Ruins Ch 2
It was after dark when we reached the edge of the forest. Christopher helped me get the helmet off my head, "So this is it?"
I nodded, as I dropped my backpack next to the bike, "Yup, follow me!" I led him to a small shack a few hundred feet away from the road. I opened the door and slammed it shut behind me. I heard static on the communicator, knowing the shack was doing its job, "Listen!"
Christopher yanked the communicator out of his ear, "What the hell is with this place?!"
I grabbed his face with my hands, "Listen, I need you to strip down to sky clad before we can leave."
"What's the meaning of this?" He growled at me.
"I built this shack when I knew that he tagged me with a locator. The walls are made to prevent signals from entering and leaving. I know he put a locator on every piece of clothing you are wearing, along with a microphone. That's why nothing electronic will work here."
He seemed to understand, "That's why he was so happy to give us these clothes…"
I pulled off my jacket and set it on the chair. My coat only had the locator and if it was seen that we both entered, we could fool him. I turned around when I heard him fumble with his clothes in the dark. I found a dresser full of normal clothes and pulled out everything a male could wear. I set them on top of the dresser. "Christopher, I'm going to be right outside. I left you clothes on the dresser that are safe. Keep your old clothes in this shack. Please understand, anything he gave you, you need to leave here."
"I understand." He mumbled irritably.
I nodded, though he could not see it. I opened the door and walked out of the small shack. I leaned against the wall, allowing myself to think, "Ok, I get into the Ruins, find the others, get them out and save the accused men of their fate of prison… How much will the professor have them do to get their freedom…?" I switched my glasses for the sunglasses and smiled as the list I said appeared on the screen.
I heard the door open and Christopher step out. His clothes looked the same, but were off a little from before. I knew he had done what I asked. He looked at me, as if he noticed me for the first time. "In the moonlight…" He shook his head.
"I know I look like the snot-nosed brat you saw this morning. Can we get going?" I knew he was talking about my glowing light skin, but I always denied it to anyone.
"Going? I thought it was here."
I looked at the ground, "It's not. I only said it for the microphone and so we could drop the locators. I'm sorry."
"You swore not to lie!" He shouted at me.
I winced but stood my ground, "You just said when we got down there that I couldn't lie. When we get down there, you will understand why I can't have him find it. I swear it, you won't be led on another goose chase."
"This had better be good." He growled, but he would not allow this to stop him helping me. He got on the bike and waited for me to get on.
I grabbed my backpack, put it on and then looked to the helmet. I set it on the ground; "I'm ready," My voice was quiet, even to my ears.
"No helmet?" One of his eyebrows rose.
"No need. We are heading to just outside the city…" I settled down into the seat and he kicked it on. "Christophe-"
"Call me Chris." He spoke automatically as he started to the drive back to the city.
"Chris… What did the professor offer in exchange for your freedom?"
Silence met me for most of the journey until we saw the lights of the city up ahead. We reached the edge of the city's view park and I tapped him on the shoulder, pointing to the west.
He turned the bike towards the west. "How did you guess?" He did not sound too surprised at my question.
"You ask too many of the right questions and too few of the wrong ones. They were fed to you by him. And we have go the rest by foot." I told him. I looked at my watch as it beeped, December twenty-first two thousand twelve… Midnight…
"In exchange, he wanted the location of the entrance and for me to hush you about your theories."
"They aren't theories…" I mumbled as he slowed to a stop. "It is the history passed down to me from my parents whenever we visited the Ruins."
"Where am I going?"
I pulled the sunglasses off my face and handed them to him. "Follow the light." I grabbed my normal glasses from my pocket and put them on, as he took the sunglasses from me.
"What the?!" I turned and saw the look of shock on his face.
"It's getting used to you. Tell it to calm down and show you the light." I smiled; I was glad to know I still had an upper hand in technology.
"I can't believe I have to tell a pair of computerized sunglasses to chill…" I watched as his eyes adjusted to them, "Please calm down… I just need the light."
I turned back to the path, knowing the journey by heart. We left the bike there as we walked across the manicured park landscape towards a small forest of trees. We weaved our way through the pines until I found an old gnarled poplar. I turned towards the south, went forward six paces, and stopped. "Here."
"The light continues passed that." He told me, reading what the computer was telling him.
"That one caved in years ago. There were a group of entrances here, but this one is the only one left." I sat down on the ground and crawled through a small cave at the trees' roots. "Follow me." I crawled further into the cave, I heard him follow me. I reached an area that opened up to a space large enough to stand and walk in.
I helped Chris out the last few feet of the opening and he stood up with me. "This is…" His voice echoed through the cavern.
I put my finger to my lips and walked a few feet to the far wall. Carvings in the wall told me what I was taught by my mother and father. I sang small song softly, my voice echoing and creating a resonance with the door. The door lit up and the wall slid back into its porthole. I grabbed Chris's hand, led him through the door, and sang the same song, but backwards. The door closed behind us, shutting us into the darkness. "Tell the computer to activate flashlight." I let go of his hand, before I got too used to holding it and not wanting to let go.
The sunglasses heard my command and sang to life, the bright light illuminating the narrow walkway. "Thank you computer."
I heard Chris scoff, "Did it just purr?"
I shook my head, "Nope." I lied to him as we walked forward. After about a mile of walking down a gentle slope, the tunnel began to curve to the side. I saw light up ahead and turned to Chris, "We won't be needing the light anymore. And do you have your sunglasses?"
"Yes. Why?"
"I want mine back." I smiled as I took off my normal glasses into my pocket and put on the sunglasses. The sunglasses' screen lit up with a welcome message for me. "Are they on?"
"No, it's dark as shit in here, why would I want to make it worse."
"Suit yourself, but remember, I'm warning you that you might wanna put them on."
I heard him grumble, "Ready."
We walked forward to the curve in the tunnel, when I felt something wrong. "Something is not right…" I ran forward to the other side of the curve, but nothing looked out of place.
He caught up to me easily, but I could hear him trying to catch his breath. When he looked up, he gasped at the sight of an artificial sun rising in the east, the dawn in the Ruins. "This is beautiful." We were both standing on a hill that overlooked the Ruins
I turned to Chris, "Something isn't right here, we need to get to where the other set of Ruins are." I glided down the slope of the hill above the Ruins to reach the edge of the city.
Chris followed me as I ran into the city, keeping up with my pace. "Stop!" He yelled at me, and I stopped for him. "They checked the other set of Ruins for the others. They didn't find them."
"Then they didn't look hard enough!" I faced him, "I know McCall is behind this and he has no idea about the dangers of the night in the Ruins! If we don't get over there before the dawn in the surface, they will be dead!"
"What dangers?" He asked calmly.
I shook my head, "To speak of Them is to call Them. The others know that it's dangerous to be down here at night, but they only think it is because of they wouldn't be able to see. We tried to set up lights on the other side, where the artificial sun's light doesn't reach, but They tore them down when we weren't looking. They allow me because of my mother, but They do not tolerate outsiders." I looked at the input of one of my security robots that roamed the other set of Ruins for me. "I found the others! We have to hurry!"
He nodded and we both ran across the Ruins towards the wall where the sun was still rising. Despite how huge the Ruins were, it only took us thirty minutes of a hard run to reach the wall. Chris and I were breathing heavily when we reached it.
I felt a brush of cobwebs on my arm and I bolted up. "We need to keep moving." I told him, though my lungs were on fire. We walked away from the cobwebby feeling towards the rising sun. I felt for the hole in the wall that would activate the door. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck rising and knew the cobwebs were following us. I found the hole and pushed my hand into it, causing a section of wall to swing towards the other set of Ruins.
"Go!" I pushed him through, as the cobwebs caught up to me. I tore myself away from the webby feeling and jumped through. The door slammed shut and we were back into the known Ruins. I rubbed my head and realized that I had landed on Chris. I scrambled off him and apologized quickly. Thankfully, the darkness helped hide the heat that rose to my face.
"You said you knew where they were?" I helped him off the ground and turned away from him.
"Yes, follow me. Activate flashlight." The sunglasses responded and the bright light led our way through the known Ruins. I mumbled to the computer in the sunglasses, "All bots assemble to sector 7-Q, building 12." I heard a bot near us light up and start to move. "If we get separated, follow that bot to the others. They have been given the command to go to where the others are."
"We better not get separated…" He mumbled.
I looked at the map on my screen and spoke, "We are in currently in sector 7-R near building 45. It's about a hundred yards to where McCall has them." The screen flashed red as the computer route me to Bot 13, the first bot who was on the scene. I caught a glimpse of the professor standing above the others, with McCall and twenty other men. I pulled my backpack off and rummaged through it. I grabbed another pair of sunglasses and handed them to him, "Put these on. You need to see what we are dealing with."
He put them on and I waited until the glasses became used to him. We stood there, both watching Bot 13's view to watch what was going on. Chris spoke, "They have everyone else… But why?"
"I don't know. Do you recognize the other men?" I asked, hoping he would say no.
"Of course I recognize them…" He growled lowly, "Those were the scumbags who framed us."
"Why is the professor working with them?"
"He knew…" Chris realized. "He set it up, the whole thing… He set up for us to meet at the bar, because I remember myself and the others getting a phone call to meet someone at that bar that night. The guy never showed, but we all met instead. He set up the crimes and how we were to get caught."
"But why you all and why his own team?"
"That I don't know…"
I watched as the professor pointed to the bot and said something I could not hear. "Bot 13, get out of there!" The bot tried to respond, but its wheels were caught in something. McCall picked it up and smiled maliciously into the camera. He pointed the camera into the pit that held the others. I recognized that pit instantly from the research I had done on the Aspharrium and from a long hated memory. "He thinks that is a slave holding pen…"
"What is it?"
I gulped, "That's a sacrifice pit… See the runes around the sides? Blood causes those to activate and send the one standing on the dais to be sent somewhere else. But there had to be something about the blood that made it work… There were only four sacrifices in the time that the Ruins were created until now."
"Where do they go?"
"I have no idea… The person never came back."
"How do you know this?"
"Mum and dad were two of those who vanished. They disappeared right before my eyes."
"Who's blood did they use and why did they go?"
"They were forced by someone who knew somebody…" I tried to grab the memory, but it kept slipping through my fingers. "The blood was mine." I showed his my wrists that had been cut open to fulfill the sacrifice, but not to kill me. The bot's camera was then turned back to McCall and I knew the truth. "McCall knows what it is! He is going to sacrifice them all to send him to wherever the people go!"
Bot 13 was thrown into the pit, destroying the camera lens. "C'mon!"
We ran towards sector 7-Q, my mind racing to come up with a plan. We could not overpower them and I did not have anything that could protect the others…. Wait! I do! I stopped and grabbed something from my bag, "Chris, hang on!" He stopped but it was reluctantly. I grabbed out a bottle of lamb's blood, and a pair of knives that my parents had always taught me to carry with me into the Ruins. I pulled out the stopper and pressed my thumb to the opening. I flipped the bottle over to get some of the blood on my thumb, without wasting any. "Chris, over here now!" I yelled to him, as I started to feel the cobwebs. He did as I asked and I placed a cross in lamb's blood on his forehead. I then flipped it on my thumb again and put the mark on the back of my neck, under my hair.
"What is this stuff?" He reached to wipe it away.
I stopped him by grabbing his wrist, "It's lamb's blood. It's the only thing that will keep you safe. Don't remove it." I dropped his wrist and put the stopped back in. "I have a plan, but it's going to take using me as bait. I need you to make sure that everyone in that pit gets blood on them. It will make it so they cannot be sacrificed and it will protect them from the dangers."
He nodded and took the bottle. He leaned in close to me, "Please be careful." He gave me a quick kiss, before he gave me back the sunglasses. "I'll take care of the others… Just promise me that you will not do anything too stupid."
I smiled, "I promise." I tucked the extra pair of sunglasses into my pocket and pulled off my backpack, "I won't be needing it and if you can, get everyone out of that pit." I handed him one of the knives, "That should be sharp enough to slice through their bindings." I pointed to the left, "If you go that way, you should come up behind the pit. Stay low and find the hole near the pit that will activate a side door. Take that route when I have all eyes one me."
He nodded and gave me another quick kiss. "Good luck, brat." He smiled as I blushed a deep red. He went off to the left, as I went off to the right.
I easily climbed up a wall of an older building to above where they were. I took a deep breath in and shouted, "Hey!"
The professor and McCall whipped around, standing on a dais above everyone else, along with their twenty thugs. The professor shouted back, "Get down from there! You will break something!" I saw McCall say something to the professor, whose eyes widened. He turned back to me, "Her?! You need her?!"
I heard a tiny bit of what McCall was telling the professor. "She… last full blooded Aspharrium… Only her blood will do…"
I knew what he said, but I could not believe it. I could not be Aspharrium… Could I be…? They were not going to sacrifice the others… The others were bait for me… I threw caution into the wind as one of the thugs started to get bored and look away, "I know what you did, professor!" That snapped the thug's attention back to me as I watched Chris activate the door and slide into the pit.
He laughed at me, "And what do you think I did, you little brat?"
I felt the cobwebs caress the back of my neck, "You set them up! You destroyed the lives of Chris, James, Alex and Marcus, as well as enslaved the minds of the rest of the team! What are you after?"
He laughed at me again, "You stupid girl! Did you ever think I cared for the Ruins? No, I want the power to control the world and I know how to get it! McCall told me of the legends of the Dreamscape. He told me all about the pit and how to activate it. He also told me about the Gods that will give me the power over time!"
I saw Chris finish putting the blood on the others and started to help them free of their bindings. The cobwebs behind me began to reach forward and I felt it hit me with a good amount of force. I fell from the building and landed on the dais between McCall and the professor. I heard screams from behind me as the twenty men were ripped to shreds around the dais.
I caught a glimpse of Them as They descended upon those climbing through the door and out of the pit. They had two long horns curling from the top of Their foreheads, muscular gray bodies, strong muscular arms that ended in claws, fur from the waist down, hooves for feet and a vicious set of teeth. They felt the blood and nodded at the omen of protection, before starting to devour the twenty thugs. "What are they?" The professor sounded horrified.
McCall grinned, "These are the Guardians. Lamb's blood or the dais will protect us." He looked down to me, "Why did They avoid you?"
I smiled, bluffing, "Because They are mine. They belong to me." I felt satisfied that the twenty men were nothing more than blood splatters on the ground.
The professor turned to see the pit empty, "Where are the hostages?!"
I stood up, "Your game is over."
McCall picked me up and threw me into the pit. "No, my dear, this is just the beginning." He jumped down into the pit and held grabbed my hair. He pulled my head back and slashed my throat. Blood splattered on the walls of the pit, as he climbed out.
I watched through growing darkness the runes activate and glow the color of my blood. I felt something help me up as the professor and McCall stood on the dais. I looked to see it was a Guardian holding me up. I heard the soft whispers of this Guardian, You… I know you… You have the power to stop this… To stop this forever… I felt my hand touch the dais and the world fell away.

Learn all about the Fabric Mod Podge formula! Find out what it is, how to use it, and see some unique projects you can make.
Are you ready to decoupage fabric or paper to fabric and have it be permanent? And be able to wash it?! You've come to the right place – or formula, I should say.
Meet Fabric Mod Podge! If you've never used this decoupage formula before, it's pretty cool. And let's start by making it clear exactly what this specific Mod Podge is for:
Applying fabric or paper to fabric.
Yep, that's it! Well, not "it," but it's that simple. Your regular Mod Podges are made for applying items to wood, metal, glass, etc., but this formula is used when fabric is the base.
If the process is followed appropriately, you'll be able to wash (or hand wash as the case may be) your decoupaged items. When fabric is applied to fabric, I feel comfortable washing my items in the gentle cycle. When paper or napkins are applied to fabric, I like to hand wash.
My favorite use for Mod Podge Fabric is applying fabric appliqués to other fabric items. For example, applying fabric cutouts to pillows, shirts, etc. However I also enjoy using this formula to prepare fabric for application to furniture.
It's a very durable formula, so sometimes I'll use it to coat a piece of fabric before cutting it out for some other decoupage use. It's a nice fray preventative.
Applying Fabric to Fabric
Here's my process for applying fabric to fabric:
- Pre-wash the fabric to remove sizing.
- Cut the design out of your fabric.
- Apply Fabric Mod Podge to the back of the fabric design.
- Place the fabric face-up on the base fabric where desired, and press firmly but gently to the surface with your fingertips.
- Apply a second coat of Fabric Mod Podge with a brush.
- Cure for 72 hours.
- Wash in cold water by hand or gentle cycle. Dry flat or line dry.
Applying Napkins to Fabric
Here's my process for applying napkins to fabric:
- Pre-wash the fabric to remove sizing.
- Cut the design out of the napkin and discard the layers. Place napkin upside down on a piece of parchment or wax paper.
- Apply Fabric Mod Podge to the back of the design.
- Place the napkin and wax paper face-up on the fabric where desired, and press firmly but gently to the surface with your fingertips. Remove the paper carefully and press the design firmly again.
- Apply a second coat of Fabric Mod Podge with a brush, working into the napkin with a gentle, swirling motion. Clean the brush often when the ink of the napkin bleeds.
- Cure for 72 hours.
- Wash in cold water by hand. Dry flat or line dry.
Questions About Fabric Mod Podge
1. What is the finish of this formula? It is Glossy. You can see the swatch below (it's on paper, but illustrates the look).
2. How do I prepare my fabric for using Fabric Mod Podge on it? You must pre-wash, dry and iron the fabric. DO NOT use fabric softener. If using a t-shirt or a thin fabric, place a piece of wax paper inside directly under where you will be decoupaging your design.
3. How do I wash my project that's decorated with Fabric Mod Podge? The project is machine washable in cold water on the gentle cycle or by hand after 72 hours, and line dry. However, this formula will hold up best on decorative items that don't have to be washed often.
4. I washed my fabric project in the washer and when it took it out it looked cloudy, what happened? When washing your fabric to fabric decoupage project in the washer, your decoupage layer will absorb a little water and create a milky look. Your project will be a little tender at this point, so be careful when handling. But do not be alarmed – it will fully dry to its original state.
5. Can I use this formula in place of sewing? No, not for an entire garment. For an embellishment, yes. But I don't want you to Mod Podge a shirt together and send me an email when you end up topless in public. Please don't do that.
6. This formula is very thick. Can I thin it? Yes, it's very thick on purpose. Stir it as best you can and use a soft bristled brush to apply. Thinning it will reduce the properties, so I don't recommend it.
7. I already have (Gloss/Matte/some other) Mod Podge. Do I really need this formula? Absolutely. This is made to be washed, unlike the other formulas. The other formulas aren't going to last like this one will.
Now that you've read my FAQ, check out a fun video I made a long time ago that will show you how to use this product. Just press "PLAY" in the center of the video below:
Are you ready to start using Fabric Mod Podge? Try one of these projects!
Leave me your questions in the comments – I'll answer them as best I can.

After 10 days of no Internet service, no international phone calls in or out, no text messaging, a 19-hour train ride, an eight-hour transfer and delayed flight, and eventual arrival into Xi'an, I finally can connect to the world again. Xinjiang province was amazing and felt like an entirely different country–much more Central Asian with Middle Eastern accents as opposed to the typical Chinese Eastern Asian feel experienced thus far. Maggie and I both loved it, but are thrilled to have communication access again.
My current online situation though is still touch and go, so no detailed updates on our travels for a few more days. Suffice it to say that the highlights included the Sunday livestock market in Kashgar, the drive along the Karakoram Highway toward the Pakistani border, an overnight and cooking class in the Tajik town of Tashkurgen, an overnight in a yurt at Karakal Lake with a lovely Kyrgys family, the terrific Xinjiang Autonomous Region Museum in Urumqi (no syringe incidents or protests witnessed during our stay in the city at all, by the way), and the ancient city ruins of Jiaohe outside Turpan.
Off to see the Terracotta Warriors this afternoon, then back to Beijing on Friday, home on Sunday.

Reversing previous policy, the Department of Defense will exhume the unidentified remains of sailors and Marines from the battleship USS Oklahoma who were killed during the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. The remains are buried en masse at the National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific in Honolulu; 429 sailors and Marines aboard the Oklahoma were killed, and the remains of only 35 individuals could be identified at the time. The DOD's memo on the subject says that "most" of the remaining 388 crew members will likely be identified using medical and dental records and DNA from family members.
From the memo by Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work:
In addition to my decision to disinter the unknowns associated with Oklahoma, I am establishing a broader DoD disinterment policy that applies to all unidentified human remains from the NMCP and other permanent U.S. military cemeteries from which we conduct disinterment to effect identifications. Effective immediately, the following thresholds must be met in order for the Department to proceed with disinterment. For cases of commingled remains, research must indicate that at least 60 percent of the Service members associated with the group can be individually identified. For individual unknowns, there must be at least 50 percent likelihood to make an identification before disinterring the remains.
The USS Oklahoma was launched in 1914; it capsized and sank just minutes after the attack on Pearl Harbor began.
The ship was salvaged and after it had been stripped of its superstructure, tugboats set out to haul what remained to San Francisco. But on May 17, 1947, the Oklahoma came loose from its towing cables and sank in the Pacific. "Most theories are that the patchwork on the torpedo holes from nearly six years earlier gave way," wrote the Oklahoman in 1991. "Another, held by many of the men who served on the Oklahoma during its naval career, was that the ship simply preferred to die at sea."

Sears Holdings Corp.'s board yesterday named Alan Carr as an independent director. Carr is managing member and CEO of Drivetrain, a distressed and restructuring advisory firm.
Carr is set to hold the position until the issuer's 2019 annual shareholder meeting or until a successor is elected and qualified, according to a company filing.
Soon-to-mature bonds of Sears were thinly traded on news of Carr's appointment, with the issuer's roughly $134 million of 6.75% second-lien notes due Oct. 15 changing hands on either side of 87.5, roughly in-line with levels week-over-week.
In addition to the above-mentioned notes, Sears has $668 million of other debt maturing in the next twelve months, according to regulatory filings.
The move comes two weeks after Sears CEO Eddie Lampert's hedge fund ESL Investments outlined a multi-pronged proposal for the distressed retailer to avoid bankruptcy, according to an amended filing with the SEC. Lambert's Sept. 23 plan calls for the restructuring of around $1.1 billion of the company's debt via a distressed exchange that would reduce its $5.6 billion debt burden to approximately $1.24 billion, assuming all sale proceeds are used to pay down debt, according to the filing.
Lambert's proposal also urges the company to sell $1.5 billion of real estate as well as divest some $1.75 billion of assets, including Sears Home Services and the Kenmore appliance brand, the proceeds of which would be used to pay down debt.
As reported, Lampert earlier this year urged the ailing retailer to sell its prize assets, writing in a letter that ESL is willing to acquire the Sears Home Services division and PartsDirect business. ESL has also offered $400 million to acquire the Kenmore brand.
In terms of the previously mentioned distressed exchange, ESL has proposed that eligible holders of the ESL second-lien PIK loan due 2020 and 2019 would be offered the option to exchange their holdings for mandatorily convertible secured debt or else extend maturities with a reduced conversion price. Unsecured holders are offered the choice to swap into mandatorily convertible unsecured debt or a cash option. The aforementioned 6.75% second-lien notes due October 2018 are excluded from the proposal.
Hoffman Estates, Ill.–based Sears Holdings operates in two segments, Kmart and Sears Domestic. Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp. operates as a subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co., which itself is a subsidiary of Sears Holdings. Ratings are CCC–/Ca on Sears Holdings and CCC–/C on Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp. — James Passeri/Rachelle Kakouris

SHISD Mid-Week Message
Weekly Superintendent's Message for Spring Hill ISD
Mr. Spring Hill
Celebrating Billy Miller's Retirement after 20 (60) Years at Spring Hill
This Friday marks the end of an era, Billy Miller is retiring from Spring Hill ISD after 20 years as our Maintenance Director. Previously he was a 13-year Panther and in between his student and employee years, he was an involved parent with his children in Spring Hill ISD.
It is impossible to look around the four campuses and grounds of Spring Hill and not see an area that Mr. Miller has not put his work or influence into. He has spent countless hours handling Spring Hill business at all hours of the day and on the weekend.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, sort of a work eulogy :)
Billy was born on September 21, 1957 to Pete and Robbye Miller and was the 5th child born of 6 children, all of which were 13 year Panthers. He began his education at SHISD as a kindergarten student in 1963 with Mrs. Willie B Poston as his teacher. Billy's junior high years included him participating in athletics, where he was the team's quarterback, and band. When asked if he was the leader of a winning team, his response was "Well yes!!! Well...we won some." Billy continued his leadership during his high school years where he participated in band, basketball, football (was Honorable Mention his sophomore and junior year, All District , Most Valuable Defensive Player, and was awarded the Panther Award and Team Captain all in his senior year), track all 4 years, (regional qualifier his sophomore year), Most Athletic, Class president 3 years, FCA treasurer and last but not least, Billy was named Mr. Spring Hill his senior year.
One of Billy's fondest memories of his high school career was in 1973, his sophomore year, when he was a starting linebacker and slot back on the first Spring Hill team to beat White Oak. He was also the district champ in the 1/2 mile that same year, beating White Oak's 3 best runners! What made it extra special is that his dad would tell his White Oak co-workers that he had to raise a son to beat them!!
Upon graduation, Billy took a job at Stewart Construction working with Petro Chemical Construction. He worked there 3 years before being promoted to superintendent. He worked as the superintendent for another 18 years before coming to SHISD as the Maintenance Director.
Spring Hill ISD hired Billy on January 20, 1998. He has seen numerous changes in the district and has been a valuable asset as the district continued to progress. He has managed numerous building projects, remodel projects, maintenance projects, and custodial projects. Let's not forget the late night SONITROL calls. He has assisted in carnivals, elections, sporting events, meetings, community events, and anything else where assistance was needed. Overall, Billy said he is most proud of almost doubling the size and square footage of school buildings to the tune of approximately 50 million dollars, of course that came with great leadership, tax payer support and a great staff. "Spring Hill has really grown in 20 years and I have been fortunate to have been part of that" said Billy.
Billy met the love of his life at Spring Hill when he was in 5th grade, Miss Patti Perkins. They started dating their sophomore year and have been married 40 years this weekend! They have 2 daughters, Shelly Patty and Stacy Allee, both were 13 year Panthers and just like their dad, were very involved in SHISD. Shelly was a cheerleader and Stacy was the Panther mascot and was a member of the yearbook staff. Shelly is married to Jeff Patty and they have 2 children, Trinity and Ryan. Stacy is married to Brandon Allee and they have 2 children, Miller and Nate. Billy loves fishing, hunting and just hanging out with his kids and grandkids.
Billy and his family are members of Spring Hill First Baptist Church and are very active in the leadership of the church. Billy currently serves as a Deacon and is also on the Board of Trustees.
As you can see, Billy has been in a leadership position as a student, employee, husband, father, grandfather, and church member. Spring Hill ISD has been blessed by Billy's great leadership skills as he carried on the school's business with integrity and character for the past 20 years.
Good luck to you as you retire. May you enjoy what you love to do!
Billy's last day will be Friday. You will be missed my friend ~ Steve Snell

Southern Banks Charge AheadBy Jim Overton
Vol. 6, No. 6, 1984, pp. 18-20
A financial services revolution is underway and Southern banks are doing their damndest to make sure they get as large a slice of the pie as possible. In the process they are likely to wreak havoc on the access to banking services that people at the lower end of the income scale now have.
Several factors have combined to cause major shifts in banking. First (and for a number of reasons), banking revenues have dropped mightily in the last few years. Second, the partial deregulation of the financial services "industry" has created a new set of competitors for banks--even some K Marts have begun offering money market accounts to their customers. Third, the number of young professionals now cropping up all over the South has produced a demand for flexible financial services which can cater to the mobile and affluent.
Fourth, powerful regional sized industries are demanding broad ranging financial services that many banks can't easily provide. And, the country's megabanks--particularly expansion-hungry Citicorp--have announced their intention to become nationwide banking centers and, in doing so, to put the small fry of Southern banks, out of business.
Southern bankers, traditionally among the stodgiest corporate executives to be found anywhere, have leapt forward into their own revolution. The keystone of their strategy is the push for new legislation that will permit them to grow into regional banks that serve the entire Southeast rather than just one state or sub-state area.
Traditionally, both state and federal governments have carefully restricted banks' service areas, largely because of fears of how powerful a national bank might become. Southern banks have established loan-making subsidiaries in neighboring states, but they have not been allowed to open full-service operations in other states. (With a few exceptions. For instance, North Carolina's NCNB cleverly exploited a loophole to buy up a fleet of Florida banks). In fact, most states don't even allow their banks to open branches all across the state, restricting them instead to a much narrower geographic region.
Recently, Southern bankers have started demanding the right to expand regionally--and found politicians quite receptive to that demand for interstate expansion. Proclaiming the need for a "Southern Common Market," the Southern Governor's Conference has pushed legislators to enable banks from other Southern states to open up shop within their borders. The message is taking effect: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky have already passed such legislation, and others are considering it.
A look at North Carolina's recently passed legislation indicates that in conjunction with other states' legislation, it will virtually recreate the Confederacy economically: Effective Jan. 1, 1985, it will allow banks in all the old,` Confederate states, except Texas and add the District o' Columbia, to provide full-service banking in North Carolina--as soon as those states allow North Carolina banks to invade their boundaries.
Naturally, the large Tar Heel banks--NCNB, Wachovia and First Union--were very eager to get this bill passed. Forecasters predict that regional banks will grow much more quickly than Citicorp-style megabanks over the next few years. And since North Carolina allows statewide banking, the NC Big Three felt confident that they would move to the top of the heap in the regional banking wars. First Union is so eager to get started that it has established a corporate goal of quadrupling its assets over the next four years.
But the bankers didn't take passage for granted. The NC Bankers Association held eleven regional forums with legislators in March, contributed heavily in the primary campaigns and quieted dissenting voices among the smaller banks, who were less sure how much they wanted competition from outside banks.
The bankers issued a consistent message: We need to keep step with the competition. As NCNB chair Hugh McColl told his stockholders, "The state cannot afford to have its banks lose relative strength to companies in other states."
With all this muscle behind it--including support from Governor Jim Hunt--the bill to permit regional interstate banking flew through the General Assembly. With Legal Services lobbyists out of the way thanks to new Reagan guidelines, there was no one to speak up against the bill. Aside from some sincere reservations by rural legislators, there were few roadblocks. In fact, the only real hurdle was the threat that the Democratic-controlled leadership would block the bill in retaliation for Hugh McColl's public endorsement of Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Martin several days before the bill hit the floor of the house and senate. After a few trying days, the threat fizzled, and the bill became law.
As with the legislation in other states, everyone involved seemed to forget that it might be important to assess the impact of interstate banking on one important set of actors in the financial services industry: the consumers. So it seems fitting to play a game of (almost) twenty questions on interstate banking and what it might mean for the average Southerner.
First, a few appropriate background items:
What's happening to retail consumers in the banking revolution? The woeful economy of the last few years has prompted banks to seek increased revenues from retail customers. (In the past, almost all their income came from loan revenues.) Accordingly, service charges on checking and the like have skyrocketed.
In a study of the average service charges of North Carolina banks, Professor Nick Didow of the School of Business at UNC-Chapel Hill found that average bank service fees have risen thirty percent in each of the last two years. However, customers who keep minimum balances
Page 19don't have to pay these fees, throwing the burden on those least able to afford it. Concludes Didow: "When it comes to banking in this state, the poor pay more and there is no way to dispute that."
What does this mean for the low-income consumer? One bank's marketing study obtained by a US House member contains a chilling conclusion: Some banks are ready to lop as much as fifty percent of the populace from their service market. Tim O'Rourke, marketing director for North Carolina's Central Bank, told the Durham Morning Herald: "As banks become deregulated, they will act more and more like non-regulated industries. If you can't be everything for everyone, you want to choose your market." Already some ten percent of the population doesn't even use any bank services, and, says Didow, "We're likely to see more households that can't aford a bank."
An example of the difference in banks' new focus is found in Wachovia's new banking card. Hooked into the national Relay and Cirrus networks, the card allows customers to withdraw money from several thousand places across the country. Such a service is highly useful to customers who travel frequently, but basically useless to a good percentage of Wachovia's customers--who will still end up paying higher charges for the privilege of having such a card for their local needs.
Are bigger banks more expensive for the average consumer? Didow's research points to one strong conclusion: "The bigger the bank, the higher the fee structure." Fees for an average consumer range from $72 to $263 at North Carolina banks; most of the higher figures occur at the larger banks.
Given these trends, there are some fairly weighty questions yet to be answered about the impact of regional banking:
What information do we have on the impact of interstate banking on consumers? A North Carolina legislative study commission pondered the issue and produced the following conclusion: If the banks support regional banking, we'll introduce it. (Can you imagine any legislature supporting food-tax repeal or lower utility rates just because a group of consumers wanted them passed?) Banks across the South have produced reams of data to explain why they need such legislation, but there is precious little information available about how interstate banking will affect the affordability or availability of financial services to the average consumer.
What will be the effect on consumers? Since there's no research, there's no conclusion--but there is reason to worry. Preliminary studies by the Federal Reserve indicate that transactions cost more per unit at bigger banks than at smaller ones. If this is true, then regional banking--which would spawn much larger banks--could result in higher costs for the basic consumer services banks provide.
Obviously, there are many consumers who need services like banking cards that can get them cash across the country. But most do not. Will banking services remain affordable and accessible to that large group of customers who do not need the frills banks are devoting more of their attention to?
What will regional banking do to the loan side of the banking business? Once again, there's no hard evidence, but as Martin Mayer concludes in his new book, The Money Bazaars, "The basic business of the banks continues to be lending to businesses. And for the big banks, inescapably, the business has been one of lending to big businesses." Several studies have shown that small banks remain the major capital suppliers for small businesses.
It's not clear whether bigger regional banks will continue to supply small business needs if they gobble up lots of smaller institutions. Former NC senatorial candidate turned Washington banker Luther Hodges Jr. commented recently in American Banker: "Let me reiterate that interstate banking is not bigness for the sake of bigness; it is increased size for the capacity to serve the rapidly growing needs of regional industry (my emphasis)." That's fine, Mr. Hodges, but what about the needs of small businesses?
In fact, numerous studies show how vital local small-business development remains to many Southern communities--despite the difficulty such businesses experience in locating capital. The Center of Community Self-Help in Durham has assisted a number of worker-owned businesses in getting started across the state. These businesses are providing vitally needed jobs for hard-pressed communities. Frustrated by their inability to get banks to invest in these enterprises, the Center spearheaded the formation of a Self-Help Credit Union, which provides vitally needed capital for these emerging businesses.
Unfortunately, it seems highly likely that interstate banking will only worsen the plight of small businesses; regional banks might serve the needs of regional industry, but will those banks be there to provide the funds communities need to keep developing? The prospects don't seem optimistic.
If we don't allow interstate banking now, what should we do instead? A word dear to the hearts to most bankers seems in order: caution. Professor Didow comments, "I don't know all the answers, but I'd like to know the implications of regional banking for the retail side of banking for all the involved parties." If larger banks do charge more for services, he notes, "I do not believe it is in the public's interest to allow banks to expand." It does seem that for something as crucial to people's lives as financial services,
Page 20the least we could do is study these issues soberly, especially states' ability to regulate effectively.
Unfortunately, the legislation is already in place in all too many states, and the banks are lining up to gobble up their small competitors. However, even the most aggressive banks have to wait for the legislation to take effect--and for each state's regulatory apparatus to approve the merger. T here might still be some methods by which concerned consumer groups could call for more study for the impacts of regional banking, put some brakes on the rush to merger, and get their legislators to reconsider the already passed legislation.
For a host of different reasons--the desire for a stable economy, the fears of another depression--we have allowed banks an economic security that most other enterprises don't enjoy--especially the provision of federally insured deposits. In return, we've asked for little. The record of corporate responsibility rolled up by many Southern banks with regard to investing in the black community and providing services to low-income people is pretty abysmal. To adopt a favorite banker's expression, it seems only prudent that we should slow down the interstate merger process and ask for some return guarantees before we allow the South's banks to charge us with an uncertain future.

Bayou City Theatrics
Bayou City Theatrics NEXT OPENING OCTOBER 24th –Rocky Horror!!!!
Some Clues You Ignore
October 9, 2014 — I get to the theater and it's in the historic Rice Hotel building or right next to it. Nice marquis over the front entrance. Nice wooden floor in the lobby. Nice bar. Nice, nice people. I get into the theater and there's a black wooden wedge of a riser for seating almost filling a high, high ceilinged room with beautiful roof details and state of the art acoustic dampening design. The bathrooms are the amazingly fancy remnants of some long gone restaurant. The lighting instruments are mostly par cans which don't focus or shape the light. The seats are plastic folding chairs. The stage setting is rags hanging. To me, these are clues that this theater isn't funded by a giant endowment.
The music starts and I think I hear a brass instrument blowing on the second floor but it is overridden by piped-in music. I take it to be a live recording of the music. It sounds less canned than a studio karaoke package. Danica Dawn Johnston makes a good first impression as Velma. She's strong: strong body, strong dancing, strong faces. Roxie does her opening. I find myself wondering about the attitude she portrays. Wouldn't it be funnier to play innocent without signaling 'evil intent' in the facial expressions just before singing 'had it coming' For the rest of the first act I keep asking myself if I'm some kind of lookist. Do I just not like the face of the Derrien Kellum as Roxie? Would Roxie allow anyone, ever to see her as nasty or unlikable? Why is she doing puff tough, you know, like a bird making itself bigger, — no that would have been cool– more like, a cat tensing up to arch its back, but you see in its eyes that the dog is way too big—no that would have been cool too – uh—Why do hip-hop tough in jazzy Chicago?. For the whole first act, Roxie scowls. Who would pay to see that? Who would take pictures of that? Who would make Roxie famous for that? Is Dannica just a great singer and good dancer? I find myself concerned about the strength of Dannica's acting in her first speaking and interacting scene, but the announcement said it was professional theater. I'm misreading the clues that this is community theater. I'm concerned that I'm not sexually embarrassed by the garter-leo costumes they're all wearing. So much of the first act is guys and gals getting undressed and dressed while they're acting and I'm not uncomfortable, not wiggling around in my front row seat. What is the play Chicago if not 'hot', 'sexy', 'confrontational moral turpitude ', 'wrong', 'guilty voyeuristic pleasure'? What's the bone right in front of the pelvis? No one seems to be leading themselves around by that pelvic mound. It's a bit like Fosse without attention to detail. Because of the unfocused lighting, the actors really needed to 'find the light' for their 'moments' and if they didn't, their expressions got lost in the shadows. I think there are clues in the script that the players do engage the audience. This cast was holding that fourth wall up so hard that it seemed they thought they might drop a line or skip a step if they made eye contact with the audience. When you go to see the show, ( which is almost sold out, so get tickets ASAP), try to sit between the 3rd and 7th rows or right on the front row. There's a stage mike somewhere, I think and the Public Address PA is mostly aimed at those rows. The sound of the actors is, of course, much better when you don't hear the amplified part, but sometimes that acoustic sound got lost during the first act. The acting and singing in the first act was often tentative and reserved. The players didn't seem to be making 'big choices'. At this moment, writing this, some hours after the show, the most memorable thing in Act One was the 'shit' take Velma did when Roxie announced she was pregnant. The timing, intensity, everything about it was great. She even found the light. So, maybe all those clues told me that this theater is straining to 'pull it off', to put on the show, to get the lights on at intermission. That's what I liked about it.
Some clues you ignore. Some you can't. This is a theater that actually NEEDS its audience. It NEEDS your support. It NEEDS help, volunteers and workers and ticket sales and donations. I go around this town, nowadays. and I see the 100 million dollar foundations, theaters that only need audiences to justify their expenses, house managers ordering volunteer ushers with distain to wash the windows to prove that they submit to the pecking order and getting away with it because there are waiting lists of people who want to help. And here in this Kaleidoscope theater they are building drama like we did when Houston was just a football town. A new hero of mine actually attended the performance tonight. He was a board member of The Chocolate Bayou Theater. That was WAY before Stages held that Actors' Equity audition where/when only ONE equity actor showed up. That was when they LAUGHED at us for trying to present theater in this football land, in this cultural desert that was Houston. The wonderful impresario — I don't remember his name — was a BIG reason why we have a much richer cultural desert today. He made theater work when theater was IMPOSSIBLE in Houston, especially edgy theater. Yeah, sure, Marat Sade would breeze through town and air his gonads, but the fire marshals were there to keep things from getting too far out of hand.
And there we all were, on a Thursday night, every one of us able to claim this Chocolate Bayou man as our precursor, putting on and witnessing desperate, underfunded, fledgling,…..uh…. not quite dangerous ….theater. It was inspiring. During intermission I discovered that there was a live band upstairs playing all the music. I really thought it was a recording. I was completely fooled by the quality of the musical performance. Even the out-of-tune notes made it seem more like a pre-recorded karaoke track, but it was live music. The singing was darn good when you could hear it clearly, which was most of the time. There was a really nice duet with Velma and Heather Hall as Mama in Act Two. The staging made good use of the space. The boy actors were fun. The girl actors were….uh….ballsy – sometimes literally. This show, this cast, did good renditions of all the songs, live and raw and real and they did not do great disservice to the memory of the dance numbers, which only had noticeable imprecision because of how tight they were in general. During the second act, Roxie smiled and glowed at the praise heaped on her because she was pregnant. The scowl was gone!!! Oh, Roxie, Roxie, why did you make me wait to see your face? That scowl distracted me from believing you were real and you do smile so well and even have other faces too! Razzle Dazzle guy could have been a bit more dazzling on that number, but that character and part isn't easy to pull off without copying others and Kyle Ezer seems to have come up with his own take on the role. Brecht did it in a one room apartment. Go see Jane Volke do it in a historic landmark, cut apart as it may be. This was a good show, cut apart as I may have made it seem. I don't just list actors in reviews. I don't see the reason to do that, but the Chocolate Bayou hero guy was there and this theater is new and fresh like theater was then, so please let me praise, Dannica Dawn Johnston, Derrien Kellum, Fong Chau, Brain Chambers, Michelle Mayo, Erica Bundy, Jessica rohe, Ashley Carfine, Misty Chambers, Heather Hall, Kyle Exer, Christian Quiroga, Tori Shoemaker, Luke Hamilton, Jane Volke, Hannah Connant, Ryan Norwood, Tyler Murphy, Toberto De Guzman, Harry Ochsenbein, Logan Shoemaker, Don Newman, Carol Daubert, Shannon Page, Buzz Belmont, Megan Vaughn, Taylor McWhorter, Brandie Frye, and those two wonderful guys who were volunteering in the front for pulling off this difficult show with style and grace.

The easiest and quickest bread I've ever made. And on top of that, it's healthy and delicious. At the first try, my kids were skeptical. I think it was because they were not used to rye flour (which has a strong taste) and also because they ate it when it was still warm. You should wait until the bread cools down completely before eating it. The second time, they loved it. And so do I, needless to say...
rye soda bread
(supernatural every day, p.96, by heidi swanson)
2 1/3 cups rye flour
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (+more for dusting and kneading)
1 3/4 ts baking soda
1 1/4 ts fine-grain sea salt
2 cups buttermilk
1. Preheat the oven to 400F with a rack in the middle of the oven
2. Sift the flours. baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.
3. Make a well in the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Stir just until everything comes together into a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 30 sec or so, just long enough for the dough to come together into a cohesive, slightly flattened ball without many cracks or fissures.
4. Lightly flour a baking sheet and place the ball of dough on the flour. Brush all over the top and sides with buttermilk and sprinkle generously with flour, 2 tbs or so.
5. Slice 4 deep slashes across the top of the dough, 2/3 the way through the loaf, as if you were slicing a pie into 8 edges, just be careful not to slice all the way through.
6. Bake for about 30 min, then quickly (without letting all the hot hair our of the oven), move the rack and the bread up a level, so the top of the bread gets nice and toasted. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until a hard crust forms and the bread is baked through. It will feel very solid and sound hollow when you knock on its base.
table.etc: I bake my bread for 40 minutes (instead of 30 min) and skip the second part.
7. Cool on a wire rack.

AB Wants To Pass Rice
Antonio Brown has got what he wanted after a wild, wild winter, and now he looks like he's calming himself down some. In a subdued interview, 'Mr. Big Chest' stated that he wanted to surpass Jerry Rice as the best wide receiver in NFL history. The 30 year old also talking about holding his teammates accountable, which is rather interesting since he didn't he even bother to show up for his final Steelers game. Things might have been bad, and we may never know the full story about what was going on in Pittsburgh, but it will be more than compelling to see how that works out in Oakland given the facts of what happened with the black and yellow.
The post AB Wants To Pass Rice appeared first on Sports Chew.

I intend to buy the cheapest ticket online which is usually on Delta or United at about 150ish. I have a service dog who will be coming with me and I am pregnant. I will be bringing a military tuff box which for those who dont know what that is a tuff box is basically a plastic trunk mine has wheels on one side and a handle no idea dimensions and weight.I also will be bringing a backpack with my meds labtop phone and dogs emergency supplies. Once I order my ticket I want to call the airport and see if I can be escorted all the way to the plane gate to avoid the constant badgering of people and get assistance as needed.
What flight will allow me to take a tuff box as checked baggage
What is it going to cost me to do so …most google searches turn up as I am going to pay more to transport that tuff box than what I am paying for a plane ticket
I have progesterone shots which I will put in my backpack along with my sharps container I know they have to let me bring them but how does that work exactly
I also am bringing my breast pump should I put it in my backpack or in the tuff box as it is heavy and I dont know if I can bring it on the plane
I also am bringing chilled colustrum which is a body fluid and I will be bringing that in my back pack how will that work should I just state that I have it and all my meds when going thru security which is going to be annoying enough with my service dog plus she is a pitt bull and that already adds more attention than I like
How early should I be there since I am needing all this extra help
Basically can someone walk me thru this trip in detail
All flights btw stop in either ATL or Charlotte and then land in Nashville its a very short flight with about an hour of layover time
I have never flown with my service dog She has never been on a plane but meets TSA guidelines and I recently trained her for the security checks so I think she will be fine but added advice would be nice to hear
I cant think of any more questions just yet but I really need some help going thru this
