Christie Pits
Big snowstorm -- all the rinks are closed.
Recreation manager Lucky Boothe said that there is no citywide "gag order" to remove cityrinks.ca posters, and that he will talk to recreation supervisor Kim Brown on Monday to find out why she gave that order at Christie and Trinity rinks.
Monica Gupta (chair) sent out a news update to the Friends of Christie Pits
Family Skate Days
Every Sunday is Family Skate Day from 1-3pm. This Sunday there may be a surprise Skate with Santa...we just need to find a santa suit. If you have one please let me know a.s.a.p. As always there will be hot chocolate, donuts, cookies and hot dogs. Come in and keep warm by the wood stove and make snowflakes for the windows. We should have a fire pit going on outside the rink too!
With this great winter storm come out with your toboggans, skis and skates. The park is a Winter Wonderland and looks magical.
There is a snack bar inside Alex Duff which was leased privately for the past five years. This year the Recreation Staff would like to take over the use of the space and offer a full time snack bar full of healthy snacks including fruit, sandwiches and juices during the skating season. However, the city is planning on inviting non-profits and community agencies to apply to use the space for programming and will have a Request For Proposal (RFP) in the spring of 2009.
This means no one will have access to the Snack Bar over this winter. Friends of Christie Pits Park supports the idea of having the space available to Recreation Staff over the 2008-2009 winter season and have made our position known to the Recreation Supervisor and to Councillor Joe Pantalone.
rink full of snow left over from Friday
Please email [email protected] and [email protected] and let them know "You want a full time snack bar over the winter season at Alex Duff run by Recreation Staff. Friends of Christie Pits Park (FCPP) represents 195 members who use the rink and park all year round and would benefit from having a healthy snack bar during the winter season." (feel free to cut and paste)
Weather: High -12 celsius and low -18, about 20 cm of snow, lots of wind blowing the snow around too.
Snow storm all day -- no skating. The ice maintenance crew went away mid-morning but the rec staff shovelled out all the paths, to be ready for tomorrow. The snow stopped during the evening.

All rinks are closed due to a big snowstorm. Recreation rink program staff got a head start by shoveling out the access paths for tomorrow, in two shifts, day and evening. Ice maintenance staff seem to have discontinued work in the morning (on full pay for the day).
Big storm, rink closed.
Thursday December 18 2008
Cityrinks.ca posters were ordered removed from the rink house.
Ice maintenance: 11 a.m and 5 p.m.
4.25 pm: 12 shinny players, none with helmets at this moment.
e-mail sent to Recreation Director Malcolm Bromley, cc to Recreation manager Lucky Boothe
I have heard a rumour that the cityrinks.ca website posters are to be pulled from rinks -- can't get hold of Lucky to confirm -- please note that if there is any wrong information on any rink page, I will correct it as soon as I am told ([email protected]) -- but if it's a gag order not to talk about what's wrong, that seems unworthy of the City.
Would it make more sense to let your supervisors know how they can contact cityrinks.ca, to correct wrong information?
CityHall
There's no bulletin board anywhere near the rink. There's an information counter, but it's a private venture and won't take a cityrinks.ca poster. Nor do they give out the city's own rink schedules for other rinks in the city. Inside city hall there's no bulletin board either.
The city hall staff don't answer the phone to let people know how the ice is. However, the rink rental place (new owner, nice guy) answers their phone and they say if the rink is open or not.
Weather: high -3 celsius, low -8. Market day, and crowded. A few of last year's troublemakers have been cruising the market at the end, still wearing their skates, maybe looking for unattended cash boxes. The rink staff are keeping a close eye on them, and soon they'll get caught at something and be out for the season. A few of them will maybe get in deeper trouble -- not much sense there, and maybe no anchor at home either. It's hard to watch the descent, maybe harder to live it. Or
All this happens in a setting of so much friendly sociability, little kids practising their skating, jokes told at the market tables. Layers of reality.
The permit group -- the local old-timers -- said the ice was really fine again, and the forecasted storm didn't start until after the rink closed.
At 9 pm a permit was just finishing and the zamboni was preparing to do ice resurfacing. The ice looked good. The rec program staff person said the rink had been back in operation around 3.30 that day (there had been 2-3 inches of snow overnight from Wednesday).
This rink has its own afternoon/evening zamboni driver, who apparently cleans the ice "whenever it needs it," sometimes four times a shift. The rest of the time he sits in a back office away from the rink, and the two program staff sit in the changeroom by a desk in the corner or, in the case of the rink guard, go out and skate around a bit and then come back in.
The staff said they require all permit shinny players to wear helmets because the permit office said it was mandatory. However, for drop-in shinny hockey the staff don't insist, because most of the players wouldn't wear a helmet. The staff also say that other than three permits and weekend lessons at the rink, they don't really bother trying to enforce age levels for shinny -- they try to just let everyone play.
Cityrinks.ca posters announcing the website (put up mid-week) were gone off the two bulletin boards. The Rink program staff person said that so far Trinity has been getting only once a day maintenance.
From General Manager Brenda Patterson (responding to cityrinks.ca questions about ice maintenance)
We are constantly reviewing and revising our protocols and procedures to ensure the continuous improvement of operations and service to all residents. The start-up this season has gone very well, with only a few minor disruptions.....Staff is pleased with the availability and assignment of equipment and believes it is more than sufficient to support the needs program across the city.
E-mail from cityrinks.ca to general manager Brenda Patterson: Apparently Wallace Rink is considered a "minor" rink and it was not cleared for skating until 7.30 pm. last night.
Wallace Rink is a double pad rink that was rebuilt two years ago at a cost of $1.1 million. It has a skate-lending service, extensive daytime school visits, and weekly family programs, as well as being a very intensively-used youth shimmy hockey destination. It is not "minor." 48 schoolchildren tried to push the snow off the rinks at 1 pm, but this didn't fix the lack of maintenance.
Etobicoke-district rinks only a short distance away opened between 10.30a.m. and 1 pm. after the snow.
Remarkable excerpt from General Manager Brenda Patterson's response (same day):
Ice maintenance: 2 pm and 6 pm.
E-mail from cityrinks.ca to Mike Hindle, rink supervisor: (:letter:) I was at JJP (Giovanni Caboto, Earlscourt) Rink last night and now I have two questions:
1. I asked the zamboni operator whether there's a public bulletin board at the rink and he said no, so I asked him if I could put my cityrinks.ca poster on the bulletin board that's there (which I guess is not counted as public, but it's mostly empty). The zamboni operator said that you are the rinks supervisor and I have to ask you for permission. Here is the poster: cityrinks poster
May I put it up at JJP?
2. The street doors to the rink are kept locked. The zamboni operator says that's because it's not part of his job to clear snow off the stairs nor the ramp leading down to the rink. He says it's Parks' responsibility. For now, I had to squeeze in between two roadwork trailers parked on the park property since two years ago, and then walk along a "cowpath" to the side gate of the rink. Or I could take a long detour west along the sidewalk, then up an icy roadway, through the parking lot, to come in the back door of the rink building.
I've noticed that the front entry to West Mall Rink, leading from the bus stop, is also kept locked. Is this an Etobicoke policy? Can you explain?
Irving Chapley
E-mail from City outdoor rinks manager Kevin Bowser, to cityrinks.ca I spoke to the Supervisor regarding this email. The staff you spoke to was filling in for one shift. Staff have be trained on the protocol that are at the facility on a regular basis.
Glen Long
Reply from Wendy Jang, North York recreation supervisor, to cityrinks.ca
I am one of the supervisors in North York District working with the outdoor ice rink leisure skate staff. I am responding to your note to Kim Hussey regarding the lack of signage at Glen Long AIR (and at all the rest of our outdoor rinks as well)
We are in the process of having some permanent signs made that will be installed on the fencing at each of the rinks (except for Mel Lastman square, which doesn't have fencing). The signs will feature a) a program schedule for both supervised and unsupervised activities b) a note about the priority use of the rink c) contact numbers for program information or for emergency repairs, etc.
If the sign shop is able to make these signs a priority, they will be created and installed before the end of this year.
These signs will not "advertise" the existence of the open access to the rink however, which is what your note also suggests. I would agree that this is a critical missing piece to our service, as North York residents are not accustomed to unsupervised skating opportunities, and would not be expecting to have this service. I will check into the cost to have some all-weather banners made. Due to the year end closures of our 2008 cost centres, I may not be able to have them made until 2009, but the initiatives can been started now. Thank you for noting the lack of signage and for suggesting the promotional signage as well.
If you have any other questions or suggestions about outdoor rinks, please feel free to contact me by telephone as I recognize the wealth of experience you bring as both a community animator and user of our services. I welcome any ideas that will make our services more relevant to the residents.
December 18 2008, e-mail response from cityrinks.ca to North York Recreation supervisor Wendy Jang
Thanks for writing back. That's great that you're having signs made. The immediate concern is letting people know the skating possibilities during the holidays. Did you see the e-mail reply I sent Kim Hussey re holiday posters? I noted yesterday that you already have paper posters up in the window of the Glen Long Rink office, so maybe your staff could put up a few friendly posters about free unsupervised skating, that can bring a nice holiday surprise to people in the neighbourhood of Glen Long.
If your cost centres are so full up that they can't cover paper posters in time for the holidays, we'd be glad to print any colour pdf you e-mailed us, free. Or if you sent the text, we could get a nice photo of the rink and get our design person to put it together as you want. You could even have "did you know" as the start, like in the cityrinks.ca poster.
And thanks for your friendly invitation to have a chat -- that would be a very good thing, since outdoor rinks are one of the few outdoor social gathering places during the dark, cold winter. Toronto has an incredible treasure with all these rinks -- it's too sad if they're not well used.
Let me know about the poster. It's good to remember what long-time Parks and Rec Director Mario Zanetti used to say all the time: "let's make it work!"
At 1 pm there were five hockey players and five pleasure skaters sharing the pleasure-skating ice. It soon became apparent why -- the hockey rink had a sign and a strong smell of fresh paint. Inside the rink change house, about a dozen young men and women in Toronto Maple Leafs t-shirts (and paint spatters) were having lunch, in the company of a City staff person from the Parks and Recreation Partnership office. They said they were giving back to the community by painting the hockey boards. Since the City carpenters hadn't done it as they did in other rinks, corporate volunteers took on the job. The boards certainly looked better than on the rink's opening day.
However the fence rolls and old kickboard lumber were still by the rink change room entrance.
Ice was good, though.

Workhorse Releases PHEV Pickup Specs
April 12, 2017 • by Staff
Photo of W-15 courtesy of Workhorse.
The Workhorse Group's W-15 plug-in hybrid pickup should provide 80 miles of all-electric range and an equivalent of 75 miles per gallon when operating on electric power, the company has announced.
The company plans to unveil the vehicle at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Long Beach, Calif., on May 2.
The W-15 will include a gasoline-powered range extender and be available in all-wheel drive. The powertrain should produce about 460 horsepower and reach 0-60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds.
Other features include collision-avoidance technologies such as automatic braking and a lane-departure warning, a composite body with carbon fiber, double cab configuration, standard bed length.
The W-15 is based on technology used to power Workhorse's E-Gen electric range-extended medium-duty delivery trucks. It will use a 7.2-kilowatt power export that allows tools to be plugged into the battery source while the truck is off.
The W-15 should retail for $52,500 when it goes in sale in 2018. Workhorse will build the vehicle at its Union City, Ind. plant, which can produce 60,000 chassis a year.
Workhorse still needs to gain regulatory approval and financing for production.

Protesters oppose U.S. sanctions on Iran
By Tahleel Mohieldin
Tahleel Mohieldin
Protesters gathered outside the State Capitol Building Saturday afternoon to oppose the nation's current relationship with Iran.
MADISON, Wis. — Protesters gathered outside the State Capitol Building Saturday afternoon to oppose the nation's current relationship with Iran.
The rally was hosted by several activist organizations in the Madison area, led by the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Speakers at the event said, while relations between Iran and the U.S. have seemed to settle, the U.S. is still engaging in economic warfare with Iran.
"It's easy to see violence as being bombs and bullets but its harder to see it as people being unable to get certain kinds of food or medicine they need and that's what the U.S. sanctions do," said PSL representative Sawyer Johnson.
Protester and member of the activist street band Forward Marching Band said these types of actions make the Iranian people collateral damage.
"It's always the poor in our country and in any country that suffer and have no justice," she added. "War doesn't produce justice it produces sorrow, and so that's why we are here for this."
About 50 people attended the rally, including Thomas Scheevel who said,"It just important to show that there's not passive acceptance of war."
Organizers at this event also expressed their opposition to the F-35 jets expected to make their way into Madison this spring.
This is the second "No War on Iran" protest held in Madison this month.
Earlier this month, a U.S. drone strike killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani which led to an Iranian attack on U.S. Troops at an Iraqi air base.
Current U.S. sanctions on Iran are the latest development in the ongoing tension between the two nations.

Abstract The complex permittivity of water was measured, .
in terms of the dielectric constant (') and dielectric loss factor ('') over the frequency range from 1 GHz to 50 GHz and
MATERIAL AND METHOD
temperatures ranging from 300C to 600C. The PNA network analyzer model E8364C and open ended coaxial probe 85070E
were used for the analysis. '-f and ''-f curves plotted at different temperatures. ' decreases with increasing frequency at all temperatures. In frequency range 9-10 GHz, dispersion region is found. '' increase with increasing frequency, a peak value is obtained at frequency about 19.5 GHz (relaxation frequency) and then show decreasing trend with increasing frequency at lower temperature (300C). As the temperature
increases, reduces the drag to the rotation of the water molecules, so reducing the friction and hence the dielectric loss. As the temperature increases, the relaxation time decreases, and the loss factor peak shift to higher frequencies. In this frequency range re-orientation process of water molecules is observed.
Keywords dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, relaxation frequency, temperature, water.
The dielectric behaviour of pure water has been the subject of study in numerous laboratories over the past fifty years. As a result there is a good understanding of how the complex permittivity * = – j " varies with frequency from DC up to a few tens of GHz and it is generally agreed that the dielectric dispersion in this range can be represented either by the Debye equation or by some function involving a small distribution, of relaxation times [1]. The interactions of electromagnetic fields with materials are described through the fundamental electrical property i.e., relative permittivity of the material.
Distilled water as needed for the present research was obtained from the Chemistry lab CEERI, Pilani. The dielectric constant (') and loss factor ('') of the water were measured in the frequency range 1 GHz to 50 GHz by using a PNA network analyzer, model Agilent E8364C. The test probe consists of an open ended coaxial probe system (Agilent, 85070E). The system software calculates the dielectric properties of the sample from the changes in the phase and amplitude of the microwave signal delivered by the probe of open-ended coaxial line due to reflection at the interface with the sample to be analyzed. The calibration of the Network analyzer was done by using three different loads, viz., (i) air,
(ii) a short circuit with the metal contacts, and (iii) distilled water at room temperature. After calibration, the analyzer and the probe system were tested by taking measurements on a standard liquid (methanol, in the present case) of known dielectric properties. The measured values of dielectric constant (') and loss factor ('') for methanol at frequencies 1 to 50 GHz at room temperature (250C) are displayed in Fig. 1, along with standard dielectric data (up to 5 GHz) reported by Gregory and Clarke [5] and the values reported by Mishra et al. [6] up to 20 GHz. The values of dielectric parameters for methanol above 20 GHz are not available in literature for a meaningful comparison.
The relative permittivity (*) is also a complex quantity with real and imaginary components given by Risman [2].
* = – j " [1]
where, is the real component of * (called as dielectric constant) and = imaginary component of * (called as dielectric loss factor), and j appearing in equation 1.2 is a imaginary unit (= -1). The real component of the permittivity (i.e., dielectric constant – ) represents the effective capacitance of a substance and serves as a measure of the ability of the substance to store electrical energy. The
20 ''
imaginary component, (i.e., the dielectric loss factor – ) is related to various mechanisms of energy absorption, responsible for energy dissipation in the material and is always positive and usually much smaller in magnitude than dielectric constant. The substance is lossless if dielectric loss factor = 0 [3-4].

oscillations of dipoles are faster and since at high temperatures molecular agitations also increase. At high temperatures, increased molecular agitations and rapid oscillations under the influence of high frequency EM radiation result in fluctuations in ' values, giving rise to zig- zag behavior, i.e., ups and downs in '-f curves at high temperatures in the high frequency region (35 50 GHz).
Dielectric Constant (')
Fig. 2. Variation of dielectric constant (') and loss factor ('') of methanol with frequency at room temperature (250C)
Dielectric polarization under the influence of external electric field and lagging of the polarization vector behind the high frequency electric field by virtue of the inertia of the molecules, are the phenomenon responsible for the frequency dependence of dielectric properties [7]. The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of materials is a complex phenomenon. It may increase or decrease with the temperature depending on the nature of material.
RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS
In its pure form, water is a classic example of a polar dielectric. The water molecules behave as dipoles with dipole moment 6.2 x 10-30 Coulomb-meter. In Figs. 3 and 4, variation of dielectric constant (') and loss factor ('') respectively of water with frequency is shown for temperatures (30°C to 60°C) over the frequency range 1 GHz to 50 GHz. From Fig. 3, it is observed that as the frequency is increased from 1 GHz to 50 GHz, ' decreases with frequency at all temperatures, the rate of decrease with frequency being faster at low temperatures and slow at higher temperatures. It is also observed that the '-f curves for at 300 and 400C, intersect each other at frequency 8.5 GHz, while
Fig. 3. Frequency dependence of the dielectric constant (') of water at indicated temperatures
This is because in liquid water the molecular stretching and molecular librations shif the frequency of molecular vibrations to higher side, on raising the temperature (as hydrogen bonding weakens at higher temperatures, the covalent O-H bonds strengthen causing them to vibrate at higher frequencies) [8].
Dielectric loss factor ('')
the curves at 500 and 600C, intersect each other at frequency 25
14.5 GHz. Thus, the '-f curves for different temperatures intersect each other somewhere in the frequency region (8.5 GHz f 14.5 GHz). These curves show dielectric dispersion to this intersection frequency region. Below this frequency region (f < 8.5 GHz) ' decreases with increasing temperature whereas above this frequency region (f > 14.5 GHz) ' increases with increasing temperature. This behavior of variation of ' with frequency at different temperatures may be attributed to the effect of temperature on the
dispersion of EM waves in water. Further, it can be noticed from Fig. 4.3 that at low temperature (300C), a smooth curve of '- f is obtained, but at higher temperatures (40- 600C) and at higher frequencies (35- 50 GHz) overlapping of many absorption peaks are observed. When temperature is increased, both the strength and extent of the hydrogen bonding decrease. These results in lowering of dielectric constant at low frequencies but at high frequencies
15 40 C
Fig. 4. Frequency dependence of the dielectric loss factor ('') of water at indicated temperatures
From Fig. 4, it is observed that at low temperature (300C)
dielectric loss factor ('') of water increases with increasing frequency, acquires a maximum value at a frequency of about
19.5 GHz (relaxation frequency) and then slowly decreases with increasing frequency. A smooth ''-f curve is obtained at this temperature (300C). An increase in temperature, reduces
the drag associated with the rotation of the water molecules, so reducing the friction and hence the dielectric loss. As such, in the low frequency region the value of '' at a particular frequency decreases as the temperature is increased as observed from Fig. 4. As the temperature increases, the relaxation time decreases (i.e., relaxation frequency increases) and hence the loss factor maxima shifts to higher frequencies, as evidenced by Fig. 4, from which it is apparent that the maxima in ''-f curves shifts from 19.5 GHz to about
38.0 GHz as the temperature is increased from 300C to 600C. In the higher frequency range (30 50 GHz) where the operating frequency is greater than the relaxation frequency, re-orientation process of water molecules is becomes active. The re-orientation process may be modeled by using a wait-
and-switch process where the water molecules have to wait for a period of time until favorable orientation of neighboring molecules occurs and then the hydrogen bonds switch to the new molecule [9]. At these frequencies (30 to 50 GHz) and at higher temperatures (40 to 600C), multiple relaxation losses are observed.
The dielectric properties of fresh juice of water can be efficiently and accurately measured by E8364C PNA network analyzer and 85070E coaxial probe in the frequency range 1 GHz to 50 GHz. The present values of ' and '' are found to be in good agreement with the values reported by other researcher. These measurements may be useful in dielectric heating applications and for quality sensing application as well for developing new techniques.

The fall of 1998 was a real turning point when I reached a cross roads and took my last drink of alcohol.
I wanted the thrill of victory instead of the agony of defeat and I wanted comeback power!
I stopped blaming other people, my childhood and outside circumstances, then took massive action. I started reading and studying everything I could get my hands on about self-improvement, motivation and success. At first it was a daily struggle and my life didn't change overnight. Bit by bit, my life turned from despair to real hope. My transformation began with a change in my thinking and I became laser-focused, with different, consistent action on a daily basis. Were there days I wanted to just give up? Of course. Was it easy? No! Was it worth it? Absolutely yes! And I was willing to do whatever it took.
One thing I found out was, when your life is a mess, you can't wrap your mind around anything very complicated. You need a solution that is simple and gets real results that last. I developed my own easy, practical techniques and simple systems that really worked when nothing else had before. I used them to get myself out of the mess with my taxes, get my finances straightened out, pay off my debt and turn my life around. In 2008 I received a certification in conflict resolution which helped me to start resolving the conflicts I had in my own life. Because of how my life had turned around, I saw the value this could bring to others so I started my speaking and life coaching business. It felt so good to help my clients change their bad habits and self-defeating behavior - I had finally found my passion again.
Once again life was good until I crashed and burned, hitting rock bottom. I had gone for my dream at any cost including my health so I had to put my dream on hold and learn to take care of me. I was also able to overcome severe Adrenal fatigue, sugar addiction and stop allowing toxic people in my life. I stopped repeating the same patterns over and over and was able to turn my health around.
I learned through all of this that no matter how many times I was knocked down, a little part of me was still standing up on the inside. I knew deep down inside that I didn't want to go through all my pain and struggle for nothing. I wanted to use my experiences to help other people who were going through the same kind of challenges.
My purpose is to inspire, help you become self-empowered and help you get back on track!
My passion is helping people just like you transform their lives to breakthrough and take their lives to a new level of success. My core strengths come from my own personal real-life experiences, because at one time, I was just like so many of my clients. Believe me, I'm no stranger to tragedy, adversity and obstacles!
I grew up a poor little country girl from Ft. Worth, Texas. In 1977 I met and married the man of my dreams, a former U.S. World and Olympic figure skater. Shortly afterwards, we became international figure skating coaches and I had finally found my passion in life!
Life was great until May 5, 1986, when I came home and found my husband dead from a heart attack. I was devastated and it turned my world upside down. I spent the next several years on an emotional roller coaster, pulling myself up by my boot straps and eating my way into an extra 40 lbs. of oblivion. I spiraled downward into a complete mental breakdown - I was broken and a complete mess. Shortly afterwards I made the painful decision to give up coaching, the second love of my life.
At first I thought I could handle everything without any help, which turned out to be a disaster. So I decided, reluctantly, that I needed to get professional counseling, that saved me. I was finally able to crawl out of the dark, depths of despair and start putting my life back together. Then I had to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I knew deep down that I wanted to help people, so I became a massage therapist. Two years later, with only a few dollars to my name, my clothes and a car, I moved back to Texas where I started a private practice in massage therapy.

Kevin Painter (* 12. Juli 1967 in Billericay, Essex) ist ein englischer Dartspieler.

Heute lebt Painter in Rugby, Warwickshire.

Karriere

1992–2001: BDO-Karriere
Kevin Painters Profikarriere bei der British Darts Organisation begann im Jahr 1992, als er bei den Antwerp Open ins Halbfinale kam. Vier Monate später spielte er sein erstes Finale bei den Denmark Open, dass er gegen Rod Harrington verlor.

Im Januar 1994 nahm Painter erstmals an einer Weltmeisterschaft teil. Bei der BDO World Darts Championship schied er jedoch in der ersten Runde gegen Kevin Kenny aus. Bei seiner erstmaligen Teilnahme am World Masters 1994 kam Painter ins Achtelfinale.

Bei der BDO World Darts Championship 1995 gelang ihm dann allerdings sein erster Sieg in einem WM-Spiel. In der ersten Runde schlug er Magnus Caris mit 3:2 in Sätzen. In der zweiten Runde verlor er allerdings gegen Martin Adams mit 0:3.

Sein erster großer Turniersieg gelang Painter im Juni 1995. Im Finale der England Open schlug er Ronnie Baxter. Bei der BDO World Darts Championship 1996 musste er sich dann aber in der ersten Runde eben Jenem geschlagen geben.

Ein Jahr später gewann Painter mit den British Open und dem British Matchplay erstmals zwei Titel in einem Jahr und erreichte sowohl beim World Masters 1997 als auch bei der BDO World Darts Championship 1998 das Achtelfinale. Auch bei der BDO World Darts Championship 1999 konnte Painter sein erstes Spiel gewinnen, bevor er wieder im Achtelfinale gegen Ronnie Baxter ausschied.

Painters erstes PDC-Turnier waren die England Open 1999, wo er ins Viertelfinale kam. Auch bei der BDO World Darts Championship 2000 kam Painter ins Viertelfinale, seine bis dahin beste Leistung bei einer WM, in dem er gegen den späteren Weltmeister Ted Hankey ausschied.

Sein nächster Titel gelang Painter zusammen mit dem Englischen Team beim WDF Europe Cup 2000 als man sich im Finale mit 9:3 gegen die Niederländer durchsetzen konnte. Im Oktober desselben Jahres nahm er erstmals an einem PDC-Major, dem World Grand Prix teil, wo er in die zweite Runde einziehen konnte, in der er mit 2:3 gegen Turniersieger Phil Taylor verlor.

Die Swedish Open 2000 waren sein bisher letzter Turniersieg bei der BDO und der WDF. Bei der BDO World Darts Championship 2001 erreichte Painter noch einmal das Viertelfinale, dann wechselte er zur Professional Darts Corporation.

2001–2004: Bis zum WM-Finale
Nach ersten Viertelfinalteilnahmen bei der PDC durfte Painter direkt beim World Matchplay 2001 antreten. Er schied jedoch bereits in der ersten Runde gegen Dennis Priestley aus. Dafür kam er beim World Grand Prix bis ins Viertelfinale und schlug dafür Phil Taylor in Runde eins und Richie Burnett im Achtelfinale. Das Viertelfinale verlor er dann allerdings mit 1:6 recht deutlich gegen Dennis Smith. Seine letzten Teilnahmen bei BDO-Majors endeten beide im Viertelfinale. Sowohl beim World Masters als auch beim Doeland Grand Masters verlor er gegen Andy Fordham.

Im Dezember 2001 nahm Painter erstmals an der PDC World Darts Championship teil. In der ersten Runde verlor Painter mit 2:4 gegen Ronnie Baxter.

Bei den Antwerp Open 2002 spielte Painter sein erstes PDC-Finale, das er mit 1:3 gegen Colin Lloyd verlor. Sechs Monate später im Oktober 2002 gelang ihm allerdings auch sein erster PDC-Titel. Im Finale des Bob Anderson Classic konnte sich Painter gegen Darryl Fitton durchsetzen.

Sowohl beim World Matchplay als auch beim World Grand Prix schied Painter im Achtelfinale aus.

Für Aufsehen sorgte Painter bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2003. Als Nummer 14 der Rangliste gesetzt gewann er in der ersten Runde mit 4:1 in Sätzen gegen Reg Harding bevor er in der zweiten Runde auch seinen Rivalen Ronnie Baxter mit 5:3 schlagen konnte. Auch im Viertelfinale gewann Painter. Mit 5:2 eliminierte er Richie Burnett aus dem Turnier. Erst im Halbfinale konnte er vom späteren Weltmeister John Part gestoppt werden, gegen den er mit 4:6 verlor.

Unter anderem eine Halbfinalteilnahme bei den UK Open Qualifiers 2002/03 brachte Painter die Qualifikation für die UK Open 2003. Dort traf er allerdings in seinem ersten Spiel auf Phil Taylor und unterlag ihm mit 3:5. Auch beim World Matchplay schied Painter in der ersten Runde aus. Beim World Grand Prix kam er aber erneut ins Viertelfinale, in dem es zur Neuauflage des WM-Halbfinals kam. Er verlor erneut gegen John Part mit 1:4.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2004 konnte Painter seine Leistungen aus dem Vorjahr noch einmal steigern. Diesmal als Nummer 10 gesetzt gewann er sein Erstrundenmatch knapp gegen Paul Williams mit 4:3. Im Achtelfinale schlug er dann Ronnie Baxter mit 4:2 um ins Viertelfinale einzuziehen, dass er ebenfalls gewann. Mit 5:1 warf er Mark Dudbridge aus dem Turnier. Im Halbfinale gelang ihm dann ein sensationeller Whitewash in Sätzen gegen Bob Anderson, als er nach einem 6:0 in sein erstes WM-Finale einzog. Gegen Phil Taylor führte Painter zunächst 4:1 in Sätzen, bevor dieser sich stark zurück kämpfte und das Finale im letzten Satz in den ersten Last-Leg-Decider einer PDC-Weltmeisterschaft gehen musste. In diesem Leg behielt Phil Taylor die Nerven und checkte über Doppel 5 zum WM-Titel.

2004–2009: Festigung in der Weltspitze und mehrere Major-Halbfinals

Am 15. Februar 2004 gewann Painter sein erstes Finale auf der PDC Pro Tour. Beim UK Open South West Regional Final schlug er im Finale Roland Scholten mit 2:0. Auch bei den anschließenden UK Open 2004 war Painter erfolgreich. Erst im Viertelfinale schied er gegen Steve Beaton aus dem Turnier aus. Wenige Wochen später gewann er das Sheppey Darts Classic.

Beim World Matchplay 2004 kam Painter nach einem Sieg über Lionel Sams in der Verlängerung, ins Achtelfinale, das er nach 36 Legs mit 17:19 gegen Ronnie Baxter verlor. Es handelt sich damit um das längste Achtelfinale in der Geschichte des World Matchplay. Beim World Grand Prix schied Painter abermals gegen Ronnie Baxter aus. Dieses Mal allerdings im Viertelfinale mit 2:4.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2005 erreichte Painter als Nummer 7 der Welt das Viertelfinale. Dafür schlug er zunächst Wayne Jones mit 4:2 und danach Andy Jenkins mit 4:3, bevor er in der Neuauflage des Finals von 2004 gegen den erfolgreichen Titelverteidiger Phil Taylor mit 1:5 verlor.

Beim Las Vegas Desert Classic 2005 gewann Painter in der ersten Runde gegen Adrian Lewis, bevor er im Achtelfinale Alex Roy schlagen konnte. Das Viertelfinale verlor er aber erneut gegen den Gewinner des Turniers Phil Taylor. Beim World Matchplay 2005 schied er in der ersten Runde mit 4:10 gegen Adrian Lewis aus. Beim World Grand Prix gewann Painter sein Erstrundenmatch mit 2:0 gegen Terry Jenkins, bevor er in der zweiten Runde nach einem 2:3 gegen Mark Dudbridge ausschied.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2006 wiederholte Painter seine Viertelfinalteilnahme aus dem Vorjahr. Nach Siegen über Dale Newton, Wes Newton und Mark Dudbridge kam es im Viertelfinale zu einer Wiederholung des Spiels von 2005, indem Phil Taylor erneut mit 5:1 gegen Painter gewann und den WM-Titel später verteidigte.

Bei den UK Open Qualifiers 2005/06 gewann Painter das North East Regional Final mit 2:0 gegen Colin Lloyd und fuhr damit seinen zweiten PDC Pro Tour-Titel ein. Beim World Matchplay 2006 gewann Painter in der ersten Runde mit 10:8 gegen Barrie Bates, verlor aber im Achtelfinale mit 9:13 gegen den späteren Finalisten James Wade. Beim World Grand Prix verlor er zum ersten Mal überhaupt sein Erstrundenmatch, als er sich mit 0:2 Andy Callaby geschlagen geben musste.

Auch bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2007 konnte Painter nicht an seine Vorjahreserfolge anknüpfen. Die damalige Nummer 13 der PDC Order of Merit schied ohne Satzgewinn in der ersten Runde gegen Colin Osborne aus. Sowohl bei den US Open als auch bei den UK Open kam Painter allerdings ins Achtelfinale. Beim Las Vegas Desert Classic 2007 schied Painter in der ersten Runde gegen den Turniersieger Raymond van Barneveld aus.

Beim World Matchplay 2007 verlor Painter in der zweiten Runde mit 6:13 gegen Phil Taylor. Im September 2007 kam Painter erstmals bei einem Players Championship-Turnier ins Halbfinale, als er bei den Windy City Open gegen Turniersieger Ronnie Baxter mit 2:3 verlor. Im Oktober konnte er dies in Kirchheim wiederholen. Hier verlor er erneut gegen den Turniersieger, diesmal Wayne Mardle.

Im November 2007 nahm Painter am erstmals ausgetragenen Grand Slam of Darts teil. In seiner Gruppe schlug er Gary Anderson und Barrie Bates und qualifizierte sich damit als Erstplatzierter für die K.-o.-System hier gewann er das Achtelfinale mit 10:7 gegen Mervyn King, konnte jedoch gegen Gary Anderson seinen Vorrundensieg nicht wiederholen und verlor mit 7:10 im Viertelfinale.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2008 spielte Painter wieder groß auf und kam nach Siegen über Gary Mawson, Chris Mason, Raymond van Barneveld und Adrian Lewis erneut ins Halbfinale, in dem er zum insgesamt fünften Mal gegen den späteren Weltmeister verlor. Mit 2:6 musste sich Painter John Part geschlagen geben, der das Finale mit 7:2 gewann.

Das Las Vegas Desert Classic 2008 verlor Painter wieder einmal gegen den späteren Titelträger Phil Taylor. In der ersten Runde kam er nicht über ein 4:6 hinaus. Beim World Matchplay schied Painter erneut in der ersten Runde aus. Im World Grand Prix konnte Painter dafür wieder ein Spiel gewinnen. Im Achtelfinale verlor er jedoch gegen Colin Lloyd.

Bei der erstmals ausgetragenen European Darts Championship 2008 musste sich Painter in der ersten Runde mit 2:5 Peter Manley geschlagen geben. Auch beim Grand Slam of Darts schied Painter direkt aus.

Auch bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2009 schied Painter zum insgesamt sechsten Mal gegen den späteren Weltmeister aus. Er konnte zwar in den ersten beiden Runden Matt Clark und Carlos Rodríguez besiegen, scheiterte dann aber im Achtelfinale an Phil Taylor. Die erstmals ausgetragenen Players Championship Finals 2009 endeten für Painter in der zweiten Runde, in der er mit 5:6 gegen James Wade verlor.

Bei den UK Open 2009 erreichte Painter sein bestes Ergebnis in diesem Turnier. Nach Siegen über Dave Askew, Steve Grubb, Dennis Priestley und Alan Tabern konnte er sich bis ins Halbfinale vorkämpfen. Das verlor er dann allerdings mit 7:10 gegen Colin Osborne. Beim letztmals ausgetragenen Las Vegas Desert Classic zog Painter wie beim World Matchplay in die zweite Runde ein. Letzteres verlor er wieder einmal gegen den späteren Titelträger Phil Taylor.

Beim World Grand Prix 2009 konnte Painter in der ersten Runde Michael van Gerwen mit 2:0 schlagen, bevor er im Achtelfinale gegen Dennis Priestley mit 3:1 gewann. Erst im Viertelfinale wurde er mit 1:4 von Andy Hamilton gestoppt. Der Grand Slam of Darts begann für Painter wieder mit dem Gruppensieg, bei dem er John Part und Francis Hoenselaar schlagen konnte. Das Achtelfinale gewann Painter dann mit 10:5 gegen Kirk Shepherd bevor er im Viertelfinale wie zuvor in der Gruppenphase gegen Raymond van Barneveld verlor.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2010 kämpfte sich Painter bis ins Achtelfinale. Dafür schlug er in der ersten Runde Mensur Suljović mit 3:1, bevor er in der zweiten Runde gegen Vincent van der Voort mit 4:3 gewinnen konnte. Im Achtelfinale verlor er dann wie beim Grand Slam gegen Raymond van Barneveld, diesmal mit 1:4 in Sätzen.

2010–2013: Erster Major-Titel

Beim World Matchplay 2010 erspielte sich Painter mit Siegen über Colin Lloyd und Mark Walsh, jeweils in der Verlängerung, das Viertelfinale, in dem er mit 4:16 gegen den späteren Titelträger Phil Taylor verlor. Beim World Grand Prix verlor Painter in der zweiten Runde gegen Gary Anderson.

Die PDC World Darts Championship 2011 endete für Painter erstmals wieder in der ersten Runde. Gegen Brendan Dolan konnte er keinen Satz gewinnen.

Als Spieler in den Top 101 der Order of Merit bekam Painter 2011 die neu eingeführte PDC Tour Card, welche von nun an benötigt wurde, um die Turniere der PDC Pro Tour zu spielen. Beim World Matchplay 2011 schied Painter in der ersten Runde nach einem 12:14 gegen Adrian Lewis aus.

Im August 2011 kam Painter erstmals in das Finale eines Players Championship-Turniers. Bei dem Turnier in Kanada verlor er mit 2:6 das Finale gegen Ronnie Baxter. Beim World Grand Prix zwei Monate später, hatte er allerdings weniger Glück. Mit 0:2 in Sätzen verlor er in der ersten Runde gegen Vincent van der Voort.

Im Dezember 2011 gewann Painter seinen ersten (und bisher einzigen) Major-Titel. Bei den Players Championship Finals gewann er gegen Colin Osborne, Gary Anderson, Mervyn King und Scott Rand, bevor er sich gegen Mark Webster im Finale mit 13:9 zum Sieger krönen konnte und damit £60.000 für die Rangliste gewann.

Bei der anschließenden PDC World Darts Championship 2012 kam Painter ins Achtelfinale. Gegen Arron Monk und Mark Walsh konnte er sich noch durchsetzen. In der dritten Runde verlor er dann aber mit 2:4 gegen John Part. Daraufhin wurde er für die Premier League Darts 2012 nominiert, die er auf Rang 7 abschloss.

Bei den Austrian Darts Open 2012, dem ersten European-Darts-Tour-Event, kam Painter ebenfalls ins Achtelfinale. Beim World Matchplay 2012 konnte er allerdings erneut kein Spiel gewinnen. Die European Darts Championship 2012 endete für Painter dafür wieder im Achtelfinale, als er gegen den späteren Finalisten Wes Newton verlor. Beim World Grand Prix musste sich Painter ebenfalls erst in der zweiten Runde geschlagen geben, diesmal gegen Justin Pipe.

Beim Grand Slam of Darts 2012, für den er erstmals seit 2009 wieder qualifiziert war, konnte Painter seine Gruppe als Zweitplatzierter abschließen. Das Achtelfinale gewann er dann noch gegen Mervyn King, im Viertelfinale konnte er seinen Vorrundensieg gegen Dean Winstanley allerdings nicht wiederholen und schied nach einem 12:16 aus dem Turnier aus.

Seinen Players Championship Finals-Sieg konnte Painter nicht verteidigen. im Gegenteil: er scheiterte bereits in der ersten Runde an Michael van Gerwen.

Die PDC World Darts Championship 2013 endete für Painter erneut im Achtelfinale, indem er mit 2:4 gegen Adrian Lewis verlor, nachdem er zuvor Ronnie Baxter mit 4:3 geschlagen hatte.

Auf der PDC Pro Tour 2013 erreichte Painter zweimal das Halbfinale. Bei allen weiteren Majors im Jahr 2013, an denen er teilnahm, kam Painter ins Achtelfinale. Seine letzten Gegner waren dabei Adrian Lewis (sowohl UK Open als auch European Darts Championship, im letzteren Fall auch der Turniersieger), Simon Whitlock (World Matchplay), Andy Hamilton (World Grand Prix) und James Wade (The Masters). Erst beim Grand Slam of Darts 2013 konnte Painter nicht ins Achtelfinale einziehen, sondern schied bereits in der Gruppenphase aus.

Ebenfalls ins Achtelfinale kam Painter dafür wieder bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2014, nachdem er sowohl Tomas Seyler als auch Paul Nicholson keinen Satz überließ, tat Simon Whitlock dasselbe mit ihm in der dritten Runde und warf Painter damit aus dem Turnier.

2014 bis 2021: Verlust der Tour Card und Karriere-Ende

Bei den UK Open 2014 erreichte Painter das Viertelfinale. Auf der Pro Tour hatte Painter hingegen weniger Erfolg, abgesehen von den European Darts Open, bei denen er im Halbfinale gegen den Turniersieger Peter Wright verlor. Beim World Matchplay gelang Painter kein Sieg, beim World Grand Prix hingegen erreichte er das Viertelfinale.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2015 gewann Painter in der ersten Runde gegen Boris Kolzow, schied jedoch in der zweiten Runde überraschend gegen Cristo Reyes aus.

Auch die PDC Pro Tour 2015 verlief für Painter mit zwei Viertelfinalteilnahmen relativ schwach. Erstmals konnte sich Painter nicht für das World Matchplay, den World Grand Prix oder auch die Players Championship Finals qualifizieren. Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2016 war Painter nur noch als Nummer 30 gesetzt. Er gewann zwar in der ersten Runde gegen Kim Viljanen, schied jedoch in der zweiten Runde gegen Phil Taylor mit 1:4 in Sätzen aus.

Auf der PDC Pro Tour 2016 kam Painter viermal ins Achtelfinale, unter anderem bei den German Darts Masters, was jedoch erneut zu wenig war, um sich für die Major-Turniere zu qualifizieren. Lediglich bei den Players Championship Finals 2016 konnte er antreten, verlor jedoch direkt in der ersten Runde gegen den Finalisten Dave Chisnall.

Bei der PDC World Darts Championship 2017 war Painter erstmals wieder nicht gesetzt. Nach einem 3:1-Sieg gegen Jamie Caven konnte er gegen Phil Taylor, der nun zum insgesamt sechsten Mal Painter letzter Gegner bei einer WM war, keinen Satz gewinnen.

Auf der PDC Pro Tour 2017 kam Painter in das Finale des Players Championship Nummer 17, indem er mit 2:6 gegen Kyle Anderson verlor. Ansonsten war auch in diesem Jahr wenig drin für Painter. Ganz knapp qualifizierte sich Painter für die PDC World Darts Championship 2018, bei der er in der ersten Runde mit 0:3 gegen Mensur Suljović verlor.

Auch im anschließenden Jahr konnte Painter keine Erfolge feiern. Einmal kam er ins Achtelfinale eines Players Championship-Turniers, trotzdem qualifizierte er sich nicht für die PDC World Darts Championship 2019 und verlor seine Tour Card. Infolgedessen trat er im Januar 2019 bei der PDC Qualifying School an, wo er zwar einmal das Halbfinale erreichte, allerdings nicht die Tour Card zurückgewinnen konnte. Aus diesem Grund spielte Painter 2019 einige Turniere der PDC Challenge Tour, wo er jedoch ebenfalls keine Erfolge erzielte. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres spielte er dann erstmals wieder einige Turniere der BDO und kam bei den West Midlands Open ins Viertelfinale.

2020 spielte er erneut die PDC Qualifying School, konnte allerdings erneut keine Tour Card gewinnen. Infolgedessen versuchte er sich erneut auf der PDC Challenge Tour, wo er einmal das Viertelfinale erreichte.

Bei der Q-School 2021 erreichte Painter am dritten Tag die Final Stage. Nachdem er jedoch auch am letzten Tag der Q-School keine Tour Card erspielen konnte, verkündete Painter über Twitter das Ende seiner Dartskarriere.

Quotes About Guardians
Enjoy reading and share 239 famous quotes about Guardians with everyone.
"Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom? By those who call themselves the guardians of morality, and who are the constituted guardians of religion. Enquiry, it seems, suits not them. They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is I know not what."
— Frances Wright —
"The army is the only order of men sufficiently united to concur in the same sentiments, and powerful enough to impose them on the rest of their fellow-citizens; but the temper of soldiers, habituated at once to violence and to slavery, renders them very unfit guardians of a legal, or even a civil constitution."
— Edward Gibbon
"We did not choose to be the guardians of the gate, but there is no one else."
— Lyndon B. Johnson
"Sidney, our tomorrows are shaped by the choices we make today. The Dark place we saw may never come to pass if humanity chooses to embrace the Light. As Guardians, it's our desire to help humanity return to the sacred truths. When you're old enough, you may choose to cultivate a path of Light for others to follow. It will be dangerous, and you may fail. The choice will be yours."
— Feather Stone
"Ut who will guard the guardians?"
— Juvenal
"The racial divides in the United States will not be overcome until lynchings of all kinds are as painful to nonblacks as they are to blacks, until each of us become guardians of the sufferings history has bequeathed us."
— Julius Lester
"We are the guardians of a great human function. Perhaps of the greatest function among the endeavors of man. We have achieved much and we have erred often. But we are willing in all humility to make way for our heirs. We are only men and we are only seekers. But we seek for truth with the best there is in our hearts. We seek with what there is of the sublime granted to the race of men. It is a great quest."
— Ayn Rand
"We'de have to get in and get out the hard way; and if we made a mistake, there was no telling what sort of curse we'de unleash: monster guardians, plagues, fires, exploding donkeys(don't laugh; they're bad news)."
— Rick Riordan
"Guardians were made from the beasts that rule their souls, forced to share a human body so they would be servants to the Keepers."
— Andrea Cremer
"You don't have a choice. None of us do. This is who we are. Guardians serve. Right?"
"Werewolves are the guardians of humanity, and their form should be purer while exorcised. They'll be assets in the last battle."
— S.M. Reine
"I dedicate this book to all of you Guardians of Ga'hoole readers who have become like citizens in my imaginary world. Imagination is, in a sense, a two-way street. Through your enthusiasm you have made this world much more real for me. I had originally intended to write only six books. This book, the fifteenth, is the last. It is the last not because your fervor has waned but because this is the logical place for the story of Soren and the band to conclude."
— Kathryn Lasky
"The images of myth must be the daemonic guardians, omnipresent and unnoticed, which protect the growth of the young mind, and guide man's interpretation of his life and struggles."
"At this moment the phrase "police reform" has come into vogue, and the actions of our publicly appointed guardians have attracted attention presidential and pedestrian. You may have heard the talk of diversity, sensitivity training, and body cameras. These are all fine and applicable, but they understate the task and allow the citizens of this country to pretend that there is real distance between their own attitudes and those of the ones appointed to protect them. The truth is that the police reflect America in all of its will and fear, and whatever we might make of this country's criminal justice policy, it cannot be said that it was imposed by a repressive minority. The abuses that have followed from these policies-the sprawling carceral state, the random detention of black people, the torture of suspects-are the product of democratic will."
— Ta-Nehisi Coates
"People who are feeling bullied and people who feel like outsiders should talk to their parents and guardians about finding a place with likeminded people where they can feel accepted. That's what I needed, and that's what I found with musical theater."
— Nick Jonas
"We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching."
— Paul Tsongas
"... I suddenly discerned at my feet, crouching among the rocks for protection against the heat, the marine goddesses for whom Elstir had lain in wait and whom he had surprised there, beneath the dark glaze as lovely as Leonardo would have painted, the marvelous Shadows, sheltering furtively, nimble and silent, ready at the first glimmer of light to slip behind the stone, to hide in a cranny, and prompt, once the menacing ray had passed, to return to the rock or the seaweed over whose torpid slumbers they seemed to be keeping vigil, beneath the sun that crumbled the cliffs and the etiolated ocean, motionless lightfoot guardians darkening the water's surface with their viscous bodies and the attentive gaze of their deep blue eyes."
— Marcel Proust
"Ask a child's guardians what it takes to be good at their jobs, and most will answer with a single word ...
Parents give up so much: time, sleep, freedom, money, intimacy ...
pretty much everything but complaining how much they sacrifice."
— Brian K. Vaughan
"Don't touch her, he growled.
There was a note in his voice that would of scared me if it had been directed toward me. He shoved me behind him, putting his body protectively in front of mine with my back to the table. Guardians came at us from all directions,and Dimitri began dispatching them with the same deadly grace that had once made people call him a god."
— Richelle Mead
"I knew you were a badass," continued Adrian. "But I didn't realize just how much until I saw you dropping guardians out there."
"Does that mean you're going to be nicer to me?" I teased.
"I'm already nice to you," he said loftily. "Do you know how badly I want a cigarette right now? But no. I manfully suffer through nicotine withdrawal-all for you."
"Dimitri.
I hadn't known he was here. His eyes were on me too,dark and endless. Only I couldn't read what he was feeling. His face betrayed nothing, but there was something in his eyes ... something intense and intimidating. The image of him ready to take down that group of guardians flashed through my mind,and something told me that if I asked,He would fight his way to me through this courtroom and do everything in his power to rescue me from it."
"Dimitri is dead," she said.
It was a statement, not a question, but she was looking to me for confirmation. I wondered if I'd given away something, some hint that there was still more to the story. Or maybe she just needed the certainty of those words. And for a moment, I considered telling them that Dimitri was dead. It was what the Academy would tell them, what the guardians would tell them. It would be easier on them ... but somehow, I couldn't stand to lie to them-even if it was a comforting lie. Dimitri would have wanted the whole truth, and his family would too.
"No," I said, and for a heartbeat, hope sprang up in everyone's faces-at least until I spoke again. "Dimitri's a Strigoi."
"It was a lame excuse, and I knew that wasn't the reason he was canceling. If he wanted to avoid me, I would have preferred he made up something about how he and the other guardians had to up Moroi security or practice top-secret ninja moves."
"You understand your responsibilities better than guardians twice your age. You'll do what you have to do to succeed."
"My guess is that you would find that the intellectual elite is the most heavily indoctrinated sector [of society], for good reasons. It's their role as a secular priesthood to really believe the nonsense that they put forth. Other people can repeat it, but it's not that crucial that they really believe it. But for the intellectual elite themselves, it's crucial that they believe it because, after all, they are the guardians of the faith. Except for a very rare person who's an outright liar, it's hard to be a convincing exponent of the faith unless you've internalized it and come to believe it."
— Noam Chomsky
"It is only, or at any rate it is chiefly, the literary and scientific intelligentsia, the very people who ought to be the guardians of liberty, who are beginning to despise it, in theory as well as in practice."
— George Orwell
"In the culture at large, the war over science fiction's creative validity has been long since won, but guardians at the gates of literature, movies, and TV linger unconvinced, even as other genres fitfully transcend critical perceptions of insubstantiality."
— Steve Erickson
"In their role as celestial servants to humans on earth, Angels act variously as guardians, guides, teachers, truth-givers and comforters, protectors of the righteous, punishers of the wicked, and more."
— David Connolly
"Women are the guardians of morality."
— Michel, 14th Prince Of Ligne
"Sanctified by their initiatory experiences and furnished with their spirit guardians, the shaman alone among human beings is able to consciously travel into the spiritual worlds as cosmic explorers."
— Hank Wesselman
"Aerial spirits, by great Jove design'd To be on earth the guardians of mankind: Invisible to mortal eyes they go, And mark our actions, good or bad, below: The immortal spies with watchful care preside, And thrice ten thousand round their charges glide: They can reward with glory or with gold, A power they by Divine permission hold."
— Hesiod
"The faces and the tactics of the leaders may change every four years, or two, or one, but the people go on forever. The people- beaten down today, yet rising tomorrow; losing the road one minute but finding it the next; their eyes always fixed on a star of true brotherhood, equality and dignity- the people are the real guardians of our hopes and dreams."
— Paul Robeson
"Each one of us must in the end choose for himself how far he would like to leave our collective fate to the wayward vagaries of popular assemblies For myself it would be most irksome to be ruled by a bevy of Platonic Guardians, even if I knew how to choose them, which I assuredly do not I should miss the stimulus of living in a society where I have, at least theoretically, some part in the direction of public affairs."
— Learned Hand
"Skeptics squat by the road like guardians of truth, letting no one pass who doesn't come up to scratch. They never realize that they can see only what their paradigm tells them to look for. If you judge a person only by how well he plays pool, Mozart won't pass scrutiny, but the fault is in your lens."
— Deepak Chopra
"Laziness and cowardice explain why so many men ... remain under a life-long tutelage and why it is so easy for some men to set themselves up as the guardians of all the rest ... If I have a book which understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who decides my diet, I need not trouble myself. If I am willing to pay, I need not think. Others will do it for me."
— Immanuel Kant
"In scripture we are told of some trusting in God and others trusting in idols, and that God is our refuge, our strength, our defense. In this sense God is the rock of his people, and false Gods are called the rock of those that trust in them, Deut. xxxii. 4, 15, 18, 30, 31, 37. In the same sense the Gods of the King who shall do according to his will are called Mahuzzims, munitions, fortresses, protectors, guardians, or defenders."
— Isaac Newton
"TRUST, n. In American politics, a large corporation composed in greater part of thrifty working men, widows of small means, orphans in the care of guardians and the courts, with many similar malefactors and public enemies."
— Ambrose Bierce
"The State Legislatures will jealously and closely watch the operations of this Government, and be able to resist with more effect every assumption of power, than any other power on earth can do; and the greatest opponents to a Federal Government admit the State Legislatures to be sure guardians of the people's liberty."
— James Madison
"If they are incorporated into the Constitution, independent tribunals of justice will consider themselves in a peculiar manner the guardians of those rights; they will be an impenetrable bulwark against every assumption of power in the legislative or executive; they will be naturally led to resist every encroachment upon rights expressly stipulated for in the Constitution by the declaration of rights."
"The members of the legislative department ... are numerous. They are distributed and dwell among the people at large. Their connections of blood, of friendship, and of acquaintance embrace a great proportion of the most influential part of the society ... they are more immediately the confidential guardians of their rights and liberties."
"I didn't write 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' I'm not even sure who they all are. I can't wait to see the movie."
— Stan Lee
"Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom? By those who call themselves the guardians of morality, and who are the constituted guardians of religion. Enquiry, it seems, suits not them. They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass
above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is
I know not what."
— Frances Wright
"Kim's gripe with humans was nothing new. She, like the rest of the Guardians, put her life on the line every time she faced demons and was entitles to her own opinion. Sometimes I wish she would tall in love with a human. That would shut her up."
— P.C. Cast
"The boys of the rising generation are to be the men of the next, and the sole guardians of the principles we deliver over to them."
— Thomas Jefferson
"But of all the views of this law [universal education] none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty."
"The Almighty implanted in us these inextinguishable feelings for good and wise purposes. They are the guardians of His image in our heart. They distinguish us from the herd of common animals."
— Thomas Paine
"We shall not be properly educated ourselves, nor will the guardians whom we are training, until we can recognise the qualities of discipline, courage, generosity, greatness of mind, and others akin to them, as well as their opposites in all their manifestations."
"Mob rule and emasculation of the wise' and 'who will watch the guardians'?"
"Humans are born, small, weak and helpless. That's why we have family. And the elders of the family are the honoured guardians of our country's history. Unfortunately, in America, we, you know, lock those elders away out of view in nursing homes and go about our little lives. It's a great national shame and an irredeemable tragedy. Oh well."
— Christopher Titus
"The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. Secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. Modesty is gentle and reserved. Today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. But secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. And the attitude of the grey ones is: Dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret."
— D.H. Lawrence
"Children are our future, and their mothers are its guardians."
— Kofi Annan

These are enormously arresting, odd, wryly humorous, gripping poems. And the variety of subject matter is astounding. I don't know when I've enjoyed reading a book so much.
Don't be fooled by the corners on David Shumate's exquisite texts. They may be shaped like footstools, but they move across your mind like racing shells, leaving bright images and big ideas in their wake. Emily Dickinson tells us that literature will take us where no mere boat goes, and Shumate proves her right with these poems of great beauty, of startling insight.
I've run out of adjectives to describe David Shumate's genius and trajectory as a writer, thinker, and witness to history. To find yourself in the wilderness of a Shumate poem is to be confronted with looming questions: For whom, truly, do we have compassion, and how deep are we willing to go within ourselves to find such compassion? Kimonos in the Closet is as subtle as it is inventive, as inventive as it is indispensable.
"David Shumate's devotion to the prose poem is persuasive evidence of its movement in from the margins (or perhaps of poetry's movement out to the margins). High Water Mark: Prose Poems reads like the work of a conversational free-verse poet who has decided that line breaks are a needless vestigial reflex. His funny, tender little allegories are how Carl Dennis or Billy Collins might write if the Return keys fell off their laptops."
Shumate's High Water Mark is absolutely fresh and unpredictable. I hope it gathers the attention of everyone who truly cares for poetry in our time. You will be surprised by your confrontation with the utterly first rate.
Shumate artfully plays with culture and incongruity to affect new experiences, summoning familiar everyday events and objects for signification . . . In the odd republic Shumate erects in these poems, we find ourselves willing to savor the compassion and inventiveness that roam its indeterminate boundaries.
Shumate covers rich and varied subject matter from animal souls to abstract painters or from having food stuck between one's teeth to envisioning the world a hundred years into the future. He is a knowledgeable thinker who skillfully intertwines allusions to mythology, politics, history, religion, or the arts with wry humor, fanciful imagery and pop culture. . . . As with all good poets, Shumate's poems remind us to open our eyes and really see the lavish, strange, perplexing, and wonderful world around us.
Organized in thematic clusters, the poems in Shumate's 'Kimonos in the Closet' are poems of exchange—cultural, historical, mythological, and personal. Shumate has long occupied a prominent place in the world of prose poetry, but his prose poems ring differently from those of other practitioners of the form. They do not often systematically derange, the senses, though they certainly provide sensory stimulation. . . . Shumate's poems are still mesmerizing, and they are disorienting in a way that gently shakes readers, waking them and welcoming them into the strangeness of being present.

As a child, my daddy had the most annoying habit on Christmas day. He'd gather us around the Christmas tree to open presents. That's not the annoying part. No – the annoying part was where we'd have to wait. Wait for our turn to open gifts and Watch as everyone opened each of their gifts. Waiting and watching. Watching and waiting.
Why all the pageantry? In hindsight, it was all fitting. In lean years, Christmas seemed like more than it was. In abundant years, well . . . Christmas seemed like just a little more.
Too often, I get frustrated with the waiting. I want it now. Yet, we always seem to be waiting on something – until we are old enough to stay up until 10; until we get to high school; until we are old enough to vote; until we are head off to college; until we find that one true love; until we have children; until we retire . . .And, we I don't just wait. We I drive that train at supersonic speed.
We rush through our days. We rush through our lists. We rush through our traditions. Traveling at lightspeed, the everyday miracles blur in our periphery. From time to time, the big ones catch our eyes, but the little ones whiz right by.
Daddy's infuriating tradition was really about the watching. It was about due time. It is about dialing down the days. It is about lingering through our lists. It is about treasuring our traditions. It is about putting on the brakes.
Does anyone else have a little pillow – maybe cross-stitched or lettered in felt – that reads "The Little Things are the Big Things"? Okay, maybe it's just me. Brooke used to make fun of me and that corny little pillow. Yet, at some point, she moved it from the sofa to her bed. I'm sure if she were here, she'd give me some perfectly logical reason for pilfering my pillow. But, I'd like to think that she took the meaning of it to heart. There certainly was a great deal of evidence that she did. For a "kid," she took a lot of time for family and friends and strangers. This is what watching is all about.
Slow down. Bask in the glory of the mundane miracles – an unexpected visit from a friend; a child toddling through their first steps; a smile from a stranger; finding a twenty in your coat pocket; dinner on the table at the end of a long, full day; Thursday Night Football; learning to canter; the sound of wind chimes paying it forward in the drive-through line; setting up your first apartment; showing your black thumb who's boss; white lights on a fresh Christmas tree; baking fresh cookies for a neighbor; matching stockings; watching Elf on a Silent Night . . .
It's about seeking authentic joy even when the road is bumpy.
Dear Lord, give us eyes to see through the monotony of daily life. Help our hearts muse at the mundane. Enlighten us to the "little" things. Send your Spirit to fill ours with authentic joy as we strive to dial down our days and to linger through our lists. Let our traditions honor your traditions. As we celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus, remind us what it really means to wait and to watch.
