The Late Child
by Larry McMurtry
30 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
"We choose our lovers by their flaws"...
Feb. 23 2004
This review is from:
The Late Child (Hardcover)
The best way to read this sequel is immediately after reading its prequel;"The Desert Rose".The surprising thing is that McMurtry wrote "The Desert Rose" in 1983 and "The Late Child " didn't come out till 1995. That's a long wait!
Again, this story continued along the same path.Even more so, the thought processes of the characters reminded me of the characters in many of Erskine Caldwell's novels;the most well known being "Tobacco Road" and "God's Little Acre".
McMurtry's immagination never seems to slow down and you are presented with one wild thing after another,with each turn of a page. The chapters are very short,many only a couple of pages;but he puts more in one of those short chapters than most writers put in 30 or 40 page chapters.
This book has a plethora of great lines;for example:
"Your standards are the standards of a doormat."
"Dick don't have enough imagination to get lonely."
"Rog don't have a speed-neutral ain't a speed."
"That's how I feel,I just don't know how to live."
"Stuck in the driver's seat and the car was moving,
but she had no map and no idea of where she was supposed
to go."
"The fact is,it's a living death,and I've lived as long as
I can."
"It ain't hard to die when you've already stopped living."
This has been a great read,and I hope Larry is working on a trilogy;Lord knows he has created enough characters who would be fun to follow.However,please don't make us wait another 12 years.
The Desert Rose: A Novel

Looking for love in all the wrong places...
Feb. 20 2004
This review is from:
The Desert Rose: A Novel (Paperback)
Not a typical McMurtry novel;but then again none of his are.I've had this book for a long time as well as it's sequel "The Late Child"and for a change of pace decided to give it a try.
It is a great read.Somewhat like "Tems of Endearment";but more along the lines of "Cadillac Jack";which was my first McMurtry novel and probably my favorite.As a matter of fact I would'nt have been surprised if he has shown up somewhere;maybe at one of Myrtle's garage sales.
McMurtry has put together a great bunch of characters who all belong with one another.Kind of like the cast you find in a novel by Erskine Caldwell,Kinky Friedman,Hunter Thompson or even Steinbeck.These characters come from a different slice of life . These are the personal lives of the people who live very public lives in the Las Vegas entertainment world.In spite of it all, these are real people.Mc Murtry shows it is a tough world and eats up the workers and gamblers and spits them out when they reach the end of their prime or run out of cash.Rather than being Rednecks I guess you'd have to call them Pinknecks.They are somewhat akin to those loveable characters we know as Carnies.
Anyway, the book is a great,fast moving read with a surprise on every turn of a page.A lot of characters and I'm glad I made notes as they appeared so I could keep track of them.
Liked it so much I'm reading "The Late Child " next to see what happened to all these characters.It's surprising that so much time went by between this book and the sequel--12 years.
An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror

America must fight and win the War on Terror
Feb. 18 2004
This review is from:
An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror (Hardcover)
If you believe that America should ignore 9/11,and leave it to someone else like the United Nations ,to ensure her Freedoms are protected,don't bother reading this book.The Democrats have chosen to put their efforts into defeating the government ahead of fighting the enemy.The War on Terror is not a battle between Liberals and Conservatives;but a war against an enemy that wants
to destroy a way of life based on freedom of the people.
The authors have done an excellent job of showing how this war developed and what America must do to protect herself. Pessimism and defeatism will not win this war.9/11 proved that appeasement,blindly trusting tyrants and ignoring reality only encourages these evil intentions.America did not seek this war but she will win it ;for the simple reason that there is no other option.What it costs to win the war is not an issue any more than it was in the Civil War,WW1,WW2 or the Cold War.
As the war proceeds, it is important that America looks at the actions rather than listening to the rhetoric of countries to determine which are her friends and which are not.America's friends may well change.As John Manyard Keyes said "When the facts change I change my opinions".
The authors conclude with this...
"A world at peace,a world governed by law,a world in which all peoples are free to find their own destinies.That dream has not yet come true,it will not come true soon,but if it ever does come true,it will be brought into being by American armed might and defended by American might too.America's vocation is not an imperial vocation.Our vocation is to support justice with power.It is a vocation that has earned us terrible enemies.It is a vocation that has made us,at our best moments,the hope of the world."
This was proven in WW1 ,WW2 and the Cold Was and will be again in The War on Terror.
The leaders of the terrorists should remind themselve of the words of the Japanese commander after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.."I fear all we have managed to do was to awaken a sleeping giant".

This review is from:
Trailsman 248 Sixgun Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
Another good episode of The Trailsman.A little gold mining town tries to grow in spite of a bunch of outlaws trying to take control.Thanks to others, and with the help of The Trailsman, the good succeed.This is a well written story with just enough doubt to keep it exciting without being bogged down and convoluted like a who-done-it.Must also comment on the excellent descriptions in the book as well as the great artwork on the cover.A great recreational read.
Who killed Canadian history?

Granatstein is right on;but it is not only our history!
Feb. 16 2004
This review is from:
Who killed Canadian history? (Paperback)
In reality it is not the history of our land that is boring;but the people who have led our institutions and the agendas of those who have been installed in them.
It's natural to compare ourselves to the Americans and their history,but that is pointless because as soon as they were able they drove out the European control by Revolution and set about to create One Nation with their own principles.
That was not the case here.We continued to be colonies and preferred to be led by the mother country mentality of England and France through Peace,Order and Good Government.Therefore, since these two countries were never in agreement,why would one expect that creating a country based on the principles of both of them end up with a Nation which would be united throughout.
Hence,having gotten off on this approach ,we have always confronted our devevopment issues with a strong determination that above all else compromise would rule.
There was a glimmer of light after the two World Wars that we might get on with creating One Nation that was for all of us,but those deep seated divisions only became enlarged.
Take something as basic as our flag;rather than unison ,every province now has their own,where most did'nt even have one and Quebec has given it little notice,other than a great lack of disinterest,to put it mildly.
So, rather than working towards unity we compromised with the misguided concept of Bilnguialism and Biculturalism.All that has done is to emphasize the past differences and drive us further apart.If that wasn't bad enough,we dreamed up the idea that since the Americans believed in the melting pot to create One Nation;we cound'nt do that,we went the Multicultural route and encouraged retention of the very ideas that these new arrivals were leaving behind.
Now we wonder "Who Killed Canadian History?"
There,s little doubt that the leftist ideologies that permeate our government and government agencies has carried us down this road. The idea that "we know what's good for you" and don't bother yourself,we'll take care of you is firmly entrenched.What ever happened to the idea that it is my responsibility, particularly since I'm paying for it.I am entitled to have a say.
The book very well outlines the problem.He shows that Political Correctness ,an oxymoron,by the way;is rampant,but doesn't dwell on how it became so established.
As a matter of fact he even suggests that the solutions should come from the same educational establishments that created the the problem. I don't think so !The only way out is to take that establishment totally apart,get rid of the vast majority holding these destructive agendas and rebuild the whole system from the bottom up. Education should be universal using a merit,performance based,voucher system where the people who pay for the education have some say on how their resources are to be spent.This will not be offered by the establishment;but must be wrestled away from them to get education out of its quaigmire.

"These are good weapons we're building,comrades!"
Feb. 13 2004
This review is from:
K-19 THE WIDOWMAKER: The Secret Story of The Soviet Nuclear Submarine (Paperback)
A great expose on the Soviet Navy.Although we all remember the Cold War and the phychological war between the USSR and the West,particularly the US.The massive buildups on both sides seemed to be without end.With the continual blustering of Russia,and continual expansion of communision we all wondered where it would all end.Little did we suspect that the powerful Soviet system would collapse from within with hardly a wimper.Many still don't understand how such a powerful system could fall apart so easily.Well,reading this book will show how the whole system was rotten to the core and totally inept in every aspect except brutality and deceit particularly towards their own people.It's amazing after all the slavery,sacrifice,brutality,forced labor camps,oppression and all the other evils carried out by the government, that so little was accomplished.
This book shows that while we feared these Soviet subs,the real threat was that they were so poorly designed,constructed,maintained and operated that the biggest threat was that they would have a malfunction and cause a major disaster.
To quote a little that sums up the Cold War from pg.210...
"The Cold War ,after all,was not just a military chess game,an effort to maintain the balance of nuclear power,with that wonderful concept Mutual Assured Destruction. It was also a war in a much more literal sense,a war of attrition.Our strategy in constantly upping the ante in the arms race was to push the entire Soviet system to the breaking point.And of course,that strategy succeeded.The Cold War is over,and we were the winners."
The book is well researched,well written and very informative.
Great Depression: America in the 1930s

Brother,can you spare a dime?...
Feb. 12 2004
This review is from:
Great Depression: America in the 1930s (Library Binding)
This is the first book I've read that is totally about the Great Depression.However,I have read all of Steinbeck's,Erskine Caldwell's and numerous by and about Woody Guthrie as well as many about Capone and other Gangsters.While these were all about the same period,they tended to zero in on specific ways of life,even though one aspect of the depression did not escape the effect of another.The black sharecroppers in the Deep South of Caldwell,the bootlegging,clubs and turf wars of Chicago of Capone and Ness,the Dust Bowl migrations of the Oakies of Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie give detailed insight of people living through these times but but each went on almost oblivous to each other.What Watkins has done is to deal with every
thing during the Depression and somewhat ties it all together. This is was no mean feat.
He leaned towards Government,Big Business ,Politics , Unions and other Organizations and shows how they were the source of the problems and in the final analysis had to be the solution. It was not the honest,hard working ,good,trusting majority of the people who suffered so much,that brought on this mess and they were sure helpless to correct it.As a matter of fact most of the systems prevented them by law and control from doing so.
Watkins gives most of the credit of getting things turned around to FDR and there is no doubt that he had to fight everyone to do it;in many cases his own party.This has often been the case in America from the times of Washington to Bush of today.Often the President stands alone and as Truman said "The buck stops here!" The great presidents had what it took to deal with the challenges of their times.The less great did not.
America was flat on its back and pulled itself up by its bootstraps without the help of any other country.In only a few years became strong enough to lead the charge to defeat the enemies in WWII.
The Commander of the Japanese Fleet that led the Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor said it all.."I fear all we have managed to do is to wake a sleeping giant." How right he was!
The book is well researched,well written,well organized with many excellent photographs.On top of that, it is easy reading--for a History book.

This review is from:
Rory And Ita (Paperback)
I've read all of Roddy Doyle's books,and no doubt about it,this one is totally different.
This is not a book about Roddy,as a matter of fact it is not really a book by Roddy at all.
This is a book by Rory and Ita Doyle and about their lives and the lives of their parents,grandparents,families and friends.Not only it is written through their eyes and by them,Roddy is hardly even mentioned .His only involvement would seem to have been the catalyst between his parents and the publishers to make the book happen.
Having said that,I found it a very well written and interesting read.It beautifully desceibes the lives,hopes,trials,tribulations,joys,sadness,struggles,family relations,friends,working,religious and all the other things involved in living in Ireland;during most of the 20th.Century.
In many ways it was not all that different where I grew up in Nova Scotia,where many were of Irish and Scottish descent.
In both places,as well as the rest of Europe and America,things were tough,jobs were hard to find,money was tight,but people survived,and in many ways were just as happy as today.
My parents were born about 20 years earlier than Rory and Ita, and went through much the same things that they did working,creating a home and raising a family.I suppose that the biggest difference was that WW1 and WW2 affected things much differently here and The War of Independence certainly had profound effects there.But, inspite of those events ,life went on.
Therefore;as a book that describes the way life went on throughout the 20th Century for a middle class family in Ireland,it is excellent.Wouldn't every family love to have one?It seems to me it would be a much more treasured heirloom than Great Grandmothers drop-leaf table.

This review is from:
Let Freedom Ring: The Words That Shaped Our America (Hardcover)
This book summarizes the landmark events and statements that enshrine the ideas and desires of freedom being the foundation of the Founding Fathers and the Citizens when creating America.
It shows that Freedom has always been the guiding light,particularly during times of internal strife or attack by foreign countries.It shows that there is no price that America would be unwilling to pay in defence of Freedom.
Although there is not an author to this book,Sterling has done a great job of putting this book together.Where else can you find these major addresses all in one book?
The speeches in this century by Wilson,The Roosevelts, Eisenhower,Kennedy,King,Johnson and Bush show that the concept of Freedom has been only strengthened by adversity and remains as strong as in the past.What other country compares?
The book is beautifully illustrated and even includes the words and music of several songs.
A reading of President Bush,s Address to Congress on September,20,2001;will show the determination that America will apply to the War on Terror.

This review is from:
Browser's Ecstasy (Paperback)
Let,s face it ,books about books are boring and more than a little snooby.This is one.
I enjoy books about books,readers,writers,collectors and book people in general;but this left me cold.The author takes a bookish approach to some excellent basic ideas and ends up writing to a very small audience,who may very well be enthralled by it.
To me, the best part of the book was the cover.
Did her lover give her "The Browser's Estacy" to read while he immersed himself in "The Poetics of Meaning" or "The Master of the Day of Judgement"? Or did he ask her what she thought of this book. "Great!put me to sleep in no time at all".
No doubt, some will really like this book,but my preference is more towards "Passion for Books" by Rabinowitz & Kaplan or"The Anatomy of Bibliomania" by Holbrook Jackson.For me, these are exceptions to my opening remark.

Nicely done...
I'm always looking for music such as this, heh heh. I love the sound of this one, 'dark' isn't -quite- the right word for it, but it's similar. Perhaps 'struggling' is a better term.
Hehe, thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it.
I like to think of this piece as being intense, but that's just me.

Totally amazing
I feel It really captured the feeling of the story i liked it.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration said Friday it planned to raise fines significantly for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, part of a broader effort that includes improved border security after Congress failed to pass immigration-related legislation in 2007.
The hikes in employer fines would be the first since 1999. The new policy is the latest aimed at the most sensitive pressure point in illegal immigration: the businesses that employ the workers.
The Homeland Security department has intensified raids on rogue companies in the past three years, prosecuting executives on criminal charges and arresting workers for identity theft.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the administration was acting to fill the vacuum left by Congress and that fixes were needed to deal with illegal immigration and to improve the system through which people enter the U.S. legally.

Man charged with shooting cat
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 9:36 a.m.
THIBODAUX – A 20-year-old Larose man was arrested Sunday for allegedly shooting a neighbor's cat with a pellet gun.
Kevin Billiot, 126 Ledet Lane, is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
The orange Tabby cat was found bleeding from the leg and chest near Billiot's shed, Lafourche sheriff's deputies said. When questioned, Billiot said he was only trying to scare the cat.
The cat is expected to survive the shooting, deputies said. Billiot was released from the Lafourche Parish jail after posting a $1,500 bond.

Photo Details
This picture had written on the front bottom of the original: "Willie Frost, Age Seven Years." On the back is written: "Willie W. Frost, Born in Nelsonville, O[hio] Feb 19, 1873." The back reveals who took the picture and where. William's father, Alvah P. Frost, was born in June 1837, and married his wife, Julia Watkins, in 1861. They had two children, Willie Watkins Frost and Adelaide Gail Frost, who was born earlier, in 1869. Alvah was a Christian minister, the pastor of the First Christian Church of Athens, Ohio ca 1887. Willie became a Christian minister also, whereas Adelaide, became a missionary in India. At one point, Alvah moved his young family to Minnesota. Years later, unfortunately, Willie died there from an electrical shock. Alvah, his wife, their daughter Adelaide, and their son Willie, are all buried in the Hiram Cemetery in Portage County, Ohio. Alvah P. Frost died 14 June, 1912, William died 25 Sep 1915, William's son by his wife, Bessie M. (?), Dwight Gable Frost, was born in 1899, died in 1918, and Adelaide died in 1928. I wish to thank John Dubois for providing the extra dates and data, which he obtained from cemetery markers and the Hiram College yearbook.

Janice Martinez Adelaide Gail Frost was the namesake of my great-grandmother, Adelaide Gail Jenks. Julia Watkins and my g-grandmother were young girls together. I am searching for a photo identified as Adelaide Gail so that I can compare it with unidentified photos I believe contain her pictures.

Bloomberg FX Survey Predicts Currency Wars to Continue in 2012
Press Release
Bloomberg FX11 Summit Gathers Foreign Exchange Experts & Economists
New York -- More countries may artificially depreciate their currencies in 2012, provoking "currency wars," according to 64 percent of foreign exchange executives surveyed at a Bloomberg FX conference.
The poll results, released today, were taken at the recent Bloomberg's FX11 Summit, which gathered more than 270 bankers, portfolio managers, traders and treasurers from leading firms to discuss trends in the foreign exchange markets and the economic outlook for the coming year.
"The Bloomberg FX11 Summit tackled the critical issues that will shape the currency markets in the next six to 12 months," said Tod Van Name, Global Head of Foreign Exchange and Economics at Bloomberg. "Surveying our audience allowed us to understand how the currency markets may respond to current monetary policy decisions and giant swings in the currency market that these decisions may create."
Results of the FX11 survey show:
Currency wars will continue next year - Sixty-four percent of participants say global currency wars will continue because more countries may artificially depreciate their currencies in 2012.
EU nations may drop Euro as their currency - Forty-two percent of participants say they expect the number of countries using the Euro as their currency to decline over the next 5 years. Today, 17 countries in the EU use the Euro as their currency.
Chinese Yuan will gain on US dollar - Almost 75 percent of the participants expect Chinese Yuan to appreciate by as much as 10 percent against the US dollar by 2012.
More will rely on technical analysis - Thirty-eight percent of respondents say technical analysis will be the most reliable approach to foreign exchange trading in the next year. Only 15 percent of respondents say a carry trade strategy can be relied on under current economic conditions.
Emerging markets currency will take on the USD - Fifty-eight percent of respondents predicted that emerging market currencies will outperform the US dollar in 2012.
"We were surprised to see that FX executives are favoring technical analysis now," Van Name said, "as carry trade has netted the best results over the last 10 to 15 years. While market volatility and carry trades are incompatible in the short-run, it will be interesting to see how well technical analysis will perform amid sharp moves introduced by government intervention."
Bloomberg FX is available on the Bloomberg Professional service, which provides price discovery, valuation, pre-and-post trade services and execution for more than 180 different currencies.

ExtJsWithDwr project on GitHub
The ExtJsWithDwr project has been announced on the Ext 2.x User Extensions and Plugins forums. As support has been added and checked in for Ext 3.x, I wanted to get a thread post started for Ext 3.x.
In this thread, I expect to see:
- Questions about Ext.ux.data.DwrProxy
- Bug reports for Ext.ux.data.DwrProxy
- Ideas for additions to the ExtJsWithDwr project.
Relevant links:
14 Jun 2009 11:31 AM #2
An upgrade guide for moving from v2 -> v3 of Ext.ux.data.DwrProxy has been added here: http://github.com/BigLep/ExtJsWithDw...GRADE.markdown.
Next up is to add support for the other CRUD operations within Ext.ux.data.DwrProxy (see http://github.com/BigLep/ExtJsWithDwr/issues/#issue/7).
15 Jun 2009 8:21 AM #3
Just a quick update that I made this change: http://github.com/BigLep/ExtJsWithDw...0a1b2aab6392d5
Refactored DwrProxy so that it mirrors Ext.data.HttpProxy. The load method has been removed. This is a first step to make it easier to support additional CRUD methods, and to make one understand the proxy code easier as it's now more similar to Ext 3.x's proxies. The upgrade guide was also updated noting to not use the loadexception event or the load method as they have both been deprecated in Ext 3.x.
1 Jul 2009 8:07 PM #4
Just an update that I won't be able to work on the remaining CRUD methods for Ext.ux.data.DwrProxy. I have been oncall for the last weeks at work, which has chewed up my extra bandwidth. In addition, I have 16 family members coming to town for 2 weeks, at which time I'll be on vacation and disconnecting from the computer. I will resume working on improving/supporting DwrProxy then.

Emergency problem...
Hi, I have problem in using the DWRProxy. I'm trying an example as below:
var store = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
fields: [
{name: 'id', type:'int'},
{name: 'description', type: 'string'},
{name: 'firste', mapping:"author.firstName", type: 'string'},
{name: 'last', mapping:"author.lastName", type: 'string'}
var myData = new Ext.data.Store({
proxy: new Ext.data.DWRProxy(TodoService.getItems, true),
reader: new Ext.data.ListRangeReader( {id:'id', totalProperty:'totalSize'}, recordType),
remoteSort: true
The DWRProxy was 1.x version. I tried to adapt to the dwr 3.0 & ext js 3.0, but it doesn't work. Error message shown: 'TodoService' is not defined.
What should I do?
12 Aug 2009 4:40 AM #7
hm? from my point of view this is problem in the dwr, not ExtJs... check your dwr imports... :-)
13 Aug 2009 12:30 AM #8
Thanks trnl. I agree that's the dwr's problem. The code originally is for dwr and ext js version 1(http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5586).
I tried to fit the code to dwr and ext js version 3. The <!DOCTYPE dwr PUBLIC "-//GetAhead Limited//DTD Direct Web Remoting 3.0//EN" "http://getahead.org/dwr/dwr30.dtd"> in dwr.xml has modified so it suit to dwr version 3. However, it still doesn't work.
14 Aug 2009 10:24 AM #9
14 Aug 2009 11:10 AM #10
:-) Ok... I have written some implementation, particular for 'update'...It's woks for me... I will be at office tomorrow, and I think I will finish it. I've made some changes... I will post it here...

I have volunteered with New Heights for about a year now and I have to say I didn't come in with much expectations. I expected to receive assignments, do them, and be done. But man was I wrong. Whether you expect it or not, whether you want it or not, you're joining a new family and might as well make your last name Clark. All the people I've had to work with are so supportive and understanding of any situation and there's always that feeling that you are contributing so much, even when you think you're doing so little. And from what i hear, that is reflected towards all the parents and students New Heights reaches out too. Whether volunteering or utilizing one of the offered programs, new heights is the perfect place for any student and family to find help, support and comfort-all the perks of being a Clark.

I have been volunteering for New Heights for about six years now. This is an exceptional nonprofit to volunteer for. They are not just a nonprofit, they are family. Everyone is wonderful, caring, and so helpful. I have learned so much within my work with New Heights. It has not only helped me pursue further in my career, it has taught me a respect for the work that these individuals do day in and day out. Within my years of service to New Heights, I have grown in regards to my awareness in education and my community. This organization has left a lasting impression that will never leave my heart and mind. Joining as a volunteer with New Heights is the best decision that I could have made and I am beyond excited that I have been able to be a part of this family.
I volunteered with New Heights Educational Group and have been very impressed with the dedication, and vast array of resources that have been, and continue to be amassed. The opportunities to learn about a wide range of topics was an unexpected delight in my volunteering. There is a dearth of information on this website.
We are brand new to home schooling for our daughter with Autism. We quickly found that there is confusion between what our public school district thinks the rules are and what the ODE thinks the rules are and neither always matches up with the Ohio Revised Code. I contacted Pamela Clark of New Heights Educational Group and told her of our issues and frustrations. She went above and beyond to get the information we needed and helped us to make sense of the overwhelming process and expected nothing of us in return. I can't say enough how appreciative we are of her time and expertise. ~ S.Lucente
New Heights is an exceptional organization to volunteer for. I have been a volunteer for about seven months now and it is a highly rewarding place to be. The organization is always growing and evolving their thoughts for continuous improvement. Volunteers are encouraged and listened to. The leadership of Mrs. Clark is exemplary and all volunteers are appreciated. The mission of the company really makes you feel like you're making a difference. Other volunteers are also friendly, amazing people with a diverse range of talents and backgrounds. I couldn't think of a better place to have chosen to put my time into. New Heights Educational Group is simply fantastic.
I have been a volunteer with the New Heights Educational Groups for four years now and I have had a an amazing experience working with Pamela. New Heights is very welcoming and generous. I've learned so much and they've also helped me grow. Pamela has helped me in so many ways and I am so grateful. I'd like to thank Pamela and the entire New Heights Educational Group for also having me a part of it.
I've been providing pro bono copy editing services to New Heights Educational Group for about a year now and am so happy to help New Heights' admirable mission to provide literacy and educational support to children and adults alike. I have been truly inspired by the director/founder, Pamela Clark, and her dedication, sacrifice and hard work!
I act as an educational writer for the New Heights since 2012 and I am very grateful to the institution for the opportunity to contribute to a better world through education. The New Heights gives the turn of voice, believing that everyone has special gifts and talents, able to be fantastically enhanced and leveraged for the benefit of yourself and for the society. Pamela Clark is a woman of vision and a great educator who seeks collectively with the team, the best solutions and strategies in education and development in order to meet the educational needs of each child, student and family. More than an organization that helps people, New Heights is an institution that sees potential and values, believing in the human being, and that each individual is able to perform.
Congratulations to all of New Heights Educational Group, and may God continue to guide us in this amazing journey !!

Dear Sir or Ma'am,
My name is Maggie Spangler, I am a member of New Heights Educational Group and my daughter, Kathryne, has been receiving tutoring lessons since February 2015. First Sue Sidaway and now Heather Ruggiero have been tutoring Kathryne in Math three times a week and I have seen major improvements. Heather has been great at sending me updates and reports of her progress, what they have been working on and ideas on how to help her even further.
Vanh Vue has been tutoring Kathryne in science three times a week and she is actually comprehending, retaining and making connections on what she is learning in science. This has always been difficult for Kathryne since she had many seizures clear up to eight years old which caused her to have a 2-2 ½ year learning delay.
These ladies have been amazing in assisting Kathryne to where she is now and I hope we can continue to do so over the next few years to help get Kathryne caught up!
Maggie Spangler
Hello, my name is Kathryne Spangler and I am a home schooler. New Heights Educational Group sent me these tutors Sue Sidaway, Vanh Vue, and Heather Ruggiero to help me in math and science. I just want to take some time and thank them for their help. Sue Sidaway and Heather Ruggiero have helped me so much in math I'm actually enjoying and understanding it better. Vanh Vue has helped me understand science by breaking it down for me piece by piece. I'm learning new concepts because I can now understand and I'm making connections to real life scenarios.
Mr. Nibu has been an immense help as a volunteer for New Heights. Pamela Clark, the director of New Heights, asked Nibu to put together an official high school transcripts for our high schoolers. My oldest daughter graduated this past year and Nibu helped me rearrange, proofread and polish up her transcripts to submit to colleges. This was extremely helpful to me. Thank you, Nibu!

I have been with Pamela Clark, the President of New Heights Educational Group, from the beginning. Not only has this been an amazing expierence for me as an individual but New Heights has been extremly helpful to me as a parent. The funds that we raised through fundraising events, to be used to help our students persue their dreams or goals, helped my son continue his desire to persue martial arts. My one daughter, who had many seizures as an infant thru 8 yrs old, had many learning delays and issues. By participating in New Heights activities she was able to freely interact with other children of all ages with no fear of being made fun of. This freedom allowed her to blossom and gain the confidence she needed. My children have also made lifelong friends from participating in these activities which include: field trips, cooking classes, and enrichment classes.

Ramon and Shane Diesel use their huge wankers to try and split small-framed women like seasoned firewood. While a number of the women honestly look like they're being turned inside out by the cocks, Riley Shy takes it the deepest when she gets hammered in piledriver. Kitty's sleep walk for huge cock is amusing and tattoo lovers will dig Lucy Fire's pussy ink.
The DVD certainly lives up to its title as Ramon and Shane are both hung like well-endowed water buffaloes. Swallowing fans will adore Lexi Leigh's gulp of a major cum puddle that rests in her mouth. Interracial fans will dig the smorgasbord of white, Asian, black and Hispanic performers. While there is no anal sex in the feature, Shane does repeatedly slam a woman's ass in the 25-minute bonus scene.

Pearl Harbor Veteran Bud Montagne Dies
Steve Inskeep has a remembrance of Bud Montagne, the late father of Morning Edition most Renee Montagne. Bud Montagne died Saturday night.
STEVE INSKEEP, Host:
Now let's remember a veteran of a very different war. Arthur Bernard Montagne died over the weekend. Seventy years ago he was a sailor: a U.S. Navy radio operator on the Battleship California, which was anchored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was the morning of December 7th, 1941.
ARTHUR BERNARD MONTAGNE: And I could look out and see the Japanese planes, which were just airplanes to me. And I thought it was just a drill that nobody told us about.
INSKEEP: Bud Montagne was a 20-year-old sailor from Iowa. He'd joined the Navy because he couldn't afford college in the Great Depression. So in 1941, he stood on an upper deck of the battleship, watching those mysterious planes.
BERNARD MONTAGNE: I saw two of them approaching us just about the level of my eyes across the harbor. And they obviously were two torpedo planes. And about half the distance across the harbor, they each dropped their torpedo. Then I started watching the rivulets of the torpedoes coming and approaching the ship. And then finally they disappeared from my view and a fraction of a second later they hit the side of our ship.
INSKEEP: Decades later, Bud Montagne told his story on this program. He said he expected to die at Pearl Harbor. He thought he would never get married, never have kids. It's almost a feeling of tranquility, he recalled - this is it.
Instead, Montagne survived, swimming away from his sinking ship in the oily water. He served on another battleship, then became an officer in the U.S. Marines, earning a Bronze Star in the Korean War.
Along the way, he did get married, spending 64 years with his wife Ellene. He did have kids. One of his three children is Renee Montagne, co-host of this program.
Bud Montagne became an engineer, working on projects as far afield as the island of Saipan and Saudi Arabia. And the kid who couldn't afford college in the Depression went to night school as an adult, earning a law degree.
He lived to the age of 90, one of 16 million Americans who served in World War II. Fewer than two million are still with us.
His family was by his side in California when he died at home on Saturday. And that day, the family discovered a few pages of writing in the house. He'd written an account of his life, including an image from his early days in the Navy.
It was from before Pearl Harbor, when Bud Montagne was young man with so many possibilities. He was standing high on a battleship, looking out across the white-capped sea.
INSKEEP: He wrote, I could look down and watch the ship's bow dip deep into the waves and scoop water across the decks, while steaming through a Pacific storm.

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
Even as the Federal Reserve continues to debase the currency in the hope of stimulating the economy while Washington fiddles, wealthy yield-starved investors have been feasting on a different kind of credit that behaves like a certificate of deposit and has been earning returns of up to 10.5%.
Lending Club, an online peer-lending network based in San Francisco, matches consumers to lenders and has made $1.1 billion in loans since its 2007 start. It has seen assets under management in two vehicles that bundle prime consumer loans into investment funds go from zero to $250 million in just 18 months.
The draw? High yields. Its riskier Broad Based Fund pays 9% on a portfolio of prime credits that have a default rate of just 2%. The returns are taxable as ordinary income, but investors who can ante up $500,000 and who are taxed at the top rate of 35% still walk away with a predictable stream of income that surpasses returns on many comparable credits.
Just ask Harvard economist and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, an apparently satisfied customer who joined the Lending Club board last week. (He also sits on the board of tech payment company Square, co-founded by Twitter's Jack Dorsey.) "Information technology is making possible important financial innovations for the benefit of consumers and families alike," he told Barron's.
To say nothing of the benefit to investors. Bon appétit!
Last Week: Review
Fed Moves on QE4
The Federal Reserve plans to vastly expand its $2.8 trillion balance sheet in 2013, with monthly purchases of $45 billion of long-term Treasuries and continued buying of $40 billion of other securities. The stimulus replaces its $45 billion of monthly purchases of long-term Treasury securities and sales of a like amount of short-term instruments. The central bank dropped its mid-2015 target of keeping rates near zero, now tying a rate rise to a jobless rate of 6.5% or lower. By the Fed's reckoning, that would keep short-term rates low into 2015.
Troops to Turkey
The U.S. will deploy two Patriot missile batteries to Turkey with 400 troops to help defend its ally against potential threats from Syria, U.S. officials said. The move comes amid a view that Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, will fall.
Follow the Money
HSBC Holdings agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion in fines to U.S. authorities as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department in which it acknowledged that for years it ignored possible money-laundering and failed to conduct basic due diligence on some of its customers.

The Seagulls boss may have been disappointed with a goalless draw at the npower Championship's bottom club Bristol City but was instead pre-occupied by the injury that forced his striker from the field.
Mackhail-Smith went down sharply when breaking away from Liam Fontaine's challenge just before the interval and immediately signalled for attention.
Poyet said: "It looks bad. Craig could be out for two or three months so his season may be over.
"I don't like the emergency loan system, but I am not so stupid that I won't use it as we are now very short of strikers.
"I'll start looking for a new striker tomorrow. It was meant to be my day off, but now I expect to spend most of it on the phone."
Brighton failed to force a single save from City keeper Tom Heaton and Poyet admitted: "It is not a game I shall be watching again.
"The result is everything. We couldn't pass the ball on the night and didn't play well, but we did the basics right to get a precious point."

Re: Why Am I Not Getting Approved?
I had one thirty day late, which is only reporting on my TU. The reason why I am looking for a new car is because the one I have now has an issue at least once a month. Transmission had to be replaced and some other things. I do plan on trading it in but was also considering selling it on my own and getting more money out of it because there is a balance which isnt that high. the car shhouldnt be upside down. only $2180 left from $4300. I've been looking at cars around $10-11K for like a used Hyundai Sonata or G35. Today I didnt even look for a car just ran the credit before we even got serious and still was denied.
And im still confused as to why the dealer pull showed a score 130 points less ?

The apartment is set on a XVI century's building, which was recently redecorated and updated but still has some antique elements that are being kept for centuries, like the balconies made of stone and wrought iron, the old style wood doors, etc.
This is the perfect choice to go out at night for a drink, to eat well in a great variety of traditional or modern restaurants and enjoy the environment from the balcony. It's a one lifetime experience!
The area is typically "lisboeta" and has a true traditional neighborhood feeling. The morning light offer you a pleasant breakfast while enjoying a bit of sunshine on the balcony.
The streets covered with cobblestones and historic buildings with 500 years that create the sensation of being in the Medieval age for a few moments!
The apartment hosts comfortably 3 people (in a double bed and a single bed). It is placed on the 1st floor, with some steep steps and there is no elevator in this kind of traditional buildings. Therefore, is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility difficulties. On the arrival, some welcome gifts will be at your disposal!
Bairro Alto is a traditional district and one of the most beautiful historic neighborhoods of the city. The narrow and cobbled streets together with building facades decorated with beautiful tiles, clothes drying, traditional Lisbon lamps and flowerpots make of Bairro Alto a very picturesque place.
Inside Bairro Alto, you will find plenty of trendy restaurants serving fresh fish, traditional grocery stores, art galleries, bookshops, stylish alternative fashion shops, pubs and Fado houses. Bairro Alto is quiet during the daytime and lively at night where you can hear a mixture of Fado music with rock, jazz and house music!
Chiado is only step ahead. It's well-known for it's elegance of bookshops, style cafes, trendy restaurants, art noveau jewellery shops and luxurious international shops.
On the top of Bairro Alto, there is Principe Real quarter, a cool actual urban chic area known for it's viewpoint of São Pedro de Alcântara, art galleries, fashion Vintage shops, a biologic market every Saturday morning inside of it's shady garden and also gay bars are popular.
In 3 minutes walking distance you can reach the elegant and beautiful Chiado, that leads you to the downtown of the city (Baixa) and Rossio, in less than 10 minutes by foot.
All transports are very close: metro station of Baixa-Chiado (green/blue line), tram 28 and bus 758 are on a 3 minutes walking distance! The train stations of Rossio and Cais do Sodré are only 10 minutes away.
My main aim is that you have a great experience in Lisbon. I love to stay in contact with my guests from the first moment of their first message! I can provide tips about my favorite restaurants, sightseeing, places outside of the touristic path or something more specific that you might need!
You can tell me about your interests and I will help you to plan your stay, so you can enjoy the city the best way possible! You can count on me for any problem you might have during your stay inside or outside of the apartment.
On arrival, I will meet you at the apartment and give you the keys. I have maps and touristic information available. Just come and be a local, you won't regret!
Not convinced yet? Contact me and I will be pleased to give you further information!
Please keep the apartment the same way you found it. Make sure you don't let electric devices turned on as well as lamps and candles. On rainy days, is very important to close the windows.
We are flexible on check-in and check-out but it depends if there are guests on the next day .
It's desirable to make the payment on the right amount in order to avoid exchanges for both sides.
We will provide one set of keys from the building door and from the apartment door. Every time you leave the apartment, please lock the door of the apartment and make sure the building door stays closed.
No pets are allowed.

We spent an incredible time in Lisbon. the apartment is fantastic, clean and perfectly located. we like it very well. Obrigado por todo Pedro. will certainly come again.
Really good stay. Friendly welcome. Everything fine in the flat. As it lies in the Bairro Alto area it is rather loud on the street. So it fits if you want to enjoy the night life in this fascinating city.
Shyla and I were so very pleased with our entire experience staying with in Lisbon.
Joana was our liaison and she was totally professional in every aspect. She was on time, informative, alert to our needs, and she- importantly- set our expectations for what we would experience at the location we chose. The apartment was set up in a manner that enhanced our stay. Little things- a bit of sugar, some bathroom tissue, cooking and dining utensils- were all in place. We were very happy with everything, and we look forward to working with Joana again on our next visit to Lisbon. Steve
Very nice apartment right in the center of things. If you are a light sleeper take earplugs! It can be very noisily until late. We did not mind as the location is perfect.
Joana was very friendly with tips for restaurants. And very flexible on arrival and departure time as we arrived early and left late. She is a great host. Even before our arrival, at booking, she responded very quickly and friendly.
For breakfast no need to do yourself as there is a very good place close by. Joana will tell you.
Highly recommended.
The flat is very nice and clean. It's located in the area of Lisbon where most bars and restaurants are located. So it could be a little bit loud in the evening, but you have so much opportunities to go out and enjoy the evening and night.
Joana was a great host, gave us some tips and surprised us with delicacies of portugal.
In the flat is everything what you need for a few days in a city.
Thanks Joana for the great days
A lovely apartment in the historic centre. All amenities available. A lively neighbourhood with nice bars and restaurants. Our host, Joana, was terrific. She did her utmost to make us feel at home and gave us a lot of information. Reacted promptly on our mail and telephone call during our stay. A lovely host.
Would recommend this place to anyone. We'll certainly will come back.
Thank you JOANA for warm welcome, perfect communication by sms, mail and chat before and during our stay in Lisbon. The apartment was easy to find because of Joana´s link to Google Maps, only 30 minutes by subway from Lisbon Airport. The flat in the city is very comfortable and can be used by three to four people. Thanks also for the good tips to discover the Portuguese capital. We would like to come again. It was nice to meet Joana.
We had a wonderful time in Lisboa. Thanks to the warm welcome Joana gave us.
The appartment is clean, sunmy and cosy. And a great location, despite the mouse at night. Buy earplugs and you have a great time.

Antiques Considered - January 9, 2013

A lady from the Midwest inherited this secretary bookcase, which has passed through her family for several generations. It is walnut, with poplar secondary wood. The interior is elaborate, with many cubbyholes and small drawers. The family thinks the finish is original, but the somewhere along the road the back has been replaced with plywood.
This piece dates from the mid-nineteenth century, and reflects the taste of the Victorian Age. The style is good, but I question whether it had a crown, that is, a top piece in the form of a pediment or a cornice.
Most such desks did, and it appears that this one might have lost its crown to accommodate a lower ceiling, especially as the piece seems virtually to touch the ceiling. One can tell by seeing if there are dowel holes in the top, which would indicate that the crown rested in them.
The modern plywood backing is a serious detriment, even if not seen by being covered by the books on the shelves. The value of antiques rests largely on their authenticity, and if this desk is missing the crown, which almost certainly it is, as well as it original back, the value is compromised severely.
I suggest looking in the attic for the crown, which might be stored there, and further, having a new, correct back made for the piece. Although the latter would not be original, at least it would be in keeping with the style and practice of the period.
Victorian desks are most valuable when they are most elaborate. Popular tastes tend to run against these pieces, and collectors, who do appreciate them, want them as original as possible. With missing crown and the plywood back this example is worth $350. Complete and in perfect condition the value would be three times that amount.
Happy Antiquing!

12. Entice with Garden Scents
The fountain with lions' heads that cools the lounging area is an antique find. Plant perfumes, often wafting from architectural containers, demand their own blissful attention: The entryway urns welcome visitors with honeysuckle and jasmine; giant herb-garden containers offer up lemon blossoms; and night-blooming cereus opens in pots around the main dining table.

Twyman is a personality in the field of spectroscopy and applied optical measurement. His spectrochemical abstracts compile the literature of spectroscopy during 1933-1937. There are fifteen pages of author references arranged alphabetically. The remaining thirty-four pages are classified into biologic material, earths, electrodes, gases, industrial materials, liquids, metals and alloys, minerals, nonmetals, oxides, precipitates, soils, apparatus, methods, general, and a list of books. Any active worker in spectroscopy has his own filing system. The value of Twyman's references lies in his careful selection of manuscripts. There are, of course, certain omissions of literature data and larger treatises on spectroscopy, but they will be noted by the modern spectroscopist. In general, the little brochure is a handy tool on the table of any scientific worker making use of spectroscopic apparatus.

Nicholls looks for wins as SLC play begins
Published: Wednesday, January 3, 2007 at 10:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 3, 2007 at 11:58 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- Nicholls States basketball teams have a New Years Resolution: To win more games in 2007.
Its one that is easier said than done, however. The mens and womens teams combined for an abysmal 3-22 mark in non-conference play. Many of the losses came in "guarantee" games against opponents from larger conferences.
Starting this Thursday, all guarantees are off. Both squads start their Southland Conference schedules with a spotless record.
The Lady Colonels (2-9) take the court in Stopher Gym Thursday night against defending SLC champion Stephen F. Austin at 6:30. They round out the week with a road game against Sam Houston State on Saturday.
The Colonels (1-13) travel to Stephen F. Austin to open conference Thursday, but begin conference play at home Saturday at 5 p.m. against Sam Houston.
Both of Nicholls opponents this week are in the SLCs West Division. The Colonels, who are in the East Division, play the western teams once, while they play their eastern rivals twice.
When the Lady Colonels play Stephen F. Austin, it wont be their first game of the week. On Tuesday, Nicholls fell to Ole Miss, 87-50.
Lady Colonels coach Mark Cook said playing the Lady Rebels served as better preparation for Thursdays game than practicing for it would.
"They both like to push the ball and have good athletes," Cook said. "They even run their fast-breaks the same. So it was a good tune-up for Stephen F. Austin. I dont like going into conference play without playing someone."
Stephen F. Austin (8-5) enters Thursdays contest with the leagues best record.
Post player Charity Egenti leads the Ladyjacks in scoring (14.7 points per game) and rebounds (8.4 per game).
On paper, Nicholls is a heavy underdog, but the Lady Colonels were also a heavy underdog when they upset Stephen F. Austin 68-67 last February at home.
"We split with them last year and I think we have a shot of beating them this year," Cook said. "Just because they are picked to win the conference this year doesnt mean we are going to roll over."
Seniors Jamie Octave (16.1 points per game) and Claire Barry (11.2 ppg) lead Nicholls in scoring. The Lady Colonels are currently averaging around 50 points per game.
If Nicholls pulls an upset Thursday, it would have a strong chance of finishing the first week of conference play 2-0. On Saturday, the Lady Colonels travel to Sam Houston (3-10). The Lady Bearkats feature no double-digit scorers, but have four players averaging seven or more points.
After playing one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the nation, the Colonels wont get much of a breather when they open conference this week. Their opponents this week -- Stephen F. Austin (7-5) and Sam Houston (8-5) -- both have winning records.
Making matters worse, Nicholls could be down to seven players when it takes on the Lumberjacks Thursday. Swingman Aaron Scott is day-to-day with a strained MCL, as is point guard Gil Verner (ankle).
Despite the injuries and the Colonels 1-13 start, the team is "surprisingly upbeat," coach J.P. Piper said.
"We challenged them after that (Louisiana-Monroe) game that were back to 0-0," Piper said, referring to his teams 80-76 loss to the Warhawks last Thursday. "The only thing that matters is these 16 games and we have as good a chance as anyone in this league to be successful."
Nicholls is led by senior forward Stefan Blaszcyznski, who after missing the first six games with a stress fracture in his foot, is averaging more than 20 points and seven rebounds in the eight games since he returned. Junior guard Adonis Gray is second on the team in scoring at 15 points per night, and first in field goal percentage (49 percent).
Stephen F. Austin leads the SLC in field goal percentage (50 percentage) and points allowed (62 per game).
The Lumberjacks have three players averaging double figures, including sophomore guard Josh Alexander (15.3 ppg), who shoots 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
"Stephen F. Austin will have to show up Thursday night," Piper said. "If they dont, we will beat them. Well talk about Sam Houston on the bus Thursday night."
The Bearkats are on a two-game winning streak, which began after their 14-point road loss to No.1 UCLA. Junior forward Ryan Bright (6-foot-6) leads Sam Houston in scoring (15.2) and rebounding (7.5). Senior point guard Jejuan Plair chips in 12 points per game and is second in the conference in assists (six per game).
Although Piper hopes his team can split the two games this week, he said its not the end of the season if they dont.
"Weve been 0-2 here before," Piper said. "Last year, we started 3-1 and then couldnt win. So Im not going to overstate the importance of getting one of these first two."

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1983
Running Time: 101
Director: Russ Meyer
Company: Paragon
Cast: Miriam Hopkins, Letitia Roma
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Alternative
Before Russ Meyer brought the world his own euphoric brand of movie-making known as "Bosomania," he would occasionally crank out cheap costume comedies overseas. Such is the case with this recent paragon release, Fanny Hill. Meyer himself claims to have served only as a hired hand on this European production produced by noted schlockmeister Albert (High School Confidential) Zugsmith. But while this time-worm tale about the renowned lady of promiscuity proves tepid at best, it's still important to see simply because Meyer was involved with it.
Made in 1964, this black-and-white production takes place during the 1700's in a small village near Liverpool, England. Fanny Hill, played by the fetching Letitia Roma, is a naïve young woman – amply endowed, - who finds herself looking for lodging at the village employment office. The proprietor, Mrs. Snow (sporting more than a hint of a moustache), finds the young wench a perfect occupation as part of a stable of prostitutes looked after by Mrs. Brown (Miriam Hopkins).
At first, Fanny is confused by the surroundings. Bumbling patrons like Dingelspear and Mr. Norbert can't understand why the lovely girls is reluctant to have a go at it. Even Mrs. Brown entertains callers in the parlor. Is Fanny frigid?
No, not quite. One rainy night, Fanny meets a young mane named Charles. They have a roll in a haystack, and Fanny is swept off her feet. She decides to save herself for him. And in the film's finale, as Fanny is about to marry a man she really doesn't love, Charles returns to save the day in true Graduate fashion.
Few sexual sparks fly in this film. The sexiest scenes feature women with barebacks and in tight low-cut blouses. Undoubtedly, if the film was released today it would be raged PG. There is little evidence that suggest Russ Meyer directed this project. His trademarks, like ultra-Macho male characters, cartoonish humor and lightning quick editing style, are strikingly absent. Even what passes for humor here – speeded up chandelier-swinging antics and men's wigs going up in flames – are decidedly off the mark.
Still, those interested in the roots of one of America's premier satirists of sex should take a look at Fanny Hill. Mountain-climbers have to tackle small, obscure peaks before they reach Mr. Everest. The same is true of filmmakers.

WASHINGTON (January 15, 2014) The National Security Agency has implanted software in nearly 100,000 computers around the world that allows the U.S. to conduct surveillance on those machines, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The Times cited NSA documents, computer experts and U.S. officials in its report about the use of secret technology using radio waves to gain access to computers that other countries have tried to protect from spying or cyberattacks.
The NSA calls the effort an "active defense" and has used the technology to monitor units of the Chinese Army, the Russian military, drug cartels, trade institutions inside the European Union, and sometime U.S. partners against terrorism like Saudi Arabia, India and Pakistan.
The NSA says the technology has not been used in computers in the U.S.
