TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE ; 15 October 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18381015-TC-AC-01; CL 10: 198-203
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 15th Octr, 1838—
My dear Alick,
I write to you rather than to Jack, not knowing whether Jack may not have already left you, as things have turned out. Nay, I am not without expectation of seeing Jack today yet before the Post go off. And this is one of the reasons why I did not write sooner. At any rate I send you my history; understanding that with you it will be most convenient for inspection by all parties, by Jack if he is still with you, among others. You will without delay convey it to my Mother too; and so all will be put on a clear footing, and settled for the next chapter in continuation.
Your gig remained in my sight, that day, till it got to the white house again, or nearly so: I saw Ben Nelson take leave of you from the rearward, and the Doctor and Alick roll off, till they died away into a point for me, and all was over on that side for one other time. It is a great mercy that we were privileged to meet; one should think of that, and not of the pain of parting. I had been gratified as of old with the true brotherly love of one and all; gratified to see you struggling along under better auspices than of late; I had much to gratify me.1 Struggle on, my brave ones! All good be with you till we meet again!— Our voyage to Liverpool was prosperous enough; a clam chill evening; the sheep sore afflicted, the men all tolerably off: I myself spoke no word, or hardly any; looked at the broad Millpath face of Porteous,2 saw once or twice half-roasted half-distracted visage of Butcher Douglas3 from the deck side-hutches (where he seemed to be drinking, smoking, and not well to live); your brandy was of excellent service, my pipe went well; and so about midnight we discerned the Rock of Liverpool, and all its multifarious lights rising round us,—one great blaze among the rest which, we ascertained afterwards to be a huge Fire, still going on tho' in a subdued state;4 and finally, amid immense yoho-ing, bullyragging and other tumult, we saw ourselves, about one in the morning, all run safely into moorings in the Dock, and at liberty to land if we liked. To the last moment it was uncertain with me what I would do: however, a porter offering himself "for eighteen pence, Sir," to the Angel Hôtel, I set off with him, several others following on the same quest of a bed to sleep in. The Angel, or Wellington, or whatever it was, would not take us in; but some Royal Hôtel, close by, did: there, after kicking our heels for a good while, in the empty lobby, in the dead of night, and relying mainly on Patience and the goodwill of "Boots" (for he had our fate in his hands), the wearied individuals did, I suppose, get into some kind of sleeping-cribs; I at least did, and could bolt the door upon myself about two in the morning, and say: Here I will be private till the morrow if it please Heaven. I supped on your brandy and one of Mary's crackers; indeed, you may tell her and yourself that nothing of the sort could have been usefuller than your kind gifts proved: thanks to your kind hearts for them! Your pocket-comb was right serviceable too; I found I had forgot the other. Tell my Mother not to fret herself in the smallest about it, as I know she has been doing; I got an excellent one since I came hither. In fine all was right enough. The sooty smell of Liverpool awoke me in the morning about eight; I dressed and walked off to Maryland Street5 for breakfast: too early still by an hour.
There was no train for Manchester till five in the evening, so have they arranged it on Sundays. I sat with George Johnston, sat with poor Mrs Welsh, or with the others when they returned from church. Poor Mrs Welsh seemed to me to be evidently in the worst state: I think she feels herself to be departing fast, and has very nobly taken up her attitude as to that. She used to be a restless noisy bustling house-mother; she is now a courageous devout woman, silently gathered together to die.6 Ah me! I have seen nothing that affected me more, for years.— But at length, five came, and half-past six; and I saw Hanning waiting on the outlook for me, and was soon settled in a coach by him, and on the way to Jersey street,7 across dark streets, with here and there the flare of a Methodist Chapel starting out on them. In one dark street, a drunken Coachman drove against us; fairly drove our hind wheels and axle out from beneath us! Our coach jolted amazingly, as if crossing a ditch of a yard deep, and then hung wrecked; but to us there was no damage done at all, not even to my trunk, tho' it had jumped down to the pavement, and was lying there. In two minutes the drunken coachman had been seized, his number taken, and witnesses bespoken; and we were mounted in a new coach which took us home without accident. Jenny was well, and the little child; they have a decent shifty [resourceful]-looking little maid-servant, and all seemed to be going well with them. A bed had been provided for the Doctor, not in the inn, but in the house itself; I slept in my Mother's bed, which I remembered in the old house:8 I was just closing my senses in sweet oblivion when the Watchman, with a voice like the deepest bass of the Highland bagpipe, or what an Ostrich-Corncraik9 might utter, groaned out, "groo-o-oo," close under me, and set all a-gallop again. "Groo-o-oo!" for there was no articulate announcement at all in it that I could gather, "Groo-o-oo," repeated again and again, at various distances, dying out and then growing loud again; for an hour or more: this seemed to be the employment the worthy functionary had chalked out for himself to pass the night in: I grew impatient; bolted out of bed, flung up the window: "Groo-o-oo" there he was, advancing, lantern in hand, a few yards off me! "Can't you give up that noise?" I hastily addressed him: "You are keeping a person awake. What good is it to go howling and groaning there all night, and deprive people of their sleep!" He ceased from that time; at least I heard no more of him. No watchman, I think, has been more astonished for some time back. At five in the morning, all was still as sleep and darkness; at half-past five, all went off like an enormous mill-race, or ocean-tide, "Boom-m-m!" far and wide: it was the mills that were all starting then, and creeshy [greasy] drudges by the million taking post there; I have heard few sounds more impressive to me,—in the mood I was in.10 Jenny and Rob were as kind to me as kind could be. They seemed to be doing well; plenty of rough business, and st[ou]t hearts for it: I was glad I had not grieved them by passing by without a visit, tho' my visit was [too] hurried for being satisfactory. Newspapers both from Liverpool and Manchester were duly despatched to my Mother; you ought to have got the first of them on Monday morning. I went off by the Railway at a quarter past nine that morning.
I will not detain you with my Railway journey: it was one of the strangest in character that I ever made; so lonely, for our road has no houses near it yet; so new, so enchanted-looking! We went at all rates, from thirty miles an hour, to a mile and half,—the rate at which, according to Jamie, "cuddies [donkeys] can long hold out after they are done." One whole hour, shortly after sunset, we remained stagnant, perhaps some 200 of us, in the belly of a chalk-hill, the bottom of a ditch sixty or seventy feet deep, with two men and candles waiting by us, and a little stripe of sky overhead,—till they ran off with our steam-horse, and brought back another stronger, able to draw us out. Much of the road is unfinished yet, nothing but the mere iron laid down, and the arrangements of all kinds incomplete. I had little or no dinner but Mary's two remaining crackers: however, I felt no hunger; there was no danger, there was room enough, warmth enough, no discomfort to complain of, tho' we were some three hours beyond our time. Near midnight I got safe and comfortably home; Jane, with tea and eggs, sitting gleg [eager] in expectation of me. She is better than I have seen her for a long time; I myself too am quite rested now, and decidedly in better case than I have too often been in of late years.11 I have been gathering my gear about me, making my arrangements; I have even settled with the Review Editor, so pressing was he, to begin a little "Article" for him without loss of a moment: I have settled the subject (a German Book of small moment), and shall be underway tomorrow.12 This is all the news about me, in London.— But about the Doctor—Lady Clare's servants had been here every day for some days inquiring. When? When? For her Ladyship had fallen ill, and none but her Doctor could give help. She seems to me to be rather well served; she should have kept him in her pay I think, not turned him out to grass, in the hope of getting him when she pleased to whistle! However, I went up to her Hôtel directly on the morrow morning; sent in my card with a corteous [sic] message; her Courier came down: How could one get to Scotsbrig, and in how long? I said, ["]by railway, in about four-and-twenty hours; but they had better write." My calculation accordingly is that a Letter would arrive with "speed" on it, probably on Thursday morning. Now I discern from Newspapers that the Doctor was up at Templand then, that he came thro' Dumfries on Friday, that Saturday was the soonest he could think of starting. So perhaps he will be here today? Or perhaps he still will not think of setting off till his own time come? I have heard nothing of her since Tuesday morning. The Doctor will have decided for himself. People here seem to think that Rome, this winter, might be a better place than we thought it, so many English are gone thitherward. They also seem to say he ought to demand four hundred pounds from her Ladyship if he wait for her. I cannot advise in it. His room is ready here, and his welcome; let him write to me instantly if he be not already on the road. There is even a room for him down stairs all winter if he will have it, and cover enough,—poor Tongleg, truest-hearted, fashourest [most troublesome] of men! We shall do very well, once all settled together.— Or perhaps Lady Clare has not written at all? The [Turn back to the beginning; then margin after margin; what a scrawl!]13 thrifty poor woman, she calculated that I would write, that he would come of his own accord, and cost her no money? In that case, I would have him reckon that I had not written at all, and take his own time in coming. Thrift of that sort seems to me despicable beyond most thrifts; I thank Heaven, I have no poor brother, poor sister, so poor as that. Alick's honey-jar is on the table every morning, right good; the currents put into a chrystal [sic] case. You are to thank Mary also for her gifts; Heaven has given her too a generous heart. Good brothers, good sisters, best of Mothers, you were all kind to me, each of you kinder than the other: my heart's thanks are with you all! And so good b'ye, dear Alick; I will write again soon, to my Mother I think. I must terminate this scrawl with a P.S. on the other page. Your ever affectionate
T. Carlyle
Jamie's harvest, I hope, is prospering still. His kindness, in the trouble he was in, is deeply present with me. Tell him, ten stone of meal, I think will do; Jane seems to have given up porridge: that will serve me for a long time. As for butter, we are eating the Scotsbrig butter daily: it seems the price here is 13d per pound, and the stuff pretty fair: Jane thinks, as poor Isabella is not there herself to manage it, we will fash [bother] none—this year. Neither is there any violent haste about the meal, only moderate speed. O my whisky how easily could I have carried it, but I had not the heart!14— I will write again before long; tell my dear Mother so; and to her. God bless you all always!15—

Love Them!
Dec 10, 2008
By kaiselet
I bought these boots in black and I love them. They are quite comfortable. The only issue with them is that they were not made for someone who is 5'0" tall. Because it is a very tall boot, I had to have them altered. Still, a very hot boot!

Sexy boots and surprisingly comfortable
Jan 05, 2009
By dejavu567
These boots are surprisingly comfortable given the height. They are super hot sexy boots and my husband loves them. I knocked off one star because they are one inch too tall to make them practical, but if you don't plan to walk too much should be fine for going out. I have somewhat wide feet so I went up a half size and they fit great. I wouldn't buy if you aren't used to high heels though because they have a 5 inch heel. Or if you have really skinny calves bc they don't zip the entire way up so it's sort of a pull-on boot.

I bought a sz7 in black and light tan for a bargain price (~ $59 each!) These boots are still over $100 at Macy's. The boots fit true to size. The light tan color is not the same as in the picture. It is a bit darker and does not have the bright orange tint (as in the picture). I love it nonetheless! They make me feel tall and sexy :) I wear these boots with skinny jeans and the calves are a tad roomy, but it still looks good. I'm 5'3 and the boots comes up about an inch from the knee.

just wonderful!! :-)
Nov 08, 2009
By Picky-and-choosy romance novel lover
I just love these boots! I got these in the dark brown color and I couldn't be more thrilled! They are quite well made, VERY sexy, and given the height of the heel (5 inches!), they really are surprisingly comfortable to walk in. (As always, I put in some comfort-enhancing inserts, which greatly increase the long-term wear-ability of boots with such high heels). You can stroll around your favorite mall without these giving your feet a problem. I've even stepped onto a dance-floor wearing these, and I was just fine.
These are wonderful to wear with short denim skirts, or, if you kind find a brown leather mini that is very close in tone to these, then that would be lovely too. They work well with boot-cut jeans, too; just be aware that the shaft just about comes up to your knee, so your jeans will have to be "boot-cut" enough to accomodate these!
These really are wonderful; the boot itself is classy and elegant, which I just adore. They pair with short skirts so beautifully! I also love to wear these with denim dresses; you can have a denim dress with a short or a long skirt, and this boot looks great with both!
I often get compliments when I wear these, so I highly recommend them. I'm going to order a pair in black soon, because these have just worked out so well. They're great for work or for casual window shopping, and it's not inconceivable that you could dress these up by pairing them with a really pretty dress, and they'd look just super.
Best of all, if that wonderful man that you've been praying would ask you out FINALLY DOES, you can pair these with a pretty miniskirt, you'll look just lovely, and your dogs won't be barking during the date!
Enjoy these! I do!

declines in the birth rate in the total population of females 10 through
14 years of age, and, in particular, in minority females in this age
group, make it appear likely that the year 2000 objectives will be met.
More years of data are needed to confirm this trend and refute the slight
rise in rates in 1997, but a similar decline has been identified in
other states and in the nation as a whole.
rates among 15 through 19 year old females are considerably higher than
in 10 through 14 year olds. The rate among minority females 15 through
19 has declined during the most recent years of the twelve-year period
since 1985 and will likely meet the target. The rate in the total population
of 15 through 19 year old females has remained fairly stable since 1985,
however, it is also likely that the objective for the total population
will be reached by the year 2000.
there has been substantial fluctuation in the death rate from motor
vehicle injuries in 15 through 19 year olds over the period, the general
trend has been a declining one over the past ten years and the objective
was reached in 1994 and again in 1997. If this low rate can be maintained
throughout the rest of the decade, this objective will be achieved.
The suicide
death rate among white males 15 through 19 years of age has declined
dramatically in recent years and met the year 2000 target in 1996. Because
the annual number of deaths is small, the death rate tends to fluctuate,
thus the current level may not be maintained for the rest of the decade.
Since the death rate was below the target level again in 1997, it appears
possible to meet the year 2000 objective.

Barry Hinson
March 25, 2014
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University men's basketball team held a Postseason Celebration at SIU Arena on Tuesday evening that was attended by a crowd of approximately 300 fans.
The Salukis recently completed the 2013-14 season with a 14-19 overall record and finished tied for fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference at 9-9 -- their highest finish in six years. They also advanced to the semifinals of the MVC Tournament for the first time since 2008.
Head coach Barry Hinson, Chancellor Rita Cheng and Director of Athletics Mario Moccia all spoke, and plaques were presented to team members. Hinson spoke in glowing terms about the improvements made throughout campus and challenged the fans to spread a positive message about Saluki Basketball and the University.
"To change the culture, everywhere you go, and I'm not talking just about basketball, you talk positive about our University," he said. "When it comes to this program, and this University, anything that comes out of your mouth that is less than positive is 100 percent unacceptable. Go Dawgs!"

In Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, Ariel exchanges her voice for a pair of legs. I suppose I love the story because I see so much of myself in it. I've been in the exchange business for much of my life.
There have been times, for example, I have given up my voice in exchange for another's approval. At these times, I usually just shut down...that is, I go silent and say nothing and it's usually when someone is judging me. While today I'm a bit more discriminating than in times past in whose approval I cannot seem to live without, I still want approval so strongly, I'll give up my voice. I do this by withdrawing emotionally. I get angry inside at myself for shutting down instead of standing on my own feet, I feel helpless to be any different.
Is this you, too, or just me?
At one time in my life, I wanted so badly to have the mobility to climb the ladder of ministerial success, I exchanged my voice for the voice of the crowd. I said I believed things, for example, I really didn't believe. I did so because I knew if I did not, I would never have upward mobility. And, after all, what's more important than success in the ministry? Getting to the top? Having a staff at your command as large as some churches? I was told such things were not most important but every ministerial role model around me appeared to be giving up their voices in exchange for mobility, too.
If you wanted to step up you had to speak up and say what everyone wanted to hear.
I can remember, for example, sitting with a "Pulpit Search Committee," as they are still known in evangelical churches today. Such committees were appointed by a church whenever their minister had moved on and a new one was needed. A committee member would ask, "What do you believe about the Bible?" They were, of course, very often looking to see and listening to hear for the "right" voice...the right words to come from your mouth...as if what I or they could ever say about the Bible was as important as what the Bible could ever say to me...or, for that matter, to them.
This sort of madness would sometimes go on for hours. "Tell us," Reverend McSwain, "what do you believe about the Bible? Is it the inerrant, infallible sole source of truth? And, what of the Trinity, sir, tell us what you believe about God? The virgin birth? Are you a pre-millennial, dispensationalist? Or a post-millennial dispensationalist? Is Jesus the one-and-only Savior of the world?"
For mobility upward, I exchanged my voice more often than I care to admit. You had to in order to pastor the biggest church...to be successful...to be praised and liked.
I wish I were completely free of this madness today. But I'm not there yet. Admittedly, the audience whose approval I seek has changed, but the inner need that drives me to give up my voice in exchange for another's approval remains.
Do you ever shut down when you should speak up? Do you ever say things just to keep the peace? Or, worse, say nothing to keep the peace? To please another? To impress the group in whose membership you'll sell your personhood to buy their praise?
Here's what I'm going to do today. If it serves to help you, too, well that's good. I will be mindful...that is, aware...whenever the little me in me remains quiet when it should speak. Or, when it speaks, but only so as to impress, please, or draw attention to itself. I will be aware of how belittled I feel whenever someone whose opinion I value too highly criticizes me. But, I will also be aware of how inflated I feel whenever someone's praise I too readily crave comes my way.
I will not punish myself whenever I observe the ego--the little me that too quickly exchanges my personhood for the passing praise of another or to avoid the pain that comes with the criticisms of another. I will be glad instead. I know what I'm learning...that my inner observation of these endless exchanges is enough to diminish the power of an insatiable ego.
This inner power of observation...I wonder...could it be the inner voice of the spirit? Could this be that presence Jesus promised would be with his followers who feared his leaving? (John 14). What I'm discovering is that this inner voice provides me a new kind of mobility...MORE - ABILITY to "overcome the world," as Jesus said.
This is the secret to happiness.

The role of Greece in World War II has been much studied and discussed, mostly in terms of the heroic victory against the Fascist Italians in Albania (see "The First Victory" by George Blytas), as well as the resistance to the April 1941 invasion by the Nazis, and the heroic fight by Greek civilians and military, alongside the British forces, in the Battle of Crete (May 20, 1941-May 31, 1941). Quite a bit also has been written about the resistance, both on the mainland and in Crete, for the duration of the war, as well as on the many Nazi atrocities against Greek civilians during the period of Nazi occupation.
What has not been much discussed is the actual significance to the final outcome of World War II of the Greek war resistance from 1941 through 1945, other than the true stories of the valor and heroism shown by the Greek population during this period.
The Greek resistance was a major contributor to the success of the Allied D-Day invasion, June 6, 1944, at Normandy on the west coast of France. It may, in fact have been one of the decisive factors that enabled D-Day to succeed. If the Allied invasion at Normandy had been repulsed by the Nazis, the final outcome of World War II would have been different, and we would be living in an entirely different world today.
In this way, it is apparent that the Greek people played a much larger role in the success of the Allies in World War II, in three ways: 1. By achieving the first victory against the fascists in Albania, resulting in the necessity of a German invasion of Greece, 2. By the heroic resistance in Crete and the decimation of Hitler's Parachute divisions, which were never used again, and which delayed the invasion by Hitler of the Soviet Union, resulting in Hitler's defeat by the Soviets in the east, and 3. By engaging in a systematic and massive resistance on the mainland and on Crete, (albeit unknowingly) as part of an Allied deception plans, resulting in the Germans withholding of 9 out of 10 divisions away from Normandy and instead keep them near the Mediterranean coast of France. It also resulted as well in holding many more German troops in the Balkans instead of moving them westward to defend from the Allied invasion, or eastward to help stop the Soviet Red Army. The Nazis held these troops back to defend against an anticipated invasion of Greece through Crete and the Peloponnese, and in south France. This was all part of a massive Allied plan of deception, called ZEPPELIN.
Most members, perhaps all, of the Greek resistance did not realize that they were playing a role in this massive plan of deception. Only a few key Allied leaders were privy to these plans, and for good reason: the more people who knew about it, the more likely it was to get out to the wrong people.
Allied deception plans were well organized and planned under the official designation "A" Force. They were detailed, thorough, and massive. Staged for the most part in Syria and North Africa, they included state of the art sound effects (tanks driving, and practicing, using huge speakers), dummy airplanes and tanks, dummy landing craft (all set up for the benefit of German aerial reconnaissance photos), false shipping movements and real shipping movements, the occasional planting of corpses with "secret' documents in their possession, continuous false radio broadcasts, and a complete false order of battle, including false armies, air wings, brigades, divisions, and officers.
They also included a huge network of agents and double agents to leak the word to the Nazis. ZEPPELIN, just one of these plans which were run overall by the British mastermind Dudley Clark, focused on the Mediterranean, and within ZEPPELIN there were two other deception plans: TURPITUDE, which was designed to persuade the Nazis that the Allies were going to invade the Balkans, and VENDETTA, which was designed to threaten the Mediterranean coast of France.
One part of the TURPITUDE plan was an notional ground invasion of Greece by the Allies through Turkey and Thrace, but this never deceived the Germans because they knew beforehand that their secret Turkish allies, who were supposedly neutral, would not join the Allied cause in time to allow this imaginary invasion through their territory. The Nazis knew this information because the valet for the British Ambassador to Turkey was a German spy with the nom de guerre of "Cicero".
The remainder of the plans were very successful, resulting in the Nazis holding many more forces in and near the Balkans and Southern France than they needed to, which in turn allowed the Soviets to advance westward, and the D-Day invasion at Normandy to be successful.
On the ground in Greece, the TURPITUDE plan lead the Greek resistance forces, and their British SOE companions, to step up their attacks on the occupying Nazis in the belief that an allied invasion to free them was on its way. It is doubtful that the SOE personnel, or any Greek officers, were aware of the fact that TURPITUDE was a deception plan, and that in fact no Balkan invasion by the Allies was going to take place. That the Greeks, especially in Crete, really believed that an Allied invasion was coming is beyond doubt when one reads the various histories of the resistance.
It is also beyond doubt that many Nazi reprisals against Greek civilians for resistance attacks would not have occurred had the Nazis withdrawn more forces from Crete and Greece; a terrible price for the Greeks to pay, but in this author's opinion the heroic Greeks would have willingly paid this price even if they had known that TURPITUDE was a deception plan. The Greek nature is to resist tyranny by all means, and no matter what the odds. If the plans had not been used or had failed, it is likely that Greece in the long run would have remained under the Nazi yoke, because D-Day would likely have failed, and the Soviets would have had their westward advance stymied by a reinforced Nazi eastern front.
The cloak and dagger aspect of the deception plans can not be overstated. Famous personalities such as Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Peter Fleming and his brother Ian Fleming (later the author of the James Bond books), among many others, were all active in the deception plans. Agents, sub-agents and double and triple agents were indispensable in conveying the false information to the Germans and their agents. Many of these were Greeks, including Greek women, operating out of North Africa and the Greek islands. In nearly all cases, these agents were not aware that the information that they were transferring to the enemy was false.
What is written here is barely scratching the surface of the Allied deception plans and its various operations. Even so, it becomes apparent that the heroic Greek efforts at resistance against the Nazi war machine played a major, probably decisive role in winning World War II, and that this Greek resistance effort was waged against German forces far in excess of what was necessary for the Germans to actually have positioned in the Balkans at the time. Stepping up resistance attacks against the Nazis was part and parcel of making the Germans believe that a Balkan invasion was imminent.
For the reader who desires a more detailed knowledge of these events, it is suggested that they obtain a copy of "The Deceivers: Allied Military Deception in the Second World War", by Thaddeus Holt, 2007, Skyhorse Publishing, 1148 pp, from which much of the information contained in this article is taken.

January 5, 1988, Maxx Skelly was birthed into one of the most notable cities on the planet, Brooklyn N.Y. Beating the odds, Skelly was the product of a birth due to a car accident, but miraculously survived. Since childhood, Maxx grew up in the infamous 90s era, spending most of his time with television and video games. And although this was often a detriment in his parents' eyes, due to the nature of the rising violence in the media, it often expanded his imagination to new heights. He was first introduced into the Hip-Hop culture through his older brothers and would soon branch out to genres such as: R&B, Neo-Soul, Rock, House, Techno, and many other outlets of music.
Due to the separation of his parents in 2000, Skelly and his family moved into the Township of Union N.J. Here, he was able to start afresh and make numerous amounts of friends and memories. Throughout his adolescence, Skelly gradually became conscious of the stereotypes, ignorance, and social ills in the world, which often fueled the fire to vocalize his opinions. Music became an everyday need in his world, but just when things were looking up for Skelly, in 2003, his mother suddenly passed away from a heart attack. Completely devastating at the age 15, Maxx felt as if he lost his entire foundation of self and began perceive his world with a different scope.
His musical journey from there on out began as a coping mechanism to the stressful challenges in school, and dealing family and friends. He secretly started writing poetry day by day, building a passion for writing out his feelings. Poetic words soon turned into musical verses, and Skelly began to craft his newfound talent. His life experience had been filled with trials and triumph, birth and death, hardships and happiness, struggle and success. Skelly had obtained the best of both worlds growing up in the East Flatbush/Brownsville ghetto and the middle class suburban life of Union, which had equipped him with various lessons as time progressed.
|In 2006, Maxx moved back to Brooklyn, New York with his father and began to pour his energy into a music career. Although his father was unsupportive, Skelly continued to pursue his passion and began to construct a network, of talented musicians, producers, and engineers. Formally known as Maxx@Million, he began to develop the nick name around his belief that his heart, soul and music are rich. Skelly also believed he should not be remembered by materialistic things, but as a real person who made history.

very great place to stay !!! priced totally fine and perfectly clean! gladly again!
sehr tolle unterkunft!!! preislich total in ordnung und absolut sauber! gerne wieder!
Die Wohnung befindet sich im Erdgeschoss. Es gibt es eine Kueche und ein Wohnzimmer annex Schlafzimmer. Kein separates Schlafzimmer. Die Besitzer sind freundlich. Der Zutritt zu den Ferienwohnung fuehrt ueber ein leichten Hang. Fuer Personen mit Gehbehinderung also weniger geeignet. Die Wohnung liegt am Ausenrand des Dorfes. Ruhige Lage.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Micah | Michelle, comprised of husband and wife team, Micah and Michelle Woody, are very excited to announce the release of their first album, "Sharpened In Time". Working with producer Mitch Dane, they recorded the tracks at Mitch's studio, Sputnik Sound, in Nashville.
Michelle, born and raised in Alabama, and Micah, an Oregon born/California native, met in 2002 on a summer-long trip to Latin America where they were doing volunteer work. It was there that they recognized the same passion for music in each other and began a friendship that has now become a marriage of 6 years. Since the start, they've been leading worship together, writing, and dreaming of one day recording their music together to share with the world.
The title track of "Sharpened In Time" is a song celebrating both the ease and joy of marriage, as well as the refining/sharpening process that occurs. Taken from the concept of the Proverb, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another", the couple felt that this title also seemed to fit the album as whole, describing songs that speak of God using circumstances, people, and His Holy Spirit to "sharpen" us and make us more like Him. You can see this concept displayed in the album's cover art as well.
Micah | Michelle hope that you will not only enjoy what you hear, but that you will also be inspired to seek to know God more fully and discover what knowing Him means for your life.

The momentum for improving the salaries of North Carolina's public school teachers, which had been building slowly but steadily in recent months, is beginning to wane. This is due, in large part, to our state legislators' and governor's misplaced priorities. The citizens of North Carolina should be very concerned, not only because it shows bad faith toward our teachers but because it demonstrates a continued disregard for improving our state's less than stellar K-12 school system. Our legislators and governor simply do not understand, or do not want to understand, that a world class public school system is critical to the future success of North Carolina. Right now, the message that our political leaders are sending us is that they are perfectly happy with mediocrity. Additionally, they are either confused or deceived about the relationship between business/industry and education. Neither can exist without the other, and it is absolutely ludicrous to try and recruit high paying businesses to North Carolina while our educational system shows no signs of significant progress and no intention of improving.
It is disheartening at best to think that North Carolina will spend $10 million on vouchers so that a few thousand students might attend private schools, rather than invest this money to retain and recruit high quality teachers. Something is drastically wrong with this logic, and if the people of this state don't send a clear message on this issue in November then we may as well accept our continued fate as a second-rate state.
The governor and his Republican friends are proud of their cuts in personal and corporate income taxes - a very questionable move during a time when the economy is clearly improving. Unfortunately, they have failed to read the tea leaves. Voters, in general, are not averse to spending more money if the spending is worthwhile. This was best exemplified by the citizens of Wake County who supported an $810 million bond referendum to build schools and improve education in general. You see, it's not the hard working citizens of North Carolina who fail to put the state's priorities in order - it's their politicians.
We need good leadership in North Carolina - the kind that looks to the future and demonstrates a viable vision for the future of our state. We need leaders who are less concerned about their political futures and more concerned about the people. We need leaders who understand that teachers are critical to the success of our students.

Drone air strikes to dozens of suspected al Qaeda fighters have been killed during the latest string of strikes against the terror organization's Yemen affiliate over the weekend, Yemeni official said.
On April 19, an American drone strike had taken 10 members of al Qaeda but there were three civilians killed in that incident. The civilian truck just showed up next to the car that was targeted, the official said.
The following day the committee announced three additional aerial strikes that destroyed an al- Qaeda training facility. Mohammed Albasha, a spokesperson for the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, D.C., confirmed from his twitter account that there were two-dozen of militants killed without civilian casualties. There were 55 killed, most of them foreign fighters, claimed including three high value targets. The high-value targets (HVTs) known to terrorism lingo, have not been identified.
Both the CIA and President Obama made no comment with respect to anti-terrorist operations. Even the spokesperson for the Pentagon, which also conducts drone operations in Yemen, declined to address the strikes directly.
Col. Steve Warren told reporters: "I can't speak to specific operations, but as you know we've got a very strong and collaborative relationship with the Yemeni Government. We work closely together with them on various initiatives in the counterterrorism realm, but I don't have any specifics to comment on."
The strikes happened after al-Qaeda's Yemen affiliate, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), released a highly-produced propaganda video showing its leader, Nasir al-Wahishi, speaking to dozens of fighters that includes high-level AQAP targets.
Under the leadership Ayman al-Zawahiri, in Southwest Asia, is the most dangerous of the al- Qaeda affiliates previously described AQAP.
Ibrahim al-Asiri as one of the members of AQAP; a bomb-maker, who makes explosive devices hidden in printer cartridges for the failed cargo bomb plot of 2010.
Awaiting statement from the Yemeni government to determine, and identities of those killed in the strikes.
"AQAP will not vanish overnight. Threats of al-Qaeda will not be deliminated with kinetic action. A holistic approach is needed." Albasha said.

McLean Wins Jamaican Nationals; Cabral Third at USAs
USA Results l Jamaica Results (.pdf) l Britian Results
PRINCETON, N.J. (6/29/14) - With four former and current Princeton men's track & field athletes competing at the USA Track & Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif., one was in Kingston, Jamaica, winning a national title.
Damon McLean '13 jumped a school record 16.15 to win the triple jump at the Jamaican nationals. The next best jumper reached 16.04. A three-time All-America in the triple, McLean's previous PR was 16.11 jumped at the Quad Meet this past season. He was 12th at the NCAA Championships just two weeks ago.
At the USA Track & Field Championships, Donn Cabral '12 was third in the steeplechase finals and less than a second off of his personal best. Cabral ran 8:20.04 in the final to make the coveted top three in the national met, and 0.17 seconds off his PR of 8:19.81 run in 2012.
It was noted by the announcers that Cabral's 2013 season was hindered by his battle with Lyme Disease, as he placed sixth at this meet last year. In 2012 he was the runner-up and made the Olympic team going on to finish eighth in the 2012 London Olympics.
The group started to stretch out single file as the race began and then a top group of five broke out after five laps, with Cabral in that top group. That pack became four one lap later with Cabral in fourth place. On the bell lap, Cabral pushed past Nike teammate Cory Leslie on the back stretch and remained there, pushing Dan Huling for second place down the final stretch but couldn't reach it, as Evan Jager was first at 8:18.83, Huling second at 8:19.73 and Cabral third at 8:20.04.
Cabral reached the finals by running third in the prelims at 8:34.77. Also competing in the prelims was Eddie Owens '15 who ran 9:10.56 to finish nine in heat 1 and 17th overall.
(note: Worlds are held every two years, Olympics every four, therefore there is no meet this year).
Joe Stilin '12 was 11th in the final of the men's 5000. He ran 13:48.05. Stilin was in 13th after 2200 meters and started to move his way up taking eighth one lap later. After 3000 meters he was fifth and then was third at 3400 meters with a 9:25.93 pace. With 800 meters to go, Stilin started to drop back falling from fourth to 10th and ultimately placed 11th.
Chris Bendtsen '14 took 14th in the men's 10k, just a couple weeks after he finished ninth at the NCAA Championship. He finished with a 30:05.18 and ran the race at either 14 or 15 with his fastest two laps, on 3 & 4 at 1:10.18 and 1:10.36.
Another big effort came from across the pond. William Paulson '17 took second in the men's 1500 final at the British Athletics Championships. He ran 3:48.16 and took the last quarter mile in 54 seconds. Paulson reached the final with a 3:45.40 in the prelims.

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Though our International Patient Services, we help meet the unique needs of families traveling from outside of the United States.
Why should you choose Children's for inpatient rehabilitation?
With 28 beds, our Inpatient Rehabilitation Program is one of the largest pediatric inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the country. It is located inside our Scottish Rite hospital. The pediatric-trained staff treat the whole patient, not just the injury or illness. A team of physicians, nurses, therapists and others help patients build skills and regain independence. They also involve the family with both education and support.
Download a PDF with questions we recommend you ask while researching rehabilitation treatment programs.
Yes. While in inpatient rehabilitation, all of a patient's medical needs can be addressed by the hospital. If a patient needs care that is not provided by inpatient rehabilitation, he has access to Scottish Rite's emergency services.
Caseload size is represented by a ratio. The first number is the number of patients and the second is the number of staff members. The closer the two numbers are to each other, the more personal attention each patient is receiving.
Therapy staff – 6:1
Nursing staff – 4:1
Nursing staff for ventilator patients – 3:1
While in inpatient rehabilitation, patients are treated seven days a week with a minimum of three hours of therapy a day. Patients can receive up to five hours of therapy a day (9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.).
Yes. We offer community support groups run by our chaplain and child life specialists to help ease the stress that may come with a stay in inpatient rehabilitation. They also help families adjust to what life will be like when they return home.
Just like the doctors and nurses, the family is an important part of the rehabilitation team. Parents and caregivers should interact with the doctors and take a leading role in the care of their child. Therapy is more effective when the whole family is involved. We teach our patients' families about the injury or illness, the treatments we are using and why and how to care for their child when they leave inpatient rehabilitation.
Yes. While a patient is in inpatient rehabilitation, family members are allowed to spend the night in room with him. This keeps the child feeling calm and safe, which helps them have better results in therapy.

Snails, hybrids and reproductive isolation
Hybrids form when 2 related species mate in a contact zone where their distribution ranges overlap. The closer the 2 species are genetically, the more likely it is that they will produce hybrid individuals. There is a vast number of publications out there on almost every aspect of hybrids and hybridization. A meager contribution to the literature from yours truly and Francisco Welter-Schultes just got published in Schriften zur Malakozoologie1.
We did this study to determine if 2 land snail species, Albinaria munda and A. lerosiensis, were hybridizing in a contact zone in the Bodrum Peninsula in western Turkey. The 2 species can be distinguished from each other by several characteristics of their shells. So we reasoned that if there were hybrids their shells would be intermediate in at least some of those characteristics and, therefore, detectable using various conchological analyses.
Albinaria munda (left) and Albinaria lerosiensis.
There is a good review by Jiggins & Mallet (2000) explaining what sorts of genotype and phenotype distributions one could expect in potential hybrid zones. Basically, if there are no hybrids, a trait being examined will form a bimodal distribution, one for each species, if the distributions are sufficiently separated from each other. If there are mostly hybrids, then the distribution for that trait will be unimodal; but if there is a mixture of 2 parental and 1 hybrid populations, then the distribution will be flat-topped.
The individual frequency distributions for all the conchological traits we examined were normal giving rise to bimodal distributions when combined. These results indicated that hybrids were either absent or rare. The results of one such analysis is in the figure below.
This is a plot of the number of ribs in the ultimate whorl (Ru) versus the ratio of the height of the 1st 2 whorls above the aperture to the shell diameter for 59 shells of A. lerosiensis (triangles) and 96 shells of Albinaria munda (circles). The arrow points at the only possible hybrid.
Our conclusion is that the 2 species are reproductively isolated and, therefore, may have diverged from each other during the Miocene, at least about 5 million years ago.
The details are in the paper. Incidentally, the pdf version that I have uploaded is a twice-scanned copy and expectedly, not a good one. If and when I get a better one from the journal I will substitute it.

College Hockey:Bowdoin Staves Off Williams Rally To Take NESCAC Title
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. — Bowdoin held off a late surge by Williams to capture the NESCAC championship by a score of 2-1 Saturday. The Polar Bears receive an automatic bid to the inaugural NCAA Division III Tournament and will await the pairings Sunday night.
Bowdoin opened the scoring 6:56 into the contest as Gillian McDonald, fresh off her natural hat trick last night, scored, driving to the net with a shot to the five-hole.
Beth Muir scored a four-on-four goal at 13:42 as she picked up a puck from behind the goal and stuffed it in the back of the net.
Williams was evening out the shots throughout the game, putting on heavy pressure in the final minutes. Molly Wasserman finally broke through for the Ephs as she scored a power-play goal with 2:25 remaining to cut the lead to 2-1.
The Ephs put on more pressure with their goaltender pulled, but could not score the equalizer. They outshot Bowdoin 22-19.
Emily McKissock made 21 saves in goal for Bowdoin, while Anna MacIntosh made 17 for Williams.

Ivy Champions Julie Cerullo, Libby Eyre Earn All-League Honors
Senior Julie Cerullo and junior Libby Eyre were the 1-2 punch at the top of the lineup that Princeton needed en route to winning the 2013 Ivy League championship. Their efforts were rewarded Friday as both were named to the All-Ivy League team.
Cerullo ends her brilliant Princeton career as a four-time All-Ivy League selection. She went 12-4 on the season while playing the best players in the nation one match after another, and two of her victories came against fellow All-Ivy League honorees Danielle Letourneau (Cornell) and Nabilia Ariffin (Penn). She reached the national quarterfinals, where she fell in a tough match to Penn's Yan Xin, the Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
Eyre was named to the All-Ivy League team for the second straight year. Like Cerullo, Eyre went 12-4 on the season and reached the national quarterfinal. Eyre had a regular season win over Xin during Princeton's run to the Ivy League title, and she nearly stunned Yale's Millie Tomlinson, the 2011 national champion, during a 3-2 thriller during the national championships.
