Best First Line/Opening of a Book?
|Posted on
(Original post by thirstysailor)
I know it's a cliché now, but it's still a great opening line
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife'
Pride and Prejudice
"Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling
Toss up between:
'Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.' - Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf.
'I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me...' - Tristram Shandy, Lawrence Sterne.
'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.' - Finnegan's Wake, James Joyce.
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
To be, or not to be: that is the question.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" - pride and prejudice.
Don't know why but it always seems to stick in my head :P
"So what's it going to be then, eh?"
Starts each part of A Clockwork Orange, good old A2 English langlit coursework!
The epigraph of The Inheritance of Loss, Kiran Desai
Writings of light assault the darkness, more prodigious than
The tall unknowable city takes over the countryside.
Sure of my life and death, I observe the ambitious and would
like to understand them.
Their day is greedy as a lariat in the air.
Their night is a rest from the rage within steel, quick to attack.
They speak of humanity.
My humanity is in feeling we are all voices of that same poverty.
They speak of homeland.
My homeland is the rhythm of a guitar, a few portraits, an old
sword, the willow grove's visible prayer as evening falls.
Time is living me.
More silent than my shadow, I pass through the loftily covetous
They are indispensable, singular, worthy of tomorrow.
My name is someone and anyone.
I walk slowly, like one who comes from so far away he doesn't
expect to arrive.

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Discovering a way to prevent, delay or treat Alzheimer's disease is a major area of medical research. And learning about the latest health benefits of coffee is a hot topic in nutrition.
(Learn more about Delaying Alzheimer's Symptoms)
New research supported by the NIH-designated Florida Alzheimer's Disease Research Center brings these two areas of research together, finding that another health benefit of coffee might be to help protect against Alzheimer's disease.
To understand why the coffee research is so exciting, here is a quick look at the scope of Alzheimer's drug development, from a pharmaceutical industry statement late last year.
Searching for an Alzheimer's Medicine
America's biopharmaceutical companies are researching 98 medicines for dementia, mostly Alzheimer's, according to The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. All 98 are either in clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The work indicates a major commitment to Alzheimer's, given that each new medicine costs, on average, more than $1 billion to research and develop.
Florida Researchers Point to Coffee's Health Benefits
"No synthetic drugs have yet been developed to treat the underlying Alzheimer's disease process" said Dr. Gary Arendash, the study's other lead author. "We see no reason why an inherently natural product such as coffee cannot be more beneficial and safer than medications, especially to protect against a disease that takes decades to become apparent after it starts in the brain."
Discover why Speaking Two Languages Delays Alzheimer's
Health Benefits of Coffee for Alzheimer's disease
A yet unidentified component of coffee interacts with the beverage's caffeine, which could be a surprising reason why daily coffee intake protects against Alzheimer's disease.
These findings on the new coffee health benefits appear in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. http://www.j-alz.com
Previous Coffee Research
Previous observational studies in humans reported that daily coffee/caffeine intake during mid-life and in older age decreases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The USF researchers' earlier studies in Alzheimer's mice indicated that caffeine was likely the ingredient in coffee that provides these health benefits because it decreases brain production of the abnormal protein beta-amyloid, which is thought to cause the disease.
Read Leptin Fights Alzheimer's Disease
Beyond Caffeine—Other Benefits of Coffee
The new study does not diminish the importance of caffeine to protect against Alzheimer's. Rather it shows that caffeinated coffee induces an increase in blood levels of a growth factor called GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor). GCSF is a substance greatly decreased in patients with Alzheimer's disease and demonstrated to improve memory in Alzheimer's mice. A just-completed clinical trial at the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute is investigating GCSF treatment to prevent full-blown Alzheimer's in patients with mild cognitive impairment, a condition preceding the disease. The results of that trial are currently being evaluated and should be known soon.
"Caffeinated coffee provides a natural increase in blood GCSF levels," said USF neuroscientist Dr. Chuanhai Cao, lead author of the study. "The exact way that this occurs is not understood. There is a synergistic interaction between caffeine and some mystery component of coffee that provides this beneficial increase in blood GCSF levels."
Learn: Coffee Talk: How Coffee or Tea Helps Prevent Diabetes
Enriching Coffee and Other Products for Health
The researchers would like to identify this yet unknown component so that coffee and other beverages could be enriched with it to provide long-term protection against Alzheimer's.
Although the present study was performed in Alzheimer's mice, the researchers indicated that they've gathered clinical evidence of caffeine/coffee's ability to protect humans against Alzheimer's and will soon publish those findings.
4 to 5 Cups of Coffee Per Day for Protective Benefits
4 to 5 cups of coffee a day appear necessary to protect against Alzheimer's disease. The USF researchers previously reported this level of coffee/caffeine intake was needed to counteract the brain pathology and memory impairment in Alzheimer's mice. The average American drinks 1½ to 2 cups of coffee a day, considerably less than the amount the researchers believe protects against Alzheimer's.

And learn about research that says Coffee Linked to Reduced Stroke Risk in Women
Start Drinking Coffee By At Least 30s-50s
The researchers believe that moderate daily coffee intake starting at least by middle age (30s – 50s) is optimal for providing benefits to health in the form of protection against Alzheimer's disease, although starting to drink coffee even in older age appears protective from their studies. "We are not saying that daily moderate coffee consumption will completely protect people from getting Alzheimer's disease," Dr. Cao said. "However, we do believe that moderate coffee consumption can appreciably reduce your risk of this dreaded disease or delay its onset."
Conclusion—Coffee is Best Source of Caffeine for Alzheimer's
The researchers conclude that coffee is the best source of caffeine to counteract the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's.
Coffee also contains many ingredients other than caffeine that potentially offer cognitive benefits against Alzheimer's disease. "The average American gets most of their daily antioxidants intake through coffee," Dr. Cao said. "Coffee is high in anti-inflammatory compounds that also may provide protective benefits against Alzheimer's disease."
An increasing body of scientific literature indicates that moderate consumption of coffee decreases the risk of several diseases of aging, including Parkinson's disease, Type II diabetes and stroke. Just within the last few months, new studies have reported that drinking coffee in moderation may also significantly reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancers.
Daily Consumption of Coffee Best Option
"Because Alzheimer's starts in the brain several decades before it is diagnosed, any protective therapy would obviously need to be taken for decades," Dr. Cao said. "We believe moderate daily consumption of caffeinated coffee is the best current option for long-term protection against Alzheimer's memory loss. Coffee is inexpensive, readily available, easily gets into the brain, appears to directly attack the disease process, and has few side-effects for most of us."
According to the researchers, no other Alzheimer's therapy being developed comes close to meeting all these criteria.
"Aside from coffee, two other lifestyle choices — physical and cognitive activity — appear to reduce the risk of dementia. Combining regular physical and mental exercise with moderate coffee consumption would seem to be an excellent multi-faceted approach to reducing risk or delaying Alzheimer's," Dr. Arendash said.

SAN JOSE -- David Fales continues to add to his San Jose State legacy after delivering perhaps the best game of his Spartans' career.
While he is the glue that holds the team together, the Spartans' freshman class continues to shine. For the third straight game, first-year players accounted for three of SJSU's touchdowns in a victory.
In Saturday's 51-44 win over Wyoming, Tim Crawley and Shane Smith had their first career touchdowns and Tyler Winston found the end zone for the third straight game.
"Our young guys, our team, is stepping up and making big plays," SJSU coach Ron Caragher said.
The Spartans freshman class has accounted for nine touchdowns this season, all in victories. Winston has already caught 24 passes for 506 yards and three touchdowns despite not playing the first two games of the year and not getting major playing time until the fourth.
"He's going to be a beast," Fales said of Winston. "It's crazy to see what he's going to do in a couple years. He's got that Noel (Grigsby) instinct. He makes plays. He knows how to feel it and get open and he goes up and fights for the ball."
Jarrod Lawson, a freshman running back, had his third straight big game. This was his biggest, rushing for a career high 128 yards. He has 315 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving in his past three games.
Smith has been an effective fullback who is primarily a blocker. But his first touchdown gave SJSU its first lead of the game at 36-30 in the third quarter.
And while he didn't find the end zone, freshman tight end Billy Freeman had his best game. He caught six passes for 119 yards, including a 33-yard catch on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter that set up the winning score.
All of a sudden the future -- and the present -- looks bright for the Spartans.
"The more guys play in big games in close moments, the more the guys are testing and the more you feel confident in playing them," Caragher said.

James McAvoy refuses to star opposite wife
The due only agreed to star in the upcoming flick The Last Station, because their shots were filmed separately. "We've been offered a hell of a lot of parts playing opposite each other in films and TV and we just turn them down. If you do work together you put yourself up, you make yourself a target and you make your relationship a target and all of that. We're very keen not to do that. But in The Last Station we don''t play opposite each other hardly at all," the Daily Star quoted McAvoy, as saying.
He added: "It was nice to spend those two months together rather than spending those two months apart, while she's off somewhere doing God knows what and I'm off doing God knows what. So it was fine. It was quite easy with this one."

Then there are the paid shills who just want to go on about proof, contrail formation science, etc. The newbies are just naive children... The paid shills are just losers... [/quote] No hard evidence......just your parroting ignorant delusions Can we find one just ONE person killed from your "chemtrails"? How about the "tests" that have been done? It is always mentioned but no data that can be independently verified. [/quote] Child or loser, pal. or both because in your case we get "delusions" and the demand for "hard evidence" in one post... which makes you a naive child loser [/quote] Children usually believe without any hard evidence. Do you have any hard evidence? If you did I am sure you would present it rather than just get all indignant and rant so. [/quote] loser is winning over naive child [/quote] So I guess that is an admission that you and the chemtards are naive children? As I said children will believe with no evidence and you appear to have no hard evidence. [/quote] we're back to loser with the hard evidence thing. BTW there's no hard evidence of life on other planets, that isn't proof that there isn't any. Your abuse of the term evidence is a sign that you don't really inderstand the scientific method. There is anectodal evidence and emprical evidence in lieu of hard evidence. Only a fool ignores the first two in pursuit of proof. Incidentally evidence is not proof. Child or loser, certainly not a seasoned scientist. [/quote] Can you define for us your definition of empirical and anecdotal and tell us please just how either of those forms of evidence weigh in regarding scientific method? [/quote]
Original Message
If you try to discuss Chemtrails with others, you may well find yourself very frustrated. Many do not want to be involved, which is a central problem of having Chemtrails stopped. I'm ever so pleased to say that many are finally beginning to ask what the white lines in the sky really are. As more people get involved in understanding the chemical make-up, we will eventually have them stopped.
Initially, in the late 1990s or perhaps earlier, the Aluminium Oxide portion of Chemtrails was being used to reflect sunlight and help cool our Earth in a project which has come to be known as geo-engineering. Investigators then became curious and began conducting lab tests on air samples.
The following list of ingredients was born:
Aluminum Oxide
Barium Oxide (see recent study here)
Bacteria such as Anthrax and Pneumonia Nine chemicals, including Acetylcholine Chloride
Twenty six heavy metals including Arsenic, Gold, Lead, Mercury, Silver, Uranium and Zinc
Four molds and fungi
Seven viruses
Two cancers
Two vaccines
Two sedatives
E.coli Salmonella
How does HAARP play into all this?
The HAARP array is based just north of Fairbanks, Alaska. For me to go into HAARP would fill volumes, same as the mountain of evidence for the use of Chemtrails. However, the more you read, see, and hear the facts, you will then be more able to decide for yourself what is right. From my research, I believe that HAARP uses the Aluminium in Chemtrails as an electrical wire. If so, this may be why HAARP can travel the world.
Once trails are laid, the Aluminium could be up there for up to two years. Keep laying the trails, and you keep advancing. We now know that HAARP can cause specific earthquakes and we suspect other ailments to Earth. I say "specific" because HAARP scientists have admitted that energy direction is possible. This energy can be guided to where the operators want a quake. The US Navy that runs HAARP have stated that, they will own the weather by 2025. It would appear they are well on their way to accomplishing that goal! I wonder, with all the weird weather we are having, are the HAARP people running practice runs? I believe you will find that Chemtrails are more important to the military than merely sun reflection.
Then there are new diseases like Morgellons.
Again, I will not go into great detail as I want you to get involved to read up on it. It is a huge subject, and a disease that should not have been inflicted on Mankind. The evidence for this horror is mounting, as the links below will demonstrate. It is suspected to be in Chemtrails, and if seen on a person it appears as if worms have invaded just under the skin causing unbearable itching and burning. It is suspected that these worms are in the control of something outside the person, and are perhaps even nano-based. So what are we to believe? That this is another project the military has developed in their 35- to 45-year head start? It is very hard to understand someone developing such a weapon . . . if it is a weapon. But, if it is, it would not be the first time that the military produced a bioweapon. Please read up on Morgellons, as the more informed we are, the easier it will be to eradicate it. Cliff Carnicom's site, as well as Vaccine Liberation Army would be the key places to learn more about Morgellon

Lest we forget
Posted by
Staff Writer
Wednesday, June 1. 2011
Comments (0)
On the last Monday of May every year, the United States of America pauses to remember and honor our soldiers who died in service to this country. It is right and appropriate that we do so. When Congress made the day into a three-day weekend under the National Holiday Act of 1971, many people felt that the day lost its meaning. It became just another day off from work. The celebration of Memorial Day became nonchalant at best. The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) protested that the act undermined the very meaning of the day.
This morning the Weather Channel called this holiday the unofficial kickoff of summer. I wonder if any people headed to the beaches stopped to think what their lives might be like if no one were willing to fight to preserve life as we know it. Probably not. We get too involved in our day-to-day lives to bother with patriotism. Are we teaching it to our children in any way? I wonder.
I grew up in a world trying to recover from World War II, and the nation was quite patriotic. Citizens remembered well. The war was still fresh in their minds. A great surge of patriotism came with 9/11 also. American flags sprouted all across the country from sea to shining sea, but it's been ten years now since this attack on the homeland. Are we forgetting so soon?
Rarely do I long for the good old days of my childhood because those days were not particularly good, but they were indeed different. My father served in the army during World War II, but he married and had a family only after he came back. He refused to leave a widow behind to raise their children. He waited until after the war for a family.
My uncles also wore the olive drab of the army and fought overseas. I do realize that the draft threw them into the military, but they were nonetheless proud to serve. The mentality was different back then, or it seems so to me as I reflect.
I remember Uncle Jack, who served in the Korean War, standing at our door in his uniform. I was absolutely certain he was the most handsome man I'd ever seen in all the years of my life. I solemnly promised to help Mama make cakes for him, a promise I kept faithfully until he returned. I carefully placed every single pecan on every chocolate cake she made for him, and I chose only the unbroken pieces for his cake. I wanted only our best for him.
Today it seems that few remember the meaning of this holiday at all. The actual beginning is hazy. Some say it started with southern women honoring their Confederate dead. Others attribute it to northerners coming together to honor theirs, but it was General John A. Logan who said it was not important at all when Memorial Day was established. It wasn't about division, but reconciliation. It was a day for every one to honor those who gave their all. As national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, he officially proclaimed May 30, 1868 to be the first Memorial Day. On that day flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
We've moved away from this solemn tribute over the years, but a movement is afoot to change that. To help re-educate and remind us of its purpose, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed in December of 2000 to try to rectify the problem. The resolution asks that all Americans stop whatever they are doing at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day "to voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or to listen to 'Taps.'"
It is essential that we remember. Our freedom itself depends on it.

The bright blue waves rhythmically splashed gently against the thick wooden hulls of the ships tied up a dock. The light wind carried the salty brine smell of the ocean and the hot dry temperature of the coast. It was mid-afternoon in the summer, fisherman and merchants were slowly winding down talk of trade and tales, seeking the comfort of food and family within their homes.
On the far side, tied up at dock, sat the Alexandria, it was a large well crafted merchant ship, a dark orange flag with a blazing yellow sun stamped in the center hung above the main mast blowing proudly in the wind. The flag marked it as that of the Tameri guild here in Brishiania, the ship had just recently returned from the tropical islands of the south, bringing with it the smell of spices and new exotic curiosities.
It is here that we will find our beloved successful window-washing sprite. Under the deck of the Alexandria there could be heard the constant sound of commotion and racket.
�ARGHHH!� �DAMN YOU TWINS!� roared a deep raged voice, that emminated from the box. The wooden crate was avalanched under a pile of sacked coconauts and bananas. Two very small huminoid creatures were sprawled along the wooden floor beside the reckage, both were laughing hysterically, rolling from side to side on their backs clutching their stomachs.
A big blood crazed eye looked outside of a small hole in the box �When I get out of this I am going to turn your sprite bones into my personal set of toothpicks!� The male sprite looked up and slowly giggled as he made his way up next to the box �Look sis, I think we caught a rat�, peering inside at the box. �And it is sure a fat bugger�, he backed away and gave a exaggerated wave of his hands �smelsls damn god awful too�
�Who would of thought Daehil that rats would be drawn to whiskey bottles and cheese� piped in the female counterpart. They both looked at each other and started busting out laughing all over again.
The box shifted from side to side as large thuds banged from inside and the increased fury of wings could be heard within the box
The twins, still giggling, flew up together in the air and gave a big high five, curses and more banging could be heard within. �Now don�t go anywhere Maghill sweety until we get back, chuckled Alie. The duo flew out of the storage room in high spirits towards the captains quarters.

When you picture a hardworking window washing sprite, you would paint a image of a small dirty creature in little to no clothing working for scraps or to be a enslaved house farie of sorts. Suffice it to say, Finwe matched none of these characteristics.
Down in the captains quarters of the Alexandria, laid a sprite in brightly rich red and green clothing resembling a miniture size robin hood without the hat. Rich red hair with gold highlights sprouted form his head like a gnome, his jovial face gleaming as he downed another peppermint into his mouth as he basked in the comfort of the rich soft cushion.
�Excellent work cousin�, finwe said as he took the liberty to kick off his shoes, revealing two pairs of satisfied wriggling toes, �I would sleep here over the Mermaids Tail any day�, referring to the local inn right beside the dock.
Amryn stood at the foot of the bed looking annoyed as ever behind his round spectacles �Sir Tameri said we could sleep in the supply closet!� �Not here� waving his arms in the air frantically �Not in the bloody captains room�
�Its fine� said Finwe with a relaxed breath, �no one will know we were ever here�
�You say everything will be fine, right before it all blows up in your face� mumbled Amryn. Amryn did not share his cousins enthusiasum for excitement, his personality matched his exterior, with a dark purple tunic, sweaty hands, and dark raven oiled hair. He turned away from Finwe�s amused gaze and began hovering around nervously, not knowing what to do.
�How many jobs to do we have left� said Finwe as he began unwrapping his fourth peppermint from the silver bowl on top of the pillow
Amryn reached into his tunic and produced a small list from his pocket. He moved his spectacles closer up to his nose as he began to read � We have most of the North and northeast side done� �I�d say� as he skimmed down �we have around sixty more jobs to go give or take a couple� �We should be out of hear by�damn we have Veronica�s house tommoro�
Finwe gave a sour face as he heard the name, �I thought we had all decided that we wouldn�t schedule that old hag ever again�
�It�s the mayor�s house� piped in Amryn �Not doing their house would be bad for business and what wrong with Veronica?� �I thought you liked her�
�Its not her I don�t like, its those furry deamons from hell that I despise�
�O, right the cats, I almost forgot�
�Seven Amryn�, �Seven!� �That one she called angel almost took my wing off�
Amryn chuckled, he didn�t laugh much, which brightened Finwe�s mood as he heard his cousin laugh.
Amryn stuffed the partchment of names inside his tunic then briskly pulled out a small sprite sized pocketwatch, �Dear�Dear! Im scheduled to meet the Count of Varyn at his house tonight.. and Im already 2 mins late!�
He flew to the door then stopped suddenly staring back at Finwe, �Don�t!�
Finwe gave a innocent a innocent smile �Don�t?�
�Just don�t� and with that, Amryn flew out the door and into the nights air.

Finwe tapped his fingers steadily on the hard oak desk, the peppermint bowl was about empty at this point
Anytime now, he was expecting someone, someone who had word from another certain someone, that someone being someone that controlled the entire world of Sylvam, though that someone didn't show his influences to the naked eye, Finwe didn't have a naked eye per say though, sprite eyes are very sharp and they usually pick up things the average individual wouldn't notice or see, like I said, he was expecting someone to bring word of the certain someone that Finwe was employed to, and he was expected this someone at any minute now

A massive paper spider crawled underneath the door of leading into the captains quarters. It made its way towards Finwe, stopped at the sprites feet and froze looseing all of it's enchantment.

The sprite hovered down to the ground
Grabbing the large note with both hands, "About time" he used his window squeege as a makeshift envelope opener, intrigued he began to read

The Note Read
I have a job for you, meet my contact at Treds High Quality Goods in Notnuats. They will give you instructions as well as half of your commission."
The note is not signed and the print is very neat almost as if it were written by a being without emotion.

Just after reading, Finwe's ears perked up as he heard a loud commotion downstairs
Many boxes and shelves could be heard crashing to the floor, the sound was getting louder and closer by the second, he took a step back, not knowing what was going to come through those doors
"IT WAS A JOKE!" "Eeeekkk!", the two twins came crashing through the double doors, spinning out of control in the air, right behind them was a turnip red sprite called Maghill "YOU"RE BOTH DEAD"
The room became a war zone within a few seconds, anything that could fall or break did
Finwe stood in the center of the room, this was a common occurence around them
"Good Help is so hard to come by today"
When paper stopped falling from the air, Maghill could be seen holding a sprite in each arm "Each of you are about to meet my friend Mr. Fist and Mr. Knuckle"
The two twins were arguing amongst themselves "It was Alie's idea Maghill" said Daehill "Thats a lie, you told me to do it"
"What did they do this time Maghill" said Finwe wearily
"They trapped me in a box they did and tried to feed me cheese they did" eyeing each one
The twins couldn't help but start to laugh, remebering in their heads
"Shut up you two"
"A Box?" "Cheese?" "your not saying you were captured by a few adolescent sprites are you Maghill" said Finwe
"Well....no... we..not capture...per say...um" said Maghill stumbling for words "because the great Maghill could never be defeated" said Finwe
"Of course not....I... I let then trap me, played a long you see" "O that was very nice of you, then I can see no reason for you to punish them, if you as you say were playing along'
Maghill gave a nasty look to each of the sprites in his hand, dropping them to the floor, they of course were still laughing
"I just got word from the Rogue King" "We are to make to Treds Quality goods in Notnauts"
Everyone was excited, "only Finwe and Amryn actually took pleasure washing windows"
"We leave now, we can pick up Amryn on the way"
"Won't the captain be mad if we leave the ship in this condition', said Maghill nervously
'We shall just blame this whole disaster on Amryn" "All in Favor" "Aye" "Aye" "Aye"
"Excellent, I just have to grab something before we depart" he looked up to the glass peppermint bowl "There was one Peppermint left, my peppermint" his tone becoming angry
The other three sprites faces that were smiling quickly turned one to dread
"We are not leaving this ship, till I GET MY PEPPERMINT"

Legal Services Sector Job Numbers Are Down in 2014
The legal services sector shed 1,200 jobs in April, the steepest one-month dip in employment numbers in five months, according to the U.S. Labor Department's latest monthly report.
The total number of legal jobs now stands at 1,136,400, a preliminary and seasonally adjusted figure.
There were 700 more jobs in April compared to the same time last year, but the figure is 43,600 short of the 10-year high of 1,180,000 set in May 2007. There were 300 fewer jobs in April than in January.
The rest of the national economy fared better, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 288,000 in April, the Labor Department said Friday. That marked the best month of job creation since January 2012 and the second-best month since the economy emerged from recession in mid-2009.

Lord Jim
by Joseph Conrad
Lord Jim Chapter 12 Summary
- Resuming his story, Jim tells us that the men in the lifeboat were rescued by the Avondale.
- But of course before we can settle in to the story again, Marlow breaks in with his own information on the Patna and how the news of it broke. He seems to have something against telling stories in chronological order.
- We jump forward in time to Marlow's conversation with a French lieutenant, who was serving aboard the vessel that rescued the Patna.
- The two meet up in Sydney, and Marlow learns from the lieutenant that his French gunboat towed the Patna to safety.
- The French lieutenant recalls being bored during much of this, though he and his crew were very interested in the dead body they found (George).

The private, not-for-profit home health service provider is conducting its first mystery dinner and silent auction beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the National Guard Armory in Sikeston.
"People are so busy now days. They need something they can relax at, be entertained and be out of the ordinary without having to go out of town to have that moment," said director Terry Jones.
"I'm Getting Murdered in the Morning" is the mystery comedy that Hospice volunteers and staff have been rehearsing for the past couple months under Jones, who has directed two other murder mystery dinners in Sikeston and is a member of Sikeston Little Theater. Co-director Carrie Yanson is also of the Little Theater.
"Everyone has been to a wedding reception, but have you ever been to one where someone's been shot and the celebration goes on?" Jones asked.
It's going to be really interesting, said Helen Sander, a registered nurse and SEMO VNA Hospice coordinator.
"The program takes place at a wedding reception, and one of guests is killed on the dance floor. The mystery centers around who did it and why, and the bride is trying to save her wedding day," said Sander, adding Hospice staff and volunteers wanted to raise money for Hospice and came up with the idea to put on a murder mystery dinner.
The audience will be caught up in the search for a killer as they are given clues needed to identify and capture the him or her, Sander said.
"Everyone will get a chance to figure out who the killer is, but we won't put anybody on the spot," said registered nurse Diane Chappell, SEMO VNA Hospice director.
Jones said rehearsals with the cast of 12 to 15 -- comprised of mostly Hospice staff and volunteers -- are going well.
"We have a truly fresh cast," Jones said. "We have only one person who has any acting experience, which makes it interesting. It's always interesting to see someone stepping outside of their comfort zone."
Jones said the main difference in working with an inexperienced cast over an experienced one is having to explain some of the theatrical terminology. "But it's worked out very well," Jones said.
First-time actor Chappell agreed. "I'm having a ball," Chappell said. "... I've been telling people, 'I just know I'm going to be discovered.'"
For Chappell the decision to participate in the program as a first-time actor wasn't a hard one to make.
"Hospice is my passion," Chappell said. "If it means that we make more money to help other people, it wasn't a hard decision (to act). Anything to make people's end-of-life better, I will do."
It appears everyone is very talented, Chappell said of her acting peers. She's also noticed actors getting into their roles.
"At first, when we were reading our parts, we were more reserved about it. As time has gone on, we've gotten funnier and more free with it and how we interpret it," said Chappell, who plays the mother of the bride.
Chappell said Little Theater members are helping with the production, and without them, Hospice wouldn't be able to put on the fundraiser.
"It's nice to involve several groups to put this production on, and hopefully, we'll make a bunch of money for charity -- that's what we're there for," Jones said.
VNA Hospice serves 14 Southeast Missouri counties including Scott, New Madrid, Mississippi and Stoddard.
Hospice provides care for people who are in their last six months of an illness and supports the family. Then after the patient dies, the family receives support for the next year.
Throughout the year, Hospice stays in contact with family members to see if there are any unusual signs of grieving. Except for receiving partial pay from Medicare and Medicaid, Hospice isn't reimbursed for that care, Sander said. For years VNA has received donations from its patients' family and friends, Sander said.
"They've been very supportive. It's just that we are getting more patients and many don't have any insurance at all. This will give us the money we need, hopefully, to be able to say, 'Yes' when someone says, 'I need you,'" Sander said.
The dinner menu will include a choice of rib-eye steak, grilled chicken breast or vegetable lasagna provided by Zeigler's Catering. Cheers Bar and Grill will host a cash bar.
A program book will be available for each guest in the audience to keep track of the clues. Patrons, sponsors and ads are part of the book.
"Hopefully, the book will make it easier for everyone, and it also gives credit to our supporters," Sander said.
Doors will open at 5 p.m. for an opportunity to view and bid on silent auction items. Auction items include St. Louis Cardinals game tickets, tickets to "The Wedding Singer" at Fox Theatre in St. Louis, a charcoal grill and other smaller and larger items.
"We want it to be a fun evening but also something people will remember and want to come back to again and again in the future," Chappell said. "We want to make sure it's a good thing, and we think it will be."
Tickets are $50 each with $25 paying for dinner and the show with the remainder supporting VNA. Tickets are available now at the VNA office and at Collins Music in Sikeston or by calling (573) 471-0520. Last-minute ticket purchases may be made by calling 717-0631.

As we are modifying a component which carries power to our system, it is VERY important to use common sense and be very careful. If you are not comfortable or well knowledgeable enough playing with your power supply, I would suggest attempting to sleeve a fan first. Fans are really quick and simple, and I will demonstrate how to sleeve them later in this guide.
Most of the tools needed for sleeving can be substituted for a DIY version of the store bought counterpart saving some money. Lastly I would highly recommend making sure you are comfortable and have a clean well lit work area when sleeving. Comfort is a factor since once you start, you tend to spend a few hours just hammering away - personally I like to sit on my couch and catch up on a few podcasts.
Try to keep your work area clean especially when using Paracord, there is nothing worse than applying some light coloured sleeve only to find a big greasy smudge all over your hard work.
Sleeve Tool Kit vs. DIY
Modder's Tool Kits are becoming a more common place product on today's market with numerous companies catching the sleeving bug. Most kits usually consist of different pieces for removing the various types of PSU and component plugs. Like most tools though there are some sneaky alternatives.
Basically all of the cables pins we need to remove are a clip design usually meaning that two clips need to be pushed inwards to remove the pin. A range of things can be used for triggering these clips. I have used different parts of a pen for removing round male and female 4-pin Molex plugs. A pair of safety pins, a skinny paperclip or even a folded staple will do the same job as its store equivalent. Have a dig around in your tool box and see what you can come up with.
For taking apart your non-modular (hardwired) power supply if you decide to void your warranty - more on this later.
Tape Measure
A must have for sleeving especially for modular (removable cables) and semi-modular power supplies where accuracy is king. I got sick of always losing my tape measure in my pile of sleeve so I marked out a permanent ruler across my bench top.
Sharp Things
One of the most crucial elements of getting a great finish for your sleeving job is clean cuts, so it's essential to use sharp cutting instruments. A Stanley or X-Acto knife are a must have, as well as a good pair of scissors.
Heat Gun, Hairdryer or Lighter
Heat shrink needs a good dose of heat to do its job. I like using a heat gun for controlled heat although a girlfriend's hairdryer or a lighter will also do the trick. Note - be careful with the lighter option as it's very easy to melt or damage your sleeve with.
Tape has a variety of uses during the sleeving process. I like to have clear thin sticky tape for covering pointy pins as well as a range of different coloured electrical tape for marking out wires.
Tip - A good cheap sleeving surface can be made from a piece of wood half covered with soft material for the unit to sit on without being damaged. You can also lay sleeved cables here to keep them clean, while being able to cut heat shrink and cable ties on the exposed wood end.

Hi guys,
Probably too low end for much experience here with you guys, but I am
buying my girlfriend a Z22 to see if she can keep her stuff together.
Obviously paper notes are NOT doing the trick. LOL
What's battery life like with the Z22?
I'd really like to find an older B&W screen Palm-something, just not a
used one. Yeah, I know, fat chance. Remember those halcyon days of 2
alkaline batteries lasting 4 months? <sigh> Progress.

Boston Archbishop Sean O'Malley is calling for an end to prejudice against gays.
In a letter sent to the nearly 300 parishes in the Boston Archdiocese, O'Malley says he doesn't want gays to feel like the church discriminates against them despite its opposition to same-sex marriage. O'Malley says the church's opposition to gay marriage is not based on hostility toward homosexuals but on the conviction that marriage between a man and a woman is important for children and society.
O'Malley says many homosexuals in the church lead holy lives. But a policy to be announced by the Vatican next week reportedly will tighten rules excluding them from the priesthood.

Cowl Neck Top in Sheer Viscose
When scanning my syllabus at the start of the pattern making course I took last semester, I was most excited about learning how to draft cowl neck tops. When we finally got to it toward the end of the course, I was surprised how simple they actually were! Using a basic bodice sloper, it's just a matter of lowering the neckline and slash and spreading to create fullness. The self-facing in the front keeps it pretty no matter how the cowl falls! Clearly, putting my new knowledge to use was in the forefront of my mind when I had the opportunity to use one of the fabrics from the Novelty category at Britex. This unusual ruby and black sheer viscose fabric seemed like a fun and modern choice for a fairly classic cowl shape.
This fabric isn't an obvious choice for a cowl shape; while lightweight, it isn't particularly drapey, behaving a bit like voile. Nor could I cut on the bias (common for cowls) because of the obvious horizontal stripe. However, I really love how the neckline is more "origami folds" than draped, giving it an "edgy" feel.
The viscose is sheer–in these photos, I'm wearing a nude-colored tank top under this for modesty, but for cocktails or dancing, it would probably be fine without.
The self-drafted top is a basic pull over shape, with no closures or darts. It isn't as fitted as I normally like my tops, but it's light and airy (especially with the sheer fabric!) and adds a different silhouette to my wardrobe. There is a back neck facing, which attaches to the front cowl facing and bias tape for the armholes–simple and elegant!
Here's the exciting part: I've been learning and practicing my digital drafting and grading skills and I'm nearly finished with a multi-sized (S-M-L) pattern of this cowl-neck top as a free download! Look for it next week here on the Britex blog or at Nicole at Home!
Thank you to Britex for providing this great fabric–what fun to try something completely new!

MINER -- Miner will join Sikeston on a project to stripe Ables Road.
Mayor Betty Barnes advised the Miner Board of Aldermen during their regular meeting Tuesday that the city received a letter from Doug Friend, city manager of Sikeston, regarding the project.
"It does not have a shoulder on that road and it is dangerous," Barnes said.
Miner's share of the $8,200 project, which will put border stripes and a centerline stripe on the road using reflective paint from S. Ingram to Highway AA, will be $1,200.
Alderman Justin Medley agreed this "good neighbor" project would be good for residents of Miner and Sikeston.
"It's worse when it's raining," Peggy Holman, board member, said of Ables. "It's really bad."
In other business during Tuesday's meeting:
* A decision on purchasing a gate for the water treatment plant's fence was tabled to allow city personnel to gather information on what type of gate would work best.
Dub Higden of the Department of Public Works explained the 28-foot opening requires a very large gate that will sag over time and require two people to operate.
"That's a big gate," Higden said. "You're going to have trouble with it."
Hinged gates, he explained, are not an option due to the slope on the inward side and being too close to the street.
* A decision on a bill prohibiting heavy trucks on Miner's residential streets was tabled to give Barnes some time to research the ordinance and the need to control heavy trucks in residential areas.
"I had a couple of complaints in my neighborhood about big trucks," Medley said.
He noted the ordinance currently in effect in Miner has a short list of specific streets.
Medley also noted that heavy trucks are "rough on city streets."
"I just want to make sure it's done right," Barnes said in explaining her reluctance to take action right away.

Watch: Shark Night 3D Experience
- Save
No matter how many times we've heard it, the Jaws theme song never fails to terrify straight to the core. Two simple musical notes equate to total terror. The chilling tune has left a mark on our culture, all thanks to the movie's representation of sharks attacking viciously in the deep blue waters. If you are a San Diego ocean swimmer, you've undoubtedly had the scenes flash through your mind multiple times. The effortless ability for sharks to tear a human apart in one bite and smell their fear miles away is enough to keep us swimming with caution even decades later.
This same cinematic experience gets reinvented in the all-new Shark Night 3D, a film set to release September 2. Relativity Media is bringing San Diego a special release experience for 2011 Comic-Con attendees to get shark-attacked before anyone else in the world. From Thursday July 21 to Sunday July 24, terror-lovers are invited to Petco Park for four days of exclusive movie previewing.
Shark Night 3D's main star, a man-eating, interactive mechanical shark, will be available for photo opps with any brave fan. You'll get a photo print-out along with immediate uploads to your Facebook and Twitter. Aside from the eat-you-alive show-stopping shark, you'll recognize Hollywood stars in the film including Sara Paxton from the Sleepover and Superhero Movie, Katharine McPhee from The House Bunny, Dustin Milliganof Final Destination 3 andChris Carmackfrom The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations.
The movie tells the story of seven college friends who spend a weekend at a lake house in Louisiana's Gulf area. Their lighthearted vacation takes a turn for the worst when the shark attacks begin, devouring the innocent part-people. Confused on the origins of the creatures in the freshwater lakes, the team discovers that the sharks are part of a greedy plan on the part of several locals.
Written by Will Hayes and Jesse Studenberg, and directed by Final Destination's David Ellis, the 3D film produces realistic shark attacks to put you right in the center of the action. Get your feet wet and dive into the deep blue Thursday through Sunday, July 21 to the 24 in the Petco Park D1/D2 Parking Lot. Watch the trailer for the film here, and brace yourself for what lurks below. Stay tuned: the summer 2011 film will be terrorizing waters near you; RSVP now, on their Facebook page.

What to say about this except it is absolutely beautiful !!! It is the best place I've been in Australia with the Horizontal falls Broome by far !!
Whitehaven beach is considered as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and I AGREE : The best beach I've seen in my life !! An amazing white sand, turquoise water, a sensation of serenity and the feeling of being in holiday and out of everything, thank also to the unbelievable surrounding landscape.
This is the best spot of the East cost.
Great trip, plenty of time at both whitehaven and Hamilton. Boat and all staff were fantastic!
Very good trip. Especially as the boat went all round the Whitsunday Islands. We loved it.
Amazing! The most perfect beach ever, service was great!
A great day out with excellent sea craft and crews. Whitehaven Beach a special place to see and enough time to enjoy it. Hamilton Island delightful, again with time available to enjoy and a decent lunch provided.
Susan W Australia
Fantastic...Wonderful fun filled unforgettable Day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Hamilton Island and Whitehaven Beach. Not really beening a beach person, we spent enough time there, swimming and relaxing. The time at Hamilton Island was great! Even having been there before on several occasions, the day trip was not rushed. Very enjoyable day and worth it. Much more than we expected when we booked.
saz United Kingdom
Great day out. Just enough time on Hamilton island and Whitehaven beach. Took the opportunity to hire a golf buggy on Hamilton Island which was a great way to get around and see as much as possible in the time there. Could have stayed longer on Whitehaven beach but who wouldn't want to in such a beautiful place. Good value for money and excellent lunch provided.
Gordon H Australia
We had a wonderful day visiting Hamilton Island and then onto Whitehaven Beach. The crew are extremely helpful and friendly and the BBQ lunch was yummy!
Jack D Australia
What a beautiful part of the world. Next time I will sail it.
David C United Kingdom
A very good day and good value for money. The tour was very well run.
John Wang China
We stayed for so long in the cruise instead of either Hamilton Island or WhiteHaven Beach. Since we departed from the Airlie Beach, they have to pick up ppl from Hamilton Island and Daydream Island which took like 5-6 hours in total. A bit disappointed about the schedule but but Whitehaven and Hamilton Island are beautiful.
This tour was amazing!
It would have been nice if we traveled to the islands directly instead of having to stop at Daydream on the way there and back.
To start with the young men controlling the group were decent and pretty helpful. It was a sunny day and the White haven beach was hot. This beach looked pretty and large and anybody willing to swim would like it. A lot of us were skeptical lest we come across stinging jellyfish or sting ray or worse a shark. In fact we found a sting ray quietly settled not too far from our feet. The highlight was the dinner at the Manta Ray Cafe on Hamilton Island where the food and the atmosphere were quite pleasant except the presence of noisy cockatoos and even some crows since most of us ate outdoor. The free bus ride on this island was spectacular. Some of us hired the little battery operated carriages.Overall everyone of us enjoyed the trip.
Good trip and wonderfull beach. Too bad to be far away from the lagoon at whiteheaven.
From the time we were picked up by the courtesy bus to the end of the day everything went smoothly and trouble free. The trip to Whitehaven Beach was very enjoyable although a bit rocky in some parts, we took cover in the captains cabin as guests are most welcome. Whitehaven beach is very enjoyable and the 2 hours ashore quickly passed. Lunch and sightseeing at Hamilton Island was very enjoyable and relaxing, overall the day was well worth the cost.
Sharyn-Maree B Australia
We had a great day on this tour. Would have loved to spend more time at Hamilton Island but getting to Whitehaven was absolutely beautiful.
Trevor H United Kingdom
Had fantastic day out. Transfer bus to Shute Harbour picked us at time stated. Trip was excellent. Plenty of time in Hamilton Island and Whitehaven Beach. BBQ really good Would recommend
Gemma C United Kingdom
Fantastic day trip, you get plenty of free time on both islands to do your own thing, you get pm teacoffeebiscuits, free brekkie which was great, the buffet dinner was fantastic! Staff were friendly and helpful. The islands themselves are amazing! Whitehaven beach is stunning, they provide you with drinks on the beach for a fee and free iems such as sun shields, balls, bats, suncream, free cold water, was a great day!
Israel R Australia
Amazing atmosphere, beautiful white beach, and it was amazing to see the islands. Good food served.
Baron R USA
Nice tour, and very relaxing. Crew very friendly and helpful at all times.
This isn't a tour but buys a few tickets on ferries to get to the various places where you have free time at both locations. There wasn't much info available when we got to Hamilton but ask at the kiosk when you arrive for a map and definitely hire the golf buggies - we'd have been bored if we didn't hire them as you get several hours on Hamilton which seemed a bit too long. Lunch wasn't a boxed lunch but was at a tavern in Hamilton where you could choose any main on the menu which was good - drinks were not included though.
This was a pretty good deal. Both islands were very nice, but probably could have spent less time on Hamilton island because there was not that much to do. Would have liked to have spent more time on Whitehaven Beach which was beautiful. A very enjoyable tour overall though.
We unfortunately had very rough seas getting to and from Whitehaven Beach, I would suggest people postpone the trip if there are high winds forecast as many people onboard were using sick bags, it's not what you think of when you think Whitsundays cruising. I believe the whole trip, even in calm weather, is more a commuter ferry trip than a 'cruise', stopping at Daydream Island, Hamilton, then up to Whitehaven, then the long way back to Daydream before finally reaching Hamilton. We calculated we had been on the ferry for over 4.5 hours, and the beach for only 1.5 hours before we finally got to Hamilton. Hamilton was great it was just the boat trip that was not what we expected. The word cruise conjures up a relaxing boat ride with lounging outside, the 'workhorse' catamarans they use are not really set up for that purpose.

AbstractToday there is an increasing demand for biomass for use in energy production. In this study we investigated stumps and roots from six poplar (Populus sp.) stands growing on former farmland in Sweden, situated between latitudes 55 and 60°N. The mean age of the poplar was 20 years (range 16–23), the mean stand density 1151 stems ha−1 (range 361–3279), and the mean diameter at breast height (over bark) 288 mm (range 81–574). All poplar stands were on clay soils (light and medium clay and light clay tills).The mean dry mass weight of the 72 excavated stumps was 45 ± 39 kg (range 1–185), with the roots ≥ 50 mm weighing 14 ± 16 kg (range 0.2–87). Dry mean stump weight represented 21% (by dry weight) of the stem. The mean total dry weight per hectare for stumps amounted to 34.9 ± 21.8 (range 12.9–66.9) tons and the equivalent value for roots was 12.0 ± 9.6 (range 4.7–10.9) tons. The excavation of below-ground biomass can either focus on the stump or the stump and parts of the root system. Depending on the combination of soil type and soil moisture the weight of soil adhering to stumps and the cleaning requirements will vary.

On three of my WordPress blogs (version 2.1.2) a spammer has erased my posts and replaced with spam that is set to "no display" with CSS.
I have backups generated by Austin Matzko's 'WordPress Database Backup' plugin, but I don't know how to use them. I tried to "import" and it didn't work.
How can I prevent this from happening again? How can I restore my posts? I have set all the missing posts to "draft".
I'm sure others are having this problem; I couldn't be the only one. Any insight on how a spammer can delete my posts and replace with spam?

Technical Abstract: Infrared spectra were calculated for the low energy geometry optimized structures of glucose and all of its epimers, at B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. Calculations were performed both in vacuo and using the COSMO solvation method. Frequencies, zero point energies, enthalpies, entropies, and relative energies are reported at the harmonic level of theory. Both alpha and beta anomers were examined for each epimer, with all possible combinations of hydroxymethyl rotamers (gg,gt, or tg) and hydroxyl orientation (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Specific vibrational frequency ranges have been identified as fingerprint regions for the epimers. A comparison of the frequency shifts in the calculated infrared spectra between the vacuum structures and solvated (COSMO) structures will be presented. In addition, the variance in the infrared spectra between epimers will be discussed. Comparison is made to recent spectroscopic experiments on glucose and its epimers.

Lebanon issues arrest warrant for Syrian army defector
A Lebanese judge issued Thursday an arrest warrant for a defected Syrian officer after he confessed to planning to form a rebel brigade in the north of the country to fight President Bashar Assad's forces.
Military Investigative Judge Fadi Sawwan issued the warrant against Col. Mohammad Ahmad Amer following a thorough interrogation, a judicial source told The Daily Star.
While in custody, the defected officer confessed to working with rebels from the Free Syrian Army in Turkey to establish a military brigade in Tripoli, north Lebanon, to fight troops loyal to Assad in Syria, the source said.
Amer, according to the source, had defected from the Syrian Army and fled to Tripoli with his family.
He was arrested last month for possession of weapons and explosives.
A compact disk and a USB device confiscated from the colonel's home in Tripoli contained information, maps and military strategies, the source added.
Sawwan, the source said, referred the case to the military prosecutor to give his recommendation.
