— Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog is an artificially-created hedgehog, billed as "The Ultimate Life Form". In BearfootTruck's stories, he does not serve with the Knothole Freedom Fighters, although he has sided with them on many occasions. Otherwise, he works behind the scenes, chipping away at the evil forces of the Eggman Empire and any other entities that pose a significant threat to the planet. Mostly, he's no different from the official Ultimate Life Form. For a bunch of other fakers, go here.
Shadow's backstory is exactly the same. One minor note, though: Due to the backstory of this universe, Maria's & Professor Gerald's last name may be "Kintobor" instead of "Robotnik".
For the most part, Shadow has the same cold, brooding personality as the official canon. However, in this universe, he is a bit more arrogant. He also seems to be a bit more mentally unstable (although is this really possible with Shadow?). Additionally, he's somewhat more aggressive, especially towards Sonic, even threatening to kill him once. However, he has also had moments where he seemed to be in a good mood.
No changes. He did, however, wear a Gestapo cap in "Two Kinds of Heroes"
Shadow retains all of his abilities in this universe, and he has a couple of new ones: Mechanical skills & piano playing
Items & weapons
Shadow has an arsenal of firearms at his disposal: His main sidearm is a Walther P-38, which he received in "Two Kinds of Heroes". For extra firepower, he carries a customized Smith & Wesson Model 29, which has walnut grips with the Black Arms emblem etched in them & Maria's name engraved on the barrel. He also has a Heckler & Koch MP5 in case he needs full-auto capability. At one point, he even owned a customized Colt Python, but he gave it to Sonic for unknown reasons. He also carries different types of ammunition with him, including special armor-piercing bullets for robots.
Two Kinds of Heroes
In this story, Shadow somehow makes his way to Hammelburg, Germany. Here, he joins the Gestapo after being duped into believing that they were part of a "Master Race". As a result, he becomes chief security officer for Stalag 13 and gets along poorly with the rest of Klink's staff. When Shadow & Sonic first encounter each other here, Klink warns the two hedgehogs that personal vendettas won't be tolerated in Stalag 13. Nevertheless, Shadow takes it upon himself to warn Sonic not to try anything funny or he'll kill him. Despite his commitment to his job, Shadow starts questioning whether he's doing the right thing.
Later, Antoine confronts Shadow and orders him to surrender. However, the Ultimate Life Form is undeterred and throws him out of Klink's office. In a further attempt to get on his good side, LeBeau brings him a tray of apple strudel. Shadow confiscates them and threatens to break LeBeau's neck. While no one is looking, though, he takes one and eats it. He loves the taste, and makes it his new favorite food.
That night, when Sonic & some other Heroes break out, Shadow conducts a surprise inspection. When he sees that Sonic is missing, he blames it on Sally and hits her a few times. However, he is interrupted when a group of Cylon Centurions invades the barracks. After helping Knuckles & Rouge take them down, Shadow has a change of heart and quits the Gestapo. However, he keeps the Walther P-38 that he was issued as a sidearm.
The Fakest Things Alive
Having escaped back to Mobius somehow, Shadow collides with Sonic. He gets mad at Sonic and chases him to the outskirts of Eggopolis, losing the Blue Blur at a junkyard. Though Shadow has given up for now, he still has a bone to pick with Sonic. He encounters Antoine & Rotor, who are also looking for Sonic. Antoine freaks out, but Shadow assures him that he's no longer with the Gestapo. Rouge is also present during this meeting. The next day, Shadow encounters Sonic (actually an impostor) and gets sprayed with sleeping gas. When he wakes up, he finds out that the impostor doodled all over his face, which makes him really mad. While searching for Sonic, he encounters Antoine & Bunnie, but neither of them know where the Blue Blur is.
Eventually, Shadow finds the impostor Sonic again. Seeing that he's kidnapped Cheese, the Ultimate Life Form kills him with a Chaos Spear and tries to free Cheese. However, the impostor has recovered and become stronger, so Shadow engages him in a fierce battle. Despite wielding a .44 Magnum, Shadow is almost killed during the battle. In fact, he finally manages to defeat the impostor with the assistance of Silver and gives Cheese back to Cream. He asks Cream & Vanilla if they have any apple strudel, to which they reply negatively. Afterwards, he tells Silver to go away.
With one impostor defeated, Shadow uses his .44 Magnum to gun down the other one. However, this one also recovers, turning into a mad fire-breathing dragon. At this point, Blaze shows up and helps Shadow to defeat the dragon, in addition to destroying a bunch of stealthbots. In the end, Shadow confronts Sonic, thinking that he's responsible for all the wrongs that the impostor committed.
And Down Will Come Sonic – Cradle and All
Shadow is having a philosophical discussion with Sonic about mercy when Sally alerts Sonic to a distress signal at Kinto Village. When the Blue Blur responds, Shadow races him over there. However, it turns out to be a trap set by Dr. Robotnik. The two hedgehogs battle his forces, but Sonic steps on a spike and hurts his foot. Rather than helping him out, though, Shadow leaves him behind and chooses to pursue Robotnik's forces instead.
While Sonic is suffering from the effects of sodium barboxide poisoning, Shadow is fighting Robotnik's badniks in order to draw them away from the Atomic Decoupler, Robotnik's newest superweapon. He also appears in some of Sonic's dreams. In his most notable moment, Shadow appears as an NYPD officer who confronts a wounded Sonic. In a repeat of Dirty Harry, he "kills" Sonic with a .44 Magnum. In the real world, once Sonic recovers, Shadow encounters the Freedom Fighters outside of Robotnik's HQ and chides them for spending time helping Sonic. Nevertheless, he helps them by distracting Robotnik's forces, allowing them to destroy the Atomic Decoupler.
Shadow also appears in the "Sonic Says" segment, where he calls Antoine "ugly" and tells him that he should die, causing him to cry.
Mighty Sonic
Like most of Sonic's friends, Shadow is a big fan of Super Changin' Muscle Rangers. He's probably the biggest fan of the show, too, because he refers to his favorite character – Walt Zacharias, the black Muscle Ranger – as being like a brother. He also calls the show a "glorious epiphany" and gets very mad at Sonic for badmouthing the show. When Shadow encounters Sonic later on, he gets into a fight with him regarding the show, but he stops fighting when Ol' Blue tells him that the Muscle Rangers stars were kidnapped. Using Chaos Control, he catches up with Rouge.
Shadow & Rouge go on a mission to rescue their beloved stars, where they are joined by Amy & Antoine. The operation appears to be going well at first. Unfortunately, Shadow is hit by a stun bolt and knocked out, and the group is captured. Luckily, Sonic & the rest of the gang show up to rescue them & the Muscle Rangers stars. After the rescue, Shadow expresses his gratitude to Manny Taylor, the actor who plays Walt, even going so far to refer to him by his character's name. Manny tells him that it's only a TV show, causing Shadow to feel betrayed. Feeling that his favorite show was "ruined', he blames the whole thing on Sonic.
In the "Sonic Says" segment, Shadow is Tails' partner for a science project. He gets annoyed when Sonic delays Tails for this segment.
Other stories
Sonic Hotcakes
Shadow uses Chaos Control to teleport into Robotnik's lair. He expresses his gratitude to the Doctor for releasing him from Prison Island and gives him hotcakes for a gift. Of course, just like everyone else, he is rudely attacked by Robotnik's minions. However, he manages to escape using Chaos Control. Later, he saves Cream & Cheese from Robotnik's minions.
Shadow also appears in the "Sonic Says" segment, where he gets mad at Sonic because he got Sonic '06 for Xbox 360 as a Christmas present. As a result, he chases after Sonic.
Live Each Day
Shadow breaks into the home of Gray the Hedgehog, an ordinary hedgehog who works for a living. The reason he broke in was because he had begun to question the promise he made to Maria. He also questions whether Gray is living life to the fullest. After Shadow tells his life story to Gray, he chews him out for having all the amenities of modern life and not being grateful for it. Thus, Shadow has one demand for Gray: Live each day as if it were his last. Also, he asks him to spare a thought for Maria. With that, Shadow runs off into the night.
Sonic Hypothesis
Shadow is now a student at Daniel Griffith High School in Station Square. On the first day of the story, he intentionally drops a soda can and demands that Sonic pick it up. He gets mad when Sonic chucks the can at him instead and is about to beat him up when Principal Silvestri arrives. Shadow lets Sonic go for now, but the next day, when Sonic bumps into him and causes him to drop all his books, Shadow hits him. As a result, Principal Silvestri gives Shadow a week's suspension.
A Blue Light For the Dark
Shadow makes a brief appearance in this story. He encounters Sonic in the Great Forest. The Blue Blur freaks out, thinking that he's Mephiles. However, Sonic calms down and apologizes when he realizes who he's really talking to. That aside, Shadow returns a copy of the book Mysterious Akavir to Sonic, but is perplexed when Ol' Blue says that it isn't his. Then, the Ultimate Life Form realizes that the book actually belongs to Knuckles. Although Shadow makes no further appearances after this, Mephiles mentions (to himself) that he finds Shadow to be very attractive.

There are a lot of ideas out there as to what might enhance your creativity. Some work. Some don't. Some work more than others. Some work for some people but not others.
There's no tried and true method for determining what works other than trying different things and seeing if it works for you.
I would strongly advise that you don't pay money for something touted as a sure fire way to jack up your creativity. The best advice is to just relax and try to have to have fun with it.
Expand your horizons and try to expose yourself to new ideas from different people.

Mount Rainier National Park
Washington, USA
| +1 360-569-2211
"Paradise" on a grey dayFor several summers, I just couldn't seem to get the timing right for wildflowers while hiking around Mt. Rainier: too early, too late, too cold, rain...Finally, one summer, although the skies were grey and getting lower on the glaciers, I arrived at the meadows near Paradise Ranger Station to find lupine and paintbrush in full bloom.
(For best chances of seeing the wildflowers in bloom, try mid-July through mid-August and/or call the ranger station...)

text: Equis ISSN 2398-2977 Distal phalanx: pedal osteitis - non-septic Contributor(s): Graham Munroe Introduction Pathogenesis Diagnosis Treatment Outcomes Introduction Cause: chronic inflammation of the distal phalanx often characterized by demineralization; usually secondary to other chronic foot problems. Signs: chronic, usually forelimb, lameness Musculoskeletal: gait evaluation either uni- or bi-lateral with history of pre-existing foot abnormalities. Diagnosis: foot and shoe examination Foot / shoe: examination , gait evaluation Musculoskeletal: gait evaluation , perineural analgesia Forelimb: perineural analgesia Hindlimb: perineural analgesia , radiography Forelimb: radiography , scintigraphy Bone: scintigraphy . Treatment: as for primary cause; corrective shoeing and trimming; NSAIDs; palmar digital neurectomy Palmar digital nerve: neurectomy . Prognosis: guarded, depending on primary cause. Pathogenesis Etiology Primary non-septic pedal osteitis occurs rarely and is thought to result from severe solar concussion during exercise on hard surfaces. Secondary non-septic pedal osteitis is more common and may occur due to persistent inflammation secondary to laminitis Foot: laminitis , persistent solar bruising Foot: sole bruising , incorrect foot trimming and shoeing , poor foot conformation Musculoskeletal: conformation and distal phalangeal fractures Distal phalanx: fractures . Predisposing factorsGeneral Chronic hoof disease, eg persistent bruising, laminitis. Poor foot conformation Musculoskeletal: conformation : Long toe, low collapsed heels with flared quarters. Flattened sole. Thin, poor-quality horn. Excessive trimming or paring of the sole. Excessive exercise or inappropriate ground conditions, eg hard rocky surfaces or racetracks. Pathophysiology Poorly-defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the distal phalanx, often characterized by demineralization and a range of radiographic changes in the distal phalanx. Two forms are described depending on their etiology: Non-septic. Septic Distal phalanx: pedal osteitis - septic . The distal phalanx has no medullary cavity and the term 'osteomyelitis' should not be used. Usually secondary to other chronic foot-related problems. Chronic inflammation and trauma to the bone of the distal phalanx → re-modeling of the bone and loss of mineral → osteoporosis. Chronic pain and disease → further removal of bone and mineral.

"For the last 6 months, Dr. Zayed has been treating me with nutritional supplements & vitamins, all hormone free. Under his care I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon. I experienced less muscle fatigue & faster recovery after my training runs, allowing me to train harder to obtain my running goals. Thank you, Dr. Z!"
-Dr. Mike M.
My name is Jack. I recently took my mother to see Dr Zayed because she had not been feeling well for over a year and none of her Doctors could figure out was was wrong with her. At one Point her Primary physician told her "I think it's all in your mind" and was planning to refer her to a Psychologist.
My mother had been suffering from severe fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety and insomnia. On her first evaluation, Dr Zayed gave her hope and assured her that she was not "going crazy". With a comprehensive evaluation he was able to figure out what was wrong with her and within a few weeks of treatment my mother's symptoms had improved and she continues to feel much better.
Thank you Dr Zayed for giving my mother quality of life again!
Dear Dr. Zayed,
Since I started with our treatment plan, I feel much better. The main difference is improved focus and concentration. I am back to work as a scientist now.
Thank you – Heide M. K.
Living each day with a healthy lifestyle is very important to me and Dr. Zayed has helped me to do this by treating my hormone imbalances, thyroid, cholesterol and overall health through the use of supplements and compound formulas that are more effective and much healthier alternatives than those prescribed by a traditional medical doctor. He is a compassionate and caring doctor that really cares about the welfare of his patients, which is very much appreciated.
Where do I begin? I suffered a detrimental reaction to an antibiotic that was prescribed after discovering I had a UTI. Since then I started feeling paresthesia in my back, was hallucinating and having muscle and tendons pain and in general constantly feeling weak. I went to several Doctors and never found the solution or comfort I was seeking. After reading a ton of articles on how the medication had affected others I knew I had to make changes and see a Doctor in order to stabilize my health. When I came to Dr. Zayed, I was in pain, swollen and couldn't sleep much and had a lot of brain fog. After being treated by him I slowly started gaining back my health. The way he explains things in detail and takes his time to make sure I understand is very important to me. The supplements he recommended have eased some of my swelling and has helped me sleep better. When I come to see Dr. Zayed I feel as he is treating me as a whole and not just what I am complaining about. He asks details about my diet, health, eating and sleeping habits. He deals with his patients throughly. He is one of the best Doctors I have ever been treated by and I highly recommend him.
Rosa J.
I am a 37 year old mother of three that was running on empty! I am a fit, healthy woman with a loving and supportive family. I couldn't understand what was going on with me. I had gone to my doctor explaining that I was tired, irritable and extremely anxious. After performing some routine medical exams, she couldn't "medically" find anything wrong with me that would cause what I was feeling. The only option she could give me was to try and alleviate my symptoms was anti anxiety meds. I was not ready to go down that road. And that is when Dr. Zayed came into the picture!
Dr. Zayed is a friend and colleague of my Dr. and suggested I go see him. After our initial consultation, I already felt confident that Dr. Zayed would get to the bottom of what was causing my symptoms. He wanted to know everything about me and my lifestyle. He was asking all the right questions and as I was answering them felt so comfortable with his approach.
After a series of very detailed blood work and urinalysis, Dr. Zayed found what "internally" was causing all the symptoms I was feeling. A few lifestyle changes and some supplements/vitamins later, I am a new woman!
Dr. Zayed doesn't just want to treat your symptoms, he gets to the bottom of what is causing them. I've been dealing with the issue for almost 10 years and went to a few other doctors who offered no help. I am so grateful for Dr. Zayed, his approach and now his friendship!
My name is Hayssam. Before contacting Dr. Zayed 8 months ago, I used to feel tired and exhausted all the time.
Dr Zayed ordered blood work & found a lot of parameters out of range and I was not comfortable to use medicines… I noticed that Dr. Zayed is very experienced in such cases and treat with Vitamins & supplements all hormone free. I started following his recommendations 6 months ago. I started recently feeling much better and lately made a recent blood test and found that all parameters have been adjusted and within normal range & I feel now very healthy and active.
Thank you, Dr. Zayed.
CEO, Import / Export Chemical Company – The Middle East
Thank you, Dr. Zayed.

In 2004 the European Commission published a Guidance Document on 'Hunting under the Birds Directive'. This aims to provide clear guidance on how Member States should be reflecting the principles laid down in the Directive in their national measures for regulating hunting.
The guidance document, which has since been updated in the light of latest jurisprudence, aims to provide better clarification of the requirements of the Birds Directive relating to hunting, within the existing legal framework and case law. It is based on scientific principles and data and is faithful to the overall aims of the Directive. In particular it looks at the issue of the timing of recreational hunting under the Birds Directive, identifies the possibilities and limitations for flexibility in fixing hunting seasons and addresses the derogation issue.
The guide is supplemented by a second Commission document providing clarification and interpretation of the key concepts of Article 7(4) of the Birds Directive which deals with the period of reproduction and of pre-nuptial migration (return to the breeding areas) for huntable bird species listed on Annex II of the Directive. The need for this information arose from a Court of Justice ruling of 1994 (see ECJ Ruling 435/92) which concluded that the complete protection of huntable species must be guaranteed during these periods.
A review of the best available information on the period of prenuptial migration and reproduction of each huntable species in each Member State where that species occurs was first carried out in 2001 and approved by the ORNIS Committee. This provided a definition for both the 'period of reproduction' and 'return to the breeding areas'. The document has since been updated to integrate data from new Member States (including Croatia in 2014) and address any gaps in information. Although already comprehensive, it is clear that the data should be further reviewed and updated in the future to take into account the most recent data in all Member States and to remove some discrepancies between Member States.
The "Birds Directive" allows for certain species to be hunted, which are listed in Annex II of the Directive. Since the adoption of the Directive in 1979, regular monitoring reports from BirdLife International are indicating that certain huntable species are considered to have an unfavourable conservation status. The Commission is therefore supporting the preparation of management plans for several species listed in Annex II. These draft framework plans have been extended to EU-25 and define clear management measures. It will be the Member States who will ultimately have responsibility for implementation the plans at national level but this will be made much more feasible with the support of the key stakeholders, including FACE and BirdLife. These plans will need to be regularly monitored and updated in the light of new scientific knowledge.
The European Commission has launched a new 'EU Cormorant Platform' website as part of an EU project on the sustainable management of Cormorant Populations (Corman).
A limited number of activities normally prohibited under the Birds Directive (Articles 5-8) are permissible by way of derogations, where particular problems or situations exist or may arise. The possibilities for use of these derogations are limited. They must be justified in relation to the overall objectives of the Directive and comply with the specific conditions for derogations described in Article 9.
Member States do not need to consult the Commission before applying derogations but are obliged to report all derogations to the European Commission in annual derogation reports.

"Some funds are doing some portfolio shifting before earnings news starts coming out," said Tony Cecin, head of trading at U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.
"The second half of the year is going to be more of a market of stocks than a market of sectors," he said, adding that investors need to carefully pick their stocks because the days of riding a sector higher by just buying indiscriminately are numbered.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 23.87 to 3,956.42, and Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 5.26 to 1,480.88.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 80.61 to close at 10,727.19, led by International Paper, which rose $3 to $35.25.
At the end of regular trading, Intel was up $1 at $138.81; Microsoft fell 31 cents to $79.13.
The CNET tech index lost 25.93 to close at 2,777.30. Losers edged out winners, with 64 of the 94 stocks in the index falling, 29 rising and one remaining unchanged.
Of the 18 sectors tracked, Internet e-tailers and Internet content companies posted the sharpest drops, falling 5 percent and nearly 4 percent, respectively. Computer service providers were the day's largest gainers, climbing 1 percent.
"The Internet sector was weak again today," said Cecin. Yahoo fell $4.50 to $105.50 on a volume of 28 million shares, more than three times the stock's average.
Yahoo reported earnings of 12 cents a share, beating the First Call average of analyst estimates of 10 cents per share. That compares with earnings of 5 cents a share for the same period a year ago. The Internet portal also generated $270 million in revenue compared with the $128.5 million last year. The shares climbed to nearly $114 in after-hours trading.
"Everyone is looking at Yahoo for some conviction in the Internet sector," said Bryan Piskorowski, a market analyst at Prudential.
Optical equipment maker JDS Uniphase was the most active stock on the Nasdaq. The shares fell $5.44 to $95.69 as volume exceeded 40 million shares, more than twice the stock's average daily volume.
The stock has fallen almost 18 percent since the company announced its $41 billion merger with SDL. Piskorowski said investors fear "earnings dilution" from the deal. JDS might run into some regulatory problems, he said, and JDS has now "paid up" for the merger." SDL shares fell $2.69 to $318.
Pinnacle Systems was the percentage loss leader on the Nasdaq, falling $13.44, or 59 percent, to $9.19 on volume of 23.8 million shares, about 34 times the stock's daily average of approximately 700,000 shares.
The maker of software and equipment for video editing said it expects earnings of 6 to 8 cents a share, excluding acquisition-related and one-time charges for the four quarter ending June 30.
Wall Street predicted the company would earn 16 cents a share, the consensus estimate of five analysts surveyed by First Call. Pinnacle earned 13 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Aspect fell $23.88, or 54 percent, to $20 on volume of 20 million shares, more than 33 times the stock's average daily volume of about 612,000 shares.
Aspect, a maker of software that helps businesses manage relationships with customers, announced yesterday that it expects pro forma earnings for the second quarter of 1 to 3 cents a share, including a gain of 6 cents from the sale of some equities during the quarter.
Wall Street predicted the company would earn 8 cents a share, the consensus estimate of five analysts surveyed by First Call.
Among members of the CNET tech index, Double Click fell $3.19, or 10 percent, to $28.50 on concerns that lower spending on Internet advertisements might hurt the company's bottom line.
Shares of web portal Lycos also fell $4.88, or 10 percent, to $41.63 on similar concerns, while PeopleSoft rose $2.16, or 11 percent, to $21.72.
The Philadelphia semiconductor index fell 30.76, or nearly 3 percent, to 1,122.05, led by chip designer Rambus, which lost $10, or 10 percent, to close at $87.25.
Dell Computer chief executive Michael Dell sold 6.25 million shares of the No. 1 direct-seller of personal computers last month, raising $308.9 million. Dell shares closed up $1 at $50.75.

For the second consecutive season, Newcastle, last night, found themselves dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Nottingham Forest.
After a disappointing start to the season, the Carabao Cup was supposed to provide some kind of salvation.
But, it wasn't to be.
Despite equalizing in stoppage time. The tie slipped from our grasp courtesy of two late goals.
It was a disappointing evening and with Premier League games to come against Manchester City and Arsenal, tough times lie ahead.
Last night, at the City Ground, the fans vociferous support of Rafael Benitez continued with his name being sung by the travelling support on numerous occasions.
After the game, Rafa faced the Sky Sports cameras and had this to say:
"I don't agree that Forest were the better team and I'm not concerned by how we played.
We did not create many chances so we need to improve in attack and keep working hard.
"It's a long season, we need it was going to be hard but we have confidence in ourselves."
Indeed we do, but when you consider that the attack was the one area of the side that Rafa was able to add not one but two players, then perhaps out problems may lie with creating chances.
Last night, the service to Joselu and Muto wasn't the best as Newcastle enjoyed plenty of possession against Nottingham Forest but couldn't create those vital openings the strikers crave for.
Manchester City (a), this weekend, could prove to be an interesting experience.

Hector: May I make a suggestion? Why can they not all just tell the truth?
Irwin: It's worth trying, provided, of course, you can make it seem like you're telling the truth.
-Alan Bennett, The History Boys (83)
It seems an obvious point to say that plays are meant to be seen, not read, but we don't always have the luxury. A woman I met recently suggested that I might like the play, (but not the film) The History Boys. It took me most of the first act to get my eyes to work with my brain so that I could put the scene together in my head. I kept forgetting to READ who was speaking.
Timms: I don't see how we can understand it. Most of the stuff poetry's about hasn't happened to us yet.
Hector: But it will Timms. It will. And then you will have the antidote ready! Grief. Happiness. Even when you're dying.
We're making your deathbeds here, boys (30).
I recently read an excerpt of the book Space Between Words, by Paul Saenger and I believe it relates to my problem:
Research indicates that English-speaking subjects also have discrete systems within the brain for the aural understanding and the silent visual understanding of language (3).
The Latin word "to read," I learned at a lecture in the fall, actually has two root meanings: to read, yes, obviously, but also "to choose." Ancient languages did not separate words, so one had "to choose" one's words. According to Saenger, it was Irish and Anglo-Saxon monks who had shaky comprehension of Latin that began to add spaces. This addition is what gave our brains the ability to read silently: without mouthing or voicing the words. Silent reading makes it possible to read at theretofore unknown speed. A child learning to read, (or me trying to read Italian or French) must mouth or say the words, in fact children's initial writing usually does not have spaces as that is not how they hear it. But once we make the jump (elegantly moving over the spaces) – the literary world is our oyster. With silent reading, we no longer even read strictly right to left, or all the words contained within a sentence, for that matter.
Word separation, by altering the neurophysiological process of reading, simplified the act of reading, enabling both the Medieval and modern reader to receive silently and simultaneously the text and encoded information that facilitates both comprehension and oral performance (13).
I'm deeply indebted to the Irish monk's sub par linguistic skill. That being said, I had to get a little remedial in order to "read" something that should really be seen and heard. I was forced to slow down and hear it.
Dakin: Lecher though one is, or aspires to be, it occurs to me that the lot of women cannot be easy, who must suffer such inexpert male fumblings virtually on a daily basis.
Are we scarred for life, do you think?
Sripps: We must hope so.
Perhaps it will turn me into Proust (77).
Once my brain cooperated, the life of the play came to be. The stupidity of hypocrisy and academic hollowness, sad fumblings, defensive cynicism, and disappointed ambitions, live right alongside satisfaction in the small moments of human affection, understanding and connection. The History Boys is poignant, clever, and cautionary.
The words matter. The mental prowess displayed in The History Boys is fun, acerbic, and invigorating, but as Bennett elucidates so smartly, intellect for intellect's sake is a pyrrhic victory. The war of meaning is won in the spaces and silences.
It ought to renew…the young mind; warm, eager, trusting; instead comes…a kind of coarsening. You start to clown. Plus a fatigue that passes for philosophy but is nearer to indifference (95).

By Chaplain Mike
…the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. (James 1:20, NASB)
In my experience, it never helps.
Anger never improves a situation. Anger doesn't work. Anger always make things worse. And anger has a multitude of unwanted consequences besides. Anger does not enable us to take forward steps in our relationships. Instead, it sows seeds of fear, distrust, and animosity that take root quickly and become nigh impossible to dig out again. Anger hurts. Anger leaves marks. Anger expressed can accelerate rapidly to emotional, verbal, and sometimes physical abuse. Anger held within and allowed to simmer can lead to withdrawal, alienation, and neglect. Anger turned on oneself can spiral down into depression, self-hatred, self-destructive habits or even actual suicide.
According to Jesus, anger toward another is the emotional equivalent of murder.
You have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. (Matthew 5:21-22)
Anger is the first condition of the human heart and experience that Jesus talked about in the Sermon on the Mount. Moses, the Lawgiver whose laws Jesus speaks of in this sermon, was kept from entering the Promised Land because of unbelief that exploded in anger. In the Torah, the first sin outside the Garden that Moses wrote about was Cain's anger, which turned into the actual murder of his brother. When the Apostle Paul wrote lists of vices for the ethical formation of his congregations, anger and related faults are always listed prominently.
"…there is nothing that can be done with anger that cannot be done better without it." (Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy, 151)
One source that helps me meditate on the perils of anger is Dallas Willard's discussion of the topic in his book, The Divine Conspiracy.
When we trace wrongdoing back to its roots in the human heart, we find that in the overwhelming number of cases it involves some form of anger. Close beside anger you will find its twin brother, contempt. Jesus' understanding of them and their role in life becomes the basis of his strategy for establishing kingdom goodness. It is the elimination of anger and contempt that he presents as the first and fundamental step toward the rightness of the kingdom heart. (DC, 147)
Willard reminds us that the emotion of anger is a natural part of human life. It is a spontaneous response that arises within us when someone or something threatens us in some fashion. It alerts us to a person or obstacle that obstructs our way or our will. Anger is an alarm within that goes off, releasing energy that enables us to resist and/or fight back against the threat. It is part of our survival instinct, and in and of itself as a simple feeling, it is a normal and useful characteristic of being human.
However, in the sinful human heart, anger cannot exist without containing some element of malice—the desire to injure, harm, or punish the ones who cross us. This is one reason why anger need not be expressed to be hurtful. Even if I simply know that someone is angry with me, it causes me pain, because I sense that person is harboring some level of ill will toward me. To some extent, I am under attack, even if the angry one says or does nothing to act on her anger.
This is one reason I so regret now the times I was angry with my children. It pains me deeply to think how frightened and under attack they must have felt just to see dad's furious face, even if I didn't explode in a tirade. And if in my rage I acted out and caused a scene, it must have seemed to them like an overwhelming onslaught of malicious force. Kyrie eleison!
Dallas Willard also talks about the sinful tendency to indulge our anger. We can choose to hold on to this emotion, to become angry people, carrying "a supply of anger around" with us, ready to pull it out and wield it at any moment.
Why would anyone choose to do that? Because anger often works hand in hand with another deadly sin, Pride. In our self-righteous, self-centered hearts, we believe the universe should revolve around us, that all the breaks should go our way, that people should always agree with us, cooperate with us, coddle us. When my ego gets wounded, when my autonomy is constrained, or when my agenda gets challenged, I feel I have a right to be angry. After all, it is all about me, isn't it?
One problem with living this way, of course, is that I am only one "sun" among many, and all of us think we are the centers of our own solar systems. If I, an egocentric sinner with a sense of privilege, get mad when one of these other egocentric sinners with a sense of privilege impedes my will, what do I expect in response from them? Anger begets anger begets anger. Is it any wonder we live in such a violent world?
Willard notes that many advocate a "righteous anger" as necessary to confront and overcome injustice in our world. However, where does this lead? Consider the ever-increasing polarization of American culture over the past generation. Proponents of "red state" positions speak with (self-)righteous indignation against "blue state" position supporters, and vice versa. Since each group perceives the other as a threat, advocating against what is "right" (in our eyes), both accomplish little more than raising the ire of the opposition and the temperature in the room. It's a futile cycle.
Anger never helps. Never. I'm convinced of it.
So, Paul says it as simply as possible: "get rid of anger." (Colossians 3:8).
I know what some are going to say: wrath is a part of God's character, isn't it? If we are made in God's image, shouldn't anger be considered a natural part of our character, a quality that could be "godly" if harnessed properly? And didn't Jesus get angry? Didn't he speak and act in anger on occasion? To all of this I say, yes, OK. But I'm still convinced anger won't ever be good for you and me or the people in our lives. Some will say, but doesn't the Bible say, "Be angry, and sin not"? Doesn't that imply that we can be angry in non-sinful ways? Perhaps. All I can tell you is—I never have. I'm pretty sure I never will. Sorry, but with all due respect I feel the same way about you too.
So what do we do with this? I can assure you that what I'm NOT going to do is give you "ten steps for overcoming anger." If someone tries to sell you that curriculum, hang up on them (not in anger, of course). There is no program, no training that will do the trick. To eliminate anger would mean we would have to cease being human. And to eradicate the sinful tendencies that corrupt our anger and make it so devastating, we would have to be perfected in sanctity.
We come back to the Gospel. I need Jesus' continual forgiveness and mercy for my anger. I need the cross. I also need Jesus' victory over the powers of sin, his living presence with me, and the power of the Holy Spirit filling me each day. I need the resurrection, the ascension, and Pentecost. I need a family that loves and supports me, that forbears my faults, forgives my sins, and befriends me in spite of my weaknesses. I need the church. I need to hear and receive and be nourished by the Gospel all the time. I need the Word and the Table. I need to remember my Baptism.
In short, I need a life with Jesus. I need the life of Jesus.
Don't underestimate a deadly sin like anger. Not only does it not help, but it takes everything heaven has done and can do to overcome and eliminate it.

Luca De-Santo – False Dedication – Intec Digital
When an established label like Carl Cox's Intec releases two EP's from a relatively unknown artist in a space of six months, then you know that there is something special about their talent.
In January of 2018 Luca De-Santo dropped an EP on Intec having come from nowhere in terms of previous high profile releases, and although it was a good EP it could of easily been a flash in the pan, but his follow up suggests this is the beginning of something quite special.
Artists like Patrick Topping exploded onto the scene with a meteoric rise following early EP's on high Profile labels, and perhaps Luca will do the same in the world of techno?
The above may be an open-ended question that only time will answer, but Luca De Santo's second EP titled 'False Dedication' is an outstanding two tracker with tough grooves and captivating melodies.
Dark and uplifting, his skill of fusing contrasting moods is something that only a few can master, but done properly the output is something that always works on the dancefloor.
In particular the second track 'Roll With Me' has really caught our attention with its epic pads and looming bass sounds that boom from the bottom end. Captivating and almost storytelling, its certainly got what some might call the X Factor.
Luca De-Santo's 'False Dedication' is already available. Grab your copy here

(HALIFAX, NS) - A new dialysis unit at the Halifax Infirmary site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre is good news for patients like Carol Betts.
The unit, funded by the Department of Health and Wellness, houses 12 new dialysis stations. Eight of these replace old stations in the dialysis unit at the Dickson Building of the QEII's VG site; four are additional stations, to allow the treatment of more patients and to deal with the growing number of patients needing dialysis. To start, 48 patients per week will receive treatment in the new unit.
Betts, who uses a walker to get around outside her home, said the unit on the first floor of the Halifax Infirmary, will be more accessible to patients like her.
"I receive dialysis treatment three times a week for four hours," said Betts. "It'll be easier to get in to this space and it'll be less crowded."
Dr. Ken West, Head of Nephrology, said one of the biggest benefits of the new unit will be to patients who come to the Halifax Infirmary from across the Maritimes to have inpatient procedures such as cardiovascular or orthopedic surgery.
"Until now, inpatients at the Halifax Infirmary needing dialysis treatment had to be transported to the VG. This new unit allows for safer and more effective management of their dialysis," he said.
The new stations will be much larger and more comfortable for patients and include televisions and wifi access to help patients pass the time, which amounts to 12 hours a week for most patients.
"Patients have always received high-quality dialysis treatment from caring staff. That won't change. But this new unit is a state-of-the-art facility that's bright and inviting," said Health and Wellness Minister Leo Glavine. "I'm proud that the province has invested $3.5 million to serve more dialysis patients in this new facility."
Paula Bond, Capital Health's vice-president of Person-Centred Health, Acute Care, said, "Capital Health and the Department of Health and Wellness have worked closely together to create this new, improved space for patients undergoing dialysis. We are very proud to open this space, allowing us treat more patients and create a more positive experience of treatment."
The dialysis unit at the VG will remain open with 34 treatment stations.

Survivor of college shooting moves on, but it's been tough
ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — The past 12 months have had plenty of ups and downs, plenty of good and bad for Lacey Scroggins.
But one thing she definitely admits is that she is grateful. So is her family.
Lacey Scroggins, an 18-year-old freshman student back on Oct. 1, 2015, was one of the survivors of a shooting in a Snyder Hall classroom at Umpqua Community College.
It's been a mentally tough 12 months for the young woman who saw up close the death and destruction caused by the shooter.
Just like a year ago when she opted not to talk about the tragedy to the media, but was OK with her father, Randy Scroggins, speaking on her behalf, she again had her father give an update this week on her recovery.
"She's making immense progress," Randy Scroggins, who is pastor of the News Beginnings church in Roseburg, told The News-Review (http://bit.ly/2drf7kW ).
"Less things are triggering that day for her. She is able to look more toward the future to see how bright it can be and will be. I think she is making tremendous progress, but as a dad, I just wish it was a little faster."
Just like Lacey Scroggins, many of the victims and their families have maintained low profiles through the past year and will continue to try to stay out of the spotlight.
Scroggins said that for many months after the shooting, Lacey was immediately and negatively impacted by particular scenes on TV when someone mentioning a particular phrase or other shootings elsewhere in the world. Those events returned Lacey to that fateful day.
But the support of her large family, her faith and a change of scenery have helped her gradually move on. The Scroggins family moved to leave behind the house and room that Lacey returned to in her blood-stained clothes on Oct. 1, 2015.
Lacey also had to endure "Oh, you're that girl," on many trips out into the public when she was recognized as a survivor. Hearing that comment put her back in that classroom of death.
Lacey believes she survived the shooting because of fellow student Treven Anspach who partially covered her as he reacted to being shot. She believes that his blood that flowed onto her clothing and under her helped saved her life by giving the impression she was already dead."
The Scroggins and Anspach families have developed a strong bond and Lacey and Treven's mother, Kim, communicate frequently.
"Our whole family, every last one of us, is beholden to Treven," Randy Scroggins said. "And not just to Treven, but also to Kim and Justin Anspach who raised Treven to be the young man that he was."
One incident that helped Lacey in her recovery process was when a fellow survivor from the Snyder classroom approached her at a later meeting of families and expressed her gratitude for the medical help Lacey had given her. After the shooter had killed himself and Lacey had gotten up off the floor, she saw this other girl bleeding profusely and using her own scarf, tied a tourniquet to stop the flow.
"I think that helped in Lacey's healing process," Randy Scroggins said. "It reminded her that she had helped somebody that day."
Lacey Scroggins didn't return to UCC after the shooting and lived with her parents until deciding to return to school. She accepted a scholarship from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. ORU president, Dr. Billy Wilson, reached out to Lacey and her family.
"He heard a pastor's daughter was involved and just felt like he needed to reach out," Randy Scroggins said of Wilson.
Lacey, now 19, left for ORU in mid-August is majoring in a biology pre-med program.
After making the difficult decision to move to Tulsa for school, Randy Scroggins said his daughter made a statement that showed she was ready to move on.
"Her comment was 'I'm ready to be just Lacey again, not that girl,'" he said. "It was a very difficult decision for her because she wasn't just leaving her family, her friends, but she was also leaving her dog, her cat, her horse.
"I think it has been good for her to develop new friends in another location, friends who don't know about everything that happen here in Roseburg," he added.
Lacey returned home Friday for a short visit for a couple of reasons. Her sister, Amanda Field, had a baby Thursday who she was anxious to meet and Lacey wanted to be with her family during this time a year after the shooting. She is not planning to attend any of the UCC-related events because of what they'll trigger from a year ago.
"She's a strong, young lady," Randy Scroggins said of Lacey. "I get to talk about her future here today because she is still alive. We're forever grateful for that.
"She's our daughter, we're proud of her," he added. "She has made her mom (Lisa) and I extremely proud. We love her. It is really that simple."

Uhm... I'm not sure what question you're asking.
There are two separate lighting systems there. One is the "eyes", which are the "tap lights" -- just a push-on/push-off switch controlling a light. The other is the outlines, which appear to electroluminescent wire controlled by some form of blinker or color-organ circuit.
How do I turn tap lights into blinking led lights? Answered
Please help! I found a Youtube video of a deadmau5 head with led lights from rave gloves moded to regular tap lights. Only the user who made the head doesn't tell you how he did it. Does anyone know how it's done? Thanks for you help. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I809lwRceb4?
Uhm... I'm not sure what question you're asking.
there are blinking lights inside the tap lights which he turns on by reaching into the helmet and pressing a switch. sshuggi's suggestion has made me realized that it's not as complicated as i thought.
I have a pretty decent idea of how it could be done. If you want to make it, you would need to know a bit about circuitry. Do the words opamps and 555 timers mean anything to you? Because, I'm feeling that's how it's done.
I have little to no experience with circuits. But I really want to learn. This is what the user said about the lights.
"I took the LED lights out of a cheap pair of rave gloves and fed them through the back of the tap light eyes, while leaving the on/off button on the outside back of them so I can reach in and turn them on by hand"
However he doesn't go into to detail about how that's done, and that's where the devil lies. If you're a complete dummy about wiring and circuitry, like me, you won't know where to begin.
Ahh, he really didn't "make" anything new. He just got some other product with flashing lights and adapted them to the helmet. To answer your question about the tap lights. You only need to do a quick rewiring. I attached a picture of the basic outline of how it's done. All you would have to do is frost the inside of the tap light with a quick spurt of white spray paint, rewire the lights with the tap light switch, and then put the LED's inside the light.
wow, thanks so much! i'm gonna try this out soon as my LED lights come in.
No problem, if your lights and stuff aren't as simple as I made them out to be, you can just send me a message and we can work it out.
I can't watch your link, but I'm guessing it's almost as simple as LED throwies, but modified so that the circuit only completes when weight is applied.

The Cat Lady (known as Selina Kryles when not running around stealing things) is an infamous enemy of Fatman. She sometimes helps Fatman during his work, but then her concussion wears off, and she continues attacking him
The Cat Lady was born in the crime ridden Possum City. She was raised by herself because she ran away. She ran away because one of her parents was a Cat creature. That is why she is obsessed with cats. She grew up (it's about time), and started thievery to be able to pay her Bills. She decided that wasn't "cool" enough, so she became the Cat Lady.
During several burglary attempts, she was met by Fatman, but he was too fat to keep up with her.
She is a skilled athlete, as she can actually move, despite her elderly-ness kicking in at twenty. She is heavily trained in the use of a whip, but when she is bored, she'll pull out her "shotcat" and blows off heads.

Patients of the Half Penny Steps Health Centre have a right to express their preference for a General Practitioner, and the Practice will endeavour to oblige where reasonable.
Please see our Patient Brochure on page 8 to book your self in with the most appropriate clinician. It is designed to assist patients as not all illness have to be seen by a GP.
Appointments to see the doctor or nurse can be made by telephone, or by visiting the surgery, between 8am and 6.30pm, or by booking online (please ask for details). Please do try to book appointments in advance to avoid disappointment.
NOTE: Urgent cases and ill children can be seen on the same day provided a phone call to the surgery is made as soon as possible in order to arrange a convenient time. You may be asked to give some idea of the problem, so that we are able to plan accordingly. This information is confidential. Patients without an appointment may be asked to wait longer until the doctor can find time to see them, as appointments are heavily booked from beforehand.
Please do not simply walk in, without a pre-booked appointment, during the morning or afternoon sessions, as you will not be seen and will be asked to return on another day.
Here at Half Penny Steps we also offer pre-bookable appointments at St Charles Hospital Extended Hours Hub to see a GP. This is part of a Extended Hours Service commissioned by us and other West London practices.
The appointments can only be booked via the practice and are with a GP.
Appointments are available:
Monday to Friday: 6pm - 9pm
Saturday: 8am - 8pm
Sunday: 6pm - 9pm
We would highly recommend the use of these appointments especially after the end of the Walk-In service. They are highly under utilized and are always available.
These appointments are only available for patients registered to a West London Practice and can only be booked via the practice.
It is the responsibility of the patient to ensure that they arrive on time for their appointment. If you are unable to attend an appointment for any reason, please do let us know as soon as possible as your appointment slot can be allocated to someone else. Missed appointments are very unfair on the surgery & other patients. Patients who arrive 10 minutes late for their appointments will not be seen & will have to re-book the appointment.
Note: Every appointment that you miss without informing us in sufficient time will be noted in your record. Patients, who DO NOT ATTEND their appointments on three occasions or more in the year, will be removed from the surgery.
To speak to a GP, a Telephone Consultation appointment would need to be booked. Please call to book.
We are aware of cultural differences. Some of our staff and doctors are multi-lingual. For patients who have difficulties with speaking English they can ask at the reception to book a translator for their appointment. This is a free service.
If possible please try to telephone reception before 11:00 if you require a home visit.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
It is mandatory for the patient to call the surgery and speak to a clinician regarding their test results after a period of 7 working days from when the test was taken and not before. If you require the results of any test taken, please ring the surgery and book a telephone consultation or a normal appointment.
At this time it will be possible for a clinician to discuss the results with you. You may be asked to make a further appointment with the doctor or nurse.

New Lt Governor's Cadets sworn in
On Wednesday this week (13 September 2017) His Excellency presented specially commissioned medals to five young islanders at Government House, in a ceremony to mark their appointment as Lieutenant-Governor's Cadets for 2017-18.
All five recipients are members of local uniformed youth organisations. The first to receive her medal was Lydia Batchelor, a Grammar School & Sixth Form Centre student and Leading Cadet with St John Ambulance, who represented Guernsey in the 2016 National First Aid Finals. She was followed by fellow Sixth Form Centre student Elise Bott, who is a Young leader in the Guides attached to the 8th St Matthews Brownies.
The first of two Elizabeth College students to receive their medals was Petty Officer Ben Brown, a member of the school's CCF who attended a Royal Navy Cadet Leadership Course this summer, in Dartmouth. He was followed by Sergeant Rory Johnson of the CCF Army Section, who coaches shooting and teaches drill. The final recipient was Corporal Amy Woodland of 201 Overseas (Guernsey) Squadron, Air Training Corps, who is also the first female cadet to become a member of the Elizabeth College CCF.
The new cohort of Lieutenant-Governor's cadets will be the first also to serve as members of The Youth Commission for Guernsey and Alderney's Youth Forum. The Forum is a group of young people from across the Bailiwick that represents the views of their peers and issues important to young people in the Island. The decision to admit them to the Bailiwick's representative body for young people was taken by current members at a meeting of the Forum.
The ceremony was watched by the cadets' families, together with the Bailiff, the President of the Committee for Education, Sport and Culture, and the CEO of the Youth Commission for Guernsey and Alderney.

Small Polished Brass Balloon Chandelier
Small polished brass balloon chandelier. A tent of delicate swags made from crystal buttons and glass coffin lid drops forms the central body of the chandelier. Beneath the outer ring more crystal button and coffin lid swags drape to form the lower balloon. The chandelier frame is made from pressed lacquered polished brass and has a single lamp which is concealed and illuminates the main body of the light. The chandelier comes supplied with braided flex, chain, a ceiling rose and a chandelier hook plate. Chandelier requires a B22 lamp.
This chandelier has been fully restored and rewired here, in Stockport, near Manchester by our small team of professionals and is ready to be installed. We recommend that this chandelier is installed by an electrician into a joist or a supporting noggin. To clean the chandelier dust the brass regularly with a soft cloth. The glass drops can then be wiped with a glass cleaner wipe or a cloth that has been sprayed with glass cleaner. A final wipe with a paper towel will give a polished finish.
