"Where the bounds of acceptable civil disobedience in a democracy lie is a debate that will be with us so long as times change and society transforms.

The Racial Discrimination Act's section 18c charade
"On Wednesday, Labor tried to have the bills debated in the house of representatives. Bill Shorten said the government's choice of the senate was nothing more than a cynical attempt by the prime minister 'to be able to make the claim to the extreme elements in his party room that his government is taking action … while hoping MPs in the chamber can avoid having to vote on the issue'. The champions of free speech in the government immediately gagged the debate. So the plan to 'strengthen the protection of free speech', as Turnbull claimed, was dead on arrival. But the charade had to be played out, and not without damage in the broader electorate."
Harmony Day turned into a triumph for pinkish-coloured people. PM Turnbull and his pale-skinned sidekick Bookshelves "Bigot" Brandis say it's important for our free speech that tinted people be subject to offence, insults and humiliation – but no harassment, please.

Beef tartare, tarragon mayonnaise, fried anchovy
Steak tartare is a very important part of the classic French bistro. Often horse is used. Personally, I prefer the beef. I've eaten quite a few versions, using various cuts of meat. I've seen it with an aged piece of beef, but I prefer to use fresh cuts. The tenderness is not an issue because you're dicing the meat anyway, and you add so many flavours that the ageing becomes kind of redundant.

What does a Texas sheriff wear to the Oscars? A tux with a few Texas touches. Namely, "my black boots and my hat," McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara told Waco's KWTX.
McNamara will be among Hollywood's biggest stars Sunday night when he attends the 89th Academy Awards; not as a nominee, but as a muse. According to KWTX, McNamara and his brother Mike were the inspiration behind "Hell or High Water," which is nominated for four Oscars this year, including best picture.
The screenplay for the movie, which stars Jeff Bridges as a Texas sheriff looking for one last adventure before retirement, was written by McNamara's cousin Taylor Sheridan who saw how the former U.S. Marshal struggled with possible retirement.

McNamara and his wife Charlotte won't be forgetting the Lone Star State out on the red carpet. "We've got the red carpet, we've got his white shirt, and we've got the blue dress, so we've got the red white and blue," she said.
The couple also expect to share a limousine ride to the ceremony with Bridges, who McNamara developed a friendship with and helped prepare for the role.

For immediate release — March 25, 2008
(DALLAS) — A special group of students from the Dallas County Community College District knows what it means to be motivated. They study, learn and succeed every day both in the classroom and in the community. Those seven students — each representing the seven colleges of DCCCD — have been recognized for their efforts as recipients of the 2008 Max and Rosa Goldblatt Endowment Awards in Community Service.
The students' efforts reflect Max and Rosa Goldblatt's dedication to community service, and their scholarships were awarded during a recent ceremony. The seven scholarship recipients, their hometowns and colleges are: Huong Dai of Farmers Branch, Brookhaven College; Michael Isom of Irving, North Lake College; Jennifer Pereyda of Garland, El Centro College; Evens Pierre of Dallas, Mountain View College; Juan Sifuentes of Waxahachie, Cedar Valley College; Winnie Widjaja of Dallas, Richland College; and Christin Yonley of Richardson, Eastfield College. (See the
award winners' biographical sketches and photos.)
The scholarship is given biennially to DCCCD students who show leadership in volunteer and community service work. Each awardee receives a $600 scholarship ($300 per semester) from the DCCCD Foundation, which administers the Goldblatt scholarship endowment. The seven DCCCD students receiving Goldblatt scholarships have been involved in community service projects such as tutoring in area schools, shelters and libraries; participating in community cleanups and food drives; volunteering at area animal shelters, in churches and for hurricane relief efforts; mentoring; working with the homeless; making toys; fundraising for special causes; and more.
The scholarship was established in 1986 to honor Max and Rosa Goldblatt, who both served as former Dallas leaders and longtime supporters of DCCCD. Max Goldblatt served three terms as a Dallas city councilman and played a major role in the creation of DCCCD (then the Dallas County Junior College District). Rosa Goldblatt was involved in many community service projects, and together, the couple inspired their children to continue that tradition of service to others.

Refreshingly Average
If there was one word that Charlie would describe his best friend as, he would wholeheartedly say that he was average. At best.
You see, John Smith, his best friend for pretty much all his life, lived a completely normal and unsurprising life.
Waking up at seven in the morning, eating cereal for breakfast, going to a boring nine to five job at an unknown office, returning to an empty home, eating ramen for dinner, type of average.
And Charlie would not ask for anything more, really.
Of course, he had other friends in his life who had much more interesting lives and stories to share that would leave him crying tears of joy and maybe even sorrow.
Take Lola for example, is a party queen ever since she was seventeen, works as a professional travel blogger, never is monogamous, and always has tricks up her sleeves.
Lola was what one would call obscure, maybe even a sexy mystery, but there was a problem with her: she could not stay still.
Charlie connected with her deeply for a few years, but after some time she was gone, like the rest of his "interesting" friends.
In fact, Charlie may be considered "interesting" so to speak, at least in society's terms.
Charlie worked as a chef in an upscale restaurant, had tons of tattoos and piercings, and was bisexual. What could be less normal than that?
But there was such a pressure placed on his shoulders.
Sure, he may be unique in some aspects, but there was a certain expectation set when he became friends with people. That certain stereotype where one thinks that the unique people must always have stories to tell and places to be.
But Charlie was not one of those types, honestly. When he did have free time, which was rare due to his stressful job, he just lazed at his apartment all day watching television and smoking cigarettes.
The most interesting thing he may have done in the last five years of his life was drink some wine that was twenty years old. That's it.
Now, back to John Smith, his friend since they were in diapers. John who had an average life, at best.
John had zero expectations set on him, and there was no pressure because the way his life would turn out was inevitable and set in stone.
John would work at his nine to five job for the rest of his life, find a wife along the way, maybe have two kids, buy a house in the suburbs, get a family dog, and retire once the kids are out of college.
That's it, that's all there comes to it. John did not have the pressure of seeming like an anomaly.
To Charlie, the idea of being normal was yearned for, he so dearly wished his life could be that way.
He hated having to have a mystery shrouding him, meeting people who would think he was more complex than he actually was.
He despised making friends who thinked he would be just as unique and obscure as they are, only to end up being left behind with his mouth hanging open.
John was average. Refreshingly average.
And he was always there, no matter what, because that is how his life was set.

What is Letters and Sounds?
Letters and Sounds is a structured approach to the teaching of phonics, reading and writing, which is used by teachers across England in primary schools. The content is organised into phases. Children will be ready to progress to each stage at different ages and teaching is organised to best meet individual children's needs. This may mean that your child is not always working with children in the same year group. Phonics is taught every day. Our Homework policy also links into phonics (or spelling as the children get older).
Phase 1/2- Nursery, Activities concentrate on developing children's speaking and listening skills, awareness of phonemes and blending and segmenting skills.
Phase 2 – 4 Foundation Stage 2, This is when systematic, high quality phonic work begins. Children learn how to represent each of the 42 sounds by a letter or sequence of letters, how to blend sounds for reading and how to segment words for spelling. Set 1 s a t p Set 2 l m n d Set 3 g o c k Set 4 ck e u r Set 5 h b f ff l ll s
Phase 3 – Foundation Stage 2 , The final letters are introduced, 15 digraphs and 2 trigraphs Set 6: j v w x Set 7: y z, zz qu ch chip ar farm ee feet sh shop ear dear or for igh night th thin/then ur hurt oa boat ng ring ow cow er corner ai rain oi coin air fair oo boot/look
Phase 4 – Foundation stage 2/Year 1, Children consolidate their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes and begin to blend more complex words.
Phase 5 – Year 1, Children learn new phonemes and investigate how the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes. ay day oy boy wh when a-e make ou out ir girl ph photo e-e these ie tie ue blue ew new i-e like ea eat aw saw oe toe o-e home au Paul u-e rule
Ways you can support your child at home
- Reading together - Teach lots of nursery rhymes – each one tells a different story.
- Enjoy and share books together – buy or borrow books that will fire their imagination and interest. Libraries will advise you of popular books.
- Make time to read with your child throughout their time in school – PLEASE continue reading to your child, even when they are reading independently. This is very important – your child needs to practice their reading skills every day, and needs the support of an interested adult.
- Let them see you reading – grown-ups can share their magazines about their favourite sport or hobby.
- Read with your child – ask your child to attempt unknown words, using their phonic skills and knowledge. Make sure they blend all through the word.
- Talk about the meaning of the book – take time to talk about what is happening in the book, or things that they found really interesting in an information book. Discuss the characters and important events. Ask them their views. Provide toys, puppets and dressing-up clothes that will help them to act out stories.
- Explain the meaning of words (vocabulary) that your child can read but may not understand, for example, flapped, roared.
- Listen to story tapes.
- Teach your child some action rhymes – 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes', 'Here we go round the mulberry bush', 'We all clap hands together'. Use CD's or the Cbeebies website of nursery rhymes to sing along to.
- Add sound effects when reading a story and encourage your child to join in.

I've always had an eye for jackets that are furry and oversized, in-fact the more extravagant the better. A few months ago I stumbled across TDS Hawarden, the mother and daughter fashion duo creating some of the most sought after bomber jackets around. With a feature in Teen Vogue and a sell out rate of 10 minutes, you know you're onto something exciting with The Design Studio.
TDS launch a select few exclusive, one off designs and once released they are almost like gold dust to get your mittens on. I've tried on a few occasions to bag myself a bomber only to have somebody pip me to the checkout!
If you like the look of the jackets I strongly recommend following TDS on Instagram to see when new collections are dropping and if you see a style you like, click buy immediately.
My jacket is the HYDREF. A beautiful mix of faux fur in my favourite colours brown, grey, orange, lilac and black. As soon as I saw the jacket had landed I knew that it has my name written all over it... When I wear it I feel like a cat crossed with an owl and when paired with antique rings, tortoiseshell rimmed glasses and a plain black tee and skinny jeans it looks even more incredible.
This bomber jacket is the perfect Autumn wardrobe accompaniment, the fur keeps you nice and snug whilst looking incredibly stylish.

The new 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport which is supposed to appear in the coming year will be not only more expensive but more luxurious and swanky as well. It will be more powerful and bigger in size as well.
2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport – Design Features and Technology
As far as the all- terrain and off- road capabilities of an SUV are concerned, Discovery Sport 2018 will definitely not disappoint its buyers. Though it was being speculated that the changes in the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be huge, the chances of this happening are quite less. The new 2018 Discovery Sport will have more editions and more engine options. The new SUV will have a new bumper. The fog lamps housing will be bigger while the central grille will also be modified. The wheelbase will be bigger while the suspension will be lower. The bumpers of the both ends of the SUV will be changed. The New Land Rover Discovery Sport will have more color options. The SUV will be able to seat 7 passengers. The body of the SUV will be made from a combination of steel and aluminum.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport will have a host of features which are present in its more expensive counterparts from other manufacturers. The upholstery all over inside the cabin will be done in leather giving it an ultra- premium look. It will come with a sunroof and a standard rear defrost system. It will have standard navigation system and automatic climate control system. The central infotainment system will have a Mp3 player, Bluetooth control, auxiliary audio input and audio controls will be present on the steering wheel as well. The doors and windows will have power locks with a keyless entry option. The smart device compatibility will enable the owners to adjust climate control as well as monitor the cars remotely.
2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport – Power Expectations
The engine will be a gasoline engine with a direct injection system. It will be an intercooler turbocharged engine.

It will be a four cylinder engine with nine-speed automatic transmission. It will be an all- wheel drive engine.
2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport – Release Date and Price
For those who are waiting eagerly for the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport, the wait could be a little longer as this beast is expected to hit the market only in the mid of 2018. The prices have not been announced yet, however, the price of the base model will be around $43,000. The price in respect to the features is quite admirable given the counterparts of the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport cost much more with the same amount of features. It is only a matter of time till the actual prices of all the trims are revealed by the manufacturer.

When starting a business it is essential that you seek the assistance of professionals to provide advice and equip you with the necessary knowledge to ensure the success of your business. For example a company secretary can assist you to incorporate your company, an accountant would advise you on tax matters and a lawyer will advise you on legal issues affecting your business.
Whether you are starting your own business or taking over an existing business, you will come across issues that will potentially give rise to a legal dispute.
Majority of legal disputes that may arise are inter alia in the following areas:-
a) Contractual issues, whether it is about buying or renting a property for your business or getting a franchise, distributorship or dealership, or tendering for
work or supplying goods to your customer;
b) Employment matters, whether it is about hiring or firing an employee;
c) Directors' duties and rights of shareholders;
All contracts entered in Malaysia are governed by the Contracts Act 1950. However, there are certain specific law for example the Sales of Goods Act 1957, Franchise Act 1998, Direct Sales Act 1993, Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1950, Carriage by Air Act 1974 etc. which govern specific contracts. It is important to seek legal advice before entering into any agreement and know your contractual rights in the event of a breach and the legal remedies that can be sought in the event of the breach. Although it is common that many transactions are based on verbal promises, it is advisable to try to reduce the contract into writing to ensure that your rights are protected in the event of a breach.
In cases such as joint ventures, it is advisable for parties to spell out their rights and obligations before the incorporation of the company. The parties may consider entering into a Pre-Incorporation contract to protect each party's rights before the setting up of the companies. If you are taking over the business by purchasing the shares of the company you may want to have a Letter of Intent outlining specifically the terms and conditions under which you intend to purchase the shares. Another way of protecting rights of parties before formalizing an agreement is to enter into Memorandum of Understandings (MOU). A MOU can be easily described as a gentlemen's agreement between parties to achieve a common end.
As for employment matters, a carefully drafted employment contract is essential to ensure the scope of work and expectations are well defined. In addition to an employment contract, many companies have a general employees' code of conduct booklet to deal with disciplinary and other possible human resource issues. In Malaysia, hiring and firing employees must be in line with the labour practices as promulgated in the Employment Act 1955 and the Industrial Relations Act 1967.
It is not uncommon to find that even within the company, there would be dispute between directors and between shareholders which can arise for all sort of reasons. The company's article of association and shareholders agreement should be able to cover many of the potential areas of dispute between directors and shareholders. The shareholders agreement can make provisions for dispute resolutions to avoid costly litigation.

North Carolina Classical, English, and Mathematical School
The North Carolina Classical, English, and Mathematical School—at times also called North Carolina Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy or Raleigh Institute—was a preparatory school for boys in Raleigh in the 1840s led by Robert Gray. The school opened in one of the buildings that had previously housed the Episcopal School for Boys on the Hillsborough Street site that became the campus of Saint Mary's School. In addition to "the regular Preparatory Classical Course," the school offered instruction in French, music, painting, and drawing. Gray's specialties were the classics and English, and his assistant principal Charles Doratt's were the visual arts.
The school moved in its second year into a remodeled school building in Baptist Grove (Moore Square), and later to an unidentified campus described only as "in the suburbs." In mid-1844, as the nation was involved in events leading to the Mexican War, the faculty and curriculum were enlarged to include military training. The former principal of the Portsmouth, Va., Military Academy, Oel A. Buck, became coprincipal and taught military tactics, including infantry and artillery practice, and introduced civil engineering and surveying. After Buck's departure in 1846 for service in the Mexican War, Simon Preston took over the mathematics and military department. The school apparently closed that year or early the next.

Well I have been taking my Leuprolide for 3 days now. So far it hasn't been that bad. I think the worst part for me is while I don't mind people getting blood from me, I don't like watching the needle go in me. Therefore I am having trouble watching myself stick a needle in myself. Once it is in I am fine, it is just the going in part that I am having trouble with. It doesn't hurt really and once it is done it truly is the pain that you forget!
The Prometrium has been giving me a bit of difficulty though. I am getting quite dizzy after I take it (dizzier then I was before) and this in turn makes me tired. I am sure I will get over it and it is only for the next few days anyway. Lucky for me I don't take it on Saturday when we are to go out dancing.
I will let you know if anything changes!

The launch in the city of Sreemoyee Piu Kundu's book Sita's Curse — The Language of Desire, laid bare the truth about sexual socialism and our society
"She had eyes the colour of rain — the most soulful pair of eyes, I had ever seen and also the saddest," says author Sreemoyee Piu Kundu, talking about the inspiration for her feminist erotic novel, Sita's Curse —The Language of Desirewhich was released in the city recently.
It was in another life, in another city, in another world that she first encountered this woman who she refers to as the hero of her novel, "I used to be a journalist in Bombay and would travel by cab to work every day. On my way, I would pass by this chawl in Byculla and my cab would always slow down as it went through that area. That was when I first noticed her. She wasn't glamorous the way Bollywood makes women out to be, but she was beautiful," says the 36-year-old author.
Perhaps it was her sheer radiance amidst the sordidness and squalor of her surroundings that made the memory so potent but Sreemoyee could never forget her, "I would look out for her every day— there was something so captivating about her. I assumed that she was Gujarati because she wore her sareeseedha-pallu style, I knew she was married because she wore a mangalsutra but that was all I knew. Sometimes she would be on the phone, sometimes she would be feeding her parrot; sometimes she would be drying her long, tousled dark hair. She was the most sensual, exotic creature I had ever seen."
Then the July 26th floods happened and everything changed, "I was a victim of the floods myself, was trapped in office, contracted leptospirosis after wading through filthy water to reach home and was ill for many days," she says. "When I resumed work again, I looked out for her but I never saw her again. I am just a vessel, a medium through which her story can be told."
Sita's Curse (Hachette Rs. 350), the product of that experience, tells the story of a beautiful, sensuous woman, Mrs. Meera Patel, who is trapped in a soulless marriage for nearly 20 years. The book chronicles her choices, her emotional upheavals, the discovery of her own physicality and the coming into her own as both a person and a woman. It also raises questions on issues such as the sexual politics of Indian households, the primordial connect between religion and sexuality, marital rape and women's empowerment.
The excerpts of Sita's Curse were read out at the launch, certainly seemed to be appreciated by the mostly woman audience of the Duchess Club who had gathered in Hotel Savera for the event. Also present were dancer Anita Ratnam who released the book, artist Thejo Menon and journalist and activist Apsara Reddy while the panel discussion that followed the launch was moderated by theatre personality, Prema Venkat.
According to Anita, "Erotica is a vital part of our culture — in fact cliché though it may be India is the very birthplace of it. We have myriad references to it in our art, literature, dance and music. Take, for instance, the 12th century poet Jayadeva's Gita Govinda that constantly refers to the physical aspect of love between Krishna and his consort Radha."
Closer home, we have the work of the Tamil poetess Andal whose work was, "soaked in erotica," as Sreemoyee says. Yet when plans to stage the Vagina Monologues were made in Chennai, a huge uproar was created, "I don't see why they make such a big fuss over a small patch of skin," laughs Anita.
Perhaps the reaction stems from, as Sreemoyee believes, the inability to accept female sexuality as an inherent, intrinsic part of her being. But as Apsara says, "Why are we apologetic about our desire? Why is the prevailing sentiment this — do what you want but don't talk about it?"
Sreemoyee adds, "Desire is such a natural thing — why should we assume it is derelict or dirty? I think it empowers women and induces a degree of sexual socialism. Every single human being has the right to be free — to explore their sexuality and make their own choices — sexual or otherwise."
Thejo Menon agrees, "As an artist I believe in the freedom of expression. As someone who comes from a matrilineal society, I believe in male-female equality and paint from that perspective."
At the end of the day, however the message is far beyond the sexually explicit parts of the novel Sita's Curse, "I am using the sexual body as a medium to tell a message," says Sreemoyee. "I want my readers to experience Meera and reclaim their true selves through her."

Hasta la Vista Cybor Corp.?
On Friday the Federal Circuit granted Lighting Ballast Control's petition for rehearing en banc in Lighting Ballast Control v. Philips Electronics North America Corp.
The order directs the parties to brief following issues:
1. Should this court overrule Cybor Corp. v. FAS Technologies, Inc., 138 F.3d 1448 (Fed. Cir. 1998)?
2. Should this court afford deference to any aspect of a district court's claim construction?
3. If so, which aspects should be afforded deference?
Cybor Corp. held, essentially, that claim construction is a pure question of law subject to de novo review on appeal.
The court's order allows amicus briefs to be filed without consent and leave of court. Stay tuned.

It's cold outside! Brrr!
It's cold outside! Brrr!
Victoria nominated me for the B-B-B Award, and apparently it's a pretty new one. So, here are the rules:
1.) You must make a post to show your award on your main blog.
2.) You must tag the person who nominated you in your post.
3.) You must nominate all your best buddies and those whom you want to become best buddies with, who, to your knowledge, have not been nominated, for this award.
4.) You must ask your buddies at least 15 questions on your post.
5.) You must answer all of your questions your buddies ask you – on your post.
Okay! Let's do this! Victoria's questions and my answers:
1.) Would you rather go to New England or New Zealand?
Wow! That's a tough one. I would rather go to New Zealand.
2.) If you could meet any dead person who is not an author, who would it be?
I don't know if she wrote any books, many books are written about her – Eleanor Roosevelt.
3.) If you had a time machine with which you could only go to the future, or to the past, which would you prefer?
The past.
4.) Why to the above?
The future is unknown. While there could be many blessings, there could also be serious unknown problems.
5.) Do you prefer guy singers or woman singers?
I usually prefer male singers.
6.) Favorite composer?
I don't have a favorite composer.

I do like romance. However, it needs to be clean romance and usually comedy. Romance adds a nice touch to the plot and I think everyone needs companionship.

I'm flying in a Cessna on Saturday with a friend of mine!
14.) What book/movie/TV villain would you most want to show up on your doorstep? (Or, to phrase it another way, which would you be least opposed to showing up on your doorstep?)
That is a very good question. I don't really know, however, it would need to be someone I can smack and say, "Buck up and behave yourself!"
15.) If you were to give yourself a personal title thing (e.g. the Taleweaver, the Pathfinder, etc.), what would it be?
Another good question. Keeper of the Light. Everyone needs to have the Light in their life and we all need to follow the Light.

Lynette Noni
Have a great day and have fun!!!
Where do I begin? I loved it! "Night Watch," aptly named, is well-written and at a good pace, captivating, a page turner, hard to put down and I was completely absorbed. I was so "into" this mystery, this morning, as I finished reading it, I didn't realize I so cold. I had to get our little fireplace going and brew myself a pot of hot tea to warm up.
Emmeline Ridge (Em) has been hired by a billionaire to take his luxury sea vessel from Maine to the Bahamas. The cruise ends prematurely when a young woman falls overboard into the cold Atlantic waters.
I could almost feel the rocking of the vessel on the Atlantic Ocean. I could almost feel the wind in my face, blowing my hair in every direction and the spray from the salty water soaking my already shivering body! As I read – intently focused – I was with the crew as they searched for the missing woman.
I thought the mystery was presented in such a way, the author was handing me, the reader, a clue or a piece to a puzzle. I was to examine and place the clue or the puzzle piece in the proper position. She then would give me another piece to the puzzle or a clue, I would examine it and place it in the proper order until all the pieces to the mystery were given. The puzzle then being complete, I, the reader had a clear picture of the mystery and all was solved. While I read this mystery, I took notes and made lists of the clues that had been given! It was a great read!
I liked Em Ridge. She was a good Captain and well informed with tons of experience in the water and on sea faring vessels. I also liked Ben -the detective. I look forward to the next book in this series!
A sincere thanks to the author for e-mailing her book to me, in exchange for an honest review!
This illustration is so me this cold, windy morning. I have been sitting on our comfy sofa, reading "Night Watch," by Linda Hall. It is GOOD. I'm not finished with it yet, but when I do finish it, I will write a review.
That was good! That was really good! The end! Ha ha! Seriously though, "An Impartial Witness," is the second book in the Bess Crawford Mysteries. Bess is a battlefield nurse during World War I. In this mystery she is serving in France and it is not easy for medical people serving during the war. They repair one wounded service member after another, with few breaks, little to no sleep, small amounts of food and the wounded keep coming. The war effort is well described, in this mystery. However, there is another side to war. The worry, loneliness and heartache of the wives and family members waiting for their men to return to them – wondering – will they return healthy, injured, physically changed forever?
Bess Crawford nurses a seriously burned pilot during the war. He stares at a photo of his wife, which seems to help his recovery. When Bess returns to London, unexpectedly she sees the wife of the pilot at the train station. Bess recognizes her from the photo, the pilot's wife is clearly upset, and she is speaking with a man on the platform of the train station. The man gets on the train and leaves and the pilot's wife disappears into London. Later Bess discovers, the pilot's wife has been murdered. In a newspaper, Scotland Yard is asking for help with this mysterious murder. Bess Crawford shares what she saw at the train station with Scotland Yard and becomes heavily involved in solving this mystery.
Well-written! It grabbed my attention and held it. I had difficulty putting the book down.
"The seas have lifted up, O Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea –
the Lord on high is mighty."
After several days, it was slow going in the beginning, I finished reading, "Far From the Maddening Crowd," by Thomas Hardy. In the first pages of the book, I had some difficulty with the author's style of writing, I thought it was slow and difficult to understand. At times I found myself talking to the book! I would ask the story, "What are you talking about?" I almost quit reading it a few times, however, I persevered and I am glad I did. I liked it!
Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury – to farm. That's right, she is the mistress of her own farm. I read somewhere, the year is 1874, so it might be a little unusual for a woman to own and operate a farm. She does very well. There are three men who want Miss Bathsheba. Mr. Boldwood is the gentlemen farmer. Gabriel Oak is the likable shepherd and my favorite character. And, lastly, the soldier, Sergeant Troy. What a well described mess! Heartache, suffering! I like this picture I included from pinterest. I think it reveals all!
Anyway, I enjoyed reading about rural life and I thought Mr. Hardy did a wonderful job describing life on a farm in Weatherbury. His descriptions of landscapes were well done. When all is said and done, I thought he wrote an enjoyable and interesting book.

Dust off those old picture books and put them to use!
Remember all of those old board books and picture books you read to your children when they were 1 to 2 years old? Break them out and put them to use again.
Lots of picture books have themes that you can use for your own French lessons. Perhaps you can find one for shapes, colors, opposites, etc. And then make a lesson with that book as the basis.
If you are learning French along with your child, you can have a little cheat sheet with the words in French. They'll never know and if they do know, they won't care.
I think having your children see the pictures as they learn new words will help them to remember the words more. And you will put those old books to good use again!


text: Regardless of which team enthusiasts have aligned themselves with, it's simply not a great time to cheerlead, according to ExtremeTech, which has published an opinion piece alleging both green and red have failed to deliver. While AMD and NVIDIA's products may be technically admirable, the conundrum is price-to-performance: nobody expected the latter to impress on that front, but now that the former's Radeon VII has matched "the RTX 2080's bad price," many have conceded to the idea of the market being "stuck in an unwelcome position." There are two ways to read the current situation. One argues that the current less-than-inspiring crop of GPU architectures from AMD and Nvidia is an oddity. AMD has been operating on a shoestring budget until quite recently, with limited resources to pour into new GPUs. Nvidia may have misread the crypto market. Put the two together, and you have an awkward transition that doesn't inspire anyone but ultimately doesn't have much influence over the long-term evolution of the GPU market either. Fast forward 18 months and the market may look much more like its historical trend line.

You will never know everything about real estate investing. There's an infinite number of small tips you can learn to make the process of buying real estate easier and more lucrative. No matter how experienced you are, there's always something new for you to learn about. The following article will give you the information you need when buying real estate.
Get data on your local housing market. Give City-data.com a visit or any other sites like it so you can learn about the average housing prices, number of foreclosures and other relevant market conditions within a 15 mile radius. You can also learn about local employers, unemployment rates, and income levels. Very rarely can an extremely nice property outweigh an the impact of an area that has been hit hard by the economy, so be careful.
Before you finalize an offer on a house, arrange for an inspection of the property. If you don't you could wind up with a home that will need a lot of repairs. Not only are certain renovations pricy, but you may have to live somewhere else while they are being done, meaning you will have to spend more money.
The first thing to do before you even move your family or furnishings into the new house, is to buy insurance. If a tornado or earthquake strikes before you're even moved in, you'll be glad your homeowners insurance covers the damage. If you procrastinate about getting insurance, however, you might find yourself in a financial bind because you can't afford to pay for the damages to your new home or to your furniture.
You probably will not be able to find the exact property you want so learn to be flexible. Sometimes you must choose between two major features if the price of having both falls outside of your price range. You may not be able to find your dream home in your dream neighborhood. However, you may be able to find your dream home elsewhere, or another home in your dream community.
Prior to making the final decision to purchase a particular home, you should thoroughly research the neighborhood that it is located in. If the neighborhood isn't any good, then you will be miserable, even if the property itself is fine. You must be aware of your surroundings so that you know what possible issues could arise.
Real Estate
From the information laid out here, you have probably learned something that you can benefit from when you are purchasing real estate. Many people believe that there is karma in real estate, so a good deed for a friend could someday come back to reward you.

What catches your attention first is a big clue to understand your personality and behavior. See the image and the first thing you see will reveal the mysteries within you.
The tree being the most focused motif in the image, many people might notice it first. It shows that you have practical approach to life and think wisely before taking any decisions. You have exceptional leadership qualities but you lack guidance.
You lack spontaneity which closes many doors for you, so learn to do what your heart says to live life to the fullest. Your careful ways are good for professional life but it may affect your emotional growth and will prevent you from doing what you truly wish to do.
This is a sign for low self-esteem. You are too hard on yourself and failures make you lose confidence greatly. You are constantly trying to improve yourself, learning new things, and you possess an understanding far superior than others.
Learn to take others' opinions into consideration because they aren't always wrong. Also make sure your good qualities don't become subject to boasting.
This sign shows that you are wild and free. You are spontaneous which leads to a very fun upbeat life but also you often end up hurting others and coming across as thoughtless. You are a trendsetter and refuse to listen to others.
You are willing to learn from your own mistakes. With a little more focus, you are capable of reaching great heights. Be a bit more open and considerate.
The fish in this image is most difficult to notice which shows your personality completely. You are loving and caring and enjoy hanging out with people.

Who doesn't love a fitness success story? Jennifer Atkin is one of many, but hers has a sad-yet-triumphant twist: Her fiancé Tom ended their engagement because she was overweight.
Not only did Jennifer dodge a bullet by moving on without him, but she became even better. After hitting the gym and working hard on a healthy diet, she traded up for sexy.
10. Not 'Til Death Do Us Part
'Til death do us part, right? Wrong.
At 24 years old, Jennifer Atkin weighed 243 pounds and admitted that she was a size 22 couch potato. An unhealthy diet, very little physical activity, and the stress of modern life all contributed to her weight gain.
Weddings are difficult to plan, of course…
9. Calling It Quits
So, naturally, Jennifer found comfort and relaxation by enjoying her favorite foods. The cycle of stress is difficult to break, especially when you've got to balance a busy schedule with a relationship and so much more.
Her fiancé must have planned on spending his life with Jennifer, but that soon changed.
8. Recover And Rebuild
In the middle of planning her dream wedding, Jennifer's fiancé Tom called the engagement off. She was blindsided and remembers crying for days. It took time, of course, for her to rebuild.
Her birthday soon arrived, and as she blew out her candles, she wished for a change in her life.
7. Getting Healthy And Fit
Jennifer knew that she needed to lose weight and regain a healthy lifestyle in order to really create happiness in her world. As you can see here, that's exactly what she did.
After reigning in her fatty fast-food diet and trading up for healthier foods, she incorporated regular time at the gym.
6. Dropping Over A Hundred Pounds
It wasn't long until her fresh attitude and new outlook began to take full effect. It took lots of hard work, but Jennifer eventually shed 110 pounds and dropped from a size 22 to a size 10.
(That's almost equivalent to losing the weight of a whole adult person!)

Australian cotton's myBMP environmental program
- The widespread adoption of the myBMP (Best Management Practices) program has helped to deliver a responsible Australia cotton industry which is regarded as maintaining the world's best practices and is seen as a model for change by other sectors of Australian agriculture
- myBMP is a farm and environmental management system for cotton growers to ensure that Australian cotton is produced according to best practice
- The original BMP program began in 1997 and was reviewed and redeveloped in 2006-07. The current online system re-launched in 2010 as myBMP
- myBMP allows growers and industry to access the latest technical data and research, find solutions to challenges and provides practical tools to help growers operate at maximum efficiency
- There are many benefits to the cotton industry's commitment to responsible production through myBMP. These include safer farm workplaces, healthier natural environments, reduced input costs, better run farm businesses and improved community health
- myBMP assists cotton growers to keep pesticide use to a minimum, control weeds and diseases, maximise water use efficiency, improve soil health, protect and retain native animals and vegetation
Cotton farmers assess, document, monitor and are audited in 11 key areas of farm operations:
- Biosecurity – for prevention, management and control of pests and diseases
- Biotechnology – adherence to the requirements of genetically modified cotton varieties
- Energy and Input Efficiency - for more efficient energy inputs such as electricity and fuel
- Fibre Quality - for growing the best quality cotton possible
- Human Resources and Work Health and Safety - helps growers manage employees and contractors whilst providing a safe and compliant workplace
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - for management of pests, weeds and diseases
- Natural Assets - for managing soil, water and biodiversity on farm
- Pesticide Management - for all aspects of pesticide management, storage and use on farm
- Petrochemical Storage and Handling - for managing fuels and lubricants on farm
- Soil Health - for maintaining and/or improving soil quality and crop nutrition
- Water Management - covering water quality, efficiency of storage and distribution for both dryland and irrigated farming practices
- Practical examples of myBMP include using natural techniques (like pupae busting) and softer chemicals to target particular pests, tail water recycling, crop rotations and stubble retention to improve soil health and retain soil moisture and irrigation scheduling and monitoring tools to limit water usage
- Cotton Australia's 'Cotton to Market' program was established to create confidence to use cotton in the textile supply chain, position Australian cotton in a future that demands responsibly-produced cotton and create value for Australia's cotton growers. In 2014, Cotton Australia signed a landmark agreement with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) on behalf of Australia's cotton industry. The agreement transfers a BCI licence to Australian cotton produced under myBMP certification and this agreement allows Australian cotton growers to participate more easily in that expanding market

VIDEO: Marvel Gives an Ant-Sized Look at Ant-Man Trailer, Debuts January 6th During Agent Carter
Marvel Studios have generously given us our first look at footage from their upcoming Ant-Man trailer! Hit the jump...
It's been speculated for a while and Marvel Studios has made it official: our first look at Peyton Reed's Ant-Man will come during the Agent Carter 2-hour series premier on January 6th!
What you're about to watch is the real teaser released by Marvel Studios..don't shoot the messenger!
Now I have no idea what just went on in there, but I love the fact that Marvel is having fun with this and I feel like the trailer itself will likely put off a fun vibe. There was a reason they were looking for writers and directors with comedic sensibilities for this film. While I don't expect it to be a full-blown comedy, it will certainly be an enjoyable film.

What Are the Causes of Nerve Pain & Spasms?
Nerve pain and spasms can occur in any area of the body and commonly originate in the back due to disorders of the spinal cord, vertebral column and related structures, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Back pain can be caused by damage or injury to the bones, muscles, ligaments and nerves of the back. The intervertebral disks of the spinal column can degenerate due to mechanical stress and strain, wear and tear, and disease. UMMC notes that nerve pain and spasms can occur in the lower and upper back, neck, buttocks and thighs. Spinal degeneration can lead to compressed and damaged nerves, causing chronic radiating and referred pain. Several conditions can cause degenerative nerve pain and muscle spasms.
The sciatic nerve in the lower back is the widest and longest nerve in the body and extends from the lower spine through the thighs and down the legs. According to MayoClinic.com, sciatic nerve pain occurs when this nerve becomes compressed or damaged due to muscle or spinal injury or strain. Symptoms include radiating pain; weakness; numbness; tingling; and muscle spasms in the lower back, buttocks, thighs and legs. Treatment for sciatic nerve pain includes physical therapy exercises and pain relievers.
Nerve-related back problems are also the result of inflammation in the joints of the spine due to rheumatoid arthritis, spinal myelopathy, age-related wear and tear, or injury. This can lead to damage to the nerves between the vertebrae, which can cause nerve pain and muscle spasms in the back and other areas of the body. A study published in the January 2003 issue of "The Spine Journal" recommends anti-inflammatory medications and low-impact physical therapy for the back to reduce the pain and damage of inflammation.
Spondylosis, or spinal osteoarthritis, causes nerve pain and muscle spasms due to degeneration of the spine. SpineUniverse.com explains that spondylosis is a degenerative spinal disease that occurs due to aging or autoimmune issues. Symptoms commonly affect the lower back. In severe cases, nerve damage can occur, leading to loss of sensation and function.

"Instead of investing to rebuild our manufacturing base, the U.S. government is now spending 1 trillion dollars annually to maintain military bases around the world and fund wars like Iraq and Afghanistan."
The Dow Jones is up over 75% since it's low in March of 2009. Oil is up over 90% from it's low in February 2009. Copper is up 200% from it's low in December 2008.
Prices for almost all stocks and commodities have been going through the roof, having analysts on wallstreet proclaiming the recession is over and an economic recovery is here.
But how could an economic recovery be here if unemployment is still at a multi-decade high over 17%.
The Truth is our economy is not recovering. Prices are only rising due to INFLATION.
The federal reserve has held interest rates at 0% for way to long. Our financial system has been flooded with trillions of dollars in newly printed money. Those who have had access to the FEDS newly printed money have done well this past year. This is why Wallstreet paid out record bonuses.
This has come at the expense of the rest of America becoming dependant on unemployment checks and foodstamps.
There are now over 40 million Americans on food stamps, up 22% over the last year. Food stamp usage has now increased for almost 2 years. In 2009 Americans received over 2.1 trillion dollars from the government in the form of transfer payments, which equals the 2.1 trillion dollars the citizens paid in taxes.
In 2010, the government paid out more in benefits then they received in taxes and the US budget deficit started to fall out of control. (if Americans were taxed 100% of their income, it would not be enough to balance the budget)
When medicare was created in 1966 it cost 3 billion dollars per year, and they estimated the cost would rise to 12 billion a year in 1990. The actual cost of medicare in 1990 was 107 billion dollars. (792% more than projected) Today it costs 408 billion dollars anually.
In 2003, at the beginning of the Iraq war the white house estimated the war would have a total cost of 50-60 billion dollars. In reality, it has already cost over 720 billion dollars. (Over 1000% more than projected)
The congressional budget office is projecting that the recently passed health-care bill will cost over 940 billion dollars over the next ten years. If history is any indication, the actual cost of the health-care bill over the next decade will be many trillion dollars. (making it the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy)
Our economy has stayed afloat until now due to the U.S. dollar status as the worlds reserve currency and our ability to borrow an endless amount of money from China. For many years the U.S. has been able to convince the Chinese to roll over their maturing U.S. treasuries plus interest into large amounts of new ones. However, China has now reduced their U.S. treasury holdings and the U.S. is now calling them currency manipulators.
China has manipulated their currency by pegging it to the U.S. dollar, but it's their currency peg that has allowed Americans to maintain their phony standard of living for so long. If China listens to U.S. politicians and allows their currency to strengthen, Americans will no longer be able to afford cheap imports from China. U.S. politicians want China's currency to strengthen because they believe it will decrease our trade deficit. (sure, our trade deficit would shrink from Americans importing less from China, but it wont have the desired effect of increasing U.S. exports)
Years ago America had companies like RCA and Zenith that produced televisions, but today there are no television manufacturers left.
In 1910 70% of U.S. womens clothing, and 40% of U.S. mens clothing was produced in New York. Today, the textile industry in New York is non-existent, and 35% of clothing purchased in the U.S. is imported from China.
Instead of investing to rebuild our manufacturing base, the U.S. government is now spending 1 trillion dollars annually to maintain military bases around the world and fund wars like Iraq and Afghanistan...

Spider Identification
House spider
As their name suggests, house spiders are the most common species of spider to invade homes and other dwellings. House spiders are a nuisance species of spider. They do not pose a threat to people but can become quite annoying in a home as they build and abandon many webs in an attempt to catch prey. Female house spiders are larger in size than males; adults range in size from 1/8th to 5/16th of an inch in length. They are yellowish brown in color with darker chevron markings; their abdomen is a whitish color.
Wolf spider
Despite their large size and intimidating appearance wolf spiders are a harmless species. Adults can range in size from ¼ – 1 3/8th of an inch in length with females being larger than the males. Wolf spiders have spiny long legs and are dark brown in color with tan or yellow stripes or other markings on their stout body. Wolf spiders don't build webs – outside they live in burrows; inside they live in dark hard to reach areas. Wolf spiders run very quickly and chase their prey inside catching them in webs.
Black widow spider
Black widow spiders are a poisonous species of spider, and despite what people may think they are not aggressive by nature. They are actually very shy. Most bites occur accidentally when a person unknowingly handles one or when the spider is squished in clothing or shoes. They are shiny black in color and known for their distinctive red hourglass shape that can be found under their abdomen. Black widow spiders are 1 ½ – 1 3/8th of an inch in length and have a "round" body shape. The venom from the black widow spider affects the nervous system of their victim.
Brown recluse spider
Brown recluse spiders are another species of poisonous spider that are not aggressive by nature, and as their name suggests are quite reclusive. They spin irregular shaped webs, not to catch prey in, but to rest in. Brown recluse spiders are dark brown in color with a violin-like marking on their back. They range in size from ¼- ½ of an inch. The venom from a brown recluse spider causes the tissue around the bite to ulcerate. The ulcerated tissue is very prone to infection, and the wound can take months to heal.
Dangers Associated With Spiders
Although most spiders in New Jersey are harmless, there are poisonous species that can invade homes, garages, sheds, and other outbuildings. Along with being potentially dangerous, spiders are a nuisance.
Spider Prevention
Preventing a spider infestation is important because while most spider species that you come into contact with are harmless, there are some that are not. They can also take over the dark corners of your home, leave unsightly webs throughout, and be difficult to find and get rid of.
Spider prevention tips:
- Seal cracks and crevices in the buildings foundation.
- Install door sweeps under all exterior doors.
- Caulk any gaps found around windows and doors.
- Repair or replace damaged screens in windows and doors.
- Keep clutter to a minimum in storage areas.
- Close-up outbuildings after you are done working in them.
- Before putting on clothing or shoes shake them out to dislodge any hiding spiders.
Spider Treatment
When living outdoors, spiders are very beneficial. They feed on nuisance insects and keep their populations down. However, when living in your home they need to be eliminated. The best way to accomplish this is with the help of a spider control expert.
The professionals at ChemTec will be able to find, identify, and eliminate any spiders that have decided to call your home their home. We can then provide year-round control services to prevent future problems with spiders and other common household pests.

Arthritis Foundation Continues to Monitor Health Benefits
As part of our commitment to ensure people with arthritis have access to the treatments they need, the Arthritis Foundation continues to monitor the coverage and policies of major insurers and pharmacy services. We recently followed up with leadership at Express Scripts regarding the formulary changes they put in place at the beginning of 2014 Read more here. Express Scripts reports generally positive responses from plan sponsors (typically employers), physicians and patients, with out-of-pocket expenses remaining about the same as before the changes. The response, in part:
"…patients who were already receiving specific arthritis medications in 2013, continue to access those drugs at a discounted price in 2014. [Their] medication access and out-of-pocket expenditures have generally remained the same. For new patients, Express Scripts works with them and their health care provider to identify medically reasonable alternatives (typically Enbrel and Humira). If, for whatever reason, there is a medically necessary reason to access an excluded drug, physicians work directly with Express Scripts via our formulary exceptions and appeals processes. Based on our 2014 experience, the preferred alternatives have been well received for the vast majority of patients."
Help us help you by letting us know your experience in accessing the treatments you need. Have you experienced barriers from your insurer or pharmacy provider? We want to hear your stories – good or bad! Contact us at email@example.com. Please put "Access to Treatment" in the subject line.

Gorgeous and mad in the same time, 1979 Ford Bronco doing wheelie and also showing their Character . These are iconic trucks that launched a new era of design and performance for offroad enthusiasts. This 1979 Ford Bronco is wheeling down the road. It looks that that scene in Fast and Furious where Vin Diesel punches it and wheelies down the road. It's no surprise then that people are still working on tuning and modifying these in 2015. The sky's the limit when you go high-profile with your truck or SUV! The Skyjacker Complete Lift Kit pushes ground clearance and aggressive looks to new heights, letting you conquer on or off-road obstacles with confidence.First, they lifted this bronco sky high on 54 inch mudding tires and built the truck up to handle the abuse of mudding. Things got serious however when they dropped in a Ford Big Block engine. The engine was installed with custom mounts from Bronco Grave Yard made for installing a 460 ci big-block into this model Bronco.
I just came across a video series by Willys Garage Norway showing the process of swapping from a 351 ci to a 460 ci big-block in a 1979 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger.
To make your 1979 Ford Bronco perform better, you can equip it with high performance Ford Bronco parts that can be easily found here at wild horses. Here on our web site, we maintain a complete and comprehensive online catalog of Ford Bronco mechanical and body parts. With our premium auto parts, we can assure you that your Ford Bronco will perform even better.The 1978 and 1979 Broncos also merged the rear glass hatch and tailgate of its predecessor into a single unit that allowed the rear glass panel to retract completely into the tailgate by use of an electric motor controlled by a key-operated switch on the tailgate's outside or a dash-mounted control switch.
