“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.”
- John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things: A Novel -
Charleston est. 1670, pop. 127,999 (2013) • French Quarter
• Edward McCrady, Jr. (1833-1903) graduated College of Charleston, 1853 • prominent lawyer, state representative, historian & prolific author • his father, Edward McCrady Sr. (1802-1892) was Yale alum, opposed States Rights in the Nullification Crisis of 1832 • by 1850, no longer a unionist, McCrady Sr. resigned his District Attorney post & signed the Ordinance of Secession, 1861
• McCrady Jr. entered Confederate service as captain of Irish Volunteers • rose to rank of lieutenant colonel • wounded at Second Manassas in VA & again at Fredericksburg
“It was the consummation of the grand debate between Massachusetts and South Carolina. Webster and Calhoun had exhausted the argument in the Senate chamber, and now the soldiers of the two states were fighting it out eye to eye, hand to hand, man to man. If the debates in the Senate chamber were able and eloquent, the struggle on that knoll at Manassas was brave and glorious.” – Major Edward McCrady, 1st South Carolina (CSA)
• reflecting on causes of the Civil War in a speech at 1882 reunion of his regiment, McCrady contended that "it was not for slavery for which we fought, but... for the sovereignty of our State and for the supremacy of our race."
• as a conservative member of SC General Assembly, McCrady proposed legislation to impose a poll tax & literacy test (to prove ability to read candidates' names) on both black & white citizens' right to vote • to opponents who argued that this would disenfranchise thousands of white voters, he replied, "We care not if it does... To them, too, we say the schools are open."

Finding Value in Children and Youth Who Feel They Have no Value
www.goodreads.com/review/show/1065218209
The aim is to build on children’s strengths; the fourth and final chapter discusses specific ways within the context of the Circle of Courage, introduced here and in an earlier work, Reclaiming Youth at Risk. With empathy, understanding, and a positive philosophy of dignity and respect, there will not be any allowance for “disposable” children.
Inspired by a famous statue of Janusz Korczak at the Children’s Memorial at Yad Vashem, the title “No Disposable Kids” came to the authors. Dr. Korczak founded an orphanage in Warsaw, Poland, for troubled Jewish street youth. Even in the Warsaw Ghetto, Janusz Korczak refused to abandoned “his” children, choosing to accompany them in the protest of quiet dignity to the gas chambers of Treblinka.
Day of the Dragon - (WarCraft #1)
by Richard A. Knaak (Goodreads Author)
In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind. Mysterious Elves and hardy Dwarves walked among tribes of man in relative peace and harmony -- until the arrival of the demonic army known as Burning Legion shattered the world's tranquility forever. Now Orcs, Dragons, Goblins, and Trolls all vie for supremacy over the scattered, warring kingdoms -- part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of WarCraft.
A terrifying upheaval among the highest ranks of the world's Wizards sends the maverick Mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the Orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan. What Rhonin uncovers is a vast, far-reaching conspiracy, darker than anything he ever imagined -- a threat that will force him into a dangerous alliance with ancient creatures of air and re if the world of Azeroth is to see another dawn.

Local : recipes and stories from Sydney's inner west - published by Stanmore Public School P&C 2014 - see my Goodreads review www.goodreads.com/book/show/30046747-local
The west front of the east wing, containing the chapel, erected in 1628-32 at the instigation of Matthew Wren, Master of Peterhouse from 1625-34. The architecture reflects the High Anglican ideals of Charles I - which is interesting, because it was during this time that the college accommodated and nurtured several scholars who would later become eminent Puritans, among them Colonel John Hutchinson, who became Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1658. He was also one of the 59 signatories of King Charles I's death warrant.
Hutchinson's wife and biographer, Lucy, tells us that he was admitted to the college at the age of twelve in 1627 "...under the tuition of one Mr Norwich, an admirable scholar who by his civil demeanour to him won so much upon his good nature, that he loved and reverenced him as a father, and betook himself with such delight to his studies that he attained to a great height of learning, and performed public exercises in the college with much applause, and upon their importunity took a degree in the university, whereof he was at that time the grace, there not being any gentleman in the town that lived with such regularity in himself, and such general love and good esteem of all persons as he did. He kept not company with any of the vain young persons, but with the graver men, and those by whose conversation he might gain improvement. He never missed the chapel, where he began to take notice of their stretching superstition to idolatry; and was courted much into a more solemn practice of it than he could admit, though yet he considered not the emptiness and carnality, to say no more, of that public service which was then in use. For his exercise he practised tennis, and played admirable well at it; for his diversion, he chose music, and got a very good hand, which afterwards he improved to a great mastery on the viol. There were masters that taught to dance and vault, whom he practised with, being very agile and apt for all such becoming exercises. His father stinted not his expense, which the bounty of his mind made pretty large, for he was very liberal to his tutors and servitors and to the meaner offices of the house. He was enticed to bow to their great idol, learning, and had a higher veneration for it a long time than can strictly be allowed; yet he then looked upon it as a handmaid to devotion, and as the great improver of natural reason. His tutor and the masters that governed the College while he was there, were of Arminian principles, and that College was noted above all the town for Popish superstitious practices; yet through the mercy of God, notwithstanding the mutual kindness the whole household had for him and he for them, he came away after five years' study there, untainted with those principles or practices, though not yet enlightened to discern the spring of them in the rites and usages of the English church."

Miranda wanted to dress as Ook from The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future for World Book Day, but her school didn't do World Book Day dressing up this year. For Red Nose Day they asked for "superheroes, or your mum/dad in the 70s/80s" so she figured it would fit. I'm not sure whether to hope they know she's a superhero or to hope they think I spent my childhood in fake leopard skin velour.
I was planning on safety-pinning this together in the 5 minutes before we left the house, then the safety-pin tin vanished and I had to do super fast sewing. A bit of a panic but it worked out!

Took me a bit to realize this was a book containing two stories. At first I thought someone had written a mashup of some sort.

other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,

A stunningly beautiful story I first read on its release day in September 2015. I thought so much of it I nominated it in the romance category of the Goodreads Choice Awards. The handsome man on the cover is model/photographer Franggy Yanez.

“It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that... I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.”
- Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever -
