Correct Answer - Option 1 : (i) and (ii)
(i) Two forces are said to be equivalent if they have the same magnitude and direction (i.e. they are equal) and produce the same moment about any point (i.e. same line of action).
(ii) Principle of transmissibility follows from this. Two forces that have the same line of action produce the same external effect (i.e.translation or rotation) on the body because they have the same net force and moment about any point.

Global corporations in global governance
Research output: Book/Report/Proceedings › Book
Christopher May
This book offers a concise and accessible overview and analysis of the place of large multinational and regional corporations in the political economy of global governance.May argues that not only do corporations have an impact on the institutions of global governance, but they must be understood as a multifaceted institution of global governance in their own right, controlling and shaping significant aspects of the global political economy.
What are global corporations?
Corporations and global governance
The legal personality of the corporation
Corporations and power
Corporations and tax
The future role of corporations in a post crisis global system
Highlighting the central role of corporations in the generation and reproduction of norms in global governance, this work shows that corporations' practices and relations are themselves both subjects, and sources of, global governance. It offers an enhanced understanding of the complex of issues that pattern the corporate global governance in the contemporary political economy and will be of interest to students in areas including IPE, global governance and international organizations.

Album Reviews, Countdowns
Top 30 Hip-Hop Albums of 2018: #20-11
Posted by syphersights on December 31, 2018 January 1, 2019
2018 may go down as the best year of the 2010s for Hip-Hop releases. It's been a year to be known for the sheer volume of great albums, with so many dropping that it's been a challenge keeping up. While it's great to see the culture thriving with so many artists putting out new music, the amount of new releases makes it difficult for every album to get the listens they deserve. Trying to hear every great album that drops may leave you not fully appreciating any of them, which could make this the toughest year to pick an Album of the Year. Ask ten different Hip-Hop heads what their pick would be, and you'll likely get ten different answers; maybe some that you only played once or twice before moving on to the next album.
While this blog has been focused on reviewing as many Toronto Hip-Hop concerts as possible, it's that time of year when we break down the most memorable albums from the past twelve months. This is an attempt at compiling 30 favourites from 2018, a list that's bound to still be missing some dope releases. Nonetheless, let's get into the countdown! Here's Part 2 of 3, counting down my picks for #20 – 11:
*Click here to go back to Part 1 (#30-21)
20. Jedi Mind Tricks – The Bridge & The Abyss
Picking up right where we left off in the countdown, we have another project by underground legend Vinnie Paz, except this one was produced entirely by Stoupe The Enemy of Mankind. Another one with minimal guest features, Vinnie gets to shine with his hardcore lyricism and thought-provoking songwriting, while Stoupe gets a little experimental with his production and branches out from the traditional Jedi Mind Tricks sound we're used to. While there's still a lot of that hardcore and deep train of thought we expect from JMT, Stoupe also laces Vinnie with some bouncier beats with a more old-school, funkier vibe than what we're used to seeing Vinnie rock over. Highlights from this album include Vinnie taking his storytelling to disturbing levels on "What She Left Behind," trying his hand at a more rapid-fire flow on "Certified Dope," and also a posthumous Sean Price guest appearance crafted for a JMT collaboration. While the experimentation might throw some fans off, the chemistry between Vinnie and Stoupe is undeniable, and together they've made another great addition to their discography.
19. Ice Cube – Everythang's Corrupt
Always one to be blunt and direct with his lyrics, Ice Cube's tenth album couldn't come in a more timely fashion. Having been eight years since his last album, the gap has left Cube with a lot to say, and he speaks out on just about everything we'd expect him to. Starting the album off with the straightforward and obvious "Arrest The President," he goes on to speak out against drug use, and eventually ends up back on the topic of corrupt police officers with "Good Cop Bad Cop." The album isn't entirely an angry lash-out though, as he brings back those upbeat, G-Funk grooves on "That New Funkadelic," and has other certified head-nodders throughout the album. Despite focusing his career on filmmaking and running his BIG3 basketball league in recent years, Cube shows he's able to come back to music anytime he wants and rap like he hasn't lost a step, delivering an updated version of the same style he's been known for.
18. The Black Eyed Peas – Masters of the Sun Vol. 1
It's been hard to trust The Black Eyed Peas after they spent years on end filling their catalogue with watered-down dance and pop songs to the point of becoming corny and washed up, but 2018 marked their reinvigorated return to Hip-Hop. With Fergie now out of the mix, it's left Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, and Taboo the space to create something authentic, and the result is a smooth, boom-bap flavour that will get your head nodding. The sound is very much inspired by The Native Tongues, even featuring one of the last recorded Phife Dawg verses (R.I.P.), and also includes features by De La Soul's Posdnous, Slick Rick, and Nas to drive home their stamp of approval from Hip-Hop. There are still grooves to dance to on here, but the toxic thirst and desperation for pop fame is gone, and we're left with feel-good vibes, raw rap, and a quality album that Hip-Hop heads can enjoy. Welcome back, BEP.
17. PRhyme – PRhyme 2
The team-up of DJ Premier and Royce 5'9″ has been a fun experiment for both artists. Their first album in 2014 had Premo chopping up samples solely from Adrian Younge's compositions, with Royce spitting fierce bars about being in his "permanent prime," and now for the sequel they've done more of the same, but drawing samples from AntMan Wonder's catalogue instead. PRhyme 2 is a longer project, with Royce flexing both with his sharp wordplay and with the maturity of his content, and Preem laying out a more diverse soundscape. The concept of sampling from only one artist makes for a cool beatmaking exercise, but it also seems to limit DJ Premier's ability to bring that hard-hitting boom-bap fans would expect to hear throughout the album, although Royce is able to effectively adapt to the production. It may not be quite what's expected on paper, but PRhyme 2 still proves to be an enjoyable experience for both the artists involved and the fans.
16. Tech N9ne – Planet
Tech N9ne is constantly releasing new music, and his latest release has him exploring his own fictional planet. While his last couple albums before this had him focusing on collaborating with other artists signed to his Strange Music label, this one has him go into his own headspace, airing out his internal mindstate with a variety of moods throughout the album. It's a standard mix of sounds and styles that we're used to hearing on Tech N9ne projects in recent years, ranging from aggressive and hardcore, to lighthearted party tracks, to deep emotional ones. Tech still finds ways to remain fresh though, digging up some old-school 1980's vibes on the single "Don't Nobody Want None," and always slaying with his impeccable combination of breath control, speed, and enunciation. Other highlights on this one include the war anthem that goes well with a workout, "Bad JuJu," a standout guest appearance by Snow Tha Product on "How I'm Feelin'," and of course the Machine Gun Kelly guest appearance that would later spark the highly publicized beef with Eminem.
15. Jay Rock – Redemption
Jay Rock's best album to date put a modern take on west-coast gangsta-rap, and gave it new space in the mainstream. The beats on this album knock hard, and Jay Rock fills it with a ton of memorable hooks that allow him to have staying power with a broader audience. From the hard-hitting street anthems like "ES Tales" to the danceable club tracks like "Tap Out," to the year's biggest sports anthem in "WIN," Redemption has all the ingredients to thrive in Hip-Hop's mainstream landscape. After being forced to spend time away from music to recover from a motorcycle accident, Jay Rock has come back in a big way in 2018, using this album to tell his story of overcoming obstacles, and doing it in a fun way. Time will tell how much of a mark this album will leave in Hip-Hop's history pages, but it will definitely go down as one of Top Dawg Entertainment's best releases.
14. J.I.D – DiCaprio 2
J.I.D's sophomore album on Dreamville Records is a sequel to one of his independent releases before he signed to the label. Using the title to draw comparisons to the acclaimed actor with a string of classic movie roles but minimal Academy Awards, J.I.D is out to prove that him and his label-mates are the most talented in Hip-Hop, regardless of the award snubs. The young Atlanta emcee flexes throughout the album, showcasing an insane rapid-fire flow (at one point forcing label boss J. Cole to step his game up), along with melodic vocal abilities. He proves to be an artist both the young and old heads can get behind, showing a dedication to the craft of emceeing while having the sound and style of a new wave artist. Between 2017's The Never Story and this follow-up in 2018, J.I.D could arguably be the best emcee in Atlanta under the age of 40.
13. Shad – A Short Story About A War
After spending five years exploring other avenues, including filming two seasons of the acclaimed documentary series Hip-Hop Evolution, Shad has returned to rapping with his sixth album. Unlike his previous releases, this one is focused in on a tight concept, following a narrative with him portraying many different characters throughout. It's unlike anything we've heard from Shad before, with him bringing the most energy we've ever heard from him on the mic when portraying the more aggressive characters in the story. It's a thought-provoking plot with "The Sniper" and "The Establishment" representing those in power, "The Stone Throwers" representing the oppressed, "The Fool" representing the privileged/ignorant/blind, and all of them being a metaphor for the war within our minds. This one takes some time to digest, but in time proves to be Shad at his finest artistically.
12. Masta Ace & Marco Polo – A Breukelen Story
Masta Ace & Marco Polo have been making music together for years, but A Breukelen Story is the first time they've teamed up for an entire album. While Masta Ace often structures his albums to tell specific stories, this one actually captures a snapshot in time from two perspectives. With Marco's hard-hitting, soulful beats and Ace's sharp rhymes, along with well-placed skits tying the plot together, they take it back to the early 2000s and tell parallel tales of Ace & Polo's respective experiences in Brooklyn at the time. Masta Ace raps about loving the environment and the culture, thriving as a veteran making some of the best music of his career at the time, while the skits tell the tale of Marco moving from Toronto to pursue his dream in Brooklyn, eventually having his beats find their way to Ace and allowing for their team-up on the acclaimed 2007 single "Nostalgia." With Ace's raps thematically matching the plotpoints in Polo's journey, the storytelling on this album is executed to perfection; not to mention key guest features from Styles P, Elzhi, Lil' Fame, Smith-N-Wesson, EMC, and a masterful character portrayal by Pharoahe Monch.
11. J. Cole – KOD
J. Cole's fifth major-label album is widely considered the biggest snub at the upcoming Grammy Awards with zero nominations, and is rightfully among many larger publications' year-end Album of the Year lists. In a year filled with younger rappers dying from drug overdoses and/or violent lifestyles, J. Cole came out with an album sounding like the style and approach they use, but speaking out against the drug abuse and fuckery. The album with the title meaning King Over Dosed, Kids On Drugs, or Kill Our Demons explores various forms of addiction (money, sex, drugs), and ways of overcoming that addiction. It was a great approach on its own, with J. Cole sounding more energized than ever, but its importance grew and became more impactful as the year went on and more youthful rappers started dying (R.I.P. Mac Miller). It's another J. Cole album with a meaningful message coming at the right time, and the third in a row where he's achieved platinum-certified sales with no guest features.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of this series, where we'll count down the Top 10!

Kendra Wilkinson and Tinchy Stryder have been booted off I'm A Celebrity 2014.
Tinchy and Kendra's time in the jungle came to an end with the celebs finished 5th and 6th respectively.
The campmates got a huge shock when Ant and Dec revealed two people would be leaving right there and then.
Speaking to Ant and Dec afterwards they revealed that they had an inkling something different was coming as there were still a lot of campmates left.
Kendra finally got a chance to explain her friction with Edwina Currie in the camp.
The American TV personality said she argued with Edwina because she felt she attacked her while she was at her lowest point.
She said: 'I was in a vulnerable state of mind.
Tinchy and Kendra were voted off in a shock double elimination (Picture: Rex)
'I'd just got done talking to Michael about my dad and I was in a deep place, and she butts in and doesn't know what we're talking about.
'Her input wasn't asked for. I wanted to share my story and here she is attacking me and it hurt.
'How dare a woman of her age and what she does attack me in that place? We're all out here to feed our families, she just needed to back up.'
She went on to say that she was the bigger person for patching things up with Edwina.
Both Kendra and Tinchy tipped Mel Sykes to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.

This event will be more than a showcase opportunity. A broad selection of EC's projects, both advanced and at early stages, will be presenting their results and sharing their objectives and experiences so far.
At the time of the event, INFSO.E1 will have a portfolio of more than 50 collaborative projects covering domains such as automated translation, language resources, text understanding, and speech-based interactive services.
The event will be organised around topics which will bring together projects regardless of the programme they are being funded under. By clustering projects together in this way, INFSO.E1 believes the participants will have a better overview of what is happening in the respective fields and how EC projects are contributing.
Innovation pilots will be invited to give an insight of their activities, along with the SME-driven activities resulting from a recent call. Language Resources will be covered by presentations and demonstrations from a number of projects. The META-SHARE team will be organising a "hands-on" session, showing interested participants how to upload, share and retrieve their resources.
Additionally, it will be presented the META Strategic Research Agenda. Keynote speakers will include the LT COMPASS project team who will present the Value Chain and Market Research work they are undertaking.
So that participants can have an idea of future research directions and funding opportunities, the ICT Work Programme 2012-2013 will be aired, together with up-to-date information about CEF – the Connecting Europe Facility, a common infrastructure fund to deploy smart interconnected transport, energy and digital networks, and Horizon 2020, the new research and innovation framework, 2014-2020.
In parallel to the showcase event, it will be hosted the fourth and final MultilingualWeb workshop, which is to take place on 15-16 March, 2012.
The event will take place in the conference complex of the Jean Monnet building in Luxembourg. Participation is free of charge, but subject to prior registration and confirmation.
Ivy League scientists at Harvard University in the U.S. have been working on a system that allows a some robots to communicate with each other to complete a task without assistance from humans to investigate how machines are able to imitate biological processes.

KILBIRNIE and Beith have been joined by West Kilbride and Largs in a revised Westminster seat split between North Ayrshire and Renfrewshire.
There was criticism last year, when initial proposals to include Kilbirnie and Beith in a new West Renfrewshire constituency reaching as far north as Erskine were revealed.
The proposals seek to address a reduction in the number of Scottish MPs in the House of Commons and the need to ensure they have a similar number of voters.
Following consultation, the Boundary Commission has now proposed the new constituency of Renfrewshire West.
This seat has a more even split between Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire and reaches to Kilbarchan and Milliken Park.
The lack of reference to the local area has sparked further criticism, with North Ayrshire Council chief executive Elma Murray vowing to urge the commission to ensure the area is represented correctly.
Her suggestion of Renfrewshire West and North Cunninghame would still result in the loss of reference to Ayrshire at Westminster, with both the existing North Ayrshire and Arran and Central Ayrshire disappearing.
At the moment, North Ayrshire is represented by two MPs - Patricia Gibson for North Ayrshire and Arran and Philippa Whitford for Central Ayrshire. North Ayrshire and Arran is fully contained within the North Ayrshire Council area, while Central Ayrshire includes Irvine in North and Troon in South Ayrshire.
Last year's proposals saw the North Coast towns annexed as part of an Inverclyde and Largs constituency, with Kilbirnie and Beith to be absorbed into West Renfrewshire - which reached as far north as Erskine, while the remainder of North Ayrshire formed a third constituency - Cunninghame West.
The proposals put forward are for two new constituencies in North Ayrshire: *Arran and Cunninghame, which would cover Irvine, Kilwinning, Ardrossan, Saltcoats, Stevenston, Dalry, Barrmill, and the Isle of Arran. *Renfrewshire West, which would see West Kilbride, Fairlie, Largs, Skelmorlie, Kilbirnie, Beith and the Isle of Cumbrae form part of the same constituency as towns and villages from Renfrewshire including Johnstone, Linwood, Howwood and Lochwinnoch as well as parts of Paisley.
Ms Murray, who is also the North Ayrshire Returning Officer at elections, said: "I think this consultation is particularly important for our residents who are currently part of the North Ayrshire and Arran constituency but will find themselves part of the proposed Renfrewshire West constituency.
"I will be making the case to the Boundary Commission that the Ayrshire towns and villages must be represented in the name of the constituency, perhaps Renfrewshire West and North Cunninghame.
''I strongly believe that the name of the constituency must be one which the voters can relate to and the proposed name does not achieve that.
You can view and comment on the Boundary Commission proposals online at www. bcs2018.org.uk/ and the consultation will run until 11 December 2017. Arrangements are also being made to display the proposals in North Ayrshire libraries.

Wings (Black City #3)(10)
Author: Elizabeth Richards
"You're here! I was starting to think you weren't coming," she says giddily. Has she been drinking?
"Nice suit," Eric says sincerely, sliding his hand down Catherine's back.
Furious, I grab Catherine's arm and lead her away from the group. Patrick watches us, a smirk on his lips.
"What the hell, Catherine?" I snap. "I thought I was your date tonight."
"What . . . ?" A small crease forms between her brows, and then her eyes suddenly widen as she catches on. "Oh, Edmund, no, I'm so sorry." She lightly touches my arm. "I meant we'd come together as friends. That's why I invited Drew and Harriet too."
"But we kissed," I say.
Color floods her cheeks, and she lowers her gaze.
I think back to the kiss and realize that at no point did Catherine return it. She also told Patrick it was just a good-night kiss between friends, because that's all we are in her mind. She was trying to let me down gently, to spare my feelings. It's my fault I chose to ignore the signs. There's a titter of laughter from Harriet, who's clearly been eavesdropping on our conversation. I don't dare look at Patrick's reaction.
Catherine nervously plays with her yellow lace gloves. "I care for you, Edmund, so much. It's just—" She flicks a look at Eric.
"You like him more," I finish for her, letting go of her arm.
"I'm so sorry," she says, her brown eyes brimming with tears. "Please say you forgive me. I couldn't stand you being mad at me, Edmund."
"Don't worry about it, Caterpillar. My mistake. Can't blame a guy for trying." I chuckle slightly, but the sound cracks. "Friends?"
She gives me a grateful smile. "The best."
Catherine takes my hand as we walk back to the others. I want more than anything to go home, but I don't want to give Patrick the satisfaction of knowing how much Catherine's rejection stings. Harriet laughs as we join the group.
"The moron thought you were on a date?" she says.
"It's not funny, Harri," Catherine says.
Eric scratches his freckled neck. "Sorry, Ed, I didn't know you and Cat had plans."
"It's fine," I say flatly, dying inside.
Patrick strolls over to me. He dips his head so that his mouth is just millimeters from my ear. "How could you ever think my sister would want to be with you, freak?"
That does it. I spin around and shove him. Patrick staggers back, surprised by my unexpected strength. Fury blazes over his face, contorting his features, and he strikes back, his punch landing squarely on my left cheek, sending two teeth flying out of my mouth. They fall into the dirt by Catherine's feet, like a pair of glistening pearls. She gasps. The teeth are neatly attached by a thin steel wire. Drew and Harriet start laughing.
"Oh my God, the freak wears dentures!" Harriet squeals.
The music stops, and a hush falls over the town square as everyone turns to stare at us.
I drop to my knees and frantically gather my dentures, wedging them into my mouth without bothering to wipe off the dirt. Grandfather was right, this was too risky! What was I thinking? Patrick narrows his blue eyes at me. Catherine pushes past him and sinks down beside me, not caring that her yellow silk dress is getting covered in mud.
"Are you okay?" she says.
I can't look at her. I can't look at anyone, as fear and humiliation burns through me like the scalding water that destroyed my flesh.
"Lots of people have dentures, Edmund," she says kindly. "It's not an issue."
Eric crouches down beside her. "Yeah, really, it's no big deal. My uncle lost all of his front teeth when he was our age. Admittedly, a horse kicked him in the face . . ."
They haven't put two and two together yet, but I can't quell the panic rising in me. It's only a matter of time before they start wondering why a boy my age needs fake teeth. A shadow passes over us, and I glance up to see my grandfather, along with the Langdons.
"Catherine Elizabeth Langdon, you're ruining your new dress!" Mrs. Langdon says.
Catherine rolls her eyes, getting to her feet. Grandfather helps me up.
"Perhaps you should go home?" he says. His voice is tense. Afraid.
Mr. Langdon glares at his son. "Patrick, apologize to Edmund."
Hatred simmers in Patrick's blue eyes. "Sorry you're such a freak."
"Patrick!" Mrs. Langdon exclaims.
My heart suddenly cramps and I gasp, clutching a hand to my chest. "Gah!"
"Edmund, what is it?" Catherine says, placing a hand on my arm.
Instinctively I whip my head around, drawn to the Boundary Wall for some reason. I scan the dark, searching for . . . I have no idea what. Something silver flashes across the rooftops.
"Is everything all right?" Catherine asks.
Another streak of silver leaps between two buildings. I get a good look this time.
"Howler!" I cry out.
The town square erupts into screams and chaos as the Lupine springs off the rooftop into the plaza, his long, smoke-gray jacket flaring behind him. The cool night breeze ruffles his snow-white hair, which has been decorated with feathers and bones. I know who he is, based on Grandfather's past descriptions of him: Alaric Bane, the Lupine pack leader.
Behind him, more Lupines leap off the rooftops and surround the plaza, blocking the escape routes. Others hang back on the wall, their faces obscured by shadows. Families huddle together, terrified, realizing they're trapped. One of the Howlers—a vicious-looking man with a speckled-gray mane and a crescent moon tattoo on his neck—stands nearest to us. Catherine lets out a whimper and clings on to Eric, and Mr. Langdon stands protectively in front of his wife. Out the corner of my eye, I notice Patrick drawing the dagger from his belt. Harriet and Drew do the same.
One of the Howlers—a plain-looking teenage girl with short hair and wind-burned cheeks—slowly approaches the wooden cross. Her furlike hair is white, just like the girl on the cross. Given the way she's looking at the girl, I wonder if they were sisters.
"We don't want a fight," Alaric says to my grandfather, which I find odd, since Mr. Langdon is the man in charge. "I just want my daughter's body back."
"You're trespassing on Guild territory, Alaric," Grandfather says. "You need to leave."
"Not without my sister," the Lupine girl replies.
"Ulrika, be silent," Alaric snarls.
The girl's jaw immediately snaps shut, but her eyes are like flints.
"You kidnapped four of our people and you never returned their bodies to us," Mr. Langdon says. "Perhaps this will be a warning—"
"I will ask you again, please leave," Grandfather interrupts and Mr. Langdon throws him a cold look, his cheeks flushing.
"Not until we get what we came for." Alaric approaches the wooden cross and uses his razor-sharp nails to sever the binds around his daughter's arms. Her body collapses over his shoulder. Ulrika clenches her jaw, visibly holding back her grief, but her father knocks back his head and lets out a pained howl. The other Lupines join him. Big mistake.
The second they're distracted, Eric reaches for something in his belt—a dagger—and thrusts it at the Lupine beside him. The blade sinks into the man's flesh, and he howls in pain. Eric pulls out the blade and attempts to stab the Lupine again. This time he grabs Eric and rips out the boy's throat, spraying hot blood into the air. My senses explode as the predator inside me roars with thirst. The Lupine tosses Eric's dead body to the ground.
It all happens in a flash: Patrick lunges for the Lupine and it swipes out a clawed hand to protect itself, accidentally slashing Catherine's neck and chest in the process. She gasps, staggering back, as blood blooms over her yellow silk dress, while Patrick and the Lupine crash to the ground. They roll across the dirt, wrestling for their lives.
Harriet, Drew and Mr. Langdon draw their daggers and plunge their blades into the Lupine's body, stabbing him over and over until the ground is awash with his blood. Mrs. Langdon faints, her blue satin dress pooling around her like an ocean. The town is soon in pandemonium as people push and scream, desperate to get out of the plaza. In the melee, Catherine slips down a nearby alleyway, clearly keen to get away from the Lupines blocking the path to her house. I chase after her.
The winding passageway is cramped and as black as Cinderstone. I follow the trail of Catherine's blood, my hunger igniting with every footstep. I don't feel like a boy looking for a girl; I feel like a hunter stalking its prey. I shake my head, trying to force out these thoughts.
Somewhere behind me, Alaric howls, calling his pack. I quickly scan the rooftops. The Lupines are retreating to the wall, Alaric leading the way. In his arms is his dead daughter. At the end of the pack is Ulrika. There's a pop of gunfire and a bullet whizzes past her, grazing her right arm. She gasps, losing her footing, and falls, unbeknownst to the other Howlers. They keep going without her, leaving her to the mercy of the townsfolk. I don't have time to worry about her now. I rush over to Catherine, who is lying in a ball on the ground at the far end of the passageway, quiet and still. I kneel down beside her.
"Edmund . . . thank His Mighty . . . you're here," she rasps, causing crimson blood to spurt out of the gruesome slash marks on her neck. My insides clench and I shut my eyes, taking a shaky breath, but it's too late. I've smelled her blood. I can taste her in my mouth. My thirst consumes me, touching every nerve, every fiber of my body, demanding one thing: drink.
She lets out a startled gasp as I sink my teeth into the open wound on her neck and begin to feed. Unlike my grandfather's blood, hers is sweet and delicious, and a groan forms in my throat. Her fists pound against my arms, trying to stop me, but her struggling just excites the predator in me even more. In my darkest moments I've fantasized about doing this to her, but the reality is so much better than any dream. I don't have to hide what I am now. I can take her, I can have her in a way no other boy can, and she's powerless to stop me.
This thought alone brings me screeching back to reality. I yank my head back, gasping, my mouth dripping with her blood. I'm not a monster; I'm not like my father! I can be pure, I can be good. Oh Lord, what have I done? I hurriedly press my hands against her neck, trying to stem the bleeding. The fear and shock on her face makes me feel sick with guilt.
"By His Mighty's name! What are you doing?"
I spin around. Grandfather stares at me, horror-struck. He pushes me out of the way and quickly checks her pulse.
"We need to take her to the hospital," I say.
"We can't," he says quietly. "They'll execute you, Edmund. And me."
Catherine's eyes widen with terror, understanding what this means. "Please don't kill me," she gurgles, rolling her head toward me. "I won't tell, Edmund, I promise . . ."
"I'm sorry, Catherine," Grandfather says. "But I have to protect my grandson."
With a swift motion he grabs her head and twists it to one side. There's a gruesome crack as something inside her breaks. The fear immediately fades from her eyes. I stagger back against the building, my hands clamped over my mouth to muffle my scream.
There's a rustle on the thatched rooftop above me, and I gaze up. Ulrika's silver eyes peer down at me, her body pressed flat against the straw. A trickle of blood courses down her bare arm from the gunshot wound. She looks as startled as I feel. How long has she been there? Grandfather hasn't noticed her yet, as he's too busy staring at his blood-soaked hands.
"I saw Catherine come down this way!" Patrick calls from farther down the alley.
Ulrika doesn't wait around to be caught—she leaps onto her feet and springs across the rooftops toward the Boundary Wall. She scales the wall and drops down the other side.
"You need to go, Edmund. I'll tell them I found her like this," Grandfather says.
I give Catherine's body one last fleeting look before racing down an adjoining alleyway that leads home. The last thing I hear before entering the sanctuary of the church is Patrick's guttural cry.
I START AWAKE, wondering what pulled me out of my sleep. I'd been having a nightmare about the homeless guy with the rotting face. He was dressed in gleaming white Pilgrim robes and was chasing me through the streets of Black City. Then he turned into one of the Tin Men from Scott's shop and I was suddenly trapped behind the mirrored door, unable to breathe, as the walls closed in around me. It was terrifying, but something about it triggered a memory . . . the Pilgrim robes . . . Then it hits me. I saw a Pilgrim back in Thrace with shimmery gray eyes just like the Tin Man's! I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. It must be some sort of genetic defect, like people with one blue eye and one brown.
I glance about my stark room, which I share with my parents. Their beds are empty. I check the clock. It's barely seven in the morning. Where are they? Footsteps run past my room and I climb out of bed, curious to know what's going on. I inch the door open. Several soldiers rush down the corridor, heading toward the main concourse.
Across the hallway, the door to Elijah's room opens. He's wearing a loose white T-shirt and a pair of striped pajama bottoms that are slightly too long for him.
"What's going on?" he says, groggily running a hand through his russet hair.
"I don't know. Let's go find out," I reply.

Baby Daddy never saw a better liar.
There we were just casually binging the entire series of Baby Daddy when we stumbled across Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale in season 3 episode 4 "Bonnie's Unreal Estate". We totally forgot she guest starred in this episode! And she was incredible. The greatest (littlest) liar Baby Daddy has ever seen. Check out our recap of the episode below.
So Riley is left in charge of Lucy Hale's character, Piper Stockdale.
The reverend in question is being investigated for money laundering, and Riley must keep Piper away from the press. Or, in Danny and Tucker's words, babysit her.
At first, Piper seems like just your typical reverend's daughter.
She reveals her true identity.
Yep. The reverend's daughter is a secret wild child, who forces Danny and Tucker to play strip poker and take tequila shots. Yikes.
When Riley returns, she continues to believe Piper's sweet innocent act.
For a while, it doesn't look like Piper will be able to get away from Riley.
Poor Riley — she just has no idea.
But then she manages to convince Ben to help her escape.
She pretends she's interested in buying the apartment Ben is desperately trying to sell so he can save Bonnie's job.
Sadly, things don't go as planned for Ben.
Instead of helping Ben get Riley back, Piper throws a party in the apartment that's for sale.
When caught, Piper continues the whole innocent act.
And Riley still believes it.
But then Ben calls Piper out.
Ah! Hello, Pretty Little Liars' reference!
And Piper finally comes clean to Riley.
Although, she probably didn't need to come that clean.
Riley tries to get through to her.
And ends up sleeping with Danny!
When Piper next faces Riley, her apology isn't the most convincing.
As you may have guessed, it was a complete and utter lie.
But it all works out for Riley in the end.
She manages to convince Piper to tell her dad that she did an amazing job of looking after her. Yay!
So ... the moral of this story?
Did you love Lucy Hale in this episode? Tell us in the comments!
Binge every episode of Baby Daddy everywhere you watch Freeform.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a regional city (pop. 30,000 in 2018) in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. Kalgoorlie is a mining town with a long history that contains much of interest to the adventurous traveller. Over a hundred years of mining wealth has produced some beautiful old buildings that house pubs, post offices and general shops.
Grand public architecture reflects the wealth drawn from the gold mining that the city is built on.
The largest open cut gold mine in Australia abuts the town, though you are unlikely to notice it except for the mountain of dirt along the mines edge or the reverberations of the daily blast.
Kalgoorlie makes an ideal base to explore the other towns in the region that have an equally rich history.
Kalgoorlie Visitor Centre, Cnr Hannan and Wilson St, ☏ +61 8 9168 1177, visitors@kalgoorlie.com. M-F 8:30AM-5PM, Sa Su 9AM-noon. Your best source for free pamphlets, maps and gold encrusted souvenirs.
Kalgoorlie is about 600 km east of Perth, 397 km north of Esperance and 235 km south of Leonora. To the east is the endless desert.
From Esperance - TransWa runs 3 buses a week. The services on Wednesday and Friday leave Esperance's Dempster St Bus Station at 8:35AM, arriving Kalgoorlie train station 5 hours later. The Sunday bus leaves at 2PM. It stops at towns along the way including Norseman, Kambalda and Coolgardie.
Kalgoorlie is the end point for three major highways. From Perth, the Great Eastern Hwy is the most direct path (596 km, 6-7 hours). From Esperance, the Coolgardie-Esperance Hwy (397 km, 4½ hr) connects up with the Great Eastern Hwy about 40 km away from Kalgoorlie. A detour via Kambalda on the Goldfields Hwy is slightly shorter. From Leonora, the Goldfields Hwy is a fairly quick drive in from anywhere north (235 km, less than 3 hr).
All the highways are sealed. There are frequent food and fuel stops at small towns along the way, except for on the Goldfields Hwy which has only one town, Menzies, along the way which doesn't have fuel at times. It would be a good idea to fill up in Leonora.
From Interstate[edit]
Norseman sits at the western side of the Eyre Hwy at the end of the long drive across the Nullabor plain. From here it's 191 km north on the Coolgardie-Esperance Hwy to Kalgoorlie.
-30.789444121.4616671 Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport (KGI IATA) (7 km from the centre of town). The small but modern airport has several daily flights from Perth, interstate and a couple of regional centers.
Parking can be a problem as the carpark is often full with cars left behind by fly-in/fly-out workers. Taxis wait for every arriving flight and cost around $10 to town. There isn't an airport bus service and the local bus doesn't pass anywhere near the airport.
From Perth[edit]
Daily Qantas flights leave from Terminal 1 at Perth Domestic Airport. Skywest has less frequent flights throughout the week.
Skywest have a weekly flight from Melbourne and Qantas flys as often from Adelaide.
Kalgoorlie is on the interstate line that sees regular passenger services. The train station is in the main part of town within walking distance of backpackers and some hotels.
-31.482736118.2779491 The Prospector. One of the more pleasant ways to get here. The modern train takes about 7 hours from Perth with a few stops along the way. You can board in Perth at either the East Perth Rail Terminal or Midland Train Station. Onboard conditions are similar to economy class in an airliner, except that extra leg room is provided instead of free meals. Snacks and drinks can be purchased in the buffet car and there is a seat back digital entertainment system. Services leave Perth on M-Sa at 7:10 AM. An additional afternoon service only on Monday and Friday leaves at 3:15 PM. Sunday has only one train, departing at 2:10 PM. Similar departure times apply to services from Kalgoorlie to Perth. $93.70. (updated Sep 2022)
The Indian Pacific, ☏ +61 8 8213 4401, toll-free: 1800 703 357, salesenquiries@greatsouthernrail.com.au. Operates between Perth and Sydney via Adelaide, with a scheduled three-hour stop in Kalgoorlie on the eastbound service. This train now runs only once weekly in each direction (passing through Kalgoorlie westbound on Friday nights, and eastbound on Sunday nights), and offers only platinum and gold class sleeper cabin accommodation. Although transcontinental passengers on this train may be able to organise a stopover in Kalgoorlie, those wishing to travel only between Perth and Kalgoorlie or vice versa should take The Prospector instead.

30°44′43″S 121°28′31″E
Most of the town attractions are clustered within walking distance in the centre of town. If you don't have a car it would be worth hiring one to get out to the spots on the outskirts.
All the major rental car companies have booths at the airport. There is a big demand from the mining companies, especially during trade exhibitions so it would be worthwhile to book well in advance. Generally there large sedans and 4WD are the most common type of cat but you might be able to get a hatchback if you are just running about town.
By taxi[edit]
There are plenty of taxis that operate late into the night in the entertainment areas along Hannan St. The usual taxi charges apply.
Three routes of Transperth buses circle around town about every hour during the daylight hours. Weekend services are limited to the mornings. Most useful is route 2 that runs between Kalgoorlie and Boulder. The terminal for all services is at the intersection of Maritana and Hannan St, out the front of the Exchange and Palace Hotels. Timetables and route maps are available on the bus or at the visitors centre.
The depth of the Super pit makes everything look small.
You don't have to walk too far to see a plethora of historic buildings from different architectural eras. Some of the best examples line the length of Hannan St and adjoining streets. The businesses that occupy them now have preserved the original interiors in varying degrees, through design or neglect.

The towering framehead that marks the buildings entrance gives a hint that this is no ordinary museum. Gold nuggets and other glittering items are displayed in an underground vault and the second floor is taken up with Indigenous cultural objects, historical artifacts from the early mining days and a collection of crumbling trade union banners in the adjoining British Arms Hotel.

-30.738346121.479117 Mount Charlotte Reservoir and Lookout, off Goldfields Highway. The reservoir is the end of a remarkable series of pipes and pumps that brought fresh water to Kalgoorlie. As well as a bit of information, the site on the hill is also the best lookout over Kalgoorlie city. (updated Dec 2017)
Surrounding areas[edit]
The past 100 years has seen the activity in the surrounding region flourish and disappear with the whims of gold discoveries, leaving behind a few crumbling scraps of their existence.
-30.44192121.4171798 Kanowna, Yari Rd (29km east of Kal). A pair of cemeteries, a length of train platform and the occasional broken whiskey bottle are all that remains of a once thriving town of 12000 that occupies a flat plain pockmarked with abandoned mines. Take a drive around the streets past signs identifying where now invisible stores, hotels and businesses once stood.
Some say there is nothing to do except drink. You can easily prove them wrong without much effort.
Karkula Bushland Park, Paddington Dr. On the edge of town is an expansive nature reserve filled with Salmon Gums, Blackbutt and the silky pear that gives the park its name. A network of trails criss-cross the main 4-km loop that leads uphill to a elevated viewing platform, allowing good views over surrounding plain. Infrequent information boards identify salient tree and plant species. Wildlife tend to stay out of sight, though the flies are annoyingly abundant on warm afternoons. Free.

Tours start at 3pm each day. Adults $20, seniors $18.

Dept. of Speculation, by Jenny Offill: This book only came out on January 28th, and I'm already calling it one of my favorites of the year. Told as a series of vignettes and interspersed with quotes on life, philosophy and love, the novel's structure is unique--but that allows it to tell an otherwise mundane story of marriage, parenthood and infidelity in a way that feels entirely fresh. Read my full review of Dept. of Speculation, and make sure to get yourself a copy sooner than later.
A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or, A Neetsa Pizza Employee's Guide to Saving the World, by Rachel Cantor: I first heard of this book on the Twitter somewhere, and I'm so glad I acted on whatever tip it was that pointed me towards it. This is an odd little book, set in a world of fast food chains and corporations that is hard to grasp at first. Once I let go of my expectations and decided to just go along for the ride, I found a heartfelt, if quirky, tale of love, family, and, you know, saving the world. Downright original.
Hollow City, by Ransom Riggs: If you've read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, you already know you're in for a treat with Riggs' second novel of the Miss Peregrine series (and if you haven't read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, get on that, stat). Hollow City continues the story of Jacob and his peculiar friends as they flee the monsters that threaten the entire world, and, like the first volume in the series, combines thoroughly entertaining storytelling with a collection of vintage photographs. And yes, it does end in another cliffhanger, so we can (hopefully) expect more from Riggs in this vein.
The Invention of Wings, by Sue Monk Kidd: I've long been a fan of Kidd's writing (if you haven't read The Secret Life of Bees, set aside whatever you think you know of the book and go on and read it). The Invention of Wings was picked as Oprah's latest 2.0-or-whatever-it's-called book club pick, which means it doesn't need too much more pushing to find its way into readers hands, but let me just add: If you tend to steer away from Oprah's picks, let this be the exception to that rule. Kidd's retelling of the historical story of two abolitionists in 19th century America is heartfelt and important, and, like her past work, generally incredible.
I'm keeping Dept. of Speculation on my Best Of list, too...so good. I really think I need to add A Highly Unlikely Scenario to my reading list, it sounds like something I'd love.
It's a fun romp, if I may call it that!
What a great month! I already had Cantor's title on my wishlist, but sounds like I need to add Dept of Speculation too.
YES! Dept of Speculation is so so so excellent.
I can't believe how much people are loving The Dept. of Speculation! Must read, must read, must read.
Must read indeed (look, I made a rhyme!). It's fabulous.
So many wonderful things have been said about The Dept. of Speculation. And The Invention of Wings is high on my priority list! Have a great February!!
The Invention of Wings was a good one. I love Sue Monk Kidd's work.
I keep forgetting the new Ransom Riggs book has come out! I need to get that next time I'm at the library -- I love how beautifully illustrated the books are, and I enjoyed the first one.
Yesss! If you enjoyed the first one, the second is definitely a treat.
I'm about to start Sue Monk Kidd's new book. I've heard generally good things about that one and it looks like a fast read, which I could use right now.
I actually wasn't a big fan of Dept of Speculation, but I admired what she was trying to do in that book even if I didn't find her particularly successful.
The Invention of Wings is definitely fast - not short, but it moves quickly.
I think yours is the first dissenting opinion I've heard of Dept of Speculation! Always good to hear multiple perspectives, though. I fell head-over-heels in love with it from round about page 2.
It goes by so fast, and yet I found a lot to pause on. Really excellent reading.

I posted on the semi final thread that I'm sick of the likes of garces not getting held to account for terrible performances, in this case rewarded. Last week was an absolute disgrace the amount of things he missed & I'd include some of the occasional decisions he threw our way as well.
What are the assessors looking at I want to know? Some of the things he is missing are blatant out. An example from last week Saracens 6 plays the ball off his feet in a ruck with his feet, with garces watching on, that's 3 penalties in 1 play.

There's been a group set up now to look at ways to encourage more attacking play to neutralise the blitz defences & reduce the amount of collisions in the game. Some of the ideas so far are 13 a side, getting the throw into the line out for kicks to touch in the opposition half etc. I think it was Wardy that said the biggest issue in this regard for the game is the offside line & if this was correctly monitored by referees it would remove a lot of these issues straight away. I'd agree with that statement.
I'm no big soccer fan but by & large they have the offside rule down (yes there is the odd howler, but you won't get away with living offside all game). I can't understand why the touch judges in rugby aren't made strictly inforce the offside line, they are both looking in from the line & have to spot most of the infringements. Teams wouldn't be long copping on if it was penalty after penalty & it would improve the game no end.
Poor refereeing & officiating like we see from the likes of garces are damaging the game in the long run.
Offside needs to be material for it to be picked up and actually penalised. When you say strictly enforced? What do you want ARs to be doing? Thryre on the mic all the time to ref with trends in games...
You've said this before, OL, and I've never agreed with you. Offside being material is about more than the nearest one or two defenders being a bit too close to the scrumhalf at the ruck. The reason for the offside line being behind the hindmost foot is to restrict the capacity of an entire defensive line to rush up and kill off the space for the attacking side. Failing to enforce that law means that a defensive line behind (or should I say, "behind") a ruck is able to immediately get into the faces of the attacking side not merely at the moment an attacking player receives the ball, but even as the scrumhalf lifts it. It is, therefore, absolutely material when the fourth, fifth or even eighth player out on the defending side is poised and ready to sprint towards an opposition receiver from an offside position. This makes it far more difficult for the team in possession to actually attack, leading to the prevalence of box-kicking, grubber kicks and multiple breakdowns.
If the offside law were properly enforced, there would be more space for the attacking side to run into, meaning we would see more rugby with ball in hand, fewer phases of ruck-to-ruck play and god help us, a few more line breaks. I want the ARs to police the offside line far more strictly from the outset of every game, and again from the start of the second half as a reminder. Like Piquet and MM say, players getting pinged for something early on means that the offence is less likely to continue being committed. That will in turn lead to less, rather than more, stop-start play.

One of the many complaints you'll hear about modern rugby is the lack of space.
This is very clear when you've a defending player smashing a receiver just as he gets the ball. There is absolutely no way that the defending player started from an offside position.
It's very obvious to anyone with even a passing interest in the game that these offside, rush defences are creating the lack of space that people talk about.
There is absolutely no doubt that the more cynical teams (I'm looking at you Leinster and Sarries) are offside numerous times during a game. The correlation between being successful and being offside must be pretty high.

For the sport to not be a complete whistlefest there must be some leniancy in these areas especially with the speed of defensive lines in the pro game.
People keep saying proper enforcement of the offside law but in practicality what do ye want done? The AR to go on the ref mic every single time a player strays offside then?

Great Chamberlain of the Red Empire
In the Leinster V Toulouse semi final Barnes (unusually) penalised both sides in the first five minutes for the tackler not rolling. Thereafter the teams knew they weren't going to be left to lie all over the breakdown so they didn't do it. All it takes is the ARs to ping side's for being offside, the players will adapt accordingly and we will have a bit of space.
But they do when it is necessary to.
And ARs are on mic to refs all the time all depends on whether ref see's need to penalise one side or other.
The game constantly evolves, as does the nature of officiating. The introduction of the TMO is one example of something that changed whole parts of what refereeing is about - same goes for the capacity for the ref to review incidents on the big screen in a stadium. This is a non-issue.
Materiality not being simply about the nearest one or two defenders is exactly the point I was making - ALL players in the defending team should be behind the hindmost foot of a ruck or else retreating with their hands in the air to show they are not interfering in an offside position.
Yes, a whistle-fest is undesirable - but this is something that usually happens as a direct result of a ref failing to impose his authority from the outset and with consistency, e.g constant resetting of scrums when a ref won't penalise deliberate collapsing, failing to drive straight etc.
Yes, I absolutely, definitely, 100% want the defensive line to be behind the hindmost foot of the ruck and to be strictly enforced by a flag from the assistant referee to result in some form of sanction against the offending side, most likely a penalty kick. A less drastic alternative could be a scrum/free kick to the side in possession 10m ahead of where the offside offence took place. This would eradicate the problem within a matter of weeks. The current farcical non-implementation of the laws is a blight on the game - this will not change until mindsets like yours, as someone who is in a position to implement the laws, do.
Ideally every player would but if a player(players) quite wide out/far out from breakdown in defensive line are a step or two offside then we shouldnt penalise them all the time. Or else you have to go down line of penalising far more at breakdown and everywhere else in game simply because theyre infringing.
A whistlefest isnt simply because a ref fails to impost authority. You have to give benefit of doubt to teams and cant simply look to penalise especially when the game is long enough as it is. And Yes ARs are in communication with refs via their mics but how much do we want them to be calling up offsides?
A Touch Judge/Assistant Ref puts their flag up for foul play only. Not penalties.
And im sorry chippy if you think officials being this bit more harsher on teams would eradicate this then you are extremely naive.
You have to have a feel for the game and simply penalising everything because the law isnt being followed to the letter makes the sport far worse off.
Same with breakdown work and differences in how it is refereed.
if a player(players) quite wide out/far out from breakdown in defensive line are a step or two offside then we shouldnt penalise them all the time. Or else you have to go down line of penalising far more at breakdown and everywhere else in game simply because theyre infringing.
Yes, you should. This is why the law was introduced, to prevent the closing down of attacking space. Failing to implement this is a significant failure on the part of the officials which has a substantial, material effect on the way the game is played.
A whistlefest isnt simply because a ref fails to impost authority. You have to give benefit of doubt to teams and cant simply look to penalise especially when the game is long enough as it is.
The majority of the time, it is exactly because of a ref failing to be clear, authoritative and consistent from the outset, i.e. from the start of the game. Players aren't stupid, they quickly adapt to what a ref will whistle and adapt accordingly - or concede penalties, meaning they will be more likely to lose the game. Coaches aren't stupid either, and they will train their players to "play to the whistle".
And Yes ARs are in communication with refs via their mics but how much do we want them to be calling up offsides?
As I said above - for the hindmost foot of the ruck, 100% unless players are retreating with hands in the air to show they are not interfering with play (and not obstructing, obviously).
No reason why this can't be changed, but in any case as you say the AR is in communication with the ref via microphone - there's nothing to stop them telling him/her that the defending team has crept offside so that the ref can initially warn and then where necessary penalise. Especially if it's something that team is doing for the second, fourth, 20th time. It's the responsibility of the ref to follow up on this and if he/she doesn't, he should be hauled over the coals at review.
Ah here. "When six people tell you you're sick, lie down!" Your constant refusal to accept any sort of alternative view, even when it comes from multiple sources, is indicative of a firmly closed mind. I've never seen you criticise a ref's decision, and when people post any sort of criticism of referees on here your default response is to jump in to defend them. It's a classic example of "closed ranks". How can you expect anyone to engage with you or take your contributions about refereeing seriously when you have zero acceptance of anyone else's input?
The tip tackle was all but eradicated from the game in a matter of weeks after the referees were instructed to have zero tolerance. Really nasty high tackles are increasingly rare and the mid air challenge has become a lot safer. If the referees showed zero tolerance for the blitz being offside it wouldn't happen anymore. I understand there are priorities in the game but offside is a priority right now.
Im sorry chippy but if thats the case then you wouldnt have an advantage law. You dont penalise every infringement you see especially if it isnt directly related to the ball carrier/ball. If you penalise every incident you are slowing the game down far more you remove continuity and reduce ball in play time. It isnt a significant failure from officials. If it was as big a concern in the game as its been this way for years then why hasnt anything been done about it in all the world rugby changes to laws, Advice to referees etc?
A referee and his team not being extremely strict on this isnt a cop out. Its game management/having a feel for the game.
It isnt a ref lacking in authority. You are showing a lack of empathy for the sport in my opinion by wanting to be as harsh on teams.
Doing that for every single ruck/breakdown when there can be 200+ tackle/rucks in games would see far too many penalties in games and would make the game even more stop start than it is and we should be going the other way not having far more involvement from officials.
No reason. Its perfect policy. A flag should be for the most serious of incidents not a few players a few steps offside. Would you want touch judges/assistants to be flagging for players going in from the side of rucks as well or what about scrum penalties?
Accept plenty in criticism of how games are refereed when the proposals/criticisms are realistic.

The aroma of chorizo and tacos filled the air Saturday morning at the fourth annual Bexar County Rodeo Breakfast, the South Side-centric event held just ahead of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo this week.
Thousands gathered — many in cowboy hats and boots — to chow down on some of the 13,000 breakfast tacos that volunteers handed out.
The sense of community was strong as Tejano tunes and country songs boomed from speakers, smoke from the cooking meat coming off grills as people strolled through the event along Pleasanton.
The rodeo breakfast comes a week after the early-morning Cowboy Breakfast, a similar event meant to tee off rodeo season in San Antonio. But Sergio Rodriguez, the Bexar County commissioner for the South Side, who first organized the event, said it was designed to bring some of the rodeo spirit from other parts of the city to the South Side neighborhood.
He and others at the event said attendance this year was up from last year, and Rodriguez said he hopes the event becomes an annual tradition for years to come.
"If you look at the crowd, we may have to go to Texas A&M," Rodriguez said, referring to the university's San Antonio campus and future rodeo breakfast events. "I didn't expect this many people."
In addition to lengthy lines for food — the longest was for barbacoa tacos and Big Red soda — the rodeo breakfast also had a petting zoo for locals to interact with an alpaca, a large turtle, a porcupine and other animals.
Most of the people there Saturday were South Side natives looking to participate in the rodeo festivities.
A contest for the best Western outfits saw one couple, who made their own dazzling cowboy clothes, win.
"We're really inspired by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, super inspired by the '50s vintage Western looks," said Kitty Taylor, who dressed up alongside her husband, Caito. The couple wore decorated green and red Western jumpsuit outfits. "We love to dress up."
Another winner was John Draeger, who wore a special red Power Ranger-themed sombrero and poncho — a last minute decision for him, he said.
"At first, I wasn't going to wear this, and then my wife was like, 'No, you should do it.' Why not?" Draeger said. "It worked out. I didn't expect to win at all."
The Stock Show & Rodeo begins Thursday and runs through Feb. 23. Visit sarodeo.com to learn more about rodeo events.

Heathrow can meet air-quality targets: chief
Heathrow airport chief executive John Holland-Kaye has expressed confidence that the gateway's operator has done enough to address pollution concerns and gain government support if it is recommended for expansion by the Airports Commission.
"We have heard very clearly where the prime minister was coming from, where local communities were concerned five years ago, and we have completely changed our plans to address those concerns," Holland-Kaye tells Flightglobal.
He adds that Heathrow can now "demonstrate we can meet climate-change targets, so we can meet air-quality targets and we have fewer people impacted by aircraft noise with expansion than today".
Last month, the Airports Commission delayed publication of its final report into its preferred choice for expansion in order to conduct an assessment into the impact on air quality of expanding either Heathrow or Gatwick. That consultation has closed with the results feeding into the final report which is due to be published this week.
Responding to media reports that the UK government is split over the desirability of expanding Heathrow, Holland-Kaye says: "All the indications I have had from them is that they are pursuing the government line."
He believes all cabinet members, bar one, have come out in support of the Airports Commission process.
"We have changed our plans to meet the needs of politicians so that they don't need to change their mind, we have changed the facts for them," he adds. "It's now easy for them to see the balance is now the right thing economically, and the right thing environmentally, for communities."
