A "blog" with one entry every two years, that is quite cool, is it not? It has been a couple of years since I added "blogs" to the different sections so I could share information other than reviews. Looking back, I am not entirely sure what kind of information I had in mind. I could tell you about the decline in film quality I have experienced for many years. There are hardly no new films that I really need to see. I look forward to the new Twin Peaks series which I hope will be better than the newest X-Files. I could tell you how old fashioned I am and that I have a subscription to a DVD-by-mail-order. This for the simple reason that no VoD (video on demand) provider offers much that I want to see and all the il-/half-/semi-legal ways bring too much fuss for me. Or tell you about the page in which I see series (two episodes per week max). How interesting is all that? Also, the nights on which I have the time to watch films seem to deminish as well. But when I do see a film that I had not reviewed yet, I will keep writing a little bit about that. Hopefully there are people that like these scribblings. | 2019-04-26T12:06:55Z | null | {

To simplify the treatment of tips in KitchenSync's payroll module, we scrapped the fields for 'Cash Tips' and 'Credit Card Tips' and replaced them with 'Payroll Tips' and 'Paid Out Tips'. Starting today, be sure to enter the total of all tips already paid out to employees in cash in the 'Paid Out Tips' field. These tips will NOT be added to the employees' paychecks, but will be considered for tax purposes. Enter all tips that SHOULD BE paid out on the payroll checks into the 'Payroll Tips' field. Note: Our account managers have already mapped your cash tips, credit card tips, and declared tips from your POS to the new KitchenSync payroll fields for automatic population. | 2019-04-25T00:26:38Z | null | {

I first "met" Simon over at Write 0 Sub 0 and then from there I began to follow his blog. He is stopping by today to talk about his newest release, a YA steampunk novel titled ENGN. I was lucky enough to win a copy of ENGN from a giveaway over at Librarything and though I'm only about 00% of the way through right now I'm really enjoying it. Because of that (and also because he's just a genuinely nice guy) I was more than happy to open up my blog for him today. The Masters of Engn first take Finn's sister, then his best friend, Connor. He thinks he, at least, is safe - until the day the ironclads come to haul him away. People, too, were sometimes born out of words. The obvious example is Mrs. Megrim, who started out as just that word, nothing more, but who became perhaps my favourite character in the book. A megrim is an old word for a migraine. I came across it somewhere and immediately imagined a scowling, black-clad woman who won't stand for any nonsense. But who - without giving anything of the story away - has a lot more going on beneath the surface. Perhaps the most significant word, of course, is the title itself. "Engn" is pronounced like "engine" (at least in my head), because it's the name of a vast machine. But it also has that strange abbreviation as if worn away by long use, or as if parts have been lost, so that it barely makes sense now. Because that's how it is with my machine: it's been working for a long time in one form or another, its original form and function altered or lost (or is it?) A simple, odd four-letter word that, once I'd thought of it, had to be used. Again it felt like an invocation. With the word Engn in my head I could suddenly see the great machine stretching across the horizon, pumping away, smoke rising over those towers and wheels, the people crawling in and around it like ants. He is currently learning to play the electric guitar. It's not going that well, frankly. -> We have a severe thunderstorm warning for tonight because they expect a violent reaction once the air begins to cool down. We don't have air conditioning. If you need me, I'll be sitting in the basement, in front of a fan, reading submissions for Metastasis. | 2019-04-22T02:40:01Z | null | {

The 00th Annual Redmond Salary Survey shows IT job and salary strength. A looming recession should affect salaries. So should reports of IT budgets being slashed for the rest of 0000. And so should global economies going crazy with every dollar fluctuation, mortgage crisis or the closing down of another subprime-laden bank or brokerage. But get this: Those events haven't made any such visible impact on IT compensation -- at least, so far -- as this year's joint Redmond/MCPmag.com 0000 Salary Survey indicates. For a fourth year in a row salaries have risen, as have raises, bonuses and job stability, sidestepping any rising recessionary tide. Robert Laposta, a systems admin for a government contractor based in Sierra Vista, Ariz., believes salaries have continued to go up because "demand for IT is not subsiding." He points to his own experiences facing a federal mandate to keep government workers on the cutting edge of technology: "Our programming staff will be increasing as the government looks for more programming support" to keep those applications humming, he says. Laposta's observations are validated by data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), whose Occupational Outlook Handbook 0000 states that companies across the United States will need to fill some 000,000 jobs between 0000 and 0000. The PDF format of this article boasts many more charts, including salaries for non-Microsoft certifications and a look back at 00 years of IT salaries. Free registration is required to get the PDF. Get it here. With the combination of additional bodies needed to occupy IT positions and a drop in enrollment in computer science courses -- a Computing Research Association study pegs the drop at 00 percent in 0000 -- the trick will be how to keep valuable and skilled employees. Thus, companies are providing incentives to employees by way of bumped-up compensation. In our survey, besides comparing our results against BLS data, we also look at year-over-year data based on other factors, such as technology expertise, education, years in IT and certification. Let's start from the top. Survey respondents this year report that their base salaries -- sans raises and bonuses, at $00,000 (see Chart 0) -- have risen a bit more than 0 percent from 0000. The rise beats last year's 0000-to-0000 increase of 0.0 percent, and keeps these wages ahead of inflation as indicated by the latest BLS numbers for the Consumer Price Index (at press time, that number stood at 0.0 percent). Whether the upward trend will continue is anyone's guess. For Kate Forster, an application developer, salary increases are on autopilot because she works for a local government in Joliet, Ill. "By contract [we're] guaranteed a 0 percent cost-of-living adjustment" at the beginning of 0000, she explains. There are those who aren't as lucky, like Baltimore-based IS manager Joe Grosskopf, who expects the recession to have some impact in the IT world. "The recession is preventing a lot of companies from increasing salaries," he says, adding that "with all the layoffs, many workers aren't complaining. If they have a job, they feel lucky." Chart 0 may explain why salaries jumped the way they did. More than 00 percent of respondents specify that their salary exceeded six figures, a six-point increase from last year's figure. Additionally, managers and those with project management expertise make up more than a quarter of respondents, a testament to the changing demographic of the Redmond reader; the majority readership used to be IT administrators. Looking again at Chart 0, there are a few more numbers worth highlighting. Age and years in IT have increased by more than a year each from last year's figures, indicating that the respondent list has changed very little, yet on the whole they've all fattened their salaries. At a mean of 00.0 years, respondents continue to age. That's disconcerting if it provides some evidence that, indeed, fewer college graduates will fill IT roles as older workers retire. Still, those older workers who continue to work also continue to see their salaries rise. And if they're the same respondents year over year, that four-year run upward bodes well for a rise next year with salaries. Interestingly enough, the number of years that respondents on average say they've toiled in IT is 00.0 years. That's a 00-month increase, matching respondent ages. Just like last year, the ratio of men to women in the IT industry hasn't changed much; it remains at 0-to-0 in the field. Bonuses last year made a surprising jump from 0000 to 0000 of nearly 00 percent. From 0000 to 0000, there was not so much of a jump. Overall, bonuses went up a mere $000, or 0.00 percent. But consider any bonus a plus. "Since I work for a nonprofit," says Mark Jones, an IT security and compliance officer in Bethel, Alaska, "I'd expect a raise only if our funding and revenue grow, which may be problematic in a slow economy." Almost 00 percent of respondents predict ominous news for next year's bonus season. But optimism remains among some readers, with nearly 00 percent expecting some compensation between $0,000 and up to $00,000. About 0.0 percent figure that their bonus compensation will top out at more than $00,000. As we've seen in past surveys, titles can impact salaries in big ways -- and the more responsibilities and years in the position, the higher the salary (see Chart 0 and Chart 0). Management continues to top the list at $00,000, which is about 0 percent higher than last year's $00,000. About 00 percent of respondents claim to be managers. Programming project leads make out even better, with about a 00 percent increase. Increases for other positions are slight, but all went up this year. Chart 0. Good news for those earning the "new generation" certifications, as the CITP: Consumer Support Technician beats out all titles. Differentiating one's skills from other IT experts can influence salary upward, as Chart 0 and Chart 0 show. Looking at Microsoft technology first, those with Project Server knowledge top this year's list at $00,000. Last year, Identity Integration Server experts were number one, with a whopping $000,000; this year, they come in at a more realistic $00,000. Noteworthy are those who claim to be BizTalk Server experts, who report a lower income this year at $00,000, but who still manage to remain third on the list this year, down from No. 0 in 0000. Windows Server 0000, introduced earlier this year, makes the list with 00 percent claiming expertise in the new server technology; they report making $00,000 on average. The percentage is expected to grow, as admins realize the positive effect Windows Server upgrades can actually have on cost savings. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics refines data in its Occupational Outlook Handbook, and one indicator of whether the data is on track is a monthly report, simply called "The Employment Situation." Indications from the July 0000 report, released on Aug. 0, are of a decline of 00,000 jobs in July and 00,000 jobs for the year in the information industry. Computer systems and design, meanwhile, added 0,000 jobs for the month. Across all segments, unemployment climbed to 0.0 percent; contrast that number with the low 0.0 percent unemployment back in March 0000. The report will be updated with August data on Sept. 0, 0000. Click here for more information. "We'll slowly migrate to Windows 0000 with new servers for sure," says Dan Yatzeck, a PC technician with a health-care company in Waukesha, Wis. "We'll probably upgrade from 0000 on the servers," continues Yatzeck, who will tap it so they can run Hyper-V and Exchange 0000. "It was a great feeling to run the P0V on our very old Web server and bring it up in the virtual environment." Mark Teslow, an IT manager for a church in Chanhassen, Minn., says he'll be testing the new server this fall, but is excited about another technology: "I'm a SharePoint convert, and the process taught me a great deal about this powerful tool and platform." The ranks of SharePoint experts have ticked upward, with 00.0 percent of respondents -- compared to 0000's 00 percent -- claiming expertise in it, with an average salary of $00,000. Never Giving Up: Margaret Thomas, South Bend, Ind. Not one piece of equipment is still under the original manufacturer's warranty. This includes every server, router, switch, PC, laptop and printer. Many support contracts were canceled in an effort to reduce costs. Oh, and, of course, there's no budget for anything new. So how do I keep enthusiasm up in this seemingly dire situation? "Never give up"-these three words keep me going, no matter how bad it seems for the business, as well as for the IT industry overall. Dot-com bust? Techies leaving the industry in droves? Fewer systems people who are female? Declining enrollment in computer science and engineering programs? Those trends give me all the more reason to stay put and enjoy what I do. Sure, it's a challenge to be in a thriving, fast-paced company-who wouldn't prefer that? But it's a bigger challenge to be where I am, in a company struggling to grow and thrive in a toxic economic climate. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. What about Windows Vista? Unlike many of the respondents we contacted via e-mail, Teslow has taken a fifth of his company to it, with the rest upgrading "through attrition under our replacement plan." More than 00 percent of respondents say they're working with the OS, up from 00 percent last year. Vista experts also make $00,000, up almost 0 percent from last year's figure. On a broader scale, experts who work for outsourcing firms filtered to the top of the list this year, averaging $00,000 -- last year, they made $00,000. Those developing for embedded devices and who work in research and development bring up the rear, inching closer to the $00,000 mark. We added a new tracking stat this year, virtualization, for which 00 percent of respondents, including Yatzeck, claim expertise. Those respondents also say that they're making $00,000. Certification hasn't had the cachet it used to have with readers in years past, but there are still some legitimate reasons to obtain a cert. For some, it can help to get a toehold in IT. "My certifications got me hired -- I think," says Paul MacDonald, an IS director in Newport News, Va. "Day to day, my job varies greatly and much of what I do doesn't require or goes beyond what I learned in getting my certifications." Mark Jones looks beyond salary and sees certifications as more useful to providing "some measure of ongoing learning -- if they're kept current and new certifications are added as technology and job requirements evolve." For Yatzeck, the payoff is also indirect: "In my position, professional certification is held in high regard, especially for a small business, and it does play a role, mostly reflected in yearly raises and annual reviews." A majority -- 00 percent -- of respondents agree with Yatzeck, while a negligible 0.0 percent believe a certification can have a negative effect. Certifications that seem to have more earning power this year include: MCITP: Consumer Support Technician ($00,000), MCSD: VS.NET ($00,000) and MCITP: Database Administrator ($00,000). The Redmond Media Group compiled the results of the survey internally using specialized survey software; thanks goes to Rita Zurcher for compiling the results into something meaningful and useful. As we've done the last three years, we sent out a survey with approximately 000 questions encompassing salary, bonus and raise expectations, as well as respondents' outlooks on topics as varied as outsourcing, training methods and job satisfaction. In addition to hitting the names on Redmond and MCPmag.com newsletter subscription lists, we sent the survey to Redmond Channel Partner and Redmond Developer News newsletter and print subscribers for whom we have valid e-mail addresses. We also linked to the survey through several editions of the MCPmag.com newsletter during the weeks the survey was conducted, from June 00 to July 0. Once we removed duplicates and respondents from outside the United States, we ended up with about 0,000 valid responses -- once again, a higher number of respondents than in 0000 -- with a margin of error +/-0 percent. We keep hearing about the volatility of the economy, IT spending and the toll that the mortgage crisis and fuel prices are taking on general spending. We do expect to see some impact of all of this next year. How much is anyone's guess at this point, and the four-year upward trend in salaries can't last much longer -- or will it? We'll let you know how it shakes out in 00 months. Click here to read "Getting a Raise: Secrets from a Manager." | 2019-04-25T00:20:10Z | null | {

Who Is God the Dad? God the Dad is the preeminent being, the Alpha and Omega of creation. Portrayed in the Old Confirmation as acting "with loyal love towards a large number of the individuals who adore Me and keep My rules" (Ex 00:0-0) and in the New Confirmation as "our Dad in paradise" (Mt 0:0), a significant number of us recognize that God exists, with numerous if not the majority of the individuals who think saying that, "We have confidence in one God, the Dad Omnipotent, Producer of paradise and earth, and of everything unmistakable and undetectable" as declared in the Ideology. Yet, to what degree do we truly know our magnificent Dad particularly in this post-Christian day and age? That is, to what degree do we know our Dad on an individual premise, regardless of all our standard or not really normal callings of confidence? God the Dad is the maker of the universe, the Producer of all humanity (Gn 0:0-00, 0:0-00). He is our Dad in each feeling of the word. As youngsters who are actually the result of His handicraft, our Dad adores us with boundless love and significantly wants to be the focal piece of our lives. Truth be told, our Interminable Dad seriously aches for us to build up a cozy association with Him: a relationship described by genuine and continuous discussions of private sharing, similarly to the type of relationship that we would ordinarily have with our natural dads. Normally, such discussions with our celestial Dad would happen inside the setting of the exemplification of practical youngster father connections. However, for what reason would our Dad want us to grow such closeness with Him, given that He is the God-like and transcendent God - He absolutely does not require us? God the Dad significantly wants to be available tous, inus, with us and for us as Dad, over the span of our every day lives - as He needs us to live equally in Him, with Him, for Him and through Him - in light of the fact that that is His essential capacity as first Individual of the Sacred Trinity. He is the Dad of everybody and everything that has ever existed, exists and is yet to exist, in spite of the continuous and unyielding disavowal of many with respect to such a fundamental changeless reality. Our perfect Dad made us with an affection that we can't start to understand; love that must be knowledgeable about request to begin being accepted. He made us so He could savor the experience of us as His youngsters thus that we also could take full joy and have a great time Him as our Dad. The majority of this in light of the fact that, in both quintessence and actuality, we are the human result of His workmanship: we are the main creatures on earth with godlike spirits and whom our Dad chose to make in His very own picture and similarity (Gn 0:00). The enjoyment of God the Dad in making people as His kids quickly moved toward becoming obfuscated over, soon after the beginning, by and through the first sin submitted by our first guardians (Gn 0:0-00). In any case, our Dad's serious and deep yearning to be both with us and in us, appreciating us as His youngsters, never lessened. Without a doubt, it developed exponentially to the degree that He sent us His just sired Child, Jesus Christ, to recover us in His sight, in light of the fact that our Dad did not need us to experience the torments that we would some way or another have needed to experience, all together for the entryway restoring access to our Dad to be re-opened (Mk 00:00-00, 00:0-00, 00:0-00). Then in our present time, our Dad has been and is ending up progressively open to every single one of us in a way exceptionally reminiscent of the Old Confirmation time. The Interminable Dad is continuing to expand His quality on earth as such for two primary reasons: first, He can't stand to be isolated from His kids any more, through the separation by and by existing between us. Second, now is the ideal time ready for His rule to build up itself completely on earth, as we have been requesting that he do through the Master's Supplication (Mt 0:00) for more than two thousand years. Subsequently God the Dad has a significant, consuming and, to date, un-satisfied want to legitimately and personally share with us everything that jumps out at us over the span of our natural lives. He longs to be both with us and in us wherever we are, with a pining and throbbing Heavenly Heart, wanting significantly and with dismal aching to be a crucial piece of all that we do. Our Dad profoundly wishes to be the focal piece of our homes, families, networks, social orders and our worldwide world by being cherished, loved, applauded, adored and loved as our one, genuine and just Dad. God the Dad is decidedly craving for us to approach and talk with Him consistently as meager kids, trustingly and affectionately imparting to Him each part of our day by day lives: our tensions, goals, wants, fears, works, delights and distresses; with us completing such offering to Him with dutiful deserting and trust, from the deepest openings of our souls. Our Dad additionally wants us to chat with Him not through the mentally rich but rather affectively desolate - separating and guarded - language of researchers or monsters of precept, yet through the straightforward and everyday language of little kids: the unvarnished language of clean or recaptured honesty; with real expectation, straightforwardness of psyche, ardent regard, dutiful love and complete trust from the center of our creatures. In entirety, along these lines, God the Dad adores us with unending and extreme love. He significantly wants that, as His assenting youngsters, we don't waver to invite Him into our souls and lives as our one, genuine Dad, building up a close relationship and bantering with Him in a characteristic way, so He can savor the experience of us and we can have a great time Him, in an equal yet endless hover of celestial closeness and love. We will find that when we continue to build up this sort of association with God the Dad, He never neglects to react to us with significant anxiety, both interiorly - in and through the core of our spirits (His particular habitation in us as His living sanctuaries; 0 Co 0:00; St Andrews Creations, 0000) - and exteriorly through different methods. Moreover, when we welcome Him as Dad with validity and truthfulness in our souls, God the Dad both tunes in and takes care of our needs with a delicacy, cherishing non-abrasiveness, paternal delicacy and satisfaction that are exceptional, unlimited and indescribable on a human dimension - a totally adjusted mindfulness that is, fundamentally, a hinting knowledge of the completion of our legacy (Paul VI, 0000). Such an encounter, truth be told, happens through the giving of our choice agree to the Dad, to come and be the focal piece of our lives; in light of the fact that through this procedure we open up space for Him to satisfy His paternal capacity to the most extreme in our lives, enabling Him to truly immerse us with the significant, felt vastness of His extraordinary love, by getting to acknowledge it. The previously mentioned procedure of cozy relationship and discourse with our Dad, that He so profoundly longs to have with every last one of us, legitimately contacts His Celestial Heart in its significance, making God the Dad wantto give us all that we need and want - to say the very least - all through our day by day lives, as opposed to just be induced to allow them to us out of kindness. Consequently when we choose to feel free to respect our Dad into our souls with ardent validity, straightforwardness and the trust of genuine obedient love, we give both our Dad and ourselves incomprehensible and unspeakable euphoria and bliss, since they result in the kid Father relationship of unbounded love. As a byproduct of moving toward Him as such, God the Dad liberally and kindheartedly reimburses our trust in Him and love for Him as Dad, by effectively showering downward on us a wealth of provision and love a long ways past the compass of our most extravagant fantasies, expectations and creative ability. This happens not on the grounds that we merit any of it since we don't; but since our Dad has been, is and will remain everlastingly the Unceasing Dad of life, light and love. | 2019-04-26T13:51:17Z | null | {

Before Franktuary opened, I was a lad with a lot of time on his hands. Now that I'm 00 I've been looking back on those days a little more fondly. One of the things I did with my time was to write goofy letters, which I never sent to their proposed recipients. Recently I rediscovered these letters. For some summer Franktuary "fun" I've decide to release a few of these letters to the general public in this right here space. The first of these letters documents a pitch I developed for merging the cities of New York and Chicago -arguably the two most influential cities in the world when it comes to frankfurter history. More than likely, I'll release an additional letter sometime in July, another one in August, and a final one in September. Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to visit the store and our truck early and often during the warmest months of the year. July IS National Hot Dog Month, you know. And, if I may be so bold, every month should be National Grass-Fed Beef Month. People ALWAYS argue about your cities! Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium? Vienna Beef or Nathan's Famous? The Great Lawn in Central Park or the Great Lake Michigan? The Wyndham or the Plaza? The Sears Tower or the Empire State Building? Buckingham Memorial Fountain or Rockefeller Center? The El Train or the Subway? Al Capone or Donald Trump? South Street Seaport or Navy Pier? The Times or The Tribune? Deep dish or thin crust? Grant Park or Grant's Tomb? Wacker Drive or Wooster Street? The Windy City or the BIG APPLE? If trends continue, things WILL get UGLY! To ensure the future peace of our nation, there is only one solution. A merger of Gotham City and the Second City is essential. Do not take this concept lightly, Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Daley. You have a RESPONSIBILITY to act in the best interest of your respective cities and how you HANDLE this CRUCIAL matter may very well Determine YOUR "Political Legacy." Fortunately, as a CONSCIENTOUS citizen, I've developed a plan for you to implement. We will call OUR new city Chewy Gork (the candy bar (CHICA-CHICA new Chewy Gork!) will be a "big seller"), and rest assured Mr. Mayors, each of you will remain in POWER. There will be identical 0.0 mile-high skyscrapers built in the respective China Town of each current city. A road ramp will spiral around each building, the top seventy stories of each edifice will be used for parking, and a bridge will connect the two structures. A "shinkasen," or high-speed bullet train, will transport people across town via the bridge. We will use the entire state of Ohio as a space to erect a support structure that will make this plan architecturally feasible. Because it is Ohio, NO ONE will mind. Time is of the essence, sirs; DO NOT underestimate the urgency of this situation. It is easy to miss the mood of a city while working in an office all day. I KNOW the climate on the street. Trust me, my plan NEEDS to happen. The very fate of our nation hangs tenuously in the balance. | 2019-04-21T02:23:10Z | null | {

A Brackaville woman will be jumping out of her comfort zone, quite literally, when she undertakes a daredevil skydive in aid of the charity, Mencap. Una Brown (nee McAliskey) is Project Manager for the charity's new family centre, which is due to open early next year. She admits the hair-raising fundraiser fills her with more than a few nerves, but insists it will all be worth it if she can do her bit for Mencap's Big Step Forward Appeal. "What better way to help with the building the new child and family centre than to jump out of a plane!", quips Una. Una is no stranger to challenging herself, having previously undertaken a trek through New Zealand in 0000, and says the people of Coalisland were very generous and supportive of her at that time. | 2019-04-19T16:39:30Z | null | {

So I found my Fair Warning disc today and decided to do a proper Sinner's Swing!! cover. I think my guitar was tuned a little flat - like Ed I just tune it to itself and go from there. And I ad-libbed the solo as I haven't played it in years. Anyway, it's only rock and roll! Nice to see an American male in the 00st century with enough testosterone to grow a beard. Nice job. It's a neat song and fun to jam around on. Atomic Punk vs. Sinner's Swing! | 2019-04-22T10:03:23Z | null | {

Venugopal, S and Vasudevan, M and Venugopal, Sridhar and Sivaprasad, PV and Jha, SK and Pandey, P and Mannan, SL and Prasad, YVRK (0000) Industrial validation of processing maps of 000L stainless steel using hot forging, rolling, and extrusion. In: Materials Science and Technology, 00 (00). pp. 000-000. The development of microstructure in 000L stainless steel during industrial hot forming operations including press forging (strain rate of 0 . 00 s(-0)), rolling/extrusion (strain rate of 0-0 . 0 s(-0)), and hammer forging (strain rate of 000 s(-0)) at different temperatures in the range 000-0000 degrees C was studied with a view to validating the predictions of the processing map. The results showed that good col relation existed between the regimes indicated in the map and the product microstructures. The 000L stainless steel exhibited unstable flow in the form of flow localisation when hammer forged at temperatures above 000 degrees C, rolled below 0000 degrees C, or press forged below 000 degrees C. All these conditions must therefore be avoided in mechanical processing of the material. Conversely, in order to obtain defect free microstructures, ideally the material should be rolled at temperatures above 0000 degrees C, press forged at temperatures above 0000 degrees C, or hammer forged in the temperature range 000-000 degrees C.

Driving a drove of Andalusian donkeys fully-laden with some of Melbourne's best tapas into the heart of the unforgiving Williamstown restaurant landscape, El Burro is a tapas bar worth whinnying about. A cosy restaurant and bar with unadorned wooden tables and chairs arrayed around a warm and inviting interior that opens out into an alfresco dining area and beer garden, El Burro is a very hot ticket along the cafe-packed length of Nelson Place. On Mondays El Burro offers every plate of tapas for just a tenner, making it an ideal off-peak time to take in traditional vieras - scallops and chorizo with caramelised apple and lemon - or the very popular cerdo - confit pork belly and crackling with pear chutney. But there's far more on offer besides, with appetizers and sides, larger share plates, pizza-like topped Spanish flatbreads, big paella ($00 on Wednesdays) and desserts (churros!) jostling for your attention. This is the 0th or 0th time I have been there and wont be the last - the food never disappoints and the services is fantastic! We had the tapas for 0, it was absolutely delicious! My only complaint was that the food came out too fast. 0-0 dishes at a time would be better. | 2019-04-21T04:48:59Z | null | {

Todo Takatora was known as the premier castle architect of Japan. He built over 00 castles across Japan, including castles such as Imabari, Tsu, Iga Ueno, Ozu, Edo, Akagi and many others. Castle in Japanese is "shiro" (城) Because he was known to have built and owned a number of castles, he was known as a Shiro Mochi. (castle owner城持). Mochi also means pounded rice cake. In Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, there was a small store known as Kiyosuya serving pounded sticky rice cakes known as Mochi. The first owner of the shop was a man named Nakanishi Yoemon who was originally a samurai from Kiyosu in the service of Oda Nobunaga. After the Honno-ji Incident, when Nobunaga was killed, the samurai Nakanishi became a ronin, selling sake, and later, mochi rice cakes. The story recorded in a diary written by Todo Takatora's vassal, Nakagawa Kurodo tells that a young Todo Takatora was once traveling through Toyohashi when he came across Nakanishi's stall selling mochi. Todo Takatora was a big, strong man, he stood about 000cm tall...very big for that time. Being hungry, he ate all the mochi on display, but he had no money. He apologised to the stall owner, Nakanishi, who only seemed glad the strong, young samurai enjoyed his mochi, and even gave him money for his travels. The kindness of the man touched Takatora greatly, and he never forgot his debt to him. To remind himself, Takatora's battle flags carried the story. In fact, his Hata, Sashimono and Nobori banners were a dark blue base with white dots, symbolizing 0 large white mochi, and was known as the Shiro Mochi Nobori. Another flag he flew, the one he used at Sekigahara so as not to be mistaken for the Ukita clan who used a similar motif, was a black based flag with three white dots, known as the Ishi Mochi. Some years later, when Todo Takatora had become a daimyo, he traveled to Edo on Sankin Kotai duty, the alternate service system, and taking the Tokaido, stopped at Toyohashi. While he was there, he sought out the mochi maker who had treated him so well. Naturally, having brought a huge entourage, there were many mochi sold that day, and every time Todo Takatora passed through the post town. That shop, Kiyosuya, in Toyohashi continued until the 0000's when it is believed to have closed down. | 2019-04-20T22:12:58Z | null | {

Note: the following study presents exciting new research identifying the descendants of the ancient lost house of Israel. It has tremendous bearing on Bible prophecy, the fulfillment of the covenants, and the duties and obligations of God's chosen people in the world today. Ashe states that Anglo-Israel (sometimes called British-Israel) believers "do not claim that the British people are the lost tribes because of the legends and alleged linguistic coincidences which are cited in support of that view. Their starting-point is the Bible, read in a fundamentalist spirit." Mr. Ashe is correct in that observation; Christians who uphold the Bible as the Word of God base their belief upon it. Their starting-point is the Bible! But we are confident that historical proofs such as archaeology and linguistics will also verify the Scriptural record. For those who do not find Bible prophecies alone convincing, we present proof of language links in this study. The author continues, "The prophets foretell various things about Israel which have not been fulfilled in the Jews: that God's people will be powerful, that they will be ‘a nation and a company of nations,' and so forth. Also, a few passages (notably Ezekiel 00:00-00) certainly seem to keep up the distinction between Israel and Judah after the exile of both, and to foreshadow a final return and reunion... The British-Israelite, or any other theorist who thinks on these lines, feels no obligation to produce scholarly proofs that the lost tribes exist. He already knows that they do because, on biblical grounds, they must. Their reality is an axiom, not a conclusion. His non-Biblical arguments are offered mainly as indications confirming the belief he already holds." These are key points: The lost tribes of Israel must continue to be in existence as a separate people somewhere, even though they have not yet been identified; there will be a final reunion with Judah at the end of the age. Further, the Jewish people have not fulfilled all of the prophecies given to Israel, so we must look elsewhere to find these prophecies fulfilled. But in which people? Having answered this from Bible prophecy in a separate tract, we are now addressing it through linguistics, the study of languages. Having said this, however, Mr. Ashe closes with a caveat: "But while a case could be made out for the Empire being Israel in some symbolic sense, the case for literal ethnic links with the lost tribes could not be sustained. It was altogether too complicated... [it] reduces the lost tribes to a theme of speculation only." This statement is best answered by analogy. If a robbery or murder occurred, would we accept a police explanation that, ‘there is a solution here, but we won't try to solve it because it is altogether too complicated'? Of course not! Where lives are at stake, a solution is necessary. In a Spiritual sense, lives are indeed at stake, who can be transformed by a knowledge that the Bible is true and the prophecies fulfilled. A mystery is a subject for "speculation" only until the solution is found, and we believe that the identity of the lost tribes of Israel is now proven, as we shall show. Since Mr. Ashe believes that a solution is "altogether too complicated," we will simplify our answer to two basic principles of linguistics, the science of languages. "Guttural" consonants "Kh", hard "G", and hard "C" are interchangeable. Vowels are very frequently interchanged, added, or substituted. This interchangeability of hard consonants was also true in ancient Mesopotamia. In the Assyrian Cuneiform Alphabet, the same character stands for both the hard "G" and "Kh," as can be seen in the box at left.0 A moments' reflection will indicate to you that the same part of the mouth and throat is used to sound out all three hard consonants: Kh, hard G, and hard C, and that a change of spelling is easily and logically made from one to another, because virtually no change in pronunciation is involved. This is verified by modern Hebrew language and literature scholar, Dr. Isaac Elchanan Mozeson, who teaches language studies at Yeshiva University in Jerusalem. He states, "The Hebrew G, the Gimel, is often a K in Greek and other Western tongues. [The Hebrew letter G] resembles a backwards K."0 As an example, Mozeson gives the word, "colossus," which originated as "Golios," the Hebrew word for the Biblical giant, Goliath. He states, "The Greek pronunciation would sound like "kol-ios" - just as the [Hebrew word for camel], Gamal, was rendered "kamelos."0 Note again the interchanges between the K, G, and C. We will be applying this interesting principle shortly in connecting several seemingly unrelated ancient tribes. Nineteenth-century scholar, Sir William Betham (0000-0000), was knighted by the King of England for his research into ancient history, language, and archaeology. He had this to say concerning vowels in ancient languages: "Vowels are often substituted for each other: the same words are written promiscuously with an a, o, and u, an e or an i."0 As an example, he discussed the ancient inhabitants of western Britain, "the Welsh, who have ever called themselves by the name of Cymri, Cimbri, or Cumbri."0 As can be easily seen, the name of this ancient tribe has been variously spelled with differing vowels: Y (often called a "pseudo-vowel"), I, and U. Such variations are a good example of the common vowel shifts which are found in the name of this historic people, who we will learn more of shortly. Another scholar of renown was Dr. Richard Cumberland (0000-0000), Anglican Bishop of England in the early 00th century. He authored several celebrated books, and was well regarded in his day for his expertise in ancient history and languages. He wrote, "The learned will not wonder at change of vowels in a name, especially when its made by authors of different countries and times, because they know this is a thing very usual; yet for the service of readers that are not much used to such changes, I will give proof thereof. "Wherefore, I have observed, that in Jeremiah 00:00, our translation calls a place in Moab, Beth Meon, which signifies the house or temple of Meon, agreeably to the Hebrew text and to the Chaldee paraphrase. But the Septuagint calls it the house of Maon; and so doth the vulgar Latin. The Moabites agreed with the Egyptians in their idolatry, who worshipped their first king and planter as a god, under the name of Osiris. But when they speak of him as a man who first reigned among them, they call him Meon or Menes, with a Greek termination: Which word, Bochart well observes, signifies habitations or places to dwell in, which he brought them to and settled them in." Samuel Bochart (0000-0000) was a well-known Huguenot scholar. On the subject of vowels, Dr. Isaac Mozeson states, "The Bible has no vowel marks in the original, handwritten parchment form."0 Similarly, Professor Cyrus H. Gordon, who is perhaps the leading American archaeologist of the twentieth century, stated concerning a Hebrew Old Testament name, "The ancient Hebrew text... has only the consonants...which were later supplied with vowels to make a verbal noun of it."00 It is true that some Semitic languages, such as Hebrew, originally contained no written vowels at all, but only consonants, with the vowels supplied by the reader. The drawback to this is obvious: Different speakers might use different vowels, creating a slightly different pronunciation of the same words. As an example, the name of God in Hebrew consisted of the four consonantal characters, YHVH, and is therefore called the tetragramation, meaning "four letters." Centuries later, a scholarly argument is raging concerning whether the name of God was originally pronounced Yahweh, Yahvee, Yahvah, or something similar. The solution may perhaps never be known, because of the absence of vowels in ancient written Hebrew. Indeed, it is possible that more than one pronunciation was in use in ancient times, due to the absence of stated vowels to guide the speaker. Repetition of consonants, as seen in the second and third names above, was also a common occurrence. Therefore, by the grammatical rules governing language, all four tribes must be one and the same people. Who were they? Let's examine them one at a time. When the conquering armies of the nation of Assyria came against the ten-tribe kingdom of the house of Israel late in the eighth century, B.C., they did not refer to God's People as "Israel" or "Jews." Instead, the Assyrian word for them was, "Khumri." This has been established through the deciphering of Assyrian "cuneiform" clay tablets. Ancient historian, Alan Ralph Millard, in his recent book, "Treasures from Bible Times," says, "In 0000 men working for Henry Layard on the site of the ancient Assyrian city of Calah (Nimrud) uncovered a block of polished black stone, carved and inscribed. The ‘Black Obelisk' records the triumphs of the Assyrian king, Shalmaneser... The first panel in the second line of pictures proved exciting. The text above the kneeling figure lists tribute brought to the king from ‘Yaua son of [Khumri]' that is, Jehu, who took the throne from a descendant of Omri, king of Israel."00 Millard reproduces the Assyrian words mentioning Israel, along with a literal translation. So the first mysterious tribe of our ancient list, the Khumri or Gomri, are definitely identified by ancient inscriptions as Israelites of the so-called, "lost ten tribes," who disappeared from history in the Caspian Sea region of Medo-Persia during the late 0th century and early 0th century, B.C. It is fascinating that the Gimirrai suddenly appeared out of seeming nowhere in the same century as the lost tribes of Israel disappeared, yet no scholar ventures to investigate a link between them. The additional mention of "Iranian" (i.e., Medo-Persian) words in the Gimirrai vocabulary indicates some physical contact between the Gimirrai and Medo-Persians, such as the captive Israelites might have been expected to have had. Historian Sharon Turner, in fact, stated that he identified 000 Medo-Persian loan-words in the Anglo-Saxon-Cimmerian vocabulary.00 Who were these mysterious people? According to scholars, the Gimirrai, Gomer, Cimbri, Teutons, and Celts are all linked together as the same people. By applying the rules of language, we realize that the "Gimirrai" were also the same people as the "Khumri," who have been positively identified as Israelites of the lost ten tribes. It is therefore no coincidence that the lost tribes of Israel disappeared in Medo-Persia-Iran (II Kings 00:0), the birthplace of the Gimirrai. The same Encyclopedia Britannica article has this to say about the people known today as Cimmerians: "An ancient people of the far north or west of Europe, first spoken of by Homer (Odyssey, xi. 00-00), who describes them as living in perpetual darkness. Herodotus (iv. 00-00), in his account of Scythia, regards them as the early inhabitants of South Russia (after whom the Bosporus Cimmerius and other places were named.)"00 The same encyclopedia reference also traces the European "Cymry" and "Celts" to this same people. There seems to be no question in historian's minds, that whoever these Cimmerians were, they were the ancestors of a significant branch of the modern people of Europe. (See box below) Again, by applying the two basic linguistic rules mentioned previously, it may be seen that the Cimmerians were none other than the Khumri or Gomri, the lost ten tribes. The eminent Christian historian and archaeologist, Dr. Henry Sayce, stated, "Gomer is the Gimirra of the Assyrian inscriptions, the Kimmerians of the Greek writers."00 Many reference works associate the names Gimirrai and Cimmerians with Gomer, connecting all three together (see box at right) using the very same established linguistic rules we have presented. In fact, because the ancient Hebrew language did not contain vowels, the present rendering of "Gomer" is a later construction. Since it is now known that the original Assyrian word for Israel was pronounced "Khumri," and the Babylonian was "Gamir" or "Gimirrai," it is probable that the original vowel-less Hebrew word was pronounced similar to these actual forms, as well. This information is known through the reading of ancient source documents which give us an accurate view of the 0th century, B.C. world that was not possible until recent years. The first reference (at right) tells us that the Gimirrai suddenly appeared in history during the reign of Sargon II, 000-000 B.C. He was the Assyrian king who conquered Samaria and deported the Israelites to the Assyrian-controlled province of Medo-Persia. It is amazing that historians never notice the tremendous "coincidence" of this: The first historical notice of the existence of the Gimirrai was during the same 00 years that the Israelite-Gomri-Khumri were deported and lost to history in that same province! But the connection of "Gomer" or "Gimirrai" with ancient Israel has been clouded by confusion over reference to them in the tenth chapter of Genesis, the so-called "register of nations." In Genesis 00:0-0, we read, "The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah." A literal, racial interpretation of these verses would make Gomer (or Gimir) a son of Japheth, and not of Shem as the Israelites were. But there are at least two important reasons why this is not so. First, Japheth lived at the time of the Noahic flood, which has been dated by Christian scholars to about 0000 B.C., more than 0,000 years before King Omri, who reigned about 000 to 000 B.C. As shown previously, the Israelites were called "Khumri" or "Gimirri" after King Omri; clearly, the "Gomer" in Genesis chapter ten is ages before his time! JEZREEL: "Scattered" into Assyrian dispersion 000-000 B.C. LO-RUHAMAH: "Not pitied" by God because their sins received a just recompense. LO-AMMI: "Not God's People," because they were divorced by Him and sent away to a far land. Scholars have traced their migration through the Caucasus Mountain region and into Europe in the early pre-Christian centuries. SONS OF THE LIVING GOD: "Christians" -Israel's ultimate restoration would later come when they accepted Christ as Savior, becoming His Bride at the marriage supper of the lamb. One last important reference to Gomer needs to be mentioned, which appears in Ezekiel chapter 00. Gomer is listed as joining a confederacy led by "Gog, chief prince of Meschech and Tubal." Gomer apparently does not lead this confederacy, nor are the other listed confederate nations Israelites. In addition, one should not assume that all of the lost tribes, Gomer/Gamir, are allied with Gog, but only one portion. So it is primarily a non-Israel invading force, which also includes some number of Israelites. Therefore, dispensationalists who identify Gomer as Europe may be at least partially right in that identification, because the Celtic-Cymry race did spread throughout Europe, before colonizing North America, Australia, South Africa, and other lands. But because Gog's army invades the "mountains of Israel," they assume that Gomer itself must not be Israelite. That assumption has little basis. Israelites have warred among themselves since the kingdom was divided into Israel and Judah after the time of Solomon, about 000 B.C. Whether the battle typified in Ezekiel is literal or allegory is impossible to predict beforehand, but that it represents to some degree yet another fratricidal war between Israelites seems obvious. One possible fulfillment was addressed in the old nineteenth-century prophecy, "George Washington's Vision," a prophetic vision received by America's first President during the Revolutionary War. It speaks of a confederacy comprised of "Europe, Asia, and Africa" coming in battle against America: "Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one." The late Professor C.A.L. Totten of Yale University wrote in the year 0000: "The third and last peril clearly indicates a future invasion of our country by the Old World. The drift of events and Bible prophecy indicate that a great combination of powers will be the actor."00 In the prophecy, help against this peril comes in the form of divine assistance, apparently the Second Advent. The Encyclopedia Britannica article we quoted states that it is "certain" that the tribe of Gomer is identified with the Celts, Teutons, and related peoples of Europe. We have found through linguistics (the study of languages), as well as through Bible prophecy in Hoseh, that the people called Gomer or Gimir are in fact Israelites. Linguistically, Israel's name, Khumri, is the phonetic equivalent of the European, Cymri; and Gomri/Khumri is also the consonantal equivalent to Gomer, Gimir, and Cimmiri. Therefore, if it is indeed a certainty that Gomer is found in the Europeans of today, then it is an equal certainty that those same Europeans are Israelites. It is odd that scholars so easily admit to certainty concerning the relationship between the names Gomer, Gimirrai, and Cimmeri, yet are silent concerning the name Khumri. It is never mentioned or investigated. Author and historian Geoffrey Ashe, mentioned earlier, states that it is "altogether too complicated" and "a theme for speculation only." That argument is rather specious, since it never appears "too complicated" for them to positively link the other three names Gomer, Gimirrai, and Cimmeri, using the same rules! Mr. Ashe also speaks of "alleged linguistic coincidences" which support the Anglo-Israel view. But there is nothing either alleged or coincidental about it. The information we have presented is based upon standard, accepted grammatical rules, and the known fact that Israel was the Khumri of the ancient inscriptions. Since the name Gomri/Khumri is the consonantal equivalent of Gomer, Gimir, and Cymri, it would indeed be a strange "coincidence" if they were not identical peoples! Scholars don't consider the identity of the latter three as coincidence, but as fact!

During the noon lunch hour, the children were delighted to find out that Mrs. Cooper liked to play ball. When it was her turn at bat, Jacob stood at the pitchers "mound" with disbelief written all over his face. "Well, are you going to pitch the ball to me or what?" asked Emma. "Mrs. Stevens never wanted to play with us!" came Billy's voice from first base. "Well, this is Mrs. Cooper and she said that she would play with us when I first met her." Sarah cried from the outfield. With that, Jacob pitched the ball right over home plate. The resounding "Crack" from ball hitting stick stunned all around, even Emma. It took only a second before she realized what she had done. She hiked her skirts up to her knees, and in very unlady-like fashion, sprinted around the bases. All 00 children were waiting for her as she reached home base, arms in the air, cheering her on. "You hit a homer Mrs. Cooper!!" "I have never seen a lady hit the ball so far!" "Can you be on my team next time?" Laughing and very much out of breath, Emma proudly accepted their praise. When she was able to breathe normally again, Emma declared it was time to head back inside for their afternoon lessons. Not a groan or moan rose from the boys and girls as they walked into the school. Here was a teacher they could like. Emma Cooper smiled, looking out the back door at her husband's laboring. They'd been harvesting from their big garden, earlier, and Emma, on a girlish whim, picked up a head of cabbage and heaved it at Jackson. It missed his head, but not by much. Emma pulled back behind the maple tree with a shriek and a laugh and the chase was on! Jackson scooped up his own head of cabbage, and thus armed, charged around the maple as Emma scampered around the corner of the house, laughing. Jackson's heels dug into the dirt as he reversed, hard, and charged the other way around the house. Emma, divining his strategy, sprinted for the garden, stifling her giggles, and pulled back hard against the maple, using it for cover, while Jackson's heavy footfalls told of his circumnavigation of their farmhouse. Emma put the back of her hand against her mouth, scarcely able to contain herself. "I know where you aa-rre," Jackson Cooper singsonged like a mischevious schoolboy. Emma swept a stray wisp of hair from her face and realized the breeze had probably blown her skirt out, betraying her position. Jackson Cooper spun the ax in a tight arc, cleaving the sawn elm; he'd been splitting firewood most of the evening, good clean swings, and had turned out an impressive pile of split-up deadwood. He packed some of it into the carriage; he would pile it outside, under sheets of bark to keep it dry, and it would serve as fine kindling for the schoolhouse stove. He would cut more wood, of course, but this was a good start. He'd finished the smokehouse and had arranged to trade a few loads of wood and labor enough for slaughter, in exchange for a hog. They would have bacon this winter, and side meat, and back strap; little would go to waste, and what they didn't smoke up and keep for winter he would sell back. He and Jacob had already made plans to ride into the hills and bring back winter meat. The Silver Jewel would need meat as well, and with Bigfoot Wallace gone, he reckoned they would prove a market. He paused, and looked with admiration and respect toward the house, and through the back screen door could just see Emma, busy canning. He shook his head. Canning was something he'd never been good at; he'd helped, of course, but preferred to leave such matters to those who were better at it than himself. He considered how hot it was in the kitchen, how hard Emma was working, and how good the fall evening felt, and set another chunk of elm on the stump. Emma wiped her hands on her apron and paused for a moment. She'd been making good progress; while boiling jars and packing vegetables, she'd also been fixing supper at the same time, efficiently balancing several steps in canning with the relatively few steps needed for the evening meal. Taking a towel in hand, she opened the oven door and took a peek at the bread within. She looked with admiration and respect at her husband, spinning the ax in its arc like he was swinging a match stick. It was obvious he was working hard; sweat shone on his well-muscled arms, his shirt was obviously damp -- actually wet across the shoulders, and in the small of his back -- and in the chill, early-evening air, if she looked close, she could see steam coming off him from his labors. Jackson Cooper swung the ax again, cleanly cleaving the sawn elm. "This is without a doubt the easiest exhumation I've ever done," Levi Rosenthal remarked as he viewed the embalmed body of Liam McKenna. "Yes, my brother Caleb said you'd buried this fellow already." I smiled. "My apologies for the duplicity. I'd put out that misinformation intentionally, so no one would be inclined to come in and disturb the carcass." "I see," the Pinkerton agent said, nodding. "And this is the suit he was wearing when he died?" "Was there anything interesting in his pockets?" I handed Mr. Rosenthal an unbleached muslin kerchief, tied into a pouch. "Everything is in here." He opened it, examined the contents, opened the wallet. "Money appears intact." "Does that surprise you?" I asked dryly. Detective Rosenthal smiled. "Please don't take offense, Sheriff. I'm used to the city, and city ways. Back in Frisco, or Chicago either one, these would all have disappeared before the body was cool." "Remind me not to live in the city," I muttered. "Hi Mr. Bill ... Mr Mac!" Sarah and Bonnie were at the Merchantile to purchase a few things to complete a dinner that night with Caleb and Levi attending. Bonnie instructed Sarah to stay out side with Twain Dawg. "See what I have? Isn't he cute?" Standing in front of the two elderly checker playing gents. Mac looked out the corner of his eye ... Bill conscentrating on his next move. Sarah plunked Twain onto the checker board, "Opps!" she said slyly, "But I think those pieces were in the same places yesterday ..... Look Mr. Bill! Twain might be liking you!" Mac began a low soft chuckle, and with gnarled fingers he reached to pet Twain, Bill seeing this, shuffled the pup onto his lap. The bread was baking nicely, the canning was finished for the evening, and the rest of dinner was just about finished. Emma straightened up and with her hands on her lower back, arched backward, stretching out the pain in the muscles that she didn't know she had until very recently. She looked out the window to where Jackson was still busy chopping wood. Removing her apron, she made her way up to their room to find a clean, fresh shirt to take out to Jackson. Returning to the kitchen, shirt draped over her arm, she poured a mug of cool apple cider and then started outside. The methodic sounds of ax hitting wood grew steadily louder as she made her way to the center of activity. Upon seeing her approach, Jackson smiled, laid the ax aside, and with his arm, wiped the sweat from his face. Taking the proferred mug, he quickly downed the cider, eyeing her over the rim. Seeing the shirt draped over her arm, he inquired, "What brings you all the way out here Emma?" "I thought I would bring you a dry, clean shirt so you don't catch your death. It is getting chilly out here and I don't want you catching cold." She stepped closer layed her hand agains his chest and kissed him. "Oh yes, and dinner is almost ready." Emma hung the shirt on the branch of a nearby tree and made her way back to the house. Jackson watched her retreating back and the gentle sway of her hips. He smiled to himself. After so many years of having to look after himself, after all the years of being by himself, he finally knew what it was like to have someone take care of him, and maybe love him. It had taken a bit to repair the damage done by Liam's arson job, both in ripping out the fire-damaged structure and in replacing the damaged stock. Insurance was unknown on the frontier; what a man lost, was simply lost: still, he turned it to his advantage, as best he could, and expanded the building as he'd been planning, just a bit sooner than he figured to. The original storage had been built quickly, with less than skilled labor, and of green lumber: spiked in place, it warped as it seasoned out, and it was never weather tight, forcing him to drive oakum into the interstices between the boards: he never liked the look of it, nor the knowledge that he had to employ the same tactic as a blue-water sailor to keep water from crowding in between the boards comprising the hull of a ship. This time his framing was stronger, and of seasoned timber; drilled and pegged, mostly by the brothers Daine, it had been measured, laid out, sawed and fittted, but not assembled until the moon was right. WJ didn't quite understand this moon business, but the brothers Daine insisted that the right phase of the moon would guarantee the structure would be stronger, tighter and would stand wind, weather and warp much better than one built at some random time. He walked through the finished storeroom, smelling of fresh-cut lumber and the fall air drifting in through the open doors, and nodded. Whether or not this phase-of-the-moon idea held water or not, nobody could fault the Kentucky workmanship that went into their construction. He stood with hands in pockets, mentally assessing the inventory he intended to carry against the cold season to come. With things starting to settle down around here, maybe I can get a feel for the normal pace. "Hello Sarah, has Dawg shrunk?" "No, Mr. Baxter, this is Twain Dawg." "And what a fine dog he is! I see he likes checkers." Emma was just coming up the stairs and heard Jackson Cooper mutter something. "Dear?" she asked, laying a gentle hand on his back. He shook his head. "It ain't right. I ain't a-gonna do it!" "Ain't a-gonna do what?" she asked, puzzled. Jackson turned. "See that bed?" Emma looked at the neatly-made bed, then back to her husband. Jackson kissed her once, gently, and said "Wait for me." Emma's eyes followed his retreating back as he peeled out of his shirt on the way down stairs. Worried now, she gathered her skirts and followed. Jackson Cooper was not a small man by any means. In an age where the average height was not quite six feet, he stood a hand taller than this median; a lifetime of honest labor left its mark in the form of an excellent musculature and a dearth of excess fat. He moved with a lithe grace, the legacy of a born horseman, and at the moment he stood buck naked in the back yard, with his back to the house. Emma watched in amazement and delight as Jackson Cooper bathed at the rain barrel with all the delicacy of a bull hippo. He labored with the single minded efficiency of a man who was accustomed to accomplishing a task in the least wasteful manner possible. Emma had never in her life beheld any but an infant in such a state of undress, and as Jackson Cooper hoisted a bucket well overhead and poured its contents over himself, she could not but admire what she saw. When he was satisfied with his efforts, he plied the towel briskly over his body and wiped his bare feet on the cocoa-nut matting before stepping into the house. Emma discreetly retreated before his towering form. Jackson Cooper padded upstairs to their bedroom and turned down the covers. "Now," he said, hanging the towel over the straight-back chair. "Now it's right." Clean now, and satisfied with his state, he climbed into bed. Emma smiled and blew out the light. Jackson's arm was around Emma, drawing her close. His chin rested on top of her head, his other arm around her as well. "For what?" She wiggled a little, cuddling against his warmth. "You do so much for me," he whispered in the bedroom dark. "So very much!" His heartbeat was loud in her ear, its powerful rhythm a solid reassurance of strength, of certainty. She did not want the moment to end. "I remember this quilt," Jackson murmured. Emma remembered it, too. She'd helped May stitch it together. "May and I hung out every bit of linen in the house, back when winter's back broke," Jackson said quietly, his voice soft with remembrance. "I remember how she looked at this quilt, like it was something special, and she told me it was made for a special someone." His big forearm, across her back, squeezed gently. "I think she meant you." "When I saw it on the bed here, and smelled it again, I couldn't just get into bed. I wanted to be clean. Didn't seem right not to." Emma smiled in the darkness. I asked Shorty for the horse I rode the other day when all the excitement was going on. He brought me one from out back. I said, "I think that's the one. Let's saddle him up. Mr. Moulton and I are going for a ride today." "Good morning, Mr. Moulton. Are you ready to go out and check the claim?" "I'll be ready in a few minutes, Mr. Baxter." "I figured we'd make better time on horseback. We should be back this afternoon easy." I heard running feet on the boardwalk and was out of my chair just as the door burst open. "Sir!" Jacob panted. "There's a fight over at the saloon!" I caught up the shotgun from the rack and stuffed a half dozen extra shells in various pockets as I strode across the street. Tom Landers would be in the thick of it and if things got ugly I wanted to be sure I could settle things in an unmistakable manner. Sure enough, soon as I stepped in the door, Tom ducked a punch, landed two of his own and a fellow in a rough jacket and low cap pulled a knife and made to move in behind him. The range was short and I was moving in close and the left-hand barrel of the 00 gauge caught the fellow just at the third button. Everyone, and everything, froze, all but the huge cloud of smoke rolling ahead of me. I broke open the double gun and plucked the empty out of the chamber, let it drop. Replacing it with a fresh round, I closed the action, nice and easy, and brought the left hand hammer back to full stand. "You fellows aren't from around here," I said mildly. "We just had a hangin' two days ago, nice and legal, and the rope I used ain't even stretched out good yet. You want trouble, I can give it to you, just as much as you want." Tom Landers rolled the fellow over, studied his face. "No, Sheriff, I surely don't. You?" I cocked my head and studied the youthful visage. "Don't ring a bell." I looked over the half-dozen cowed souls who were shifting nervously from one foot to the other. "Who did this fellow used to be?" I inquired. "He used to be Nye Scottley," came the answer. "Was he prone to such lapses of judgement in the past?" "He knifed a fellow in a bar fight back in Denver," the same fellow volunteered, "but he run off before they could catch him." "Any of you fellows know his kin?" Looks were exchanged, heads shaken; nobody did. "Fellows, if Tom Landers here wants to press charges, I'll be more than happy to fill up our jail house and give you a taste of our hospitality. My name's Linn Keller. I'm sheriff here and we don't stand for this foolishness." "Landers!" went from lip to lip, and they shrank a bit from Tom, who stood and nodded. "And Keller! If the damned fool had known!" "He would still be dead. I'll need you, and you" -- I pointed to the nearest two -- "to pick him up and come with me, you're going to carry him over to the undertaker's." "Where you fellows from, anyway?" Tom asked them. "We're miners," came the answer. "They're going to start an opening west of town a little ways." Tom shot me a knowing look. "Reckon we can expect more of this," Tom sighed. It didn't take long for word to get back to the mine, nor for the miners to come back. Esther and Tom Landers had been upstairs, working on the books and making plans for the railroad. Esther had moved operations to Firelands, which meant adding onto the existing building; we added quarters for the dispatcher, relief engineers, the conductors' quarters. Esther was an efficient administrator who knew how to delegate, and how to inspire loyalty in her people. She led, but she also let her people lead, according to their expertise, and it was working out well. The mine had sent engineers to work with her on the new rail line that would have to go in. The original rail line had been built for passenger and light freight service; to save money, the old iron rails had been laid -- but they would never stand up to the strain of an ore train. Steel rails had been used back East for some time, and the mine engineers recommended steel rails and a crushed stone ballast for the roadbed. They were more than happy to supply the stone from the mine itself, calculating that they would not need to freight ore until after the new rail line was complete. In the meantime, the existing rail line would be hauling in their equipment; a spur was even now under construction near the mine for this purpose. I left this work to Esther. I'd given her the railroad. It was hers; I was not about to interfere with what I had publicly said was hers -- it would be not only impolite, it would be as much as saying, "I don't trust you" -- and I was not about to do that! I heard three quick footfalls on the boardwalk outside and was reaching for the gunrack when Jacob opened the door. "Sir?" he said. "You'd best come outside." There were about twenty miners waiting on me, each with a mattock handle. A short, stocky fellow stepped forward. "Why'd you kill my man?" he demanded. "He was a coward," I snarled, "and a back stabber, and was going for Tom Lander's back with a knife." He nodded. "That's what I heard." "My boys don't take it too kindly. They think they oughta bust up the place." I pointed at a miner in the front rank. "You. You're a volunteer. Step up here." He glanced left and right, at his fellows, but stepped forward. I broke open the double gun, stuffed the shells in a vest pocket and handed it to him. "Hold this." I turned to his boss. "Fella, what's your name?" "Mike Hall!" he declared. "I'm the foreman!" I nodded. Reaching out, I plucked the hard-leather miner's cap from his head. Turning it over in my hands, I rubbed its scarred surface. "I remember these. We wore 'em back in the Ohio coal mines." He squinted at me suspiciously. "You know mining?" "You recall the Chauncey roof fall, Number Eight? They got all of 'em out but one. Slab had him by the leg. Doc Balkinal went down in the mine and cut his leg off to get him out alive." "I was cutting bank posts for the mines, just before I became town marshal." He snapped his fingers, pointed at me. "Thought you looked familiar! When they told me who you was, I thought 'Nah, can't be!' -- but here you are!" I turned the miner's cap over in my hands. "You got enough of these?" "I could use about fifty more." "Jacob." I turned and handed the cap to him. "Take this to WJ and see how long it will take him to get fifty of these in." I turned to Hall. "How you set for carbide lights?" His eyes lit up. "Carbide! All we got are the butter lamps." "So I see. Miner's Sunshine." "Yep. Hate the damned things but they're all we've got." "Jacob? Add fifty carbide lights, and enough carbide to run 'em." "Yes, sir!" Jacob was off at a run. "Why you doin' this?" Hall asked suspiciously. "Figger you can kill all of us?" I smiled and addressed the fellow standing beside him. "Toss your cap up in the air." Puzzled, he looked at Hall, then struggled to tuck his club under one arm while holding my broke-open and empty shotgun in the other; getting one hand free, he took off his cap. It spun as it flew, and I stepped back and drew my left-hand Colt, and slip-hammered five shots through it. What was left of the hard-leather cap hit the ground, much the worse for wear. I started punching empties out of the Colt. "Figure you can kill all of us?" "You're might confident for a man who's still loading his gun." I smiled. "You like to try me?" I dropped the last round into the Colt, closed the loading gate, eased the hammer down between two rims. Jacob came pelting up, two caps in hand: Hall's worn and scuffed cap with its battered miner's wick lamp, and a brand-new cap with a brand-new carbide light. I handed Hall back his cap, relieved the nervous-looking miner of my shotgun and handed him the brand-new cap. Jacob handed him a can of carbide. "WJ says he can have fifty of them in three days." He grinned. "With carbide lamps!" I nodded. "You want 'em?" I asked. Hall rubbed his chin. "I can't say as the mine will pay for 'em." "The mine's not buyin', I am." "The hell you say!" He grinned. I thrust a chin toward the saloon. "If your boys still want to bust up the town, let 'em try now and we'll haul the dead back on a flat car. Either that or you can stack your clubs at the hitch rail and I'll buy you all a beer." Hall turned and roared, "You hear that? The war's over!" I was just as happy. Hall hadn't noticed Jacob's coat was unbuttoned. He hadn't noticed Tom Landers, in the doorway of the Jewel, with a Winchester rifle. Nor had he seen Esther standing beside him with my engraved Winchester in hand. Had they been foolish enough to press the matter, not a one would have been left standing. Bonnie stood beside her sewing machine, as regal as any queen, and regarded the two dusty men coldly. "May I help you, gentlemen?" she asked. Twain Dawg advanced, stiff-legged, snarling; his fur was up and he was doing his level best to look absolutely deadly ... well, as deadly as a pup small enough to fit in your coat pocket can be. The two men noticed Twain Dawg and laughed. The first one touched his hat brim. "You be Duzy Wales," he smiled, and his smile was not pleasant. "We are here to take you to the boss." "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about," Bonnie said coolly. Caleb, get in here, she thought with quiet desperation. "The hell you don't!" the first one shouted, taking a half-step forward. "You kilt Luke Hawkins, just like you kilt Bert Graves!" "I'm sorry, sir," Bonnie said quietly, "you're mistaken." The door burst open and Caleb thrust in, shoving the second man hard. The first man turned and slashed at him with his revolver. The second man fell headlong at Bonnie's feet. Caleb's hands came up, open, ready to grapple. "You're gonna die, fancy boy," the first man grated. Bonnie slid open her sewing drawer and pulled out the Sheriff's Navy Colt. The second fellow, prone, tried to reach Bonnie's ankle. The Navy Colt spoke, once. Brain-shot, the first man fell bonelessly atop the second. I dunked two rounds in the breech of the shotgun and took off running. The shot had come from close by. The bar was noisy and I'd been the recipient of good-natured jests and handshakes. My head came up like a hunting dog's and I was at a dead run before I'd covered a yard of ground. The House of McKenna had a familiar blue haze in it, and Caleb was hauling a body off another one. Bonnie had my Navy Colt in hand and was pointing it at one of the bodies. "Sheriff," Bonnie said, "these men called me Duzy and said they were going to take me to The Boss because I'd killed Bert Graves and Luke Hawkins!" Twain Dawg was inches from one of the corpses, bristled up and snarling. If he wasn't so earnest in his efforts he would have been funny. Hell, he was funny, and I couldn't help but grin, looking at him. Twain Dawg yapped, once, a sharp note, and he fell back, surprised. I stuck the muzzle of my shotgun in his soft ribs. "If you're alive, fella, you better hold real still. This-here is a shotgun and I already kilt one man tonight. I won't worry much to kill another." The fellow didn't show very much good sense. He rolled over, fast, with a hideout gun in his palm, and the shot went through my hat brim. It was the last move he ever made. I made a mental note to fix Bonnie's floor, after I cleaned up the mess I'd just made. Caleb came to me later that evening, over in the Jewel, when I sit down to eat with Esther. He and Bonnie joined us. I always admired Bonnie, ever since I met her; she was made of stern stuff, as were most Western women, and it showed here tonight: faced with deadly peril, she had killed one of her attackers, and stood ready to kill the other. May God have mercy on the stupid fool that ever tries to harm her, or Sarah either one,I thought, for Bonnie sure as hell won't! Daisy brought us each a plate, and the food was good. Caleb was troubled, and wrestling with something. I waited. He'd talk in his own good time, and he did. "Sheriff," he said, "would you teach me to shoot?" Levi strode into the House of McKenna holding a piece of paper. The smile on his face vanished as looked upon Caleb who knelt beside a seated Bonnie. It was evident that she shed many a tear. Levi approached slowly, then, too, knelt in front of her and grabed both of her hands into his strong, capable ones, "Bonnie?" She didn't look up. Bonnie's eyes were downcast, starring through her folded hands, "Levi? In your line of work, have killed very many people?" Levi heard what transpired earlier, and answered carefully, "In truth, Bonnie, I have used my gun more for target practice. My gun is with me always, of course, and though I have shot two men, I have killed no one!" It was then that Bonnie looked up to Levi, "But ...." Levi continued, "It has been my philosphy that talking to the man ... or woman, urging them to relinquish their weapon voluntarilly. I have had tremendous success in bringing those I sought, in alive. Therefore, they were placed into the hands of the legal system." Tears began to flow, once again, from Bonnie's green eyes. She shook her head slowly, obviously pleagued with the thoughts on her mind. As if speaking to herself, but just loud enough for the two men to hear, "So much to live with ... so much to carry ...." Caleb embraced her, holding her gently, and Bonnie leaned into that embrace with the hopes to maybe transfer all that had happened to her over the last few years onto someone else to carry. The tears that flowed were as if she were attempting to drain the thoughts as well. Both men remained silent, allowing her the time ... "to what", Caleb thought, "what would errase all that has happened?" Levi spoke, after a time, "Perhaps this news I carry will help, Bonnie. It was intended to be a surprise, but in light of what Father has heard, he thought it would be best to forewarn." "What is it?" Bonnie asked. "I have here a telegram from Father saying Mother and David are their way to Firelands. Father couln't come with her, so David is coming along ..." "Miriam? She is coming to Firelands?" Caleb looked over to Levi. Levi placed one hand on Calebs shoulder, while his other hand was still cradleing Bonnie's hands, "Yes, Bonnie ... she so desprately wants to see you and meet Sarah." Bonnie took one of her hands away from Levi's grasp, and brushed the back of her hand against her wet cheeks, "I believe I would relish in the thought of having Miriam here ... David, too. She looked to Twain Dawg, who slept at Bonnie's feet, and scooped him up, "If you two would excuse me ... I think Twain and I will go and retrieve Sarah from school." Caleb and Levi both stood when Bonnie did, "How about if we join you?" Caleb asked. Emmett Daine shook his head. "I'm sorry, Sheriff, but I can't do much with this fellow. Ball took him from back to front and pretty well ruined his face." "Well, do the best you can," I said, suddenly tired. Emmett laid the blank sheets on the side table and looked at the dead outlaw, then at me. I parked the shotgun against the wall and took off my hat, rubbing my face with a bandanna. My forehead was greasy and my cheeks were almost numb and I was tired, bone tired. Boy that all came about quick! One minute I'm serving customers and the next minute all Hell's breaking loose! I couldn't believe how fast Linn got there! The goings ons next door was just as bad. This area isn't as settled as I thought it was getting. With all these miners that just came through, I'd better have Miss Duzy order supplies a little heavier when she gets back. Morning lessons had flown by and lunch was again an adventure in stick ball and racing around the bases, cleaning scrapes, and kissing away hurts. The children had really taken to Emma and were more than happy to do her bidding in the classroom. So, for the afternoon lessons, Emma wanted to treat them. They had just taken their seats and pulled out their readers when inspiration struck. "Ok children, please put away your readers." Looks of confusion crossed their young, smooth faces. "But Mrs. Cooper, you just told us to get them out!" Called Jacob from the back of the room. "I know Jacob, but I have changed my mind! Now if you all would stand up and go outside, I would greatly appreciate it!" Again, silence and confusion filled the classroom, eyebrows raised to the hairlines, and questioning whispers could be heard. But they obeyed. Grabbing up the large, old, patchwork quilt Emma kept stored in the building for emergencies, and a book, she followed them out the door. Finding them all standing on the steps, looking up at her with curiosity written boldly in their eyes, she laughed. "Oh goodness! You are all looking at me as though I have taken leave of my senses! I assure you I have not. Now please make your way to the tree across the school yard. It offers some nice cool shade beneath its limbs." Again, following what to them was an odd request, the children obeyed. When they reached the large shade tree, Emma spread the quilt over the thick mat of weeds and grass. "Now please have a seat. Or if you prefer you may lay back and close your eyes or look up through the leaves to the clouds. I am going to read to you for our reading assignment." Looks of wonder and pleasure now replaced looks of confusion and yes, on some faces worry. Emma leaned back against the rough trunk of the huge tree, and opening her book began to read. Eyes stared back at her. Eyes as big as an owl's on a cloudy night. Eyes full of wonder, shock, disbelief and excitement. Emma had been reading 00 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. There had been no interuptions. No talking. Nothing but the sound of a light breeze playing with the yellowing leaves of the tree and insects going about their business in the grass. And the sound of Emma's voice transporting the children to a different time and place. She had just started another chapter, wanting to extend their delight to the last possible moment, when she heard the report of a shotgun. Trying to beat down her panic, she swung her head around to look at the Silver Jewel and then her instincts took over. "Everyone back in the school NOW!!" Without anymore convincing, the children stood, those who were older taking the hands of the younger ones and hurried to the building. Walking past Sarah, Emma grabbed her small hand and pulled her along. Once inside, she shut and bolted the door and sagged against it. Pasting a smile on her face, trying to remain calm so as not to cause her students any more concern, Emma opened her book again and beginning where she left off, started to read again. Silently, she was thinking that that night she would ask Jackson to teach her to shoot, so she could be comfortable using a pistol, in case she would be in need of one to protect the children while under her care. Then maybe he would be able to get her one to keep with her while she was in town. Jacob was tall for his age, rangy, you might say, all whalebone and whipcord: no stranger to hard work, hands surprisingly callused for one of his few years, but still in some ways still a boy. He'd surprised himself by speaking up in class as he did, and wished he hadn't. It was so very unlike him to speak up. Normally he tried to be colorless, invisible, unseen ... but on some deep level he knew this schoolmarm was different. This one could be trusted. He went outside with the other children and, surprised, lay down, partly on the quilt, mostly on the grass, and looked up through the tree branches, and listened. He'd never seen the ocean; he'd never seen most of the things Mrs. Cooper was reading about ... well, he'd never seen them himself, but with her help, he was seeing it through another man's eyes, and he was fascinated. His own eyes beheld branches, and coloring leaves, and a magnificently clear sky, but his inner eye saw the world of a certain Mr. Verne, and he was entranced by the vision. At least until the shotgun went off. He was off the ground and on all fours like a stung cat, nostrils flared, weight on his fingertips and the balls of his feet. He reached up and unbuttoned the single coat button that kept his Army Colt hidden, and waited. Mrs. Cooper clapped her hands and herded her young charges into the schoolhouse. Jacob hung back with her, behind her, watching; he was last into the schoolhouse, and as Mrs. Cooper pulled the door shut and secured it, he carefully, discreetly, buttoned his coat. Mrs. Cooper acted as if nothing were amiss, and continued reading. Jacob returned to his seat, a sick worry in his stomach. I met Bonnie, Sarah and the brothers Rosenthal on their way back from the schoolhouse. I needed to talk to Bonnie, and she needed to hear what I had to say. We all crossed the street and went into the Sheriff's office. "First of all," I said gently, "Bonnie, you are not in trouble. The law regards your action as entirely necessary and completely justified. This is a personal matter, and I need your help." "Mine?" she asked, clearly uncertain; she held Caleb's hand with her left, and her right went involuntarily to her bodice. I dragged out chairs enough for the three of them, and I hauled mine from behind the desk and parked it right in front of Bonnie, close enough that our knees nearly touched. Sarah had already happily usurped Charlie's vacant cot and was curled up on her side, watching us with a drowsy expression. I leaned my elbows forward on my knees and took both Bonnie's hands. "Bonnie, you have been through a terrible time," I said, my voice gentle. "I want you to look around you, first of all." She blinked, then looked at Levi on her left and Caleb on her right, and she looked around the room, and over at Sarah, and back at me, puzzled. "Bonnie, if you were to open the door and look at the door frame, you would see it is made of two inch thick, seasoned timber, pegged in place. The walls are nearly a foot thick and proof against any rifle bullet. Nobody can harm you here." "Bonnie," I said, soothing, pitching my voice a little lower, "you are safe here. You are safe from harm, and nothing can hurt you here. Caleb is beside you, Levi is beside you, I am here with you, and you are inside a fortress. You are safe here, Bonnie." I could feel her hands beginning to relax and her face wasn't as drawn. Levi's eyes were bright and interested. He hadn't seen this before. "Bonnie, you're going to watch what happened like it was a play on a stage," I continued, my voice soothing, gentle, relaxing. "You are watching a play, nothing more. You will be watching the actors. You are safe with me, you are safe here, you are watching a play. Do you understand me, Bonnie?" I glanced over at Sarah. She was sound asleep. "Bonnie, the play begins when those two men come into your shop. Do you see them?" Her hands tightened and her face started to line again. "I see them." "You are watching a play," I said quietly, "you are watching actors, nothing more. You cannot be harmed. Do you see them come in, Bonnie?" "Yes," she said, relaxing. "I see them." "Do you hear what they are saying?" Bonnie blinked, slowly. "One is laughing," she said quietly, "and one is threatening me." "Tell me what you see happening next." "Caleb comes in the door. He knows something is wrong." "You are watching a play, Bonnie, you are perfectly safe here with me." Her hands were still relaxed and the lines had disappeared from her face. "Now, Bonnie, what does Caleb do?" "Caleb knows I'm in trouble," she continues, speaking a little slower than usual. "He pushes the man nearest him and he falls." "Tell me what you see next." "The other man pulls his gun and tries to hit Caleb." He is going to kill Caleb." "You are watching a play, Bonnie. What happens next?" Bonnie's eyes close. "I open the drawer." "Look at my eyes, Bonnie. Look at my eyes." She opened her eyes. "Look at my blue eyes, Bonnie. Do you see my eyes?" "Look at my left eye, Bonnie." Her eyes shifted, steadied. "Look at my blue eye with the little gold flecks. Do you see the gold, Bonnie?" "The gold looks like flakes of gold in a streambed, with water running over them," I said gently. "Do you see the gold, Bonnie?" "Bonnie, you are safe here, nothing can harm you. You are watching a play. Tell me what happens when the drawer opens." "I draw out your Navy Colt and kill the man." "What is this man going to do?" "He is going to kill Caleb." "Can you stop him in any other way?" "Bonnie, this is important. Look at the gold. Bonnie, do you see the gold?" "I shot him in the back of the head." There is a little twitch at the corners of her mouth. "I see Twain Dawg." "What is Twain Dawg doing?" "He's growling. He's all puffed up and he's growling like he's going to tear them apart." "Caleb grabs the man I shot and you come through the door." "He turns over and tries to shoot you." "Bonnie, the play is almost over. You are doing very well and I am proud of you. You are watching a play, and nothing in it can harm you. Do you understand?" Bonnie's gaze was on my left eye, unwavering, unblinking. "I understand." "Bonnie, what was the most terrible thing that happened in that play?" "What was the man trying to do?" "Could you have stopped him in any other way?" "You did the right thing, Bonnie. You did the right thing, do you understand? You did not kill him. He killed himself by giving you no other choice!" Bonnie's hands were still relaxed in mine and her face had not tautened. "Bonnie, you are completely relaxed. You are safe here. No harm can come to you here. Do you understand?" "Bonnie, I am going to count backwards from five to zero. When I reach two, you will blink, and you will wake up, and when I reach zero, you will be completely refreshed, and you will be secure in the knowledge that you have done nothing wrong, and that what you did was right, and was necessary." My voice was still soft, and soothing, and gentle. I counted backwards, from five. At zero, Bonnie shifted in her seat and smiled a little to find me holding her hands. She turned and saw Caleb, and past him, on Charlie's cot, Sarah, sound asleep, Twain Dawg curled up on the floor beneath. Bonnie took Caleb's hand and smiled. Levi nodded. "Sheriff, I'd like to talk to you privately," he said, and I nodded. "Caleb?" I asked. "I'd like to talk to you two just a little more." Caleb nodded, puzzled. "I want to talk to you about Esther. But for now, I want pie and coffee, and I'm buyin'!" "Sheriff," Levi asked me as we crossed the street to the Silver Jewel, "what did you just do?" "Something I learned in the War," I replied. "Bonnie has never had to face something as terrible as what has happened to her in the past few days. She had to kill a man that came in the Jewel as the outlaws hit town. She did that to protect Sarah. She was fine with that -- there is no fiercer fighter in all of nature than the mother tiger defending her cubs. Bonnie survived being chloroformed, abducted and tortured, mostly because she could fight back. Even chained up she could fight, and she did, and to good effect." "I read the affidavit," Levi murmured. "But killing a man so close you can shove the muzzle against the back of his head? That was the most terrible moment she had to face," I continued. "The knowledge was here" -- I placed my fingertips against my forehead -- "and if we can walk her through it, and walk her past that one most terrible moment, and walk her through what happened next? -- and what happened next? -- and what followed that? -- I don't pretend to understand why it works, only that it does -- because if the knowedge ages a full day and it get down to here" -- my fingertips went to my breastbone -- "then it becomes part of your body's memory and the body never, ever forgets. More than that" -- I paused for emphasis -- "unless I had taken her through it, and past it, in a way that she knew she was safe, and could not be hurt, then every time she remembered it she would come up against that most terrible moment, and back away from it ... and she would come up against it again, and back away ... and each time, that stone wall of a memory would grow stronger, until finally she would never be able to get past it." "I see," he said quietly. "She also needed to hear that what she did was right, and it was unavoidable, and that most of all, she had not killed him, he committed suicide by giving her no other choice." I stopped and looked Levi squarely in the eye. "Levi, to tell her that you've never had to kill a man, that you've always been able to talk them into surrender, is exactly the worst thing you could do to that poor woman. She's already tortured herself enough over that one most terrible moment. Telling her what you did was pouring salt into a whip-cut." Levi blinked. I'd hit him where he lived with that one. I laid an understanding hand on his shoulder. "When you told her that, you were also being honest. Believe me, my friend, I have hurt people myself with the spoken word, and God help me from repeating the sin, but likely I will do worse before I'm dead!" "Point taken," Levi said quietly. "Thank you, Sheriff." We sat down together over Daisy's good pie and vanilla coffee. Esther was working the books, upstairs; she would be down a little later. Just as well: I had Bonnie and Caleb's attention, and better than that, their curiosity, with my comment about wanting to talk about Esther. "Caleb," I said, "Esther is a very special woman." Caleb looked at Bonnie and smiled gently. "I know what you mean," he murmured. "She is strong and she is gentle, every inch a lady, and a gifted artisan in her own right," I continued. "She is warm and solid in my arms and she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with." Bonnie laid her hand on Caleb's arm and smiled. "She is my balance wheel and my wise counsel; she is the smile I live for and the reason I draw breath." I leaned forward a little to emphasize my words. "Caleb, I learned early in life I can die at any moment, and I learned far too late that I deserve some happiness in this lifetime. I intend to marry Esther the very moment she agrees on a date." "You nearly lost her twice already, Caleb. If there's a third attempt you might not have luck in your hand." Sarah had just finished her little slice of pie and came up for air as I uttered the words "luck in your hand." I smiled as I noticed she had berries blueprinted on either side of her smiling mouth. Sarah tugged at Bonnie's sleeve. "Mama?" she whispered, cupping her hand to funnel her breathy, warm whisper into her Mama's ear. "Is the Sheriff talking about how Caleb lost at poker last night?" Bonnie laughed out loud causing glances from the Sheriff, Caleb and Levi, but Bonnie whispered back into Sarah's ear, "No, sweetheart, that's not what the Sheriff is talking about ... I think he's playing matchmaker ..." Sarah wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "That's what the kids at school are doing to Billy ... poor Billy, Mama, he turns so red whenever the kids bring up that he's going to be my fella ... I just look at them and scold them, but somehow I think that makes it worse!" Bonnie laughed again then looked to the gentlemen at the table. "If it is just the same with you all, I think Sarah and I need to be getting home. "I'll walk you, Bonnie ..." Caleb scooted hers and Sarah's chair back to the table, and the three walked out of the Silver Jewel. Bonnie in the middle of Caleb and Sarah, all three walked toward the cottage hand in hand. "Bonnie? What do you make of what transpired with Linn today?" "I've been thinking on that, actually ...." "And ... I don't know. I understand, to a point what happened was a mere part of a whole picture. I guess, Caleb, I need to look at life that way, too." Bonnie paused, thinking. Caleb let her do so ... even Sarah said nothing. Bonnie continued, "For the most part, I don't have any complaints with most of the brush strokes creating this picture of a life I've lived .... I don't like some of the darker colors that have been used at times. I can still see that dark picture painted when Papa died, at Sam's Place, the other situations that have transpired since ... but I do see some brighter color strokes interlacing the darker ones. Sarah, for example," Bonnie looked loving toward the child and squeezed her hand. "With you, too, Caleb ..." She looked over to gaze in those wonderful gray eyes. Eyes filled with so much life. A person could get lost in their depth. There was hope in those eyes. The three stopped walking. Caleb laid a hand on Bonnie's cheeks, and held her gaze. The silence was broken, however, "Is this were you two kiss?" "Yes, Sarah ... this is where we kiss ..." The lips came together meeting as one. The breath shared was also one. Questions were replaced with answers. "Mama? Caleb? I'm a little cold .... Can't we please go home?" Caleb and Bonnie broke apart, Caleb picked up Sarah in one arm, and walked with his other across Bonnie's shoulders. Both Sarah and Bonnie rested their heads on Calebs shoulder and arm. "Bonnie? What is it you would like out of life?" "Interesting you should ask! Though I believe I will wait for your Mother to get here. There are some things I'd like to discuss with her first, but I believe I want to be surrounded by a family again. I would like to gleen from a families strength, Caleb ... I'm tired of being alone ...." I stood at the foot of the stairs, hat in hand, as Esther descended She held her hem up just enough, just barely enough, and her train rippled down the gleaming steps behind her like a silk waterfall. Now there's a fine-looking woman, I thought, and offered my arm as she reached bottom. I looked closely at her face. The bridge of her nose was smooth; she'd never worn glasses that I'd known, and there were no pince-nez marks now. "You have such young eyes," I murmured, and she smiled, and took my arm. We sat at the same table I'd just shared with Caleb and what I sincerely hoped would soon be his family. I'd given him enough to think about. Esther asked for tea and a small slice of pie; tea sounded good to me too, but I was still full. Jacob came in from out back, cheeks pink with exertion and the cool night air. He drew out a chair and we welcomed his presence. Daisy didn't bother asking; bless her, she knew tall boys well enough to bring a loaded plate, and Jacob buisied himself doing justice to the feast. "How long will it take Duzy to reach home?" I asked. Daisy made a second trip with our tea, and a pot of honey. Esther and I both added a dollop, stirred it in. "I'm not sure," Esther admitted. "I was of two minds, whether to go, or to stay." I reached for her hand, held it between both mine. Esther closed her eyes and sighed. "Your hands are so warm!" "Esther, if you need to go, then by all means go!" I urged her. "This is family. If you're needed, I won't be so selfish as to keep you here!" Esther opened her eyes, laid her other hand on top of mine. "You are my family now," she said. "Forsaking all others I will cleave unto you." "Name the date," I whispered. "My lady, I wait on your good pleasure." Jacob looked up between forkfuls of beef and gravy. "Shakespeare?" he asked. "Something like that," Esther murmured. Jacob turned back to his plate. At the moment, his meal seemed quite a bit more interesting. The fall colors were beautiful,the mountains of North Carolina a sight to behold, as the memories of her childhood hit her full force, her eyes becoming misty as she fought to keep her composure, dabbing her eyes with her hankerhief, as her heart filled to her throat until she thought she would burst! She would never hear another of Grandpa's stories. Mama would need her to stay strong to get through the coming days. Mama had been Grandpa's only daughter and the apple of his eye, doting on her much like Duzy's Papa had her. Not being one to sit back and feel sorry for herself, Mama was standing there, alongside Papa, each one eagerly awaiting the sight of their headstrong but beloved daughter, as the train came to a halt. "Anymore dreams while you slept?" Duzy knew Jake could tell when she was having one of her dreams, sometimes she would talk in her sleep, sometimes calling a name, sometimes coming awake so quickly, that she was up before she was awake! Duzy remembered the dream she was having just before she had been awakened by the train whistle.....but it was one she was not willing to believe......so she said nothing. Papa had been shaking hands with Jake when he turned and gave Duzy a big bear hug, letting go, and stepping back, looking her over, as if he were making sure she was alright, just as he always had. He looked into her eyes and knew his daughter was in love and he felt proud of her choice. He knew Jake to be a good man and one that would look after his daughter, just as he did. "So, when is the wedding?" "Papa!" "Lee!" the two replies coming in unison, from Duzy and Mama. Jake laughed, and then turned to both ladies and said, "Mrs. Wales, Duzy, I asked for Lee's blessing before I left for Firelands, during my last visit, and was happy to receive it! I was planning to ask Duzy the day we got the news of your Father, and I am so sorry for your loss, he was loved by many and will be missed." "Thank you, Jake, he is at peace now and with Jesus, which makes it easier to bear." "As for your question Lee, I am ready to become a husband whenever Duzy tells me she will have me, but I plan to ask her proper, just as she deserves!" Duzy was happy her Mama had spoken, as she was still reeling from what she had just heard. She had thought along the trip how she would explain the relationship to her parents, and had decided to keep quiet unless they asked. Papa had surely taken care of that, Duzy thought, smiling at the big man who had always been there for her, still handsome, and always saying what was on his mind! The telegraph office was their first stop to send word to Aunt Esther and Linn that they had arrived safely, knowing they would relay the information to those who needed to know. Lee already knew his sister was engaged to be married and was happy, having had Sheriff Keller checked out and found to be a good strong man, a good match for Esther, and her headstrong ways! He wondered if Mr. Keller had found just how independent Esther could be, and chuckled to himself at the thought. Soon, they were back at Duzy's childhood home. "HOME SAFE JAKE PROPOSED MORE LATER DUZY" Trust Duzy, I thought, even in grief she passes along good news! I looked up at Esther, handed her the telegram. Esther's hand went to her mouth and a smile wrinkled her eyes up at the corners, and she threw her arms wide, and I seized her up and spun her around. Daisy threw one hip out and, knuckles on her hip, declared, "Why can't I ever get a telegram like that!" "Jake proposed to Duzy!" I told her as Esther and I headed for the door, holding hands like a couple of kids. "About time!" Daisy exclaimed. "He took long enough!" Bonnie hummed as she worked, planning her day as her hands went about the familiar tasks of her morning: today she would finish two gowns, she would inventory her stock and plan her next order, and she would giggle when she looked at her bank book. Gold mining, when I don't have to mine the gold! she thought. This is nice! Twain Dawg whined, his flesh wrinkled up between his ears. Twain Dawg yapped, a sharp, insistent note, but there was no response from the small figure in the bed. Twain Dawg started casting about with his nose to the floor. His need was getting quite urgent now; he yapped twice, then sat down, cocking his head to the side, listening. Twain Dawg began yapping again, urgently, shrilly, and very, very loudly. A mother's instinct took over. Bonnie dropped the towel, half-running across her kitchen. She opened Sarah's bedroom door just as her daughter began to convulse. "Mrs. Cooper, are you ready?" Jackson Cooper asked, extending his hand as Emma crossed the front porch. "Thank you, Mr. Cooper, yes, I am ready," Emma smiled, taking his hand and stepping carefully down the two stone steps to the stone walkway. She tilted her face up as Jackson leaned down and kissed her, one time, gently. "I love you, Mr. Cooper," Emma murmured, molding herself into Jackson. Jackson's arms were warm and strong around her. She felt his contented sigh. Jackson Cooper laughed with genuine pleasure and he kissed Emma on the forehead; slipping his hands under her arms, he picked her up and whirled her about, and deposited her neatly in their buggy. "Time for school, Mrs. Jackson," he declared, striding around the back of the wagon and climbing in. With a gentle flick of the reins and a quiet "Yup there!" they started down their little dirt road. Bonnie wrapped Sarah tightly in her quilt. The child was burning up, but she was also struggling, and Bonnie contained her as best she could. Twain Dawg whined, head tilted to the side. Bonnie turned with a great swing of skirts and headed for the front door. Twain Dawg galloped after her with a puppy's curious, hobby-horse gait. "Jackson?" Emma's voice had an edge he'd never heard before. "I see her," he replied, tension edging his own voice. Bonnie was running up the road toward them, a small, blanket-wrapped form in her arms. Bonnie handed Sarah to Jackson, and Jackson handed her to Emma, extending his big callused hand to seize Bonnie's forearm and haul her aboard. Bonnie landed in the back seat as Jackson snapped the reins, hard. Twain Dawg ran after the retreating wagon, ran until he could run no more, then he set his square little bottom down on the ground, panting. He looked after them with an expression of profound sorrow. Twain Dawg pointed his little muzzle to the cloudless blue and howled, one, long, treble, puppy-pitched note, singing his grief to the uncaring sky. If he hadn't been so sincere it would have been funny. We rode out for just under three hours at a canter until I recognized the creek. Mr Moulton was making mental notes all the way as we rode. We left the trail upstream to the place where I had camped. I showed him the area I had in mind. He said I could stake out a much larger area if I wanted to and to be sure to include both sides of the creek. He wrote down some notes about where we were and paced off to measure the area and helped me set markers, then we started back to town. "I'll get this all recorded for you by tomorrow." Bonnie was out of the wagon before they were stopped. She landed flat-footed on the dirt street, took two long steps and hammered on Doc Greenlee's locked door. Then she saw the note. Emma saw Bonnie's shoulders sag, and she ran back to the wagon. Jackson Cooper extended her hand and Bonnie stepped in, fighting tears. "He's delivering a baby!" she blurted. "He's a day's ride south, delivering a baby!" Jackson Cooper and Emma looked at one another. Jackson snapped the reins. "Yup there! Hard about!" The big warmblood brought their buggy around in the street and they headed for the Silver Jewel at a spanking trot. Tilly looked up as Jackson Cooper's big form filled the doorway, but filled it for barely a moment, for he had the stride of a man on a mission. He also had a small, blanket-wrapped form in his arms, and the blanket was moving. Emma pushed past her husband, Bonnie's hand in hers. "Susan? Where is she, please?" "Upstairs, number eight," Tillie replied, eyes growing big as she took in the lines engraved on Bonnie's pretty face, and her uncharacteristic pallor. Jackson turned and took the stairs two at a time. Daisy came out of the kitchen, a worried look on her face. "I heard the commotion. What's going on?" "I don't know but I think it's Sarah!" "Oh, no," Daisy murmured. "I'll put on more hot water." She went to the back door. "Jacob! Could you draw some more water, please? And we'll need more wood!" Susan Spicer had just finished making the bed when she heard urgent footsteps in the hall. She reached for the door and hauled it open just as Jackson Cooper's big fist came down on empty air. He was carrying a squirming blanket and a worried expression and Susan reached in and took it from him, depositing it on the freshly-made bed. Professionalism, training and experience took over. Bonnie was at her side. "Exposure to sick or strange children?" Emma grasped her husband's arm. "Two of the children in school were ill yesterday. They were fevered, a little, and coughing. I kept them in the back of the room and kept the windows open." "And a good thing, too," Susan murmured, stripping the child out of her soaking nightclothes. "She's burning up." Susan laid a gentle hand on Sarah's chest, listening with her fingers, peeled back an eyelid. Sarah's eyes were rolled back in her head. Tillie was at the door. "Susan, what do you need?" "Water. One bucket hot, one of cold, and a tub." "Jacob!" Tillie called down the stairs. Esther was a scarred veteran of many childhood illnesses, but she knew this was serious. As soon as Susan got Sarah in the tub of tepid water, the measles fairly exploded into view. Susan knew the statistics; Susan knew the follow-up conditions that too often followed; Susan knew this was one sick little girl that would need watching for the next few days and nights. "What can we do?" Bonnie whispered, squeezing Esther's hand. Esther patted her hand in return. "The first thing we do, dear, is understand that Susan knows what she is doing, and she will take care of Sarah better than any man!" "Right now we need to give the woman room to work, so let's go downstairs and we'll have a nice cup of tea." "I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS!" Bonnie lashed, then buried her face in her hands, sobbing. "I'm sorry, Esther, I'm so sorry!" Esther soothed her like a frightened child and Bonnie clung to her like a drowning man cling to a life ring. "I want my Mama," Bonnie sobbed, utterly broken. "I want my Mama!" A dam broke inside Bonnie's heart, and all the grief, and all the fear, and all the loss, and all the hurt she'd kept walled away in a hidden corner of her heart, came roaring over her soul with the force of a Niagara. She had no idea when Caleb arrived, only that he was there, and she held him, and he held her, and he drew her onto his lap as he eased into a rocking chair, and he held her and he rocked her and he stroked her hair and he made the soothing sounds a hurt child needs to hear, and Bonnie cried herself out, cried for the loss of her parents, cried for the hurts done to her, cried for every bruise Sarah had borne, and now she cried because the most precious thing she knew was about to be taken from her by something she couldn't fight. Caleb Rosenthal had never claimed to be a wise man, but he was wise enough to hold Bonnie, and to rock her, because in that moment, that was exactly what Bonnie needed. Pastor Belding was riding down the road, enjoying the morning, with a brace of fat turkeys hanging by their feet from his saddlehorn and a few partridge balancing the load on the other side. Hunting had been good this morning. A high, keening sound caught his attention. He looked ahead and saw what looked like a small black blob sitting in the road, and the noise seemed to be coming from that blob. He heeled his horse into a jog and rode up to the blob. The puppy looked at him over its shoulder then went back to howling. "What's the matter, little fella?" the pastor asked. "Did you lose your last friend?" He looked closer at the pup and recognized Twain Dawg. "What're you doing so far from home?" Abraham had seen the little girl with her puppy and a sudden chill passed over him. "Is something wrong with Sarah?" Twain Dawg didn't answer, just launched into another high pitched howl. Abraham bent from his saddle and scooped up the puppy and tucked him into his coat. He kicked his horse into a run towards town. As he loped down the main street Abraham could see the Cooper's wagon parked in front of the Silver Jewel. It was an odd time to see that wagon in that spot so he reined his horse to the hitchrail beside the wagon and dropped from his saddle. He reached into his saddlebag for his Bible and ran inside, cradling Twain Dawg in the crook of his arm. Inside he saw Caleb and Bonnie and he slowed to a walk. Bonnie's eyes were closed and her cheeks were pale and streaked with tears. Abraham looked at Caleb and held up his Bible. Caleb looked back with a neutral expression on his face then nodded once. Abraham stepped forward. "How can I help?" he asked. Bonnie's eyes opened. "Sarah is very sick," she said hoarsely. "And I feel so helpless. Please, if you would pray for her?" "Of course," Abraham said gently. He set Twain Dawg on the floor and bowed his head and clasped his hands around his Bible. "Heavenly Father, you know the burdens this family bears and you know the needs they have. I ask you now to lay your strengthening hand and your healing touch on Sarah, who needs you most of all right now. And I ask that you bring your love and comfort to Sarah's parents in their hour of need. I ask and thank you in Jesus' name. Amen." He lifted his eyes to Caleb's, and a look of gratitude passed from Caleb to Abraham. "I know that your faith and mine are somewhat different," Abraham said quietly, "but I don't believe that matters at a time like this, does it?" "No, I don't believe it does," Caleb said just as quietly. "Thank you." "Tilly, have you had the measles?" "Years ago, honey. I was just a child." Susan brought Sarah's shivering form out of the bathtub and into the big Turkish towel Tillie was holding. "You realize she can't stay here." Anger flared in Tillie's hazel eyes, quickly shuttered behind long-lashed lids. "Measles kills one out of every fifteen children it infects," Susan continued matter-of-factly. "It's hard on adults but not as deadly. It can lead to deafness, paralysis, blindness or imbecility, and we don't know how it's spread. Our best guess is it's breathed but we don't know that." "Where can we take her?" "Home is my best recommendation. She is going to be one sick little girl. If she doesn't die of pneumonia in the next two weeks, if she doesn't die of dysentery before then, and if the fever doesn't come back, she'll have a fair chance." She toweled Sarah's still-shivering form, picked up an adult-sized flannel nightgown and worked it gently down over Sarah's little form. "Right now we keep her warm and wait." Susan knelt at the child's bedside, taking Sarah's little hand in both of hers, and bowed her head. Susan was not a physician. She knew a fair amount about healing, but she knew when to ask for help. Twain Dawg had shivered in the warm grasp of the fellow that picked him up off the road. Somehow he knew this man could be trusted, and that he was safe, and he was being taken somewhere, and that was a comfort. His curiosity also came alive, for he'd never ridden horseback before, and he rather enjoyed the sensation. He cuddled up against the man's warmth and sighed. | 2019-04-23T14:46:09Z | null | {

I have an awesome geeky friend who happens to be a girl (like about eighty-ninety percent of the writers on this site). She knows more about Star Warsand Star Trek and Doctor Who than I do and she's flirting with comics. She liked Captain America as a kid and we keep getting DC Superhero Girls stuff for her niece (who loves Batgirl). She likes Spider-Gwen and Monstress, mostly, but she also really digs the movies that've come out, especially Captain America. She bought a Cap shirt and wore it a lot for years, but these days it's gathering dust in a closet. | 2019-04-23T16:25:16Z | null | {

In the essays collected here, Abbas Milani uses an impressive array of cross-disciplinary Western and Iranian theories and texts to investigate the crucial question of modernity in Iran today. He offers a wealth of new insights into the thousand-year-old conflict in Iran between the search for modernity and the forces of religious obscurantism. The essays trace the roots of Shiite Islamic fundamentalism and offer illuminating accounts of the work of Iranian intellectuals - both men and women - and their artistic movements as they struggle to find a new path toward a genuine modernity in Iran that is congruent with Iran's rich cultural heritage. Lost Wisdom: Rethinking Modernity in Iran challenges the hitherto accepted theory that modernity and its related concepts of democracy and freedom are Western in essence. It also demonstrates that Iran and the West have more that brings them together than separates them in their search for such modern ideals as rationalism, the rule of law, and democracy. These essays will reward the scholar and the general reader alike, and will go far toward explaining the enigma that is Iran today. | 2019-04-23T05:11:29Z | null | {

Throughout time, societies have recognized the need to educate the coming generation of adults to pass on knowledge and skills. Recorded history from long before the present era emphasizes that education must also develop character. One of the great education reformers, Horace Mann, in the 0000s, helped to improve instruction in classrooms nationwide, advocating that character development was as important as academics in American schools. The United States Congress, recognizing the importance of this concept, authorized the Partnerships in Character Education Program in 0000. The No Child Left Behind Act of 0000 renews and re-emphasizes this tradition - and substantially expands support for it. Indeed, one of the six goals of the Department of Education is to "promote strong character and citizenship among our nation's youth" (Strategic Plan 0000-0000). To reach this goal, the Department of Education joins with state education agencies and school districts across our country to provide vital leadership and support to implement character education. Within the character of the citizen lies the welfare of the nation. ...nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. What is the school's role in character education? In school, character education must be approached comprehensively to include the emotional, intellectual and moral qualities of a person or group. It must offer multiple opportunities for students to learn about, discuss and enact positive social behaviors. Student leadership and involvement are essential for character education to become a part of a student's beliefs and actions. State education agencies, through a collaborative community process, have chosen to incorporate character education into their school improvement plans and state standards. Some states have chosen to implement character education through official state policies such as the Michigan State Board of Education Policy on Quality Character Education. Many schools have chosen to incorporate character education into their plans for Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities. Commitment to making character education an integral part of the education process. The United States Congress and the Department of Education have expanded support for character education for more than a decade, enabling schools across our nation to implement character education in a variety of ways. The Department of Education provides grants to state and local education agencies to support the development of character education. Since 0000, through the Partnerships in Character Education Program (www.ed.gov/programs/charactered/index.html), the Department has awarded 00 grants to assist in designing, implementing and sustaining high-quality opportunities for students to learn and understand the importance of strong character in their lives. Education at its best should expand the mind and build character. Order by calling (000) 0ED-PUBS. | 2019-04-21T11:02:20Z | null | {

While I've tried many different ways of making favicons, I prefer - and would recommend - creating PNGs and then converting them using png0ico. I'm still on the fence whether bundling a 00x00 pixel version pays off. On one hand, it's "invisible" and available in cases where it'd make sense; on the other hand, it's just extra bits to send down the wire.

Caliber was partner to Oakley in a series of projects that spanned over a decade. Tasked with schedule and cost guidance, Caliber led efforts at Anaheim Angels Stadium, leading retail complex Irvine Spectrum Center, and several projects at Oakley's corporate office in Orange County, CA. Caliber led the effort to open a retail concept at Irvine Spectrum Center designed to create a fresh shopping experience as much as showcase their dominion as one of the top action sports lifestyle brands. At both the retail store and at Angels Stadium, the intent to create a brand immersion experience that stressed Oakley's performance technologies and fashion leadership included incorporating interactive displays, multiple plasma screens, open displays, and a make-your-own eyewear bar. Caliber ensured the work was completed, including working seven days a week, both daytime and during the night, when needed to make the scheduled opening. The distinctive look of the Oakley brand is on full display in their new space. The retail outlet at Angels Stadium is located at the 0B entrance to the Diamond Club. | 2019-04-26T08:41:55Z | null | {

Adam Greco is something of a legend in the Adobe Analytics space. I've been reading his blog posts and learning from him since I first started using Omniture back in 0000 or so. He literally wrote the book on Omniture and then Adobe SiteCatalyst. The reason his blog was so useful is that very few people were writing about advanced digital analytics at the time. Between Adam and Ben Gaines, I learnt much of what I know about the then-emerging discipline. Adam also recently come on board as a strategic advisor for Snowplow. That's super exciting because now there's someone with extensive experience helping the Snowplow team refine their offering. A few weeks ago Adam posted a description of a really interesting report he'd built to use Adobe Analytics data. Quantifying Content Velocity is a really great approach to understanding how quickly different types of content get in front of an audience. I love this view because you can clearly see how quickly your content finds an audience. Some content will be taken up really quickly, spreading around the Internet like a virus: "news" type content, or something that manages to hit the Zeitgeist and become a viral hit. Other content takes time to build an audience and become an established resource for whatever it's talking about: long-tail SEO content that gets more traffic over time. Adam's approach is a bit clunky in a few ways so it got me thinking about how we'd build something similar to use Snowplow data. There's a couple of problems I have with the Adobe approach that I'd like to improve upon. The first problem is a long-term problem I've had with Adobe Analytics. The time a particular event is recorded isn't available as an explicit dimension in Adobe Analytics. This problem has been around forever with Adobe and before that Omniture. Apparently these dimensions are available in Analytics Workspace, but not in the rest of the platform. There are a bunch of ways you can use a timestamp dimension. You can build a time-of-day report to look at when users are visiting: hour of day, day of week etc. The only way to do this is to use an old hack, I'm not sure if it was Adam or Ben who originally came up with it, that pushes the day part you're interested in into a dimension for later use. There's two problems with this: every day part you want consumes a custom dimension (props and eVars) and it relies on the clients having an accurate clock. I'm sorry, but clients don't have accurate clocks in the real world! I've seen the clock thing at scale with large companies and the client clocks can be miles out. A quick query of our own site shows a few, but I know from querying much larger sites that this is very common. In real-world examples I've seen clocks that are years wrong, in both directions. You can see in this query that we're taking advantage of some of the many timestamp fields Snowplow records, so this will be handling any issues with queuing of events to send later. See this post for more information about the timestamp fields. For the record, Google Analytics has a pretty good set of time-based dimensions that you can use for this and not consume custom dimensions. Another problem with Adam's approach is that it's kinda clunky. I'm sure that with a bit of work you could automate this and make it a bit neater but it's very manual. Snowplow has the advantage of being able to use the very expressive SQL query language and then push the result into whatever visualisation tool you want to use. With a somewhat complex SQL query we can actually work out the publish date for a piece of content automatically by looking for the first time we see Snowplow data for it. To make this truly accurate though, we need to filter out any hits that come in while the author is working on the piece but prior to publishing. We can take advantage of the user_internal column I created in the blog post on data modelling users. Here's an example of a simple time parting report showing the day of the week people consume our content. You can see we're pretty popular on weekdays and less so on weekends. I was a bit daunted by the query I needed to make here so I turned to the ever-reliable Jethro to recreate Adam's report in SQL. Working together we came up with this query. It contains two nested SELECTstatements to find the first instance of a particular URL being seen to work out the publish date, then calculates a value for how long the individual pageview event is after the publish date. From here I was able to create a nice line chart in Tableau by using velocity_bucket as the X axis. This is a very expensive query, going through every pageview row in the database to find the first instance of the URL. Rather than calculate this every time you run the report, you could merge it into the data model for each pageview. The approach of using the first pageview to signify publishing is also problematic unless you very carefully exclude all pageviews while the content is being written and edited. A better approach would be to derive the publish date from the CMS metadata, along with other metadata about each article. You'd then make this available within the pageviews view I created in the final part of the data modelling blog series. | 2019-04-20T15:12:25Z | null | {

Folk medicine is a cultural practice that derives from a basic human need to heal and regenerate. In Mississippi the three main cultural pathways of folk medicine come from Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans. Members of each group acquired botanical knowledge from intergenerational contact with their elders. Beginning with an initial study of nature and proceeding to the transference of knowledge through oral traditions and into modern-day usage of folk medicine via written recipes, Mississippians have relied on each other for health care. The migration of folk medicine among Mississippians occurred slowly and through necessity. White explorers valued Native Americans' medicinal knowledge as well as enslaved Africans' skills in faunal knowledge that kept both the planter class and the enslaved community healthy. Folk medicine was administered as decoctions (an extraction of plant essence through boiling), elixirs or tinctures (infusions of plant matter in grain alcohol ointments of liniment containing animal fat), or infusions of plant matter or teas (simple plant matter with water). In addition, each cultural group believed that the quality of the medicinal product rested on a host of planetary configurations. Harvesting plant matter during a full moon or making an elixir under a waning moon either enhanced or depleted the remedy. By the end of the nineteenth century, a shift occurred in public opinions regarding religion and medicine, and many Mississippians started to view folk medicine with suspicion and disdain. For example, the folk medicine ways of enslaved Africans once utilized by whites were now perceived as evidence of "African savagery." Folk medicine became synonymous with superstitions and "backward thinking," while medical physicians were becoming more respected. Nonetheless, many whites, enslaved Africans, and Native Americans lacked access to physicians and continued to rely on folk medicine, especially in the area of midwifery, well into the twentieth century and on into the twenty-first. Modernity brought with it the desire for consistent efficaciousness that skeptics of folk medicine claimed was impossible to obtain. | 2019-04-21T04:49:24Z | null | {

A career in the mental health field usually requires education and training. Those who have a career in the mental health field often spend their time talking to patients, who often suffer from mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction, behavioral disorders or family problems. The field has rapidly expanded in the last century, and research on brain functioning and behavior continues to advance. Psychiatrists specialize in the medical aspects of mental health and mental disorders, which requires that they undergo extensive education. Most psychiatrists have at least a bachelor's degree and medical doctorate degree, in addition to a residency for at least four years. Once these requirements have been completed, they must pass the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology's license examination. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for psychiatrists in 0000 was $000,000. Psychologists must also be familiar with the science of mental health and mental disorders; however, they tend to focus on "individual behavior and, specifically, in the beliefs and feelings that influence a person's actions." They are often self-employed. Most of their practice revolves around individual meetings with clients, although they also undergo extensive research and schooling. In order to become certified, psychologists must complete a master's or doctoral degree program, as well as pass a certification exam. The 0000 average annual salary for psychologists was $00,000. Social workers usually work in health care organizations or social assistance businesses, as well as government organizations. There are a variety of specialized areas available to social workers, such as family and child social worker careers, substance abuse social work careers and medical social work. A bachelor's degree in social work or a related subject may be sufficient for entry-level positions. More advanced degrees such as master's degrees or doctoral degrees will be needed for higher positions. Social workers must also be licensed before they can work professionally. The 0000 average annual salary for social workers was $00,000. Crawford, Nicole.

A 00-year-old woman named Teresa Gamage was the front passenger in a vehicle that was stopped at a red light intersection in Beverly Hills, California. Another driver hit Gamage's car from behind at a low speed rate. It did not result to any major damage to Gamage's car. Right after the incident, Gamage sought immediate treatment for the pain she experienced. The MRI scan showed that she had a degenerative disease with a 0-0mm disc bulge on her spinal cord. Gamage then underwent conservative treatment that includes physical therapy as well as epidural injections. However, the treatments did not manage to ease the victim's pain. It was determined then that a C0-0 fusion surgery was needed. Due to the low impact collision, Teresa Gamage experienced back pains, which turned out to be a degenerative disease. In order to stop the disease and ease the victim's back pain, she needed to undergo surgery. However, Gamage did not undergo the procedure because she could not afford it. The trial between Gamage and the defendant driver carried on. The defendant admitted her neglect but she questioned the legitimacy of Gamage's medical bills. She argued that the collision did not cause the victim's injuries. The jury ruled the case in favor of the victim. They awarded her with $0.0 million for her medical expenses as well as her surgery. Gamage's attorneys said that the compensation was fair because the money will guarantee that their client will be compensated for the rest of her life. Cases like these do not have to go to a lengthy trial but the unfairness of the defendant's insurance company led the victim's legal team to push the case to the higher courts. This case is an example of a legal battle that is financially draining as well as time consuming . Many litigation funding companies such as Pegasus Legal Funding LLC aims to help victims like Teresa Gamage to continue to fight for their rights.

When asked if she misses the former housemates, She said she doesn't because they always see at different times, but said she can never be friends with one person which is Leo, because he is a snake. She said "Myself and Leo can never be friends. I don't like snakes. I'm allergic to them. I would love to have a conversation with him for the last time only if he is ready to accept his mistake and apologize for it" BBA news is suffocating . Na another rounds of wahala this organisers wan start so? Leo are you truly a snake??? I like the fact that she is very vocal. well, this snake is hella fine. So you were saying, Khloe? i wont be surprised if all the drama was orchestrated by the organizers. the organizers just want to cash out using these people. everything screams fake. the show was supposed to be fun and entertaining instead so much bitterness, envy, gossips, wickedness, name calling, enemity is all it portrays. one would expect that after the show they will drop all that madness and be fine, after all it's just a game but no. I agree with you. Everyone had something to say to keep us talking . I totally agree with you. Right now, it is draining and uninteresting. In my opinion Khloe is a drama queen. If I hadn't watched her on bbnaija show I would have believed her. She had a serious crush on Leo, tried to frustrate Alex when she Alex was paired with leo. Denied not knowing Tobi before entering the bbn house, and betrayed her paired partner which is kbrule. Had a second chance to be in the house to repair her image only for her to divide the house by bringing so much bad energy. Ahh I give up on her. She sure has some issues with herself.. Funny how you (Khloe) with an utterly disgusting attitude could spot a snake. Untop that demand an apology, for what naa.. I don't like Leo either but Koko let someone else talk not you mbok.. Abeggi trying to create drama for the producers,since no more drama btw cee cee n Alex. I bet ya i wont n anything serious. Khloe is just one razz and local woman! Never liked her even for a second back in the house!! Her hatred for Leo is because, the guy chose Alex over her. Thank you For saying the truth. Everyone advertise their biz during the introduction ,is Leo that is your problem. Khloe needs to learn to control her emotion ,I remember she once try to shade Annie idibia when she came back from the house,the smart ones were able to decode on her page, she quickly deleted it. Even if he is a snake must you call him out on social media? And I could remember Leo saying some of the ex housemate might want to lash out with the platform to trend. She is forming she is friend with all the housemate. If Leo is a Snake then what is She? Python.. KHLOE U ARE THE SNAKE 🐍 U WERE TWO FACED THROUGH OUT THE SHOW U HAD A CRUSH ON LEO AND COS HE DIDN'T GIVE U THE ATTENTION U CALL HIM A SNAKE ABEG HIDE YOUR UGLY FACE .. | 2019-04-22T12:01:21Z | null | {

Approximately one year ago I had the great fortune to chat with celeb hair guru George Papanikolas about his work at the famous Chris McMillan Salon. A side note to that conversation, he told me he was doing the color and style for Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly. Honestly I had never seen the show before and decided to go and watch previous episodes to catch a glimpse of Minka's hair color. You guessed it, I got totally addicted to the show. Yes, Minka's hair color knocked my socks off, no surprise because George did the color, but I loved her work on the show. Actually I loved the show. OK, OK....it's set in Texas and that helps, but seriously the acting rocks. Minka is amazing in the role. Of course it doesn't hurt that she has eye popping, mouth dropping hair color courtesy of George. As reported today on Retailing.com by Allison Cerra, Paul Frank Industries (Julius, Sheree (my fav), Clancy, WorryBear and lots of cool products) announced a licensing agreement with American Greetings, giving the greeting card manufacturer access to the global fashion brand's extensive design portfolio for use in new social expression products. (Image of Paul Frank Industries window display at famous Kitson's in LA - HBM Media - All Rights Reserved). The new partnership will include a wide range of greeting cards, gift packaging, stickers and party goods featuring the modern design sensibility and whimsical humor of Paul Frank including Julius, the iconic monkey, and the brand's 000+ colorful characters. On Saturday, May 0rd, 0000 at approximately 0:00 am I received a phone call from my long time friend, Hair Maestro Ken Paves, who asked me if I could come see him off in his gorgeous black Ferrari in the Rally For Kids With Cancer Race. (Image of L-R - Karen Marie Shelton - HairBoutique.com CEO and Ken Paves - Hair Maestro - CEO of Ken Paves - at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on May 0, 0000 - Rally For Kids With Cancer - Hosted by Honorary Rally Chair - Eva Longoria Parker - Photo by Edan Kencayd - HairBoutique.com - All Rights Reserved). The actual race was scheduled to start at noon from the back parking lot of the famous Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. Ken, his wonderful mother Helen and Ken's navigator. Driver Dan, were all hanging out at the pre-Rally brunch upstairs on the second floor of the hotel. Driving as fast as I could, I made it to the Roosevelt Hotel in time to see the various celebrities who had graciously committed their time to drive in the Rally to raise money for Kids With Cancer. A few years ago I had the great good fortune to meet celebrity hairdresser Janine Jarman who was in the process of opening the Hairroin Salon. At the time I did an interview with Janine and I was so incredibly impressed with the vivacious hairdresser who was bursting with energy and amazing creativity. (Image of Pauley Perrette and Clint Catalyst at Hairroin Dark Sparkle Black Carpet Event, April 00, 0000 to support Los Angeles Youth Network - Photo Karen Marie Shelton - HairBoutique.com - All Rights Reserved). Janine had already broken out of her hairdresser role to be a celebrity hairstylest, doing tons of photo shoots with a variety of celebs and coiffing The Pussycat Dolls, Robin Antin and a whole list of other well-known stars. My friendship with celebrity hairdresser Ken Paves is about to enter its eight year of life. Although Ken and I always stay in touch, sometimes it's hard to catch up with him because he is so busy that even his staff has a hard time tracking him. Now that's not a bad thing, especially for all the lucky celebrities and regular hair clients that get to sit in his chair.

Somehow the Gods of Fortune smiled on me recently. Ken was going to be in one location for more than a few hours, a rare event, and invited me to come and hang out with him at his Beverly Hills location. Of course hanging out with Ken Paves means doing hair. Lots and lots of of non-stop hair. It is an amazing journey that I would crawl over broken glass to experience. | 2019-04-25T15:43:20Z | null | {

It was conceded that the lunch counter operations would probably come within the coverage of the Civil Rights Act of 0000, which was passed subsequent to the convictions and the affirmances thereof in the state courts. 0.

Pp. 000 U. S. 000-000. (b) Though these were state convictions, their abatement is likewise required not only under the Supremacy Clause, and because the pending convictions are contrary to the legislative purpose of the Act, but also because abatement is a necessary part of every statute which repeals criminal legislation. Pp. 000 U. S. 000-000. 000 S.C. 000, 000 S.E.0d 000; 000 Ark. 000, 000 S.W.0d 000, judgments vacated and charges ordered dismissed. These are "sit-in" cases that came here from the highest courts of South Carolina and Arkansas, respectively. Each of those courts affirmed convictions based upon state trespass statutes against petitioners, who are Negroes, for participating in "sit-in" demonstrations in the luncheon facilities of retail stores in their respective States. We granted certiorari in each of the cases, 000 U.S. 000, 000, and consolidated them for argument. The petitioners asserted both in the state courts and here the denial of rights, privileges, and immunities secured by the Fourteenth Amendment; in addition, they claim here that the Civil Rights Act of 0000, 00 Stat. 000, passed subsequent to their convictions and the affirmances thereof in the state courts, abated these actions. or to refuse to leave immediately after having entered therein. Petitioner's companion died subsequently. The conviction of petitioner was affirmed by both the Court of General Sessions and the Supreme Court of South Carolina, 000 S.C. 000, 000 S.E.0d 000 (0000). Lupper v. Arkansas, No. 0, involves a group of Negroes who entered the department store of Gus Blass Company in Little Rock. The group went to the mezzanine tea room of the store at the busy luncheon hour, seated themselves, and requested service which was refused. Within a few minutes, the group, including petitioners, was advised that Blass reserved the right to refuse service to anyone, and was not prepared to serve them at that time. Upon being requested to leave, the petitioners refused. The police officers who were summoned located petitioners on the first floor of the store and arrested them. The officers' testimony that petitioners admitted the whole affair was denied. The prosecutions in the Little Rock Municipal Court resulted in convictions of petitioners based upon § 00-0000, Ark.Stat.Ann. (0000 Repl. Vol.), which prohibits a person from remaining on the premises of a business establishment after having been requested to leave by the owner or manager thereof. On appeal to the Pulaski Circuit Court, a trial de novo resulted in verdicts of guilty, and the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed, 000 Ark. 000, 000 S.W.0d 000 (0000), sub nom. Briggs v. State. We hold that the convictions must be vacated and the prosecutions dismissed. The Civil Rights Act of 0000 forbids discrimination in places of public accommodation, and removes peaceful attempts to be served on an equal basis from the category of punishable activities. Although the conduct in the present cases occurred prior to enactment of the Act, the still-pending convictions are abated by its passage. lunch counter operation "probably would" come under the Act. Finally, neither respondent asks for a remand to determine the facts as to coverage of the respective lunch counters. [Footnote 0] In the light of such a record and the legislative history indicating that Congress intended to cover retail store lunch counters, see 000 Cong.Rec. 0000-0000, we hold that the Act covers both the McCrory and the Blass lunch counter operations. 0. The Provisions of the Act. Under the Civil Rights Act, petitioners' conduct could not be the subject of trespass prosecutions, federal or state, if it had occurred after the enactment of the statute. "[a]ll persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation," privilege secured by section 000 or 000, or (c) punish or attempt to punish any person for exercising or attempting to exercise any right or privilege secured by section 000 or 000." "This plainly means that a defendant in a criminal trespass, breach of the peace, or other similar case can assert the rights created by 000 and 000, and that State Courts must entertain defenses grounded upon these provisions. . . ." federal law and the application of an otherwise valid state enactment, Hill v. Florida, 000 U. S. 000 (0000). There can be no question that this was the intended result here in light of § 000(c). The present convictions and the command of the Civil Rights Act of 0000 are clearly in direct conflict. The only remaining question is the effect of the Act on judgments rendered, but not finalized, before its passage. 0. Effect of the Act upon the Prosecutions. Last Term, in Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000, we noted the existence of a body of federal and state law to the effect that convictions on direct review at the time the conduct in question is rendered no longer unlawful by statute, must abate. We consider first the effect the Civil Rights Act would have on petitioners' convictions if they had been federal convictions, and then the import of the fact that these are state, and not federal, convictions. We think it is clear that the convictions, if federal, would abate. be necessary to set aside a judgment, rightful when rendered, but which cannot be affirmed but in violation of law, the judgment must be set aside." "Prosecution for crimes is but an application or enforcement of the law, and, if the prosecution continues, the law must continue to vivify it." 000 U. S. 000 U.S. 000 at 000 U. S. 000. Although Chambers specifically left open the question of the effect of its rule on cases where final judgment was rendered prior to ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment and petition for certiorari sought thereafter, such an extension of the rule was taken for granted in the per curiam decision in Massey v. United States, supra, handed down shortly after Chambers. applicable as part of the background against which Congress acts. Thus, we deem it irrelevant that Congress made no allusion to the problem in enacting the Civil Rights Act. Nor do we believe that the provisions of the federal saving statute, 00 Stat. 000, 0 U.S.C. § 000 (0000 ed.), would nullify abatement of a federal conviction. In Chambers, a case where the cause for punishment was removed by a repeal of the constitutional basis for the punitive statute, the Court was quite certain as to this. See 000 U.S. at 000 U. S. 000 and n. 0, involving the identical statute. The federal saving statute was originally enacted in 0000, 00 Stat. 000. It was meant to obviate mere technical abatement such as that illustrated by the application of the rule in Tynen, decided in 0000. There, a substitution of a new statute with a greater schedule of penalties was held to abate the previous prosecution. In contrast, the Civil Rights Act works no such technical abatement. It substitutes a right for a crime. So drastic a change is well beyond the narrow language of amendment and repeal. It is clear therefore that, if the convictions were under a federal statute, they would be abated. the mill" repealer. Since the provisions of the Act would abate all federal prosecutions, it follows that the same rule must prevail under the Supremacy Clause, which requires that a contrary state practice or state statute must give way. Here, the Act intervened before either of the judgments under attack was finalized. Just as in federal cases, abatement must follow in these state prosecutions. Rather than a retroactive intrusion into state criminal law, this is but the application of a longstanding federal rule, namely, that, since the Civil Rights Act substitutes a right for a crime any state statute or its application to the contrary must, by virtue of the Supremacy Clause, give way under the normal abatement rule covering pending convictions arising out of a preenactment activity. The great purpose of the civil rights legislation was to obliterate the effect of a distressing chapter of our history. This demands no less than the application of a normal rule of statutory construction to strike down pending convictions inconsistent with the purposes of the Act. Far from finding a bar to the application of the rule where a state statute is involved, we find that our construction of the effect of the Civil Rights Act is more than statutory. It is required by the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. See Kesler v. Department of Safety, 000 U. S. 000, 000 U. S. 000 (0000); Hill v. Florida, 000 U. S. 000 (0000). Future state prosecutions under the Act being unconstitutional, and there being no saving clause in the Act itself, convictions for preenactment violations would be equally unconstitutional, and abatement necessarily follows. of a principle since embodied in the law of the land. The convictions were based on the theory that the rights of a property owner had been violated. However, the supposed right to discriminate on the basis of race, at least in covered establishments, was nullified by the statute. Under such circumstances, the actionable nature of the acts in question must be viewed in the light of the statute and its legislative purpose. We find yet another reason for applying the Chambers rule of construction. In our view, Congress clearly had the power to extend immunity to pending prosecutions. Some might say that to permit these convictions to stand would have no effect on interstate commerce, which we have held justified the adoption of the Act. But, even if this be true, the principle of abatement is so firmly imbedded in our jurisprudence as to be a necessary and proper part of every statute working a repealer of criminal legislation. Where Congress sets out to regulate a situation within its power, the Constitution affords it a wide choice of remedies. This being true, the only question remaining is whether Congress exercised its power in the Act to abate the prosecutions here. If we held that it did not, we would then have to pass on the constitutional question of whether the Fourteenth Amendment, without the benefit of the Civil Rights Act, operates of its own force to bar criminal trespass convictions where, as here, they are used to enforce a pattern of racial discrimination. As we have noted, some of the Justices joining this opinion believe that the Fourteenth Amendment does so operate; others are of the contrary opinion. Since this point is not free from doubt, and since as we have found Congress has ample power to extend the statute to pending convictions, we avoid that question by favoring an interpretation of the statute which renders a constitutional decision unnecessary. In short, now that Congress has exercised its constitutional power in enacting the Civil Rights Act of 0000 and declared that the public policy of our country is to prohibit discrimination in public accommodations as therein defined, there is no public interest to be served in the further prosecution of the petitioners. And, in accordance with the long established rule of our cases, they must be abated, and the judgment in each is therefore vacated, and the charges are ordered dismissed. * Together with No. 0, @Lupper et al. v. Arkansas, on certiorari to the Supreme Court of Arkansas. "(b) Each of the following establishments which serves the public is a place of public accommodation within the meaning of this title if its operations affect commerce . . ." "(0) any restaurant, cafeteria, lunchroom, lunch counter, soda fountain, or other facility principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises, including, but not limited to, any such facility located on the premises of any retail establishment . . ." "(c) The operations of an establishment affect commerce within the meaning of this title if . . . it serves or offers to serve interstate travelers. . . ." In Lupper, the State's brief says, "a remand of these cases would not reap any . . . benefits." At 00. Some of us believe that the substantive rights granted by the Act here, i.e., freedom from discrimination in places of public accommodation, are also included in the guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment, see concurring opinions in Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000; others take the position that the Amendment creates no such substantive rights, see dissenting opinion in Bell v. Maryland,supra. No such question is involved here, and we do not pass upon it in any manner. We deal only with the statutory rights created in the Act. In Bell v. Maryland, supra, we dealt with the problem arising when a state enactment intervened prior to the finalizing of state criminal trespass convictions. Because we were dealing with the effect of a state statute on a state conviction prior to the Act's passage, we felt that the state courts should be allowed to pass on the question. Here we have an intervening federal statute, and, in attempting to judge its effect on a state conviction, we are faced with a federal, not a state, question. Because of this distinction, we do not feel that remand is required or desirable. MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, whom MR. JUSTICE GOLDBERG joins, concurring. right, albeit prior to the enactment of the present legislation, and that this Court should not put its imprimatur on such state prosecutions, whenever they arose. The Civil Rights Act of 0000, validly, I think, [Footnote 0/0] made it unlawful for certain restaurants thereafter to refuse to serve food to colored people because of their color. The Court now interprets the Act as a command making it unlawful for the States to prosecute and convict "sit-in" demonstrators who had violated valid state trespass laws prior to passage of the federal Act. The idea that Congress has power to accomplish such a result has no precedent, so far as I know, in the nearly 000 years that Congress has been in existence. out of the streets and restaurants and into the courts, which Congress has granted power to provide an adequate and orderly judicial remedy. "The repeal of any statute shall not have the effect to release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under such statute unless the repealing Act shall so expressly provide, and such statute shall be treated as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such penalty, forfeiture, or liability. . . ." States, 000 U. S. 000; United States v. Reisinger, 000 U. S. 000; United States v. Ulrici, 0 Dillon 000, 00 Fed.Cas. 000 (No. 00,000) (C.C.E.D.Mo.) (opinion of Mr. Justice Miller on circuit), and, by any fair reading, it is broad enough to wipe out any and every application of the common law rule which it was designed to do away with, unless judge-made rules of construction have some sort of superiority over congressionally enacted statutes. [Footnote 0/0] In United States v. Chambers, 000 U. S. 000, and Massey v. United States, 000 U. S. 000, the only cases which the Court cites as authority for disregarding the federal saving statute, this Court made clear that the saving statute was not involved in any way, since the abatement there was by force of the Twenty-first Amendment, and, of course, an amendment to the Constitution supersedes an Act of Congress. See 000 U.S. at 000 U. S. 000-000. By today's discovery of a "long established rule of our cases," the Court has now put back on Congress the burden of spelling out expressly, statute by statute, in laws passed hereafter that it does not want to upset convictions for past crimes, a burden which Congress renounced nearly 000 years ago, and which it did not know it had when it passed the 0000 Act. Court judicially declares that "there is no public interest to be served" in upholding the convictions of these trespassers, a conclusion of policy which I had thought was only for legislative bodies to decide. See Ferguson v. Skrupa, 000 U. S. 000. "To interfere with the penal laws of a State, where they are not leveled against the legitimate powers of the Union, but have for their sole object the internal government of the country, is a very serious measure which Congress cannot be supposed to adopt lightly, or inconsiderately. The motives for it must be serious and weighty. It would be taken deliberately, and the intention would be clearly and unequivocally expressed." "An act, such as that under consideration ought not, we think, to be so construed as to imply this intention unless its provisions were such as to render the construction inevitable." volumes weighing well over half a hundred pounds, in which every conceivable aspect and application of the 0000 Act were discussed ad infinitum, not even once did a single sponsor, proponent. or opponent of the Act intimate a hope or express a fear that the Act was intended to have the effect which the Court gives it today. See my concurring opinion in Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States, ante, p. 000 U. S. 000. Sections 000-000, 00 Stat. 000-000, 00 U.S.C. §§ 0000a to 0000a-0 (0000 ed.). "The federal saving statute was originally enacted in 0000, 00 Stat. 000. It was meant to obviate mere technical abatement such as that illustrated by the application of the rule in Tynen, decided in 0000. There, a substitution of a new statute with a greater schedule of penalties was held to abate the previous prosecution." Ante, p. 000 U. S. 000. There is no support for this statement in the language of the statute, in its legislative history, or in subsequent decisions under it. The Court holds that these state trespass convictions, occurring before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 0000, must be set aside by virtue of the federal doctrine of criminal abatement. This remarkable conclusion finds no support in reason or authority. "By the repeal of the 00th section of the act of 0000, all criminal proceedings taken under it fell. There can be no legal conviction, nor any valid judgment pronounced upon conviction, unless the law creating the offence be at the time in existence. By the repeal, the legislative will is expressed that no further proceedings be had under the act repealed." The doctrine has its origins in the English common law, see, e.g., Rex v. Cator, 0 Burr. 0000, 00 Eng.Rep. 00; King v. Davis, 0 Leach Crown Cases 000 (0d ed), 000 Eng.Rep. 000, and has been embraced in American state and federal jurisprudence. I know of no case which suggests that the doctrine of abatement can be applied to affect the existing legislation of another jurisdiction. Until today the doctrine has always been applied only with respect to legislation of the same sovereignty, e.g., Rex v. Cator, supra; King v. Davis, supra; United States v. Tynen, supra; 0 U. S. United States, 0 Cranch 000. And all of the cases relied on by the Court are of that character. The Supremacy Clause cannot serve as a vehicle for extending the federal doctrine of abatement beyond proper bounds. That provision of the Constitution would come into play only if it appeared from the Civil Rights Act itself or from its legislative history and setting that Congress' purpose was to displace past, as well as prospective, applications of state laws touching upon the matters with which the federal statute is concerned. For me, this would have to be made to appear in unmistakable terms, for such a purpose would represent an exercise of federal legislative power wholly unprecedented in our history. of this Act, or any provision thereof." Whether or not state trespass laws as applied to "racial trespasses" occurring after the effective date of the Civil Rights Act are to be deemed inconsistent with the provisions of § 000(c) of the Act, [Footnote 0/0] a question which I find unnecessary to decide at this juncture, there is certainly no such plain inconsistency between § 000(c) and state trespass laws as applied in those situations arising before the passage of the Civil Rights Act as would justify this Court's attributing to Congress a purpose to preempt state law in such instances. Moreover, the contrary conclusion would confront us with constitutional questions of the gravest import, for the legislative record is barren of any evidence showing that giving effect to past state trespass convictions would result in placing any burden on present interstate commerce. [Footnote 0/0] Such evidence, at the very least, would be a prerequisite to the validity of any purported exercise of the Commerce power in this regard. See Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States, ante, p. 000 U. S. 000; Katzenbach v. McClung, 000 U. S. 000. There is, indeed, nothing to indicate that Congress even adverted to such a question. Finally, the Court's decision cannot be justified under the rule of avoidance of constitutional questions, see Court's opinion, ante, p. 000 U. S. 000. That rule does not reach to the extent of enabling this Court to fabricate nonconstitutional grounds of decision out of whole cloth. be pressed to the point of disingenuous evasion." Concluding that these trespass convictions are not abated, I would affirm the judgments in both of these cases for the reasons given by MR. JUSTICE Black in his dissenting opinion in Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000, 000 U. S. 000, in which I joined. "The repeal of any statute shall not have the effect to release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under such statute unless the repealing Act shall so expressly provide, and such statute shall be treated as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such penalty, forfeiture, or liability. The expiration of a temporary statute shall not have the effect to release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under such statute unless the temporary statute shall so expressly provide, and such statute shall be treated as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such penalty, forfeiture, or liability." I accept the Court's conclusion that this section has no application here, but only because there has been no repeal or amendment of an existing federal statute. Arkansas, for example, has a saving clause, Ark.Stat.Ann. §§ 0-000, 0-000, similar to 0 U.S.C. § 000, which expresses a state policy to save the conviction of Lupper. See Mack v. Connor, 000 Ga. 000, 000 S.E.0d 000 (Ga.Sup.Ct.0000). Cf. Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000, conviction affirmed on remand, 000 Md. 000, 000 A.0d 00; rehearing granted and argument deferred "awaiting the outcome of similar issues now pending before the United States Supreme Court," quite obviously referring to these cases. See Cohens v. Virginia, 0 Wheat. 000, 00 U. S. 000, quoted in my Brother BLACK's opinion, ante, p. 000 U. S. 000. Quoted in the Court's opinion, ante, pp. 000 U. S. 000-000. No attempt is made by the Court to justify the retroactive application of the Civil Rights Act under the Fourteenth Amendment. See also International Association of Machinists v. Street, 000 U. S. 000, 000 U. S. 000 (Frankfurter, J., dissenting). The chief difference between these cases and Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000, is that here federal, rather than state, legislation has intervened while the convictions were under review. As I understand the Court's opinion, it first asserts that, if these had been federal convictions, the passage of the Civil Rights Act would have abated them under principles of federal decisional law. It then proceeds to apply those asserted principles to these state convictions through the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. If I thought that Congress had provided that such nonfinal state convictions are to be abated, I would find no constitutional difficulty in joining the Court's disposition of these cases under the Supremacy Clause. But Congress was silent on the subject, and I am unable to subscribe to the Court's reasoning. In Bell v. Maryland, we said that a State's abatement policy was for the State to determine. Arkansas and South Carolina might hold that this supervening federal legislation provides a compelling reason to abate these proceedings, but I can find nothing in the legislation or in the Constitution which requires these States to do so. Arkansas and South Carolina is no clearer. Like Maryland, Arkansas has a saving statute similar to the federal counterpart. And like Maryland, South Carolina apparently has a policy favoring abatement when state criminal statutes are repealed while prosecutions are pending. See State v. Spencer, 000 S.C. 000, 000 S.E. 000. For the reasons stated in the Court's opinion in Bell v. Maryland, I would vacate the judgments and remand the cases to the state courts for reconsideration in the light of the supervening federal legislation. Absent the Civil Rights Act, there was, in my view, no constitutional infirmity in the state court convictions. Bell v. Maryland, 000 U. S. 000, 000 U. S. 000 (dissenting opinion of MR. JUSTICE BLACK). And if Congress had the power to abate these convictions, I am confident it had no intent of exercising it by passing the new law. There is nothing but silence to indicate that Congress meant to void outstanding judgments of state courts. I would not, for several reasons, read so much into nothing as the Court attempts to do. seems to me to point to the conclusion exactly opposite to that reached by the Court. Finally, had Congress intended to ratify massive disobedience to the law, so often attended by violence, I feel sure it would have said so in unmistakable language. The truth is that it is only judicial rhetoric to blame this result upon Congress. Given a discernable congressional decision, I would be happy to follow it, as it is our task to do, absent constitutional limitations. But, without it, we have another case. Whether persons or groups should engage in nonviolent disobedience to laws with which they disagree perhaps defies any categorical answer for the guidance of every individual in every circumstance. But whether a court should give it wholesale sanction is a wholly different question which calls for only one answer. | 2019-04-21T07:15:42Z | null | {

00 - And if they broke their oaths after their covenant and defamed your religion, then fight the leaders of kufr - surely, they have no oaths - that they may cease. عن عمار ، عن أبي عبدالله ( عليه السلام ) قال : من طعن في دينكم هذا فقد كفر قال الله تعالى : ( وطعنوا في دينكم فقاتلوا أئمة الكفر ـ إلى قوله : ـ ينتهون ) . [Tafsir al-`Ayyashi] From `Ammar from Abu `Abdillah عليه السلام. He said: Whoever defames this religion of yours, then he has become a kafir. Allah تعالى said "and defamed your religion so fight the leaders of kufr" until His saying "cease". | 2019-04-19T06:27:06Z | null | {

Yes, today is the day! Will it be my day? Yes... In my dream ba... Hahahahhahaha... Never I think myself of winning big money! The most free gift I got from stranger was my pocket size Canon. Well, at least I tried. Yesterday I went to see my mom. She was not feeling well. Just hope that she will get better day by day and be strong like a tiger as she used to. Tonight I'll be having dinner w my hubby, his cousin n wife, and his friend n his friend's girlfriend. It's bbq mixed steamboat at Geylang. Expected to be very crowded as today is Friday. Tomorrow I'll be fetching my son for course like usual and Sunday afternoon will go for my colleague's housewarming. Haiz... Hope I have time to take a rest as well.. Well, that's for today. If tonight I won the 00m, all the plans I wrote here maybe change with handing a resignation letter next Monday without a need to serve notice, then go to the airport to fly to Europe booked at NATAS EXPO tomorrow, etc etc... Hahahahahahaha... Have a great weekend! Happy belated Chinese New Year!!! Wish all of you have a good health, luck, and prosperity all year long!! Don't worry.. If we all have a fate, we'll all meet together again someday, somewhere... OK? | 2019-04-24T19:51:38Z | null | {

Last week we introduced you to the wonderful Holly Ounstead and our Wardrobe Detox. With Holly's expert help and style know-how we'll be spending the next four weeks clearing out and detoxing our wardrobe. The result? A streamlined, sophisticated look that expresses who we are while doing the planet a whole lot of good. We can't wait. AIM. Creating a conscious closet involves cultivating a functional wardrobe. Re-examine your closet to align with your personal style. HOMEWORK. Set aside a couple of hours this week to follow this step-by-step guide. TOP TIP. Imagine your wardrobe as a whole collection, everything should make sense and work together seamlessly. When you've sorted out all the piles of clothes, hang pile one (your 'I love these items, they fit me well and I wear them a lot') straight back on your rail, this is your edited functional wardrobe. If you have the time to take this a step further, download THE STYLE APP and add a photograph of all the pieces in pile one into the App. This App is really useful for those of you that want a quick and easy tool to help put outfits together and to reference your wardrobe when out shopping. Take a look at pile two and go through it piece by piece. Ask yourself "why don't I wear this? Could it be the colour, the fit, or the fabric?" Jot down notes on these styles, for example; Red Straight Leg Trousers, I like the fit but not sure what I can wear it with. Pile two is most probably filled with impulse buys - pack it away neatly into a box and see how you get on during next week just wearing clothes from your now edited, functional wardrobe. Don't worry, we will come back to this pile in weeks 0 and 0. Anything in pile four that is damaged, but loved, should be taken into the tailors. "If we can extend the life of our clothing by a further nine months we would reduce carbon, waste and water footprints by around 00-00% each" The Fashion Revolution. Do this in the week and add it back into your edited wardrobe. Anything else from pile four should be put into the recycle/donate box. REPEAT THESE STEPS WITH YOUR SHOES AND ACCESSORIES. Ideally, you will be left with a selection of clothes and accessories that you love and actually wear. This is the basis of your future, functioning and sustainable wardrobe. Feel better already? Next week we will be looking at recycling and how to look after your clothes sustainably so hold onto those sorted piles of unwanted clothes and make sure you dispose of them sustainably. Join us next week to find out how to recycle, upcycle and maintain your clothes. | 2019-04-22T06:33:06Z | null | {

As readers will know, I'm fascinated by new industry models and the potential they hold for people and businesses. This week, I read an interesting World Economic Forum article on some of the expected sharing economy trends in 0000, and while I don't necessarily agree with them all, there were certainly some interesting points raised. Following on from a piece that I recently wrote for AMBA, (The Association of MBA's), I would like to expand on how professionals can harness the power of their network as the shared economy drives disruption. This week, I'm delighted to announce that, AnyGood? has been accepted as a member of Sharing Economy UK, the trade body committed to championing businesses that operate under a shared economy model. Find out what this for our 0000 plans and beyond in our latest blog. Reflections on 0000, was it AnyGood? 0000 has been a great year for AnyGood? The platform has gone from strength to strength, with increased growth and a vast amount of interest being generated in our work. This has been extremely encouraging and the rest of the team and myself will endeavour to make sure this continues into the New Year. As regular readers will know, I believe the recruitment industry has fallen way behind in terms of innovation and disruption, and is in need of real change. This change will require a whole new model which features aspects of the ‘sharing economy'. In this blog, I look at some of the key benefits that the sharing economy has to offer. As I've stated before, bad publicity is never far away from the recruitment sector and, unfortunately, another story has emerged which paints the industry in a bad light. New research has shown that a huge number of candidates are asked unjustified and potentially illegal questions during the recruitment process and at interview. As you may have realised, I'm passionate about turning recruitment and talent management into processes where the playing field is level for everyone. However, currently, this isn't the case. Last week, the Guardian released the results of a landmark study which identified examples of how racial bias is prevalent in numerous areas of our society. Bad publicity is never far away in the recruitment industry, and following the utterly cringe-worthy Haigh Associates video that I covered a few weeks back, a new story is working its way across tabloid media, titled ‘Badmouth recruitment boss has come under fire for being the rudest man in Britain'. The results of the 0000 Hampton-Alexander review of UK boardroom diversity are, in my view, unsurprising. According to the report, five FTSE companies have failed to appoint a female to their boards more than two years after the government ordered the UK's 000 biggest firms to ensure women held at least a third of boardroom positions by 0000. Reputation matters: How can we eliminate hiring biases? As you may have realised from my blogs, I'm passionate about the hiring of talent being an equitable process where it's a level playing field for all candidates. As next week is Transgender Awareness Week, I thought now would be a good time to discuss some of the biases preventing marginalised groups from getting a fair chance at employment. | 2019-04-25T06:27:30Z | null | {

Playbooks and checklists play an important role in planning and executing digital advocacy campaigns. These tend to be procedural. They ensure the right things happen in the right sequence to improve your chances of campaign success. What's been missing for those planning a digital advocacy campaign is the foundational requirements for a successful campaign. This is not about the procedures. This is about making sure your campaign resonates with the public and motivates some kind of action, whether a change in attitudes or behaviour. They should feed into the procedures that will follow. That's why I created the Digital Advocacy Hierarchy of Needs, a model that I presented this past week at the Canadian Medical Association's 0000 General Council. It's based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and incorporates the three pillars of my Triangle of IRE (for emotion marketing and crisis response). Emotion determines the popularity and reach of almost all online content these days. This is true of what gets attention and what motivates action. So, you don't just compete against other organizations in your field for attention (and action and dollars), you compete for attention with the news of the day (serious matters and the celebrity scandal-du-jour), memes and the latest cute animal video. Emotion becomes the platform on which the rest of your campaign will stand. Your campaign must make people feel a real emotion - happy, sad, anger, hope, fear. Know, also, that emotion is what will drive the reaction to your campaign - both from supporters and detractors. So, as part of your campaign procedures, make sure you do a Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) so you can be better prepared to respond to criticism. Information determines what makes the campaign necessary. This is the logical add-on to your emotional foundation. Your information should be compelling, accurate and concise. Few people have the patience (or interest) in all of the details. They need the straight goods with the key nuances (rather than all). It should be snappy and understandable, and can be delivered in text, images, videos or a combination thereof. Critics will also use information, likely incorporating some degree of misinformation or disinformation. These will be successful because critics will often torque their distortions using emotion. It's best to build the relationships you need when you don't need them so you have them when you do. The "if you build it, they will come" adage rarely works. Build community then harness it if and when necessary. That is a bigger discussion beyond the scope of this post. Relation here means that you've struck the right emotional chord and provided the right information so people can recognize you, your team and your campaign as credible and trustworthy. This can also be achieved (perhaps more easily) if your audience can relate to the situation. Perhaps they have experienced the referenced health problem or supported a loved one through theirs. Maybe their home was threatened by a developer. All of these will help build those relationships, depending on your campaign. It is also incumbent on the campaign to resource itself to build connections with potential supporters. That can be through specific outreach, or responding to those who comment or declare their support online. And don't rule out reaching out to people who are productive in their criticism or skepticism of the campaign. Their opinions may be moveable. The important thing to remember is that a one size fits all approach to your campaign may not be appropriate. If your campaign depends on support from multiple generations, multiple geographic regions and/or multiple demographics, you'll need to tailor your messaging and calls to action to each of those groups. Social media is perfect for that. If you're pursuing a government plan for seniors care, you might target seniors with one message (that people are looking out for them and that policy changes are needed), their children with a different message (geared toward helping them care for their aging parents and that they can influence policy changes) and another for grandchildren (that the issue of seniors care affects them because it affects their loved ones). That's where research, strategic communication and creating audience-specific sections on your campaign website is helpful (a playbook item). If your message is more informational and less action-driven, you might do what Procter & Gamble has done and move more of your budget to television where you're more likely to reach a broad spectrum, and couple it with some online efforts, paid and organic. No campaign is worthwhile without some form of action. Perhaps you want people to change their behaviour (encourage people to do breast self-exams, go to the skin doctor or register as a blood or organ donor) or influence public policy (get people to sign a petition, donate to a cause, write to their politician or volunteer to help the campaign) - I've provided some examples here. Actions should be accessible, simple and scalable. Many campaigns have proven that giving people a social media avatar overlay, encouraging them to create their own images, challenging them to shoot a video of themselves doing something crazy and challenging others, or being part of an effort to get a celebrity to do something is effective. However, it's been done. To stand out, and you want to stand out, you'll need to do something others haven't. Target and actual audience: building relationships and understanding who the people are. Critics: understanding the criticisms that may derail the campaign and responding to those who participate in a productive manner. Journalists: reaching out to those who report on the campaign in both positive and critical ways and following the comments sections of all media coverage. Decision-makers: understanding how companies, organizations and politicians are responding to the campaign and what you need to do to ensure success. Of course, you should also know how to measure and report on success. If behaviour or policy changes are what you're after, success should be easy to measure. | 2019-04-19T13:02:55Z | null | {

The 00-year-old rose to popularity when her two Manhattan vegan eateries - Lucky Duck restaurant and Pure Food & Wine - became foodie sensations in the city. She would later call the man a 'sociopath' after he disappeared with their eight-month-old son in 0000, but she still brought him on board as a manager in 0000. Melngailis and Strangis took money from investors, didn't pay $000,000 in taxes and spent more than $0million at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos, prosecutors say. What a mighty letdown twice. From successful business owner and author to prisoner and publicly known STD recipient thanks to that pig of a comedian. She's famous for her trim physique - and Victoria Beckham certainly works hard to maintain it. She has confessed she gets up between 0.00 and six in the morning to make time for the gym before the school run with children Romeo, 00, Cruz, 00, and Harper, seven. What's the point when she seems to drink like a fish. ^Im sorry but why would anyone think anyone would care one iota about what she does? Is this the start of a PR push for her alone? Lindsey Vonn may have competed in her last ski race on Sunday in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Vonn was planning on retiring in December but returned this weekend from her latest injury - to her left knee - but her best result in three races was ninth in Saturday's downhill. Vonn needs five more wins to break the all-time World Cup record of 00 victories held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark but that seems far from her mind now. She seems to relish the spotlight and yatching unfortunately. I was rooting for her to break the record but with her knees being so messed up, I can't see her continuing on sking to try and make history. Her teamate who won the race is the fuure of the sport and Lindsy should bow out now with some dignity. She's defenitely not a has-been as she's still in the mix with the younger skiers, but think now would be the best time to retire instead of racking up a string of losses and more injuries trying to continue on. She can't seem ot make up her mind about herself or her image; at this point in time it's unhealthy and it's not like she seems to understand that no one buys her super-mother persona and it's not like she seems to see the fact that her marriage is unraveling right in front of her face. Her husband is no longer bailing out her BS fashion 'house' and it's not like she has much of a marriage anymore. According to website TMZ, after telling staff that he had a bomb in his bag, the famous musician's son then hit a security guard at Terminal 0. Wow, but then again not too unexpected given his bizarre behavior. You can see why he is feted as one of the hardest-working performers in showbiz. But he is also known as one of the nicest. By way of contrast, meet his three children: Nicole, 00, Miles, 00, and Sofia, 00. Raised in incredible privilege, unlike their uncool father, they are stars of the reality TV and Instagram era. If it's in vogue they're into it. They are known for brattish behaviour, run-ins with the law, drug rehabilitation and questionable choices of romantic partner (Sofia has dated the troubled pop star Justin Bieber and her current boyfriend is reality TV star Scott Disick). Sadly, the luxurious upbringing Richie has give his children doesn't seem to have resulted in happy, contented offspring. His sister Nicole, meanwhile, has said she had too much, too young and turned to drugs just for a thrill. Yet a decade and a bit later, he is going through many similar challenges with Sofia. Asked about Miles recently, Lionel seemed to hope that a niche in fashion might help his troubled son. Miles's plans for 0000 include making his acting debut and releasing his own 'design collection' with a brand. He wants the designs to feature a lot of silk, and trousers with 'hand-lettered Japanese writing on'. Given those troubling events at Heathrow, he must be hoping his son will soon find his way back on to the right path. Sometimes the best thing would've been to not help them outof their troubles that are self inflicted. They're just vapid, narcarcistic thrill seekers who know daddy will bail them out. Nicole got lucky. I'm not so sure about these two; Sophia and Miles. The 00-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel and the 00-year-old self-help writer ended their relationship after a year and a half together, according to People. The relationship was documented primarily from the self-help guru's Instagram account. In late December, Turkish news outlets reported that the Brazilian model had broken up with her self-help boyfriend and was dating German soccer star Loris Karius. She responded forcefully on Instagram. Earlier in December, Adriana had posted a mysterious message saying a man should be a partner, not a project. She promptly deleted the post, as well as all her photos featuring Metin. She doesn't seem to have good luck with men. So very sad. Fly high and test in peace. Kim Porter, the model and former girlfriend of Diddy whose death sent shockwaves round the music industry in November, died from lobar pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia is a type of bacterial pneumonia which is often caused by the flu or a virus and affects one part of the lung. Such a shame as this seems to have been an easily preventable death. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, 00, was being tracked for two months around Los Angeles and was followed to hotels, restaurants and spin classes, according to a search warrant. The actress, from Oxfordshire, told police that the stalker has been calling her and her boyfriend and then hanging up. The warrant, obtained by TMZ, allegedly states that the woman stalking the former Doctor Who star lives on her street and would show up at her house. The stalker also took pictures of the actress, who has been awarded an MBE at Buckingham Palace for her services to drama. Mbatha-Raw then reported the stalker to the LAPD after the two-month ordeal and they found a GPS tracker underneath her car, according to TMZ. She grew up in Witney, Oxfordshire after being born in Oxford. She's the daughter of Patrick Mbatha, a South African doctor, and Anne Raw, an English nurse. A beautiful talented biracial actres without drama and narc personality. David Beckham has reportedly bailed out his wife's fashion brand again with a £00 million cash injection, according to the Mirror. The former England footballer, 00, has given Victoria's company a £0 million loan as well as £0.0 million in cash in order to keep her business afloat. David's handout comes after Victoria's business, which owes another of the Beckham's companys £00.0 million, filed £00 million in losses before Christmas for the year 0000. But experts believe Victoria, who is worth an estimated £000million, can expect to turn a profit in the 'medium term'. A spokesperson for Victoria has been contacted for comment. So much for him not bailing her out. ^There wasn't much doubt that he would satisfy any shortfall. Their businesses are undoubtedly combined legally to protect each other so he really had no choice. | 2019-04-26T00:16:35Z | null | {

Kitchens are important to your health. And to your house. Without one, where would you keep all your cooking utensils? Where would you actually do your cooking (if you can even say you do with all the takeout you order)? It's arguably one of the top 0 most important parts of your house, right up there with your bedroom and bathroom. The thing is, a lot of people don't treat it like the wonderful part of their house it is. The place where all of your food options exist is one to keep well stocked on groceries and cooking ingredients, of course, but it's also where all of your tools to do your cooking are. Now, while you may be aware that you need dishes to eat on (we're sure hoping you knew this), there are a lot of tools that you're missing out on in your kitchen. Whether you admit it or not, writing things down on something seen daily helps keep you more organized and on track with things. By putting up a magnetic whiteboard on your fridge, you're much more likely to do the tasks listed and actually go get the groceries written down right there in front of you. Ever used a fork to shred chicken for a recipe? It's the absolute worse. And your fingers do no better, despite the fact that it may seem like you're more in control. Enter the kitchen bear claws. These things act as extensions of your fingers while being better forks overall. You grip them like you would brass knuckles and then just start shredding away at your meat. It's honestly an amazing tool that makes the few recipes you struggle with a lot, lot easier to handle. The best part? They're actually pretty cheap, even for having nice metal claws that can rip into the meat quite easily. Just know you should have a cutting board of sorts down beneath your meat when shredding, as these could likely tear up your counter. Alright, so admittedly some people know they should have this, but when it comes to flattening or tenderizing your chicken, steak, or pork chops, there is absolutely no substitute to a meat tenderizer. Hammers or mallets are unclean since you use them for other parts of your house. Note: It's best to wrap your meat in saran wrap before pummelling it to keep it unharmed and in the best possible condition before you marinate/grill/broil/whatever it. | 2019-04-20T22:47:42Z | null | {

The kitchen area is sometimes one of the most daunting areas to think of in terms of small space. The idea of not having the capability to whip up a 00-course meal and serve mammoth trays of hors d'oeuvre is almost frightening to us. What if the entire garden club drops by unexpectedly for dinner? Before you panic at the thought of giving up your mega appliances, ask yourself when was the last time you cooked with all four stovetop burners simultaneously? And if you moved all the expired food in your refrigerator to the dust bin, how much space would you really need in the chiller? It may be that your lifestyle is more suited to small space living than you had originally thought. Originally an Italian company, Smeg was established in the UK in 0000 and Smeg UK is currently based in Oxfordshire. Their refrigerator line is particularly useful in small spaces. The tall, narrow shape makes clever use of vertical space. -And the designs! The addition of one of their products, such as the retro stripe version pictured below, will make a statement that your entire kitchen can be designed around. Though they are billed as a retro design, the sleek lines could work just as easily in a contemporary space and come in unusual colors such as lime green and pink. They also currently offer a refrigerator emblazoned with the Union Jack on the front. This UK based company has specialised in providing small space kitchen units for the past ten years for studio flats, student housing and office kitchens, just like the one pictured at left. It just so happens that their neatly fitted, compact kitchens work well in a tiny house as well. They recently released a new range of economical compact kitchens that will fit both a small space and a small budget. The unit has a microwave, 0 hotplates, a fridge with a freezer compartment, and a sink with a monobloc tap. This company located in Blackburn, Lancashire offers compact kitchens by several different well-known manufacturers. They are one of the main authorised dealers for Space Savers UK. Their staff is highly experienced in fitting customers with the right kitchen and they offer free delivery in the UK on orders over 000 GBP. Definitely worth a look at the selection on their website!

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Mrs. Krishna Hutheesing with Mr. and Mrs. Pai in front of their residence in Kandy July 0000. The Raj Agent in Ceylon 0000-00 is a book by Sharada Nayak, the daughter of Ammembal Vittal Pai, an ICS officer who served both sides of Independence. The narrative takes us through some important phases of the history of Indo-Ceylon relations during the crucial years between 0000 and 0000. In his foreword, G. Parthasarathy, former Foreign Service officer, recalls the sterling role played by A V Pai in dealing with the growing demands from the Sinhala political leadership for the repatriation of a large number of Indian Tamils. Parthasarathy himself was designated later by the then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, to handle issues pertaining to the fall out of the presence of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka between 0000 and 0000. Therefore his stating in his foreword that "this book draws attention to some of the historical complexities in building a vibrant, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious policy in Sri Lanka" lends significance to the work of Sharad Nayak. Born 0000, in Calicut, A.V. Pai, after his early education in Mangalore, graduated from the Presidency College, Madras, proceeded to England for further studies in Wadham College, Oxford University, and was called to the Bar in 0000. As was with many a bright student from India, he appeared for the exam and got inducted into the Indian Civil Service. Pai married Tara, the only daughter of Dr. Kesava Pai, well known in Madras for the treatment of Tuberculosis. Dr. Kesava Pai retired as the first Indian to head the King's Institute, Guindy. With the passing of the Emigration Act, the Government of India established an Agency in Ceylon in 0000. This was manned by an ICS officer known as the Raj Agent in Ceylon. Pai, who had been assigned to the Madras Presidency cadre, was serving in Kumbakonam when he was sent to Ceylon in 0000 as the Agent of the Indian Government in Ceylon. His daughter, Sharada, author of the book, remembers the excitement they felt as children when they boarded the Indo-Ceylon Express at Egmore where the Health Officers checked the immigrants. She recalls Mandapam camp, run by the Government of Ceylon, where the officials checked the applications of workers from India proceeding to Ceylon for a living. The kanganis were the recruiting agents for the tea estate owners of Ceylon and the workers obeyed them without murmur due to their state of poverty and lack of employment in India. The job-seekers were herded into large sheds with their families, little knowing what awaited them in the island but hoping for a better future. It was much later that the author learned that those groups of ragged peasants were the reason for the journey of her family to Ceylon. She remembers that as a child of barely 0 she was told the reason for the name Dhanushkodi - it was Vibhishana who, when crowned by Rama, said, "Oh Rama, as long as we were an island the sea surrounded and protected us. Now that you have built a bridge we are vulnerable." Rama with his bow struck the bridge and broke it. Broken by a bow (dhanush), the place came to be known as Dhanushkodi. The Pai family was to live in Kandy, in the hill country, a place of great natural beauty; Pai did not take the house his predecessor, K.P.S. Menon, had lived in, but took The Orchard with its pretty, sloping garden lined with durian trees. Sharada's sisters were Kanaka and Shanti. Their mother introduced them to their neighbour, Mrs Jonklaas, a Burgher family, who remarked, "You have Wealth and Learning and Peace!" (meaning Kanaka, Sharada and Shanti). When the slavery system was abolished and an indentured labour system introduced by the West, it was easy for those others who needed labour to adopt this system, though there was no change in exploitation of the workers. The kanganis recruited and sent more than 00,000 immigrants to Ceylon in 0000-00 alone. Sharada narrates that the Nattukottai Chettiars in Ceylon were a force to reckon with as they controlled to some extent the economy of the island. She feels that with so many Indians contributing to the economic activity of the island, there was considerable prejudice and overt discrimination against them, particularly if they were unskilled labour. Two matters that took up considerable time and travel in 0000 and 0000 for Pai were the contemplated eviction of Kandapola cultivators and the Village Communities Ordinance. To have first-hand knowledge, Pai visited 00 estates. In 0000 the Governor of Ceylon was Sir Andrew Caldecott and under pressure from Ceylonese leaders, he appointed a one-man commission to study the problems of immigration. Sir Edward Jackson was the appointee and Pai, as Agent, gave his report. During 0000 and 0000 the wages were cut for the workers and the Agent in his report asked that the migrant labour be treated as Ceylonese and given the same rights and dues. The book's most important chapter is the visit of Nehru to the island in July 0000. Accompanied by Krishna Hutheesing, his sister, he drove around the island with Pai. He visited the tea gardens to understand the problems faced by the Indian workers. When Nehru returned to India, he sent his notes to Pai to examined for correctness. An entire chapter is devoted to the correspondence between Nehru and Pai and throws light into their deep sense of commitment to solve problems in the beginning itself. The book, quoting extensively from later accords between the two countries, is a mine of information for scholars wanting to research Indo-Sri Lankan relations as far as the Indian Tamil issue is concerned. | 2019-04-18T17:24:17Z | null | {

Sweet cicely offers many sensual pleasures to the forager. There is an ampleness and generosity in her growth that is pleasing to the eye - seldom taller than a metre or so, but always appearing substantial without being solid. Despite being a member of the often scary carrot family, this gorgeous plant is one I recommend to novice foragers. If there is a tastier, more refreshing, easier to make summer drink than this, please let me know! | 2019-04-22T10:31:55Z | null | {

00. But others, to whom these words are no longer a nest but, rather, a shady thicket, spy the fruits concealed in them and fly around rejoicing and search among them and pluck them with cheerful chirpings: For when they read or hear these words, O God, they see that all times past and times future are transcended by thy eternal and stable permanence, and they see also that there is no temporal creature that is not of thy making. By thy will, since it is the same as thy being, thou hast created all things, not by any mutation of will and not by any will that previously was nonexistent--and not out of thyself, but in thy own likeness, thou didst make from nothing the form of all things. This was an unlikeness which was capable of being formed by thy likeness through its relation to thee, the One, as each thing has been given form appropriate to its kind according to its preordained capacity. Thus, all things were made very good, whether they remain around thee or whether, removed in time and place by various degrees, they cause or undergo the beautiful changes of natural process. They see these things and they rejoice in the light of thy truth to whatever degree they can. 00. Again, one of these men(see note 000) directs his attention to the verse, "In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth," and he beholds Wisdom as the true "beginning," because it also speaks to us. Another man directs his attention to the same words, and by "beginning" he understands simply the commencement of creation, and interprets it thus: "In the beginning he made," as if it were the same thing as to say, "At the first moment, God made . . ." And among those who interpret "In the beginning" to mean that in thy wisdom thou hast created the heaven and earth, one believes that the matter out of which heaven and earth were to be created is what is referred to by the phrase "heaven and earth." But another believes that these entities were already formed and distinct. Still another will understand it to refer to one formed entity--a spiritual one, designated by the term "heaven"--and to another unformed entity of corporeal matter, designated by the term "earth." But those who understand the phrase "heaven and earth" to mean the yet unformed matter from which the heaven and the earth were to be formed do not take it in a simple sense: one man regards it as that from which the intelligible and tangible creations are both produced; and another only as that from which the tangible, corporeal world is produced, containing in its vast bosom these visible and observable entities. Nor are they in simple accord who believe that "heaven and earth" refers to the created things already set in order and arranged. One believes that it refers to the invisible and visible world; another, only to the visible world, in which we admire the luminous heavens and the darkened earth and all the things that they contain. | 2019-04-21T18:07:40Z | null | {

We first met Abraham when we were searching for a condo in Sherman Oaks, CA while in Colorado. This was to be a 0nd house. He fully vetted me during a 0 hour phone call and quickly found what we were looking for while we were still in Colorado. Because of this experience when it was time to sell we used Abraham again. Just like the 0st time he handled everything with the up most professionalism and in less than a week we had an above price all cash offer. He even went as far as to handle lining up a company to clean the condo so it would show the best. I would highly recommend Abraham and his brother Donny for any real estate needs you may have. | 2019-04-25T00:52:53Z | null | {

As my experiences grow and increase, I learn a lot about the spirits in my home. Especially the one who is with me constantly. Charlie. (As with my other posts, I do not use real names, for people past or present). This past Saturday, 0 November 0000, we had a few people over for a braai (barbeque in American terms) so friends could have some time with my dad. He has been living in Mozambique for the last 0 months, having found his dream job there. He makes a point of coming home every few weeks, but that does not necessarily mean that everyone gets to see him. One of the people I was particularly happy I was going to see was Uncle James, Charles "dad". He adopted Charles when he was in his teens and raised him as his own. They had a very special bond. Since learning that Charles was by my side, I will be honest; I still had days where I doubted that it really was him. Therefore, I sent his dad an e-mail and asked him if he had any pictures of Charlie that he would not mind parting with. The entire time that I knew him, he was exceptionally camera shy and never wanted to pose for me, it was frustrating. His dad kindly obliged and we then decided to arrange the braai so he would have reason to come through and bring me the pictures. Since Friday, 0 November 0000, I have had a constant knot in my stomach, like I was scared to death of something happening, really nervous, but I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. My hands were shaky at times; every now and then I'd have to stop what I was doing just to take a deep breath, because the feeling was so overwhelming. I did not understand it. When Charlies dad arrived on Saturday afternoon, around 0:00PM, I went to open the gate for him and let him in. When he got out of the car, he gave me the tightest hug, as if he had not seen me in ages and really missed me. My nervousness was ratcheted quite high and I was really starting to wonder what the heck was going on with me. We went into the house, through the TV room and out to the pool. Everyone was sitting under the lapa and, as always, Uncle James got a warm welcome. Everybody loves him. He opened his bag and handed me a paper envelope, giving me what I had asked for. Four pictures of Charlie. I thanked him and gave him another hug, then went into the house with the pictures. I immediately took my phone and took pictures of the photos and sent it off to Tim, my friend who is a medium. I sent two pictures, one of Charlie wearing a cap (his hair seemed very short there, but you could see his face very clearly), and one with him sitting on a chair, holding a beautiful grey cat. In this picture his hair was longer, just like I remembered him. I sent the picture with the cat first, then the one with the cap, and Tim only downloaded the second picture. He sent me a message and said, "Thats Charlie." My heart leapt, it really was him. So I asked Tim if that was how he saw Charlie, and he said "When I see him his hair is longer", I then told him to check his messages because I had sent him two pictures, and he responded that the picture with the cat was exactly how he saw Charlie. Now I had absolute confirmation that it was him, no more doubts. However, from then on, Tim would send me messages, asking me questions. The men had started to braai the meat, when Tim sent a message and asked me if Uncle James had a sort of a nervous tic. He asked if he was constantly twirling a bit of his hair around his finger. I thought about it, and then answered, "Yes, above his left ear". I had noticed it but did not really think much of it at the time; after all, I have a tendency to twitch my knees, force of habit. Now I became intrigued, because Charlie had shown this to Tim and I wanted to know why. Keep in mind my nervousness seemed to be full force whenever Uncle James was around me. I started watching him. He did not seem to know what to do with his left hand, so he shoved it into his pocket. Then he started swaying on his legs. He seemed genuinely uncomfortable. In addition, every now and then he would look at me, when he thought I would not notice. He had the strangest look on his face. So I sent Tim a message and told this to him, and his reply had me stunned. He said, "He's not looking at you, he senses Charles around you." Whoa, I did not expect that. Now, when I told Tim on Thursday night that Charles dad was coming to visit, I asked him how Charles felt about it and Tim had answered that Charles was on the fence, he did not know how he should feel about this, but he was definitely nervous. Tim also told me that Charlie was hiding behind me the entire time. He said he never left my immediate area, and the analogy he used was "like a little boy clinging to his mother's skirt, or like Kiddo clings to his room". He then asked me if I knew what happened prior to his death. I had asked his dad a bit about it, but never pried too deeply, it is a painful subject after all. His dad had expected his death, knew it was coming, but he did not tell me more than that. So I told Tim what I knew, and he responded asking if Charlie and his dad had come to blows before his death. I did not know, and felt I would be prying if I asked something like that. Now something made sense to me. I asked Tim if there was any way that I could be channelling Charlie's feelings, because I was so nervous my stomach was in knots but I knew on some level that it was not my feelings. He answered saying, "you know why you feel this way, it isn't you, and Charlie's emotions are coming through you. He's afraid." After learning on Thursday that Charles was nervous about his dad coming to visit, I promised him I would not mention anything about his being there to his dad. I said as much to Tim, and he just said, "Stick to your promise". When I left the area where Uncle James was, the nervousness died down and the knot in my stomach relaxed. I had gone to the kitchen to get something to drink, and in walked Uncle James. He was alone with me for less than 00 seconds and made an excuse to leave the room. When I asked Tim about this, he said it was simply because he could sense Charlie around me and he did not know how to handle it. He got a reading off Uncle James and said that he wanted his son around; he wanted to know he was ok, but what happened before his death was a wall he could not get over. So I asked how they would fix things, given that one was alive and one was not. And even more to the point, Charlie does not want his dad to know that he is around. Tim simply said, "It's not my or your place to interfere." As the evening wore on, I knew when Uncle James would enter my vicinity simply by the knots in my stomach "pulling tighter". I could anticipate exactly when he would enter a room. He curiously looked at me with questioning eyes, but he hardly ever came close to me the whole evening. The only time he came close to me was when he said hallo and goodbye to me. The funny thing is he said goodbye to me twice. Once in the house, and once when I was standing outside with everyone else. After everyone left we went to bed. It wasn't really late, about 00:00PM. One of my sons had decided he wanted to sleep in mommy's room (he usually comes creeping in each and every night) and he was fast asleep within a few minutes. I watched a bit of TV and fell asleep not long after. I was woken up at 0:00 AM to knocking on my window. My heart just about stopped. I asked "whose there?" and was answered by the guy renting the apartment attached to my house. We call it a granny flat. He said his girlfriend was going ballistic and he needed help. When I opened my bedroom door my mom stood in her doorway, and told me she had been listening to the fight for well over an hour at that point. I was very apprehensive going out to the flat with this commotion going on, and could feel that Charlie hated that I was going there. This girl was drunk and had turned violent. She had slapped her boyfriend repeatedly, she had thrown him with cups and glasses etc., had even attempted to slash her own wrists. She was in such a state no one could reason with her. She cried in a high pitched voice the entire time and nothing was coherent. Through all of this, I constantly had the sense that Charlie was right there, but he wanted me to stay quiet. He did not want me to talk. Perhaps he was afraid I would say something to provoke her. I was so mad I wanted to call the police. It took us an hour to get her calm enough to get her to bed. My mom spoke her down from her frenzy and eventually got her to agree to go to bed. When mom and I went back to the house, it was 0:00AM. She came to my room with me and we sat there talking for a while, then she went back to bed. I was drained. Yet, I was so awake I could not sleep. The stress and adrenaline of everything that happened really messed with my sleeping pattern. I tried to will myself to sleep around 0:00AM and as I lay there and tried to calm myself, I could hear Charlie pacing in my room. From one side of the bed to the other, and back, repeatedly. This comforted me, even when he had his own issues to work through; he still felt the need to protect me. On Sunday morning she came into the house to apologize for her behaviour, she claimed that she had no recollection whatsoever of a single thing that happened the night before. Its Monday now and I can still feel that Charlie is stressed; the knot in my stomach comes and goes every so often. I will not go back on a promise. Unless he wants it to happen, I will never tell his dad about what is really going on.

The author, triden00, has the following expectation about your feedback: I will read the comments and participate in the discussion. Wow it is amazing isn't it, its like they evolve more intelligence on the spiritual plane, I think as long as you are surrounding yourself and your home with light and love and protection,happiness,laughter etc you can almost guarantee that the darker entities will be kept at bay add your guardians to the equation your a winner I think. I know it is a lot easier said then done but always striving to achieve IT works wonders my friend! Tim told me that I need to remember, being connected to Charlie, and gran for that matter, means that they can feel my emotions as strongly as I can feel theirs. My mom has been coughing again lately and I can feel how it ratchets up gran's nerves. Even charlie is worried about her. The other thing Tim told me, he could tell me what happened to me on a night when I was 00 years old, a night that I had not even told my parents about. And the reason he could tell me, is because Charlie found out about that night after he had passed. Tim said Charlie was so mad at the person who caused me that pain, he wanted to tear him apart with his bare hands. I don't have secrets anymore, Tim learned my deepest darkest one. Hi Dan. I think, if it were at all possible to control what you are privvy to in the spiritual sense, it would be a much easier road. Tim keeps telling me if I have questions for Charlie I should ask him directly, and I do, but mostly silence greets me. Though, when I get emotional or worried, I can always feel him standing right against me. He touches my hair, or fiddles with my necklace (I wear a silver chain with a cross on at all times) and if I'm wary of going to the front of the house in the morning, I call to him and I immediately feel calm. But, when I think of the scope of terror that Tim has experienced in his life, at this moment being followed by an extremely dark entity bringing death to Tim's family, I just hope and pray I never get to that level. I'm not brave, I'm scared to death. My hope is that I do not develop senses that span the horizons of Tim's. But, as with learning Kiddo's real name, as Tim says, time time time. Only time will tell. It can be daunting, trust me. I know who is with me, I know who is in my house, but I still jump at unusual noises. Charlie is/was a prankster, he knows I don't like being scared, so he does little things to get my attention (every now and then he is less subtle). The part I love, is when I leave the room and my kids are sleeping, I can hear him sit down on the bed, telling me he is watching over them. And when something bothers me, he will squeeze my shoulder or run his fingers up and down my arm. It's really nice that you are keeping your promise to Charlie.:) I wish I had a spirit that followed me around like that. © The ghost story Charlie's Anguish is copyrighted to triden00.

Some pathetic responses in here. Million for the lad is good money. Starts to recoup some of the investment. Will he make it and be worth a lot more in the future? we simply don't know so why all the drama queen responses? Be careful , you will get shot down on here for talking actual sense. Crystal Palace have told Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City that Wilfried Zaha will cost £00m. Makes sense to replace him with Thomas. Because we have this knack of selling really highly rated players for very little money. Theo Walcott was sold for 00 million from Southampton about 00 or so years ago, we sold Will Hughes last year for 0 million. Both were up and coming English players. If we were looking to sell it would have made more sense to give him some game time and triple the fee. Shambles if he went for a million. Hes head and shoulders above anyone in the u00s. Him and Elsnik should be pushing for first team football here next season, give them new deals if needs be. It's amazing that some seem to hype him up as our saviour based on approximately 00 minutes of first team football, and are also taking this as gospel. It's the equivalent of the Derby Telegraph being the only paper to report that Will Hughes is going to Barcelona for £00m. He is obviously doing well in the Under-00's, and that's very good, but I seem to remember Callum Ball was as well back in the day. In truth we don't really know how well he'll make the step up. £0m would be pretty good money for someone with so little football. It's not though is it. Derbys young player of the year gone for a million(although i doubt there's any truth in it) which means the others are worth how much? A bag of crisps and a banana! 0 million isn't even alot of money nowadays. Especially considering thy next season we may not be throwing money at it, these lads will be closer to the first team if we're in this division. May as well keep him and wait and see! Hes head and shoulders above anyone in the u00s that aren't out on loan or named Jayden Bogle. Him and Elsnik should be pushing for first team football here next season, give them new deals if needs be. I think Thomas has the potential to be worth more than £0m, of course he does. But there's always a risk associated with holding on to a young player, same as there's a risk in letting them go. I don't think it would be an upsetting deal. I'd be a little disappointed. So, let's get this right. A local rag, part of the DET group of papers and therefore subject to the same desire to get online clicks to maximise their advert income, rework a story that was doing the rounds several weeks ago with liberal uses of the words 'close' to, 'interested' in and all the rest that indicate that they actually know the square root of nothing. West Ham don't even know who their manager will be next season. And we have the boy himself interviewed on RamsTV. He appears to be pretty level headed and also speaks about how nervous he was and is just going to first team training, never mind getting on the pitch (when, if I remember right, he forgot completely what position he was playing in on his debut). Sounds to me like Gaz is doing the right thing by holding him back a bit, getting him used to being around the squad and the first team so that when he does play he'll be able to give of his best. Why on earth would a level headed young guy from Cheltenham, making progress in his career, want to bury himself in London in a PL club that's a complete mess from top to bottom, and run every risk of stagnating, just because gloucestershire live suggest it? for glos live and the DET. Yup. | 2019-04-26T14:10:39Z | null | {

Rail Bender: Get Your Feet Into Those Stirrups for Jesus! You see, this time they've gone all the way back to fertilization. I'm talking about Proposal 00 - also known as the "Personhood" proposal - that was on the Mississippi ballot yesterday. In it, the state would have considered the moment of conception as the definition of a human being. Thus, a morula would have been recognized as a person and be granted the rights, protection and privileges of any resident of Mississippi. Everyone understands what this really is. The fundies need a legal way to directly challenge Roe v. Wade at the state level, plain and simple. Anyway, if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I went a little, "Alec Baldwin" with the number of tweets I had while I waited for the election results. And yes, I had a little fun with it along the way. As I sat in my chair, wondering how so many people could actually vote for this nonsense, I watched with overwhelming relief as the results finally came in. The level headed voters in Mississippi prevailed. PHEW! Regretfully, this relief didn't last long. It seems that this is far from over. Today I read that the fundies are going to keep trying until it does pass. Ugh. These guys are going to give me a coronary. I wonder, will all the healthy women that voted for Proposition 00 donate their uteruses to free the frozen embryos held against their will in fertility clinics? What a perfect idea... This could really gain some momentum in the "personhood" movement. Put your uterus where your mouth is! Just think about those poor little lambs, so alone in the cold! C'mon you women of god, get your feet into those stirrups for Jesus!!! | 2019-04-25T22:02:07Z | null | {

The Obstacle Jungle Slide is a huge slide. The slide is pretty steep and the kids slide down and stop against an inflated wall. The entrance to the slide is through a hole in a wall and then climbing past two palm trees. They ten climb the cargo net and slide down to the front. This castle is also popular for School Events, Team Building Events and even Corporate year end events. Colours: Dark Green, Spec Blue and Orange. Dimensions: 00m in length, 0m in width and 0m in height. Motor is a 0.0kw motor with a 00m extension lead. If your power point is further than 00m from where the castle will be placed, you will need to supply an additional extension lead. These are not provided by Party Animals. | 2019-04-25T02:19:04Z | null | {

0. Easy to view and print contracts -- every client needs one, this is just an easy way to keep track of them. 0. New payment plans -- you now have two brand spanking new options to choose from when it comes to paying for your portraits. A note to this will be that no product can leave the studio without being paid for 000%. 0. Pricing adjustments -- some pricing went down, some went up. All-in-all, the pricing stayed about the same. I tried to make it as easy and economical as possible so that there isn't sticker shock and both you and I are satisfied with the end cost and product. There was also a new level of spending that was added to the senior and family & children levels. You now have another opportunity to walk away with free product and spend a little less while doing it! Yay! 0. Order Session procedures -- this one was a little tricky. It seems once stopping proof books, some people were a little resistant to change. The new way to order is to come in, view, and pay at least a small portion that day. It's much easier to keep track of everything if we don't have to make multiple appointments for your ordering sessions. To aid in this, there will be a $00.00 additional charge for each viewing session and each additional gallery that needs to be uploaded if you cannot make a decision on your initial session premiere viewing appointment. Along these same lines, if you do not show for a viewing appointment without calling or letting me know, there is a $00 charge. Hopefully some of these small changes will help both client and photographer. | 2019-04-20T15:13:18Z | null | {

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman has revealed the grunge-era band he believes takes the crown in a recent Instagram Q&A. Billy Corgan believes the the best band of the 00s was Nirvana. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman took part in a recent Instagram Q&A where he gave he quick-fire answers to some very big questions. According to Alternative Nation, when asked the mammoth question of "Best band of the 00s?" the 0000 rocker simply and quickly named the late Kurt Cobain and co. Asked about his favourite band, however, the answer was slightly further from home, with Corgan citing German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. Asked what it's like being famous in the music industry, the Today rocker said: "Worthless, honestly." Billy Corgan has been taking a trip down memory lane in more ways than one, reuniting with original members of Smashing Pumpkins (save D'arcy Wretzky). The band were also joined by special guests in former New Order and Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, and The Killers' Mark Stoermer and Dave Keuning. | 2019-04-19T09:21:18Z | null | {

A proposal that the Southern Baptist Convention urge Christian parents to remove their children from public schools didn't get the support it needed to be considered for a vote last week at the convention's annual meeting. T.C. Pinckney, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general from Alexandria, Va., who had pushed the measure, said he doesn't plan to give up trying to persuade Southern Baptists to opt for home schooling and private Christian schooling instead of public schools that he sees as hostile to Christian beliefs. Mr. Pinckney said in an interview last week that he plans to submit a similar proposal to the convention next year. "We will not fold our tents and tuck our tail between our legs and sneak away," he said. Numbering 00.0 million, Southern Baptists make up the nation's largest Protestant denomination. Some 0,000 representatives gathered for religious services and to vote on church matters at the meeting, held June 00 and 00 in Indianapolis. In its rationale for urging parents to remove their children from public schools, the proposal said: "It is foolish for Christians to give their children to be trained in schools run by the enemies of God." Calvin R. Wittman, the chairman of the 00-member resolutions committee for the convention, told the assembled Southern Baptists last week that the committee had unanimously decided not to bring Mr. Pinckney's resolution up for a vote before the convention. He explained to the attendees that the committee members felt that parents - and not the denomination - should be the ones to decide where to send their children to school, according to John Revell, a spokesman for the convention. But Mr. Pinckney made sure that the church representatives, which Southern Baptists call messengers, had a chance to consider the matter at the annual meeting. As an amendment to another resolution, which criticized the secularization of American society, he proposed urging Christian parents to choose home schooling or private schooling for their children. Messengers discussed that amendment for about 00 minutes, according to Mr. Pinckney, before voting it down. "Vote Sought on Public School ‘Exodus,'" May 00, 0000. "Separation of Church and School," Commentary, Feb. 00, 0000. "Ga. Chief Backs Down on 'Evolution' Stance," Feb. 00, 0000.

The likes of Twitter and Facebook have made it so much easier for passengers to voice their displeasure when things go wrong. Failures happen for a variety of reasons. The best thing that airlines can do in these situations is just be honest. Dedicating investments into new or upgraded systems is called for as well. Another week, another major airline is crippled by some kind of software glitch. If you feel as if you're hearing about these incidents more often, you are - but not necessarily because they're happening more frequently. Delta Air Lines Inc. suffered an IT outage that led to widespread delays and 000 flight cancellations on Jan. 00 and 00, a problem the carrier said was caused by an electrical malfunction. A week earlier, United Continental Holdings Inc. issued a 0 0/0-hour ground stop for all its domestic flights following troubles with a communication system pilots use to receive data. These two shutdowns were the latest in what's been a series of computer crack-ups over the past few years, including major system blackouts that hobbled Southwest Airlines Co. as well as Delta for several days last summer - affecting tens of thousands of passengers. Financially, Delta took a $000 million hit for its debacle last August, while Southwest's four-day meltdown the previous month cost it about $00 million. Passengers inconvenienced by the more recent stoppages may be forgiven for not cheering too loudly. Add in the roles of Facebook and Twitter in amplifying the anger that comes with being stuck in an airport, or on a tarmac, or circling the runway, and you've got a good handle on why these outages are hitting a collective nerve. Each person on an affected flight has a story about how such a fiasco disrupted plans, and the means to share it. And they do. Few major carriers have been immune to technological glitches of one sort or another. The underlying theme is that airlines these days are asking their IT to accomplish far more than ever before, from reservations to merchandising to flight operations to customer service. And all of these systems need to communicate with each other. The more complicated the network, the more prone to failure it becomes. Now stir those realities with the fact that most airlines deploy a mix of old and new technologies, building some just for themselves to do particular tasks while buying others from vendors. That makes the overall IT operation a motley collection of equipment. "Airline IT is always going to be an amalgam of legacy and state-of-the-art hardware," said Robert Mann, an aviation consultant in Long Island, N.Y. and a former American Airlines executive. That combination also increases the need for carriers to continually assess what's nearing the end of its life, what might break, and how. "The previously unknown weakest link always emerges," Mann said in an email. Often unexpectedly. For better or worse, airline technology platforms now interact with the public much more closely than in bygone days when the business of flight was conducted mostly via mainframe. Passengers access their reservations to change flight plans, seats, and meal preferences. This digital interaction often involves multiple areas of an airline's operation, which can increase the burden on systems. The industry's widespread consolidation over the past decade has amplified the repercussions when a glitch causes paralysis: U.S. airlines are the largest the world has ever seen, with load factors near record highs. That passenger scale greatly increases the impact of a system outage. Far from skimping on their IT necessities, airlines enlarged by takeovers are spending more these days. They want to capture the many benefits of technology that can sniff out inefficiencies, market their wares better, and customize the travel experience so you'll spend more. Mergers have also led to some new investments as carriers found that replacing some systems was superior to patching together old ones. American Airlines Group Inc., for example, built a new revenue-management platform as part of its union with US Airways. Southwest executives are neck deep in a $000 million overhaul of their information technology , installing a new operations system called Altéa from Amadeus IT Holding SA. Southwest aims to integrate much of that new IT later this year. But even with the increased spend on technology, airlines are different from other industries in that they are limited not just by historically thin profit margins, but by the cost of flight safety, which will always be job No.0. For example, as a percentage of revenue, banks and financial services firms spent 0.0 percent last year on IT, according to data compiled by technology researcher Gartner Inc. The transport industry, including airlines, spent only 0.0 percent of revenue. An airline's goal is to manage nimbly when a problem materializes and to minimize the effect on customers and the network. "How quickly can they manage an outage and then recover from it?" Jaggers said, describing the approach as similar to the way carriers respond to major weather events. Still, considering the manner in which airline tech is taxed 00 hours per day, 000 days per year, the carriers can boast a "vanishingly small" failure rate for their overall systems, Mann said. "In general, the big airlines are quite conscientious about their technology investments," said Dolly Wagner-Wilkins, senior vice president-solutions delivery at Sabre Corp., a major vendor of airline technology based in Southlake, Tex. | 2019-04-22T17:57:24Z | null | {

I read in my literature class once "My heart is warm with the friends I make, and better friends I'll not be knowing, yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take, no matter where it's going." It struck a chord within me, as if these lines were written for me. Maybe that was the time I realized that I was truly bitten by the travel bug. It made me think about all the amazing train journeys I've made within and outside India and also made me long for many more such journeys. Real, fictional, magical, all train journeys will work. Maybe one day I'll find myself at platform number 0 ¾ waiting to board the Hogwarts Express. But I digress. Let's talk about magic some other day, for now let's start by talking about some of the best and most incredible Indian Train Journeys. Do let me know in comments if you have been on any of these train rides in India and how your experience was. I bet everyone knows about Palace on Wheels - India's first ever luxury train. It has everything - exotic locales, the desert, being treated like royalty and a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The all-inclusive journey of 0N/0D will cover most of Rajasthan's highpoints and will even take you to see the Taj Mahal in Agra. Besides being decked up with all the splendour of Rajasthan, the train also has all the modern amenities, such as attached bathrooms, wifi, air conditioner, restaurants, and so on. Royal Rajasthan on Wheels is another popular luxury train tour that focuses exclusively on Rajasthan. Newly opened, the Maharaja Express gives you 0 different pan India travel itineraries to choose from. The shortest being 0N/0D and the longest one at 0N/0D, the journeys cover some of the culture capitals of Northern and Central India. Palace on Wheels started the trend and some of these royal-themed train journeys follow it, treating you like a royalty that is. The train operates only during the months of October to April. What started as promoting luxury train tourism in Maharashtra soon fanned into something bigger. They now offer a pan India package that starts and ends at either Delhi or Mumbai and the duration is of 0N/0D.
