Ganer Bateson is a character found in Breath of Fire II.
|Ganer Bateson
ガナー Ganaa (Ganer)
Role in Breath of Fire IIEdit
Ganer is a non-playable character who appears in Breath of Fire II. He is the father of both Ryu Bateson and Yua Bateson.
Before the events of the game, Ganer encounters Valerie when she arrives on the surface and enters his church in the town of Gate. Falling instantly in love, the two marry and have two children, Ryu and Yua. Shortly after Yua's birth, the town of Gate is attacked by demons from a weakened seal on the cave to Infinity. Ganer is distracted in battle with the demons and loses sight of Valerie, who ends up sacrifices her human form to reinforce the seals and stop the demons from coming through. Ganer, believing Valerie died in the attack, blames himself and thinks he was not strong enough to save her. Afterwards he continues to raise Ryu and Yua on his own.
At the start of the game, Yua runs off to see the dragon at the cave. Ganer sends Ryu after her, but follows behind and saves him when he is overwhelmed by a monster. Afterwards he leaves Ryu and takes Yua back with him to town.
When they arrive back to town, they discover that the townsfolk have been attacked by the demon Aruhamel. Ganer tells Yua to run while he fights the demon. Unfortunately he is defeated and captured, and all of the villagers memories of Ganer and his family are erased. Only Ryu (and presumably Yua) were spared from the mind erasing effects. This incident is also the event which ultimately sets Ryu on his path to leave Gate and investigate the strange happenings on the world.
Ryu and his friends encounter Ganer much later in the game at the Grand Church. The demons have forcibly connected Ganer to a machine that sends the prayers to Deathevan in the form of energy. If the player manages to destroy the Guardeye without harming Ganer, then he will be released from the machine and helps the party escape Grand Church before it explodes. However, if the player causes too much damage to Ganer during the battle, he will instead die.
Should Ganer be rescued, he will be taken to Township where he will volunteer to become the energy source to allow the town to fly. This will also determine which ending the player will receive after defeating the final boss.
Despite being a priest of St. Eva, Ganer is shown to be a very openminded to other religious ideas and philosophies, as evidenced when he prays at the dragon god altar with Valerie.

The Financially Confident Woman by Mary Hunt
Originally published in 1996, The Financially Confident Woman by Mary Hunt, is still as relevant today as it was then, if not more so. More and more women are working and are living alone, this guide is for women (though men could learn some too) in any stage of life.
Mary shares a bit from her background and urges the reader to learn from the mistakes that she made early on. I appreciate that she does this, it is nice to know that she has had her struggles and failures and life hasn't been an easy road for her (because it certainly hasn't been for me, either!)
She teaches the reader how to change bad habits and introduces good ones to adopt. Her book is easy to read and easy to understand.
She helps you prepare for today and also for the future.
I'm glad this was re-released, it is certain to help a generation of women who don't know where to start with their money issues.
This book was provided for review by Revell.

Here's what could drive gas prices higher
Gas prices across Iowa took a steep jump earlier this month, but weather far away from the Hawkeye state could be the catalyst for even higher summer prices.
Gregg Laskoski is a senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com. He said a holiday weekend like Memorial Day isn't the reason behind higher prices, it's a natural swing that occurs each spring.
According to the website, the average price for a gallon of gas across the U.S. is $3.66 a gallon. That's 17 cents higher than a month ago, but it's also a penny less than drivers were paying a year ago.
In the Des Moines metro area prices topped $4 per gallon last week and now are hovering around $3.88, according to AAA.
Laskoski said gas prices usually rise in the spring, stay fairly high in the summer, then start going down in October.
What could drive prices even higher this summer? Laskoski predicts an increase if there is a major hurricane in the Gulf Coast area.
NOAA is predicting an above average hurricane season this year. NOAA is predicting 13-20 named storms, 7-11 hurricanes, with possibly 3-6 of those hurricanes becoming a Category 3 storm or higher.

Senior Editor.
Context Few studies have attempted to quantify the effect of the epidemic of
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
on demand for health care in developing countries. More data are required
to improve understanding of its impact and to guide development of appropriate
response strategies.
Objective To assess the HIV/AIDS epidemic's impact on demand for inpatient hospital
care in a rural area of South Africa.
Design Retrospective analysis of data from general hospital and individual
ward admission registers, a tuberculosis program database, and patient case
Setting and Patients Patients admitted between 1991 and 1998 to a 450-bed hospital that serves
Hlabisa District, South Africa (population ≈200,000), where HIV seroprevalence
among antenatal clinic attendees increased from 4% in 1992 to 29% in 1998.
Main Outcome Measures Number of admissions to 9 hospital wards, number of clinical AIDS and
general medical admissions (both excluding tuberculosis), and number of tuberculosis
admissions to adult medical wards during the study period.
Results Total hospital admissions increased by 81%, from 6562 in 1991 to 11,872
in 1998. Adult tuberculosis ward admissions increased by 360%, from 303 to
1393. In 1998, tuberculosis patients accounted for 47% and 30% of adult male
and female medical ward admissions, respectively, and for 11% of total hospital
admissions. Nontuberculosis clinical AIDS cases increased 43-fold, accounting
for 4% of adult medical admissions in 1997 vs 0.2% in 1991. Tuberculosis and
nontuberculosis clinical AIDS cases were the only types of admission to show
a clear and consistent upward trend over the period studied. Patterns in other
types of admissions varied more and changes were smaller.
Conclusions The HIV/AIDS epidemic has had an important impact on demand for adult
tuberculosis and general medical care in a rural South African district hospital.
If this impact is shown to extend to other rural South African areas, response
strategies are urgently needed.

In Athens I earned a BA in History and an MEd from Ohio University and spent time training and teaching in a variety of settings. I have been teaching at SHS since January 2011.

For the last several years I have also acted as the Social Studies Department Chair.I never intended to be an "AP" teacher but found myself tasked with developing a number of AP courses at Sentinel. I believe that a rigorous course of study early in an academic career will lead to considerable gains in the future. I also believe that reducing the cost of college is of paramount importance and thus wholly endorse the AP program.Proffessional development and continuous learning is very important. To keep improving I serve as AP Reader for World History in the spring of each year.

Examination Day by Henry Slesar
Someone mentioned a short story to me the other day ("Prey" by Richard Matheson, which I recently reread in "I Am Legend" ) which I remembered reading in my senior english class. It got me thinking about this book I used to own "1001 Scary Stories" or something to that effect. It was a great book. And it reminded me of this short story from it that I read when I was about 12. And how much is disturbed me, even then.
Examination Day
by Henry Slesar
The Jordans never spoke of the exam, not until their son, Dickie, was twelve years old. It was on his birthday that Mrs Jordan first mentioned the subject in his presence, and the anxious manner of her speech caused her husband to answer sharply.
'Forget about it,' he said. 'He'll do all right.'
They were at breakfast table, and the boy looked up from his plate curiously. He was an alert-eyed youngster with flat blond hair and a quick, nervous manner. He didn't understand what the sudden tension was about, but he did know that today was his birthday, and he wanted harmony above all. Somewhere in the little apartment there were wrapped, beribboned packages waiting to be opened, and in the tiny wall-kitchen something warm and sweet was being prepared in the automatic stove. He wanted the day to be happy, and the moistness of his mother's eyes, the scowl on his father's face, spoiled the mood of fluttering expectation with which he had greeted the morning.
'What exam?' he asked.
His mother looked at the tablecloth. 'It's just a sort of Government Intelligence test they give children at the age of twelve. You'll be taking it next week. It's nothing to worry about.'
'You mean a test like in school?'
'Something like that,' his father said, getting up from the table. 'Go and read your comics, Dickie.' The boy rose and wandered towards that part of the living room which had been 'his' corner since infancy. He fingered the topmost comic of the stack, but seemed uninterested in the colourful squares of fast-paced action. He wandered towards the window, and peered gloomily at the veil of mist that shrouded the glass.
'Why did it have to rain today?' he said. 'Why couldn't it rain tomorrow?'
His father, now slumped into an armchair with the Government newspaper rattled the sheets in vexation. 'Because it just did, that's all. Rain makes the grass grow.'
'Why, Dad?'
'Because it does, that's all.'
Dickie puckered his brow. 'What makes it green, though? The grass?'
'Nobody knows,' his father snapped, then immediately regretted his abruptness.
Later in the day, it was birthday time again. His mother beamed as she handed over the gaily-coloured packages, and even his father managed a grin and a rumple-of-the-hair. He kissed his mother and shook hands gravely with his father. Then the birthday cake was brought forth, and the ceremonies concluded.
An hour later, seated by the window, he watched the sun force its way between the clouds.
'Dad,' he said, 'how far away is the sun?'
'Five thousand miles,' his father said.
Dickie sat at the breakfast table and again saw moisture in his mother's eyes. He didn't connect her tears with the exam until his father suddenly brought the subject to light again.
'Well, Dickie,' he said, with a manly frown, 'you've got an appointment today.'
'I know Dad. 1 hope –'
'Now, it's nothing to worry about. Thousands of children take this test every day. The Government wants to know how smart you are, Dickie. That's all there is to it.'
'I get good marks in school,' he said hesitantly.
'This is different. This is a – special kind of test. They give you this stuff to drink, you see, and then you go into a room where there's a sort of machine –'
'What stuff to drink?' Dickie said.
'It's nothing. It tastes like peppermint. It's just to make sure you answer the questions truthfully. Not that the Government thinks you won't tell the truth, but it makes sure.'
Dickie's face showed puzzlement, and a touch of fright. He looked at his mother, and she composed her face into a misty smile.
'Everything will be all right,' she said.
'Of course it will,' his father agreed. 'You're a good boy, Dickie; you'll make out fine. Then we'll come home and celebrate. All right?'
'Yes sir,' Dickie said.
They entered the Government Educational Building fifteen minutes before the appointed hour. They crossed the marble floors of the great pillared lobby, passed beneath an archway and entered an automatic lift that brought them to the fourth floor.
There was a young man wearing an insignia-less tunic, seated at a polished desk in front of Room 404. He held a clipboard in his hand, and he checked the list down to the Js and permitted the Jordans to enter.
The room was as cold and official as a courtroom, with long benches flanking metal tables. There were several fathers and sons already there, and a thin-lipped woman with cropped black hair was passing out sheets of paper.
Mr Jordan filled out the form, and returned it to the clerk. Then he told Dickie: 'It won't be long now. When they call your name, you just go through the doorway at the end of the room.' He indicated the portal with his finger.
A concealed loudspeaker crackled and called off the first name. Dickie saw a boy leave his father's side reluctantly and walk slowly towards the door.
At five minutes to eleven, they called the name of Jordan.
'Good luck, son,' his father said, without looking at him. 'I'll call for you when the test is over.'
Dickie walked to the door and turned the knob. The room inside was dim, and he could barely make out the features of the grey-tunicked attendant who greeted him.
'Sit down,' the man said softly. He indicated a high stool beside his desk. 'Your name's Richard Jordan?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Your classification number is 600-115. Drink this, Richard.'
He lifted a plastic cup from the desk and handed it to the boy. The liquid inside had the consistency of buttermilk, tasted only vaguely of the promised peppermint. Dickie downed it, and handed the man the empty cup.
He sat in silence, feeling drowsy, while the man wrote busily on a sheet of paper. Then the attendant looked at his watch, and rose to stand only inches from Dickie's face. He unclipped a penlike object from the pocket of his tunic, and flashed a tiny light into the boy's eyes.
'All right,' he said. 'Come with me, Richard.'
He led Dickie to the end of the room, where a single wooden armchair faced a multi-dialled computing machine. There was a microphone on the left arm of the chair, and when the boy sat down, he found its pinpoint head conveniently at his mouth.
'Now just relax, Richard. You'll be asked some questions, and you think them over carefully. Then give your answers into the microphone. The machine will take care of the rest.'
'Yes, sir.'
'I'll leave you alone now. Whenever you want to start, just say "ready" into the microphone.'
'Yes, sir.'
The man squeezed his shoulder, and left.
Dickie said, 'Ready.'
Lights appeared on the machine, and a mechanism whirred. A voice said: 'Complete this sequence. One, four, seven, ten . .
Mr and Mrs Jordan were in the living room, not speaking, not even speculating.
It was almost four o'clock when the telephone rang. The woman tried to reach it first, but her husband was quicker.
'Mr Jordan?'
The voice was clipped: a brisk, official voice.
'Yes, speaking.'
'This is the Government Educational Service. Your son, Richard M Jordan, Classification 600-115 has completed the Government examination. We regret to inform you that his intelligence quotient is above the Government regulation, according to Rule 84 Section 5 of the New Code.'
Across the room, the woman cried out, knowing nothing except the emotion she read on her husband's face.

I posted the story on it already, but I don't know if my story is actually good or not. And I'm not entirely sure what I want to do for the plot. The fanfiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12927391/1/Dragon-Warriors-Dark-Winds It'd be nice if I could get some suggestions for my story, I have no idea on what to do. (I'm also planning another one, but that one's another story) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apartment floor was uneven and needed to be smooth to lay flooring
Apply ToughDeck FR® to the floor to resurface
Aires Property Management located in Grove City, PA wanted to start using laminate flooring in the apartments they own, hoping it would last longer and they would not have to replace the carpet
with each new tenant. The concrete was too uneven and not smooth enough to lay the floor. To fix this problem, ToughDeck FR was used to create a smoother and more level surface so they could apply the new floor on top. The total project size was 200 sq ft and required 3 bags of ToughDeck FR and 4.5 gal of Bond. The customer decided to use ToughDeck FR because of its ease of use, durability, and longevity. This project was finished in less then two hours and the laminate flooring was applied the next day. The minimal prep work and fast dry time is a huge benefit for property managers that have tenants and require quick turn around times.
Key Points
- Quick Dry Times
- Superior Durability
- Ease of Use

eighty-four days, Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first Manolin had shared his bad luck, but after the fortieth day the boy's father tells his son to go on another boat. From that time on, Santiago works alone. Each morning he rows his skiff into the Gulf Stream where the big fish are. Each evening he comes back empty-handed.
On the eighty-fifth day Santiago rows out of the harbor before dawn. After leaving the smell of land behind him, he set his line. The line went straight down into the deep water. Later, with the aid of a hovering man-of-war bird, he sees a school of flying fish but is going too fast and too far away. The bird circles again and again and the old man sees a tuna which he hauls onto the skiff. Toward noon, a marlin starts nibbling on the line. The old man knew it is a big fish so he did not let go even when the fish is dragging him further out to sea. The fish injures Santiago: cut his cheek and hand and cramps his hand, but he did not let ...

An all-new trichology publication has hit the market, with a book that casts a global spotlight over the hairdressing and trichology industries and the inspiring stories of the people who inhabit them. Hairy Tales takes stories from 57 trichologists from 24 countries, who each tell their personal journeys in their hairdressing and trichology careers.
The book was launched in June at a trichology conference in Washington, DC and is an inspiring reading option for hairdressers, particularly those looking for the motivating push to propel them to the next venture or new phase in their career.
Stories range from tales from Kenya, to the UK, Singapore, Jamaica, USA, Canada, India, Nigeria, Brazil, South Africa, Trinidad, Argentina, Russia, Israel, Vietnam, Ireland, Bangladesh, the UAE, Latvia, Puerto Rica, our own Australia and many more. The writers share their own personal stories while talking from a scientific, educative and business sense, truly offering a global perspective of the industry, and making the book both entertaining and informative.
"Take advantage of every opportunity and be positive," came the advice in the book from Aussie representative Sue Erickson. "My career was varied and with each new job I learnt valuable new skills. Don't be afraid to say 'yes' even though you don't feel that you have the full skill-set for the job. I bluffed my way through many situations and made good."
This is a book to learn from and be inspired by – tying you to your reading nook to finish it thoroughly before motivating you to take action and heed its advice for the good of your own career. Get your hands on a copy.
The book can be ordered online for $75 at http://www.trichology.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=31 or by visiting the Education Materials header at www.trichology.edu.au

|Article. 1 - Whether memory is a part of prudence?
|Next »
Whether memory is a part of prudence?
Objection 1: It would seem that memory is not a part of prudence. For memory, as the Philosopher proves (De Memor. et Remin. i), is in the sensitive part of the soul: whereas prudence is in the rational part (Ethic. vi, 5). Therefore memory is not a part of prudence.
Objection 2: Further, prudence is acquired and perfected by experience, whereas memory is in us from nature. Therefore memory is not a part of prudence.
Objection 3: Further, memory regards the past, whereas prudence regards future matters of action, about which counsel is concerned, as stated in Ethic. vi, 2,7. Therefore memory is not a part of prudence.
On the contrary, Tully (De Invent. Rhet. ii, 53) places memory among the parts of prudence.
I answer that, Prudence regards contingent matters of action, as stated above (Q[47], A[5]). Now in such like matters a man can be directed, not by those things that are simply and necessarily true, but by those which occur in the majority of cases: because principles must be proportionate to their conclusions, and "like must be concluded from like" (Ethic. vi [*Anal. Post. i. 32]). But we need experience to discover what is true in the majority of cases: wherefore the Philosopher says (Ethic. ii, 1) that "intellectual virtue is engendered and fostered by experience and time." Now experience is the result of many memories as stated in Metaph. i, 1, and therefore prudence requires the memory of many things. Hence memory is fittingly accounted a part of prudence.
Reply to Objection 1: As stated above (Q[47], AA[3],6), prudence applies universal knowledge to particulars which are objects of sense: hence many things belonging to the sensitive faculties are requisite for prudence, and memory is one of them.
Reply to Objection 2: Just as aptitude for prudence is in our nature, while its perfection comes through practice or grace, so too, as Tully says in his Rhetoric [*Ad Herenn. de Arte Rhet. iii, 16,24], memory not only arises from nature, but is also aided by art and diligence.
There are four things whereby a man perfects his memory. First, when a man wishes to remember a thing, he should take some suitable yet somewhat unwonted illustration of it, since the unwonted strikes us more, and so makes a greater and stronger impression on the mind; the mind; and this explains why we remember better what we saw when we were children. Now the reason for the necessity of finding these illustrations or images, is that simple and spiritual impressions easily slip from the mind, unless they be tied as it were to some corporeal image, because human knowledge has a greater hold on sensible objects. For this reason memory is assigned to the sensitive part of the soul. Secondly, whatever a man wishes to retain in his memory he must carefully consider and set in order, so that he may pass easily from one memory to another. Hence the Philosopher says (De Memor. et Remin. ii): "Sometimes a place brings memories back to us: the reason being that we pass quickly from the one to the other." Thirdly, we must be anxious and earnest about the things we wish to remember, because the more a thing is impressed on the mind, the less it is liable to slip out of it. Wherefore Tully says in his Rhetoric [*Ad Herenn. de Arte Rhet. iii.] that "anxiety preserves the figures of images entire." Fourthly, we should often reflect on the things we wish to remember. Hence the Philosopher says (De Memoria i) that "reflection preserves memories," because as he remarks (De Memoria ii) "custom is a second nature": wherefore when we reflect on a thing frequently, we quickly call it to mind, through passing from one thing to another by a kind of natural order.
Reply to Objection 3: It behooves us to argue, as it were, about the future from the past; wherefore memory of the past is necessary in order to take good counsel for the future.

Canadian Bible Colleges are Disappearing at our Peril
How important is Christian education in building faith-persistent young people? At a recent Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) gathering I heard some interesting information on the subject.
In 1901 there were only 18 institutions of higher education in Canada. Today, there are many, with 96 universities and 1.8 million students.
By the 1930s only 15% of Canadians graduated from high school. This increased to 50% by the 1950s. Today, Canada ranks #1 among OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) nations with 53% of adults obtaining a university education.
In the midst of an increased emphasis on education in Canada, the Bible School movement took flight starting in 1885, battered through the Modernist Movement (early 1900s), plummeted in the sixties and is presently being choked of oxygen in the early 21st century. Some 340 Bible colleges have been established since 1894 with 75% of them established in Western Canada. Today, many have closed or have merged to survive in a climate where Christian parents question the relevancy and economics of sending their children. About 70 post-secondary religious training institutions exist in Canada which includes seminaries as well as Bible colleges.
Today, Christian institutions need to fund their school with higher tuitions than their secular counterparts. Nor is any public funding available. Christian schools on average depend 2.5 times more on tuition fees than secular schools. The result is fewer Christian schools and colleges exist at the start of the 21st century.
Today, less than 20,000 students attend Canadian post-secondary faith schools representing only 7% of all post-secondary students. An interesting and possibly comparable note is that evangelicals represent approximately 7.7% of the Canadian population.
This is all noteworthy in light of two major Canadian studies in 2010 and 2018 conducted by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and several other youth ministries.
|Hemorrhaging Faith Study
In 2010, the Hemorrhaging Faith study discovered that two in three high school students left the church or their faith during their years in post-secondary education. The numbers are staggering. (Go to the Hemorrhaging Faith study by clicking here.)
A few Western University professors admitted a liberal arts education is likely only necessary for about 15% of the jobs available in the marketplace. I'm not against university education; all my kids got at least one degree. I'm also not against education being a means for growth and shaping minds. But, if a university education's main purpose is not to prepare young adults (or young at heart) for the workplace, what is its main objective?
Some argue campuses have become places to pass along a new orthodoxy, new values, a secular public confession, rather than gain the training for a vocation. University education develops a worldview.
So, do evangelicals run for the hills? Do evangelicals vacate the "public square" like we did in the early 1920s and for much of the 20th century? We retrace this course of action at our own peril. My hope is the opposite happens. Evangelicals enter political office, remain teachers in the public system, write the local editor, join a political party, volunteer and advocate passionately for issues like poverty, homelessness, protection of the unborn, end of life access, creation stewardship, addiction, and other important causes. Evangelicals must engage and remain a cause for good and blessing in our communities.
|Renegotiating Faith Study
One last comment. In 2018, the Renegotiating Faith study discovered that students from evangelical backgrounds who attended at least one year of Bible college (or equivalent), enjoyed going to summer Christian camps as a teen, experienced a mentor in their life as a young person, and started attending a Christian ministry within 30 days of starting university, vastly increased their chances of faith-persistence. (Go to the Renegotiating Faith study by clicking here).
Christian parents need to either rethink where they send their kids for post-secondary education or seek to ensure their kids' faith journey is vitalized by helpful tools and practices so they might think Christianly amid the intentional indoctrination occurring on secular campuses across Canada. Something to ponder?

Another dish that is best to serve with rice. Whenever I cook this, I cook EXTRA, for lunch and dinner. I don't eat leftover food (隔餐菜)but this is exceptional.
I normally cook this in slow cooker which is much easier and the meat turned out very tender. However, it took longer cooking time. My slow cooker is super slow ;)
When I have no time to 'slow cook' the ribs, I braise in a pot on stove. Hmm... the taste is still good indeed but the meat is not as tender as the slow cooked version.
700g Pork Ribs (or baby back ribs)
2 tsp Ginger Juice, just grate the fresh ginger and squeeze out the juice ;)
2 tsp Small Onion Juice, same method as above
3 Small Onion, finely sliced
1 Cube Red Fermented Bean Curd 南乳
1.5 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp ShaoXing Wine
1/2 tbsp Sesame Oil
1/2 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Sugar
1.5 tsp Tapioca Flour
Some oil for cooking
3 Cloves Garlic (peeled)
Some spring onion for garnishing
1. Wash the ribs and dry with kitchen towels.
2. In a bowl, mix all seasoning.
3. Add seasoning to the ribs. Mix well.
4. Cover with cling wrap. Keep in the fridge, let marinate overnight.
Cooking with slow cooker:
1. Heat oil in a skillet, add in garlic. fry until fragrant.
2. Stir in ribs (reserve sauce) and stir fry until no more sizzling sound. Add some hot water and the reserved sauce, transfer to a slow cooker, let it cook for 4 hours or until the meat is tender. I normally prepare this early in the morning.
Cooking on stove:
1. Heat oil in a pot, add in garlic, fry until fragrant.
2. Add in ribs (reserve the sauce) and stir fry until no more sizzling sound.
3. Add hot water and the reserved sauce, just enough to cover the ribs.
4. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, let simmer for at least 2 hours or more until the meat is tender and the gravy is thicken.

Today is the first Tuesday in September, and that means it's the first day of the school year for most students in Canada and the United States. So I thought I'd do a back-to-school type post, and soon settled on the idea of picking out a selection of pencil case knitting patterns for you all. I can hardly think of a more classic going-back-to-school purchase. My father still has the pencil case that was bought for him when he began first grade back in 1944, although his pencil case was not the zippered fabric or plastic envelope that is used today but a narrow wooden box with two compartments and a sliding top. He tells me the cool kids in his class had a three-decker wooden pencil boxes, and that in his day schoolchildren didn't have backpacks to carry their books in but fastened a strap around them and carried them by the end of the strap.
The pencil case above is, of course, quite literally a Pencil Case, and is designed by Katie Startzman. I'd almost feel like making a book-shaped backpack to go with it. The pattern is available as a $4(USD) download, or as part of an eBook.
This Abacus Pouch pattern by Derya Davenport harkens back to an even older educational tradition than wooden pencil boxes and book straps. It's a free pattern.
This plaid pencil case pattern by Debbie Bliss appears in her book, The Knitter's Year: 52 Make-in-a-Week Projects-Quick Gifts and Seasonal Knits.
This Bright Pencil Case, designed by the Lily Sugar n' Cream yarn company designers, seems perfect for holding a selection of coloured pencils. It's a free pattern.
The Daisy Dachshund pencil case might be perfect for a small child who doesn't like leaving the family dog or his or her stuffed toys behind at home during the school day. The pattern is by Mel Clark and appears in Knitting Everyday Finery: Practical Designs for Dressing Up in Little Ways.
Here's a simple yet eye-catching striped pencil case, designed by Stephanie Mrse, from the book 50 Knitted Gifts for Year-Round Giving: Designs for Every Season and Occasion Featuring Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted.
The Cabled Pencil Case pattern, by Dissolved Girl, is a free pattern.
The Sanquhar Pencil Case pattern, by Tom of Holland, is available as a £2.50 download.
The pattern for this flowered pencil case, made by Ravelry member Cassidy Clark, is not available but would be easy to copy.
For that matter a pencil case would be an easy beginner design project and a good way to use up some odds and ends of yarn. If you're making it for a child, it's a good idea to involve the child in the design process. There's always a schoolyarn social dictum as to what's in or out, and as an adult, you may not have any idea as to what the equivalent of today's three-decker pencil box is.

Faith – means taking a chance
Andy Williams and an art-afficionado acquaintance Peter Tillow attended an art exhibit, featuring a set of paintings of pin-tail ducks by the Ward Brothers. On Peter's advice, Andy agreed to go as high as $6,000 for the set.
However, the bidding continued beyond $6,000 to $8,000, then $10,000, Peter involved and an increasingly frantic Williams fruitlessly trying to stop him. The bidding finally stopped at $29,000, with Andy in shock. With a well-chosen profanity he exploded: why did Peter so casually ignore his appeals and why did he crash through the ceiling that both agreed to honor? He had no response to the reply: sometimes you have to take a chance. Moon River, 222-223.
Sometimes you do have to take a chance. Nothing is certain in life, but doing nothing will usually achieve an equivalent result. Doing something may very well have the same result, but it also may bring success.
Non-Christians face the challenge: should they take a chance and surrender to Jesus? Can they survive the loss of habits to which they have become habituated, even addicted? Or long-established companionship with like-minded friends? And on and on.
Christians don't escape the challenge. Do they dare take a chance in discipleship: accepting a role they fear but find necessary; serving in an area they have previously avoided; risking failure or rejection by witnessing to a friend or acquaintance. And on and on.
Sometimes you have to take your life in your hands and TAKE A CHANCE! Christians have this assurance: if God wants it done, and us to do it, he'll empower skills we haven't used, and maybe didn't know we had. And this assurance: if we try and fail, the very effort increases our confidence to keep trying. For in Christian service, the "behinder we get the greater our forward motion becomes."

Taunton Town Football Club fan Paul Chandler, has been banned from his own team's ground for being an 'ass' and 'a smart Alec' according to the club's chairman.
The story began last year when Taunton Town's board met with the Supporters' Club who 55-year-old Paul was then chairman of. Town's fans had fears over the way their club was being run and raised these legitimate queries with the board who responded by declaring the Supporters' Club a 'disgrace' who had no right to ask any questions!
Following this the board announced the Supports' Club had been disbanded – something they had absolutely no right or authority to do. The Supporters' Club carried on as usual.
Paul has been refused entry ever since. The club have never replied to his letters or given any explanation whatsoever, even in the letter telling him he was banned – that is until the Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) stepped in.
Ken Malley, chair of the FSF's South West and South Wales Division attended the Football Club's AGM. Despite questions from Ken and other supporters the board refused to clarify why Paul had been banned. The board would not even allow Paul entry to discuss himself!
Following the AGM the FSF wrote to the club again on Paul's behalf asking for a reason for the ban and the right to appeal.
At last the club wrote back to the FSF branding Paul an 'ass' and 'a smart Alec' – as the club have still refused to give any other specific reasons for the banning we can only presume this is it!
Paul Chandler, former chair of Taunton Town FC's Supporters' Club, said:
'All I wanted from the club was the chance to defend myself. If I'm banned they should at least tell me why and give me the right to appeal. If that makes me an 'ass' and 'a smart Alec' then who knows what it makes the legal system in the UK where this is a fundamental point of principle!'
Ken Malley, chair of the FSF's South West and South Wales Division, said:
'Fans should only be banned for reasons of disorder or violence – not for asking awkward questions to their team's board. Paul's crime was so heinous the club won't even tell him what he's done. What a joke.'
The Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) is the national supporters' organisation for all football fans from England and Wales comprising more than 142,000 individual fans and members of local supporters' organisations from every club in the professional structure and many from the pyramid.
Fan banned for being "a smart Alec"

Your move, Jerry Jones.
With free agency kicking off in under two weeks, a lot of questions still surround the Dallas Cowboys. Both star quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper remain unsigned, and given the impending collective bargaining agreement vote, the team may not have a transition and franchise tag available to use on both players.
On Thursday, however, Cooper, during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, put the pressure squarely on Jones and Co. to make sure the standout remains a member of the team.
"I love being a Dallas Cowboy. I love everything about it. I think about it every day," Cooper said. "Just the aura of being a Dallas Cowboy, you can't beat it. I want to be a Dallas Cowboy for life."
As you can imagine, no team in the NFL wants to let talented players, especially ones who embrace the club they play for, walk out the door. With that being said, the Cowboys are in a difficult situation in trying to sign both Prescott and Cooper prior to Mar. 18.
Cooper was acquired by the Cowboys in October of 2018 in exchange for a 2019 first-round pick. In 25 games with Dallas, the 25-year-old has hauled in 132 receptions, 1,914 yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging 9.8 yards per target.

Vancouver News | Local Breaking | CTV News Vancouver
Producer of B.C.-shot 'Supergirl' show fired over alleged sexual misconduct
A high-profile TV producer who's behind a number of superhero series filmed in Metro Vancouver has been fired over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Warner Bros. Television Group confirmed Wednesday that showrunner Andrew Kreisberg, who served as executive producer on "Supergirl," "Arrow," "The Flash" and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," was let go after the studio completed its investigation into the claims against him.
"We remain committed to providing a safe working environment for our employees and everyone involved in our productions," Warner Bros. said in an email statement.
The allegations against Kreisberg were uncovered in a report by Variety Magazine earlier this month, in which four men and 15 women described a pattern of sexual harassment that included touching and kissing women without asking.
Kreisberg denied the claims, telling the magazine "there was never any sexual intent or overtones" in his behaviour.
Though many powerful figures in the movie and TV industry have been targeted in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Kreisberg is perhaps the biggest name working in Hollywood North to be accused.
Shannon Kaplun of Women in Film + Television Vancouver, a non-profit created to promote the artistic contributions of local women, said harassment is common on both sides of the border, and extends well beyond the industry.
"It's not just an L.A. problem," she said. "It's a problem for our whole society."
Kaplun said since the #MeToo movement began, she has heard terrifying stories from colleagues who "shake and talk about something that's happened to them."
With Kreisberg removed from his shows, Warner Bros. said Greg Berlanti of Berlanti Productions will take on additional duties on "The Flash" and "Supergirl."
Berlanti Productions, the company behind all four of Kreisberg's former shows, said it "encouraged and supported" the investigation into his alleged behaviour.
"We believe and support the individuals who came forward, and we agree with the studio's decision. Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of all our colleagues – coworkers, crew and staff alike," it said in a statement.

Father And Son Take The Stage And Blow Off The Audience! WOW
Which other word can relevantly describe Luke Bryan than calling him a true showman? Whenever this country singer gives a performance, he does all he can to ensure the audience is entertained. One instance that his fans will hardly forget is when he brought his young boy to the stage to the stage to accompany him in his performance. I can categorically point out that the whole idea did not disappoint at all.
Whenever I watch this video, I sense a new start in the making. You can be right if you went ahead and said 'like father like son'. This young boy must be lucky to have a father who has the guts of giving him the chance to showcase his talent! This is a challenge to those who hold back the talents of their young ones.

Rates are looking good today after a rough afternoon mortgage bonds bounced off the 200 day moving average and are up modestly today. Initial jobless claims came in a bit higher than expected which is good for bonds and bad for stocks (points to recession confirmation). Empire State Index was worse than expected again good for bonds back for stock. The Philly Fed Idex was better than expected today which is good for stocks rather than bonds. All in all rates are better today than yesterday for now. I would recommend to float your loans today.
Now all we need need is more people that qualify for loans.
I hear you, rates got even better since that post, we should see some good rate sheets tomorrow.
Rates are even better late about 4pm or so.

Pioneering spirit prevails
GRAFTON — One of the longest-running and most influential groups in American musical history will bring its uniquely Western sound to Grafton over Halloween weekend.
The Sons of the Pioneers will perform Friday, Oct. 31, through Sunday, Nov. 2, at Aerie's Terrace, 800 Timber Ridge Drive, adjacent to Aerie's Winery. All three shows begin at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $29 and include gourmet appetizers and beverages.
Stan Corliss, entertainment coordinator and house musician for Aerie's, arranged for the Sons of the Pioneers to appear at the venue. Corliss wrote, produced and directed the award-winning documentary, "60 Years of Harmony: Roy Rogers Farewell Concert," in which the group was featured prominently.
The group was founded in 1934 by Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer and Leonard Sly, but Sly soon changed his name to Roy Rogers as he began a legendary career in movies and television. Rogers eventually became known as the "King of the Cowboys."
The Sons of the Pioneers gained international fame as they appeared with Rogers in dozens of films, defining the genre of Western music with their groundbreaking approach to harmonizing and songwriting. They crafted numerous hits that have become American classics, including their most iconic songs, "Cool Water" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds."
Rogers and all the original Sons of the Pioneers have ridden off into the sunset now, but their tradition is carried on by the current lineup, headed by "trail boss" Luther Nallie.
"We retain the same sound that we always had," said Nallie, a native of Beaumont, Texas, who joined the group in 1969.
Nallie was schooled in that tradition by Lloyd Perryman, who joined the group in 1936 and was considered the architect of the "Pioneer Sound."
"Lloyd was my mentor when I first started with the group," Nallie said. "He showed me the ropes."
Nallie said Perryman composed the vocal arrangements for all the group's classic songs.
"We still do the same arrangements," Nallie said. "When people come to see us, they still hear the songs like they've always been done."
Nallie also credits the late Dale Warren, from whom he inherited the role of "trail boss" in 2008, and Billy Armstrong with teaching him the Pioneer way.
The current lineup includes Nallie, who sings baritone and mainly plays bass; tenor Ken Lattimore, who plays fiddle; baritone Randy Rudd, who serves as lead singer and plays rhythm guitar; Mark Abbott, who sings bass and plays upright string bass; Ricky Boen, a former World Fiddle Champion; and Nallie's younger brother, Tommy Nallie, the lead guitarist.
In fact, the Sons of the Pioneers have been somewhat of a family affair for the Nallies. Another brother, Jack, was in the group for a few years before his death in 2004, and Luther's son, John, participated for about seven years in the 1990s.
"I'll be 80 years old this month," Luther Nallie said in a telephone interview from his home in Hollister, Mo., near the music hotspot of Branson. "I'm hanging in there. I'll go as long as I can, as long as I still feel good and can do it."
The group now is based in Branson, where they perform at the Baldknobbers Theatre on Country Music Boulevard. During the "season," which runs through the first week of December this year, they play at 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. But Nallie said he is excited about the group making its first visit to Grafton.
"We always look forward to getting away," he said.
Although the group is in residence in the country music hotbed of Branson, Nallie draws the distinction between country and Western music.
"They call it country and Western, but it's two different things, really," he said. "Country is more about inside stuff; Western is more about outside.
"We love Western music because it's about the beautiful outdoors. We have a lot of songs about the West, but very few songs about people. They're mostly about the tall timber country, the tumbling tumbleweeds, cool water, blue skies way out yonder."
The group also pays tribute to Roy Rogers during its shows. Nallie said he performed many times with both Rogers and his wife, Dale Evans, at state fairs and rodeos, as well as on TV shows.
"I did a lot of shows with them over the years until they got too old to travel anymore," Nallie said. "It was a lot of fun. They were real fine people. They were the same off the stage as they were on the stage — true blue.
"We do a couple of songs where we talk about Roy. My brother, Tommy, does some yodeling on a couple of the songs that Roy sang; that's what Roy used to do. And we always do 'Happy Trails.'"
Between songs, Luther Nallie said the band members also give a synopsis of Sons of the Pioneers' history, and they're happy to answer questions from the audience.
"We're very proud of our group," he said.

Today was set up and is run by Searlait, whose vision is to create pieces that are timeless, simple and calm. Mostly though, the pieces are sustainable and use recycled materials to ensure that they do not cost a fortune and also have a strict awareness of their environmental impact. Torn between the need to make and a loathing of excess, Today was born.
After 6 months spent making jewellery on the move from the back of her campervan, Searlait now makes jewellery from her spare room in Saltaire, usually with a coffee in one hand and a cat on my lap. She is a testament to the brilliance that can be created with our hands and to the wonders of creating simple and timeless pieces.

Anxious To Make It Better
When I was young and in school, I would start to get both excited and anxious this time of year. Knowing the start of school was right around the corner brought thoughts of new starts along with a new backpack. I loved the smell of new books and stacks of perfectly lined paper. I looked forward to packing my lunch in a shiny clean new lunchbox, and all my pencils were sharpened weeks in advance.
I also experienced a little anxiety. Would I fit in? Would I have lots of friends? Would I be able to find all my classes, and would I be able to keep good grades? But the excitement always overshadowed the anxiety. I wish that could be the case for Ashley.
Ashley loves school, but transitions are difficult. This year brings a multitude of those transitions – high school, a campus type of school, different teachers and aides, different students, a different layout to the classrooms, lunch rooms instead of lunch room, and new nurses and other administrators. She should have had some preparation in her last year of middle school to help with the transition, but she didn't.
More often than not, students exiting middle school visit the high school they will attend. They meet the staff and walk around the school so the experiences in September are not so overwhelming. But that didn't happen for Ashley, and when you throw in the fact that she is deafblind, it's easy to see why I am so anxious.
I'm going to do my best to make the beginning an exciting time for her – new clothes, new shoes, a new backpack and lunchbox – but I'm not sure what else to do.
I could use some ideas….

I have some minor vison problems, and although I don't wear glasses (I "see fine") I have the sense of direction of a flea. I get lost EVERYWHERE. High School--anxiety producing. There was only 5 mins between classes and I didn't have an aide w/me who knew where they were going. I get turned around so easy.
Thankfully my brother was going into his sr year when I was starting. What we did, my guidance counsleor who has a son w/severe impairments & was very understanding, gave us my schedule & my elevator key a week before school & my mom sent both of us off & after the briefist most vague directions it was "go. get lost" (w/him following behind me). VERY helpful. When I started college I got in my brand new powerchair and did the same thing (although that time I had much more space to cover, did it alone, & got so turned around, I was going in circles, I think it took 4-5hrs, but it WORKED beautifuly. Had the whole campus down by the end of the day.
Since in your case no one has ever been there before you could get her schedule and do your own dry run before you take ashley. Since she is blind you may want to go a couple of days if you have that much time. That way she gets to practice a few times w/someone she trusts & is comfortable w/before getting left w/an unfamiliar aide.

I too would suggest taking her to school before it starts. Even if it was just the day before it would still be better than nothing. The Blue Jay had about four or five trips to her new high school before the last school year ended (some with her classmates and some separate) but I will stay take her up the day before school starts so she can find her locker and her homeroom and meet some of her teachers. Surely in Ashley's case that's the least they can do.

what if you get chip to talk to her about how much fun he had in HS? about his experiences and such, knowing someone who cares (and is closer in ages to her) has felt how you're feeling can be very helpful!!

During vaginal birth your vaginal skin, or more specifically, the skin between the anus and the vagina can be torn. If not, the doctor might cut it to help the baby come out. The cutting process is called an episiotomy. You should decide beforehand whether you want to go with the cut or the tear. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here
There are different types of tears that you might experience. They are as follows. The first-degree tear: Only the skin between your vagina and anus is torn in this case. The second-degree tear: In this case, the skin and the muscle are torn during birth.
The third-degree tear: In this case, not just the skin and the muscle around your vagina are torn but also the muscle surrounding your anus. The fourth-degree tear: This tear includes the skin, the muscles surrounding the vagina and the anus as well as the area inside the anus.
The cut is also known as episiotomy and in this case, the doctor makes a cut before you tear your vaginal skin and muscle during birth. The cut will make the opening larger so that the baby comes out more easily. The doctor will give you a local anesthetic injection before cutting and thus, you won't feel anything.
This is especially done in the case of a forceps delivery. However, it is up to you to decide whether you want to go for a cut. The doctor will not perform the cut without your permission. In some cases, a cut may be necessary. For example, if your baby is too big the doctor may recommend a cut.
The same holds true if your skin is weak and you are physically weak. The doctor may also recommend a cut if this is your first baby. Going for the cut is also recommended for older women. Another case is if your baby is in breech position.
That is completely up to you to decide. One way to look at it is that a tear is haphazard and may be wider while a cut is controlled. Thus, a cut can be stitched back easily when compared to a tear. Another way to look at it is from the healing perspective. Apparently, a tear heals faster than a cut. Many women who have experienced both have said that they healed easier with the tear when compared to the cut.
Clearly, healing faster is the more attractive perspective and thus, a tear is better. Whether it is a tear or a cut, the doctor will stitch it back fine. He is an expert and he may spend more time if it is a tear but you should not base your decision on that one factor.
Surely, you want it to heal sooner and that is why, tear is ideal unless your doctor sees that it is necessary to go for a cut. It may be necessary in some cases as aforementioned. Don't go for a cut unless it is a necessity. A tear is a safer and a better option.

Good breeding takes time. The University of Minnesota has been breeding cold-hardy, disease resistant plants for over 125 years. In that time, over 400 varieties have been released including apples, grapes, trees, flowers, and grasses. Today, University plant scientists and breeders are able to combine traditional breeding techniques with cutting-edge technology allowing them to use data and genomics not available to researchers in the past. Below, we have highlighted several current research projects and new varieties developed by U of M plant breeders.
Grape Breeding: History and Cold Hardy Expertise
The University of Minnesota formally initiated a breeding program for wine grapes in the mid-1980's. In 2000, we completed a state-of-the-art enology lab and research winery. Today, we're recognized as one of the top wine grape programs in the United States.
Apple Breeding: History and Cold Hardy Expertise
The University of Minnesota is known worldwide for its expertise in cold hardy variety research. For over a century, dedicated U of M researchers and fruit breeders have persevered in the development of hardy, high-quality apples that can thrive in harsh conditions of extremely cold winters and hot, dry summers.
Seeking Solutions
University horticultural scientists research ways to restore and preserve water quality through strategic plantings to restore wetlands, preserve lakeshore, and curb runoff through rainwater gardens. Researchers analyze the most beneficial plants for various conditions and provide information to the public on plant selection.
