Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Is there a more natural pairing to coach the Enid Minors than Seth Sturgeon and Zach Gonzalez?
They have been best friends since age 3 and have been teammates on every team except their freshman year in college, when Sturgeon played at Hutchinson, Kan., and Gonzalez at Northern Oklahoma College Tonkawa.
They were roommates the past two years at USAO, where they helped revive a Drovers program leading the school to a 41-19 record this spring and a trip to the NAIA national tournament.
“We know each other like the back of our hands,’’ Sturgeon said of his former Enid High and Legion teammate.
“He’s more fun-loving than me. I’m a little more serious. You ask any of our friends and they will say we bounce off each other well.’’
“It’s going to be a blast,’’ Gonzalez said.
Sturgeon, who was 9-2 with a 4.04 ERA as a senior at USAO, will handle the pitchers. Gonzalez, who hit .302 with five homers and 34 RBI will handle the hitters.
“He may have to take care more of the conditioning,’’ Gonzalez said. “I’ll be doing more of the yelling.’’
Sturgeon joked about the two as roommates.
“We have had our share of altercations,’’ he said with a smile. “Of course, I won all those ... I think you get more mad at your best friends than someone else.’’
Gonzalez just smiled.
“He’s more of the firecracker between the two of us,’’ Sturgeon said. “I’ll have to keep him under wraps ... but we pretty much have the same philosophy of how to win games.’’
Both have a year of summer coaching under them — Sturgeon as the pitching coach with the Majors last year and Gonzalez assisting Butch Lingenfelter with the Minors.
“That was a learning experience for me,’’ Sturgeon said. “I saw a different aspect of the game.’’
“It was new to me, but Butch took me under his wing and told me a lot of things about paced,” Gonzales said. “With Seth and me coaching together, it should be more fast paced and a lot of fun.’’
Sturgeon, who is engaged to be married to Emily Hawkins of Medford at the end of July, said he’s ready for more responsibility such as dealing with parents.
“I’m growing up,’’ he said. “You have to deal with it sometime.’’
“I’m going to let Seth take care of the paperwork,’’ Gonzalez said. “I’d rather show up and hit ground balls, but I’ll be there to help with the parents.’’
Both found in their first year as coaches they didn’t know as much about the game as they thought.
“I found I had a lot to learn,’’ Sturgeon said. “It took me back to when I was a catcher. You have to think about every situation. As a pitcher, you just have one thought, and that’s to get this guy out.’’
“Butch had seen a lot more baseball than I even thought about,’’ Gonzalez said.
Both see their youth as an asset coaching a team primarily of 15- to 16-year olds.
“We can relate to them a lot better,’’ Sturgeon said. “We just got done playing. We know what the grind is about ... what it’s like to go to the ballpark when it’s hot and you’re a little sore.
“It was just five years ago when we were in their shoes,’’ Gonzalez said. “We understand them.’’
Patience is a byword for both. The Minors can be compared to a AAA team being thrown to the major leagues.
“You have to find a way to get them focused and find a way to keep it fun every day,’’ Sturgeon said.
Sturgeon will lean on Gonzalez heavily on this since he went through it last year.
“The immaturity level is pretty high,’’ Gonzalez said. “Of course, I can’t say too much about that because I’m pretty immature myself. For the most part, you just have to be patient.’’
The two do have some different opinions.
Sturgeon will draw from USAO coach Mike Ross.
“I really like his approach,’’ he said. “We went from a very mediocre program to winning 40 games and going to the national tournament. We will do things the same way.’’
Gonzalez was more influenced by Bill Mayberry, his Legion coach.
“Bill was hard on you, but he got the best out of you; that’s what you would like for your coach to be,’’ he said.
Both were happy their team will be playing in a league named for the late Les Beckham, who was the director of the local Legion baseball program for 44 years.
“He’s where the discipline of the program came from,’’ Sturgeon said.
Gonzalez wrote out “Les’’ on the infield dirt in the games following Beckham’s death.
“You still feel his presence,’’ he said, “especially when you see his picture walking in.’’
The two felt they ended their careers on a high note by reaching nationals at USAO. They had played on three state tournament teams at EHS and were on one state Legion state champion team with the Majors.
Gonzalez hit a home run against Oklahoma City University in his final game in the nationals. Sturgeon went 71⁄3 innings, allowing only seven hits and no walks. The Drovers lost 7-6 in 11 innings on a controversial call.
“I don’t think it’s sunk in on either one of us that we’re done,’’ Sturgeon said. “It was good to play in the nationals. The big guy (Gonzalez) hit a bomb (homer) against the wind.’’
“You can’t go out better than that,’’ Gonzalez said. “It felt great, especially against OCU. I’m not a big fan.’’
Both are preparing for a life outside of baseball.
Sturgeon plans to take the exam to join the Colorado Highway Patrol. He’s following in the path of his late father, Rick
“That had a lot to do with it,’’ Sturgeon said. “Zach and I played in Colorado (summer) two years ago and I fell in love with it.’’
Gonzalez is thinking of applying with the Enid Fire Department. He still might get into coaching.
“I like to help people,’’ he said. “I would be with a bunch of guys who like to help people. That’s something that has always gotten my attention.’’
Sturgeon was the male recipient of the Bill and Pat Smith Scholar-Athlete Award at USAO for his strong academic performance as well as his involvement with the university.
“That was a nice surprise,’’ Sturgeon said. “I try to be a role model. Mom (Connie) always installed those things in me ... that I have to work in the classroom to be able to play. School came first ... I know my dad would have been proud of (me).’’
Baseball did bring Sturgeon and Hawkins together. They were introduced by Josh Goodman, Hawkins’ classmate at Medford and a teammate both in summer ball and at USAO.
“There’s not a better place to meet than the ballpark,’’ Sturgeon said. “She’s pretty responsible. In reality, she keeps me in line. She’s a huge baseball fan. She came to games even when I wasn’t pitching.’’
“She came to see me play,’’ Gonzalez said with a laugh.
Both want to have fun in what might be their last summer of baseball.
“This is a good way to phase me out of baseball,’’ Sturgeon said. “I don’t have to go cold turkey from playing. We’ll have a good time and see how many games we win.’’
And both will be playing in the Alumni game Saturday.
“It’s going to be fun,’’ Gonzalez said. “I don’t plan on taking it too seriously.’’
“I don’t think we’re going to get beat,’’ Sturgeon said about the All-Stars from 2005 on against those from 1999-2004. “We have guys like Matt Peck and Tyson Seng.’’
Majors coach Chris Jensen is glad to have them both. He coached both in summer and high school baseball.
“We wouldn’t turn the Minors over to them if we weren’t fully confident they could do the job,’’ he said. “I think the world of them.’’�

Matt Schaub understands the Raiders’ quarterback plan for the present and future. The recently acquired veteran knows he’ll start in 2014 at least, and that the team is looking for a younger long-term solution.
Schaub seems fine with all of that. The 32-year old former Houston Texan said so Friday at a charity golf tournament benefitting his GR8 Hope Foundation.
The Raiders have done extensive research on top quarterbacks in this draft class, but it remains uncertain where (or even if) they will select a passer in the upcoming NFL draft. Schaub’s presence gives them freedom to take the best player available at No. 5 overall.
The Raiders say they don’t have to take a quarterback, but that doesn’t mean they won’t. If a passer is added to the Raiders roster, Schaub won’t lose sleep over it.
“I’m a realist, and I understand where I am in my career,” Schaub told reporters on hand, including CSN Houston, a CSN Bay Area sister station. “As you get older, teams are always going to try and find young players to come in and compete. I was one of those guys myself at one point. As a player, you just have to do your job to the best of your ability and let the chips fall where they may. I’m looking forward to helping the team in any way possible. I’m going to be the guy to lead them and show them the way.”
Even if a young quarterback joins the team, Schaub knows he’ll get his shot at redemption after a terrible 2013 season. Raiders head coach Dennis Allen declared Schaub next season’s starting quarterback shortly after acquiring the quarterback in trade. If he plays extremely well, Schaub could hold on to his starting spot for a longer term, or sign a lucrative deal with another team following the 2015 season.
[RELATED: Raiders to get closer look at Mettenberger]
Allen is supremely confident Schaub will find old form and help the Raiders compete in the AFC West. He considers Schaub equal to top quarterbacks in the division, pointing to a pre-2013 track record of success.
That vote of confidence was heard loud and clear.
“It’s the ultimate compliment and what you want as a player,” Schaub said. “You want to know that the staff believes in you and wants you to come in and do a job. That’s all you can ever ask for. I’m excited about the opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
Schaub has already perused the playbook, but his Raiders duties formally start April 22, when the offseason program officially begins. Schaub, who could’ve been released as late as June had the Raiders not traded for him, is excited to start the next chapter of his career.
“A lot of stress and anxiety has been taken off; to know where I’m going to be has been great,” Schaub said. “It’s allowed me to get to know my teammates and get involved early. I’ve started looking at the offense and looking at film, but it’s also about understanding the receivers and how things work in Oakland. It’s a long process, but we have a lot of time to get that nailed down.”

Web analytics for the past week show the number of visitors to the site and how much they're viewing while there is becoming more consistent from day to day instead of simply spiking on Wednesdays. Since Monday, just over 1,000 individuals visited each day and viewed 11,000 pages daily. Wednesday (the day the paper is published and many stories appear on the site), the numbers were 1,249 visitors and 12,354 pages. A week ago, the same numbers fell off fast on Thursday and stayed about 33 percent lower through the weekend.
What's going on?
My best guess is consistent uploads from the video team, blogs from the opinion staff, and non-Wednesday posts from features and sports are getting audience members to check back more often and stick around when they do.
That people turn to theorion.com when there's breaking news is evident by looking at the same numbers from Sept. 23-25, when Chico State nursing student Kristina Chesterman was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Unique visitors on those days were 2,203, 2,918 (a Wednesday) and 2,591. Page views for the same days were 14,423, 19,288 and 19,005. Ernesto Rivera, who was assigned to the story, did a good job of posting updates on those days, so visitors were able to keep up with the news.
I'll keep watching the numbers roller-coster for you as the semester goes on.

We enjoyed a 4 hour food tour in Marrakech, which involved frequent stops at street stands to taste a variety of foods. Our guide picked us up at our riad about mid-morning, and we began a stroll through the nearby streets.
Our first stop was a small eatery close to our riad, where we tasted a local breakfast dish of hssoua belboula, or barley soup. This was akin to starting the day with cream of wheat. However this was a soup made from barley – a common grain grown in Morocco – and infused with olive oil and cumin. Quite tasty.
The next stop was at a street stand, where three women were producing a pancake/crepe like dish called msemmen. These are made from a basic bread recipe, flattened into a square, fried on a hot metal cooking surface and brushed with a mixture of spices. Best eaten hot, the crepes were very tasty.
Our third stop was another street stand, where the gentleman was producing sferj/chfanj, or Moroccan donuts. These are produced from a water/flour/sugar/salt dough, deep fried and served with copious amounts of drizzled honey.
After a short walk, we came upon another stand which was serving brissara, a soup made from dried fava beans and served with lots of olive oil, cumin and cayenne. This was accompanied with the traditional Moroccan mint tea.
At our next stop we crowded into a very small cafe and squeezed into a table for two – with five people. Our guide then brought us a dish called loubia, a bean soup served with Moroccan bread. This was eaten with folded over small pieces of the delicious bread.
Next was a stop at a local “Starbucks” for strong Moroccan coffee. We watched while the vendor ground the beans, covered them with hot water, placed the container in a barrel of hot and heated sand and allowed the mixture to blend. The result was a wonderful but very strong coffee.
After another stroll through the souk, we came upon a series of olive stalls. Olives are a staple of Moroccan food, and these stands contained a huge variety of olives. We tried several, including a flavored and spicy variety.
Our last stop was for lunch at a restaurant near the main square. We climbed two sets of stairs, finally settling in at a spacious table on the rooftop. After a series of Moroccan salads – all delicious – we were served the main course of a very traditional dish called a tanjia. A tanjia is a Moroccan stew – usually lamb with saffron, cumin, preserved lemon and garlic – cooked in a ceramic jug or amphora for many hours while buried in hot ashes. The end consistency is akin to a confit of lamb, quite delicious.
That was the end of a quite enjoyable food tour. The guide service offers such tours during the day and also in the evening, and offers a good way to experience various foods and to tour part of the medina.

The Chicago Bears are coming off a big win in their season opener at home against the 49ers, but now head to Lambeau Field to take on the 0-1 Green Bay Packers. The Packers are favored by 9.5-points and have won the last six head to head games. And Aaron Rodgers is 23-5 against Chicago in his career.
Fantasy Football analysis: Bears RB David Montgomery
The question facing us today is if we should start running back David Montgomery tonight. Against the 49ers in a muddy, rain-filled game, Montgomery rush 17 times for a measly 26 yards, while he caught 3-of-4 passes for 24 yards. The good news is that he saw a great 21 looks and you just can’t get that kind of workload that often.
Start or sit in Week 2?
Montgomery is a start this week, but I’d rather him as a flex player than RB1 or 2.

text: Aims: To study how the volume of a peripheral isodose line would relate to its isodose value for Gamma Knife® (GK) radiosurgery. Method: A theoretical model was developed to derive the relationship between the volume of a near-target peripheral isodose line and its isodose value. The formula was tested based on cases with uniformly matched target volumes as well as random target volumes ranging from 0.1 to 37 cc. Results: To the second order approximation, the volume of a near-target peripheral isodose line (V) relates to its dose value (D) by the following formula: V/V0 = (D/D 0)-3/2, where D0 is the prescription dose and V0 is the prescription isodose volume. Applied to patient data, we found V/V0 = (D/D0)γ, where γ = - 1.50 ± 0.16 at the 95% of the confidence level, and showed excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction. Conclusion: For GK radiosurgery, the near-target peripheral isodose volume relates to its isodose value in a similar fashion as to the way in which the volume of a sphere relates to the inverse of its surface area. Such a predictable relationship justifies the use of a single near-target peripheral isodose volume, as a sufficient measure of the dose to the normal brain.

Last year’s vote to create VP Welsh Lang has been rejected at this year’s AGM
No existing positions will be removed
At the 2019 AGM on Thursday, Cardiff students voted on the Sabbatical Officer review. They chose not to instate a VP for Welsh Language.
Due to funding concerns, an eighth officer position for Welsh Language, as voted in the 2018 AGM, was not implemented this year.
Instead, three alternative proposals were put forward in the 2019 AGM: the removal of the VP Postgraduate, the merging of VP Welfare and VP Education, or to stay the same without the creation of a VP Welsh Language.
335 of 434 votes cast were in favour of staying the same with review, meaning no new officer position will be created.
The other proposals to remove the VP Postgraduate or to merge the positions of VP Education and VP Welfare to allow for the creation of a Welsh Language VP proved unpopular, gaining only 3 and 38 votes respectively.
Nick Fox, the current VP Postgraduate, expressed that his position is 'indispensable' to an underrepresented postgrad community of 1100 students, citing the higher risk of mental health concerns.
Tomos Evans, the VP Education, showed his concern that the merging of VP Education and Welfare would be 'detrimental to students at Cardiff' and would increase individual workload.
Despite not creating a Welsh Language VP, the Students' Union will review how Welsh Language can be embedded across the Union's activities.
William Rees, the proposer of the 2018 motion to create the position, argued that none of the proposals were satisfactory.
He spoke against the proposal to stay the same, yet urged everyone to abstain from the vote. He said the creation of a Welsh Language VP was meant to 'increase student representation,' and yet every option given instead limits it.
He urged voters to abstain until the chance to vote for an eighth officer, as passed last year, was presented to them, dismissing the funding concerns as not valid.
He then ripped up his ballot paper on stage.
The sentiment of inadequate options was shared by Nick Fox and Tomos Evans. Whilst they both spoke against the removal and change to their own positions, they both stressed that they were not in opposition of a VP Welsh Language.
The SU added:
"We appreciate that not all students will be happy with the result of the officer review. However, the Student's Union provided options for the creation of a full- time Welsh Language Officer in the spirit of the motion that was approved by AGM last year."

This video documents the impact of the 2011 drought on the water supply of two Texas towns. It discusses how the higher temperatures have increased the evaporation from open reservoirs, resulting in a drop in their water levels. The use of water in fighting wildfires has also contributed to this drawdown. While some jurisdictions have been able to develop pipelines to other sources, others have had to resort to trucking water in.
This activity involves plotting and comparing monthly data on atmospheric C02 concentrations over two years, as recorded in Mauna Loa and the South Pole, and postulating reasons for differences in their seasonal patterns. Longer-term data is then examined for both sites to see if seasonal variations from one site to the other carry over into longer term trends.
Students investigate how much greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane) their family releases into the atmosphere each year and relate it to climate change. To address this, students use the Environmental Protection Agency Personal Emissions Calculator to estimate their family's greenhouse gas emissions and to think about how their family could reduce those emissions.
Students use real satellite data to determine 1) where the greatest concentrations of aerosols are located during the course of a year in the tropical Atlantic region and 2) their source of origin. This is an inquiry-style lesson where students pull real aerosol data and attempt to identify trends among data sets.
C-Learn is a simplified version of the C-ROADS simulator. Its primary purpose is to help users understand the long-term climate effects (CO2 concentrations, global temperature, sea level rise) of various customized actions to reduce fossil fuel CO2 emissions, reduce deforestation, and grow more trees. Students can ask multiple, customized what-if questions and understand why the system reacts as it does.

Although I remembered One Hundred Years of Solitude as one of my all-time favorite novels, when I reread it for The Selfish Book Club I found it very frustrating. If you’ve kept up with this blog, you’ll remember that I’m a survivor of Donald Trump’s election in 2016. I climbed out of that black pit of depression only to confront horrendous wildfires in 2017 and 2018. The pandemic, of course, struck in 2020 along with another huge wildfire that got within a quarter mile of my house. Now, in 2022, Russia has invaded Ukraine and all my childhood Cold War fears are coming up (although not as strongly as you’d think, since I’m so used to bad news by now that I’m not taking as hard as I might be). Considering all of that, the magical realism and Circle Game of Jose Arcadio’s, Aureliano’s, Remedio’s, Ursula’s and Amaranta’s didn’t delight me as they once had. My reality was too hyper-real and bleak to allow stories about flying carpets, alchemy and women who smell like smoke to hold my attention. My fearful and impatient mood made it feel a little like going from an in-depth seminar on black and white Bergman films to watching an episode of Friends.
I kept at it though, and gradually Garcia Marquez won me back. I started looking forward to reading in bed before sleep and first thing on awakening. The book is like a beautiful dream. The characters and the history of the fictional Latin American town of Macando circle like Fortune’s Wheel or a widening gyre; rolling like the ball in Prufrock toward inevitable questions about time, identity and reality.
There are so many examples of original, evocative word choices and descriptions. Once of my favorites is Garcia Marquez’ description of the train sounding like, “a kitchen being dragged by a village.”
Incest, both obvious and ambiguous, is a theme in the book. The Buendia family tree is more like a jungle vine, snaking and circling back on to itself. Matriarch Ursula fears that one of the children will be born with the sign of incest, a pig’s tail, but although she lives a very long time, she doesn’t live to see the child, the last in the long Buendia line, who is finally born with the pig’s tail.
Even if she had lived, she wouldn’t have lived to actually see it because in her older age Ursula is blind. She hides her disability so well through memorization of the family’s habits and careful observance of dates, time of day and seasons that no one figures out that she has lost her vision. They chalk up the fact that she holds her arm aloft like the statue of a saint, which she actually does so that she doesn’t bump into things like a white cane, to eccentricity.
What’s with the smell of smoke? Pilar Tenera, the sexy fortune teller prostitute that beds both Aureliano and his brother Jose Arcadio II and is the mother of sons of each, is irresistible to Jose Arcadio II because of her smoky odor.
When Jose Arcadio II is killed, the smell of gunpowder cannot be removed from the corpse and even burial doesn’t quell it. The banana company pours cement over the grave to reduce the smell. Does the smoke smell connect Use Arcado to his lover after death?
Pilar Tenera and the woman who is rival to Fernanda, Petra Cotes, are similar to me and continue the circles back and forth between generations of Buendias, making it difficult and lending a dreaminess to tracing their sexual exploits and resulting offspring. The union of Petra Cotes and Fernanda’s husband, Aureliano, seems to cause incredible, practically grotesque and unmanageable, fecundity. It is even described as a sort of plague, but they become so wealthy they can hardly spend their money fast enough and Aureliano uses it for wall paper. Considering the many year deluge that comes later in the book, it’s all very Noah’s ark-Biblical.
The women in the book seem more differentiated to me, and the men who are not Buendias, like Pietro Crespi, have some original traits, but the Buendia men could almost all be facets of the same character. They are all variations on the theme of maleness.
The “17 Aurelianos,” the sons Colonel Aureliano Buendia has during his travels fighting battles, are almost carbon copies of each other. They are each marked with a permanent cross of ashes on their foreheads, and each is killed with a bullet through the cross “target.” Although a few of the 17 Aurelianos are given individuality, none were very memorable to me and all of them ended up being killed.
There is so much Christian symbolism in the book that if there were 12 Aurelianos it would make more sense to me, but I’m not sure what 17 signifies.
In one online university outline of the book’s themes, it breaks the book down into four parts: the founding of Macondo, the war years, the American intervention with the arrival of the railroad, and the introspective “meta” years, which end with finding out that the Sanskrit parchments have been the family history all along.
This was interesting to me because I love the beginning and the end of the book but found myself drifting a lot during the war years and the banana company years. It was as if too much destructiveness wrecks the magic for me. I found myself really hooked back in when the story returned to basically a single home again with someone staying in Melquiades’ room and an illicit romance once again brewing.
Of course, the magic ends with the horrific image of the dead baby being devoured by ants and carried away, probably one of the most shocking and memorable ending images in literature. The dream becomes a nightmare and the final image is like a scream to, “Wake Up!”

What’s in the water?
Passersby have noticed that wooden arches have popped up in the Illinois and Michigan Canal near Ninth Street in Lockport.
John Siblik, a Lemont native and alumnus of Northern Illinois University, banded branches together to make these 101 sculptures, which extend a half mile in the water as part of Lockport’s annual Summer Art Series.
The free exhibits run through Aug. 17 at the canal, on the Lincoln Landing and in the Gaylord Building. This year’s theme is “Steampunk,” which combines combines fiction and fantasy with the steam power of the 19th century. Other artists have created an Abraham Lincoln sculpture, a rocket ship that children can explore and three-dimensional foam art.
Siblik, who is the dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Upper Iowa University, first sketched the arch sculpture while he was an NIU student studying art education.
He worked with the Illinois State Museum in Lockport to install the water art, called “River Weaving.” He will speak about how he created the pieces at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 27, at the site.
Cranes, herons and ducks are expected to interact with the art, which will wash away over time.
The art of construction
Alex Vietti, an award-winning artist, is showcasing his latest series of construction paintings through Aug. 27 at the Galleries of the Academy of Art University at The Cannery, 2801 Leavenworth St., San Francisco.
The “Construction” exhibit showcases his realist series, which was created after he walked city streets and re-evaluated the work of construction workers.
“Steadfast structures – the tall buildings, bridges, the houses we live in – give us a feeling of security needed to perform our daily tasks, to go to work, to live our lives,” said Vietti, whose artwork has been displayed at art galleries throughout the Midwest.
“My painting series of construction workers tells how they transform the world …” he said. “From their daily labor, they give birth to the new structure, the replacement, the new landmark of stability. Observing them working has given me the chance to look into another world, a constantly fluctuating world that lays the foundation for my own as I walk through the city.”
An opening reception will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 10, at which time Vietti will be available for questions about his work.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in studio art from Northern Illinois University and a master’s degree in painting from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
A great seat to view art
Tammy Kordik, an art teacher at Nelson Ridge and Nelson Prairie Elementary schools in New Lenox, has shown her students that art can be found at any angle, including where you sit.
Kordik originally bought eight school chairs at a market as an art project for herself. But she ended up making it a service project for her fifth- and sixth-grade students from the art club at Nelson Ridge.
Before painting the chairs, the students learned about the artists, the colors, the effects of different brush sizes and the challenge of painting on a three-dimensional surface. Then they went to work to reproduce eight pieces of famous artwork on the chairs. For instance, one of the chairs is splashed with yellow stars to represent Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.”
After designing and painting the chairs from last fall until this spring, the art club students showcased their work before a school assembly of 500 and then moved the chairs to the art room so younger students can use them to read about art history, Kordik told The Herald-News (Joliet) during a recent interview.
After realizing that she enjoyed working with children, Kordik changed her major to art education at NIU and graduated in 1983. She is now working on a master’s degree in painting from Governors State University.
To see the article on Kordik, visit theherald-news.com.
“Art From the Great Wars, ” an exhibit of art and posters relating to World War I and World War II, will be on display through July 26 at The Art Box, 308 E. Lincoln Hwy. in DeKalb.
The exhibit illustrates the propaganda and horrors of war and honors artists who created thought-provoking images.
John Wright, who majored in history at NIU, has provided the exhibit. He has collected war posters since 1970 and has amassed a collection of more than 1,000.
Original poster art by Peter Helck, who illustrated for the Saturday Evening Post, and political cartoons from well-known artists Vaughn Shoemaker, Lute Pease and Jerry Doyle are part of the exhibit.
The Art Box is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Fazul warns of crackdown on non-compliant private security firms as he takes over as regulatory boss
By Cyrus Ombati | October 18th 2018
NAIROBI, KENYA: The newly appointed Private Security Regulatory Authority CEO Fazul Mohammed has met a group of firms in the sector and warned of crackdown on non-compliant agencies.
He said he would push to have sanity in the industry as he called for support from stakeholders at large.
The CEO said he is pushing for finalisation of statutory policies that will guide the enforcement of private security regulation Act 2016 and consistency in compliance of the Act and mandatory enforcement of minimum wage base for all private security providers in the sector.
“We will also push for professionalisation of the sector through the proposed designed curriculum by the union which will see fresh training, vetting of both employers and employees as well as licensing and ranking of guards for career growth and motivation.” he said.
Fazul spoke in Naivasha Tuesday when he met members of the Kenya National Private Worker's Security Union.
The officials also vowed effective transition and co-operation between government’s uniformed officers and private security officers and empowerment of the private security officers through policy strengthening of the Walinzi National Sacco.
The union boss Isaac Andabwa, welcomed the move and assured him of total support to ensure cartels in the sector are addressed.

The Authority’s principle mandate is to provide for a framework of regulation of the private security services industry.

NEW DELHI, November 15: The day of November 14 reminds us as the “Children’s Day” and educates the people what Nehru had done for the people of the northeast region. However, from Nehru to Narendra Modi, all the Prime Ministers of India have committed to impose Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) 1958 in the region and have been exploiting people under this law, said Manipur Student’s Association Delhi (MSAD) in a press release.
MSAD further stated in the press release that Narendra Modi has been travelling around the world and busy in meeting across the Indian Diaspora communities but he has no time to meet Irom Sharmila Chanu, which eventually has shown the hypocritic nature of the rulers of the Indian state without an exception.
In the parliamentary debate on August 23, 1956, Nehru made a statement like “I should like the house to remember that they should look at this in the larger context of our general policy in these areas, not only in Naga Hills but in the NEFA (Arunachal Pradesh) and neighboring areas. Many of these areas were for the first time brought under some kind of administration during the last six to eight years” (Nehru’s speech: 1953-57: 490), said the press release.
It said, the statement had shown that Nehru was not only interested in the Naga Hills but wanted a ‘general policy’ for all areas in the Northeast. He further said, “We had to send some of our forces with rifles and we did it without fuss. But we proceeded slowly, because we had the object of winning them over and not merely crushing them. We had of course to shoot some because they shot at us.” He added, “Our instruction is that patience must be exercised because we want to win over these people, but make it clear to the hostile that a person who used his gun against us will be met with gun and army can’t be withdrawn” (Nehru’s speech: August 23, 1956).
Nehru had already presumed that the State was at war with the people of the region and it reflected the content of India’s general policies in the region at that time. Nehru’s mind and attitude towards the region could be understood from the statement he made on August 23, 1956, which was two years before AFSPA was passed in 1958, said the press release.
MSAD also stated in the press release that AFSPA is one of the most draconian legislations made by Nehru as a Prime Minister of India in 1958 as a gift to the racially different people of India to suppress and oppress the mind and body of the people as a bondage to the martial law.
November 14 is a day which is not meant to be a day of celebration for the children where sweets are distributed, instead it is the day for condolence as to remember the architect of AFSPA which has been producing thousands of widows, orphanages, survivor of rapes, disappearances and killing of people, said MSAD in the press release.

Dr. Don Berwick’s critics have vilified him for making comments favoring the United Kingdom’s national health plan and have cast him as a proponent of health care rationing. To his supporters, however, he is the chief cheerleader for changing health care in the country, providing impassioned reminders to those working to implement the complicated Affordable Care Act about what they are shooting for: better health care and lower costs.
Berwick left his role as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services last week, after about 17 months on the job, and returned to his Newton home after Republican senators said they would block his confirmation and prevent him from serving beyond the end of the year. He said in an interview today that the nation needs more advocates for the law.
“The law is just a framework,” he said, in an interview given just after he received an award at the annual conference of the Cambridge-based Institute for Healthcare Improvement, which he led for nearly 20 years. “Health care in America can’t improve and it can’t become sustainable without a tremendous amount of community involvement.”
President Obama has a role in that, he said. So do health care consumers who should push health care leaders to rethink the way they work, he said. Increasingly, though, that advocacy role is falling to physicians, nurses, and hospital executives.
“We need their voices, because they know the system can’t go on the way it is,” he said.
Berwick, who was appointed by President Obama during a recess, said he regrets not having a confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, not because he thinks he would have won over his critics, but because it would have provided an opportunity to defend a policy he believes in.
“I think that a lot of the public concern about that law and a lot of the congressional criticism is ill-founded and based on myths,” he said. “I think any chance to air publicly, with conversation and even debate, matters of such concern is healthy.”
Berwick said he would not second guess the decision by the White House not to push for a hearing. He declined to say whether he made an appeal to Obama directly, saying his conversations with the president and his staff are confidential.
Back in Massachusetts, Berwick said he is excited that the state is “entering an experimental period” as it grapples with how to curb health care costs. The governor has proposed a plan, pending in the Legislature, that would dramatically change how hospitals and doctors are paid.
Just as it led the way with providing coverage for nearly all residents, Massachusetts will be “learning for the nation” about how to control costs, Berwick said.
He said he worries about the future of Medicaid, as budget pressures at the state and federal levels threaten cuts to the program for the poor and disabled.
“Unfortunately there is sometimes a false concern that it’s zero sum—if the poor get help the elderly won’t,” he said. “Better care will help everybody.”
During a visit to Boston Monday, Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Bill Corr called Berwick “one of our nation’s most outstanding leaders.”
“He’s envisioned how you take all these tools in the Affordable Care Act and you really use them to the maximum extent to really improve health and to lower costs,” he said.
Corr has confidence in Berwick’s replacement.
Marilyn Tavenner has been named acting administrator, pending Senate confirmation, and Republican leaders so far have received her nomination with little fanfare.
The role is familiar for Tavenner, who Berwick called a “methodical, disciplined and very broad-band operating leader.” She was named acting administrator of the agency in February 2010 then handed the reins to Berwick that summer. Previously, she oversaw health and human services in Virginia under Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine and was an executive for the Hospital Corporation of America after starting her career as a nurse.
Berwick said he is looking forward to spending time with his family, including two young grandsons and his wife, Ann Berwick, who is chairwoman of the state Department of Public Utilities. He has not made any decisions about what’s next for him, including whether he will assume a role at the Cambridge institute.
“I’m excited by how much is in motion in health care right now,” he said. “It’s an incredibly interesting and promising time with many risks, and I want to stay thoroughly engaged in reshaping American health care into the high-performance, sustainable system I know it can be.”

Take Back the US Senate. Defeat Republican Senator Mitch McConnell Donate to support Democrat Amy McGrath!
Senator Mitch McConnell has vowed to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg
As Senate Majority Leader since 2015, McConnell has also tried to obstruct Obama administration nominees. His decision to block Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 has been frequently derided by Democrats as has his recent decision to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just weeks out of the election.
"If I'm still the majority leader of the Senate, think of me as the Grim Reaper," McConnell said in April about Democrat proposals. "None of that stuff is going to pass. None of it. McConnell, 77, has been in office since 1985 and has cruised to election victories in the Bluegrass state, which is among the most Republican-leaning in the country. The last time he failed to draw 53% of the vote was in 1990.
While McConnell still has a strong chance of re-election, the winds may possibly be shifting in Kentucky. McConnell’s top Democratic challenger in 2020 is former Marine Amy McGrath, who may feel emboldened by the recent election win of Kentucky Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andy Beshear. Beshear earned a tight victory over incumbent Matt Bevin, a close ally of Trump. Trump had won Kentucky by nearly 30% in 2016.

A successful businesswoman once asked me to negotiate for her in buying out her partner’s interest in a piece of property.
The negotiation, as sometimes occurs in partnership disputes gone bad, was ugly. Unfortunately, their relationship was poor. In fact, at one point, this businesswoman suggested I portray her as acting irrationally.
“Tell (my partner) I’m extremely upset,” she told me, “and tell him I’m just not acting rationally.”
I didn’t think this would be an effective strategy. Her partner knew her well and knew she had not succeeded in business by acting irrationally in significant financial disputes. In other words, it wouldn’t be credible and would likely backfire.
Negotiating with Irrational People is Difficult
But this businesswoman intuitively knew that it’s extremely difficult to effectively negotiate with irrational individuals. Have you ever tried to negotiate with someone whose judgment has been so clouded with emotion that he or she literally can’t think straight? It’s tough.
Oftentimes, we respond by simply giving in. Irrational behavior makes us uneasy, and it increases our tendency to concede as this relieves our discomfort.
So what should you do when faced with irrational behavior or an irrational counter-party?
1. Take a Breath
First, take a deep breath. This is not your garden-variety negotiation and it will require you to dig deeper than usual into your negotiation toolbox.
For instance, it’s critical to initially determine, to the extent possible, if your counter-party is truly irrational or is just trying to appear irrational as a negotiation ploy. Unfortunately, this is not an exact science. Yet, you can find out important clues in this regard by thoroughly researching the person’s reputation.
2. Look for Clues – Is It an Act?
Then closely observe and evaluate the sincerity of your counter-party’s allegedly irrational actions. Listen carefully to what that person is telling you – verbally and nonverbally.
Are their actions consistently irrational, or is their irrational behavior limited to certain instances or episodic in nature? The more limited and inconsistent the irrational behavior, the more likely it’s a ploy.
Perhaps the most famous “irrational” negotiation ploy involved former Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev. It occurred at the United Nations when Krushchev practically woke up the world by pounding his shoe on a table to emphasize a point.
Our natural response? Give him whatever he wants. He’s crazy, and he’s got his finger on the nuclear trigger. We can’t take the chance that he’ll push it, so we better concede.
A published photo of Krushchev’s shoe-pounding antic later found him with two shoes on his feet while he pounded a third shoe on the table.
So what should we do with the Krushchevs of this world?
3. If It’s an Act, Let Them Know You Know, & Treat Them as Rational
Find an opportunity to openly point out our knowledge of their acting talents. Then treat them like any other rational but tricky negotiation opponent.
4. If They Are Irrational, Find Out Why
What if you determine your counter-party really is irrational or their judgment truly has been temporarily clouded?
Explore the reasons underlying their irrational behavior. Find out why they’re so consumed with anger that they can’t listen to reason. Perhaps it’s a personality conflict. Or perhaps an unrelated event has put them into this temporary state of mind.
5. Address the Cause, or Change Negotiation Parties
Once you know the reason, you likely will be able to address it. If it’s an irreconcilable personality conflict, change the negotiation parties. Ask to speak to your counter-party’s boss or colleague.
Alternatively, you could ask your own colleague to negotiate on your behalf.
6. If It’s Related to Recent Events, Take a Break
If it’s an emotional outburst or related to a recent traumatic event, take a break. Given sufficient time, individuals often will become more reasoned and reasonable.
And if none of this works, re-evaluate your leverage and your alternative to this agreement. How much do you really need or want an agreement with an irrational individual?
After all, terminating the negotiation may be your only rational course of action.

Procaine is a local anesthetic with a para-amino function. Sensitization mainly concerns medical, dental and veterinary professions.
- Additional information
Procaine CAS 59-46-1 Product Information
|Synonyms:||2-(Diethylamino)ethyl 4-aminobenzoate;2-(Diethylamino)ethyl p-aminobenzoate;2-(diethylamino)ethylp-aminobenzoate;2-diethylaminoethyl4-aminobenzoate;2-Diethylaminoethylester kyseliny p-aminobenzoove;2-diethylaminoethylesterkyselinyp-aminobenzoove;2-diethylaminoethylp-aminobenzoate;4-Aminobenzoic acid diethylaminoethyl ester|
|Boiling Point:||373.6°C at 760 mmHg|
|Appearance:||White Crystalline Powder|
|Applications:||They are mainly used in dental or medical procedures requiring infiltration anaesthesia, peripheral block, or spinal block.|
|Storage:||Stored in a clean, cool and dry area and keep away from strong , direct light|
Procaine is a local anesthetic drug of the amino ester group. It is most commonly used in dental procedures to numb the area around a tooth and is also used to reduce the pain of intramuscular injection of penicillin. Owing to the ubiquity of the trade name Novocain or Novocaine, in some regions, procaine is referred to generically as novocaine. It acts mainly as a sodium channel blocker. Today, it is used therapeutically in some countries due to its sympatholytic, anti-inflammatory, perfusion-enhancing, and mood-enhancing effects.
penicillin g procaine uses
Penicillin G procaine is an antibiotic that is given by injection into a muscle. It is approved to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It does not work to treat viral infections, such as the common cold.
- The first consists of the direct reaction of the 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester with 2-diethylaminoethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide.
- The second is by oxidizing 4-nitrotoluene to 4-nitrobenzoic acid, which is further reacted with thionyl chloride, the resulting acid chloride is then esterified with 2-diethylaminoethanol to give Nitrocaine. Finally, the nitro group is reduced by hydrogenation over Raney nickel catalyst.
Where can i buy procaine powder?
We are Chinese professional supplier of procaine powder, contactless Delivery Available,customized packaging is available, and your inquiry is always welcome.
procaine vs benzocaine
Benzocaine is structurally similar to procaine except that it lacks a terminal diethyl amino group. Benzocaine is available as a dusting powder or as oil in an ointment for surface application. Benzocaine is relatively nonirritating to tissues, and after absorption, it is metabolized to PABA and acetyl PABA.

As you begin the home buying process, your Realtor will likely ask if you want him or her to work as a Seller's Agent or a Buyer's Agent. What is the difference?
The state of Wisconsin requires that we as Realtors have a signed contract with one of the parties involved in the sale of home. Unless you are looking at an FSBO, the sellers have a signed contract with the listing agent. With MLS and Wisconsin rules, the Realtor helping the buyer can be considered a subagent of the Seller. It is like building a home. Someone hires a general contractor (the listing agent) who may hire someone else to do parts of the building process (the agent who is helping the buyer). In a case like this, the Realtor who is helping the Buyer is still considered to be working for the Seller and must put the Seller's interests first.
You might prefer to make sure that your Realtor is working only for you. You may want the pricing help and negotiating advice that a Seller's Agent cannot give you. In this case, hire a Buyer's Agent. You and your Realtor will fill out a contract called a Buyer's Agency Agreement. You can determine all the terms on the contract - how long it runs for, what type of properties it covers and more.
One caveat: if you purchases any property covered under the terms on the contract while it is still active, the Realtor may be legally entitled to a commission even if you work with someone else. Do not sign a Buyer's Agency Agreement unless you are certain that this is the Realtor you absolutely want to work with during your home buying process.
Not everyone chooses to work with a Buyer's Agent, but it is much more common than it was twenty years ago. A Buyer's Agent can be your best resource in the home buying process.

Another drilling ship is to join the two Turkish drill ships that continue to operate in a disputed area in the Eastern Mediterranean Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Donmez has said. Natural resources in the area have been increasing tensions between Turkey and Cyprus.
Donmez told reporters on the drillship Yavuz that a second exploration vessel would begin work in the area by the end of August. A Turkish frigate and patrol boat accompanied the Yavuz.
“Fatih is continuing to drill in the Finike-1 borehole in the areas licensed to Turkey. Yavuz is continuing its operations in the Karpaz-1 borehole,” he said earlier this week, adding that “the Oruc Reis seismic exploration ship will join this work as of the end of August”.
EU foreign ministers last month suspended negotiations on a comprehensive air transport agreement and decided not to hold further EU-Turkey high-level dialogue for the time being.
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci are scheduled today August 9th to discuss ways to break the current peace talks impasse. Akinci said the Greek Cypriot side was making unilateral attempts to explore for natural gas in the eastern Mediterranean despite repeated Turkish Cypriot proposals to resolve the issue.
“This doesn’t leave the Cypriot Turkish side and Turkey with any choice other than what we are doing right now,” Akinci told Reuters TV.

FAIRHAVEN — Although the Case High School varsity football team was hoping to rebound after being shutout by Seekonk a week earlier, the Cardinals found themselves in a similar situation, suffering a 30-0 shutout loss to South Coast Conference rival Fairhaven High School on Friday night at Cushman Park.
"It was ugly," said Case head coach Ryan Moniz. "We are not a team to make excuses, but this is a tremendously tough conference.
However, I'm very proud to be coaching in it."
"Fairhaven is a tough team and they played very physical tonight," he continued. "They are similar to us in school enrollment.
They are a senior-laden group and they've learned how to win. I think they have a good backfield and their line is very good. They are what we're trying to be. Teams like this are the model schools of what we are trying to be like in terms of what they have done (with their program)."
In the first quarter, the Cardinals fumbled the ball on their opening possession and the Blue Devils recovered it. Thirteen plays later, Eric Stroud, who missed the last two games because of an ankle injury, put Fairhaven on the board nine seconds into the second quarter with a nine-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Taylor Motta then rushed for two points, giving the Blue Devils an 8-0 lead.
On their ensuing possession, Case turned over the ball on downs and Fairhaven wasted no time scoring. Lasting seven plays, Zach LeBlanc capped a 57-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown run and Myles Perron-Sovik added two more to increase the Blue Devils advantage to 16-0 with 3:33 left in the period.
While Case was hoping to put together a scoring drive on their next possession, they ended up going three and out, before Motta connected with Perron-Sovik on a 15-yard touchdown pass to make it 22-0 with 48 seconds left in the half.
It was more of the same in the third quarter as the Blue Devils opened the second half with another Stroud touchdown run and then LeBlanc succeeded with the two-point conversion to make it 30-0 with
7:36 to go in the period.
After the Cardinals were forced to punt on their ensuing possession, the Blue Devils almost scored again, but the Cardinals' defense forced Jestin Guillotte to fumble the ball at the Case 3 and neither team came close to scoring again during the rest of the game.
"We didn't capitalize and that's all there is to it," said coach Moniz. "We do have some senior leadership at some positions. In the line we started three sophomores tonight. We have an opportunity to get better and these younger kids have an opportunity to get some game time experience. This is going to carry over and go along way. It's going to help us out in the long run with being able to compete in the South Coast Conference."
While Coach Moniz was pleased to get back some players in this game, most notably freshman Taylor Furtado who suffered a concussion against Bourne High School on Oct. 2, he said his defense suffered without senior Adam Gibeau who had the flu.
"We got a little healthier this week. He had some guys play that really weren't expected to play," he said. "We got Taylor back, but we lost Adam Gibeau who is really the cornerstone of our defense. He's our nose guard and Fairhaven ran a ton without having his presence tonight."
With the loss, the Cardinals drop to 1-6 for the season and 0-6 in the South Coast Conference. Case's only victory so far came in their season opener when Boston Latin Academy had to forfeit a 30-22 win because it used an ineligible player in the game.
The Cardinals will return to action on Friday when they host South Coast Conference opponent Wareham High School at 7 p.m.

I recommend that you begin teaching your dog how to sit and stay prior to beginning any leash training! Having a reliable sit and stay will enable you to ask for this command if your pup starts pulling on the leash. This will help you refocus his attention and help him get back to your side! It is also safer to have a dog that has a reliable sit and stay, so that you are not pulled out into traffic while walking together! Leash training, like all dog training, requires immense amounts of patience on both your parts! But, the payoff will be a well-trained dog that all of your friends envy, and builds a relationship of love and trust! So, grab your clicker and a pocket full of treats and get out there! Have some fun together while learning valuable skills! When your dog has mastered leash walking check out loose leash training!
Daily exercise is a must for dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. Finding a well made, durable leash that’s comfortable for both you and your pet is key to keeping your dog active and happy. Even if you have a large, fenced-in backyard, walking your pup around new places gives him a chance to explore and helps to socialize him to other humans and other dogs. While you may consider a leash a simple purchase, finding a leash that best suits your dog’s needs can be a tall order. Whether he’s a puller or a runner, we’ve sifted through the options and found the best products for every type of dog.

text: The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into nonconducting polymers has been observed to yield orders of magnitude increases in conductivity at very low concentrations of CNTs. These low percolation concentrations have been attributed to both the formation of conductive networks of CNTs within the polymer and to a nanoscale effect associated with the ability of electrons to transfer from one CNT to another known as electron hopping. In the present work, a micromechanics model is developed to assess the impact of the effects of electron hopping and the formation of conductive networks on the electrical conductivity of CNT-polymer nanocomposites. The micromechanics model uses the composite cylinders model as a nanoscale representative volume element where the effects of electron hopping are introduced in the form of a continuum interphase layer, resulting in a distinct percolation concentration associated with electron hopping. Changes in the aspect ratio of the nanoscale representative volume element are used to reflect the changes in nanocomposite conductivity associated with the formation of conductive networks due to the formation of nanotube bundles. The model results are compared with experimental data in the literature for both single- and multi-walled CNT nanocomposites where it is observed that the model developed is able to qualitatively explain the relative impact of electron hopping and nanotube bundling on the nanocomposite conductivity and percolation concentrations.

It is always a pleasure to visit Barcelona. Indeed, its modernist monuments and its historic district make millions of tourists dream and attract them every year. To escape the crowds and get to know Barcelonians’ Barcelona, we recommend that you visit Horta, an authentic historical district where you can walk and enjoy the city's atmosphere as a resident. On board our Renfe-SNCF in Cooperation High Speed Trains, you can relax and think about the places you want to (re)see, while we take you to the Catalan capital in the safest and most ecological way possible.
A bit of history…
Until 1904, Horta was an independent municipality known as San Juan de Horta, the name of its church. Its name is actually that of the family that owned the land from 1036 to 1260. In 1901, the tramway linked Horta to Barcelona, then it was the subway's turn. While Horta is now a district of Barcelona, you can still walk around it as if you were in a small village where you can clearly see the old part of town, built at the time around Ibiza Square.
Some visits in Horta
It is obligatory to visit its monuments and get lost in its streets
If you go to Horta, be sure to get lost in the Labyrinth Park of Horta. It is the oldest garden in Barcelona, which is divided into several parts. Its neoclassical part dates back to 1794 and belonged to the property of the Marquises of Alfarrás at that time, and in its center there is a statue of Eros, the Greek god of love. You can also stroll through the park's romantic gardens or discover the recently opened bonzai section.
If you like sports, be sure to visit the Velòdrom d'Horta. Inaugurated in 1983 for the World Track Cycling Championship, it also hosted track cycling competitions during the 1992 Olympic Games.
If you can't resist the market atmosphere, you'll love Horta's. Inaugurated in 1951, Horta’s Market is a covered market whose atmosphere and products attract not only local residents, but also buyers from a little further afield.
Eating in Horta
The neighborhood has barely changed since joining the city and still retains its charm
If you want to taste typical Catalan dishes, go to the Sant Fost restaurant, located at Carrer del Tajo, nº 8; the dishes are exceptional, homemade and the prices are reasonable. If you like meat, La Cuineta d'Horta -Carrer de Petrarca, nº 40- offers meat dishes that combine the traditions of Bolivian and Catalan cuisine. To enjoy a few tapas, Quimet d'Horta, located in the square of Eivissa, nº 10, is a tapas bar with a friendly atmosphere and delicious tapas, all without breaking the bank.
For a drink in the evening, Samba Brasil or Torre Rosa bars are ideal!
To return home after your stay in Barcelona, board our Renfe-SNCF in Cooperation trains, sit comfortably in an armchair and let yourself be guided. We will take care of everything until you arrive.

Just wondering what others thought.
Do you consider it cheating when playing partners and two people are in private chat?
It is quite annoying and slows the game down while you wait for them to plan their next move.
When I find out what they are doing I leave after the game is over.
Just another good reason for me to play without a mic.

In the singer’s latest weird news, Ke$ha made a bra, a headdress, and a necklace out of her fans’ teeth — 1000 of them. She asked her fans to send their teeth to her, and the response was overwhelming. It must feel nice to know that every morning when Ke$ha slips on her bra, she is thinking of all of her fans. I literally shuddered as I wrote that.
In all seriousness, there has to be a reason Ke$ha did this. Ke$ha has spoken several times about wanting to get closer to her fans and having an immense appreciation for them. I guess she has taken the whole fan-singer relationship to a whole new level.
Ke$ha’s memoir “My Crazy Beautiful Life” came out on Tuesday, promising fans an intimate look into her everyday shenanigans. I really hope there’s an explanation of this odd wardrobe choice somewhere in the depths of her literary genius.
