AWD #057: Welcome to Our Fine Mess
Welcome to Our Fine Mess
Summary: Various crew members converge on the mess hall to hydrate and feed. Anderson is new aboard and gets a look at what he's getting into.
Related Logs: Day after Phin's promotion drunkening.
Mess Hall — Deck 3 — Battlestar Orion
The Crew Mess on the Orion is one of the larger rooms meant for occupation. The room is far longer than it is wide with the classic stainless steel tables that can be seen anywhere else on the ship, standard to all navy ships. Most of the chairs match, their padding on the seats worn down after several years. Towards the rear of the room is the food prep area and serving lines. During the time in between meals the Mess will serve midrats, or 'mid-shift rations', such as sandwiches and drinks. Coffee pots are left to run at all hours to keep people going as needed.
Phin is hydrating. And enjoying a fairly monster hangover. He's at a corner table with a very tall glass of water and no meal. As for the mess hall itself, it's populated by a spattering of crew, as it almost always is.
Agrippa had hydrated earlier, a lot, having done the partying shtick quite a few times when he was back at the Academy. Studied hard, partied harder, that was his class's motto back then on Caprica. Good times. He had just finished the longest Alert Five ever and is now back at the Mess Hall for more hydration and some food sa well.
Phin has been hydrating throughout the day. It's part of a process. He's also wearing aviator shades indoors. Which, despite how stupid it looks, he's not about to remove. Agrippa is spotted, and offered a raised forearm. In lieu of any more expressive waving.
Catching sight of the raised forearm, Agrippa raises his arm in return as acknowledgement before going to the line where food and drinks are served. He gets something simple, a sandwich cut in half diagonally and also a large glass of water. He adds a brownie for good measure as well before taking his tray and joining Phin at his table, "Dolly! How's your head?"
Phin just gives Agrippa a very dry double thumbs-up, as to his head. And drinks more water. "Yo, Punch. It's frakking fantastic. What the hell happened last night, anyway?" He adds. "Somebody showed me a picture of my bare ass diving in the river down on Piraeus." His own memory of this is spotty.
"Fun happened, everyone got shitfaced. Very shitfaced, and I think we found a pond or a river or something and went skinny dipping." Agrippa's own recollection wasn't that clear as he was busy battline the tequila monster in his head while partying with the rest. "I do remember carrying your heavy ass back to Viper Country though."
"That was you?" Phin offers the other Viper pilot a half-abashed grin. "Thanks. And thanks for not dropping me on the hood of a Viper or something. Dude I went to Academy with ended up on top of the flag pole after our grad parties." Drink. "Yeah, it was fun. The parts of it I can remember. Parts of it I can't quite? Also, fun. It was cool of everyone to come out like that." He sounds a little surprised that they did, even.
Laughing, Agrippa shakes his head, "If we were squadron mates or you were a bus driver instead, might've left you spread eagle on the tarmac without a stitch of clothes." At the surprise of a ton of people showing up, the Ensign nods his head in agreement, "When I heard about your promotion, I was on the last leg of my CAP, so I arrived late. Was hella surprised to see that many peple there. Guess good news is something to celebrate with extra oomph these days." Never know when someone will bite the bullet and join the Gods.
"Never know when it'll be your last chance or a party?" Phin finishes that sort of grim thought for him. "But, yeah. It was cool all the same." Drink. "How was CAP?" Not that he expects many fireworks beyond 'quiet, flew around Piraeus a few times.' The CAPs around the planet, thankfully, tend toward sedate.
Nodding his head solemnly, Agrippa takes a long drink from the glass of water before giving half of the sandwich a big bite, munching away. After chewing and swallowing, he is able to answer, "Same old, same old. Clear skies over Piraeus, if it wasn't boring, then I would've missed your party. So for once I was glad it ended without issue."
"Usually glad of that, man. 'Least out here," Phin says. "More than enough drama back in Colonial space. You getting used to it, by the way? Not just the way the Vipers aboard fly, but the ship in general?"
Nodding his head, Agrippa takes another long drink from his glass before slouching back in his seat, just lounging now as he eats, "As use to as I can be with all that's happened. I'm not sure if I'll fully get use to our new lives, but I am getting adjusted to the crew here. Different… but not in a bad way. Once we're out there flying though, it's just like being with my old mates. Partly due to the training that kicks in, but also because we fly together, or we die together."
"Yeah, the sticks and bus drivers here are solid," Phin says. After drinking some more. He'll need more water soon. "Yeah. I mean, it's not what I was expecting but…I was expecting eighteen months out in the middle of nowhere doing circles around the top-secret planet all day, every day. All the pilots who were here during the first tour used to talk about how boring it was. Well, still is out there but…in general, less than boring. Bizarre to think it's only been a few months, y'know?"
As a bit of the Orion Taskforce's past is revealed, Agrippa listens in silence, taking the time to eat and gather some information. "Well, the whole ball game has changed… no longer boring. The damn tin cans can jump us at anytime it seems, once they get the info on us. And we have a whole colonies to save. Who knows if any other parts of the Fleet are still alive."
"There's supposed to be a resistance some places. I guess part of Fleet HQ survived down on Picon," Phin says. "Or…people from it. I don't know. Everything I hear about Picon these days sounds really weird. Our Raptor drivers who died there on the last run - Peacock and Ditch - supposedly got shot down by friendly fire. Like, humans."
Nodding his head, Agrippa knows that there is a lot of confusion and lack of intel, can't be helped though when the backbone of the Colonial Navy is broken in pieces, shattered beyond repair. "But that isn't the Fleet. I finally read the reports a couple of weeks ago. Read that the majority of the Fleet became shooting stars." The Ensign then lapses back into silence, taking the time to finish the other half of the sandwich.
"Yeah, true that," Phin mutters. "Hard to count all the things that did. But, we're still flying, right?" Whatever comfort that is. It's unclear how much it gives to Phin. "Whatever's going on down on Picon, I'd like to get out there more. Help out the people holding the fort down there. At least we've got some ops coming up. More belt recons and stuff. We found some people alive when we went down to Virgon. Just a family but…it's something. Makes you wonder how many more are out there and just…scattered."
At least they are still flying and that is probably one of the things that has kept Agrippa going. If he was grounded and seeing the end of the human race approaching, he would be in a much different state today. As for helping out Picon, there is a slight nod from Punchdrunk, "I would too but that seems more like ground action. Vipers don't handle as well in atmos as they do in vacuum. Which reminds me, I should put more time into the Predator sims, a lot more time."
"I kind of like flying in atmo. Gravity gives it a different feel. You can kind of…ride it," Phin says. "But, yeah. I know what you mean, about the Preds. Yggs and I were going to put in more time in the sims, but things've been kind of nuts. Haven't been able to set aside as much for it as I'd like. I did quals for them back in flight school, but my scores weren't where they were on the Vipers. And if we get more atmo action, those'll probably be where it'll be."
"Same here, I can fly a Predator without crashing it into the side of a mountain but for me to get anywhere close to the comfort level I have with Vipers, will require a ton more hours." Predators are just atmospheric jets to Agrippa, he didn't have a hard time flying them but they were sluggish, slower. "So now you're a Lieutenant, how's the new life? Feeling more responsible and walking with a bigger swagger, Dolly?" He asks in amusement, his questions obviously asked in jest.
Ygraine arrives from the Fore Corridor.
Phin snorts, as to the swagger. "Not today. Kind of blows my mind, honestly. I mean, I had the 'Captain by thirty' delusions back when I was a Middie, but that was different. I'm pretty sure the CAG's just trying to impress upon me that I really, really shouldn't frak up." He is seated at a corner table with Agrippa. He is drinking a large glass of water and wearing aviator shades indoors. It would look really douchey if he didn't look really hung-over.
"Don't see why you would frak up, Dolly. And Captain by thirty isn't out of reach." Agrippa says as he eyes the brownie remaining on his tray, his hand on his glass of water. "I'm sure you've more than deserve it." At the moment, both Agrippa and Phin are seated at one of the tables in a mess. In front of the Ensign is a tray where an empty plate rests, a brownie is left and a glass of water as well.
Ygraine makes her way in, freckled skin pink from a recent shower. Somebody clearly has spent hours in her flight suit and needed to scrub clean once given the opportunity. She heads for the sandwiches, piling up some egg salad sandwiches and some suspiciously purple liquid.
Anderson lingers in the entrance, smiling and exchanging 'pleasantries' with a female officer assigned to medical as a nurse. Well - pleasantries is sort of mild, especially for Anderson. His face is a new one this side of sickbay. He came in on the last rescue missing to Picon. Hasn't been seen much since. "Yeah, yeah… all the time. Just catch me after your shift ends," he says to the woman, smiling and watching her walk away to a lasting gaze. She has an impressive wear to her uniform after all. God bless her tailor. However, after she turns to corridor, the slips into the Mess Hall.
"Well, there's definitely going to be more attrition now," Phin says wry, about 'Captain by 30.' "Can't say I'm hoping for that, though. Anyway. We'll see. They're just jig pins. It's not even a real lieutenant, just a few less people I have to call 'sir.'" He spots Ygraine, offering her a raised forearm-and-palm that is sort of a wave and sort of not. He probably also spots Anderson but, not knowing the guy, he's not semi-waved at.
Shaking his head, Agrippa drinks at his glass of water for now, eyeing his brownie from time to time, as if stalking it like a lion stalking its prey. "Jig pins or not, it's close enough to full Lieutenant, Dolly. Maybe Lieutenant with training wheels." Seeing his wingman waving, the Ensign turns and sees Ygraine as well, mirroring Phin's wave.
"Hey, sir." Yggy calls out in playful jeer toward Phin, and wriggles her nose at Agrippa. Turning she checks out the newcomer and notes cheerily, "New face, huh? You one of the boys we picked up on Picon?"
Anderson's greens scan the room, typical Battelstar, with a been there done that sort of look. However, you can just tell who's a stick and who isn't, so he'd note Agrippa and Phin both. The dip of his chin indicating a modicum of respect all ranks set aside. Viper Pilot isn't a joke. Right about then, he's looking towards Ygraine and he smiles in that charming fashion that guys like him, you know 'those guys' do around women. The fresh scar on his right cheek wrinkles slightly. "Yeah, Picon. Fracken rock," he says offering her both hand, and introduction at the same time. "Anderson Spade."
Phin winces at the 'sir' from Ygraine. Calling things hurts his brain. "Frak, that is surreal. Please don't. Also, hey." Agrippa earns a smirk. "Or water wings." His head turns toward Andereson with interest, when Ygraine points him out as one of the newbs from Picon. This does get Anderson a wave. It's not a super-enthusiastic wave, but he's not up to super-enthusiasm at the moment.
Ygraine extends her own hand. "Ygraine Vashti. You can call me Milkshake. Got your transfer to the battlestar processed, or ya headed back to Picon?" Ygraine then laughs at Phin's insistence that he not call her that. "Nevermind." She tugs on Anderson's shirt like she has a perfect right to, guiding him to Phin and Agrippa's table.
Hearing the sir from Ygraine, Agrippa can't help but laugh, Phin's reaction perfect, "Gonna have to get use to it, Dolly, if you want to keep up the good work you've been doing. One day, it will be 'Captain Sir!'" He can't help but tease at his wingman's promotion before turning his attention to Anderson who is one of those from Picon. While introductions are being exchanged between the new guy and Yggy, Agrippa turns his attention back to his brownie, finally sitting up from his slouched position and begins to lean over it, getting ready to jump the brownie.
"Milkshake , huh?" The remark is immediately followed by his eyes dropping to Ygraine's chest. I mean it is a logical conclusion. "Oh, Frack no. I'm not stepping on that rock again anytime soon. Gods help me, ever if I have my say, and the CAG has a good heart," Anderson says matter-of-fact. The follow up distracting him from ogling her further. Of course, no more than her pulling him along to meet the swinging 'sticks' seated in the corner. He looks them over, offering a bob of his head, and "gents," right off the bat.
"You guys are not calling me 'sir'," Phin says firmly. "Umm…that's an order. Or something." He does not sound very authoritative. He automatically kicks a chair out for Ygraine when she joins the table. And one for Anderson, too, while he's doing it. He waits until she's done with Anderson before also extending his hand to the newbie from Picon. He's a righty. "Welcome aboard, man. Phin McBride. Or Dolly, or Dolls, whatever. All works on the wireless. I fly with the Strikes."
Anderson would shake hads to Phin of course. "Anderson. Anderson Spade."
Holtz arrives from the Fore Corridor.
Ygraine rolls her eyes, but doesn't explain her call sign. With a chuckle, she notes, "Like as not the Strikes are where you're gonna end up, assumin' you're a stick too. Yep, that's Dolly - he just got his jig pins, and that's Punchie. And trust me, it's all about how ya say it. She lets go of Anderson's shirt to bend down and whisper into Dolly's ear.
Anderson's reaction to hearing Ygraine's callsign brings an amused laugh from Agrippa as it was the same exact reaction he had back in the Recovery Bay when he first met the ECO Officer. He does scoop up his brownie and takes a bite, savoring the taste of the chocolate pastry. When introductions are swung his way, Punchdrunk nods his head to Anderson, his greeting made in silence as he is chewing away at the moment.
"In the end it'll be the CAG's call. But new orders would be fracken welcome," Anderson says to Ygraine. He's still standing, back to the entrance while he chats amiably with the other three pilots. "Not much of Reaper Squadron left to go back to," he adds unfortunately. So yeah, he must indeed be a stick too.
Phin drinks more water, for his part. He's at a corner table with the rest, wearing aviator shades indoors. Which probably looks ridiculous, but also keeps down the light. Whatever Ygraine whispers to him makes him blush. Just a little. "You never listen to me," he smirks to her. Though he smiles as he says it. More seriously, he nods to Anderson. "Lots of that going around, man. We're getting a fair few transfers in here lately. I don't know. It's good to see, I guess. Means people survived out there, even if not as many as we'd like."
"This is true." Yggy conceeds the point, and then reaches out to break off a piece of Agrippa's brownie, popping it into her mouth and giving him a crumbly kiss on his cheek in exchange for her theft. She moves to take a seat and looks up at Anderson. "Why ya standin' around? Take a load off."
Taking mock affront to a piece of his brownie being stolen, Agrippa eyes Ygraine before the offense is soothed with the friendly cheek kiss. He does eventually pop the rest of it in his mouth for another mouthful before grabbing his glass of water, half full now, and lounges back in his seat, relaxing again. More chewing before speaking.
Holtz enters the mess hall, stifling a yawn with a black-gloved hand. Clad in a set of slightly rumpled blues, he makes his way over towards the hot water container and starts making himself a cup of tea. The still-burning nub of a cigarette rests on his lips; he puts it out in an ashtray on a nearby table as he finishes making his drink.
Something Phin says causes Anderson to lowers his eyes. Survivors guilt? Anger? His lips pure into a thin line for a moment, however the reaction is dismissed with military swiftness. When he looks back up, he's at ease again. His green eyes roll easily over both men, and Ygraine. "Yeah," he replies to the woman's insistence - distracted. He moves to take a seat, though he moves slowly. Obviously covering up a injury of some kind to his knee. Once sitting, he relaxes and that charismatic smile returns. "So, CAG.. any words of wisdom from the deck?"
Phin catches the lowered-eyes from Anderson, enough to look briefly abashed, at least. He shrugs and half-starts to say something else, but he just lets it lie. "Major Sheperd's a decent guy," he says, of the CAG. "Old-hat SAR driver. He usually doesn't bust your balls too much unless you've really frakked up. He'll see your set right." Hey, there's Holtz. A forearm is raised at the man in a semi-wave.
Ygraine unwraps one of her sandwiches, and espying Holtz, she lifts her hand and offers a wave as well. "And speaking of important people to know, that's Captain Holtz. Storm. He'll likey be your squadron leader, so make nice." she advises, adding, "But would ya like the best advice I can give ya about gettin' on in our air wing?" Oh, here we go, Ygraine's Chapter and Verse.
Agrippa also spots Holtz's entrance and raises a hand to wave to their Squadron Leader though there is no shouting across the Mess. Plus, he's still chewing on the brownie, long enough that he has to wash the rest down with water. He does nod in agreement with Phin's assessment of the CAG, remembering how he ran into some trouble with the man though it was more than worth it, which also earned him his first callsign.
Astute, Anderson shifts a glance over his shoulder, following Phin's gesture to Holtz. Before Ygraine even speaks, the Captain gets a respectful nod from him, then he turns back to the table. "Sure thing Freckles, lay it on me," comes his reply in an easy tone. His smile is genuine. Anderson isn't one to shy away from a fight, a woman, alcohol or information. Everything has a time and place.
The waves from the pilots' table catch Holtz' attention out of the corner of his eye, and he takes them as an invitation whether or not they were intended as such. He takes a sip from his still-steaming mug as his booted feet carry him towards where the others are sitting. "Evenin'." He greets each of them with a short nod, eyes moving around the group, lingering for a moment on the unfamiliar Anderson before he pulls up a chair. "How's tricks?" A sly look at Phin in particular. "How's your head, boyo?" Probably a reference to the party at Charlie's.
"I'm pretty sure I'm actually dead, sir," Phin deadpans to Holtz. "It's just taking awhile to kick in." His head half-tilts toward Ygraine, curious about her sage advice.
Ygraine lets out a laugh. "Make sure t'thank your ECO when they're the ones keepin' th'Raiders off your ass." she tells Anderson pointedly, and then offers, "Hey, Holtz, this is Anderson Spade. Likely he's gonna get transferred into th'Strikes."
"Evening Bossman." Agrippa greets Holtz when the larger man joins the group before glancing to Phin, smirking, "If you're dead, then you'd be in Hades and this place is too bright. Plus, I'm not that eager to pay the Ferryman to cross the damned river." He then grows quiet as introductions are made again, for Holtz this time.
"Spade, Anderson B.. Reaper Squadron, Picon and looking to transfer Cap, just like the lady said," Anderson adds, moving his chair to the left to create more room at the table. Those playing really close attention would see a little wince of pain when he stresses his knee. It should be expected. Those boys Picon took some heat. He glances back at Ygraine, chuckling softly, green eyes alight. "So not just another pretty face, eh? Wise as well." Obviously the merit of not getting blown to Frack and back isn't lost on Ltjg. Spade.
Holtz nods slowly at the introduction, raising his mug in Anderson's direction. "Kurt Holtz, Strikes lead. For the moment, anyway," he replies, returning the introduction with a tiny quirk of his lips. "Good to have ya. I'll take all the sticks I can get my hands on." The captain does catch that little wince from Anderson. "You fit to fly, Lieutenant, or're you gonna need to see the sawbones before the cockpit?" He chuckles over at Phin. "Guess we better go ahead and divvy up your shit, then, yeah?" Agrippa and Ygraine are each acknowledged with a thin smile.
Phin half-smirks at Agrippa. "Touche." He guzzles more water. "Not just yet, Storm. I think I'm reanimating. I want to keep my stuff."
Morgan arrives from the Fore Corridor.
Samtara arrives from the Fore Corridor.
"Besides," Yggy chimes in matter-of-factly, "If he dies, I get all his stuff." she smiles fleetingly at Holtz before nomming down on her egg salad sandwich. Then, she points at Anderson. "See? He thinks I'm wise. He'll get on just fine."
Anderson's got his back to the entrance, seated at a table among the others present. "Just got the all clear sir," Anderson replies to Holtz. That explains the grab-ass with the nurse in the corridor anyway. Or its /one/ explanation. "I can fly. Helluva lot more use out there than in here at any rate." He relaxes back, stretching his leg out, lest it further betray him.
More water is taken in by Agrippa as he also keeps himself hydrating, draining the rest of his glass before shooting Ygraine a protesting look, "Whoa now, why would you get all his stuff? He's one of ours, we get the majority share of his booty."
Chase leaves, heading toward the Fore Corridor [FC].
"My stuff's not that nice, guys," Phin assures the table at large. "You're going to build up your expectations and be totally disappointed." Drink. More water. Hydrating is a thing he's concentrating on. He shoves his aviator shades up onto his nose. They've fallen a notch. He is sitting at a corner table with the larger group of air wing folk.
"Gotta go with Grip on this one, Shakes. Don't exactly work that way," Holtz says to Ygraine with a wink and a wry smile. He looks over to Anderson, his expression taking on a more serious cast, but finally he nods, accepting the other pilot at his word. The captain's lips purse as he lightly blows the steam from his drink before taking another sip.
While his companion, Dr. Nadir, is busily scribbling notes in her palm-sized notebook, Morgan is serving as her eyes, walking ahead of her but close enough to prevent her from running into anything, and glancing often behind him. "I do hope that the colonel is right, and they come in relatively small batches," he worries. "We'll need to secure what supplies we can."
"No plan that includes civilians ever goes off, Lieutenant, even remotely close to the projected path," Nadir replies, making another note and reaching for the reading glasses that were tucked into one of her pockets. "The only course is to sketch out every viable bad option that could occur, draft potential avenues to address the likelihood worst case scenarios, and allow for enough flexibility in all plans to make it up on the fly." She looks up at that point, realizes that it's important to step THROUGH the hatch into the mess hall and then does so. "The stronger likelihood is that these refugees with arrive with nothing but the clothes up on their backs and what precious items they decided to keep safe, and precious little more than that. Of any given population, how many are farmers, masons, construction workers, builders of any sort? We'll have office jockeys, drones, paper pushers, mid-level management types, lawyers - by all that's logical, we'll end up with lawyers and bureaucrats and politicians, the usual sampling of religious fanatics as well as those who are just crazy enough to have survived but not crazy enough to have been smothered yet by their neighbors. So," and the ball point pen is clicked again, "coffee?"
Ygraine makes a face at both Agrippa and Holtz, twitching her nose in faux disagreeability. Which lasts of all of three seconds. "As if Phinny wouldn't fight for my stuff if I ever bought the farm." Black humor, anyone?
So maybe Anderson isn't a hundred percent? He's still ninety-nine percent better than nothing. A pilot isn't anything without his stick between his thighs, so to speak. Leg is healing nicely anyway, so long as he doesn't go frackking it up with any extracurricular activities. "So, eyeballing you Dolly I feel like I left sickbay a day late. What'd I miss?"
"Well, gang, I'm gonna go hit the sack. Early CAP tomorrow before the briefing and had Alert Five earlier. Not sure which is worse, CAP or Alert Five where /nothing/ happens." Agrippa says, apparently not enjoying having to sit inside a Viper cockpit doing absolutely nothing for an entire shift while listening to the comms of nothing happening. Slowly, the Viper pilot rises to his feet and grabs his tray. There is a pause before Punchdrunk heads to deposit the tray away, glancing back to Phin, "I wouldn't be surprised if Phin looks good in your bra and panties, Shake."
"Tooth and nail, darlin'," Phin drawls wry at Ygraine. He's good with black humor. Though he offers her a little nudge and grin as he says it, to take the edge off. To Anderson he replies, "Some…everyone bought me a lot of shots. And now…everyone seems to have incriminating photos of me. The swimming's choice down on Piraeus if you get a chance to do it, though. I think. I vaguely remember it being choice." Agrippa is snorted at. "That's why they call me Dolls. Later, man. Thanks again for the lift last night." He turns his head a the new entrants to the mess hall. Samtara gets a polite, "Hey, Doc."
"I'd go with Alert Five," Holtz replies helpfully to Agrippa. "At least on CAP you're doin' something." He lifts his mug in salute. "Night, Ensign." There's a snort at the mention of the swimming on Piraeus. "Wouldn't exactly call 'em incriminating, Dolls," he deadpans. "Now, if someone'd brought a camera down to the river, on the other hand… now that's the stuff blackmail is made of." Grin. He pauses long enough to wave silently at Samtara and Morgan as he drinks his tea.
"Aye," Morgan confirms with a nod to Samtara when she predicts the high probability that the first wave will be the ones who are least ready to cope with their new home. "We'll have our hands full. I've no doubt about that. They'll have just enough clout to gain first passage, and as soon as they find that we don't have all of the comforts of home waiting, they'll howl like wolves." He shrugs. "They'll sink or swim." He glances around the room, and nods to the pilots grouped around their table, and waves back to Holtz before he looks to the chow-line. "Coffee /and/ some food. That was the agreement," he reminds Samtara with a grin.
Punchdrunk was offered a nod, then Oooo a doctor. That isn't good. Hopefully she wasn't /his/ doctor. Phin alerting him to a doc on deck causes Anderson to sink in his chair a little - hopeful. Completely, moderately, aw hell they all end in medically fit don't they? He glances back subtly, a calm settling over him when he see Dr. Nadir and Morgan. Nope, not the sawbones he had (assuming there is more than one aboard). "Hate I missed it," he says turning his full attention back to Phin, Ygraine and Holtz. "Haven't had an opportunity to tie a good one on in way to long."
"It's only compromising if there's somethin' to be ashamed of." Ygraine beams. "I ain't got nothin' t'be ashamed of." She grins then, casting an innocent look Holtz-wards.
"They've got an actual bar down on the planet," Phin says to Anderson. "Not bad, either, for what it is. We should celebrate your intro to the Wing, once your get your assignment done properly. I will be…drinking less. But, y'know, more for you."
Nadir exchanges a nod with the Lt. McBride, "Lieutenant, whose call sign is Dolly though I still don't quite understand why," she remarks in a quieter aside to Morgan before nodding then at Ygraine, "this one is Milkshake, also known as Ensign Vashti," she nods a greeting then towards the Captain, "Sir," whose call sign she does not know but imagines that it's just as situation-specific to have earned it at the rest.
Holtz shoots a lascivious wink back in Ygraine's direction. "It's a dump," he says sardonically at the mention of Charlie's. "But it's our dump. And after a round or three, you don't even notice." More tea goes down the hatch. It's cool enough now to gulp as opposed to sip.
Anderson was a patient, that came in from Picon. His mild concussion is all better. The scar on his cheek, healing nicely. The persistent knee injury from too much Pyramid, aggregated. However, he's staying off it as much as possible, and managed to brute force, and flirt his way through the last assessment his nurse gave him. Never let it said a man can't bat his eyelashes. "Oh, now cutting it up in an actual bar sounds exactly like my kind of night, Dolly. I'm down for that. Provided the CAG pushes the orders through." He quiets some as the others arrive at the table. Especially the Doc. He has one of those 'This is not the Viper Pilot you're looking for' Jedi mind trick expressions.
Morgan says, "Dolly, Milkshake, Sir," Morgan greets the pilots in turn, giving each a respectful nod. "Lieutneant Morgan," he introduces himself. "I heard about the flying, and the party that it earned. That's quite a haul. How's chow?" he glances toward the counter, but quickly returns his attention to the pilots and Samtara."
"Dolly, Milkshake, Sir," Morgan greets the pilots in turn, giving each a respectful nod. "Lieutneant Morgan," he introduces himself. "I heard about the flying, and the party that it earned. That's quite a haul. How's chow?" he glances toward the counter, but quickly returns his attention to the pilots and Samtara.
"Hey, Doc!" Ygraine calls out in greeting, and then notes in a hushed tone to Anderson, "Might want t'downplay the knee while the doc is around. She's hardcore."
"It's like my name, sir," Phin replies promptly, to Samtara's question about his callsign. "Phin. Dol-phin. Makes total sense." That manages to sound less true every time he tells someone it. A nod to Morgan. "Good to meet you, L-T. Chow's…umm." He can't really speak to it at the moment. Though that does remind him. "I need coffee. To go, I think. I'll see you guys later. And totally, dude." That last with a point to Anderon, about venturing to the actual bar.
Anderson fixes Ygraine with a look, one of the looks that could totally peal the paint back off her Raptor. "Naughty, Milkshake. Very naughty." Obviously no hard feelings though, cause at length he smirks, and turns in his chair to face Samtara, and Morgan. "Evening Doc, LT. Anderson Spade." He makes the introduction with polite respectfulness. Arrogant certainly, stupid enough to test just how hardcore the doctor is - nope.
A glance around the room and her attention lingers upon the 'guilty but don't look at me' expression on Anderson's face. Though, to be fair, she doesn't name him by face but by the injury that he's trying to pull all innocent face about. "It does make sense, but a lot of them don't. Why Milkshake?" she wonders. "Or there's one of your group called 'Crater', I believe. Of all the things, the word 'Crater' implies inappropriate contact with the surface of a planet resulting in a rather bad day for surface tension and landing struts. How is 'Crater' a good call sign?" asked as she acquires a cup of coffee. "It'd be like calling a surgeon 'Gangrene' or 'Tetanus'."
"Captain Holtz," comes the introduction, Holtz addressing Morgan and Sam. "Storm." That's his callsign. He drains the last of his tea, and then rises not long after Phin does. "Hate to bail, but I got CAP tomorrow too, bright an' early. Probably gonna grab a shower here and rack out." He sets his unbuttoned blues jacket to rights as he rises to his feet, though he pauses. "Ain't like that at all, Doc," he says to Samtara with a shake of the head. "Be damned if I can explain how, but… it just ain't, is all."
Ygraine looks over. "Milkshake, because I'm a milk maid." the woman in question grins. "Grew up on a dairy farm, y'see." Aha, the mystery revealed. She looks up at Holtz from her seat, apparently not ready to crash yet. "Later, Storm." Her brows lift faintly.
"Oh yeah. CAP's early tomorrow." Phin forgoes the coffee, and just gets another water, to go. "Rack sounds like a thing worth doing, though." He adds a parting "Later" all around. And off he goes.
"Sniper," Anderson intones since everyone seems to be giving it up. "My callsign is Sniper." He purses his lips, nodding casually to Holtz when the Captain rises. "Look forward to working for ya' Cap." He smiles towards Phin then, and chuckles, "Hey no backing out on the barhop, Dolly."

"It's a League of the Stars": Steve Nash reacts to blockbuster James Harden, which brings him along with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. sport
Steve Nash went to the square commenting on James Harden's acquisition of the Nets from the Rockets after a lengthy trade saga.
The Nets are starting the season 7-6, beating the all-time rival, the New York Knights, tonight 116-109. He also added James Harden to his team after one of the biggest trades of the century. They now have as much star power as any team.
The Nets are now truly favorites to exit the Eastern Conference, no matter what their contestants step into. It is his offensive strength that he has 3 players who can completely destroy any defense on any given night.

James Harden is the league's best playmaker so far this season. He has to give a ton of touch to run an effective offense together with KD and Kyari. But fans like us are drooling at the prospect of seeing the world's 3 best Iso players in the same team.
Steve Nash reacts silently to the James Harden trade
One would think that acquiring all-time great offensive talent like James Harden would add to the enthusiasm of a cheating head coach. But Steve Nash is unlike most of the rookie head coaches, who won several MVP trophies as their entire squad.
Nash downplayed Harden's importance in the team, but he called the NBA a 'Star League'. And it's true, top-heavy teams have won all championships through the course of NBA history. But the net also has significant wing depth. He now needs a defensive-minded center to replace Jarrat Allen.
Steve Nash says he cannot comment on the pending James Harden trade, but says, "This is a Star League." She further states that she is a curious person, and is excited to continue learning at work.

In the coming weeks, Nash will also be hoping that his point guard – Kyrie Irving – returns to the field at the start of the season. The Nets have insurance for their absence, but they wouldn't really be favorites without the Big Three to take on LeBron James and Eddie.

Create a beautiful collage inspired by the colourful work of artist Piet Mondrian!
We are thrilled to be joining forces with Red Ted Art, Imagination Soup, Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas , Creative With Kids and Tinkerlab on a new, bi-monthly art activity celebration. Kids Get Arty will celebrate the work of real artists in all media, and each time we will choose a different artist to be inspired by with our children!
I'm particularly excited to begin this new series as before I studied education I did a degree in Art History so I have a special interest in art! I also devised an art curriculum for 4-11 year olds and taught art to primary aged children and I've been itching to begin again! Cakie is just about ready to be interested and able enough- wonderful!
This month we have chosen the artist Piet Mondrian, a Dutch artist from the early 20th Century who is famous for his bold, grid like paintings in primary colours, on a white background. He termed these Neo-Plasticism and they became his "signature art". I though these would be a fun launch pad for exploring art with Cakie (now 3 and a half) as they present opportunities to discuss primary colours, shapes and pattern.
We looked at a range of his paintings on the internet and in some of my art books before deciding what we would try and make together.
Cakie painted some thin pieces of cardboard using the primary colours red, yellow and blue, and left them to dry overnight.
Then I started to cut out some simple rectangular and square shapes for her and she was keen to have a go herself, which she managed surprisingly well.
I gave her an A4 piece of white card and talked about the black grid pattern on Mondrian's work. I drew some lines using a thick black pen and a ruler and again, she was keen to try for herself and have a go.
Then she arranged the pieces of painted cardboard over the grid, creating her own pattern and design. She noticed that Mondrian left some of his spaces white and did the same.
We talked about the shapes that we used and how rectangles can be stretched long and thin or short and small. We also compared squares and rectangles and talked about the length of the 4 sides on each shape.
The finished masterpiece! She has since gone back to it and added some more, smaller shapes and also a yellow ribbon bow that she found, right on top of one of the blue sections! It actually looks quite arty!
Please take a moment to browse the other wonderful ideas linked up below and also feel free to link up any art work that has been inspired by the work of real artists!
Matisse Art in the Bath Tub!
Anna – I just KNEW your post would be brilliant! I love love love this. Fantastic.
So pleased to have you co-hosting Kids Get Arty! I think this will become a brilliant resource!
This is brilliant!! Love the Collage idea.
This project is so well thought out, Anna. Totally age appropriate, wonderful talking points, and Cakie really understood the ideas behind Mondrian's art through the execution. I thought about setting up a Mondrian project as well, and will now take my cue from you!
I love this! A great process and the final art piece is beautiful too!
Great project! I was a director at a daycare. I had a very creative and talented preschool teacher who did this very same project with the three- and four-year old classes. IT was a HUGE success!!! Her name is Maria Smith. She is studying at Rutgers, NJ to teach art education.
My kids and I love Piet Mondrian's art! Just like how we love yongzheng porcelain art!
Contemporary furniture los angeles should have this now. The designs are interesting and at the very artistic. Kid's will surely love this.
A good idea for curtains perth. We wanted to try different home decor with a touch of "creativeness" and this is what I'm looking for.

Hebrew Voices #25 – A Sober Purim in Jerusalem (Rebroadcast)
Posted on March 8, 2017 by Nehemia Gordon
In this episode of Hebrew Voices, A Sober Purim in Jerusalem, Nehemia visits with Rabbi "Big" Mike Gondelman to learn about the Jewish approach to treating alcoholism. The conversation opens with profound insights into the character of the Persian King Ahasuerus whose alcohol-driven binges nearly resulted in the total annihilation of the Jewish People. After hearing this interview, you will never look at Purim, alcoholism, or Alcoholics Anonymous the same way again.

You claim "After hearing this interview, you will never look at Purim, alcoholism, or Alcoholics Anonymous the same way again."
If we can simplify those nouns by using ONLY the term 'alcohol,' this can't be further from the truth. In terms of the Tanakh, I've yet to find anything that actually promotes drinking or points to it's benefits. At best, you can make the case that God tolerates it, but that's not the same as instituting the practice, attesting to it's benefits or endorsing it.
As a side note, God reluctantly allowed A WHOLE LOT concerning His people including the anointing of a physical king, the institution of a split kingdom, and the rule of Solomon, who succumbed to the idolatry of his strange wives BIG TIME. I can't imagine anyone claiming that these examples were manifestations of God's desire and plan for his people–rather, they ran counter to God's promises.
With all that is presented in the Tanakh, the use of alcohol fits the same bill. It's just one more thing, practice, addiction, diversion (in short, IDOL) that separates one from God. The need for ANYTHING other than God to make one's life complete is by definition a spiritual deficiency, as the video implies.

Great interview. Thanks for your work Big Mike
I can relate to the blackout drunk. Years ago I had a drinking problem that just got worse with time. Eventually there came a point where within a two week period I drank so much I passed out, unable to recall anything. One night I had my bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label opened with no glass to pour it in, I was getting ready to be whiskey bent drunk.
But I guess I had what you could say was a moment of clarity. I don't know if anyone can relate when say this. But I heard words as clear as day which said "if you drink you will not wake-up again". Boy oh boy was I sore afraid, I feared for my life realizing for the first time I was basically preparing to comit suicide if I drank this.
I picked up the bottle smelled the whiskey and it was awful. I wanted too, heck back then a bottle of Blue Label was 120 dollars! But those words haunted me. I gave up and dropped to my knees pleading to God. What happened next was weird, I sensed relief, as if it was suddenly over, I stopped crying. Then this incredible fear hit me again I thought something was inside the room with me, looking at me and it was mighty angry.
Silly me, I ran, searched for my bible blew the dust off of it and just opened it. I came right to Proverbs 3 comforted I had the sweetest nights sleep I ever had in my life. Though the journey of knowing who God is and his Torah took a much longer.
Now over the years since, I have on rare occasion had a beer in a social atmosphere. But I just don't see alcohol as a temptation or blame the circumstances in my life as an excuse for a 'need' to drink like I did before. My view on alcohol has completely changed, its just not something I want or need to do anymore nor do I feel that I should when one is offered.
In the military I was taught the only thing which determines if one succeeds or gives up is a conscience decision. Its always been up to me. There is no doubt in my military mind though that I needed help to realize that and how I was destroying myself by drinking like I was. Hearing in my ear "drink this and you will not wake-up again " was enough to motivate me.
Btw, I emptied that bottle into the toilet and flushed it down.

Mr. Methodist does not speak for all Christians and all Christianity. Some Christians do smoke and drink; depends on one's religious dogma. It is best obviously for health not to.
Mona on March 9, 2017 at 8:21 am said:
If your dogma differs from the Torah it is sin, therefore is wrong.
Nehemia; I have appreciated all your Torah programs and hope you continue. I find what Israel and Jewish people need to get out to the world is more real life interviews like this one. Ugly politics, wars, fights always get the news attenton – we all need to hear of a wonderful transformation in a persons life, like Big Mike, and Sober House. Good loving family cures many ills. G-d Bless Many US ills are due to broken down families. HaShem meant for us to be in bible lead family; not necessarily religion.

IN REFERENCE TO THE BOOK OF ESTHER….
it is not clear to me as to who assembled the books of the bible….and I know a lot of pain staking effort was made in it's
assembly……nevertheless…I would like to throw a wrench into the machinery…..
I once heard that during its assembly it was discovered that there were enemies present during it's assembly….called jesuits….which brought to question the many books assembled within it….as a result….many books that were
once included in the bible were kicked out…
but later when the dead sea scrolls were discovered….they found that every book in the torah…was present in the dead sea
scrolls…except for one book..and that book was the book of esther….strangely after reexamining the book of esther….it is a
very strange book unlike any other book….it never mentions god….or any of his commandments…or the prophets….neither is
there any reference to it by any of the prophets or even the new testament…..but instead it seems to get the reader to focus on
a woman particularly a queen and her power and influence…so as to cause worship of the character……whose name resembles that
of easter….ishtar…ishtarte….
as well the way it is written is written like someone who is trying to give an aura pretentiousness….trying to make it sound as
if some higher power wrote it….but by simply reading it….it has become clear that this book is no way genuine….it is also
clear to me that when the other books were kicked out of the original cannon…..they overlooked this book…my conclusion is that
this book does not belong in the cannon…as well…what is also very strange is that now there are other strange observances born
out from this book….that also have no bearing or references to the torah whatsoever….these odd traditions and observances are
never mentioned in the original 5 books of moses….again it has become very clear to me that this book should have never been
included in the cannon….and niether should any of the offspring traditional observances from this book be observed…..
this book and any of its observances are totally irrelevant to me…and should never be considered part of any conversation unless
the truth of it's origin is being questioned….otherwise I see no reason to even mention the validity of this book………
perhaps you could look further into this book and tell me what you think…..
Emmanuel P on March 17, 2016 at 12:11 pm said:
Thank you so much for putting this episode up. Alcoholism and drug addiction are topics which continue to have a huge stigma in the Jewish community. Few synagogues open their doors to 12 step fellowships. Wine is such a integral part of our culture and there is a sadly persistent myth that addiction is "not Jewish" …the idea of "The shikkur (drunkard) is a goy" followed us out of the shtetl and into American life even though addiction is present even in orthodox communities.
I encourage any Jew struggling with addiction to please get involved with Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous as soon as you can. You can't do it alone and you don't have to. With G-ds help it is possible to recover. Please check out my website that details my own recovery with Heroin addiction http://shikkur-yid.blogspot.com/
Thank you, Emannuel, for sharing your blog. May HaShem bring each of my beloved ones out of addiction in their own unique way, and may He bless you uniquely this week!

Many main stream Christian groups such as Baptist are not aware that the non- drinking goes back to Carrie Nation and American Prohibition period.Where as before they would engage in drinking.

Programs like this always work best with those who have the desire to stop whatever their doing, drugs or alcohol. Twisting a persons arm doesn't have lasting results.

Farlands Newsletter – June 7th 2017 – Commissar Doggo, Next Video, and more
I decided instead of text newsletters I will do video ones to make sure that there are regular updates on the channel. So this is the first one 🙂

Farlands Newsletter – 26.05.2017 – DevGamm, Next Video, and more
Hey all. So last weekend I got back from DevGamm Moscow 2017, which is why there was no newsletter last Friday (which, to be fair, was chosen absolutely arbitrarily as the newsletter day just because I happened to post the first one on a Friday). The conference was very cool, met some very nice people and listened to some cool talks. I think my own presentation went very well considering that I was absolutely calm until the very second I started speaking infront of the crowd. I guess this means that 7-8 years of dancing might remove fear of stage, but not anxiety to talk. At any rate, the conference is over, which means…
Next Video – Characterization Through Mechanics
This week I've started working on new video! The topic is characterization through mechanics, mostly on the example of Thomas Was Alone. The script is already written, all that's left is to edit it and record and make the video itself… so quite a bit, but hopefully at some point next week it will be done.
I haven't had a lot of time to play since last newsletter, but I did check out some games. One of them was the first Darksiders (Warmastered Edition to be precise). I had both Darksiders games for a long time but never had played them, and the recent announcement of Darksiders 3 has inspired me to actually go through them. So far I enjoy it quite a bit, and can see where the Legend of Zelda comparisons come from. Will talk more when I finish it or get close to finishing it.
I also started playing and almost completed Arkham Knight. It's… it's engaging enough that I played several long sessions so far, but the game is problematic.
Problem #1 – Batmobile. More precisely the frequent tank battles and the desire to create arbitrary obstacles to use batmobile with. For movement it's absolutely fine, but by the end of the game the battle portions with batmobile get so tiresome. 'He's got a Rattler!' or variations of it is a phrase that I heard just so. Many. Times.
Problem #2 – The notion that the games takes place all in one night. It worked for Asylum, was pretty stretched but still worked in City, but in Knight it's just not feasible and that removes from immersion.
Problem #3 – Fake stakes. The whole narrative rests on the concept that there's just too much shit for Batman to handle, and that's how Scarecrow wants to break him. The problem is, even though the game tries to show that there's dilemmas going on, 'oh who will you go save, Catwoman or Barbara?', 'While you were chasing me how many crimes there were that you didn't stop?', etc., there's no actual choice because you can do everything in the game.
Problem #4 – Indoor level design. There's very few of proper indoor levels, and they're not very big. So we have a bunch of gadgets that we rarely use (for example Line Launcher that's available from the start of the game, I think I used it about… 10 times at most), but the indoor content is not as expansive as it was in Arkham Asylum or Arkham City. Most of the things are happening outdoors.
Problem #5 – The titular Arkham Knight. It's… let's just say there was a lot of awesome build-up that didn't amount to anything really.

Farlands Newsletter – 05.05.2017
Welcome to the first Farlands weekly newsletter where I'll write about what's been happening with the project and me in general.
So I've been playing quite a bit of Ocarina of Time recently. For the first time. In fact, this is my first Legend of Zelda experience ever. It's surprising how one can play thousands of video games and still never experience some classics.
I've enjoyed the beginning quite a lot. The whole young Link section has some excellent world-building, as well as very cool design decisions. And the dungeons have good difficulty ramp up.
For me, however, the game started falling apart a bit in the Adult Link section. There's a number of design decisions that lead to frustration. For example, Forest Temple has a chain of locked doors one after another, I think there's four in total. So many locked doors in a row make exploration quite a chore, honestly.
Fire Temple is much better in that regard, however the way we get the Fire Tunic makes absolutely no sense. We need to stop a rolling goron in the Goron City with a bomb. There's a similar situation when we play as Young Link, and if we do that we get a bomb pouch. So you don't expect this other rolling goron so important, especially considering that it's clear that you need to go somewhere in the Death Mountain crater anyway.
These are just some of the frustrations I've met, there were more, and by the time I got to the infamous Water Temple, the act of taking Iron Boots on and off really just made me quit. And it's a shame, because I think the game is good, exemplary even in a lot of areas, but it feels like the development through the Adult Link section was either rushed or not playtested as much as the Young Link section.
Mentioning Ocarina of Time is very relevant, as currently I am working on the script regarding its current reputation as the best game ever, and the implications of that fact. I have noticed that topics along these lines can be considered touchy among gamer population, but I hope that, with me being constructive and respectful, there's not going to be any pointless controversy risen, but a healthy discussion.
I also would like to note that this topic came to my mind while I was still playing the Young Link section before the frustrations of the Adult Link part started adding up, so that didn't have any effect. I would just like to make that clear.
Hopefully the video is gonna be released next week, but might be later depending on my schedule.
I started playing BioShock two times, and for some reason I'd always abandon the game after reaching Arcadia. However, recently I started playing BioShock for the third time, the Remastered version, and now I finally got further than Arcadia, beaten Fort Frolic recently. And… while I do want to keep going, I don't know.
Even back in 2007, I didn't really understand BioShock's reputation as a game with absolutely masterful storytelling and narrative, and still don't. It's true that I didn't get to the twist back then which got spoiled for me, but even knowing it and that it's coming… I don't know.
It's a great game! It's tense, suspenseful, the world-building is amazing, level design is great. But does it have masterful narrative as a whole? Eh, I don't know. Maybe I'll change my mind once I get further into the game.
But let's even take Fort Frolic. It's a section that doesn't have anything to do with the main conflict, literally puts you out of it and blocks from even listening to the other characters until you complete it. People call it the greatest BioShock level, and on its own merits I agree, the level is amazing, but I can't get rid of the feeling of just being ripped out of the whole narrative to just do something absolutely unrelated, even though Cohen is a very interesting character.
Courtesy of PS+, I played through ABZU. It was an enjoyable meditative experience that I recommend to everyone, however it feels like it tried to emulate Journey too much. And I don't mean the art style (the game's creator is Journey's art director, so that makes sense… plus the art style is very cool), but the overall experience.
ABZU is trying to pull the same strings in players that Journey does, and just like Journey its narrative and level design/progression are fully based on the monomyth, but for me it wasn't as emotional as Journey. Still a great game, though!
Another game I'm playing thanks to PS+ and enjoying quite a lot. I'm just two episodes in and I'm really interested to see where it all goes. Episode 1 was pretty fine, but Episode 2 is the one that sealed the deal for me to keep playing. And I gotta say, this TellTale series is worth playing just for the masterfully done intro sequences alone, they're amazing.
So this is all I have to say this week. Thanks for your time! Feel free to leave any comments below. If you'd like to keep an eye on my future blog posts, feel free to follow me on Twitter @farlander1991 🙂

Iowa's only permanent Renaissance Faire village, hosted at Sleepy Hollow Sports Park in Des Moines, IA.
The Renaissance Faire at Sleepy Hollow has a few policies about what you may and may not bring on the festival grounds. Please review those listed below to be sure you don't break important rules without realizing it. Thank you!
Pets are welcome at the Renaissance Faire at Sleepy Hollow! Please limit one animal companion per person.
Pet owners are required to clean up after their pets and dispose of waste in the designated receptacles.
All animals must have proof of rabies vaccinations within 3yrs (tags are sufficient).
All pets must be leashed and under complete control at all times.
Leashes may not exceed 4 ft.
Aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.
Pet owners are required to report any accident to the Fair Management personnel immediately.
The Renaissance Faire officials retain the right to refuse entrance to any pet considered dangerous or potentially dangerous.
Each pet owner must sign a hold harmless agreement, releasing the Renaissance Faire and the cities of Des Moines and Pleasant Hill for pet owner's negligence.
If the pet owner fails to adhere to the aforementioned rules he/she may be requested to leave the Faire grounds without a refund.
All patrons must be at least 18 years to carry a weapon on site.
Weapons may NOT be drawn at any time. If a weapon is drawn, the patron is subject to (but not limited to) loss of weapon, removal from the Renaissance Faire property and possible prosecution by the City of Des Moines.
If a patron wishes to use a weapon for a special event (such as a wedding) this must be cleared in advance with the Renaissance Faire officials including Sleepy Hollow President, Rick Flatt.
These policies apply to anyone carrying a weapon in with them or anyone purchasing a weapon while at the Faire.
Swords, Knives, Dirks & Daggers – These weapons must be completely sheathed and peace-tied and may not be accessible to the public.
Axes, Claymores & Maces are strongly discouraged.
Claymores and Maces must be peace-tied to your person (strapped to your back, tied to your belt, etc).
Bow & Arrows – Bows must be unstrung and arrows tied to the quiver unless approved for use at the archery range.
Sheath – a protective covering, usually of thick leather that protects the edge of the blade, the wearer and anyone near the weapon from damage. The sheath must cover the entire blade, not just the tip.
Peace-tied – the method of securing a weapon to the sheath, belt or body of the wearer. If the weapon is not peace-tied upon arrival at the Faire a front gate worker must peace-tie it for you.
Alcohol may not be brought onto the premises but may be purchased at the Faire.
Shirt and shoes are required for all guests at all times. Dressing in Renaissance garb is not required, but is certainly allowed (and even encouraged)!
Our parking fee covers patrolled parking, staffed by Sleepy Hollow personnel. However, we are not responsible for any lost or stolen items left in your car or brought in to the event. If personal items are lost on the Faire Grounds you can visit the front gate before you leave in case they were turned in, Or you can call Sleepy Hollow at (515) 262-4100 and the staff will do their best to find it.

Have a blessed Feast of Dedication!!
In this season of cleaning, scouring and rededication... What are we cleaning?? We aren't cleaning the outside, the appearance of cleanness won't cut it. We are looking at the INWARD parts. Because we will stand before His Holy throne for judgement one day.
I want to hear, "Well done faithful servant."
For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Then the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness."
Remember WE are the church. And we NEED to be cleaning ourselves, our homes, and our fellowships. Do not let the enemy have any ground.
First, we start by looking at ourself. We cannot see, and have no integrity telling others to clean up their lives, when we are walking in and harboring sin.
Second, we must guard and clean our homes. Our marriages, our children, anyone in our care must be carefully guarded over. We cannot gain more territory if we are losing our home ground. We cannot grow the family of YHWH if we are throwing aside our God given responsibility in our family.
Third, we must righteously judge and root out evil in the midst of the assembly. The enemy cannot be allowed to speak freely in our fellowships. Leading the youth, private counselors, music ministries, various prayer groups. These are wonderful things when led by the spirit of YHWH and constrained by His law. But when the enemy infiltrates it destroys the foundations and starts picking off our members unchecked.
I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Consider this day what sins, including heart sins, are still in each of us individually today. Selfishness, greed, not being a joyful giver, fearful and not trusting. And we need to be truly honest if we are not keeping the law to the best of our abilities. Are we setting aside the Sabbath? Are we wearing our tassels? Are we keeping the feasts? Are we studying the word and taking it in like food and water? Are we praying for YHWHs perspective, wisdom and guidance? Are we seeking His will to be done?
Today, root out YOU. I don't expect we'll finish today. But today I say, I must be cleaned out, I must submit.

A pioneering African-American Kingston cop and onetime police commissioner will be honored with a ceremonial street renaming and a plaque at KPD headquarters. The recognition of Junious "Junie" Harris II, who died last year at the age of 86, follows a campaign by his grandson to honor his grandfather's legacy and long list of civic accomplishments.
On Tuesday, April 2 the Kingston Common Council voted unanimously to add signage designating Furnace Street "Junious Harris Way." Harris lived on Furnace Street for 52 years. Even when he wasn't walking the beat, Harris served as a stabilizing presence in one of the city's toughest neighborhoods.
Harris graduated from Kingston High School in 1951, joined the Air Force and served in Okinawa during the Korean War. There, Anthony Harris said, he defied military custom that relegated black airmen to working in the kitchen. His pioneering spirit continued when he returned to his hometown. In the early 1960s, he became one of Kingston's first black police officers. Over the course of his three decades-long career at the KPD, Harris helped organize the Kingston Patrolman's Association and served on the board of the Kingston Boys Club. In 1976, he helped found the Kingston Police Athletic League and organized PAL-sponsored boxing matches featuring big-name talent like Floyd Patterson and Harris' neighbor, WBC junior welterweight champion Billy Costello.
Officer Harris writes a ticket.
Throughout his career, Anthony Harris said, his grandfather sought to break down barriers for minority youth in law enforcement. While working as a KPD detective, he headed up an initiative by former chief James Riggins to recruit black police officers. Later, when he left the KPD to work as a special investigator for the Ulster County District Attorney's Office, Harris set up an internship program for minority youth interested in the law and served on the criminal justice advisory committee of Ulster BOCES. All the while, Anthony Harris said, his grandfather served as a source of front-porch wisdom for residents of Midtown Kingston.
Anthony Harris has spent the past few years raising money and lobbying city officials to honor his grandfather's legacy. In addition to the street renaming, Harris raised money for a memorial plaque at Kingston police headquarters on Garraghan Drive, and to endow an annual scholarship program for minority youth at Kingston High School interested in a career in law enforcement.
Furnace Street borders the Kingston Library parking lot on the south side.
Furnace Street is the best name for any roadway in the whole City of Kingston. It is highly identifiable, memorable and historic. If they rename Furnace Street, it's to their loss, not mine.
If they want to give this guy a street to put his name on, why not something Main Street, Broadway; anything but Furnace Street.

Home Titanic Survivors Mr Frank Archibald Robert Mason

Mr Frank Archibald Robert Mason (Fireman) was born in Southampton, Hampshire, England on 10 April 1880.
He was the son of John Mason (1843-1919), a dock labourer, and Elizabeth Dawson (1842-1903), both natives of Southampton who had married in 1866. His known siblings were: John Harry (1866-1900), Sarah Jane (b. 1869), Alfred Edward (b. 1871), Richard Ernest (1876-1950), George Sellence (1878-1932) and Thomas William (b. 1884).
Frank first appears on the 1881 census living with his family at 5 Birmingham Street, Southampton. The family were shown on the 1891 and 1901 census records living at 6 Chandos Street, Southampton but Frank would be absent from the latter record, presumably at sea.
He was married in the latter months of 1910 to Ruth Cooper (b. 1888), also a native of Southampton and the 1911 census shows the freshly married couple living at 20 Nelson Street, Frank's occupation given as a fireman for the White Star Line. Their daughter Elizabeth Ruth was born later that year on 17 August.
When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 6 April 1912, Mason gave his address as 30a Waverly Road, (Southampton). He had transferred from the Oruba and as a fireman he received monthly wages of £6.
Mason survived the sinking. Some accounts have him escaping atop collapsible B but some sources believe it is more likely that he escaped in lifeboats 3 or 9.
He later returned to England and continued to work at sea into the 1920s and beyond. He and his wife would have another child, a daughter named Gwendoline Iris (b. 30 October 1922) and at the time her birth certificate listed him as a 'Boiler (Ship Yard)" and gave their home address as 43a Orchard Lane, Southampton.
Frank Mason died in Southampton in February 1953 aged 72. He is buried in Hollybrook cemetery Southampton (section E 1, plot 21) in an unmarked grave. His widow Ruth later died 8 May 1958.
Both his daughters remained resident of Southampton; Elizabeth (later Mrs Reginald H. Williams) died in 1996 and Gwendoline, later known as Mary (and later Mrs Peter McQuillan) died in 2001.
Birthdate as per CR10 identity card from circa 1919 His birth was registered in Southampton in Jun 1880 (2c/28). Other sources (public family trees etc.) give a birth date of 28 February 1880.

Comedian Hari Kondabolu on his thought-provoking documentary, which examines the troubling life and legacy of Hank Azaria's Simpsons staple.
Kondabolu, a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and filmmaker, digs deep into why Apu matters in his new documentary, The Problem with Apu, which airs on TruTV November 19. The movie examines the character's origins, as well as the shadow he's cast over people of South Asian descent, especially American-born twenty- and thirtysomethings like Kondabolu—people who grew up in a culture that offered few South Asian examples beyond Apu.
Kondabolu's documentary originated as a piece he performed as a writer on W. Kamau Bell's Totally Biased in 2012, after Bell asked Kondabolu to write something about Indian representation in the pop culture. Initially, Kondabolu was reluctant because he thought the issue was stale. But Bell made a point that resonated with him: "Kamau said, 'You and your community have talked about this for so many years that you think this is a thing everybody knows. But nobody has thought about this. Nobody's talked about it—and a South Asian person certainly hasn't talked about it,'" he remembers. Then Bell told him, "If you don't do this, I will fire you." He was joking, but Kondabolu did the segment anyway.
The piece ended up going viral. According to Kondabolu, teachers still use the video to teach high school and college students about stereotypes. "I think it clearly resonated, and the thing in particular that really resonated was the Apu part," he says.
As a kid, Kondabolu didn't have a Mindy Kaling or an Aziz Ansari or a Kal Penn to look up to—and neither did Kaling, Ansari, or Penn themselves. For much of film and TV history, South Asian characters were rare; when they appeared at all, they were often played by white performers in brownface, like Peter Sellers as the bumbling Indian actor Hrundi V. Bakshi in the 1968 comedy The Party.
The show's portrayal of Apu—a thickly accented convenience-store owner—didn't just affect Kondabolu. As the many Indian actors, voice artists, and others whom he interviews in The Problem with Apu agree, it made life difficult for them, too. For example: in nearly 30 years of The Simpsons, Apu has only said, "Thank you. Come again," eight times. But nearly each person interviewed said that this phrase was used to mock them when they were growing up.
Another story line throughout the film is Kondabolu's furtive quest—à la Michael Moore's Roger & Me—to get Azaria himself to participate in the doc. Although Azaria ultimately decided not to appear, he did tell Kondabolu, in an e-mail, "I think what you're doing is great." Still, Kondabolu wants to have a conversation with Azaria in a public forum. "I think that would be really useful for people," he says.
