Changing the Paradigm: Women, National Liberation and Revolution in the 21st Century
Photo Credit: Wikipedia
I was in the middle of reading Meredith Tax's exceptional book, A Road Unforeseen: Women Fight the Islamic State (Bellevue Literary Press, 2016), when the Istanbul terrorist bombing took place. As is so typical of the U.S. media, the level of analysis was superficial. We were given the horrific details but beyond that there was little background as to what might have unfolded on that terrible day. Some mention was made of the Kurds and then Daesh (the so-called Islamic State). The most recent report I have seen is that the suicide bombers may have been Chechens.
Yet it was Tax's book that actually put the bombings in a much larger context, one that looks at the historic oppression of the Kurdish people, the role of the current administration in Turkey in covertly encouraging—if not supporting—Daesh, and the struggle over the future of the Middle East. What makes this work unique is the manner in which it looks at these issues from the standpoint of women. Tax examines the struggles in that region through central attention to the link between national oppression, patriarchy and evolving global capitalism, and in this context, illuminates the complexities of the moment.
Tax has been an outspoken leftist in critiquing the manner in which many on the left have either fallen prey to knee-jerk anti-imperialism, i.e., if the United States is involved in a situation a) it must be the central player; and b) anyone opposing it must be a positive force, or post-modern visions of the world that permit cultural relativism particularly when it comes to women. For Tax, both of these approaches—which are often linked—are disastrous not only for women but for progressive forces. In that sense, A Road Unforeseen represents an effort to challenge, if not put to bed, a decrepit paradigm that is leading progressive forces into an ideological and political cul de sac.
Though Tax starts by introducing the reader to the struggles in northern Syria led by the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) against Daesh, she quickly turns her attention to providing the reader with background on the regional Kurdish struggle. The Kurds, a predominantly Muslim population found in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, are frequently described as the world's largest nation without a state. Irrespective of whether that is factually accurate, what is clear is that the Kurds have faced ethnic/national oppression at the hands of each of the states in which they find themselves. Though the Kurdish struggle in Turkey is perhaps the most known, Kurdish emancipatory movements have emerged in other locales, generally crushed by the dominant regime.
What brought the current incarnation of the Kurdish movement to Tax's attention was the unique role women were playing in the struggle in northern Syria in the region known as "Rojava." Bits and pieces of this story made their way into leftist and mainstream media over the last few years as military units of Kurdish women (and their allies) engaged the Daesh, regularly defeating the latter. This stood in contrast to the near total collapse of the Iraqi military in the face of the Daesh offensive next door. Thus, the question that emerged was, who was behind these units and what was this struggle really about?
Tax gives the reader a look at the 20th-century struggle of the Kurds for freedom, a struggle that found the Kurds frequently played off by either one imperial power against another, or on a regional basis, one nation against another. U.S. readers may be most familiar with the situation that unfolded in Iraq when, in the 1991 war, President George H. W. Bush called upon the Kurds—in northern Iraq—and the Shiites—in southern Iraq—to revolt against Saddam Hussein, only to abandon them when the goals of the U.S.-led coalition were satisfied. The Kurds (and Shiites) suffered terribly, some of which was eased through the introduction of the no-fly zone, prohibiting Hussein's planes and helicopters from attacking those regions.
Yet, in many respects, the heart of the Kurdish struggle is to be found in Turkey where the Kurds account for approximately 20% of the population and have suffered vicious oppression at the hands of various Turkish governments as those governments attempt to dissolve the Kurdish people into a larger Turkish mass. In Turkey arose the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which was ultimately declared to be a terrorist organization by the Turkish government and by the U.S. Tax presents the PKK, however, as far more complicated.
The link between the PKK and the struggle in northern Syria against Daesh becomes much clearer later in the book, but Tax's examination of the plight of the Kurds in Turkey is not only informative but heart-wrenching. Turkish governments have repeatedly acted to suppress each and every example of Kurdish strivings for public recognition, including but not limited to the ability to speak their own language. Every political act by Kurdish movements, when it is perceived by the Turkish government to be threatening, is condemned as terrorist, leading to jailings, killings and other forms of persecution.
It is worth noting here that the rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan and its specific repression of the Kurdish people represents a continuity in oppression rather than a qualitative shift. The dominant discourse, since the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the secular Kemalist state (named after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the "father" of modern Turkey) has been that there exists only one people in Turkey. Whether during periods of so-called democratic rule or military juntas, this discourse has prevailed and with it the oppression of the Kurdish people.
The AKP has represented a break with the secularist Kemalist forces and a move in the direction of what some people describe as "moderate Islamism." This Islamism is much aligned with that of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. The Erdogan regime has had objectives of moving Turkey in the direction of an Islamist state, ending secularism and entrenching a socially conservative authoritarian regime in power. This has included significant repression of popular democratic forces including but not limited to the Kurdish movement.
The hatred of the Kurdish forces by the Turkish regimes, including but not limited to the AKP, can be illustrated by their tolerance of Daesh—at least until very recently—contrasted with their antipathy toward the Kurdish movement. The AKP regime has been prepared to cut off supplies to besieged Kurdish areas in Syria that have been threatened by Daesh. They have, additionally, been prepared to turn a blind eye toward Daesh forces in transit through Turkey. At the same time, the AKP regime has carried out severe repression against the Kurds, labeling most acts of protest—whether peaceful or not—as terrorist. Martial law has been used and Kurdish political parties have been repeatedly rendered illegal. Thus, portraying the AKP as "moderate Islamists" is taken as a sick joke not only by the Kurdish movement, but by pro-democracy and pro-women activists in Turkey who have experienced the horrors associated with the regime.
The PKK, on the other hand, rose as a fairly typical left-wing national liberation organization in the 1980s, though possessing certain unique features, e.g., not following any of the socialist or so-called socialist states. It chose military action against the Turkish state, concluding that there was no other path. The story of its ups and downs, as well as the role of the iconic and all-present PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan was striking in that Tax makes no effort to gloss over crimes committed by the PKK or the equally troubling tendency, within the PKK towards the deification of Ocalan. Instead, this reads as a critical analysis of a movement that has undergone dramatic transitions, including in its understanding of women and patriarchy.
The heart of the book is actually about patriarchy/male supremacy and the redefinition of liberation For Tax, the revolutionary trend within the Kurdish movement represents an anti-fascist and anti-misogynist force in the region. The link between the anti-fascism and anti-misogynism is key. Tax examines the rise of religio-fascist movements like Al Qaeda and Daesh and sees in them not a revivalist movement but a demonic, barbaric force which seeks to create a neo-fascist "paradise" in the Muslim World. Central to this mission is the renewed oppression of women, including but not limited to overthrowing all of the gains that had been won by progressive and revolutionary forces in the Muslim world during the 20th century.
The religio-fascists may use the rhetoric of a return to the seventh century, but the seventh century that they reference never existed. Instead, this is a movement which gained great support from both Saudi Arabia and the U.S. during the Cold War as an effort to both counter the then Soviet Union but also to crush the broader Left and progressive nationalist movements in the region. The base of this movement, however, are men, and specifically men who have been cast aside by a changing (neo-liberal) global economy. These alienated men see no future for themselves but rather they see a future in a mythical past. Al Qaeda and Daesh offer that and contained within that future is a barbaric oppression of women.
The PYD-led struggle in northern Syria is part and parcel of this anti-fascist/anti-misogynist effort. It is a struggle that Tax identifies as having arisen, to a great degree, out of the evolution of the PKK (in Turkey) whereby the struggle came to be understood as far broader than on the military plane and, most importantly, that the struggle of women for freedom was moved to the center of the theory and practice of the movement, and away from its periphery/afterthought.
In discussing conflict in Syria I was initially concerned Tax was going to walk around the question of the Assad regime. While Tax explains the vibrant anti-fascism of the PYD in its struggle with Daesh, I would argue that the greatest source of terror in Syria has been the Assad regime, though in no way am I suggesting that Daesh is in any respect progressive. Rather, the Assad regime has been brutally repressive and there are sufficient facts now commonly understood that demonstrate that it was Assad's lethal repression of peaceful protests in 2011 that sparked the militarization of the conflict.
As the story unfolds it becomes clear that Tax does not walk away from a critique of Assad. She holds him responsible for the horror that has unfolded, though she does identify the internationalization of the conflict, particularly the introduction/intervention of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In fact, she gives important note to the manner in which Assad cooperated with Al Qaeda, in originally providing them safe transit into Iraq, only to later jail and then free their (now Daesh) militants when the Syrian conflict became militarized (an act that she correctly identifies as having been aimed at trying to make the conflict appear to be sectarian and, at base, a war against terrorism). A weakness in her portrayal of the conflict, however, is little attention to the destructive role of both Russia and Iran, key allies of the Assad regime.
In writing this review I have resisted the impulse to retell the entire story. This has been difficult because not only is the book excellent, but the story is compelling. Yet it is the analysis that situates what is otherwise described as a struggle against terrorism or a struggle for national freedom as a more complicated struggle for the emancipation of women, and thereby the emancipation of society, that gripped me as a reader and activist.
Tax closes her book with cautionary notes. Among other things, as an experienced leftist, she has all too often witnessed the romanticizing of various struggles and the blurring of reality. There are countless examples where leftists from the global North have seen only one side of a struggle and drawn overly simplistic conclusions. Khmer Rouge-led Kampuchea/Cambodia was a dramatic and tragic example of this. In the case of women, there have been many progressive and revolutionary movements in which women have taken leadership only to be thrown backward into traditional roles upon the "success" of the movement. Thus, Tax is fully aware that the future is not written but is the result of the struggles and ideas which we elaborate in the present. Indeed, the future is very much related to how we understand the past. In that regard, A Road Unforeseen leaves the reader with both a sense of optimism for the possibilities of a truly radical road, while at the same time a soberness as to the many real dangers that await anyone traveling toward the "undiscovered country."

Rules for Marking Nonmeandered Waters Finalized
South Dakota Ag Connection - 11/09/2017
The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) Commission finalized a set of standards for landowners to follow when marking nonmeandered water over private property.
House Bill 1001 requires the department to establish specific standards for markers used to indicate closure of nonmeandered waters to recreational use. The Commission passed the following rules:
- Nonmeandered water closures shall be marked with buoys or department-supplied signs.
- Signs and buoys must be placed no further apart than 660 feet.
- Signs and buoys shall be installed so they are conspicuous.
- Buoys shall be of polyform design.
- Buoys shall be red with contrasting 3 inch minimum letters stating: "Closed."
- Buoy size shall be a diameter of not less than 14.5 inches and a length of not less than 19.5 inches.
- Signs and buoys are to be installed, removed and maintained by the owner or their designee of the private property.
- Property corner boundaries located in the water must be marked by signs or buoys.
Any landowner who wishes to close the water overlying their flooded land on a nonmeandered water body must mark the water as closed to recreational use and notify the Department within a reasonable time of doing so. Any landowner who wishes to restrict access on a Section 8 nonmeandered lake must petition the GFP Commission to request such closure.

Bonjour ladies! How are you all?
Just a quick one today, this is a NOTD from two weeks ago. Another of the Kiko polishes…..
This is the polish I was a bit underwhelmed with at first sight but wearing it is a totally different story! It compliments my skin tone, something that I am not that bothered about but my, when something goes it really pops! I can safely say that I do not have another blue like this in my collection and I am a sucker for them!
This was three coats, though I could have probably managed with two. I always paint thin coats as I smudge my nails so easily but it does mean more coats than the average bear, especially on my right hand.
I got 3 days wear out of this, it did chip the day after I painted them but I was cleaning out my car and it's a miracle that I didn't lost a limb at the least. Not a broken nail in sight either, praise be to OPI Nail Envy!
I've harped on about this nail varnish enough for one day. If you are in Italy or someone you know is, everything I have from Kiko has been good. The formula of this polish was better than the other two, maybe as this is a shimmer? I don't know but the other two weren't bad either. Definitely worth checking out if you have the opportunity.
Are you a lover of blue polish? Or a strictly lady like pink wearer? Let me know, I'm curious!

A member of the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria at Williamstown has died during a prestigious annual event held in gusty conditions on Port Phillip Bay.
Crew members from other yachts scrambled to save Max Peters, after he fell overboard in rough seas and strong winds on Sunday.
Sandringham Yacht Club had been hosting the four-race Association Cup interclub event.
Mr Peters, aged in his 70s and from Donvale, fell from his Adams 10 class yacht Top Gun during the first race.
The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria and Sandringham Yacht Club released a joint statement on Monday.
They said it was understood Top Gun broached while sailing downwind, which led to Mr Peters falling overboard.
"Our sincere appreciation goes to all the people who assisted with the rescue effort," the statement said.
"At this time our thoughts are foremost for Max who was known as a true gentleman of our sport.
"Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, crew and friends."
Sailing journalist Peter Campbell said on mysailing.com.au seas were rough on the bay, up to 2.5 metres and winds were gusting well over 30 knots when the accident occurred.
A yacht broaches when it suddenly heads into the wind, and its rudder is unable to compensate for the move. This can lead to the yacht tipping.
Several sailing events in the bay were called off on Sunday after the Bureau of Meteorology issued a strong wind warning.
But the Association Cup's first race went ahead at 11am after the bureau downgraded its overnight gale warning, Mr Campbell said.
Under yacht-racing rules, the event would not have gone ahead had the gale warning remained in force, he said.
The skipper of another yacht told Mr Campbell they were surprised the committee started racing in the conditions.
"Overall, the wind had eased somewhat but there were some big gusts coming through and there were still big waves," the skipper told mysailing.com.au.
The Association Cup is an inter-Club event that is run on an annual basis.
Eighteen yacht from three clubs were competing in the event, in the waters between
Brighton and Sandringham.
Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

A plan to turn the ageing Greenwich passenger ferries into a floating Parliament moored in the Thames has been submitted to MPs.
A London firm of architects claims "HMS Parliament" is a low-cost solution to the problem of where to put members and peers when the Palace of Westminster has to shut down for essential repairs.
The three Woolwich ferries — launched in 1963 and due to be replaced soon — would be stripped down into floating pontoons capable of carrying full-sized debating chambers for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The concept was the brainchild of marine engineer Tim Beckett who realised that the existing chambers would almost exactly fit on the huge decks of the ferries.
Architect Studio Octopi and structural engineer Expedition worked up the plans and calculated the costs.
Architect Chris Romer-Lee said: "The ferries have been serving London for 53 years but are due to be decommissioned this year.
"Recent surveys show that while their diesel engines are worn out the hulls are in excellent condition.
"And because they are already in public ownership, the costs of HMS Parliament would be much lower than alternative proposals."
Backers estimate the bill for the Houseboat of Commons to be £55 million. For that, MPs would get two full-sized chambers, committee rooms, a central lobby, voting lobbies and stunning views of the Thames through bullet-proof glass windows. Current plans to demolish the Department of Health and build a permanent "spare" Commons chamber would cost about £1 billion more. A previous floating chamber, involving a glass-roofed raft, would have cost more than twice as much as the ferry scheme at £160 million.
The plans have been shown to the Port of London Authority and to a group of MPs including former shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant.
However, MPs seem reluctant to leave the historic palace, which is crumbling around them, and have repeatedly put off making a decision on when to move out.

Fr. James A. Cullen, SJ, founder of the Pioneers
Francis Phillips, the Catholic Herald UK blogger, is considering joining the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of the Sacred Heart. The "Pioneers" were founded in Ireland (not surprisingly) by a Jesuit (also not surprisingly, considering their once-fervent devotion to the Sacred Heart), and its members pledge to abstain from intoxicating drinks for the remainder of their lives. That's quite a pledge, but it's made for a holy and noble purpose: to make reparation for the sins of drinkers and for the conversion of those addicted to alcohol. My Irish-born grandfather was a member. Here is the Pioneer's prayer:
"For thy greater Glory and consolation, O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, for Thy sake, to give good example, to practice self-denial, to make reparation to Thee for the sins of intemperance and for the conversion of excessive drinkers, I will abstain for life from all intoxicating drinks, Amen".

It was clear that the shores of Loch Lomond was the place to be this weekend, every time I opened my phone up there was more chat and photos from Fusion members racing there this weekend, it was great to see. Some of them have kindly spent the time writing up their thoughts on their respective races and have shared them with us. Thank you all, enjoy……
Provisional results are here
Andrew Grant (Standard)
So I did Loch Loman today. I was previously too scared to enter the standard as I thought the loch would be too cold at this time of year. However, armed with hat, gloves and booties, it was surprisingly warm and a really lovely swim. The booties also helped protect my poor feet during the fairly long run from loch to T1.
The 1st part of the cycle was pretty tough, very hilly. There was a long, beastly hill at the start of the return route but then it smoothed out a bit, and that road was a joy to ride (old Glen fruin road). I think that after 3 years trying, I'm finally getting the hang of the bike!
The run was almost completely flat, a there and back along the river. Pretty nice, and helped by seeing lots of other Fusioneers crossing paths on the way out and back. Great support too, all in all a fun day out.
Emma Lamont (Standard)
I raced Loch Loman Standard yesterday and it was good day out with a big representation from the club. Very cold swim followed by cold and wet bike followed by a fun run with lots of support from all the Fusioneers en route. Well done to everyone that raced and also thanks to all of the supporters that came out to encourage us all!
Gerry McConvile (Standard)
My brief race report: – Good, warm enjoyable swim. – Got lost on the bike (2km detour) – Few cramps on the run but pushed on through and finished 17th ! Exact same position as last year. Great event and would recommend to all. Happy with my result considering training has been very sporadic.
Ally Anderson (Standard)
10th at Loch Lowman Standard distance. Both cycle and run completed wearing socks !!
Chris O'Neil (Standard)
First race of the season for me. Loads of Fusion athletes racing in all three distances made for a great atmosphere pre and post-race and some good craic and encouragement all the way round the course too.
The pre-race chat was all about whether the water would be warm enough to allow swimming without gloves hat and boots. Anything below 12 degrees and they would be compulsory. Having never swam with these things I thought I'd better give it a shot beforehand. Nothing new on race day! A quick test swim at Pinkston confirmed that swimming with gloves and boots would cost me three minutes over the 1500m. Ouch. Luckily the temperature reached the required 12 degrees and while we were strongly advised to wear them we could swim without if we chose to. It's a long way to transition from swim exit and not going to be kind to bare feet. Bit of a conundrum there. No worries, just leave a pair of trainers at the beach to run up in. Sorted. Kind of.
Having missed the briefing while queuing for the loo for a last minute w/kg boost I found the Fusion team by the waterside and asked about the swim course. Bit of confusion going on somewhere but the swims instructions had been given and understood by all as middle distance; – two laps of a triangle, standard distance; two laps of a square (the triangle plus another buoy). Something not right there we think. As we watched the middle distance athletes from the shore they started moving the first buoy while some athletes were still swimming towards it. We are all thinking oh dear this isn't looking good at all, who knows what distance we will end up swimming. As it turns out some of the middle distance folks reported swimming up to 3kms. Ooft. We were re-briefed by Allan the race organiser before entering the water and to his credit we swam what felt very close to the prescribed 1500m. Allan has also now offered all middle distance athletes discounted (half price I think) entry in to all of next years series races too which is a great touch and more than many other organisers wold have done.
Finally, we get in to the water, it's cold but not too cold. A few minutes acclimatising then it's lining up on the start line waiting for countdown to begin and the nerves are going mental, preparing for the usual chaos of the mass start, jostling for position, trying to stay calm and collected as people swim over you, clatter with wayward hands, trying not to get kicked in the face and then to find a way back through the crowd as it inevitably slows down after the first 50 metres or so. It was nothing like that. I looked around, Richard TB, Ally Anderson, Emma Lamont, myself and a handful of others I didn't quite recognise spread across the start line with almost everybody else seeming to be wanting to start a few metres back. We set off, I kept waiting for the washing machine but it never happened. In the first few metres I tucked in behind one of the best kicks in the business and kick and managed to follow the bubbles all the way round the course and back in to the beach. No bumping no pushing and the first turn buoy being so far away that the field were fully strung out before we got to it. Quite possibly the nicest and easiest triathlon swim ever. Thanks Emma :-). It didn't even feel cold once we got moving.
Back on to the beach and realise that hands are a bit numb, it's going to be quite hard to put trainers on so decide to run barefoot up to transition. Mistake. The face says it all I think. Plus side of the long run though was that by the time transition was reached the hands were warm again and made for a quick transition. Feet are sore but glad I don't have to prize size 5 booties off my feet!
On to the bike. Yaaas. The best bit. Nervous about the flying mount as haven't practised it since last year. No bother. Feet in and cruising up to the roundabout. Bottom of the hill up to the A82, change down gear for the climb. Nothing. Try again. Change down a gear for the climb. Still nothing. Sh1t. What's wrong? Doesn't matter, keep going. Halfway up the hill it's not getting better and realise it's not going to be possible to ride the whole way single speed. Stop. Decide that somehow I must have drained the battery of my fancy new gears despite being fully charged the night before. Nothing for it but to head back to transition pack up and go home. Devastated. Get to transition, hand my timing chip in, hang up the bike, walk of shame to the changing tent. After some extra swearing kicking of my bag and some soul searching I think, hang on go and check the bike properly to see if it's anything that can be fixed. Sure enough, a simple disconnected cable. Plug it back in, now have working gears. Yes. Collect timing chip and let's ride…
Glad I did now. What a brilliant bike course. Great road surfaces, fast flats and super fast descents that weren't too technical. Long ascents great for a bit of banter on the way up, top scenery and a bit of Techno at the top of Glen Fruin. What more could you ask for? Spent the first ten minutes of the bike cursing myself for the lost time but after that managed to smile and enjoy it as I slowly made my way back up the field. Only one athlete came past me which was a strange feeling, that was Alan Holmes who came past at the speed of light and disappeared in to the distance. Had a chat with another Fusioneer on the way up Glen Fruin, who told me he had taken a bit of a wrong turn and lost some time as well. I think I spotted a post from another one of our athletes that ended up running a considerable way with his bike too. "Never, ever give up". I like that manta.
Through transition and on to the run. Love the run course, nice and flat and the straight out and back gives a great view of the field ahead as you make your way to the turn and a chance to cheer on the Fusion folks ahead, great to see Emma Lamont as first female and Ally Anderson high up the field not far behind. Then after the turn spotting a couple of fast looking people making their way towards you adds a bit of needed encouragement to the tired and cramping legs. Seeing the results posted not long after getting home and spotting the brilliant performances from Fusion athletes in all three races rounded of a brilliant day out. Thanks Alan Anderson and thanks team Fusion.
Clare Blue (Sprint)
So, a week after my first pool-based sprint event I found myself on the shores of Loch Lomond at an ungodly hour for a Sunday morning ready for my first open water sprint. After numerous communications from the race organisers about how cold the water was this time of year and how full body cover would likely be essential I was slightly concerned I was out of my depth entering an open water triathlon. However, I dipped my feet into Loch Lomond and did a few Pro Endurance Pinkston sessions in the weeks leading up to the event to help me prepare and on race day I was feeling brave so went to the race start without gloves. It soon became apparent that almost all participants were wearing gloves so I decided I wasn't so brave and headed back to the transition area (300m away from the swim start/end) to get my gloves. This was 5 minutes before the scheduled start time for the sprint event but we had been informed that all race starts were delayed by at least 20 minutes. Thinking I had plenty time I also took the opportunity to go for a last minute toilet break, not realising quite how long this takes when you have to get back in/out the wetsuit / trisuit combo. When I arrived back towards the start line I could no longer see the huddle of yellow and blue swim caps that marked the sprint participants and instead saw a group of swimmers well on their way out to the first buoy. In a moment of total panic I thought I had missed my race start and that I would have to jump in the Loch to start the swim 100m behind everyone else (I already had the fear of being last for the swim). Luckily, as I started running down the beach to the Loch ready to jump in and start swimming I noticed that the blue and yellow caps had moved round the corner for the Sprint race briefing and those in the water were actually the Standard participants who had just set off. Following this initial panic the rest of the race was thankfully uneventful.
The water temperature felt a lot colder than I would have liked when I first got in but once the swim was underway it didn't feel cold at all and I really enjoyed the open water swimming. It took the entire 300m run from the Loch shore to T1 to try and get my gloves off and my upper body out the wetsuit (maybe that's why this section is so long?!). I didn't take my snickers bar into the transition area this time and I left the hybrid at home and ventured out on the road bike, just as the rain started.
A good part of the cycle route was along the A82 which lacked the stunning scenery of Bute and some of the other road users were a bit impatient and less forgiving to cyclists. The sun also stayed hidden and the last few miles were wetter than the swim so my toes were numb and tingling by the time I got off the bike.
The run was a relatively flat out and back route with the last 20 meters up a slight incline that felt like a Munro but this then gave way to a tiny downhill over the finish line. The support at the swim start/end and transitions / finish was great and provided a good boost. For those considering open water events I would say go for it. I loved being out in the open water, it wasn't as cold as I expected and there's the added benefit that you don't need to count lengths…
David Crosby (Sprint)
The swim course felt long as the times even for the fishlike juniors were not as rapid as might be expected. The water height is low so may be playing havoc with way points. The run between the swim and transition is a good 350m and with neoprene socks was sore on the odd stone.
The cycle route is very fast but traffic held us up as we went off a bit later than expected.
The run was good and on a very quiet flat route.
Great day really as there were loads of Fusion folk there which made it really good fun. Fusion did really well too proving that the club is a great place to learn the craft of triathlon. Credit to Crawford who has been instrumental in getting my times down across the board. Managed 6th overall and 3rd Senior.

I've been sitting on this PDF for a while now. Consider it my New Year's gift to the ConTrail!

OMG Jackpot!!! Ding ding ding!!!
Couple this with the Hillary Email and the PPF delegates getting out of town just before it happened, and it leaves little room for doubt.
People have been convicted on less evidence than this.
Convicted and tried by whom though? Same people in charge of that old shenanigan. Gotta hope for the day truth finally hits that level of the system...the big kahuna meltdown.
This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing Martin. Having quickly read this research paper my 'lay man's' summary of this research paper is as follows; All earthquakes have a link with a disturbance of the local ionosphere. For most earthquakes this ionospheric disturbance is caused through natural causes related to the sun. However for some earthquakes, they are linked to a different type of ionospheric disturbance which these researchers are unable to explain. The list of earthquakes with this unexplained ionospheric disturbance includes the Christchurch earthquake. I wouldn't mind betting that the Haiti earthquake shows the same ionosperic disturbance. And the same FEMA officials just happened to be on site at both quakes, and of course there are the strong links of the Clinton Foundation in Haiti. I would love to see the ionosphere chart for Haiti and compare it to Christchurch.
Good summary Peter, and confirms what we've suspected for a long time.
We used to have access to HAARP's magnetometer charts and they showed some VERY interesting correlations. No wonder they closed off access and hacked my old Quake blog at Uncensored!
From http://www.amazon.com/Chemtrails-HAARP.../dp/1936239930:
On February 22, 2011, a M6.3 earthquake destroyed Christchurch, New Zealand (185 dead). VKS space intelligence blamed Project Wormwood at the joint Australian-U.S. Planetary Defense Base at Learmonth Solar Observatory on the North West Cape of Western Australia. Given that HAARP earthquake creation seems to follow a pump and dump pattern—a pumping action of, say, M4.5, which is then steered to the target some time later for a larger thrust—the Christchurch quake was on point: on February 21, the Northern Territory experienced a M4.7, then a full day later, the M6.3 hit.
If Christchurch was a target error for Tasman Glacier in the Southern Alps region 120 miles away, then how are we to read the fact that a visiting American Congressional delegation just happened to be in Christchurch only to fly out 2-1/2 hours before the M6.3 hit, conveniently leaving behind FEMA deputy administrator Timothy W. Manning to coordinate the American response to the disaster they knew was coming? (General P.K. Keen, deputy commander of the U.S. Southern Command, had been similarly pre-positioned in Haiti for the 2010 devastation. ) Four hundred physicians just happened to be attending a urology conference at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Christchurch; they said they "felt like a wrecking ball was being smashed into the side of the building" as water poured up from the shaking ground. And the 116 soldiers from the Singapore Army who just happened to be in Christchurch for a training exercise and were therefore available to cordon off the city after the quake? Coincidence? From the same EU Times article:
. . . just like Haiti was the catastrophic victim of a US "earthquake weapon" due to a previously unknown fault line, so was New Zealand, and as we can read, in part, as further confirmed by London's Independent News Service, "The devastating earthquake that tore through Christchurch on Tuesday is the product of a new fault line in the Earth's crust that seismologists were previously unaware of." [Emphasis added.]
Was opening up a new fault line the objective of the earthquake? In Chapter 4, we looked at connections between Big Oil, fault lines, and hydrocarbons as per the Gulf of Mexico and New Madrid Seismic Zone. Is something similar going on off the coast of New Zealand? Geo-terrorism researcher Jeff Phillips thinks so. In fact, he feels that Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is HAARP's primary beneficiary. The company's portfolio of assets encompasses premier positions in the Rocky Mountains region, the southern United States and the Appalachian Basin. The company also is a premier deepwater producer in the Gulf of Mexico, and has production in Alaska, Algeria and Ghana with additional exploration opportunities in West Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa, Colombia, Guyana, New Zealand and China.
Anadarko's board of directors is interesting: CEO James Hackett, a director of Halliburton, member of Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg; Luke Corbett, director of Kerr-McGee (owned by Anadarko); Peter Geren, former Secretary of both Army and Air Force; Paula Reynolds, director of BAE Systems Advanced Technologies that built HAARP's phase 2 upgrade (completed in 2006) and owns the patent (US 7218571) for a magnetically driven underwater pulse generator; and General Kevin Chilton, former NASA astronaut and head of U.S. Space Command after his command at STRATCOM.
Most convincing, however, is that Anadarko's man, U.S. Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX), was in New Zealand Prime Minister John Key's office when the Christchurch quake occurred; four hours later, Anadarko had its permit for offshore exploration, for which it will use its ultra-deepwater drillship.
Whereas Italy sentenced six seismologists and a FEMA-like official to six years in prison for manslaughter after reassuring the public that the M6.3 earthquake that struck L'Aquila on 6 April 2009 would not happen, in Christchurch, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act (CERA) was passed and the Minister for Earthquake Recovery issued a Notice of Intention to Take Land:
. . . negotiations for voluntary acquisition may run until the end of December [2011]. If agreement has not been reached by then, CERA's Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) intends to take the land under compulsory acquisition [for public works].
Claims for compensation are always possible but uncertain at best. Headlines like "Poverty 'rampant' in quake-hit Christchurch" are to be expected, while corporations like Anadarko reap fortunes from the devastation.
Project Seal, a joint U.S.-New Zealand test carried out around New Caledonia and Auckland during World War Two, may have been looking for new fault lines: 3,700 bombs were exploded in New Caledonia and later at Whangaparaoa Peninsula near Auckland, which created a 33-foot tsunami capable of inundating a small city. This segues to three major 2011-2012 quakes and one tsunami in Japan that inundated the entire planet with radiation.
Excellent explanation Elana, spot on. To further amplify; they use HAARP to walk the pressure zone in toward their intended target along the fault line from both sides by triggering smaller quakes that loosen up the fault line and raise the pressure of the opposing sides of the fault line in the target zone in order to raise the magnitude of the quake when they do the final triggering. A further fingerprint is that HAARP Quakes tend to have their epicenter's at a depth of 10km.
PS: Get a load of the attack that was thrown at my system while I was writing you this!
"Welcome to my world..."
Thanks for publishing that excerpt here Elana. Really breaks it down for us.
Wow. Excellent Martin. Wonder how long that will remain on the gov site once this is out.

Lords of the Fallen developer Deck 13 has shared some brand new details on the upcoming action-RPG, The Surge.
The game's world is inspired by the worst-case scenario for today's problems! It is basically set in a dystopian future where robotics and mega-corporations work together in order to preserve Earth's fragile climate:
According to The Surge Creative Director Jan Klose; the game boasts tactical close-quarter combat with characters equipped with a mix of cybernetics, bone, flesh, and gadgetry who will slice and dice to upgrades:
The player's progression is strongly bound to his most important asset: The Exo Suit he is wearing. This rig allows him to move with more agility and perform stronger moves, but you can also attach armor parts and weapons to it and improve its power level, and manipulate it in a variety of ways.
Furthermore, the game will have a steep difficulty with huge elements of risk and reward. Players will need to analyze their enemies, find weak spots, and carefully calculate each option to bring down adversaries. As for the difference between The Surge and Lords of the Fallen:
The difference to Lords of the Fallen is that we take more time introducing the different features for the player at the beginning of the game. Not in a lengthy tutorial, but as you are advance in the game, the features that will help you overcome your enemies will come one by one so that you can grasp the whole toolset of possibilities and not miss on some of them just because they were introduced poorly.
Originally announced around Gamescom 2015, The Surge remains without any gameplay footage and a release date.

Im aiming to look like a Victorias Secret model...realistic, yes?
All I wanna do is tone up a bit, not lose weight, but I want a toned, glowing body (and face). This means a wayyyy better diet, and wayyyy more exercise, conidering I eat mostly jnk food and dont exercise at all at the minute! I decided this whilst waiting for my food at McDonalds Drive Thru earlier today, that this would be my last McDonalds before Ibiza. A step in the right direction at least.
Im not going to force myself into a complete diet and exercise overhaul all at once, becuase Ill never stil to it. For now Im gunna focus on food, mainly eating less junk, no takeaways! Eating more fresh fruit etc, and cutting out fizzy pop, drinking more water and green tea instead. Thats for the glowy skin!
Ill let you guys know how I get on and progress if you like? Maybe once a week or every few weeks...let me know if its something you'd like to read. If anyone has any little food tips or anything that might help me Id love it if you left it in the comments :)

A STORM which tore the sides of sheds and blacked out thousands of homes in the mid north is on its way to Adelaide.
The storm front which heralds the end of several days of high temperatures, has been making its way across the state from the west.
Earlier on Tuesday evening the storm front moved across the Eyre Peninsula flooding several houses and bursting through the rood of one home in Port Pirie.
Several thousand homes near Port Augusta were blacked out during the storm activity with almost a thousand homes near Quorn still without power.
Power is expected to be returned to those properties late Tuesday evening.
Severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued for large swathes of the north of the state as a cool change provides relief from soaring temperatures.
A cool change moving in from the west will drop the temperature by more than 10 degrees after a day where the mercury hit the mid-30C mark.
Heavy rainfall, which may produce flash flooding, combined with damaging wind gusts is expected to hit the Eastern Eyre Peninsula and parts of West Coast, Flinders, North West Pastoral and North East Pastoral districts on Tuesday evening.
The cool change and rainfall follows a day of extreme fire danger with a bushfire in Riverland causing thousands of dollars damage to a rural farming property.
The fire, reported just before 11am, was at Sunlands near Waikerie and was close to Hill, Norman, Jock and Todd roads.
The blaze was about 500 square metres in size and burnt a shed and a tractor.
Another fire was reported at Eden Valley in the Barossa Ranges.
The grass fire started about 11.30am, and up to 19 CFS crews were on site.
Severe bushfire conditions were declared across six South Australian districts as temperatures soared into the mid to high 30s.
Earlier today a bushfire was burning at Wandearah East, north of Kadina in the Mid North and threatening public safety. But the CFS says the threat has now reduced.
Tuesday's severe conditions follow similar high temperatures across SA on Monday which sparked at two significant fires.
About $500,000 damage was caused when fire destroyed 30 hectares of a lentil crop at Mallala, north of Adelaide.
Around the same time a blaze near Mt Pleasant, in the Adelaide Hills, burnt through about 40 hectares of grassland.
The Bureau of Meteorology said Adelaide could expect a top temperature of 35C on Tuesday ahead of the late change, which would bring possible thunderstorms and some rain.
Milder conditions are forecast for Wednesday with a top of 22C in Adelaide along with further showers.

Trout Spey Jig and Switch Rod Tips for Streamer FishingDecember 17, 2014
We had some darn good "off season" fishing yesterday. It would have been easy to stay indoors but we braved the elements and hit the river. The river was getting lonely with few anglers this week so we figured the trout were equally lonely, probably hungry, and most likely willing to snap at our flies.
The snow turned to rain mid morning and it was a wet one. It is critical if you want to enjoy fishing in cold wet weather that you get the right gear, it wasn't coincidental that both guests in the boat, AND the guide all had the same jacket on. We also didn't see another angler all day! We love to fish despite conditions, so we all had the Simms G4 Pro Jacket. We've all been fly fishing hard for 15+ years and we all agreed, that we wouldn't have been out in that soggy cold weather if we didn't know for sure that our clothing would keep us dry and warm. We would have stayed inside, probably not consciously but when you got the right gear you also have the right confidence to hit the water snow, blow, or rain. Plus fly fishing is a lot more fun when you are dry, it is really tough to have fun, laugh, and keep morale high when you are damp and cold.
Since the weather was dark, wet, and nasty we figured streamers would be effective. The boys hadn't fished the "trout spey" game yet so I grabbed a couple of setups off the demo rack at Red's.
- RIO 7' 7.0 ips Sinking Polyleader
- RIO 7' 5.6 (5 ips) Sinking Polyleader (as far as I can tell the 5 and the 5.6 ips are the same leader just labeled differently depending on how they were packaged.

To inaugurate the first year that first-time filers can file electronically, the Department of Revenue launched a webpage that helps young people organize their tax documents, answer frequently asked questions, and invites them to file electronically. The webpage answers questions such as: if I am a resident of Missouri, but earned a paycheck in Illinois, do I have to file an Illinois tax return. In addition to having information for first-time filers, the webpage has a Q&A section aimed at undergraduate students, 80 percent of whom are working through college according to a 2006 American Council on Education study. To visit the site go to tax.illinois.gov and click on "First-Time Filers".
By filing electronically and direct depositing their refund, taxpayers can get their Illinois refund in a week and their federal refund in 10 days. Last year more than 2.7 million taxpayers took advantage of filing their IL-1040 electronically, a 7 percent increase over 2006. In addition to making the filing process faster and more convenient for taxpayers, the E-filing option provides a significant cost savings to the state. In 2007, IDOR saved more than $3.7 million in tax processing costs.
"I encourage our students to take advantage of E-Filing their tax returns," said C. Renée Romano, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. "E-Filing is more efficient for both the students and the Department of Revenue, so it's a win-win. And refunds can be received much more quickly; I know students are interested in getting their refunds as soon as possible."
"It's great to hear that I will be able to file my taxes electronically because our generation is doing everything online. Filing online fits into the way we are doing things and filing taxes will be much less daunting online," said Eujin Kwak, a junior at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign majoring in Accounting.

Pat Hendrix
Pat Hendrix, 70, a resident of Cleveland, passed away on Dec. 3, 2017.
She had many hobbies, including metal detecting and collecting artifacts, and more recently was very active into genealogy.
She was an instrumental member in the Meigs County Museum and Historical Society. But more than anything, she loved her family. She will dearly missed by all that knew her, and her memory will be cherished forever.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William Theodore Lewis and Dorothy McNabb Layman; grandson, Stephen Lewis Whitmire; and daughter, Samantha Renee Whitmire.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her loving husband of 51 years, Byron Hendrix; son, Sammy Whitmire; grandsons, Alex Jordan Whitmire and Tyler Whitmire; granddaughter, Amy Whitmire; great-granddaughter, Laynee SaRae Whitmire; sisters, Joyce Nastvogle and Phyllis Roundtree; a sister-in-law who was like a sister, Brenda Russell; and numerous extended family and friends.
A Celebration of Life service is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2017, at 6 p.m. at Companion Funeral Home, 2419 Georgetown Road N.W.
The family will receive friends two hours prior, from 4 to the 6 p.m. service time at the funeral home.
Below is an email that Ms. Paulette Jones, director of the Meigs County Museum and Historical Society, sent out after Ms. Pat's passing:
"It is with much sadness that I report the death of our dear Historical Society member and special friend Pat Hendrix. ... She was an asset to our Society and did most of the research for the many inquiries we received. She never charged for her time and just asked that people make a donation to the Historical Society. [For] many years these donations sustained us. She never missed a meeting and was always so sweet and thoughtful to each of us. Our prayers and thoughts go to her husband, Byron, and granddaughter, Laynee, and the rest of the family.
Pat and Byron had visited my home yesterday afternoon while out roaming around her beloved Meigs County, which she was so devoted to.
I and the rest will miss her greatly.
Share a personal memory or your condolences with Pat's family at her online memorial located at www.companionfunerals.com.

How To Get A Good ACT Score (writing portion only)
My first time taking the ACT I was a sophomore in highschool, and its been three years since then and I believe whole heartedly I was a smarter person at that time because of four classes:
1. Latin 2 (Honors)
2. Classical and Medieval History (Gordon College Professor who is super awesome)
3. Classical Literature and Writing (Honors, taught by an ordained bishop, who also consequently is the smartest person I have ever met)
4. Geometry (With my mother who is an Engineer and it rocked)
These foundations are classical Greek and Roman foundations of education (plus add some philosophy and cultural anthropology for unbiased analysis reasons) and this is what I call the perfect lessons to prepare you to write a three page essay in under thirty minutes with organized ideas AND quotes from the literature/historical manuscripts that should be burned into your brain forever.
According to the the syllabus of my Classical Lit and History courses, I now can have a conversation with a student who has a masters in Classics or Literature very well.
I used a quote from Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola (Renaissance, Italian scholar and philosopher) for my essay on the ACT that I tied in to the importance of learning and intellectuality. (…this post is so entirely opposite from my last blog post my goodness.) This quote talked about the different parts of humanity and what they make a person appear like.
"When man came into life, the father endowed him with all kinds of seeds and with the germs of every way of life. Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow and bear fruits in him. If these are vegetative, he will be like a plant; if they are sensual, he will become like the beasts; of they are rational he will become like a heavenly creature; if intellectual, he will be an angel and a song of God…. " (The Oration on the Dignity of Man 1486)
So, to the ACT essay graders, I think I looked pretty damn hot 😉
Along with using quotes and being able to accurately tie them into the random subject you were given, you need to have a good idea of how you like to start your essays, or how to get yourself into a good writing mindset.
I usually try to use the page they give you to plan out your essay to write the first paragraph in. It gives you some idea of how you want to format the lay out, but not the entire thing, more the sound and rhythm of your essay. Colloquial or very formal, your essay should reflect how well you can store knowledge and apply it correctly and nicely to anything they throw at you. And they will throw you some strange questions that seem pretty stupid at first glance.
I've taken standardized tests for 3 years with essays tacked on them and it gets old really fast. Also, if you are taking a CLEP exam, remember to CITE the information they give you properly, it's not just there for you to stare at contemplatively.
Another thing, use AWESOME vocabulary and use it in a tasteful way,
not like:
"Swivel chairs are too ridiculous for rambunctious kids who let their glee overwhelm them, tenaciousness can often upset pedantic teachers." (This sentence is gross but do you understand how silly it sounds to have this many unusual vocabulary words in one sentence?)
You should use them like THIS:
"Good adjectives and adverbs should be used ubiquitously." (This is a fair example because colloquial and gray words like "good" are not very useful descriptors(adjectives); they are subjective to someone's biased point of view of "good", but words such as "unseemly" (with other descriptions of WHY it is unseemly) is an approved adjective.)
If by any chance you are able to use a semicolon properly in a paragraph you will probably get good points. The quote I just used above is a good example of semicolons.
" Colons (:) are used in sentences to introduce that something follows like a quotation, example or a list. Semicolons (;) are used to join two independent clauses, to separate main clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb or to separate items in a list that already uses commas. "(Your Dictionary.com)
And some examples:
"With educated people, I suppose, punctuation is a matter of rule; with me it is a matter of feeling. But I must say I have a great respect for the semi-colon; it's a useful little chap."
(Abraham Lincoln)
"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
(Mark Twain)
I also HIGHLY recommend keeping a journal entry maybe not once a day, but at least twice a week to keep your mind flowing easily in writing; even if it is total nonsensical babble about school and drama it will help.

Sample of My Novel
A young man, about 16 living in the suburbs of Union, New Jersey in the spring of 1969. His father's a veteran from the great war, his mom appearing to be nothing but a pious Catholic house wife, and his friends an entirely uncharted world of pirates and seafaring adventures. In reality, he's just another sophomore in highschool who is crushing on his next door neighbor, Annette, and journaling about his foibles.
Chapter 3.
I jumped out of my window onto what I thought was the soft grass, my knees cracked as I bent them, landing with a thud. I shook it off and walked around the line of bushes between her house and mine. She didn't attack me in school today.
I looked around the bushes to her yard.
"Shh you'll wake my ma!" I said and I started walking around the bush crouched down so my head couldn't be seen.
"Oh shush," Roozbeh said while he and Luke popped their heads from out of the trash barrels.
"You stink," I said.
Luke wore a bandana over his nose and mouth. "Affirmative," he saluted lazily.
"Cap'm, I spy ye a fair maiden, yonder window, twelve o'clock!" Roozbeh whispered.
We stood at attention, I huddled near the bushes behind the barrels.
"It's Annette!" I said without whispering.
"Get down dammit!" Roozbeh pushed on my head.
She looked both ways out her window, then she look down. A rope ladder swung out from the bottom of the window and her head disappeared.
"She coming down!" Luke said.
"Cap'm! Retreat!" Roozbeh gestured with official battle hand warning to get out of the barrels.
Her legs popped out the window and timidly took the rungs. Then her full body. She was wearing overalls.
Roozbeh and Luke gave up on me and ran to my yard but I stood very still. This was it.
"Annette!" I said.
She jolted, the rungs of the rope ladder thudding against the house loudly.
"Agh, no." I pulled on my hair and scratched.
She set eyes on me and run off the ladder, slapping me across the face. "Damnit James Madison, do you have any idea what a light sleeper my Pa is? Do you? And what the hell are you doing in my yard?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just – I just- I was out ya know – and then I saw you- so I waited. Why are you wearing-"
She put her warm hand over my mouth. "Shush, come this way."
Annette lead me by the hand to her back yard which lay at the edge of the woods in the corner adjacent to my yard. A small gap where her fence of bushes thinned and the boards in my wooden fence were rotted off highlighted a little door between our yards I had never known about before.
"In here," she said and slid into the shack.
She pulled me with her and we stood in the dark cramped space. I bumped my calf against her dad's ride on tractor and it scraped the skin under my trousers.
She turned a camping light on and closed the shutters.
"Hi," Annette said, she leaned up against the workbench and crossed her arms.
"Hi," I said, and dug my hands into my pockets.
"Why were you looking at my window?" she said.
"Why were you climbing out of your window?"
"Because I like going out at night to—to be out," she huffed.
"Because!" I got a scowl from her. "Now answer my question."
"I was with Roozbeh and Luke, and they were hiding in your trash barrels waiting for me." Oh sweet Jesus, that sounded horrible.
"Roozbeh Badie and Luke Winger were hiding in my trash barrels? What the hell were they doing?"
"Well we play this sort of game where Luke's the captain and—"
"You were playing a game in my trash barrels? You have got to be…." She let out a sigh. "Whatever, keep going." She pushed some loose hair away from her face. "Uh, you're staring," she said eyebrows raised.
"Oh, yeah, sorry, um spaced out. So Luke's the captain, Roozbeh is Chief mate and I'm Third mate. And we were on a mission, I think, can't remember why."
"What's Third mate?" Annette asked and looked at her dads tractor between us.
"It's the guy that does the navigation stuff on a boat," I said. "He's the one that gets to drive the ship and command people where to pull the rigging when he has to do a maneuver in the water."
"Oh right, cool."
"Actually, I'm pretty sure we have to complete our mission, you wanna come?" Jesus Christ she is gonna think I'm like a fifth grader. I can't believe-
"Sure," she said and started around the tractor towards me.
"Oh. Okay," I turned and we bumped into each other trying to get out of the shack.
"Sorry!" I said as I accidently pushed her into the other door, rattling it.
"Ouch, you jerk." She pushed my shoulder and I hit the other door and tumbled outside. I got up and brushed myself off.
"I really am-"
"Shut up, now where's your ship?"
I straightened and soluted without thinking. "Aye aye, this way."
She looked at me sideways and shook her head, but followed me.
We walked across the street and through the neighbor's yard over to the other street parallel to ours, entering into Luke's back yard. His tree house had a small light coming out of it.
"Up there," I said and pointed to the ladder.
She started climbing. After she went about 4 rungs up, I started to climb behind her.
"A hoy!" Luke said out one of the windows. He gasped. "You brought her!"
"It's bad luck to have a woman on board!" Roozbeh popped out of the opposite window.
"Too bad," she said "I'm already up." She brushed off her overalls and went through the door into the small house. I went in behind her.
She sat on the bench in the corner and I took my chair around the stool we used as a table.
"Now gentlemen… and lady, this is a trust test." Luke had a paper napkin sticking out of his left nostril. "I'm going to light this, and the first one to blow it out before the fire catches my nose will be the new captain!"
Roozbeh and I sat on the edges of our seats but Annette burst into laughter on her bench. "You have got to be kidding me. You are gonna burn your face off!" she said.
"Not if Roozbeh and Jmad do their part!"
"What if they don't?" she said.
"They will, one of them will," he adjusted the paper napkin in his nose.
"What if I do it?"
"You're a girl! You can't be captain," Luke said. "Only men can be captain."
"We'll see." She sat back, and waited. "You gonna light it or am I gonna have to?"
"I got it, I got it." Luke flicked the lighter, but his hand shook. He flicked the lighter on the napkin, it caught fast and started burning. "I'm not finking out, promise."
I sat still, waiting to grab it. Did I want to be captain? Third mate isn't exactly a powerful position on a boat, but a third mate who has mutinied is a dangerous person on a ship.
"Grab it! Someone!" Luke was sweating, and clenching his fists.
Roozbeh lunged, but I took my chance too and both of us butted heads and toppled over the stool between us.
Luke shrieked and Annette pulled out the flamey napkin and stomped on it. "There, I'm captain, now go get some ice and vaseline Luke. You're all show and no go," she said and went for the door.
"You can't be captain!!" Luke wailed and cradled his burnt nose.
"Beat feet sucker!" Roozbeh yelled. He looked back at Luke and saw through his fingers at the burn. "Damn that napkin really laid a patch on you man."
"Stop your lip flapping and go ape on that girl!" Luke yelled.
"Sorry man, but I ain't wasting my time on that paper shaker," Roozbeh said.
I looked at the ashes on the floor. "I'll find her."
I climbed down the ladder and saw her run through the woods. I ran after her and easily caught up."Hey, stop!" I said. She didn't.
"I'm not on the hook for this one, Jmad, now go home."
"I am going, we both have to go this way."
She slowed down then, breathing heavily. I steadied myself to her speed and we walked in silence till we were in front of our houses.
"I'll see you at school," I said.
She looked at me in a way my sister would when she thought I did something stupid. "Goodnight James Madison."
"Goodnight Annette Parker."
