Reasons for Designation
Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round barrow, are funerary monuments
dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most
examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as
earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple
burials. They occur either in isolation or grouped as cemeteries and often
acted as a focus for burials in later periods. Often superficially similar,
although differing widely in size, they exhibit regional variations in form
and a diversity of burial practices. There are over 10,000 surviving bowl
barrows recorded nationally (many more have already been destroyed), occurring
across most of lowland Britain. Often occupying prominent locations, they are
a major historic element in the modern landscape and their considerable
variation of form and longevity as a monument type provide important
information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisations amongst early
prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period
and a substantial proportion of surviving examples are considered worthy of
Despite some mutilation of the monument and limited antiquarian investigation of the mound's centre, the bowl barrow 80m north-west of Oldwood survives reasonably well. This investigation located human remains and artefacts of flint and iron, and further evidence of interments and grave goods will exist within the mound and upon the old landsurface.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a bowl barrow located on Toot Hill 80m north-west of
Oldwood. It survives as a slightly mutilated oval earthen mound up to 1.3m
high with maximum dimensions of 9m by 6.5m. Limited antiquarian investigation
at the centre of the mound located charcoal, bones, flint artefacts and
fragments of an iron mould.
MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract. It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features, considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.

Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood by William J. Mann
Mary Ann says: "A true account that starts with movie director William Desmond Taylor shot to death. The rest of the book tells stories of the actors and producers involved with Taylor in the early (around 1920) movie industry. They led very wild, sometimes scandalous, sometimes tragic lives. Who fired the fatal shot?
Includes quite interesting accounts of the production and distribution of the earliest silent movies."

Well, as such any good plan is just there to be messed up. As was ours, but in the end in a good way. We came home that day having bought our new trailer. We found a nice deal on a model that was to be moved out quickly as the new years model was already available. Nice enough that it kind of helped answer the question of should we buy used to save some $ or push up to a new model. Anyway, we ended up with a StarCraft Launch 24RLS (Link goes to the 2017 model, but the units are close enough for anyone interested in looking.
Anyway we got it home and made plans to get out for our first trip which we did to Starvation over the weekend of July 9th. Was a bit warm, and we lacked the generators sufficient to run the AC, but it was a nice weekend. Kids were ecstatic to have a trailer and to be able to camp out more often more easily. We too fishing gear and float tubes with us. Shore fishing was a zero for success, but we did get out Saturday morning for a short run on the tubes. Alex on his and I was on mine... Max was desperate to go out too so I first tried to put him on my lap, but the tube didn't sit right in the water with the weight that far imbalanced. So I put away my usual cooler that rides behind me and put him back behind my seat in the triangle there. My Outcast Prowler has a fully inflated seat base that also extends into that triangle area and this worked very well for Max. He essentially lounged with his feat over the side back there and fished off my right shoulder. Before we headed back in as the afternoon wind started to pick up Max had pulled in a ~16" small mouth bass and a foot long walleye. Both were first catches for him for those species. Alex and I also managed to hook up with a small mouth each. Alex's jumped the line at his tube and mine turned out to be a hard fighting 6" that got sent back to grow some. Rest of that trip went nicely and set the stage for us to plan our next adventure in the new trailer.
So this weekend we headed up Wednesday afternoon toward the Daniels Summit area trying to camp near the Adamson area between point of pine and mudrock. We got there without any issue, though pulling through the ditch showed that I probably need to adjust the hitch to ride an inch or 2 higher up. We found the herder camps in full force in the usual areas including the unattended (at least while we were there looking for a camp spot) trailers with dogs chained up. Since we had brought Diego and Hazel with us (they both lack social etiquette in how they interact with other dogs) we opted to not camp near these areas and headed up main canyon to look for a spot there. We found a spot a bit over 1/2 way up the road and took it kind of worried that we would not find another higher up. In hind sight we could have found a spot or two higher that might have been as nice if not nicer, but this was still a nice spot with a fantastic view.
The obvious issue with main canyon is the traffic on it from ATVs. We were off the road enough that dust wasn't a huge issue and the noise wasn't bad either. The trees near the trailer offered some fun places for the kids to adventure and fort build in. Temps were nicer then the previous trip to Starvation so the AC not being usable still didn't turn out to be that big of a deal. Where we camped did prove to have some nice options for going on some walks/hikes. So we were able to wear the dogs out quite well taking them with us. They got to have a meet and greet with the local cattle. Apparently their manners were not up to the cattle's level and the cattle left... in a bit of a rush...;) Hazel I think thought it might be her off putting body odder so she even tried rolling in a nice fresh cow pie to be less off putting... That didn't help with the cattle and only resulted in another hike down to the stream to bath her... Anyway we had some nice hikes, kids got to do the kid fort/imagination thing, spent time playing games together, roasted foods on the fire with roasting sticks, saw some nice stars at night and aspired to do it again in the end.

Arashi's 1st single for 2015 to be the theme song for 'Ouroboros' starring Ikuta Toma and Oguri Shun
The single will be used as the theme song for upcoming TBS drama "Ouroboros ~Kono Ai koso, Seigi" starring Ikuta Toma and Oguri Shun which will begin airing on January 16 (every Friday at 10:00 pm). This marks the first time for Arashi to participate in a drama just for the theme song.

"Ouroboros" is a live-action drama adaptation of Kanzaki Yuya's manga, and it marks the first time in 8 years for Ikuta and Oguri to co-star with each other since Fuji TV's 2007 drama "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~Ikemen♂Paradise~". It tells the story of a detective and Yakuza member who team up to reveal the truth behind a murder that they witnessed in the past.
On the 11th, the drama's preview event was held, and both Ikuta and Oguri made an appearance. Ikuta who is said to be good friends with Arashi, talked about the theme song, saying, "As the theme of this drama is 'feel for others', I am glad that my old friends participated in it by providing a song. They gave us a strong boost. Thank you Arashi!"
Oguri also commented, "It's a great support. I've had many opportunities to be part of works that Arashi sings its theme songs, compared to other actors. Maybe, I'm also an Arashi member?"

GP practices in North Lincolnshire are taking part in a new risk profiling process to identify patients who are most at risk of their condition making them more seriously ill in the future. The process will allow GPs and other healthcare professionals to make sure these patients receive extra care and support services to hopefully prevent their condition from causing greater problems later in life and potentially needing to attend hospital as an emergency.
Patients are identified using anonymised medical data from their records and all patients are automatically enrolled in the process unless they have expressed to their GP practice that they wish to opt out.
Dr Nick Stewart, GP and CCG Clinical Lead for Long Term Conditions explains why risk profiling will benefit patients: 'We are constantly striving to improve the care we provide to our patients and want to do all we can to ensure that they are helped to live long and healthy lives. By pro-actively identifying patients who might benefit from some extra support sooner than later, we can work with them to prevent any condition from causing more serious problems in the future'
Risk profiling is carried out on behalf of GP practices by a third party company called 'Health Intelligence'. They are not able to identify individual patients from the data they use as all personal information (name, address etc) is removed. Your GP practice controls all your data and therefore only they can see your identifiable medical information. Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential.
If, however, you do not agree to your medical records being used, please speak to your GP or practice receptionist and they will remove your data from this process.
Is risk profiling anything to do with Care.Data?
You may have heard about Care.Data in the media. We want to reassure you that this process is not connected to Care.Data.
Can I see the information you will be providing to Health Intelligence?
Yes. Under the Data Protection Act 1988 you can find out what information is held about you. If you want to see your medical records you can make a written request to the NHS organisations where you are being or have been treated. You have the right to look at your personal data and object to it being used for this purpose if you wish to.

This week's piece is one that I've seen performed in concert. No matter how much I enjoy listening to recordings, there's something about a live performance that brings up one's enjoyment of the music to another level. I heard this piece performed by going on an outing sponsored by my university for first-year students.
Anyway, enough about that. Here's a bit about the music.
- The composer, Sergei Rachmaninov (his last name is sometimes spelled Rachmaninoff), wrote this concerto in 1909 when he was still living in Russia. (He later fled the country due to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.) It's considered one of the most technically challenging piano concertos in standard repertoire.
- Rachmaninov himself premiered the concerto in the United States in November of 1909. He couldn't practice it before leaving Russia, which meant that he didn't really get to practice it much at all before performing it.
- One odd thing I've always noticed about the recordings is Rachmaninov's 1939 recording is at a noticeably faster tempo than recordings by people who aren't the composer. I don't know if there's a reason for this or not, as I'm not a pianist and don't have the strong connection with piano music that I do with violin music.
Since it's by a Russian composer, I couldn't help but pick a video with a Russian playing the solo part. 😉
Or click here to watch on YouTube.
If you want to hear Rachmaninov's own recording, click here. It's audio-only and the quality isn't that great since it's old.

Why People Switch To Lumia
The guys at Nokia Connects have recently conducted a Twitter survey to see why people switch their phones to Nokia Lumia.
We recently asked the twitter community why they switched to Lumia and the response was overwhelming! We put together an infographic (see attached) based on the feedback and as you can see, it gave us some pretty interesting results
Here's the infographic.
Based on this, we can see that 25% of them switched to Lumia because the love the Nokia brand, 20.8% for the unique design and 20.5% for the software.
They have also personally interviewed 2 Lumia users, Drew in Toronto and Chris in Glasgow to find out their reasons.

Just like Janus Island in yesterdays blog, the town of Partageuse in ML Stedman's novel "The Light between Oceans" is fictitious. It's nearest equivalent in real life is the town of Augusta, about 8km from Cape Leeuwin in the southwest of Western Australia. You can find a lighthouse in Augusta – in the stained glass window of Lumen Christi (Light of Christ) church.

Where is Janus Island?
If you have read "The Light Between Oceans" by ML Stedman, you might be wondering where Janus Island is located. The island with its lighthouse is actually fictional. But you get a good idea of what it is like by looking at Cape Leeuwin in the southwest of Western Australia, where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean. Just imagine that long, thin cape being moved 100 miles out to sea, and that's Janus Island.
Where Oceans Meet
The lighthouse in yesterday's mural reminded us that we are currently reading – and enjoying – the novel "The Light Between Oceans" by ML Stedman. It's set on a lighthouse between the Indian and Southern Oceans. You can actually look out along this imaginary line between the oceans at Cape Leeuwin in the southwest of Western Australia.

Wild about Wildflowers
We were in Kings Park botanic gardens in Perth recently and found heaps of wildflowers in bloom. These ones are known as Everlastings, since the papery little flowers last for a long time.

I've blogged incessantly about my lack of friends, why and how I came to have a lack of friends and what (if anything) I can do about it. For a period of time, that's pretty much all I blogged about. I really thought I was in a better place mentally and emotionally because I didn't feel the need to blog incessantly about it.
I was wrong.
I still think about my Mom a lot. I try to think of her as she was when I was younger and not as she was in her last years, but I can't help but think of her life as sort of a collective body of work with a very unhappy finale. I've also insisted that I don't want to end up like her, but I'm starting to think that I have little control over the situation.
I always assumed that my mother was a solitary person who didn't mind spending time alone. I never paid attention to whether or not she made any attempt to change her situation. I do remember that she was very good friends with my sister in law's mother. When my Dad was alive, the four of them were very social together going to dinner, movies, concerts, etc... When my Dad died, Sue was her rock. When my sister in law's father retired, however, that's when things got dicey. He was very possessive of his wife, and her personality was not one that lent itself to .... shall we say... independent action... We found out a few years later that he had Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, the damage to their friendship was done. I knew my mother was sad about it, but I now believe that she was probably devastated.
The bottom line is that I really have no idea if she tried to cultivate new friendships as she progressed through her middle age years and beyond. Besides making me question my worth as a daughter, this leaves me with all sorts of questions. I am really like her? Did she have friends when she was in her 20's that she gave up on? Did she, like me, try to turn her work associates into personal friends only to have her hopes dashed? She bowled with friends and relatives well into her 50s. Did she think that they would become close friends? Was she upset when she stopped bowling and the friends drifted away out of her life?
The simple fact is that I am petrified of spending the last years of my life alone. I have always thought that my mother was alone most of the time because she was crabby and disagreeable.... but just maybe she was crabby and disagreeable because she was alone. A vicious cycle. Which again causes me to question my worth as a daughter. Would her mood have improved if I had forced myself to spend more time with her? I'll never know.
Yes, we have the power to shape our destinies.... to a point.
I'm married to a man who prefers his old antique car to me a lot of the time. He thinks that spending time at home is a waste of time, I guess. I don't know. He doesn't realize that his presence is the important thing - not that we have to be engaged in conversation or activity together every minute he's home. What is that saying about two people who are just able to be in each other's presence without the need for words?
I am miles ahead of where I was 10 years ago, in that at least I do have one important friend. She is 20 years older than me. We're an interesting and unexpected pair. Sometimes I get the feeling that people don't know what to make of us. We don't talk about the age difference very often anymore. I think that when people connect on a mental, emotional and spiritual level, chronological age is rendered irrelevant. I love this woman. She has made me a better person in more ways than I can count. We are good for each other in all sorts of ways. But I can't deny that I find myself thinking about what I will do without her someday. The thought of this makes me want to cry and- in fact, I have done just that. I don't like reminders of her age, but they are there and for me to ignore them or disrespect them is unkind and unfair. If I'm to be any kind of friend, I must respect them and be considerate of them and of her. I've gone through periods of flat-out denial, and other times I've attempted to bridge the gap by pointing out the signs of my own advancing age. I guess my behavior has been sort of stupid at times. And really, who knows what the future holds? I really am getting to the age where people my age are passing away from untimely deaths-all the time, it seems like. What if I'm next?
Right now I am 51 years old and already feeling alone. Which makes my problem worse than my mother's problem at this age. I'm on the fast track, comparatively speaking. What to do? As I've said before, one doesn't just impose oneself on other people and expect positive results. I can't force people to invite me to things. I can't force my husband to stay home. He'd probably be miserable - at which point I'd end up telling him to go away. This aloneness makes me irrational. Another vicious cycle. Who wants to hang around with an irrational, clingy and needy person?
Maybe it would be best to accept my fate. I may become the crazy cat lady who carries on conversations with herself. And the cats. At least they won't argue with me.....much.

If anyone has any news on any Catholic Church closures anywhere in the world, pictures and suggested links please feel free to e-mail.

Looking for advise. I have owned and operated a architectural casework and millwork shop since 1981. We have had a long run at it and it has served me well for many years. I would like to get out of the business and possibly try my hands at something else ( no idea what ). My son, that i have been grooming for the last 7 years decided he didn't want to take over and has since moved on to other fields. We have a small crew of 8, all great and talented guys. Our 10k shop is a complete CNC operation and has no debt,over 600k invested. In a perfect world i would like someone to buy me out, come in and take over, i could work with them for as long as it took for the transition. Value would be based on current equipment appraisal. Second option would be a sale of the equipment and assets at auction. we have about 500k on the books ready for production and more is coming in. My question is, Does anyone have any advise or ideas for me to make this happen.
How is your company set up? Sole proprietor? How critical are you to the company? Asking because if you are so critical to the company that it can't function without you, you are the company. The biggest financial aspect of the company is then you, and your machinery has the least value. Used machinery at auction will knock your socks off with the low prices it will bring.
I can speak to this as someone who bought an existing company - a little smaller than yours but very similar otherwise. Finding someone who could come in and buy you out turnkey I think is a rare find. They would have to have the right skill set, money, and be at some weird place in their career where there exists an incentive to take a major risk in dropping whatever they are doing and buying your company.
If I were in your position, I would explore finding another similar shop nearby with an owner who is younger and looking to expand. Maybe a shop that is a little smaller than you are and missing some of the equipment that you currently have. They could buy you out and transition their existing client base to your operation and double their size.
Rich and Ted hit right on the spot. My old man used to say:
Do you have anyone on staff with business savy? If you have another talented person that you can groom to take over, and are willing to owner finance, that may work.
My Company runs without to much involvement from me. We are a corporation, sub chapter s. Finding another shop to take over may be a good route. thanks for the idea.
I bought out a 21 year old company 14 years ago. My corporate life took a sharp turn and I was looking to buy a job in my hobby of choice. Good thing I had a strong business background. The owners stayed for a while but kept the clients thinking they still owned the business. I got rid of them and we survived and are doing well now.
My advice is to find another company interested in your equipment and client base or get a good business broker that can find someone like me willing to buy you out. Not an easy transition but it can work. Now that I have done that successfully it will be an easier sell. Good luck.
I know of two woodworking businesses that went through this transition in the past 5 years. One closed and sold the equipment and the other was purchased.
I was very surprised at the successful results of the business that just closed and liquidated. It was a 20+ man operation and the equipment was sold off at an online auction. I don't know the numbers of course but do know the owner was very satisfied with the results.
The other business was sold through a broker. There are a number of online "business for sale" websites that are known to the brokerage industry and found by people looking to buy. I believe that was how the buyer of this business was found. The owner of this business was also satisfied with the results.

I am curious how much a cabinet shop may be worth in terms of yearly gross income. 100%, 50%, more, less??
Our business broker used 2.5 times gross profit plus assets less liabilities. Shop was doing $200000+ a year and price was $500000.
Your numbers make it appear as though the shop you purchased had neither assets nor liabilities. Did I misunderstand the valuation method, or did they cancel each other out?
What about talking to your employees about buying you out?
You say they can run it without much involvement from you, so they should realize that can do it. There must be a way to structure a buyout if they collectively cannot come up with cash.
Tony- they were pretty close in that they were priced at $550000 but the real value of 20 year old simple equipment was too high so we cut that in half for a wash. Bottom line is that these businesses are really worth auction value unless you can convince a buyer that they can continue the same profit lines or grow. Hard thing to do with a single owner/founder business.

Choosing an agent should be about finding the best options to fit your needs. You'll notice a difference when comparing quotes between independent insurance agents who represent many insurance companies and a multitude of insurance products, and a captive agent who represents one company.
It can be confusing and time consuming to shop for custom coverages, great deals, or exceptional claims service. An independent agent is an expert advisor who can be your best resource for this.
There are 37,500 independent insurance agencies in the U.S, according to a 2010 report from the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, Inc. Each one offers a broad selection of insurance and financial services.
An independent agent can help you:
Compare a variety of companies and products to help you find the most effective coverage at the best value. Because an independent insurance agency has access to multiple insurance companies, they are able to offer you competitive pricing.
Choose your insurance policy among a vast field of offerings.
Evaluate services offered. Comparing apples and oranges is never easy. Each insurance company offers something slightly unique, and an independent agent can help you sort out which are best suited to your needs.
Customize coverage for your home or business. An independent agent is an expert in the nuances of policies and coverages, and understands how best to leverage these products to your advantage.
Navigate claims and other unfamiliar territories. While captive agents are obligated to watch their insurance company's bottom line, independent agents are free to represent you, and advocate on your behalf. They value you as a person, not a policy, and they'll look out for your best interests.

Kim Kardashian has long held the title of the best Kardashian bum.
Until now, when we think it's fair to say sister Khloe has taken the crown.
The stunning reality star showed off her amazing bum at the weekend as she went for lunch at Chin Chin Restaurant.
Khloe showed off her jaw-dropping kurves in a skintight black top and matching skirt for the swanky dinner with her fam.
The ombre-haired beauty teamed her sexy ensemble with a pair of nude court shoes, and carried a stylish tote bag on her arm.
Khloe even managed to out-shine sister Kim, who wore a grey skirt and crop top that showed off her nipples.
Little sister Kendall looked stylish in a green jumper dress and boots, but attempted stay incognito in a pair of giant glasses.

Article by The Western Courier
In April 2016, legendary musician Prince died of a fentanyl overdose. He left behind some 39 studio albums including over 100 singles. Rolling Stone Magazine, in 2004, named Prince as the 27th greatest artist on its "100 Greatest Artists" list. That same year, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's sold over 100 million records worldwide, joining the ranks Kanye West, The Beatles, Lady Gaga and many more as one of the best-selling artists of all time. And, until Feb. 15 of this year, nearly all his music wasn't available on popular music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or even YouTube.
For the unaware — when Spotify was gaining popularity and acceptance by the music industry in 2011 — Prince continually railed against the concept of his music being available online for free. It wasn't until July 2015, though, that Prince officially asked his record publisher to remove his music catalog.
In a series of social media posts in 2015, Prince quoted a Daily Beast article explaining his reasoning. "Essentially, streaming has offered labels the ability to pay themselves twice while reducing what is owed to artists from pennies on the dollar to fractions of pennies on the dollar," Teo Bugbee wrote for The Daily Beast.
Bugbee, Prince and analytics aaree. According to The Verge, an American technology news and media network owned by Vox Media, Spotify gives artists between $0.006 and $0.0084 per average stream. Of course, there are irregularities in which an artist would be paid more based on other factors like country of origin and country streaming.
For artists like Drake and Justin Bieber, who enjoy popularity and billions of streams, received some serious earnings in 2016. Drake's "One Dance," one of the most popular songs of 2016, which was streamed over 1 billion times, earned him over $6 million.
Artists who enjoy mainstream popularity can sleep soundly knowing their work is being appreciated and that they are being compensated. But what about the artists who rarely make it past state or local recognition?

The First One Clean.
Two years ago, or thereabouts.
The blow spun Flint to the ground, a spray of blood splattering on the plastic sheeting. He grimaced, blood dripping down from his noise, and pushed himself up off his hands and knees.
"Hold." The voice caught him as he was about to launch into a spinning blow, and he froze. "Are you okay, Flint?"
He sighed, and relaxed his stance, turning to face his opponent. "Dad, I'm fine. If I wasn't, I'd still be lying there."
Marco Perez frowned at his son. "Flint, you're bleeding." Taller than his son by at least half a head, he looked like he belonged on the cover of a dollar-store romance novel, with thick, glossy black hair bound back in a ponytail, and an impressive mustache combined with a few days' worth of stubble. His long face had hard lines etched in, but right now they were softened as concern filled his eyes.
"Yeah, because you hit me on the nose; that's usually what happens." He wiped at the blood with the back of his hand, and flicked it down onto the plastic, earning a grimace from his father. "If we stop every time I take a hit, I'm not going to learn anything."
"For the last time, Flint, it's self-defense, not Fight Club. If someone can land a hit on you like that, you're down for the count."
"If it's self-defense," Flint shot back, "then why do I know twenty ways to disable someone by breaking their bones?"
Marco sighed. "First, I only taught you one. Please tell me you haven't been watching 'martial arts' videos on the internet again." Flint coughed awkwardly, and said nothing. "Of course you have. And second, often the best form of self-defense is making sure the other guy can't hurt you anymore. If you have to break a few bones to ensure that, then so be it. But your first priority should always be ensuring your own safety: if someone was dangerous enough to land a hit on you, and you couldn't stop them uninjured, what hope do you have of doing it when you're hurt?"
"Yeah, and they'll be thinking that too, so when I spring up and punch them in the balls they won't be expecting it," Flint replied with a grin. With the blood staining his teeth, it looked vaguely unnerving.
Marco shook his head. "If you actually end up in this situation, you get up and you run. That, they won't be expecting."
"Pfeh, whatever," Flint replied dismissively. He raised his fists and spread his stance into a ready position. "Again?"
"No, that's enough. Go clean yourself up, and we'll do weapon drills."
"Oh come on! I can g-"
"Flint." His tone brooked no argument. "Go."
He went, grumbling all the way.
The sink was on the opposite side of the gym, next to the stairs that led up to the main level. A few towels hung from a rack next to it, and a small fridge sat slightly off to the side. Flint was pretty sure there was nothing in it, because there was never anything in it, but he still opened the door and gave it a quick once-over. Yep, nothing. What a surprise.
Flicking on the tap, he leant over the basin and cupped his hands under the stream, gathering a small pool of cool water. He splashed it onto his face, rubbing at the dried blood until it came off and stained the water pink as it spun around the drain, then gathered another handful and poured it over the top of his head. Theoretically, it was for the sweat, but it was really more of an excuse to run his hands over his newly-shaven skull. After… whatever the hell had happened at the café, he hadn't spoken to Edith once. He'd seen her around, they still did go to the same school, but every time he tried to talk to her, she disappeared. It hadn't been quite intentional, but he'd found himself in front of a mirror with a razor right there, and it had just sort of happened. He knew his hair had nothing to do with her breaking up with him, of course he did, but there was a tiny, nagging, stupid, part of his brain that wouldn't stop whispering about it. So the dreads were gone, and maybe now she'd talk to him again. Yeah, and maybe he'd be abducted by aliens from Mars.
When he trudged back over to Marco, he found him holding a wooden knife in one hand, flipping and spinning it casually around. He flicked it up out of his hand, and then swiped it out of the air into a backhanded grip. "You took a while. Alright, let's get started." He settled into a loose posture, weapon held at the ready. "What do you do?"
Flint narrowed his eyes, then lunged forward, but his father held a hand up and stopped him. "I know you can do it. Talk me through it."
He groaned. "Do I have to?"
Marco raised a thin eyebrow. "I think you already know the answer to that."
Flint blew a raspberry at him, spraying spittle everywhere, but obligingly took a step back to his starting point. "…okay, fine. So the first thing I do is identify the weapon. How are they holding it, how long is it, is it bladed or blunt, all that stuff."
"No it's not," Marco chided.
"Yes it is, what else- ugh, right, fine. First, I look at the person. Is he scared, is he relaxed, does he know how to hold a weapon?"
"Good. What do you do if he or she looks like this?" His posture tensed and he held the knife out like it was more of a danger to Flint than to him.
"You obviously don't know what you're doing, so I take it off you and disable."
"Mm-hmm. This?" Now his posture was more relaxed, and the knife pointed threateningly at Flint.
"Same answer. You're more confident, but that doesn't make you more skilled."
"Right. And now?" He shifted again, but this time it was subtle changes that set off alarm bells in Flint's brain.
"Run," he said instantly. "There's no way I win this one?"
"Really? What if-" his free hand flicked over to the rack and tossed another fake knife at him, "you have one too?"
Flint caught the wooden weapon by the blade and flipped the grip into his palm. "Answer doesn't change. Because-"
"-you don't win a knife fight, you just get to bleed out second," they said together, and then grinned at each other.
"Alright, that's good. You feel the need to prove it?" The question was asked with a smile.
"I think I'm good. Next?"
"Next," he placed the knives down and pulled a handgun off the rack, "we're doing this."
At the sight of the gun, Flint flinched; he couldn't help it. "Could we… maybe not?"
"What? Why? Normally, you… oh, right. The café."
He shrugged awkwardly. "…yeah. It's just… all it would have taken was one slipup, and I could have died. Someone else could've died, Edith could've died, and it would be been my fault and-"
A hand fell on his shoulder, warm and comforting, and he looked up to see his dad standing in front of him, face soft. "Yes," he said softly, "yes, you could've. Yes, they could've. And yes, it'd have been partially tour fault. But they didn't, Flint. And that's why we do this, so that it doesn't ever happen. Now that you've actually been in a real life scenario, it's even more important that we keep doing it. Otherwise, you'll lose the instincts that saved you in the first place. I know it's scary, and I know it's stark, but you have to face up to this stuff sooner or later if you want to- do something with your life. Okay, sport?"
Flint took a deep breath. Oddly enough, that did make him feel better about it. "Okay," he replied.
Marco's face broke out into a grin, and he took a step back, leveling the gun. "That's the spirit. Now, I'm a scary person with a scary gun. How are you going to stop me?"
Flint's eyes swept over him, taking in everything, and he grinned. "Like this," he said. And then he threw the knife.

There's a lot of pressure on "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" to perform well. Just how well though? You may be surprised.
Variety reports that Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal has set a goal of a $1 billion worldwide box-office for the sequel.
The figure isn't as outlandish as you might expect. 2012's first film raked in $752 million, while the three previous Sam Raimi films clocked in between $783 million to $890 million.
Even so, only four comic book movies have grossed over $1 billion worldwide – "The Avengers," "Iron Man 3," "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises".
Sony has reportedly bet big on the film with more than $400 million in production and worldwide marketing costs riding on the movie. It is paying off though with tracking figures suggesting the film is headed for a $100 million opening weekend in the United States – a big jump up on the $62 million opening weekend of the first film.
Yet how long it will last is a big question. The film opens in the wake of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," a film whose decidedly glowing reviews put to shame the more mixed reaction by a handful of critics so far to "Amazing Spider-Man 2" (though most U.S. reviews for it have yet to come out).
It also has two weeks of play before "Godzilla" and three weeks of play before the release of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", both of which are targeting similar demographics.

Some classic country songs from the 1940s include "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" by Bill Monroe and "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)" by Tex Williams. A few other hits were "Slippin' Around" by Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely, and "Pistol Packin' Mama" by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters.
The song "New San Antonio Rose," by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, was re-released in 1944 with new lyrics and a different vocalist, Tommy Duncan. Also in 1944, Red Foley released a song about World War II called "Smoke On the Water" that stayed on the charts for 13 weeks. The song "Candy Kisses," by George Morgan, was recorded at Columbia Records and launched Morgan's career.
In 1941, Ernest Tubb released "Walking the Floor Over You," a song that launched Tubb's chance to tour with the Texas Troubadours. Hank Williams released many great Country songs, but in 1949 he released his first number-one single, called "Lovesick Blues." Hank Williams would later become known as one of the greatest American songwriters. Eddy Arnold was the number-one artist of the 1940s on the Billboard charts. In 1948, he released the song, "Bouquet Of Roses," which was one of only six songs at number one for the entire year. Of the other five number-one songs, Arnold wrote four.

October is breast cancer awareness month. Not surprisingly, black women are more likely to have not only breast cancer but diabetes, heart disease and other illnesses. Many of these illnesses that black women are more likely to contract could simply be avoided through a healthy diet and sufficient exercise. We are bombarded with cookbooks and different diets that claim to help us shed the unwanted pounds. But it is easier said than done. Most people generally understand that in order to lead a healthy lifestyle, one must couple exercise and the proper diet. But most women, especially young women, or women on-the-go, cannot always adhere to these stringent guidelines. The thought of eating healthy used to make me cringe. But as I get older, I'm realizing that what I do to my body now will have a direct effect on my life in the near future. The importance of the proper diet and exercise is not emphasized enough, especially not in the black community. Many black women fear that too much exercise will cause them to lose their shape and possibly their favorite asset. Having an hourglass figure is sexy but what's sexier is being healthy. It is unfortunate that the only time we feel that a change is needed is when we are faced with a dire situation such as diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Heart disease is one of the leading killers of black women, so we need to look at our selves and examine our lifestyle and make some changes.
For some, eating right is not the problem; the problem is finding the time to exercise during the day. When you are working 12 hour days and sleeping only a few hours every night, it is difficult to squeeze exercise in. And don't be fooled by the common misconception that because you are small, thin or not overweight that you do not need to exercise. That is an absolute crock. Smaller women can still contract diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure from not eating a balanced diet. Exercise is an exceptional habit to cultivate. Prevention is a lot easier than living with or developing a potentially life-threatening disease or condition. Not only does exercise promote weight control and ward off diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, exercising also releases endorphins to the brain, which in turn generates feelings of happiness and euphoria. If you're not a gym person try taking a walk outside with friends or join a fitness class at your local gym. There are plethoras of ways you can increase your activity and get your blood flowing. Many doctors have stated that the importance of exercise in warding off illnesses and diseases cannot be overemphasized. Exercise is proficient at warding many types of diseases.
If your main goal is to lose weight, the best way to do that is to lower caloric intake (diet) and increase caloric burn (exercise). When you hear the word diet, it probably paints an unpleasant picture in your head of a woman starving herself, constantly checking the scale for the smallest ounce of weight gain and consuming low calorie snacks and diet sodas. Eating healthy does not have to be this excruciating. There is no one-size-fits-all diet. Everyone is different and therefore my best piece of advice is to eat every food group in moderation. For some people a carb-free diet works and for others going vegan has changed their life. The first thing that we need to do is change our lifestyle habits. It may be hard at first to modify your eating and hit the gym but the benefits to these two elements will save your life.
