Mr. China's Son by He Liyi
Book DescriptionHe Liyi belongs to one of China's minorities, the Bai, and he lives in a remote area of northwestern Yunnan Province. In 1979, his wife sold her fattest pig to buy him a shortwave radio. He spent every spare moment listening to the BBC and VOA in order to improve the English he had learned at college between 1950 and 1953. For "further practice," he decided to write down his life story in English. Humorous and unfiltered by translation, his autobiography is direct and personal, full of richly descriptive images and phrases from his native Bai language.At the time of He Liyi's graduation, English was being vilified as the language of the imperialists, so the job he was assigned had nothing to do with his education. In 1958, he was labeled a rightist and sent to a "reeducation-through-labor farm." Spirited away by truck on the eve of his marriage, Mr. He spent years in the labor camp, where he schemed to garner favor from the authorities, who nevertheless shamed him publicly and told him that all his problems "belong to contradictions between the people and the enemy." After his release in 1962, the talented Mr. He had no choice but to return to his native village as a peasant. His stratagems for survival, which included stealing "nightsoil" from public toilets and extracting peach-pit oil from thousands of peaches, personify the peasant's universal struggle to endure those difficult years.He Liyi's autobiography recounts nearly all the major events of China's recent history, including the Japanese occupation, the Communist victory over the Nationalists in 1949, Mao's disastrous Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, the experience of labor camps, changes brought about by China's dramatic re-opening to the world after Deng Xiaoping came to power in 1978, and the recent social and economic changes occurring in the post-Deng China. No other book so poignantly reveals the travails of the common person and village life under china's tempestuous Communist government, which He Liyi ironically refers to as "Mr. China." Yet he describes his saga of poverty and hardship with humor and a surprising lack of bitterness. And rarely has there been such an intimate, frank view of how a Chinese man thinks and feels about personal relationships, revealed in dialogue and letters to his two wives.He Liyi's autobiography stands as perhaps the most readable and authentic account available in English of life in rural China.

Bouldering in Chatru should be on one's bucket list. Located high up in the Himalayas, it is a paradise for climbers. Discovered in year 2000 by a British climber named Pil Lockey, this climbing arena has gained eminence over a decade. Not only is this place a heaven for climbers but also a retreat for non-climbers as well who just want to cut off from the world of technology and worries. A plethora of granite boulders are present to satiate boulderers' climbing fetish. Ranging form 5 to 8 grade routes are present between the area of Chotadhara and Chatru. The area has been such excellently explored that, Pil even made toposheets to describe the rocks and routes. One such guidebook containing the toposheets is available with Lal Singh Rawat (the local host who has been running a Dhabha since 1985 at such a high altitude).
Bouldering in Chatru is as exciting as Hampi bouldering, specially due to the quality of rock. If you are super motivated for climbing, you do not need any mountaineering or climbing courses per se. Just reach here and everything will fall in place.
This video brings out a perspective of both climbers and non climbers alike for this place and shows how pertinent it is to visit and see this place at least once. Every year people from around the globe come to Chatru to climb, meditate and let go off their worries. Situated on the banks of a river in Spiti valley, this moonscape exists in another realm where peace is a denominating element. The area has beautiful summits and passes which are close by and are at a day's walk. So even if one doesn't wish to climb, he/she can bask in the natural beauty of the landscape.

I have lived in Sarasota since 1997 and I will be here until the end. I love SARASOTA! I am a Florida native, born and raised in Miami. I own a healthcare business here in Sarasota for the past 16 years. I lived at the magnolia house for 10 years and now I am offering it to travelers so they can experience the best Sarasota has to offer.
Christina Captain purchased this house in 1999
Clean, Quiet, Functional, Romantic, Close to EVERYTHING!
Location, location, location.
I love my house! I enjoyed it from 1999 to 2010.
Then I rented it as an annual for 3 years and then decided that I wanted to offer it as a vacation rental. I am a business owner here and believe that Sarasota is quite possibly the most wonderful place in the world to live. I want you to enjoy Magnolia Street as much as I did and love Sarasota as much as I do!
We stayed for 6 weeks...it's a great home away from home. Close to multiple restaurants, coffee shops, publix and Trader joes. Nice neighborhood, met a few neighbors. If you want sun you can sit in the front yard, if you have sunburn from a day at the beach the fenced in backyard has many trees for shade. We already rented again for next year.
My 87 year old mother and I stayed here for 4 days while visiting Sarasota this winter. The house was well equipped and we were thankful for a great heating/ac system as it was quite cold! The owner has thought of most everything and we were easily able to cook our meals there. We were a short drive to a great gourmet grocers and downtown was super easy to get to as well. I imagine the house is awesome in summer too as the backyard is very shady and private, but it was too cool for us this visit. Very clean and comfortable, for 2 separate adults, or for a small family. The neighborhood is sweet and fun to walk around in too.
I rented this home for a friend of mine and it was perfect. The location is awesome, within walking distance to shops and restaurants and Southgate mall. Only a short drive to world class beaches.
The bungalow was cozy and equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The backyard is fully fenced and private and a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.
Will rent again.
Great location for this perfect house. It had everything that we needed, and was very well maintained. I enjoyed spending time on the back enclosed porch enjoying the beautiful yard. We were able to walk just about 7 blocks to a nice area with shops and good restaurants. The mall is also less than a 5 minute walk. Downtown Sarasota is a 5 minute drive as well. Christina greeted us with a bottle of wine and some delicious candy. She arrived when we got there and showed us all around the house and gave us helpful vacation information.
Thank you, Christina, for a nice January in your Magnolia Street home. We found that it was exactly as advertised; very clean, & equipped with everything we needed. We especially liked the fenced in back yard & the "garden of Eden" patio. We found that it is within walking distance of many things such as cafe's, grocery store &. postoffice. We would recommend it to others as a perfect place to vacation.
Bungalow on Magnolia was the perfect destination to spend a pleasant week. Upon entering
the door we were presented with a wonderful "Home Away". And we were to find out how close
places were to the house and in walking distance if we so desired. We did shop and eat in several of them. Publix is very close by and eating at the Oasis, and The Bonefish Grill. The house had all we needed to keep us satisfied for the length of our stay. And eating in was no problem with everything needed for cooking and eating.
The bed was so comfy and restful sleep came in no time sat all.
The back yard was lovely. Had never seen bamboo growing in so many clumps and in the sizes of the bamboo. Interesting.
Sad to have the week come to an end, but all good things must come to an end and it did.
But hopefully we may make it back to your lovely home.
Location, location, location! Enjoy the 'flower streets' of this quaint west of the trail neighborhood. Within walking distance is the Westfield mall, Cinebistro, Fleming's, Publix and many wonderful restaurants and bars. Minutes from downtown and famous Selby Gardens. Only 2 miles from the #1 beach in the US, Siesta Key Beach.
Bring your sunscreen and wine opener this is a vacation to remember.

ClientBranch & Associates, Inc.
BackgroundExpedition Station is a residential condominium located in an extreme mountain top environment. It was constructed from wood-framed premanufactured modules stacked on top of a steel and concrete base. It is clad with fiber cement siding nailed over a weather-resistant barrier on oriented strand board (OSB) sheathing. The building's windows are vinyl double-hung units that are often ganged into double or triple configurations.
SolutionAfter reviewing design documents, WJE engineers conducted infrared thermal scanning of the walls to locate wet areas and performed water leakage testing of windows and surrounding cladding. The engineers also inspected and documented as-built conditions at probe openings.
WJE determined—through water leakage testing—that the vinyl windows were not thermally welded where the jamb meets the sill, providing a water pathway into the building. They also found that the lack of end dams in the flashing contributed to deterioration of fiber cement siding. As part of the repair and rehabilitation phase of the project, all double-hung windows were replaced in the building, and WJE assisted the contractor in coordinating window installation; siding replacement; insertion of new end dams; sill flashings; and weather-resistant barrier tapes with the extant wall system. End dams in metal siding trim were also added to prevent deterioration of adjacent fiber cement siding.

Bought this last fall and finally was able to attach these lines to my primary tent just last week. If you are like me, I was always tripping over my tent lines. This rope works like a charm! No more tripping and getting tangled in the tent lines. I added these lines to my tent instead of taking off the original lines - all the better reinforcement for windy conditions.Just wish the lines were 10 or 12 ft long instead of 8. The little gizmo used to tighten the line works very well also. Just make sure you keep one from the package when you attach the first one so you can copy the pattern (the package also has a diagram. One other note, there must be some type of light source in order for the reflective property to work. I highly recommend this product.
I bought these after a night of Cub Scouts tripping over tent lines and nearly taking my tent down. I was searching for reflective line and found it packaged with the figure 9s. Now it is easy to spot the lines at night and makes finding the tent after a trip in the woods a lot easier. My only complaint? Sell them in a six-pack instead of four!

Lads send bemused commuters into hysterics after taking over Tannoy at busy station
Jeroen and Pepijn from Lifehunters.tv began live-narrating the movements of confused travellers as they left a train station
Bemused commuters were left in hysterics after two jokers took over a Tannoy at a busy train station. Jeroen and Pepijn from Lifehunters.tv began live-narrating the confused travellers movements as they left s-Hertogenbosch station in the Netherlands .
With a little help from their friend Quita – the pair began targeting people as they made their way out the station.
Speaking to the camera before the prank, Jeroen asks: "What would it be like if you had a real-life voice-over commenting on everything you do?"
Their first 'victim' – a man named Lars is walking along with his girlfriend when over the loud-speaker system Pepijn says: "Lars yesterday you were also here with a beautiful woman.
"But not the lady who's walking you you now. What is going Lars – Is this another woman? Lars just admit it." The couple seem to take it all as a joke though, and they are seen walking away laughing. via – mirror.co.uk

Short-Term Effect of Capping on Microbial Communities in Freshwater Sediments
Abstract:Because biogas bubbles can influence cap integrity, the effect of capping and cap material on the ebullition potential in sediments must be studied. The goal of this comprehensive study was to determine the short-term effect of capping regime on the activity, metabolic potential, and community structure of sediment microorganisms. To evaluate the effect of capping (sand, synthetic aggregate, and no cap) on microbial communities (i.e., nitrifiers and methanogens), sediments were collected from the Anacostia River (Washington, D.C.). Microbial communities in sand-capped sediments exhibited the highest activity (tetrazolium redox dye, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis assay, and biogas production), while communities in uncapped sediments exhibited the highest metabolic diversity. Substantial changes in microbial community structure (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) did not occur as a result of capping. Our data showed that the nature and magnitude of the effect that capping can have on microbial activity (biogas production) will likely be dependent on the capping materials chosen.
Keywords: biogas; capping; denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis; microbial activity; microbial communities; sediments

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is without a doubt the best film we are ever likely to see on the subject — unless there is a sequel, which is unlikely, because at the end, the Lincolns are on their way to the theater. It's also a more entertaining movie than I remotely expected. Yes, Reader, I went expecting to sneer.
The story opens with young Abe witnessing the murder of his mother by a vampire. He swears vengeance, and some years later is lucky to be getting drunk while standing at a bar next to Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper), who coaches him on vampire-killing and explains that it is a high calling, requiring great dedication and avoiding distractions like marriage.
There's an early scene in which Lincoln tries to shoot a vampire, but that won't work because they're already dead. Then whatever can he do? "Well," he tells Henry, "I used to be pretty good at rail-splitting…" This line drew only a few chuckles from the audience, because the movie cautiously avoids any attempt to seem funny.
Lincoln's weapon of choice becomes an axe with a silver blade, which he learns to spin like a drum major's baton. That he carries this axe with him much of the time may strike some as peculiar. I was reminded uncannily of Buford Pusser, walking tall and carrying a big stick.
Against Henry's advice, Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) marries Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and the story moves quickly to his days in the White House, where he discovers that the vampires are fighting on the side of the South. This seems odd, since they should be equal opportunity bloodsuckers, but there you have it. Still with him his childhood friend Will Johnson (Anthony Mackie), a free black man whose mistreatment helped form Lincoln's hatred of slavery. Also still at his side is Joshua Speed (Jimmi Simpson), who hired him in his Springfield general store; Johnson and Speed join Lincoln in Civil War strategy sessions and are his principal advisers, roles overlooked by history.
The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and written by Seth Grahame-Smith, based on his novel, handles all these matters with an admirable seriousness, which may be the only way they could possibly work. The performances are earnest and sincere, and even villains like Adam (Rufus Sewell), the American leader of the Vampire Nation, doesn't spit or snarl over much. It regrettably introduces but does not explain Vadoma (Erin Wasson), a statuesque woman who is several decades ahead of time in her taste for leather fetish wear. Are vampires kinky? I didn't know.
Although we do not attend "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" in search of a history lesson, there's one glitch I cannot overlook. In the first day of fighting at Gettysburg, the Union sustains a defeat so crushing that Lincoln is tempted to surrender. This is because the Confederate troops, all vampires, are invulnerable to lead bullets, cannon fire and steel blades, and have an alarming way of disappearing and rematerializing. Over breakfast, Lincoln confides his despair to his wife and says conventional weapons are of no more use against them than — why — than this fork! As he stares at it, he realizes it is silver, and vampires can be killed by silver weapons, as he has proved with his axe-twirling.
Now try not to focus too much on the timeline. After his realization, Lincoln mobilizes all resources to gather wagonloads of silver in Washington, melt it, and manufacture silver bayonets, bullets and cannon balls. Then we see him, Johnson and Speed on board a weapons train en route to Gettysburg. It is night again, so apparently all of this took less than a day.
Never mind. What comes now is a genuinely thrilling action sequence in which the vampires battle with Lincoln and his friends on top of the speeding train, which hurtles toward a high wooden bridge that has been set alight by the sinister Vadoma (pronounced "Vadooma," I think). This sequence is preposterous and yet exciting, using skillful editing and special effects. Somehow Benjamin Walker and his co-stars here are even convincing — well, as convincing as such goofiness could possibly be.
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" has nothing useful to observe about Abraham Lincoln, slavery, the Civil War or much of anything else. Blink and you may miss the detail that Harriet Tubman's Underground Railway essentially won the war for the North. But the film doesn't promise insights on such subjects. What it achieves is a surprisingly good job of doing justice to its title, and treating Lincoln with as much gravity as we can expect, under the circumstances.

text: Susan Wagle Schmidt Returns To Top Spot On Kansas Senate Health Committee By Andy Marso • Dec 15, 2016 File Photo / KHI News Service Kansas Sen. Vicki Schmidt is regaining the chairmanship of the state Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee for next year. "I'm certainly excited to chair public health and welfare again and excited for the opportunities to explore issues that are very important to Kansans," Schmidt said in a phone interview Wednesday. Schmidt, a Republican pharmacist from Topeka, last chaired the committee during the 2012 legislative session, when the chamber was led by moderate Republicans. The Important Legislative Races In Kansas You Probably Haven't Heard About By Stephen Koranda • Nov 7, 2016 Stephen Koranda / KPR It's a campaign without ads. There are no TV spots or mailers. The only people voting are the 165 Kansas lawmakers choosing their new leaders. "Leadership races are the most inside of inside baseball," says University of Kansas political scientist Burdett Loomis. Loomis says you almost have to be a legislative nerd to have heard of the candidates for Kansas House speaker or Senate president, but they get to make committee assignments and control the chamber. What Being A (Native) American Means Now, The US As The World's Police, And Statehouse Blend Kansas By Steve Kraske & Luke X. Martin • Oct 11, 2016 In conjunction with NPR's A Nation Engaged project, Native people answer the question, "What it means to you be an American now." Then, we find out why George Washington may not have agreed with the United State's role as policeman to the world. Finally, President of the Kansas Senate, Susan Wagle, gives us the inside story about what's going on with that state's tax revenues. Kansas Senate President Unveils Policy Plans In Response To Voter Frustration By Stephen Koranda • Oct 5, 2016 Stephen Koranda / Kansas Public Radio Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle and Republican candidates for that chamber have released a series of policy proposals, which include the possibility of amending tax cuts made in recent years. The plan includes overarching themes on topics such as balancing the budget, writing a new school funding formula and creating fairness in the tax code. Wagle is working to harness voter frustration with the Legislature and the budget. She's laying out a message aimed squarely at those Kansans. Kansas Lawmakers May Return to Topeka Next Week By Stephen Koranda • May 17, 2013 It's looking more like Kansas lawmakers may not work through the weekend to finish the legislative session and could instead leave and return next week. It's getting to the point where lawmakers may not be able to finish by the end of the weekend, even if agreements on taxes and the budget are reached soon. After a budget compromise is formed, there's a delay to prepare the bill before the chambers can vote on it. Senate President Susan Wagle, a Republican from Wichita, says it would be a stretch to wrap up the session this weekend. Kansas Senate Could Cut Governor's Budget By Stephen Koranda • Mar 4, 2013 Stephen Koranda / Kansas Public Radio Leaders in the Kansas Senate say they'll likely pursue cuts to the budget recommended by Governor Sam Brownback.

About the Technology
Data science is more than just a set of tools and techniques for extracting knowledge from data sets and data streams. Data science is also a process of getting from goals and questions to real, valuable outcomes by exploring, observing, and manipulating a world of data. Traversing this world can be difficult and confusing. Software developers and non-technical folks may struggle with the uncertainty and fuzzy answers that data invariably provide, and statisticians may have trouble working with any of the multitude of relevant software tools that lie outside of their expertise. Others may not even know where to begin.
What's inside
- Following the data science process data science, step by step
- Discovering the world of data as a wilderness to be explored, wrangled, and studied

10 pancake recipes from our favourite chefs and foodies

September 3rd 2013
Casey Gerard won GTG's Teen Queen teen writing competition with her top tips for decluttering your beauty cupboard
As a beauty junkie, it is all too easy to ignore the countless bottles of nail varnish, cans of hairspray and tubs
of body butter that are piling up in your bathroom cabinet, unused and untouched. To help put an end to overflowing bathrooms around the world, I have come up with a few easy steps to help you de-clutter your beauty life...
Now I must admit, after trying it, this is hard. It is painful saying goodbye to that lipgloss you wore to your sister's party or that nail varnish you've had since you were young. However, you have to be strong and the easiest way to do it is to be honest and ask yourself, 'When was the last time I used this?' If the answer is more than a month ago, it is probably time to say goodbye.
Let's face it. If you're as white as snow, there is unfortunately no way that the foundation you bought named 'sun bronze' or 'warm ginger' in the hope you would one day turn into a Greek goddess, will ever match your skintone. Give it to someone who can use it even in the winter! I would also urge you to give away that bright pink eyeshadow that you bought for yourself last Christmas saying 'I will be rocking this next summer!' You know it's true…
The expiration date of a particular product depends of what it is - a cream, liquid, powder, spray etc. Here is a low down on how long you can keep your products before they'll turn bad.
TOP TIP: If a product smells like your younger brother's feet after football practice, say goodbye!
Everyone has those products that are hanging on their last thread, whether you just can't get round to using it or it was limited edition and you simply don't want to finish it off. Making an effort to finish these products before purchasing new ones will ensure you have a clearer bathroom counter. Furthermore, many companies have programmes exchanging your empties for free goodies! These include MAC's 'Back to MAC' programme and Lush's Fresh Face Mask programme.
All you beauty junkies will know that product bottles and getting-ready areas can get so dirty! The feeling of satisfaction you get when you have a clean bathroom with clean products neatly lined up is so immense it's almost unexplainable - do it and do it now.
Now you've decluttered, why not reward yourself to a new neutral eyeshadow or nude lipgloss that has a realistic chance of getting used?
P.S. Got no one to pass your make-up on to? Package up any unwanted items and send them over to Give and MakeUp, a non-profit organisation set up by Caroline Hirons that gets everyday essentials to the people who need them most.

Our favourite restaurant in Deauville, and even better since it was tastefully
renovated last year. Recommend the veal chop, foie gras tagliatelle and beef rossini.
Another restaurant recommended this place to us as they were full. On arriving at Le Comptoir et La Table we could see that it was really busy but we were lucky enough to get a table.
The food here was really good and really tasty, the only thing that let this restaurant down was the waiter who didn't seem too...
Great service, friendly staff, extensive menu with excellent choices for children. Lovely location by the quay, car park close by. Freshest fish, excellent rack of lamb, lovely puddings. No high chair but perfectly useable harness for one year old.
Recommended to us by a local, we booked our table for dinner at this restaurant and ended up enjoying every minute of it. The staf is friendly, restaurant is nicely and simply decorated, the menu offered a tempting variety of speciality dishes (specially truffles). Everything from our salad, to main courses to the dessert was outstanding. Will surely go again...
We came across the restaurant by accident whilst we were walking on the way to Deauville but it was one of the best places we had launch at during our holiday.
The restaurant had a set lunch menu of 20 euros for 3 courses and it was excellent value for money.
If you are in Deauville I would certainly recommend...
The truffle pasta was extra ordinary. Actually one of the best we have had, ever.
The fish was also delicat. You will not get dissapointed at their desserts either.
I can really recommend this restaurant.
After three nights of poncy gourmet meals - fab in their way but so refined and complicated - I was pining for something straightforward and simpler. And this is that. No black slates. No grey walls. No hushed descriptions of every ingredient. Just good, fresh ingredients properly cooked.
I started with a salad of artichoke hearts, rocket and Parmesan -...
No complaints, but food only average. Service OK, portions OK, but rather bland all round. 3 course menu €30.
Rather ordinary brasserie, at Paris/London prices and unexciting cooking. 30 euro lunch menu can be found with much better cooking and value all over the region, but I guess deauville is a touristy seaside town where restaurants have little real competition?
We have eaten at this restaurant many times over the last 15 years and we have never been disappointed. Today was no exception - we both opted for the 20 euro menu (3 courses) and it was fantastic. My wife had the Duo de Mer which was salmon and Dorade in a lemon butter sauce. She was a bit worried...

Vice Presidential Candidates Missed Opportunity for Critical Dialogue on Affordability of Health Care
"The U.S. annually spends over $2.1 trillion, or 16 percent of its GDP, on health care. Chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, account for 75 percent of every health care dollar spent in the U.S.," says Ken Thorpe, PFCD Executive Director. "This is a pressing issue not just for the health of Americans, but for our future economic stability, and voters deserve to hear the candidates discuss how they will address these rising costs."
Earlier this week, Thorpe and Former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, co-chair of the PFCD Wisconsin chapter, held a conference call to discuss why health care could be the next financial casualty on the horizon. Health care is becoming a growing financial burden for individual Americans and a threat to the U.S. economy.
"The economic downturn has made paying attention to the issue of health reform in 2009 an even more important priority," said Thorpe. "Failure on the part of our nation's leaders to act on making health care more affordable is a recipe for long-term disaster."
Chronic diseases are the number one cause of death and leading driver of rising health care costs in America. The annual economic impact on the U.S. economy of the seven most common chronic diseases is calculated to be $1.3 trillion, which could balloon to nearly $6 trillion by the middle of the century. These are conditions that, with proper early intervention, diet, and exercise, could be prevented, delayed, or minimized. More than 130 million Americans today have a chronic disease.
About the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease:
The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) is a national coalition of patients, providers, community organizations, business and labor groups, and health policy experts committed to raising awareness of the number one cause of death, disability, and rising health care costs in the U.S.: chronic disease.
The PFCD's mission is to:
For more information about the PFCD and its partner organizations, please visit: http://www.fightchronicdisease.org.
-- Challenge policymakers - in particular, the 2008 presidential candidates - to make the issue of chronic disease a top priority and articulate how they will address the issue through their health care proposals -- Educate the public about chronic disease and potential solutions for individuals, communities, and the nation -- Mobilize Americans to call for change in how policymakers, governments, employers, health institutions, and other entities approach chronic disease

I love rabbits. My family had one growing up, and we adored her. She was also crazy and chewed up half the house. Every year, parents buy rabbits for Easter, thinking they'll be a cute addition to their kid's Easter baskets. Unfortunately many of these rabbits will be abandoned once the families realize how much work comes with these cute bunnies.
After every Easter, shelters like the Red Door Animal Shelter receive a flood of rabbit drop offs from people acting on impulse buys. However, this is a better alternative to the countless rabbits who are released outdoors, a death sentence for this domesticated pet.
If you're thinking of buying a live Easter bunny, don't. If you are considering a rabbit as a pet, stop and consider the following.
- This is a long-term commitment. Rabbits can live up to 10 years.
- They often need to be spayed or neutered to cut down on aggression and spraying.
- Rabbits are not passive, cuddly creatures, and small children can often frighten them.
- They are prey animals and can attract the attention of the family dog.
- While rabbits can grow pretty large, they are still very fragile. They need to be handled with care.
- Rabbits don't just sit in a cage like a hamster. They need playtime and stimulation.
- Rabbits need a pen or cage, a litter box, hay, toys, special food and other basics similar to dogs and cats.
- They can be destructive. You'll need to supervise their playtime and rabbit-proof your home.
A rabbit can be a great pet if the owner is prepared to provide the right quality of care. If you are ready to have a fluffy, adorable bunny in your life, visit your local animal shelter and pick one out!

Man Jailed for Assault on 12 Year Old
A man invited to a neighbour's barbecue sexually assaulted a 12 year old girl, Luton Crown Court heard today.
Michael Bussue, a 48 year old married man, was alone with the girl in the lounge when the assault happened.
He touched the girl's breast over her clothing on the sofa.
He had earlier appeared for sentence and had been found guilty of sexually assaulting a child under 13.
Miss Pamela Brain defending said he had no previous convictions and had been unemployed for two years.
The judge said it was a low level sexual assault of a child that merited a prison sentence.
He said the defendant "appeared unrepentant."
Mr Bussue was sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, with 12 months supervision and 100 hours of unpaid work.
The judge also made a Sexual Offences Prevention Order which forbids Mr Bussue having any contact with the victim and from seeking any employment with children under 16.

This is a key wind (MANUAL WINDING) with a 8 day movement and key. The clock is in the shouldered arch style with a nut wood case and with wooden fretwork side panels to each side. These side panels filter out the high frequency of the bell chime, this gives a better sound when the sound leaves the clock, striking is to a double bell once on the half hour and on the full hour for how many hours the time is. Behind the thick brass hinged door with real glass is the dial with a silver colour chapter ring that has black roman numerals and a period style metal filigree hands and with thick brass corner applications and the name John Thomas London etched in the middle of the dial. The feet are brass as is the handle and side columns. Also a working rolling moon phase features showing the rise and fall of the moon and with days on the edge of the dial.

Warmink Clock History:After 75 years in business and craftsmanship dating back to the 17th century, Warmink Uhren (WUBA CLOCKS) of Almalo, The Netherlands has closed their doors forever. The Warmink family has retired. The remaining items were sold off & once they are gone, there will never be any more manufactured. Those items you already own are now collectors items. If you need parts, they are still available thru Clock Emporium and other such dealers. Clockmaking is not a new industry to Holland, for small family business' have existed for centuries producing the various types and styles that distinguish Dutch Clocks from those of other countries. The "WARMINK" Company represented such an industry since it's existence for over 70 years -- producing quality clocks in the traditional Dutch styling with the most exacting standards of craftsmanship. Clockmaking still requires much handwork for perfect finish inside and out. This is shown by the beautiful hand-painted dials and the necessary workmanship to finish the oak and walnut wood, in order to obtain the fine satin gloss of the walnut that characterizes the "WARMINK CLOCKS". All this care and skill makes the creation of a Warmink clock a living tradition. The rustic charm of these lovely styled pieces and a choice of romantic chimes represents a note of distinction in every home. See additional detailed pictures and Movie Footage Below & postal costs.

America's favorite teenage canine-led crime fighters earn a second shot at the big screen in this sequel to the hit comedy Scooby-Doo. The reunited Mystery Inc. team -- Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard), and Scooby-Doo (voice of Neil Fanning) -- return to their hometown of Coolsville as heroes when a local criminology museum offers an exhibition of the many ghostly disguises used by villains they've subdued over the years. However, their warm welcome is not long-lived; mean-spirited television reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone) has aired a series of stories calling the team's intelligence and bravery into question, and even worse, a number of the weird creature costumes on display in the museum are coming to life and wrecking havoc on the people of Coolsville. Some of the clues seem to point to Old Man Wickles (Peter Boyle), whose attempts to pose as the Black Knight Ghost were foiled by the Mystery Machinists in the past, but is he looking for revenge or just a red herring? And what is Velma supposed to do about Patrick Wisely (Seth Green), a curator at the museum who's warm for her helmet-haired form? Scooby-Doo 2 also co-stars Tim Blake Nelson and features a cameo appearance from American Idol star Ruben Studdard. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
