The celebrant approaches the altar and changes into his chasuble. He is directed to say the hymn Veni Creator (in a slight variant version) while vesting. Only the biggest churches had sacristies, and normally vestments were kept in chests near the altars.
You'll notice (how could you not?) that the celebrant's alb is horribly short. By a sort of cruel coincidence, I was given exactly the same alb for the same occasion the year before. Still, humiliation is supposed to be good for one.
The rulers collect their note from the precentor and begin the Officium (Introit), Suscepimus, Deus, misericordiam in templo sancti tui. In the singing, the antiphon is repeated after the psalm and after the Gloria Patri, making three times.
Meanwhile, the sacred ministers, at the foot of the altar say the 'collect for purity', Deus qui omne cor patet, Psalm 42 (Judica me), a very short Confiteor, with a longer Misereatur and Indulgentiam; then he exchanges the sign of peace with Deacon and Subdeacon (the rubrics say he is to kiss them. Ahem.) and they ascend the altar.
All the servers then go to their places; the taperers set down their candles on the altar step.
The altar is kissed and the sacred ministers make three signs of the cross.
Incense is put in by the Deacon and blessed by the Priest, and the altar is censed. There are no very clear directions for the precise way to cense an altar, so we did it more Romano.
You may have noticed the taperers departing and then returning: they are bringing in the bread and wine for the Mass and taking them to the credence.
A Sarum altar normally has two candles (there were exceptions), but others might stand around. It should also be equipped with curtains at each end; these were not present in Merton College in 1997.
After the censation, the priest is censed and the Gospel book ('Text') is brought for him to kiss. This is a ceremonial book of the Gospels, and many examples still are extant; the Canterbury Gospels, the Lindisfarne Gospels, and even the Book of Kells are of this type; probably not really meant to be read from, but used ceremonially. The Text is replaced at the Gospel side of the altar.
The Kyrie is preintoned and sung. This Kyrie is a good example of a 'farced' Kyrie, with devotional texts included between the words Kyrie and eleison (and even one or other of these omitted). This one is Deus Creator omnium, tu Theos ymon nostri pie eleison —gloriously macaronic in Latin and Greek.
Deus, cui omne cor patet et omnis volúntas loquitur: et quem nullum latet secrétum: purífica per infusiónem Sancti Spíritus cogitatiónes cordis nostri: ut perfécte te dilígere et digne laudáre mereámur, per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Introíbo ad altáre Dei. / Ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
…et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem. / Sed líbera nos a malo.
Confíteor Deo beátæ Maríæ et ómnibus Sanctis, et vobis, peccávi nimis cogitatióne, locutióne et ópere: mea culpa. Precor sanctam Maríam, omnes Sanctos Dei, et vos oráre pro me.
Misereátur tui, omnípotens Deus, et, dimíttat ómnia peccáta tua, líberet te ab omni malo: consérvet et confírmet in bono: et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam Amen.
Confíteor Deo, … oráre pro me.
Absolutiónem + et remissiónem ómnium peccatórum vestrórum: spátium veræ pœniténtiæ et emendatiónem vitæ, grátiam et consolatiónem Sancti Spíritus tríbuat vobis omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus. Amen.
V.Adjutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini.
Orémus. Habete osculum pacis et dilectionis, ut apti sitis sacrosancto altari ad perficiendum officia divina.
In nomine Patris + et Filii + et Spiritus + Sancti. Amen.
The Italian pronunciation? How odd a choice for a Sarum mass!

Q: How to insert list elements inside tuples in another list Suppose
list1 = [('WAIT=', '6'), ('WAIT=', '1'), ('WAIT=', '1')]
list2 = [12,2,2]

Taking note that list1 and list2 will always have an equal number of elements, how do I replace the 2nd element in each tuple in list1 with the elements in list2? That is:
[('WAIT=', 12), ('WAIT=', 2), ('WAIT=', 2)]

A: Use a list comprehension with a zip within, then get first value of each value of list1 list as first element, and each list2 value as second element:
print([(x[0],y) for x,y in zip(list1,list2)])

Output:
[('WAIT=', 12), ('WAIT=', 2), ('WAIT=', 2)]

A: Another way to do the same is as follows (it will allow you to have a new list with any value of 1st item in each tuple, WAIT=, WAIT1= etc.):
list1 = [('WAIT=', '6'), ('WAIT=', '1'), ('WAIT=', '1')]
list2 = [12,2,2]

for i, n in enumerate(list2):
    list1[i] = (list1[i][0], n)

print(list1)
# [('WAIT=', 12), ('WAIT=', 2), ('WAIT=', 2)]

A: Using operator
import operator
l1 = map(operator.itemgetter(0), list1)
list(zip(l1,list2))
[('WAIT=', 12), ('WAIT=', 2), ('WAIT=', 2)]

A: Since tuple object does not support item assignment, I suppose that we would need to create a new list of tuple. You might use this one line to get the result.
[(slice[0], replacement) for slice, replacement in zip(list1, list2)]

Tom Brumley, Member of Buck Owens' Buckaroos, Dies in Texas
Steel guitarist Tom Brumley, who played on classic recordings by Buck Owens and Rick Nelson, died early Wednesday morning (Feb. 4) in San Antonio, Texas, following a brief illness. He was 73. The son of gospel songwriter Albert E. Brumley, who wrote "I'll Fly Away," he served as a key member of Buck Owens' Buckaroos band during the '60s. Touring and recording with Owens, Brumley played on such No. 1 hits as "Act Naturally" and "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail." His work on Owens' recording of "Together Again" is widely regarded as one of the finest steel guitar solos in the history of country music. After leaving Owens' band in the late '60s, Brumley became a member of Nelson's Stone Canyon Band and helped the former teen idol gain respect as a serious singer, songwriter and performer. Brumley's recordings with Nelson include the 1972 hit, "Garden Party." More recently, he spent 15 years starring in his own music show in Branson, Mo., and appeared on albums by Dwight Yoakam, Sara Evans, Chris Isaak, Robbie Fulks and others. Brumley was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in 1992. With Brumley's passing, drummer Willie Cantu is the only surviving member of the classic lineup of the Buckaroos. Guitarist Don Rich died in a motorcycle accident in 1974, and bassist Doyle Holly died in 2007. Owens passed away in 2006.

Charles James Phillips (15 May 1863 – 2 June 1940) of London, England, and New York City, was a philatelist highly regarded in both England where he started his philatelic career and in the United States, where he emigrated to in 1922.

Philatelic activity in England
In 1890 Phillips purchased Stanley Gibbons & Co. for £25,000. It had first been offered to Theodor Buhl for £20,000. Phillips wrote numerous philatelic articles, including those published in The Gibbons Monthly Journal, The Stamp Advertiser and Auction Record and the Gibbons Stamp Weekly where he wrote articles on various collections he had helped build or sold. Eventually, after many changes, the Gibbons in-house journal became Gibbons Stamp Monthly.

New York City activity
In 1922 Phillips sold the Stanley Gibbons business and emigrated to the United States, establishing his headquarters in New York City. There he continued his practice of selling stamps to help collectors build up their unique collections. During the Great Depression in 1933, he helped arrange for the sale the Arthur Hind collection of rare and classic United States and Confederate States of America stamps and, despite fears by observers that the sale would go badly, the sale of the collection actually brought results far greater than expectations.

Phillips wrote numerous articles on stamp collecting, especially in Stamps and in Philatelic Classics, which was his own journal. Many of these articles dealt with famous members of the stamp collecting community and are of a historic nature. Phillips also wrote and published a number of books on philately, including: The Duveen Collection of Rare Old Postage Stamps: a Brief Description of Some of the Rarities of this Famous Collection, published in 1922, and Denmark 1851-1899: Detailed, Descriptive, Priced Catalogue of the Early Issues, Together with Lists and Prices of the Numeral Cancellations, published in 1925. He also wrote, in 1936, a book for the ordinary stamp collector entitled Stamp Collecting: The King of Hobbies and the Hobby of Kings, a book he is most probably remembered for.

Honors and awards
Phillips was one of the initial signers of the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1921. In New York City, he was presented with the Award of Merit by the Collectors Club of New York in 1939 for his career of service to philately. And, in 1941 he was named to the initial list of the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame.

2.) Then press and hold the "AM BW" again and your 880?s firmware version will display (a four digit number).
3.) Finally, by pressing and holding the "AM BW" button one more time, a date appears in a year-month-day format. For example, my PL-880 (see above) was manufactured on November 13, 2013.
Again, we have no confirmation from Tecsun if this is truly the date of manufacture, but there is a strong possibility.
This entry was posted in New Products, News, Radios and tagged PL-880, Tecsun, Tecsun PL-880, Tecsun PL-880 Date of Manufacture, Tecsun PL-880 Firmware, Tecsun PL-880 Hidden Features, Tecsun PL-880 Manufacturing Date on December 18, 2013 by Thomas.
I just received my PL-880 today. I also was unable to access the manufacturing date as described. However reading through all of the comments, a few comments above, Anthony explains why 🙂 All of the other hidden features Do work as described in another post containing all of the features, on this site.
I have tried this many times, too many times, and cannot get to the 'date' display after the version (8820) is displayed.
No amount of key holding or different combinations brings anything up; it returns to the clock.
I have tried to see manufacture date. But version is available. My version is 8820.
Hi Anthony, that is very interesting…thanks for the info. I was a little concerned when I no longer could pull up the software date as I had done a couple of times, but the radio seemed to be working as well as ever, so I just kept on listening to it. I have to say that, for a dilettante like myself, the 880 is about as much of a short wave radio as I will ever need. I do wish the SSB audio quality was just a little better than it is, but that would be my one and only gripe with the 880.
Hi Anthony…I bought my 880 in the beginning of 2016, IIRC. Oddly, at first, I was able to get it to show the date of manufacture, but then after doing it two or three times, it no longer will display the manufacture date. Bizarre, I know, and as far as I know, I am the only person to report having this experience. Otherwise, my radio works same as it ever did, which is excellent.
I have had my Pl880 for about 10 months it does not show the date of manufacture in the display the firmware is 8820, beneath the kick stand is all the information i need its as follows, PL880NV15090150 and I simply read it as Pl880 New Version 15th of September 2015 hope that helps.73 Thomas.
Got mine in July 2016. I can display the Firmware Version (8820) but the Date wont show. Also the external Antenna trick wont work anymore. Quite bad because i want this feature and I buy the PL880 because of this… Even reset wont help at all. Will made a video tonight and post it here again.
Just bought one (june 2017) and the date won't show on mine either. Sometimes the etm indicator displays instead (the radio is turned off so it's not doing any searching). Odd.
1. Holding the "AIR" band button for like 5 seconds while the radio is off first performs a display self-test, then the frequency display shows the manufacturing date (month/year) and the clock shows the firmware version.
2. Holding the SSB button while the radio is turned off shows the overall battery runtime since they were put in. This is way more useful than the battery indicator symbol on the display, which shows a full battery symbol until shortly before the radio turns itself off. Once you tested the runtime of a battery set, you can tell the remaining time with an accuracy of modulo 10 minutes.
Keoron is saying that he has a PL-880 version 8820. He can force his PL-880 to show the firmware version by first, turning off the radio, then pressing and holding the FM Stereo button, then pressing the FM stereo button again a second time. At this point, the firmware version will be displayed.
Mine (arrived today) has no electronic date indication that I can find, but the serial number, like those of various PL-390's past, has the date as part of the serial number. (Also, there is a label in the battery holder with a date code, too). In both cases, 2015/07 is the date. (Supplied by Anon.co).
Howdy all, in response to Jay's comment earlier, I also have discovered that the trick where you press the AM/BW button three times and see date of manufacture no longer works on my 880 either. I seem to recall that it did work until the first time I recharged it…then it quit working. I can't find a sticker anywhere that shows date, but I have had this radio since December 2014. I would like to say that, besides his little quirk, this is the best radio I have ever owned. Great sound, excellent sensitivity, and it turns out to be super for AM and FM DXing once you get the muting turned off. Good job Tecsun!
I just took delivery of a PL-880 from Amazon (I had a gift card from cashing in 17 pounds of coins ;^), and I too am unable to see what appears to be the 'Date of Manufacture'.
In addition, my radio has no 'date sticker' in the battery compartment.
The battery has what appears to be a date code on it "2014-11″… I'm assuming my radio was built either on or after Nov. 2014.
Just thought I'd let you know that on my PL-880 this trick is no longer working. It displays the firmware (8820) but goes back to the clock when I press the button a third time. It's a very recent purchase, December 2014. A sticker at the bottom of my battery compartment confirms this as the date of manufacture.
After using Tecsun PL 660, I thought the usability of such radios can be improved to further extent if following feature is added to them.
A master list containing frequencies and name of station can be made and loaded into a memory of radio. The user can select the stations as per requirement from that list. The name of station can be displayed for convenience. This list can be improved from time to time and can be loaded into radio when there is new addition to the list. It will help many non technical people.
Hi. It's the 20th of May (5-20-2014) and I received via UPS (yesterday afternoon) a Tecsun PL-880 bought from Kaito (via eBay) in the US and it shows S/W ver 8820 and also shows 13 11 13 as the 'date'.
Interesting little radio. Full disclosure: I also own a couple Degens, Icom 765Pro2 and 3, radios, 706MKII (no G), a Kenwood TS-680S, etc. etc.. … still, the PL-880 is an interesting little radio for its size and USB/LSB capability and dB-reading signal strength readout (one of the reasons I bought it, for antenna received-signal strength work, as I like to work with various designs including the Edginton loops, EH antennas, the DLM by Robert Vincent and others).
I also have a PL-390 DSP-based radio which I REALLY like for general AM and SW broadcast listening. Based on the performance of the Tecsun PL-390, I bought the PL-880.
Having sent back my Tecsun pl880 to Amazon because of the earlier firmware number 8819, we contacted the retailer that Amazon used, and the retailer responded that they contacted Tecsun and were told these numbers are actually batch numbers and not firmware numbers. Batch numbers or firmware numbers………….who cares?. I am still very interested in purchasing the new Tecsun pl880, but Tecsun or it's retailers need to come forward and clear up the performance issues issues before I will buy. If not, I will probably buy the Tecsun pl660.
Hi I received my 8820 from Anon-CO on the 9th of December. It shows 13 11 13 while the sticker in the battery compartment shows 11/2013.
My 8820 version also shows 13 11 13. I believe that this may rather be the date when version 8820 was implemented. In the battery compartment there is a sticker showing 12/2013. I believe that is the month of manufacuring. (My unit was dispatched from Anon-Co on December 10th).
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the manufacturing date information. My date is the same as yours. November 2013. I also purchased mine from Anon-CO. I was wondering when the earlier versions sold by Amazon were manufactured.


In the last two home games at the Anteater Aquatics Complex this season, the No. 5 UC Irvine women's water polo team (17-7, 3-1) split even this past weekend, winning against No. 6 Hawai'i (13-8, 2-2) and losing a close game to No. 11 UC Davis (16-12, 2-3).
Looking to continue their winning streak and clinch a top seed in the upcoming Big West Tournament, two Anteater seniors, goalkeeper Jillian Yocum and utility player Danielle Warde, shined for their team with impressive performances against Hawai'i and had their Senior Day on Sunday against UC Davis.
On Saturday afternoon, the Anteaters defeated the No. 6 Rainbow Wahine of Hawai'i to a score of 7-6 in a game that went down to the wire. The senior duo of Yocum and Warde led their team to edge a victory over a gritty Hawai'i team. Yocum had 10 saves on the day, one of which sealed the game for the 'Eaters in the final seconds against Hawai'i. Warde scored two goals for UCI to edge the narrow victory and extend their winning streak to eight.
Irvine set the tone early in the first quarter, scoring two goals without allowing one from the Rainbow Wahine. Five minutes into the game, Warde scored her first goal off a steal on the defensive end and a shot with only the Hawai'i goalkeeper to beat. In the closing seconds of the first period, junior center McKenna Mitchell shot a 25 meter prayer shot to beat the buzzer and gave UCI the 2-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
One of the many saves that Yocum had came early in the second period, when she blocked a penalty shot by Hawai'i to keep the Wahine scoreless. The Irvine defense performed well in the first half, as they did not allow Hawai'i to score after two periods of play. In the closing seconds of the second period, junior Hanna Lancaster scored a 10 meter lob shot over the Hawai'i goalkeeper with 11 seconds left to extend the Anteater lead to three.
Action was aplenty in the third quarter, as there were seven goals made in between the two teams. UCI quickly scored early in the third period, but were immediately answered by the Wahine with two goals to cut the lead to 5-2 with 3:41 left in the period. Hawai'i took advantage of many power plays against Irvine as they scored two goals off exclusions in the third. A flurry of offense by both teams quickly followed and saw the third quarter end with Hawai'i sophomore Chloe Barr cut the 'Eater lead, 6-4, heading into the last quarter.
With a score by Warde coming in with 7:28 left in the game, UCI's lead seemed secure, but Hawai'i never let up and had a two goal swing with momentum on their side heading into the closing minutes.
Irvine leaned on their star goalkeeper to defend their lead against Hawai'i's late rally. UCI would head into senior day against the UC Davis Aggies being undefeated in conference play and a eight game winning streak.
Sunday's game saw Irvine come out of the gates strong and take a 3-0 lead. In the closing seconds of the first period, Davis scored off a penalty to prevent the shutout and make the game competitive.
Davis, being a more physical opponent than Hawai'i, constantly pressured Irvine, making it tough to get shots off. Anteater Mitchell scored her second goal of the game with 5:45 left in the second period off an Aggie exclusion to increase the lead to 4-1. Two scores from Aggie juniors Sammi Murphy and Ariel Arcidiacono cut the 'Eater lead to one heading into the third quarter.
Momentum then went Davis' way, as they scored four unanswered goals, including the two from the third period, to give them the one point lead with 4:40 left in the third. Anteater sophomore Destene Albers stopped the dry spell for Irvine with her goal to tie it all up at 5-5, heading into the last period of regulation.
Early into the fourth period, Aggie senior Elsie Fullerton scored her second goal on the day to give her team the one point lead with 7:22 left in the game. This time it was UC Davis who relied on their goalkeeper, senior Jillian Wilding, to preserve the lead to pull off the upset against the number one team in the conference.
Irvine had many opportunities in the closing minutes of the game, but it was Wilding who shined bright to pull out the victory on the road. The loss marks Irvine's second conference loss in a five-year span.
Sunday's loss was the first conference loss for coach Klatt's team; they look forward to face rival Long Beach State on Thursday to secure a top spot heading into the postseason.
The game against Davis was the 'Eaters' senior day, being Jillian Yocum and Danielle Warde's last game at home. Yocum is second all-time in UCI history with 873 total career saves.
Warde places fourth in Anteater history with 192 career goals.
Their talent and leadership will be missed after this season as the duo heads to their last Big West Tournament.

Indonesia votes for a muddle
Apr 12, 2014 7:00 AM PHT
A. Lin Neumann
The word now is negotiation. Parties will be scrambling to form effective coalitions to get on the ballot in July.
Jakarta Governor Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is not headed for a presidential coronation after all, at least not one led by his Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P). Following Wednesday's legislative elections, the entire picture got decidedly muddled.
The result will be complex jockeying to form acceptable coalitions for the July 7 presidential election. Some analysts had predicted that a period of dramatic reform might emerge from a Jokowi presidency if the opposition PDI-P was dominant in the legislature. Instead, the competing and conflicting interests that mark – and sometimes sully – the Indonesian political system are likely to remain in place.
Pre-election polling seemed to conclude that PDI-P, having given the presidential nod to the popular Jokowi, might swamp the field and come away with as many as 35% of the seats in the 560-member House of Representatives. That didn't happen by a long shot, and while the party did come out at No. 1, with just under 20% of the vote in "quick-count" results, the country's other leading parties are not that far behind.
"There was a Jokowi effect, but it was not as great as PDI-P hoped, obviously," said Dino Patti Djalal, the former Indonesian Ambassador to the US who is currently seeking the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. In 2009, PDI-P had about 14% of the vote.
Dino said he believes the results give hope to the Democrats, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's party. Battered by numerous public corruption scandals, the party finished No. 4 at about 10%, half as good as 2009, but far better than a feared slip below 5% based on pre-election surveys. "This gives the party some momentum" in joining a coalition, Dino said of the result.
"This is a disappointment for PDI-P, certainly," said Paul Rowland, an independent election analyst based in Jakarta. "But in legislative elections, you are voting for a local candidate and a party, not for a presidential candidate. Jokowi was not on the ballot."
It is worth noting that in 2009, the Democrats finished with just over 20% of the House vote, yet Yudhoyono swept to victory with 60% of the popular vote three months later.
The word now is negotiation. Parties will be scrambling to form effective coalitions to get on the ballot in July. A party, or a coalition of parties, needs to have 20% of the seats in the House or 25% of the popular vote to nominate a presidential candidate. Coalitions are due to be announced in the second week of May, after official House results are in.
While the country has a presidential – not a parliamentary – system, coalitions traditionally result in the allocation of cabinet posts based on political interests rather than competency or policy alignments. That fact has played a major role in corruption, with some parties using ministries as a conduit for illicit fund raising.
The Democrats have seen one cabinet minister put on trial for corruption and rumors that others may yet be named for misappropriation of funds. Jokowi has said he would name cabinet ministers based on competency, something Yudhoyono failed to do after his landslide reelection in 2009, but that might be tough if political deals are required to get him elected.
Partner to the dance
After Wednesday, Jokowi remains the front-runner based on various poll numbers showing him with a popularity rating nearing 40%, but PDI-P will need to bring a partner to the dance. Traditional powerhouse Golkar finished No. 2, with above 14%, about as expected, and should easily be able to get its ticket, led by tycoon Aburizal Bakrie, on the ballot. Aburizal's personal poll numbers are dismal, but he has shown no signs of pulling out of the race.
The Great Indonesia Movement Party, or Gerindra, headed by "chief patron" and presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto, got just enough out of the Wednesday result to stay relevant, finishing No. 3 at just under 12%. The controversial Suharto-era general has been slipping in the polls against Jokowi, but is still No. 2 and will likely find enough partners to get on the July ballot.
Also doing better than expected, and further crowding the middle ground of the political system, were 3 Islamic parties, who each finished with between 6.5% and 9% of the vote. While the chance of the country slipping into the hands of an Islamist majority remains remote, political Islam's demise was prematurely announced.
In all, 9 of the 12 contending parties came away with enough votes to have a strong voice in any coalition talks. That means a lot of favors will be demanded and dispensed before Indonesia gets a new leader.
The biggest question after Wednesday is which party will bring a vice presidential candidate to the Jokowi ticket. The choice of a No. 2 will say a lot about whether the governor is a real reformer or another captive of a murky system, like Yudhoyono. PDI-P could align with anyone from the Democrats to the new Partai Nasional Demokrat, or NasDem, led by media mogul Surya Paloh, which got about 6.5%.
Independent figures also have been floated as vice presidential names under Jokowi and he will doubtless need a strong figure on the ticket, especially given his lack of national and international political experience. Smaller parties will also be drawn into the Jokowi orbit, because they will want a taste of the spoils, but the possible combinations are almost limitless.
By July, the likelihood is that there will be 3 candidates on the presidential ballot: Jokowi, Aburizal and Prabowo, all in coalitions that will be hammered out far from public scrutiny. Islamic parties will have a significant say in forming coalitions, which means that socially conservative clerics will continue to have a voice in policy debates over moral and religious issues.
If no candidate gets a majority in July, a runoff will be held in September.
In short, it is a recipe for compromise, not change. Polling numbers have said repeatedly that the Indonesian public is sick of the kind of corruption that closed-door favor-trading breeds. That sentiment has yet to translate into a consistent direction at the ballot box and the foreseeable future looks to be more of the same. – Rappler.com


I've gotta find one outside..
3 – Took at picture with a complete stranger at the Turkey Trot race on Thanksgiving :) My stranger's name is Martha and her entire family came out to do their first 5k. I must say it was pretty awesome! Martha, her hubby, son and daughter each won a medal in their divisions :) Ballin' for their first 5k ever!
4 – Found two on my run today! Had to loop out half a mile but I found the port a potty!


I love to shop for new jewelry supplies- I'm feeling kind of rustic and mother earthy lately-along with feeling bigger-like I'm a bear packing it on for winter. OK, I digress, so the these are Sea Urchin spines that I've made into earrings. They came pre-drilled so were easy peasy, I just washed them, and then gave them a quick coat of Mod Podge glossy. And presto- new earrings. I think I'll be making some more to give as Xmas gifts this year.


One of the new ways credit card issuers are hoping to lure new customers is by offering access to a free FICO credit score, which can cost up to $20 a pop. Already, Barclays, Discover, and First Bank National offer this perk to cardholders via the FICO Open Access Program.
Now, the head of the nation's consumer watchdog agency is putting pressure on all credit card companies to supply credit scores to their customers free of charge.
This is all well and good, but it's something of a bizarre request. Sure, it would be nice for lenders to give everyone a free credit score — but why not get the goods straight from the horse's mouth? In this case, we mean credit reporting agencies themselves.
A spokesperson for the CFPB declined to comment on the bureau's plans, if any, to make a similar appeal to credit reporting agencies themselves.
But in the meantime, we do have a bit of good news: You can get a credit score estimate whenever you want — for free — from several websites already.
Are they all the same?
Not exactly. Each of these sites are alike in that they update your score on a weekly or monthly basis, which can be a great way to track your progress if building up your score is on your to-do list.
Unless you're a brand loyalist, this shouldn't concern you too much. As long as the credit bureaus have your history correct, your scores should be similar regardless of where you get them. And those scores will be similar to your FICO score as well. The key is not to get caught up in matching your credit scores across all platforms down to the decimal point.
Instead, look at where your score falls in the credit risk range. Each site has its own version of a chart that tells you whether your credit score makes you a poor, good, or excellent candidate for credit. No matter which site you use, your score should land you close to the same range in each.
Our advice: Check your scores on all four sites (Why not? They're free!). If any of your scores are way off from the others, it could be a clue that there's an error on one of your credit reports. If so, you should flag the error on your credit report by visiting the corresponding credit reporting bureau websites directly. Don't forget, you can get a free report from all three bureaus once a year via annualcreditreport.com.

The policy of the Church of England on this matter is well documented but, as the items are not obvious on the CofE website, they are listed here. There is a link to them from the main CofE advice page on Weddings.
The general information page is Marriage in Church after Divorce.
Marriage in church after divorce – Form and explanatory statement – A leaflet for enquiring couples but this is available only in PDF format – four of the six pages are the application form, but the one-page explanatory statement is reproduced here below the fold.
Advice to the Clergy which is naturally more detailed, and is available from the CofE website only as an MS Word document. An html version is accessible here.
The Church of England teaches that marriage is for life. It also recognizes that some marriages sadly do fail and, if this should happen, it seeks to be available for all involved. The Church accepts that, in exceptional circumstances, a divorced person may marry again in church during the lifetime of a former spouse.
If you are thinking about asking to be married in church, you should discuss this with your local parish priest. Please do this well before choosing a date for your wedding.
Some priests may be willing to take such a marriage, others may not be prepared to do so, on grounds of conscience, and may not allow the use of their church either. The law of the land permits them this choice.
If your parish priest is willing to discuss the possibility of conducting your marriage, he/she will want to talk to you frankly about the past, your hopes for the future and your understanding of marriage. You and your intended spouse should therefore be prepared to consider some questions. You are advised to reflect beforehand on the issues they raise – and should be prepared to answer them honestly.
What have you learned from your previous marriage?
Has there been healing of past hurts?
If you have children, how are they being looked after?
What do others think of your marriage plans?
When did your new relationship begin?
Have either of you been divorced more than once?
Are you wanting to grow in the Christian faith?
It is likely that your priest may ask for more than one confidential interview with you and your intended spouse together. Your priest may also feel the need to consult with the bishop or his adviser, before making a decision, although the decision remains with the parish priest.
This process could easily take some time, and you should discuss how long it might take with your parish priest at your initial meeting. If it is not possible for your proposed marriage to take place in church, your priest may consider other alternatives with you. If your priest agrees to conduct a marriage service, you may be invited to take part, possibly with other couples, in marriage preparation.
The process this leaflet describes reflects the Church's commitment both to lifelong marriage, and to taking seriously your wish to marry in church. You may be certain that your application will be received and considered with dignity, care and loving concern. Whether or not you proceed to marriage in church, your priest and your local church are available to offer you guidance and support as you proceed on life's journey.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you.

Orlando Muslims, community leaders talk about Islam and terrorism
by Monivette Cordeiro
Dr. Mohammad Akhtar, above, at "Muslims and Terrorism: A community-based dialogue with a problem-solving approach."
Fatima Ait Rami lives more than 2,457 miles away from San Bernardino, California, where last week 14 people were killed by a couple alleged to have been inspired by the terrorist group ISIS. But the Tuesday after the massacre, she felt afraid to wear her hijab outside in Orlando.
"I was very worried to get out of my house in the morning," she says. "My daughter, who also covers her head by her own choosing, was worried about going to college. But we have to go out and move on with our lives. We cannot hide. We didn't do anything wrong."
She didn't see anything out of the ordinary that day, but remembers the phone call the Islamic Center of Orlando on Ruby Lake Road received the day after terrorist attacks killed at least 130 people in Paris.
"We got a voicemail from a man saying he would come to take his revenge," she says. "That's why we're trying to reach out more and show people there's nothing to fear from us. We want to live happily and peacefully as a community with everyone else."
Ait Rami and Dr. Mohammad Akhtar, president of Muslim Council of America, helped organize a panel Friday to speak to Muslims and non-Muslims about perceptions of Islam and terrorism.
"Islam means peace," Akhtar told about 100 people who came to the panel. "Islam allows no killing no matter what...Why do we make a problem with some Muslims a problem with Islam?"
U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings and other faith leaders were also in attendance. Demings says people should get to know their neighbors and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement. Grayson says ISIS and other terrorist organizations are trying to create a sense of terror that divides people and vilifies the Muslim community.
"Why are we allowing anti-Muslims to dictate the narrative of Muslim Americans?" Grayson asks. "The [Republican presidential candidate] race looks like a reality show, but instead of 'The Biggest Loser,' we're on 'The Biggest Bigot.' President Obama never descends to inciting fear or hatred."
Ismat Shah, who was in attendance Friday, says she's been living in the United States for almost 50 years, and this country has become her home.
"Just like there are good and bad people, there are good and bad Muslims," she says. "We want a good relationship with our community. We love it here."

Mitch Wolfe: The Playful Contrarian
Ghomeshi's Defense Counsel Screwed Up- A Contrarian Approach to the Ghomeshi Trial
February 16, 2016 April 18, 2016 by Mitch Wolfe, posted in Ghomeshi, Politics
Jian Gomeshi. Photo: screenshot YouTube The National
I predict that Ghomeshi will be convicted on at least one charge, if not more than one charge.
Marie Henein is an excellent lawyer. Perhaps one of the best defense lawyers in Canada. But she is human. Last time I looked she does not walk on water in her " glamorous, vertiginous footwear, a parade of five inch heel Manolo Blahniks, Alaïas and Brian Atwoods" , (as reported by Anne Kingston in "Macleans")
Yes, Henein is tough, determined, talented, hard- working and generally always prepared. Her strength is her self-confidence and her arrogance, but that is also her weakness.
I have followed her career closely over the years. Her arrogance has sometimes led her astray. I believe she made a serious mistake in this trial, and that may lead to her client being convicted.
Henein has performed admirably, notwithstanding that her client, Ghomeshi is a narcissistic, controlling, slime bucket- who is on trial- having been charged with four counts of sexual assault and one charge of overcoming resistance by choking- involving three women.
The first complainant testified as to having her hair allegedly pulled back by Ghomeshi on one occasion in a car. She then alleged that on a second occasion while in Ghomeshi's house, he pulled her hair back a second time and then punched her in the head three times.
The second complainant, who can be identified as Lucy DeCoutere, testified that while in Ghomeshi's home, she was allegedly choked and then slapped three times in the face by Ghomeshi.
The third complainant alleged that while on a park bench, Ghomeshi suddenly bit her shoulder, then placed his hands around her neck making it difficult for her to breathe.
In each case, the complainant admitted that at the beginning of each encounter there was consensual kissing, so each encounter, at least initially, was sexual in nature and consensual.
However, each complainant maintained that at no time subsequent to the kissing but before the alleged, pulling of the hair, punching, or choking, or punching or biting or choking, slapping- did any one of them consent to the above hair pulling, punching, choking, punching , biting, choking or slapping.
My view is a layman's view. But the law is based upon common sense and reasonableness. So my common sense and logic still lead me to the conclusion that Ghomeshi may still be convicted on at least one charge ( if not several) of sexual assault.
In order to convict Ghomeshi, the Crown has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ghomeshi had both the intention to commit a sexual assault ( known as the mental element or mens rea) and that he actually committed such a sexual assault ( known as the actus reus).
The role of the judge is of a trier of fact. It is his job to assess the truthfulness and credibility of the witnesses and determine whether what they are saying is accurate and can be relied upon in making a determination of the facts.
I was not in the actual court room. I did see the complainants provide evidence in chief or respond to Henein's cross-examination. I am relying solely on reports by journalists who attended this trial.
In the Crown's closing argument, the Crown admitted that there were some inconsistencies and omissions in the testimony of each of the three complainants. The first complainant was unclear as to whether she was wearing hair extensions when her hair was pulled in Ghomeshi's car and a little confused as to what car Ghomeshi was driving when one of these alleged incidents occurred.
The first complainant omitted to mention that she sent Ghomeshi her bikini photo, subsequent to the alleged hair pulling and being punched in Ghomeshi's house.
Ms. Coutere omitted to disclose that subsequent to allegedly being choked and slapped three times in the face, she kissed Ghomeshi good night and the next day she wrote to Ghomeshi that "you kicked my ass and that makes me want to fuck your brains out".
DeCoutere also omitted to disclose that she had spent the next day with Ghomeshi and subsequently sent him a 6 page love letter which concluded that she thought he had nice hands.
The third complainant omitted to disclose that subsequent to the alleged choking on the park bench, they had met a subsequent time and she had given Ghomeshi a hand job.
Henein for the defense in her concluding remarks argued that the Crown has failed to introduce evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that any of these alleged incidents occurred. Because all three of these complainant are liars, lack credibility, have faulty memories and have provided inconsistent statements which undermined their credibility. And they have omitted crucial facts which also called into question the truth and accuracy of their statements.
The Crown countered that just because a complainant may be fuzzy on peripheral facts. May have been inconsistent or omitted certain facts, that does not mean that their statements of facts relating to the actual incidents of pulling of hair, punching, slapping or choking are untrue.
I believe that Henenin made a serious error in not having Ghomeshi testify that either; none of these incidents of alleged sexual assault occurred or if some such incidents did occur, they were all consensual and had been explicitly consented to by each complainant prior to each incident.
Of course, there were great dangers to Ghomeshi testifying. If he had testified, the Crown would have introduced as evidence Ghomeshi's arrogant Facebook posting in which he admitted to engaging in rough sex, but only of a consensual nature. That posting or that evidence of Ghomeshi's propensity for rough sex, was not before the court.
However, if Ghomeshi had testified that none of the incidents occurred or some of these incidents had occurred, but there had been prior explicit consent, then it would have been his word and against the words of the complainants.
If Ghomeshi was credible, ( and admittedly, that is a big "if") it is my humble opinion, then he would have had a better chance of being acquitted on all these counts.
Personally, based upon what I have read and what has been reported, I do not believe that Henein's cross examinations sufficiently undermined the credibility of all the complainants and raised a reasonable doubt against all the complainants with respect to all the incidents.
I believe that the Crown has made the case that Ghomeshi has sexually assaulted at least one of the complainants if , not more, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Most eye shadows are merchandised in 3 or 4 complementary shades with 2 neutral colors which is what I call the base color and the darker color or accent color and a lighter color or can be refers to as the highlight color.
Apply base color on the eyelid and apply the accent (darker color) from lash line to the brow (in the crease of the eye). Use the highlighting color for highlighting the brow bone.

BRITISH SHAME! The Betrayal of Post-war Pensioners by the British Government
Party politics promotes the idea of 'dignity in old age' and 'preservation of pensions values' despite the fact that British state pensions are among the lowest of any country in the developed world. What politicians say rarely is what they mean and never what they intend.
During the coming weeks, in this Blog, I will tell the disgraceful story of British pensions and how politicians dispossessed 500,000 British pensioners of the pensions they contributed towards all their working lives – and that at a time when private pensions for the ordinary citizen were few and far between. MPs cared and still care nothing for the fact that many of those frozen pensioners fought in WW2 and then returned to help rebuild a shattered Britain – gun fodder through the war and gun fodder back home!
The origin of the state pension dates back to the early 1900s and the Great War of 1914-18. Returning soldiers were promised 'a country fit for heroes'; for many, the reality was unemployment, poverty and near-starvation. And this was before the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s! When the government offered subsidised emigration to countries of the British Empire (in the early post-WW2 years The Commonwealth Office still promoted Rhodesia [Zimbabwe] as a grand place to settle), the majority who volunteered were found to be unacceptable because of malnutrition.
At the same time, the aristocratic ruling class of British government ministers were conscious of the people's uprising in Russia and the spate of upper-class assassinations across Europe. They feared a similar uprising in England from the mass of population living in poverty and who had little to lose. They needed something that could be introduced quickly, which would have an immediate effect, and would cost as little as possible (they did not want to increase taxation or reduce the substantial subsidies doled out to wealthy landowners, including themselves). The answer was the altruistic-sounding, though petty in substance, 'pensions for the elderly'. At a time when Poor Laws and Workhouses still operated in many areas, the pittance level of these payments nevertheless enabled the elderly poor to have some dignity; in the presence of mostly extended poor families, often those meagre payments were the only means of avoiding total starvation.
MPs continually complained about payments to "these ungrateful people who now will have no reason to work" even when it was pointed out that it cost more to feed an MP's dog than the amount awarded to a pensioner couple. In 1925, MPs voted to replace the pension payments with a contributory scheme. Pensions were payable at local Post Offices to residents in Britain only since there were no British Post Offices in overseas countries (though people returning to UK could claim accumulated back-payments). However, from 1929, overseas payments were made to ex-government officials through British Consulate offices in 'His Majesty's Dominions'.
Until 1946, that pension remained at ten shillings (£0.50) a week, when it was increased to twenty-six shillings (£1.30) a week; at the same time, MPs awarded pensions of thousands of pounds a year to certain public officials. However, even that minimal payment was confined to residents in Britain; Parliament said this was because of the forthcoming National Insurance Scheme which would introduce a higher level of pension to which overseas residents were not expected to contribute. The scene was set for the first betrayal!
In the early post-WW2 years, the Empire-loving British Establishment had to come to terms with independence for India and Pakistan in 1947, followed by Burma (Myanmar) and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the following year. Gradually more countries became independent from British rule, events which were to influence future British pensioners. In the wings of government, the secret circle of Cecil Rhodes followers, which had dominated government through two major wars (which I will deal with in a future blog), were still active in promoting the concept of 'Empire' and Britain's Colonial superiority. This underbelly would demand the next betrayal!
For now, there was one more decision passed by MPs which would have a lasting effect, and which has caused the frozen pensions injustice to continue for more than sixty years – Parliament granted to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the right to impose 'regulations' without the prior consent of MPs. MPs could reject a set of regulations as a whole, but could not reject one regulation nestled in the middle of a Parliamentary instrument. The scene was set for infamy, betrayal and injustice which Churchill, still active in politics though now in opposition, would never have condoned.
The Colonial Establishment had to wait until the great man retired ten years after the new 1946 pensions' scheme had been agreed!

Brewster Firefighter/EMT Jim Clarke Completes the Pan-Mass Challenge
Brewster Building and Needs Assessment Committee Requesting Comments on Proposed Fire Station Construction Project
Reporter learns firsthand the difficult job firefighters face
kcmyers@capecodonline.com
BREWSTER – Within minutes of starting the course, I knew there was way too much to remember.
Brewster Fire Chief Robert Moran invited me to put on an air pack, officially called a self-contained breathing apparatus, and test out the Brewster Fire Department's recently updated mask-confidence course.
Air masks allow firefighters to breath in toxic or smoke-filled buildings to search for trapped people. The equipment weighs 50 to 60 pounds, including all the tools. And, the turnout gear that saves firefighters from burning is as hot as a snowsuit.
This I knew. But Brewster Firefighter/Paramedic Matt Tucker and Firefighter Bill Kraul then told me an awe-inspiring amount of detail that firefighters must remember in preparation for a huge array of worst-case scenarios.
Given all they must remember, it's a good thing firefighters are required to take mask-confidence refresher courses annually, Moran said.
Until I donned the mask myself, however, many of the instructions seemed like overkill . For example, I didn't understand why Kraul told me that when I ran out of air, and knew I would soon lose consciousness, I would need "the fortitude to not rip off the mask."
"It keeps your airway viable …You want to pass out with that on your face," he said.
Why would you want to remove a mask in a room of toxic smoke? I was soon to find out.
The mask-confidence course is a loft space in a Brewster Fire Department outbuilding. It resembles a little maze built from particle board. Most adults wearing a fire helmet could not stand up straight in it. At first, the course seemed easy enough to navigate. Certainly Tucker went through it with all the gear and air mask with little trouble. Then, Kraul helped me load the air pack on my back. It weighed about 30 pounds and allowed me about 30 minutes of air. Firefighters must put this on as soon as they step off a truck anytime they respond to a fire, Moran said.
"It's your backpack when you go to a fire," Tucker said. You might not need it, but if you do, you don't want to waste time running back for it, Moran added.
Next, Kraul put the helmet on me. It soon began to feel like a boulder on my shoulders. Last, Kraul gave me a crowbar-like tool, which I was to carry as I crawled through the course to "sound" the floor – that is bang on any new surface before stepping to make sure it wasn't about to cave in. It was all so heavy that as soon as I got through feeling the walls of the first obstacle (a closet space, because firefighters often get disoriented in dark fire situations and cannot find their way out of closets, Moran said), I was already tired.
Firefighters are trained to go through this course without vision to prepare for the darkness, Kraul said. They learn to feel for their equipment and to use tools such as wire cutters while wearing heavy gloves, he said.
Thankfully, these firefighters didn't blind me. The downside was that I could see exactly how crawling in all this equipment with a Darth Vader breathing device was exhausting me. My mindset went rapidly from "I don't want to look clumsy, weak and forgetful in front of these brave young men" to "I don't' really care what I look like" to "I just want to lie down."
As the course reached the end, Kraul gently placed a wall on top of me and asked me to recite the Mayday call, which I couldn't remember and so yelled, "Whatever!"
And finally, after I had squeezed through a tight tunnel in a military-style elbow crawl, I had my ah-ha moment.
I could see the end of the course. But physically I had already reached my end. Breathing suddenly felt like sucking oxygen through a straw. All I wanted to do was immediately rip off that mask. It's an anxiety response, Tucker explained, not a claustrophobic feeling exactly, but something equally difficult to ignore. This was when I needed that fortitude to keep the mask on. But in the fortitude-versus-breathing comfortably contest, breathing won hands down.
I never finished the course, though Kraul made me feel better saying I had only used about the same amount of air as Tucker had when he demonstrated it. Panicked, out of shape, and large people extinguish their air more quickly, Tucker said.
I had about 10 minutes of air left, Kraul said. If I had gone through it all, a loud alarm would have started sounding and a team, trained in rapid intervention, would have come in to the burning building and hauled me out, Moran said.
And so, in about 20 minutes, I learned why firefighters do so much training, and are so careful about their equipment maintenance. And, why they are called heroes.

This is the new site for you to get my devotions, updates from the road, and more so thoughts from the heart and mind of yours truly. I will be adding audio files, video files, and so on. Inseide out (get it? :)) is to be an encouragement, affirmation, and maybe even a push in the direction of our Father God's love for and pursuit of you, His sons and daughters.
So to start the inseide out blog off, I offer you two things. First, the first ever recording of song never released before. Second, the first of the Advent devotionals for this Advent and Christmas season!
Being it's the day after Thanksgiving, I thought we would start off the blog with a link to the long awaited new recording of "The Donut Song" with my dear friend, comedian Daren Streblow! It's been a long time coming.
It's no secret I'm a Minnesota sports fan. Vikings, Twins, Wild, Lynx (Allison got me into them), Gophers, Timberwolves (though they are too busy arguing over millions). You name it, I'm a fan. Every time I get to go to a game or watch a game, as a fan, I always believe a victory is possible. When my teams are bad (and right now a lot of them are) and my friends are even down on my team, I go into a game most everytime, even with my Vikings, believing they can win. I unfortunately have watched many a game with an outcome that does not lift my spirit. I cheer and hope and yet the outcome finds me going "Why do I continue to follow these teams?" Yet I will remain loyal.
One of the most obvious differences is this. My teams are not for sure. I never know how it will turn out.
God always wins, always keeps His promise, always comes through. The people before Jesus trusted that and that's why their hope was not in vain.
Our hope this day is not in vain either. God, the Abba Father is present, moving and keeping His promises. Do you look forward to it?
What do you anticipate this Advent season as you prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus? Do you trust and believe that God will keep His promises to you this Christmas? Our God is creative and when we seek Him, He promises we will find Him!
Spend this first Sunday of Advent and write down what you might expect of God. What promises will you lean upon? What hopes do you have?
When it's Christmas day, look back at what you anticipated. The end result is way better than one of my teams.

Learning To Bridge The Gap
Costain recently gave a group of school children an insight into the intricacies of bridge construction by hosting a couple of site visits to two spanning structures in and around London.
Costain welcomed 21 pupils, together with David Taylor, their design teacher, from Grey Court School in Richmond-Upon-Thames. The first site visit was to the award-winning Walton Bridge in Surrey while the second visit, later in the day, was to the Hammersmith Flyover in London, one of the busiest arterial routes in the capital.
Officially handed over to Surrey County Council in July 2013, the £32.4 million Walton Bridge spans the River Thames between Shepperton and Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. It is the first road bridge in the UK to be wholly designed and fabricated to new European Standards. Hosted by Site Foreman Andy Adaway and Engineer Pete Brown, the students saw first-hand how the single span bridge, which was designed by Atkins, is supported from two arches by hangers.
The pupils then went to see the Hammersmith Flyover which, at its peak, carries around 90,000 vehicles each day over the central Hammersmith gyratory system, a four-lane A4 arterial road linking the west to central London. Costain is currently strengthening and replacing the existing post tensioning strands with a new system.
The students saw for themselves how intricate a spanning structure can be. Hammersmith's bridge deck is supported on a single central row of piers comprising 16 spans — eleven at a length of 42.7 metres, two at 30.5m, two of 36.6m and one at 22.6m — giving a total length of 626m. The approach ramps at either end increase the total length to 863m.
The event was organised in conjunction with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) as part of its Building Bridges CREST Challenge, which aims to help young people discover their passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematic subjects (STEM).
As part of the Building Bridges CREST Challenge, the students are required to design a bridge while considering a number of client and environmental requirements. Amongst some of the requirements, the structure has to include a single carriageway, two-way bridge joining two towns, and it must cross a river in a way that minimises damage to the river banks and the species that live there, which are very similar to the challenges that civil engineers face on major construction projects.
Tom King, a Graduate Engineer, and Billy Welch, an Apprentice Engineer, acted as the main guides at Hammersmith. Tom, who is planning to visit the school soon to assist with the CREST task, said the quantity and quality of the questions from the students really conveyed their enthusiasm.
"CREST is an excellent opportunity to not only teach engineering practice but to inspire the potential budding engineers of tomorrow. Many at their age have no idea of what an engineer does, so site visits and STEM exercises are invaluable in providing those first steps into an engineer's world. You never know, some of the pupils may end up providing engineering solutions for Costain," said Tom.
Tom was commended by the CITB for being a natural teacher and an excellent ambassador for the civil engineering sector.
"Tom's presentation was pitched just right for this particular group of students. I was particularly impressed by the way Tom used a mixture of simple props, in a fun way, to demonstrate some of the complicated civil engineering challenges at the Hammersmith Flyover project," said Frederick Titterington, Strategic Partnership Adviser at the CITB.

Everything you know about gamification is wrong. Gamification is NOT about points and badges and leaderboards. Putting points and badges on top of systems that were not designed to be game-like is like welding wheels on a bicycle. It looks from a distance like it will work, but the results are guaranteed to disappoint.
Ayogo CEO Michael Fergusson joined the PCPCC on April 23 at noon EST to walk through the fundamentals of game psychology to show others how they can utilize these crucial building blocks in their own patient engagement projects.

Ashland University fifth-year senior guard Ben Haraway was named the GLIAC South Player of the Week the league office announced on Monday (Jan. 21) afternoon.
It is the first conference weekly award in Haraway's career. He is the third Eagle to win the award this season after redshirt-sophomore guard Aaron Thompson and junior guard Rodrick Caldwell won it back-to-back on Dec. 3 and 10, respectively.
Haraway averaged 15 points, six rebounds and four assists in No. 8 Ashland's two wins last week against Saginaw Valley and Northwood. He also committed just one turnover in 75 minutes for an 8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Norwalk, Ohio native scored 13 points and had six rebounds and four assists last Thursday as Ashland toppled the Cardinals, 83-61. He was 5-for-10 from the field, including 2-for-4 from 3-point range.
In Saturday's 75-60 win over Northwood, Haraway scored 17 points to go with six rebounds, four assists and a block and steal. He was 6-for-7 from the free throw line and 5-for-13 from the floor.
The Eagles (15-1, 9-1 GLIAC) will play Ohio-Chillicothe on Tuesday (Jan. 22) at 6 p.m. at Kates Gymnasium. GLIAC play resumes on Saturday (Jan. 26) at Wayne State.

About Us and 118 Golf
Why We Love Vijay Singh
This leading golf player comes from Fiji and is known for his durability. He has won a total of 34 tournaments and is an ambassador for the game of golf. Vijay Singh has scored an impressive 53.49 points during his career. People who are wondering what makes Vijay Singh so special and why he deserves to be featured as one of the world's most celebrated golfing legends should read on to find out more about him.
Vijay Singh is in fact the only world class golfer to hail from Fiji and this makes him not only a national symbol, but also an example for the people of Fiji of what can be achieved when you are determined and passionate enough to never give up. Vijay Singh was lucky to be born into a golfing family as even though his father worked as an airplane technician, he taught golf in his spare time and was able to pass on his skills and passion for the sport to his son.
Vijay Singh says that his golf hero is Tom Weiskopf, who he admired as a child. Singh used Weiskopf's trademark swing as an early model to form his own, which seems to have really helped him develop his own style over the years. However, Singh is also known for his extremely rigorous practice routine and he has put countless hours into honing his skills over the years.
Singh formerly held a highly coveted club professional position in the nation of Borneo and is still a powerful icon among the people of nation. He comes from Indian ancestry and in fact his name means victory in Hindi, a legacy that many people believe means that he was born to succeed. These days Vijay Singh dedicates much of his time in helping other people to achieve greatness and he has established a number of charities including the Vijay Singh Charitable Foundation to provide women and children who have suffered from domestic abuse with the support they need.
