Tom, a foundling, is discovered one evening by the benevolent Squire Allworthy and his sister Bridget and brought up as a son in their household; when his sexual escapades and general misbehavior lead them to banish him, he sets out in search of both his fortune and his true identity. Amorous, high-spirited, and filled with what Fielding called "the glorious lust of doing good," but with a tendency toward dissolution, Tom Jones is one of the first characters in English fiction whose human virtues and vices are realistically depicted. This edition is set from the text of the Wesleyan Edition of the Works of Henry Fielding.

First of all, it must be said that for anyone interested in English literature this is a must read. After having read this, it becomes apparent that so much of the literature that followed this book - in the 18th, 19th, and even the 20th centuries - is modelled on this book. Could it be that the same writer influenced Mark Twain and Jane Austen? Secondly, this book must be read for its unexptected humour and freshness - even though it was written almost three hundred years ago, its expositions on sex and violence are seen daily on Jerry Springer. True, the sentences are lengthy - and sometimes the scholarsip burdensome - but, for the most part this is a story of scandal and surprise. At the same time, though, I admit that I wished the story was a couple of hundred pages shorter: there were times, especially towards the end, when I simply stopped trying to make sense of all the loose ends and focused on the main plot. Fielding, as demonstrated by this book, is a master writer, but the folks over at Jerry Spinger could have taught him a thing or two about editing.
This is a very good book with lots of action and was one of the first and most influential books written in the English language. This is not a boring classic! It is a must-read in my opinion! There is action, there is romance, all in one great Bildungsroman! Plus it has short chapters!
I have read many novels written in the eighteenth century, and Fielding was the master of the genre at that time. Tom Jones was an immensely enjoyable book. At first, I was slightly intimidated by its 1,000 page length, but Fielding's wit and gift of storytelling was wonderful. This book proves that not all classic literature is boring. Many, many times I found myself laughing, yes laughing OUT LOUD, because the characters are so funny, yet believable. True, most of them are flat characters, but they exhibit some of the most common human flaws. Fielding was a master of humor, irony, and characterization, and Tom Jones will always be one of my favorite novels.
its very comic story of a foundling tom jones who faces a lot of difficulties but at last reconciles to his uncle Mr Allworthy and wins his beloved Sophia Western.its ending is great. the novel is an amusing one on the whole.
If you've always thought of the 1700s as a time when no one had any fun and all people wrote about is liberty, religion and other such pious (and often boring) material, get your hands on this novel and you'll change you mind. This novel, published in 1749, contains none of the dry, unwieldy language you might expect and what's more, it offers much more than many 'modern' novels, including hearty doses of wit, humor, pathos, satire, and insight into human nature. Another unexepected pleasure of this book is that although it is very long (the edition I'm reading is nearly 900 pages), it is a very fast read and at no point is it boring. You will really be surprised by this book!
This book is so well written it was a shame I could not finish its almost 900 pages. I simply found the tale too silly, too uninteresting to continue. It seemed just to be the rather mindless adventures of the hero, Tom Jones, as he fights over women, fights with soldiers and his friends ... with everyone. I need something a bit more serious and profound. I even watched the overly long film as I read, and even found the film to be inane. If you like light-hearted nonsense with lots of characters coming and going, then you might enjoy this. It was just not my style, although the actual writing is great!!!
Last year our theratre department chose this to be our One Act Play and everybody loved it. It was such a fun play to do. When we went to competition there were so many laughs, and after we preformed all the other schools came up to us and told us how much they loved it.

You're right the 2 messages weren't in the same session of ASSP.
Setting "postmaster", which is the sender used by gmail to send the
vacation message, has fixed the issue.
As you recommanded, I disabled the SRS validation check.

Night Moves: Hot Flash! and Sick Sauce
Ray and Peter Lek
A beneath-ground show--or "underground" show--is a common experience at Fallout Lounge.
An example: This weekend's final monthly gathering of DJ Genova, Schwa & Killtron's Hot Flash! party--as captured by our very own Lek Brothers--was so very beneath ground.
Dress code was classified as "crunk."
Also, if you're feeling saucy, the Leks' caught Sick Sauce, too: Matias Pecile, Floorplay & Matt Thompson spinning a variety of techno, tech house and house. Also House, starring Hugh Laurie.

I purchased this cool little watch for my soon to be five year old grandson. It was a Timex and that brand has always had a good reputation for quality and durability - some of us old timers remember the Timex slogan "takes a ticking, keeps on ticking." I hope that is the case with this children's watch for a five year old boy!!!!Read More
I am so glad that I purchased this watch for our four-year-old grandson. He was constantly playing with and wanting to wear the watches worn by the adults in his life. He loves this watch. It makes him feel like a "big kid." The colors are vibrant and the watch goes with just about everything because of all the colors. It's a fun kids watch and so far it's been really durable! He loves it. I would totally recommend this watch and will buy another one if something were to happen with this one. The watch was also shipped in a timely fashion and was packaged well. It was a great transaction all the way around.Read More

This was a birthday gift for my youngest grandson. He loves it.Read More
I purchased kids Swatch watches for my children over the summer and was quite disappointed that the quality was not what it used to be. All the bands were worn out within two weeks of purchase . I decided to try these Timex watches as they were 1/3 the price of the Swatches, and so far They are unbeatable! The band is elastic which is great for their small wrists. The watches are waterproof and have a great glow in the dark feature . Overall , I am extremely satisfied and I'm usually very difficult to please. Don't hesitate to buy these, the kids will love them too!Read More
I got this for our 5-year-old grandson, and he absolutely loves it. He wears it everyday, feels very grown-up, and is actually learning to tell time from it. So far, more like "It's twelve-six", but that's a start!! I deliberately did not get him a digital watch, because I want him to be able to use a clock! He is very active, plays in the dirt and water, and so far it has held up great. He wears it pushed up his arm to keep it dry. I didn't even dream he would love it so much. He loves the nightlight, too, that he can see while in bed.Read More

Vinh Nghiem Pagoda
Tradition meets modernity at this Vietnamese temple dedicated to Buddha - it's the largest in HCMC.
One of the city's most popular sights, the Chùa Vĩnh Nghiêm offers a unique insight into the culture of Vietnam. This major temple is open to the public for visitation and prayer. Spread out over 6000 square meters (64583 square feet) the temple features a beautiful sanctuary decorated with elaborate carvings, pillars and statues of Siddhartha Gautama, Samantabhadra and Manjusri. The 40-meter (130-foot) high tower is the highest structure of the temple complex, and quite an impressive sight. Come during worship hours to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of a traditional prayer session with the aroma of incense and the echoes of chants reverberating through the walls.

Quan Ut Ut
This casual eatery specializes in all things Southern barbecue - their cashew-smoked pork ribs and roasted pork belly are legendary.
Quán Ụt Ụt literally translates as "Oink Oink" and unsurprisingly, the raison d'etre of this busy restaurant is meat - specifically pork - in all its forms. Each moreish plate they serve is prepared with meat, chicken or seafood that has been slow cooked for hours to infuse it with aroma and flavor. Every morsel will transport you to the American Deep South, and leave little doubt as to the restaurant's popularity with locals and expats alike. Savor specialties like sweet sugarcane-smoked chicken, sticky pork tail, cheesy grilled oysters, and charcoal grilled pork rib tips; they pair perfectly with a Platinum Premium Pale Ale or a carafe of house wine. Save room for dessert; their bacon ice cream is to die for.

Dine alfresco under the stars on their gorgeous garden terrace framed by Frangipani trees and tranquil water features as you sip on fine wines and craft cocktails. Savor dishes like pigeon supreme, braised lamb, foie gras on brioche with star fruit, and scallops with lentils. Head to Shri for quiet conversations and romantic dinners.

Central Mosque
Discover a haven of serenity in the heart of the ever-busy Dong Khoi as you absorb the peaceful atmosphere and simply take a breath.
Ho Chi Minh City is an exciting place to explore with its lively street culture and rich history. However, all of it can get overwhelming at times. For a break from the chaos and noise, head to the Central Mosque to discover a different side of Saigon. This beautiful building was constructed in 1935 by South Indian Muslims so they could have a place to worship in the city. It is now one of 12 mosques serving HCMC and a place of pilgrimage for Indonesian and Pakistani believers as well. The mosque features a shaded verandah, decorative minarets and the customary pool for ablutions. Dress modestly and remove your shoes before you enter the building. If you're looking for halal food, the neighborhood around the mosque offers a variety of options.

Honiara public transport dilemma
I WONDER if the Honiara City Council still exists and functioning!
I WONDER if the Honiara City Council still exists and functioning!
THIS press release commentary is made to clarify to the readers of this paper and especially the clergies and people in the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Temotu on the matter queried by Elliot Dawea as "Archbishop Takeli's unfulfilled promises" presented in the Island Sun paper no.2346 on Wednesday 21st July 2016.
It is a widely accepted fact that ANY addiction is not a healthy state of being.
WELCOME to our final discussion on this topic which we have looked at over the past few weeks.
Media writers have side tracked the focus of my intention towards National Healing, even so I still maintain my belief that these TRUTHS which my questions seek to know are permanent elements for true and lasting reconciliations.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

CLE ELUM Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest officials are prohibiting ATVs from using Cle Elum Ranger District trails until June 15.
District off-road manager Mikki Douglass said the closure is necessary to protect natural resources during spring run-off and precipitation.
Trails will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis., Douglass said. Once a trail has dried out and maintenance is completed, it could be opened prior to June 15.
Trails opened to ATV use prior to June 15 will have "Trail Open" signs at trailheads, Douglass said.
National Forest Lands are extremely fragile during the spring melt and run off, forest officials said. Trails, as well as roads and the surrounding lands are vulnerable to damage from motorized vehicles.
Forest officials said closing the trails mitigates the need for some repairs.

The book provides a detailed picture of Shanghai life between the wars, and the unique nature of the International Settlement and other Treaty Ports. Tinkler joined the Shanghai Municipal Police; its composition and workings are described in some detail in the book, as are the workings of the Shanghai Municipal Council. I could really picture the place and the people.
The book discusses the Treaty Ports, Shanghailanders, Tinkler and other expatriate workers ('labourers, farm workers, railwaymen, warehousemen, quarrymen' to quote the author) in the context of the British Empire, and thus goes beyond just a biography of Tinkler.
The author is an academic and the structure and style of the book is, in my opinion, an amalgam of a purely academic history treatise and a a popular story. The writing style is somewhat more academic than I would have preferred, but is still readable. The author quotes profusely and provides detailed statistics, both of which sometimes get in the way of the story, even if they might be interesting to students of history. I'm not sure I needed to know that in 1925 (was it?) there were 7,923 acres in the External Roads areas outside the Settlement, for example.
The author must have done a tremendous amount of research, and the book is obviously a labour of love. The detail makes it a good book for students of Empire, Shanghai and the inter war years, but it is also a good read for anyone interested in modern history. The writing style is not quite as fluid as I would have liked, but it's still a very good read.
Dr Bickers' painstaking and patient research is also an excellent example of how to do this kind of history. It is a detective story - appropriately enough - about a detective, and he pieces together the evidence carefully. Where there are gaps - and there are many - in the documentation, his speculations seem spot on.
There are many more histories of this kind to be written, of ordinary people in extraordinary times and places. Look in your loft !
As a PS to the final chapter of the book, I went to the International Cemetery in Shanghai on 2 May to find Tinkler's memorial stone. It is still there, although hard to find buried in undergrowth.
Back then, as now, not all foreigners were upper-class entrepreneurs and philanthropists. It is fascinating to read about the lives of 'ordinary' people.
What Bickers does really well is paint a picture of Tinkler's evolution (or regression) as a man of the Empire. It is painstakingly researched, with Tinkler's own story deveeloping against the backdrop of a magnificent city in decline.
Insights into the peculiarities of extraterritoriality; how the Treaty of Nanjing (and subsequent treaties) eventually returned to haunt the Shanghai Municpal Council; the racial tensions between local Chinese, White Russians, Brits, Japanese and Americans, and the eventual disintegration of Shanghai are brilliantly explained and analyzed, running alongisde the story of a man who, in the end, is difficult to like. However, as Brits, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try!
This is more than an autobiography of one man molded by his experiences in service of the British Empire, some aspects of which are sad such as his lost love who clearly never really forgot him and the harsher side of colonial living such as Tinkler's overtly racist attitude to the Chinese and his disdain for the Sikh and Chinese Police Officers.
The references provided with this book are quite exemplary to the point of creating a book within a book, many references indicting other possible routes of research and interest, giving the impression (to me at least) that this work could easily have been an edited down version of a Masters or Doctoral thesis.
Given the author's background and the nature of the funding for this research, the academic style of writing is entirely forgivable, given as it does to maintaining the flow of reading but it clearly leans heavily away from being a quick read.
Rightly or wrongly however, I felt that at times that some information could have been added as much because there was a reference available to support it, as to the support it gave the issue being discussed, which at times prompted the question `where are we going with this'?
That said, this is a remarkable piece of work given the depth and breadth of detail and supporting information it contains which quite rightly contributed to this book being awarded the first Institute of Historical Research prize in 2000.Read more ›

Half-Life 2: Episode Two
We used a custom-recorded timedemo for this game, as well. We tested Episode Two with the in-game image quality options cranked, with 4X AA and 16 anisotropic filtering. HDR lighting and motion blur were both enabled.
The 4870 X2 isn't quite as fast as a two-card 4870 CrossFire config here, but it's close, running only a handful of frames per second behind at 2560x1600. Compared to the X2's intended target, the GeForce GTX 280, it's not even close. This game scales nicely with multi-GPU setups, and the X2 takes a decisive lead over the GTX 280.
Of course, the GTX 280 also churns out over 65 frames per second at the highest settings tested, so we're not talking about huge differences in competency when running this game.
