Straight to the scene of the crime
The air is fresh and awakening as you drive down the roads into the middle of the town. It's still early, you glance at the clock in the car - 6:03 am.
The small businesses begin to open up as you drive past. Some of the less busy shopkeepers wave and smile at you. You smile back and nod your head. Maybe being up so early in the morning isn't so bad after all.
You turn off out of the town - onto the motor way.
You can feel the wind whipping you hair as you gun down the motor way to get to the scene of the crime. Everywhere is deserted. Completely empty. You feel alive. Free.
Turning off the motor way, you wonder exactly where it is you should be heading. You pull up and retrieve your phone.
As you grasp it in your hand, it begins to ring and vibrate. You answer it.
"I'll text you the address you should head to." It was your boss. Was - he hung up immediately. Sighing, you wait for the text. It comes through and you read it. It says: "Sycamore House..."
You pause. Isn't that a famous house? Someone important definitely lives there. You scramble your memory as to who it might be. The Dif-. The Din-. The Dixies!
You follow the directions in the text and pull up outside the house. It's huge - three stories tall. You see the gardens littered with policemen and women. They all look concerned and sickened.
You open the car door. Shutting it behind you, you see a couple of people who you should talk to.
Who do you talk to first?

Gaze through my eyesMature
This is an autobiographical epic poem in the style of The Aeneid. Names are obviously false.
The Beginning
I will not open with fact,
No matter how you react,
But with imagination,
And without the slightest hesitation.
Let me take you back in time,
Please do not decline,
And paint you a scene,
Where much may you glean.
Picture a distinguished man,
A terrifyingly strict man,
Of an old fashioned, Victorian mindset,
That was Ajay Biswas, a man of prospect.
Biswas had a family; a wife Ambu,
Two sons; Bansi and Babu,
Two daughters, Alpana and Amala.
Bansi, the elder was an engineer,
Which in India is a popular career,
With the elder three married and settled,
Ajay determined Babu too be settled.
Babu, a carefree guy of twenty four,
Did his free and single life adore,
But Ajay, stern and unbending,
Decided an arranged marriage be pending.
Ajay consulted with nephew Manav,
Manav had a daughter Malati,
Ajay and Manav agreed on the union.

To preface this, I am very active with Ohioans for Concealed Carry. Ohio's PAC and lobby on CCW and all gun rights. That said please read this post if you shop at Kroger or just care about CCW rights.
Policy change has Kroger banning Licensed Concealed Carry. In a abrupt about face Kroger has decided to ban licensed carry at their stores per a email to one of Ohioans for Concealed Carry's coordinators.This Ohioans for Concealed Carry contact was prompted by a ousting of a licensee at a Kroger's for printing. Printing isn't illegal in Ohio.Thank you for contacting Kroger. The concealed weapons policy was updated and as of 4/28/10 our policy reads:
"Concealed Weapons - even if you have License to carry still can't carry." I understand your frustrations and I will be forwarding your concerns to our Division office for review. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me back. Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us.

Here is a link to the letter that Kroger sent the man ejected from the store after he complained about his treatment.
Here is the link to the OFCC thread on the whole incident up untill now.
Please everyone that shops at Kroger contact them and let them know you will take your business elsewhere should they follow this new policy.
If we flood them like we did back in 2004 with emails they will relent again.
Please Cross post this on any of your favorite gun forums with my thanks!

I've recently been informed that you no longer allow lawfully permitted customers with concealed weapons in your stores?
Your policy is essentially telling criminals that no Kroger shoppers are armed and it's essentially inviting and allowing them to escalate their criminal intentions in an environment that is attractive to them.
I'm a responsible citizen and I don't care to become a statistic while shopping at Krogers. My life and the lives of my family are more important to me than shopping at your stores.
We can easily shop elsewhere, and will do so, for as long as your policy offers up a Kroger customer base that is defenseless and at the mercy of criminals.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Glock 36 with Lasermax / Glock 23 / Glock 21. Ruger SP101. Taurus 85.
DZSG (Designated Zombie Survival Gun) = 870 Remington Tactical Shotgun
This has to be a nightmare for Kroger getting it from all over the country. What they need to understand is that gun/self defense community is very tight. Any infringement is a affront to the whole. Kroger wants to be a national company then they need to follow national will. The absolute tsunami of CC laws passed and the same huge wave of licensees growing should tell them this but there is always some anti that wants to stop citizens from defending themselves.
Great job guys!

I have a feeling this is a regional problem. I both CC and OC in Krogers here in VA with no problems. In fact I OC'd in one this morning. Will be interesting to so see if it is a corporate policy change.

Mike Bloomberg's million trees may soon have some pollution neutralizing company if The New York Harbor Foundation succeeds in it's effort to repopulate the harbor with a billion oysters. The Foundation has been working with students from the Governor's Island-based New York Harbor School over the last six years to foster oyster nurseries and conduct long-term research projects at locations throughout the harbor.
The kids recently set up a riverside nursery along a stretch of Hudson River Greenway on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Municipal signage warns would-be harvesters to steer clear of the oysters, which may be contaminated by raw sewage and industrial waste. I'm all for leaving harbor oyster colonies alone to thrive but wouldn't mind watching Anthony Bourdain knock back a few between beers and a couple of butts.

I am writing about Indian concert review which is my passion. I also write about zentai and other things but without occasional good indian concerts, I would have no air to breath. My wish is to be friend with Indian concert organiser in Singapore who can send me emails on occasions of every Indian concerts. I like both Hindustani and Carnatic, instrumental and vocal. I don't like fusion of Indian and some other things because they are normally not pushing the energy high but instead composing something 'different' in style. What I want is a level of consciousness.

UCF Knights vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Sunday, October 26th, 2008 8pm EST
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Records: UCF 2-4, Tulsa 7-0
Last week: UCF was off following a tough 20-14 loss at Miami; Tulsa ran it up on UTEP, 77-35.
Tulsa offense- 1st overall (624.7 ypg., 5th passing- 357.7 ypg., 7th rushing- 267.0 ypg.) 1st scoring- 56.6 ppg. vs. UCF defense- 50th overall (338.3 ypg., 86th passing- 230.0 ypg., 27th rushing- 108.3 ypg.) 74th scoring- 26.7 ppg.
The Knights defense has its work cut out for them this week as they travel to Tulsa and take on the nation's best offense. Most big time offensive stats teams are one-dimensional, but Tulsa is the only team in the nation ranked in the top seven in both passing and rushing offense.
The Golden Hurricane is led by quarterback David Johnson, who leads the nation in passing efficiency with a 212.8 quarterback rating, which is more than 20 points higher than number two quarterback Sam Bradford from Oklahoma. Johnson has completed 69% of his passes for 2397 yards, 31 TD's, and just 8 INT's.
As we mentioned, Tulsa can run the football almost as well as they throw it, and their best running back is Tarrion Adams, who has gained 633 yards on just 107 carries with five rushing touchdowns. A.J. Whitmore has averaged better than 10 yards per carry in limited opportunities, but also has five touchdowns.
David Johnson's top receiving threat is senior wideout Brennan Marion, who leads the team with 28 receptions for 755 yards and seven touchdowns. Freshman Damaris Johnson has 24 receptions for 367 yards and five touchdowns, junior wide receiver Slick Shelley has caught 22 balls for 409 yards and six touchdowns, and sophomore fullback Charles Clay has 17 receptions for 250 yards, and six touchdowns.
Although the Knights secondary is as talented as any in the country, and they have a few players who could play on Sunday's, they will have their hands full trying to slow down this ultra-explosive offense.
Best offensive matchup for Tulsa: Rodrick Thomas vs. David Williams- Thomas should have his way with the undersized Williams, and look for Tulsa to run off right tackle.
Best defensive matchup for UCF: Torrell Troup vs. Jody Whaley- Troup is a load at 6'4", 320 lbs. and is turning into a dominant defensive tackle. Look for Troup to clog the middle against Whaley.
UCF offense- 119th overall (248.3 ypg., 110th passing- 121.7 ypg., 83rd rushing-126.7 ypg.) scoring- T108th- 17.7 ppg. vs. Tulsa defense- 99th overall (410.7 ypg., 110th passing- 274.6 ypg., 59th rushing-136.1 ypg.) 80th scoring- 27.1 ppg.
The Knights offense has obviously struggled mostly due to youth and inexperience at key positions, such as quarterback and running back, as evidenced by their overall ranking being last in the NCAA. UCF may have junior quarterback Michael Greco back this week as he is battling a knee injury. Greco gives an added dimension of speed to the offense at quarterback, although he has been mediocre as a passer in his first season of starting.
UCF will try to control the clock by running the football and making first downs in this game, which is certainly easier said than done from a struggling offense. Freshman running back Ronnie Weaver will have to have a good game, as he is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry.
Tulsa plays a very aggressive 3-3-5 defense, in which they are prepared for teams who mostly throw the ball which the C-USA is full of. The 3-3-5 also allows them to rush the passer from different spots and confuse young or inexperienced quarterbacks.
Tulsa's leading tackler is junior middle linebacker Mike Bryan. Bryan is a playmaker who has recorded 51 tackles, 4 TFL, and has recovered a fumble. Senior defensive end Moton Hopkins has 40 tackles, 5 TFL, 2 sacks, and two fumble recoveries. Junior James Lockett leads the team with 3.5 sacks to go along with 38 tackles, 7 TFL, and 3 forced fumbles.
The Golden Hurricane have some youth in the secondary, and teams have been able to take advantage of that as evidenced by their 100th ranked pass defense. Cornerback John Flanders is a freshman, and Kenny D. Sims is a junior.
Best offensive matchup for UCF: Patrick Brown vs. Un'Tavious Scott- Brown is clearly the Knights best offensive player and is one of the better left tackles in the nation. He should be able to handle the undersized Scott.
Best defensive matchup for Tulsa: James Lockett vs. UCF QB's- Lockett is a big play guy that will line up anywhere and either rush or defend. UCF's quarterbacks are young and inexperienced, and can be tricked from time to time.
Special teams
The UCF special teams units can be special at times, and awful at others. Return man Joe Burnett is among the nation's best, as he ranks 11th nationally in punt returns (15.3 ypr.) and 3rd in kickoff returns (32.5 ypr.) with two touchdowns. The Knights coverage units are average, but their kicking game has been very inconsistent this year, and really can't be counted on as coach O'Leary switches between senior Daren Daly and freshman Nick Cattoi from week to week based on practice results. Sophomore punter Blake Clingan has been solid, averaging 40.1 yards per punt.
Tulsa senior kicker Jarod Tracy has been good, hitting on five of six field goal attempts with a long of just 34 yards. The Golden Hurricane has turned to freshman Kevin Fitzpatrick on longer kicks, and he's one for two with a long of 41 yards. Sophomore punter Michael Such is averaging 47.8 yards per punt, which would ranks him as the top punter in the nation, although the Tulsa offense is so efficient he doesn't have enough punts to qualify. Sophomore punt returner Trae Johnson averages 8.7 ypr., and freshman kickoff returner Damaris Johnson is ranked 20th in the nation with a 27.3 ypr. average.

More than 73,000 single-family homes were sold in 2013, better than the previous record set in 2007. Tim Surratt with Kingwood Green Properties says in his 30 years as a realtor, he's seen a lot in Houston's housing market.
"We had the boom of the early-80s, and the oil bust in the mid-80s, and then everything in between 9/11 and anything else that can affect the real estate market we've been through."
But realtors had to work with location and the low inventory of homes all year long.
"It's not even just inside the loop; it's from downtown all the way to Beltway 8."
Chaille Ralph of Heritage Texas Properties chairs the Houston Association of Realtors. She says the low inventory of homes puts sellers in the driver's seat.
"When we're sitting with 2.6 months of inventory across the city, that's going to limit what's available and it's certainly is a seller's market at this time. But there are available listings and they do sell quickly. So, being able to make good decisions and fast decisions, I think are the critical points that people need to consider."
Homes in Houston are listed on average for 90-days. Ralph says buyers must know as much as they can about a house they want to buy.
"If it is a market with little inventory, obviously we're going to see a higher increase in values happening. The cleaner an offer can be, the more likely it is to be considered against an offer that has more contingencies tied to it."
It's expected that more people will put their homes on the market come spring which should pad the inventory.

Daines gets an earful from Obamacare skeptics By Dan Boyce • Jan 6, 2014 Dan Boyce Montana Congressman Steve Daines held a roundtable discussion Monday to discuss negative impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). "My objective here today is to learn and listen," Daines told the group gathered at the Montana Chamber of Commerce Building in Helena. Daines heard from small business owners who complained of higher insurance rates stemming from mandated changes to policies. Another woman said her planned kidney transplant was put on hold as she navigated from her old insurance plan to a new one as a result of the law. Insurance companies, commissioner examining options following ObamaCare announcement By Dan Boyce • Nov 16, 2013 Dan Boyce Montana Insurance companies are looking over their options after President Obama's Thursday announcement regarding the Affordable Care Act. The President said some insurance plans about to be cancelled for not following the new healthcare law will be allowed to continue for one more year. Montana's Insurance commissioner said the announcement throws years of planning for ObamaCare into a tailspin.

The procedure has more than halved death rates from burst blood vessels - the third biggest killer of men over 60.
The technique, revealed today at Guys and St Thomas' hospital, means patients can be treated through tiny holes in the groin under local anaesthetic instead of full surgery. It is designed to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysms, where part of the main artery explodes and blood pressure plunges.
Half of patients die before reaching hospital and 50 per cent of those admitted do not survive. But mortality rates at Guys and St Thomas' 24-hour vascular surgery unit are under 10 per cent. Its doctors insert a sleeve into the artery. The sleeve is fitted with steel wires which stiffen when heated to body temperature, stemming blood loss and protecting the artery wall.

see, you've eyes of snow
Look, girl, I'd hand you the moon on a thread of iron. Never to break. You know, all that silk you love is so delicate, how do you ever stay warm? Let me clothe you in sealskin and bear fur.
Look, child, I'd whistle you up storms of silver to dance with on long nights. Our breath will freeze curtains between us; I'll peek out and you'll laugh. Don't you think Aurora's opals will suit your white skin better than all the rubies in the ground? Let me forge you trinkets of chrystal and ice.
Look, dearest soul, I'd walk miles in the dark to bring oil for your hearth. Sparks to thaw your hands. Can you see the sea's white shoulders from your tower on high? Let me teach you how to crest the waves on the back of Brother Whale.
Look, princesse, I'd die for your love. Take my hand, take my heart, and I'll plow you a path through the snow. Don't you know that there is no one but I who could fill your hands with frozen stars? Let me love you, let me love you, let me love you...

UK terrorism pool Pool Re aims to influence behavioural change by rewarding commercial building owners with insurance credit reductions in exchange for increased security measures. Julian Enoizi, CEO, Pool Re, talks to Intelligent Insurer.
As terrorism risk in all its guises becomes a growing problem for businesses and an increasing headache for re/insurers in terms of how to cover it, an initiative has been launched in the UK designed to incentivise businesses to invest in security and mitigation measures by rewarding them with cheaper coverage.
From October, 2015, the UK government's Crowded Places programme will offer loss mitigation credit (LMC) to businesses and organisations that are putting in place mitigation measures and security improvements to protect public sites and venues from terrorist attacks.
It is something other countries could learn from. The initiative by Pool Re—a public-private partnership (PPP) which allows the insurance industry to write terrorism risk with the backing of government—aims to influence behavioural change by offering insurance credit reductions to participating companies.

Sarah - Avoiding
"Sarah! What did I--" Josh stuttered, I looked at him with the most cutting glare I could manage,
"Just go ok? Just... just leave me alone," I cut him off and turned away to hide the pain in my eyes; I shoved my belongings into my locker and hoped he'd leave before I had to turn back round. I heard him breathe in,
"Alright...if you ever change your mind...you know where to find me I guess..." he trailed off, my heart seemed to stutter and then stop and all of a sudden I wanted to turn round and wrap my arms around his neck. But I knew if I did, and I was seen, my future would rapidly change. I heard his footsteps plod off and I rested my head against my locker, the cold metal penetrated my skin and seemed to go to my brain. I momentarily forgot the pain in my heart, it rushed back all of a sudden and I leaned away from the locker, I bumped my head against it again hoping physical pain would help me forget. I repeated the movement, slamming my head again and again on the metal door.
"Excuse me, could you go to your next lesson now please?" a teacher asked pulling my shoulder away, I picked up my books and hurried away. I sank into my seat in politics and didn't say anything the whole lesson, as I walked out the class, Mrs Pierson asked me to come to her desk.
"You were quiet this lesson," she stated,
"I have a lot on my mind," I muttered, she smiled kindly,
"I got an email from a member of staff, they said they had to stop you hitting your head against...a locker was it?" she glanced back at the computer for confirmation, I groaned,
"I was upset," I told her, "annoyed,"
"I'm going to have to send you to the school therapist,"
"A shrink?" I stuttered,
"I think it will help, I've made an appointment which you'll take once a week on Tuesday lunchtimes until Miss Martin feels otherwise," she handed me a slip and I snatched it off her,
"Thanks," I said acidly, I didn't need to see a shrink, I had my life sorted out perfectly - it just wasn't the way I wanted it. I was fuming by the time I got out of school and into work; I cleaned the floor with such force it was sparkling by the time I'd finished. I leaned back on the mop exhausted and feeling a little better. I slept rough again that night in between a dumpster and a brick wall behind a restaurant, my clothes were beginning to smell a little off and I knew I soon needed to fork out some money to clean them. I ignored Josh all through school the next day, but it was so much harder trying not to see someone - he seemed to pop up everywhere.
I felt relieved when I got into work and happy that I could work in the gym today, at 3:30 the door opened and two teenage boys walked in, I ducked behind a weights machine and groaned, he was here. I waited in my position as the boys began to use the running machines and ducked out the door so fast there was no way they'd have seen me, I went to the desk,
"Can I do some cleaning today?" I asked, Trudy, the receptionist, raised an eyebrow,
"You hate cleaning,"
I smiled sweetly, "Please?" she smiled and pointed at the cupboard; I disappeared into the female shower rooms and immersed myself in cleaning hard. That night I took a shower, cleaned my clothes at the dry cleaners and bought myself a sandwich, once I'd splashed out I ventured far out into Beverly Hills and feeling gutsy I slept on a bench in someone's large gazebo.
It was Tuesday lunchtime when I remembered my appointment, I sighed in relief as I realized that at least Josh wouldn't be around. I shut myself inside the office and sat on the chair opposite Miss Martin,
"My name's Hannah," she smiled and shook my hand,
"I'm Sarah,"
"I know who you are," she held my file, "I also know you live with your foster mother in Downtown Los Angeles, you have a brother called Thomas and usually hit As in your report cards," she smiled, "but I'm not going to read your file to you, you know it all anyways," I smiled but swallowed, what if what I said didn't match with my file? I'd have to be careful... "So tell me why you think you're here,"
"I'm here because someone caught me hitting my head against a locker," I smiled at the sound of it,
"We may as well get straight into it," she smiled; I already liked her, "why were you hitting yourself against a locker?"
"I was frustrated with myself for letting something happen, although, it was out of my control,"
"Riiight..." she smiled again, "going to elaborate?"
"If I do," I began carefully, "it will be even more out of control and you'll ruin everything," Hannah narrowed her eye confused,
"If I promise I won't?"
"You'll have to," I told her, "it's your job to report things and stuff," I sighed slowly realizing I'd said too much,
"It must be bad if you think I need to report it," she said slowly bringing out some paper, I stood up and scowled at her - I knew she was doing her job but I didn't trust her anymore than I did anyone. I went to the door,
"Look, it's all okay now," I told her, "I promise," she didn't look convinced but she let me leave and I rushed into the bathroom as I saw Josh coming from the other direction.

'Dance version of Rocky' George Sampson is crowned winner of Britain's Got Talent
There were 50,000 auditions and millions of votes, lots of laughter and plenty of tears.
But after weeks of deliberation the public have decided that break-dancing youngster George Sampson has got the most talent.
After announcing the public's favourite three - George along with Andrew Johnston and duo Signature - presenters Ant and Dec revealed to a tense audience the 14-year-old had triumphed.
Struggling to believe his victory George holds back tears and then does one last dance for all of his fans
Struggling to believe his victory, the teenager held his head in his hands and couldn't stop saying thankyou.
He added in a message to those who voted for him: 'You've changed my life and I couldn't ask for anything else.'
Judge Simon Cowell held up his glass to George and replied for the nation saying: 'You are the dance version of Rocky - you battled your way to the top, congratulations.'
While Signature handled their defeat without much emotion, favourite Andrew Johnston found it difficult to hold back tears when he was announced as third runner-up.
After shaking hands with Ant and Dec, the 13-year-old made a sharp exit side-stage.
This was the second time teenager George had tried to impress judges after being knocked out the preliminary stages last year.
Street dancer George Sampson
Body popper George Sampson, 14, was knocked out of last year's competition but sprang back this year to stun the judges with his routine to the old favourite Singin' In the Rain.
The teenager from Warrington swung around lampposts before getting drenched in a staged thunderstorm in his spellbinding performance on Wednesday.
Amanda Holden actually started weeping. She described George as 'inspirational'.
He is so committed that he travels to Manchester every week to perform on the streets for money because his mother Lesley, 39, is unable afford professional lessons for him.
Odds before his win: 3-1
However he won over the trio and the public with his final high energy dance routine to a funked-up version of Singing in the Rain.
Fellow judge Piers Morgan said after the performance: "I love your confidence, George. I love the fact that every time we've ever seen you it's the best performance you've ever done. I think all great dancers are like that."
Prior to the nail-biting episode of the show, pop mogul Simon Cowell had named his five favourite acts and luckily for the judge George was among them.
The 48-year-old had said that only half of the ten remaining groups had the potential to win the coveted title.
Along with the winner he claimed Faryl Smith, Andrew Johnston, Signature and the dog act Kate and Gin were all still in with a chance.
Stealing the show; George Sampson, 14, Faryl Smith, 12, and Andrew Jonston, 13
He said: "I think it is going to be unbelievably close between them and they are the five we like the best too.
"I think George has got as much of a shot as any singer and I wouldn't write off Signature yet.
"If the dog wins, what will I do? I'll get on the phone and call Pedigree Chum immediately!"
Cowell also praised the "incredible voices" of the child singers, Faryl, 12, and 13-year-old Andrew.
He did not think the best of Faryl, the bookies' favourite, has been seen yet.
They are all too young to drive a fancy sports car or crack open a celebratory bottle of bubbly.
So the three child favourites to win Britain's Got Talent will have to find some other way to spend their cash after tonight's final.
Despite the result, opera singer Faryl Smith, 12, and choirboy Andrew Johnston, 13, can expect to become millionaires.
While the prize on the show is £100,000 and a chance to appear at the Royal Variety Performance, the real reward will be far greater.
The three acts are being circled by record companies and talent agents in an attempt to cash in on the programme's phenomenal success.
The hit ITV show is presented by Ant and Dec and features judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.
It began back in April, but this week has been holding nightly semi-finals, each of which produced two finalists. Audiences have been as much as 12million and TV insiders are predicting record ratings for tonight's show.
Sony BMG, the company to which Cowell is linked, is believed to be among those keen on signing Faryl and Andrew, as well as failed 11-year-old semi-finalist Charlie Green.
Young kid on the block: Simon Cowell is said to be keen to sign failed contestant Charlie Green, 11,
Odds-on favourite Faryl, daughter of a builder and a hairdresser, is expected to sign a record deal worth 1million if she wins tonight.
Sources close to Cowell admit he is ready to take her under his wing and make her the same global success as he has with X Factor queen Leona Lewis.
David Williams, of Ladbrokes, said: 'Faryl Smith is in a league of her own when it comes to the betting public. It is unheard of to have so clear an outright favourite on this type of reality show.'
Last year's Britain's Got Talent winner, opera singer, Paul Potts, signed a £1million record deal with Cowell after winning the show, with record sales around the globe.
Other performers on the show have also received lucrative offers with dance duo Signature being offered up to £5,000 to perform for the global bank Citigroup.
The selection of finalists has led to suspicions that programme chiefs have manipulated the vote.
For the first four semi-finals, whoever performed last was voted through to the final, leading to complaints that the producers were placing their favourites at the end so they would be fresh in the public's mind.
A spokesman had said programme chiefs had chosen to end each show with acts that had attracted the most attention from their previous appearances. He said there was nothing wrong with ending the show 'on a high' with performers had been most talked about.
He said: 'It is logical to finish with the big act. We don't want to end the show on a bad act, we want it to end on a high. But there is no favouritism. Every act has the same voting window.'
Here we profile seven of the runners-up.
Simon Cowell said Faryl Smith was someone you prayed to find
Faryl Smith, from Kettering, Northamptonshire, is a gap-toothed 12-year-old who looks and sounds like any other normal kid until she starts to sing. And suddenly, she's a diva.
She won over Simon Cowell with her stunning rendition of Ave Maria. He organised private lessons with X Factor tutor Yvie Burnett, who has worked with Paul Potts and Leona Lewis. 'When you enter a competition like this, you pray to find someone like you,' gushed Cowell.
Odds: 25-1
Amanda backed Strike 100 per cent
Martial arts duo Liam Richards, 19, and Danny Ball, 22, perform under the name of Strike. They had teenage girls swooning when they performed high kicks and acrobatic moves to the high-energy House of Pain track, Jump Around.
The pair have now karate-kicked their way into the final and TV's Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell, declared them one of his favourite acts in the semi-finals.
Amanda Holden rather cheekily suggested that the bare-chested boys from South Yorkshire might like to take off their judo trousers too.
But despite gaining the judges' favour, Liam from Sheffield, and Danny from Doncaster, failed to win the public vote. The judges were forced to choose between Strike and pint-sized performer Charlie Green for a place in the final.
While Cowell gave his vote to Charlie, Amanda backed Strike '100 per cent' and Piers delighted the boys by giving them the casting vote. The double act are rumoured to have already been inundated with offers to perform in dance videos.
Odds: 25-1
Katie Nicholas and her dancing dog Gin
Gin the performing dog has been lapping up the limelight ever since making her TV debut with 16-year-old partner Kate Nicholas, from Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Kate started training her pet, who got her name after she was seen drinking from a glass of gin, as a puppy six years ago and practice sessions last for two hours a day.
Talking about their earlier appearances, Kate said: 'I thought she might be scared with all the lights and the noise, but it didn't seem to affect her at all.
I was terrified but got through it by pretending it was a rehearsal.'
Odds: 14-1
Cheeky Monkeys wowed the judges
Cheeky Monkeys Krista Hyatt, nine, and Charlie Dixon, eight, have a reputation for living up to their stage name.
The young dancing duo confessed that they have been terrorising the martial arts duo, Strike, with phoney phonecalls and other pranks.
The pair both attend Laneshaw Bridge Primary School in Lancashire and started dancing together a year ago.
But they have shrugged off claims that they are romantically involved.
Krista apparently has a boyfriend while Charlie did have two girlfriends, but now has only the one.
Odds: 50-1
Andrew Johnston amazed with Pie Jesu
In the first round, Andrew Johnston knocked the judges off their seats with his angelic rendition of Pie Jesu.
As if that wasn't enough to move us all to tears, the nation later learned that the 13-year-old, with the big set of lungs, had for the past seven years been made to feel small by classmates just because of his love of opera.
The bullies must have felt a little foolish when more than 11million viewers saw the choirboy voted into the finals.
Andrew, who is now head chorister at Carlisle Cathedral, started singing at six and taught himself Pie Jesu in his bedroom.
Odds: 6-1
Bhangra Michael Jacksons Signature
London lawyer Suleman Mirza dons white socks when he moonlights as the King of Pop.
The 29-year- old is half of Signature, a Michael Jackson tribute band, who fuse the singer's lyrics and moves with traditional Indian dancing.
While Suleman moonwalks in trilby and black drainpipe trousers, his pal Madhu Singh, 34, bops along Bhangra style.
The pair have described their act as moonwalking 'with a twist'.
Odds: 10-1
Trained plumber Andrew Muir
Andrew Muir, 24, impressed judges with his electrifying perfomance of the Paolo Nutini song Last Request.
The trained plumber lives with his parents above their pub in Fauldhouse, West Lothian.
He scores higher in the singing stakes than he does in the fashion department. He has been ruthlessly mocked by all three judges for his dubious dress sense.
Amanda Holden even went so far as to tell him to 'sack his stylist'.
Odds: 10-1

Yale, New Haven, CT
INTRODUCTION: Lactic acidosis is infrequently associated with malignancies, and typically potends a poor prognosis. Reports have been predominantly confined to lymphoma and leukemia. We report the case of a patient with Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the stomach presenting with severe lactic acidosis.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 63 year-old white male with a history of Large cell NEC of the stomach, with known metastases to the liver and bone presented with increasing back pain.He was diagnosed seven months earlier; and completed seven cycles of carboplatin and taxol, Yttrium-90 microsphere hepatic radioembolisation, and palliative radiotherapy to his involved bones. He completed his first cycle of epirubicin/irinotecan, three weeks prior to presentation. He noticed increasing pain in the back, without other complaints. On presentation his neurological examination revealed no deficits. An MRI showed lesions at T7 with spinal cord compression. He was transferred to the ER where his vital signs were noted to be within normal limits. He was given dexamethasone 10mg IV followed by 4mg IV q6h. He was admitted and scheduled for neurosurgical decompression surgery the next day.His pre-operative blood tests showed several abnormalities. AST 53, ALT 36, Alkaline phosphatase 381, PT 50, PTT 44, Hb 10.4, Plt 238 x 103, WCC 15.5 x 103, and a serum bicarbonate of 19. A serum lactate of 12.5 prompted a transfer to the ICU. His vital signs were T 98.1 degrees F, HR 91/min, RR 15/min, BP 132/73, SpO2 98% on room air, and he was found to be alert, with a benign physical examination. His only complaints were dryness of mouth, and some loose stool and slight dizziness. A stool guiac was negative.Further testing revealed fibrinogen 575, a normal thrombin time and D-dImer, a serum bicarbonate of 10 and an arterial pH of 7.22 with pCO2 23. A mixing study showed normal correction. Repeat liver enzymes revealed no changes. His PT normalised with vitamin K supplementation. His cultures were negative. A CT scan of the abdomen revealed an unchanged enlarged heterogenous liver,, and a perfusion abnormality suggesting a thrombus in the left main portal vein. However, ultrasonography of the liver refuted this, demonstrating normal hepatopedal flow.The patient remained stable, with no evidence for hypoxia or sepsis, and he subsequently underwent spinal decompression. His serum lactate remained high. He was discharged home and remained well.
DISCUSSIONS: Lactate, is the end product of anaerobic glycolysis. In excess it may cause lactic acidosis (LA), however it may be found in the absence of demonstrable tissue hypoxia; termed type B.LA is an infrequent complication of hematological malignancies primarily associated with adult leukemias and lymphomas.The pathogenesis is not well understood; cancer cells through various alterations of the glycolytic pathway can maintain a high rate of glycolysis, even in the presence of oxygen; and liver involvement may affect clearance.Our patient had a lactic acidosis in the setting of NEC with metastasis to the liver, a hitherto undescribed association. The chronology of its elevation is unclear, however the worsening acidosis in the setting of steroid administration leads us to speculate an association, through cytolysis or other mechanisms. The reversible coagulopathy had multiple potential etiologies, and cannot be specifically attributed to the same mechanisms.
CONCLUSION: In cases of type B LA associated with hematological malignancy, NEC should be considered as a possible cause. Inability to induce cytoreduction is inevitably fatal, although it is not known if this is as strong a marker of poor prognosis in NEC.

Watershed Facts
Name Origin: Derived from the Algonquin term adawe ("to trade"). The name was given to the tribe which controlled the trade of the river. The name was first applied to the river and then to the city. The French form is Outaouais. Formerly known as Kitche-sippi, La Grande Rivière or the Grand River.
Source: Lake Capimitchigama (QC): located 250 km north from Ottawa and 290 km northwest from Montreal in the Administrative Region of Outaouais. The nearest facility is Clova, a former forestry village that's now serving several outfitters' lodges. Clova is also a station of the Abitibi railway (ViaRail).
Length: 1,271 km (from source to mouth)
Loss of elevation: The river descends approximately 400m from an elevation of 430m at the headwaters to 20m at its mouth.
Flow as measured at Carillon Dam: Average flow: 1,950 m3/s, Historic minimum: 301 m3/sec in 1971, and Maximum flow: 8190 m3/sec in 1976
Area of drainage basin (watershed): 146,300 km2. Stretches from Shining Tree in the west to St. Jerome in the east; from Westport in the south to Launay in the north; from Algonquin to Aiquebelle, from Temiscaming to Tremblay. It is twice the size of New Brunswick and larger than many countries, including Greece, Portugal, Switzerland, England, Scotia, Bulgaria, Cuba, and Denmark.
Elevation extremes: Quebec: Mont-Tremblant (875m). Ontario: Ishpatina (693m).
Terrestrial Ecozones: Boreal Shields and Mixedwood Plains
Parks within the Watershed
Ontario: Lake Evelyn Smoothwater Provincial Park, Larder River Provincial Park, Mattawa River Provincial Park, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, Westmeath Provincial Park, Ottawa River Provincial Park, Algonquin Provincial Park, Upper Madawaska River Provincial Park, Lower Madawaska River Provincial Park, Lake St. Peter Provincial Park, Driftwood Provincial Park, Fitzroy Provincial Park, Bon Echo Provincial Park, Sharbot Lake Provincial Park, Rideau River Provincial Park, Silver Lake Provincial Park, Voyager Provincial Park and Murphy's Point Provincial Park.

Major Tributaries
Upper Ottawa River: Camachigama, Capitachouane, Chochouane, Darlens, Kinojéris, Blanquet and Wabi Creek.
From Lake Temiscaming to the mouth: Kipawa, Montreal, Mattawa (43 km), Petawawa (187 km), Bonnechere (145 km), Madawaska (230 km), Mississipi (169 km), Rideau (146 km), South Nation (161 km), Rigaud, Maganasipi, Dumoine (129 km), Noire, Coulonge (217 km), Gatineau (386 km), du Liévre (330 km), Blanche, Petit Nation (97 km) and Rouge (185 km).
Largest Islands: Allumet, Grand Calumet and Kettle
The Ottawa River is connected to: Lake Ontario by the Rideau Canal system and with the Upper Gatineau River by the diversion from the Cabonga Reservoir in the Gatineau River basin to the Dozois Reservoir (situated in the headwaters of the Ottawa River) through the Barrière dam. The Cabonga-Dozois diversion is opened in order to assure a minimum flow to satisfy the needs of hydroelectric production on the upper Ottawa River. The Mattawa River is a natural passage through the Algonquin Highlands between Lake Nipissing and the Ottawa River. It rises 3.5 km east of Lake Nipissing and flows east along an ancient fault line into the Ottawa River. At one point, the Mattawa River connected Lakes Superior and Huron to the Ottawa River.
Ecological Significance: The Ottawa River Valley is home to at least 24 provincially or nationally imperilled species, including Least Bittern, Spotted Turtle, and American Ginseng. Its microclimate, sand, and limestone substrate sustain rich wetland and forest habitats that support a diversity of flora and fauna. While the region is one of the most threatened landscapes in Canada, it hosts the most biologically diverse ecosystems in Québec. (Source: The Nature Conservancy)
The Ottawa River is also home to a unique and diverse fauna of freshwater mussels. This unique freshwater mussel fauna includes a minimum of 14 different species (27 % of the Canadian freshwater mussel fauna), each one linked to specific fish hosts which ensure the upstream and downstream dispersal of the mussel's specialized glochidia larvae. In many areas of the Ottawa River, the density of freshwater mussels on the bottom commonly exceeds 100 individuals per square metre. This is a very high value compared to other rivers in Eastern Canada. (Source: André Martel – Canadian Museum of Nature)

Irked with the Punjab Roadways Transport Corporation ( PRTC) for its re peated failure during past four years to pay hundreds of its employees their retirement benefits, the Punjab and Haryana high court has stopped release of salaries of its chairman, managing director and general manager till the release of pensionary benefits of retired employees.
Directions came from the court headed by justice Mahesh Grover on Wednesday on a bunch of 31 contempt petitions filed by Narinder Kumar and other retired PRTC employees.
It was on February 22 that justice Grover had granted the PRTC officials two months and a last chance to settle the pension claims of the petitioners.
Appearing for a large number of retired petitioners, advocate Vikas Chatrath infor med the court that despite the last oppor tunity granted by the court, PRTC officials had failed to ensure release of full pensionary benefits.
Justice Grover in his last order, while warning the authorities concerned had said, "It seems that the respondent corporation has developed a penchant for cushioning afforded by the cour t, little realising that this indulgence was given so that the claims of the petitioners could be satisfied without inconveniencing and jeopardising the overall interest of the corporation."
The case has now been posted for submission of status report by the PRTC on August 26.
The officials, whose salaries have been attached included general managers of all PRTC depots, managing director Bhupinder Singh Rai and the recently appointed PRTC chairman Avtar Singh Brar.
The of ficials won't be able to withdraw their salaries till further orders.
Giving a last chance to the PRTC management to settle pension claims on February 22, the high court had instructed the authorities concerned to release pending dues of their superannuated employees and strictly ordered them to make payments before May 7.
The high court had even made the Punjab government a party in the case by ordering to give over 45 crore of the g rantsin-aid to the PRTC for clearing some of its dues.
However, this is not for the first time the high court has taken such a decision as, in November 2010, besides salaries, cars of the officials were also attached.
PRTC of ficials said it has been estimated that the PRTC needed about 14 crore to clear pending dues of the complainants in the contempt cases before May 7 but the shortage of funds proved costlier for the authorities, making t he court to take harsher action against them.
Confirming the development, managing director Bhupinder Singh Rai said they have received the orders regarding the attachment of salaries on Wednesday morning.
"We have been taking up the matter with the chief minister's of fice re g arding the orders, while we are also taking legal suggestions over the decision," Rai said.
Rai added "The state government has already sanctioned a loan worth 35 crore, which we are hopeful of getting soon, to clear the dues of retired employees," he said.

Life-insurance Awareness Month may likely drop somewhere inside Nationwide Bath Safety Month (January, within the event you may be wondering) and Dog Peeve Week (October)., when there possess been acknowledged positions for neighborhood knowledge on most themed diary times throughout annually.
This June marks your tenth anniversary regarding LIAM, but, whilst your affair is actually famed amongst industry insiders, it's barely inside the actual radar for any significant section of everybody.
Brock Jolly, CFP, CLU, ChFC, CLTC, CASL, with regard to just one, want to alter that.
This existing yr, Jolly, the co-employee along with Capitol Finance Experts inside the actual D.C., region, utilized many LIAM-themed marketing resources accessible to suppliers and also stimulated his customers to just take into account numerous moments that June to be able to contemplate his or her life-insurance needs.
The payback? An up-tick in purchases along with evaluations, alongside using a couple of conversations that exposed some other needs, as an example long-term care insurance. The idea really isn't any surprise, then, in which Jolly's getting ready to start just precisely the same push again this season.
"If you're taking any glance inside your data, it's shocking how under-insured we're inside this country," he states. "It is my obligation to have that life-insurance dialog using each man we contact."
And that's loads of lives. Jolly has approximately 500 clients, mostly mass rich households and also experts, he assists together with opportunities and also insurance items alongside with the legal and taxation ramifications that bond. He specializes, notably, in helping mother and father buy his or her children's faculty education.

A number Of associated with the oldsters select the information and hang up it to perform together with by themselves; others recruit Jolly's assist and turn into clients. "Faculty fundraiser is finished . which in turn gets these inside the door, nevertheless we examine everything," he says.
Jolly additionally functions together corporate specialists along with small-business owners about pension problems. He and some university pals journeyed to Nepal and trekked to end up being able to Syangboche near the bottom associated with Mount Everest this previous year, where he discovered that "something such as 70% in the fatalities there occur on the right path back again down," he claims. The Actual encounter reminded him involving pension challenges and also influenced him to create any "Retirement Hill Adventure." The Particular program's white-papers as well as workshops assist his customers start to determine the submission in the "mountain" of pension assets they've accumulated.
Spreading your word
Whatever Jolly's customers are accessible in for, although, he's certain to speak together with them regarding lifeinsurance.
"I am a tremendous believer inside a myriad regarding insurance, however especially life insurance," he states. "A client could transfer their entire existence without having their property burning down or perhaps obtaining inside a vehicle accident. Nevertheless, it's impossible in order to continue the check involving one's very own own existence without having dying."

The Aid for Trade at a Glance 2009: Maintaining Momentum report presents the results of the second monitoring exercise of the Aid for Trade Initiative and documents its success so far.
English, , 1,388kb
The objective of this paper is to raise awareness among donors and partner countries of the potential contribution of trade to economic growth and development, the challenges of realising that potential, and the role of aid for trade in addressing those challenges.
All countries need to trade, with their neighbours and globally, to sustain long-term economic growth. Some low-income countries lack the instutitions, infrastructure to benefit from open markets and lift their people out of poverty.
How effective is aid at helping countries meet their own development objectives? Some of the answers can be found in this survey report which presents the results from the second, follow-up survey on monitoring the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.

The second Global Review of Aid for Trade demonstrates that despite the crisis, there is good news for developing countries: in 2007, total aid for trade reached USD 25.4 billion, USD 4.3 billion (21%) more than the 2005 baseline. Even so, World Bank estimates show that 53 million more people are expected to be living on less than USD 1.25 a day. And while a few countries have slightly reduced the targets they set in 2005 for 2010,

How should House and Senate Republicans react to the Trojan horse stimulus package proposed by the Obama administration?
In the name of economic stimulus, it not only has every item any liberal ever asked of Santa Claus on Christmas eve, it also contains the seeds of a permanent shift toward a European-style socialist democracy. Its dramatic exemption of more than half of Americans from paying federal income taxes (it is now about one-third who don't pay them) and its generosity in awarding this voting majority a welfare check — called a refundable tax credit — moves the politics of taxation sharply to the left. The federal government's acquisition of preferred stock in virtually all our major banks sets the stage for full nationalization. After all, if the feds are using their "preferred" status to hog all the dividends, why should any private person buy bank stock?
By demanding that Citibank cancel its plans to buy a private jet, the Obama administration is tapping into a justified populist anger against the greed, privilege, stupidity and sense of entitlement of the Wall Street biggies. But he is also setting the precedent for government control over the actions of private banks. If Obama extends his power to the selection of management and policies regarding the lending of money, nationalization will become a de facto reality. And once the government controls the banks, it controls the economy. At best, we will have a Japanese system where winks and nods from bureaucrats turn industrial policy upside-down; at worst, we will have outright federal control, with government-appointed latter-day Blagojeviches determining who gets loans and who doesn't.
With only 41 votes in the Senate and a distant minority in the House, what should Republicans do in the face of this onslaught against the basic free-market, private-enterprise system?
The answer is for the Republicans to caucus and come up with a Free Enterprise Amendment to add to the stimulus package. The amendment should spell out what the government may not do in influencing the policy of private banks. It should, for example, make it illegal for the feds to urge certain lending policies on banks or to suggest specific loans that might be granted. It should enjoin the feds from intervening in decisions on who should manage various aspects of bank operations. The idea would be to cordon off large parts of the private sector, even in subsidized institutions, to bar public federal government influence.
A well-drawn amendment would be akin to the protections in the Bill of Rights against government intervention in certain activities such as religion, press, speech, petitioning and assembly. It would lay down markers indicating what the feds may not do.
This amendment could draw strong support from Democrats and might even be negotiable with the Obama administration. Democrats are not anxious to be labeled as the party of socialism, and Republicans, who know the stimulus package will pass anyway, are looking for a way to, at minimum, influence it. Sitting on the sidelines and voting no is not the way to win friends and influence people.
If moderate Democrats and the administration prove truculent or overly limited in what they will accept, the Free Enterprise Amendment gives the Republican Party a place to stand in a filibuster. To filibuster merely to reduce the size of the stimulus or to influence the mix of the tax cuts or the specifics of the spending would not appeal to an America in shellshock over the depression. But a strong stand — refusing to allow the stimulus package to come up for a vote — in order to make sure that our economy remains private and that socialism does not come inside the Trojan horse makes a great deal of sense and will be seen by the American people as a wise use of power by the Republicans. Rather than asking the Republicans why they won't pass the stimulus package, they will ask Obama why he does not accede to so acceptable an amendment.
And the amendment, once passed, will be worth its weight in stopping bureaucrats from crossing lines that should not be crossed. One can easily see the day when prosecutions for violations of this amendment become commonplace.

Today's fan share comes from Maria of Butterfly Kisses Photography. She writes, "Using my own wedding photos (provided by Jamie Lee Photography) I used the Photo Booth Templates to create this album. I used some of them as they were, but also created other ways to use them. I made some bigger, different collages on different pages, and I angled the photo booth strips on some pages for a different look. I left the pages white for a clean look, but added some blue swirls to bring in some color and another design element. I also used the speech bubbles that came with the purchase of the template. I used WHCC to print a 8x8 lay flat book which was a perfect size for this album. It was so much fun to design and it was very easy and automated. All I did was choose which photo for which spot and centered it where I wanted it. The speech bubbles were a blast to play around with and adding them to some the best and funniest photos."
Thanks for the great share, Maria! Your $75 gift certificate is on the way~
We love these for weddings, events and proms! Or, you can use them to showcase your work for venues and marketing.

Price explains a biblical and experientially based method of prayer. It will provoke assurance and confidence that God hears your prayers and answers them. Most Christians struggle with their commitment to prayer and wrestle with a proper prayer attitude even posture. Price debunks the teaching on prayer that says, Sometimes God says yes, sometimes He says no, and sometimes He says wait. He teaches how God responds to faith and faith alone, and why it is critical for us to understand how to pray in faith and not in doubt, ignorance, or presumption.

William Backhouse Astor Sr.
Monthly Forecast for May 2017
William Backhouse Astor Sr. is a male celebrity.
He was born on Wednesday September 19th 1792, in Unknown.
May 2017 is a 7 Personal Month in a 2 Personal Year for William Backhouse Astor Sr.. This combination leads to powerful self-discoveries and intuitive perceptions. It is a highly spiritual time, causing William to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life. His focus is inward, and Sr. finds himself contemplating the mystery of his own existence, his purpose in life, and his direction.
William Backhouse Astor Sr. finds himself taking time off to read and meditate. His interests are spiritual, not worldly. It is an excellent time to take a vacation, as long as William avoids group-activities.
Social demands will make Sr. irritable and out of sorts. He needs to be with himself or enjoy meaningful discussions with someone close to him. This way, William Backhouse Astor Sr. may deepen his marriage or romantic relationship.
It is a time for wisdom and insights, even premonitions and revelations that have little to do with intellectual effort, but are the result of heightened awareness and a free-flowing channel between William's sub-conscious and his conscious.
Sr. has to be particularly alert to his dreams and the direction and insight they offer.
Let's see now what Sunday, May 28th 2017 has in-stored for William.
You and William
About William's Personal Month Cycle
Just as William Backhouse Astor Sr. evolves through a nine-year cycle, he also experiences nine-month cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year cycle. The Personal Month cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year cycle does. The numbers within the monthly cycles have a similar, though less pronounced, impact on William than the yearly cycle has.
