When England arrived in India for their 1984-85 tour, things got unpleasant on and off the field. But they stuck it out and turned their fortunes around, thanks in large part to Tim Robinson

Matches: India v England at Delhi
Series/Tournaments: England tour of India | England in India Test Series
October 31, 1984. Delhi was burning. Indira Gandhi, India's prime minister, had been assassinated by two of her bodyguards.
Five hours earlier, David Gower and his England squad had checked into a hotel in the capital. Friends, family and others had told them to be wary of travelling in India, but they were not prepared for chaos of this order on the first day of the tour.
"It was a massive shock," said Tim Robinson, the former England opener who made his debut in the series. "For most of us it was our first visit to India and within hours of landing, there was chaos. We could see from our rooms fires burning and dense black smoke all around and sirens going. We were obviously quite perturbed about what was happening and what we had got ourselves into."
The England squad was whisked away to Sri Lanka, where they played a couple of warm-up matches before returning to India to play a few more practice games ahead of the first Test, in Mumbai.
England were overwhelmed by the wizardry of L Sivaramakrishnan, the 18-year-old Indian legspinner in the match, and Robinson's Test career started ignominiously. In the first innings he tried to sweep Sivaramakrishnan and was given out caught down the leg side when his bat was nowhere near the ball. In the second innings he seemed to have hit the ball but was given lbw. "It was pretty hard to stomach when you know you haven't hit, and it left a bit of a sour taste, especially as we felt there were decisions that went against us," Robinson, now an ICC-appointed umpire, said.
Robinson had shown a lot of character while scoring his first century of the tour, against West Zone in Rajkot. Later in that match, he watched Dilip Vengsarkar make a splendid double-century. "It was a rough place for a tourist, but I remember Vengsarkar got a hundred. I enjoyed watching how he set about building his innings, his concentration and the way he went about playing our spinners. That made a big impression on me. He certainly set an example," Robinson said.
As he fought the warm conditions, the slow bowlers and the pitch, Robinson muttered to himself. "Whenever I would play a loose shot I would rebuke myself and tell myself, 'Geoff Boycott wouldn't get out to such balls. He would bat on'." Robinson channelled his batting idol to focus on the ball.
By the time England returned to Delhi for the second Test, Robinson and the rest of the team were in a better frame of mind, despite being 1-0 down.
After nine unsuccessful attempts, Sunil Gavaskar finally won a toss against England . But in the first two sessions, spinners Pat Pocock and Phil Edmonds got crucial breakthroughs.
"It was the first inkling we felt the Indian camp was unhappy, with rumblings between Gavaskar and Kapil Dev," Robinson said. But Kapil managed to pull India to a respectable 307, so when England lost Graeme Fowler for 5, the pressure was on Robinson.
"After the early wicket we had to consolidate. But we also had to bear in mind that this was going to be our best chance to get a big score in the match. We had to just keep going and occupy the crease." That Thursday, the second day of the Test, Robinson remained unbeaten on 53. The next day was a rest day but he made sure he remained focused. "I had a few runs now under my belt and I had to make it count."
Robinson applied the Boycott method once again and even started to pick the ball from Sivaramakrishnan's hand. "To this day I really can't explain, but I started to read him with time. That was a big difference from the first Test, where all of us could not do that. I started to pick his googly, his legbreaks and the change of pace. He tried everything but I could just play him."
Disciplined and methodical by nature, Robinson played with a straight bat throughout. "The sweep was a good shot to keep the score ticking over. I had put in a lot of work in the warm-up games, playing that shot."
|"A lot of people had written us off straightaway after the loss in the first Test. So for us to bounce back immediately like we did was a great effort. We were helped by the performance of the India team"
In a Cricketer magazine piece on Robinson, titled the "Nottingham Rock", Chris Cowdrey, who too made his debut in the Bombay Test, recollected his team-mate's powers of concentration. After Robinson got to his maiden Test hundred in Delhi, Cowdrey asked him whether he remembered who was at the non-striker's end when he got to the milestone. Robinson said he didn't care; he had a century and it was great to know he would return to bat on Sunday morning.
A seaming delivery from Kapil caught the edge of his bat and went to Gavaskar at slip early on the fourth morning, but Robinson's eight-and-a-half hour-vigil, spread over three days, had allowed England to post a vital 111-run lead.
"It was a good score because the wicket had started to deteriorate a lot. So we had a good chance to bowl them out cheaply and have a chance to square the series," Robinson said.
India had to promote Manoj Prabhakar to the top of the order to replace Anshuman Gaekwad, who was unwell. However, Gavaskar batted solidly, and at lunch England thought the match would end in a draw.
Things changed when Gavaskar played a suicidal cut shot off a delivery Robinson reckoned was too close and too full to play. "Gavaskar's wicket gave us hope. The problems in the Indian camp came out in the open when one or two of their batsmen played poor shots," Robinson said. Kapil hit a six and then holed out in the deep. Pocock and Edmonds took the last six wickets for 28.
With 125 to chase in the final two hours, England were anxious. The Delhi mist was closing in. Robinson remembers how Kapil marked a specific spot with his bowling studs. "The wicket was crumbling fast and there were holes. He marked this patch where the holes were. I told the umpires, but they were not prepared to step in, so I went in and put in half a dozen marks so Kapil couldn't figure out which mark to pitch on."
Robinson was run out for 18 this time but Mike Gatting, who had got a century in the first ODI, which was played between the Tests, and Allan Lamb made sure England did not lose heart.
It was Gower's first victory, in his 11th match as captain. It had been a bad year for England: eight losses and five draws. The victory couldn't have come at a better time.
"A lot of people had written us off straightaway after the loss in the first Test. So for us to bounce back immediately like we did was a great effort. We were helped by the performance of the Indian team," Robinson said. "A lot of things were against us: the build-up to the Test series, what had gone on in the first Test, and all that had happened to us when we first arrived. But it only gave us more strength, and the team work was enforced and became stronger as the series went along."
England travelled to Kolkata to celebrate Christmas and a series-winning victory at Chennai. "What probably shocked India was the fact that having been so average in the first Test, they thought we would roll over and be easy game. We shocked them by being resilient and we bounced and we meant business. We were a good team."

you will get your money's worth with this coffee table. It is very heavy and made well. The look is something that I have never seen before. It is a unique piece. I love how you can store things on the bottom of it and the color is gorgeous, it is a dark chocolate. It does tend to scratch easy so try not to drag things across it. I Would definitely recommend this to everyone.
I love it... looks amazing and VERY STURDY!!!! Beware when putting it together... the numbers on the pieces are actually on the side. So be carful the directions have to be followed... i kind of just looked that the pictures and put the pieces together at the end... i found out the hard way that you do have to follow the numbers that are on the sides. I had to do it all over again!!!! So lay everything out FIRST... locate the numbers then put it together. It is big sturdy, contemporary... AMAZING deal for the money!!!! Would highly recommend.
tricky to assemble but looks nice.scratches easyly
I have this table for about a year now and I am glad I bought it. looks really classy! Its a perfect match for my brown leather couches. Since its is not a hard wood table, the quality of the material is okay, which is the only negative..but considering the look.. everything else is secondary. I received soooo many compliments on this. Love OVERSTOCK!
I was a little skeptical about Overstock being too good a deal...I was shopping *** online and every product costed $100+ in shipping which I can't afford. I shopped the website for coffee tables, this one stood out - exactly what I was looking for. price was about what I expected but shipping wasn't an issue. Looks beautiful and is a little better than I thought as the surfaces are so easy to clean and its a very solid build. There was one little nic/scratch on the wood when it arrived but I wouldnt have even noticed if my girlfriend didn't point it out. Will definitely use the site again...looking for a rug now
It looks so modern in my studio. My dog loved hiding under the opening. He'd crawl underneath and watch through the openings for fun. It was easy to put together and doesn't scratch easily.
It took me some time to put the thing together. It is a bit of a puzzle. Especially, I believe, since the instructions are wrong, or perhaps not, but at some point I stopped following the instructions. It collects a bit of noticeable dust underneath, that is the only neg. Otherwise, unusual model, very nice and good quality.
Nice, sturdy table. Very narrow and not overly heavy. Slides easily around on the carpet but all and all a good buy for the money. Watch each step closely when you're building it!
The furniture that you,have to put together needs better instructions instead,of a drawing its needs to be a real picture or a DVD of how to put it together.
Easy to put together, good size, overall great for the price!

Gamer will you hire me. Lol. That's all what I was hoping for.
I'm so attached to these kids and there attached to me. It's a bit obvious us 3 are 3 peas in a pod. Lol.
I've gotten the cold shoulder about this. It makes me sad. I get all my info from the 4 1/2 yr old. At least he is honest with me. The parents barely talk to me. Never said how the nanny looking is going , never told me they told the kids I'm leaving. They haven't asked if I'm still gonna be a nanny or do something else. NOTHING. : (. I feel I'm leaving them being ticked at me.
I won't be working for a while but if I decide to work it will be a part time nanny. I will need a reference letter. Ill ask the mom when the time comes.

Steve and Susan Walls of Gulf Port, Mississippi, spent a few days with his mother, Marie Walls, and attended his 40-year class reunion.
Dooley and Billy Clyde had made a rare trip to Nashville and had ridden an elevator to the top floor of a tall building. They returned home with big plans for the future. Soon after returning home they headed out for the big oak tree at the far end of the field. They even talked me into taking part in another of their harebrained schemes.
It was a sad time in the Dry Creek valley for many families who were relatives or neighbors and special friends to the Ben and Mairene Vandagriff family, who were outstanding citizens in their community, dedicated members of Dry Creek Baptist Church, where Mr. Ben served as a deacon, Mairene taught the card class in Sunday school, and Jane, from a small child, played the piano.
We are taught from our earliest days of being a Christian to pray believing what we ask will be so. "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive" (Matt 21:22). Oh, but we are human. We forget God's will is to be done over any other will. We may end our prayer, "Your will be done", but if we are honest with ourselves, we're really thinking, "God, do it the way I asked and everything will be okay."
The first Sunday in Advent was observed last Sunday in most Christian Churches. The 40 days of Advent begins Nov. 9 and concludes on Dec. 25. It is a time to prepare our hearts and homes for "the reason for the season." At First Methodist, Dr. John Carpenter and his wife had the Advent devotional around the Advent wreath, last Sunday. Their grandson, Collin, lit the first purple candle. Another family will have a devotional next Sunday.
I hope all of you out there had a good time treating the little ones with candy Halloween night, even though the weather conditions weren't the greatest, with the rain and the wind blowing so briskly. I enjoyed it immensely and have more fun than the little ones, I believe.
There was a short time when Dooley considered the possibility that he might be called to preach.
The news in the valley is all about DCHS football game against Upperman's Baxter Bees, Friday night. Wow! We couldn't keep up with the score and John Pryor was so excited that we believe he just about gave up on the score. Just kidding Mr. Pryor, but the score did come fast 29-25 DCHS, then 35-25 DCHS, and we believe that the final score was 38-25 DCHS win in this big district football game.
Stephanie Rackley, soon-to-be bride of Billy Tiner, was honored with a wedding tea Sunday afternoon at New Home Baptist Church fellowship hall. She got a lot of lovely gifts and useful items. The couple is very appreciative of everything received.
Made it through Halloween! The Halloween event downtown last Friday was a huge success! There were children everywhere in their costumes all over town. They were "trick and treating" in all of the businesses, courthouse, city hall and even the jail.
It has been a while since my son was in school. It's been even longer since I was in school. However, I hear parents today complaining about common core math. From what I have seen, a simple math problem such as 18+12=30 (add 8+2=10; carry the one to make it 3; answer is 30) is now a complicated formula in which a child has to produce steps to show how they arrived at the answer, even if it is a simple mathematical equation.
Most folks don't realize that the roots of rock and roll music trace right back to Needmore, Tennessee. It's kind of a long story but worth telling so here goes.
The sun is out and then the clouds appear, but overall the weather is going to be good for farmers. Ricky Hendrix has just cut his third year's cutting for 2014. Looks like it will be ready to bail after this morning's sun.
You hear soft footfalls behind you. Voices whisper your name. Doors close and floorboards moan, yet no one is there. You turn to look behind you, but nothing is there. Always, unseen eyes watch you from the shadows. You see them just out of your periphery vision; yet you can never fully see them. You see a flicker of movement behind you, but it vanishes as quickly as it appeared. They haunt you, especially at night when all is quiet. They haunt when all you have are your thoughts and memories of yesteryear.
New Home Baptist Church enjoyed a hayride and supper Saturday night. The weather was cool, but they were prepared for the hayride. The young children and the older ones all enjoyed the hayride. They had a wonderful time together in fellowship.
Fall break is almost over for our county's children and teachers. Many chose to take vocational during this time.
October 9, 2014 was DTC Day to honor all 50 year members. We got up to a cloudy day with the forecast stormy for our area.
It has been said that art imitates life. Lately, however, life has imitated art. If you have ever watched 'I Am Legend', you know that Will Smith plays a doctor trying desperately to find a cure for a disease resembling vampirism. As the movie ends, he finds a cure.
Belated happy birthday wishes to Faye Adkins. She celebrated with her family on Saturday at the home of Jordan and Nicole Cripps and their two children. All had a good time. W.J .Page and grandson took her to Red Lobster in Cookeville for dinner.
Last week we told you about Uncle Artford's dog Yardstick.. The three legged fox hound which was the best foxhound in the county despite only having one back foot and a neck so stiff he couldn't bend his head down to the ground when he was trailing a fox.

I am looking for information on ANY Flora MacRae born about 1780 (just a guess) in the area of Kintail, Scotland.
If you have a Flora born within 5-10 yrs of that time, and you don't know what happened to her, please contact me. She had children before 1801 and was still child bearing in 1801 when she arrived in Nova Scotia - that's how I estimate her birth year. There may be a MacDonnell connection somewhere.

How to Keep Your Hair Healthy This Winter
The weather has started getting colder in most places, and the cold winter weather combined with excessively heat-treating your hair can create damage that's hard to fix. It may feel good in the moment to stand under that hot shower stream, but chances are you'll feel it later when your scalp gets dry. It may also feel good to turn up your blow dryer to its hottest setting and spend some extra time warming your fingers along with drying your hair, but it may not create the results you prefer ...

Don't Allow Rain to Rain on Your Parade, or Perfect Locks
Rain is something magical and beautiful. However, when you are trapped at home while it is raining cats and dogs during the last days of summer when in many states the monsoon season hits, it can get rather frustrating. No one likes to go out wrapped in warm clothes and holding an umbrella while trying to stroll through the farmer's market. At the same time, it's not fun being stuck indoors either. Going outside means your beautiful straight hair and straight extensions may get frizzy too, which ...

Dec 22, 2011The first song will BLOW YOU AWAY! the album starts out very stong but does sort of lose some power along the way, BUT this is the melvins so that means that this album is **** metal. The melvins have still got it, as proof by the amazing guitar work of the King Buzzo and the brutally awesome drumming by Dale. And the big buisness boys show they know how to keep up with King Buzzo and Dale. a great album, but not their best (but hey 18 albums and they all kick some real ASS)… Expand
As they prove constantly on The Bride Screamed Murder, though, there's so much more to this band these days than merely crushing riffs; there's more than enough room to go nuts with the experimentation and still come up with a top-tier Melvins record.
After 25 years, The Melvins are still showing rock's terrible pretenders how it's done.
The Bride Screamed Murder channels the band's two-kit battery into intense percussion romps topped by burly call-and-response bellows, like a military drill conducted on strong hallucinogens. [Aug 2010, p.88]

CNBC: You're very optimistic about the future not only of this country but also of the stock market. If you have a list of worries, what's at the top of that list? Buffett: Nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks. Whether by government or some rogue group. That will happen some day in our future and it will be anything from a large tragedy to an unbelievable tragedy. [Video]
Berkshire Hathaway
Don't Think He Hasn't TriedBy Bess Levin
In addition to being known as one of the most loved and revered businessmen- some would say- ever, a savvy investor and a lover of Cherry Coke, Buffett is known for one thing above all else– going out of his way to awkwardly marry aberrant sex fetish with folksy business wisdom. Some of his greatest hits include telling Bloomberg, on the matter of why people should want to sell their companies to BRK, "You can sell it to Berkshire, and we'll put it in the Metropolitan Museum; it'll have a wing all by itself; it'll be there forever. Or you can sell it to some porn shop operator, and he'll take the painting and he'll make the boobs a little bigger and he'll stick it up in the window, and some other guy will come along in a raincoat, and he'll buy it." Telling investors on his decision to buy NetJets, "Once you've flown NetJets, returning to commercial flight is like going back to holding hands." Telling investors, of the housing crisis, "As house prices fall, a huge amount of financial folly is being exposed. You only learn who has been swimming naked when the tide goes out." Telling CBS, on the topic of bridge: "You know, if I'm playing bridge and a naked woman walks by, I don't even see her. Don't test me on that!" Telling Forbes, in 1974, on stocks being undervalued: "[I feel] like an oversexed guy in a whorehouse." [Forbes changed "whorehouse" to "harem."] Today he added another track to the album in an excerpt of his annual investor letter to be released this spring.
As part of his argument for why one shouldn't own gold, he noted, "Beyond the staggering valuation given the existing stock of gold, current prices make today's annual production of gold command about $160 billion. Buyers — whether jewelry and industrial users, frightened individuals, or speculators — must continually absorb this additional supply to merely maintain an equilibrium at present prices. A century from now the 400 million acres of farmland will have produced staggering amounts of corn, wheat, cotton, and other crops — and will continue to produce that valuable bounty, whatever the currency may be. Exxon Mobil will probably have delivered trillions of dollars in dividends to its owners and will also hold assets worth many more trillions (and, remember, you get 16 Exxons). The 170,000 tons of gold will be unchanged in size and still incapable of producing anything. You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond."
Only, as any Warren Buffett scholar worth his or her salt will tell you, that clearly wasn't the line of his choosing but rather what Fortune, where it appeared, came up with after rejecting his previous drafts, reminding Buffett that theirs is family publication. We've obtained the originals and, in the interest of full disclosure and because its how Warren would have wanted it, will share them now. Read more »

You Too Can Invest Like A Kindly Grandfather And/Or Comic-Book Quant SuperheroBy Matt Levine
There are those who think that Warren Buffett's days of being an awesome value investor are behind him. Those people are crowing a little today after his recent darling Bank of America crossed $5 in the wrong direction, which I guess is a big deal. Here, however, is probably a thing not to think about that:
Yes, Bank of America's stock swoon is dragging down America's wisest investor, Warren Buffett, who now is about $1.5 billion underwater on his BofA common-stock warrants.
Disagree! I happen to have a model for that right here (earlier/caveats), and I have him very roughly breaking even (you'll care about H24, which shows him up $52mm on his $5bn investment). This uses a 45% vol (vs. 62% mid on Jan-14 $7 calls, 77%ish for their A warrants struck north of $13, 58% 1-year realized) and 8.75% discount rate on the pref (around where I eyeball the Is and Js); you can dispute those assumptions and get a different smallish positive or negative number* but the important point is: Warren Buffett didn't lose $1.5bn on his $5bn investment. If you'd invested $5bn in BAC common stock at around $7, when Buffett did, you'd have lost $1.5bn in round numbers. But you're not Warren Buffett. (He is!)
Some people think that this is pretty crap – along the lines of "I'd be a great investor too if I could just get every financial firm to give me a sweetheart deal for lending them my Cherry Coke-encrusted halo" – but, of course, you can. A share of BRK/B is, like, 74 bucks. All that warranty goodness accrues to Berkshire Hathaway, not (just) Buffett.
Now, if there's one investing strategy that I understand even less than "give my money to Bank of America to do what they will with it, what could possibly go wrong," it's "momentum investing," where you buy stocks that have been going up because past results are a guarantee of future performance.** So I found this Fortune article about Cliff Asness's new momentum-based retail mutual funds utterly baffling, and not only because a close reading suggests that these new funds were launched in 2009.

Howard Buffett said his father, billionaire Warren Buffett, plans to work until death leading Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and isn't considering retirement.

Warren Buffett Opens His Kimono Ever So Slightly…By Bess Levin
…and gives Congress a glimpse of the silver tuna. Want to see the full enchilada? The golden goose? The cast-iron baby arm? El Chorizo? Then you're gonna have to get some other deep pocketed guys and gals to show what kind of heat they're packing. You do that and WB promises he'll give you the full autopsy results. Those are the rules. No tit? No tat. If anyone thinks he's going to be the only one left standing naked, they can refer themselves to a fateful game of strip poker in '57 from which he learned his lesson the hard way, and think again.

So here's kind of a silly way to conceive of yesterday's Berkshire Hathaway buyback, complete with Google Docs spreadsheet. Because everybody likes Google Docs spreadsheets.

At the annual Allen & Company conference here, DealBook asked Mr. Buffett whether he thought Mr. Blankfein might resign from Goldman in the coming months. The Oracle of Omaha didn't mince words.

|Bulls GM Paxson shoots down reports that Kobe may wind up in Chicago
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 01 November 2007 10:55
General manager John Paxson basically squashed the notion that the Los Angeles Lakers' superstar will wind up in Chicago, saying the teams were never on the verge of a deal and talks were over for now.
``There's not a deal done,'' he said Thursday. ``There's not going to be a deal done. All the things that were out there were really unfair to all of us who were trying to do our jobs. The misinformation ... I think gets in the way of the process. It's just such a complicated thing and we kind of put it to rest now.''
Paxson's comments came a day after a flurry of rumors. Speculation picked up Wednesday, with one report saying the Bulls, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers were discussing a three-way deal that would bring the superstar to Chicago.
That scenario had Paxson sending Ben Gordon and a signed-and-traded P.J. Brown to Sacramento, Chicago's Ben Wallace and the Kings' Ron Artest heading to Los Angeles and the Bulls landing Bryant.
Bryant drew some boos during introductions before the Lakers' season-opening 95-93 loss to Houston on Tuesday, after calling the front office a mess and asking to be traded during the offseason. The jeers turned to cheers as Bryant scored 18 of his 45 points in the fourth quarter to lead a comeback.
The trade deadline isn't until February, so it's possible talks between the Lakers and Bulls could resume.
``Who knows?'' Paxson said. ``The reality is that right now, it's done.''
Paxson was concerned the issue would become a distraction, so he decided to put it to rest.
``I think today sends a message to our players that nothing's going to be done,'' he said.

|Formula One - Monaco GP Race Report
| The Lotus F1 Team came away disappointed from Monaco on Sunday after securing just two world championship points courtesy of a ninth place finish for Kimi Raikkönen , despite an encouraging qualifying session on Saturday.
Although Raikkönen struggled to get his tyres up to temperature on his way to eighth on the grid, team-mate Romain Grosjean finished the session in fifth, before being promoted to fourth when Mercedes' Michael Schumacher took a five-place grid penalty. It was all over for the Frenchman 100 metres into the race, however, when he made contact with Michael Schumacher on the run down to Turn 1. He retired on the spot after a 90-degree spin.
Kimi survived the first-corner melée and kept pace with world champion Sebastian Vettel for much of the first stint, but his tyres had soon had enough. He stayed out on-track to wait for the expected rain that never materialised, hurting his points-scoring chances and dropping him from seventh to 11th. One retirement and one pitstop for drivers ahead promoted the Finn to ninth, where he finished.
The result drops Lotus to fourth place in the constructors' championship on 86 points behind Ferrari, while Raikkönen lies sixth in the drivers' championship on 51 points, two places lower than he began the weekend. Grosjean remains eighth on 35 points.

How To Talk About Values to Your Kids
Talking About Values, p. 2
Sticky Situation: You discover an action figure in the pocket of your 6-year-old son's jeans that you know isn't his. He claims he found it. You're suspicious but let it go. Then you get a call from his friend's mom, who diplomatically asks whether your son mistakenly took the toy home from his afternoon playdate.
Wise Words: By this age, your son knows very well that taking a toy is wrong. Be direct.
- "I just got a call from Johnny's mother. She said one of his toys is missing. It sounds as if you might have taken it without asking. What do you think? It's time for you to tell me the truth."
- If your child still denies it, be stern: 'Stealing hurts people. Your friend feels bad. You probably feel bad too, knowing this toy doesn't belong to you. And lying about what you've done makes it even worse." In both instances, insist that your son return the toy as soon as possible. -- Sal Severe, Ph.D., author of How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too!
Sticky Situation: You drop in on your 7-year-old daughter's Sunday-school class and catch her playing with a yo-yo, deliberately ignoring the teacher.
Wise Words: When class is over, pull her aside and state the rule: no toys in Sunday school ever. Then encourage a deeper understanding of respect with a discussion.
- "Paying attention is an important way to show respect. What are some other ways you can let your teacher know you respect her?"
- If your child is quick to comprehend her mistake, reinforce her understanding with: 'That's the kind of thinking I like to hear! It sounds as if you understand what respect is." -- Arthur Dobrin, Ph.D., author of Teaching Right From Wrong: 40 Things You Can Do to Raise a Moral Child
Sticky Situation: After dinner, your 5-year-old brings out his bag of Halloween candy, and you ask nicely for one of your favorites. He hugs the bag to his chest and says, "No way."
Wise Words: Five-year-olds are not particularly good at sharing, especially candy! In this case, speak from your own experience.
- "You know, when I don't want to share with somebody else, I end up feeling really bad. When I do share, I feel good because I know I've made the other person happy. Do you want to try it, and see whether it makes you feel happy too?"
- Or simply suggest a compromise: "Why don't you spread out your candy? If you don't want me to have that particular piece, there's probably another one you can give me." -- Sal Severe
Sticky Situation: You overhear your 6-year-old daughter and a group of her friends saying unkind things about a classmate.
Wise Words: This behavior is always hurtful, and you have an obligation to intervene in a direct way but without embarrassing your child. Walk right into the group, acknowledge that you overheard their conversation, and ask the girls one of these open-ended questions.
- "You've probably all heard the golden rule: 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.' What do you think it means?"
- Or simply: "How does it feel when someone in your class says something mean about you?" -- Martha Straus

Open Carry Texas Brings The Crazy To Lubbock
Here's the simple truth-The "Open Carry" crowd are to gun owners what the Westboro Baptist Church is to a regular church. The concept that you need to be able to take your rifle with you while you get a burrito is just stupid, paranoid and extreme. If there is ever truly a need to carry your rifle around in public, it would be a situation where no laws really matter anyways (like a civil war or a zombie outbreak).

Lawmakers see another chance for wind farm reform
Reilly took part in a contentious meeting between residents of Alexandria and Iberdrola Renewables, the Spanish wind-power giant that has built the Groton Wind project and is proposing the Wild Meadows wind farm project for the Newfound Lake-Cardigan Mountain area.
Reilly said his bill was tabled by legislators who live in the southern part of the state and "don't know what's going on (in the Lakes Region)."
Reilly's bill comes before the committee again for a vote Tuesday morning. He thinks some of his fellow Science and Technology Committee members may have changed their minds.
Also present at the Alexandria meeting was Sen. Jeanie Forrester, R-Meredith. She is filing legislation that would take a close look at the state's Site Evaluation Committee, which deals with new applications for wind farms and other power-making proposals, such as the Northern Pass project.

I have written many photo articles about Valencia and then in 2012 decided to produce this photography book.

I am checking to see if anyone has a link to Leander Clifton Goudy of Mississippi. I do not have a date of birth or death, but he had a son, Roy Houston Goudy, born in 1898... so I'm guessing Leander Clifton was born around 1870 or so. He had 5 other children (Herbert, Fred, James, Eula & Hallie). Let me know if anyone knows anything. Thanks.
