The combination of these seems a tad overkill to me. Especially once I read the words "healing factor" and my mind goes to Wolverine. That healing factor means whenever he's on the ground, he essentially has regen on, combined with an immunity to Earth spells, and a high defense. He's essentially a living tank. I'd really prefer this get toned down. Look at the accepted characters list, and bring it to more that level.
Also, a question: How does being a SeeD candidate from a Garden besides Balamb work? Do they get shipped out to Balamb to undergo the trials and stuff?
From the way I understand it SeeD candidates from other Gardens transfer to Balamb once they are able to apply. Balamb Garden is the only Garden that houses SeeDs and SeeD candidates. >.>
I appreciate the input, but remember its a GMs duty to handle the apps. If you have comments, please take them to the OOC page.However, Revenent is right, your character would be a Student not a SeeD. A SeeD Candidate is acceptable, but they're still essentially just students. In addition, I'd like to ask you take a different GF, Bahamut is a rather powerful GF.
Okay, round two. I get the feeling he's still a bit too powerful, but I am open to suggestions. CHARACTER APPLICATIONName: Clive "Pain" BeckettAge: 17Enrollment Age: 5Gender: MaleTheme SongWeapon: Black Dragon martial arts Weapon Description: To hell with weapons! A real man fights with his fist and feet! Black Dragon martial arts is very similar to Shaolin style martial arts. They differ in that the Black Dragon style focuses on lethality, rather than incapacitation. The death of a practitioner during Kumite, a form of training, is uncommon but not unheard of. Specialization: Melee fighting. He is capable of dealing out tremendous amounts of physical damage, while also being able to handle vast quantities of physical abuse with little or no problems. Personality: A two faced man, he is often times reserved, wise and mature beyond his years, and a hardline stoic. This attitude shifts tremendously, however, when he is fighting, as he can become a wild (but not reckless) warrior, that freely shouts threats of death and dismemberment, and who seeks to cow his opponents with his threats. It should be noted that while he does appear to be in a frenzied state, he maintains a strict control over himself under most circumstances. This control only falters after prolonged fighting, or as he starts to suffer serious damage. Backstory: Born to a graduate of Trabia Garden, one of the survivors of the attack thirty years ago, he was admitted to the Garden by the wishes of his father (His mother having died during child birth). However, his time at the Garden was filled with abject misery. Homesickness and uncertainty, coupled with a low self esteem, ensured that for most of his young life, he was the subject of bullying. He did little but endure it, and never spoke of it, for fear of retaliation from the bullies; consequently, the Garden faculty were only rarely able to step in and help him out.As he grew older and matured, he began to shed his original shy and passive nature. Through meditation practices, he was able to find and draw on an inner reservoir of strength, and he learned to trust in himself and his abilities. He was one of the best students in the martial arts program he took. As he had become something of an overachiever in his 'later' years, it is no surprise that he went to try and become a member of SeeD. He was thankful for the transition to Balamb Garden, where he felt like he could truly reinvent himself, and finally cast away the old chains that still bound him; however, that is not always so easy. Broken One has been with him for a very long time, and unfortunately, he does not remember how he came to first meet the Guardian Force. He just knows that she's always been there for him. Appearance:This is his usual style when lounging around in what he considers "street clothes". For obvious reasons, he has both a Balamb and a Trabia Garden uniform. Additionally, he is some times known to wear a mask that appears to be made from the skull of a humanoid creature; it is intended to frighten enemies. GF APPLICATIONName: Broken OneElement: DarkDescription: She actually appears with a gaping hole in her chest, with the heart she holds presumably being her own. Her head often hangs at an extremely lopsided angle, as if it the neck has been snapped. Bonus: High strength and vitality growth, Lifefont, damaged by healing magic, weakened resistance to all magic (excepting an immunity to Dark).Special Attack: Vengeful Malice: Deals moderate physical damage to all enemies, with a chance of inflicting stun/paralysis, and an obscenely low chance of instant knock out.
O .o Why did mine have the dots? I'm happy but damn I thought I did something wrong.
Simply building anticipation I'm sure
I'd like to join if that is all right. My character would be a high defense tank which guards against and takes hits for the rest of the team and reflects damage back to the giver. The GF would be something that boosts elemental immunity, not to the point of god, and health. He has little to no magical capabilities. For example, I'm taking a class from FF13, the Sentinel class. Would that be alright?
As long as you bare in mind that sentinels have VERY limited offense, it's fine by me.
They can be fired, but the don't shoot bullets, they have vibration cells that send shockwaves through the blades, which increases their melee damage.
Well if that is how you plan to do it that is fine. Just thought I'd put that up there since they can be fired like guns.

You are all AMAZING!! AND SOOOO WONDERFUL!!!.
I am so happy to be sharing all these awesome episodes with you.
I've calculated all the points - which have been given to those who gave the answer(s) first, pointed out errors of mine and sometimes gave some additional information. There were soooo many comments that were not reflected in the points. And I'd like to thank and cheer everyone for those just as much. (roxymissrose and milly_gal in particular - Thank you so much for popping in!! ) I felt all the love for SPN, for the Season and ... yes. I felt some kindness and love for little old me as well. Thank you for all of it.
So just to recap - we had some really excellent competition here with people answering as many questions as they could in the various time frames that they were free. As you know I had quizzes all through the day and night because our community is so global I didn't want anyone to miss out because their time frame was different from mine. I never knew for sure who was in the lead because once one group of people broke off for sleep or work or something, another group took over. And the results totally took me by surprise.
Here they are -

Mill Lane, Deptford New Town, Lewisham, c. 1890
Mill Lane was an appalling slum of ramshackle cottages and common lodging houses.
These houses survived the 1880s, when the poorer quality houses in the area were rebuilt.
It was not until 1895 that a joint initiative by the Greenwich Board of Works and the London County Council cleared the area and built Carrington House as a common lodging house and Sylva Cottages.

AGORA: Research infrastructure for social sciences
Proper research requires a good set of data. All data are collected by the researchers directly if possible (e.g. through ad hoc surveys), or are extracted from the numerous registered administrative sources of information from the federal authorities. Similarly to lab material in exact sciences, these data provide a research infrastructure in the field of social sciences. The AGORA programme aims to contribute to the development/enhancement/valorisation of a high-quality research infrastructure in Belgium.

TA: Society and Future
At the start of the new millennium, social and economic realities in Belgium appear increasingly complex. The objectives of the Society and Future programme are to untangle these complex phenomena and provide the scientific knowledge that is necessary to enable the federal state to respond successfully to the challenges it faces. The Society and Future programme has been set up around requirements for knowledge – within the scope of competency of the federal state – for which the social sciences are able to offer responses. It aims to promote research which meets three criteria:
> relevance to decision-making;
> high scientific standard;
> citizen involvement.

Had what was probably the worst interview of my life with Soma Networks. I was interviewed by P.J., an individual who took some pleasure in the fact that he was an IBM Fellow and "almost certainly smarter" than I was. Restrained my anger at his rudeness. If this is the attitude that they generate at Soma, I will *never* apply or consider a job at Soma. Here's something Peter – some good advice – write it down. You can be the smartest prick in the world but if you're going to treat people like shit it'll be an aboslute waste. And it *will* come back to bite you in the ass. The rest of the day went horribly as well. ECE 209 will be brutal.

Uzair Baloch likely to be extradited today
According to sources, the team of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will fly to Dubai to take custody of the key culprit of Lyari gang war Uzair Jan Baloch.
An officer of Sindh Police having complete record of Uzair Baloch will be accompanied with the FIA team, sources said.
DG FIA has expressed hope that chief of banned outfit People's Aman Committee will be extradited to Pakistan as all the legal hiccups in this regard have been sorted out.
Baloch was declared proclaimed offender by a court in Pakistan, while his red warrants were also issued through Interior Ministry of Pakistan, seeking his arrest and extradition to Pakistan. The notorious criminal was nominated in several extortion and murder cases in the country.
On December 29, 2014, Interpol arrested Uzair Baloch when he landed at the Dubai airport from Muscat. Uzair Baloch was reportedly traveling on an Iranian passport at the time of his arrest.

House Committee Issues Report On Monomoy Boundary Legislation
By: Tim Wood
Dissenting View Says Court Should Decide Issue
CHATHAM – The House Committee on Natural Resources has issued its report on legislation setting the boundary of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge at the low tide mark, paving the way for the full House to vote on the bill.
The report, dated Feb. 2, also includes a dissenting view by three members of the committee who say that a final decision on the boundary should be left up to the courts to decide.
An estimate of the cost of the legislation from the Congressional Budget Office is also included in the report. The office concluded that the bill's passage would reduce the refuge by about 3,000 acres and have "minimal effect on the cost of administering the refuge." The full report, in fact, states that passage of the legislation would prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from incurring legal fees from litigation the state of Massachusetts has threatened to bring over the boundary dispute.
The committee voted favorably on the bill in December, sending it on to the full House for a vote. The filing of the report is another step toward a House vote on the bill, said Town Manager Jill Goldsmith. The bill, H.R. 1157, was added to the House calendar last week and is ready for consideration. "We are working with the resources committee to see when the bill can be brought up," Goldsmith said in an email. "It's a matter of securing floor time."
Congressman William Keating filed the bill on the town's behalf to roll back the agency's claim to more than 3,000 acres of undersea area west of the refuge contained in the 2016 comprehensive conservation plan. State and local officials say they have responsibly managed the area for many years and fear that under federal control, access could to be limited to resources within the area, including fin and shellfish.
The report "couldn't be any more positive," said Selectman Jeffrey Dykens. He noted that the committee acknowledged that when the refuge was created in 1944, the western boundary was set at mean low water and omitted the submerged intertidal zones and open ocean between sand bars and tidal flats around the refuge. The report also notes that the Fish and Wildlife Service ignored "sizable" outcry from local residents and the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office in opposition to the boundary change. It also notes 22 groups supported the legislation, including Gov. Charlie Baker, the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, the Chatham and Cape Cod chambers of commerce, New Bedford, Nantucket and nine Cape towns.
A dissenting view was filed by ranking Democrat Raul M. Grijalva of Arizona and Democrats Grace Napolitano and Jaraed Huffman, both of California. It states that the bill "revokes any federal interest" in the submerged land and conveys interest in more than 3,900 acres within the boundaries of the refuge to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The town, they wrote, opposed proposals made in the conservation planning process to limit some commercial fishing and kite surfing from that area, and that the final plan did not limit existing activities within the disputed area.
They criticize the Attorney General's Office involvement in the Fish and Wildlife Service's "valid, legal claim to the open waters and submerged lands" and state the area has been under "valid federal control singe 1944." The bill was filed despite efforts by the agency to work with the town and other concerned stakeholders, they wrote.
Despite claims that the legislation will stop costly court battles, the three committee members said they believe decisions regarding the boundary are best left to the courts.
"We cannot support this bill because it would undermine the federal management of public lands especially when there is no evidence that points to better management under state control," the dissenting report states.
"It's logic is specious," Dykens said of the dissenting view, saying that the town and state never gave up control of the disputed area. The argument put forth by the minority bears similarities to those used by several conservation groups, including Mass Audubon, which opposed the legislation. Selectmen recently sent letters to Senators Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren countering those claims and seeking their support if the bill is brought before the Senate.

frugal living: cold-process soap
So, one of my goals is to live more frugally this year. I am happy to say that I have done well in January. I cleaned out clutter, have not bothered buying anything and focused on doing some of the new things I wanted to learn. This week it was cold-processed soap. Making your own soap is less expensive than buying commercially made soap and you know exactly what is in it. I took a class, which I think is the best way to go because you get advice and learn basic techniques that you can expand on later as you get more into soap-making. I can see how this might become rather addictive. Homemade soap makes wonderful, personal gifts for any occasion.
Something I am becoming more aware of is the chemicals in cosmetics and products we use on our body. Some of these are cancer-causing. I have learned how to make my own cream and lotion and so it makes sense to learn how to make soap. My particular recipe has palm oil, olive oil, shea butter and one batch has goat's milk in it the other does not. I love the fact that I know every ingredient that is in there. In order to make soap, you need to use lye. Lye is what causes saponification to take place. All soap, homemade and commercial, has lye in it. Lye is not hard to work with at all - you just need to respect it. Wear gloves and safety eye wear and work in a well ventilated room. My soap is scented with lavender for the one batch and peppermint/rosemary for the other batch. I also added some calendula flowers to give the soap soothing properties.
Peeps, this was SO much fun!

Gareth Tate is a wilderness medicine instructor and sponsored kayaker from Truckee, California. But he also fills his days serving as a videographer and team manager for Adventure Technology Paddles and Bomber Gear. While Kayaking (whitewater and sea kayaking) clearly ranks as his first love among outdoor sports, he's also an enthusiastic mountain biker and backcountry skier. We caught up with awhile back to get some idea of what he packs when he heads out.
Gear Institute: Hello Gareth. Between work and play (and work-play), you are a busy man. What currently has you jumping?
Gareth Tate: Last week I was able to go on an overnight sea kayak surf trip, paddle class 5 water, mountain bike, and ski four days in a row on fresh pow in the backcountry surrounding lake Tahoe. Later this year I plan ski-mountaineer my way to the summit of several 14,000-foot peaks in the Sierras. I also hope to explore some new (to me at least) backcountry in Utah, Colorado, and British Columbia.
Come spring, I'll be sea kayaking along the Alaska coast and skiing some of those coastal peaks, then I'll head back to the Sierra for some remote river kayaking—the Middle Kings is on my list—followed by a paddle around Vancouver Island this summer.
Gear Institute: That's a lot of travel on your schedule. When you head out on those trips, what gear do you ALWAYS bring with you?
Tate: Because I'm out in remote areas, whether mountains, rivers, or oceans, I always have a SPOT locator device and a quality first aid kit.
I also love breathability of the Polartech's NeoShell fabric and always have at least one of those softshells along.
Gear Institute: So you prefer softshells over hardshell jackets?
Tate: Yes, softshell all the way, because when I am out I am very active and I need a shell that is flexible to allow unrestricted movement and breathability. That makes a huge different in allowing me to thermo-regulate in dynamic environments and activities.
Gear Institute: That makes sense. Okay, what else is always going on trips with you?
Tate: I try to record all my adventures, so I carry a GoPro Hero 4 all the time. I am actually stoked right now on the trend of social media news and online video attention span. At first I thought it was a huge bummer—and as far as health to society it still may be—but as a media producer, I love the fact that it is so cheap and easy to create exciting short videos with cheap GoPros.
Making videos and spreading them around the internet has made the professional athletes job a whole lot easier then it used to be. Gone are the days of 6-month video projects that took way more time inside behind a computer then out playing. Now I can play almost constantly and with a GoPro I can throw together short easy edits in the evenings that get those clips spread out via social media nearly instantly and for free! Who know where it will go but it is cool right now.
Gear Institute: That's great. Of course, as a sponsored athlete you also have access to a ton of gear from those companies. Let's give them a brief shout-out. Tell us what your sponsors offer that you really love.
Tate: I really love my AT Duraweave Paddle (reliability, low weight, great blade and shaft design).
For seea kayaking, I stick with my Dagger Alchemy. It is a super fun boat. It's a playful sea kayak built on whitewater roots—I love it for for short weekend trips or just playing in the surf.
When I hit whitewater, I turn to my Dagger Mamba. It offers great storage with a an excellent hull design and killer outfitting. I load all my gear into Watershed Dry Bags. I think they are the best option on the market for protection of gear.

- We recommend that only experienced system administrators attempt to perform these steps.
- cPanel, L.L.C. is not responsible for any data loss that this procedure may cause.
Edit the file
- Any edits that you make directly to the
/etc/exim.conffile only work temporarily, unless you also make the same edits to the
/etc/exim.conf.localfile. The
/etc/exim.conf.localfile is Exim's override file and stores Exim's default configuration. If you do not edit the
/etc/exim.conf.localfile when you edit the
/etc/exim.conffile, the system will overwrite your changes when you update Exim.
- We strongly recommend that you use the Advanced Editor feature to make changes to your Exim configuration.
To edit the
/etc/exim.conf file, perform the following steps:
Open the
/etc/exim.conffile with a text editor and locate the following lines:
1 2 3 4 5 6
remote_smtp: driver = smtp dkim_remote_smtp: driver = smtp
Below each
driver = smtpline, add the following line:
connection_max_messages = 1
The file will resemble the following example:

an. 21 (Bloomberg) -- ACA Capital Holdings Inc., the bond insurer being run by regulators after subprime-mortgage losses, won a month's grace to unwind $60 billion of credit-default swap contracts that it can't pay.
ACA, under the control of the Maryland Insurance Administration, extended an agreement that waives collateral requirements, policy claims and termination rights until Feb. 19, the New York-based company said in a statement on Business Wire late yesterday.
The insurer said it's working with trading partners ``to develop a permanent solution to stabilize its capital position'' after losses of $1.04 billion in the third quarter.
``The monolines are dead, their business model is dead,'' said David Roche, head of investment consultancy Independent Strategy in London. ``The government is going to have to recapitalize this industry or there will be communities in the U.S. where they can't even flush their toilets'' because they can't afford the services.
Jim Cramer is pushing for the government to step in.

Texture is added by pressing soft clay slabs into a bisque-fired (hardened) slab with texture carved on it, or by pressing handmade clay stamps into damp clay. Many of the stamps are leaves, birds or ancient symbols and come from Barbara's interest in designs from nature or asian and other prehistory. She has traveled extensively to aboriginal sites in the Southwest and more recently to temples in Asia, and was struck by the quiet mystical nature of sites important to early peoples. Pottery was an art form almost from the beginning, and the allusion to ancient pottery and sculpture ties us to those times. Earlier cultures used clay pieces for functional and ritual purposes, such as the tea ceremony, and Barbara enjoys creating functional pieces for modern use. Trained at Penland School of Crafts in western North Carolina, she taught ceramics in the Chapel Hill area from 1989 to 2014. In 2002, Barbara built the Clay Centre, a venue for clay and other artists to practice and perfect their craft. Barbara's work can be purchased at Clay Centre Gallery in Carrboro, NC or on Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/ClayCentreGallery. New work can be seen on Instagram at barbarahigginspottery. Raku Travel to Asia has inspired a renewed interest in Raku for Barbara. Raku is a Japanese technique of firing, originally used for the ritual of the tea ceremony. In Raku, the piece is removed from the kiln red hot and placed in combustible material. The smoke released by the flame is absorbed into the piece, blackening any unglazed surface. There are a small number of raku pieces in Barbara's gallery.

2824 / 2844 / 3842 Series -- Resolving Print Quality Issues
Article ID: 58390746
|Important: If you are using an LP2844 printer that is used for or supplied by a shipping vendor (i.e. UPS or FedEx for example) DO NOT try to load standard firmware or drivers from the Zebra Website. These printers are used exclusively with the shipping vendor's driver and label application. Read More>>
Topic or Information
Print Quality Adjustments and Configurations for the EPL Desktop Printers
Applies To
This information is useful for
- Adjusting the quality of the printed image
- Setting the print darkness
- Setting the print speed
Symptoms addressed by this solution include
- Light print or blank labels
- Faded image
- Partially missing print
- Broken bars, voids, or lines in a barcode
The desktop printers are configured using setting that reside in the Driver, Application, or in the EPL content of a label format you may create. Since the method used for printing is based on your individual application we are demonstrating a few methods using Zebra supplies utilities or drivers. Consult with your vendor or supplier if you are not using Zebra branded printing drivers or label software.
Important: All printer settings can be impacted by commands from a mis-matched or misconfigured driver or software application. A printer that is functioning fine after setup but fails or indicates an error after label requests are received are most likely affected by the host side misconfiguration of the driver or printer software settings. The host device that generates the printer commands for printing typically have setup configuration that send these as commands to the printer. Make sure all settings match the printer settings to avoid intermittent issues
Print Quality
There are five correctable factors that can affect print quality on the desktop printer. These are
- Printhead Maintenance
- Media (labels) and Ribbon if used)
- Darkness Setting
- Print Speed
- Using the wrong power supply.
- Worn Platen
Other causes that would require corrective action include
- Printhead element failure causing white lines or white voids. Printhead Replacement Read More>>
- Worn Platen or platen bearings affecting printhead pressure.
Platen and Bearing Replacement Read More>> (105910-055 Platen Roller Replacement Kit)
1. Print Head Cleaning
A dirty print head can result in poor heat transfer and a poorly printed image: Printhead cleaning details Read More>>
2. Media
Your labels and ribbon (if used) must be matched to meet your application's printing needs. The type of labels and ribbon (if used) impacts the quality of the print. To make sure you are using the optimal Media and Ribbon combination for your application consult with your supplier.
Media used in a Direct Thermal application (not using ribbon) must have a heat sensitive coating to produce an image. You can test your media using the scratch test. Read More>>
3. Darkness
Adjusting printer darkness:
Darkness or Density Settings - Adjust the darkness to produce the appropriate intensity of the image but not so high that there is bar spread on the barcode lines or text. The darkness setting is controlled through software/driver settings or through the printer's native language EPL. These links provide darkness setting through Zebra solutions. Consult with your application provider if you are not using Zebra software or drivers.
- You can use the Zebra Setup Utility to configure the darkness setting. Read More>>
- Printing through the Zebra Designer Driver Read More>>
- If your application is printing through a 3rd party driver, contact that vendors technical support.
- If you are using EPL code in your application Read More>>
The current printer darkness value ( D ) can be seen on the printer's configuration settings. Read More>>
Note: If you not using ribbon and you increase the Darkness to maximum without seeing any image on the labels, perform the scratch test. Read More>> This will verify you are using the correct type of label in the printer.
4. Print Speed
Print speed can have an impact on the darkness of the print. Typically slowing the speed improves the print quality but testing different speeds would be recommended.
The printer operates at the selected speed in terms of inches/mm per second. Because print quality is effected by print speed, media, ribbon ( if thermal transfer ), and printer operating modes, it is important to run tests for your application to choose the optimal print speed setting. Slowing down the print speed can also help if the print is too light.
- You can use the Zebra Setup Utility to configure the print speed setting. Read More>>
- If your application is printing through the Zebra Designer Driver Read More>>
- If your application is printing through a 3rd party driver, contact that vendors technical support.
- If you are using EPL code in your application Read More>>
The current print speed value ( S ) can be seen on the printer's configuration settings. Read More>>
5. Power Supply
Intermittent light print or inconsistent print intensity using the wrong power supply
Assure you have the correct power supply (20 VDC) connected to the printer. Use of the wrong supply can result in light bands or alternating light and dark print. There are four different power supplies that have been used for the these printer models.
Hitek Plus 220 - Read More>>
Hitek Plus 120 - Read More>>
PADA200 - Read More>>
EOS Branded Power Supply - We have no pictures at this time but the manufacturer's name EOS would appear on the power supply label. This power supply is physically smaller than the PLUS 220, PLUS 120, and PUDA200 power supplies.

Zorzis Hotel
An exciting new find in Chora is this charming little family home, run as a hotel for some 30 years now but recently given a new 'boutique-hotel' look by Australian-Greek owner, Jonathan Varnalis. Zorzis is on a relatively quiet, pedestrian street in the middle of Chora (most of the other buildings are shops, not bars, and those to the rear of the hotel are private homes, so it is quite quiet at night). Its individual style is evident inside and out. Greek antiques and icons on the stairway and in the corridor mingle with original graphic artwork. Beds have patchwork quilts and the (admittedly tiny) shower rooms have black and white tiles and chrome fittings for an art deco look.
There is a simple sun-deck on the roof and a shared balcony to the front of the hotel, and the two suites each have a private balcony. To the rear of the building is a terrace, shaded by vines, which backs on to the tiny gardens of neighbouring houses, and there are a couple of round cafe tables at the front of the hotel, beside Kalogera Street. The manager is very friendly, professional and helpful, and the Zorzis is excellent value for money compared with most Mikonos hotels.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association announced Friday that award-winning NBC Sports and Racing UK broadcaster Nick Luckwill host the 47th Annual Eclipse Awards presented by Daily Racing Form, Breeders' Cup and The Stronach Group, on Thursday, January 25, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
"It is really a huge honor to be asked to present an event as prestigious as the Eclipse Awards," said Luck, who has been voted the Horserace Writers' and Photographers' Association's Broadcaster of the Year seven times in the last 10 years. "I have been lucky enough to be a part of NBC's horseracing coverage for several years – these experiences have been made all the more enjoyable by the generosity of my friends and colleagues in the U.S. racing media. Hopefully, I can do them justice next month. Having worked for several years with Jeannine, I know I have a very hard act to follow."
Luck will replace longtime Eclipse Awards host Jeannine Edwards, who recently announced her retirement from ESPN and will undergo rotator cuff surgery in January.
Luck, 39, has been broadcasting for 16 years. He rose to prominence as the main host of Channel 4's 'Morning Line' live weekly magazine show from 2010, and, from 2013, the lead presenter of Channel 4 Racing, either solely or alongside Clare Balding. In 2015, he fronted the network's live coverage of the Grand National, a four-hour broadcast which drew an audience of over 9 million viewers and which received the prestigious 'Broadcast' award for Best Live Sports Programme as well as a Royal Television Society nomination for 'Best Live Event.' Nick also anchored the Derby, Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood and all other major events until the network's franchise ended in 2017.
He currently hosts the popular weekly show 'Luck on Sunday' for Racing UK in addition to all their major events, and has recently been heard as the voice of BBC Sport's Equestrian coverage.
Luck began working as a reporter on the Breeders' Cup World Championships in 2006 for ESPN, and continued as a reporter and analyst on the ESPN telecasts through 2011. Since 2012, Luck has been a part of the NBC Sports broadcast team of the Breeders' Cup, and has also been reporter, analyst and host of Breeders' Cup Challenge series programs on NBC and NBCSN. In June, Luck hosted the first NBCSN live coverage of the Royal Ascot meeting, and will be a part of NBC's Broadcast team for the Pegasus World Cup.
"We are so delighted to have Nick Luck – whose racing knowledge, sharp presentation, and quick wit have made him one of the most respected racing broadcasters in Great Britain and in North America – as our Eclipse Awards host this year," said NTRA President and CEO Alex Waldrop. "On behalf of the presenting organizations, we also would like to thank Jeannine Edwards for her outstanding work as Eclipse Awards host the past six years, and congratulate her on a marvelous 22-year run with ESPN. We look forward to her being a part of the Eclipse Awards in the future."
Luck, who lives in London, has also worked for ITN, Equidia and Eurosport, and has been a contributor to the Evening Standard, Sunday Telegraph, The Guardian, as well many specialist racing publications.
Luck was the keynote speaker at the inaugural Equestricon in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., this past summer.
Eclipse Awards tickets are available for $425 each or $4,000 for a table of 10. Blocks of rooms have been reserved for Eclipse Awards guests at the Turnberry Isle Miami, Autograph Collection. The NTRA group rate is available through today and additional details can be found on the NTRA website at NTRA.com/eclipse-awards.
Eclipse Awards voting is conducted by the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB), the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) and Daily Racing Form. The Eclipse Awards ceremony is produced by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association.
The Eclipse Awards are named after the great 18th-century racehorse and foundation sire Eclipse, who began racing at age five and was undefeated in 18 starts, including eight walkovers. Eclipse sired the winners of 344 races, including three Epsom Derbies.

TUALATIN, Ore. – Despite creating several scoring chances in the second half, the Portland Timbers U-23s fell 1-0 against Sounders FC U23 on Sunday afternoon at Tualatin High School.
Minutes after a close scoring opportunity from Timbers U-23s midfielder Miguel Aguilar that forced a save by Sounders FC U23 goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell, Seattle (2-2-0, 6pts) took the lead when forward Luis Esteves created space in the left side of the penalty box and scored past Timbers U-23s goalkeeper Justin Luthy in the 56th minute.
Portland (1-2-2, 5pts) pushed offensively after conceding the opening goal and nearly leveled the match just two minutes later. Midfielder Jose Ribas was released down the left flank and delivered a cross to Aguilar at the far right post, but Aguilar's shot struck the woodwork. Aguilar came close again in the 61st minute, but his shot from the right side of the penalty box went wide.
Luthy finished the match with four saves, while the Timbers U-23s earned a 13-11 advantage in shots. Caldwell collected three saves in the match for Sounders FC U23.
The Timbers U-23s take to the road for four consecutive matches, starting with back-to-back games next weekend. Portland travels to face Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-23s on Friday, June 6, at UBC Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver; kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Pacific). The next day, the Timbers U-23s visit Victoria Highlanders FC for a match on Sunday, June 7, at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, B.C.; kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Pacific).
Notes: The Timbers U-23s lost to Sounders FC U23 on Sunday for just the second time at home in all competitions since 2009 … Midfielders Fatai Alashe and Miguel Aguilar both took a team-high four shots in the match.

Samsung Galaxy S III to Arrive on Five U.S. Carriers Starting This Month
Samsung said on Monday that it is bringing its flagship Galaxy S III smartphone to all four major U.S. carriers and U.S. Cellular starting later this month.
The phones will start at $199, with each carrier announcing pricing and specific plans in the coming weeks.
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across all major carriers," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America, in a statement. "Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The Galaxy S III runs the latest version of the Android operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich) and has a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD touchscreen and an eight-megapixel camera, as well as a front-facing 1.9-megapixel camera. The smartphone also comes with its own voice recognition system called S Voice, which acts in a similar fashion to the iPhone 4S's Siri feature.
One difference between the U.S. version of the Galaxy S III and the international model, however, is that the former ships with a dual-core processor instead of a quad-core processor.
Introduced in May, the Galaxy S III went on sale in Europe last week. Samsung's Galaxy S phones have traditionally provided the iPhone with its closest sales rival.

Thinking about Positive Psychology and well-being, one will sooner or later ponder the question whether and how our thinking, or mind, influences health and disease.
Answers to this question vary greatly. On the one extreme is the traditional medical viewpoint, in which illness constitutes a biophysical disorder and is caused by factors such as viruses, trauma, genetic vulnerability or environmental triggers (e. g. toxins). On the other end of the spectrum, people, such as the followers of the New Age movement, see every illness as a lesson, brought upon us because we need to learn something important in order to grow spiritually. In this paradigm, it is the mind alone that causes the illness, and the mind alone can cure it.
Let's be honest: whatever you believe, you will likely be able to find prove for it. Let's consider the following scenarios:
- Think of a young child that died of cancer. Could it possibly have contributed to its illness, did it fail to "learn its lesson"? If the answer is no, then it can not have been the mind that caused the illness.
- But then, recent studies proved that people with positive emotions have a later lung cancer onset, higher resistance to viral infections and better immune functioning when compared to people with a rather negative mindset. If all other variables are identical in those studies, wasn't it the mind that made the difference towards health?
I recently read some books on this topic 1, 2 and would summarize my viewpoint on how we can reconcile these events in three statements:
1. Western Medicine and Psychology: an artificial ditch
Western Medicine started out as a purely physical-level science. Medical practitioners can usually observe or "measure" disease and progress towards healing, for example by quantifying various body functions such as temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone levels etc. In contrast, Psychology became the science of internal processes that require interpretation: psychological disease and growth can only be assessed indirectly, through people's self-description in questionnaires and conversations. They can however not be measured directly through diagnostic tests.*
In accordance to the above, the classification of an illness can be relatively straight forward. When we break our leg for example, nobody would recommend psychotherapy, just as we would not suggest surgery to a trauma victim.
This western world view however, which defines things as belonging to categories possessing discrete attributes and sharp boundaries to other classes of things, is now being challenged in many fields.
Where, for example, does "orange" end and "red" begin? Where does homosexuality end and bisexuality begin? When does a mammal become a reptile? Where does bipolar disorder end and schizophrenia begin? None of these questions can be answered satisfactorily, and so the Australian Platypus is classified as a mammal although it does lay eggs, and psychologists introduce more disorders such as the schizo-affective disorder for cases that share symptoms of both bipolar depression and schizophrenia.
These challenges however point towards the realisation that things don't exist in distinct categories, but are inter-connected within a continuum. In the health sector, the separation between "psychological" versus "medical" illness is not only insufficient for explaining reality, but is often counter-productive to those who seek help. In fact, most diseases don't stem from a single and isolated cause, but are a product of countless uniquely interacting factors (e.g. heredity, occupation, culture, diet, life-style, personality, mindset). None of those factors can be isolated from the others, and it gets more complex as they also manifest on different levels.
Consequently, over the last decades more and more physical troubles have been understood as so called psychosomatic disorders: there is now an acknowledgement that their occurrence and development are influenced by social, psychological and behavioural factors. To name just a few, some of those disorders are chronic pain, tinnitus, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases3.
2. Both body and mind affect healing
Based on the points above, it is impossible to examine or treat the body without affecting the mind and vice versa. "Body" and "mind" are simply two aspects of the same thing, and whatever happens on one level of being affects all the other levels to a greater or lesser degree.
Consider the recent study of Prof. Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin: Two groups of hospital patients were anxious about a forthcoming operation. Both of them received an anti-anxiety drug through a catheter on a regular schedule. However, only one of the the two groups was visited by a doctor by the time the drug was given. The doctor only did some basic checks, after which he reassured them that they should feel better in a moment. Those in the other group received the usual hospital care, but no doctor's visit. The remarkable discovery was that only those who saw the doctor got any benefit from the drug, while the other group reported no benefit at all. This shows that the reassurance by the doctor caused the effect as it created a positive shift in the patient's mind, while the effect of the "real treatment", the drug, was negligible.4
In exactly the same way can physical illness affect the mind. Simply think back to a time when you were severely sick or had chronic pain. Try to remember how it changed the way you felt, or which changes you made after your recovery.
The next question would be how much influence our thoughts have on physical parameters. This is a difficult question to answer and differs from person to person. Consider the Tummo monks who can through meditation alter their body temperature to a point where they can dry wet towels on their uncovered skin in freezing temperatures. We are only at the beginning of an understanding of what is possible.
One of the most successful and rather easy strategies which have been proven beneficial for healing is positive visualisation. Imagery influences our body and immune system directly, be it positively or negatively. The reason for this is that the visual circuit is evolutionary much older than others areas of the brain (like those responsible for language for example), and thus more ingrained in our physiology.
3. The logical fallacy
The above suggests that every healing process is affected by psychology, and every illness has a psychological component. In this regard, every illness could be be called psychosomatic. This is a crucial realisation which was disregarded or underestimated in the history of Western societies.
In some New Age circles however, people seem to have moved to the other extreme, postulating that all illness is created by our own mind (which one would call psychogenic, not psychosomatic). These beliefs seems to be strong especially for very scary diseases about whose causes we still have very little knowledge, like cancer.
This is also due to the reason that people often make significant and profound psychological changes when they suffer from a major illness, and bystanders then conclude that it was the lack of those changes that caused the illness. This is not necessarily true, and in some cases this would be as if someone observed a person taking an aspirin to treat a headache, and then concluded it was a lack of the pill's active agent acetylsalicylic acid that caused the headache.
Obviously, anyone is free to hold their own beliefs on the questions raised. Yet, it can be perceived as judgemental and patronizing for patients suffering from a major, life threatening illness when outsiders provide a self-made diagnosis which holds them entirely responsible for their pain. This is where I would speak out for cautiousness and sincere interest in the patient's circumstances instead of judgement. Sometimes we like to believe that someone brought negative circumstances upon themselves because the alternative conclusion, that bad things can randomly happen to good people, threatens us.
From a holistic viewpoint, illness is a product of various physical, emotional and mental factors, and treatment should involve all of these dimensions where applicable. Furthermore, thought processes and beliefs can most definitely be the deciding factor towards health or sickness. I believe we should use the power of our thoughts as much as we can, and newer fields such as Behavioural Medicine acknowledge this by combining medical and psychological treatments.
There are however also factors we cannot influence, and sometimes we might have to surrender and realise that we are not like an almighty being who can order the universe around as we please. To know the difference is real wisdom, as reflected in an old prayer:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."
*Although psychiatrists, coming from the medical camp, try to develop tools which can measure objective markers for psychological disorders.

On Friday the Farook family insisted Syed Rizwan Farook was so normal.
"He was living the American dream."

But on Saturday Farook's father told Italian reporters his son supported ISIS and hated Israel and the Jews.
Times of Israel reported:

In an interview with Italian daily La Stampa, Farook said that he once tried to console his son by promising him that Israel would not exist in another two years because "China, Russia and America will bring the Jews back to Ukraine."
In Sunday's La Stampa (link in Italian) report, Farook said, "My son said that he shared [IS leader Abu Bakr] Al Baghdadi's ideology and supported the creation of the Islamic State. He was also obsessed with Israel."

"I told him he had to stay calm and be patient because in two years Israel will not exist any more. Geopolitics is changing: Russia, China and America don't want Jews there any more. They are going to bring the Jews back to Ukraine. What is the point of fighting? We have already done it and we lost. Israel is not to be fought with weapons, but with politics. But he did not listen to me, he was obsessed," Farook explained to US correspondent Paolo Mastrolilli.
Farook's son is suspected of carrying out a mass shooting that killed 14 people in San Bernardino. The father was interviewed in Corona, California, where he lives with his older son, Syed Raheel Farook, a US Navy veteran.

Farook senior was born in Pakistan and arrived in the US in 1973. The family has been described by many as very integrated in American society, almost the embodiment of the American dream.

Josh Kurtz -- Around the Horn: Delaney and Gansler, and Hogan
By: Josh Kurtz
Maybe it's just a feint. Maybe Congressman John Delaney (D) isn't thinking about running for governor after all.
What if he's just enjoying all the speculation about his plans, which becomes more rampant as the Feb. 25 filing deadline approaches? He'd hardly be the first politician to be guilty of that.
But most of all, what if he's just enjoying torturing Doug Gansler? At the very least, he seems to be sending Gansler a few messages.
As we've written before, a Delaney candidacy would have a direct impact on all three Democratic candidates for governor. He'd definitely cost both Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and state Del. Heather Mizeur critical votes.
But a Delaney candidacy would be fatal to Gansler, the state attorney general. And Delaney has good reason to flip Gansler the bird.
Delaney's withering remarks about the failures of the state's health care exchange are a direct rebuke to Brown – and indirectly, the state's political establishment. But in his short political career, Delaney has always been estranged from party leaders. The very nature of his campaign for Congress ensured that.
More interesting – and possibly even more pointed – was Delaney's statement last week after Gansler proposed allowing Marylanders to sign up for health care through the federal exchange in addition to the state program.
"I compliment Attorney General Gansler for suggesting a sensible solution on the Maryland Exchange which is the same solution we have been proposing for months," Delaney said, curtly.
Delaney and Gansler have a history. They've been friends. They travel in the same circles. Delaney has been a supporter of Gansler's previous campaigns, appearing on the list of wealthy sponsors of the AG's annual Montgomery County fundraisers.
So when Delaney went against the establishment by running for Congress in 2012 against a candidate anointed by party leaders, he had every expectation that Gansler, who likes to tweak the establishment whenever he can, would support him. Instead, Gansler sat on his hands – not so much out of deference to the party bosses, but to avoid offending Daphne Bloomberg, a party activist extraordinaire from the 15th legislative district who was a key supporter of Rob Garagiola, the establishment choice for the congressional seat.
Peter Franchot, Donna Edwards, Valerie Ervin – they didn't hesitate to get behind Delaney, a guy they hardly knew. But Gansler couldn't bring himself to endorse his old friend.
So is all this Delaney for governor talk political payback? Maybe. But then again, maybe it's just a gentle nudge.
It's become increasingly apparent that Gansler can't win the Democratic primary. And surely if Delaney is serious about a last minute bid for governor, he'll need Gansler out of the way if he is to have any prayer of winning, his millions notwithstanding. So maybe this is Delaney extending Gansler a lifeline, dangling his congressional seat as a graceful way out of the gubernatorial election and a way to extend his political career (even Daphne Bloomberg would likely approve).
We'll all know how this drama plays out soon enough.
The Restoration
Larry Hogan goes to pains to insist that his candidacy for governor, like his anti-O'Malley group Change Maryland, can appeal to independents and dissident Democrats as well as to Republicans. But now that he's a full-blown candidate, that's harder to see.
More and more, Hogan's bid – which, to be sure, is exciting Republicans more than the campaigns for the other three GOP candidates – seems like an attempt at a restoration: the restoration of the Ehrlich era in Annapolis.
Hogan's time in government, of course, came in the service of Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R). Kendel Ehrlich, the former first lady, was prominent at Hogan's announcement at Mike's Crab House last week, a blessing from a power couple now on political Elba. And to reinforce the Ehrlich ties, Hogan tapped Boyd Rutherford, a fellow alumnus of the Ehrlich cabinet, to be his running mate (Rutherford, you'll recall, is the guy who tried to kick reporters out of their traditional lair in the basement of the State House during Ehrlich's tenure).
Hogan invoked his father, the former congressman and Prince George's County executive Lawrence Hogan, to illustrate his own ability to be politically independent. The elder Hogan, the son pointed out, was the first Republican in Congress to call for President Nixon's impeachment in 1974 (and for that heresy, the elder Hogan was tossed aside by GOP voters in that year's gubernatorial primary, despite being the frontrunner).
Even though Hogan's message of lower taxes and less intrusive government no doubt appeals to many independents and some conservative Democrats, he is, at heart, a partisan brawler, more in the Ehrlich mold than that of his politically moderate father. Democrats know it and are lying in wait.
Hogan will have money and the affection of Republican insiders for the November election if he wins the primary in June. But at least some Democrats believe Harford County Executive David Craig (R), measured, thoughtful, and with a long record of public service, would be a more formidable general election foe, particularly after this messy Democratic primary.

On the heels of announcing his Epic Records deal and the release of two singles working toward his tenth studio album, T.I. returns with the Meek Mill-assisted "Jefe" visual on Wednesday (Sept. 12). The Nathan R. Smith helmed clip finds the rap titans entering a dust-filled saloon that ends up reviving citizens of a village plagued by gruesome warfare.
Bangladesh's horn-laden production instantly flips the crime scene into an all-out celebration. The visual seems to be inspired by Southern Mexico's Day of the Dead that normally runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. Most of the cameos throughout the video are laced with haunting calavera skull facepaint to accompany Meek and Tip's bristling rhymes.
The ATL trap pioneer continues to gear up for the release of his anticipated Dime Trap album, which is slated to drop before 2018's out. Additionally, he connected with Memphis rapper Yo Gotti for "Wraith" last week (Sept. 7). Meek Mill finally found some common ground with Drake, bringing their longstanding feud to an entertaining close. The pair of former adversaries reunited on stage Saturday night (Sept. 8) for a heartwarming embrace during a Boston stop of the Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour.

YouTube Footage Confirms Vancouver Kissing Couple's Story [VIDEO]
Haven't had enough of this, the romance of the ages, the Vancouver Kissing Couple? Well, footage has popped up on YouTube showing what happened before and after the iconic photo — and highlighting the terror of the riots.
Soon after the Vancouver Canucks lost game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals to the Boston Bruins, rioting broke out. As the violence became more intense, we found numerous pictures on photo-sharing sites such as Twitpic and Yfrog, as well as professional pictures, like an ardent snap from Getty Images of a couple kissing among the ruins.
Some were speculating that the photo was staged. But photographer Rich Lam stuck by his claim that the shot was spontaneous.
On Friday, The Star identified the couple as 29-year-old Scott Jones from Perth, Australia, and Alexandra Thomas from Vancouver, and the couple soon appeared on the Today show to tell their story.
It seems that the tale is wholly verifiable, if the video above is any indication. What do you think of this unfolding story?

Jon Stewart Reunites With Stephen Colbert on 'The Late Show' for the First Time Since the Inauguration
On Tuesday's Late Show, Stephen Colbert took aim at President Donald Trump's flurry of executive orders over the last 11 days, and called on his close friend and fellow political satirist Jon Stewart to help poke fun at some of the president's controversial decrees.
Stewart, who's made some fiery and impassioned appearances on The Late Show in the past, came out dressed as Trump -- rocking a six-foot-long red tie, ill-fitting blue suit and literally a dead, stuffed animal strapped to his head.
The longtime collaborators could barely keep a straight face while talking about Stewart's costume, and watching the pair chat felt like being in the room with two best friends reconnecting for the first time after years apart.
WATCH: Jon Stewart Impersonates Donald Trump While Joking Around With Stephen Colbert on 'Late Show'
After goofing around, Stewart got down to business, reading off three (satirical) executive orders he said Trump is getting ready to sign in the coming days.
The first order will ask China to give us their Great Wall, so that we don't have to build our own. As for how to get Mexico to pay for it? "When the Great Wall arrives at the southern border, we shut the lights out and pretend we're not home," Stewart said, playing the role of Trump. "It's [cash on delivery], Mexico has to sign for it, boom, they have to pay for it. Done."
WATCH: Stephen Colbert Shares Emotional Reaction to Election Results, Cheers on Anti-Trump Protesters
As for Trump's second order, Stewart says he's going to declare one official national language, and it's not English.
"The new official language of the United States is bulls**t," Stewart read from the fake executive order. "I, Donald J. Trump, have instructed my staff to speak only in bulls**t. And by the way, none of that, 'Sure, I'll speak bulls**t at work, but at home I'm going to use facts and real information.' No! Bulls**t all the time! Immersion is the only way to be fluent."
Finally, Stewart got a bit more serious with his final fictitious executive order, which he once again read from the perspective of the president.
"I, Donald J. Trump, do declare… that I am exhausting," Stewart deadpanned. "The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public."
The former Daily Show host showed a hint of the razor wit and deep political passion that made his time on the Comedy Central program so popular when he delivered what amounted to an impassioned plea to the people, explaining, "It is going to take relentless stamina, vigilance and every institutional check and balance this great country can muster," to keep Trump from "going full [Emperor] Palpatine."

"No one action will be adequate. All actions will be necessary," Stewart added, speaking directly to the camera. "And if we do not allow Donald Trump to exhaust our fight, and somehow come through this presidency calamity-less and constitutionally partially intact, then [Trump] will have demonstrated the greatness of America. Just not the way [he] thought."
Last July, Stewart made a surprise appearance on The Late Show where he (briefly) took over Colbert's desk to deliver a blistering attack on Trump and some of his most extreme public advocates. Check out the video below to hear more.

Website Design & Development
The Not-So-Quiet Revolution Of Open Source Software
At Aradius we use lots of open source software solutions like WordPress, Drupal, Linux, NGINX & Ubuntu. We do this for a number of reasons. Mostly to avoid locking our clients into pricy proprietary software solutions ( ahem! ASPNET / IIS we're looking at you. ). But like lots of other innovative software companies out there these days we realized pretty early on that if you stand on the shoulders of giants you can innovate at even higher levels. And these open-source vendors with teams of sometimes thousands of contributors around the world are nothing short of giants in the depth and breadth of their offerings.
The Awesome Power & Elasticity Of AWS
Cloud Computing is a buzzword that gets thrown around a lot these days without most people taking the time to appreciate what it really means. It's a revolutionary concept in computing architecture enabling smaller teams to deploy and manage virtualized data-centers at a fraction of the cost and on an unprecedented scale. That's a lot to get your head around so let's break this down in simpler terms. Cloud Computing offers a means for simplifying and consolidating your computing resources. At Aradius we partner with Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) to offer powerful cloud computing capabilities. You pay only for what you use and we manage everything from your network to your DNS, to enterprise-grade email services and website hosting.
Web Development Isn't Rocket Science
While this is a cute statement, web development done correctly is in fact pretty tricky stuff.

Doesn't that title sound dry? Like something from a 1960-ish black and white high school film?
I went to a homeschool conference on Friday, and listened to Ginny Seufert speak, and one of the questions she put forth was, why is America raising a generation of brats? Then she talked about American parents being "providers" for their children, who are generally "consumers". After generations of American kids being indispensable to their families, working hard on the family farm or store or restaurant, or aiding their families in other ways, parents have become the chauffeurs, valets, cooks and maids for their offspring.
Mrs. Seufert made the point that giving kids work to do for the family--hard work, important work--gives the children a true sense of self-esteem, as they realize that the family relies on them; not the fragile self-esteem that comes from the false praises so readily handed out to children today [6 year-old goes down a slide at a playground and parent applauds: "Way to go, Tommy!"]. The latter type of self-esteem will be crushed at the child's first foray into the world of grown-ups. The former is true and real, and can be built upon.
The night before last Bret shot a huge opossum lurking in the barn. Adrian, 8 years old, has been in charge of gathering the eggs and locking up the hens at night. Well, this morning Una reported that the hen house door had been left open last night and that something got one of the hens. One was missing and there were feathers all around the hen house. Now, I couldn't exactly punish Adrian for not remembering to lock them up--he didn't purposely forget. But I needed to make him realize that because of his error, we are going to go from having 21 eggs a week on average to only 14. That pretty much means that eggs for breakfast is not an option unless I don't use any for a full week.
So I had him suit up and clean the hen house. It's hard work, and his oldest brother supervised, but he got it done and I tossed him into the bathtub after, because it is dirty, smelly work. But he came in feeling really good about himself, which would not have been the case if I had merely taken away privileges for his oversight.
Sebastian, 11, has been doing the milking every day but Sundays for a year now. He is responsible and has learned to pay attention to the cows and take note of little things with them. He takes care of his equipment and has his routine, and although I would never say that he loves milking (in fact I know he rather dislikes the chore, as much as he may like the cows), he knows that we need him, that if it were not for him, we might not even keep a cow. And I think that makes him feel good. It sure makes me feel good...
