Chapter Three
A few hours later, and by 6:30 Drew had dyed his hair a deep black and I had set some brown rice and a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a rice cooker and set in to be finished in two hours. Then I started to do my long and hard Pre. Calculus homework.
A few minutes later Drew sat down next to me on the sofa after having spent the last five minutes checking to make sure that he had got every last blond hair from the top of his scalp to his eyebrows.
"When is that due?"
"Next week."
"Then why are you working on it?"
"Because I'm the type of person that does work when I get it."
"Fine." slouching down he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" turned on.
"Can you please turn it off?"
"Nope." Drew's eyes where glued to the TV.
"Fine." I slammed my book close and grabbed the remote from him.
"Hay is for horses and cows too."
"Can you pass me the remote?"
"Can you give me a good reason why I should."
"Because you love me."
"I love you enough to say 'no.'" I stood up
"Clarie, please give me the remote." Drew started to stand up
"No." And with that Drew stood up and lunged at me. Squealing with laughter I tried to get out of the way, but his long arms grabbed me and in tackled me. Landing on the ground didn't hurt. But what did hurt was when he pined me down, making sure that I couldn't move my arms or legs.
"Ha. I've got you and now I can do whatever I want to you."
"But you won't."
Drew's eyes got an evil look. "Who ever said that I won't? I said I can do whatever I want to you." I couldn't help it I let out a squeak of fear. "But I won't. Since after all, you are to wonderful, perfect and beautiful to hurt." Drew took the remote from me and stood up. Just as Drew bent down to help me up a loud knock sounded on the door.
"Who could that be?"
"What time is it?" I tried to see the clock that was on top of the TV. But apparently being on the ground makes it hard to see things up high.
"That's the detectives! Drew help me up please."
Drew helped me up and I jogged to the door. Opening the door I saw the worried expressions of both Detectives.
"Are you all right Miss Jones? We heard yelling." Detective Anderson asked his eyes scanning my face.
"Yes I am alright. I was just yelling at my boyfriend to help me up."
"You have a boyfriend?" Detective Button asked.
"Yes I do. Now would you please come in?"
"Yes we will. Do we have to take off our shoes?"
"Just wipe the bottom of your soles on the mat and you won't have to."
"Alright." Both detectives came in and did as I had asked. Then leading them into the living room Drew stood up.
"I guess I'll be leaving then."
"If you don't mind we would also like to ask you any questions." Detective Anderson said as he sat on the rocking chair.
Drew sat back down after giving the detectives a look of distrust and patted the seat next to him and I walked over. The only one to remain standing, even though there where enough seats for all of us to sit, was Detective Button and he started the interrogation.
"Clair, how long have you known Emma?"
"Ever since we were ten."
"So that would be about eleven years then?"
"Was there anything that she did that would make any one hate her or even want to kill her?" He pulled out a note pad.
"No. She was a very peaceful person. She didn't like to argue but when she did she was always right."
"Yes. Emma was more of the quiet type. She enjoyed listening and gathering information about everything she could."
"I see. Did she have any siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins?"
"She didn't have any siblings. She had two aunts, three uncles and about six cousins that were around her same age and one around three."
"What about her parents?"
"Her mom was from Oregon and her dad was from Texas. They met when they both were at UVU. Her mom was a freshman and her dad was a junior at the time. They got married when her dad finished collage and she was born five years and twelve days after her mom graduated from UVU."
"How many friends did Emma have growing up?"
"It was around ten."
"Ya. Emma was always shy around people and most of the time she was reading."
"How did you to become friends."
"We became friends when I 'rescued' her from the class bully."
"Did she have a boyfriend?"
"One. He moved to Thailand. And then...Oh, never mind"
"What? Why?"
"It was only him and his dad. His dad was in the military and he'd always take him."
"Did he have any family?"
"It was only him, his mom and dad."
"You just mentioned his mom. What happened to her?"
"All I know is that she died in a car crash when he was six. That's all he ever said about her."
"I see. So what about the "never mind"?"
"Oh, this past week I thought maybe she had a new boyfriend, but she never mentioned anything and now... well... it doesn't matter."
"Why was Emma out last night?" Detective Anderson asked and this time it was Drew who spoke up.
"Emma had this thing where once a week she would go out at night and spend some time with just herself. She would usually go and see a movie or go to a free concert. It was her way of saying 'Good job in school.'"
"And you know this because?"
"We followed her once since we couldn't think of anything to do that night."
"Where did she go?"
"She went to 'Shakespeare in the Park.'"
"Which is?"
"A group of people put on one of Shakespeare's plays and preform it in the park in front of an audience."
"What was the play?"
For the next half hour they questioned me and Drew about Emma. Finally after what felt like a lifetime they left. I had just closed the door and the timer for dinner beeped.
"Hungry?" I asked Drew as I went into the kitchen to serve up dinner.
"Enough to eat a medium sized Elephant."

Hazy headlights are not only unattractive, they can prevent your headlights from illuminating the road properly, leaving you, quite literally, in the dark. In most cases, the cloudy appearance of your headlights is caused by oxidization and road grime build-up. Several deoxidization solutions are available at auto parts retailers to simplify the cleaning process to remove the oxidization build-up quickly and easily. Applying these solutions is simple enough for anyone to do and requires very little time and elbow grease.
Things You'll Need
- Acrylic lens deoxidizer liquid (such as Pittman's Original One Step or Blackfire One Step, Plastic Cleaner, Polish & Glaze)
- clean, dry cloth towels
- soap and water
Deoxidizing Headlights
Clean the entire lens with soap and water then wipe dry.
Place a small amount of deoxidizer liquid onto a clean, dry cloth and apply to the lens using smooth, broad motions.
Wipe away any excess liquid with a clean, dry cloth and repeat if necessary.
Tips & Warnings
- Just as waxing your car will only protect it for a short period of time, deoxidizer liquids are not permanent fixes for headlight deoxidization. You will need to reapply this solution later as oxidization build-up occurs. Sanding and buffing your headlights can be effective as well, but requires more time and skill to accomplish. Improperly using a sanding-type kit can result in costly damages to the headlight's surfaces, so proceed with caution.

The soloist is Hilary Hahn, a vivacious US artist with a contemporary twist who blogs between gigs and hangs out with the rising folk rocker Josh Ritter, whom some regard as the next Bob Dylan. The covert aim of Hahn's record is to win converts for Schoenberg through a Sibelius bait and, after six weeks on top of the Billboard charts, it seems to be working. This is the oldfashioned record business at its best - the way classical labels used to operate in the golden age, extending public taste by pairing the well-known with the unknown through the impassioned advocacy of a dazzling star.
One look at this week's charts and you'd be tempted to think that all is well in the classical dovecote and the doomsayers have got it wrong again. But check the bottom line and the gloom is unconfined. Insiders at Universal, which released Hahn on the Deutsche Grammophon label, tell me she is selling no more than 500 CDs a week in the world's biggest market. At this rate, it will take her two years to earn back the company's investment - assuming she can stay top until Easter 2010. Ten places below, record sales are dribbling along at a few dozen a week. Classical recording is no longer a business. The only way to make money is to pay musicians next to nothing for their work, or nothing at all.
A year ago, Penguin published my combined history and obituary of the classical recording industry, Maestros, Masterpieces and Madness. In a swift response, labels covered up with a glut of summer releases and a wealthy German proprietor sued the publisher for alleged defamation. This week, the book appears in paperback with some changes but its general truth uncontested. Like it or not, music - both classical and pop - is going off the record, and nobody in authority knows where on earth it is going next.
While the headlines are grabbed by a Rolling Stones threat to quit EMI and the breakup of the Sony-BMG alliance, behind glass walls the talk is about transforming the record industry into something else - before it is too late. "I don't want to hear the term 'record label' around here," declares one senior aide to Guy Hands, whose Terra Firma investment group bought EMI. One of the strategic lines being explored by EMI is to run live music events on the internet. As a token of classical confidence, the company is recording its first opera in four years - Madam Butterfly with Angela Gheorghiu and Jonas Kaufmann, in Rome, conducted by Antonio Pappano. "We are not allowed to call ourselves a record label," says one EMI veteran, "but we will continue to be a music provider."
At EMI's rivals, the pace of change is more aggressive. Two months ago, a pair of agents at IMG Artists, Jeffrey Vanderveen and Manfred Seipt, went missing without leave. A fortnight later, they turned up at Universal, hand in hand with their hot artists Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon, Karita Mattila and Thomas Hampson. Universal, it seemed, was turning into a talent management agency. But before Vanderveen and Seipt could try out their swing chairs, Universal was hit by a lawsuit which prevents the defectors from working until the New York Supreme Court rules on a raft of IMG accusations that include criminal conspiracy and theft (and you thought classical music was a genteel sport).
Meanwhile, all is in limbo. A retired IMG man, Tom Graham, was lured off the golf course for a reputed $250,000 to keep the singers calm, while lawyers warn of further conflicts of interest. Universal, as a music producer, tries to hire artists cheaply. As artists' manager, it is legally bound to demand the highest fee. Someone, soon, is going to feel short-changed, and then we'll hear high Cs in court.
Villazon, who took the winter off to recover from stress, has underwhelmed Covent Garden on his return. Netrebko, last seen in the March issue of Playboy magazine, has gone off to have a baby with her Uruguayan baritone boyfriend Erwin Schrott, who is being sued for non-appearance at a London recital last week - yet another blustery symptom of classical climate change. Restive, fractious singers are never going to make loyal corporate employees. Universal's bid looks doomed before it has begun.
The third classical giant, Sony-BMG, is unravelling by the week. Label chief Chris Craker has departed and no new records are being signed. Craker had gone for young Baltic talent like the promising Skrida sisters; they are left dangling in an ill wind.
Which is not to say that classical recording has ceased altogether. One of the best studio engineers in town tells me he has never been busier. His diary is packed with small-label bookings and artists' self-productions - none of which, he grins, is going to make money, but the activity keeps the professionals at work and the public in an illusion of continuous production. The rush of work amounts, he says, to "a bizarre microcosm" of the present state of classical affairs, where musicians no longer want money for making records - only a little publicity.
So is this, I wonder, the final spin, the last twirl of Edison's invention before everything goes online for ever more? Some are certainly pulling down the shutters but I am not convinced that the disc is about to disappear, given the fragility of the alternatives.
Over the past two years, iPods have proved increasingly fallible. When they crash, they risk wiping out every piece of music in your pocket. Most sensible music lovers keep CDs as back-up for that eventuality. Record companies are responding with huge compendia releases at a giveaway price - the complete Vaughan Williams (EMI) and Handel (Warner) at around £1 a disc.
This is where the disc remains indispensable - as an archival tool, a museum catalogue, a household object that contains the greatest moments of a century of musical civilisation. Old records never die - even scratchy LPs have found an unexpected afterlife in club culture and experimental music. The old-fashioned record business is almost dead but the compact disc will play on, and on, and on.

Pope Francis projected empathy with Palestinian suffering and made a foray into Middle East diplomacy on Sunday during a visit to Bethlehem.
On his way to celebrate Mass in Manger Square, near the traditional site of Jesus's birth, the head of the Roman Catholic Church made a powerful gesture to Palestinians by praying and touching his head to the daunting, grey, Israeli separation barrier that divides Bethlehem from Jerusalem and which, to Palestinians, is the embodiment of Israeli oppression.
The Pope will spend Monday, the last day of his three-day trip to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority, in Jerusalem visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and the Western Wall – Judaism's holiest site. He will hold a Mass at the traditional site of the Last Supper and hold talks with Israeli President Shimon Peres, and Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Vatican's official spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi. said the pontiff invited the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, to the Vatican and pray for peace with him and Mr Peres.
"I offer my home in the Vatican as the place of prayer. All of us, especially those at the service of their people, have the duty to become artisans of peace especially by our prayers. Building peace is difficult but living without it is a torment," Mr. Lombardi quoted the pontiff as saying.
Later, both Mr Abbas and Mr Peres confirmed that they would meet the Pope in the Vatican next month.
The pope also visited Bethlehem's Dehaishe Refugee Camp, where children greeted him with songs and gifts expressing their longing for homes in what became Israel that their forebears lost during the 1948 war in which they fled or were expelled.''Please look always for the future, have hope in the future,''the pontiff told them. ''It's very important to know that violence only brings violence. You can only succeed with peace.''
If the pope meets Mr. Abbas and Mr. Peres as expected next month, he will be preaching to the converted. The dovish Mr. Peres, who has only ceremonial powers, and Mr. Abbas reached an outline peace deal two years ago in secret talks. The pope did not invite hard line Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pray with Mr. Abbas because ''it would be too political with Netanyahu''said Jamal Daibes, spokesman for the pontiff's Holy Land visit.
For Palestinians, the most resonant part of the visit was at the separation barrier. The pope descended from his protective vehicle to approach the barrier, a structure Israel says is needed to keep out suicide bombers but which for Palestinians signifies how occupation cages them in..''The pope remained in silent prayer for 3,4, 5 minutes at the wall, touched it with his head, then went away,'' Father Lombardi said.
Fadi Salameh, a 27-year-old tourism worker who attended the mass, said this was ''extremely positive. It shows he identifies with the suffering of all the people. He's making the world a better place'' he said
Mr. Abbas said he had briefed the pope on ''obstacles'' the Israelis were setting to peace, foremost among them the settlements which many observers blame for undermining the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations that collapsed last month. While Israel blames Mr. Abbas for the talks failure, the pope termed him a ''man of peace.''

In pictures: 'The many popes of Pope Francis'
1/12 The Pro-Gay Pope
In just a year, Pope Francis has managed to change the public perception of the Catholic Church, and the stance it takes on civil issues, like gay rights. Despite originally protesting the legalisation of gay marriage in his native Argentina some years ago, he told reporters this year: "If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?"

2/12 The Rebel Pope
No other Pope has urged a shake-up of the Catholic Church quite like Pope Francis, a true rebel of the dioceses. Who, incidentally, used to be a night club bouncer.

3/12 The Graffiti Pope
Pope Francis become... SUPER POPE in this Vatican-approved street art. But was he happy with the reference to the fictional DC comic character?"To depict the pope as a sort of superman, a sort of star, seems offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps tranquilly and has friends like everyone else, a normal person," he said. So, that's a no, then.
4/12 The Biker Pope
Yes, the Pope used to own a Harley Davidson. And yes, he auctioned it off this year and donated the proceeds to a charity that feeds the hungry in Rome. Very Papal.
5/12 The 'Blue' Pope
Dropping the 'F' bomb during Sunday service? Classic Pope Francis. Sadly, down to a Spanish-speaking slip of the Italian language rather than pure bad-assery.
6/12 The 'Because I'm Worth It' Pope
That awkward moment when your Papal hat blows off, forcing your barnet into Sesame Street-like spikes. Pope Francis has been there.
7/12 The Chocolate Pope
Imagine the Pope's delight (horror?) when he was presented with a giant chocolate replica of himself outside the Vatican by by students on a chocolatier course at the Accademia of Maestri Cioccolatieri, near Venice.
EPA/Osservatore Romano
8/12 The Rock Star pope
The one and only religious leader ever to grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine? Introducing... Pope Francis.
9/12 The People's Pope
His U-turn attitude towards sexuality won him Time magazine's coveted Person of the Year accolade, and the cover of gay rights magazine The Advocate.
10/12 The Merchandise Pope
Thongs, mugs, onesies, earrings and even a baby mobile adorned with decapitated Pope heads, the 'Francis Effect' has seen sales of Papal merchandise soar by 200% over the last year.
11/12 The Fashion Pope
The only Pope, as far as we're aware, to be compared to fashion royalty (Karl Lagerfeld. Yes way.) and win Esquire's Most Stylish Man of 2013 award, too.
12/12 The Modern Pope
Let it be said, Pope Francis knows a thing or two about social media. He might be a way off 'doing a Dalai' and opting for Instagram, but he's not above posing for the odd 'Selfie' on Twitter.
But speaking at the presidential palace in Bethlehem, Pope Francis avoided directly blaming Israel for the impasse as his hosts would have wanted. '' The time has come for everyone to find the courage to be generous and creative in the service of the common good, to have the courage to forge a peace which rests on the acknowledgment by all of the right of two states to exist and to live in peace and security within internationally recognized borders,'' he said.
At the mass Christians who came from all over the West Bank, Gaza and inside Israel said the papal visit was giving a boost to the dwindling Christian minority, vastly outnumbered by its Moslem and Christian neighbors. ''This is encouraging Christians and giving them strength.'' said Suhair Makhoul, a social worker from the northern Israeli city of Acre.
A highlight of the trip was scheduled for late on Sunday when the pope was due to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of the world's orthodox Christians to push forward inter-church conciliation.
* Francis's trip has already been marked by controversy, as earlier Israeli police confirmed they arrested 26 Jewish nationalists who took part in a protest at the Cenacle in Jerusalem, the traditional site of Jesus's Last Supper, where the Pope is due to hold mass.
The protesters say the authorities are preparing to hand the Church the site, where some Jews believe King David is buried. The Israeli government has denied any such deal.
Israel has blamed the Palestinian president for the failure of the latest peace talks, but today, standing alongside Abbas, Francis pointedly referred to him as "a man of peace and a peacemaker".Reuse content

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Plenty of plans have weeks where the long run is run at marathon pace on certain weeks for part of the run. e.g. Pfitzinger & Douglas 55-70 plan has several weeks. Example - 5 weeks out, 18miles with 14m @ MP.
Within my own long runs I incorporate several paces, and will do extended periods at marathon pace every few weeks. It helps to get a feel for the pace and can let you know where you are in your training.
I agree, blocks a marathon pace is a good idea. Things like easy first 10M at MP + 30s then second 10M @ MP. Or my favourite 26M with miles 15-20 @ MP - 10s per miles and 20-25 @ MP. Loads of a variations, but getting used to running MP on tired legs helps everytime.
Also I'm interested at the peak mileage of 21M, I tend to complete 5 or more at 22+ and tend not to run out of gas, just a thought

Looking for something great to read this summer? Next year? Look no further! The Millions recently posted their most anticipated books for the rest of 2011, and I have to say, the list is nothing short of impressive. I picked out a few reviews that caught my eye especially (several happen to be nerdy/sci-fi/fantasy oriented because that's what I like; the list covers plenty of genres), but definitely take a look on your own. What are you looking forward to?
A Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five by George R. R. Martin: The hit HBO show has made Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" the sweeping fantasy epic mostly likely to be discussed at your nearest cocktail party. While the HBO fans may have a ways to go before they're ready for book five, true fantasy connoisseurs, for whom Martin's series is the current ne plus ultra of the form, have been eagerly, even impatiently, awaiting this new installment. The latter group will eagerly devour Dragons and begin clamoring for books six and seven, still forthcoming. -Max
The Magician King by Lev Grossman: In The Magicians, Grossman introduced the magical world of Fillory, where hipster magician-from-Brooklyn Quentin is now a king, along with a few of his friends from magical college. Allusions to Hogwarts and Narnia abound, but no homage is paid, as Grossman's sequel continues his dark, nuanced look at magical life and the wizards who lead it. Quentin and his friends are lazily soaking up their royal luxury until an enchanted ship takes him to the last place he thought he'd ever return: Massachusetts. -Janet
(Ok, this one's cheating, I read it already. It's great, you should read it too!)
Reamde by Neal Stephenson: Is there anything Neal Stephenson can't do? Snow Crash is a cyberpunk classic. Cryptonomicon tackled code-breaking and cryptography. Anathem was speculative fiction teeming with holy wars, global catastrophes, mathematics and techno miracles. Now comes Reamde, the story of a draft dodger named Richard Forthrast who makes a bundle selling marijuana and becomes addicted to an online fantasy game that puts him in touch with Chinese gold farmers. Only trouble is, Richard gets caught in the deadly crossfire of his own fantasy war game. Fans who have come to expect a lot of meat on the bones of a Stephenson novel won't be disappointed by Reamde – which weighs in at 960 pages. -Bill
The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides: For Eugenides fans, October is a long time coming. Nine years after the publication of Middlesex, The Marriage Plot (The Millions took an exclusive look at the first lines), will deal, in Eugenides' own words with "religion, depression, the Victorian novel, and Roland Barthes" (also Mother Teresa). Unlike the multi-generational Middlesex, The Marriage Plot sticks close to 1982, following three college graduates as they wander around the Eastern Seaboard and Calcutta thinking about love and novels and one another. Eugenides has shown that he can work across material, space, time (and page length). As we move toward the publication date I anticipate a buzz frenzy, and I can't wait. -Lydia

2017 Star Wars Saga Wall Calendar
Together We Will Rule the Year
- The fastest calendar in the galaxy!
- Just kidding, it's the same speed as all 2017 calendars
- 16-month 2017 calendar (includes 1-page Sept-Dec 2016)
Together We Will Rule the YearPlease tell us the Empire instituted a calendar system that makes sense. Our Gregorian calendar system here on Earth is just a mess. 12 different months, named for things in a base-10 system (how is October our 10th month?!?), differing in length from 28-31 days, and don't even get us started on Leap Day. That sort of chaos can't fly when you're ruling over an entire galaxy of systems and planets.
While we're stuck here on Earth with our wacky Gregorian calendar, at least it can be one that reminds us a more civilized age in a galaxy far, far away. Featuring photos and quotes from the original trilogy in full color on FSC-certified paper, this wall calendar measures 11 1/2 inches by 23 inches (opened). Keep track of 2017 (and the last four months of 2016) as you count down the days until Rogue One comes out.

Justin Thomas' girlfriend Jillian seems like a lovely young woman. She's in a relationship with a self-confirmed mama's boy, according to Justin. On Mother's Day, Justin said he's never too far from his mom. Justin and Jillian's most recent documented outing together was a trip to Churchill Downs in May. They watched the horsies run around the track and dressed up in fancy clothes. People dress fancy because the horses (and tickets) are expensive. That's the theory, anyway.
Justin Thomas' girlfriend also hit up a Lakers game with him a few months back, and they ran into Floyd Mayweather. That was one week after they celebrated both Valentine's Day and Jillian's birthday on a bar-hopping rager. A short while before that, Jillian accompanied Mr. Thomas on an adventure to Baker's Bay. Since they have no kids, it's no problem traveling wherever the Tour wants to take them. Good lord, Baker's Bay looks nice. It's a 3-mile long bay on the island of Great Guana Cay. I believe it's part of the Bahamas. That's just one of a series of amazing locales these guys hit up for Justin's PGA competition. For instance, a week or two before Baker's, they were at a place called Cliff House in San Francisco. Now, I wouldn't exactly call San Fran "amazing," but getting to go there to play golf professionally is amazing.
The couple seems to get along really well with other PGA couples. This is kind of a big deal because there's a high level of fraternizing between players and their loved ones in professional golf. Justin Thomas' girlfriend Jillian was thrilled for his win in Kuala Lumpur at the start of the year too. She was not in attendance, sadly. Justin mentioned how rugged the flight is (it takes a LONG time). You can guess why she skipped it. As for eastern hemisphere endeavors, she's rarely absent. They even hang out with caddies at pro basketball games when the tour events are over.

Chapter I: The Chainborn Boy [14]Mature
The majihan sighed, weary of many things, this one more. He didn't bother to chastise Anala – who was checking her back for a nub – grabbing hold of his braid over his shoulder. It was held in shape by a heavy, golden ring with a large black jewel. As he slipped it on his middle finger, Anala felt his magickal energy change. It no longer felt familiar to her – like snow on warm skin or hot tea in the pit of her stomach. It had magnified to a smothering power that filled the air like the tremors before an earthquake.
He placed his hand on the door, and with a low-pitched hum from the ring, they heard the sound of every lock unbolting obediently, one by one. Then the door shuddered and fell forward, clattering on the floor with a puff of dust. Anala couldn't will herself to speak as they stepped inside, her mouth open in awe as her uncle replaced the ring in his hair. She had coveted it simply because it was attractive, unaware of its power, and now a desire of a different sort lit up inside her.
The room was cavernous and resembled a bubble of mud and stone erupting out of the ground. All the furniture had been crafted out of driftwood gathered from the Grey Shore, fixed with moss, vines and other salvaged materials. A steep and narrow staircase led up to the attic, whilst the ground floor contained everything. There was a bathing and washing area in the corner without a roof, consisting of a large barrel full of dish water and floating crockery, alongside a chipped, footless bathtub. The kitchen was a corner of drawers and cabinets, whilst the left half of the room was a living space. Three beaten-down sofas stained yellowish with projecting springs surrounded a low table and a stone fireplace with a cauldron and flue.
It was not the grandeur they knew.
Anala tried to remember what the highborn ladies had told her as she looked around at poverty and deprivation – "it's the price of crime, dear one." Her heart hardened half to stone.

Country: New Zealand,
Type: Teaching & Education, Working with children,
Work as a Music Teacher Assistant, with opportunity to teach a number of different musical instruments, singing, and more. You can also teach Drama, English or other subjects, if you'd like to. You'll work one-to-one and in small groups with the children to assist them with their music and really give them the attention they need. There are many ethnic children from the underprivileged communities, as well as those from many different communities and countries (Maori, Somalia, Tonga and Samoa). These children come from lower socio-economic backgrounds, so your teaching can help them integrate into the normal Kiwi culture!
As an Assistant to the Music Teacher, you'll have the opportunity to work one-to-one and in small groups with the children to assist them with their music and really give them the attention they need.
Class sizes vary between 20 and 30 children in each class and you'll teach children between the ages of 5 and 18, depending on which school you're at.
You'll be involved in teaching a number of different instruments and groups:
The lessons you'll teach generally last for 40 minutes and the school day runs from around 8:55 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Your working day will be around 4 to 5 hours of teaching and preparing for your lessons.
The Music project runs from Monday- Friday, or 3 days per week, depending on which school you are at. At Owairaka you would have the opportunity to help 2 days per week as an assistant teacher in normal lessons.
The school dates for 2014 are:
Term 1: 27th Jan / 7th Feb –17th April
Term 2: 5th May – 4th July
Term 3: 21st July – 26th Sep
Term 4: 13th Oct – 19th Dec

Anyone working with children and/or vulnerable adults is required to complete a Criminal Records Check (CRC) as part of their application process. We'll provide you with the necessary papers and take you through the process.
You'll live in a centrally located hostel that is friendly and relaxing, making it ideal for long-term stays. You will be sharing a room with other volunteers. There is a communal kitchen and storage area for cooking meals and plenty of space to relax.
Entertainment at your accommodation includes cheap internet access, TV and free pool table. You are literally a stroll from the Sky Tower, harbor and waterfront.
Accommodation is very central and close to the main train station and shopping district. Buses are also only a few minutes away to take you to parts of Auckland and New Zealand or to the many other 'things to do'!
Food is not provided on this project, but Auckland has restaurants to suit all tastes - the most popular cuisine is New Zealand lamb which can be ordered at many restaurants around the city and is well worth it. For meals in local restaurants, a trip to Auckland's inner city centre is well worth the effort - it bustles with activity and offers a range of choices of restaurants.
The city centre boasts great shopping, restaurants and pubs or head over to the viaduct for more pubs, nightclubs and multicultural cuisine. You'll get to work via bus, which is close to your accommodation.

New research from the Equal Opportunities Commission found that developmental problems could be blamed on fathers who did not take time off work for the birth of their baby.
In its report, The State of the Modern Family, the EOC added that many low-paid fathers could not afford to take time off their job and called on the Government to do more to help poorer families.
Commission chairman Jenny Watson said: "Fathers in poorer families are less able to afford two weeks paternity leave ... we need to give families more choice about childcare and work flexibility."Reuse content

<-----: Official flag of Syrian Turkmen (!) as declared by the official governing body of Turkmen in Syria, the Syrian Turkmen Assembly on 25th November 2015.
A random choice, a display of arrogance or........... a hidden nod to the true masters and agenda of the ME chaos?
Return of the King
Syrian Turkmen Brigades, also called the Syrian Turkmen Army, (Turkish: Suriye Türkmen Ordusu/Cephesi) is an armed opposition structure of Syrian Turkmens and the military wing of the Syrian Turkmen Assembly, primarily fighting against the Syrian Armed Forces and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and regionally People's Protection Units (YPG)
On November 24, 2015 a Russian Su-24 fighter was shot down by Turkish forces for allegedly violating Turkish airspace, near the Syrian border. The aircraft crashed on Syrian land. The two pilots ejected and were shot at in the air while using their parachutes by the Syrian Turkmen Brigades

FAA bars drones from stadiums and racetracks
J Thoendell stashed this in Tech
Source: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/...
The Federal Aviation Administration has blocked plans for a small drone to deliver the game football for the University of Michigan kickoff Saturday against the University of Utah before a crowd of about 110,000 fans.
The FAA's move is the latest example of flight regulators blocking the use of small drones for commercial purposes, despite the questionable legal authority for them to do so. The drone, built by Ann Arbor-based SkySpecs, was supposed to participate in a pre-game program of the American football game to celebrate the University of Michigan's 100-year anniversary of its aerospace-engineering program.
Bloomberg News said that after the FAA explained its rules, "the school backed down."
Hobbyists may fly the small drones under guidelines adopted by the agency, and they must be flown away from crowds. Both Google and Amazon are testing drone-delivery programs for commercial purposes, but federal law bans those business models for now.
Stashed in: Flying!, Drones!, @iamjohnoliver
You know, it might not be a bad thing that regulators try to keep some of our airspace clear of drones.
Some drones are dangerous, and some violate privacy.
and noisy... our skies full of buzzy annoying other people's drones

The young adult demographic is up across the board on NFL telecasts on Bell-owned CTV and TSN in 2016
CTV News said Solomon — who allegedly used his CBC position to broker lucrative art deals — will host the national show when it resumes in September

In a new book on Canada's Senate, J. Patrick Boyer recounts the former broadcaster's long campaign to receive a seat in Canada's Red Chamber
Foley is of the opinion that the obituaries for the multi-camera sitcom were written far too soon
The broadcaster says it's not renewing the Toronto-shot sitcom for a second season due to low ratings
In the hunt for evidence about Sen. Mike Duffy, Nigel Wright and a backroom deal struck in the Prime Minister's Office to repay Duffy's expenses, the RCMP has repeatedly tried to glean information from a senior television journalist.

Pookutty said that if the Cultural Department has plans to organise workshops, he is happy and ready to co-operate in such ventures. "I am sad that Slumdog Millionaire did not win an award for sound design, though it won Oscar for sound-mixing. It is not my achievement alone. I had the honour to work with two other greats in the field including Richard Pryke and Ian Tapp. The shooting of Slumdog Millionaire was difficult. We had worked on a new recording method in the movie. It was different as the recording was natural," he said.
Fazal Gafoor, president of Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce, presided over the function, which was attended by many eminent personalities, including director Sibi Malayil.

Akon, Gabrielle offer support to Rihanna
However, after much of speculation over the incident, Brown has publicly said that he was 'saddened' by the incident, which left Rihanna needing hospital treatment. Gabrielle Union, who is a mutual pal of Rihanna and Brown, has asked Rihanna to stay strong, and is hoping the high profile case will make people rally against domestic violence.
"I know them both. Unfortunately, no one knows all the facts yet what I think is great about this unfortunate situation is it can get us talking about violence, violence is never the answer. It's good to get that dialogue started. I wish this wasn't the catalyst for that it's never good to use violence as a means to an end," Contactmusic quoted Gabrielle as saying.
While Gabrielle has asked Rihanna to stay strong, Akon has asked her not to lose positivism in life. "Keep doing what you're doing baby. Keep things positive! She's a strong woman. I think she'll get through it," Akon said.
Meanwhile, other celebrities like Jay-Z and Jessica Alba have also offered support to Rihanna, who has gone into hiding after the incident.

A federal judge threw out a spurious lawsuit by serial atheist litigant Michael Newdow. Yet in reporting the story in its January 16 print edition, the Washington Post made it sound like a federal judge has ended the suspsense and permitted prayers to be offered at the inauguration, as though they were seriously in danger in the first place.
"Judge Clears the Way for Prayer at Swearing-In," declared the page B4 headline in the Inauguration Watch digest. Staff writer Del Quentin Wilber echoed the headline's language in his lede:
A federal judge yesterday cleared the way for government officials and ministers to pray and make references to God during the swearing-in.
Wilber explained that "U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton refused to grant an injunction in a lawsuit seeking to block such references." Nowhere in his 3-paragraph-long brief did Wilber mention Newdow by name, nor his history of frivolous litigation such as trying to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency.
But it seems the trouble might be with Wilber's editors. An online version filed the afternoon of January 15 -- headlined "Judge: Reference to God Okay During Inauguration" -- was longer and mentioned both that Newdow was the ring leader in the legal freak show and that he's tried and failed, twice, before:
The group of atheists, led by Californian Michael A. Newdow, sued Roberts, several officials in charge of inaugural festivities, the Rev. Joseph E. Lowery and megachurch pastor Rick Warren.
They filed the complaint in U.S. District Court. Newdow failed in similar lawsuits to remove prayer from President Bush's swearing-in ceremonies in 2001 and 2005.
That being said, Wilber's online lede was nearly identical to the print version:
A federal judge moments ago cleared the way for government officials and ministers to pray and make references to God during the swearing-in of President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Guys should pursue women. That is the natural order but what if the guy is so shy? Some women find themselves liking a shy guy and end up so frustrated because they keep waiting for him to do the first move. Dealing with a shy guy could be a challenge and you need to have the guts to make the first move, at least until he gets comfortable around you because sometimes all a guy needs is a girl who can help him overcome his shyness. Are you dealing with a shy guy? Here are some helpful tips.
Do not take his shyness personally. A guy's shyness has nothing to do with you. A shy guy is naturally uncomfortable around women so do not think that he's uncomfortable only with you and do not think that something is wrong with you. Shyness is just part of his nature but it has nothing to do with his feelings towards you. Dealing with a shy guy can be very difficult if you will start taking it personally and will start thinking something is wrong with you.

Parenting Truths 29: You are going to have to make some hard choices/
Kids force you into making decisions you never thought you'd have to make, and give you a different set of priorities. The ideas you have about yourself and about what your life is going to look like change after you have kids, and as your kids get older. In things as simple as getting rid of your expensive super-awesome coffee table, to things as complicated as deciding to end relationships that don't nourish you or allow you to be the best parent you can be. From making decisions about the kind of music you listen to while your kids are around, to deciding to push harder into your career or pull back from your career.
It's a double-consciousness. The joy and connection of parenting, but being forced into decisions you didn't know you'd have to make. Even when you're absolutely sure of and satisfied with the decisions, you still wouldn't have been forced to make them in such a deliberate manner if not for your child.
Even if it's for the best, it's still the end of your own innocence.
