Baxter, His Role Shrinking, Cut by Jets
By GERALD ESKENAZI AUG. 26, 1996
The retooled Jet offense underwent another major overhaul today when Brad Baxter was cut after six years at fullback. He will be replaced by Richie Anderson.
When the Jets face the Broncos in Denver in the season opener next Sunday, the offense will have only two starters who were in the same positions on opening day a year earlier: wide receiver Wayne Chrebet and left guard Roger Duffy.
The Jets now have only five players on the roster who were here five years ago.
Baxter's departure was foreshadowed in May, when he missed a week of the so-called voluntary minicamp because of his cattle-hauling business. It was a bad decision on his part because the new offensive coordinator, Ron Erhardt, wanted to make the fullback a bigger part of the passing game. At the time, Baxter had said he felt as if the Jets believed he had ''committed a crime by not being here.''
''He wasn't going to be on the field a lot,'' Coach Rich Kotite explained today after the especially unpleasant task of cutting Baxter. ''Our fullback has to be a receiver. Based on what took place in training camp, Richie did better than Brad.''
Anderson, a fourth-year player who had only five carries last season, now teams with running back Adrian Murrell, who is being challenged for his job by an increasingly impressive Reggie Cobb.
Kotite remembered Baxter today as a practice-squad walk-on in 1989. A year later, he took over at fullback, set a Jets' rookie record with six rushing touchdowns, and by 1991 led American Football Conference rushers with 11 touchdowns as a short-yardage specialist.
''He's never been asked to be a major player as a receiver,'' Kotite added. ''His skills have been as a tough player, blocking and rushing.''
Anderson came close to becoming the Jets' featured back last year. But he injured his ankle in the preseason and the position was ultimately claimed by Murrell. Anderson was the club's sixth-round draft pick of 1993 out of Penn State, where he finished second in the nation with 19 touchdowns.
He is not in the classic mold of a fullback. At 6 feet 2 inches and 220 pounds, he is built more like a fast running back than a bulky fullback who specializes in blocking and picking up the tough short yards, especially near the goal line. On the other hand, Anderson is fast enough to line up as a receiver in the slot.
''My first reaction when I heard about it today was feeling bad for Brad, that he got cut,'' said the 24-year-old Anderson. ''I look at this as an opportunity to make plays and being out there on the field gives me the opportunity.''
The Jets made two other significant changes in their depth chart today: Keyshawn Johnson is now listed as second string at flanker behind Chrebet. And Cobb, who generated a 4.8 yards a game rushing average in the preseason to Murrell's 3.6, is No. 2 behind Murrell.
''Keyshawn will be playing more, but he won't start,'' Kotite said. Still, since the Jets will routinely employ three receivers, Johnson appears to have become a virtual starter. Chrebet remains ahead of him on two-man receiving sets, teamed with Jeff Graham.
There could be additional major changes at Denver: Jumbo Elliott is day to day with a groin muscle pull. He would be replaced by Harry Boatswain, the James Madison High School graduate who will be commuting here from his parents' home near Brooklyn College. Boatswain has started only one game at left tackle, with the 49ers in 1994, but he said today, ''I'm more comfortable on the left side.''
Boatswain said he understood that ''there is more focus put on the left tackle because that's the quarterback's blind side.
''The defense tries to exploit you there.''
Kotite also said there was ''a high-percentage chance'' that the rookie Ray Mickens will replace Otis Smith (hamstring pull) at right cornerback.
Like Boatswain, Mickens knows the Broncos will try to exploit his position, especially because he is a rookie.
''They'll pull out all the stops against me,'' he said.
He also has to be careful about his penalties; he has gotten flagged four times in the past two games. He claimed that some of the penalties happened because he is unfamiliar with the pro rules.
Kotite wasn't buying that.
''I told him during the game, 'You're losing your judgment,' '' Kotite said. ''He's got to have poise. There's no quick fix in becoming an N.F.L. corner.''
EXTRA POINTS
Except for BRAD BAXTER, guard TERRENCE WISDOM was the only Jet cut Sunday who had ever appeared in a regular-season game with the team. The others dropped were wide receiver CHRIS DOERING, defensive linemen JEFF FAULKNER and BOBBY HAMILTON, tight end BRIAN GAINE and linebacker RAWLE HOWARD. . . . The Jets' 52-man roster includes only 14 players who were on the team before Coach RICH KOTITE took over last season. . . . The team will go into the season with two tight ends, but is looking to pick up an offensive tackle. . . . Place-kicker NICK LOWERY was excused from Sunday's light walk-through to participate in the Arthur Ashe charity tennis tournament.

Some of the most vital and athletic ballet dancers are those trained in Russia. The Moscow Classical Ballet started off as the «Young Ballet», USSR State Choreographic Company. This ballet troupe was established by the USSR Ministry of Culture and toured the Soviet Union as well as various countries performing classical ballet in its traditional form throughout the world.
The holder of 15 gold medals in international competition and the winners of 3 prizes at the Paris Academy of Dance, the Moscow Classical Ballet earned the distinction of being one of the few Russian ballet companies still supported by the Russian government. Recently the troupe was granted the title «Academic Theatre», a prestigious titled granted to only a few top Russian ballet companies by the Russian government. Presently on tour in Brazil, the Moscow Classical Ballet is due to appear in the United States at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, NY, on Sunday, November 29 at 6:00 p.m.
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, under the directorship of Eva Bornstein, is a little known rare jewel nestled on the campus of Lehman College, wherein theatre goers can see outstanding entertainers and performances for less than what they would pay at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and other Manhattan performance venues. In fact, for the Sunday, November 29, 6:00 p.m., Moscow Classical Ballet Nutcracker performance, of children can get tickets for $10.00 wherein they can sit anywhere within the theatre. This is the best bargain in town for parents seeking to introduce their children 12 years of age and under, to culture and ballet. The Nutcracker ballet is very kid friendly and is a beautiful ballet for the entire family.
I had the opportunity to speak with the producer of the Moscow Classical Ballet, Robert Friedman, president of Robert Friedman Presents, a company that has worked with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Prague Madrigal Antiqua, The Black Light Theatre of Praque and other musical ensembles, theatre and dance companies. He co-produced the long-running romantic comedy «Talley's Foley», as well as Caryl Churchill's comedy «Cloud Nine», Neil Simon's «Biloxi Blues», A.R. Gurney's «Love Letters», and Garath Armstrong's «Shylock».
Bringing international troupes to the United States can occasionally be difficult. «The American government is not very conducive to foreign exchange. The IRS is now charging 30% off the top of any foreign artists' fee. A thirty percent fee is pretty onerous because it does not reflect at all the profit, since ballet troupes performing in the United States are lucky to break even. With the dollar being so weak, foreign artists performing in the United States are already getting paid almost half the fee they would earn in their own country. Now people are reluctant to even come to America to perform which is very sad», remarked Friedman. «Nancy Pelosi helped get the Moscow Classical Ballet into the country. If it weren't for her, the tour may not have even happened. She was able to help us cut through the bureaucracy. Bringing the costumes and sets into the country is also another problem. However, to see the audience reaction makes it all worthwhile», chuckled the producer who seems to love the business he is in.
«Ballet requires a lot of strength and endurance. It's a young person's profession. Generally the troupe members start around 18 years old. Women can stay in the profession into their 40s but the men usually retire in their 30s, although, Mikhail Baryshnikov danced up until his 50s. All the lifting and leaps and bounds take their toll on the body», stated the classical producer.
The Nutcracker is generally seen around the Christmas holidays in America. «The Nutcracker Suite is the tale of a young girl who gets a nutcracker from her uncle as a gift. The nutcracker is a prince. The young girl has a dream about the nutcracker and falls in love with the prince in the beautiful land of sugar plums», said Friedman. «The Nutcracker is one of the best ballets to take a child to. It has the rat king, mouse, gun powder, soldiers, swans, and is just beautiful. This ballet has caught on all over the world. These Moscow Classical Ballet dancers are beautiful young strong dancers with a great deal of vitality since the Russian training is the best in the world. The dancers attend dance class everyday because dance is a very demanding profession. It's a profession you must love», remarked Mr. Friedman of the troupe of 40 dancers.
The Moscow Classical Ballet will appear in New Jersey and then at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx, New York. I encourage parents to take their children to this delightful performance of the Nutcracker since children 12 and under, can see it for $10.00. For adults ticket prices run $35.00, $30.00, and $25.00. Tickets can be purchased on line at www.LehmanCenter.org or by calling the Lehman Center box office at 718-960-8833 (Mon. through Fri. 10am-5pm; Tues 10am-7pm and beginning at 12 noon on the day of the concert). Lehman Center is accessible by #4 or D train to Bedford Park Blvd. Parking is free.

Line 7 of the Beijing Subway () is a rapid transit line in Beijing. It runs parallel and to the south of Line 1 and Batong line, from the Beijing West railway station in Fengtai District to  in Tongzhou District. Like Line 6, Line 7 provides additional relief to the overcapacity Line 1 adding another east–west trunk line to the Beijing Subway network. The line uses 8-car Type B trains.

Stations
List of stations from west to east.

Planning
Line 6 was originally conceived in 1973 as a "pan-handle" shaped route incorporating the central sections of today's Lines 6 and 7. In 1983 Line 6 was dissolved into two distinct lines. The section under Guang'anmen, Luomashi, Zhushikou and Guangqumen Streets and the "handle" branch to Fengtai became Line 7. The rest of the loop with a new south eastern extension to what was at the time the Beijing Jiaohuachang (Coking Plant) complex became Line 6. Line 7 was later revised westward to terminate at a new major railway station called Beijing West railway station and Line 9 taking over servicing Fengtai. When Beijing West railway station started construction in the early 1990s space was set aside for a subway station allowing Cross-platform interchange for the future Lines 7 and 9. By 1993 the planned section of Line 6 heading to Jiaohuachang was revised as an eastern extension of Line 7, forming the alignment built today.

Line 7 was originally slated to have 15 stations, from the Beijing West railway station to Baiziwan.  A revised plan approved by the Planning Committee of the Beijing Municipal government called for 21 stations over , ending in Jiaohuachang.

In 2013, planners revised the design of Line 7 from using the standard 6 car trains to 8 car trains after performing a detailed transport study of the Fatou area. Fatou's population projections were upgraded from 100,000 to 220,000 people and be a significant employment hub in the future. Planners decided that 6 cars trains would have insufficient capacity for the new demand projections. Line 7 was originally planned to use 1500 V DC overhead lines to power the longer subway trains. However, the already completed platforms at Beijing West railway station assumed the line would use a 750 V DC 3rd rail system like Beijing's legacy subway lines and built with vertical clearance for such. The line ultimately used a 1500 V DC 3rd rail system as a compromise.

In 8 July 2022, an EIA document regarding Phase III construction of Beijing rail transport system (2022–2027) announced the Phase III of Line 7, from Beijing West Railway station to Wanshousi, it will be a 6.4 km long section with 4 new stations.

History

Phase 1
Construction began in January 2010. It started test runs in September 2014 with full operation beginning on December 28, 2014.

Eastern extension (Phase 2)
The eastern extension runs  through Chaoyang and Tongzhou Districts. The extension adds 9 new stations and  of new line. The extension is fully underground. It was opened on December 28, 2019.  station opened on August 26, 2021.

Timeline
January 8, 2008: Plans for Line 7 reported in the media.  Construction scheduled to begin by the end of the year.
Oct. 30, 2008: Line 7 route plan with 23 stations receive regulatory approval.  Construction still scheduled to begin by end of the year.
July 19, 2009: Construction on Line 7 announced to begin in late August 2009.
Nov. 6, 2009: Commencement of Line 7 construction deferred to 2010.
Jan. 19, 2010: Construction reportedly begun along Guangqu Road near the easternmost section of the line.
Dec. 28, 2014: Operations of Phase I of Line 7 begin, except for Shuangjing station and Fatou station.
Dec. 30, 2018: An infill station of Phase I, Fatou station was opened.
Dec. 28, 2019: Operations of Phase II of Line 7 begin, except for Universal Resort station. An infill station of Phase I, Shuangjing station was opened.

Of Tryants Premier a new track from their recently released E.P. and a review 8/10
Of Tyrants come in fast and hard with a hardcore approach blended with elements of deathcore tones and a groove that metalheads and hardcore kids look forward to. A perfect blend of death metal and hardcore style vocals, high energy, pounding drums, heavy breakdowns, break-neck blasts and heartfelt grooves, the band refers to their blended style as "Dudecore."
I have heard the new E.P. and it is great to give you an idea I will give you the breakdown on it .
Of Tyrants
These Days Are Deadly
Steve Lally
Greg Hughes
Chris Lindsay
Blindfolds for a Blindman
This song begins with the sounds of wind blowing and crickets chirping, the band comes in hard at the: 23 mark. The lay down a groove instantly with the drums and the tempo is a slower mid paced feel until they come in with that fast hardcore beat. They give us a few bars here and there of some low and slow rhythm followed by a bar of blasts, and then back into that hardcore feel. At 1:51 we hear R2 make an appearance with a high pitched scream. They go back into that slower mid paced feel but give us that solid groove, however around the 3:20 mark they take things to a heavier level with death metal vocals for a section. This is an awesome track to kick the E.P. off with.
Wind and crickets again with the band fading in on guitars and then drums on the snare for a few bars, until the drums hit us with snare and bass drum simultaneously for a bar and then the whole band joins in hard. I like this song, the guitar riff at the 1:18 minute mark is a great driving riff, and is the perfect blend for this hardcore metal hybrid. One of the highlights however is at the 1:57 mark when listeners should be warned that if they are in or around a pit, they will get swallowed up. This breakdown is bad ass, and there is no other way to put it, that breakdown just made the entire song for me.
Sick Tribal Tattz Bruh
Lone bass riff for a bar sets things up with the rhythm of this song, I love the energy these guys have, and the vocals bring back that sound like Bury your Dead had. That tough guy hardcore style, but they seamlessly transition into the death metal sounding vocals. For people like me, who are a fan of hardcore and metal I would go to a metal festival and you can watch the metal band play and the hardcore fans would go outside or to the merch area, and then the metal band would end and it would be a hardcore band and the crowd shifted again. These guys give a sound that can keep the crowd from shifting, going from a hardcore style to a deathcore style, blast beats and growls will keep everyone listening.
The band plays one bar of intro riff and then the skank blast fast paced rhythm sets in and you can't help but start to move. This song basically grabs you by the shirt and whips you in to the mosh pit. The low and slow beat downs, and then going right into a fast paced head banging blissful moment. This song is awesome, this may be my favorite of the E.P.
War Never Changes
And now the last track of the album starts with a powerful two word message. These guys are playing a song that you can tell the reason why they end with this one is because it could be a show stopper. The heavy artillery style breakdowns and then the fast paced blasting, the hardcore gang vocals. This song is the prescription to get everyone moving and experiencing the adrenaline rush of being hit in the pit.
I love this E.P. I am looking forward to seeing these guys live and hearing more of what they have in the future, as an E.P. I would say this is a solid 8/10 from me, they knock you out, and they have some fun, and blend their sound very well.
Now without any further words we would like to premier "Blindfolds for a Blindman" for you to stream!!!\m/

Read an Excerpt from "Mexican Gothic"
Read an Excerpt from Mexican Gothic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Haunted House Mystery
"The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets."
By Michelle Hart Published: Jun 24, 2020
Temi Oyeyola
Mix a bit of Rebecca with The Haunting of Hill House and you'll have some sense of the spellbinding thrill of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic, a ghost story that'll have you furiously turning the screw pages.
All 98 Books in Oprah's Book Club
33 Thrillers That'll Keep You Turning the Page
What to Read When You Can't Sleep
Set in 1950s Mexico, the novel centers on a socialite, Noemí, who is called away from her gilded life to a mysterious mansion housing both her newlywed cousin (seemingly descending into madness), and a whole lot of eerie secrets.
In this excerpt, we see Noemí interact with her cousin, Catalina, Catalina's English husband, and a doctor who believes Catalina may be suffering from tuberculosis. Of course, all is not as it seems...
Catalina sat by the window again that morning. She seemed remote, like the last time Noemí had seen her. Noemí thought of a drawing of Ophelia that used to hang in their house. Ophelia dragged by the current, glimpsed through a wall of reeds. This was Catalina that morning. Yet it was good to see her, to sit together and update her cousin on the people and things in Mexico City. She detailed an exhibit she had been to three weeks prior, knowing Catalina would be interested in such things, and then imitated a couple of friends of theirs with such accuracy a smile formed on her cousin's lips, and Catalina laughed.

"You are so good when you do impressions. Tell me, are you still bent on those theater classes?" Catalina asked.
"No. I have been thinking about anthropology. A master's degree. Doesn't that sound interesting?"
"Always with a new idea, Noemí. Always a new pursuit."
She'd heard such a refrain often. She supposed that her family was right to view her university studies skeptically, seeing as she'd changed her mind already thrice about where her interests lay, but she knew rather fiercely that she wanted to do something special with her life. She hadn't found what exactly that would be, although anthropology appeared to her more promising than previous explorations.
Anyway, when Catalina spoke, Noemí didn't mind, because her words never sounded like her parents' reproaches. Catalina was a creature of sighs and phrases as delicate as lace. Catalina was a dreamer and therefore believed in Noemí's dreams.
"And you, what have you been up to? Don't think I haven't noticed you hardly write. Have you been pretending you live on a windswept moor, like in Wuthering Heights?" Noemí asked. Catalina had worn out the pages of that book.
"No. It's the house. The house takes most of my time," Catalina said, extending a hand and touching the velvet draperies.
She knew rather fiercely that she wanted to do something special with her life.
"Were you planning on renovating it? I wouldn't blame you if you razed it and built it anew. It's rather ghastly, isn't it? And chilly too."
"Damp. There's a dampness to it."
"I was too busy freezing to death last night to mind the dampness."
"The darkness and the damp. It's always damp and dark and so very cold."
As Catalina spoke, the smile on her lips died. Her eyes, which had been distant, suddenly fell on Noemí with the sharpness of a blade. She clutched Noemí's hands and leaned forward, speaking low.
"I need you to do a favor for me, but you can't tell anyone about it. You must promise you won't tell. Promise?"
"There's a woman in town. Her name is Marta Duval. She made a batch of medicine for me, but I've run out of it. You must go to her and get more. Do you understand?"
"Yes, of course. What kind of medicine is it?"
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you do it. Will you? Please say you will and tell no one about it."
"Yes, if you want me to."
Catalina nodded. She was clutching Noemí's hands so tightly that her nails were digging into the soft flesh of her wrists.
"Catalina, I'll speak to—"
"Shush. They can hear you," Catalina said and went quiet, her eyes bright as polished stones.
"Who can hear me?" Noemí asked slowly, as her cousin's eyes fixed on her, unblinking.
Catalina slowly leaned closer to her, whispering in her ear. "It's in the walls," she said.

"What is?" Noemí asked, and the question was a reflex, for she found it hard to think what to ask with her cousin's blank eyes upon her, eyes that did not seem to see; it was like staring into a sleepwalker's face.
"The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets. Don't listen to them, press your hands against your ears, Noemí. There are ghosts. They're real. You'll see them eventually."
Abruptly Catalina released her cousin and stood up, gripping the curtain with her right hand and staring out the window. Noemí wanted to ask her to explain herself, but Florence walked in then.
"Dr. Cummins has arrived. He needs to examine Catalina and will meet you in the sitting room later," the woman said.
"I don't mind staying," Noemí replied.
"But he'll mind," Florence told her with a definite finality. Noemí could have pressed the point, but she elected to leave rather than get into an argument. She knew when to back down, and she could sense that insisting now would result in a hostile refusal. They might even send her packing if she made a fuss. She was a guest, but she knew herself to be an inconvenient one.
She was a guest, but she knew herself to be an inconvenient one.
The sitting room, in the daytime, once she peeled the curtains aside, seemed much less welcoming than at night. For one it was chilly, the fire that had warmed the room turned to ashes, and with daylight streaming through the windows every imperfection was laid bare more strikingly. The faded velour settees appeared a sickly green, almost bilious, and there were many cracks running down the enamel tiles decorating the fireplace. A little oil painting, showing a mushroom from different angles, had been attacked, ironically, by mold: tiny black spots marred its colors and defaced the image. Her cousin was right about the dampness.
Noemí rubbed her wrists, looking at the place where Catalina had dug her nails against her skin, and waited for the doctor to come downstairs. He took his time, and when he walked into the sitting room, he was not alone. Virgil accompanied him. She sat on one of the green settees, and the doctor took the other one, setting his black leather bag at his side. Virgil remained standing.
"I am Arthur Cummins," the doctor said. "You must be Miss Noemí Taboada."
The doctor dressed in clothes of a good cut, but which were a decade or two out of fashion. It felt like everyone who visited High Place had been stuck in time, but then she imagined in such a small town there would be little need to update one's wardrobe. Virgil's clothing, however, seemed fashionable. Either he had bought himself a new wardrobe the last time he'd been in Mexico City or he considered himself exceptional and his clothes worthy of more expense. Perhaps it was his wife's money that allowed a certain lavishness.
"Yes. Thank you for taking the time to speak to me," Noemí said.
"It's my pleasure. Now, Virgil says you have a few questions for me."
"I do. They tell me my cousin has tuberculosis."
"The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets."
Before she could continue, the doctor was nodding and speaking. "She does. It's nothing to be concerned about. She's been receiving streptomycin to help her get over it, but the 'rest' cure still holds true. Plenty of sleep, plenty of relaxation, and a good diet are the true solution to this malady."
The doctor took off his glasses and took out a handkerchief, proceeding to clean the lenses as he spoke. "An ice bag on the head or an alcohol rub, that's really what all this is about. It will pass. Soon she'll be right as rain. Now, if you'll excuse me—"
The doctor stuffed the glasses in the breast pocket of his jacket, no doubt intending to leave the conversation at that, but it was Noemí's turn to interrupt him.
"No, I won't excuse you yet. Catalina is very odd. When I was a little girl, I remember my aunt Brigida had tuberculosis and she did not act like Catalina at all."
"Every patient is different."
"She wrote a very uncharacteristic letter to my father, and she seems unlike herself," Noemí said, trying to put her impressions into words. "She has changed."
"Tuberculosis doesn't change a person, it merely intensifies the traits the patient already possesses."

"Well, then, there's definitely something wrong with Catalina, because she's never possessed this listlessness. She has such an odd look about her."
The doctor took out his glasses and put them on again. He must not have liked what he saw and frowned.
"You did not let me finish," the doctor muttered, sounding snappish. His eyes were hard. She pressed her lips together. "Your cousin is a very anxious girl, quite melancholic, and the illness has intensified this."
"Catalina is not anxious."
"You deny her depressive tendencies?"
Noemí recalled what her father had said in Mexico City. He'd called Catalina melodramatic. But melodramatic and anxious were not the same thing at all, and Catalina had definitely never heard voices in Mexico City, and she hadn't had that bizarre expression on her face.
"What depressive tendencies?" Noemí asked.
"When her mother died, she became withdrawn," Virgil said. "She had periods of great melancholy, crying in her room and talking nonsense. It's worse now."
He had not spoken until then, and now he chose to bring that up, and not only to bring it up but to speak with a careful detachment, as if he were describing a stranger instead of his wife.
"Yes, and as you said her mother had died," Noemí replied. "And that was years and years ago, when she was a girl."
"Perhaps you'll find certain things come back," he said.
"Although tuberculosis is hardly a death sentence, it can still be upsetting for the patient," the doctor explained. "The isolation, the physical symptoms. Your cousin has suffered from chills and night sweats; they're not a pretty sight, I assure you, and codeine provides temporary relief. You cannot expect her to be cheery and baking pies."
"I'm concerned. She's my cousin, after all."
"Yes, but if you begin to get agitated too, then we won't be better off, will we?" the doctor said, shaking his head. "Now, I really must be going. I'll see you next week, Virgil."
"Doctor," she said.
"No, no, I will be going," the doctor repeated, like a man who has become aware of an impending mutiny aboard a ship.

The doctor shook Noemí's hand, grabbed his bag, and off he went, leaving her upon the grotesque settee, biting her lips and not knowing quite what to say. Virgil took the spot the doctor had vacated and leaned back, aloof. If there ever was a man who had ice in his veins, it was this one. His face was bloodless. Had he really courted Catalina? Courted anyone? She could not picture him expressing affection toward any living thing.
"Dr. Cummins is a very capable physician," he said with a voice that was indifferent, a voice that indicated he would not have cared if Cummins was the best or worst physician on Earth. "His father was the family's doctor, and now he watches over our health. I assure you, he has never been found lacking in any way."
"I'm sure he is a good doctor."
"You do not sound sure."
She shrugged, trying to make light of it, thinking that if she kept a smile on her face and her words were airy, he might be more receptive. After all, he seemed to be taking this whole matter lightly. "If Catalina is ill, then she might be better off in a sanatorium close to Mexico City, somewhere where she can be tended to properly."
"You don't believe I can tend to my wife?"
"I didn't say that. But this house is cold and the fog outside is not the most uplifting sight."
"Is this the mission that your father gave you?" Virgil asked. "That you would come here and snatch Catalina away?"
She shook her head. "No."
"It feels like it," he said briskly, though he did not sound upset. The words remained cold. "I realize that my home is not the most modern and most fashionable there is. High Place was once a beacon, a shining jewel of a house, and the mine produced so much silver that we could afford to cram armoires with silks and velvet and fill our cups with the finest wines. It is not so anymore.
"But we know how to take care of ill people. My father is old, he's not in perfect health, yet we tend to him adequately. I wouldn't do any less for the woman I've married."
"Still. I would like to ask, perhaps, what Catalina needs is a specialist in other matters. A psychiatrist—"
He laughed so loudly she jumped a little in her seat, for until now his face had been very serious, and the laughter was unpleasant. The laughter challenged her, and his eyes settled on her.
"A psychiatrist. And where might you find one around these parts? You think he might be summoned out of thin air? There is a public clinic in town with a single doctor and nothing more. You'll hardly find a psychiatrist there. You'd have to head to Pachuca, maybe even to Mexico City, and fetch one. I doubt they'd come."
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
"At least the doctor at the clinic might offer a second opinion, or he might have other ideas about Catalina."
"There's a reason why my father brought his own doctor from England, and it's not because the health care in this place was magnificent. The town is poor and the people there are coarse, primitive. It's not a place crawling with doctors."
"I must insist—"
"Yes, yes, I do believe you will insist," he said, standing up, the striking blue eyes still unkindly fixed on her. "You get your way in most things, don't you, Miss Taboada? Your father does as you wish. Men do as you wish."
He reminded her of a fellow she'd danced with at a party the previous summer. They had been having fun, briskly stepping to a danzón, and then came time for the ballads. During "Some Enchanted Evening" the man held her far too tightly and tried to kiss her. She turned her head, and when she looked at him again there was pure, dark mockery across his features.
Noemí stared back at Virgil, and he stared at her with that same sort of mockery: a bitter, ugly stare.
"What do you mean?" she asked, challenge peppering the question.
"I recall Catalina mentioning how insistent you can be when you want a beau to do your bidding. I won't fight you. Get your second opinion if you can find it," he said with a chilling finality as he walked out of the room.
She felt a little pleased to have needled him. She sensed that he had expected—as had the doctor—that she would accept his words mutely.

Take advantage of avocados, before it's too late
California's drought is bad news for guacamole lovers as it takes 72 gallons of water to grow a pound of avocados, compared nine gallons to grow a pound of tomatoes.

Weekend Recipes Avocados

Avocado toast with cilantro lime cashew cream
Warning avocado aficionados: reading the following article may result in a fit of hysteria, but bottle those tears, because they may help the cause.
The extreme drought conditions in California may soon mean no more avocado toast and guacamole for a while.
"Eventually, avocados may simply become too expensive to grow profitably, in which case farmers will be forced to switch to something else, like grapes."
According to New York Magazine reporter Adam Sternbergh, who wrote a lengthy piece on this calamity, which included an interview with the state's foremost avocado expert, farmer, and the chairman of the California Avocado Commission, Charley Wolf, the state's avocado industry – which accounts for more than 80 percent of the avocados grown in the U.S. – has gone dry.
Currently, 44 percent of California is classified as being in an "exceptional drought," the worst classification, the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln declared.
"It takes 72 gallons of water to grow a pound of avocados, compared to, for instance, nine gallons to grow a pound of tomatoes."
This is especially bad news for Americans, given that last year we each ate an average of 5.8 pounds of avocados, according to the New York Magazine article.
Even worse, it may be too late for taking shorter showers: California's dry spell has already lasted three years, and now it's pushing a fourth, meaning over each of the last three years, California has missed out on a full year's worth of rain, the National Drought Mitigation Center said.
Even if this year's growing season -- which typically runs from March to September -- brings a normal amount of precipitation, it wouldn't be good enough.
"The avocado's native environment is tropical," Wolk told Sternbergh, adding that it takes 72 gallons of water to grow a pound of avocados, compared to, for instance, nine gallons to grow a pound of tomatoes, "and we're growing them in a desert."

García Cantó''' (La Romana (Alicante), 7 juli 1986) is een gewezen Spaans profvoetballer, beter bekend onder de naam "Álvaro".

Opgeleid bij de jeugdploegen van UD Aspe, Valencia CF, terugkeer naar UD Aspe en Alicante CF, startte hij zijn professionele carrière tijdens het seizoen 2004-2005 bij de B-ploeg van Alicante CF. Het daaropvolgende seizoen stootte hij door naar de A-ploeg, waar hij bijna vier seizoenen speelde. De ploeg speelde in de Segunda División B. Álvaro speelde drie seizoenen voor de promotie na respectievelijke een derde, eerste en tweede plaats. Het laatste seizoen dwong de ploeg de promotie naar de Segunda División A af. De speler volgde de ploeg en debuteerde tijdens het seizoen 2008-2009 op het tweede niveau van het Spaanse betaalde voetbal.

Tijdens dit seizoen zette Álvaro in januari 2009 een stap terug naar Cádiz CF. Deze ploeg eindigde op het einde van het seizoen als eerste na de reguliere competitie en dwong de promotie naar de Segunda División A af na het spelen van de eindronde.

Het daaropvolgende seizoen 2009-2010 trad Álvaro op het niveau van de Segunda División B aan bij Racing Ferrol. De ploeg speelde echter zeer slecht en Álvaro verliet in januari 2010 de ploeg en tekende bij UD Alzira, een ploeg uit de Tercera División. Deze ploeg dwong de promotie naar het hoger niveau af na een tweede plaats na de reguliere competitie.

Voor persoonlijke redenen bleef Álvaro echter tijdens het seizoen 2010-2011 op het niveau van de Tercera División. Hij tekende bij Novelda CF, maar tekende in januari 2011 bij CD Alcoyano waarmee hij derde werd na de reguliere competitie in de Segunda División B. In de eindronde kon deze ploeg de promotie naar de Segunda División A afdwingen. Tijdens het seizoen 2011-2012 volgde hij de ploeg en zou voor de tweede keer in zijn carrière aantreden in de Segunda División A. De ploeg eindigde op de eenentwintigste plaats en kon zo de degradatie niet afwenden.

Hij zocht een nieuwe ploeg voor het seizoen 2012-2013 en vond deze bij de Griekse eersteklasser Asteras Tripoli. Dit buitenlandse experiment bleek echter niet succesvol te zijn; bij de winterstop had Álvaro nog maar één wedstrijd gespeeld. Daarom verliet hij in januari 2013 de ploeg voor FC Cartagena, een ploeg uit de Segunda División B. Daar moest hij zijn gekwetste ploegmakker van vorig jaar, Fernando Martín Carreras, vervangen. De ploeg behaalde de eindronde, maar werd hier direct uitgeschakeld. Álvaro werd niet weerhouden voor het daaropvolgende seizoen.

Voor het seizoen 2013-2014 vond hij onderdak voor een jaar onderdak bij reeksgenoot CD Leganés. Na de reguliere competitie eindigde de ploeg tweede en dat gaf hun recht om mij te dingen voor promotie. De play-offs werden een succes, zodar de ploeg vanaf seizoen 2014-2015 uitkwam in de Segunda División A. Aangezien Alvoro een belangrijke bijdrage leverde in dit succes, werd zijn contract verlengd met een tweede seizoen.

Het daaropvolgende seizoen 2015-2016 zou hij echter weer een stapje terug zetten bij Huracán Valencia CF, een ploeg uit de Segunda División B. Maar na het faillissement van de club op het einde van 2015 stapte hij over naar reeksgenoot Hércules CF.

Het daaropvolgende seizoen 2016-2017 tekende hij voor reeksgenoot CD Alcoyano. Het zeizoen was bevredigend en hij zou nog een jaar bijtekenen. Na seizoen 2017-2018 zou hij echter een voorlopig punt zetten achter zijn professionele loopbaan.

Tijdens het seizoen 2019-2020 vond hij echter weer onderdak bij Novelda CF, een ploeg uit de Tercera División.

Home > Healthcare, Research & News > COVID-19 Vaccine: Understanding Additional Doses and Boosters
By Lisa Doggett
Don't wear a mask… actually, wear a mask. Spray your groceries with bleach… no, that's silly and unnecessary. Boosters are for everyone… no, boosters are only for older adults and those with chronic condition. No, we were right the first time—boosters are for everyone (age 12+).
I already struggle with dizziness related to MS. But keeping up with the ever-changing COVID-19 guidance really makes my head spin.
As a 2021-22 Vaccine Science Fellow with the American Academy of Family Physicians and an MS Warrior, I have been particularly interested in the vaccine recommendations for people living with MS. At first, I wondered if the vaccines would be safe for those of us taking disease-modifying therapies (they are). Then I wondered if they would work (they do). Now I'm trying to figure out how many vaccines I need, which type and when I should get them. It's confusing, and the guidelines continue to evolve as we learn more. So, here's what we know now:
The COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S.—the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna (the "mRNA vaccines"), and the single-dose Johnson & Johnson Janssen (J & J) vaccine—are all safe for people with MS.
The mRNA vaccines are effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19 and are now the preferred vaccines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, those who are unable or unwilling to receive an mRNA vaccine will continue to have access to the J & J vaccine.
They are safe and effective in people with MS.
They are recommended for everyone ages 5 and up (however, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one authorized for kids 5-17).
For almost everyone, the benefits far outweigh any potential (very small) risks of getting a vaccine.
The vaccines are the most effective tool we have to beat COVID-19.
We also now know that vaccine effectiveness decreases over time, and as new surges and variants emerge—such as the Delta variant, and most recently Omicron—we have needed to redouble our efforts to protect as many people as possible. Extra vaccine doses are a critical part of that strategy.
Booster Shots: Recommended for Everyone to Reinforce Protection
The CDC now recommends booster vaccines for all everyone age 12 and older. Boosters are safe, and they serve as a way to reinforce prior vaccine-acquired immunity to COVID-19.
Additional Dose: Recommended for Immunocompromised to Ensure Adequate Protection
People who are immunocompromised need third doses of a Pfizer or Moderna shot not as a booster, but as an "additional dose." If, like me, you take one of the disease-modifying drugs that can reduce your immune response to a vaccine, and you received two doses of an mRNA vaccine, you need an "additional dose" of the COVID-19 vaccine to help ensure adequate protection.
Check out the list of the applicable medicines that have been associated with reduced or absent antibody response to the vaccine.
Booster vs. Additional Dose Timing
Below is a chart that details the timing of booster shots vs. additional doses, broken down by vaccine type and eligibility:
Click the image for a larger version.
As an example, if you finished the two-shot series of the Pfizer vaccine in October and are immunocompromised, you should get your "additional dose" now, rather than waiting the full five months for a booster; if you finished the two-shot series of the Moderna vaccine in the same scenario, you should get your "additional" dose now, rather than waiting the full five months for a booster. For Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients, immunocompromised or not, a booster with an mRNA vaccine is now recommended at least two months after the initial J & J dose.
For now, nearly everyone with MS should do the following:
If you're not vaccinated, please get an mRNA shot as soon as possible. Misinformation is abundant, and I urge you to seek information from reliable sources, including the CDC and the Society. Vaccines will help protect you and everyone around you.
Check out the Society's website and talk to your healthcare provider for guidance on vaccine timing, depending on your MS medication, to enhance vaccine effectiveness.
Urge everyone around you to get vaccinated. By doing so, they are helping to protect not only themselves, but you and everyone else they interact with.
If you take certain disease-modifying therapies that compromise immune responses to vaccines, and it's been 28 days since you finished a two-dose series (Pfizer or Moderna), don't wait for a booster. Get an "additional dose" now or as soon as recommended by your doctor to ensure the best timing with your MS medication.
If you are getting an additional dose of Moderna, ensure it's the full dose not the booster dose, which is only a half dose.
If you had a single Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you should get a "booster" with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine two months after your first shot.
If you don't take a medicine that can reduce vaccine immunity and you received your second mRNA vaccine at least five months ago, you should get a "booster" with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
Of course, we continue to face unknowns. When I saw my neurologist in early December, we talked about one of them: Will I need a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine? I got my third dose of the Pfizer vaccine six months after my second dose, so does it count as an "additional dose" or a booster? Do I need another vaccine five months after my last shot (is your head spinning, too?)?
At this point, CDC vaccine guidelines recommend boosters for people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised five months after the "additional dose." But this guidance could change. At this time with all the information and risks available to us, my doctor and I have decided that I should get my booster shot five months after my additional dose.
Researchers continue to study how immunity to the disease changes over time. We don't know if some of us will end up needing even more doses or maybe an annual vaccine, like the flu shot. We do know SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can mutate into new variants, and it may change enough to reduce vaccine effectiveness over time. Vaccine manufacturers are already working to modify existing vaccines to be more protective against emerging variants. As the virus changes, so will the recommendations for vaccines and potentially other safety measures.
Those of us with MS are used to living with uncertainty. We never know when we might have a flare or a bad day challenged by mobility issues, brain fog, fatigue or some bizarre new symptom we never could have imagined. We learn to cope, to live in the moment, to adjust expectations. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we've made further adaptations, and we know to expect the unexpected, the inevitability of change. Over the next few months, I urge you to stay in touch with your healthcare provider and follow evolving guidance from the Society and CDC to decide if and when you might need further vaccines. And do your best to harness that courage and strength that comes from battling MS as we enter a new year challenged by the pandemic that just won't stop.

Billy Idol's Guide to Gaming
Posted by Runeslinger on August 21, 2010 · 1 Comment
I am convinced that not only was Billy Idol an avid gamer with a penchant for dragon-baiting and studded leather, but that he was also an expert developer of exquisitely detailed characters. If you read the following entry and are still unconvinced, I believe that if you look carefully at a freeze-frame of Mr. Idol in the air plane love song sequence of The Wedding Singer you will be able to gather all the proof you need to confirm my suspicions. Honest. Ignore Adam Sandler's cruel comment that, 'Even Billy Idol gets it.' That is a nod toward misogyny, which is a gaming topic for a whole other day, and likely a wholly different blog than this.
Like all quasi-controversial 80's pop-rockers, Billy Idol left us a code to impart important information. Billy's messages were about roleplaying, and instead of using back-masking, he left us a clearer trail in the song titles. Behold:
Blue Highway:
Billy knew that the surest way to know a character was to get them out on the road and into constant use as a character, not just let them stagnate as a killing machine with endless loot capacity. Interaction with the local denizens who are not trying to snuff out the blue flame of your life, and exploration of the setting outside of the impregnable office tower guarded by Black IC and homicidal riggers, or beyond the cool halls of the dungeon is one of the best ways to truly bring your character to life.
Eyes Without a Face:
The wisdom of Billy is endless. Do the rest of the members of the party know what your character looks like beyond the color or type of protection worn… or maybe that one cliché signature feature you mumbled about during character generation? (Lock of white hair, scar, mismatched eyes, etc). Take the time to go beyond the first impression a character makes, and really delve into how they look, where their scars are and how they got there, why they wear that dagger in that awkward place, and how their eyes look under the moonlight beside the crystal waters of Dead Man's Lake.
Flesh for Fantasy:
Killing, violence, danger from wild…things, and of course – the 80's action hero action item list of 'do it yourself and justify your actions later in the heady glow of saving the people' tend to overshadow most of what roleplaying is capable of being. How deeply have you looked into the motivations for the things your characters do? Why do they adventure in the first place? Why do they kill/not kill, use magic/not use magic, seek out eufibre and get on N!, join the ISRA, travel to a distant world, laboriously construct power armour in the university basement and fight crime between classes with a cool moniker and a fear of the dean's budget reviewer….? Why do they do these things? Who inspired them, and who held them back? Who encouraged them, and who caused them to doubt?
How do they feel when the adventure is over and they think about what they have done?
Billy Idol asks these questions and his characters rock. A character with no flesh on its paper and pencil bones, has no character.
Rebel Yell:
Like Mr. Idol's most successful PCs, our characters need to have something to believe in, and the means to go out and achieve it. More than just the motivation from the previous entry, this taps into the less rational side of the character's psyche, and the environment which produced it.
What makes the character angry? What makes their eyes well-up with unbidden tears? What kind of service do they deem to be unacceptable at a lunch counter while they are on a stake-out waiting patiently for insane cultists to finally creep out of the basement apartment they purchased four weeks ago and filled with grocery bags of chalk, salami, incense, and Egyptian cigarettes?
In the midnight hour, what do they want?
White Wedding:
Celebrations, anniversaries, and real progress through some kind of growth process are vital parts of truly playing a character. Age is more than a trait that determines when penalties and senility arrive…
What character arc is your Dwarf-in-plate-armour-with-atrocious-and-wholly-unnecessary-Scottish-accent on? What might cause him to backslide? What might cause him to truly learn a hard lesson?
What about kids, wives, husbands, building an elite fighting force one offspring at a time, or saving to buy a lovely cottage overlooking the picturesque promontory known as The Teeth of Peril?
Billy will be the first to tell you: Let your character truly live in the world the GM is creating around it. Adventures and incredibly satisfying game play will be the result.
Catch my Fall:
Without a group, Billy knew that the game was lost. Mr. Furious was just riffing on Billy when he botched stating that the Mystery Men were an elite cadre of something. Even if your group is not classically heroic, but is instead just the other guys, a character alone is very soon talking to himself and waiting for some broad to get out of prison to help him commiserate about the lack of gold in his morning helping of falcon. Who needs that?
Learning how to enhance the team, and make each member shine is one of Billy's most important RPG lessons.
Dancing with Myself:
Mr Idol is nothing if not a survivor though, so he advises all of those poor saps who cannot find a game group to keep your head up, even though you are an army-of-one. Billy has been there and survived, so so can you!
As long as you are not talking to yourself, or provided you are only talking to yourself while maintaining distinct characters for each voice (see my recent Palladium posts on troupe play), all is well, and Billy has got your back.
Don't Need a Gun:
Billy, like Dustin Hoffman and Timothy Dalton, knew well that even the best-dressed character needs a hook. What makes this paladin, or this half-elven assassin, or that blonde barbarian, or this ship-suited psychic with a minicomp and oh-so-perfected-sense of ennui different from the billions of them being imagined around tables in the myriad basements of suburbia?
Be distinct within the confines of genre and character. This is not as easy as it sounds, and that is reflected in the large number of people who have never heard this song.
Mony Mony:
Finally, good old Billy knew that shouting out random, vulgar lines repeatedly en masse over top of the actual dialogue while the game is going on, is one of the dearest treasures of a solid roleplaying group and that it never gets old – no matter how inane it becomes.

One Response to "Billy Idol's Guide to Gaming"
morrisonmp says:
This is great. I appreciate that you managed to whisk a little wisdom into the funny. I find it interesting though, that one of the things I see bemoaned the most on the blogs I read — is the lack of role-playing in our role-playing games.
I've been struggling with this too in recent gaming experiences. Even fairly coarse action movies attempt to build character, to make the audience connect and care a little about the lives of a character — why what they do matters (or matters to them).
Unfortunately, at too many tables, math seems to take over characterization.

DHAKA, BANGLADESH—Bangladesh police fired tear gas and swung batons as thousands of garment workers demonstrated for better wages for a fourth day Wednesday, shutting down factories on the outskirts of the capital.
Bangladesh's garment industry generates around $30 billion (U.S.) in exports a year, making it the second largest in the world after China. It makes products for big-name fashion retailers including Zara, H&M and Uniqlo.
Under Hasina, the level of extreme poverty — classified as under $1.25 per day — has dropped from 19 per cent of the population to less than 9 per cent in the last decade, according to the World Bank.

High Rise Gated Community II- Escape from Neo-New York starring Julie Strain
"Violence has taken the most severe and preemptive precedent and statute of import, over the most salient and savory in comparison concepts of moral imperative and desire for human companionship, as the entirety of humanity continues to dissect itself with haste, resulting in an even more stark and ravenous dissimulation and darkened line of contrast separating the most oppressively poverty stricken...and us.
"We, the conclave of the Continental Confederation of The Absolutist Monarchy of Neo-New York, believe it our sole right and sovereign goal as the chosen Men and Women of the ever triumphant Materialism-Minded Godhead, to separate from the common human degenerates and vermin who live outside of our gleaming metropolises forevermore, irrespective of whether they be our former brethren of America or our just as accursed enemies wearing an Islamic Crown. We render this decree on this, the Year of our Lord-Mother 2334 A.D., thus ensuring our right to continued existence, racial purity, and enshrined apathy toward those whose lineage is not at pure as our own..."
------with the preceding words, the present day Island of Manhattan will declare its independence from the Continental United States, thus severing its inclusion in the entirety of American Life Forever on August 13th, 2334, in the preamble of it's newly created Island-wide Mandate and Constitutional Charter.
The inhabitants of Manhattan, still reeling from the fallout of America's 3rd straight Century of involvement in The Right War of The Way (known presently in our own time as "The War on Terror"), will become fatigued with the constant barrage of suicide bombers, intercontinental terror regimes, Islamic Fascist demagoguery and countless numbers of lost citizens as it will continue to be shown to the world at large as The Ever Shimmering City of Progress, Innovation and (in the opinion of chagrined, distressed New Yorkers) symbol of American Might, ever resolute in the face of those whom The Western World deemed "The Scourge of Capitalistic Creationism": The ever vilified Muslim Cyber-States of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Meta-Mesopotamia.
As The Island of Manhattan will declare its sovereignty from the entirety of The Continental United States, it will also truncate all communication and further involvement with the other hallowed "satellite areas" comprising the other four boroughs of New York: Staten Island, The Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn.
In many cases, the Prime Judiciary and newly elected Governing Council of The Independent Cyber-State of Neo-New York will declare that any relatives of citizens of Neo-New York living in the other 4 boroughs would be henceforth rendered incapable of visiting the former Manhattan, thus curtailing any and all communication with denizens in regions as close as Long Island or Brooklyn.
In fact, The Neo-New York Governing Council will go so far as to demolish The Brooklyn and George Washington Bridges, the internal Subway Systems of the island, The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as well as all ability to connect to any realms beyond the island, ensuring that Neo-New York would be able to attempt to realize it's new vision of being what it's Governing Council will view as a "return to pure capital-minded Materialism and financial absolutism, as The one true God Mother, Father and Son intended."
After suffering through over 250 years of constant barrages of terror cells literally imploding in the most sensitive regions of Manhattan, the citizens of the newly christened Neo-New York will quite happily look forward to its new status of "honorable non-alignment" with The United States, which The Governing Council of Neo-New York will guarantee that it can enforce with its private stock of over 5000 Nuclear and bio-chemical long range missiles at the ready--all of which could be readily dispatched in a strike against Washington, in less than 3 minutes.
On February 14th, 2335, however, the United States Government will decide to enact a terrorist operation by Executive Order against the hierarchy of the Governing Council of Neo-New York, by sending a special forces lieutenant Colonel and particularly aggressive member of American/Christian Co-IntelPro named Abigail "Abilene Texas Tornado" Tommagrasin into the former Manhattan Island, in an effort to infiltrate one of the underground Nuclear Missile Silos hidden deep in the former subway stations and underground railway lines along the heart of the expansive, technologically impressive city.
Lieutenant Colonel Tommagrasin's mission will involve simply causing a cascade meltdown of the nuclear material processing and missile manufacturing facility, thus decimating the city and coating 35% percent of the American Eastern Seaboard with toxic, unimaginable levels of nuclear and biochemical radiation.
If successful, the President-Emperor in Washington along with his military advisers at The Octagon could be assured that Neo-New York would pay for it's treachery in daring to question the "spiritual or financial protocols" of The United States under their rule...while the ever vigilant and loyal Lieutenant Colonel Tommagrasin could look forward to entering into what her Marine Corp Military Clerics and Spiritual advisers at the Octagon will have assured her would be a beautiful and absolutely pressure free afterlife, wherein she was quite certain to be welcomed by a smiling phalanx of muscular, well-endowed, young and perfectly tanned men of exquisite beauty each capable of having sexual intercourse with her for 26-48 hours at a time without rest, coital re-enervation or any need for ceasing from the exertion.
