Sir, - Although readers would have been delighted to see the Revd DNicholas Cranfield's review of the current exhibition of John Constable'paintings at Tate Britain<
href="/80256fa1003e05c1/httppublicpages/cc99662a1d700ba580257193004db22f?opendocumentArts, 23 June), the piece seemed to give the impression that Constable wamore of a worshipper of "Truth and Nature" than of God.
It would have been good to read about the profound Christian significance omany of Constable's best-known landscape paintings (including many of those ithe present show).
The painter was an extremely devout Anglican, connected with some leadinfigures in the Church of his day. At one stage, he was even destined for thpriesthood. This information should be of great interest to your readers.
John Constable's "six-footer" landscape canvases are significant for manreasons, not least because they demonstrate the artist's belief that thesnatural landscape subjects, which he understood to reflect divine qualitieswere worth the same kind of monumental treatment as had until then been largelreserved for paintings showing historical, mythological, and biblical theme
Meanwhile, the church towers in Constable's landscape scenes led one criticAndrew Graham-Dixon, to reflect that "the scene of Constable's life was boundeby religion, enfolded and enclosed under the benevolent eye of God."
During the 1820s, Constable began to show an interest in scientific methoand enquiry, which, in those days, was effectively a branch of theology. Hbegan to produce painstaking studies of cloud formations, flora, and faunaWith these, he was aiming (like his great contemporary Linnaeus) to understanand reveal something more of "God's great plan".
Constable's pictures are very popular, and could form the basis for sominteresting mission and teaching opportunitieSTEPHEN LAIDean of Chaplains and Honorary LecturUniversity of KeCanterbury, Kent CT2 7NP

Inigo Montoya:
He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword, my father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done.
[Shows the Man in Black the sword]
Man in Black:
I've never seen its equal
Inigo Montoya:
The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price. My father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these.
[strokes the scars on his cheeks]
Man in Black:
How old were you?
Inigo Montoya:
I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello.
My name is Inigo Montoya
You killed my father
. Prepare to die."
— the story of Inigo Montoya from
The Princess Bride
Vampire Buddha
: Cut
and crap for great justice.
What I cut
Except not really, because in recent issues by Grant Morrison, it was revealed that following their initial meeting, Chill became a wealthy businessman obsessed with the divide between classes in Gotham. After the establishment of his presence in Gotham, the Batman begins to visit Chill every night for a month, until the final night, wherein he delivers the gun that Chill used to kill the Wayne parents with. Chill realises, upon Batman leaving, that he is responsible for the creation of Batman; it is implied that, fearing that he will be discovered, he shot himself with the gun. However, Chill may still live, as the narrative merely showed us a grim-faced Batman listening to the single gunshot.
In the 1989
Tim Burton
film, it was upgraded to none other than The Joker, several years before he became Joker. Batman actually says to the Joker, "I'm going to kill you," and then moments later, "You killed my parents." Can't get more blatant than that. Needless to say, Joker does not survive the movie.
Batman Begins starts by painting Joe Chill as a sympathetic, pathetic figure who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne parents near by accident. Bruce tries to take revenge anyway, but to his horror, is beaten to the punch by a mob hitman. This realization of how far he has fallen in the pursuit of vengeance instead of justice is instrumental in forging him into the man he turns out to be.
Probably pretty typical of the scattered continuity of comic books, but in various incarnations, Joe Chill has been gunned down by his henchmen when they find he's the reason Batman is after them, gunned down by a more vicious vigilante after having been working with Batman on orders of the Mafia, and proven in Zero Hour to not have been the person who killed them after all. Suffice to say that Batman's managed to work out his frustrations over Joe Chill on many levels.
Indeed he seems to have quite a bit of professional respect for the Jedi. Justified, as it's part of his culture. (
"Whoa, you can kill us. Awesome!"
Well, Boba does seek revenge, and comes close to getting it at one point...but it was specifically towards Mace, who got a rather different death.
Subverted by
Oedipus Rex
, who killed his father himself, though he did not recognize him until it was too late. And then he went on to marry the queen, who turns out to be his mom. Talk about Freudian...
Speaking of Freudian,
Oedipus Rex
is where Freud got the term "Oedipus Complex"
It's then subverted when Fox lets Andross go into the Black Hole. Though he's always had the reputation for always having to have the last shot, he knows that the pod will not go far in the Black Hole, and that's exactly where his father will find him, and as Fox puts it, "he deserves the last shot after all these years."
In a less straightforward example, Fox's father and Peppy were betrayed by their third teammate, Pigma Dengar, who goes on to become a member of Star Wolf. Peppy and Fox both, understandably, have an ax to grind with him.
The best part about that? It's
Raul Julia
. He was a
Large Ham
who was so inexplicably
Bad Ass
that only cancer could take him out.
Amusingly enough, the one who kills him in
Street Fighter
happens to be the one who wouldn't even CARE about Bison even the slightest — Akuma. Though Bison does actually make a comeback in
Street Fighter
, that's a prequel to III, which he DIDN'T appear in, so we can assume he's automatically screwed, regardless of if Akuma comes back to finish the job or not.
Of course, there's also Dan who wants revenge on Sagat for the same reason in his first game appearance. Sagat, however, throws the fight so Dan won't follow his path of rage and vengeance.
In the College Humor parody
Street Fighter: The Later Years
, Bison tries (badly) to justify his actions by claiming that "It's just what I do. I killed half your fathers. I just put your eye out on the way here," indicating Dhalsim, who is sporting a new eyepatch.
However, the trope is subverted when
during Ken and Shinjiro's confrontation, Takaya from
shows up; Shinjiro ends up
Taking the Bullet
for Ken instead, dying after the rest of the team has showed up and chased Takaya off
Subverted by
Tales of Symphonia
where, after we learn that the
Quirky Miniboss Squad
member Kvar was directly responsible for the death of Lloyd's mother by forcing his father to kill her, he is instead stabbed to death by Kratos.
Double subverted once we learn that Kratos is Lloyd's father, and thus had a higher rating on the hierarchy of 'giving this villain his
Karmic Death
Also, Varsivius subverts
You Killed My Father
and all the trope family around it with a single spell:
, and NOT doing it offstage like villainy of that level usually is makes it one of those fractally graphical crowning moment of awesome villainy that most other villains can only dream of.
Also, Inigo from
The Princess Bride
affectionately parodied
, the son of a former member of the
Quirky Miniboss Squad
, coming after Belkar.
: He was a good father!
: But he was a better fashion accessory!
Who Belkar
takes out a hit on, as he thinks that he'll die if he does lethal damage within a town. Most Kobolds can't survive a round with that level of sociopath.
Most of the comic at this point can't survive a round with him.
LE Xicon 712
: How about we do a
"You Killed My X"
game, where a character says the Inigo Monotoya quote, but his way:
Hello. My name is
Ichigo Kurosaki
. You killed my mother. Prepare to die. *BAN-KAI!*

Real reform not rhetoric
By Trent Loos
I really have no trouble believing this but that is what makes it so troubling. At the 2014 U.S. Custom Harvesters annual convention in Wichita, one issue surfaces to the top of the list as the greatest challenge facing harvesters. It may be the greatest challenge facing growth in the entire farming sector: Where are the workers?
In conversations with harvesters from every part of the country, they all have the same issues. I am not belittling the fact that state laws for transporting equipment and an under-appreciation of why big machines must travel up and down highways is an issue, but that ranks second when it comes to finding someone to drive the machine on the road or in the field.
The H-2A worker program allows U.S. employers or U.S. agents who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary agricultural jobs. The H-2 program was created in 1943 when the Florida sugar cane industry obtained permission to hire Caribbean workers to cut sugar cane on temporary visas. It then saw a revision in 1986 to H2-A agricultural workers as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
I can't remember how many people in recent weeks have told me about the need for immigration reform. My response to that is that we need to work on ethics reform before we need immigration reform. I am not talking about illegal immigrants storming the country but about the one in five Americans who choose not to work because they are lazy.
With all the debate and negative press surrounding the recent farm bill, let's remind ourselves that last year one of every $8 spent in the grocery store was food welfare. How can we talk about true sustainability when over 10 percent of food purchases are made with a handout?
Quite possibly even more troubling than that was a conversation I had with Tracy Zeorian of Manly, Neb., who is on the board of U.S. Custom Harvesters. Tracy and her husband, Jim, have four daughters and they expect them to work, as I assume most all farm/ranch families do. Tracy said someone in her close circle of friends actually asked her, "Why do you expect so much responsibility from your kids?"
When we, as a nation, don't expect our kids to work, what do we have left? I will be the first to tell you that I did not work as a kid like my father did and honestly our girls do not work as hard as my wife and I did as kids. But we expect them to work on the farm if they do not have some off-farm activity, and they work when they are asked and when we need them to. This is a far cry from the "entitlement" mentality that I see every single day eroding the fabric of our nation.
Aside from the failing work ethic that some have fallen into, the issue of immigrants filling the essential jobs in agriculture needs to be recognized. The regulators, who have very little ability to guard against the illegal hires, seem to be attempting to prove their worth by harassing the very individuals who find a way to make the H-2A system actually work. My buddy Hank Vogler of North Spring Valley, Nev., has used these temporary farm laborers on his Need More Sheep Company operation for 30 years.
The stories that Hank tells about keeping 18 Peruvians employed without government intervention are unbelievable. He tells of regulators who show up to conduct audits that cost $6,000 regardless of how well he has documented his legal workforce. Paper pushers creating job security are all that these audits amount to.
We have a serious problem when it comes to work ethic in this nation. I am looking for one elected official or real leader to make a public stand about the real answer to immigration issues in America. The solution is getting people out of couch potato mode and making them get a real job. We need true leadership in action instead of more stump speech rhetoric that is aimed at simply trying to get another vote.
While there are some people who need our help, there are far too many that are more than content to wait for someone to give them a handout. That mentality has got to change or we are heading down a slippery slope to a country that won't be able to sustain itself because the non-workers will outnumber and outvote the workers that are forced to support them!

Cork Tree, Indian Trees
The `Cork Tree` is a very famous tree in India and has been cultivated in most parts of India in the gardens and avenues
The `Cork Tree` is a very famous tree in India and has been cultivated in most parts of India in the gardens and avenues. The scientific name of this tree is `Millingtonia Hortensis`. The name `Millingtonia` honours the English botanist of the 18th Century, Thomas Millington and `Hortensis` means "grown in gardens". It came from the `Bignoniaceae` family. The tree is named as `Akas Nim` or `Nim Chameli` or `Betati Nim` in
. The
people know it as `Akas Nim` or `Mini-chameli`. In Tamil, it is `Karkku` and `Kat Malli` and in Telugu, it is `Kavuki`. The English people call it as the `Cork Tree` or the `Tree Jasmine`.
The `Cork Tree` is tall and straight one with a few branches comparing the others. For having a great ornamental value rather than any shade-giving properties, the tree claims to be one of the most popular trees in India. It is a nice and fast growing tree, but because of having fragile wood, the tree liable to be damaged easily by storms. In suitable conditions, it can grow up to 24 m. in height. The tree grows wild in most parts of India and also being extensively cultivated in suitable climates. The ash coloured bark is cracked and wrinkled and the numerous fractures make removal of the cork an easy matter. This can be used as a mediocre substitute for true cork.
From the month of April till the rainy season and again in the months of November and December, the tree produces a large amount of silvery white and amusingly fragrant flowers. The open clusters are upright and with arching blooms, they terminate every branchlet. The tiny flowers are some bell-shaped calyx and long slim tube of very pale green in colour. They are divided into four bendable, white petals and also contain several prominent yellow anthered stamens. One petal of the flowers is longer and cracked. There are many flowers that are skillfully tinted with pink. The flower sprays consist largely of long whitish buds. As they fall down immediately after opening, they spangle the ground below with countless little stars.
In between the months of January and March, the leaves of the tree discard and in April and May, they get renewed. There is two or three broadly spaced pinna in the long leaves. Each pinna contains five or seven smooth oval-shaped leaflets that are pointed and slightly round-toothed. Each of the leaflets is 2.5 to 7.5 am in length. In some occasions, the lower pinna divides again and bears one pair of three-leaved pinna and one or two pairs of leaflets and one leaflet at the end. The fruit of the `Cork Tree` is very long and narrow. It is sharp at both ends and is full of thin flat seeds. These trees do not seed very effortlessly in India.

Artemis instills youthfulness with an unlikely blend of artistry and science. Under the same roof, a team of board-certified physicians works alongside aestheticians trained in Chicago, Miami, and LA to rejuvenate patients from the inside out. Milking convenient medical connections, the spa staff makes use of prescription-strength elixirs to smooth and clarify skin. The doctors flaunt their technical skill with vein-removing injections and lasers, non- and minimally-invasive liposuction alternatives, Botox injections, and championship tournaments of Operation.
The trained specialists at Advanced Laser Body Care Institute take aim at aesthetic imperfections with noninvasive light and sound waves, dermal fillers, and mini facial procedures. These skincare professionals work closely with each patron to draft a custom treatment plan that considers biological variables such as skin type, skin color, hair color, and hair flavor. Unwanted stubble, troublesome fat deposits, spider veins, wrinkles, and acne blotches fade or retreat entirely under the pulchritude professionals' experienced care. Anti-aging, antioxidant-full skincare products from Vivit? and Reval?Skin revitalize visages and are available for purchase from the institute.
A member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sam Speron leads Park Ridge Medical Spa's team of technicians as they achieve Dr. Speron's primary goal: to help patients to look good and feel good about themselves. The spa's diverse menu of services helps to adjust silhouettes, fade unwanted wrinkles, eliminate fuzzy patches, and erase tattoos of self-satisfied tattoo artists.
Dr. Adam J. Cohen has spent nearly 10 years in private practice perfecting the art of surgical and nonsurgical facial freshening. A micro-laser peel is a fine-line annihilating alternative to a chemical peel. Instead of abandoning your visage to harsh, haphazard chemicals, it uses the computer-guided precision of lasers to gently remove outdated skin cells, banishing them to appearances on Vh1 nostalgia shows. For faces seeking a younger, softer complexion, Botox provides a fast-acting solution. Several small injections in the glabellar area (between the brows and above the nose) will temporarily relax the muscles responsible for forehead wrinkles, worry lines, and dread stripes. Results from this simple treatment can last 3–4 months. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Peter Johnson has a work ethic that not only drove him to earn highest honors from the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honors Society at Northwestern University Medical School, but also to become a clinical assistant professor at the University of Chicago and to open his Center for Aesthetic Surgery. When he's not performing face-lifts, nasal shaping, liposuction, or breast enhancements, Dr. Johnson is answering questions about cosmetic surgery and doling out advice on RealSelf's online doctor-patient forum or obtaining a perfect score while playing Operation.
For more than 30 years, Embassy Studios' technicians have cultivated flourishing heads of hair with a multitude of services, ranging from laser treatments to custom hairpieces to surgical transplants. They help healthy strands sprout from the scalps of men and women, working to seamlessly imbue strong, natural-looking tresses into thinning or balding manes. Embassy Studios also offers Neo Graft hair transplants, which aim to provide a more natural-looking hairline without scarring, staples, or sutures. The team also devises thoughtful, personalized hair-restoration plans for clients undergoing medically related hair loss. Services are also bolstered by a resident crew of stylists, who can guide customers toward flattering 'dos and appropriate products and dole out proper-care tips, such what kind of gloves to wear when cleaning locks with bleach.

Warfighter Support:
Army's and Defense Logistics Agency's Approach for Awarding Contracts for the Army Combat Shirt
GAO-13-57R: Published: Feb 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5431
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
During the fiscal year 2007-12 timeframe, the Army applied statutory and regulatory requirements related to procurement for supplies to award contracts for the Army Combat Shirt. The Army applied these requirements, including those in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Small Business Regulations, to award the following groups of contracts and to respond to demand for the combat shirt and the supply of manufacturers that could produce it:
- contracts awarded on a sole-source basis to 8(a) firms owned by an ANC or anIndian tribe in fiscal years 2007 and 2008 to respond to the urgent need for combat shirts because of an increase in warfighters being burned by improvised explosive devices in theater.
- contracts awarded to NIB and NISH nonprofit agencies representing industries for the blind and severely disabled, respectively, in fiscal years 2009 through 2012 to respond to the increasing demand for the combat shirts and the limited capacity of the 8(a) firms that were manufacturing the combat shirts under the existing sole-source contracts.
- a contract awarded on a competitive basis to an 8(a), ANC-owned firm in fiscal year 2011 to respond to the need for an additional source of supply to manufacture the combat shirts and to introduce competition as a means of reducing cost of the combat shirt.
Since fiscal year 2011, DLA has been responsible for sustainment contracts for the Army Combat Shirt. According to DLA contracting officials, DLA plans to award contracts by March 2013 by applying statutory and regulatory procurement requirements, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Small Business Regulations.
Why GAO Did This Study
Flame-resistant clothing has been typically used by warfighters to protect them in situations where they face serious exposure to fire or incendiary devices. Prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, Department of Defense (DOD) personnel wearing flame-resistant clothing were mainly aviators, fuel handlers, and combat-vehicle crewmembers. However, with the growing prevalence of improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan, warfighters serving there have been exposed more frequently to the risk of fire-related injuries. To provide warfighters deploying into combat areas (including Iraq and Afghanistan) with a garment that can mitigate the risk of sustaining fire-related injuries, the Army procured the Army Combat Shirt, which is a flame-resistant, moisture-wicking shirt designed specifically to protect warfighters against burns and provide maximum comfort as well. Through the Army Program Executive Office Soldier-- the program manager responsible for the initial procurement of the Army Combat Shirt--the Army began procuring this shirt in fiscal year 2007 and through fiscal year 2012 has awarded over $310 million in contracts for the combat shirt. These contracts have been awarded to 8(a) firms and to the National Industries for the Blind (NIB) and NISH nonprofit agencies. Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) assumed responsibility for sustainment contracting of the Army Combat Shirt and began the process of soliciting proposals and awarding contracts for the combat shirts. Transferring clothing and textile program functions from a military service to DLA is part of DOD's process for managing the life cycle of the procurement of supplies. This report addresses a Congressional request that GAO examine the approach that the Army used to award contracts for the Army Combat Shirt and that DLA is using to prepare to award future ones.

Bussiness will be good , but after 6 months , im losing money and i still have 3 years in the lease , whats my option , and should i ask the landlord for the 60,000$ i have put in his place , which i cant take with me such as decor ,painting , pluming ,electric and grease trap , and what is gonna happened if i dont pay the rent ? Is he just gonna kick me out or he is going to ask for the rent for the rest of the lease , what i should do ? I have already lost all my money and my house i need all the help i can get please thank you
I'd like to know if the lease you signed obligates you personally, or if you protected yourself by using a corporation or a limited liability company. If you protected yourself on the front end then the landlord's remedies for your non-payment are likely going to be limited to something called rent by distress, where they can try to take your property located inside the premises. That would be done by the appropriate Magistrate Court.
If you signed personally, or made a personal guarantee, then the landlord might try to obtain a personal judgment against you for the remaining payments. I think the first step for you would be to carefully review the lease to determine exactly what your exposure is, and then consider whether or not you need to take any additional steps.
Depending on your situation a lawyer might be able to help negiate something with the landlord to give you credit for your improvements if you were to voluntarily give up possession and leave them intact.
Unfortunately, you are obligated under the lease whether or not your business is successful. As for the money you put into the rental premises...look to the terms of the lease to see whether any improvements you make are done at your own risk. I highly doubt that your landlord is going to pay you back for any improvements you made to the premises.
If you don't pay the rent, your landlord can evict you. Depending on the terms of your lease and your state laws, your landlord may be able to accelerate the entire amount of rent due and owing under the lease and take legal action against you for the outstanding amount. If you signed a personal guaranty (which is common in commercial leases), your landlord might come after you personally.
Frankly, if I were you I'd consult a bankruptcy attorney. I'm not saying that you should file bankruptcy, but there may be ways to alleviate the debt owed by your restaurant. There may also be other protections available to you.

Rihanna Already In Town?
by Rob Lucas
posted Mar 5 2013 9:38AM
Rihanna kicks off her Diamonds World Tour this Friday at FNC...but it looks like she's in town already. A Star Fan connected with us this morning saying that an unusual jet landed at Buffalo Niagara International this morning around 6:30. He checked the tail number and landing info on an Aviation site, and it said the
plane came in from London, which is where Rihanna was just yesterday.
While many "sightings" like this usually end up being nothing, Rihanna arriving in Buffalo a few days early totally makes sense.
An extra day or two to rehearse her first show
(and the Sabres are away so the arena is free), and to get her body acclimated back to our time zone is totally on target.
Drew tweeted us the attached pic of what he says is her plane (hmmmm...I'm not sure if this is even the Buffalo airport...can you tell?) He's gotta work at the airport...how do you get so close?
Any Rihanna sightings? Hit me up on twitter @roblucas2 or e-mail your pics to firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll hit you back with on air shout outs and props!

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Andy Griffith, who made homespun Southern wisdom his trademark as the wise sheriff in ''The Andy Griffith Show'' and the rumpled defense lawyer in ''Matlock,'' died Tuesday. He was 86.
Griffith died about 7 a.m. at his coastal home, Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said in a statement.
With special precautions in place, Decatur's Fourth of July fireworks event — the 20th annual — got a green light this week from Mayor John Schultz.
The city of Berne largely escaped the brunt of Friday's storm, although another round of thunderstorms late Sunday afternoon dropped .8 of an inch of badly-needed rainfall on the community.
"We were lucky," said Berne Mayor Bill McKean of the relatively light damage suffered in the city.
"All in all, I'm very pleased with the cleanup; it's going pretty well," Decatur Street/Sanitation Superintendent Jeremy Gilbert said this morning.
City cleanup crews were "nearly halfway through the first pass (of the city)," he said, noting that once completed, a second pass will be made to pick up smaller debris.
People are urged to move their storm debris to curbside to facilitate the cleanup.
