Dazzler, seeking combat training, approaches the X-Men for help. While most of the team welcomes her, Wolverine refuses to help her, claiming that she only wants to play superhero during her career slump. She holds her own during their Danger Room session, showing significant improvement, and earns an invitation to the X-Men. When Wolverine continues to object, Dazzler insists they have one final test: a surprise trial by combat in the field, whenever he chooses. Dazzler moves back to the West Coast and resumes her life as a lounge singer. While lifting weights one day, Wolverine and Colossus attack her by surprise. She staves them off long enough to change into her new superhero outfit, which lets her better control her powers, and takes the fight to the shore, away from civilians. There, she manages to neutralize Colossus and score a coup de main against Wolverine, thus signifying the end of the trial. Still, Wolverine insists on fighting, so Cyclops neutralizes him. Dazzler leaves, having proven herself to her toughest critic. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter named O.Z. Chase receives his latest mark from a mysterious client. That mark—the Dazzler!
Some people will tell you it's the roughest bar in San Francisco's Mission District, which most people will tell you is rough enough. It's not a bar that outsiders stumble into by chance. And heaven help them if they enter by choice. Its customers always seem to be waiting for the next big score, the next bust, the next brawl. Small time, big time…criminals, fugitives…they thrive securely in the mean, sullen atmosphere.
Most days. Today, the bar has an unexpected—and unwelcome—visitor: a large, gray wolf, who sits at the end of the bar, licking his menacing chops. As soon as the bartender sees him, he startles and backs away.
Later, some will claim it was a small bear. Others, an amazingly large timber wolf. For all, all will charge for the back door without bothering to speculate.
As the patrons burst out the front door, a man standing on top of the building lowers a lasso and ropes his target: a tough, black-haired man wearing a ponytail. The lasso loops around this man's neck and left wrist, and his captor swiftly yanks him onto the roof. "Hush," his captor—a silver-haired bounty hunter—whispers to him. "You don't wanna disturb your drinkin' buddies in mid-run. Might give 'em a real bad Charley horse t'stop short an' come back to see what the noise is," he says. "Might also make my finger twitch on the hair trigger of this sawed-off shotgun you're usin' for a chin-rest. That'd mean bringin' you back to Los Angeles without a head—an' some folks might have trouble believin' you were really Wesley Long, wanted for armed robbery an' skippin' on a 40K bailbond."
The bounty hunter forces Wesley down the ladder at gunpoint. Wesley asks if he's some kind of law. "Just a private businessman, Wes," the man answers. "O.Z. Chase, bounty hunter. You're worth 10 percent of that bail you ran out on." Wesley reminds his captor that doesn't mean he'll necessarily collect that money; he's not in L.A. yet, after all. He offers these tough words a moment too soon, as the timber wolf emerges from the shadow a second later, striking fear into Wes.
"Okay, boy. Into the truck. You're scarin' Mr. Long," O.Z. says to the wolf. It doesn't budge. "Hey! I said into the truck, you ornery beast!" Still, the wolf refuses to move. Finally, O.Z. relents, pulls a Cuban cigar out of his front pocket, and tosses it to the wolf. It chomps down on the cigar enthusiastically and devours it whole. "Disgustin', ain't it? I hate that animal. Just lucky his taste in beer runs cheap—otherwise, I'd never have gotten 'im into that bar tonight." Wes cowers as O.Z. nudges him into his truck, where the wolf currently sits. He doesn't expect him to ride beside that monster, does he? O.Z. tells him he could tie him to the fender like a dead deer, but the civil liberties union always complains when he does that. Besides, he'll be okay—if he doesn't crowd the wolf or move around too much. He'll be safe in an L.A. holding cell soon, he says. The sooner the better, Wesley replies.
Wes asks O.Z. what he calls the wolf. O.Z. hardly bothers to call him anything at all; he's too contrary to respond. He explains that a fellow he know left the wolf with him as a marker on a debt. That guy called him Cerberus. In Greek legend, he explains, Cerberus is the beast who guards the gates of Hades—at least he hopes it's legend.
With that, Chase gets on his C.B. radio and checks in with his transponder. He asks if they have any more marks for him. A big firm—U.S. Bail Bonds—has been calling for him, the receiver says. They want him to go after a very special individual in San Diego—for a very special bonus. "Real fine, darlin'," O.Z. responds. "Tell 'em I'm comin' home."
The Hotel Coronado in San Diego Harbor is an elegant holdover from the last century—and never more so than at sunset, when the beach grows deserted expect by those who appreciate the fading sunlight and the peaceful quiet—while they last.
Today, a brawny, dark-haired man sits on the beach, listening to his Walkman while he soaks in the sunlight. His associate Logan approaches. He tells Petey their vacation is over; it's time to get to work. Standing between Peter Rasputin and the sunlight, Logan tells him to turn off that concert. As he says this, however, he accurately identifies the music. It's her, he barks! He's listening to her on that tape! Peter replies that it's beautiful music; she has a fascinating voice. Undeterred, Logan unsheathes his claws and destroys Peter's Walkman. "Friendly advice, bub," he says. "—when you've come to hunt, don't get sentimental about the prey."
Elsewhere, at Harborsite Motel—which boasts its Dazzler concerts as an exclusive engagement—Dazzler lifts weights in the weight room. The establishment's manager tracks her down mid-lift and tells her everyone's looking for her. The very least she can do, he says, is make herself a bit more…available. Dazzler, still lifting, reminds him she's in his lounge for every performance and rehearsal. She doesn't cut either one short. However, any time she has left is her own. The manager replies that they're talking guys who just wanna share a few drinks and have a couple of giggles. They're talking business, he says—the kind of thing that keeps the spenders coming back for more. Alison tells him to check his contract—all those little typed words they both signed. It says he hired a singer, not a B-girl.
"I hired a mutant, doll! There's plenty who wouldn't," the manager snaps back. He expects a return on his favor. His regulars are connected, he adds—as in mob-connected. Some of them invest in his place. It excites them cozying up to a real, live mutant. Oblige them, he insists. Dazzler, flinging her sweaty towel in his face, tells him he got a class act at a cut rate because of what she is. She warns him not to push his luck beyond that. Angered, the manager sics his bodyguard, Truck, after her. She knows nothing about gratitude, he says to the towering man. Talk to her!
Truck obliges his boss with glee. Grabbing Dazzler by the arms, he pulls her in close to his face and tells her he likes to work close when he talks. "Truck," Dazzler tells him, "you're about to be cured of that." She unleashes a full-body blast of light into his face, repelling and blinding him. Her strobe light hits him with an intensity that sends the big man reeling and crashing into the mirrored wall. Now that they've talked about gratitude, she says to her manager, how about they try respect. The manager cowers. Trembling, he reminds Dazzler she hasn't collected her pay yet and begs her not to hurt him. In response, she tells the little man to take this job—and turn blue. With that, she casts a refractory blue pall over his face that causes him to appear blue when he looks in the mirror. Horrified, he runs out of the gym, screaming. Dazzler stands triumphant.
Behind her, a man begins to clap—much to her surprise. She pivots around and sees the X-Men's Wolverine, fully garbed, crouching on a balance beam. "Nice touch, the blue light," he says. "But it was overkill with the big bozo. Waster power you're gonna need—facin' me." He unsheathes his claws with a characteristic SNIKT! His name is Wolverine and he's the best he is at what he does. Even among his peers, the mutant super heroes known as the X-Men, few can match his him at fighting—and winning. Still, here in this hotel spa, aided by her own mutant ability to absorb sound waves and convert them into any form of light, Alison Blaire is about to give it her very best try.
Do buy herself some time, Dazzler fires a plasma beam at a nearby weight rack. It collapses between herself and her attacker. Then, she begins to run. Until she regains the initiative, she better make this a running battle, she tells herself. The problem with that, though, is what—or whom—she might run into.
As she darts out of the room, she runs headfirst into the X-Men's Colossus, already in his steel-coated form. As much as it pains him to be a part of this, Colossus says, they couldn't send just one X-Man for the task! Dazzler guesses she should be flattered. However, with his size, his strength, and his body that can shift into living steel, she decides she'll have to play it sneaky instead. She fires a beam of light at his eyes, momentarily dazzling him, then slips between his legs. She only makes it a few meters before Colossus smashes his fist into the ground, sending a shockwave through the concrete that lifts Dazzler off her feet. As he does this, Colossus tells her playing it sneaky won't be enough—at least not with the mistakes she's making, such as letting Logan force her outdoors, away from an easy source of sound like the motel's Muzak system.
Dazzler, grabbing the hose used to fill the swimming pool, asks if he's sure that's a mistake. Maybe it's the musician in her, she says, but moving farther away from that so-called music might be the only fringe benefit of this surprise attack! Besides, Colossus should know by now that Dazzler can easily store energy within her body and release it later, at her will.
Unbeknownst to all parties involved, up above, a man sits in shadows and watches this attack unfold. The lady's got nerve, he observes. However, the joke may be on her because of the way she's charging. He comments that this wing of the place is mostly deserted, so there's no need for him to enter the mix—yet. He'll wait and see what happens.
Down below, what happens is that Alison swings the pool hose like a whip, wraps it around Colossus's feet, and gently jerks it, sending him into the water. By the time he resurfaces, Dazzler is already on her way up to her room. Wolverine finds his comrade in the pool. After telling him to cut short his little swim, he tells him they can end this by cornering Dazzler. She's boxed herself in, he says; he orders Colossus to guard the door while he goes through the window. Dazzler may be good, but she's not good enough—just like he said at the start.
Logan insists they turn her away. They're professionals; she's not, he says. It's as simple as that. Rogue, crossing her arms, swears Logan is the most infuriating man she knows. Alison Blaire is a fellow mutant, she reminds him, and in addition to being a friend of Storm's, she's come to them for help—just like Rogue herself did not long earlier. There's a big difference, Logan responds. These are their lives; Dazzler just wants to play superhero while her showbiz career is in the dumps. Nightcrawler interjects and accuses Wolverine of twisting the girl's intentions. She asked to train with them, he says—to hone her powers and use them positively to help curb the recent anti-mutant hysteria.
"Hysteria she helped fan when she went public about bein; a mutant, elf," Logan reminds him. "Now she wants to make it all better. Well, our game isn't somethin' you jump in an' out of like the latest fashions she wears." Nightcrawler asserts that Alison has the raw talent, and that he and Rogue are convinced she's serious about developing it. He suggests Wolverine is merely being stubborn because she keeps requesting he not smoke around her. Logan replies he's being stubborn because, with the country's current mood, one serious fumble by any mutant could put them all in trouble—fatal trouble. The professor says it's up to them, he adds. He asks Peter where he stands.
Peter, however, finds himself distracted by a sight outside the window: Dazzler playing her guitar to the attentive New Mutants. He continues to stare silently across the elegant grounds of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Returning to reality for a moment, he says that instead of arguing, they should try a Danger Room session to see if her abilities are as fantastic as her voice.
Later, in compliance with Peter's request, the X-Men put Dazzler to the test in the Danger Room. She wears a protective golden suit as she dodges the obstacles and lasers they send her way. From the observation deck, Nightcrawler comments on her excellent performance to Wolverine. She's doing better than even he did during his first session. Wolverine remains silent while Dazzler overcomes the trials. His silence continues even when the rest of the X-Men vote to accept Dazzler's request for re-training. To challenge her even further, Wolverine, Colossus and Nightcrawler engage her in combat in the Danger Room. The battle is intense and grueling, but she manages to neutralize everyone—except Wolverine. Although Dazzler's own skills improve by leaps and bounds during these brief sessions, she is unable to thwart Wolverine's approach. He sneaks behind her, grabs her around the neck. Gotcha, he says. As she struggles to break free, he tells her she should have blinded him so he couldn't dodge her attacks, then gone after him with her laser blasts. "That's the trouble with you, songbird. You give a good performance—I do it for real!" With that, he swipes his claws across her chest.
She begins to cry as Wolverine walks away. Some types might settle for just slicing her practice armor, he says. He tells her to stick with showbiz, before she—or someone else, like one of his friends—gets hurt. He'd hate to think of what he would do to prevent that.
Dazzler recovers from his taunts and the traumatizing incident—she's too tough and abhorrent to self-pity to not recover. However, the incident haunts her for the remainder of her training. Ultimately, Professor X assembles the team and addresses Dazzler: apart from one dissenting opinion, they believe she's ready. Naturally, he says, they'd be please if she wished to say longer, and perhaps consider joining them. Dazzler rebuts she'd be a risk to the secrecy that protects the X-Men and the New Mutants—and making it on her own has always been important to her. However, she doesn't like doubt, particularly from a group she respects so much. "Let's settle this, Wolverine," she says.
"Even if you don't like the results? Name it," he replies. Dazzler proposes a final, surprise test, in real-life conditions. They'll call it a graduation exercise, she says. She'll assume full responsibility and assure no innocent lives are threatened. "Barest hint of that possibility—you automatically flunk, darlin'," Logan replies. "An' if I'm part of it…you will anyway."
Outside the mansion, Dazzler thanks Professor X for not objecting to her proposal. She worries she's foolishly letting pride get the better of her. If she were, he would have objected, Xavier responds. By challenging Wolverine's doubt, she must be hoping to eliminate any of her own. He offers her a suggestion or two before she departs. With that, Dazzler leaves Westchester, and resumes her life on the West Coast—waiting for the ultimate test to come at last.
Wolverine and Colossus come crashing into Dazzler's motel room through the door and window. They find it empty, prompting Colossus to ask if they made a mistake. Wolverine tells him to trust a man with animal senses; she's there somewhere. He barely finishes suggesting they watch the dressing alcove when Dazzler, garbed in a new costume, bursts into view and hits play on a portable tape deck, which loudly fills the room with music. Wolverine and Colossus barely get the chance to hear it, however, for the throbbing sound waves are swiftly absorbed by Alison Blaire's mutant body and transduced into light—brilliantly gleaming, pulsing light. Dazzling light.
Colossus, barely able to speak, mutters that Dazzler's new costume seems to help her control and amplify her powers. The light she projects is too strong and too intense for them to avert or shield their eyes. The two X-Men can only reel as Dazzler continues to shine.
Moments later, when they regain some of their senses, they stagger around the now-empty room. Colossus's pupils ache. It takes him a moment to realize that he can once again hear the music, which means Dazzler has departed. She's may be gone, Wolverine says, but she's not gotten far enough. He points to her outside in the parking lot. She's flashing light that even their recovering peepers can spot her, he says. At his command, Colossus grabs hold of him and leaps to the ground below. She was foolish to not score on them while they were weak, Logan observes. If she wants to throw that opportunity away, he's more than happy to take advantage.
As they chase after Dazzler, Colossus suggests that maybe she's adhering to Professor X's lesson to always move a battle away from places innocent bystanders might stumble. Perhaps she's not running, he says—but leading.
Meanwhile, from the shadows above the motel, the observer remarks that he had better join in the following of Alison. He's got to be ready to move when this business ends. He steps back into the shadows to head in the direction of the chase, toward the waterfront.
The final confrontation occurs near the beach, on a condemned pier scheduled for demolition. They won't hurt anything there, Dazzler says to her assailants—except for each other. Of course, they could avoid that by declaring the trial complete. She's obviously improved over her training period, she says, and her new outfit—a design of Professor Xavier's—allows her not only to store sound more efficiently, but to gauge and focus her light powers better than she ever could before! "So, what you're facing is—"
"Window dressing!" Logan interjects. He tells Colossus to forget how much he likes her singing and show Dazzler what getting tough is really like! At his urging, Colossus hoists one of the sturdy pier supports out of the water and prepares to use it as a weapon. He tells his comrade that although he was selected for this mission, whereas Logan volunteered, he does not shirk once committed—particularly since Alison herself insisted they hold nothing back! With that, he chucks the log in Dazzler's direction. The massive piling hurtles as easily as a javelin, but to Colossus's horror, Dazzler makes no effort to duck or dodge it—until, at the last instant, when she shoots a thin laser blast, with unequalled precision, and rends the log in two. She doesn't stop for applause.
The separate pieces soar past her and pierce the sides of a docked freighter. Dazzler turns and uses them as steps to vault herself onto the ship's deck. Once aboard, she turns and fires a focused laser beam at the dock, severing it from the shore—and leaving Colossus and Wolverine liable to fall when it collapses. Colossus takes the time to explain this to Logan, who leaps away from his frustrating peer and grabs hold of the boat. Colossus is not so lucky, and tumbles into the water when the wood gives way beneath his feet. Wolverine, hanging by one arm, looks up at Dazzler. Cute, he tells her—but he's still coming for her.
Even as Wolverine springs upward, Dazzler's hands are one of the derelict craft's loading cables. She swings herself to the portion of the pier still attached to the shore. How far does he want to take this, she asks Logan? She's heading for shoreside. Although he might make it in one leap, she threatens to blast him with her lights and nail him cold before he does. Once more, she stands triumphantly. Unfortunately for her, the sunken Colossus reaches up through the decrepit wood beneath her feet and pulls her into the water. The Russian-born mutant's iron grip clamps on the Dazzler, draining her of breath and consciousness, trapping her so she cannot use her arms to direct her light powers. However, she can fire it out of her eyes as well, only not so subtly or gently—and this, she does. She apologizes to Peter for what she's doing to him.
Colossus stiffens with shock and pain, his great body momentarily standing, flailing out against the relentless sweep of oblivion, until he slumps against the floating debris. Alison Blaire climbs wearily from the water. Upon reaching solid ground, she finds Wolverine staring her down menacingly. She was right, he says—it only took one leap. Now, it's dues-paying time! He doesn't think she has the scratch either, he says with his claws exposed. "Look at you," he mocks, "—bitin' back your tongue over hurtin' Petey! You're too soft for this business, Songbird!"
"Then I'll make this a swansong you'll never forget!" Dazzler shouts back. She unleashes everything she has at the approaching Wolverine. His charge, which began while he was still speaking, slows. The light surging out of Dazzler pounds Wolverine in waves of color. It sears at his perceptions, staggering and slowing him. However, he still nears. Not enough, he taunts. Instead of picking her shots and concentrating them, she blew it! And now, he says, his claws are within striking range purely because she let him goad her into trying to overwhelm him! No, Dazzler replies—she just let him think that.
Abruptly ceasing her light eruption, she focuses it into a thin laser beam, as sharp as a razor—or an Adamantium claw. She swipes this beam across his chest, just as he's about to strike. As Logan stares down at the rip in his costume, Dazzler shrugs and returns his prior taunts in kind. Real enough for him now, she asks? Or should she have shaved his chest?
Wolverine stares at the opening, long and hard. Then, he lunges. She should've put him out! he says. She shouldn't go for cheap psychological points when the chips are really down!
"Short of laying you wide open so we can all enjoy how long it takes your mutant healing ability to work," another voice chimes in, "—she's proved enough, Wolverine!" An crimson force beam strikes the ground immediately before Logan and knocks him on his butt. "The deal was that she handle the situation well. Nobody said she had to become you." As he approaches Logan, Cyclops comments that it was a good thing he stayed to referee. Professor X had him come to give Alison some final tips for honing her light blasts—some of the same tips her used to master his own uni-beams.
Wolverine is shocked to see Cyclops. Colossus, meanwhile, emerges from the water, excited to see his old friend. He must've emerged from retirement, Colossus says. He's away from his bride and his home in Alaska! Cyclops insists he's just visiting—and that he's anxious to get back to Madelyne. He asks if this trial is finally over. Colossus insists it is. While waiting for confirmation from Logan, he adds that he doesn't want to be knocked into the water anymore that evening; he feels a terminal rust already. Once more, Logan remains silent.
Dazzler decides to settle for two out of three. With that, she moves off into the darkness, and whatever waits beyond it. "Kid better be all you guys an' the others think she is," Wolverine says after she departs. "Gonna be bad days ahead for every mutant—but especially for one—who made herself the most obvious target of all."
The next morning, in Los Angeles, two men meet in an office building. One of them, O.Z. Chase, expresses astonishment at the identity of his next mark: the Dazzler? The lady who got folks all upset demonstrating some kind of light powers for a movie promotion? Not the usual bail jumper, he remarks. His client tells him that's why the people he represents wanted to hire the best bounty hunter. That's also why they've authorized their firm to pay him half of the quite sizeable bonus in advance—along with a box of his favorite cigars. They certainly know their man, Chase responds. And if the authorities aren't moving on this, he'll bring her in—mutant, superhero, or whatever she is. He departs.
After he leaves, his client thinks to himself that he's certain O.Z. Chase will keep the Dazzler busy. And, at last, he will speed them up toward the beginning of the end. Now alone in his office, his hand begins to disintegrate, forming a pile of dust on his otherwise impeccably clean desk.
Colossus, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Professor X, Rogue, Wolverine (X-Men)
Cannonball, Magik, Mirage, Wolfsbane (New Mutants)
O.Z. Chase (bounty hunter)
Cerberus (Chase's dog)
Dust I (unnamed)
Wesley Long (fugitive)
This issue marks a new direction in Dazzler's solo series, as explicitly stated both on the cover and in the letters section.
The costume Dazzler debuts in this issue remains her outfit of choice for a long time—all the way until her entry into the Siege Perilous in UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #251. She continues wearing a variation of this same costume for some time after that.
Since she last appeared in Dazzler's series, Rogue went to the X-Men for help controlling her powers in UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #170 and was inducted into their ranks—albeit reluctantly—in UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #171.
Although she turns down their offer in this issue—for the second time, no less—Dazzler does eventually join the X-Men in UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #214, but only after the state of things for mutants significantly worsens and she no longer feels safe acting solo.
This issue is the first appearance of both O.Z. Chase, his companion Cerberus and the villain Dust. All three remain fixtures of Dazzler's solo series until its finale.
O.Z. Chase refers—somewhat disparagingly—to the American Civil Liberties Union, a legal organization that advocates for the Constitutionally protected rights on United States citizens.
Chronologically speaking, this issue takes place between UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #192 and 193. During this period of the X-Men, Storm was on a journey of self-discovery after losing her powers, while Cyclops was living in Alaska with his new wife, Madelyne Pryor, whom he married in UNCANNY X-MEN (1st series) #175. Phoenix III and Shadowcat were also both on the team at this time, although they do not appear in this issue.
After her brief appearance in WOLVERINE AND NICK FURY: SCORPIO CONNECTION, Dazzler next appears in NEW MUTANTS (1st series) #29, SECRET WARS II #1, NEW MUTANTS (1st series) #30 and 31, wherein she returns to the Gladiator Arena she worked so hard to escape in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1-4.

Satterfield eager to begin Louisville spring football
Scott Satterfield eager to get his player on the football field as spring practice begins Monday.
Two months after he was hired at the University of Louisville, Coach Scott Satterfield was introducing the newest members of his first recruiting class on Wednesday at the Howard Schnellenberger football complex. Now he can finally focus on cleaning up the mess left by his predecessor.
The coach he replaced having lost the confidence and respect of his assistant coaches, the players, the administration and the fans, finishing the 2018 season with a humiliating 2-10 record. Still another unhappy ending from Bobby Petrino. Par for the course for him, but a double whammy for UofL following two tenures.
Satterfield hasn't had much time to work with the players he inherited from Petrino. When he was hired on December 4th, he was faced with the challenges of hiring an entirely new staff, evaluating the existing commitments before the early signing date of December 19th, and then hitting the recruiting trail in earnest.
The UofL coach acknowledged that getting his staff and first recruiting class together was a time-consuming process. He was, however, pleased with reports from the strength coaches that players were making significant progress in the weight room.
Satterfield will have plenty of time to know his players starting on Monday with the beginning of the spring training camp. He's not making any assumptions about what went wrong under Petrino, saying everyone is starting off with a clean slate.
He will have 15 days to begin to reverse some of the failures of the second Petrino era, to instill a new culture with a winning attitude, and new offensive and defensive schemes at Louisville. Major challenges for any coach but Satterfield can't wait to get started.
"The Louisville brand is a good one, the program has had a lot of success, with some major accomplishments," he said. "The response from high school coaches has been awesome. They know what went on here before and what we want to do. What Louisville has been able to do in the past has been awesome."
"Our staff did an outstanding job of going out, working their tails off to get the kind of players we need at Louisville," he said. "We're glad to get much of the administrative stuff behind us. We're eager to get out on the field and begin the process of getting better as a football team.

Culture change in high gear for Louisville football
Editor's Note: Rarely will the Observer go with a release verbatim from the Sports Information Office but this one, penned by UofL's Stephen Williams, is just too good to pass up:
Culture has been a commonly referenced term for the University of Louisville football program amidst the transition to head coach Scott Satterfield.
Scott Satterfield is rapidly gaining respect in the Louisville football complex.
When Satterfield was introduced as the new head coach of the Cardinals on Dec. 4, culture was a consistent theme of his opening message.
"It starts with our culture, so that's what we're going to work on," Satterfield said in his opening press conference. "That's what this offseason is going to be about. When you get that stuff straight, then the wins will start coming."
Satterfield inherits a Louisville program that struggled in 2018, but a roster hungry to put it in the rearview mirror. As winter workouts have reached the halfway point, current Cardinals have taken note of the culture change in progress.
"A lot of it came from the team," rising junior safety TreSean Smith said. "Guys came in with new energy. They want to get better. Everyone wants to compete at the highest level and get better each and every day."
The culture change is a process that starts at the top however, with a new coaching staff pushing to get the most out of its players.
"There's a new vibe from the new coaches coming in from different areas," Smith added. "They bring in a little bit of their energy and combine that with a little bit of our energy and it works out for us."
Before the Cardinals step on the field under Satterfield's watch, the work begins in the weight room under the direction of the new head of strength and conditioning for football, Mike Sirignano.
"They kill us every day, in a good way," rising sophomore defensive back Chandler Jones commented. "Coach Mike (Sirignano) is real energetic and gets into us and is able to get the best out of us. A lot of us are going to get a lot faster this year."
Hard work and an increased energy level have been at the forefront of the change in culture, but there's been an added focus from Satterfield's staff in one particular area.
"Accountability. They've changed a lot of things around," Smith stated. "You have to be accountable for everything that you do. You're not late to anything, you're at everything on time five minutes before. They show no leniency to anyone."
The Cardinals take the field for the first practice of the spring on Feb. 11.

Scott Satterfield brings expectations for Louisville football
A new face with a refreshing outlook.
There's a new man in the coach's office at the Schnellenberger football complex today, an individual who just a couple of weeks ago couldn't have imagined being there. But there he is sorting through the roster, figuring out who's going, who's on the fence and who's staying with just two weeks before national signing day.
Scott Satterfield has taken on a difficult challenge, that of reversing the fortunes of the University of Louisville football team. A program that tumbled over the cliff this past season, losing its last nine games while allowing more than 50 points on six different occasions. Turning that around could be seen as a daunting task for many coaches.
Athletic Director Vince Tyra, undaunted by a turndown by former UofL great Jeff Brohm, said he was interested in Satterfield from the beginning, fascinated with how Appalachian State had dominated the Sun Belt Conference. Narrow overtime losses to Tennessee and Penn State also intrigued him.
"We wanted a winner, and I wanted someone to want us as badly as we wanted him," said Tyra. "There was competition for Scott in this process, and I'm glad we were able to stay in front of the competition. He met all of our criteria and expectations. We looked at a number of people during the search process and kept coming back to Scott."
Clearly Satterfield is able to see beyond the current difficulties, some seeming self-inflicted by the previous head coach, knowing what is possible at UofL. "I want to compete for national championships one day. That's what we're going to be gunning for," he said during introductory ceremonies.
"To be able to come and coach at this kind of a university to compete for championships, I can't turn that down at this point in my career. This is what we've been shooting for."
Welcome to Louisville, Scott Satterfield.

History and legend at the Royal Palace of Capodimonte
The Royal Palace of Capodimonte (in Italian, Reggia di Capodimonte) was built in 1738 by will of Charles VII king of Naples and Sicily, who made it his hunting lodge near Naples. It served as royal palace for the House of Bourbon as well as for French sovereigns Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat, and finally for the Savoy family, who lived here until 1948. Once the war was over, it was turned into a museum. Its royal apartments, on the first floor, are in part original and in part rebuilt; all of them are decorated with precious and luxurious furniture from past centuries.
Its walls protect masterpieces by some of the greatest artists in history: Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Goya, Van Dyck, Mantegna, Parmigianino and dozens more. The museum inside offers visitors a unique experience, through an interesting synthesis of art from the 1200s to the 20th century. The initial collection was brought to the Reggia in 1735 by Charles VII, who had inherited it from his mother, but grew thanks to the royal families' acquisitions and private donations. Between the 1700s and the 1800s, the palace became so important for Europe's intellectuals and aristocrats that it was considered a "must-see" stop along the Grand Tour of Italy.
Outside the Reggia, the vast park was designed by architect Ferdinando Sanfelice. Visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, it was crowned "Most Beautiful Park in Italy" in 2014. Its Royal Woods extends over 134 hectares and is home to 400 plant species – some with exotic origins like Australian eucalypti and Asian camellias. Its boulevards run between orchards, houses, churches, fountains, statues and workshops. The latter used to churn out silk, porcelain, tapestries and other beautiful objects destined to be showcased at the Reggia. The latter has luxurious and lavish rooms with unique decor details, such as the Hall of the Crib, the Grand Party Hall, the Pompeian Alcove and the wonderful Ceramic Sitting Room designed for Queen Amalia: a little boudoir built in 1757-1759, with walls covered in porcelain made by the Royal factory.
We can only imagine the dances, double-dealings and legendary stories that took place in these rooms and corridors. Some say they continue to this day – according to the legends about a noblewoman who lived here her last days: Maria Carolina of Austria, sister to French queen Marie Antoinette, who married Ferdinand IV of Napes in 1768. With her husband so uninterested in politics that he was nicknamed "Re Lazzarone", Maria Carolina began taking care of political and social issues, fostering the city's great flourishing. Her receptions, dance parties and lavish dinners at the court of the Archduchess went down in history, and legend has it that at night, in the silence of these empty rooms, sometimes lights turn on and she comes back, to dance to the music of the harpsichord until everything vanishes at the dawn. Some say, she returns to be the queen of this wonderful palace, if only for a few hours.

This large home was originally built in Mosman in 1905 and the architect, builder and interior designer all worked closely together to renovate this home from the basement up. The finished project, now with new interior fittings throughout, is meticulous. A superb restoration.


Balenciaga's Everyday large pouch is crafted of black supple leather. Made in Italy, this sleek design is minimally detailed with white logo lettering.
Lined with black fabric. Slip pocket at interior.
9" height x 14" width (approximately).


Football as it's meant to be, returns this Friday, but just as it draws closer, what does the new campaign bring this time round?
A familiar start as holders, Bayern Munich host the curtain-raiser for a sixth consecutive year, but what difference has the 2018/19 season from the previous 55?
Get prepared for more female faces. Familiar Ugh?
Langenhagen based Bibiana Steinhaus, last season, become the first woman to take charge of a major European top flight when she oversaw Hertha Berlin's 1-all draw with Werder Bremen on Matchday 3.
Well, for this new season, she will be joined by two new colleagues amongst the ranks of Bundesliga referees; – Robert Schröder and Daniel Schlager who officiated in the second division last season were promoted to the First Division for the 2018/19 season.
This means the Bundesliga will now have a total of 26 referees in the pool, 11 of whom are FIFA listed like last year's best in the men, Felix Brych.
From the World Cup and into everywhere now, the German Bundesliga will once again bed with a more superior official. Perhaps not a new idea in Germany; – last season saw the introduction of Video Assistant Referee in the Bundesliga.
Marred with apparent lack of transparency for the fans, the system was not anything a true football fan would want this season.
However, following the controversial sacking of project Chief, Hellmut Krug, an increase in the number of correctly made key decisions by officials was reported as per the 2017/18 season report.
Now, if you have been wondering what is new this time round, well, there has been introduction of on-screen text explanations for every Video-Assist check, just to rectify what was not clear last season.
Video assistants may only intervene in four possible situations (goals, penalties, red cards or mistaken identity), and the nature of the check will be displayed on screen together with the final outcome by the on-field official for all viewers to see.
If there is a country that has enhanced and integrated Technology in its people's way of life, well Germany continues to show a comparative edge over the rest of the world.
This season, Elite coaching staff will also have more aide available to them. Well, if you think it's only Vanderlei Luxemburgo and the NFL that know best how to use headsets, think twice. Maybe not for the same reasons (communicating with players), but this season will have coaches and their technical staff donning headsets to allow communication between the staff on the touchline and one based in the stands.
This method of communication is also intended to allow a faster diagnosis and relaying of information back to the coach in the event of an injury to a player.
Teams are also now allowed tablets in their coaching areas and to use these to access match data and tracking statistics. The number of devices available to teams is limited to three, and are intended purely for coaching and tactical purposes.
There will be punishments for any team who try to use these aids when discussing a refereeing decision with the officials.


Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature claypot noodle which has a thick broth with full of fragrance in it. The noodle is not over cooked and it still remain the chewiness on it. The price is a little too expensive for just noodle and nothing special ingredient in it though.
Overall: 4/5 - The pork rib is fried before fold inside the aluminium foil with delicious gravy and baked. The moment the aluminium foil is unwrapped, the fragrance just spread out the entire table. We just couldn't wait for any second longer to grab our first piece. The meat is so soft and tender and the fragrance right now immersed into our mouth instead. It was truly satisfying.
Outlook: 2/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 2/5 - The beancurd was good but the luffa was not sweet at all and it carried a strong bitter taste in it. It was a bad dish.
Overall: 3/5 - The lala is big enough for you to chew longer in your mouth. The superior soup is really good but they put too much ginger in it which has cover up the pure sweetness in the soup instead. Otherwise, I would have given full mark for this.
Overall: 4/5 - The tofu itself was quite normal but after having the attractive scallop, baby abalone and prawn beside it, it has changed everything about this dish. It is no longer ordinary when the scallops and the prawns are fresh with succulent texture.
Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - If you think this dish looks dry, you are wrong! The moment I chewed on the prawn, all the salted egg juices squirted out. It has surprised me and at the same time, I made a mess with it. I didn't expected it. Moreover, the prawns are really big in size. You will definitely love this dish.
Overall: 3/5 - It might looks a little disoriented but I can assured you that the taste is superb! The mix of Malaysian laksa flavor into a western's pasta is truly a brilliant idea. Add a little lemon on them will enticed the entire laksa flavor in it.
Overall: 4/5 - The prawn that is hidden inside the dumpling skin is so big and tangy. It is so fresh which you wish there is more than a prawn inside it. Absolutely delicious!
Overall: 3/5 - You are not getting a tiny pieces and you are not getting just half but one whole 20 cents sized scallop inside the dumpling. The scallop is so fresh and succulent too which you will never regret ordering it even it is a little pricey.
Overall: 3/5 - In a non-halal dim sum restaurant, this is the one usually contains pork in it. Since this restaurant is a halal restaurant, they have replaced the pork with chicken and mixed with prawn meat in it. The taste is still delicious but just the appearance a little not that excellent.
Overall: 3/5 - Smooth, creamy and with full of mushroom fragrance in it. Not to forget the exciting mushroom bits in it to give me a little chewing job to do. It was a really good soup.
Overall: 3/5 - I love this daring combination by combining one of our Malaysian favourite local food, satay together with baked cheese penne. The satay was really delicious, they should have serve at least 3 instead of just one. While the penne is very fragrant which comes from the cheese and a little spiciness in it.
Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - It was a little too dry for me and it is a breast meat which means hard to chew. I do not really like this dish.


Denny's Diner – Americas Diner – is a great place to go to eat. You can have breakfast all day long, which means there's never a bad time to order pancakes! You don't have to want breakfast to eat at Denny's and thats why we love it. If you're craving a nice cooked breakfast with pancakes on the side but your friends want a burger or a chicken skillet then great news… Denny's offer all of these options and more, check out their menu here.

EuroSim CBRN - EuroSIM CBRN – Next Generation European Space-based Information Management System for CBRN / HazMat Incidents
Home » Portfolio » EuroSim CBRN
ACTIVITYDemonstration Project (from FS)
STATUSOngoing
THEMATIC AREASafety & Security
UrbanAware is the leading Incident Modelling Platform to provide lifesaving CBRN / HazMat situational awareness and decision support.
Shared situational awareness and decision support via desktop and mobile phone apps
Underpinned by trusted CBRN defence hazard modelling capabilities from the UK Defence Science Technology Laboratory
Rapid deployment with near global coverage
Secure cloud hosted or local install
Interoperability with existing GIS systems
Space-based data service provision
UrbanAware takes advantage of the latest developments in cloud computing and Modelling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) to provide an innovative, affordable and highly flexible service offering which is specifically customisable and easily capable of being tailored to different user community needs and practices. Combined with the provision of flexible deployment options and pricing models, including scalable pay-as-you-go or annual subscription, it enables users to select the services, capabilities and delivery option that meets both their specific budgetary constraints and their operational/training needs.
A key UrbanAware feature is the use of space-based data assets to provide automated acquisition, fusion and updating of input data streams to enable rapid setup and deployment in almost any geographical region and adaption to dynamically changing environmental parameters. With the inclusion of urban geography, meteorology data, land usage classification, terrain height, high resolution satellite imagery and video data as well as near real-time dynamic population density and movement, this advanced data service has the potential for widespread application in emergency response, beyond just the CBRN/HazMat domain.
With the evolving threat of terrorism and the consequences of industrial accidents producing life endangering toxic materials, there is an increasing need for improved local control of CBRN or HazMat incidents. Consequently, there is an increasing need for first responders, local government and other agencies, as well as commercial entities concerned with risk management and insurance to have access to the type of CBRN Information Management (IM) capabilities available to the military. From a first responder and local government perspective, having immediate access to trusted and affordable CBRN/HazMat information would significantly improve their situational awareness and enable more effective response strategies to be developed. From a commercial perspective, understanding the risk from potential CBRN/HazMat scenarios and planning effective mitigation strategies is a vital part of business continuity which would be significantly enhanced with access to a CBRN/HazMat IM system.
From our stakeholder engagement, it was evident that the majority of user groups have a need for greater situational awareness and decision support when dealing with CBRN/HazMat incidents. In particular, the ability to rapidly and reliably predict and share information relating to the spread and hazardous effects of an airborne CBRN/HazMat material over time was seen as being of the upmost priority in terms of saving lives and safeguarding response personnel. Information needs to be made available to users in the field as well as back at base and should be displayed in a form that ensures its meaning is immediately accessible to all user types but at the same time not result in information overload. Due to the wide range of different user and stakeholder groups, there is a clear need to ensure flexibility in solution offering both in terms of system architecture and deployment. Many users expressed the need for a system that would integrate with existing emergency response tools, while others required a complete end-to-end solution.
The developed service is targeted at users in the UK, EU and NATO countries as well as elsewhere in the world, subject to any relevant Export Licence etc. considerations.
The primary operational concept of UrbanAware is for an Information Management system that delivers shared situational awareness and decision support within the context of an unfolding CBRN/HazMat incident. While the system is designed to be flexible in terms of its deployment, the primary offering consists of a centralised modelling and information integration service suite, providing dispersion modelling, information fusion and hazard forecasting, supported by a Consolidated Base Data Service, accessible via a desktop web app and first responder's handheld platforms, either via a mobile app or a mobile-friendly web interface. The system also functions as a shared workspace in which a team or multiple teams across various agencies operating within the context of an incident share situational information – which can be securely configured per team or agency to suit the incident commander or lead agency's requirements – and access services that build their understanding of the unfolding situation, providing actionable information in a readily assimilable form.
Within this overall vision, three key headline services have been identified, all of which will be provided within an overarching, primarily cloud-hosted system, delivered via web-based user interface accessible via desktop and handheld devices. Two additional supporting services provide coupling with operational workflows and with available data sources. The key headline services which are included in the core offering are: Dispersion Modelling; Information Fusion and Hazard Modelling, and; Definition of Key Population Risks. Within the flexible framework provided, these can also be augmented by further additional supporting services, all delivered within the common service architecture as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: High level pictorial of UrbanAware common service architecture concept
Some of the key aspects of the system capability are:
Cloud Hosted Service-Oriented System
Common Work Area
Common Algorithm and Modelling Integration Architecture
Data Fusion Algorithms
Common Data Architecture
Space Based Data Service Provision
Screenshots of the UrbanAware Incident Modelling Platform are provided in Figures 2 and 3
Figure 2 – UrbanAware Dashboard Multi-Screen Display
Figure 3 - Screenshot of the UrbanAware Mobile App
It is clear that the range of modelling and decision support algorithms included with UrbanAware requires significant amounts of input data in order to provide actionable information. A key element of the Platform is to therefore make extensive use of both existing and emerging space-based data via the partnership with Thales Alenia Space and TCarta. The system architecture includes a space-based data service that collates and cleans relevant space-based data that is then accessible through a space-based data server application programming interface (API). Although this capability was initially focused at providing data for the CBRN IM capability, the space-based data service is also equally applicable to other types of Users and can be included as a service independent of the CBRNe Information Management system.
The screenshots of the UrbanAware Incident Modelling Platform technical demonstrator shown in Figures 2 and 3, utilised the following EO data sources:
Copernicus Urban Atlas data: https://land.copernicus.eu/local/urban-atlas/urban-atlas-2012
Copernicus Building Height:
https://land.copernicus.eu/local/urban-atlas/building-height-2012
SEDAC Gridded population: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/gpw-v4-population-density-rev11
Planet Labs Imagery and Tiles: https://developers.planet.com/docs/api/psscene3band/
EUMETSAT imagery: https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/Products/Climate/index.html
To support the additional capability of providing ease of integration, as far as possible the space-based data complies with common data standards such as OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), NetCDF (Network Common Data Form), etc.
The Development Phase is now underway with stakeholder engagement and application development and the project has completed the Baseline Design Review (BDR) meeting in December 2019.

Barbie and Elsa are both pregnant and they have heard about a new sauna which is supposed to be safe for them. They need some relaxation, so they have decided to take this time and enjoy a spa day. First you will have to remove all the metallic jewelry on their body. Then they will have to get a shower and shave their armpits and an electric razor. Use after shave to keep their skin moisturized. Dress them up in a fluffy towel and comfy slipper. Then get the sauna ready for them by heating up volcanic rocks, adding essential oils on them and then pouring water on top. This will cause steam to rise up and the essential oils will allow this steam to smell very nice. Repeat the process and then rub a moisturizing cream onto their bodies. Enjoy playing this exciting game!


Arose at about 7 and cooked for the bunch - Lou, Henrietta and myself. Left at about 9 & walked home. Ground my axe & spent the p.m. in the woods. Worked hard. Letter from Charlie Brown. He is now with Leopold Morse & Co. in the same capacity as with Shurman & likes much better.
In the woods as usual. Came home to lunch & like this plan much better as it breaks up the day & makes it seem shorter. Am practising like a fiend to get my lip for the 4th & am doing it up brown.
Worked up to this noon & then went to the village on foot to be ready to play on the 4th. Tried over some of the pieces with Mrs. Eagan at the hotel & they went O.K. She is a fine player, & very pleasant.
At San de Fuca all day: a good part of the time at Nellie's writing letters. Wrote Beth & Lelia, to the latter the silliest I could think of in return for one she sent me. Went to Coupeville with Chris Fisher & Mrs. Eagan and played at the big dance there. Everybody went into raptures over the music. The best they ever had so all said. A good many wanted to know who I was, where I came from etc. and said all sorts of nice things about my playing so I heard from several sources. Came home in the Atom & turned in at 4 A.M. Made $8.50 clear. Not so bad!
At Lou's all day. Just took it easy. Felt all in for the first time this p.m. late and took a nap. Had supper at Nellie's as Lou's kitchen floor is newly painted. Turned in early.
In the woods as usual and enjoyed myself immensely, singing and thinking over things. Did 320 feet today easy. Went down to the village to get some clothes & things & something for Aunt Kate's birthday tomorrow. Think I'll give her a silk handkerchief. Took down a cluster of fir cones & the big hornet's next for Mrs. Watson but the latter blew away while I was out of the buggy.
Working in the woods all the A.M. Got stung twice by hornets while looking over the place Neal's men have been cutting. Staid at home to help celebrate Aunt K's birthday & had a fine time. She is 80 today. The Dorcas Society met here & there was a big crowd on hand. Went down to get Mrs. Eagan & met her & Mrs. Watson on the way up and took them in. Mrs. E. played & I played a couple of songs with her. Met a Miss Gillis from Victoria & ate lunch with her. She, Lou & I took a stroll on the beach. Philistine from Beth.
At it again in the woods after my day off yesterday p.m. and glad to be into it once more. Am always ready to get to work after a day or p.m. off. Like being in the woods more and more, but I am not in it when it comes to making money along side of some of Neal's other men, but I am constantly doing better and may be able to compete with them yet.
Another week gone & I'm glad of it. Put in the whole day in the woods contrary to my usual pastime. Am getting in some good work on my cornet and I can see gradual and continued improvement. This cornet is so much better than my old one that there is a big difference in my playing.
On acct. of the rainy appearance of the weather did not start for San de Fuca until about 11. Walked down & stopped at Lou's. A bunch of us went to Still's Park for a picnic and had a fair time and feed. Nothing extra.
Into the woods again and glad to be there. Alone once more to do some thinking and planning. Have great times all by my lonesome in the tall timber living over my old experiences etc.
Put down 386 feet today. Pretty tired tonight. Had dinner at Tony's in order to give the old ladies a rest.
In the woods, as usual but didn't feel much like work: too hot. Fed the pigs for Tony this noon, he being away for a visit.
Worked all the A.M. and then quit for the rest of the day. After dinner had a good nap, shave & bath. Split some wood & practised. Found a lot of pieces in my instruction book that I never happened to see before: they weren't in the old book. Am off for San de Fuca tonight. Met Mr. Carlton on the way down & he handed me a letter from Beth. That girl intends to keep my busy writing if she can. She hardly waits a minute before replying. Have had 52 pages to answer in the last batch.
At Lou's all day reading Molly Baron, splitting wood & chatting with Uncle George about old Bunganuc etc. Wrote a long letter to Steve, Lou's husband, & had her read it to see if it were O.K.. Am trying in this way to get acquainted somewhat.
Put in another day at Lou's and have enjoyed it immensely. Read a great deal. Finished a long letter to Beth and hope I won't have to write again for months. What does it all amount to anyhow? We are both wasting valuable time. Eileen is rather feverish tonight & Lou is very anxious. Spent eve. at the hotel listening to Mrs. Egan play on the piano. Letters from Ma & Lelia Putnam.
Still at Lou's. Read until 10.30 & then went over to Mrs Miller's to have her read the cards for me, which she did very willingly. In the main she spoke very encouragingly of my immediate future. Plenty of material success, etc. but no "wedding bells." Came back here right after dinner & went into the woods. Margaret Power, Henrietta & Molly Thornton overtook me & relieved me of my satchel & two albums. Don the spaniel left them & staid with me.
Helped Tony most all day getting his reaper in shape and helping him with it at Blackiston's where he started in on the oats. Helped him milk.
Same old business. Nearly roasted all day. We need rain badly.
In the woods all day. Tony goes away today until Sat. noon with the reaper and I am to look after the cows etc. until he returns. Milked 5 cows this eve. and it took me a long time to do it but I succeeded in getting as much milk as Tony does all the same. Finished the chores at 8.45 and then practised a few minutes. Had a fine sponge bath and turned in.
Arose at 5 and milked the 5 cows, separated the milk, fed the pigs and cleaned out the barn. Had breakfast at Tony's. I smell like a barn yard & look worse than a tramp.
Did the chores for Tony as usual & got along O.K. The bull likes to bother me but I always get the best of him after a while. We all went down to the hall for the ice cream social & had a good time. Danced with Reny, Lou & others. Nell Benson proposed my taking charge of the school for the next school year & we had quite a talk about it. Promised to see what I could do.
At San de Fuca all day & staying at Nellie's for a change, as long as Charlie is away. Reny & I went canoeing in an old indian dug out we found on the beach & had a jolly time.
Too windy to work in the woods so staid at home & studied but I nearly died with the fidgets. I am too much of a wild man, since working in the woods, to stay around the house all day & keep my mind on book reading. Did a few chores to help out.
In the woods all day in spite of the rain. Worked in my bare skin most all the p.m. and liked it. Put in over two hours on the horn today for Friday night.
Went with Tony & Mr. Carleton to get a load of wood for Mr. Arnold & then rode with them to San de Fuca where we got Ma's trunk & brought it home. Letter from John Hull who has just returned to Bellingham from the East. Says Charlie wrote him that he might not come West but go into a real estate office in Providence.
Knocked off this noon for the rest of the day. Got badly stung by hornets this A.M. in 5 places. Shaved, bathed and then went downto Fuca for the dance. Played from 9 till 2 nd got along nicely. Very pretty party. Several of the girls dressed in Jap costume & looked very pretty. It was a Japanese party.
Arose quite late as I feel pretty well all in after the dance. Did not turn in until about 3.30. Staid down all day and had a good time. Charlie wants me to go to Everett to get an option on some real estate & I will go Monday. Wrote a short letter to John Hull.
At San de Fuca all day and oscillated between Lou's and Nellie's. Wrote long letter to Charlie Brown. Lincoln & I went clamming this A.M,. got a big mess, and had a jolly time. Took some up to Lou. Borrowed a razor from Chris & shaved. Cut his hair. Went over to Mrs. Thornton's camp with the bunch for a clam mulligan. Took along the cornet and had a jolly time.
Left for Everett at 7 A.M. & arrived at about 10.30. Called on Juliet the first thing & she seemd glad to see me. Had a good talk. Spent p.m. in the dentist's chair & had 4 teeth filled by Dr. Rice, from Northampton, Mass. We became quite chummy. Took Juliet to lunch & we had a jolly time. Mrs. Palmer & Miss Sangster came in later & joined us. Attended the minstrel show & had a few good laughs. Staid at the Royal.
Arose at 7 and immediately got busy trying to locate old Domino Cavellero the owner of the land on Camaro, but he is at Stanwood & no one knows when he will return, so I called on McKee & put the matter of obtaining an option in his hands as per Charlie's orders, then I went after Mr. Darling. He has a customer to show the property as soon as we can furnish an option. Had a nice call on Juliet & took her to lunch. Left for Whidby after seeing her again & making arrangements to write. Glad to get on the island again.
Took it easy at San de Fuca all day & enjoyed myself. Wrote to Juliet the first thing and hope she will enjoy the letter. Gave her all the news. Am reading "Texas Ranger" again and like it as well as ever. Charlie seems satisfied with the way I conducted affairs at Everett. Came back to the ranch this p.m. with Mamie, Ma & Aunt Sarah in the 2 seater. Helped Tony milk & then practised & retired.
Back in the woods again after an absence of about 5 days, and glad to be at work again and have a chance to do some meditating once more. Have many things to think about and decide.
The bark is so hard to peel off that I am going to quit for a while working in the woods on poles. Shall write Neil to see of I can't cut piles instead. My last tree nearly did me up and I barely did 300 feet.
Around the ranch all day helping Tony. Rode down to San de Fuca with Tony & staid at Lou's for the night. Beth has sent me "Ramona" to read. She's as good and generous as ever.
Working with Tony all day stacking wheat. Ma went over to Oak Harbor to make a visit.
Helped Tony and Nordmann with the stacks etc. Took a snap shot of the stacks, and the bull. Lincoln wants me to go as his band cutter on the thresher.
Mrs. Egan phoned that they wanted us to play at a dance at Coupeville tomorrow eve. All are getting stuck on our music and we are roping all the business right now.
Played at a dance at Coupeville with Mrs. Egan & had a swell time. Made $4.00. Had a lunch on the Whidby after the dance at Tommy Lasey's invitation. Started for home in Hastie's launch at about 1 A.M. but thot we would never get there. Wire in sparker broke & he never discovered it until he had tried 12 sets of batteries & had gone after a new set. Never had so much fun or laughed so in a short time as I did on this occasion. Mr. Lannon kept us roaring all the time. Mrs. Egan gave me pie at the hotel & I had another lunch at Lou's.
At San de Fuca all day resting. Had a feast of music with Mrs. Egan this p.m. and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Came back to the ranch this noon after seeing Lou & getting my films. She says Juliet has left Hall's & is going to work at Stone-Fisher Co's after coming home for a short stay. Into the woods this p.m. Helped Tony milk & separate. Aunt Kate fell from a chair this p.m. & hurt herself badly.
In the woods all day. Aunt Kate is suffering fearfully from her fall. Poor old soul!
No work today. Played at the fair at San de Fuca Hall this eve. & did fairly well. Went down early this p.m. Saw Juliet and was with her quite a while. Practised some with Mrs. Egan. Had a very nice time during the eve. taking in the sights, eating ice cream & drinking lemonade. A crowd of us adjourned to the hotel & had an hour's dancing. Mrs. E & I played & made $1.75 & $1-1/2 respectively. Danced once & that with Juliet.

On Location Expands in Las Vegas with Two New Hires to Further Client Return On Experience
Industry Veteran Kim Wilkins and ACE "Rookie of the Year" William Goza Join the Team
Mount Laurel, NJ – On Location, a nationwide provider of labor and management services for exhibits, events and environments, announces the expansion of its Las Vegas sales and operations team with the addition of two new hires. As a result of continued business growth, the company has hired Kim Wilkins as Account Executive and William Goza as Floor Manager – both to be located in the city and part of the existing On Location Las Vegas I&D team. Together, the expanded team will enhance the company's client-focused culture and its commitment to exceeding expectations with a pain-free, positive Return on Experience (ROE).
"When I was presented with the opportunity of these new hires, it came at the perfect time. The Las Vegas Convention Center expansion is underway and due to open in 2021, and we are experiencing our own organic growth. Both Kim and Will are great assets and will help strengthen our service commitment and position On Location today and well into the future," said Michael Mulry, On Location General Manager.
Industry veteran Kim Wilkins joins On Location with more than 20 years of I&D experience, having held various positions both in sales and operations. She started as a Field Service Supervisor and was quickly promoted to a City Manager and ultimately General Manager before moving into sales as a Senior Account Executive. With Wilkins experience in both operations and sales, she understands client needs and how to meet them. At On Location, her primary responsibilities will focus on new business development and customer acquisition on a nationwide level along with servicing existing clients as a primary liaison between sales and field operations. Mulry says, "Over the years, Kim's experience and expertise in the Las Vegas market has served her clients well and they will now benefit from On Location's ability to deliver labor nationwide." Adds Wilkins, "I've known the On Location Las Vegas crew for years and have tremendous respect for their work and client commitment. I look forward to being part of the team."
William Goza is newer to the I&D industry but in his three (3) short years, he has made a mark. Awarded a 2019 ACE "Rookie of the Year" earlier this year, Goza has been hired as a Floor Manager for On Location based in the Las Vegas area. He will report to Rob Morrison, On Location Regional Manager of Nevada, assisting with the coordination and oversight of labor crews to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. Goza will also act as an "on the floor" liaison between the labor teams and clients as needed, working multiple shows at varied venues simultaneously. A former member of the decorators union in Southern California, the SoCal native moved to Las Vegas in December 2018. "Being part of On Location, I look forward to supporting Rob and the entire team in making sure all clients' needs are met and wants are satisfied," he says. "The company is well-respected – a reputation I'm excited to make even better."
"Having worked with Will, as a Las Vegas extra board, I quickly recognized that he has what it takes to be a manager in this industry. I am thrilled to have him as part of our Las Vegas team," Morrison said. "As for Kim, I have personally worked with her and many of her clients over the years and I know they will quickly recognize the talent and professionalism that On Location offers both here in Las Vegas and nationwide."
"Last year we expanded our operations team adding East and West Coast Managers too," said Mulry. "Seeing the positive impact that had on our service, expanding in Las Vegas – one of the busiest trade show cities in the world – makes sense." He goes on to add, "As an organization, we are always looking to add talent. Both Kim and Will have great enthusiasm and share our customer first mindset. Together they will further support the On Location client-centric focus and commitment to ROE."
About On Location:
Founded in 1991, On Location has provided nationwide labor and management services for exhibits, events and environments that deliver a positive Return on Experience (ROE) for its customers – on time and on budget – throughout the country and around the world. As a leading exhibitor appointed contractor (EAC), the company recruits and trains highly experienced employees to become an extension of clients' teams, developing a plan for their unique needs. The result is a true client centric approach and business model to provide nationwide continuity of hands-on service before, during and after each project.

[Brooks] Rangers Must Decide Whether to Keep or Deal Kreider
Thread: Rangers Must Decide Whether to Keep or Deal Kreider
The future is spelled K-A-K-K-O BSBH Legend
Rangers Must Decide Whether to Keep or Deal Kreider
4. The three most critical decisions regarding current roster players are whether to extend Chris Kreider's contract or trade him before the clock starts ticking on the final year of his contract; and what to do about Kevin Shattenkirk and Brendan Smith, both of whom could face buyouts if the Blueshirts are unable to deal the defensemen.
A new contract for Kreider would likely cost in the $37 million to $42 million range over six years. If the Rangers opt to deal their third-most senior player (behind Henrik Lundqvist and Marc Staal), the acquiring team would have to be prepared to sign him to the extension in order for the Blueshirts to maximize their return.
Obtaining Kreider as a rental is not an especially enticing proposition. That's why teams like Edmonton and Winnipeg, who might otherwise have interest in the winger, won't be in the mix if the Blueshirts decide against an extension that would kick in at age 29.

4-7m is the danger zone.
Love Kreider. But I don't pay for nuthin!

The inconsistencies with Kreider have been aggravating over the course of his career. With the start he got off to this past season, I thought maybe he'd finally flourish and maybe Quinn was the perfect guy he could excel under. But, then he went into that long stretch and started to look more like the Chris Kreider we've seen in the past. With is skill set, I always saw no reason why he can't score 30 goals a year. If he wants $6-$7 million per year, I just don't know.
Gravesy
What to do with Kreider boils down to two things:
1. What is his ask to extend and
2. What's the market for him
For me, if the starting point for discussions is over 6m per x 6 years, I'm having a hard look at the market for him.
He's good. I like Kreider. But this strikes me like exactly the sort of deal you might be cursing 4 years down the line. And with the right trading partner he could net a tasty return.
However, if the market is tepid and he's willing to do a team friendly deal it's a different scenario entirely. He has value as a senior guy in the locker room on a roster full of children, regardless of what you might think of his play and his inconsistencies.
It's definitely not a clear cut decision.
HNIC BSBH Legend
There's no possible way to field a team without paying anyone $4-$7 million. It's a pipe dream.
That said, given injuries and inconsistency, I'm not paying Kreider JVR money or anything close.
True. But it's probably possible to put together a competitive roster without re signing players of Kreider's stature and age to something like 6.5m x 6.

If they can get get a top pairing defenseman for Kreider and a little more I think they have to trade him.
Especially if they are going to sign Panarin.

Senior Member BSBH Prospect
Kreider is a 50 point player. He gets 5m, period. If he were putting up 40 goals and 10 assists it would be a different story, but he's not. If he doesn't want 5m, he can go get it in Edmonton.
I love Kreider but he's a complimentary player.
GORTON 2020

with age first thing that goes is speed and Kreider is all about speed. i'd trade him at deadline next season and get a first rounder and be happy

Plus, that net front presence seems to be pretty important during the playoffs.
Senior Member Junior Division
I agree with this. His speed will be crucial, especially when we have more young talent coming through. Having that speed around is going to be pretty clutch
rmc51
He only needs to lose a step in order for that stretch pass to be pretty irrelevant. Front of net presence is a strength of his but that's not exactly a trait worth 6-7 x 6-7.
He'll be 29 at the start of his next contract.

I already said I dont want to overpay. Even 6x6 (Lucic) seems a bit scary.

^ThirtyOne is making a whole lot of sense. With Kreider its always "if..." and he has not been the scoring machine we all hoped he would turn into. I would say that he's been a better player post-health scare, but still not the elite guy. Gorton has to work him hard and get as favorable of a deal out of him as possible in order to give him that 7-year deal. 6 would be better still, but at what rate? IDK guys, speed is such an asset in today's game that I think we need a way to sign him.

Those might be similar players (when they signed those contracts) after Kreider loses his speed. So those are good comparisons for his following contract.
Okposo and Ladd are pretty direct comparables, no?

Meet the Voice Actors of Rage 2's Voice Cast
Published on May 14, 2019 Tom Hopkins
Home » Galleries » Features » Meet the Voice Actors of Rage 2's Voice Cast
Rage 2 is an expansive open world shooter that's full of things to see and quirky characters to meet. Many of them will have voices that you recognize. Here are the voice actors who make up Rage 2's voice cast.
Walker (Female) – Amanda C. Miller
Right at the start of the game, you get to choose whether your Walker is male or female. The female version is played by Amanda C. Miller. While you may know her voice as Boruto Uzumaki in the Naruto series, you'll recognise her from other video games too. She has played characters in the likes of NieR: Automata, Agents of Mayhem, PlanetSide 2, and World of Warcraft.
Walker (Male) – Sam Riegel
The male version of Walker, however, is played by Sam Riegel. You'll likely know him best for playing Donatello in the TMNT TV show, but he's also lent his voice to a lot of video games. Most notably, he's played Teddie in Persona 4 and the spin-offs, Peter Parker in the Amazing Spider-Man movie tie-ins, and smaller roles in the likes of Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us.
Loosum – Courtenay Taylor
Loosum is one of the characters you meet early on in Rage 2 that you complete mission for and she is played by Courtenay Taylor, who is a very experienced video game actor. During her career, she has played the player character in Fallout 4, Scarlett Rhodes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Amanda Holliday in Destiny 2.
Dr. Kvasir – Neil Ross
One of a few actors in Rage 2's voice cast to return after being in the first game, Neil Ross plays Dr. Kvasir. Away from the series, you may also know him from playing the Codex Narrator in the Mass Effect games, Colonel Volgin in Metal Gear Solid 3, and the Narrator in the original Call of Duty. His experience playing narrator/announcers doesn't stop there though, as he also played Museum Narrator in Back to the Future: Part II in 1989.
Klegg – Jason Spisak
Jason Spisak is another pretty experienced member of Rage 2's voice cast, in which he plays Klegg. You've likely heard his voice very recently, having played Raymond 'Skizzo' Sarkoski in Days Gone and Karney in Anthem. Before this year though, he has played Scorpion in Marvel's Spider-Man and Carrus in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Lily – Carla Tassara
Carla Tassara is another member of Rage 2's voice actor cast who has played a lot of characters in other games recently. You'll likely know her as Knight Lucia / Katherine Pinn in Fallout 4, Tekla in Wolfenstein: The New Order, and RAY n Mighty No. 9. She plays Lily, your character's sister in Rage 2.
Marshall – Jason Hightower
While Jason Hightower might be most known for his voice work in animated shows from Star Wars Resistance to Clash-A-Rama!, he has some video game credits that you'll know. He is El Yayo in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. In Rage 2, he plays Marshall, who's another of the characters that you complete missions for.
Cross – Josh Petersdorf
Josh Petersdorf's acting credits may not be plentiful, but most gaming fans will know one voice actor role in particular. He has played Terminus in Paladins, Storm Tech Chaac in Smite, and Duma in Fire Emblem Heroes, but you'll know him mostly for playing Roadhog in Overwatch. He plays Cross in Rage 2.
Desdemonya Cold – Julianne Grossman
While Julianne Grossman is known mostly for playing the Discovery Computer in Star Trek Discovery, and roles in DC animated shows, she has lent her voice to video games before too. You might know her as Angela Wagner in Prey: Mooncrash, Ranja in For Honor, or Supreme Chancellor Saresh in Star War: The Old Republic. She plays Desdemonya Cold in Rage 2.
RUCKUS – Andrew WK
You'll probably know Andrew WK more for his music, and particularly his performance at Bethesda's E3 show last year, when the game was announced. Not only is he tied to the game with his music, but he is a voice actor for a character too. Ruckus is the character that you might recognise if you picked up the collector's edition of Rage 2.
Phoenix – Lynda Carter
Your car in Rage 2, Phoenix, talks to you as you make your way from point to point in the open world. You'll likely know the voice too as the car is played by Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman fame. This isn't Carter's first video game role though, as she has also played Magnolia in Fallout 4 and Azura in The Elder Scrolls Online and Skyrim.
That does it for the voice actors of Rage 2's voice cast. For more on Rage 2, such as tips and tricks, be sure to check out our wiki guide.

At Nova Counseling Services our caring team of experienced professionals provides alcohol and drug addiction treatment for adult men and women, age 18 years and older. People come to Nova from a variety of referral sources: the family doctor, a detox center, an outpatient counselor, a past client, a family member or a friend.
Delivering high quality care at an affordable cost is the basis of our services at Nova.
We offer a continuum of treatment for addiction, including a residential program, transitional living (halfway house) an intensive outpatient program and complementary outpatient services, including aftercare.
Nova is not a dual-diagnosis treatment facility.
Nova treats clients whose substance addiction is the primary diagnosis.
All individuals must be examined by a physician prior to admission or, if need be, at the time of admission to determine general fitness for treatment, to determine freedom from communicable diseases and to undergo a tuberculosis test. Nova can transport new clients to a local hospital or clinic to get this checkup and test. The cost of this exam and TB test is not included in our treatment rate.
Detoxification may be necessary at a hospital or detox center prior to admission at Nova.
Detoxification is sometimes necessary to prevent serious medical complications, such as delirium tremors or seizures.
We will not accept individuals who are in need of detoxification services by a hospital or detox center.
The need for detoxification can be reviewed during the initial phone screening.
Our staff can suggest options for receiving this care prior to admission.
Antidepressants are considered an acceptable medication.
Other medications – such as pain pills, muscle relaxants, antihistamines or other medications with a potential for abuse – must be reviewed at the time of screening and may not be allowed.
A doctor must be involved in every circumstance when a change of medication is required.
Nova is an abstinence-based program.
Methadone or suboxone are not allowed.
Admission to an addiction rehabilitation facility like Nova can be stressful.
It may be the only way to find freedom from the hold of alcohol and drug addiction.
At Nova, we try to help all clients feel welcome throughout their time at our facility, from their initial admission to their new found freedom at discharge.
Nova's hours of admittance to our residential program are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Late admissions may be approved by the Clinical Director.
Clients should be transported to Nova by family or friends. We ask that clients do not drive themselves to Nova.
Upon arrival, clients are greeted by staff.
A private meeting is then held with the new client to answer any questions, identify any withdrawal symptoms and further prepare them for their experience at Nova.
Payment information is reviewed and payment is collected, as appropriate.
Nova Counseling will provide necessary information to the client's family members/friends, including how to contact their loved one during their treatment stay, as well as the visiting hours.
Introduce the client and their family to the Family Support Program.
Once this information has been provided and questions have been answered, there is an opportunity to say goodbye.
Within 48 hours, the client is transported to a local clinic or hospital for the general fitness exam and tuberculosis test (if these have not been taken care of prior to admission). Sometimes we discover at this point that detoxification services are needed at a hospital. These arrangements are worked out with the client and, when need be, the family.
