|Eastern Weyr: Upper East Bowl
|Alara offers Kaskan a hand and shares a bit of history.
Tall and still gangly from adolescent growth, Alara moves with the cautious precision of the naturally clumsy. Her hair is dark, dark brown, a stark contrast to her almost unhealthily pale skin. Her eyes are a pale, watery sort of grey, but they sometimes seem to pull hue from the colors around them. Her face has nice elements individually, but together they seem…somehow out of proportion. Her jaw is just a little too masculine, her cheekbones just a little too high, her nose just a little too large, her lips just a little too full. It's not enough to say she's ugly, but definitely not beautiful by any stretch.
In celebration of the occasion, Alara has dressed up. Wearing a shimmering sleeveless dress of royal blue that sheaths her frame, the Weyrwoman looks the picture of elegance. She carries a long, thin wrap of the same color and often wears it wrapped around her shoulders, especially as evening falls. Her shoes are shod in flat, black polished shoes that seem to sparkle as much as the rest of her ensemble. —25 turns
Thick wisps of ebony fall in half-hazard lengths to shadow rugged features, over-long layers typically in disarray as they feather pale blue eyes, flare about his ears and tickle the nape of his neck. Full lips precede a square-ish jaw, which often bears a dusky shadow of its own. Scars from too many fights mar what would be a handsome visage, most notably one that splices across his left brow stopping just short of his eye. A slight hitch ends his left ear in an oddly curved shape, though it's usually hidden beneath his hair. Darkly intense, his bearing is defensive and watchful, wiry muscles having filled out to create a solid, sturdy frame. Not overly tall, he is a grounded, immovable rock - just as thickly guarded on the inside as he is thickly muscled on the outside - a deceptive impression that suits him well for the panther quick grace that's displayed when he's on the move. —19 turns
Eastern Weyr: Upper Bowl East
The eastern section of the upper bowl is flat. Compared to the rest of this bowl, it's almost polished. The smell of grass seed and dragon oil permeates the air here, occasionally joined by the sweet scent of timothy hay. On the far eastern wall is the entrance to the beast caverns, surrounded by the strong wooden fencing that sections off the Feeding Pens. Further north, the weyrling barracks are nestled into the northeast corner; the whole area is a constant haze of activity. Most of the cross-bowl traffic is further west of here, kept centered by the uneven lay of that ground. Because of that, this area is a popular spot for those who want to spend free time lounging in the sun or taking a meal outdoors. To the south is a large lake.
Not quite afternoon anymore. Not quite dinnertime yet. An expectant sort of buzz hangs over the weyr as most prepare to make the transition from daily activities to evening relaxation. One such individual is in the bowl, removed from the most frequent lines of traffic as he brushes down two patient runners. Buckets and rags as well as brushes and limp sacks sit on the ground around the trio. The sand is dark beneath the animals, their coats gleaming from their recent wash and still dripping here and there. As for Kaskan, he hums softly to himself as he runs a stiff brush down the elegant neck of the darker runner.
Far enough away from the pens to attempt to prevent the beasts from running, Rauzath wings down, her red-gold wings catching the evening lights. She settles easily onto the ground, and lowers her neck to let her rider down from her seat astride. "Thank you, luv." Alara whispers, and pats the side of the dragon's neck with a quick love pat. She spots the man brushing the runners down, and chuckles at his industry. "It looks like you have a bit of a task for yourself, there, sir." She moves toward them, loosening her hair from her riding helmet. "Could you use an extra hand?" A stable hand she is not, but she does know how to care for runners.
If Kaskan didn't notice the queen's arrival on his own the nervous rustling of the runners would have given it away. More used to the dragons than most of their kind they don't panic, but shift their weight and sidestep enough to draw their caretaker's attention. Giving his chin a toss to clear his vision of over-long bangs he looks over his shoulder, brush pausing even as he lays his other palm on the dark brown flank and murmurs gentle reassurances under his breath. At the weyrwoman's offer dark brows arch, surprised by the offer. Appreciative but wary of such a ranked person deigning to such manual labor he gives his head a nod toward a bucket with supplies sitting nearby. "T'other could use a shining, if you've the mind to give'r a try, ma'am," he replies, lips lifting at the corner. The clipped lilt of his native Crom slips into his speech, different from the usual southern drawl he tries to maintain.
Alara nods, and reaches for the brush to shine the runner's coat. "I offered as much, didn't I?" She does notice the accent; one cannot be both the child of harpers and a weyrwoman without noticing these things. Or it's possible, but not probable. She begins to brush, and purses her lips. "You're from the same area as our Rio, aren't you?" She's heard hints of the gossip, but doesn't credit it much at all. Could all be lies. Rauzath, for her part, curls up into as small of a ball as a huge queen dragon can, and attempts to soak up the last bits of sun before it fades away.
The brush stills in Kaskan's hand, his pale blue gaze darting sidelong to the weyrwoman. One second. Two seconds. The brush renews it's downward motion and Kaskan tilts his head just enough to take advantage of swaying locks to partially obscure his expression. "Yes, ma'am," he answers in a neutral tone. Inwardly he braces himself, unsure what to expect. The usual defensive caution spikes, but then is softened somewhat by the knowledge that she must know of Rio's past and yet Rio was allowed to stand and is obviously well-liked.
Alara does know of Rio's background. At least the bare-bones of it that sped around the dragonlinks, and what Rauzath's ferreted out from dragons who were near, or heard. She does not count the gossip for much, though, having learned the hard way that her understanding of what filters through the links is often wrong. Just ask Ahnika. She nods. "We at Eastern pride ourselves on being a home for those who cannot … find a home elsewhere." She gives a wry smile. "Myself included, to be honsest."
"Oh?" is Kaskan's non-commital response. Her statement gives him much food for thought, the strokes of the brush in his hand becoming rote as his thoughts wander. Not knowing exactly how much she knows of his and Rio's past he opts for drawing out hers as a distraction. "You?" The lighter runner bobs her head, turning to whuffle at the woman brushing her side. Kaskan pauses to swipe the back of his hand across his brow and roll it in gesture toward the lumpy sacks on the ground. "If she gets pushy there's some redfruit over there you can give'r."
Alara says, "Aye." It's only the work of a moment for Alara to adapt her speech patterns to match his; she uses a trick learned at her Harper father's knee. "My mother is a papercrafter, as progressive as they come, and my da is one of Master Gally's most Traditional subordinates. Before the split, they worked it out, and ignored it for the most part. When things got rough outside the house, they became nearly unbearable inside it. She left him to go work with the paperers, but …." She shrugs, reaching down to grab a fruit for herself and one for the runner. The runner's gets given as a matter of course, even though the beast was not 'gettin' pushy.' She's spoiling her."
Kaskan moves down the runner's flanks, sliding the brush over one of it's strong, slender legs. "Do you still talk to them?" he asks, thoughts turning inadvertently to his own long-lost family. The political conflicts are noted but still being mulled, his own leanings having been affected already by his stay in the south.
"From time to time, yes." Alara says, brushing the runner's hide, more for something to do than actual need. "Not very often, though." She winces slightly, hoping the younger man won't see her discomfort. "It's very difficult to speak to either of them. They're proud of me, but there is an underlying tension present in every conversation that makes it a challenge to exchange more than simple pleasantries." She cocks her head, as though listening, for indeed she is, and chuckles self-deprecatingly. "My apologies. I do not remember your name. I believe I might have spoken to you, but I cannot be certain." She frowns. "It is not due to anything about yourself. It is more an issue with the time of Turn it is, and how distracted I am slowly becoming." She says more about herself than she intends in that sentence, but if the man's been around the Weyr for much time at all, it won't be too much of a surprise.
Kaskan straightens and pauses, her comments eliciting a thoughtful expression limned in pain. He'd hoped to make his parents proud one day. Now… now they probably don't even speak of him for fear of reprisals. He shouldn't be surprised at her admission, knowing Rio's situation, but somehow he can't help it. Ranked and Blooded individuals lead gilded lives. It's an automatic inbred assumption. But dragons don't care about human agendas. They choose who they choose.
A small start turns him about when she asks his name, his attention whipping back to the present with a sting of chagrin. Taking a few steps to the runner's head he runs a hand over it's muzzle and the other along it's neck. Looking more clearly to Alara he offers a white-toothed smile that contrasts his tanned complexion and haze of stubble. "Kaskan," he tells her. "We met briefly in the bar once. You were distracted then as well but offered assistance if I needed it. That seems to be a habit of yours." His smile tilts slightly, grazing flirtatious. "A complimentary habit, I might add."
A few more strokes, a bit more banter, and the two part ways for the evening.
FADE TO BLACK….. for now.

Understanding and valuing your customers will help you to improve the quality and level of service you provide to your customers. Listening to your customers can help you identify any issues you may have not been aware of and address any concerns your customers may have. This can also help you to plan for the future, develop new products and maintain relationships.
The best way to understand your customers is to put yourself in their shoes, this will allow you to look at your business in an objective way and highlight any areas that need improving. Your customers are the lifeline of your business and without them your business will not be able to survive. It is worth considering conducting regular surveys and requesting feedback on how you can improve your business. You can also ask for feedback on different areas of your business such as your website, products, services, customers and their overall experience and ask how your service can be improved.
Having a forum gives you the opportunity to converse and discuss different topics around your business and sector. This can help with establishing your profile, building new relationships and reassuring customers they are valued. Another way you can engage with your customers is via telephone or on a face to face basis, which is a simple but effective way of communicating. By meeting and talking to your customers you will be able to discuss what is working and not working well for your business.
Utilising web analytical tools such as Google analytics, Buffer and Mint can provide you with valuable information on how your customers use your website. You will be able to understand how many people have visited your website, the duration, their location, what areas of your website were used and any issues customers may have faced. This information will allow you to amend your website in accordance to how customers engage with your website.
Looking after your customers will make them feel appreciated and valued which can assist with customer retention. Retain your existing customers is important as if you can get this right you will not have to work as hard to attract new ones. It has been shown that if you do not value your customers they may leave and potentially go to your competitors.
A good way of showing customers how much they are really valued is by offering a loyalty scheme which can be a paid or a free service. The scheme should offer promotions and discounts on products and services. It would be beneficial in highlighting how much money customers will save as a result of being a part of the scheme. It is also worth considering running regular competitions, give aways, promotions and flash sales. This is a perfect opportunity to show your customers how much they are valued.

Monster Cake
Mixing just enough moldy-muck and goop-gas to bake a tasty cake, two friends wonder at the magic that turns four fourths into one full cup. Their lively banter and frantic measuring make fractional math fun and accessible. Adorably monstrous, with one horn, seven eyes, and two tails between them, the pair use clocks, cups, and spoons to add in quarters, halves, and wholes while anticipating the arrival of a crowd of surprising monster guests.

How the Best Laid Plans Can Cut Cat Losses [Infographic]
May 26, 2014| Von Mike Griffin | Property | English
The hurricane season is here, and it's time to make sure you have an effective catastrophe plan in place. A good Cat plan translates into satisfied customers, fewer complaints and better retention levels. Going deeper, it also means reduced bad faith exposure, plus better control over indemnity and expense levels.
The best plans ensure that the necessary resources are readily available to handle a high volume of claims and are quick to put into action. Insurers' planned responses vary depending on different factors, such as size and claims staffing model.
Our infographic below lists 37 critical areas for planning and assessment - before, during and after an event - that can transform Cat claims handling right across the board.
To learn more about the steps you can take, from forecasting claim volumes to closed file reviews, read our June edition of Property Matters. Remember, actions you take before, during and after a Cat event will ultimately influence loss ratios.

Climate Change and Individual Action

May 30th webinar will address creating a healthy community for inclusion of people with disabilities
"Healthy Communities: An Assessment and Implementation Framework to Achieve Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities" is the topic of a live webinar being held on Tuesday, May 30, from 10 to 11:15 a.m. The Oregon Office on Disability and Health in partnership with the Oregon Public Health Association's Disability Section and PSU/OHSU's School of Public Health is hosting this event. Continuing Education Units are pending.
Persons with disability experience higher rates of chronic disease and less participation in healthy behaviors that help prevent or manage such conditions. Healthy community initiatives that focus on improvements to the built, programmatic and social environments to support healthy lifestyles, often do not integrate inclusion principals that enable persons with disability to reap the same benefits as other community members.
Data from the 2015 Oregon Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) have shown that people with disabilities are less likely to exercise. For example, only 67 percent of Oregonians with disabilities reported having exercised during the past month in comparison to 86 percent of Oregonians without disabilities. This is a significance difference given that the lack of exercise is associated with metabolic disorders such as overweight/obesity. Oregon BRFSS data also suggest that 71 percent of Oregonians with disabilities are at risk of obesity, while only 61 percent of non- disabled Oregonians are at risk.
Guest speakers include: Yochai Eisenberg, MUPP, Senior Research Specialist, Center on Health Promotion Research for Persons with Disabilities; Darrin Umbarger, Founder of Clearview Mediation and Disabilities Services, Pendleton OR; Mac Gillespie, Healthy Communities Coordinator, Benton County Health Dept. and Joseph Lowe, Program Analyst, Aging & People with Disabilities, DHS.
In this webinar, Eisenberg will describe the importance of recognizing persons with disability as a demographic group that experiences health disparities and introduce an assessment and implementation framework to drive public health action.
The Community Health Inclusion Index (CHII) is the first instrument to operationalize community health inclusion into a comprehensive assessment tool that can be used by public health professionals and community coalitions. They can examine the critical supports needed to improve healthy, active living among persons with disabilities. Eisenberg will highlight lessons learned from demonstration projects in Oregon and nationally that have utilized the CHII and best practices for successful implementation.
To participate, register on SurveyMonkey for the webinar. Registrants will receive a link to the webinar prior to May 30th. There will be live captioning provided during the webinar and the webinar will be archived for future viewing.
OAD's Legislative Awareness Day at State Capitol is June 1 at State Capitol
The Oregon Association of the Deaf (OAD) recognizes that Oregon's state legislators need to be better informed on the needs of Oregonians affected by hearing loss. On Thursday, June 1st, the Oregon Association of the Deaf will hold a Deaf, Deaf-Blind, DeafPlus and Hard of Hearing Legislative Awareness Day at the State Capitol in Salem.
The OAD needs the deaf and people with hearing loss to share their "need" for service and send the message to the legislature that it recognizes the various needs in the community. The group will gather at the front step at the State Capitol, 900 Court Street N.E., in Salem.
An OAD goal during this legislative assembly is to have a permanent Office of Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing Services created in Oregon. Supporters want the Senate and the House to pass the bill and send it to the governor. Over 186,117 Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing Oregonians need support through social services.
To learn more, visit the OAD website. OAD's work is to promote, protect, and preserve the civil rights, and advocate to enhance the quality of life for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Oregonians. The organization was created in the early 1920s and was originally named the Oregon Association for the Advancement of the Deaf.

Photographer Ricky Darko documents the young men of Kumasi in This Is Africa
PUBLISHED: 08:00 04 May 2017
Ricky Darko Photography 2017
Ricky Darko returned to his birthplace of Ghana to photograph young men around Independence Day
In March, Ghana celebrated 60 years of independence from British Colonial rule, and photographer Ricky Darko was there to document it.
"The feeling around Independence Day in Ghana is very proud and honoured," he says. "I love Ghana, it brings back a lot of memories from my childhood and I still have family there so it is my second home."
Moving to London at the age of three, Darko still lives in Islington, but decided to return to Ghana in honour of Independence Day and his 30th birthday.
He spent his time photographing young local men of a similar age to him, with professions ranging from carpenters, welders and stone masons to taxi drivers, culminating in his project This Is Africa.
"A really enjoyable moment for me is when one of my subjects, Amos, a welder in Kumasi, yelled out: "Ricky, are you taking me to London?" By this he meant, will his photograph be featured and shown to people in London? Thankfully this happened and his request came true."
A self taught photographer, Darko began on his first camera in 2013 while working full time in the City. The following year, he quit his job and pursued it as a career, taking on commercial clients including Timberland and the BAFTAs.
But This Is Africa was a personal pursuit.
"When I arrived in Ghana I spent a few days introducing myself to people and businesses in the hope that they would be willing to participate in my project. I wanted to find men of a similar age to me to photograph them in their working environments as I'm a huge fan of environmental portraiture.
"I built a connection with each of the men to discover their backgrounds and how they developed into their careers. Some were not able to read and write but inherited their skills through family. I met each of the subjects at their work location at sunrise ready to start the day.
"Their attitude to life was so thankful and blessed; they worked so hard and such long hours in the hot weather but never complained."
Darko undertook the project to find out what sort of job opportunities were available for men of his age in Ghana.
"My passion lies in creativity," he says. "If I was still living in Ghana I would probably be pursuing a different type of career but still working with people, such as a teacher, which is what my Grandfather worked as for 35 years."

Sacramento, CA…Senator Ted Gaines' (R-Rocklin) second bill relating to the illegal fire tax (Senate Bill 125) today failed to receive enough votes to pass out of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water.
"For the second time in two weeks, my legislation attempting to 'make right' the very wrong fire tax has failed in Committee," said Senator Gaines. "Constituents from across the state have voiced their strong opposition to this fire tax and it's incredibly unfortunate that the legislature has not responded appropriately to their pleas."
Senate Bill 125 would have exempted a property owner of a structure that is located both within a "State Responsibility Area" (SRA) as designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), and within the boundaries of a local fire protection district from having to pay the $150 tax.
While the bill conjured significant discussion among the Committee members, it wasn't enough to compel them to pass the legislation. Members did, however, express interest in continuing the dialogue and exploring future options for addressing concerns with the fire fee and its myriad related issues.
"I will not give up the fight and vow to continue efforts to ensure this ridiculous fire tax is overturned," said Senator Gaines. "I support the two fire tax repeal bills on the Assembly side that have made their way out of Committee and hope they find a better fate than my legislative efforts."
Assembly Bill 23 by Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-Twin Peaks) and Assembly Bill 124 by Assemblyman Mike Morrell (R-Rancho Cucamonga), seeking to overturn the $150 tax, passed out of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources this week. Both pieces of legislation will now head to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.
Senator Gaines also strongly supports the lawsuit filed last month against the state by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association challenging the fee on constitutional grounds.
Senator Ted Gaines represents the 1st Senate District, which includes all or parts of Alpine, El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra and Siskiyou counties.

I work at this little Assistant living place.
Everyone that comes there has
To wear a mask on their face.
Oblivious they are to what's really going on.
My friends the elderly getting sick it won't be long.
People die of the flu every year.
Coded 19 strikes a lot of fear.
Stimulus checks they are a lot of help.
But they aren't sent with a lot of heartfelt.
How much more will the American people stand.
Wildfires burning over across the land.
The worst pandemic covid-19 worldwide infection.
It will all end after this year's election.

Kendall Jenner's Plan to Beat Her Sisters
The Kardashian sisters have some rivals on the horizon, and they come from very, very close to home. Kendall Jenner, the girl who we all watched grow up in the shadows of Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, went on a date with One Direction's Harry Styles on Wednesday — a clear message to her sisters to watch out.
Just think about it, we've known Kendall and Kylie Jenner's names since they were just eight and 10 years old. They grew up to be absolutely gorgeous and will have long careers ahead of them. Kendall's already gotten her's started with modeling and Kendall contributed to their nail polish collection, so she's getting a paycheck most likely, as well. And at 17 and 15, the Jenners are already household names (for the most part). For comparison, the Kardashian sisters didn't become famous until they were well into their twenties, thanks to Kim's friendship with Paris Hilton and of course, her sex tape.
It took Kim a while to start dating notable people, too. She had to work her way up the rungs of athletes until landing Reggie Bush, only to fall all the way back down to Kris Humphries before her triumphant union with Kanye West — a megastar rapper who's always being talked about. Khloe has never dated anyone on that level, and Kourtney locked Scott down before all the fame really started.
But here's Kendall, who just turned 18 and is already dating one of the most eligible guys in the world. Hundreds of thousands of girls are unhealthily obsessed with Styles, but Jenner nabbed him — at least for a dinner. Kylie is doing well for herself too, taking time between selfies to date Jaden Smith, whose father will make him a star no matter what it takes.
Of course, that's something Will Smith has in common in with Kendall and Kylie's mom, Kris Jenner. Who do you think let the paparazzi know that Kendall was at dinner with Harry?
Kim may be Kris Jenner's favorite daughter for now, but she might be surpassed in the next few years. Kendall and Kylie have done their time as the background characters of their family and are almost ready to usher in the next era of Kardashian—Jenner. Sorry, Bruce.

Petition: End the Secrecy Surrounding the Use of British Drones
The Ely Amnesty International Group have been learning about the use of drones in warfare. During our last meeting, we discussed the below petition and invited members and supporters of the Ely AI group to read through the below text and add their support by following the link below:
The petition:
"Since June 2008, UK forces have carried out around 300 airstrikes in Afghanistan using armed unmanned aerial vehicles (commonly known as drones), controlled from thousands of miles away. Although there is some public information about US drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, there is almost no public information about drone strikes carried out by the UK in Afghanistan.
There are serious ethical, moral and legal questions about the growing use of armed drones which need to be properly debated. However, it is impossible to have such a debate while information is being kept secret. At the very least, it seems that public discussion is being controlled."
We call on the UK government to end the secrecy surrounding the use of British drones in Afghanistan and to release all necessary information for a proper public debate. This should include the reasons for individual drone strikes and the number of people killed.
Find out more and add your support here.

Created 09-27-2017 03:22 PM
Hi team,
I have 3 node HDFS cluster with replication factor as 1. I have copied 10GB file in to HDFS with "dfs hdfs -put" command then it was divided into 86 blocks of 128MB each. But all these 86 blocks were stored in one data node. Is it common behaviour?
I expected it to be distribute all 86 blocks across all 3 nodes?
Is there any configuration to do this distribution?
Created 09-28-2017 08:06 AM
Yes this is default behavior (if you're placing the file from within a data node). You can have them distributed by issuing hadoop fs -put command from a client that isn't running DataNode.
According to docs:
* The replica placement strategy is that if the writer is on a datanode, * the 1st replica is placed on the local machine, * otherwise a random datanode. The 2nd replica is placed on a datanode * that is on a different rack. The 3rd replica is placed on a datanode * which is on the same rack as the first replica.

I was born in Belleville, Illinois. In case you have never heard of Belleville (and I'm guessing you probably haven't), it is located in the southern-most tip of Illinois and is a bridge away from St. Louis, Missouri. My mom grew up in Belleville, my parents met there, and we spent parts of our summer and Christmas breaks there when we were kids. Belleville for me is lots of happy memories with grandparents, uncles, cousins, and neighbors. It makes me think of afternoon bowling, lightning bugs, dollar movies in the cool old theater and potato salad.
Meat and potatoes is what you eat when you're in the midwest, and since my mom grew up there, it's what she does best. I can remember one Christmas at my grandparents house I had strep throat. I couldn't play with my cousins and couldn't eat for days. When I was finally feeling better my mom asked me what I wanted to eat. I told her, "beef and rice!," which is my mom's really awesome version of stewed beef. Comfort food at its best.
I made it last night and served it over egg noodles (we already had rice a time or two this week) and it was cozy and happy and awesome.
Cut your stew meat into bite size pieces and dredge through flour. Shake off the excess.
Then brown the meat in a non-stick skillet or dutch oven- Your pan needs to be sort of deep to hold all the gravy.
Once the meat is nicely browned, add a package of beef stew seasoning mix
And then add about 3 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 or 40 minutes. You'll be glad you did. I promise.
Mom's Stew Beef
1 pound stew meat cut into bite size pieces (here's a tip- you need about a package of seasoning for every pound of meat)
1 cup of flour
1 tablespoon oil
black pepper to taste
1 package beef stew seasoning
3 cups of water
To Make
Evenly coat the pieces of beef with the flour and shake off the excess. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, sprinkle the beef with black pepper and then brown over medium high heat. Add the beef stew seasoning and three cups of water. Stir until the seasoning is dissolved and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low or medium low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occassionally. The longer you cook, the more tender it will be, and you can add a little more water if you feel like the gravy has gotten too thick. Serve over brown or white rice, or mashed potatoes, or egg noodles, or WHATEVER- it will be really good no matter how you eat it. Thank you, Momma.

Block Head
Planting finished over a month ago, but the residue lingers. Tendonitis in my right wrist, for instance, flares any time I so much as touch a tennis racquet. For a while I had a terribly imbalanced tan (dark upper body, pasty bottom half), but August's sun cured that. I still catch myself considering a price tag in terms of trees—a tank of gas is a bag-up, rent is a good day's wage. These effects come and go, but the deepest stain from my five-month planting season has been neurological: my brain is tough as a callous.

After some careful consideration, Shane has decided to extend an invitation to a Gold Star mother, wife or daughter of a fallen Marine.
"After listening to the Star Major explain that the Marine Corps ball is about honoring the Marines and the rich heritage of the Marines, I thought what better way to do so, than to honor a wife, daughter or mother of a Marine that has made the ultimate sacrifice. All expenses will be covered and I encourage other Marines whom don't have dates to follow suit."
The cocktail hour will begin at 6:00pm PST, followed by the ceremony at 7:00pm PST.

My Invitation to the 240th Marine Corps Ball:
Shane Kruchten is a former Lance Corporal in the United Stated Marine Corps. He was just 17 years old when he joined the Marine Corps and celebrated his 18th birthday while serving during the invasion of Iraq. Shane has honored the 19 brothers in his battalion, who have made the ultimate sacrifice, by having their names tattooed on his back. He believes in giving back to fellow military veterans by doing speaking engagements, reaching out and touching base with fellow warriors when in need and helping veterans train in the Mixed Martial Arts at his gym. Because he endured problems with drugs and alcohol upon returning home from battle, Shane has made it a priority to help other veterans battling addiction. He is always looking for ways to help the military community and believes this is one more step in his very blessed journey. Helping those who he served with as well as those who have sacrificed everything so he could be here today, will always be at the top of his list.
