Report: Path to Legal Status Harder For Immigrant Women

A report released late last month by the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) found gender discrimination is built into US immigration law.
Two experts working with the not-for-profit nonpartisan organization spent 10 years interviewing women from Mexico and Central America living in Phoenix, Arizona, about their experiences with the US immigration system and concluded that "immigration laws assume dependencies that privilege male applicants over females and that often make women an afterthought in the implementation of immigration laws."
Published just ahead of the Senate debate that started Tuesday on the comprehensive immigration reform bill S744, the report documents the damage done by the sexism that its findings suggest runs rampant in the implementation of immigration laws regulating visas, family reunification, political asylum and support for undocumented victims of domestic violence.
Building from a previous IPC report that found visas based on employment were more skewed along gender lines than other visa categories, coauthors Drs. Cecilia Menjivar and Olivia Salcido interviewed women working jobs classified as "low-skilled," for which only 5,000 visas are available each year. It is estimated about 1.8 million people immigrate to the United States each year.
"There is no reason why the US government would want to grant me legalization for cleaning or cooking or taking care of the couple," said a Guatemalan woman who supported her family on three jobs as a janitor, fast-food employee and eldercare provider. The IPC report calls for laws that give greater status to typically unpaid and low-paid work in sectors like child care and food service.
The authors also spoke to women in the professions who faced other problems, including a Mexican woman who was denied a visa three times because, officials told her, a good-looking single woman ran the risk of overstaying, apparently implying fears that she would enter into a romantic relationship and decide not to return to Mexico.
Menjivar said there is only so much legislation can do to curb discrimination and that the next step is training on-the-ground decision makers to recognize their own biases. "They have the law, they have guidelines, but ultimately, these are street-level bureaucrats that make decisions based on their own personal views," she said.
Women seeking political asylum face more obstacles because they are less likely to be seen as credible political actors, the report found. A Salvadoran woman was denied asylum not only because she had not saved the written death threats her family received during the war in her country, but because the threats were directed at her husband.
After a long fight to reauthorize a new Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to protect more survivors of domestic and sexual violence, undocumented immigrant women are still at risk of being effectively held hostage by abusive partners, who often threaten to have them deported if they speak out. The denial rate is high for the special visas available under VAWA for undocumented women who need a way out of abusive relationships, and the Department of Homeland Security asks for additional evidence in these cases more often than it does for other types of visa petitions, according to the VAWA Law Blog. Women seeking visas under VAWA must prove they lived with their abuser, but the IPC report found that they are often completely excluded from documents like leases, bills or any kind of paper trail that would make that possible.
The Senate bill is known as the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act. The provisions in its 1,000 pages are as wide-ranging and potentially contradictory as the name suggests.

|Digitaria sanguinalis
|Scientific classification
See text.
|Wikimedia Commons has media related to Digitaria.
Digitaria is a genus of about 300 species of grass (family Poaceae) native to tropical and warm temperate regions. Common names include crabgrass, finger-grass, and fonio. They are slender monocotyledonous annual and perennial lawn, pasture, and forage plants; some are often considered lawn pests. Digitus is the Latin word for "finger", and they are distinguished by the long, finger-like inflorescences they produce.
All Digitaria species have similar growth habits and flowering structures, but species are separated by minor differences in the flower structures and leaf pubescence.[2][not in citation given] They typically have spreading stems with wide, flat leaf blades that lie on the ground with the tips ascending. The inflorescence is a panicle in which the spike-like branches are arranged in a digitate fashion. The spikelets are arranged in two rows on an angled or winged rachis. Each spikelet has two florets, only one of which is fertile. The first bracts at the base of the spikelets are either very minute or absent.[citation needed]
Digitaria species seeds have a long germination period; if conditions are right, it can germinate throughout the growing season[citation needed]. Digitaria species occur in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of both Hemispheres.
Though some Digitaria species are considered weeds, others have uses, especially as food. The seeds, most notably those of fonio, can be toasted and ground into a flour, which can be used to make porridge or fermented to make beer. Fonio has been widely used as a staple crop in parts of Africa. It also has decent nutrient qualities as a forage for cattle.
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (January 2014)
The prevalent species of Digitaria in North America are large crabgrass (D. sanguinalis), sometimes known as hairy crabgrass; and smooth crabgrass (D. ischaemum). These species often become problem weeds in lawns and gardens, growing especially well in thin lawns that are watered lightly, underfertilized, and poorly drained. They are annual plants, and one plant is capable of producing 150,000 seeds per season. The seeds germinate in the late spring and early summer and outcompete the domesticated lawn grasses, expanding outward in a circle up to 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. In the autumn when the plants die they leave large voids in the lawn. The voids then become prime areas for the crabgrass seeds to germinate the following season.
Biological control is preferable over herbicide use on lawns, as crabgrass emergence is not the cause of poor lawn health but a symptom, and it will return annually if the lawn is not restored with fertilization and proper watering. Crabgrass is quickly outcompeted by healthy lawn grass because, as an annual plant, crabgrass dies off in autumn and needs open conditions for its germination the following spring.

TVXQ – Keep Your Head Down
GET THIS SONG:Download from iTunes Download from YesAsia
One and only kings <3
Amazing!!!! The dance is great and the clothes are the best that I have seen of the them so far.
Amazing!!!! the dance is great and the clothes are the best that I have seen of them
i like them a lot, they are the best and work very hard … but boy do i hate those brown outfits!!! … they ruined the video for me the first part though is EPIC
Changmin's scream = one of the best screams in kpop history!!
The dance is amazing and so is the comeback :D
I LOVE this song. It's so amazing.
This song was the BOMB! After coming back from two years, they managed to make it strong! And the dancing and singing is EPIC, Changmin scream!
I love dbsk!
Awesome Videooo!!!
We need to make some more noise about this song. Come on Cassies. Where you at?
Best Music! Best choreography *u* TVXQ rules!
THIS IS SUCH AN EPIC SONG!!!!! <33 I love every second of it! ^^
Even more epic than the choreography for this song would be seeing Simon & Martina try to do it for their How To Dance K Pop Style 2011 :))
Love this song and video! I love the stepping influence in the music and how it carried into the choreography :)
Good for studying during finals week :P
this song is totally EPIC!
the best comeback of the year..
try losing more than half of your members, in an ugly separation, the remaining members as the scapegoats and comeback as awesome as this duo :)
they are awesome!
I really love this song, even though I'm not really sure why. Nevertheless you really can't tell that they've lost 3 members. Hardcore TVXQ fans might hate me for this but, in my opinion, them being only two is absolutely sufficient :)
Epic comeback . This is one of my favourite songs now . And I love their dance . Everything about this music video is amazing <3
Everything about this song is absolutely awesome, from the thundering back-beat drums over Yunho's rapping to Changmin's soaring scream near the end. The choreography is pretty durn mindblowing, and it's executed almost effortlessly and with an undeniable air of awesome. I wanted to dance along with it and have been trying to ever since XD
TVXQ! has made a comeback that's nothing short of amazing with this song. It's been on my iPod and on my YouTube ever since it came out, and I've listened to it and watched it at least once a day. It's simply a fabulous song and dance, and the greatest comeback ever. So come on, guys, let's have our boys win this! ♡
A lot of the groups in the running are terrific, and I am a fan of many of them. But this is a dance contest. And from a dance perspective I was totally blown away with not only the choreography, but also by the seeming effortlessness in which some of these moves were executed. This dance had me wanting to get up and join them. That is why I am casting my vote for this video. Also, on a less serious note, the dance was so enjoyable I re-watched this video multiple times even though I was slightly horrified by the outfit choices in which their stylists dressed them. If they can wear those ugly-peacock-couch-suits and still exude such charisma and not stumble in their footing, then, really, they deserve to win. :)
They deserve this!! They convey so much emotion and power with only two people. They are amazing. DB5K is amazing!!!!
Everything about this comeback was AMAZING.
son los mejores
Max Time FTW :) I love this song, it's been in my ipod ever since it came out, and I'm still not tired of it :)
Well they aren't gods for nothing.
This was an epic comeback, they had to fill up JYJ's places and they showed us a new side of them.
And idk about you guys, but everytime someone asks what the time is, I automatically respond with UKNOW TIME :B
…no srsly.
This is the best comeback ever.
Couldn't agree with you more. And… I do that too, AND every time I put out the light, I go MAX TIME. lol
Best Music video ever. The dancing and the song itself is killer. VOTE!
To be honest . I do think Super Junior are good and all but the popularity they have kinda messes up which dances are better :/ just an oppinion.
HoMin made an epic comeback with this song. Not only does it have an amazing and memorable dance, but the MV epitomized their name "Rising Gods of the East." It also inspired the awesome running joke of "Yunho time" vs. "Max time." This video definitely one of my favorites this year.
this is one great music.. yes.not just a song but a music :D ♥
How can you pass the immortal kings of K-Pop? HOW.
HoMin did a hell of a good job with this comeback. Yunho and Changmin showed us that they can do a duo without the other three TVXQ members (I'm still hoping that DBSK reunion rumor is true. AKTF!) and who can forget Changmin's high notes?
Hands down the best comeback for the boys. The live performances are mindblowing.
i'm originally a jrock fan who was introduced by a friend to kpop, and to be honest i was totally unimpressed, since it seemed to me that it was all about fangirling over hot guys — until she showed me this song/mv, i just love the bossy sound, the beat and the catchy bridge with its drums as well as the powerful vocals. since i am more of a rocker and into rough live concerts i wasn't interested in dance performances before, but this dance – among others – made me appreciate the efforts by both TVXQ and the choreographers. it's looks so impressive and difficult! yunho's rap is pretty amazing, too, though i prefer the japanese version for obvious reasons 8D i never skip this song when it comes up on shuffle. THAT is how pop music should sound like, not that mellow stuff that's popular where i'm from.
DBSK the best!
TVXQ JJANGGGGG!!!!!! b>_<d <3
Gods of k-pop!!
love you!
TVXQ jjang!!!
one of the best videos and songs of the year! Everyone expected for this! TVXQ came back as the kings..no! as the Gods they are!
This was the video that first got me into Kpop. It's a shame I never got to see TVXQ as five… but really, were it not for this video and it's all-around AMAZINGNESS I would never have gotten as deep into kpop as I am right now. Honestly, I think this deserves to be in the top three videos and dances of the year, no question. The only thing we might need to change for this video is the wardrobe choices…. :P

VBIT is the place where opportunities are provided for students to realize their ambitions, where new ideas are born, where innovative projects materialize, and where students excel in learning.
"Outstanding" is what our students rate our efforts in nurturing versatile leadership. In VBIT, our faculty members go beyond teaching, they redefine excellence.
Founded in 2004 by highly qualified people, Vignana Bharathi Institute of Technology emerged as a hub for engineering excellence. At VBIT, students will discover engineering in a different light. Students will experience an engineering education that is on par with the industry requirement.
The sprawling 10.2 acre campus has state-of-the-art teaching facilities to train students in emerging technologies. The college is located about 18 kms from Uppal on the Warangal Highway.
VBIT has 60 state-of-the-art laboratories on the campus. The collection in the library, housed in a spacious 2100 sq.m block include more than 23401 volumes covering different engineering streams. As many as 130 (hard copy) and 1650 (soft copy) National and International journals are provided for the students. The institute has imported Unified Digital Library from Tidal Data Technology Ltd., USA that consists of 5000+ Video Lectures from MIT, Stanford, IIT and IISc. Apart from that, the collection of various CD published by SONET. Students and faculty have instant access to Indian and foreign journals in their branches of specialization through Internet.
The Institute has established its exclusive research center in the year 2010 with a view to promoting research activity in all the departments and spreading research culture among its staff members and students. Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) recognized VBIT as a Research Center in the year 2011. There are two major research projects (~ 65 lakhs) sponsored by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) which are getting implemented in the research center. Three fulltime Junior Research Fellows (JRF) are pursuing their Ph.D. work under these projects. Recognizing the research potential of the institute, ISRO has installed a Mini Boundary Layer Mast (MBLM) in the college premises under its PRWONAM programme at a cost of ~ 25 lakhs. This has facilitated the staff members and students to carry out standard research. Some of the students of B. Tech. and M. Tech. courses have taken up projects based on MBLM data (hardware and software).
Under the umbrella of this centralized R & D center, Centers of Excellence have been created in each department. These centers conduct trainings and special lectures by experts which help the students and staff members to update their knowledge and skills. These centers have developed many products like Wind mill unit (ECE/EEE/ME), Automatic Sensor Tap (ECE), Mining MBLM (CSE/IT) and SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM –SOLAR POWER CONTROLLED CHOPPER DRIVE (EEE). The R & D center of VBIT has collaborated with National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL), Gadanki to carry out a joint study on ionospheric delay of satellite signals measured by GPS receiver. The ECE Department of VBIT will also be a part of this study. A dual frequency receiver which operates in L1 and L2 bands (1.2 to 1.5 GHz frequency) with GPS antenna designed to operate at the required frequencies have been installed by NARL, Gadanki at VBIT for this purpose. The study will provide inputs applicability for GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) and satellite based navigation in India.
The R & D center and ECE department of VBIT jointly conducted a national symposium "Current trends in Atmospheric Research including Communication And Navigation aspects" (CARCAN-2012) during 21-22 December, 2012 in the college. It was supported by DST, MoES, ISRO and CSIR, Govt. of India. The conference was attended by many stalwarts in the field. Participants from different corners of the country attended CARCAN-2012 and made it a grand success.
Training, Placement, Career Guidance and Entrepreneurship Development Cell, commonly known as Training and Placement Cell caters to the development of students skills and ensure relations with industry for campus recruitment. Our unique efforts to train our students for various competitive examinations like GRE, TOEFL, and GATE are highly appreciated by all the stakeholders.
At VBIT, emphasis on students active participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities like participation in activities of professional societies, sports and cultural events is equally given. With the sole motto of nurturing the leadership, we have established "Students Activity Centre" (SAC) which is an apex body of 16 forums. This systematic approach to encourage students' activities and explore their talent brought many laureates at home. IEEE Student Branch of VBIT bagged Outstanding Student Branch Award during 09-10 in Hyderabad region and has been selected for the prestigious Darrel Chong Student Activity Award (Gold Prize) for 2011.This is an international award with a global recognition, which is awarded annually to IEEE student branches that constantly encourage and motivate students to continue, innovate and implement meaningful ideas.
The institute situated hardly a kilometer from the main road (NH163), transport is absolutely hassle free. The college operates 23 buses on its own, while the APSRTC operates one bus service to the college from Ghatkesar.
The cafeteria of VBIT is where students relax, have healthy food and refreshments along with lot of academic discussions. The facilities for sports and games at VBIT are laudable. Volleyball and Cricket teams of our Institute have won many Champion trophies at University and State levels. Since 2004, almost 75 students are selected in University teams for Inter University and Inter State tournaments.

Australian firm doubles Eagle Ford position
Sundance Energy Australia Ltd. is more than doubling its leasehold in the Eagle Ford shale after agreeing to purchase 11,000 net contiguous acres in the South Texas formation from an unidentified seller.
Sundance, based in Norwood, South Australia, is set to acquire 5,500 net acres in Dimmit County and 5,500 net acres in Maverick County-increasing its position in the shale formation to roughly 19,500 net acres.
The agreement calls for Sundance to pay $33 million upfront and commit to drilling four gross Eagle Ford wells. Sundance also has the right to acquire the seller's remaining 40% interest in Dimmit County and 20% working interest in Maverick County for $45 million.
"We are very excited to add a second core Eagle Ford area to our development inventory. Dimmit County has seen significant activity and strong results from some of the leading Eagle Ford operators such as Anadarko," said Eric McCrady, managing director of Sundance.
The acquisition will add roughly 69 net locations to the company's Eagle Ford drilling inventory and an estimated 200 boe/d of production. Sundance also expects to add about 350,000 boe of reserves composed of 55-60% oil.
Wells on the acquired acreage are likely to be drilled with 5,500-ft laterals at costs expected to average less than $6.5 million/well.
McCrady said: "There is significant upside to reserves and returns per well because the lease configuration provides for completed lateral length over 5,500 ft."
The purchase builds on Sundance's 7,336 net acres in McMullen County, Tex. Those assets, acquired in March 2013, include 4.4 net producing wells and produce 700 boe/d. Sundance expects to move one rig to the acquired acreage from McMullen County in the third quarter.
Sundance also has US operations in the Denver-Julesburg basin, the Anadarko basin, and the Williston basin.
The Eagle Ford deal is expected to close by early July.

I was wondering if they would change the cards since a Chase credit card was listed in my BK 7 in 2004. I have had the Wamu cards for almost two years with a perfect pay history and low util.
Thank you for posting this information! I would not have known to call otherwise.
Update, got my new Home Improvements Reward card in the mail today and one for my AU Wifey. They are rather odd looking ducks. Orange-ish color with a paint bucket and brush, just says CHASE, nothing else.
Oh well, that's the important part I guess. LOL. Beats the daylights out of WAMU.

Welcome to today's Surrey Live - bringing you breaking news, all the latest headlines from around the county and regular traffic & travel updates.
If there's something you want to tell us about, tweet @getsurrey, post on our Facebook page or email Surrey Live.
GOOD MORNING: Hello Surrey and welcome to today's live blog.
I will be bringing you all the latest news, traffic and travel across the county this morning.
Thanks for joining me on what is set to be another sunny day.
SUNBURY FATAL: A husband and wife aged in their 80s died after they were hit by a heavy goods lorry in Sunbury Cross yesterday morning.
The elderly pedestrians were struck by the white vehicle in Crossways at around 10.45am, between Sunbury Cross Shopping Centre and the Tesco car park.
Police, paramedics and two air ambulances were called to the cul-de-sac, but the pair were sadly both pronounced dead at the scene.
COUNTRYSIDE WEEK: Our group deputy editor Debby Thompson is celebrating National Countryside Week.
Here is one of her latest offerings.
Another lovely morning on my way in to @getsurrey HQ. Happy #countrysideweek pic.twitter.com/BXl80uJcAM— Debby Thompson (@debby15) July 17, 2014
TRAVEL: A quick look reveals all the roads across the county are currently incident free, although this could well change as the rush hour gets into full swing.
I will keep you updated.
ATTEMPTED RAPE RETRIAL: A jury has been unable to reach verdicts on three out of four charges against an ex-Surrey police officer accused of raping a young girl.
Follow a week-long trial at Guildford Crown Court, Salim Ismail was found not guilty on Tuesday (July 15) of rape, but jurors were then unable to reach agreement on a further charge of attempted rape plus two counts of indecent assault.
WEATHER: Health watchdogs are warning of a risk to public health as temperatures are set to soar across the region on Friday and into the weekend.
Officials from Public Health England (PHE) are urging people in Surrey and north-east Hampshire to take suitable precautions, after the Met Office announced a 60% probability of 'heatwave' conditions between 8am tomorrow and the same time on Sunday.
Temperatures up to 28C or even higher are expected on Friday, with a very humid night to follow.
PHE warned that heatwave conditions could have a "significant effect on health".
The organisation has urged people to consider how the heat may affect them or their loved ones following the Met Office announcement.
TRAVEL: Traffic is slow on the M25 clockwise between junction 9 at Leatherhead and 10 at Wisley.
There is also heavy traffic onthe M3 London bound between junction 4 at Camberley) and 3 at Bagshot/Lightwater.
GUILFEST 2014: With just one day to go until the launch of GuilFest 2014, the site at Stoke Park in Guildford is nearing completion.
With a giant line-up and acts performing from early as midday tomorrow, the stages will see some heavy usage throughout the weekend.

FOOTBALL ACADEMY BLOW: Almost 25 secondary school leavers have had the plug pulled on a college course designed to help them pursue a career in football.
The students were told just days before inductions for the Level 3 Sport BTEC Football Academy course were due to begin that it was cancelled, leaving them without plans for the next two years.
The course was to run through Strode's College in Egham, using football facilities at Matthew Arnold School in Staines, with coaching from Chelsea Football Club.
SPORT: Martyn Spong is predicting a bright future for some of Staines Town's young stars.

WAVERLEY DOWSERS: Unusual methods were used to search for the site of an old farm building in Farnborough, to add weight to an historian's years of research.
Waverley Dowsers, with members from Farnborough, Lightwater and Farnham, met at King George V Playing Fields, off Sycamore Road, with the intention of answering questions about a farm thought to have sat in the park – formerly the Knellwood Estate – in the early 19th century.
Dowsers attempt to tap into energy sources using a variety of tools including metal rods, pendula and other gadgets, visualising questions and then watching for small movements to interpret as answers.
SWAN UPPING: A tradition dating back centuries returned to the riverbanks of Shepperton and Chertsey on Monday for the annual Swan Upping.
More than 100 people watched various motorised and rowing boats pass through on their journey to monitor the population of the Mute Swan along the River Thames.
The size of the crowd was not matched by the swans though, as the royal birds failed to make an appearance – but the Royal Swan Uppers were still in good spirits.
DUCK RACE: A quacking good time was had by hundreds of people who lined the banks of the River Mole to enjoy the Leatherhead Duck Race on Sunday (July 15).

SCHOOL APPEAL: An appeal has gone out to former students of Glyn School in Epsom.
The school in The Kingsway is one of nearly 500 state schools and colleges across Britain registered with the charity Future First to set up networks of former students or alumni.
Future First's vision is that every state school or college should be supported by a thriving, engaged alumni community that helps it to do more for its students.
More than 60,000 former students across Britain have already signed up to stay connected with their old school.
They have inspiring young people in a number of ways; as career and education role models, mentors or e-mentors, work experience providers, governors, donors or fundraisers.
"More than 39% of state school students don't know anyone in a job they'd like to do," said Alex Shapland-Howes, managing director of Future First.
"If they see that someone who went to the same school, grew up in the same community, has achieved a fulfilling and satisfying job, it helps them see it's possible for them too. It's really important for all students to be motivated to succeed in the working world and hearing first hand from relatable people in interesting jobs can make a huge difference."
Glyn School head Ian Keary said: "We are really excited about connecting with former students using the Future First networks programme. We believe that the valuable experience of the former students will be vital in helping us to prepare our current students for the next steps in their lives, whether that be the challenges of further education or the world of employment."
Former students who want to help should email firstname.lastname@example.com or can click on the "Former Students" link on www.futurefirst.org.uk.
GUILFEST WEATHER WARNING: Visitors to this year's GuilFest will experience the best and worst of British weather this weekend, the Met Office says.
Hot, humid air pushed up from Spain is likely to nudge the temperature at Stoke Park on the festival's opening day tomorrow up to 28C - but with that warm weather comes the risk of thunderstorms and heavy showers.

"It was a good time because a delivery driver arrived and then the police."
ATTEMPTED BREAK IN: Russell Butt has also spoken to the delivery driver who saw the would-be thieves ram a police car.
The driver, known simply as Dave, said: "The car was parked just outside the front of the sotre. I came with the van to do a delivery and they were just in the car. I wondered what they were doing in there, if they were working inside because the shutter was up.
"When I was unloading the boxes the police came. There were three police cars and a police van.
"They [the thieves] rammed the police car then put it in reverse and sped off down Fordbridge Road.
"I was shocked, I was shaken for a few seconds. It was like something out of Hollywood, in three minutes it was all over. The police followed him but I don't think they would have caught him."
Dave told Russell Butt that a police officer had said it was too dangerous to pursue the car.

Kelly Ruff, Neighbourhood Housing Manager for Affinity Sutton said: "We take all allegations of anti-social behaviour seriously and we always work with the Police in taking whatever action is necessary."
Anyone who has information on illegal drug activity or anti-social behaviour in their area and would like some help and advice should contact their Surrey Police Safer Neighbourhood Team by calling 101 or Guildford Borough Council on 01483 505050.

M25 LORRY: There were major delays on the M25 on Thursday afternoon after a lorry flipped onto its side.
Queuing traffic backed up to junction 13 for Staines after the lorry ended up in the position on the anticlockwise carriageway at junction 12.
The driver was unharmed.
HANDOVER: Just going on a break now. My colleague David Stubbings will be manning the SurreyLive blog.
HANDOVER: Well, here we are again. I'm with you for the second time today and what a gloriously warm evening it is. If you are indoors - on a train, in a car, still at work - whatever - I hope you have air conditioning!
M25: As you know the M25 is bad tonight, so I sincerely hope you have air conditioning if you're stuck on it.
A reminder of where the problems are.
Clockwise from junction 9 (Leatherhead) to 10 (A3 Wisley Interchange) because of an earlier vehicle fire which closed one lane. However all are now reopened.
Anticlockwise from junction 12 (M3) back up to junction 14 (Heathrow Terminal 4) because of an overturned lorry on the hard shoulder. One lane was closed but all have been reopened now.
Clockwise - once you get beyond the vehicle fire, if you're heading north you will hit more traffic because of an accident involving a car and motorbike between junctions 16 and 17 which required completed closure while the air ambulance attended the scene. All lanes are open again but the queues are long.
OTHER TRAVEL: Here's some non-M25 related travel news for you now.
M23 northbound is queueing between the junction with the M25 and the junction with the A23.
Leatherhead bypass is busy but moving.
A31 is busy but moving at the Shepherd and Flock Roundabout in Farnham.
TOILET HUMOUR: It's not been a great week for this man and his first day in his new job didn't go as smoothly as hoped when he got stuck in a loo.
The MP and former education secretary missed a speech in the House of Commons as a result.
ATTEMPTED BREAK IN: You may have read this earlier if you were with me on the blog.
Eyewitness described the scene at a Londis store as being like something out of "Hollywood" as thieves smashed into a police car in their getaway vehicle before hurtling off after a failed raid on this Londis store.
A Londis delivery man, who did not want to be named, arrived at the shop shortly after the suspects. He told Get Surrey: "Their car was parked out from the curb, just outside the store, when I came with the van to do a delivery. The driver pulled away and rammed the police car, then put it in reverse and sped off down Fordbridge Road, in a fast car, like a BMW 330.
M25: Still the same as earlier on the M25 with a number of queues in both directions. They are at:
Clockwise from junction 9 (Leatherhead) to 10 (A3 Wisley Interchange) because of an earlier vehicle fire which closed one lane. However all are now reopened.
Anticlockwise from junction 12 (M3) back up to junction 14 (Heathrow Terminal 4) because of an overturned lorry on the hard shoulder. One lane was closed but all have been reopened now.
Clockwise - once you get beyond the vehicle fire, if you're heading north you will hit more traffic because of an accident involving a car and motorbike between junctions 16 and 17 which required completed closure while the air ambulance attended the scene. All lanes are open again but the queues are long.
IT'S HOT: With temperatures set to reach 32C tomorrow (take that sun cream if you're going out!), Surrey Police has also issued some rather sensible advice.
Tomorrow will be the hottest day yet & Friday Roads will be busy. Make sure you have water with you on your journey. pic.twitter.com/Kc2bTfuOq3— Surrey Roads Police (@SurreyRoadCops) July 17, 2014
STAINES TOWN: Manager Marcus Gayle has called up an old friend to help get the Swans closer to the Conference Premier.
Andrew Driscoll is a strength and conditioning coach who will be a regular feature at training sessions throughout next season.
"He doesn't do static stretching he does dynamic stretching," said Gayle. "Andrew's old school like me but has some innovative ideas and he is all about injury prevention."
HANDOVER: Right that's it from me. Paul is back for the final hour of the day so I wil leave you with him. Have a good evening.
HANDOVER: I'm back for the final hour on this scorchingly hot Thursday July 17!
SCRAP HEAP IN THE SKY: Sounds like a song I'm trying to forget. It's the destination for this vehicle.

MICHAEL GOVE: A reminder that the Surrey Heath MP missed his first speech in the House of Commons as chief whip because he got stuck in a toilet.
The unfortunate incident happened in the same week he was removed as the education secretary following a controversial term.
MINI DRAMA: There's no shortage of puns at Surrey Roads Police or access to recovery trucks to tow away cars which are being illegally driven.

M25 LORRY: Still delays following the lorry which flipped over on the M25 anti-clockwise between junction 12 and 13. There was congestion on the M25 to junction 14 A3113 Airport Way / Horton Road (Heathrow Terminal 4).
The lorry overturned on the hard shoulder, requiring a lane one (of two) closure on the exit slip road for a time. This has now re-opened, though delays remain on the approach.
GUILFEST: Is now just hours away. And the festival begins on what is predicted to be the hottest day of the year so far.

DIGITAL SLIMMING: Some students are not keen on the idea of pictures of their graduation being retouched.
Redhill firm Success Photography, which offers to "reduce the size of bulky graduation gowns", has faced a backlash.
Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, one graduate said: "They've squeezed us for every penny.
"And on our final day they're asking for another tenner to remove the weight I've put on because I've not been able to afford fresh fruit and veg.
"This is just another example of fat-shaming."

Fantastic beam. Great shape and design. For a dive light, you cannot beat the price. May be a little hard to mount to BCD. It could use a good tether to attach to you scuba suit. Perfect size.

The State Budget for 2013-14 is not expected to roll out any new schemes in view of the election year
The State Budget for 2013-14 may not roll out any new schemes in view of the election year, but all the key sectors will get enhanced allocations.
New schemes need not be part of the State budget proposals. They can be announced during the course of the financial year as per the government's decision.
However, a final call will be taken by the Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy once he goes through the draft budget speech, said Finance Minister Anam Ramanarayan Reddy.
But two new key changes in the new budget would be SC, ST sub-plan allocation and the agriculture budget that will make allocation and utilisation of funds to the priority sectors mandatory to meet the set objectives. These two major changes in the new budget are enough to impact positively the lives of farmers, artisans and the Dalits, he said.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Ramnarayana Reddy said the major benefit of the agriculture budget is that it addresses fund requirement for procurement of agricultural commodities, marketing, supply of seeds, fertilisers, pesticides apart from agricultural operations.
"This will facilitate coordination between the allied departments including civil supplies and irrigation for better planning and execution of programmes to benefit the farmers, ensure minimum support price, procurement and marketing facilities for their agricultural produce," he said.
As in Madhya Pradesh where Krishi Cabinet meetings are held exclusively to review agricultural sector, the State may also follow suit from the next financial year to review spending of allocated funds.
With the budget proposals to be studied by different standing committees, it will also ensure fair amount of discussion instead of guillotining of the budget. "Each committee will have about 40 members.
Even if all the members may not be well versed with budget analysis, at least 10 members in each committee would examine and give meaningful suggestions," he added.
The 22.8 per cent of budget allocation for SC, ST sub-plans under the new legislation cannot be diverted to other departments from hereafter and it entails careful planning of the schemes and programmes by all the departments to utilise the funds earmarked for SC, STs on the basis of their population.

This is easy to make and is a wonderful tasting first course. My guests were very complimentary. I served this with a Red Snapper dish. I will make this again. I did not change the recipe. The only thing I am thinking about changing is to dice the squash before roasting. When I was scooping the squash out I had to deal with the peel sticking to the squash. That is but a small thing. Alton is a hoot!

This is an easy recipe to make. You will be proud to serve this, and family members will be impressed as it is from scratch. I first served it as a starter course at Thanksgiving. It was an immediate favorite. Because of the smooth consistency children to older adults will enjoy this dish. I added a quarter clove of garlic to each squash half during the baking process. Also a pinch of fresh sage and I put a cinnamon stick on the pan. Thanks Alton!

Adrian Morris
Adrian Grant Morris (May 18, 1929 in London, England – December 6, 2004 also in London) was an English painter.[1]
Background and education[edit]
Morris spent his childhood in rural Somerset before the family moved to the USA, where he attended the progressive Putney School in Vermont. There his precocious talent for painting, inspired by the surrealists in New York, was given full rein. On his return to the UK in 1947, after completion of National Service in the army and spells at art schools in London (Anglo-French Art Centre) and Paris (L'Académie de la Grande Chaumière), he finished his art education at the Royal Academy Schools.
Although a dedicated painter all his life, Morris was reserved in showing his work, but over the years he did exhibit at a number of leading London galleries, including the Hayward Annual in 1978 where sixteen of his works were shown alongside artists including Sandra Blow, Elizabeth Frink, and Stephen Cox. sketched ideas for paintings at every opportunity, especially when he was away from his studio, teaching. Dominating themes were the earth, its vulnerability to both natural and man-made disasters and the effect on its inhabitants.
Morris was inspired in the 1960s by the NASA programme and the views of distant, barren terrain seen through a spacecraft hatch. Although figures, such as astronauts, refugees, wounded soldiers and poor rural workers, feature strongly in preliminary sketches, they seldom survive into the finished works - as William Packer observed in The Times, the figures had gone "leaving a space or structure in which a figure indeed might be, but as an implicit presence". These, typically, are painted in oil on gessoed panels, which are pared down to the minimum, every square inch minutely considered.
Exhibitions and critical opinion[edit]
Following a retrospective exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in London in May/June, 2008, works were included in their mixed Autumn exhibition, 2009.[citation needed] The gallery mounted a further show of his paintings and works on paper from 8 June to 29 July 2010. Most recently his works featured in a group show at the Redfern Gallery 'Landscape' - Paintings, drawings and prints by a number of artists including: Sir Terry Frost RA, William Gear RA, Sir Cedric Morris bt, and Patrick Procktor. The exhibition ran from 15 May to 31 July 2012.[citation needed]
♦ "Morris's work speaks directly of the anxieties and hopes we now harbour about our planet's state in the twenty-first century. There is an impressive level of consistency and rigour running through his mature output. It amounts to a formidable corpus of work. The paintings' austere, hard-won and, above all precient eloquence deserves to be recognised today".[2]
♦ "A distinctive and distinguished painter, his work is elusive of category, its own thing, minimal rather than minimalist, abstracted rather than abstract, worked always with a scrupulous address to the matter of the painting, not just as an image but as a thing".[3]
♦ "Adrian Morris's work cannot easily be located in contemporary art...This image of pioneering work in remote places often acts as a metaphor of exploration into the mental or physical unknown or as the artist described it: 'Journeying out into space as far as the mind can go and one can physically follow, while at the same time retaining one's rots in the earth — man must and will migrate further'".[4]
♦ "The images are tense and still, the paint rubbed into the gesso, layer on layer until it seems to become the material it depicts, metal and sand, amplifying the disquiet...Morris's imagery leads us to infer a somehow sacrosanct 'humanist' or 'existential' content.[5]

They've All Loved Me
But, my last one died a few years ago a couple years after her husband so currently I have no motherinlaw to dote on me. Shucks! They even made special vegetarian dishes for me.
YAY!!! TRY This???

Remember to treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Start practicing some real deep self-Love. ( From the inside out)

You have the Breath of Life and Love inside you honor it.

Remember to Love, Protect and Share it for yourself & others.

Do the same for the Temple (your body) your Breath of Life & Love resides within.

Once you accomplish this the universe will forgive your transgressions.

Your life will take on better choices and outcomes.

If Love does not reside in the self ..how can you expect others to Love you???

Keep trying Your Creator has things in control more than you think.

Much Love & HUGS, livingwell
