"Now remember, girls," cried Alexia, rushing at the toilet table to bestow frantic twitches at the fluffy waves of hair over her forehead, "that we must applaud the very minute that she gets through singing. Oh dear me, just look at my bangs; they are perfect frights. Hateful things!" with another pull at the offending locks.
"It's a swell house," exclaimed one of the girls delightedly.
"Just let Miss Salisbury catch you saying 'swell,'" warned Alexia. "Take care now, Sally Moore, this is a very proper and select occasion."
"Well, do let some of us have that glass a minute," retorted Sally, "and mend your manners before you take occasion to correct my speech."
"My bangs are worse than yours, Sally," cried another girl, crowding up; "do let me get one corner of that glass," trying to achieve a view of her head over Alexia's shoulder.
Alexia calmly picked at the fluffy bunch of hair on her brow, giving it a little quirk before she said, "Don't fight, girls; it quite spoils one's looks; I never do when I'm dressed up."
"Of course not," said Sally Moore, "for you get everything you want without fighting."
"The idea!" exclaimed Alexia, with an injured expression, "when I never have my own way. Why, I give up and give up the whole time to somebody. Well, never mind; let's talk about the Recital. Oh, it's going to be quite elegant for Polly Pepper. There's a regular society cram in the Hall."
"Well, I don't think 'society cram' is a bit better than a 'swell affair,'" said Clem Forsythe, slipping out of her opera cloak.
"Nor I either," cried three or four voices.
"Oh, I don't object to 'swell affair' myself," said Alexia; "I have used the words on more than one occasion, unless my memory is treacherous. I only wanted to spare Miss Salisbury's nerves."
"Pity you didn't give more attention to Miss Salisbury's nerves five or six years ago," said Sally. "Do get away from that glass."
"It's no time to talk about me now," observed Alexia. "All our minds should be on Polly, and her Recital. Girls, did you see Jack Loughead down at the door?"
"Didn't we?" cried the girls.
"He's as handsome as a picture, isn't he?" cried Alexia, with another little pull at her rebellious hair.
"Isn't he?" hummed the girls.
"Well, he won't look at you, for all your fussing over those bangs," said Sally vindictively.
"Did you suppose I thought he would?" cried Alexia coolly. "Why, it's Polly Pepper, everybody knows, that brings him here."
"What's become of Mr. Bayley?" asked one of the girls suddenly.
"Hush--sh! you mustn't ask," cried Alexia mysteriously, and turning away from the mirror, with a lingering movement; "there, it looks shockingly, but it is as good as I can fix it."
"Your hair always does look perfectly horrid," declared Sally Moore, deftly slipping into the vacated place.
"Well, do tell all you know about Mr. Bayley and Polly," begged the girl who had raised the question, "I'm just dying to know."
"Alexia Rhys doesn't know a thing more than we do, Frances," said Clem, "only she pretends she's in the secret."
"I was down at Dunraven at the Christmas splurge," said Alexia, "and you were not, Clem. That's all I shall say," and she leisurely disposed herself in a big chair, and began to draw on her gloves, with the air of one who could reveal volumes were she so disposed.
"Polly wouldn't ever send him off," said one of the girls, "I don't believe. Why, he's horribly rich; and just think of marrying into the Bayley family--oh my!"
"I should think the shock of being asked to enter that family, would kill any girl, to begin with," said Clem. "Why, he goes back to William the Conqueror, doesn't he? And there's an earl in the family, and I don't know what else. And then beside, there's his mother; the idea of sitting opposite to her at the table every single day--oh dear me! I know I should drop my knife and fork and things, from pure fright."
"I'm sure I don't see why anybody is proud to have his family go back all the time," said Alexia Rhys; "for my part I should want to start things forward a little myself."
"Well, who does know anything about it, why Mr. Bayley has gone off suddenly?" demanded Frances.
"No one knows," said Clem.
Alexia hummed a tune provokingly.
"We all guess, and it's easy enough to guess the truth; but Polly won't ever let it out, so that's all there is about it."
"Well, now, girls," said Alexia suddenly, "we must remember what we promised each other."
"What do you mean?" asked Frances; "I didn't promise anything to anybody."
"You weren't with us when we promised, my dear," answered Alexia, "and I'll rise and explain. You see we don't any of us like that Charlotte Chatterton; not a single one of us. She's a perfect stick, I think."
"So do I," said another girl; "this is the way she walks." Thereupon followed a representation given to the life, of Charlotte Chatterton's method of getting her long figure over the ground, which brought subdued peals of laughter from the girls looking on.
"And she has no more feeling than an oyster," pursued Alexia, when she had recovered her breath, "or she might see that Polly was just giving up all her fun and ours too, by dragging her into everything that is going on."
"I know it," said the girls.
"And I'm so sick of her taking in everything so as a matter of course," observed Alexia; "oh! she's quite an old sponge."
"It's bad enough to be called an oyster, without having old sponge fastened to one," said Sally Moore, coming away from the mirror, thereby occasioning another rush for that useful dressing-room appointment.
"Well, she is both of those very things," declared Alexia, "nevertheless we must applaud her dreadfully when she's finished singing. That's what we promised each other, Frances. It will please Polly, you know."
"You better hurry, or you will lose your seats," announced a friendly voice in the doorway, which had the effect to send the whole bevy out as precipitately as they had hurried in.
When she was quite sure that no one remained, Charlotte Chatterton shook herself free from the friendly portiere-folds, and stepped to the center of the deserted room.
"I'll not sing one note!" she declared, standing tall, "not one single note!" Just then, in ran Amy Loughead.
"Oh dear, and oh dear!"
"What is the matter?" asked Charlotte, not moving.
"Oh, I'm so frightened," gasped Amy, shivering from head to foot, "there are so many people in there, oh--oh! I can't play!" beating her hands together in terror.
"You must," said Charlotte unsympathizingly.
"I can't--I can't. Oh, I shall die! The hall is full, and they keep coming in. Oh--Miss Pepper!"
For Polly, in her soft white gown, was coming quickly into the dressing-room.
"Your hands are just as cold as ice," said Polly, gathering up Amy's shaking little palms into her own. "There now, we'll see if we can't coax them into playing order," rubbing them between her own warm ones.
"Oh, I can feel all those people's eyes staring through me," cried Amy, huddling up against Polly.
"You mustn't think of their eyes, child," laughed Polly. But there was a little white line around her mouth. Just then a messenger came in with a note.
"Any answer?" asked Polly. "Oh, stay; I would better read it before you go." And she tore it open.
"I am so sorry that I cannot keep my engagement to play the duet with Miss Porter, but the doctor has just been here, and he says I must not go out. I should have written this morning that I had a sore throat, but I thought I could manage to go. I'm so sorry--oh, Miss Pepper, I'm so sorry!
The note fell to Polly's lap, and for a minute she could not speak. "There is no answer," at last she said to the messenger.
"Oh, Miss Pepper, what is it?" cried Amy Loughead, brought out of her own fright, by the dread of a new trouble.
"Julia Anderson is sick and cannot be here," said Polly.
"Oh, dear! and she was going to play with Miss Porter. What will you do?" cried Amy in consternation.
"Why, I shall have to take her place," said Polly, forcing herself to speak.
"Oh, dear--dear!" exclaimed Amy, trying not to burst into tears. "Everything is just as bad and horrid as it can be. Oh, dear, dear, and I can't play; I should disgrace you!"
"Oh, no, no, Amy," said Polly, trying to smile, "that you'll never do." She threw the note on the floor now, and began to rub the cold little hands again.
"But--but, I'm so frightened," gasped Amy.
Charlotte Chatterton walked to the window.
"I may be a stick, and an oyster, and an old sponge, and everybody wish me out of the way, but I'm not such a villain as to bother her now by telling her I won't sing. If they only won't applaud!" She shut her teeth tightly, and turned back again.
"I wouldn't, Miss Loughead," she began. But her voice sounded cold and unsympathetic, and Amy clung to Polly tighter than ever.
Ben now looked in. "Come, Polly," he said. "You really ought to be out here, and it's almost three o'clock."
Amy gave a gasp. "What shall I do?"
"You may stay in here, if you really wish," said Polly in a low voice, Charlotte Chatterton looking on with all her eyes, "and I will excuse you."
"And will--will you be disappointed in me?" Amy brought out the question shamefacedly.
"Very much," said Polly.
"And will you never try me again--and never give me music lessons?" asked Amy fearfully.
"I do not seem to teach you successfully," said Polly very slowly, "so it would be no use to continue the lessons." And she put aside the clinging hands. "You may stay here, Amy; I am coming, Ben," looking over at him.
"I'll play," cried Amy Loughead desperately. "I'd rather, oh, dear me, if they were bears and gorillas looking on--and I just know I shall die--but I'd rather, Miss Pepper, than to have you give me up."
Charlotte Chatterton drew a long breath.
"What's the matter?" asked Ben in dismay.
"Miss Loughead was a little scared, I believe," said Charlotte, with a touch of scorn in her manner.
Ben gave an uneasy exclamation. "Everything seems to be all right now," he said, in a relieved way, looking off at Polly and Amy.
"Oh, yes; a scare don't amount to much if one has a mind to put it down," said Charlotte.
"I should think you'd be scared," said Ben, looking at her admiringly, "to stand up and sing before all those people. But I suppose you never are; you don't seem to mind things like the rest of us."
Charlotte shrugged her shoulders, but said nothing.
"We are all ready," said Polly cheerfully coming up with Amy. "Oh, Charlotte, you are such a comfort," she found time to whisper.
Charlotte clasped her hands tightly together so that an ominous rent appeared in one of her pretty gloves. "I'll sing," she kept saying to herself all the way out to the platform, "oh, I'll sing--I'll sing." And later on, while looking down into the eyes of the girls waiting to applaud, "I'll sing--I'll sing," she had to declare to herself till her name was announced.
As the last note died away, "Who is that girl?" went around the hall. Charlotte Chatterton had made a sensation.
Alexia Rhys, angry at the effect of the song, still clapped steadily together her soft-gloved hands, looking at Polly with the air of a martyr all the while.
"Charlotte--oh, I'm glad!" whispered Polly radiantly, "they want you to sing again," trying to pull her forward, as the storm of applause went on.
"I'll not sing!" cried Charlotte passionately. "Never! Don't ask it, Polly."
"Why, Charlotte!" implored Polly, astonished at the passion in the girl usually so cold and indifferent. Still the applause continued, Polly's set keeping at it like veterans.
Ben ran up the platform steps with shining eyes. "Grandpapa requests Charlotte to sing again," he whispered to Polly.
"There, you hear, Charlotte." said Polly. "Grandpapa wishes it."
"Very well," said Charlotte, resuming her ordinary manner, and looking as if it really made no difference to her whether she sang or was quiet, she walked to her place.
Polly slipped back of the piano, and began the accompaniment, and again Charlotte's singing carried all by storm.
Polly, looking down into Jasper's face, saw him smile over to his father, and nod in a pleased surprise; and she was aghast to feel a faint little wish begin to grow in her heart, that Charlotte Chatterton had not been asked to sing.
"Of course Jasper is surprised, as he has never heard her sing," said Polly to herself, "and her voice is so beautiful in this big hall, oh, it's so very beautiful!" as Charlotte came back, apparently not hearing the expressions of delight that rang over the concert-room.
"That Chatterton girl will be all the rage now," whispered Alexia savagely to Clem who sat next to her. "Look at Mrs. Cabot. She has her 'I'll-take-you-up-and-patronize-you air' on, and I know she's making up her mind to give Charlotte a musicale."
Other people also, scattered here and there in the hall, were making up their minds to introduce Miss Chatterton to their friends; as a girl with such a wonderful voice, it would be quite worth one's while to bring out.
Polly, by this time, explaining to the audience, the failure of Miss Anderson to take her part in the duet, caught little ends of the whispers going on beneath her, such as "Perfectly exquisite." "Most wonderful range." "Shall certainly ask her to sing." And again she saw Jasper's beaming face, while Ben took no pains to conceal his delight. And she sat down to the piano mechanically, and began in a dazed way to help Miss Porter through with the duet that was to have been one of the finest things on the carefully prepared programme.
[Illustration: "FOR SHAME, POLLY, IF THE LITTLE BROWN HOUSE TEACHINGS ARE FORGOTTEN LIKE THIS"]
Suddenly, in the midst of a slow movement, Polly glanced down and caught her mother's eye.
"Polly," it said, just as plainly as if Mrs. Fisher had spoken, "is this my girl? For shame, if the Little Brown House teachings are forgotten like this."
Polly straightened up, sent Mamsie down a bright smile that made Mrs. Fisher nod, and flash back one in return, then bent all her energies to making that duet speak its message through the concert-room. People who had rather languished in their chairs, now gathered themselves up with fresh interest, and clapped their hands at the brilliant passages, and exclaimed over the ability of the music teacher who could change an apparent failure to such a glorious success. Everybody said it was wonderful; and when the duet was over, the house rang with the charming noise by which the gratified friends tried to express their delight. But Polly saw only Mamsie's eyes, filled with joy.
Meantime, Charlotte Chatterton had hurried out to the dressing-room, tossing on her walking things with a quick hand; and held fast for a minute as she crept out into the broad passage, by the duet now in full progress, she went softly down the stairs.
When it was all over, everybody crowded around Polly.
"Oh, Miss Pepper, your Recital is lovely! oh, how beautifully Miss Chatterton sang!" and,
"Oh, Miss Pepper, I am delighted with your pupils' progress; and what an exquisite voice Miss Chatterton has!"
And then it was, "Oh, it must have been so hard, Miss Pepper, for you to excuse Miss Anderson at the last minute; and we can't thank you enough for letting us hear Miss Chatterton sing."
"Oh, I shall fly crazy to hear them go on," cried Alexia to a little bunch of girls back of the crowd; "will nothing stop them?" wringing her hands angrily together. "It's all Chatterton, Chatterton now; and after Polly's magnificent playing too. Oh dear me, I knew it would be so!"
Polly turned, with a happy face, to pull Charlotte forward to hear the kind things. "Why, where"--
"Oh, she's gone home," answered Alexia, stepping forward hastily--"Hasn't she, girls?" appealing to them. "She must have; she went out like a shot. Don't, Polly, how can you?" she begged, turning back to twitch Polly's arm, "you've done enough, I should think."
"What did she run off for?" cried Jasper, scaling the platform steps. Polly glanced quickly up into his beaming face.
"Oh, Jasper, she has gone home--I couldn't help it," and her face fell.
He looked annoyed. "Never mind, Polly," he said, his brow clearing, "father wanted to introduce her to some friends, that's all. Well, and wasn't it a grand success, though!" and he beamed at her.
"Yes," said Polly, settling Amy's music with an unsteady hand.
"And Charlotte really surprised us all," he went on gaily. "Why, Polly, who would think that we have--or you rather, for you have done it all--the honor to bring out a nightingale! Here, let me do that for you." He was fairly bubbling over with delight, and as he essayed to take the music out of Polly's hand, he laughed again. "Dear me, how stupid I am," as a piece fluttered to the floor.
"And didn't Amy do nicely?" asked Polly beginning to feel a bit tired now.
"Yes, indeed," assented Jasper enthusiastically, as he recovered the piece. "Just splendidly! I didn't know she had so much music in her. Oh, here comes a horde of congratulations, Polly." He threw her the brightest of smiles as he moved to make way for a group of friends hurrying up to shower Polly with compliments, and every one had something delightful to add of Charlotte Chatterton's singing.
"Jasper couldn't help but be happy over Charlotte's singing," said Polly to herself, and looking after him, "it's so beautiful," as they came up.
"Where are you going, Polly?" called Alexia at last, when it was all over, and the janitor was closing the big outer door, as Polly ran ahead of the girls and down the long steps of The Exeter.
Polly turned and waved her music-roll at them for a reply.
"Now somebody is going to carry her off," grumbled Alexia; "hurry up, girls, let's see who it is." So they ran as lightly as Polly herself, after her, down the steps, only in time to see old Mr. King help her into the carriage with Mrs. Fisher and Phronsie, and drive rapidly off.
"Whatever in the world is the matter?" cried Alexia, running up to Jasper who was watching them speed away.
"Why, Polly thinks Charlotte is sick," explained Jasper, "because she went home before the Recital was out."
"Stuff and nonsense!" exclaimed Alexia angrily. "What is the matter with Polly, Jasper? She grows worse and worse. Why can't she let Charlotte Chatterton alone, pray tell. I, for one, should think mischief enough had been done by that girl."
"You should think mischief enough had been done by Charlotte?" repeated Jasper in astonishment. "I must say, Alexia, that I fail to understand you."
"To hear people praise to the very skies that Chatterton girl," cried Alexia in a passion--she was actually stamping her foot now--"oh, oh! why don't some of you say something?" she cried, appealing suddenly to the girls. "You all feel as I do about Polly's pushing forward that girl; and there you stand and make me do all the talking."
Jasper looked grave at once. "There is no occasion for any one to exert herself to talk over this," he said. "It is Polly's affair, and hers alone." He raised his hat to her, and to the rest of the group, and walked off.

To get your New Year off to a good start, we suggest you consider entering into restrictive employment agreements with key employees to protect your company's business and goodwill. If you already have such agreements, but they have not been reviewed recently, it is a good idea to have them reviewed now.
When litigating restrictive agreements, the side opposed to the agreement will always point out that "courts do not favor restrictive agreements because they constitute a restraint of trade." As a result, courts continue to revise what they believe is reasonable to enforce. In particular, the courts will look at the employer's legitimate business interest in seeking enforcement and will weigh that against an employee's right to seek employment in a free market economy. A restrictive agreement that may have been acceptable to a court five years ago may be rejected by a more modern court as being too restrictive.
The rules may be slightly different depending on the state of employment and your particular state's court decisions may need to be examined to ensure your restrictive covenants are in line with current decisions. This article will focus primarily on Indiana cases.
Elements of Agreements
The first determination needs to be whether the employment will be at-will or the employment will be for a specific duration. For the most part, the courts do not seem to be concerned with the length of the employment when it comes to enforcing the restrictive covenants.
Most of the litigation seems to concern non-compete agreements, a specific type of restrictive covenant. The courts continue to look at three main topics to determine whether the agreement is reasonable. Those are: 1) time; 2) area; and 3) activities. First, with regard to time, it is generally accepted that an agreement that lasts no more than two years after the employment relationship is terminated is reasonable. Although a longer period may be considered if the former employee is a principal of the company and is agreeing to stay out of that line of business when the company is sold, for a non-owner employee, two years seems to be the maximum amount of time. Nevertheless, if the company's business is highly competitive such that its customer base or goodwill does not extend beyond a year, courts will scrutinize (and perhaps not enforce) a two-year restriction in such circumstance. Second, with regard to the area, courts prefer that the employer have a narrowly defined geographic area from which the employee will be prohibited from working. Some courts insist that an employer has no legitimate business interest in enforcing an agreement in geographic areas where the employee did not work. It has determined to be outside the employer's legitimate interest when the employer itself is not doing business in a certain geographic area. For example, if an employer is regional, but insists on enforcing its non-compete agreement "throughout the world," it is extremely likely that the court will not enforce such a broad agreement. Third, the activities proscribed have been narrowed further by the courts. Courts have held that an employer does not have a legitimate business interest in keeping an employee who has worked as a sales person from being a janitor for a competitor. The theory is that the employee's skills and information gained as a sales person would have no benefit to him (or his new employer) as a janitor with a competitor. (Even though that is the example often used by attorneys litigating against a restrictive covenant, we have yet to see a case where a sales person has in fact sought to be a janitor elsewhere.) Regardless, courts seem to be more likely to enforce an agreement if the employer limits its application to performing similar duties for a competitor.
Another type of restrictive covenant is a non-solicitation provision. We often draft non-solicitation provisions in agreements and these are more likely to be enforced by a court than a non-compete agreement. A typical agreement would restrict an employee from soliciting fellow employees to leave their employment. The courts seem to be bothered by the idea of "corporate raiding," where a group of employees are solicited to work for a competitor. With regard to solicitation of customers, a court may be reluctant to enforce a non-solicitation agreement where the customers are not those who worked with the employee previously (i.e., restricting a large customer list against employees who had no contact with or information respecting those customers). Also, we have seen that some courts are reluctant to enforce the non-solicitation of customers with whom the employee has not had contact for several years.
We normally recommend that an employer also include a provision against the use of confidential information. (Note, however, that a company's failure to take reasonable steps to protect its confidential information may result in a court's refusal to grant it protection under trade secret laws.) Included in a confidentiality of information provision should be the requirement for the employee to return all company property, including data, upon termination of employment.
Other clauses which should be considered include a protective provision by which the employer advises in writing that its employee should not use confidential information concerning its former employers and disclosure of any non-compete agreements in effect from a former employer. We also suggest including a requirement that the employee notify the company of subsequent employment during the restrictive period. An agreement should include a provision for payment of attorney's fees and costs and the remedies which may be sought in enforcing the agreement. We suggest including which state's law should be applied in interpreting the agreement and we may even suggest including where the case may be initiated (we prefer Indiana). Finally, we recommend that the agreement be subject to review by the employee's legal counsel if the employee so chooses. It takes some of the equitable argument away from an employee if he is unable to claim that the agreement was "forced down his throat" without the opportunity to be reviewed by his own counsel.
Please let us know if we may be of assistance in drafting or reviewing restrictive employment agreements for you or your company.

The USAC National Midget race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway infield dirt track is already breaking records.
With two weeks remaining until the event begins, there are 109 drivers on the entry list. That number equals the record for a USAC-sanctioned Midget event when 109 entered the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ascot Park half-mile in Gardena, California.
The Driven 2 Save Lives BC39 will include a unique format that concludes with a 39-lap feature Sept. 6 in honor of noted dirt star Bryan Clauson, who died in 2016 in a Midget crash in Belleville, Kansas. The race is billed as the richest Midget racing event in recent history. The event will feature more than $70,000 in purse and incentives, including a $15,000 winner's purse -- the largest in Midget racing.
As previously announced, the national headliners are NASCAR stars Kyle Larson, Ricky Stenhouse and Christopher Bell. Current USAC National Championship points leader Logan Seavey will also be in attendance after making his ARCA and Truck Series debut in recent months.
The newest entries include those from four-time USAC feature winner Davey Ray, three-time USAC National Midget victor Zach Daum and North Carolina's Johnny Petrozelle, a regular with the USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series.
Previously announced entries The Clauson Marsahall Racing team's All-Star cast includes five drivers who've reached USAC National Midget victory lane in their careers. Tyler Courtney, Justin Grant and series rookie Zeb Wise have all won this season.
A cursory glance at the entry list reveals 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year Chase Briscoe, USAC Triple Crown champ Tracy Hines, two-time USAC National Sprint Car champ Brady Bacon and 2016 USAC National Midget champion Tanner Thorson.
Nine-time Indianapolis 500 starter Sarah Fisher will field a car for Dave Darland, the winningest USAC National Sprint Car driver of all-time. Reigning USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car owner champion Baldwin Brothers Racing will field C.J. Leary, a recent Indiana Sprint Week winner at Bloomington Speedway, in their familiar orange No. 5.
Twenty-two drivers on the entry list have raced to at least one victory in USAC's National Midget division, including Steve Buckwalter, Darland, Cottle, Daum, Courtney, Critter Malone, Hines, Wease, Grant, Stenhouse, Golobic, Bell, Thorson, Heydenreich, Coons, Ray, Wise, Kevin Thomas, Yeley, Seavey, Bacon and Boat.

Duff Sisters Won't Release 'Material Girl'
Haylie Duff tells MTV News her and sister Hilary's remake of Madonna's classic 'Material Girl' won't be released as a single, but will be featured in their new film 'Material Girls'. "The song's going to be in the movie, but we're not going to release it as a single," Haylie said. "There's no time to shoot a video … but we already recorded it, it'll be in the opening of the movie, and it'll be on a compilation coming out [(Lip Smackers Presents) 'Girl Next'], but not as a single."

When I was 10, I remember sitting one day at the end of a very long bench. Everyone else from my class was at the other end. It was a perfect picture of how I felt at the time: ostracized, unlikable, and basically no good.
Many similar instances occurred in the years that followed.
Not long ago, a friend at work told me, "You always seem so separate from the rest of us."
At that job, I really was different from everyone else. I had different values, a different perspective, and was going in a different direction in life.
My friend's comment brought to mind all those times I'd felt ostracized as a child and teen. I then felt driven to either hide my true self (since I was ashamed of who I was) or isolate myself.
What I had to learn was how to separate myself from that narrative—from the story I could so easily repeat forever about what everyone must think of me (my story about their stories about me).
You are powerless to change what others think. But the truth is it doesn't matter. If you can stop attaching to a narrative of ostracism, then the right path forward becomes strikingly obvious.
For example, I would often think: My boss and I can't see things the same way. I'm obviously unacceptable in this job.
I could have isolated and stewed perpetually over the unfairness and sadness of it all. But the right thing for me to do was obvious: show up each day eager to do my best, support my boss, and appreciate the opportunity to develop my skills.
I also often thought: My co-workers don't care about the things I care about; so they must not want to know me.
But in reality, we were all just people trying to figure out life. I wasn't like the others, but I still could have enjoyed their company.
When you attach to a narrative of ostracism, change becomes impossible. You're bound by what you perceive to be others' perceptions of you.
So how can you detach from the narrative?
- See that it's a narrative.
- Don't fight it. Don't try to force the story to change; just see how it fits within the larger story of what you truly want in life. That's when your path forward becomes obvious.
- That's it. 1-2 is all you need. Be grounded to reality by seeing your current narrative for what it is, and also how it maps to the bigger narrative of your deepest values, goals, dreams…


text: Johann 147 Posted September 2, 2016 Hi, i bought the White dwarf yesterday and now i own the slaughterpriest with hackblade. When i checked the warscroll, i noticed that there is a difference compared to the other slaughterpriest in the abilities 'scorn of sorcery'. With hackblade can explicite just ban one spell, the other can ban spells. It should be the same, because both are slaughterpriest... is it a huge difference or just a mistake from GW? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Sprague man who sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl has been ordered committed to a state psychiatric facility for up to 15 years.
A Sprague man who sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl has been ordered committed to a state psychiatric facility for up to 15 years.
Arthur Elliott, 20, was arrested in October 2011 and charged with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor in the attack on the child, which took place that August, authorities said.
Elliott was tried on March 28 by New London Superior Court Judge Susan Handy instead of a jury. Although Handy found that the prosecution proved he had committed the crime, she found him not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
On Wednesday, after a hearing, Handy committed Elliott to the care of the Psychiatric Security Review Board. At least at first, Elliott will be housed in the maximum security Whiting Forensic Institute at Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown.
Later, if his condition improves, he may move to a less restrictive facility, his lawyer, Kevin Barrs, said.
After Handy issued the commitment order, Elliott hugged family members who had come to the hearing to support him and was led away.
Robert Chase, a clinical social worker at Connecticut Valley Hospital, testified at the hearing that he and a team of experts had evaluated Elliott's condition. The team found that while he is psychologically stable while being cared for, if he were released from custody, he "would be a danger to himself or others."
Chase said Elliott has a developmental disorder as well as several other disorders, including post-traumatic stress and hyperactivity. He finds it difficult to control his emotions and to stop himself from acting impulsively.
Elliott has a lifelong history of mental problems that have been aggravated by abuse he received, Chase said.
"Mr. Elliott would require a period of guided treatment to manage his emotions and mature," Chase said.
He said Elliott has admitted his crime, but has been unwilling to talk about it with staff members.
Barrs said Elliott told him he refused to talk about the attack because he was mistakenly afraid it would lead to him returning to prison, and that Elliott is willing to talk about it now.

Two Down
Salt beef? Two feckless men attempt to complete a tabloid crossword in an old-school greasy spoon cafe in north east London.
Genre: Comedy
Length: 6:34
Free To View
Producer/s : Aneet Nijjar, Rolfin Nyhus
Director/s : Rolfin Nyhus,
Writer/s : Rolfin Nyhus,
Actor/s : Chris Anderson, Richard Winter
Hymn to the greasy spoon
And here is this little film's problem: everything is in place, but the lines are not actually funny, neither is the situation. We all know what makes us laugh, but defining humour per se has taxed the finest minds. Freud tried it, but as Ken Dodd said, he never played the Glasgow Empire. A serviceable definition is that humour comes when incongruous factors meet unexpectedly. There is little incongruous or unexpected here.
It threatens amusement when a lady hipster orders the Mediterranean platter that the café's owner has clearly never been required to assemble before, but this meeting opposites is not milked. Mispronouncing mangetout doesn't cut it.
It is a disappointment given the director Rolfin Nyhus's other recent short, the surreal allegory Hollow Pond. The two films could hardly be more different in ambition or style. Nyhus describes this as a "hymn to the greasy spoon café", which he loves. Maybe atmosphere was the way to go, not comedy, maybe he should have turned his directorial flair to making us smell the place, and forgotten about the stupid crossword…
The other thing about humour is that it's notoriously subjective. Two Down has been selected for several film festivals, so some people of taste and discernment have liked it. But to others, it's four characters in search of a funny script.

We don't own a television.
At least not one that works in the manner TVs are most commonly known to. We had one hooked up to a DVD player in order to watch movies now and again, or standout TV series like West Wing, Battlestar Gallactica, Firefly, Farscape, and Doctor Who. After the last move, we didn't bother with it; the laptop and Amazon work just as well for the infrequent times we want to watch something.
And now with Liam, our desire to protect him from media, to minimize his screen time, is made much easier without a television around. An article from this summer's Waldorf Parent/Child Education class suggested boredom was the catalyst for creativity. TV, movies, and video games, (screen entertainment) are often used to prevent boredom. And so, there goes the need for kids to get creative in their play, to be inventive and think up something to do. This is part of our reasoning in keeping Liam away from screens; we want him to develop his imagination. We want him to be able to entertain himself, and not rely on TV or video to do it.
When I was a teacher, and I revealed to my students each year that I didn't own a television, they were shocked. I repeatedly got the question, "What do you do?"
"Read" was my most frequent answer (I am an English teacher), or "Grade your papers," if I was feeling particularly snarky.
As Jim and I make our life together without a television the answer to that question, "What do you do?" has broadened. Now, on weekend days when, growing up, I might have been watching college football, or weekday nights, when I would have been taking in Prime Time, I find other ways to fill my time. I most definitely still read. But I also talk to my husband, care for my child, snuggle with the dog, pet the kitty, play cards, learn a martial art, bake, swing in the hammock, take a walk, write in my journal, talk on the phone, go for a hike, ride my bicycle, nap, clean house, email friends, do yard work, sew, work on a photo album for Liam, chat with the neighbors, even blog. Activities to keep me busy and productive or that let me relax and veg out seem to materialize. I rarely miss the easy, no-brainer, turn-on-the-TV option.
In a way it is ironic that we don't have a television. I watched a lot of TV growing up (and I like to think I turned out okay). I had a whole line-up after school, and certain nights of the week I couldn't miss. And I used to love commercials. As a kid I knew the jingles for so many ads, it's kind of embarrassing now to think about. However, in contrast to some of the research and anecdotal evidence that screen time currently detracts from family time (see the insightful book, Wired Child, by Richard Freed), back in the 80s my family truly bonded over television. Perhaps because watching it was a shared experience. My sister, and I watched the same soap operas, so we could discuss the love triangles and family scandals. We were invested in those characters on Guiding Light, As the World Turns, and, to a lesser degree, The Young and the Restless. Additionally, I can remember having heartfelt discussions with my mom after watching episodes of Judging Amy. Watching football and basketball games of the local university team was also a family past time. Those players became more than just jersey numbers; their performances became part of our family discourse, and we shared in their successes and losses.
It is weird to think that Liam won't have these same types of television experiences with us. But it's exciting to think about what experiences we might share instead that will help to bond us together as a family.

Ex-banker charged in $66 million investment scam is denied bail
A former Mexican banker accused of stealing $66 million from investors while living in San Antonio gave a judge his word Monday that he wouldn't skip bail if released from jail to await trial.
But U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo found Armando Jesus Hernandez Leal is a risk of flight after listening to an FBI agent testify that $40 million to $50 million are still unaccounted for and that Hernandez has "a hidden stash" somewhere.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Surovic also argued that Hernandez, a permanent resident, faces up to 20 years in prison and would be deported if convicted of wire fraud, giving him more reason to flee.
"It appears he does have the resources to flee," Primomo said, adding that he agreed the evidence is strong against Hernandez.
Hernandez, 53, was indicted last week, but has been in jail for a month since he was held in contempt in a state civil matter over the same incidents that led to his federal charge.
The FBI and IRS claim Hernandez, while acting as an investment broker here, took money from a Mexican businessman and his family to invest, and instead bought at least one jet, posh homes in Shavano Park, Canyon Lake and other parts of Texas, in Colorado and in Monterrey and Cancún in Mexico.
He has pleaded not guilty, but during his bail hearing, he offered little explanation for what he did with the millions of dollars he admitted — in an email to the victims — taking but never investing. Instead, in a statement he read to the judge, he said he has ties to the community, and urged Primomo to set bail so he could tend to debts and help his wife, Nancy, whom he said ails in health.
"I plan to face the truth," Hernandez said. "In order to do that, I plan to work with my lawyer on the facts and so they will be correctly presented."
He claimed that relatives helped him pay for several of his lawyers: "I don't have any resources I control, directly or indirectly or through a third party, in any part of the world."
His statements were in contrast to the testimony of FBI special agent Laura H. Sirles, who said agents found Hernandez had ties to at least one offshore account in Switzerland. And, she said a business associate of Hernandez was recorded saying that Hernandez "has a hidden stash."
Sirles said agents also have been tracking Nancy Hernandez, who has been removing items from their $865,000 Shavano Park home and a second home in Canyon Lake.
Additionally, Sirles testified that after being ordered by a state judge in a separate, but related, civil lawsuit to not dispose of any assets or large-ticket property, Hernandez collected $1.3 million from a loan in which he used the jet as collateral. He then sent $200,000 to a civil lawyer in Houston who sued the purported victims, and the remainder to a lawyer in Mexico representing Hernandez there.
Jeffrey Hiller, a lawyer representing the purported victims in the litigation, testified Monday that he believes the transfers violate the judge's order in the civil case.
Hernandez's defense lawyer, Alfonso Cabañas, tried unsuccessfully to sway Primomo. He said the feds " are throwing out numbers that are nothing more than allegations and speculations."

He removed the tape and raised the plastic and looked out into the morning, the cool wet breeze against his face. Where his father's truck should be there was nothing but a large brown puddle and something cold brushed against his back but he dismissed it. It certainly wasn't the first time he'd risen to an empty house. They were most likely sleeping it off at Terry's or Wanda's or somebody they met last night's house or in the truck on the side of the road or in a cell, depending on how ornery his father had gotten.
Tony had been in a good mood last night, and Travis had busted his ass mopping the diner's floors, so he allowed him to take a couple of country ham biscuits for breakfast. He stood at the sink and gnawed them, looking out the window on the bare back yard and into the grim pewter quiet of the woods beyond. The rain was gentle but persistent, the kind his uncle John called a 'good soakin rain.' The kind that eases into the ground without running off. The kind that is medicinal for crops and restless souls.
He left through the back door and sidestepped the holes in the porch and squished through the yard and dissolved into the trees, a silver apparition enveloped by rain and fog and forest. The hood of his sweatshirt was quickly soaked. It was warm enough, but he shook anyway. He knew this wasn't right but he also knew that he was tired of never having, of always wanting, always being the kid who borrowed or went without. Weaving through the woods along a path only he knew, deeper into the solemn flatlands, navigating a jumbled mess of pine and shepherd's purse and sandwort crowding and looming. Rain ran into his eyes and he felt the thighs of his jeans clinging to his skin. He stopped to scan behind him, listening for footfalls through the numb pattering of the rain. Satisfied he was still alone, he pressed on.
The creek appeared soon enough, a thin crystal serpent sliding down a gradual slope toward his destination. The rain tickled its surface and Travis smiled the smile of a boy with a secret. This was his thing, scary and bubbling with dark promise and desperation. A dozen more soggy steps, and there it was. In a clearing no bigger than the barren kitchen he'd left half an hour ago grew the only hope Travis had ever known.
It had caused hell when the four plants had disappeared off of the back porch. His parents had gone at each other like wild starving dogs, each accusing the other of selling them off in hard growls through bared teeth. His mother being a sow and his father a reed, it was a fair match physically and they threw one another around the house and out the door and across the front yard scratching and screaming until his mother's hand found a stray board and put it to the side of his father's head. He lay in the front yard, blood crawling across his cheek and nose and lips to seep into the sand, as she roared away in the truck. The man remained prone in that spot for nearly a day, stumbling to his feet the following afternoon and achieving the front porch before collapsing again, a crusty crimson spider gripping the side of his face. Travis wiped the blood away without waking him. At some point during the evening, he listened from his room as his mother dragged him back into the house and dropped his gaunt, limp body onto the floor like so much kindling.
The plants hadn't been sold. Yet. They were alive and well, thriving a half mile from the house under cover of other foliage, serenaded by the perpetual giggle of the stream he used to nourish them. He stared at them, four sentries, stalk straight and proud. He ran his hand over the leaves and wiped it on his jeans and did it again, like a father tousling his son's hair. He bent and inspected their bases, working each gently to ensure they were still firmly entrenched, having no cause except that it felt like the right thing to do. Not knowing a healthy marijuana plant from a turkey sandwich, he still liked the look of them.
"What you got there Travis?" From behind him, across the creek.
He sucked air and wheeled, the hot blue wire of panic singing in his chest. A stocky, red haired man in grey pants and a brown shirt with a silver star on it, holding a wide brim hat in his hands instead of using it to shield away the rain.
"Plants, Sheriff Johnson."
"Yep, looks like it. Plants."
"How did you…
"I followed you, son. It wasn't hard."
"But your car wasn't…"
"I pulled up as you were walking into the woods. You didn't hear me with that hood on."
The rain fell between them, slicing thin silver strips through that space and loosing whispers along the ground. Travis thought to run. He knew these woods and he was sure Sherriff Johnson didn't. There was something about the man that held him, a reluctant and tender thing in his eyes, an austerity in the way he held his hat in front of him, squeezing the brim with both of his glistening hands, a sincerity in the slump of his shoulders.
"Am I in trouble?"
The lawman was slow and deliberate in twisting his hat on. He stepped over the stream and stood beside Travis for a moment, taking a deep breath and looking out into the trees like he expected a voice from their midst. Then he bent and pulled the plants from the ground, one by one, and tossed them in the water. Travis watched them ride away, their roots waving goodbye as they bobbed down toward the PeeDee River.
"No, you ain't. Walk back up to the house with me. I need to talk to you about your mom and dad."
By the time they reached the front porch of the old shack, Sherriff Johnson was done. Travis wasn't surprised.
"How fast was he going when he hit the tree? Must've been rolling pretty good, if mama flew that far."
"We reckon bout sixty. And that's after rambling across thirty yards of pasture."
Travis sat down on the steps. The rain had shriveled to something like dank cobwebs hanging in the air. He was shocked at the silence when he removed his hood, like the whole world was waiting to hear what he would say next. The clouds sat like a slab of slate over the trees and Travis tried to figure out why he was so hurt. They were abhorrent wastes of carbon who did literally nothing for him save show him how to enslave himself to substances and bury the institution of marriage in an avalanche of screams and booze and smoke and whirring fists. They had never given a moment toward earning his tears, but there they were, mingling with the remnants of the rain.
He wiped them away and cleared his throat hard and asked the only question there was to ask. "What happens to me?"
Johnson's hat was back in his hands. He squatted to look Travis in the eyes. "Well, your Uncle John and Aunt Patrice are your godparents. They're good folks, Travis. Don't take offense, but you'd be a damn sight better off. If they will honor that commitment, you'll go and live with them."

Village Taipu, Brazil
Barra - State of Bahia, Brazil
Discovering Taipu de Fora beachA few years ago I stayed in this off the beaten path beach in Brazil called Taipu de Fora. From Bahia (Salvador), you have to take a local ferry, a local bus, and then a speedboat to get to the village of Barra Grande. Allow 1 day for travel. Barra is in the south coast of Bahia. Once you get to this quiet, small village, a local truck will take you into the village to the other side.
As our truck navigated over several potholes, I started to wonder what the heck we had got ourselves into. Everyone whom I had mentioned this beach to had no clue what I was talking about.
Finally we came upon a small clearing and our hotel - Village Taipu. A small, cute, no frills hotel, it had AC to shield us from the heat, a lovely hammock outside in the balcony and a comfortable bathroom and bed. From our room, you could see glimpses of the sea. You just had to walk a few steps and you'd soon be on the beach, with plenty of shade and chairs to relax in. Taipu de Fora has miles and miles of beaches framed by coconut palms with hardly any tourists in site. It was magical. We saw tide pools, rode horses and relaxed.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- "'Racist' gun range billboards in South Jersey should come down, activists say," a Tuesday Philly.com headline reads. "The range's owner disagrees."
The billboard for the South Jersey Shooting Club shows the silhouette of a soldier in a kneeling in an unsupported firing position, a basic marksmanship technique. Next to the soldier is the caption, "The only time we take a knee." That political position is supported by a lot of Americans, who have little sympathy or use for highly-rewarded athletes abusing their positions of privilege to express their political and social views.
Quotation marks in the headline notwithstanding, the intended point has been made. It's not OK to disagree with "progressives" and if you do, you're an extremist and a hater, especially if you make your views known. Only they're allowed to do that.
Not too many people thought of feigning indignation and then outrage until self-described "community organizer" and "Madam Secretary of NAACP of Camden County" MoNeke Ragsdale posted a photo of the billboard on her Twitter feed Monday with the notation:
"Please call! This billboard on Rt. 73 in Voorhees. Tell them this billboard is racist. Taking a knee is a protest to say NO to police brutality. The women of SJWPC are taking a knee to support black and brown people. Take it down!…"
Right. Disagreement is racist. Nothing the club could say would change any pre-closed minds. And curiously, if the intent is to protest "police brutality," the collectivists never seem to see the disconnect with one of their other key platforms, making sure that police are the "Only Ones" with guns.
But what's this "SJWPC" she speaks for?
That would be "South Jersey Women for Progressive Change, a group that formed after the 2016 presidential election to empower women," at least per the unquestioning Phily.com "reporter." Those who do question might wonder just who is empowering whom.
They keep who's behind them close to the vest, registering their website via a proxy. Still, they give hints on being able to know them by the company they keep, specifically through their recruitment of like "minds" via "Resistance Summer Community Cookouts," via a MoveOn.org Civic Action website. And while they in turn claim to be "a 501(c)(4) organization which primarily focuses on nonpartisan education" (as opposed to their political action arm), if you look at the fine print over at the bottom of the ResistSummer.com website, you'll see:
"Paid for by the Democratic National Committee…"
As for what the #TakeAKnee protest represents, why not go straight to the source, and revisit what the guy who started it all, GQ Magazine's "Citizen of the Year" Colin Kaepernick had to say about his actions at the time:
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."
That's not his only agenda. Per The Washington Times:
"The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata's Daughters, a Chicago 'direct action' resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster."
He's disrespecting the flag, disrespecting the country, and laying a damnable charge that some of us would argue is instead reflective of destructive collectivist policies. We would argue Democrat urban rule encourages social and economic marginalization and generational dependency in order to secure a voting demographic they can take for granted, and that's the true discrimination and oppression.
The other big lie is that the NFL protests are about "free speech." Nonsense. When you're at a company event on company time, you have no right to hijack things to impose your political views on others. Try it where you work if you don't believe me. And if you really want to see the league have no reservations about putting the squeeze on player rights, check out what's prohibited in its "Standard of Conduct" on guns:
"Possession of a gun or other weapon in any workplace setting, including but not limited to stadiums, team facilities, training camp, locker rooms, team planes, buses, parking lots, etc., or unlawful possession of a weapon outside of the workplace."
Bottom line, nothing the South Jersey Shooting Club does will satisfy leftists and the people complaining aren't going to join the club anyway. So why let them bully the club into taking down the sign?
I left a voicemail message with the club manager to find out who owns the billboard and if pressure is likely to sway them. No response at the time of this writing, but this article will be updated if I get a call back.

7 Golden Reasons to Adopt a Senior Dog
There are perks to adopting an older dog; here are just a few reasons why.
Just like wine and cheese, dogs get better with age. However, some people only want a dog while it's still young. Once the puppy grows up, they'd much rather start over again with a new pooch. That's why many loyal, loving and healthy senior dogs end up at a shelter. It's not their fault, so why should they have to wait for a forever home and family to love them just as they are?
Along with this fact, there is an array of reasons why you should consider adopting a senior dog. There are way too many to list here, so we're just going to focus on the top seven.
Senior dogs deserve to live the rest of their lives in a loving, caring home
They may have been dumped by an unappreciative owner, have had hard lives or been the victims of an unplanned event (like a move or a death), all circumstances that had nothing to do with them. But older dogs should be able to spend their final years with a family or person that will make them happy and comfortable.
Older dogs love the laid-back life
The golden years are meant to be spent relaxing on the couch. There's not as much pent-up energy in an older dog, which means there are fewer early morning, hour-long walks. He'll just want to chill on the couch and keep you company.
No puppy-related hazards or messes to deal with
You'll find fewer messes to step in with an older dog. On top of that, older dogs are less likely to chew on things they're not supposed to; they've already worked the destructive chewing behavior out of their systems. So go buy that new, expensive pair of designer shoes. They won't be your dog's chew toys.
Lifespan commitment
For people who don't know where they'll end up in a few years, an older dog is a wonderful way to get a doggy fix without the 15 year commitment. If you're elderly or don't want to be tied down for too long, a senior dog will fit into your life plans.
Older dogs fit into a household faster than a younger dog
Seniors know the drill. They already know how to belong to a pack and will roll with what the rest of the family is doing.
Old dogs can learn new tricks
Forget the old adage, it's just not true. Dogs learn good habits and new tricks throughout their lifetime. Keep your dog's mind sharp and his body in shape by teaching him new tricks and commands.
Older dogs are easier to train
In conjunction with our sixth reason is the fact that older dogs are much easier to train. That's because they're much more focused and calm than a puppy. And they probably come equipped with many years of previous training experience, so they will be able to pick up what you're saying and do what you want.

DescriptionThere are some topics that continue to be raised by managers that were not sufficiently addressed in the first and second edition of U.S. Forest Service General Technical Report GTR 220 "An Ecosystem Management Strategy for Sierran Mixed-Conifer Forests." All of them concern issues about where and when GTR 220 concepts apply and how these concepts relate to current management practices. The first section discusses the appropriate ecological conditions where GTR 220 concepts might be applied. The second section attempts to clarify the types and potential wildlife uses of defect trees in an effort to make them more recognizable in the field. The third section defines and distinguishes canopy cover and closure, an important distinction because some current management practices are focused on canopy cover targets. Some aspects of GTR 220 conditions, particularly localized wildlife habitat, may be better assessed with canopy closure. The final section examines the link between heterogeneity and ecosystem resilience, a core concept behind GTR 220's emphasis on increasing variability in managed forests. General Technical Report 220 is a conceptual framework for managing forests and intentionally lacks the specificity that practitioners might sometimes want. We hope that clarifying the following concepts may help elucidate the GTR's intent without constraining management options.

Doctor who had no name

- Language: English
Q: Why is it that Doctor Who is so-called?
Mrs R Johnston, Essex
A: Although the series is called Doctor Who, the leading character is only ever referred to as The Doctor in the programme. The name Doctor Who came about as the production team were trying to come up with an imaginative and catchy title for the series.
As they were thinking of possible words to follow Doctor, one member of the team murmured "Doctor Who" as he thought out loud. The producers decided to stick with this name. It gives the character a more mysterious air which is fitting with the science-fiction storylines of the programme.

AFTER being walloped by the Bulldogs 38-0 in Round 24, Dragons coach Paul McGregor tore strips off his finals-bound team to fire them up — and it worked.
Heading into Round 25 they had lost all but two of their last eight games, and McGregor was not seeing the enthusiasm he expected of a team about to play finals for the first time since 2015.
Their season was spiralling rapidly and McGregor knew he needed to do something to stop it.
Two days after the embarrassing loss at Jubilee Oval, McGregor walked into the video session and delivered one of the all-time sprays.
Get ready for cricket like never before. FREE Sport HD + Entertainment until the first 4K cricket ball as part of 3 months free on a 12 month plan. SIGN UP TODAY. T&Cs apply.
Foxsports.com.au understands McGregor's blow-up almost blew the roof off WIN Stadium in Wollongong.
After dishing out the hard truths, McGregor then told his players to take two days off work, to get away from football and think about how they wanted to end their 2018 NRL season.
"I know it really helped me because I was able to freshen up and get my head right, get my body right. It was what I needed," said fullback Matt Dufty, who had earlier asked his coach for a break and had been benched for the Bulldogs game.
"(McGregor) gave us a (verbal) beating but then he said we should all be excited, we're playing finals footy. He said go away and get yourself right for the game against Newcastle.
"It was good to just spend time with friends and family, get away from footy and get away from all the media. I didn't really use my phone, I just got away.
"It was good to get that balance because it's just been footy for 25 weeks and I know I needed that rest."
The Dragons responded, beating Newcastle 24-14 in the final game of the season, which set them up for a resounding 48-18 victory over the Broncos in last week's elimination final.
With their season back on track, the Dragons now face South Sydney in the do-or-die semi-final at ANZ Stadium on Saturday.
