Overnight Open Thread (3-3-2015)

Thanks to CAC for filling in last night with very short notice. All of us should help out with AOSHQDD on the next election to say thank you for all he does around here.

Do Not Mess With Former Major League Baseball Star Curt Schilling's Daughter

Because he has a very particular set of skills which include the four-seam fastball, the split-finger fastball as well as tracking down and putting the hurt on Twitter trolls who tweeted vile things to his daughter. And it turns out that not only is Schilling an amazing ball player, but that he's also quite computer savvy, a very loving and protective father, an interesting writer, and a general mensch. (H/T Jim Geraghty's Morning Jolt)

Now I've been using computers since 1981. I was a professional baseball player for 22 years. I played 10+ years in Philadelphia. I played 5 in Boston. I shared a locker room with well over a thousand teammates and I played and lived at school a year before doing so.

That's all to say I am absolutely aware of social media and how it works. As someone who's said about 2.34 billion things he shouldn't have, I get it.

...Now let me emphasize again. I was a jock my whole life. I played sports my whole life. Baseball since I was 5 until I retired at 41. I know clubhouses. I lived in a dorm. I get it. Guys will be guys. Guys will say dumb crap, often. But I can't ever remember, drunk, in a clubhouse, with best friends, with anyone, ever speaking like this to someone.
This is a generation of kids who have grown up behind the monitor and keyboard. The real world has consequences when you do and say things about others. We're at a point now where you better be sure who you're going after.

If I was a deranged protective dad I could have been face to face with any of these people in less than 4 hours. I know every one of their names, their parents, where they go to school, what they do, what team they are on, their positions, stats, all of it. I had to do almost nothing to get ANY of that information because it is all public.

What part of talking about a young woman, my daughter or not, makes you even consider the possibility that this is either funny or makes you tough?

I found it rather funny at how quickly tone changed when I heard via email from a few athletes who'd been suspended by their coaches. Gone was the tough guy tweeter, replaced by the "I'm so sorry apology used by those only sorry because they got caught.

It was EXACTLY like the Scared Straight episodes you watch where "tough" kids get brought to tears when they face the real world.

What these kids are failing to realize, what this generation fails to realize is this; Everything they've just said and done? That is out there now, forever. It can, and in some cases will, follow them for the rest of their lives.

How Spock Became a Sex Symbol

That's why he fit the part of Spock. "All I wanted at first was pointed ears and a faintly satanic appearance," said series creator Gene Roddenberry in "The Making of Star Trek," published in 1968.

Spock's "alien features" - as Roddenberry called them in the book - weren't limited to prostheses. Nimoy was handsome, but not in a way that Hollywood in 1966 recognized. He didn't look like a leading man. He looked like what he was: the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. And if you looked like that, you were a character actor, not a star.

But Nimoy became a star. He was a Method actor and in creating Spock, he gave what could have been a gimmicky, two-dimensional character hidden depths. Those hidden depths in turn gave him sex appeal. Within the show's plots, Captain Kirk was the lady killer. But Spock was the one who made female viewers swoon.

Did Humans and Wolves Team Up to Kill Off the Neanderthals?

An interesting theory and an explanation for why the more robust long dominant Neanderthals were driven to extinction by modern humans leaving only a bit of their genes in most Europeans.

Modern humans formed an alliance with wolves soon after we entered Europe, argues Shipman. We tamed some and the dogs we bred from them were then used to chase prey and to drive off rival carnivores, including lions and leopards, that tried to steal the meat.

"Early wolf-dogs would have tracked and harassed animals like elk and bison and would have hounded them until they tired," said Shipman. "Then humans would have killed them with spears or bows and arrows.

"This meant the dogs did not need to approach these large cornered animals to finish them off -- often the most dangerous part of a hunt -- while humans didn't have to expend energy in tracking and wearing down prey. Dogs would have done that. Then we shared the meat. It was a win-win situation."

Welcome to Pornmark

Denmark has a history of being ahead of the curve on the acceptance of porn. The country lifted a ban on pornography in 1967 and two years later, Denmark became the first country in the world to completely legalize it.

Today, porn is fairly mainstream in Denmark. According to a survey from October, three fourths of Danish men and a third of Danish women watch porn.

Schilling posted a tweet saying something like "So proud of my daughter who just got accepted to college and will be playing softball"

He named the college though. That was it. Completely harmless, non offensive tweet recognizing his daughter's achievement.

Some Internet Tough Guys started with the "oh I need to get her number " bit, and then it turned really dark really fast and people who hate him because of his baseball history, or his political stance, or whatever started going into *very* explicit details about what they wanted to do to his daughter (rape, mostly).

He tracked their asses down and broadcast their information, leading to suspensions from schools and firings. Twas a thing of beauty.,

42 Smoothie,
Your welcome I told the doctor I was a little disappointed I wouldn't lose my hair. Prior to chemo my hair was long and straight. The Ettes will know of what I speak when I say after chemo when my hair came back in it had lots of body and curl which is a dream when you have problem hair. I never could get my hair to do anything but just hang there. So I figured third time would be a charm and hair would be even curlier. Ha doc had to laugh at me.

MH, Johnson has been teh suck? Admit it is too painful and infuriating for me to follow things as I once did (hell, worked there and around it for years), but I had assumed Johnson would be one of the few non-disappointments in the world's greatest deliberative body. Actual life and career outside politics, actually doing something productive, etc.

What has he done, or has he just not done anything in the face of the GOP's pathetic performance?

I just wanted the temp to drop a couple of degrees so the rain would solidify and bounce off. On a positive note, it was like having an ice bath as I ran. Didn't get too sore afterwards.

Driving is horrible & Newton is only city according to local news to have crews out to move snow from,water dams for when,I hope,,snow turns to rain.

Boston mayor wants citizens to do it as part of community. I don't think it's going to happen.

Neither Curt schillings daughter, the kardashians, or anyone else. If you are stupid enough to threaten rape, you deserve to lose your job, or place at college. if schillings actions cause some douchebag to think twice before typing something vile, then he did a good thing.

Tried to catech you the other night. Looking at a Mazda, pretty sure that's what you'd chosen (and similar reason: stick).

Is that right? And if so, how do you rate it so far?
Posted by: speedster1 on the (new) ipad at March 03, 2015 10:53 PM (1brdf)



Yes, I bought a Mazda 5 last July. It's sort of a mini-minivan. I wanted something with cargo capacity. I like it fine so far. The only complaint I have is that the local gas mileage isn't as good as I hoped. It was advertised as 21 city and 28 highway. I've been getting 18-20 local. But the one road trip I took I got 31 on the highway, which is pretty good. Unfortunately almost all of my driving is local. But I don't do a whole lot of driving, so it's not like I'm going to go broke putting gas in it.

I've read that Mazda is going to discontinue the 5 in the U.S. due to poor sales. I think the 2014 model is the last one, so you might be able to get a good deal. That model will still be made for the European and Asian markets, where it is more popular.

Besides the Mazda 5, there is also the Mazda 3 compact sedan and hatchback, and the Mazda 6, which is a larger sedan. I've heard that they both get better mileage than the 5, which is heavier. Apparently there is also a Mazda 6 wagon which is sold overseas, but not in the U.S.

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought.

As few as Rex has, it's pretty well represented compared to others. All you need is one, really to establish that it existed. Some have been known for a long time, but for one reason or another, have little to their name, like Spinosaurus and Megalosaurus. I'm not sure what you mean about structural work being suspect... yeah, up to a point... there's only so much you can be sure about with fossils, so it's always an ongoing debate. But, foundation stuff can be determined.

I admit to being an imbecile but, look, dude; they had the links to the peer-reviewed Nature articles right there. Have you even read a book about DNA / genomics / cladistics recently? Pitched to the moron-level (a step above my level which we're agreed is "imbecile")?

Lemme try - I'm not very bright so I'll just try to give this out simply. (I expect to be laughed at by the in-house biologists.)

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism ; SNP for short (pronounced "snip"). These are switches in our genetic code. The more of them between us, the less we're related. They change at a more-or-less constant rate over time; so we (whites) know we're slightly less related to Asians, and both of us to Aborigines, and all three of us to most Africans, and ALL of us to the Neanderthal-Denisovan common ancestor.

360 Fourth Horseman
I used to waste 1/2 hour, maybe more blow drying hair only to have it curl & frizz. Hair stylist I started with before 1999 made me appreciate natural waves/semi curls.
I still kept blow drying it until we lost power in early 2002 & I had no choice & have never wasted that time again drying hair.
I have to use spray gel, comb through, add more & leave alone for just right time & then fluff. Timing is everything.

It's best if I keep it short & curls right up. It's fine & curly /wavy in back & left side. Right side isn't as curly.

409 I'm bidding to install a roof for a customer, who's full time job is diggin' dinosaur bones. He quite literally, has a covered patio of about 600 sq. ft., absolutely covered in fossils which he himself dug out of the earth, both in the Dakotas and Oklahoma.

I did ask him quite directly, if those skulls and femurs and such were now just pure mineral, or was there any actually any dinosaur still in there?

To which, he showed me a large (over 4' long) femur, which he was re-assembling from some fractured pieces. In that he had to do some drilling and grinding to insert metal rods and epoxy, he showed me how to tell the actual, ancient bone from the deposited mineral portions, and how they both existed together in the same fossil, looking much like some poorly mixed cream n' coffee.

His backyard had an untold fortune in museum grade fossils, and he knew each and every tiny bit of 'em, and the physiology of each critter, right down to the finest detail.

A whole bunch of what you see in the Houston museums, is his work.

But yeah..... a lot of those fossils are real, gen-ye-wine Dinosaur bits. He even finds mummified tissue on some of them. Seen it with my own eyes, and touched it with mine own hands.

What he does, is very impressive.

And as for the age of the dinosaurs? That's another discussion. Suffice to say, that Leviticus has some things to say about some giants that used to hang around here, and the original language in Genesis where the "World was without form, and void".....those words, "form" and "void", are said to be from the same root for "judged" and "condemned".

The Genesis world was a flooded one, just as Noah's became flooded.

God didn't promise Noah to not ever judge the world again. He just said he wouldn't do it with water.

Next one is fire, amigos y' amigas. Keep that in mind when you wanna "Let it Burn?"

Frankly, I think any Bible believing Christian should understand that the Earth is indeed, ancient beyond words.

Just like the millenials, always thinking history started with them, right?

The thing is, a brushback is generally to be preferred to a full-on attack. I could well see a conversation that went something like:

*Your daughter pulls up across the street, parks, and walks to corner*

Neighbor: "Oh, man, I'd bang that like a screen door in a hurricane."

You: [frostily]: "That's my daughter."

Neighbor: "....after a suitable courtship and with her approval after I made her feel like the most special woman in the world."

Note that this example is also far less of a provocation than what Curt Schilling responded to.

449 So when my wife calls me a Neanderthal she has a point?

Maybe you could learn some Mongolian . . .

BTW anyone else notice that "Conan" had a lot of Asian actors in it? The sidekick, the wizard, not to mention the fencing-masters. I don't remember all this in Robert Howard's books. The Hyborean world was more European. Lots more.

The books' setting was more civilised too - the Asians in the movie were dressed like Mongols, not like the guys in "Hero" (or even "Flash Gordon").

Almost like the original "Conan" script was a Temujin or Attila epic, and later retrofitted to Howard's stories.

Exactly. That was a simplified first order definition back in the day, but with a stack of caveats and exceptions. Kinda like in high school astronmy you might talk about a planet orbiting the sun in a circle, but move up a level and it's ellipses and barycenters.

The modern definition of species is based on descent, traits and DNA, to the extent it can be defined. The way genes jump about from critter to critter in the real world, things get kinda fuzzy around the edges.

Yep, and for girlfriends too.....to say someone is sexually attractive to the point where an ardent lover might get frantic isn't really insulting and/or degrading -- though it might be a bit uncouth.

Of course, that's a far cry from acting on such an impulse. When you expand it out to: "I would bang her like a screen door in a hurricane if she'd let me.", it loses some verve.

Now I had my lawyers go over this and according to them hookers and strippers are defined professions and not activities per se. So as long as no money is exchanged for any acts, sex and nude dancing would not be forbidden under this clause. I like their legal theory but I'm not so sure it would hold up in WifeCourt. :-)

Got to talk with one of the test pilots for the F6F Hellcat today (pretty sure that was it). He is 100%, in his early 90s. He'd flown a zillion types, of course, covering the prop and jet eras. His favorite plane? F4U Corsair.

Said among other things as an instructor he'd taught Tyrone Power formation flying at Corpus Christi, and also had two Heisman Trophy winners among his students (one played for U. of Minnesota, Bruce Smith/Heisman 1941; Smithasked this guy, who was from Michigan - "is that a problem for me?").

Anyway, my love for this country's past, almost daily, is grinding against my low and plunging regard for it today. Talking with WWII vets, as I try to do often, now often as not just leaves me more sad than inspired, as previously.

Both my girls were very...developed...for their years, not to mention that they can actually hold a conversation without sounding like a bimbo. So guys older than them would mistake them for being adults. Throw them in formal dresses, yeah...I had to run interference, as well as their dad, who really wanted his shotgun at the time...

M249 - a few months back I did some very conscientious eavesdropping and observation and managed to absorb most of the briefing for basic operation of the M249 - feeding, jams, barrel-changing, etc. Navy EOD team was getting their basic training and trigger time at a range where I'm an RO. Unfortunately it was the main range, most "public" of them all, so no trigger time for me. At one of our other, more private ranges I think they'd have given me a few bursts to play with.

Military history, that's what I'm referring to. Sheesh.

Have been to almost every WWII-related military museum/site in Japan (there actually are some now, big change from years back). Highly recommend all of them, esp. Chiran in Kyushu (kamikaze "tokutai" special attack squadron base).
Posted by: rhomboid at March 04, 2015 12:04 AM (afQnV)


Yep Kansai area as well. And yes she totally indulges my all quirky interests too. For instance she's not really into guns but she's always a good sport if I drag her to a gun show or shop we happen to pass by. Likewise for my radio interests, rock collection, desire to keep bees, or whatever other interest takes my fancy.

One nice thing is that in Japanese culture the wife rules the kitchen and household in general. That's her domain and she doesn't expect me to help out with cooking or cleaning. Likewise anything mechanical, structural, car-related, financial or otherwise unpleasant is my domain and she expects me to just take care of it.

Now most American couples tend to fall into this patten over time anyway - only with a lot of feminist expectation angst/conflict along the way. The nice part is that since this pattern is totally normal in Japanese culture, we could skip that whole step and neither one of us feels like we're getting a bad deal in the marriage responsibility area.

Of course no mystery that the Little Satan and their historical enemies would stand shoulder to shoulder on the question of Persian nukes. But as a one-time full-time observer of such things I'd opine that this is, I dunno .... BIG. As in significant, not surprising.

If you pointed a pristine S ampersand W Model 19 2.5-inch revolver at my head right now, after asking how much you wanted for it I'd say:

* the US is as recklessly clueless as most, even the Gulfies, are now saying
* this ridiculous group of unfit empty suit freaks in the Beltway will persist with their idiocy, and do their deal with Tehran
* Congress will not be able to interfere, for reasons that are actually a long-standing constitutional gray area, not one of the multiple brand new gaping holes ripped in our system by this admin. - through which torrents of misrule, damage, and injustice are now pouring .....
* Israel will be forced to act, and will act
* Arab states will actively cooperate with Israel in this; quietly of course, but adding an amusing new item to the list of History's Worst Kept Secrets
* Iran will retaliate via Hezbollah - but may end up breaking that spear, as Hezbollah may be facingexistential threat in this episode (can you say moving the security cordon down from and beyond the Golan, and a less kind, gentle bit of Israeli military tourism up to the Litani?)

A couple of thoughts. One about cross breeding. Mules. Mules cannot reproduce. Smaller than a horse and bigger than a donkey and strong as a .... Mule.
I cannot see any conflict between evolution theory and creation theory. The six thousand year thing was a Pope that figured out all the begats and lived to nine hundred and that's the figure he came up with. He was a mortal man and could not know the plan of God. And the six day thing? What is a day to God? There are more than one creation theory and they all start with Adam or a reasonable facsimile there of. And many of them start with an area that is now at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Creation theory only covers a small number of verses in the Bible. They were in a hurry to get to Adam, because that was the important part. The other thirteen billion years was just prelude.

One of my best friends in High School lived at this condo complex. I was over hanging out by the pool at his place and this girl walks in wearing a bikini -- and I can tell you that she was built like a burlap bag full of bobcats....there were cosines and arctangents oscillating in all sorts of fascinating harmonic and contrapuntal ways. [Mind you, I graduated High School at 16, and this was a couple of years prior -- so I had just as much idea of what to do as a dog would if he actually caught a fire-engine....but the "eyes-locking-on" and "tracking" and "everything else fading away" behaviors start early.]

And, from a very great distance, I hear my friend's voice say, "Nice, huh? She's thirteen." Rat bastard. He could have just hit me over the head with the pool cleaner and startled me less.

Evidently, she had moved in about a year previously and just about every unattached male in the complex had believed her to be a very nicely packaged 18-19 year-old, which she played-up to the hilt....until something would give her away and the guy would discover an immediate (and lasting) need to be elsewhere -- 'cause she was fascinating to watch.

600 The two parties in D.C. may as well combine into The Ruling Party and declare our God-King dictator for life. For once in their lives they would be honest. They would get to rule until there is a military coup, a second revolution or, more likely, they fold themselves into a one-world government.

Probably because Obama has told them what the decision needs to be and they can't figure out a way to reach that. Because if Bergdal was not a traitor to this country and his uniform his head would not be connected to his neck.

608 Country Singer. I'll do what I can for you. I have some small success on a local Councilman's campaign staff.

Speech writing, working up index-carded talking points, some definite "outside the box" anti-Rovian thinking. I turned a mostly black neighborhood to turn out the winning margin for said councilman. And that included them voting against a "Sharpton" type, two term incumbent Councilman.

And pandering wasn't the winning approach, either. Feel free to reach me, addy is in my nic.

I was late to the party, myself, in a lot of ways -- didn't really develop chest hair until about 25, facial hair at about 21 (....and I still can't grow a beard without looking like I've got radiation sickness). But this girl was seriously bodacious at an age where I'd more expect playing with dolls.

The point being, you were entirely right to be protective -- and the boyz who were sniffing around weren't necessarily curbstompable fuckstains unless and until they demonstrated that they wouldn't take a hint. I'm glad that the youngsters did, by-and-large.

614 Today has been an unsettled day. Netanyahu's speech was good. The Dem response, even by those that weren't there was obviously rehearsed. They had to cover King Putt's ass. Nothing more than lemmings following him over the cliff. Boner's capitulation on the DHS funding bill and the Dem's rejoicing over that. Repub's control the House and the Senate and the Dem's get their way, no matter what. And it's snowing again. Four foot icicles on my front porch and more is coming in. I'm tired. I'm tired of our lackluster leadership in the House and the Senate. I'm tired of a tyrannical President, with the Dem's and the media covering his ass at every step. And I'm tired of snow. I'm tired of the gorebull enwarmening assholes screeching about how I'm destroying the planet, then lying about their data to prove their point. How did we come to be here? Me. I'm the problem. I've voted Repub since I first registered to vote, but I didn't pay attention to what they were doing. I was so busy living day to day that I didn't notice the long march through the institutions. I never thought that there were people who so despised the United States and what it stood for that they would try to bring it to its knees. I'm sorry America. I failed you. And I'm tired of snow.

Actually, in a grimly perverse bit of humor -- you wouldn't really need to have Texas secede; or the 37 (2/3!) states that rejected Obamacare exchanges secede; or the red states secede......if you just nuked Washington, D.C. -- and that's what we're bitching about Bumbles O'fucktard facilitating with Iran today.

Maybe we should just challenge the Mullahs to nuclear Irish Stand-down, so long as their first shot is to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW. We'd be a different nation by the second shot.

Brother in law married a woman with 2 daughters about 10 years ago. Oldest daughter was 12 at the time they met, youngest was 8. When my sister first saw the 12 year old, she thought she was 18. Then at my BIL's wedding to the girls mother a yearish later, oldest daughter was maid of honor, wearing a dress the two other bridesmaids were wearing. Needless to say, the now 14 year old was getting hit on by guys in their 20's who had no idea how old she really was.

The youngest one? She looked all of her 8 years old until she turned 14, then she looked like a 20 year old.

662 Country Singer, Senator is a different ballgame. Esp. in a State with several media markets. It can be done, but you'll need:

1. A compelling story.
2. Be very media savvy, name recognition alone is a problem
3. Being rich, filthy stinking rich wouldn't hurt.
4. Get really lucky, ie. the incumbent gets caught in a fountain with a hooker, the week before the primary.

All that being said ... if you wanna knock out a Senator - you got do it before they get deeply ensconced and everyone owes them a favor. It quickly becomes, yeah he's an ass - but he has Seniority.

Huge changes coming to college education industry soon.

Bammer thinks that making community college "free" will solve all problems, but it won't. The whole college tuition system just doesn't work.

Today, a smaller college nearby announced that it was closing at the end of the school year. This college's students are usually the daughters of the wealthy, and it just doesn't have the finances to make it anymore. US citizens just aren't going to pay $150K for their daughter's educations. The school has been accepting more foreign students because they can charge them more, and they aren't worried about writing that check for $150K, but those students don't feel the "connection" with the school to write out donation checks after they graduate.

All of this makes me realize that for any college to be successful raising money, they need a football team. It really seems to strengthen alumni's ties to their school.

A decade ago, our Iowa county started to get slammed with identity theft. Illegal immigration had always been a minor problem, but with wider use of the internet and increasingly open borders, the sheriff's department found itself swamped with tracking down the actual identities of the people they'd pulled over. It's still a huge problem, and the GOP is delusional if they think amnesty is going to fix such problems.

The level of scrutiny when you run for US Senate is so much higher than when you run for US Rep. Unless you want almost every detail of your life picked over, best go for the US Rep.

Remember, the media will ask people you went to high school, college or worked with lots of questions about you. Lots of people from your past aren't Republicans, hate Republicans, and will be happy to trash you to further the Democrats.

Plus, get someone who is media savvy to help you. Not just someone who can buy advertising, but someone who knows exactly how to conduct yourself in an interview such as how to answer questions, when to stop talking, and how to look comfortable being interviewed. Too many candidates look bad doing this, and they get marginalized.

Looking at the list from post #629, the last 43 R's are in R+4 or less districts. If you are in a district about as evenly split, you might have an excellent chance, as the incumbent is probably in a lot of trouble from today's "Failure Theater".

Watch for "'splainin'". Take notes and save video.

Link the pain everyone feels to his votes and failures. Make it clear that, no matter what he says, he just wants to be reelected. He will still vote the same way.

They made hard disks -- the Winchester drive was invented here, and Seagate, Shugart, Western Digital, Maxtor.....all local.



Then they made chipsets -- Erector Sets for actually doing things. Companies like VLSI, Adaptec, AMD....




They made add-on boards and BIOSs and networking equipment and test gear. Silicon Valley in the 90s was a riot.




But now, the predominant industry in Silicon Valley is spying on people. Google monitors your searches; Facebook whores out your friends; Apple is the Borg; Twitter automates PC shaming.




Somewhere out there is the notion that you do something that people want, and delight them by giving it to them for less than they'd dream possible.....but it's not in Silicon Valley. Here, it's some creepy guy saying, "based on your use of Mastercard instead of VISA, your zip code, your porn search habits, your bank balance, and your employment status, you can get some coupons for Kraft shredded cheese with every grande latte at Starbucks."

It's a pain but worthwhile. Make sure all your privacy settings are "friends only" and be careful - your shouting from your front porch.

I'm ambivalent about it at times, it can negatively affect the psyche for sure, but it has replaced Internet forums for many club/group activities and can be good for dispersed families. Twitter, OTOH, I left behind months ago and don't miss it at all - it's a mob ...

I wish it were a "nice one". The next bunch of happy, clever, world-changing innovations are going to come from somewhere, and it won't be from Silicon Valley unless it's totalitarian groupthink. Back in the 90s, you could get into friendly arguments about networking standards in a supermarket checkout line.....now, everything is data-mining and closely-hoarded. If someone mentioned, "we're looking into purchasing differences between chicken thighs and boneless breasts as a signifier for laundry soap preferences", ED-209 would step out of the shadows and eliminate him.

I was goofing on you, of course. The Horde is both incredibly complex, yet very simple (boobies!); with a truly insane level of embedded expertise....yet a bunch of Morons. I don't find it particularly frightening or intimidating, because I can mostly channel/surf its will -- but I will concede the power within.

A while back, Joffen's sister came to the Horde and conjured it -- and that was a bit frightening. She was conflicted, felt one thing and asked for another.....and such was her natural charisma and the Horde's love for her brother, she got what she asked for in abundance. While it may have been a healing experience overall, she ultimately decided to withdraw from the echoes of her brother's loss....but only after the Horde was stirred into activity. It is a good thing that she did not invoke something truly dreadful.

In the meantime, however, we're just a bunch of convivial goofballs......and we're damned glad to have you with us.
