Eversheds partner cleared of potential discrimination
Readers' comments (40)
Something tells me that the 'Shed's reputation as a terrible recruiter / employer wont be salvaged one smidge.
@ National Rival
Grow up
The usual prissy response - "Eversheds does not condone any kind of discrimination or behaviour which is counter to our extensive equality and diversity polices."
Have they no idea how false this sounds? It's as though it's been generated by a computer.
Some might think she'd had a lucky escape.
Reading the story on the other website, this email appears to have been a private email sent to two Heads of Department (i.e. in a managerial position) and marked "private". Quite how it has seen the light of day says more about whoever leaked it to the legal press than it does about this message. I think we can all guess who that was. Tittle tattle of the most puerile order.
Oh it's all a riddled with hypocrisy from top to bottom. Eversheds won an Equality award from the Law Society in 2008 and it has been reported here how they are at the vanguard of monitoring Equality. But it's all just a barrell load of tosh as long as attitudes like this persist. It's like a bunch of Jesuit Brothers handling out awards for Kindness to Children.
And then I turn to your Hot 100. If I flick through the pages for Private Practice and The Bar I see a 3:2 ratio of men to women (a fair reflection of the sample pool, I guess) but nary a face that is not whiter than White White McWhite's , Professor of White at White University.
Cant, cant and more cant.
To say that "Eversheds does not condone any kind of discrimination" is ridiculous. Discrimination is discernment. No solicitor could make professional judgements without discriminating. Unlawful discrimination in employment on grounds of sex is quite a different matter and indefensible.
I feel sorry for Dutson, though. He was only asking for guidance on how to handle the interview. I'm sure many of us would find it a little tricky.
Why is Stuart Dutson no longer on Eversheds website?
This resonates with Franz Kafka's unsuccessful attempts to enter "The Castle" and the subsequent moral vacillation demonstrated in Dostoevsky's "Notes from the Underground." In both examples, it is universally understood that "truth" manifests 'outside the box.' Yet, in the instant case, Mr. Dutson's perception 'whilst upon his throne' from 'inside the box' demonstrates an inability to correlate truth with the facts. It is submitted that the candidate was invited to the firm because certain benchmarks were achieved aligned with the firm's hiring criteria. If these achievements were realized continuously with new motherhood, then it can be inferred that the candidate is either a fantastic time manager, acclimates to tremendous responsibility, maintains sufficient family support or adopts a combination of all. If a consensus were taken, it may deduce that this type of candidate is not only resourceful but also a candidate of choice. However (unless facts prove to the contrary) the query respecting the candidate's proposed inability 'to balance work and child' does not appear to be problem. The fundamental issue is that the firm wants to maintain "exclusive possession" or an "outright ownership" over the candidate's life and Mr. Dutson's 'notice' of the child is not dissimilar to a purchaser being made aware of an overriding interest for which he may be bound. Thus, the question begs as to whether or not Mr. Dutson can maintain a work life balance now that this competing interest has conjured a false perception of his diminished power and control.
To my learned and honored colleagues my opinion and remedy would be thus: Mr. Dutson should immediately remove himself from 'inside the box' until such time as he gains some common sense, garners a 'reality check' and warmth returns to the cockles of his heart. The alternative remedy would be to take "two chill pills" twice daily and go to the pub immediately to devise a plan as to how he shall refrain from manipulation (in massive doses) in order to give rise to a more actualized management style. —Group hug, now let's crack on, shall we
Respectfully submitted,
You slightly undermine your point by ripping off my 20 year old material.
It seems he couldn't do right for wrong - he raised a question to make sure he wasn't doing anything wrong and he still gets accused of discrimination for even asking the question. It is more of an indictment of the climate of fear and the hysteria that permeates the politically correct society of the UK. And no, I am not at Eversheds. I am not even in the UK, thank God.

Lone Peak star guard T.J. Haws threw his hands in the air as he strode toward the Knights' bench, summoning an uproar from the fans in the stands, who rose and acknowledged they were witnessing something special.
Haws was walking off the court for the last time as a Knight and his face reddened with fiery emotion. He lifted four fingers and flashed them.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"Four, baby!" he yelled.
Haws just had turned in one final superlative performance in a career littered with them to lead Lone Peak to history - its fourth straight state title, something no Utah team had ever done - with an 84-66 win over Pleasant Grove Saturday in the Class 5A state championship game at the Huntsman Center.
"We made history, man," said Haws, who finished with a game-high 29 points. "We've been chasing history all year. This feels so good."
The latest championship run for the Knights hadn't come quite as easily as some of the others. There had been the double-overtime win over Bingham in the quarterfinals. A nailbiter against Davis in the semis had followed. Doubts about whether the Knights had enough in them for another title sprang up around them.
"We used that as motivation," Haws said.
But the Knights turned in an overwhelming performance when tip-off came in the biggest game of their season, like they so often have while dominating Utah basketball the last four seasons.
And it wasn't just Haws leading the Knights, who broke open a 47-29 halftime lead. Zach Frampton, who has received little attention beneath the spotlight of Haws and star guard Frank Jackson, had 21 first-half points and a barrage of late 3s in the half.
"You don't expect him to have 21 points in the first half," Knights coach Quincy Lewis said. "But it's not surprising to see him have this kind of a game, based on what his experience is."
The second half belonged to Haws. He had his sights set on the only thing that still eluded him after four years during which he's become one of the most storied high school athletes in state history - the four-peat. The senior dazzled in the final 16 minutes, hitting long 3s from all over the court.
"What he did in this game, that's what greatness is all about," Lewis said. "What he did against Bingham [42 points], that's what greatness is all about. What he's doing here is very unusual."
While Haws had been a champion three times before, it was Jackson's first time. But the sophomore BYU commit didn't hesitate when pondering whether it might be his last time - whether the Knights' dynasty might have finally reached its zenith.
"We're going to keep going," Jackson said. "Every year this is our goal. This is our goal in practice, and everything we do, we work hard in the offseason, during the season. This is our ultimate goal."

For the first time in 43 years
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Trevecca Nazarene University's 2013 baseball team will be the first Trojan team to play under the lights on its home field since the start of the baseball program in 1971. Trevecca athletic director Mark Elliott announced that contracts have been signed for lights to be installed at Jackson Field this winter. The team will play several games under the lights in the spring of 2013.
TNU Trojans - Lights Announcement Video
The University has planned a special night of celebration and recognition for Friday, April 19, at Jackson Field, when the Trojans host Urbana University in a G-MAC double-header. That celebration will include special recognition of persons who have played significant roles in the history of Trevecca baseball. The University invites alumni of the baseball program—both players and coaches—and supporters of this program throughout its 43-year history of the program to attend this special night.
The campaign to raise funds for lights was most recently reinvigorated during the tenure of former Trevecca coach Chris Collins. Harold McCue, the former Trevecca vice president of university advancement, Rick Underwood, Trevecca's senior stewardship officer/director of planned giving, and members of Trevecca's athletic supporters in the T-Club have provided leadership for that effort. If you would like to assist the baseball program in its effort to complete the funding of the new lights, go to www.trevecca.edu/Give and designate your gift for the baseball lights project.
The addition of lights to the baseball field is one change taking place at Trevecca as the University moves toward NCAA Division-ll status. In July of 2011, the NCAA accepted Trevecca's application to begin the three-year process of moving to full membership at the NCAA Division-ll level. Part of that process was Trevecca's move to a new conference. In December of 2011, Trevecca joined the newly formed Great Midwest Athletic Conference, and in July of this year the NCAA approved Trevecca's move to year-two candidacy status.
Trevecca president Dan Boone envisions the lighting of the baseball field as another opportunity for people to gather on the Trevecca campus. "Lighting the baseball field enables Trevecca to accomplish three significant goals: support the academic success of our baseball players by enabling them to miss fewer day classes, provide community night life for the entire Trevecca neighborhood, and host area events for the up-and-coming baseball players of Nashville. It is a high priority for me to invite the community to help us fund this intuitive," Boone said.
"The history behind this day is well-documented and a long time coming," explained Mark Elliott, athletic director. "Many people who believe in this University and its athletic mission contributed to the culmination of this dream. Much credit for this accomplishment goes to President Boone, an avid supporter of athletics who earnestly wanted this endeavor to be completed. Also, the leadership of David Caldwell, executive vice president for finance and administration, for this project and the support of the entire campus is a modern-day example of Nehemiah's restoration. Finally, Trevecca's baseball family, both alumni and supporters, stayed dedicated to the vision that one day, Trevecca would play under the lights. If you want to know what it's like to be a part of the Trevecca family, this is it. Oh, by the way, stay tuned, see what's coming next!"
For Trevecca baseball coach Ryan Schmalz, lighting the field will add more to the baseball program than simply adding night baseball games on campus. "The lighted baseball field is a culmination of many things for the baseball program. It represents a huge commitment by the University to the athletics department as it transitions to the NCAA. It is also a celebration of the enormous effort made by so many people. Previous coaches, players, administrators, and supporters of Trevecca have worked to make this improvement happen. In particular, President Boone, Rick Underwood, Mark Elliott, David Caldwell, Harold McCue, and Glen Linthicum deserve a lot of recognition for this project."
Schmalz continued, "The lights allow flexibility for our program. Players get to stay in class longer, parents and fans are now able to attend night games after work hours, and the overall atmosphere of games will be greatly enhanced. A lighted field also makes Trevecca a premier venue to host high school, college, and summer baseball events."
Bill Green, Trevecca's first baseball coach, was ecstatic when he heard the news: "What a day! This announcement brings the baseball facility into the modern era. The lighted field opens many doors of opportunity for more fans and better opponents as well as additional opportunities to bring prospects to the campus. Now Trevecca baseball is on the same playing level or above other facilities. The Bible says some plant, some water, and some reap. All former coaches have had a hand in developing the facilities to this point, and now coach Schmalz can take it from here, and we'll all be very proud.
The lighting system, which will have eight poles, will provide lighting levels which will exceed NCAA best-practice standards and meet those of Triple-A baseball. The lighting, with 100-foot candles on the infield and 70 in the outfield, will allow for games to be streamed live on the Internet or broadcast on television.
The University invites baseball fans and friends of Trevecca to come to the campus in 2013 to enjoy baseball games under the lights and to be part of the April 19 celebration event on Jackson Field, when Bill Green and Trevecca baseball alumni will be honored.
History of Jackson Field
The history of Jackson Field began when a female friend of Trevecca, whose name was Jackson, loaned the University $4000 to buy the land for a baseball field. Ms. Jackson stipulated that if the loan was not paid off before she died it would be a gift to the college. Therefore, when she died before the loan was paid back, the field was named Jackson Field.
Members of Trevecca's first baseball team spent their first year picking up rocks on the field, preparing it for play. Bill Green, Trevecca's first baseball coach, and the first team played the first season of games at the former Tennessee Preparatory School ((TPS) and at Shelby Park. Once the team began playing at Jackson Field, the team sat on wooden benches during the early years with no dugout, and the first fence was installed four years later, in 1975.
In the years following, each coaching team made improvements to the playing surface and facility. Elliot Johnson worked with David Deese, communication instructor and the then-manager of Trevecca's radio stations, to build the current press box over the home dugout. Later the dugout was made into a walk-in dugout. Concrete bleachers from Vanderbilt were installed and Coach Johnson and his sons installed the underground sprinkler system. Johnson also purchased the first tarp to cover the field. In the Dave Altopp era a new baseball fence was built, a concrete outdoor batting cage was added to the first-base side of the field, and thehome and visiting bullpen areas were improved. Ryan Gray rebuilt the bullpens, renovated the indoor hitting facility and press box, and added stadium click effects software for game music and atmosphere. Other additions during Gray's tenure included a new equipment shed, a flag pole beyond center field, two pitching machines, base screens, L screen, a gator, reel mower, roll-up batting practice turtle, and field tarp. Jeff Forehand worked to create a "college atmosphere" on the field and facility. Forehand and his staff created a warning track with red rock, sodded the baselines, painted bleachers, built new dugout benches, and upgraded the irrigation system. Other facility improvements included the following: the addition of a cinder-block wall behind home plate, the hanging of netting from dugout to dugout over the cinder black wall, and in order to make the field more pitcher-friendly, the moving of the outfield fence and the addition of a large net to the wall. Forehand and his crew added to the feel of the park with a deck in and around the seating area from dugout-to-dugout.
Recent coaches also added improvements, Chris Collins, who followed Forehand, oversaw the addition of shrubs, mulch, and trees; the pouring of concrete and the addition of a soft-toss area around the hitting cage down the right field line; the purchase of new nine-inning score board and its installation in right center field for easy viewing; and the addition of a flag pavilion in right center field, which flies the American, Tennessee, and Trevecca flags. Jonathan Burton carried on the momentum by completely gutting both dugouts and the press box and bringing them to modern standards, with new carpet, windows, drywall, and heat and air. Under Burton, each dugout received padded safety railings with protective netting to expand the walk around area; a concrete floor was added to this expanded area; laser work was performed on the field, and the infield was sodded; a new field turf area was added to the foul area from third base to first base and included a new Trojan head logo behind home plate; chairback seats, acquired from Warner Athletics and Southern Athletic Fields, were installed (The seats from Southern Ahtletic Fields were refurbished seats from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.); and a new bullpen storage area was built. Mike Lord added much-needed trees along the fence line by the trucking company to improve the field's appearance and to save a few foul balls.

How to store a password hash on Windows Phone
This tip shows how to store a password hash value and use it for authentication of entered passwords. This is more secure than storing the password itself.
Applications that use login authentication should not store the application password directly, because the app's data may not be secure on the phone or backed up to a server/desktop. We've seen many successful attempts to acquire password lists by SQL injection break-ins, for example.
A better approach is to calculate a hash value for the password using a one-way function, and store this instead. This is compared to the hash values of user entered passwords afterwards in order to grant access to the application. Because it is calculated using a one-way function (that is very simple to calculate but very expensive to revert), even if a hacker can get the hash value they cannot use it to determine the password and access the app.
The ComputeHash function in the System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256Managed class uses a SHA 256-bit algorithm to compute the hash value. The GetHashCode() function below creates a hash of a string using SHA256Managed. It can be used to calculate both the hash value of the entered password to store, and the hash of password values entered by the user for comparison.

Mayor outlines 'City of Parks' progress
Monday June 13, 2005
Mayor: Louisville on the Path to 'City of Parks' Vision
60 Park-Improvement Projects to Begin; $11.8 million Raised for New Park Land Acquisition
LOUISVILLE (June 13, 2005) – Mayor Jerry Abramson says Louisville is well on its way to becoming a "City of Parks."
At a news conference today at Shelby Park, Abramson outlined some 60 park-improvement projects set to begin, and announced that more than $11.8 million in private funding has been raised toward a $20 million fund proposed to acquire thousands of acres of new park land for the community.
David Jones, Humana Inc. co-founder, is leading the private fundraising effort through the nonprofit organization 21st Century Parks.
"Thanks to the leadership of David Jones, we're more than halfway there," Abramson said. "I continue to be amazed at how Mr. Jones has embraced this project, and has been able to effectively share with others our vision for a grand City of Parks."
Abramson recommended a $1 million contribution of public funds in his proposed Louisville Metro budget to support the private fundraising effort for land acquisition.
"We have a window of opportunity to preserve land and create a legacy of quality parks for our children and for generations to come," Abramson said.
In February, Abramson announced the City of Parks initiative, a far-reaching "greenprint" for Louisville. The multi-year effort includes a 100-mile hiking and bicycling trail around Louisville's perimeter, a major upgrade of the city's existing parks, and the addition of at least 3,000 acres of park land in the Floyds Fork watershed – including the development of three or four new parks roughly the size of Cherokee Park.
Jones said his fundraising efforts have received a positive response.
"People are tremendously excited about the scope and the breadth of this endeavor, and what it will mean for the future of our community," he said. "I'm pleased with the results thus far and am confident that we'll reach our $20 million goal."
60 park improvements set to begin
The mayor said that the city has more than $4.6 million in improvement projects at 60 parks underway or set to begin this summer.
"In creating our City of Parks, we must continue and build upon the Olmsted tradition of excellent parks and parkways that exist inside the Watterson Expressway, and extend that vision to the rapidly developing areas outside the Watterson," Abramson said.
The improvement projects are at parks across Louisville, including $510,000 in athletic-complex enhancements at Fern Creek Park, $122,000 in shelter and site improvements at Hounz Lane Park, and several playground and basketball court replacements.
One of the larger improvement projects is the $1.1 million in improvements at Shelby Park in Smoketown. It is the first phase of an Olmsted Parks Conservancy restoration project, and will include a new bandstand and concert grove, upgraded restrooms, relocated basketball court with new seating, and new walkways with trees, pathway lighting and benches. The Olmsted Parks Conservancy contributed $220,000 in funding to the project.
Abramson said that since the merger of Louisville and Jefferson County governments, Metro Parks has completed 87 capital improvement projects totaling $17 million in investment in existing parks.

does anyone think it matters that one of hubby's best friend's name is Aaron?
I can't separate the name from his friend- he's a good guy, etc, it's just that I think of him when I hear the name. Otherwise it is one of my favorites. I'm also just afraid Simon sounds too stuffy
I'm sort of a mess still about this name. Elijah sounds so nice, it's one of my top picks at the moment.
anyways, thanks so much for the opinions, I love any help!

Hmm. I think I'd hesitate to use the name of a close friend. Do you guys live near Aaron, or is he long-distance? I think if he's not someone you see often it would make me more willing to use it.
A friend of mine has a baby named Simon who is about 8 months old, so it doesn't sound stuffy to me.
What are you currently thinking about Adam? It's similar in sound to Aaron, and a lot of people on this thread have responded favorably to it.Lucía, Sebastián, & Inés
Next: Eloísa Pilar or Félix Ignacio

This sermon was preached by in the Gettysburg Seminary Chapel by President Michael Cooper-White for the opening Eucharist of the spring semester, February 5, 2014. The primary text for the sermon was Jesus' "beatitudes" from Matthew 5.
One of the most popular Sherlock Holmes short stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the titular race horse (a famous winner) and on the apparent murder of its trainer on the eve of an important race. It also features some of Arthur Conan Doyle's most effective plotting, hinging on the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time:"
Scotland Yard Detective Gregory asks the famous private investigator: "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Holmes replies: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
Gregory responds: "The dog did nothing in the night-time."
Holmes concludes: "That was the curious incident."
It was the dog's silence that became the most important clue, revealing that the apparent robbery-murder crime was an inside job; the perpetrator someone whose late-night wanderings would cause no alarm to the dog.
As in Conan Doyle's famous mystery, so sometimes in Holy Scripture, it is not that which is said or written that bears the deeper meanings. Sometimes it may be in that which is not spoken or recorded that the profound impact of a text resides.
In the case of the so-called beatitudes, the "blessed are's" at the beginning of Jesus' well-known Sermon on the Mount, we have become so familiar with what is said and recorded and read regularly in the church's lectionary. But as you seek to unlock the surface significance or hidden meaning of these well-worn words of Jesus, have the tumblers ever fallen into place, has the successful "click" of the right combination ever occurred on the basis of what is not set forth?
Have you noticed, or does it now grab your attention what Jesus did not say as he began teaching his disciples and the crowds?
He did not say, for example, "Blessed are those who seek and achieve perfection in all they do." He did not declare, "Blessed are the properly pious who say their prayers and read scripture religiously at all the appointed canonical hours." In his declaration, his conferral of blessings even, our Lord did not insist, "Blessed are those who construct and conduct marvelous artistic liturgies," or "Blessed they who wear the latest clerical garb and are never caught insufficiently coiffed in any public setting."
Even more shocking to our pious, serious religious sensibilities, did you notice what else Jesus does not include in his short list of the sources of true blessedness? He does not declare, "Blessed are those who believe, trust and place their unwavering faith in God." Nor does he declare, "Blessed are those who confess the Triune faith in the words of the Apostles' and Nicene Creed!" Nor does he even seem to require the minimal mark of a Christian: "Blessed are ye who are baptized."
The blessings, in short, come not exclusively or even primarily by means of what happens in the cultic, religious life of a pious person or people. The blessings come by where a person and people are placed or place themselves in terms of their social location: the poor (in spirit and material possessions as well (in St. Luke's version); the reviled; the grief-stricken who find themselves mourning; those who are about the arduous task of making peace; those who offend or do not fit society's norms and therefore are persecuted, bullied.
"So," you ask, "do the beatitudes conflict with or even contradict a theology of justification by grace through faith?" Jesus simply does not say that the blessed estate comes by way of belief, bold confession or a prayerful posture before the Almighty. "Now wait a minute," you protest, "surely our preacher—who calls himself and is called by others Lutheran—is not advocating a form of works righteousness, suggesting that in the end we are not saved by grace through faith but rather by human effort."
You're right. I am not so suggesting; not so interpreting these beautiful pronouncements by our bountiful gracious Lord and Savior. It's not a matter of works, though I am convinced that the commitment to be about the task of peacemaking is among the more difficult work a faithful person can undertake in our violence-prone, conflict laden world today. But it's not the work; it's rather where one seeks to be before any work can even begin. It's the desired destination, not the duty delivered once we're on site.
And, we need to recognize, being blessed, being happy, feeling fulfilled is not the same as receiving the gift of salvation. We are, will be, can only be saved by the pure grace of God showered upon us mysteriously and inexplicably through the crucifixion and resurrection of God's beloved, Jesus the Christ. But we can and will be blessed by our social location among the lowly, lonely, the lost and the least. This is not just countercultural, I think; this is counter-religious. It does take us to an indescribable realm Dietrich Bonhoeffer tried to describe when he wrote of religion-less Christianity.
There's a lot of attention in the current climate to the "nones"—those who on a religious preference survey would indicate that theirs is "none at all." Were he among us today, I have a hunch that Bonhoeffer would spend a lot of time hanging out with the "nones." Rather than seeking to convert them, as appears to be the commonplace response of most Christians to the nones, I suspect Bonhoeffer might suggest we first need to be converted by those who reject simple religious answers and pious platitudes.
Embracing the beatitudes takes us to that place to which St. Paul was pointing in his exhortations to the contentious Christians in Corinth: "remember your call-stories." Be honest as you complete your Rostered Leader Profiles! In that section where it asks about your gifts and attributes for leadership within the faith community, don't write the typical: "Good preacher, strong teacher, loving pastoral care-giver, parish visitor, programmatic whiz-kid and eager evangelist." Be honest with yourself and with those call committees. Put down "not so smart; B- at best when it comes to the overall grade on spiritual gifts; mediocre or a bit less as preacher; generally uninspiring and often downright dull; definitely deficient in the charismatic quotient."
For Christians, if I understand Jesus' sayings in the beatitudes correctly, the dog that does not bark in the night is the dogmatic rigidity that draws too small a circle delineating who are the blessed insiders. The beatitudes are broadly inclusive and open-ended. The dog that does not bark in the night for the contentious Corinthians is a kind of dogged holy determination and perfectionism that leads to paralysis. "Don't wait until you can do all things perfectly," St. Paul seems to be saying. "Just get on with the work of bold witness now, despite your weaknesses or 'areas for growth' as we like to soften them in our formation lingo." "Don't just stand there waiting for greater wisdom, for more courses in preaching or biblical interpretation; just start proclaiming the good news you've known for a long, long time." "Don't sit there on your hands waiting for someone to give you the nod and indicate it's your turn to get engaged in the struggles of those who are beaten down by life or bullied by the high and mighty. Take up your cross; take up Jesus' cross, foolish stumbling block that it is, and just start stumbling along."
The dog that did not bark in the night for the prophet Micah was the critter that requires all manner of pious self-flagellation, elaborate liturgical contortions or frantic efforts to achieve self-perfection. In the end, the formula for Godly righteousness is straightforward and elegantly simple: "Yahweh has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
The dog that does not howl in the night is the one that year after year echoes down the corridors of every seminary I know; the one who cries out, "This place's menu of spiritual richness is severely lacking!" Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the poor in spirit. In SPIRIT!
If indeed, as I have suggested, being blessed, true happiness, finding fulfillment is a matter of social location, then a posture and trajectory of downward mobility is simply a must. We too must hear that same divine calling as did Father Moses and Mother Miriam, "Go down, way, way down in Egypt's land where God's beloved are oppressed and impoverished." Get down, way, way down in the murky muddled places where God's beloved are suffering. Make that hospital visit. Go to that ramshackle house out in the country where it feels like you're way beyond civilization, where your GPS stopped reading miles ago. Gear up for an internship in a place so far outside your comfort zone you fear you'll never find your way back—you might not; you might just find yourself comfortable among a new and strange kind of people! Take that first call to that parish about which even the bishop shakes her head and sighs, "oh my . . ." And you might just find that the dogs you feared so much not only don't bark in the night, but they don't even open an eye or raise a floppy ear; 'cause you've become a member of the family, an insider down there in the low and lonely places where the blessed ones sleep so soundly.

Smoked Almonds
Comment on this recipe
1-1/2 teaspoons water
1-1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 cup shelled raw almonds
Mix the water, liquid smoke and soy sauce in an 8-inch shallow glass dish or a 9- or 10-inch glass pie plate. Add the almonds to the liquid and stir them around until coated with the marinade. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let them stand several hours or overnite. Remove the plastic wrap and cover lightly with wax paper. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, cook 2 more minutes, stir, and cook 2 more minutes. You may want to cut down on the cooking time if they are too crisp (as this will depend upon the power of your microwave oven).

Just over a week left to contribute towards the £25,000 target.
Marouane Fellaini
We are closing in on the £25,000 target for Marouane Fellaini's charity challenge to turn his hair silver for Everton in the Community.
To celebrate the silver anniversary of the Blues' official charity, Fellaini has committed to turn his famous 'fro silver - if Evertonians can reach a fundraising target of £25,000 by 16 May.
With just over a week to go the fundraising total currently stands at just over £18,500, which means we need to raise another £6,500!
If the £25,000 target is reached, the Belgian international will put his iconic hair in the hands of award-winning celebrity colourist, Josh Wood, to help boost the charity's jubilee fundraising mission.
Local businesses have helped swell the coffers after an initial injection of cash from loyal Blues fans. But more donations are still required if the target is to be reached.
It's quick and simple to sponsor Fellaini. All you need to do is visit justgiving.com/fellainifro or text FELI50 with the amount that you would like to donate to 70070, e.g. FELI50 £5 to 70070.
Alternatively, fans can make a donation at Goodison Park this Sunday ahead of Everton's final home game of the season against West Ham, when Everton in the Community staff will be out in force across the Fan Zone undertaking a bucket collection.
Every penny raised will go to Everton in the Community, which is celebrating its silver jubilee this year.
To mark the anniversary the charity is inviting all Evertonians to be part of an ambitious fundraising campaign to raise £1million.
They are asking 40,000 supporters, the capacity of Goodison Park, to raise just £25 each to help achieve a target of £1million, so that they can continue their life-changing work and reach out to even more vulnerable people across Merseyside – for the next 25 years and beyond.
To help Fellaini reach his fundraising target, visit justgiving.com/fellainifro or text FELI50 with the amount that you would like to donate to 70070, e.g. FELI50 £5 to 70070.

University of Evansville sophomore forward Mallory Ladd was named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon. Ladd finished the week with a pair of double-doubles and went a perfect 19-for-19 at the free throw line.
Ladd opened the week by scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the Purple Aces' victory over Drake in Thursday's MVC opener. Ladd finished 4-for-12 from the floor and 8-for-8 at the charity stripe.
The sophomore forward capped the week by pouring in a career-high 25 points and pulling down 11 boards in UE's narrow, 70-63, loss to MVC preseason favorite Creighton Saturday evening. Ladd completed the night 6-for-12 from the field and knocked down all 11 of her attempts from the free throw line. For the week, the Evansville native averaged 20.5 points and 10.5 rebounds, and has made her last 32 free throw attempts.
Ladd, a Valparaiso transfer who became eligible to join the Aces prior to the Toledo Invite, has averaged 15.5 points and 10.5 boards per contest, and posted double-doubles in all four of her games for Evansville so far this season. She has also tallied nine assists, six steals and four blocks.
Evansville will return to action Sunday, Jan. 13, when it hosts conference foe Southern Illinois for a 1 p.m. matinee at the Ford Center.

COEUR D'ALENE--City leaders in Coeur d'Alene approved several new stages of the McEuen Park overhaul Thursday, but one part of that multi-million dollar upgrade isn't sitting well with some business owners.
The city met for several hours to sign off on different parts of the project, however none of them had to do with the actual park; they had to do with the area surrounding it.
Officials signed off on the plan to change parking on Front Avenue from parallel to diagonal. This will add about 45 more parking spaces to the street. Right now there are about 40 spaces.
The concern for several business owners is another part of this plan involving what's called curb cuts. These are breaks in the curbs to access the sidewalk off the street for loading and unloading. The new plan reduces them from six to one.
The owners of Wiggets Antiques on Front Avenue say this plan will affect how they can unload their merchandise, because the diagonal parking along the road mixed with the lack of curb cuts limits how deliveries can get into their store. They worry that could eventually shut them down.
Mayor Sandi Bloem says the entire overhaul will help bring more business to the area.

It is not world wide. If you read the british Twilight site, you will notice in the terms and conditions that it is only the UK + Australia, New Zealand, India and so on.
I am crossing my fingers at the moment, and hope that when they announce the terms and conditions for Germany, that citizens in Denmark (and maybe other Scandinavian countries + countries surrounding Germany) will be able to enter that way.
That's totally shocking! There will be a winner in Canada, but they exclued Quebec residents like me. Quebec is the second most populous province of Canada. For someone from United States, it's juste like they say they didn't want anybody from New-York State!
Quebec is closer from US than a lot other bigs canadians cities and for the language problem… I mean, come on, do you understand me? >./p>
I'm a huge fan, I brought the book in French AND in English. Even if they wrote in the rule that purchase won't help us to win, I just mant to make clear that Hachette AND Little Brown have make money with me!
That chance to meet Stephenie it realy cool, but excluding Quebec, just like that, is really unfair!
You can see more info on Stephnie's wesite.
Has entry details for all countries, you have to do a 60 second video and upload as unlisted to you tube and then send an email with the URL link to your video on it. Read on the link above more info.
it is worldwide if you read the red it shows links to other countries participating will be available shortly
*sigh* I live in Denmark, so there's no chance of participating in what might be the most awesome event in the entire Twilight world. More so than the opportunity to meet Rob, Kristen or Taylor in person.
There are so many questions I would love to ask Stephenie. But also just the opportunity to see the author of what has been the most exciting reading ever, for me, would be an experience beyond words... =/
But good luck to whoever win. :)

A developer's plan to turn a historic house into townhouses and apartments is sparking consternation among residents, who say their streets are already overly dense and congested.
General contractor John Brooks wants to convert the old Crittenton Home for Girls into 11 apartments at 3110 Crittenton Place, one block west of Chestnut Avenue.
Brooks also proposes to raze a more modern dormitory building on the 2.5-acre property and build 19 townhouses with garages. Six townhouses would face Elm Avenue; 13 would front West 32nd Street.
The deteriorating house was built in 1845, overlooking Mount Vernon Mills — now Mill Centre, a complex of 90 artist studios and other businesses — and was originally the home of David Carroll, the mill owner.
The site in 1925 became the Florence Crittenton Home for Girls, part of the Florence Crittenton Mission, a network of 76 homes in cities nationwide and internationally for prostitutes and unwed pregnant women. Over the years, several dormitory buildings were added.
The Florence Crittenton Home for Girls later became Florence Crittenton Services. It was closed by the state in 2010, according to a report by city planners.
Brooks, of Sparks, is buying the Hampden property from its owner, Hamilton Bank. He said the house is under contract.
"It's a really cool property. It's a fantastic property for a small urban development," he said.
Baltimore City zoning allows for more than 100 residential units, said Tim Hearn, CEO of the Baltimore office of Colliers International, the broker for the sale of the property.
However, a Maryland Historical Trust easement prohibits new construction on the property — and that's the way most residents in the Brick Hill section of southern Hampden want to keep it. They said the site, a bucolic, tree-shaded campus should be preserved as much as possible.
"That prohibition would have to be amended out of the easement," Baltimore City Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke said. She said most residents at recent meetings about the plan oppose it.
Hearn said the city Planning Department has taken the position that the original house should only be for a single-family home.
The most recent community meeting was April 27, when Brooks presented updated plans — scaled back from his original plan which called for 38 townhouses with garages and 11 condominiums.
The City Council on May 23 is scheduled to decide whether to add the historic house to the city's official landmarks list. It is already on a special city list of preservation-worthy properties.
Although the trust has given its conceptual approval of Brooks' plans, Clarke and many residents fear the effect on traffic and parking in a section that they say already has a glut of townhouses, warehouses, and commercial businesses, plus a book bindery; a machine shop; and Mill No. 1, a soon-to-open mixed-use development.
But Brooks argued, "The historic structure needs a lot of work, and the way you pay for that is you build townhouses."
The city's Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation has not reviewed Brooks' proposal, because Brooks has not submitted an application, said Kathleen Kotarba, CHAP's executive director.
"Where we are is completing the landmark designation process," Kotarba said.
Clarke said there's no animosity toward Brooks, and she thinks his new plan is preferable to the first one.
"He's a very nice man," Clarke said. "But the people in this community are very concerned about traffic and parking. It wasn't so much negative about this man and his proposal. We really want to keep the site the way it is."

City Council members unanimously approved the placement of a 17-foot-tall stainless steel abstract sculpture by New York artist Albert Paley in the median of the winding thoroughfare, just north of 115th Street.
Kansas lawmakers spent a good deal of their last session demanding "freedom" from the federal government when it comes to health care. Too bad their concerns don't extend to freedom of speech and a free press. A delegation of 10 legislators visited the Johnson County Commission on Aging in an attempt to bully commission members into abandoning plans to publish an article expressing concerns about legislation.
Almost 11 years ago, chef Bob Palmgren left fine dining behind and opened to open RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack off of Lamar Avenue and Johnson Drive in Mission. Business at RJ's, which is named after Palmgren's son, was slow at first, particularly on Sundays. So Palmgren started serving country breakfast. It was sort of like barbecue brunch, with eggs, smoked ham, sausage, bacon and cinnamon rolls.
Consultant recommends creating more than 165 miles of bicycle lanes throughout the city.

SAHM Wants to Get a 9-to-5 Job ... Or Does She?!
Michelle Kemper Brownlow: I was taking a walk after dinner with my 5-year-old, and he started noticing the different numbers of cars in our neighbors' driveways. Our conversation led to a short chat about how some mommies work, and how sometimes it's even the daddies who stay home with the kids. "I want Daddy to stay home and you go to work ... all night long!" he said.
Your 5 yr old rides in a stroller? And spits at you??
First of all why are you still working - 5 year olds are in kindergarten all day (or should be) so WHAT are you doing? And agree w/other poster -why on earth would your 5 year old spit at you or have a stroller.
And who are you married to that isn't helping out?
I laugh at your idea of a working mom shcedule - just jumping up and taking a shower be off for the day-hahahaha. Wake up sweetie - working moms are up around 4:30/5 am to get showered THEN get the kids ready, do last minute homework pack lunches make their lunches,dropkids at school & pre-school, run to work, work straight through to lunch (all those little "coffee breaks" and "lunches" you are dreaming about don't exist) and then either work through lunch or run errands during lunch or visit the preschool, rush back to work, pick up kids from the preschool, hang out witht the kids, cook, clean, MAYBE after 10pm have time to have that adult conversation with their husband and start all over the next morning. So while you're strolling your FIVE year old and having time to daydream why don't think of what it's really like for a working mom!
Completely agree with the first 2 comments. I wish I hopped out of bed every morning and enjoyed a shower. Most days I shower at night to save time in the morning. My mornings consist getting myself ready,my 2 year old and newborn ready to go to daycare,making breakfast and getting everyone fed, fighting morning traffic, getting them both into daycare, and then making a mad dash to get to work on time. Lunch—usually pack a lunch and work through it or run errands, by the time I get off work, pick up my LO's and get home its almost 6. Then its dinner, clean up, baths and bed. My husband usually gets home between clean up and bath.. A working moms life is not nearly as glamourous as you invision it!
This is clearly written by a woman who has NEVER worked a day in her life!!
Agree with all the other posters -well said ladies!!
Maybe we should be getting mad at dads, not at-home moms. Dads are the ones who should be doing something if a mom has to get up at 4:30 or skip her shower before work.
I agree with the blogger, working parents with an at-home parent have it made. They really do get to walk out the door to a quiet car and adult co-workers. Their days aren't crammed with extra errands and they get 8 hours of sleep at night.
If it makes the author feel any better, her son wanted her to work at night. It sounds like he wants everyone at home with him. :-)
Uh…cake schedule? yeah, nice try. You get up at 5am or before so you can hurry to get a shower before anyone else gets up. After your ready, or sometimes during getting ready, you still have to attend to the kids…make lunches, finish laundry, etc…my work begins at 8am, so if you're lucky, the CVS will be open before that so you can grab the stuff you forgot while rushing through your stop on the way home yesterday. You're up for 3-4 hours, and then you start "work" and you don't stop until everyone is back in bed that night. Agreed with the above…not so glamorous. And by the way, don't think that you can avoid conversations about bodily functions at work…boys are still boys, even when they are men.
The grass is pretty much the same shade of green on both sides…most of the time.
Clearly anonymous is a sahm "Dads are the ones who should be doing something if a mom has to get up at 4:30 or skip her shower before work."
Wake up, hon - the dads ARE doing something, it's just when you have an actual job that's what it takes to make it work. NO ONE - mom or dad - just wakes and showers and strolls off to work and that's that.
Also anonymous OBVIOUSLY meant the SAHM's days aren't crammed with extra errans - only those of us who work know how that feels!! Psst, anonymous, when you're staying home runnings errands is your job! Shocking I kknow that you have to do more than play with the kids and daydream and go out for lunches when you stay home, but you have no idea what it's like to work!!
@Carrie - Actually, I meant that a person married to a stay-at-home-parent doesn't have extra errands. For them, going to work is like the blogger's daydream.
Modern at-home moms are not like moms from the 1950s. We have all held down jobs. We remember what it is like to work in an office. Most of us will work for money again some day. Many of us do part-time work or work at home.
First of all to the judgemental commenters…my son is SPECIAL NEEDS so, YES he needs a stroller and YES, he spits! Please realize there are many different children in the world…not only PERFECT ones like yours.
Secondly, this post was in jest! And it was written based on MY HUSBAND'S schedule and what HE does. Now from a mom's point of view. I am the FIRST person to tell you that I am a SAHM b/c I could NEVER keep up with the schedule a working mom need sto have. Could NEVER do it. Working moms are to be commended…I raise my glass (or sippy cup) to you because I could never do it.
Let's play nice here…no nastiness! Sheesh!
What's that big cow doing in a stroller?
Seems like a lot of working moms here have a huge chip on their shoulder and have forgotten how to laugh. I found the original post quite funny. All mother's know, working or "not", the ups and downs, and the good, bad and ugly, and it's a well rounded mother who can laugh at the imperfections in motherhood and in all of us. I find the majority of these comments rude and rather cruel, and I conclude that those working moms writing with such lack of respect, have chosen the best path for their own children by putting them in a daycare situation, because I can only pray that they are being raised by a more compassionate person than those posting.
Wow. I can't believe that XXXX continued to refer to Michelle's son as a "big cow," especially after it was posted that he was special needs. I'm a full-time working Mom myself and did not take any offense to Michelle's post - it was obviously written in jest! I have never seen such rude comments on a blog before. You ladies should be absolutely ashamed of yourself and begin to think of the example you want to set for your children.
I have often thought to myself that I cannot imagine being a working Mom. I too, do not know how you do it. Having said that, I am so glad at this moment that I am not, because it seems to make the majority of you angry, nasty, insensitive, ugly women. Shame, shame, shame. I would hope it is difficult to look at yourselves in the mirror tomorrow a.m. while you are getting ready for work.
I apologize for my rudeness…however, if you're going to state that your 5 yr old rides in a stroller and spits please /mention/ that he has special needs. That's not the kind of thing most people assume.
YIKES! Who are the ones with the real issues here? Sounds like there are ton of bitter women out there. First and foremost, XXXX, how does any mother call anyone's child a cow? You are a scary person with serious issues. Kharma can be powerful - if I were you, I would be doing some charity work to make up for that comment. You never know what your child may present YOU with. And MO why should any parent have to explain that they have a special needs child? Don't be so judgemental. Do you realize how ridiculous YOU sound demanding an explanation so that you don't judge unfairly? Take some ownership for your words.
I am a SINGLE mother (my kids father is no way involved in their lives), that works out of the home (all mothers work) and has a special needs child. I hit a trifecta and I in NO way found Michelle's article offensive what-so-ever. It was in jest. It was a bust on her husband and his day. Period. Lighten up, women! We are all in this together! A little sisterhood, please!
@ Mo Just goes to show you that you shouldn't ASSUME things about another persons life. Why must the mommy wars continue? Both SAHM and working moms face unique challenges due to their circumstances. Can't we all just get along?
wow, there are some RESENTFUL angry women out there. yikes. I am a SAHM and I work my butt off, and I LOVE it and I am LUCKY and BLESSED enough to get to hang out with my kiddos. My husband works his butt off too, and guess what? He does get to get up, take a shower, and go to work in a quiet car. but I dont resent him. the blog was funny, the comments mostly just cruel but they certainly make me feel blessed to have the life that I do and remind me to thank god for it.
" because it seems to make the majority of you angry, nasty, insensitive, ugly women"
And we can see by Weezy's statement that most SAHMs are arrogant, judgemental and self-righteous
oh come on, special needs or not, if a five year old wants to ride in a stroller for their after dinner walk, what's the big deal? Who are you to judge? Heck, I'd love for someone to give me a ride in a stroller, do they make them my size? And what kid has never given his mother the raspberry? And my 15 year old daughter has been known to spit quite frequently. At me? no…but I'm sure a few soccer players have been hit on more than one occassion, accidentally, of course, with the help of the wind. Maybe everyone needs to be more specific and write a novel rather than just a post so that things stop being taken out of context and people don't get their panties in a twist. And as for what Wheezy said, she wasn't speaking to the majority of working moms, just the majority (not ALL) of those working moms replying to this. Do a tally, I'm sure you'll see she was right.

Comments On Aug 11, 2014:My sisters boots.
They are comfy and last well but the buckles are difficult to do up without having it spring open on the trail
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 26, 2013:Alpine Stars - or all ladies boots for that matter - are not what they used to be! I wear a size 7 and these are slightly large on me. BUT they do not come up very high on the shin and barely cover my shin guards - which caused my leg to get cut open when my bike and I fell over on a hill. They are not comfortable and during long races I have to unbuckle the bottom slightly. The WORST part? THE BUCKLES!!! They are SO DIFFICULT to unbuckle AND buckle. At the end of a race I almost break a nail trying to undo them (and cannot even undo them all the way, i usually have to just wiggle out). Before a race is just as bad - I have to use a HAMMER or LARGE ROCK to get them to snap into place. I only own these boots because they were the lesser of the two evils when I was in the market for new boots because the bottom came off my last pair. I hope someone starts making quality boots for women again someday.

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:When my old boots wore out, I just bought these same ones again because they are awesome! At work I ride to locations anywhere from 5 miles to 30 miles, then have to hike at least a mile and they are still comfortable at the end of the day. I always wear a size 6 or 6.5 in shoes but I wear a size 7 in these. Only downside is that the buckles are a little hard to snap shut after a while.

Comments On Nov 26, 2012:Have had these boots for about a year and a half and they are still holding up pretty well. Just a couple thoughts: definitely go a size smaller, they seem to run big. Also, not sure if the buckle issue has been addressed but I have major issues getting the top 3 buckled and unbuckled. Most of the time I have to have my boyfriend pull them off my feet because we can't get some of them to unhook.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Love it - will keep coming back for moreIn full: Superb organisation, easy to access car park, speedy and efficient number, chip and t shirt collection, encouraging marshals, fantastic support from those lovely people at Cliddesden and Ellisfield, and the final four miles wipe out the pain of the earlier hills. Definitely recommend this one.Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Take a bow, organizers, that was superb!In full: Excellent organization, marshalling and the people of Cliddesden and Ellisfield are the coolest on the planet - their support was awesome as indeed it was last year. The race didn't feel too crowded or too lonely: the limit of 2000 seems right. Plentiful water stations. Car parking, chip collection, t-shirt collection and baggage all worked like a dream. Looking forward to next year already.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Heat 'n' hillsIn full: An October half marathon seemed such a good idea back whenever it was that entries opened. Who could have predicted today's temperatures? Knew from my recce of the route that it needed a conservative start. Support from locals was fantastic and organization and marshalling were faultless. Well done, Basingstoke.Date of review: October 2, 2011
In short: Great organization and marshallingIn full: Very much enjoyed this race. Thank you, Wargrave.Date of review: June 12, 2011
In short: Tough course with excellent marshalling, lots of refreshments on the way round and loads of cakes and drinks at the end. In full: That keyring in the marathon goodie bag showing St Martha on the Hill was a really nice touch!Date of review: September 19, 2010
In short: Appreciated the compact start with parking, event centre and start all close together. Scenic route along one side of the river and back along the other side was perfect on such a sunny day.In full: Well organized with all the facilities you could want in the leisure centre, and parking, start and finish nearby. Lovely undulating scenic route along one side of the River Avon and back along the other. Roads weren't closed to traffic but drivers were very patient. Occasionally didn't know which side of the road to run but simply followed everyone else and it all seemed to work out fine. This is definitely one of the better events.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Well organized, low key series of off-road Wednesday evening racesIn full: A short loop, followed by two laps of a longer loop gives you a chance to see if you can find a better line through the mud, and run a bit further up the hill the second time round. Well worth turning out for.Date of review: August 2, 2009
In short: Excellent organization as alwaysIn full: Yateley looks after its runners so well! Red Bull was being handed out near to chip and number collection, and water, chocolate bar and chocolate-flavoured For Goodness Shakes at the finish, as well as a medal. For good measure our chip and gun times and overall position were texted to us almost as soon as we'd crossed the finish line. What more could we ask?Date of review: June 7, 2009
In short: Another meticulously organized Hook 10 - and the weather was kind to us.Date of review: May 17, 2009
In short: Well-organized, scenic race with challenging courseIn full: Would definitely do this again. In fact it's made me wonder why I do long runs on my own - just need to find a nice race like this every week.Date of review: May 11, 2009

New Zealand has sent its first citizens to Mars. Well, sort of -- in reality, they were in Utah.
A group of six New Zealanders recently completed a two-week simulated mission at the Mars Desert Research Station in Hanksville, Utah, according to an article in the New Zealand Herald.
The three men and three women of the KiwiMars team lived together in a two-story, 10-meter-wide "environment" with greenhouse and observatory to replicate the conditions of a mission to Mars.
"When you get to such a place, everything is alien," mission commander Haritina Mogosanu said. "People do get nervous, they get scared and a little bit on edge because they don't know how to react. It's like a survival camp."
