By JAN LARSON McLAUGHLIN
BG Independent News
We might as well get used to it. The cold dipped down to minus 4 degrees early this morning, and temperatures aren't expected to get to 20 or above for another week.
For some, the frigid temperatures are more than a cause for discomfort. The brittle cold can lead to burst pipes, frozen paws, frostbitten fingers and car problems.
Some professionals in Bowling Green accustomed to dealing with the complications of cold weather offered some advice on how to protect people, pets, pipes and vehicles during these frigid temperatures.
First, how people can prevent harm to themselves …
"I wouldn't be out more than a half hour at a time," said Kevin Hosley, registered nurse at Wood County Hospital Emergency Department. And bundle up. "Any exposed skin should be covered."
People with lung problems or the elderly should avoid being out in this brittle cold, Hosley added.
The most serious risk to humans is hypothermia, when the body's temperature drops dangerously low, said Alex Aspacher, community outreach coordinator with the Wood County Health District.
"Basically, your body starts to lose heat faster than it can replace it," Aspacher said.
One symptom of hypothermia is confusion, so "somebody might not know they have it," he added.
Hunters and homeless people are susceptible, but in these frigid temperatures some people are at risk even if they aren't outside. Especially vulnerable are babies or older people in very cold homes. "Older people lose body heat faster" and babies aren't able to generate heat the way others can to keep themselves warm, Aspacher said.
If hypothermia is suspected, the person's temperature should be taken. If below 95 degrees, 911 should be called, he said. Any wet clothing should be removed, and the person should be placed in a warm room and bundled in blankets – an electric blanket if available.
The other risk with the cold is frostbite, when skin is exposed, commonly on the face, hands and feet. Aspacher explained that in frigid weather, the body prioritizes which areas to keep warm, so the extremities are likely to suffer first.
If frostbite is suspected, the area should be warmed with an electric blanket or warm water – not hot water, Aspacher cautioned. The frostbitten areas should not be massaged, and the person should avoid walking on frostbitten toes and feet.
The health district also advises that people should be prepared for power outages by having a three-day supply of water, canned food, medications and pet foods in their homes. A cold weather kit should also be stocked with duct tape, a weather radio and a wrench to shut off burst pipes.
Next, how to protect your pets …
House pets aren't accustomed to any extended exposure to these type of temperatures, said Janet Duty, of the Animal Hospital at West Ridge in Bowling Green.
Some dogs get really excited about playing out in the snow – but people need to keep an eye on them.
"Indoor dogs are not as adaptable," Duty said. "Watch for signs of them limping. Snow gets stuck between their toes" and the pads on their paws can be cut by ice.
Outdoor animals, such as barn cats, need to have places to cuddle up out of the wind. "Make sure they have a place that's dry," Duty said.
And water need to be frequently replaced, since it won't take long in these temperatures for a bowl of water to become a block of ice. "Water needs to be maintained," she said. "It will freeze solid."
How to avoid problems at home …
Turning heat down too far at home won't save money if the pipes freeze and burst. Just ask Neil Gearhart, of Gearhart Plumbing, Heating and Cooling in Bowling Green.
"It's going to be a long night," Gearhart said as he prepared to go out on another emergency call Wednesday night.
Gearhart's crews have been working round the clock, responding to homes where water pipes have frozen and burst. Weather forecasts are predicting one of the longest "cold snaps" in many years.
Most of the problems could be avoided with basic common sense, Gearhart said.
"There's a whole slew of millennials who don't know what to do," Gearhart said. It's simple – don't turn the heat way down in a house during this weather. Even thermostats that automatically turn down to 62 at night can be dangerous in this brittle cold, he said.
And keep cupboard doors open under sinks that are on the outside wall of a home, he said.
Gearhart said he often responds to homes where garage doors and home vents aren't kept closed, even in this weather. "A little common sense would be nice," he said.
It would also be helpful for homeowners to know how to turn the water off to their home – before they have to learn during an emergency.
Bowling Green sees a lot of burst pipes when weather like this hits during winter break. When student renters leave for the break, some turn off their heat, thinking it will save money. It's not uncommon for local plumbers to get calls from police officers who notice the problems first.
"We get calls that water is pouring out of the front door and freezing," Gearhart said.
Gearhart even remembers one incident when police noticed water coming out a second story window. The freezing water caused the siding to fall off as one frozen sheet, he said.
Some landlords don't check the properties, so some renters will return to cold and wet homes. "As the college kids come back, they will find problems," he said.
What about safety out on the road …
To be honest, many vehicle problems encountered in the winter cold could be avoided with check-ups in the fall, said Jay Sockman, of Sockman Automotive in Bowling Green.
The battery, wipers, washer fluid, antifreeze, and tires should be checked.
Drivers should pack an emergency kit for winter, which should be stocked with water, energy bars, jumper cables, flashlight, and a battery pack with a port to power cell phones. Some battery packs can even jumpstart cars, Sockman said.
It's also a good idea to pack a bag of kitty litter, which serves a dual purpose of adding weight to the car and adding traction to icy surfaces.
When driving in these frigid temperatures, Sockman suggested giving a car time to warm up. "Let it run 10 minutes," he said.
And don't rely on the windshield wipers or electric windows to clean off the ice. Scrape off the windows and make sure they aren't frozen, so the cables aren't snapped or motors ruined trying to unstick the windows or wipers.
When traveling any great distance in this weather, get your vehicle checked out before you hit the road, Sockman said.
"If you're planning on going somewhere, don't wait to schedule your car in," he said.

|A Pain in the Neck
Written by
George McGrath
Directed by
Gary Halvorson
A Pain in the Neck is the 7th episode of Season 2 of Kids Incorporated and 33rd episode overall. In this episode, Gloria has her tonsils removed.
Plot SummaryEdit
The episode begins with Riley opening with a card trick (with Wendy doubling as an assistant), and the crowd picked the jack of hearts...which somehow wound up on the back of Riley's shirt. He then introduces the opening song ("Thunder Road"). However, Gloria has to leave after the song to get her tonsils removed, and attempts to cheer the others up. They then discuss how brave Gloria was in not showing any signs of fear before returning to the stage for the next number ("Jailhouse Rock")
Later, Ryan, Kid and Renee are playing basketball out back (with Renee protesting a blatant travel by the Kid); the Kid then comes to the conclusion that Gloria was being held prisoner and they should break her out. Stranger still is that the others think this is a good idea. That night, Gloria finishes calling her dad ("Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid"). However, this is followed by the others arriving to spring Gloria. Gloria wasn't fooled, and then explains the reason she went to the hospital for the procedure (a preemptive strike; as Gloria had been dealing with a sore throat that wouldn't heal and feared possible vocal damage that would force her to quit Kids Incorporated); and throws in the typical perks mentioned (such as lots of ice cream) prior to "That's What Friends Are For".
The kids then ask a series of questions after the procedure that Gloria was unable to verbally answer. A few days later, Gloria returns to the P*lace; mentioning she felt terrific ("Wait 'til you hear my G above high C") and admits that she didn't want to let on that she was afraid of the procedure, leading to Ryan sticking his foot in his mouth by commenting "For a girl, you've got guts". This sets up the finale ("Walking on Sunshine").
Kid Cast Edit
- Marta "Martika" Marrero - Gloria (credited as Martika Marrero)
- Ryan Lambert - Ryan
- Rahsaan Patterson - Kid
- Renee Sandstrom (credited as Renee Sands) - Renee

- "That's What Friends Are For ('85)" (Kids Incorporated original; lead vocals by Renee & Stacy)
- "Walking on Sunshine" (Katrina & the Waves cover; lead vocals by Gloria)
- The song "That's What Friends Are For" is an original song not to be confused with the song originally recorded by Rod Stewart and later remade by Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Elton John & Stevie Wonder (as "Dionne and Friends") in 1985 (and which Kids Incorporated would cover in the following season's "Riley Gets Stung" episode).
- The reference to hitting a G in high C would put Gloria in the soprano vocal range
- "Walking on Sunshine" would later be used in the 1986 episode "Stacy and the Clown"; this time with vocals by Stacy Ferguson.
- Ryan and Kid didn't sing in this episode.

Wrestlemania Weekend Thursday: Matt Riddle's Bloodsport
For those that don't know this was a no-ropes show with every match being submission or KO. It lost a little shine for me when Low-Ki canceled, but this is still full of guys I dig in a style I love
KTB vs. Dominic Garinni
PAS: Really fun short intro to this style. KTB isn't going to be comfortable exchanging holds with a Ju-Jitsu champion, but I did think he showed nice explosiveness on his takedowns, and I loved the little short jab he threw. Finish was really great with KTB dropping Dom with a jab and diving on him, only to get caught in a triangle choke for the tap. Cool flash finish, very Fujiwarish, which is a style that works well for Dominic, I really like him as a guy who can tap anyone, anytime.
Eddie Kingston vs. Tracy Williams
PAS: I liked this a lot too, Kingston is great as the unpolished guy who is just going to fight his way out of submissions with grit rather then technique. Williams is tying him up with leg locks and King is just looking for faces to punch.Told a very cool little story. I have no idea why Riddle was working as Eddie's second, but he is a great second. Neat finish with Kingston able to get to get to his feet, Williams runs right into a knee and King rocks him with shots and drops him with a backfist. Neat stuff and I need to track down their AIW match.
Martin Stone vs. Masada
PAS: First real miss of this show, they really should have thrown this out and had a fist fight, but they tried to grapple and that isn't up either guys alley. This was also marred by some really weird ref shit, Bryce Remsberg reffed half the matches, but the kid that was doing this match didn't seem to know what he was doing, he had a couple of weird standups, and seemed to stop the match early. Whole thing was kind of a mess and the referee didn't help
WALTER vs. Filthy Tom Lawlor
PAS: Kind of funny that the UFC guy versus the multiple time AMBITION guy was the least shooty of the matches on the show. This was just a stiff fight, with WALTER lacing Lawlor with chops and Lawlor firing back with shots. It had bodyslams and Tenryu jabs and not much grappling or submission attempts, and one point WALTER even ripped off Lawlors soft cast. Finish was great with WALTER just trying to pound his fist through Lawlor's chest and then locked on an arm trap sleeper hold. I enjoyed this a bunch, crowd was really into it, although I would have liked to see them try to work a really shootstyle match.
ER: Hot damn this was a bank filled with money. This was a short match, just 8 minutes, but wasn't worked as a sprint with them rushing to fit everything in, and yet still seemed like a complete and total match due to the stiffness and selling and personalities of both. Lawlor is a big guy but looks small next to WALTER, and WALTER treats him small. This was a beatdown to start, with Lawlor attempting to trade but getting met with expectedly nasty chops and a smothering ground attack. Before long he's ripping off Lawlor's soft cast and starts slamming that freaking arm into the mat in the most violent disgusting way. My god, man. Lawlor's selling was great throughout and his comebacks really amped this up, knowing he was likely outgunned but not giving a damn, unflinching at the thought of going down in a blaze. I dug the Tenryu chop/jab comeback, and I flipped out for Riddle's superman punch. WALTER went down in a heap, and because Lawlor is the man he then even does the Roman Reigns shotgun to set up his next one...except WALTER chops him out of air to his doom and then levels him with a short arm clothesline. Toast. Lawlor throws a Hail Mary and rolls through a WALTER choke to set up an armbar, but it is fleeting. WALTER powerbombs out of it, pounds on Lawlor's chest like Donkey Kong, and locks on the most disgusting choke, trapping Lawlor's arm behind his own head while applying a sleeper. This match was huge, total war that was short without actually feeling like anything was left out. A real gem.
Chris Dickinson vs. Dan Severn
PAS: This was the most shootstyle of the matches so far, and I really enjoyed it. It was the story of Severn using his strength to ground and slow down Dickinson and Dickinson having some real explosion and aggression when he was on his feet. Loved Dickinson's kicks to the body and Severn kidney shots. Awesome spot where Severn caught Dickinsons high kick and took him down. Match was marred with another terrible ref spot, where Dickison was in the mount raining down elbows and the ref restarted them on their feet. This allowed Severn to catch Dickinson with a german and choke him out. Clearly the ref thing is some sort of angle, and it is a stinky one, show didn't need Tirantes and it is only making matches worse.
Nick Gage vs. Timothy Thatcher
PAS: Gage is over huge with the crowd, Gage is a bit hit and miss with me as a wrestler, but what a cool story his return has been. This was fun but a bit messy. I loved Thatcher chicken winging Gage out of the ring to the floor, it was cool that they kept all of the other matches in the ring, so this was a bigger deal. Similar story here that they had for Williams vs. Kingston, although this had more heat and some ringside brawling. I did think Gage needed to lay it in a bit more, for a deranged ex-convict, his stuff can be a little weak some times, I needed him to really smash Thatcher to buy the stoppage.
Matt Riddle vs. Minoru Suzuki
PAS: I really enjoyed this, and it was easily the match of the show. This felt like a big deal, Suzuki was super over and this was a main event match. All the early grappling was cool, and felt UWFIish, more then anything else on the show. Loved all of the leverage spots around the apron, such a clever use of the no ropes gimmick with the guy on top having the advantage some of the time, and then the guy on the floor being able to gain the upper hand. Also loved the finish with Suzuki really sinking in the choke and Riddle considering hurling them both to the floor, before thinking better of it and slamming Suzuki hard, but not hard enough, down on the mat. I am bummed about Low-Ki no showing, because that could have been really special, but this was a great last minute replacement
ER: Phil has been watching hot topic (because it's a hot topic online right now, not a show promoted by a bunch of doofs in Bullet Club shirts or something) all day and texting me about it, while I've been glued to my desk finishing up my yearly Fixed Asset Certification Reports. Much like with professional sports trades, we're better off evaluating them long after the fact and then deciding who had the better day. This was the first WM weekend show I watched and it was probably one of the most anticipated, and I imagine this delivered pretty much what people wanted and goes as expected. The takedown defense of Suzuki is fun, and the grappling between the two of them is a gas, and you know we get some dueling kneebars that look like they would just snap my tibia. All my favorite stuff in the match happened around the apron. Since there were no ropes they were able to do some cool leverage spots with the apron, with Suzuki pulling guard for an advantage, but it quickly turning to a disadvantage when Riddle slipped off the apron and was now standing on the floor, hammering down on Suzuki's face and body. The other perfect apron spot was the end, when Suzuki had a backpack choke on Riddle and Riddle stumbled to the edge of the apron and threatened do plunge backwards off the side, instead dropping backwards into the ring before getting choked out (and turning purple in the process). Tons of fun moments here, like their lightning fast strike exchange that saw several limbs flying at once, the battle over a slow German suplex by Riddle (followed up by a big senton), Riddle calling out a fan for cheering Suzuki, pretty much all you wanted out of this match-up.

Since I've recently upped my Pinterest game, I've been saving a lot of beauty looks to try. So today, I did just that. I tried a "messy bun" and I think I succeeded, because it was, well, quite messy.
I love the fact that Pinterest now has the "Tried It" option where you can upload a photo of a pin you've attempted. It helps to determine the level of difficulty of a makeup or hair look when you see how many other people have tried it and whether or not it worked.
Remember the days before Pinterest when you would tear out a magazine page or just do endless screenshots of looks you loved when surfing the web? It's just so much easier now. Which means there's no excuse not to try something new.

American Society and Culture is an optional course at our college, so I usually keep the teaching of the course light. Most days we talk through a PowerPoint presentation together. The PowerPoints for this course contain lots of pictures and graphics for discussion and interest. I also show a huge number of video clips from YouTube to compliment each PowerPoint presentation.
I put these presentations together about two years ago, so a few of the statistics may have changed; however, the enduring cultural information is accurate. These presentations use simple English and often really simplify what can be some very complex topics. As always in culture classes, the teacher should emphasize that each country has many individuals and so we cannot and should not over-generalize; we can just notice trends and traditions practiced by large groups of a population.
Some of the PowerPoints for this course were made to compliment a textbook that we use in class; those portions can be easily edited out, however.
Please feel free to use, edit, and share them as needed.
When teaching about holidays, I try to show videos to compliment all of the major holidays as well as showing some photos I've taken during the holidays over the years (eg. dyed Easter eggs, family pictures by the Christmas tree, etc.).
To further supplement the lesson, I sometimes use one or more articles about the holidays. I like to use articles from VOA Student Union, articles that have been written by international students studying in America so my students can hear about the holidays through the eyes of someone else who is not native to American culture. To download those article worksheets, click here: November Holidays Articles. (All 3 articles below are included in this one file.)

Here's a preview of the article worksheets:
Here are some previews of a select few slides from the PowerPoint:

Professional Opportunities
The enduring value of a Humanities degree in general and an English degree in particular is much in the news these days. See recent articles in The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Forbes Magazine, The Chonicle of Higher Education, The New York Times, NaceWeb, and elsewhere on the topic:
- [E]mployers are seeking hires with communication skills and comfort in multicultural environments. . . . Those with degrees in English . . . brought home bigger paychecks, with starting salaries rising 14.3%." – Wall Street Journal (2016)
- "That 'Useless' Liberal Arts Degree Has Become Tech's Hottest Ticket…. Throughout the major U.S. tech hubs, whether Silicon Valley or Seattle, Boston or Austin, Tex., software companies are discovering that liberal arts thinking makes them stronger." – Forbes Magazine (2015)
- "Pursuing a degree in English equips you with skills that are easily transferable and vital to professional roles, including time management skills, critical thinking, and logic." – Jordana Lopez-DaSilva (LC '11)
English majors begin their transition to the professional and academic world in a variety of ways, but should start close at home. Lehman's Career Exploration and Discovery Center is a resource not a resort - go early and often so they know who you are, what workshops you've taken, and what incoming internships or job possibilities may interest you. Register with Symplicity so you get email alerts about new opportunities. Bring in your resume and cover letter for each position you apply for, tailoring it for maximum effectiveness.
Also regularly visit Lehman's Experiential Learning Portal, which features an Internship site and a Resource Center - and be sure to take a good hard look at the CUNY/NYC Partnernship page, with particular attention to CUNY Cultural Corps (a fantastic opportunity for Humanities majors!). Find what interests you, talk with the folks at Career Services as well as with your family and professors, and work hard on submitting a stellar application (with resume and cover letter). Keep in mind that the Humanities Internship, HUM 470, may provide you with course credit for your internship!
For an overivew of how English majors develop valuable professional skills in research, analysis, writing, and multimedia communication and presentation, see the graphs concerning English Major Career Choices and Humanities Careers below:
Career Conversations:
Lehman English runs a series of workshops, panels, and speaking events for students in an effort to bring Literature, Creative Writing, and Professional Writing majors in contact with former English B.A. and M.A./M.F.A. students who have build a careers on the valuable skills they acquired in their college and graduate-school years. These "Conversatons" are informal, often spontaneous (with only a week or two of warning), and uniformaly excllent - all English majors and minors are strongly encouraged to attend.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico
July 28, 2017
STATE OF NEW MEXICO, Plaintiff-Appellant,v.CODY PLATERO, Defendant-Appellee.
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF VALENCIA COUNTY James Lawrence
Sanchez, District Judge
H. Balderas, Attorney General Santa Fe, NM John J. Woykovsky,
Assistant Attorney General Albuquerque, NM for Appellant
Bennett J. Baur, Chief Public Defender J.K. Theodosia
Johnson, Assistant Appellate Defender Santa Fe, NM for
TIMOTHY L. GARCIA, Judge
This case presents the question of whether, as a preliminary
matter, the State should be prohibited from presenting its
evidence to establish the corpus delicti of
vehicular homicide where the cause of an accident and the
cause of death are to be drawn purely from circumstantial
evidence and without any expert testimony. The State appeals
the district court's order dismissing the charges against
Defendant Cody Platero for two counts of vehicular homicide
and possession of a controlled substance. The district court
dismissed the charges, pursuant to Rule 5-601(B) NMRA and
State v. Foulenfont, 1995-NMCA-028, 119 N.M. 788,
895 P.2d 1329. The district court found that "the State
[could not] meet its burden of proving cause of death or
presenting evidence of [the] cause of death" without
expert testimony, which the State did not schedule to call
for trial. We conclude that circumstantial evidence may be
used to establish the elements of vehicular homicide and that
an expert's testimony is not required as a matter of law
before the State may proceed with its case in chief. The
State presented sufficient facts in the indictment and at the
pretrial hearings to circumstantially establish the
corpus delicti of vehicular homicide. Therefore, the
district court erred in finding that an expert was required
as a matter of law in this case. We reverse and remand to the
district court for further proceedings.
On December 14, 2010, the Valencia County Sheriff's
Department responded to reports of a wrecked car on New
Mexico Highway 47. There were no eyewitnesses to the crash.
Officers on the scene observed what they believed to be
"a rollover accident that resulted in the death of a
female subject, who had been apparently ejected from the
motor vehicle." Officers followed a pair of footprints
and located Defendant, who smelled "strongly of an
alcoholic beverage, had slurred speech and bloodshot watery
eyes." He sustained numerous injuries, which the
officers concluded were the result of being ejected from the
vehicle. When interviewed by police at the hospital,
Defendant initially denied knowledge of the wreck and then
told officers that he and the deceased, Amber Smith, were
going to the desert to have sex and that she was driving.
On January 26, 2012, a grand jury indicted Defendant on two
counts of homicide by vehicle, by driving while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs and by reckless
driving, in violation of NMSA 1978, Section 66-8-101(C)
(2004, amended 2016). Defendant was also charged with
possession of a controlled substance, in violation of NMSA
1978, Section 30-31-23 (2005, amended 2011), and leaving the
scene of the accident, in violation of NMSA 1978, Section
66-7-201(C) (1989). The indictment, in pertinent part,
charged Defendant "did cause the death of [decedent] in
the unlawful operation of a motor vehicle while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug . . . [or] in a
reckless manner[.]"
Defendant was arraigned on March 13, 2012. The case was set
for trial in March 2015. On February 18, 2015, Defendant
moved to exclude or limit the testimony of State witnesses,
including lab technicians and police officers, regarding the
cause of the accident and the cause of death of the decedent.
Defendant argued that because the State's witness list
included no experts on these issues, testimony about the
cause of the accident or cause of the death of the decedent
would be speculation and prejudicial to Defendant. The State
agreed that it would not call an expert witness to testify as
to the cause of the accident and that there were no witnesses
who observed the cause of the crash. Furthermore, the State
did not have an autopsy report for the decedent, and no one
from the Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) was on the
State's witness list.
The district court held a hearing on Defendant's motion
on February 25, 2015, and trial was scheduled to begin the
following week, March 2, 2015. The district court asked the
State how it would prove that the accident was the
decedent's cause of death. The State argued that
circumstantial evidence was sufficient. Defendant responded
that the State could not show who was driving or what
happened to cause the accident stating, "This case is
all about speculation. . . . We have a problem with the
sufficiency of the evidence." Defendant agreed with the
district court's characterization of the motion as a
"direct[ed] verdict [motion]." The district court
asked the parties to provide relevant case law as to whether
trial could move forward on the facts presented, otherwise
the court would rule that "as a matter of law, the State
does not have a critical piece of the puzzle to go forward
with the case" and would dismiss pursuant to
Foulenfont, 1995-NMCA-028. After a subsequent
hearing on February 27, 2015, the district court dismissed
counts one, two and three, related to vehicular homicide and
the possession of a controlled substance, and stayed the
proceedings with regard to count four, leaving the scene of
an accident. The district court explained its belief that
dismissal was proper because "the State cannot meet its
burden of proving cause of death or presenting evidence of
[the] cause of death, . . . they can't do it
circumstantially on this case with lay witnesses." The
district court dismissed the charges "for failure of the
State to have a critical witness ready to testify [for
trial]." The State timely appealed.
"Judicial authority to rule on pretrial motions in
criminal matters is outlined in Rule 5-601." State
v. LaPietra, 2010-NMCA-009, ¶ 7, 147 N.M. 569, 226
P.3d 668. Rule 5-601(B) provides that "[a]ny defense,
objection or request which is capable of determination
without a trial on the merits may be raised before trial by
motion." Id.; see State v. Gomez,
2003-NMSC-012, ¶ 8, 133 N.M. 763, 70 P.3d 753 (stating
that where a motion involves factual matters that are not
capable of resolution without a trial on the merits, Rule
5-601(B) requires the question to be submitted to the
fact-finder). We review whether the district court was within
its authority under Rule 5-601 in dismissing charges against
Defendant under a de novo standard of review. See
LaPietra, 2010-NMCA-009, ¶ 5 ("The contours of
the district court's power to conduct a pretrial hearing
on a motion to dismiss charges brought under Rule 5-601 is a
legal question reviewed under a de novo standard.").
"In Foulenfont, we stated that it was proper
for a district court to decide purely legal matters and
dismiss a case when appropriate before trial."
LaPietra, 2010-NMCA-009, ¶ 7. "Questions
of fact, however, are the unique purview of the jury and, as
such, should be decided by the jury alone."
Id.; see Foulenfont, 1995-NMCA-028, ¶
3 (stating that "it was improper to dismiss a failure to
appear charge on the basis of a factual determination made at
the preliminary hearing stage"). In Foulenfont,
the purely legal issue addressed by this Court was whether a
fence is a "structure" under the burglary statute;
the district court had ruled it was not. 1995-NMCA-028,
¶¶ 2, 7. The state conceded that the facts of the
case were not in dispute and that finding the defendant
guilty turned only on the resolution of the legal question
regarding the fence. Id. ¶ 6. Accordingly, we
held that the district court properly resolved the legal
question prior to trial and upheld the dismissal. Id.
¶¶ 10, 13. However, in such cases where the
factual matters are in dispute and not capable of resolution
without a trial on the merits, our Supreme Court held that
the district court "lacks the authority to grant the
motion prior to trial." State v. Hughey,
2007-NMSC-036, ¶ 11, 142 N.M. 83, 163 P.3d 470.
Generally, a Rule 5-601(B) motion may not be used to test the
sufficiency of the State's evidence to establish the
elements of the charged crime. In LaPietra, the
defendants, charged with intentional or neglectful child
abuse resulting in great bodily harm, brought a
Foulenfont motion arguing that the state lacked
evidence to prove that the defendants caused their children
to be placed in a situation that endangered their life or
health. LaPietra,2010-NMCA-009, ¶¶ 1, 8.
On appeal, the defendants framed the issue as a legal
question that asked whether the state had any evidence that
would justify a jury trial. Id. ¶ 8. In
reversing, this Court explained that "[w]hen an issue
involves a specific determination or finding, especially when
it is an element of the offense, it is a question that is
within the unique purview ...

Just three very short days away! My first born baby is going to start school! I am so excited for her, but we (especially McKay) will miss her. She is so ready.
Although I am terrified to send my child out into the world, I know that children have to go out some time or another. Five years old seems rather young, but she's been taught well at home and church. She'll be a light for all those around her.
We are so happy her Kindergarten experience will only be half-day. I am a fan. We'll post more later...

It's a new day...

I can't believe it!!! How is it possible Taylor is starting school, it seriously feels like yesterday that we were praying for the Miracle Baby and now look at her! She is beautiful just like her Mom.

I must seriously have lost my mind because I didn't think Taylor was 5already! I can't believe she is starting school! I can't believe MY baby is starting school either! Although we have 2 weeks left before school begins...I'm getting scared and excited.

yay! Happy 1st day of school. Her teacher is going to love her. Make sure you sign up for PTA (you don't necessarily need to be the pres), don't waste Taylor's teacher's time with all of your 1st time mom questions, and send T to school with snacks, paper towels, and volunteer to do all the lame prep. work her teacher doesn't have time for...then...when you HATE her potential 3rd grade teacher, the principal will owe you.
There's my quick intro to school politics (can I tell I'm passionate about stuff like this? Ask Deborah...she knows).

Oh Sarah, I have NO doubt that Taylor has been raised with the upmost perfect life with you and Spencer as her parents and examples!!
She's gonna love Kindergarten! It's so hard to believe that they are already in school, isn't it? I watch Addi play on the playground and tell me, "Can I ride my bike to school? Alone?" My heart breaks thinking with each day that passes, she will slowly not need my anymore.
Hang in there ... :)

Wow! 5 years old. Emily is going into 1st grade this fall. It will be all day and it seems like such a long time for her to be away from home. She is ready--I am not, but I know that she has to grow up sometime.

How exciting! Time flies, it was just yesterday that Brent and Trevor started Kendergarten in the same school as Taylor and the very same room! Now Brent is in his last year of High School. Watch out guys you will be in my shoes before you know it! (Where will that leave me, a GG!)

Extra hands for Greenwich
Millennium Central chief executive Jennie Page says the organisation will bring additional designers on board for the Greenwich exhibition project, and that it is still in discussions with the event's creator Imagination.
Imagination has not carried out any work on the project since March, when its temporary contract ended. It is unclear which elements of the project may be given to other consultancies.
The Government review of the project will be finished by the end of June or sooner, says a Millennium Central spokesman.

With a little over two weeks before Legendary Pictures releases their much anticipated Kong: Skull Island, the magnitude of exactly what is on its way continues to grow. To date we know that not only is Skull Island inhabiting the same world as 2014's Godzilla, but also that Legendary has two more films planned in its MonsterVerse after this latest cinematic iteration of King Kong – 2018's Godzilla: King of Monsters and 2020's Kong vs. Godzilla.
What's more, recent news has expanded our knowledge of what awaits the intrepid explorers who find themselves on the fabled Skull Island. As much as past King Kong movies have focused on Kong's conflict with the humans who discover him, Skull Island appears to highlight the giant ape's battle for supremacy against other creatures that also inhabit the mythical island. Most specifically, it seems that in order to truly be crowned King, Kong must first battle the hordes of Skull-crawlers that call Skull Island home.
The latest taste of what's to come when Kong: Skull Island hits theaters this March has just arrived, courtesy of Fandango. The featurette – entitled All Hail the King - can be seen above and clocks in at just 2 minutes. With a variety of creatures big and small on an island never before inhabited by man, the featurette definitely highlights the gargantuan battles that are set to take place and gives credence to Tom Hiddleston's (who plays Captain James Conrad) statement that "This film will be an immersive spectacle."
In addition to Hiddleston's statement in the above featurette, Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts sums up the sheer enormity and presence of King Kong by saying: "When people step foot on this island, their first visceral response is to look at that thing and say 'That's a god.'" And while some of the creatures on display in the featurette are no match for Kong, the band of humans on the island - which includes Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly and John Goodman - all seem to be facing down threats to their survival at every turn. But of course, literally the biggest challenge of all is Kong – although the Skull-crawlers and wide assortment of other bizarre creatures visible in the featurette look tremendous.
Much has been said about Legendary's MonsterVerse and the degree of anticipation for a shared universe that will culminate with Godzilla fighting King Kong. While those prospects are exciting for any monster movie fan, there is the danger of too much too soon. The focus should first and foremost be on Kong. The film has already given ample reasons why it will be a spectacle, so before we get too carried away with what will eventually be, it's perhaps worth taking the time to focus on a monster movie that looks to be far and away beyond anything that the genre has produced to date.
Indeed, Skull Island seems to be the complete package – a monster movie that employs classic elements, mixes them with modern technology and perhaps most importantly of all, doesn't appear to take itself too seriously. The movie so far it does look as though it's got a very good shot at being the largest in scope. And for a film about a giant ape called King Kong, nothing could be more suitable.

After 11 years,Team India finally won a series in Sri-Lanka.Last victory was in the year 1998 in a tri-series. It was a collective effort from the team with both bat and ball. After winning toss MS Dhoni elected to Bat first and the openers responded well by putting 100 run partnership for first wicket. Sachin blasted his 44th century by scoring 138 of 133 balls supported well by half centuries from Dhoni who promoted himself to no.3 and Yuvraj finding quick runs in the end. India went on to make 319/5 in 50 over to set a target of 320 for the hosts on somewhat predictable R Premadassa pitch cracking up in 2nd innings.
The hosts though couldn't have asked for a better start than this one with Dilshan and Jayasuriya blasting early. It seemed to be a close contest with Indian fielding looking pedestrian and the Lankans converting 1's into 2's. Robin Singh – fielding coach, need to work really hard to make this team look like No.1 especially in fielding department.
Lankans were sailing through easily with 6 plus run rate until Bhajji shattered Dilshan's off stump and making foundation for wickets to follow. By 125 on board Sri-Lanka lost 5 wickets. Captain Sangakkara and Kandamby showed some courage by holding innings and making score pass 200. Sangakkara though found himself unlucky to get out Hit-wicket on RP Singh's delivery leaving Kandamby as sole warrior to fight. Kapugedera supported Kandamby well with his little knock before nicking one to wicket-keeper.
With 82 runs needed in 60 balls things look difficult and Bhajji made it even more difficult in his second spell by picking 2 wickets in 2 balls getting Kandamby clean bold followed by lollypop C&B from Malinga.
Sri-Lanka was bowled out on 273 giving team India 46 runs win in tri-series. Sachin was adjudged Man of the Match for his brilliant knock and also Man of the Series for scoring 211 runs in three matches. Bhajji got stylish player award for his 5-56.
With Champions trophy to start from 22nd September in South Africa this win will boost up moral of the team to enter contest on a winning note.
Shams & Wags wishes team India all the very best and promises to bring all updates from Champions trophy.
Jai Ho!!!!!!!!

With Daryl Tuffey and Shane Bond back in the New Zealand side, the visitors did quiet well to restrict the Sri Lankans for a small total of 216. New Zealand heavily relies on Jesse Ryder who is a great opening batsman. But he didnt bother the scorers as he got out for a duck.The New Zealanders had knocked out the top order of Srilanka very cheaply. In came Thilan Samaraweera and anchored the boat with a steady innings along with Angelo Mathews and spoiled the party for New Zealanders.
Thilan scored his maiden century, and Angelo supported with a Half century.
Even the lankans bowled superbly with Lasith Malinga striking thrice in an over ensing up with figured of 6.0 overs, 28 runs and 4 wickets.
Sri Lanka won by 97 runs and Samaraweera was rightly adjudged as the man of the match.

A Real Americano Hero
Coffee stout- just another perc of drinking at Marble Brewery. Ok, now that the groans have subsided, please fill your Garfield "I Hate Mornings" coffee cup with your drink of choice and enjoy this tale of Stout Americano.
Yes, once again Marble is throwing a party for a limited release beer, this one being the Stout Americano. On Wednesday, March 22, all three locations will have the beer on tap and in 22 oz. bottles. And yes, this release party beginning at 5 will feature a food pairing, this time a treat from Farina Alto. Farina's two locations are known for making some of the best pizza in the city. And while pizza and beer may possibly be the best pairing imaginable, pizza and coffee stout…not so much! So Brewmaster Josh Trujillo and the Farina folks came up with a dessert to complement the beer: dark chocolate biscotti with fennel and cinnamon. This may be the first time you've felt compelled to dunk food into your beer. An extra cheese and pepperoni slice dipped in IPA…not so much!
Of course, Josh's prime focus is on the beer itself. The base beer is a variation of the award-winning Oatmeal Stout, but Josh removed the roasted barley from this recipe. "I wanted to take out the roastiness and used Chocolate and Carafa malts to bring out notes of chocolate, toffee, and molasses", he explains.
The coffee is once again supplied by cold brew masters Villa Myriam. This locally owned beanery gets its goods from the family farm in Columbia, where the beans are grown and sent to Albuquerque for roasting by David Certain, who, along with his brother Juan, makes up the Villa Myriam team. "Cold brew" refers to the coffee being steeped in cold water for up to 24 hours, resulting in a highly concentrated but less acidic coffee. The concentrate is then cut with water and, in this case, beer as well.
Brewmaster Josh secured a copious amount of Villa Myriam cold brew and blended different amounts of the coffee with stout. He then gathered brewery and office staff (because who knows coffee better than office people? Doesn't matter what they do, just the fact that the work in an office makes them experts) and had them taste each batch. The Goldilocks effect took place among the polled – this batch has too little coffee, this one too much, and finally this just right one, with 47 gallons of cold brew coffee mixed with 30 barrels of beer. Ladies and gentleman, Marble's 2017 Stout Americano.
People often wonder about the caffeine content in coffee beers. The Stout Americano only contains around 40 mg per pint. To put that into perspective: the same amount of tea has about 48 mg. That can of Diet Coke? 46 mg. A 12 oz. "tall" from America's best-known coffee company? Oh, only 240 mg. So don't spend any more restless nights worrying about restless nights from drinking Stout Americano. Perfect for breakfast, perfect as a nightcap. Beat that, Ovaltine!

Climatic drivers of hemispheric asymmetry in global patterns of ant species richness
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Although many taxa show a latitudinal gradient in richness, the relationship between latitude and species richness is often asymmetrical between the northern and southern hemispheres. Here we examine the latitudinal pattern of species richness across 1003 local ant assemblages. We find latitudinal asymmetry, with southern hemisphere sites being more diverse than northern hemisphere sites. Most of this asymmetry could be explained statistically by differences in contemporary climate. Local ant species richness was positively associated with temperature, but negatively (although weakly) associated with temperature range and precipitation. After contemporary climate was accounted for, a modest difference in diversity between hemispheres persisted, suggesting that factors other than contemporary climate contributed to the hemispherical asymmetry. The most parsimonious explanation for this remaining asymmetry is that greater climate change since the Eocene in the northern than in the southern hemisphere has led to more extinctions in the northern hemisphere.

Four-time U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Sanya Richards-Ross has signed on for a new WE tv original docu-series, entitled "Sanya's Glam & Gold." Premiering Thursday, July 25th at 10pm ET/PT, the show will follow the track superstar's fast-paced life and high-profile marriage to NFL star Aaron Ross (who's won two Super Bowl Championships).
The show was filmed primarily in Austin, Texas, which serves as the homebase for the couple who met in college at the University of Texas and married in 2010. Speaking about the show in a WE tv press release, Sanya said,
"I'm so thrilled to have this opportunity to open up my life and marriage to viewers and to introduce them to my incredibly supportive, and let's be honest, sometimes-crazy family.
I hope that in addition to being entertained by my journey since my victories last summer at the Olympic games, viewers will also identify with the challenges I face—and that all modern women face—to balance work, family, a husband and everything else life throws our way. There's never a dull moment and things can sometimes get out of control, but I wouldn't have it any other way!"
Outside of Texas, the show also filmed in Jacksonville, Florida, New York City and Jamaica. The show is helmed by executive producers Jason Carbone (Tia & Tamara, Run's House) and Nick Lee (Run's House, The Bachelorette).

ART Team
Assisted Reproduction
Tackling fertility problems often begins with drugs to induce ovulation, or the surgical correction of structural abnormalities. However not all couples fertility problems can be resolved in these ways. If this is the case, you and your partner, may have to consider more advanced treatments, which are known as Assisted Reproductive Technologies or ART. For some couples, assisted reproduction technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) are the only treatment option. IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are the most commonly used ART procedures.
The precondition for IVF treatment is that good quality egg cells can be obtained from the woman and that suitable sperm cells are present in the man. As the womans age increases, the quality of the egg cells decreases. Despite advances in the area of fertility, nothing can be done about the quality of egg cells. In contrast there is much greater opportunities for obtaining sperm cells from the man and, using the ICSI technique (injection of sperm into the egg), egg cells can still be fertilized with very few sperm cells. However if there are no (longer) any suitable egg cells, then egg cell donation, among other things, can be considered. If there are no (suitable) sperm cells, then donor sperm can be considered.
Although there are no guarantees with advanced infertility treatments, the success rates are encouraging. This section gives you more information about advanced infertility treatments such as IVF and ICSI, but also about IUI, egg and sperm donation and surrogacy.
ART Review
In its broadest sense, the term Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) refers to any treatment intended to improve the chances of a pregnancy for couples with reduced fertility. In day-to-day practice, ART is reserved for those interventions in which fertilization is aided by bringing the egg and the sperm closer together such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in which fertilization occurs outside the body in the laboratory such as with in vitro fertilization (IVF) sometimes combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This section provides an overview of ART procedures.

text: Through out the book I ended up with questions. They were not answered. I figure this could be considered good or bad depending how you look at it. The bad comes from finishing a book and walking away from it with questions.The good, I could possibly be motivated to read more and find the answers to my questions. The problem there is I doubt how ambitious I would actually be.

LithotripsyThis is a surgical procedure that is most helpful in removing the hardened masses (stones) that sometimes form, such as kidney stones, bezoars or gallstones by breaking them into smaller pieces. This method of stone removal from the body is mostly performed with the use of shock-waves in order to break the larger stone-pieces into smaller pieces so as to facilitate their removal from the body through the passage from bodily fluids mostly. The extra-corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most widely-used stone removal method today.
Need for LithotripsyA lithotripsy procedure may be useful for a person suffering from a kidney stone that causes intense pain and blocks the flow of the urine. Stones that are medium-sized (from 4-20 mm) are more likely to be treated successfully with an ESWL treatment method. This procedure is most effective in removing the stones that are located inside the kidney or are in a part if the ureter close to the kidney, in which case the surgeon pushes the external stone back inside the kidney using a ureteroscope in order to destroy it using ESWL.
Lithotripsy procedureExtra-corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a form of treatment method that is most useful in removing medium-sized stones that occur in the body such as the kidney stones, gallstones or bezoars with the use of high-intensity shock-waves to break down the large-stones into smaller granules that can then be passed out from the body with the urine. This is a non-invasive method of treatment and requires no form of anesthesia as there is any need for an incision. The doctor will require you to lie down on a water-filled cushion and use x-ray imaging (or ultrasound) techniques to locate the stone precisely. The next step involves aiming high-energy sound waves at the stone from outside the body using a specialized device. This allows the doctor to destruct the stone into smaller pieces without causing any additional damage to the healthy organs or tissues in the region. These smaller pieces can easily pass out from the body with normal urinary functions. This is around an hour-long procedure and is performed as an outpatient procedure without the need for a prolonged hospital stay. In case you have a larger-sized stone the doctor will likely use a stent (short, small tube of plastic mesh) on order to hold the ureter open. This stent is helpful in allowing the small stone to pass through the ureter without getting clogged. The extra-corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure is an ideal form of treatment for removing medium-sized stones from the body using an efficient and convenient non-invasive surgical method.
Risks of LithotripsyComplications of an ESWL may include:
- Pain caused by passing stone fragments through the ureter
- Ureter may get blocked by accumulation of stone fragments meant to pass out from the body through the urine
- UTI (urinary tract infection)
- Bleeding outside the kidney

A cord representing members of the BTHS Equine Club is available for graduating seniors to purchase.
The Equine Club cords are tri-color: Chestnut, Black, and Green. Founding member Alli Caves assisted in the selection of the club cords that will represent BTHS Equine Club graduates for years to come. Why these three colors?
All horses genetically begin as chestnut or black in color. For this reason, a black cord and a chestnut cord were selected to represent the Equine Club. All other horse colors, patterns, and coat variations come from either a chestnut or a black genetic foundation. Chestnut derived patterns and colors never have black and black patterns and colors do not have chestnut. Bays have an additional genetic coding combined with the black genetic code.
Why the green? This color represents fields forever green for both the horse and the human! The BTHS Equine Club subscribes to natural care and keeping of horses. Vast acreage that allows for horses to move freely may prevent the negative physical and mental impact often associated with equine confinement. While overconsumption of green grass can also be problematic for a horse, the green cord is meant to symbolize freedom, tranquility, and abundance for our horse friends and for our graduating seniors! Congratulations to the BTHS class of 2016!
Pictured here is club sponor, Mrs. Besley, with 2015-16 graduating senior, Alli Caves. Alli will receive the first issue of BTHS Equine Club cords. Thank you, Alli, for assisting in the selection of this meaningful trio of colors to help celebrate the human & the horse! Best wishes to you as the first Equine Club graduate!

Case Study
TCDRS: Retirement System Launches Inspired Solutions
For more than 40 years, the Texas County & District Retirement System (TCDRS) has been a model for providing reliable retirement benefits. In this unique retirement system, participating counties and districts have the flexibility and local control to choose and change their retirement plan benefits to suit their needs and budgets. Employers and employees save together for those future benefits, and the system is structured so that all promised benefits are responsibly funded.
As a public retirement system with more than 655 participating employers and 247,000 members, TCDRS faces multiple challenges – its responsibility to support employer compliance with all state and federal regulations applicable to public retirement plans, its commitment to provide each participating employer with plan decision support unique to its retirement plan and budgetary considerations, and meet the self-service expectations of the growing employee and retiree membership for services in line with their financial institutions. TCDRS strategically re-imagined how a public retirement system would conduct business and instituted a multi-phase, multi-year project to make the vision a reality. It needed a software solution that was as unique as their system.

We identified dysregulated miRNAs in KD coronary arteries, and tested sera from KD patients and febrile controls for cardiovascular miRNAs using 2 methods. We did not identify cardiovascular miRNAs diagnostic for KD; our results may help guide future studies of potential miRNA biomarkers for KD.

Tosh is back with Torchwood in Big Finish! From last months brilliant escapade in Victorian London, to this months adventure in the wastelands of Russia; Big Finish likes to be diverse and it's doing that right here. Will Zone 10 be a cool release, or will it deserve to die in the wastelands alone?
They call it "Pulse" – a radio signal which has puzzled the world for 40 years. But now Toshiko Sato has solved it.
She's uncovered a message which leads her to Russia, and into an uneasy alliance with the KVI – the Russian equivalent of Torchwood. Toshiko needs to get into Zone 10 – a frozen wasteland which officially doesn't exist.
An intergalactic war was once fought in Zone 10. And it turns out there's a survivor.
It's great that Naoko Mori has agreed to come back into the world of Torchwood for Big Finish; in my opinion Toshiko Sato was the unsung genius of Torchwood Cardiff, she was the quieter and more introverted member of a rather loud and extroverted team, I think that giving Tosh the spotlight once again is a genius move by both Big Finish and David Llewellyn as it means we get to see just how independent she can be.
After the titles, which are back to normal this month, both the listener and Tosh are introduced to Maxim Ivanov, a man who seems to like comparing Tosh to his ex-wife. If initial impressions are anything to go by, I'd bet that Maxim is a somewhat bumbling guy who has a soft spot for Miss Sato, but as I'm writing this part of the review, we've only just met him, so I could be wrong. I guess we'll find out together…
The information that we learn about the KVI, the Russian equivalent to Torchwood (if you read the synopsis you'd already know that), and Torchwood's relationship has been rocky in the past, especially during the Cold War; which is understandable really.
One of the most intriguing things about Zone 10 to me, is the fact that is seemingly harks back to the events of The Conspiracy and Uncanny Valley, helping to give the impression that these Torchwood releases are in fact all connected in some way.
I have to credit David Llewellyn for drawing some amazing parallels between Torchwood the the KVI, things that most people could consider small, unimportant things that are actually quite significant if you're a die had Woodie. One example of this is that Gwen discovered Torchwood through pretending to be a pizza delivery; and the KVI's ground floor is actually a pizza shack. Now, this could just be a total coincidence, but it's an interesting detail all the same and goes to show just how carefully the writers of Big Finish plan things out.
When I downloaded Zone 10, I had no idea just how much the story would seemingly follow on from the events of The Conspiracy and Uncanny Valley, and it's clear to me that David Llewellyn clearly has his own story to tell with Big Finish's Torchwood releases; every single one of the stories he's penned thus far have all interlinked, and it's fascinating and truly compelling to listen to.
Zone 10 seems to be the Russian Area 51, a place that's totally restricted for completely unknown reasons but with rumoured alien affiliation; of course that's where our Torchwood agent has to go. When Tosh goes to Zone 10 though, she can't be alone and she needs a guide; of course it's going to be Maxim, the man who can't let Tosh out of his sight.
To me, there's something quite charming about the relationship and dynamic by Zone 10's two leads; Tosh and Maxim are a great pairing, they're not the same person with different voices though, they're both definitely their own characters. Tosh is quite clearly a scientist hungry to understand as much as possible, whereas Maxim is clearly a man on a mission which just happens to involve Miss Sato.
When Toshiko and Maxim finally enter Zone 10, it's learnt that Tosh has this underlying feeling that it was destiny or fate that brought her here, like she always knew that the Pulse was meant for her. Personally, I thought that it was quite out of character, as Tosh is a purely scientific mind; from my experience with scientists, (and believe me I know, I live with a student biomedical scientist) the idea of fate is a concept that doesn't sit right. In scientific minds, every effect has to have a cause that led it to there, the idea of fate being the thing that lies in between cause and effect just doesn't compute.
One thing I was very happy with was just how timey-wimey parts of Zone 10 were; I'm an absolute sucker for when the very notion of time is used to effect in science fiction, especially in shows like Doctor Who and Torchwood; y'see, people assume that time is linear etc, etc… Another thing I love is how the use of the timey-wimeyness is related to Tosh, and the story harks back to projects that she was working on in the TV show and was even mentioned in The Stolen Earth and Journey's End.
Approximately half way into the story, we're introduced to Anna Volokova, an astronaut whom hardly anyone knows about. When it transpires that Anna is a woman who is out of her time, Toshiko is way more than just sympathetic to her. Just after we are acquainted with Anna though, her discovery is overshadowed by some classic double crossing and a test of morals and allegiances. For an hour long story, this might be the most ambitious Torchwood story that Big Finish have produced so far, and I have to admit it pays off.
The closing third of the story starts with a deadly game of cat and mouse in the snow; we then get some of the most poignant and personal moments that we've ever had in any Torchwood release; we learn so much about Toshiko as a person instead as a member of Torchwood Cardiff. We also get to hear just how jealous both Maxim and Anna are of people whose lives don't just revolve around working all of the time.
During the closing few minutes of Zone 10, there's a lot of revelations and new questions are seemingly brought to the forefront which I don't want to spoil to anyone who hasn't listened to the release yet, so I won't talk about any of it, all I can say is that the ending actually brought a tear to my eye, something that very rarely happens. All I will say is that David Llewellyn's epic story doesn't seem anywhere near done yet, and I have my suspicions how both he and Big Finish may make the conclusion extra special…
Overall, Zone 10 is a great story that is fast paced enough to keep you engaged and fully invested in the plot, but peppered with slower, much more intimate and personal moments that really help you understand the characters and their motivations. This story even has a bootstrap paradox…
