their noses. The area reeked of fresh manure.
Within the pen an obviously sick cow was lying in its own diarrhea. Raising its wobbly head, she gazed back at Bart and Willy. One of her pupils was the color of gray marble.
"What's with the eye?" Willy asked.
"Been that way since she was a calf," Benton said. "Got poked or something."
"She only been sick since this morning?" Bart asked.
"That's right," Benton said. "But she's been down on her milk for almost a month. I want her out'a here before my other cows get the runs."
"We'll take her, all right," Bart said.
"Is it still twenty-five bucks to haul her to the renderer?" Benton asked.
"Yup," Willy said. "But can we hose her off before putting her in the truck?"
"Be my guest," Benton said. "There's hose right over there against the wall."
Willy went to get the hose while Bart opened the gate to the pen. Trying to be careful where he put his feet, Bart gave the cow a few swats on its rump. Reluctantly it rose to its feet and tottered.
Willy came back with the hose and squirted the cow until it looked relatively clean. Then he and Bart got behind the cow and coaxed it out of the pen. With added help from Benton they got the animal oustide and into the van. Willy closed the truck's back door.
"What'd ya got in there -- about four head?" Benton asked.
"Yup," Willy said. "All four dead this morning. There's some kind of infection over at the Silverton Farm."
"Criminy," Benton said with alarm. He slapped a few wrinkled greenbacks into Bart's palm. "Get them the hell off my spread."
Bart and Willy both spat as they rounded their respective sides of the truck. The tired engine let out a belch of black smoke before propelling the vehicle out of the farm.
As was their habit Bart and Willy didn't speak again until the truck reached the pavement of the county road. Bart accelereated and finally got the van into fourth gear.
"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Bart asked.
"I imagine," Willy said. "That cow didn't look half bad after we hosed her down. Hell, it looks a mite better'n that one we sold to the slaughterhouse last week."
"And it can stand and even walk a little," Bart said.
Willy glanced at his watch. "Just about the right time too."
The 4-D men did not speak again until they pulled off the county road onto the track that ran around a low slung, almost windowless, large commercial building. A billboard-sized sign said: HIGGINS AND HANCOCK. At the rear of the building was an empty stockyard that was a sea of trampled mud.
"You wait here," Bart said, as he pulled to a stop near the chute that lead from the stockyard into the factory.
Bart got out of the van and disappeared down the chute. Willy got out and leaned up against the van's rear door. Five minutes later Bart reappeared with two burly men dressed in bloodstained long white coats, yellow plastic construction helmets, and yellow midcalf rubber boots. Both sported a name tag. The heavier man's name tag said: JED STREET, SUPERVISOR. The other man's said: SALVATORE MORANO, QUALITY CONTROL. Jed had a clipboard.
Bart gestured to Willy, and Willy unlatched the van's rear door and opened it. Salvatore and Henry covered their noses and peered inside. The sick cow raised its head.
Jed turned to Bart. "Can the animal stand?"
"Sure can. She can even walk a little."
Jed looked at Salvatore. "What do you think, Sal?"
"Where's the SME inspector?" Salvatore asked.
"Where do you think?" Jed said. "He's in the locker room, where he goes as soon as he thinks the last animal has come through."
Salvatore lifted the tail of his white coat to get at a two-way radio attached to his belt. He switched it on and held it up to his lips. "Gary, did that last combo bin that's going to Mercer Meats get filled?"
The answer came back accompanied by static: "Almost."
"Okay," Salvatore said in to the radio. "We're sending in one more animal. That will more than do it."
Salvatore switched off his radio and looked at Jed. "Let's do it."
Jed nodded and turned to Bart. "Looks like you got a deal, but as I said, we'll only pay fifty bucks."
Bart nodded. "Fifty bucks is okay."
While Bart and Willy climbed into the back for the van, Salvatore walked back down the chute. From his pocket he pulled out a couple of earplugs that he put in his ears. As he entered the slaughterhouse, his mind was no longer concerned about the sick cow. He was concerned about the myriad forms he still had to fill out before he could think of going home.
With his earplugs in place, Salvatore wasn't troubled by the noise as he traversed the kill-floor aread of the slaughterhouse. He approached Mark Watson, the line supervisor, and got his attention.
"We got one more animal coming through," Salvatore yelled over the din. "But it's only for boneless beef. There'll be no carcass. Got it?"
Mark made a circle with his thumb and index finger to indicate he understood.
Salvatore then passed through the soundproof door that led into the administrative area of the building. Entering his office, he hung up his bloodied coat and construction helmet. He sat down at his desk and went back to his daily forms.
Concentrating as hard as he was, Salvatore wasn't sure how much time had passed when Jed suddenly appeared at his door. "We got a slight problem," Jed said.
"Now what?" Salvatore asked.
"The head of that downer cow fell off the rail."
"Did any of the inspectors see it?" Salvatore asked.
"No," Jed said. "They're all in the locker room with the SME for their daily chitchat."
"Then put the head back on the rail and hose it off."
"Okay," Jed said. "I thought you should know."
"Absolutely," Salvatore said. "To cover our asses I'll even fill out a Process Deficiency Report. What's the lot and head number of that animal?"
Jed looked down at his clipboard. "Lot thirty-six, head fifty-seven."
"Got it," Salvatore said.
Jed left Salvatore's office and returned to the kill floor. He tapped José on the shoulder. José was a sweeper whose job it was to sweep all the filth from the floor into one of the many grates. José had not been working there very long. It was a chronic problem keeping sweepers because of the nature of the job.
José didn't speak much English and Jed's Spanish wasn't much better, so he was reduced to communicating by crude gestures. Jed motioned that he wanted José to help Manuel, one of the skinners, to heft the skinned cow's head from the floor onto one of the hooks on the moving overhead rail.
Eventually José caught on. Luckily José and Manuel could communicate without difficulty, because the job required two steps and significant effort. First they had to get the hundred-plus-pound head up onto the metal catwalk. Then, after climbing up there themselves, they had to hoist the head up high enough to secure it on one of the moving hooks.
Jed gave a thumbs-up sign to the two panting men, who at the last second had almost dropped their slippery burden. Jed then trained a jet of water on the soiled skinless head as it moved along on the rail. Even to the hardened Jed the appearance of the cataractous eye gave the skinned head a gruesome aura. But he was pleased with how much of the filth came off with the high-pressure water, and by the time the head passed through the aperture in the kill-floor wall on its way into the head-boning room, it looked relatively clean.

The Javits-Frasier Scholarship for Diverse Talent Development is a scholarship program that trains teachers and counselors to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged kids who have great potential.
Initiated by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), the Javits-Frasier Scholarship Fund for Diverse Talent Development seeks to:
In a recent Fordham Institute study examining the status of high-achieving students , researchers found that most teachers feel pressure to focus primarily on their lowest achieving students and neglect the high achievers, even though this offends their sense of fairness.
In classrooms today the problems are real, the gap is wide. The NAGC Javits-Frasier Fund seeks to give educators a once-a-lifetime opportunity to discover how their knowledge, training and commitment can make a difference in the lives of children and the future of our nation.
Your $900 contribution will fund one educator
How Can You Support the Javits-Frasier Scholarship Fund for Diverse Talent Development?
1. Contribute as an individual to the Fund. Our fundraising goal is to thank our continuing supporters and at least 50 new Fund contributors at the NAGC Annual Convention.
2. Contribute as a organization or corporation to the Fund. Think about ways in which your members can pool their donations. In addition, NAGC appreciates your suggestions for companies or businesses NAGC may contact.
3. Nominate a teacher or counselor from a Title I school to receive the scholarship. They in turn will learn how to find and challenge high-ability learners from poverty.

The objective of the Speaker Development Program is to create and develop a pool of qualified instructors that are trained and experienced in providing a quality education experience. This program also provides a resource for professionals that are interested in improving their communication skills. After successful completion of the speaker development program, speakers are entered into the TSPS Approved Speakers Pool.
Speaker Pool
To become a registered presenter, the Education Committee must approve the candidate's education, qualifications and experience. Only those professionals with qualified relevant experience and demonstrated communication skills will be approved to present TSPS Brand courses.
Speaker Training
As part of the training and development process, certain communication courses should be completed. TSPS education committee will suggest or approve courses that cover a variety of topics related to adult training, education and communication. TSPS will develop TSPS Brand Seminars designed toward developing speaking and training skills. Examples of such courses are:
• Presentation Skills – understanding various presentation styles, establishing the right presentation type for the topic.
• Public Speaking – Learning to speak before large groups. (Toastmasters, community college courses)
• Learning and Instruction – Fundamentals of instruction, adult education, use of handouts and visual aids.
To be accepted in the TSPS Approved Speakers Pool, the candidate must submit an application to the TSPS office. The applicant will be evaluated on his or her communication style, professional experience and expertise. The Education Committee will review all applications. Upon successful review and approval, the candidate will become part of the pool of speakers that are available to present TSPS Brand Seminars. See Speaker Pool Application Form.
Peer Review
An important component of speaker development is feedback and review. Course evaluations will be reviewed by the Education Committee to insure that each registered speaker is providing a quality education experience.
Speaker Fees
Most seminar presenters are volunteers who donate their time and energy for the benefit of TSPS. In the cases where speakers are paid, the fee will be in accordance with the TSPS Seminar Policy & Symposium Policy.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
For the second time in a month, rumors have been swirling that Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki are engaged. Last month, Serena Williams' hitting partner made everyone believe the power couple had taken the next step in their relationship with a prank on Twitter. Then on Friday, reports surfaced that Wozniacki showed up to the Brisbane International sporting a diamond ring on her left ring finger.
According to McIlroy, the couple is not engaged. The world's No. 1 golfer said that the rumors are untrue in a short statement on Friday afternoon.
"On behalf of Rory McIlroy I would like to confirm that he has NOT become engaged to Caroline Wozniacki as was originally reported in Australian press," the statement said according to The Score. "Rory is in Australia to support Caroline before he heads in January to Abu Dhabi."
Adding to the speculation earlier this week was this photo. As some of our commenters pointed out, you can see a tiny speck on Caroline's left ring finger that could potentially be some sort of ring, but the photo is not nearly clear enough to tell.
On one hand, I'm inclined to subscribe to the "where there's smoke, there's fire" theory. On the other hand, Rory and Woz seem to love the public spotlight and showing everyone how much they adore each other. In fact, it even gets sickening at times. Are they really the type of couple that would keep an engagement a secret? It seems unlikely.

Today, the House of Representatives passed a Dirty Air Act to block the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from limiting the carbon dioxide pollution of the nation's biggest polluters. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) and Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), would also block future updates to the climate pollution limits for automobiles—updates that could further decrease the amount of costly gasoline on which Americans are dependent.
The following statement is from Earthjustice legislative representative Stephanie Maddin:
"Today the House passed a bill by Rep. Fred Upton and Ed Whitfield that will bail out big polluters from any responsibility for their excessive carbon dioxide pollution while costing Americans at the gas pump, damaging our health, and costing us in hospital bills.
"Yesterday, the Senate rejected a nearly identical measure by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), but unfortunately, the corporate special interests behind this Upton-Whitfield bill have found many more close friends in the House of Representatives, which has quickly become hostile ground for Americans who care about the health of their children, their right to breathe clean air, and their right to drink clean water.
"The science shows us that carbon dioxide pollution is expected to exacerbate asthma and lung diseases by worsening smog, and to increase deadly heat waves and extreme weather conditions. Carbon dioxide pollution and climate change pose far-reaching threats to this country and the businesses that keep us running, including increased risk of heavy storm surges and flooding, harm to clean drinking water supplies, significant crop failures, and disease outbreaks.
"With the passage of this bill in the House, the House majority has put polluter interests over the public interest. It's a shameful day in the House of Representatives, who were hired to protect the American people, not corporate interests and big polluters.
"And as we have heard in today's press reports, the House majority is not stopping with this bill in its efforts to block public health protections. They are also attempting to hijack the federal budget bill and use it as a vehicle for meeting these big polluter requests to block clean air controls.
"Will the situation get worse? Will the federal government shut down because House leadership is selfishly and stubbornly insisting on using the federal budget bill as a way to forward an ideological policy agenda?
"Our lives and our health are too important to be laid to waste by some political bargain."

About Environmental Aspects of Real Estate and Commercial Transactions
This comprehensive guide examines the issues, problems and pitfalls involved in the intersection of real estate, business, and environmental law. A unique and practical resource, this updated fourth edition of
Environmental Aspects of Real Estate and Commercial Transactions
covers the entire range of environmental issues that arise when real estate is developed, operated, sold, or financed.
Edited by James B. Witkin, the chapters in this compendium are written by a team of accomplished real estate, environmental, tax, land use, and business lawyers and technical experts, in private practice, corporations, government, and law schools. All chapters have been substantially revised to reflect changes in law and practice. The clearly written, detailed, and timely chapters cover all aspects of the environmental issues that must be considered in the purchase, sale, or finance of office, retail, manufacturing, or multifamily properties. The book's 29 chapters are organized into five parts for quick access to pertinent information:
Part I: Basic issues of environmental liability
-- both statutory and under the common law. These chapters deal with the critical issue of lender liability, environmental disclosure requirements and criminal environmental liability.
Part II: Environmental due diligence
. Covers the environmental audit process, the role of environmental consultants, and the science necessary for understanding consultants' reports.
Part III: Environmental matters in the transactional and business context
. Includes chapter on how deals are structured and documented to allocate environmental risks, landlord-tenant environmental issues, tax issues related to environmental clean-ups, environmental disclosures under securities laws, and environmentally related bankruptcy issues. This part also features chapters on brownfields, institutional controls often used at brownfields sites, and environmental insurance.
Part IV: The most common environmental problems affecting developed properties
. Topics include underground storage tanks, asbestos, lead-based paint, indoor air pollution, and mold.
Part V: Environmental problems that arise in the land development process
. Chapters focus on wetlands, endangered species, stormwater issues, the constitutional "takings" implications of environmental laws, environmental justice, conservation easements, environmental issues related to the development of former military bases, and the emerging topic of smart growth.
What Others Are Saying...
"This book is a valuable resource to practitioners dealing with issues at the intersection of environmental and real estate law. Now in the fourth edition, the book has an up-to-date discussion of the evolving business and regulatory concerns with real estate liability and transactions. Part I discusses environmental liability for owners as well as lenders and fiduciaries. Part II covers environmental due diligence in transactions, including the ASTM standards, the due diligence defense, and working with environmental consultants. Part III discusses issues in structuring transactions, including allocating environmental liability, brownfields development, institutional controls, tax, bankruptcy and insurance issues. Part IV tackles the important issue of how to deal with the results of an audit, with specific chapters on underground storage tanks, asbestos, lead-based paint, vapor intrusion, and mold. Finally, Part V deals with important environmental laws that may affect land development, including regulatory takings, wetlands, the Endangered Species Act, environmental justice, conservation easements, and smart growth. This is a comprehensive book that will be useful to any environmental lawyer who deals with transactions involving property, landowner liability or land use issues."

Past Chair, ABA Section of Environment, Energy and Resources
"Edited by Jim Witkin and contributed to by a star cast of environmental experts, this is just what any lawyer would want as a quick but thorough reference to the challenges and perils of environmental law relating to real estate. The thorough, in-depth analysis of environmental laws, rules, regulations and case law is a must-have shelf book for every lawyer in a commercial transaction confronted with potential environmental issues."

Columbia >Food & Dining > Moe's Southwest Grill
625 Main St, Columbia, SC | Directions 2920133.994003 -81.030554
Mon. - Sun. 10:30am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Midtown - Downtown
Very Good, Very Crowded – The Moe's on main in Columbia was really good overall. The food is great and they have the new Coke machines with the touchscreens that you can mix the drinks together with. The people are really friendly and I have never had trouble with the service, even during high traffic hours like Moe Mondays. Which comes to my one complaint about it. During the busy day's at this place, to use the word "crowded" to describe it would be an understatement. Lines are literally coming out the door and going down the street by 6:00 on Moe Monday and you can be in line for around 20 minutes probably if you don't time your arrival well. Other than the cramped space with so many people, Moe's on Main is definitely a great place to eat in Columbia.

Stats from Baseball Reference and WorldBaseballClassic.com accurate as of 8/15
Much is made about whether the World Baseball Classic is actually good for baseball and often the discussion leads back to whether the players are able to prepare for the regular season properly. This is the perfect time to look back and see if it negatively affected the players involved during the regular season. The 2013 Classic is the best example so far as the winning team, the Dominican Republic, decided to go all out, maxing out their pitchers allowed innings and playing their starters every single day, while most other teams tried to keep things more Spring Training like.
The primary focus and worry about the Classic has been based around the pitching staffs. The worry has been that because they are being thrown into real games when they would normally be working slowly to increase pitch counts and work on individual pitches. In the 2013 Classic, 39 pitches participated that have already played in the 2013 regular season. Of these pitchers, Samuel Deduno (DR) pitched the most innings with 13, with Chien-Ming Wang and Edinson Volquez the only others to throw at least 10 innings. In order to judge these players on an equal level, we will simply compare their WAR from 2012 with their WAR to this point in 2013. Remember that we are only through about 85% of the season, so the numbers from 2013 should be slightly lower anyway.
Overall, the 39 pitchers from the 2013 WBC averaged a WAR of 1.19 in the 2012 regular season (four players did not play that season). In 2013 that same group has averaged just 0.73 WAR (considering the decrease in playing time, they would need 1.02 WAR to equal the 2013 numbers). This would seem like on the surface, there may be something to the negative stigma facing the WBC, but we need to delve a little deeper to see the true story.
The biggest difference in WAR between the two seasons belongs to team USA ace, R.A. Dickey. For the first seven years of Dickey's career, he was a below average pitcher, finally turning things around with the Mets in 2010. He was the surprise Cy Young winner in the NL in 2012 and the Mets thought so little of him, they immediately dumped him and his knuckleball on the Blue Jays. Knuckle-ballers are generally the most unpredictable of pitchers and it should be no surprise that Dickey did not repeat his 2012 campaign this year with Toronto. Similarly, the second biggest fall of was Dominican Republic (and Tampa Bay) closer, Fernando Rodney. Rodney struggled through nine seasons with a career ERA of more than 4.00 before his record setting season last year. His surprise in 2013 should be that his ERA is only 4.15, still lower than his average for his first seven years in Detroit.
On the other side of the coin, the most used pitcher in the WBC, Deduno, has excelled this year in his second season. He has increased his WAR by a full win, becoming a solid starter for the Twins at the age of 30. There have also been a few pitchers having statistical oddity seasons to oppose the Dickey and Rodney outliers. Derek Holland and Anibal Sanchez have both been decent pitchers over the years, but are currently both having career seasons.
Removing these four pitchers (as well as the four 2013 rookies), the remaining pitchers have averaged 0.94 WAR in 2012 and 0.55 WAR in 2013. This is still below the expected production (0.81), until you realize who was playing in the tournament. Out of fear, the greatest pitchers in the league (players like Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez and even Yu Darvish) decided to refrain from playing. Instead of a bullpen full of Major League closers (like Jim Johnson, Joe Nathan and Chris Perez), team USA was forced to go with lesser options like Luke Gregerson, Ross Detwiler and Tim Collins.
If there is any merit to a negative outcome from the World Baseball Classic, it is to be found in the relief pitchers. Thirteen of the nineteen players to see a decrease in WAR between 2012 and 2013 were relievers. Some of these pitchers are old (like Jeremy Affeldt, Fransisco Rodriguez and Octavio Dotel are a few) and some had unrealistic goals from last season (like Rodney and Craig Kimbrell), but there were still a few pitchers who are in their prime that have seen significant drop offs after their participation. The Indians own Vinnie Pestano was one of these. While it may make people feel better to blame the Classic for his and others (like the Royals' Collins and Herrera) failures, none of these players were abused in the tournament and most were used exactly as they would have been during the Spring. Pestano for an example was only used for two innings and never in consecutive games. Glen Perkins was also on team USA and had an almost identical stat line to Pestano during the tournament, but has had a very good season for the Twins, almost identical to last year. The fact is that relief pitchers are the most inconsistent players from one year to the next and these particular players falling off has little to nothing to do with the World Baseball Classic.
Because there were some injuries coming out of the WBC this year and some players have had sub-par seasons (like Ryan Braun and Nelson Cruz who will miss half of 2013 after being suspended), the World Baseball Classic will likely continue to have a poor reputation among players, fans and management. No one will really look at things objectively to see that the players that are truly great that participated (like Miguel Cabrera, Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Votto) are still great and the injuries that occurred during and after are no worse than those that happen during normal Spring Training activities. If there is a problem with the WBC, it will be solved by more great players participating, not less.
Derek Holland used his WBC appearance to launch a career year.

PREVIEW: Levante eye Sevilla response
Levante goalkeeper Keylor Navas believes the midweek humbling at the hands of Melilla must be put to one side when the team return to La Liga action on Sunday.
Levante are riding high in the table, heading into the weekend fixtures in sixth position, but were on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat to Segunda B opposition in the first leg of their Copa del Rey fourth-round match.
Navas was one of the players drafted in for the cup clash and is likely to cede his starting spot back to Gustavo Munua.
And his message to his club-mates was to get back to a winning mentality when they face Sevilla on Sunday.
Osasuna winger Sisi will put sentiment to one side when he steps out against former club Real Valladolid on Sunday.
Sisi had two spells with newly-promoted Valladolid before moving to Los Rojillos over the summer.
He retains a strong fondness for his former club but his loyalties are now with Osasuna.
Real Sociedad captain Xabi Prieto is hoping that clear-the-air talks amongst the squad can propel them back to winning ways when they host Espanyol.
Sociedad have taken just one point from their last three league games and were beaten 2-0 by Segunda Division side Cordoba in the Copa del Rey in midweek, meaning they have still to win away from home in six attempts this season, and Prieto is all too aware that record is not good enough.
Deportivo defender Manuel Pablo believes his side have to start turning their dominance of the ball into chances and goals if they are to escape the relegation zone this weekend by beating Mallorca.
Granada coach Juan Antonio Anquela has called on his team to give their utmost from the outset when they host fellow La Liga strugglers Athletic Bilbao.

The children of the Empire were arming for the Game.
Vrenn was a Lancer. He tested the adhesion of his thick-soled boots, adjusted a strap and found them excellent. He flexed his shoulders within their padding -- the armor was slightly stiff with newness; he would have to allow for that.
Vrenn's Lance still hung on its charge rack. He leaned into the wall cabinet, read full charge on the indicator, and carefully lifted the weapon out. The Lance was a cylinder of metal and crystal, as thick as his palm was wide. He rested its blank metal, Null end on the floor, and the glass Active tip just reached his... see more

I am Gary Walsh. I grew up in the Park. Moved to Montreal in '73 and
Toronto in '76.
2- Why do you view the site ? and would you like to see changes
I view the site to see what's up with Greenfield Park and those who live
or used to live there.
I like most stuff on the blog, but I think that it needs more focus.
The blog has too high a volume of posts. I like the jokes and pretty
pictures and videos, but they don't necessarily have anything to do with
Greenfield Park. I would like to see a more narrowly focused blog about
Greenfield Park and it's present and former residents. Perhaps you
could make a separate joke blog or photo blog for other stuff.
Also, I think that you should lose the sappy religious nonsense posts.
This is the 21st century. There are no gods. Enough said.
3 - Where are you located ? Country/City ... what ever
Now living in Kitchener, ON.
Thanks Gary W. Your point regarding more focus is well taken. If more people, like yourself, would take the time to send in little bits of information and photo's from their past then there would be fewer jokes and more focus.
Marty has worked the blog for 4 years now and continually tries to inspire Parkers to submit stories whether from the past or present however not all readers are as familiar with todays technology as you or I. The purpose of the survey, and Marty was not aware that I intended to do this, is to see who our readers are and to perhaps inspire our audience.
So far it appears to be working as usual.

POWERLIFTING: Shotton-Gale beats cold to finish fifth at worlds (From This Is Wiltshire)
Latest News RSS Feed
POWERLIFTING: Shotton-Gale beats cold to finish fifth at worlds
6:00am Saturday 7th December 2013 in Latest News By Ned Payne
A DOSE of the sniffles did not prevent Charlie Shotton-Gale from finishing fifth at the World Powerlifting Championships in Norway.
Coming up against the world's top lifters brought the best out of Swindon's four-time British champion, who improved her world ranking from seventh.
Naturally the personal trainer, who gained an international personal best of 202.5k in the squats, was delighted to meet her pre-event target.
"My goal was to reach fifth in the world and I'm absolutely thrilled to have achieved that, despite competing with a cold," said Shotton-Gale.
In addition to her squats PB, Shotton-Gale also totalled 185k in the deadlift and 122.5k in the bench press, not far off the British records that she plans to break next year.
The Swindonian, currently studying strength and conditioning at St. Mary's University College, is now training hard for the equipped European Championships in Bulgaria in May.
That competition will be swiftly followed by the unequipped World Championships in South Africa in June, with the equipped World Championships taking place in the Unites States in November.
Sponsored by her SG Fitness company, Swindon-based Mike McGuire Family Butcher and Lyneham-based Princess Homecare, Shotton-Gale is seeking further backing in order to get to next year's equipped European Championships.
Shotton-Gale has trained world record holder and European champion Dawn Morrell, a fellow Swindonian.

RENO - Bishop Manogue's girls like to run with the basketball, and Carson was ill-equipped to deal with the running.
The Miners consistently beat the Senators downcourt for easy baskets en route to a 77-56 triumph Saturday afternoon in a Sierra League contest.
"That was the first time we played a game that had any kind of pace, and we weren't ready for it," Carson coach Nathan Tolbert said. "We spotted them too many points in the first half. We played them even the second half. They went to their bench and we went to our bench."

The Vidyashankara temple was built in commemoration of the pontiff Vidyashankara, around 1357-58 C.E.The temple hall features 12 pillars designated for the 12 signs of the zodiac. Windows and doors along the temple walls are arranged such that equinoxes sunrise views reach the deity. The northern and southern gates enable the sunrise view from the hall during solstices.The niches in the temple have a number of sculptures from Hindu, Buddhist and Jain mythologies. Inscriptions in the temple record contributions made by several Vijayanagara emperors but the temple was probably built on an earlier Hoysala site as it combines Hoysala and Vijayanagara architectural features. The temple architecture is also an exhibition of the astronomical expertise of medieval south Indian temple builders.

RUGBY: Devizes 2nd 15 Minety 29 (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

RUGBY: Devizes 2nd 15 Minety 29
4:30pm Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in Sport
MINETY moved up to second in the table with a hard-fought bonus-point win to extend Devizes' winless run to seven matches.
The visitors scored first with a penalty from skipper Jack Ward, but Devizes fly-half Gareth Davies soon replied in kind.
Late in the half, Minety's Pete Hazell pounced on loose ball, broke two tackles before offloading to fly-half Tom Fitzcharles, who drew the last defender and slipped the ball to scrum-half Duncan Simpson, who went over, Ward adding the extras.
Just before the break, Tom Windle caught the restart and ploughed through five tackles before Davies hauled him down five metres short. Quick rucking kept the move alive and Simpson whisked the ball to Fitzcharles to go over, Ward agains converting to make it 17-3.
Playing on the wing despite a recent career at prop, Martin Coe added to Minety's score five minutes into the second half with a 30-metre dash that capped a series of swift rucks.
Devizes came back strongly, camping on their opponents' line. Under pressure in the scrum, Minety repeatedly offended and the referee awarded a penalty try. Davies kicking the conversion.
Minety moved Dale Langdown to fly-half, where his pace and vision created plentiful attacking opportunities.
When Devizes spilled possession having apparently halted the visitors' latest attack, flanker Steve Brown plunged for the line and, tackled just short, popped a pass to Simpson who touched down.
Another kick from Ward made it 27-10 but Devizes had the last word as centre Craig Hurcombe drew his man and offloaded to full-back Eddy Darragh, who went over for the final try.

I get asked this question a lot, so I thought I'd try and put together a few short instructions about how your CV should look as a newly qualified nurse.
You first need to decide which type of CV you will need, and there are two types of NQ nurse CV – those whose first career is nursing, and those who are changing career to nursing. Your CV should be presented according to which of the two options above you are. If nursing is your first career, then you can probably check out my other post on how to put together a nursing cv.
If you're changing career to nursing, then a slightly different layout is required. The best way to think of the order of priority is to remember that the CV you're about to create is for a nursing position, so it should be primarily focused around the skills, education and experience you have in that industry. You will undoubtedly have skills from your previous career that can be applied in nursing, and it's those that you should include with a greater priority than those which won't be of any use. Eg knowledge of accounting procedure might not be so valuable but attention to detail and a logical approach definitely are.
So my advice is to start with (after your contact details obviously, which should always be at the top) your nursing qualification, information about the placements completed with particular reference to those that are relevant to the position you are applying for, and information about the practical and personal skills you have acquired. Make sure you highlight any previous healthcare experience in this section. You should then include your personal statement, which should be focused towards why you are suitable for the position, a summary of your learning outcomes achieved during your course and your goals for the future if you were to be offered the position.
Once you've got everything that's related to nursing and healthcare included, you can then move on to your previous employment experience and qualifications. Make sure you tailor as much of it as possible towards your new career and explain how your background has given you the ideal grounding to be a nurse. It doesn't matter what your previous experience is, as long as you can show why you're committed to being a nurse and how your past experience makes you ideal for the role, you'll be in with a good chance.
If you prefer a visual description of a nursing CV, click this link to take you to a previous post showing an example CV.
Good Luck!

(on tap at Victoria Freehouse - served in a proper 20oz pint)
A: light copper color, clear... bit of frothy foam on the pour, but little-no retention, not even a thin cap or film... boring
S: aromas are ultra-faint, not enough alcohol to carry them? - the glass doesn't help either - even warm, I couldn't get much... what you do get is a bit of a mineral, mild leafy scent (scant esters + hops).... also, some lightly-toasted dinner roll
T: the flavors pop a good bit more.... certain mineral bitterness throughout, at a comfortable yet lively level.... pleasing, slow swell of light caramel in the finish... extremely clean overall - apple-y esters are showcased with a soft, subtle grassy-grainy malt in the background... about what I expected, at the least
M: bright, crisp, and clean... only a smidge of roundness in the body... thankfully, not spritzy or fuzzy - they set the pressure right on!.... very refreshing, if a little filling, volume-wise
O: I could almost tell in a blind taste test that this was the Fuller's yeast... the flavors are on-point but perhaps a bit more subtle than I would have expected... I could drink a couple of these, but I'd likely opt for something with a bit more dimension

This is yet another beer from my July 2012 notebook that I had misplaced. I had it on tap at that time at Toad in the Hole, Santa Rosa, the local Sonoma County go-top place for British beers, among others.
Dark bronze, it had a small off-white head slowly shrinking to foamy ring.
Aroma was nice juicy grain, herbs, ripe apples, hint of lemon.
Taste was nice juicy grain, mineral, leafy woody hop and pepper, slightly bitter.
Overall, it is a very good English bitter, light and lean with clear hop leanings, but approachable and easily drinkable.

I had it within Fuller's plant, couldn't be fresher.
Clear golden color.
Mild but nice herbal aroma and hints of grains.
Sweet malty taste and herbal hops.
Light body with light carbonation and small bubbles.
Light English bitter, got it more refreshing and with higher drinkability than some similar peers, though I found it somewhat watery. Good as a session beer.

Pale brass with pitted white head that clings. Steely grain, sour melon and cut hay on the nose, opens into honey grahams.
Golden crunch biscuits with plenty of toast some woody and surprisingly floral hops.
Golden sultana finish and herbal linger. Light, watery but also oily, crisp.
Gets the hops across, especially for the strength. Oily body is unexpected and boosts the body in what's otherwise not gonna have much sugar in it. A very doable session bitter.

This is a good english bitter, but not the best. It's a little safe, to be honest. It's hoppy but could be more so, a little watery. It feels nice though, and goes down smooth and refreshing. British ale is just plain good, so an average one will still be worth drinking. Smells malty and grassy, but not too strong. With the low alcohol it makes a great beer to drink tons of. Worth getting, just a little on the safe side.

3.58/5 rDev -3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5
The colour is gold-amber (10 EBC), the liquid is clear. The finger thick compact head is off-white, it sinks quite quickly leaving some lacing.
The smell is malty and smooth with lots of caramel and toffee. It is quite sweet. Smooth dry bitterness. Dried fruits; apricots and red apples. Subtle notes of dark bread.
The taste is smooth. Caramelised sugar, dried apricots, dark toast bread. Hints of tart fruits and flowery hops. A delicate bitterness with some metal. Medium body. The aftertaste is mild with more malts and dried fruits, but also growing notes of minerals. The finish is semi-sweet with some hay.
The carbonation is medium to mild, the small bubbles smooth. The liquid is semi-smooth and a little dry.
This beer got some problems: The metal hints in the bitterness, the somewhat dense minerals in the finish. Still, it is one of the best 3.5 % beers around.

The beer is light copper toned, medium sized bubbles with a white head, leaving some lacing, small curtains.
The smell is mainly from the hops, grass and nettles, but also some honey and lemon.
A typical Digestive biscuits taste upfront, pears, then some lemon peel.
Low carbonation, refreshing and smooth, a dry finish.
A very nice low-alcohol bitter.

A: Pours a three finger head. It is White with uneven sizen bubbles. Crystal clear liquid colored golden/amber. Leaves lots of lacings on the glass. Looks very nice all in all.
S: Earthy. Rye. Hints of caramel malts and flowers.
T: Not as bitter as I expected. I expected to find some bitterness in a Bitter, but this one lacks almost all the bitterness. Tastes rye bread, hints of English hops and green paprika.
M: I was surprised to find it rather heavy. The carbonation is strong with lots of bubbles tickeling the tongue. The alcohol is barely present, naturally for a beer of 3.5 ABV.
O: For being a beer I can pick up any day from my local grocery store this one is quite OK when compared to the alternatives. I wouldn't buy it on tap if I had the chance.

On cask at a Fuller's pub in south London.
Very light golden colour with a quickly-dissipating head. It is light bodied, as one would expect from such a low-alcohol session ale. Flavours are still fairly impressive, though - bread, grain, and floral hops with a delicate, subtle bitterness. Extremely drinkable and refreshing while still providing satisfying flavour.

4.05/5 rDev +9.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured out of a bottle into an imperial pint glass with a best before date of 2 Jun 2012.
A- Light gold, just a shade or two darker than your average pilsner. Head rises quickly and falls just as fast, leaving just a few bubbles at the top of the beer. There is very minimal lacing.
S- Nothing to powerful here. A bit of malt character, almost like the smell of raw barley, with a moderate floral kick from the hops. Nothing really impressive as far as smell goes.
T- As one would expect with an alcohol content so low, the taste is very mild and nothing stands out as a dramatic, defining characteristic. This beer, rather, is the sum of it's components; a subtle sweetness from the malt combining with mild floral, earthy notes from the hops. Not too bitter on the aftertaste; it leaves more of a slight tingle than the typical tongue-numbing hop bite.
M- Light and smooth. Great for a low-alcohol bitter.
O- This beer is not the bold-flavorful "hop forward" beer that many of my fellow American hop heads would expect, but it is an excellent English Bitter. For a beer with such a low alcohol content, this beer still comes through beautifully with a light, easy drinking, flavorful beer. Great session beer.

Bottle my parents brought back from London. From notes.
A - Poured a coppery colour with a one finger white head that went fast. Bright with mild carbonation. No retention, no lace.
S - Earth, some citrus, mild malt. Grassy. Nice malt base. Nice biscuity/hoppy aroma.
T - Grassy, herbal, bready. Good malt base again. Toffee and citrus too.
M - Mild carbonation, light-ish body. Very light bitterness. Clean.
O/D - A nice bitter. I've had this on cask at the Fuller's brewery and it tasted better there, but I enjoyed the bottled version too. Great flavour for the ABV. Definitely a session beer.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Aug 2011.
Poured into a Sam Smith's pint glass. A clear golden-amber colour with plentiful carbonation. Yields a small head of frothy white foam that subsides after a minute or so. Aroma of caramel malt with hints of diacetyl and dry aromatic hops.
Tastes of light malt with a mild bitterness. Notes of caramel and flowery aromatic hops, with a subtle background hint of diacetyl and solvent. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry. Faint aftertaste of light, bitter malt.
A decent bitter, though probably better on cask. Aroma is a bit weak, but the flavour is nicely rounded with a definite hint of aromatic hops (sadly lacking in many 'session' bitters). Drinkable if you don't want anything too challenging.

On nitro at The Englander, appropriately served in an imperial pint glass. On to the beer:
Translucent light copper in the body. Shiny. The thick creamy head from the nitro-tap forms a good deal of lacing that sticks to the glass. The nose brings simple esters and a little husk note.
At first, I get a sourdough note which quickly fades away for good. In comes some simple esters, and later on as the beer warms up, the taste of honey. It tastes a little stronger than its listed 3.5% ABV, and it feels more full bodied that expected.
I was thirlled to find the Chiswick Bitter in the US, even if it were on nitro. I wouldn't mind doing a few pints in a session, even if it's supppose to be a shadow of itself stateside.

On cask at Kickoff in Waterloo.
Poured into a Fuller's Honeydew glass. Medium amber hue, clear, with only a bit of bubbly foam around the edges, as can be expected.
Nose is tea, caramel, floral hops, a bit of bread.
A nice mild bitter, really hit the spot after a long bar shift. Tea, bread, caramel, usual suspects. A bit watery, but that is to be expected.
Thin-bodied, mild carbonation, easy to quaff.
As far as a session bitter goes, this wasn't bad at all. It took me about two pints of this to finally figure the brew out and train my mind not to see this as Fullers Light, but rather as its own entity. As a mild ale, Chiswick went down easy with a low ABV and decent cask ale flavor.

Cask conditioned at the Blackbird, Earls Court, London (a Fuller's pub). Served at cellar temperature, minimal natural carbonation, low head. Golden to amber colour. Moderate citrussy aroma, hints of horse stable. Light bodied, decent bitterness. A nice little beer this one, but nothing to knock your socks off.

On cask at The Blackbird (Fuller's Ale House) in Earl's Court, London.
A-Pours a transparent ruby with a thin khaki head that reduces to bubbles. No lacing.
S-Mild. Pale malts, traces of bright hoppiness.
T/M-Very subtle. Flavors of roasted nuts, fresh baked bread, oats and creme brulee. A bit hoppier than the average English bitter, which is a plus in my book. Soft and light with a lingering finish.
D-Given the plethora of other options, this wouldn't be on the top of my list. Still, it's a fine beer, and one worth seeking out.

On-tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad
A: The pour is a copper sort of color with a short lived cream colored head.
S: Certainly a strong bread character to the nose that is much of what the aroma is. A light note of grassy and earthy hops, too.
T: The flavor exhibits a fair amount of grassy and herbal hops with just a subtle bitterness. That said, biscuit and bread malts provide the bulk of the flavor.
M: The body is medium with a moderate carbonation that gives the beer a bit of crispness.
D: This fits into the style well; light in flavor and easy to drink. Not overly impressive, but not bad by any means.

Poured a finger short of a full pint at the Churchill arms notting hill. (or Kensington?)
Minimal head fades rapidly. No amount of agitation helps.. No lace (obviously). Clear and light amber in body.
Subtle aroma of light biscuity malts, fresh cut grass and some more traditional English hop aromas. All very subtle.
Light and delicious malt body, like London Pride turned down a notch. Great hit of grassy and dry hops. Finishes very dry and very moreish. Not as complex as some of
my favourite bitters (eg Youngs) but still great for a session.
VeryLight body as to be expected. Smooth as you like with perfect drinkability.
My first chiswick bitter after finally working up the wontons to not go for my favourite fullers: London pride. Definitely worth the visit.

Amber, golden appearance with a nice head.
A very nice, flowery smell and taste, the hops is there all the time, but very gentle, as are other flavours. Possibly even a little sweetness in the finish. Quite complex, and very, very, drinkable, a true session beer.
One of the best bitters.

I had this on tap the Bull's Head Public house in Lititz, PA. Served chilled in a pint.
A - A clear tea-like color of medium copper w/ thin white cap, ringe of lace clings. Small bubbles rise to the top, the bead is fine
S - A mild orange tea arom a w/ subtle hop scents and mild fruit ester from the yeast w/ light herbal hints and mild sweet malt odor.
M - The feel has a moderately high carbonation level w/ light (3.6%)body and subtle tannic drying edge w/ subtle nuttiness and mild tang w/ tingge of hop which adds spice and malt is more toasted w/ gentle dry finish
T - The bitter's flavor is mildly yeasty w/ a nice touch of malt and tea-like herbal hops accenting the lightly sweet flavor in the finish. The taste is very mild w/ a bit of orange rind and light golden apple notes w/ toasted, nutty but not quite biscuity malt w/ mild bran flavor and light hop spice. The beer finish is long and dry
D - A great beer for a session - quality english bitter which is very quaffable. This fits the style well and at 3.6% I could drink this all night probably and still not be bored.

I didnt like this beer very much - a subpar Bitter which was too strongly hopped. A Bitter trying to be an IPA - not good!
The smell and taste was of pungent hops with some Butterscotch nptes and fruity Esters but the whole "composition" seemed kind of random...
I would not drink this again except in an emergency where I needed hops and lots thereof to survive!

Best Cheap Sandwiches San Francisco 2007 - Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop
3380 20th St.
San Francisco, CA 94110
This is, by far, the best place to grab a quick, high-quality sandwich for under $7. We've bought bags of chips that cost nearly that much, but the Pickle, as it's called, won't disappoint. The place is very low-key, and the owner's mother runs the shop, so you know it's good. Try the "Tony Soprano." Like its namesake, it's big, unapologetic, and smokes. Throw in the extra buck for a pickle. Or try the pastrami sandwich. Not for shrinking violets, it's a huge mound of meat and Swiss-cheesy goodness. Heart-healthy veggie sandwiches can be had, as well. Call ahead to order if you can, because the wait can be a bit long. After all, this isn't really fast food.

Hi JF2
If you want a fun to shoot gun buy the 9MM. If you want to put Bear and or Bad Guys on the ground buy the .40S&W.
I have both and prefer my 9MM for fun but shoot the XD40 a bunch so if I ever need to I can hit something with it.
Well, whenever anyone asks me in person what to get for his/her first gun,
I recommend a .22 because the ammo is cheap and recoil is usually
manageable. Rugers, either revolver or semi-auto, are very good low
cost/high qualilty guns.
On the other hand, I do not recommend a Walther PPK, PPK/s or PPK/S-1 to
anyone who does not have any experience with semi-auto handguns.
These are definately not first timer guns. The caliber is small (.380acp aka
9mm Kurtz) but the guns are so small that recoil is noticable.
So, get her a 22 rim fire and let her shoot the heck out of it. Then let her
move up to a center fire is she wishes.
Good luck, have fun, and be safe!

CAIRO — Egyptian security forces stormed a Cairo mosque Saturday after shooting at armed men firing down from a minaret, rounding up hundreds of supporters of the country's ousted president who hid there overnight after violent clashes killed 173 people.
Security officials said officers raided the Ramses Square mosque out of fears the Muslim Brotherhood again planned to set up a sit-in similar to those broken up Wednesday in assaults that killed hundreds of people. The Egyptian government meanwhile announced it had begun deliberations on whether to ban the Brotherhood, a long-outlawed organization that swept to power in the country's first democratic elections a year ago.
Such a ban – which authorities say is rooted in the group's use of violence – would be a repeat to the historic and decades-long power struggle between the state and the Brotherhood. It also could provoke more unrest in Egypt following the July 3 military coup against President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood member.
The assault on the al-Fath Mosque began overnight Friday, as pro-Morsi protesters and armed men fled into the worship center to avoid angry vigilantes and arrest. They piled furniture in the mosque's entrance to block authorities and enraged anti-Morsi protesters from reaching them.
The mosque earlier served as a field hospital and an open-air morgue as a Brotherhood-called day of protests descended into violence. By daybreak Saturday, security forces and armored personnel carriers surrounded the mosque and it appeared that military-led negotiations might defuse the standoff.
Then gunmen took over a mosque minaret and opened fire on the security forces below, the state-run MENA news agency said. The crowd around the mosque panicked as soldiers opened fire with assault rifles, the chaos broadcast live on local television channels.
Several security officials told The Associated Press that ending the standoff at the mosque was essential after receiving information that the group planned to turn it into a new sit-in protest camp. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
On Wednesday, riot police, military helicopters, snipers and bulldozers broke up two sit-in protests by Morsi supporters, leaving more than 600 people dead and thousands injured. That sparked days of violence that killed 173 people and injured 1,330 people on Friday alone, when the Brotherhood called for protests during a "Day of Rage," Cabinet spokesman Sherif Shawki said.
Among those who died Friday was Ammar Badie, a son of Brotherhood spiritual leader Mohammed Badie, the group's political arm said in a statement.
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, later told journalists that authorities had no choice but to use force in the wake of recent violence.
"I feel sorry for valuable blood shed," el-Beblawi said. However, he cautioned that there will be no "reconciliation with those whose hands are stained with blood or those who hold weapons against the country's institutions."
Signaling the Brotherhood's precarious political position, Shawki said the government was considering ordering the group be disbanded. The spokesman said the prime minister had assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, came to power a year ago when its Morsi was elected in the country's first free presidential elections. The election came after the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011.
