With the larger males of the group gathering bodies in the fog, with the aid of Iara's Fey Magicks to aid their search, the group quickly amasses a sizable pile of bodies through which to search.

The Monk wore little, as expected, a single ring adorned one of his hands and a worn pair of Leather Bracers which were barely distinguishable from his own scarred skin rested upon his forearms. The Druid though was wearing Leather Armor and carried a finely crafted sickle with an etched wave motif upon the blade and a bright blue leather wrapped handle.

The gear used by the lackies was nothing spectacular, the most noteworthy items including a few potions and magical oils carried by the bandits (one could easily assume they had at one point robbed a traveling Alchemist). Much to Iara's disgust, the two bandits that had brandished sword and shield against them each carried a dagger fashioned of Cold Iron. ((2 total))

Given his expertise in the matter Zick is quickly able to determine what the assorted potions and oils can do, announcing that all said and done the group had a stash consisting of 6 potions of Cure Light Wounds, 2 potions of Bull's Strength, 2 potions of Hide From Animals, 1 potion of Invisibility, 1 potion of Cure Moderate Wounds, 2 oil of Magic Weapon, as well as 2 flasks of Alchemist's Fire, 2 flasks of Holy Water, and 4 flasks that turned out to be ordinary lantern oil.

The other gear gathered and set aside consists mostly of the bandits' weapons and armor, including the following. 3 suits of well crafted, though heavily used, Studded Leather Armor, 1 Hand Crossbow, a Rapier, 2 Breastplates, 2 Heavy Shields fashioned of wood, 2 Heavy Crossbows, 2 Long Swords, 4 well crafted and blood-stained Hand Axes, 2 well crafted Heavy Crossbows, 2 Whetstones, 4 Tindertwigs, 2 Holy Symbols of Pharasma fashioned of wood, and 2 nearly depleted Healer's Kits, combining the two into one kit provides enough supplies for 4 uses. Among the group there were also 98 crossbow bolts, and pouches containing a total of 205 gold coins.

Loot Baby

Iara hissed at the sight of the cold iron blades and delivered a swift kick to the fallen bandit that had carried them. There was only one reason to carry weapons forged of cold iron. They were hunting faeries. It ha become personal.

Keeping the full weight of the revelation to herself, Iara set herself to studying the few items that glowed with a magical aura. She found only a few minor enchantments. While few among them would do her any good, her new companions might find a use for them. In an odd moment of forthright honesty, Iara revealed her discoveries to the group detailing the effects of each enchantment she found.

Once the wealth has been dispersed among them, Iara turned her focus to the cabin. What would they find in there?

"Well boys," Iara spoke with a twinkle in her eyes. "There is naught to go but forward. Let us see what else lies hidden here."

((OOC: Magic Items: Ring of Protection +1, Bracers of Armor +1, +1 Leather Armor, and one crossbow bolt with a sleep enchantment))

Savis just bounded forward with a childlike gleefulness that refused to go away. The loot was interesting but nothing really caught his eye. That is until he saw the potions.

His eyes lit up with amazement and interest as he thought about attempting to recreate them, figuring out exactly what was put inside and what they did. Although he didn't outwardly ask for any, not wanting to take anything that his new friends wanted.

Savis said "If you need me to do anything just let me know!". He couldn't fight another grin of his face.

To share the loot, and then move on.

(Post can be modified if Birdman wants to adjust anything discussed without his input in Q&A)

Zick looks at all of the items they acquired from the bandits. He loved potions. But he really loved permanent magic items. Like armor he could wear. He fingered the leather armor that was magical and looked up at the others. "Being magical, this should shrink to fit even my muscular form. A little protection would go a long way." He waited for an assent from the others before stripping the treasured defense from the woman. "Savis, if the others agree, why don't you take the ring of protection? You seem to be the one that is taking the brunt of the fighting and it might help." He looked up at Mattias as he said it and added, "I know this leaves you without one of the better items, but perhaps you could have your pick of the potions? And if there are more bandits, or maybe we go back and deal with that beast that was also mentioned on the board, you can have the choice of the next set of items? But this should not be decided without you."

Waiting for the Birdman to answer Zick added, "Since I'm almost out of bombs at the moment, I'll take the alchemist fires for now, if that is ok. Maybe later it will make sense to switch that if they don't get used. I'll also grab a couple of the lamp oils - they might work well with the fire or my bombs. The potion of invisibility would be my next pick of the actual magic items, but Mattias gets first pick there."

Once the loot was divided he added, "I'll take a few minutes and put on the armor - maybe the fog will have cleared a bit by that time. If not, we can always storm the castle even through a bit of mist. But lets move cautiously and look for traps as we go. There probably won't be one on the entrance - the others came charging out, but once inside, there should be any rush."

Moving forward

Taking time to divvy out the loot and allowing Zick time to chance his armor allows for enough time to pass that the fog cloud has dissipated and the entrance into the cabin is no longer obscured.

Stepping in through the front entrance, now simply an open doorway, the group finds themselves in a room 30 feet by 20 feet. Along the right wall are 4 sets of bunk beds, each set with a small footlocker on the floor at the foot of the bed. In the center of the right wall is a doorway (with no door) leading into the kitchen area you had noticed when peering into the front window. In the corner and scattered along the far wall are the spoils of the bandits' many raids on traveling caravans.

Starting with the foot lockers, you find that each one is divided in half, presumably being the personal shares of the bandits that shared the bunk the foot locker was placed next to. The amassed total of the valuables found hidden away in each chest (along with several sets of extra clothes) comes to 200 silver pieces, 15 gold pieces, and an assortment of precious stones and minerals of varying size, shape and color, the exact values of which you cannot be sure, though there are 24 stones total.

Moving to the stash of goods in the corner you first notice a mannequin set up, wearing an intricately crafted gown of fine bright green silk, silver embroidered patterns, and black accents. You assume the dress was custom ordered, and likely quite expensive. In a nearby crate you find several rolls of assorted cloths, a small box containing a pin cushion full of needles, thimbles, several spools of thread, and a pair of shears. It would appear one of the caravans they hit had a tailor, and a skilled one at that, in their midst. In a small box next to the crate of cloth you also find a polished chalice fashioned from a darkly colored wood and a silver bowl with engravings of lions. Among the spoils there is another small box containing 50 silver pieces, 4 gold pieces, and a potion. A weapon rack holds a finely crafted battleaxe, the edges honed to a fine razor edge and it appears to have never seen combat. The handle has a spiraled design and the grip is of alligator hide. ((Masterwork battleaxe, not magic)). The rest of the crates and barrels seem to contain trade goods, such as sacks of tobacco in one crate, a crate containing bags of flour, a barrel of mead, and a case of wine missing 2 bottles ((so 7 bottles we'll say)). You quickly realize the chances of taking all of this out with you will be pretty slim as you traveled here on foot.

Moving into the kitchen area you find a fairly basic and simple kitchen space, measuring 20 feet by 20 feet. In the bottom left corner of the room is a simple wood burning stove with a pot and a kettle on top. A small island in the center of the kitchen has a cutting board and a kitchen knife laid out, and a rack hanging over the island holds several different sized pots and pans. A cabinet in the upper left corner holds simple clay dishes, plates, classes, bowls, and a tray of cutlery. A pantry next to the front window holds several loaves of bread, a mostly eaten cheese wheel, a small sack of flour, some salted meats, and a small travel keg of ale which is nearly empty. Nothing stands out in this space, however there is a door northern wall which is closed and locked.

Zick quickly dug through his pack and produced the rolled bundle of picks and set to work on the lock, easily unlocking the door pushing it open. With the light coming in from the open backdoor the first thing to draw your eyes is a rack in the center of the room, the ropes used to bind whichever poor soul this was used on stained black with dried blood. An armoire stands against the the left wall in the corner, and the far right wall has a large, yet crude bed. ((think rough, rustic, untreated beam posts at the head/foot of bed)). Perhaps more disturbing than the rack though is the wall mounted display over the bead with various implements of torture, cat-o-nine tails, riding crops, a whip, several metal rods of varied thickness about 2 feet long, and manacles.

The lock on the armoire is no match for Zick's skill and lock picks, and the little alchemist is quickly able to pull the doors open revealing a silver chalice with dragon carvings, and a beautiful gold and silver hand mirror sitting on the bottom of the space. There are a couple changes of clothes also in the drawers, and among those clothes you find another precious stone and a silver mask a noble might wear to a masquerade ball. Iara conducts a much more detailed search of the armoire and finds a hidden release which opens a false bottom, revealing a small locked box.

Zick again proves himself more than adept enough to crack the lock on this chest and inside finds a small sack containing 50 gold pieces, 4 more precious stones, and a black ring with a motif of a cracked skull. Also hidden within the secret compartment is a bundle of letters, however upon examination they appear to be written in a language none of you can read. You do get the sense though that these letters may hold valuable information.

Further efforts do not turn up anything else of value, nor are you able to uncover any other hidden secrets within the cabin. Now you must decide what you will take back to town with you, what to do with the remaining items, and how to divvy up the rest of the loot you have claimed.

((I am already assuming all coin, stones, and the ring are being taken, as well as the letters, potion (which Zick easily determines is another potion of Hide from Animals), chalices, bowl, mirror, and mask, as all of these are easy enough to slip into your packs for the trek back to town.))

Pack up and Go

Iara crouched down as they sifted through the Crimson Fist holdings. There was little to learn from what they found; a dress, coin and gems, finely crafted weapons, and the everyday stuff of life. It was no surprise that an anarchist band would have a room dedicated to violent interrogation. Their only real discovery had been the letters, which none among them could decipher. Still, the faery held these tight in her hand. If she could not read them herself, she would find magics to do it for her. This had become personal. Two among them had held weapons forged of dreaded iron, and she was determined to uncover all there was to know of the Crimson Fist.

Her dark eyes moved from the illegible letters to take in the skull ring. Necromantic magic radiated from the wretched thing. Iara hated the undead and all who traded in the magics of death, even those magics used to fight such abominations. With a wave of her hand she sent a trickle of fey magic to lift the ring up and spin it as it floated before their eyes.

"This is the only item of magic we've found in their cottage. It will give the one who wears it the power to sunder the undead with a touch. It might prove useful to one of you? Or we might sell it?" Iara let her gaze move over the three men. "We should make our way back to the city. From there we can decide the next course."

Iara let her gaze remain on her three companions, never letting her grasp on the letters loosen.

Savis maintained his energy and enthusiasm, practically bouncing up and down as he saw Zick easily pick every single lock. He was silently amazed as his companions accomplished things he barely understood. When Zick was finished, he would bound up and say with a big grin

"Good job Zick!".

Savis was equally.. no even more entranced by Iara. He subconsciously was keeping track of her as she moved throughout the room, her dark eyes sweeping through everything. The magic that she cast... It was so much more different than the one he was taught. He was also amazed by it, smiling with wonder to himself.

Savis listened to Iara whenever she spoke, his eyes slightly to the left of her face as he felt.. weird.. At the mention of necromancy, he made a face of childish disgust, as if he drank beer for the first time.

He didn't comment on it but if asked whether he wanted it, he would say.

"No thanks. I'm not really into that kind of stuff.".

Savis tried to stay as unobtrusive as possible, just helping out when people asked for his help but he would try not to "step on their toes".

fast forwarding by popular demand...

((For the sake of moving forward and getting things moving again, I am going to gloss over a few things, will not provide transcripts of every letter, and will also fast forward through the selling of the loot.))

The group makes the walk back from the clearing in the woods feeling good about how that had gone, even if somewhat over-burdened by the bulk of the items they had "recovered" from the thugs.

Once back in the city it was no trouble finding a merchant willing to pay for the good you are trying to sell, and once all is said and done and payment is split among the 4 of you you each walk away with an additional 939 gp, 2 sp, and 5 cp in your pouch. ((This does not include the ring as I was unclear on if the group intended to sell it or keep it on the off chance it may come in handy. It did include the various "art" items, the chalices, mirror, mask, etc, as those were just loot to be sold, no importance to the plot as you may have thought.))

With the money in hand the group then splits and goes about spending their portion as they see fit with the understanding that they would meet back at the job board in 30 minutes to proceed to the Captain and collect on their bounty. ((I know Nimu was going to get a scroll to translate the letters, so I will handle that, anything else the rest of you want to spend money on during this break in town, let me know.))

Iara's hunt for a scroll of Comprehend Languages is successful and only costs her 25 gp. Finding a nice quiet space she is able to cast the spell and read the letters before it is time to meet back with the group to claim their reward for the bounty. ((PM coming soon, share what you like from there..))

Meeting back at the agreed upon time you all head toward the Office of the Guard Captain, Sigurd Crassus. Presenting to him both the bill posted for the bounty and the crimson bands you recovered he states, "So that is where our bounty posting went off to... for future reference though bounty hunters, official bounties such as this are not removed from the work board as you would for a private posting." He examines the bands, satisfied they are legit, and not a ruse to get free money, he holds up the two larger sashes and smiles wide, "These sashes denote a bandit of higher "rank", likely two important figures within the gang, great job getting these two. I see from the singe marks that they did not go down without a fight." He turns to a locked coffer on a shelf behind him, pulls out several pouches of coins. Pouring one out on the desk in front of him he announces, "For the 5 smaller bands, those belonging to the rank and file thugs, I can pay out 60 gold coins each, split evenly among the four of you that would be 75 gold. For the larger sashes, I will pay you 10 platinum coins each." ((that's 10 plat for each of you, not 10 plat per sash, in case that isn't clear))

Picking up the remaining coins he stuffs them back into their pouch and locks them back into the coffer upon the shelf, "You have done us all a great service, thank you, and please go enjoy the festival with your earnings."

update day!

Savis stands with his companions, unsure of what exactly will happen with the guards but always eager to prove himself. He tries his best to find a spell scroll (but fails miserably, he's awful at finding what anything is aside from ingredients)

At the very large payout, his eyes widen and he takes the money rather gratefully. When they all get to an appropriate place to talk, Savis smiles and bounds up and down.

He says eagerly:
"Is there anything else we have to do? We're a team now.. right?"

((Assuming there is going to be an appropriate amount of downtime, Savis will go to the alchemists market and look for healing herbs and what not. If he's going to be at the front line, he figures he'll need a ton of healing potions.))

Plans and such

Zebulonicasarius Zickerthorn smiled as Savis jumped around after getting paid.

"A team? Yeah, sure, I'm up for that. How about you two?" he asked, turning to the Birdman and Angel. They had been an effective team and each seemed to bring something special to the table.

Upon hearing the response of the others to Savis' question, he added another comment of his own. "I need to go back to the Alchemists guildhall. I want to make up a new set of bombs and other concoctions - they seemed to have been pretty helpful. If there is anything alchemical you'd like, let me know and I can see if I can manage it. It will take a bit of time. then, maybe we can see if that monster still needs hunting."

Wretched Letters

Iara sifted through the letters with a look of disgust painted across her face. Every word darkened her glower. Sensing the danger in her mood, the pernicious fey around were, for a blessed moment, quiet. A respite from their antics would have been welcome, but with the severity of the moment it did little to ease her mind.

Already having read through the pile twice, the faerie turned her dark eyes to pierce the writing for a third reading. At first it had seemed to be little more than banal criminal correspondence. The writer of the letters referred to himself only as "Speaker" and represented the interests of some clandestine organization referred to as the Black Hand. Speaker demanded the delivery of a host of reagents; sulfur, quicksilver, nightshade, darkoil, silverbark sap, the blood of an angel... the list continued on ad infinitum. Following delays in delivery, Speaker began to threaten the Crimson Fist by withdrawing support of their activities and other such similar actions. It was all dreadfully predictable.

"Give me this or I'll kill you. I'm tired of waiting, give it to me now or you will suffer. Oh yes, you will suffer."

It was full of the bravado typical of small minded men, and it was terribly boring. Had it not been for the final letter, Iara would have dismissed it all as inconsequential mortal blather. Holding that wretched page she read the horrid words once again.

The Masters grow tired of your failures and excuses. You have 48 hours to deliver the materials we need or we will move forward with our plans and you will face the reckoning along with everyone else. The plan moves forward two days after the start of Autumn. Tuldoroc will be the first to fall to our reckoning, and we are not above taking you down with the city.

Do not fail us again,

Iara hissed. This was not the discord she was looking for; it rang of sieges, austerity, and war. She had no interest in any of that. Given time she might be able to ferret out the source and stop it, but time was decidedly in short supply. Another curse left her lips as a polished stoneware cup flew across the room.

With the time to reconvene upon them, Iara walked up to the three men wearing a coy smile. Having delayed her departure a few extra moments, she was the last to arrive and she rather liked the idea of the others waiting on her, even if only for a moment. That levity quickly died and she shot them all a blisteringly serious glare.

"We have a serious problem," Iara snapped producing the roll of letters. "The gauntlet will crash in two days time."

Maintaining the severity of her glare, Iara detailed every bit of what she had learned from the letters adding it a bit of flair here and there just to drive the point home. The flame of truth guided her, making the whole bit one of her better performances. At the very core of it all, Iara truly wanted to stop the fall of Tuldoroc. Her reasons might be self serving, but the ends were the same.

With proper severity set in them all, Iara set her sights on the city guard and stalked off in search of Sigurd Crassus. It must have been quite the sight, four eclectic citizens side by side stomping their way to the office of the captain of the guard. Iara kept silent as Crassus poked through the pile of bands and then counted out their reward.

"You have done us all a great service, thank you, and please go enjoy the festival with your earnings."

"There work here is far from done," Iara spoke with her dark eyes burning, "it is very far from over."

Producing the letters, the faerie lay the final note upon the desk. "We have a serious problem and little time to deal with it."

Exhaling softly in the quiet after the exchange with Crassus, she regarded the others. Had she found a new, rag tag tribe? Dare she enjoy companionship?

Smiling Iara nodded. "Yes, why not? And we have an urgent choice before us. Thwart an unknown war or go and get gone. Either way, we will need supplies and information."

((OOC: Depending on what is decided, Iara will try and find info in the underworld. Not sure how the rest of the conversation with Crassus went, so that will affect things. Also, Iara is looking for a Wand of Magic Missile and a Scroll of Entangle. I'd like her to replace the current spell in her ring of spell knowledge with Entangle.))

another update.

Savis looks enthusiastically at Zick.

"I'll go with you if you don't mind! I'm pretty helpful.. I mean. I can help you carry stuff at least..".

((OOC: in response to Iara))

Savis looked at her, her anger as she talked about this war and the lack of response by the guard. He didn't want to go to war.. not really. Well, he was only 16..

As Iara accepted joining the team, he spoke up.

"I'm not.. I never wanted to get involved with wars. I don't think I can make a difference. But. If you guys want to do that, I'll do my best to help. Cause we're friends. If you want to stop a war, count me in."

For what it was worth, this was his home

Get gone or stop a war? That was how Angel had described the situation and it did seem to pretty well sum things up. They could run for it. And in this case he would even have some friends to run for it with. He looked around at them. It was a good group in an odd sort of way.

But then he looked around him at the rest of the town. It was his home. Of sorts. He knew people here. Good people. Ok, bad people too, but also good people. And, well, people. Just people. Whoever had written those letters didn't seem like they meant well for any of these people. Not even the lion in the pink dress from the day before.

He looked at the others and then back at the Puppy. "Yeah, Savis, I don't know what any of us can do, but we seem to be in a better position than anyone else around us to do something about it. Lets at least see what the guard has to say and what other information we might be able to gather from our various sources and then make a decision. I don't know what I can do, but if there is something, I'd want to do it." He turned towards Lara. "Could you run that list of ingredients by me again? It sounds like some sort of magical or alchemical formula. I'll see if the master alchemist recognizes anything."

After getting the list of ingredients memorized, he ran off through town towards his guildhall. As he ran, he started to wonder about what sorts of things he should be preparing or buying for the next phase of life's little adventure. More bombs, that was for sure. He felt kinda naked without them. What did that say about him?

He grinned as he ran through the crowd. Life was getting interesting.

Pacific Parables

Cover photograph
See larger image
Price £6.50

Bert Turetzky writes: "Living in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean has changed my life. Fascinated by the different cultures, different folklore and especially the different cuisine of the Pacific Rim peoples. As a result, it is no surprise that this piece "just happened"."

Pacific Parables is rhythmic and energetic, employing a number of sounds and effects, to create mood and atmosphere, in a work of great character and imagination. Suitable for any audience or occasion, Pacific Parables is both player and audience friendly.

"Early in his career, while teaching at the Hartt School of Music in Connecticut, Turetzky's life took a change of direction. A friend, a composer, committed suicide at the age of 26. It was thought that the composer despaired because no one would perform his music. This dramatic episode illustrated to Turetzky that modern composers were desperate to have their works performed, and if he wanted to play music on his instrument, he needed to collaborate with them. Along with Henry Larsen, a clerinettist, Turetzky formed the Hartt Chamber Players and sought out the new music of living composers. 'Whatever was written for us, we would play it all. We didn't stick to what was "safe",' he says." [Paul Hormick/Double Bassist, Spring 2003]

This one event completely changed Bert Turetzky's life, but also changed one aspect of the repertoire and direction of the solo double bass for decades to come. Almost single-handedly he persuaded composers to explore every sound, noise and effect possible on the double bass, pushing the boundaries of music/noise to the limit and creating a repertoire which is possibly unique in the history of the instrument. His book 'The Contemporary Contrabass', written in 1974, was described as 'a milestone in the search for new timbres, at the same time futuristic and traditional' and described in great detail the many sounds that were possible on the double bass and was based on much research and exploration in the 1950s and 60s. More than 300 works have been written for him and still at the age of 82 Bert's passion for the double bass is as strong as ever.

Born on 14 February 1933 in Norwich, Connecticut Bertram Turetzky took up the tenor banjo at the age of 12 or 13, he switched to the guitar in high school, having fallen in love with jazz, and then changed to the double bass which he described as '...the core of everything, the glue between the harmony and the wind instruments.' Paul Hormick writes: "...he made a commitment to become a professional jazz bassist. If his playing was not top notch, he had, as he says, 'the energy, commitment, and drive' needed for success. A letter from a classmate, on the occasion of Turetzky's 50th high school reunion says that, of the class, Turetzky 'was the only one who knew what he wanted to do, and went out and did it'."

He subsequently studied at New York University and Hartt College of Music of the University of Hartford and slowly changed direction from jazz to everything else a bassist is asked to do - symphony, opera, contemporary, jazz, teaching and recitals, featuring many of the new works that were being written for him. For many years he combined his hectic performance schedule with teaching, first at the Hartt School of Music and from 1968 as Professor of Music at the University of California, San Diego, where he retired as 'Distinguished Professor Emeritus' only a few years ago.

Alongside his passion for contemporary music, Bert has also played a wealth of music from the 15th and 16th-centuries. He has transcribed works for every possible combination of instruments, but usually including the flute which was always played by his wife Nancy, and the husband and wife partnership have been fearless in their promotion of music for this rare instrumental duo. The vast majority of repertoire for flute and double bass today was either written for Bert and Nancy, or inspired by them. Bert has an interest in any repertoire which features the double bass and has championed many chamber works which are unknown or have been forgotten.

Bert has composed and transcribed many works for double bass. For some years his interest in the music of Domenico Dragonetti (1763-1846) was a passion and in the early 1960s he edited six waltzes for unaccompanied double bass by the great Venetian bassist. Published by McGinnis & Marx, the pieces had been completely unknown and unavailable at the time and still in manuscript and this one publication and his subsequent recording in 1975 'Dragonetti Lives!' which featured three of the waltzes, a solo for double bass and piano and a Duo for cello and double bass, probably kick-started the resurgence of interest in Dragonetti's music which is taking flight in the 21st-century. Although Bert Turetzky has spent most of his life playing modern music and creating every possible sound and noise that the double bass can produce, his own compositions, on the whole, are far more traditional and accessible. He has composed a whole range of music for double bass, probably for his own use or for his students, and into his 80s the desire to compose and perform are as strong as ever.

The In Flanders Fields series

In Flanders Fields is a series of poignant and evocative choral works with a theme of reconciliation and remembrance, set to iconic texts by John McCrae and Rupert Brooke.

David Heyes studied double bass with Laurence Gray and Bronwen Naish and later at the Royal College of Music in London. He completed his post-graduate studies in Prague with Frantisek Posta (Principal Double Bass, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra). He has given recitals and masterclasses in 13 countries over the past few years and has been a juror at a number of international competitions, twice as chairman.

David has been Specialist Double Bass Tutor at Wells Cathedral School for 19 years and received a prestigious award from the David Walter Charitable Trust of New York for his pioneering activities as a soloist, teacher, publisher and commissioner of new music for double bass. He works with composers throughout the world and is particularly interested to expand the double bass repertoire, by commissioning new works and by rediscovering forgotten ones. Over the past 30 years he has commissioned more than 500 works, from beginner to virtuoso, and from one to twenty basses.

David has transcribed more than 200 works for double bass, many published by Recital Music, and in recent year has also composed a number of original works for double bass which have been performed in Britain, America, Venezuela, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Germany and Czech Republic. David is self-taught as a composer and his music has been described as lyrical, evocative and accessible, but certainly of the 21st-century.

A Tiny Miracle.... McKinney Texas Newborn Photography

A new baby captures your heart the instant you find out he is coming and the moment he arrives is indescribable.  This little guy arrived with a lot of prayers lifting him up.  Miraculously, his heart was able to be fixed with one surgery instead of the anticipated three.  Now he is a happy healthy baby.  The power of prayer is undeniable.  Of course, we can't forget the amazing technology and skills of the doctors at Children's.  Although my memories of that hospital are sad and painful, I now have something to smile about when I see their logo.  There are things in this world that we will not understand until we are standing face to face with Jesus, but I am thankful that I can rest in the knowledge of His everlasting love and the comfort of a peace that only He can give.

Holly said...

Thank you for coming to take his pictures! You did a beautiful job :) Our God is Amazing!

Tori said...

You are so welcome, Holly. I was really pleased with how they turned out and am glad he was awake some so we could capture his stunning eyes. The entire afternoon was a pleasure. I'm glad that God moved you into my neighborhood!

After listening to the nominee for EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen this morning, our group has decided that we will not support her candidacy.

Acting GUE/NGL President Martin Schirdewan (DIE LINKE, Germany) comments:

“We have listened carefully to Ms von der Leyen and grilled her on our 10 key demands for the next Commission. Her responses were insufficient to satisfy the basic aspirations of EU citizens. They will help perpetuate the chronic problems the EU is facing.”

“We realise she does not have a vision that is based on social justice and on human rights. She will perpetuate the neoliberal policies that have led to the economic crisis and unprecedented poverty and inequality among Europeans. We saw little desire to tackle tax avoidance and fraud by big corporations.”

“We are also concerned about the militarisation of the EU that von der Leyen is proposing. Her legacy in Germany is of arms to Saudi Arabia and support for military intervention. Likewise, no credible proposals to reform the EU asylum system and end the shameful deaths in the Mediterranean.”

“On the environment, von der Leyen’s proposals are not sufficient to tackle the climate emergency that pose an existential threat to our planet.”

“For these and other reasons we will not support Ursula von der Leyen’s candidacy for Commission President. We demand a truly democratic process for EU top jobs and an end to backroom deals,” Schirdwan concluded.

Connection between solar panel production and silver prices

Silver plays major role in solar panel production. This is because silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals.

This means that increased solar panel production requires plenty of silver which in turn leads to spike in silver prices.

The researchers say that silver is used in solar panels at around 20g per one panel which equates to around 6.1% of the total cost of the price of building each unit.

The recent study by the scientists from Kent Business School at the University used data from quarterly silver prices measured from the London Bullion Market, installed solar energy capacity and solar gross electricity production between 1990 and 2016 to map correlations in demand and costs.

The analyzed data showed clear correlation between a rise in silver prices at the same time as increased demand for solar panels. Furthermore, the researchers believe that if prices continue to rise it could lead to much higher solar panel production costs thus making solar power less cost-competitive with other energy sources.

In order to prevent this, the governments would need to intervene with different measures such as tax credits. Some researchers also say that future solar panel production could be forced to use other materials that are cheaper than silver though this could require a major scientific breakthrough because currently available alternatives such as aluminium or copper are far below the quality of silver.

Women Play Increasingly Vital Role in Transportation

Women Play Increasingly Vital Role in Transportation

Published on March 8, 2019
Jim Tymon

As we celebrate International Women’s Day this year, 13 women are currently serving or have been nominated to serve as chief executives of the 52 transportation department agencies represented by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials: the largest number of female state DOT chief executives ever in the industry’s history.

This is a critical milestone in more ways than one, as women executives, engineers, and other professionals provide different points of view and approaches to help address the many challenges facing the transportation industry.

“Gender parity is not just the right thing to do; we know now that it helps to yield better decisions because we bring new ideas to the table and think about things differently,” Leslie Richards, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, recently explained. “Studies show that companies and organizations with female leadership and more diversity perform better. This makes sense because I’ve seen firsthand how diverse perspectives help us to identify innovative solutions to problems that affect everyone. Having diverse perspectives makes any team more effective, and the same goes for managing transportation assets.” FULL ARTICLE

Tonight Kris Kristofferson is receiving the  Life Time Achievement award at the 2014 Grammy Awards. This will be a special night as Kris will be performing with country legends Merle Haggard  Willie Nelson. Joining the trio will be hot new country star Blake Shelton.

Kris Kristofferson was a rock music fan and as such he was the guy who motivated his favorite musicians and friends to play in a rougher less formulaic way ...

He wrote some of the most classic country songs that crossed over to the rock scene such as "Sunday Morning Coming Down", "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Help Me Make it Through the Night".

Kristofferson is really thrilled to be honored/performing on the same night as Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are reuniting. See that story here....

Kris as a songwriter and one of the  country music "Outlaws" along with  Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson,  began resisting the unspoken rules of Nashville's music-making machine. Country radio basically shunned their music but...young rock fans embraced them totally.

My guys friends began playing their music at the parties we had. These guys were COOL. They smoked weed and drank. This wasn't our parents idea of Country Music...They were rebels and my generation was all about rebellion.

Like the rock stars of the time, Kris began writing and performing his own music which was more personal. His friends followed suit and The Highwaymen were born. These guys took highly produced country music back to a more basic level. More guitar and a lot less fiddle...Their rougher sound and original songs influenced popular music forever. Congratulation to Kris!

Give Computers —

By | 28/01/2019

used computersWe’ve all had the expertise of getting anything costly, getting it house, taking it out of the box, and discovering that anything just is not appropriate. Some promote used computers supplied by students prepared to sell them at a low price or give them away. Usually computers with this sort of cache are created to move regularly needed data into the cache automatically, usually without the need to have for any intervention on the programmer’s portion. Action Computers is the largest buyer, refurbisher, and retailer of used computers and electronic gear in Colorado. World Laptop Exchange is an additional organisation that provides free computers for low income households.

The recycled functioning computers come complete with a keyboard, monitor/screen and mouse and a coaching booklet, and are distributed to individuals who can’t otherwise afford the fees related with computing. Reflection: There are some teachers in my college that never have any computers in their class for their students to use. We at present have enough computers in my school to reallocate at least a few laptop computers to each and every classroom teacher.used computers

So in an try to answer the question of no matter whether computer systems are a curse or blessing, the only logical answer is they are both. Such as medicine’s temperature handle, medicine expire data detection, control of surgery equipments by computer systems. Any variety of item like wholesale used computers when bought in bulk quantities can have a defect in any one particular of them. At a recent legislative hearing Computers for Classrooms was described as a model program for the state of California. If you locate yourself in a college that is nowhere close to a 1:1 student to laptop ratio, I challenge you to request that your administration equally reallocate the computers that you do have to every teacher in the college.

There is active study to make computers out of numerous promising new kinds of technologies, such as optical computer systems , DNA computers , neural computers , and quantum computers Most computers are universal, and are able to calculate any computable function , and are limited only by their memory capacity and operating speed.

Whilst we have purchased thousands of computer systems from big multinationals, we also take care of tiny local companies and other organizations, public or private. Planned use of these web sites integrated with the curriculum and media such as books and hands-on activities seems, according to the investigation, to be an effective use of computers with main age young children. Schools are desperately needing Core 2 Duo, and i-core series computer systems or greater in order to run existing programs.

Is There Light at the End of the Snow Tunnel?

IMG 3357

Our front light post last night just after sunset.

Sigh. Yesterday during the day we got about a foot of snow. It stopped snowing just after 1:00 p.m., and Rick and I got out and cleared the driveway, front steps, back steps and part of the deck. Then it spit ice pellets at us for a while. We were supposed to get snow overnight but when I got up and looked out the window at 2:30 a.m. it had not done a thing. Good, I thought as I went back to bed, they were wrong.

I got up this morning and looked out the same window and much to my dismay I saw more snow! About six inches or so of heavy wet snow. Here are some photos for comparison.

Here is our deck table and chairs yesterday:

IMG 3333 2

Same view but this morning:

IMG 3402

Again, the other side of the deck yesterday:

IMG 3336

And this morning:

IMG 3408

And the poor poolside table and chairs with its “donut” topping. Here it is BEFORE the most recent snowfall:

IMG 3288

And yesterday:

IMG 3355

And today:

IMG 3400

Sorry for the white balance difference. It’s the best I could do with early morning light.

Bella helped me with the deck shoveling. I shoveled, she barked and wanted snow thrown on her, so I obliged.

IMG 3346

Here are some scenes from around my house this morning.

IMG 3388

IMG 3399

The snow is so high that the dogs can walk right over the fence, so I am hoping they don’t figure it out. (Taken in the back yard.)

IMG 3425

Bella coming down from the snowbank in front of our house on the street.

IMG 3428

Our ever-narrowing street.

IMG 3431

IMG 3438

IMG 3439

It looks like our front windows are wearing toothy white grins!

IMG 3446

eBay wanted to help with the front steps. It didn’t last too long but that cat loves the snow!

Have you had your snow fix yet? I know I have. Still, tomorrow we are supposed to get MORE snow — granted only 2-4 inches this time, but still …

We were afraid that they might cancel the RV show because of the storm, but the show is still on. They said that all the units arrived prior to the storm, which is good for them!

Rainy Days and Tuesdays

IMG 7744

Yesterday it rained. Unlike the song rainy days and Mondays always get me down, it was really quite welcome. Besides that, it was Tuesday. At least you don't have to shovel rain and it's a step in the right direction towards spring.

The dogs tried to persuade me to take them somewhere but for once I didn't give in to them. I just stayed dry inside and started my knitting project of Rick's felted slippers. His old ones have sprouted a hole in the toe.

At times the rain poured from the sky, drumming on the skylights above me in the sun room. It seemed to come in waves. Whenever it started raining hard all of a sudden, eBay would lift her head up from her spot by the fire and look up as if to say what is that noise??  Once they resigned themselves from not getting to "go for a ride"  the dogs just laid around and didn't even ask to be let outside in the yard.

IMG 7746

By late afternoon the rain had stopped and the sun came out for a short while. I loved how the raindrops reflected the sun's rays.

The rain washed most of the snow away except for a few small patches where it had been plowed or shoveled. Things are definitely looking brighter!

Powerless on Purpose

IMG 6945

Today our house will be without power for about five hours. On purpose! Today is the day we have a new electrical panel installed complete with a transfer switch for routing our generator into the household circuitry. It’s not the best planning since it’s still below freezing during the daytime, but today is the day the electrician had the time.

We’ve bumped the heat up about five degrees higher than we normally keep it to get the house really warm and the wood fire is burningly brightly.

We plan to hang out in the sun room around the wood stove for the duration of our power outage. We’ll put up the card table and start a puzzle. I’ve got plenty of books for reading (thanks to my library visit) and my iPad is fully charged. For lunch we’ll probably load the dogs in the truck and eat somewhere in town or maybe we’ll venture up to the winery café.

It’s an inconvenience, but one we hope we’ll be glad we did next time the power goes out for real. Until then we’ll just do all we can to stay warm!

Endings and Assorted Disconnected Things

IMG 2799

The biggest ending is of course the loss of our sweet cat Sam. I still have not done a tribute to him here on the blog. Soon.

The pool is closed for the season. Its winter cover keeping it tidy for the autumn and winter seasons to come. It’s sad, but it was time. Next year we are looking to install a heater to add several weeks on to the beginning and the end of pool season.

Yesterday also was the end of my photography classes. I wish they offered a more in-depth class to hone the skills I learned but they don’t. So for now I’ll just have to take what I did learn and practice on my own. I was amazed how so many people can talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. They can go on and on about this and that about their camera, throwing all kinds of terms around, but when it comes to actually taking photos they aren’t very good! Yesterday we had to go out into the parking lot and take photos of textures, reflections, patterns, lines and etc. and then come in and do a slideshow. It was enlightening for sure. One girl who claims to have a job in a photography studio didn’t even know what the hot shoe was! She also did not share her photos with the class. (It was optional to share.)

It’s also the end of summer. Even when the days get up in to the 70’s the air is different and you can tell the heat has lost its punch.

In other news, Sam’s death kind of took away the excitement and pleasure of seeing my photo/s in print in two local newspapers. They actually did use them!

IMG 4452

The Trends reaches has a large distribution and reaches our whole county. They used their staff photographer’s photo on the front page (boohoo, but hey they have to pay him!) but used my photo on the inside.

IMG 4453

I was also surprised and pleased to see that their affiliated paper, Aim West Milford, that is local just to our township used both photos I submitted. (Also on on inside page.)

IMG 4456

IMG 4457

I was very pleased. And proud. I am thinking they had a lot of photo submissions for the fire and yet they chose to use mine.

So, that’s it for today. Kind of a mish-mash, but there you have it.

In somewhat of a funk

IMG 4424

I do hope you’ll bear with me. I am in a funk. Yesterday was pretty good, but today not so much.

Maybe it’s because I spent a good part of the day yesterday going through old iPhoto libraries looking for photos of Sam. Not only did I find plenty of Sammy photos, but photos of deceased dogs, my mom, and happy times at the cabin with all of them. Downright depressing.

Maybe it’s because the day after Sam died I had the patio doors open sitting in the sun room reading and I kept hearing what sounded like a cat meowing outside. I stood outside several times but could never pinpoint the sound. I think it might have been Aileen’s chickens next door making funny noises. Maybe not.

Maybe it’s because I keep catching things out of the corner of my eye that look like Sam in various places in the house. Logically, of course, I know this is impossible but my brain has yet to catch up.

He was just always there.

Maybe it’s because I can’t get the images of the last few hours of his life out of my mind. It was not easy to watch and equally hard being replayed in my head.

It’s a process and I know blogging about him will help. I’m just not quite there yet.

Social media’s awakening to the Gaza crisis

Yara al-Wazir

By: Yara al-Wazir

The second that Israel waged its latest war on Gaza, my social media feeds waged war on the injustice happening there.

I have been unable to avoid gruesome photographs and videos for days. I don’t know if this is because I reside in a country (the UK) where media bias towards Israel is so prevalent that protests happen on a regular basis against the mainstream media, or if it is because of the type of friends that I have and the people that I follow on social media.

The images are painful, but the courage and resilience shown by both the people of Gaza, and the people sharing their stories is inspiring.

Distinguishing between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism

Social Media is an incredible, powerful tool to reach people across the world. Although those sharing posts in the Middle East to an Arab audience may be preaching to the choir, European and foreign-based individuals have a greater responsibility to gauge what they share. Communicating in a tasteful and sensitive manner is key to gaining the type of attention that the cause requires. The images and videos are powerful, and the intensity of them should not be overshadowed by a poorly written caption that can be translated to be anti-Semitic. Indeed, organisations such as ‘Jews Against Zionism’ do exist.

Sadly, the situation in Gaza has been normalized in the past, just as the Syrian war has been normalized over the past few months.

Yara al-Wazir

Zionism is one of the foundations on which Israel was built- lead by Theodor Herzl 51 years before the Nakba, it calls for the movement and establishment of a Jewish state

Anti-Semitism is a phrase often misconstrued – it is to be against those who speak the Semitic languages, Arabic included. In more recent years, it has been used to describe negativity towards the Jewish population.

It is as rare as it is barbaric to find someone in this day and age who agrees with uprooting a population from its land. That is the basis of Zionism; expressing an opinion against a political ideology is acceptable. However, blaming an entire Abrahamic religion for the policies of a government is unacceptable. It is the equivalent of claiming that all Muslims are terrorists.

Gaza versus Syria – two sides of the same coin

The sad reality of the situation is that at first glance of a photograph or video, I cannot tell if it was taken in Gaza or in Syria. Both wars are just as gruesome, but it appears that the general public has responded more strongly to the situation in Gaza. The reasons are many; for starters the operation in Gaza has barely been going on for a few days, compared to the three years in Syria. The Assad regime has its victims and supporters, leaving the country divided into countless side. In Palestine, however, all people suffer from Israeli occupation. Regardless of whether an individual supports Hamas or Fatah, all parties suffer from Israeli occupation on emotional, physical, and economical levels. The enemy appears to be unanimous, and thus, so does the reaction.

Perhaps the most dangerous whirlwind that the Gaza situation can fall into at this point is one it has fallen into in the past – normalization, getting used to the crisis as it stands. Gaza is ultimately an open-air prison, the borders are shut over 50% of the time, supplies are always limited, and jobs are scarce. If this was a city in the United States, it would be at the forefront of election agendas and monitored by the media on a daily basis. Sadly, the situation in Gaza has been normalized in the past, just as the Syrian war has been normalized over the past few months.

A voice for the voiceless

At the end of the day, there is very little that the public can do to fight this operation, even on social media. The easy way out is usually to donate to relief efforts, but sadly, relief efforts are barely existent when it comes to Gaza. The location is too controversial. One of the only things that can be done is to raise awareness about the situation, hoping that it strikes enough chords around the world for action to be taken. When journalistic negligence is at the core of Western media reports, with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer citing images from Gaza to be from Israel, raising awareness turns from an option to a necessity.

The most dangerous trap we can fall into at this point is to stop talking, to stop pointing out the atrocities and crimes committed on civilians, and to normalize a situation where rockets fall like raindrops. Keep talking, keep citing, but remain respectful. If images are gruesome, note it. If the comments are against a religion, refrain. The objective is to garner positive and sentimental attention, not anger.

RMS Republic - Press Clippings
>> home : press clippings : 1987
Copyright © 1987 The Journal of Commerce, Inc.

Journal of Commerce

June 12, 1987, Friday

LENGTH: 1182 words

BYLINE: TOM McNIFF, Jr.; Journal of Commerce Special

Lost treasures and shipwrecks have become staples of the news-short summer- silly season over the past few years, so here we go again.

In 1985 and 1986 it was the finding and videotaping of the Titanic. Earlier, the Lusitania, Duke of Edinburgh and Andrea Doria gave up their secrets to the technology of late '70s-'80s deep sea diving.

This year's space filler is likely to be the saga of Martin Bayerle's hunt for rumored gold in the bowels of the RMS Republic, a once-proud, 583-foot White Star liner that for 78 years has lain on the ocean's bottom in international waters 55 miles southeast of Nantucket Island.

The hype campaign is supposed to kick off Sunday with a press conference planned in New York. The actual 90-day treasure hunt is due to begin about June 17. By the time it's over there may not be much left of the old hulk, but there are hopes for huge profits.

The 15,000-ton liner sank Jan. 24, 1909, hours after a collision in dense predawn fog with a 6,000-ton Italian liner, Florida. The British vessel stayed afloat long enough for rescue ships - attracted by the world's first SOS radio signal - to save all but six of those on the Republic.

Mr. Bayerle, a 35-year-old master diving instructor, says 11 years of research in four nations' archives have convinced him that 1909 rumors about Republic's carrying $ 3 million in U.S. gold eagle coins are true. He calculates that, depending on mint marks, those coins may be worth $ 140 million to $ 1.6 billion on today's numismatic market.

Mr. Bayerle scanned old newspapers, dug through dusty Treasury and shipping records and put together what he calls a convincing case for the gold. The coins were being shipped from New York to France, he says, to replace gold the French government had loaned to czarist Russia to finance military needs.

He told one writer the U.S. government had rented the Republic's entire second-class baggage hold. But details of this summer's treasure hunt are so secret "they haven't even told me where it (the gold) is," said Michael Gerber, managing director of Subocean Salvors Ltd. of Tampa, Florida and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

There are no original plans of the White Star Line's premier pre-Titanic vessel, built by Harland & Wolf in Belfast. But Robert Stevens, Subocean Salvors president and a naval architect, managed to "reconstruct" the vessel's schematic from bits and pieces of data.

As Mr. Bayerle's group is secretive about the gold's alleged location, so too Mr. Bayerle believes the British, French and U.S. governments covered up the tale of the lost gold. He says the U.S. Navy didn't mark the Republic wreck on World War II submarine warfare charts, and that it escaped being exploded to protect submarines in the heavily-used shipping lanes outside New York.

The French government hasn't acknowledged the gold, and Soviet authorities said records of any czarist loan were probably lost during the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

Using side-scan sonar, Mr. Bayerle found the Republic's wreck in 240 feet of water in 1981. He joined other divers on the wreck in 1983 and recovered enough artifacts to convince a federal court in Boston of the ship's identity and gain title.

The next three years might have discouraged another man, but Mr. Bayerle pressed on. In 1985 he found a partner in Wolf Sub-Ocean, Ltd. of Halifax, whose divers planned survey work that summer. Last-minute insurance problems with a support ship forced the 1985 expedition to be cancelled, even as the press was putting out stories on the venture's start-up.

Mr. Bayerle's Maritime Analysts Group Inc. encountered rivals for the Republic's supposed treasure. A bitter legal dispute with one of those groups, Marshalltown, Inc., continues before a federal judge in Boston.

Part of that dispute involves Maritime Analysts' contention that Marshalltown's Panamanian ship, Twin Drill, worked the Republic site in violation of internationally agreed navigation rules. A U.S. Coast Guard protest elicited no reply from Panama.

Marshalltown says it had to abort its Spring 1986 expedition early, because Mr. Bayerle's group promised the court it would be at the site after July 1 and failed to do so, said Leo Kailas, the New York attorney for the Liberia-based Marshalltown.

Marshalltown may try again next fall, Mr. Kailas said, if satellite navigation gear he could not describe works out.

Marshalltown recovered Republic artifacts that may be worth as much as $ 1 million, but those bottles of wine, silverware and dishes are now stored under court order, pending a Maritime Analysts' appeal of a court award to Marshalltown, Mr. Kailas said.

Mr. Bayerle's plans for a 1986 survey of the wreck were aborted after Wolf Sub-Ocean went bankrupt as Canada's offshore oil industry declined. But he found a second group of backers in some Tampa, Fla. millionaires, who may spend part of this summer shuttling to the 279-foot support ship, Inspector, moored on a four-point rig above the Republic.

"What excited them was the fact that they could become an integral part of this thing," said Mr. Gerber. He is managing director of Subocean Salvors, an ocean engineering firm set up by the limited partnership, that is financing the Republic expedition at $ 25,000 a share and plans future shipwreck hunts.

The tug, Georgina A, has been over the Republic in the outbound New York vessel traffic lane for a month, doing preliminary survey work and preserving Subocean's claim until the Inspector's arrival with 20 divers. The Inspector has lots of empty cabins for visitors and reporters expected to watch live video of the working divers over the summer.

Subocean divers will face danger and difficulties as they try to mine" into the Republic's innards (she lies on her side, her bridge broken off the mostly intact hull). The sea's done its bit on it; rivets are loose and plates are buckling," said William Flowers, Subocean's operations manager. "We work around the risk, maintaining the safest operating conditions we can."

The divers - some veterans of the 1983-84 Ocean Ranger salvage off Nova Scotia - have quite an incentive to spend days on end in the expedition's saturation diving system. While they sleep, eat and kill time in the tiny chamber that preserves their deep sea pressurization, they'll likely dream of spending the fruits of their labors, since each is forgoing full salary for a part share of the expedition's proceeds, Mr. Gerber said.

Mr. Bayerle admitted there may ultimately be no gold despite his belief. But bottles of vintage wine sought by Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses for sale perhaps at $ 10,000 per magnum, expected first edition books owned by J.P. Morgan, and ship artifacts may allow the venture's profit, he said.

"Divers won't leave much (of the hulk) behind" when they finish cutting through the net-strewn wreckage, Mr. Flowers said.

Mr. Gerber joked that the expedition would make "medallions" from pieces of the hull, while an expedition official said, "they'll do what they have to do to find the gold."
