The Nature of Mana and Mortal Magic
Realms of Kar'Kaish :: Realms of Kar'Kaish Roleplaying :: The Magic and the Divine
The Nature of Mana
When existence was created, an omnipotent, omnipresent form of energy was among the first forms of creation itself. Although this energy was once inherent to both the corporeal and spectral planes, most energy was eventually drained from the spectral, resulting in the spectral plane's condition. The Elder Gods who inhabited the corporeal plane were given complete power over the energy, known as mana. Using mana and elemental power seeping through the astral plane, the Elder Gods were able to shape existence as they desired, forming the universe.
Mana has several fundamental laws about it: Mana is omnipresent. Mana is chaotic, and resists order. Mana is conserved. Mana cannot be solely responsible for 'magic'.
As stated previously, mana is omnipresent throughout the corporeal plane. In areas where mana is used to induce an effect, surrounding mana diffuses to the target location, almost instantly refilling an area.
Mana is also inherently chaotic; it is constantly swirling and changing local densities. Although the Elder Gods have perfect control over mana, mana does resist change or order: if it cannot stop itself from being used, it will try to harm its user and/or environment.
Mana is always conserved. Although mana can be 'used' to produce effects, once 'used', it simply reverts back into its chaotic and natural state.
Magic, by definition, is the sentient manipulation of mana. Mana, lacking any form of the concept 'sentient', is unable to manipulate itself to produce effects. However, the effects of high densities of mana, or distorted connections of mana present in the spectral plane, are able to produce interesting phenomena.
Difference in Mortal Magic
Mortal beings are able to manipulate mana because they are creations of higher beings that can also manipulate mana. Kar'Kaish, the Elder God of Ara'niel, created the Gods of Life and Death, the Kishae, using mana, granting them strong yet impure power over mana. The Daemons, the joint creation of the Kishae, were able to wield mana with even less control and possibly dire repercussions from magic. However, beings that were created only from the Gods of Life have the worst control and greatest repercussions of using magic; they are also the most disconnected.
Humans, the most noteworthy of mortal beings, are able to use magic at great cost, and only after much practice and understanding. For much of their history, humans were unable to utilize mana simply because they did not have knowledge of it. However, the true meaning behind The Sense was eventually discovered, changing humanity's future permanently.
The Sense is the term for human sensory of mana itself. Whereas beings of higher hierarchy can completely sense the energy, humans only have limited perception, and the Sense only manifests in a fraction of the population. The Sense is usually a perversion of one of the existing senses: Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch, Hearing, and Balance. The Sense alters one of these senses to include the perception of mana. The effect has a range of manifestation: From feeling odd, minor and sudden changes in temperature, to feeling murky fluid rush across your skin constantly. With training, one can better distinguish between The Sense and the base sense it manipulates. Historically, savants of humanity were responsible for much of the knowledge eventually gained for the use of mana and magic, though they were generally viewed with fear or animosity, for The Sense was strongest in them. The Sense for savants was a literal domination of one of the baser senses, being completely removed for a more total perception of mana. Those who could survive with this impairment were often bed-ridden and had to be taken care of by others. With time, these savants would eventually be elevated in society to become revered as influential or insightful.
History of Mortal Magic
These savants began to find that many others had lesser manifestations of their curse, able to finally explain what people had been feeling. With this understanding that what they were perceiving was real and not unique to an individual, magic was first attempted. Humans began trying to assert their will upon mana. At first, only minor phenomena were witnessed, leaving those who attempted it drained or numb. The taxing effect magic had on its users became increasingly apparent as attempts became more complex. The savants who instructed their students could see that the mana they tried to dominate was harming them in the process. Magic was therefore restricted to only those who could be taught by a savant, and knowledge limited to only the areas where others could be taught.
The limits of magic proceeded in this manner for quite some time until the next set of breakthroughs were discovered. The first, was that magic could be used to manipulate the elemental world; people caught in a landslide were saved by one practiced in magic who diverted the falling rock around them, his body ripping apart in the process. The second, was that the backlash, feedback, of magic could be diverted to other objects than the mage. These two advancements quickly changed the limits of magic, and quite soon people close to the savants were able to wield unnatural powers. The emerging mages quickly became feared, and nations began to hunt them to exterminate them before they could supposedly destroy their empires. The mages and savants fled into seclusion, hateful at the world that again shunned them. As each group in turn became more secretive, they also began learning of one another, trading information and forming larger groups.
Although most groups were outcasted by society, there were those who felt that magic was misunderstood and was to be used to help others. There were also those who felt that they should use their power for revenge, to bring about the destruction that others feared. These feelings became nurtured, and eventually led to a history of dark and evil sorcery that dominated the land. Such a history was eventually put to rest as 'good' mages and heroes of the people defeated the 'evil' mages. For the first time, people en masse saw the power of magic as something that could be used beneficially, and leaders saw magic simply as something that could be used. Mages and mage schools became sponsored, and technology as a whole began to flourish.
This continued for a very long time. The Kingdom of Atimar flourished as a center of technology and magic. Eventually, golems were made that operated on more than just magic; steam was being harnessed in feats of engineering; black powder was becoming more and more refined as its potential uses expanded. This golden age was brought to an end, however, when mages began delving into and perfecting necromancy. How exactly the curse was created is debatable and shrouded in mystery, but its effect was not: undead were able to operate without the control of a mage, and the curse was able to slowly transfer to victims if left in the presence of the undead. Soulless beings began roaming the streets, their numbers increasing exponentially. The greatest feat of human magic then took place with the destruction of Tilbury, altering Ara'niel forever.

Re: The Nature of Mana and Mortal Magic
General Spellcraft
Spellcrafting is the art of manipulating magic into a pre-determined effect. This consists of willing the mana into your control, grounding the feedback, forming the foundation of the spell as an anchor, forming the effects of the spell, feeding mana to the spell, and unleashing the spell.
Using magic consists of dominating mana via will, requiring an extensive knowledge of mana, much practice, and a refining of The Sense. Inexperienced mages attempting slightly complex spells have a high risk of permanent disfigurement or death, so spells are often tiered by their complexity.
Mana resists unnatural change, and so attempts to feedback any source that tries to manipulate it, ripping it apart. Mages can direct this effect by forming a sort of "path of least resistance" to an object on their person or otherwise in their control. 'Being in control' of an object more of a psychological necessity rather than an actual requirement, as focus is crucial in spellwork. Other persons and objects cannot be the target of feedback until the mage and his feedback grounds have been destroyed. In extremely rare cases, mages are able to designate others as the target of their feedback.
The foundation of a spell is simply the first building block of manipulated mana, whose only purpose is to hold any future mana added to it together. Inexperienced mages are often the victims of spells blowing up in their faces due to a poorly formed foundation.
The effects of a spell are created on the foundation, directing the mana to produce desired results. Quality of these effects is also a concern, as the effectiveness and integrity of a spell can vary widely due to quality.
Mana stored in a spell is necessary, as mana will quickly begin reverted back to its natural state once the spell is cast. Stored mana rises to take the place of the leaving mana. Stored mana is only held in such a state by the foundation of the spell itself; if the foundation goes, there's nothing holding the stored mana to the spell. The foundation of a spell deteriorates most slowly, as it retains most of the focus of the mage.
Casting spells is quite like 'fire and forget'. Unless directly formed to do so, spells cannot be altered once cast, and will proceed as long as the spell has mana or retains 'structural' integrity.
Elemental Magic
Elemental Magic employs the art of spellwork while adding three new processes: using mana to convert a substance into pure elemental power, using mana to dominate the elemental power, and incorporating the elemental power into an effect of the spell.
All substances are manifestations of residual elemental power, robbed by the Elder Gods from the Elements. Mana was used to subjugate it to the whim of the Elder Gods, and mana can be used to convert it into elemental power by complete dissolving the substance.
Elemental power, the dominion of the Elements, must be dominated by mana first before it can be manipulated.
Elemental power is incorporated into a spell by an effect. Elemental power is stored in the spell, while the spell itself dictates how the elemental power is expressed: it can manifest completely at once, slowly over time, form specific shapes, affect the environment in certain ways, etc.
The substances used for Elemental Magic come in two flavors: natural manifestations and reagents.
Natural manifestations are unique to each element, and can be broken down into the elemental power that formed it.
Earth manifests into rock and dirt. Metal manifests into specific ore. Air manifests into gas. Storm manifests into highly excited gases that incur high wind and generate electricity. Water manifests into water, while Ice manifests into the crystalline structure of water's cold, solid state. Fire manifests into flame. Lightning manifests into electricity.
Reagents are curious substances that may or may not have logical elemental connections, or have connections that defy logic. Reagents are objects that are present near a nexus of elemental power, likely near one of the few portals to the elemental planes. The residual elemental power of the area is stored within the object, and may be broken down to release the elemental power. Reagents are typically more potent than natural manifestations but are extremely rare, though efforts to mass produce them have taken place over time.

Kar'Kaish, the Elder God of Ara'niel, created the Gods of Life and Death, the Kishae, ing mana, granting them strong yet impure power over mana.
Um, what was this part supposed to say? Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important about the relation between Kishae/Life & Death Gods and mana. You know how details, especially details of magic systems are important to me Chaos. (and I promise I'm not asking b/c of some intent to break the world, I'm just trying to get everything hammered out and clear in my head before continuing forward).

The government of Swaziland, one of Africa's poorest and most Aids-ridden countries, has defended plans to spend nearly $2,5-million on celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of independence.
Opposition deputies have called for the celebrations, which will also mark King Mswati III's 40th birthday, to be scrapped or scaled down given that most of the one million population lives on less than $1 a day.
But government press secretary Percy Simelane said that the anniversary on September 6 is an important milestone in the landlocked country's history and will serve to unite the people.
"Such celebrations are a unifying symbol to the Swazi nation because that gives the ordinary Swazi the chance of celebrating with royalty during such functions. The figure is not an issue," Simelane said.
Organisers revealed at the weekend they will spend about 20-million emalangeni (about R20-million) on a series of projects, including an upgrade of the Somhlolo National Stadium, which will host the main festivities.
The bill will also cover the cost of an upgrade of the royal suite, Double Celebrations project director Luke Mswane told the Swazi Observer newspaper.
Mswane said a large chunk of the budget will go towards the renting of cars, accommodating the king's guests and security. "We are currently looking for sponsors so that we may reduce the money government would spend on the celebrations," he said.
Opposition lawmaker Sibusiso Nkambune said it is inappropriate to be splashing out when 600 000 people are only surviving on food aid after a period of drought.
"We are facing a lot of challenges so such festivities will dig deep into coffers," he said.
King Mswati turns 40 on April 19, but he is not planning any formal celebrations on his birthday.
The king, who has 13 wives, is Africa's last absolute monarch and known for his extravagant lifestyle.
Swaziland, wedged between South Africa and Mozambique, became a British protectorate at the beginning of the 20th century before being granted independence in 1968.

I was born at November 27 1971 in Berlin – Charlottenburg and my enthusiasm for music was evident even in my early years. On my 10th birthday I received my first guitar as a gift. This set the mark for my youth and, as it later became evident, for my whole life: Rock ´N´ Roll!!!
As a guitar player I spent five years in different bands, playing a couple of concerts. I guess from the audience perspective the early shows were pretty tough to liste n too. Using some microphones and a little 6- channel mixer we recorded our demos to a stereo tape deck in my rehearsal room - "studio". Because my only field of real interest was music, and with the hope for more Rock ´N´ Roll, I started my training as a sales represantative of musical instruments at the age of 16. Right after my successful examination I attended a private school of audio engineering. During the second lecture I discovered that this school didn't teach the way I would like to learn and I decided to concentrate on my career selling drums. Eventually, after almost seven years, I realised that my job had become more and more about hard business, and that the chance of my original hope coming true had diminished. In 1995 I made the change to wholesale trade wich gave me the chance, in my spare time, to also work as the foh engineer for the band of my ex colleague', Olli Grassmann. It was my first job as a live sound engineer. The guys wanted to record their first CD and the fact that the capability of my "home studio" had developed to 16-track recording with a 48-channel console and good outboard gear helped with their decision to produce the CD with me.
Directly afterwards I went on to also produce CD's and demo tapes other bands. My boss with Sonor drums in Berlin was - and still is - also a partner of a rental company for event technique and I was able to work as their engineer and technician from time to time. This worked out so well that the guys offered me a six month tour as a freelance foh / monitor engineer through all possible – and impossible – churches all over Germany and surrounding countries with the Golden Gospel Singers in early 1997. A damn tough - but good - learning curve.
After I arrived back home the career I had just started seemed to be almost over again as I had no other work coming up for quite some time. But I didn't give up and tried to get in touch with people I knew through my former jobs. I started to work for the biggest backline rental company in Berlin – Total Band Service – as a backliner for Berlin bands. In the beginning of 1998 I met Marcel Fery from (former) Total Sound – now TSE AG - by coincidence. I knew of him and I didn't stop calling his partner who organized the personnel until he offered me a job. It was in spring of 1998, for one of the first Robbie Williams solo shows ever, that one other guy and I had to set up the whole PA (EV MT4). I had to mic up the stage and so forth and I think it was the first time in my life I had to work 20 hours+ in a row. Even in my worst dream I can't imagine that there will come a time when I have a job where I would have to work much longer.
Anyway, that was without any doubt my entrance into the more professional league of sound reinforcement and I was thankful that had that chance. From then on it was a fast way up. As well as my work at TSE I was touring as a backliner for some German artists and at some shows I was allowed to mix the monitor sound. That was another incisive occurrence in my life and I knew - that is what I want to carry on with!
Following were some national and international tours as monitor engineer for TSE and in spring 1999 I was offered the position as monitor engineer for a five trailer tour production, where I was originally hired as their backliner. The band: Modern Talking. I appreciated and accepted that challenge. I already knew a little bit about the psychology of mixing monitors, but I couldn't imagine that there would be a Mr. Bohlen who would primarily be responsible for my knowledge growing as much and as quickly as it did. I worked with these gentlemen until end of ´99 and travelled a little more than just Western Europe.
To be a monitor engineer for Rocksound at the world exhibition Expo 2000 I had to move to Hannover for five months. Directly afterwards I toured for four months through half of Europe with a Gospel show again, but this time with two trailers and a nightliner. I was, in the most positive meaning, "just" the monitor engineer. After 10 months I finally had the chance to come back home, even if it wasn't for long. Cool.
In summer 2001 I worked for different companies at a couple of big festivals in Germany as local monitor engineer where I had the honor to mix the sound for some of my (teenage year) heroes. In winter time it was – as it was since 1997 – Gospel time again.
In April 2002 I received a call that pretty much changed my life – hopefully forever. Audio Rent – Clair Brothers Europe hired me for a short tour with Al Bano Carrisi. From these days on I went for Audio Rent from European tour to European tour with different American Rock and Pop acts. Since then I've been working with the most respected foh engineers, production managers and tour managers worldwide.
Step by step I'm going to get where I already wanted to be when I was a 10-year old kid – when I started to play the guitar: Anywhere in the world to play Rock ´N´ Roll (let others play).

Sharp Leads No. 15 Kansas to 30-14 Victory Against Colorado
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas junior Jake Sharp rushed for 118 yards on a career-high 31 carries and scored a personal-best three touchdowns to lead No. 15 Kansas to a 30-14 victory against Colorado at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium on a sunny Saturday.
The win makes Kansas 5-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big 12 play for the second straight year. A crowd of 49,566 saw the Jayhawks win their 13th straight home game and improve to 9-1 in their last 10 Big 12 contests. Colorado dropped to 3-2 on the year and 0-2 in league play.
Sharp's 118 rushing yards were a season high for a KU running back and the second highest of his career behind his 127 yards against Toledo last season. His 31 attempts were the most by a Jayhawk since Jon Cornish also had 31 attempts against Nebraska in 2006 and his three touchdowns tied for sixth-best in school history. Sharp has now rushed for 197 yards in his last two games.
Not to be overshadowed by Sharp's performance was the effort of KU's defense, which held Colorado to 233 yards total offense, nearly 100 yards shy of its 325 per game average. The defense also came up with two interceptions on the day.
KU quarterback Todd Reesing completed 27 passes on 34 attempts with one touchdown and no interceptions for 256 yards. The junior moved into second on the KU total offense career list, currently with 6,084 yards. Junior wide receiver Kerry Meier caught nine Reesing passes for 94 yards to mark the fourth game this season he has nine or more receptions in a game.
Kansas scored 14 fourth-quarter points on two Sharp touchdowns to extend a 16-14 lead en route to the victory.
Reesing orchestrated a seven-play, 76-yard scoring drive to make the score 23-14 with 13:07 to play. Reesing threw for 33 yards on the drive and rushed for nine, while Sharp ran for 19 yards including the final eight where he fought through CU defenders for his second score for the game.
Following a Colorado punt in which senior Dexton Fields returned the ball 36 yards to the CU 43 yard-line, KU went on a six-play drive in which Sharp covered the final seven yards for his third score of the game to make it 30-16 with 10:29 to play.
Early in the game, Colorado took advantage of great field position to take a 7-0 lead with 3:15 to play in the first quarter. Following a KU interception by senior Kendrick Harper at the CU four-yard line, the Buffs pinned KU deep in its own territory. After a short punt, CU then went 28 yards in five plays and sophomore quarterback Cody Hawkins hit senior wide receiver Cody Crawford on an 11-yard pass to put the first points on the board for either team.
Kansas tied the game at 7-7 when the Jayhawks went on a 76-yard drive in seven plays on a Sharp one-yard run with 8:56 before half. Sharp rushed for 33 yards on the drive, including a 21-yard rush up the middle. Todd Reesing was 2-for-2 in the air on the scoring drive, including a 27-yard strike to Fields which took the ball down to the CU four-yard line.
KU took a 9-7 lead on the next drive when sophomore defensive end Jake Laptad sacked Hawkins for a 16-yard loss in the end zone for a safety with 8:07 left in the half.
Colorado would later mount what would be a go-ahead drive which was halted when junior defensive back Darrell Stuckey intercepted a Hawkins pass at the KU 10-yard line.
On Kansas' second drive of the third quarter, Reesing hit sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe at the back of the end zone on a third and goal from the five-yard line to make the score 16-7. KU's scoring drive covered 78 yards in 12 plays and took 5:25 as Briscoe caught his sixth touchdown of the season.
Colorado's Josh Smith returned the ensuing kick 59 yards, giving CU's offense another short field as it drove 41 yards in four plays to make the score 16-14 with six seconds remaining in the third quarter. In the drive Hawkins connected with Cody Smith on a 38-yard pass play to set up a Hawkins one-yard quarterback sneak for the touchdown.
KU hits the road to face Oklahoma on Saturday, Oct. 18. The game from Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium will be televised by ABC and will start at either 2:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. Kickoff will be announced Sunday.
The Kansas Win…
— Is KU's 20th win in its last 23 games.
— Gives KU a 2-0 Big 12 record for the third time in the 13-year history of the conference (1997, 2007).
— Is KU's 13th straight home victory and 22nd in its last 24 played at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium.
— Is KU's 18th win in its last 19 games against un-ranked teams.
— Improves KU to 9-1 in its last 10 Big 12 games.
— Improves KU to 12-3 in its last 15 games against Big 12 North opponents.
— Is its third straight against Colorado, the first such streak since 1962-64.
Kansas Game Notes

–Todd Reesing connected with Dezmon Briscoe for a touchdown in the third quarter, their sixth TD connection of the season.
RB Jake Sharp

His three rushing touchdowns is a career-high, and ties him for sixth place in KU history for rushing touchdowns in a game.
His 31 rushing attempts is a career-high, and makes him the first KU back since Jon Cornish in 2006 at Nebraska to have over 30 carries in a game (31 carries).

What if I need my dumpster in Freehold picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Freehold, part of your rental agreement includes a given duration of time you're allowed to use the container. You usually base this time on how long you think your project might take. The bigger the project, the more time you'll need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental businesses in Freehold give you a rate for a particular amount of days. Should you exceed that amount of days, you'll pay an additional fee per day. In case the project goes more quickly than expected, maybe you are finished with the dumpster sooner than you anticipated.
If this is true, give the dumpster company a call and they'll probably come pick your container up early; this will enable them to rent it to someone else more instantly. You normally will not get a reduction on your own rate if you ask for early pickup. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or no matter your term is), whether you use them all or not.
One of the most important things to do when you are considering a construction or remodeling project is to plan ahead. Section of that procedure will be researching your dumpster needs for the job. Understanding ahead of time how dumpster rental in Freehold works will make things easier when you start the procedure. You will find a lot of the general information you need online, but for information particular to your region, you may have to call your local company. Be sure to ask about any hidden or additional fees so you do not get stuck with a surprise statement.
One of the largest parts of your research will be establishing the right size container you should rent based on the size of the job. This may be your biggest price, so make sure you get a size that's big enough to survive for the whole job. Other problems to research first comprise a potential location for the container, the type of waste that you're throwing away and the period of time you will need the dumpster.
Picking the best dumpster for your job is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Freehold. Should you choose a dumpster that's too little, you will not have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule extra trips. If you decide on one that's too huge, you'll save time, but you'll waste cash.
Should you call a dumpster rental firm in Freehold and describe the job for which you desire a dumpster, they can urge the finest size. Their years of experience mean they often get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster typically works well for moderate-sized clean-up projects and small remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the most suitable choice for large dwelling clean-up projects and moderate-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls that are ideal for a house cleanout or remodeling jobs on a big house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively large and are used just on the biggest projects including new building.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't perfectly conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the largest size that most dumpster businesses commonly rent, therefore it is perfect for large residential projects in addition to for commercial and industrial use.
It's possible for you to put most kinds of debris into a dumpster rental in Freehold. There are, nevertheless, some exclusions. For instance, you cannot place compounds into a dumpster. That includes motor oil, paints, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, and cleaning agents. Electronics and batteries are also prohibited. If something poses an environmental risk, you likely cannot place it in a dumpster. Contact your rental business if you're uncertain.
That leaves most varieties of debris you could place in the dumpster, contain drywall, concrete, lumber, and yard waste. Pretty much any type of debris left from a building job can go in the dumpster.
Specific kinds of acceptable debris, nevertheless, may require additional fees. If you plan to throw away used tires, mattresses, or appliances, you should request the rental business whether you need to pay an additional fee. Adding these to your dumpster may cost anywhere from $25 to $100, determined by the thing.
You may normally schedule the quantity of time you want to maintain the dumpster when you first call to set up your dumpster service. This usually includes the dropoff and pick up dates. Most firms do ask that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This really is necessary to make sure the dumpster is put in the most effective place for your job. You really do not have to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
In case you get into your job and realize you need pick up sooner or later than you originally requested, that is no difficulty. Only call the organization 's office and clarify what you need, and they will do everything they can to accommodate your request. There might be times they cannot meet your adjusted schedule exactly due to previous obligations, but they will do the best they can to pick your dumpster upward at the appropriate time.

Breckenridge gets in holiday spirit with tree lighting; Christmas parade scheduled for Dec. 10
Breckenridge is decorated for the holidays with downtown buildings featuring Christmas lights and the new community Christmas tree set up in Foundation Park at Walker Street and Breckenridge Avenue.

The Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce and the City of Breckenridge held a tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 17 during the Chamber's Mingle & Jingle shopping event. Scroll down to see more photos from the tree lighting and Mingle & Jingle.
The Breckenridge High School Jazz Band provided Christmas music, and at 6:30 p.m., the crowd gathered in the park joined Chamber Executive Director Yuri Huntington in a count-down. When they reached "1" Stacy Harrison, the Public Services director for the City, turned on the lights on the tree.
The new tree was purchased recently to replace the previous tree that was more than 20 years old and was no longer usable. JB Sparks, chairman of the Breckenridge Downtown Development Council, worked with the Breckenridge Economic Development Council, the City of Breckenridge and Stephens County to help pay for the tree. Each entity paid $10,000, and First National Bank donated the remaining funds (a little over $2,000) for the tree. Local business owner Greg Akers drove to Sherman to pick up the tree.
The City's parks department staff installed the tree in the park. The new tree is more than twice as big as the previous tree, Harrison said.
Lighted Christmas Parade
The community's holiday activities will continue with the annual lighted Christmas parade through downtown Breckenridge on Saturday, Dec. 10, beginning at 6 p.m.
This year's parade theme is "All Things Santa." Click here for the registration form. For more information about the parade or to register to have a float in the parade, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 254-559-2301 or at 100 E. Elm St.

This is a busy week here at CorgiPals HQ! We have THREE new clients to introduce, and one of them is particularly special.
Atrayu has a massive facial tumor on his snout between his eyes. He has difficulty breathing through his nose, and the tumor has been growing rapidly since November. He went in for testing last week, and the news was not good. His tumor is inoperable and radiation/chemotherapy is the only option. Atrayu needs $1,470 to reach his goal.
Gimli is our particularly special client. Why? Because he is our 100 CLIENT!!! That's right! We've hit the bigtimes now! Gimli is 8 years old and recently had a bacterial infection in his paw. After inspecting the necrotic tissue, his vets believe they found cancer cells and now Gimli needs a CT scan. Gimli needs $2,265 to reach his goal.
Baxter is a handsome fella with a lump under his eye that needs to be removed and biopsied. He has had large fatty tumors in the past, so his Mama is worried that it may be cancerous. Baxter needs $550 to reach his goal.
I am keeping these little guys in my prayers. Hopefully they can reach their goals and get the treatment they need.
This seemed like a particular difficult post today. Praying for all of these wonderful corgi's and their families during these difficult times.

St. Aloysius linebacker Trace Daily had more than 10 tackles and one sack in a 31-0 loss to Copiah Academy on Friday.
Copiah takes care of St. Al; Briarfield knocks off Tallulah
Published 12:26 am Saturday, September 26, 2020
Ellis Fair left St. Aloysius feeling a little foul.
The Copiah Academy quarterback ran for more than 150 yards and two touchdowns as the Colonels beat St. Al 31-0 on Friday night.
Copiah (4-2, 2-1 MAIS District 3-5A) crept out to an 18-0 lead by halftime and then cruised home to the victory. St. Al (2-4, 1-1) was shut out for the third time this season, although one of those was reversed to a forfeit victory because an opponent used an ineligible player.
"The score doesn't indicate how the game was played. I was very proud of our kids for competing the way they did," St. Al coach Stacy Sizemore said. "We fixed a lot of mistakes and we will continue to get better."
Brennan Williams led St. Al's offense with 63 rushing yards on 10 carries. Wes Warnock caught three passes for 20 yards, and also had more than 10 tackles. Trace Daily registered a sack on defense.
St. Al will return to Balzli Field next Friday to play Silliman in the second of three consecutive district games.
Briarfield 16, Tallulah Academy 6
T.J. Baker threw two touchdown passes and defending MAIS Class 1A champion Briarfield Academy beat Tallulah Academy in a rematch of last year's Class 1A semifinals, and a possible playoff preview this year.
Baker's TD pass to Undrea Spencer on the game's opening drive gave Briarfield an 8-0 lead. The Rebels (4-0, 1-0 MAIS District 3-1A) turned a fumble into another TD, on a pass from Baker to Crews Fortenberry, early in the third quarter to make it 16-0.
Tallulah (3-2, 0-1) got on the board with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Dee Morgan to Marsh Wood, but that was all it could muster.
"I didn't think we could hold them down to 16 points. We hold them to 16 and we've got to win," Tallulah coach Bart Wood said.
Wood added that, although it was a district loss that will likely come into play later in the season, it was a confidence-builder for his young team.
"We showed that we can play with them," Wood said. "I'm very proud of our boys. We'll meet them again."

Previous Post: WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
Next Post: Comment on abuses by soldiers
Exchange of correspondence between Andrew Murray, Stop the War groups and LFIQ President Harry Barnes MP
Dear Comrades, Andrew Murray has written to all StWC branches to rebut the letter from myself and others from Labour Friends of Iraq.
Andrew's first accusation is that we are "cynically using the murder last week of Iraqi trade unionist Hadi Salih to attack the anti-war movement."
I was a keen opponent of the war and supported the Stop the War Coalition. I wrote very positive things about the million strong march in February 2003 and was very proud to march with everyone else.
We also had the privilege to meet and work with Hadi and considered him to be a comrade. Is it cynical to remember a murdered comrade and trying to avert further murders or is that what the labour movement is all about?
We thought that your leaders mishandled their response to this murder which is clearly part of a strategy by the "resistance" to eliminate the leadership of the emerging Iraqi labour movement.
Since Hadi was murdered on January 4 we have been working hard to encourage solidarity from the international labour movement.
The response of your leaders to Hadi's murder was, at the very best, niggardly. It is in sharp contrast to that of the StWC's sister organisation, US Labour against the war (USLAW).
Noticing that the StWC leaders had made no such statement, we wrote an
Open Letter asking them to condemn the murder as a collective body.
Frankly, it was reasonable to expect that such a statement would have been issued voluntarily and not in passing in a line in a letter to a paper. You need only look at the IFTU web site (www.iraqitradeunions.org) to see how this should have been done, and was by so many groups.
Andrew claims that LFIQ is a "campaign in support of Blair's Iraq strategy." This is just cheap. Please take a look at www.labourfriendsofiraq.org.uk to see for yourselves.
You will see that we seek to unite people in the party who may have taken different approaches to the war but, whilst staying true to their positions, unite to support the Iraqi labour movement since the most important thing is to help a democratic Iraq emerge from the years of Saddam, sanctions and war. We make no apology for having members and supporters who took different positions.
Some of us opposed the war and were active in Stop the War groups. Some of us led those branches, organised and addressed school walk-outs, blocked roads, occupied town centres, ran 24 hour vigils and teach-ins. I myself voted against the war in the Commons on every occasion. Some of us did not oppose the war, taking the view that the internal Iraqi opposition could not overthrow the tyrant Saddam.
We run a series on the website titled 'Bush Does Not Get It' and we have criticised the US administration sharply on the issues of prisoner abuse, economic reconstruction, civilian deaths and the military action in Falluja. You will also find information on the rise of democratic political parties in Iraq, the enthusiasm for democracy, the organisations of women struggling to establish women's rights, the growth of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions, and the struggles for social justice. We work with democratic forces inside Iraq from trade unions to political parties to bloggers to community groups.
We support the UN-backed elections and democratisation process as do the Shia, the Kurds, the Communists, the socialists, the trade unionists, various Sunnis and most Iraqis. We support the election of a sovereign Iraqi government and the speedy withdrawal of troops from Iraq as part of a political solution.
We don't support "Troops Out Now," whatever is happening on the ground, whatever the nature of the 'resistance', whatever the character of the UN backed election process, whatever the support that election process has inside Iraq, whatever the progressive and democratic organisations of Iraq are saying about the timing of the removal of the troops.
We run campaigns in support of threatened Iraqi trade unionists. Nozad Ismail, IFTU organiser in Kirkuk has twice escaped assassination attempts by the resistance. Our solidarity campaign for Nozad has secured pledges of solidarity from workers and unions in Britain, Europe, North America and, Australia.
Clearly our two organisations do not agree on some matters. But the need for a clear condemnation of the campaign of assassination against trade unionists being waged by the resistance, and a ringing message of solidarity for the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions should not be a matter for dispute between us.
We welcome anyone who would like to work with us or has ideas about how to help the democrats in Iraq. We are open to new ideas and certainly don't have all the answers. You can contact us at info@labourfriendsofiraq.org.uk
Yours, Harry Barnes MP, Joint President Labour Friends of Iraq
Dear Brother/Sister
Some of you have received a communication from a group called Labour Friends of Iraq soliciting support for a letter cynically using the murder last week of Iraqi trade unionist Hadi Salih to attack the anti-war movement.
The authors did not have the courtesy to send this email to the StWC office.
This is a group established to campaign in support of Blair's Iraq strategy, and against the StWC. A glance at its website will show that it is less a friend of Iraqi labour than a friend of the British government's occupation policy.
The devastation of Fallujah, the killing of Iraqi civilians by the US forces (19 last weekend alone) and the fact that US-British troops are, according to the Iraqi government, responsible for two-thirds of civilian deaths in Iraq are among the issues these "friends of Iraq" ignore. Their initiative is supported by leading pro-war campaigners like Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch, and MPs who have backed the government throughout like Meg Munn and Wayne David.
The Stop the War Coalition has condemned the murder of Hadi Salih, and
its perpetrators. We have not been silent. I sent the following letter to The Independent on the matter, in response to an article by Johann Hari. Mr Hari has so far blocked publication of the letter in the paper – so much for his commitment to free speech! The letter, along with other correspondence, can be found on our website.

So on February 2. Boomerang Europe will get a whole new look including which will, for the first time, include a brand new logo. Gone is the swirling line writing as a b&w box takes it's place. With a week to go until the rebrand, let's take a look down the memory line and remember Boomerang Europe's previous looks.
Boomerang Europe launched on May 2. 2005, almost ten years ago, and it's initial look was really great. The swirling blue logo was the main part of it and it was going through many different scenes with classic cartoon characters who would usually say their catchphrases. On air logo was a transparent, light gray writing.
In 2009 the UP NEXT idents were changed and the character heads were replaced by swirling logo forming a screen in which we see a scene from the show that's next. They were shorter and somehow more current with groovier music and announcer voice.
Also, in these later years of Boomerang's first look, for some reason they slowly dropped the original bumpers with cartoon characters yelling "Boomerang" and only used the generic, swirling logo idents. From then on, we only got to see the original bumpers during technical problems, which happened again recently.
After Boomerang Europe split into 2 separate feeds, on October 11.2011, they still kept the same visual look and logo, though it's worth noting that the logo used on CEE feed was now more gray and less transparent. It wasn't until March 28.2012. that Boomerang got a whole new look. The logo was still the same and it was still swirling around the screen but this time it found itself in many different, mostly natural environment. The look was very colorful, it included different animals and characters that were not cartoon related and also a brand new music theme that repeated itself, with slight variations, in every ident.
Over the years, there were some slight changes in the UP NEXT bumpers, mostly in their length, form and cartoon clips used in them. At first they featured both what's next and what's later but this was soon dropped in favour of typical UP NEXT bumpers. Their visual style remained the same though, with the usual natural environment and the big screen showing a cartoon that's next. For the first time Boomerang had a special Christmas/Winter look and snowy logo which were used extensively every year during the season. The winter look, minus the snowy logo, is in used right now which effectively means that it will lead us into the next rebrand and that we've already seen the last of the generic bumpers of this second Boomerang visual era.
The latest, global Boomerang rebrand has already taken place in most countries, there are only a few more feeds left to implement it, mostly in Europe. Even though I'm not blown away by what I've seen in YT clips so far, let's hope they use it the best way possible and maybe, it will look better on big screen. It's still unknown if the channel will start broadcasting in widescreen but that would also be a pleasant surprise.
So, you guys had the channel launched during the 2004 look. Technically, it's been called the Boomerang Ribbon these past few years.
The rest of Europe started off with the Toy Bumpers from the US, until it rebranded with the Ribbon. This was fine except the UK then started to rebrand alone in 2007, when it started airing live-action programming, and all their idents revolved around kids doing something with the Ribbon interacting. the 2009 NEXT idents, which came two years earlier in the UK, had a different background instead of the classic blue image. then it altered with flying ribbons and rock music.
But that all went away in 2010, and 2012 saw a more cartoony look. Now, you guys will be branding into the new global look before the UK does.
I was also searching for videos of those original, head UP NEXT idents and was surprised to not find any. I remember there was a lot of them on YT before.
Mostly from the Europe feed, i remember. its odd they modified the Heads to face the right when the UK had them facing the left, but France had both.
RNDH1987 can you do a look back of the classics that Boom Europe used to show? Or if you can't do it with all the classics, do the best classic shows. It will be great.
3. Yogi's Treasure Hunt (The original Yogi Bear cartoons were great, but it was a good reunion of all Hanna-Barbera characters and they got together the Great Daws Butler, Don Messick, John Stepheson and Paul Winchel: The Actors Who Created Hanna-Barbera's cartoons).
Again, the russian broadcasters clearly want to destroy the spirit of the old cartoons by using condescending pre-school oriented shows. Baby Looney Tunes are sometimes like....gulp...Barney and Friends. Ahhhhhh. At times Krypto is just (feel free to fill in the blank).
I really don't think the departure of classics has anything to do with Russian broadcasters or tv. Boomerang's new global strategy is to focus on modern versions of classics and in general cartoons for younger kids, sadly.
13.20 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
13.45 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
20.15 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
20.40 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
That's pretty much the same as the February schedule.
So, you were wrong the first time on those classics coming back.
11.00 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
11.25 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
02.35 Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
He's not gonna make a post until he gets a confirmed schedule. This one you keep sending is more likely to be fake. We're not gonna believe until the evidence is clear.
This is not a fake schedule!
I'm puzzled. This appears to be fake.
Maybe, not classic shorts of Tom and Jerry, but The Tom and Jerry Show will run after Boomerang Cinema.
But, BM HQ will still air Tom and Jerry shorts, only overnight.
http://tvprofil.net/tvprogram/#!datum=2015-02-08&kanal=boomerang nope, take a look at the schedule on that site, they even show the episodes which will air, and it's not fake.
It's true, it also says so and lists the episodes in my schedule. But it won't air after every Boom Cinema.

Michael Jordan Shamefully Admitted an NBA Rookie Could Beat Him 1-on-1 After Getting Embarrassed on the Court
by Jack Dougherty twitter on April 12, 2021
There aren't many players in the history of the NBA who could've beaten Michael Jordan in a game of 1-on-1 during his prime. That list gets even shorter when you ask MJ himself who he thinks could've taken him down. But after Jordan was embarrassed on the court by a star-studded rookie during the 1996-97 NBA season, he admitted that the 21-year-old could probably beat him mano a mano.
That 21-year-old? Eventual NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson.

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player to ever live. The 14 All-Star Game appearances. The 10 NBA scoring titles. The six championships in as many tries. Jordan is one of the most prolific winners to ever play professional sports, so it's hard to confidently say anyone could've beaten him 1-on-1 during his career.
If you ask MJ today, he'll probably say that no one could ever take him down. He's only publicly admitted that one player could beat him 1-on-1 — Kobe Bryant — but he even said it in a joking manner.
"I don't think I would lose," Jordan said in a video promoting NBA 2K14 released eight years ago. "Other than to Kobe Bryant, because he steals all of my moves."

By the 1996-97 NBA season, Michael Jordan had won eight scoring titles and four championships with the Chicago Bulls. He was close to solidifying himself as not just the greatest player of his generation, but the greatest player of all time.
At the same time, Allen Iverson had just arrived on the scene as the most recent No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft. He was feeling the league out as a rookie when his Philadelphia 76ers met Jordan's Bulls in March for a regular-season showdown.
When Jordan finally got matched up defensively against Iverson, the spunky, young guard shook the NBA GOAT out of his shoes and nailed a mid-range jumper right in his face. The iconic move has since become known simply as "The Crossover."
Iverson's slick move is one of the few blemishes on Jordan's legendary NBA career, and it led MJ to make a surprising admission about the then-rookie.

RELATED: Dennis Rodman Spent the Final 29 Days of His NBA Career in a TV-Style Relationship With Mark Cuban
The year after Jordan was embarrassed on the court by a rookie Iverson in 1997, he made a guest appearance at a summer basketball camp. Jordan was asked about the crossover while at the camp, and he made a shocking revelation about Iverson, according to Basketball Network.
"I mean, that was a great move," Jordan said. "I'm never the type of guy that says; I can't get shown up. I just try to limit these opportunities. So, I'm not going to try to make it 1-on-1 between Allen Iverson and myself. You never know, if we play 1-on-1 again, I think he could beat me on the perimeter, but I could take him on the post."
Who knows what would've happened if prime Jordan and prime Iverson faced off in a fiery game of 1-on-1. But the simple fact that Jordan even admitted A.I. could beat him shows just how much respect he had for the eventual Hall of Famer at a young age.
