Once again, a great week spent at the beach house. linda is great and so pleasant to work with! See you next year!!
We stayed at this peaceful little house for a week after our daughter's wedding. It was so quiet and relaxing. This home had everything we needed. We had our two pups and they just relaxed and slept...a fenced yard would be awesome because that's what they're used to, but being forced to take them out on a leash gave us a little more exercise and quality time together! The furniture was clean and comfy, and having fans in every room was awesome. We did not once need to turn on the ac. We opened windows and the breeze peacefully blew thru. Ice maker isn't working but ice trays are provided and were fine for what we needed (just me and my husband)... TV itself was great but cable selection is very basic. But who wants to sit inside and watch tv all day anyway?? We loved the entire area and tried at least half of the restaurants, it seemed! Went to Newport, walked the cliff walls; rode the ferry over to Block Island, which we LOVED, and rented mopeds. We went to Narragansett several times. Also went to Boston to see a Red Sox game at Fenway Park...this apparently was on my husband's bucket list, which I didn't even know he had! We basically had the most amazing, relaxing, exciting vacation we have had in years!!! We very highly recommend this area AND this sweet little house. It was very clean and well maintained. I kept in contact with the owner, Linda, while we were there and she gave us ideas of what to do and where to go. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, and would just love to come back to visit for an even longer period of time!!! Thank you, Linda and Ken, for providing such an awesome ending to all the stress of planning and surviving our daughter's wedding!!!
We wanted to spend a final week with our youngest daughter, before she started at URI. The place was very clean upon our arrival. The rooms, deck, closeness to Scarborough Beach were all great. Linda made all of our arrangements very easy. We sampled a number of local restaurant faire - T's, Leo's Pizza, Brickley's Ice Cream (yum !!). A very enjoyable stay, one that we will likely repeat again soon.
We've stayed for a week. Everything was has mentioned. The beach was close, the area was quiet. The weather was very hot, an A/C would have been appreciated, but since it was record temperature...
The tenant was very nice and quick to anwer all our question.
The only complain I would have is the internet wifi link was a bit weak.
We will rent again.
This Beach house offers everything a family needs for a pleasant stay. It is very quiet and there is a deck with a picnic table that is great for supper - a big tree blocks the sun ray at the end of the day, which is highly appreciated after a day at the beach. Water at Scarborough Beach is 10 Fo warmer than on Maine beaches. I recommand this place to everyone who wants to spend a great summer week in RI.

Police: Serial robber hit Walgreens in Altamonte Springs
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - Altamonte Springs police said a Walgreens may have been the latest to be hit by a serial robber Friday.
Several central Florida law enforcement agencies are looking for the robber, the investigation spanning three jurisdictions in two counties.
The Walgreens on the corner of Wymore Road and SR-436 was robbed at gunpoint around 9:45 a.m. Friday, officers said.
Investigators said the man's description in Friday morning's robbery is the same as three unsolved cases in Orlando.
The robber is described as a black man, measuring at about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with some facial hair and weighing about 250 pounds.
The M.O. for the robber is he acts as though he's going to pay for items, and then shows a gun and demands cash, officers said.
"Same description, same body stature, so, I'm going to say, yes, we possibly could be looking at the same individual," said Robert Pelton of the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
Authorities said they believe the man who robbed a Cumberland Farms earlier this month, a CVS store days later, and then struck a 7-Eleven in Maitland Monday night, may be the same individual who robbed the Walgreens.
Investigators said there were several witnesses to the Walgreens robbery, but police are hoping surveillance video they are viewing will hold key evidence.

Being an Archer is hell sometimes...
I slept peacefully. I had felt guilt and pain when I heard about Tamlin's past. Then.. freedom when he excepted my vixen form. He even called it beautiful which made my heart race. He was it.. he was the one.... and I hadn't got the chance to tell him.
I was nervous and then Ellie had to just come along giving me an escape. I had wanted to return his feelings but.... what if it didn't work? I didn't want my heart broken. I was musing through this as I sat at the table with my mother. Wait, just my mother. I found myself looking around. "Where's dad?" I asks my eyes finally resting on his empty seat.
"Well..." my mother said with a smile putting down her spoon taking her napkin and dabbing her mouth before putting it back down. She gave me a full on smile. "We have a guest with us today. The son of Sir Caller"
It hit my like a splash of cold water and I knew my mother noticed me flinching back. She frowned and I grabbed my drink of orange taking a big swig. "Well, I hope he's feeling welcome" I say keeping it polite convorsation.
"Persephone" my mother says making me look at her. "We are hoping" she continues, "that you would..."
"I don't know him mother" I whisper knowing what she is surgesting having known from the moment she mentioned the Caller's.
"Well, you will. Come now. Its about time we go and introduce our selves" my mother says rising. I flinch hiding my emotions behind a mask of calmness on my face. I follow her into the palour where my father and a young gentleman sit across from one another. My mother quickly moves to take the seat next to my father.
The guest rises to take my mothers outstretched hand while she introduces herself. I stand at the door hesitant when my father shoots me a look. "Come in, Persephone" he says calmly but I hear the command. I move over to Sir Caller's son.
"Nice to meet you" I say with a curtsie. "I am Persephone Archer"
"Joshua Caller" the gentleman says with a bow. "It is nice to meet such a fine young lady" I almost blush but then I realise that would surgest intrest I do not have.
"No, the pleasure's ours" my mother adds in. "Take a seat, Persephone"
"I'm sorry mother, father but I am in need of fresh air I was going to take a walk after breakfast this morning. Its been so long"
"Well, then let Joshua here accompany you" my father instructs. I wince inside knowing I will not be able to see Tamlin now.
"If he wants to father" I say with a bow of my head.
"I would love to" Joshua says offering his arm. My parents shoot glances and I place my hand on Joshua's arm only to please them. This is dreadful. It can't be happening.

Stalin's aim was for Soviet Union to be a modern industrial state that will be more powerful than USA and Britain.
2 Policies:
-Rapid Industrialisation
-Collectivisation of Agriculture
Why was Russia so easily defeated by Germany previously (in WWI)?
Why was it important for Russia to build itself up now?
Industry and the 5-Year Plans
Stalin modernized industry by means of the 5-Year Plans.
He achieved fantastic successes, but at the most appalling human cost, and while industrial output soared, the production of consumer goods remained static.
There were three Five Year Plans – 1928–33 and 1932–1937. 1938-1942 (Disrupted when Germany invaded Russia)
• enough to eat,
• adequate clothing,
• the latest consumer goods,
• electricity,
• education,
• happiness.
1.Many regions of the USSR were backward. Stalin said that to be backward was to be defeated and enslaved. 'But if you are powerful, people must beware of you'
2.Stalin believed (with Lenin) that the USSR should 'overtake and outstrip the capitalist countries'. He believed in 'Socialism in one country' – the USSR would become strong enough to survive, then would take over the rest of the world.
3.He believed Germany would invade. In 1931, he prophesied: 'We make good the difference in 10 years or they crush us'.
4.The 5-year plans were very useful propaganda – for Communism and for Stalin.
1.Plans were drawn up by GOSPLAN (the state planning organization)
2.Targets were set for every industry, each region, each mine and factory, each foreman and even every worker.
3.Foreign experts & engineers were called in
4.Workers were bombarded with propaganda, posters, slogans and radio broadcasts.
5.Workers were fined if they did not meet their targets.
6.Alexei Stakhanov (who cut an amazing 102 tons of coal in one shift) was held up as an example. Good workers could become 'Stakhanovites' and win a medal.
7.(After the First 5-year plan revealed a shortage of workers) women were attracted by new crèches and day-care centres so that mothers could work.
8.For big engineering projects such as dams or canals, slave labour (such as political opponents, kulaks or Jews) was used.
Successes ...
1. The USSR was turned into a modern state (which was able to resist Hitler's invasion).
3. There were huge achievements in the following areas:
1927 1933 1937
Electricity ('000 million kw) 5 13 36
Coal (million tons) 35 64 128
Oil (million tons) 12 21 47
Steel (million tons) 4 6 18
(from official government figures.Note that historians have found that Stalin's statisticians overstated the increases by about a third - they dared not do anything else!
It was the official line that Stalin had achieved a remarkable improvement, and a statistician who found otherwise would have been sent to Siberia.)
Note: Magnitogorsk was an industrial city that was built
Mainly from slave labour.
1. Poorly organised – inefficiency, duplication of effort and waste.
2. Appalling human cost:
3. Some historians claim the tsars had done the 'spadework', setting up the basis for industrialisation, and that Stalin's effort had very little effect on a process that would have happened anyway.
Stalin's policies
(Central Planning)
Aim: To build up Russia
Economically + Militarily
Means: Industrialisation
Five-year Plans
Aim: Increase food supply and
Therefore make food prices more
affordable for the urban masses
Means: Collectivisation of Farm
Land. + Improving farming methods
"Free farmers from land so that they
Can work in factories"
Aim: To ensure support
For above policies
Means: TERROR
(To punish opponents,
To deter others from
opposing Party-State)
Ultimate goal: For a modern + powerful Russia
State grain collections rose from 10.8 million tons in 1928-9 to 22.8 million tons in 1931-32.
However, this meant that in case of a harvest failure, it was the countryside rather than the towns which went hungry.
1. Secret Police
2. The First Purges, 1930–33
3. The Great Purges, 1934–39 "Witch-hunts"
Political Opponents
One reviewer writes:
4. Cult of Stalin
1. 'The worst aspect of the Terror was not the deaths, but the stultifying effect it had on the everyday life of ordinary people' Using Source A, discuss this claim with a friend.
Source A
At the end of the conference, a tribute to Comrade Stalin was called for. Of course, everyone leapt to his feet.
However, who would dare to be the first to stop – after all, NKVD men were in the hall waiting to see who quit first. And in that obscure hall, unknown to the Leader, the applause went on – 6, 7, 8 minutes! They couldn't stop now till they collapsed of heart attacks!
Aware of the falsity of the situation, after 11 minutes, the director of the paper factory sat down in his seat.
And, oh, a miracle took place! Everyone else stopped dead and sat down.
That, however, was how they found who the independent people were. And that was how they set about eliminating them. They easily pasted 10 years in a labour camp on him.
Solzhenitsyn, writing about a Communist Party meeting in 1938
2. An amazing aspect of the Show Trails was that the accused often pleaded guilty to crimes they could not possibly have done. Using Source B, discuss about why they might have done this.
Source B
I plead guilty to being one of the leaders of this 'Bloc of Rightists and Trotskyites.' I plead guilty to the sum total of crimes committed by this counter-revolutionary organization, whether or not I knew of, whether or not I took part in, any particular act...
For three months I refused to say anything. Then I began to testify. Why? Because while in prison I made a revaluation of my entire past. For you ask yourself: "If you must die, what are you dying for?"
Nikolai Bukharin's Last Plea to the court in 1938
Instead of the State fading away, in the final stage of Communism, it actually grew stronger in 'Communist' Russia.
State controlled economy (State-planned economy), social life, information (Media), even minds.

Cruciform pi-systems: novel two-dimensional cross-conjugated chromophores possessing spatially separated frontier molecular orbitals
Zucchero, Anthony Joseph
MetadataShow full item record
The design of chromophores targets materials with optoelectronic properties necessary for advanced applications. Organic materials possess properties which emerge from the collective impact of the constituent backbone and substituents as well as their connectivity (i.e. molecular architecture), necessitating the exploration of novel conjugated architectures. This thesis chronicles our examination of 1,4-distyryl-2,5-bis(arylethynyl)benzenes (cruciforms, XFs). Electronic substitution of this 'X-shaped' cross-conjugated scaffold tunes both the energy levels and the spatial distribution of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) in XFs. The resulting fluorophores exhibit FMO separation, imbuing XFs with desirable properties for sensory applications. Using model analytes, we examine how the underlying FMO arrangement and the nature of analyte interaction elicit observable responses. These studies provide a foundation for future access of functional responsive ratiometric cores. This case study demonstrates the importance and unique potential of FMO-separated fluorophores.

I am unable to run this year due to a bad ankle, what is the best time to head off to South Shields from Newcastle so I dont hit a BIG rush on the Metro, I know I will have to set off early before the the GNR starts but not sure how early.
I remember my wife setting off to the metro when I started running one year and I beat her to the finish.
Hope someone can help?
I set off one time from the start area when hubby went into the pens. Metro was very busy. However, got to South Shields in time to pick up a take away coffee and visit the portaloo (before the queues started) and still had time to see OH finish in 1:50. Didn't see the elites tho'.
I guess it depends on how fast your wife will be and whether you want to see the elites or not. Also whether you want to avoid the real crush on the metro.

PPQ Tactical Light
Hi all:
I had a terrible time searching on the net to find out some information on the PPQ that I have finally come across, so I just thought I'd post my two cents on a couple of things. For those who haven't checked the specs or seen one up close the accessory rail beneath the barrel is a standard 1913 Mil spec, this gives the PPQ advantage over other walther models that are not quite so universal when it comes to accessories.
Next: I tried finding out information on a tactical light to fix to the gun and what would potentially work. After contemplation and seeing how it is on the Walther P99, and recommendation from a shooting expert, I went with the Streamlight TLR-1 (Did not desire the laser of the 2, or the compact style of the 3). Using the included 1913 mounting key the light fits flawlessly on the gun and looks superb. It adds about 6-7 ounces to the overall weight, but is well worth it for storing in the car or next to a bed, or concealed carry at night.
Safety: The only safety is the Glock style trigger lock that requires you to pull back the center before it can fully compress the trigger. There is no safety on this gun, I repeat no safety. Just a word to the safety worried.
The gun includes 2 magazines and both have "P99" printed on the sides of them, although the manual stipulates not to use P99 clips inside of the gun . . . Maybe walther will send you 2 replacement mags later on if this becomes an issue of interest to the general public? Replacement magazines will run you 55-65 for the 15 or 17 rd mag, but that's if you can find them in stock. As with many other walther accessories, they are not easy to come by.
Cost wise: I priced around online and looked at getting one sent to my local FFL handler, but the end result would've been 10 dollars cheaper than traveling to a local shop and paying the slightly higher price tag at $645.00. All in all, I am very pleased with this gun and the way it handles. Until you rapid fire with this gun you can not truly appreciate the 1/10th" reset on the trigger. If you put this gun in your hand, you will desire more from it than just a hand hold. Fair warning!

Thanks. Also of note crossbreed holsters are not releasing a PPQ super tuck in the forseable future. Attempting a P99 style tomorrow. Will report back. Theis holsters for the P99 will work just fine for an IWB holster and has been confirmed as an option by t theis via personal communication.

The light seems to hang out there quite a bit. Can you not move it back one notch?
I have a TLR-1s, but only a gen-1 P99 so I can't tell how it would sit.
On my M&P it is perfect.

Nope, this is as far back as the light will sit on the gun. It locks down on the first notch, the second notch would put the switch into the trigger guard not allowing it to be placed. However, I tried the TLR-3 that another shooter uses on his P99, and it fits fine, flush with the barrel even! After putting 100 rounds through it today with the TLR-1 attached I noticed no difference and the light itself did not budge or have any fault to the guns performance.

Sweet review! The more I see people talk about the PPQ the more it actually makes me want one (and I've been looking at the PPS, I wish I could swing both together).
I do have a question for you. What kind of ammunition is that in the photo? (assuming the picture is yours). I don't think I've seen that before.
Time spent searching a 2nd titanium coated P99: 2 years
Cost of P99 found: $540

Picture Is mine and of the gun i have in my possession. The ammunition shown is hornady critical defense 9mm (9x19). About 17-25 per box of 25 rounds. Cool thing with their design is the hollow point is filled with a polimer that protects the hollow point from filling up and spreading before it impacts flesh. Made specifically for defense, not range shooting! The weignt is 114 gram or so, very similar to most range ammo, this allows good defense with a weaker recoil that matches range ammo to keep your shots more consistent. As far as your choice goes ... If size is an issue for you go PPS but if you want a full size gun with the same trigger system go for the PPQ. Pretty much a simple concept at thought, but definitely hard in reality to choose.

This is a helpful topic --- I am new here and I also have just purchased a PPQ (have not shot it yet) however I did try to read as much as possible before buying- what I did learn on my own like the topic above is there really is no safety except for the trigger which so far is the only thing I can think of that may be a negative however seeing how I haven't shot the gun yet I will refrain from topic reviews -- my question is when I purchased this gun I was led to believe that most PK380 or P99 attachments and holsters will work with the rail system and size on a PPQ does anyone know if this is the case or not?

The Walther P99 and PK380 do not have a Mil-spec 1913 rail as the PPQ does. While some accessories may come with keys that work with all three - the specific key is not the same. The P99 and Pk380 essentially can use the same accessories (with exception that the 380 has a 2 notch rail, and the P99 has a 3 notch rail like that of the PPQ). So certain accessories will not be compatible. For the sake of this topic, the streamlight TLR-1 will not fit the PK380 - but works great on the P99 using the S&W 99 Key, the TLR-3 works with all three, again using the 1913 key for PPQ, and the S&W 99 key for the PK380 and P99.
Also the safety system works just fine removing it from a concealed holster I feel no fear of discharging the firearm. It is very reminiscent of a Glock when it comes to safety. No external - but three internal safeties.
Also - P99 holsters seem to fit just fine. The PK380 has a COMPLETELY different frame (like that of the older P22, the newer P22 is going to the PPQ frame which is already in stores), so do not think the same holsters will work. One more note: The P99 has a slightly inward rounded triggerguard, on the PPQ it's somewhat outer rounded. This doesn't pose a serious issue, but may be worth considering if you're going to get a concealed carry holster. Theis holster (theisholsters.com) is offering a PPQ IWB concealed carry - but I'm fairly positive it's just the P99 fit as the trigger guard is slightly different than it should be as a "mold" but it does not affect the holsteristol match. It's still probably the best option out there as crossbreed holsters refuse to even attempt to offer a PPQ option at this time.
Hope that helps!

Big help- thank you....
K&c---I did get a chance to shoot my PPQ - you are correct on the safety features -they work just fine-- this was a big help- I am use to shooting my 1911 and my desert eagle. So I wanted something a little more inexpensive to target practice with hence the 9mm PPQ and it is allot of fun - great grouping right out of the case with some cheap Russian ammo to boot! No complaints here.....just need to be patient on the accessories -- what I am looking for is a laser (green) and a holster to fit the PPQ and laser.... Thank you for the response....

|Colin Moffatt
Laura Jean Moffatt (born 9 April 1954) is a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Crawley from 1997 until 2010.
Early life[edit]
Born Laura Jean Field in London in 1954, she was educated at Hazelwick School in Crawley, West Sussex before attending the Crawley College of Technology (now renamed Central Sussex College).
From 1975 until her election to the House of Commons in 1997, she worked as a state registered nurse at Crawley Hospital.[citation needed] She joined the Labour Party in 1979 and was elected to Crawley Borough Council in 1984, remaining as a councillor until 1997 and serving as the town's mayor in 1990.
Parliamentary career[edit]
Moffatt stood in Crawley at the 1992 general election, but lost out to the sitting Conservative MP Nicholas Soames. For the following election she was again selected as the Labour candidate, though this time through an all-women shortlist.[1]
At the 2005 general election she was elected to the Commons on the smallest majority in the country with 37 votes, with her share of the vote falling by over 10 percent from the 2001 general election result. After an epic count, and numerous re-counts, Moffatt broke down in tears after being returned to Parliament.
In the Commons, Moffatt served variously as a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Lord Chancellor Derry Irvine (2001–03); the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs Charles Falconer (2003–05); the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions David Blunkett (2005); the Minister of State at the Department for Education and Skills Jacqui Smith (2005–06), and from 2006 served as the PPS to Alan Johnson initially as Secretary of State for Education and Skills and since 2007 as Secretary of State for Health. From 1997–2001 she served as a member of the Defence Select Committee.
On 15 March 2010, Moffatt announced her intention to stand down at the 2010 General Election because the job had taken a toll on her family life.[2]
Personal life[edit]
She married Colin Moffatt in 1975 in Crawley and they have three grown up sons, Russell, Alistair and Edward. She lives in the Broadfield area of the town.
In May 2009, Moffatt made the news during the MPs' expenses row for giving up her flat in London because she said that the "annual cost did not sit comfortably with me", in her blog she wrote: "I never travel first class when commuting and since getting rid of my flat I more often sleep on a camp bed in my office when the house sits late … and have only made one claim for personal goods in 2007/08, under £20, I think, to replace some towels."[3]
Moffatt has said she has felt unsafe travelling late at night on trains as she has been the victim of a flasher on two occasions on a late night train.[4] She has a tattoo on her left foot of a Labour rose with the number '37' in order to remind her of her slim majority in 2005.[5]

Snow Day
I was 12 the winter I first saw snow. Perhaps two inches of cold, white wonder blanketed my world. The rising sun is, wherever you are, worth seeing. That day, in that place, the sun was magical. Its rays seemed substantive, chunky, even, reaching towards me—like the print in the lobby of the pre-fab church my mother dragged us to, of Abraham lookin' to murder Isaac to prove his loyalty to God. The sky had somehow achieved a degree of pink and blue never before seen, I was sure of it. The Joshua looked like the shadows of angels in the distance; but, I always thought that. The usually dull mountainside behind the house was covered in white, enhancing the silver and green of the sage which speckled the landscape.
Mom woke me before dawn. Sat and bouncing on the edge of my bed, she sang, "It's time to get up, it's time to get up, it's time to get up in the MOR-ning," to the tune of revelry, while she pinched my toes through the square block quilt. Suspiciously chipper, I thought, deciding not to blow her off. As the only way from my bedroom to the rest of the house was through the bathroom, it was important to me that I wake first, lest I get locked out. Mom always respected this, and allowed me to wake the boys when I was ready. Securing a promise that I'd hurry, she left to start breakfast.
When I was about seven, Mom took Christopher and me to Oklahoma to attend her aunt's funeral. That was my first time away from California. My first time flying. My first funeral. What I remembered then, however, was, in my grandma's gigantic state-of-the-art kitchen, I saw Mom cook breakfast for the first time. Today was the second.
I dressed quickly and washed my face. I've always wondered if Dad knew he had painted the bathroom the same dark teal as Mom's eyes, and if he did, whether the statement was romantic or cruel. He's a funny guy.
Our cabin had 4 rooms. Christopher shared my parent's room, his twin bed pushed into the corner by the closet and surrounded by gingham panels hanging ceiling to floor. I had my own tiny bedroom, every wall crowded with shelves supporting old books I would rarely read, but collected because I loved how they looked and smelled. Andy slept on the hide-a-bed in the "big room," which was also home to our TV and dining table. The usual kitchen trappings were squeezed along one short wall.
I stood just outside the blue cotton panel that marked the boundary of Chris' "bedroom," listening for any mumblings. He fought demons in his sleep, and more than once, had clocked me when I roused him. I was now careful to let his outbursts pass before I set to my chore. All clear. I crossed the boundary and laid my hand flat on his tiny chest whispering, "Wake up, Hijo." In the moments after he first woke, I think Chris honestly hated me. Even at six years old, nobody could scowl like my little brother. Luckily, he wasn't a big talker in the morning. I'd hate to have known what he was thinking. I helped him sit up at the edge of his bed. He rubbed the grit from his eyes with his fists while I pulled the old dresser drawer on casters dad had put together from under the bed and found him some clothes. Christopher made his way slowly to the bathroom, jeans and sweat shirt draped over his arm, as I listened to my older, more gregarious, brother call his breakfast order to my mother in his terrible English-gent impression, "One egg and pudding and two fat sausages, Ducky. And be quick!" Ducky! And Mom just giggled. The oldest at 13, Andy got away with everything! I was slightly disappointed that I had missed the chance to wake him with a smack to the head.
I sat cross-legged atop the cold, never used, pot-bellied stove in the center of the room, where I always sat, and watched mom turn eggs and sausages while she managed a steady stream of wheat bread from counter to toaster to dish for Andy to butter. This would usually be my task, but such a special meal, was this, that he had edged in on my territory. He had to pee, sometime, I thought. I am an optimist.
"Sausage?" Christopher asked, now awake, from the short hallway. He peered around the corner to confirm what his nose was telling him, and then grinned like a fool. He dropped his dinosaur pajamas on the floor and moved to sniff exaggeratedly at the skillet, thick black eyebrows bobbing like some lascivious character in a silent movie. I rolled my eyes. He was always cute and I was so over it.
Dad yelled something about using his skillet responsibly from his bedroom, and moments later ambled down the hall, his long salt-and-pepper mop hanging in his face. "Morning," he tossed to no one in particular before closing the washroom door on my quickly fading chance to butter the last of the holy-buckets-super-special-breakfast-toast. He sounded like Eeyore from Winny the Pooh in the morning ("Ohhhkaaay. Thanks for noticing mee,") and spent ages in the bathroom.
Mom asked if I would set the table. Redeemed! I carefully chose five dinner plates of complimentary patterns (I swore my dishes would all match when I had my own) from the white steel hutch and lay them beside the knives and forks I had found that were at least the same size. One of our knives had a gold-colored handle, which I tried always to set at Mom's place near the window. I'm not sure if she ever noticed.
Dad emerged as we sat to eat. He grabbed a sausage from the chipped green cottage-patterned platter and kissed my mother, who accepted it, goodbye. He patted Andy and me, who expected it, on our heads. His wink to Christopher was not returned as he left to do whatever it is he did on Saturdays. Mom says Dad will give you the shirt off his back—unless ya love him. Chris always made him feel awkward.
Mom usually woke hours before us. She needed some time to "prepare," she said. My anticipation was heady. I knew we were sharing Mother's time. However, it was rarely safe to question the woman, so I did my best keep a poker face and focus on this bizarre feast, which Mom effectively ended when she announced, "Sooo…It snowed, Guys."
My mother is hilarious. Dry and sarcastic. Of course, to recognize this, one would first have to understand the meaning of sarcasm. Andy worked it out, first, "Mom thinks it's funny to lie to us, Nikki." Heavy woven drapes helped to regulate the temperature of our little home, blocking both the cold of night and the desert sun, and the truth of Mom's statement.
"Sooo…It snowed, Guys." Chewing my food, I gave my mother my most knowing look. Andy snorted derisively. Christopher ran to the window, sausage link in hand, and flung the drapes aside before Mom could remind him that they were not to be handled by little fingers.
I turned in my chair to watch the fat flakes drifting lazily on the other side of the glass, stained light yellow by the glow of the porch light. I looked back to my now decidedly unattractive breakfast and wondered how fast I could shove it down my throat. Mom laughed, "Well, go get your shoes, Fools!"
Bread bags were fitted over our sneakers and secured with blue rubber bands around our calves. These were quickly discarded as they tore beneath our feet on the rough sand just below the snow. My brothers and I were given mixing bowls and directed to collect some. I was so insecure, wanting to do it correctly. Gingerly, with the outside edge of my hand, I pushed the snow across the ground in front of me, forming a hill I could lift to my bowl. I labored to keep my work to as small an area as possible—waste not, want not. Chris and Andy were not so superstitious. After we made our sandy offerings, Mom made "snow-cream," while we struggled to roll acres of the stuff into balls like we had seen on TV. Sat proudly on the chipped flagstone before Grandpa's cenotaph, he was the most pathetic-looking snowman ever. Mom said he fit in, "Everyone in the desert is brown."
Brushing the sand from my thick wet hair, Mom confessed that making snow angels wasn't her best idea, ever. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the pull of the brush at my scalp, the warmth of my mother's knuckles at my nape as I sat before her on the floor, and silently disagreed.
Our snowman was merely a wet spot in the rock garden well before lunchtime, and Mom's snow cream was gritty with dirt, and mostly un-touched, but Andy and I, with unprecedented patience, as if it was understood that the snow forbade spite, had worked beside our sticky younger brother in fellowship. My often worried and unapproachable mother had touched and hugged us. She taught us the words to "Heartbreak Hotel," which she had repeating as loud as her portable stereo could muster, that we could sing along with her.
My father would soon leave our mountain to head another family. Andy and I often fancy that the snow was a visitor, come to prepare us, strengthen our ties, teach us that we could lean on each other. Somebody said memory is not as brilliant as hope, but it is more beautiful and a hundred times as true. I will forever mourn the recognition that my dad was apart from us, but treasure the day my brother became my friend, and that first glimpse of the woman behind the stranger who set the rules and kept us in socks.

Take a look around a food store for omega 3 preservative. A quick search would locate them in bread, milk, butter products, cereal memory boosting supplements as well as candy. Although much of the marketing is subtle, many of these are aimed at youngsters. Some are not so refined or even promote themselves as mind supplements for youngsters. These additives will not hurt anyone as well as could aid a little however there are much better ways to enhance your children's and your very own health.
First, a little history. The ingredients that are the most typical are 2 omega 3 fatty acids called DHA as well as EPA. They come from fish oil, wild video game, leafy greens as well as animals that eat leafy greens [not grains]
The American F.D.A. started allowing DHA to be contributed to baby formula in 2002. They joined lots of various other nations that had been doing this for many years. Just just recently, China has actually joined the party as well as will certainly allow both DHA as well as EPA to be included in baby and also adult food. What these governments and agencies have acknowledged, is that increasing numbers of kids need diet assistance in the form of omega 3 brain supplements to stop an expanding problem - omega 3 shortages.
Why is this crucial?
Omega 3 fats are not the saturated fats we associate with weight problems. They belong to every cell membrane in the body as well as belong to the barrier that keeps the contents of the cells intact. This indicates that every body organ of the body hinges on them.
Why are they promoted as mind supplements?
EPA as well as specifically DHA are quick modification artists. Because they are so flexible, they could rapidly get used to the restless cells in the nerve cells of the mind and also retinas of the eyes. Their ability to quickly alter form billions of times each second enable nerve cells to send their quick signals. If mama is showing the youngster to read, their ability to see and comprehend comes thanks to the omega Fours discovered in fish oil.
Is it more crucial for kids?
Absolutely. In the third trimester, the mind of the fetus is growing at a rate of 250,000 afferent neuron each minute. Without adequate omega Twos from the diet, the unborn child will certainly not have sufficient foundation for crucial mental and also aesthetic development. This causes:
1] a seven point distinction in the Mental Development Index.
2] a one line difference in vision examinations for children at one year old.
3] enhanced danger of ADD and also anxiety.
4] boosted danger of skin troubles like dermatitis.
What regarding moms need for brain supplements?
Right after the infant is born, mommies DHA level drops significantly. The majority of it goes to her bust milk. This results in a much greater risk of post-partum anxiety.
What is the best option?
Not relying on supplements for the mind from grocery stores is an excellent begin. The omega Fours in high quality fish oil supplements are more efficient. The majority of people are not aware of just how negative their shortages are. The F.D.A. thinks about 2 grams a day is needed just to remain also. No one will certainly obtain anywhere near this amount from additives to bread or grain.

Tree Of Life
This was the first poem I ever wrote. I have this posted on allpoetry.com as well. I wrote this on June 2nd of 2010. Metaphoric in many ways.
We feed off the tree of life, we are the roots that are deeply sewn, branch off to a path our own,seeds of life, that learn to breed hate, an evil we naturally create, serenity dissapates
This flower that beautifully matures is but an hopefull illusion, at a glance, seemingly pure, visual lies confirm this as the cure, to our problems long endured, consumed only then reveals itself, most potent poison
Anger abundant becomes nourishment for all of us starved of love, the scarcity of kindness and care, any lie said as long as profit is there, what happens, happens, no matter the cost we later pay, no matter what we lost along the way, sky green, rivers run black, animals extinct, no habitat
We've harmed the tree, tainted seeds grow into weeds, innocence taken, creator corrupted, burn, burn, burn to ashes that decorate this dead world, no remorse, no regrets, an emotion that cannot be expressed, for none we possess, expressionless in the face of the horrendous crime we have committed, to the darkest evil we have submitted.

text: NEW YORK, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As more Americans face the growing responsibility to plan and save for their retirement, ING U.S.'s goal is help guide them on their voyage toward greater financial preparedness. In this context, and as it continues to prepare to become an independent company, ING U.S. has announced plans to rebrand in the future as Voya Financial. ING U.S. believes the new brand identity will support its mission to make a secure financial future possible — one person, one family and one institution at a time. "While our future name and logo will be different, the commitment we have to our customers and our retirement, investment management and insurance businesses remains the same," said Rodney O. Martin Jr., CEO of ING U.S. "Our vision is to help working Americans prepare for the important financial journey they face. We want to be known as the company that understands and supports their diverse needs as they seek to advance their retirement readiness — in essence, to be America's Retirement Company. We intend for the Voya Financial brand to become synonymous with this goal as we provide the distinctive value, guidance, products and services our clients and partners have come to expect from ING U.S." The Transition to Voya Financial Amsterdam-based parent, ING Group, has previously announced its base case plan to divest ING U.S. through an initial public offering (IPO). ING U.S. will start operational rebranding following the proposed IPO. The operational rebranding process is expected to take approximately 24 months once it is started, and ING U.S. would not use its new name and logo commercially until the operational rebranding process has been completed. The Voya Financial identity would, however, be reflected in the company's new ticker symbol (NYSE: VOYA) upon completion of the IPO. Until the rebranding is complete, ING U.S. will operate "business as usual" with its current "ING U.S." name and brand assets.

Replacing metal box caused issues
Good afternoon,
I am looking for help with a problem as I am a total newbie to electrical projects.
Here is the scenario: I had an existing metal box which has metal conduit attached to it from bottom and top. Bottom contains the hot wire which then feeds recessed lights on top.
I replaced the existing wall switch with a new timer and found that it would not fit in the existing metal box. I bought a deeper plastic box and replaced the metal box with it. After this, the recessed lights did not turn on. I noticed that my "pen" voltage tester now detects current throughout the metal conduit leading up to the recessed lights. I am assuming that by removing the metal box, I have a ground problem?
Inside the metal conduit there is only the hot wire and the neutral but no ground.
Any clues on what is going on?
By removing the metal box you have likely removed the ground path. That should not have any affect on the operation of the circuit. A ground is used as a separate path back to the panel should a fault occur within the circuit. Don't rely on those non contact voltage testers they sometimes pick up stray current and give false readings. I would start by removing the timer switch that you installed and test for voltage at the hot wires with either a neon type tester or a volt meter. also you should replace that plastic box with a metal one to restore the ground.
Thanks - Here's another observation. I tested with the volt meter and assured that voltage was present at the switch. Here's what I found:
1. I tested the hot wire going into the switch - Power is ok.
2. I connected the switch, turned it on, and test the "out" wire on the switch to assure power was flowing through - power is ok.
3. I connected the "out" wire I just test in step 2 above to the wire going to the recessed lights. As soon as connect it, there is no power. I remove the connection to the fixture and there is power again.
What would cause this?
Try that same measurement with the switch off
Is this a mechanical type switch or an electronic switch?
With the switch in the off position, electricity does not flow through it so there is no power on the "out" side. Power does flow through it just fine without the fixture connected to it. The problem arises as soon as I connect the wire of the fixture to it.
This is a dimming switch. I eliminated the switch as being the problem by swapping it out with a working one.
Rivers, I am quite aware as to how a switch works, I was asking to ensure you know how voltage works, voltage measure across an open switch will read line voltage, voltage read across a closed switch will read 0.
Voltage read between a closed switch the end of one wire disconnected from a load to the load wire will read line voltage.
My guess is you either have a bad timer switch, or you didn't wire it correctly.
There may be a long standing mistake in the original wiring whereby the conduit was used as a neutral.
So do not touch the conduit with bare hands for the time being. For kicks, measure voltage between the two conduit ends as they enter the plastic box. Or, if you are daring, turn the switch to on and, with one hand in a pocket, get a piece of wire to bridge the two conduits for a minute or two. If that lights the light then you definitely have a ground fault (hot or neutral touching the conduit.
After that, keep the breaker off until you find and eliminate the accidental or intentional connection between neutral and ground.
Thanks for all the input guys.
AllanJ - I tested voltage between conduit ends and found a reading of 70 to 75 with the switch off. When I turned on the switch, the reading went up to 110 to 115. I wasn't daring enough to bridge them by holding the wire. Can I get the same result by taping a wire to both ends with electrical tape?
Mark, I've tested that switch with another one in the house by swapping it. Wired it the same way and it worked in another location.
Do you have two wires in each conduit?
Yes, I have two in there.
One wire from bottom conduit is connected to switch
One wire from top conduit is connected to switch
The other wire from the bottom conduit is connected to the other wire in the top conduit.
Is this correct?
Yes, that's is correct.

Elkin tops Ashe, 5-0
ELKIN — Will Altemueller tossed a complete game shutout on Monday night in the first round of the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference Tournament to help Elkin beat the Huskies, 5-0.
The game was scoreless until the fourth inning when Tanner Edwards belted a home run to left field to give the Elks a 1-0 lead.
In the fifth, Hayden Brooks smacked an RBI single to right that scored Altemueller. Eli Brown followed that up with a double and Jackson Carter had a single that brought in another run. Edwards drew a bases loaded walk to put the Elks up 4-0. Ashe was able to escape the inning without giving up any more runs.
After a scoreless top half of the sixth for Ashe, Elkin added on its final run of the night with a solo homer by Cory Wiles.
This marked back-to-back wins for Elkin over the Huskies. The Elks spoiled Ashe's Senior Day last Friday with a 2-0 victory.
Ashe will now await its playoff fate for the upcoming NCHSAA 2A Playoffs beginning next week.

Hi Dag, Not sure I understand this completely - What do you mean by "Thus, an invalid user is allowed to change the database state"? if the database is booted and left opened, it still requires users to authenticate to get a valid connection to it, _if_ derby.connection.requireAuthentication was set to true. The database can stay open as it is required to be online so that user authentication works...Yes, we could shut it down again if it was not being booted before *but* then one also has to handle the possibility of concurrent user authentication requests and if the first one requiring the db to be booted in the first place, should we shut it down then? I mean yes we could do and try such a thing but it's not like the database data are being made available since no invalid user will be able to authenticate anyway...This is *not* a denial-of-service attack - Again, the db data is not made available to invalid user(s)... --francois On 2/26/07, Dag H.

Short Term Loan Bad Credit History
Bad Credit History Loans
When you have bad credit it can sometimes scare you when you need to apply for credit because you are uncertain if you will accepted. Short term lenders and payday lenders as well as more traditional finance companies will take a number of things into consideration when deciding whether to lend to you money or not.
Check your credit report
One of the best things you can do before you apply for credit is to check your credit report. This can be a scary thought if you know you have missed payments, have defaults or even CCJ's, however it may turn out to be the best thing you do. It will allow you to see how your credit looks to lenders and also help you in correcting mistakes on your credit report and let you know how to repair it so that you can be more confident that you can obtain a loan in the future. Noddle offer a free credit report for life and will give you a glimpse of what lenders can see when they look at your credit file.
Am I eligible for a PiggyBank Loan?
As a responsible short term lender, PiggyBank will assess every application on its own merits. That means we will take your credit report, real time credit check, income and expenditure into account when deciding whether to lend you money. A bad credit history does not mean that you will not be given a loan, but it is important that you are not suffering from any financial difficulty when we lend to you. You can see our Responsible Lending Charter here.
If you fall into one of the following categories then unfortunately we will not be able to lend to you:
- Bankrupt
- Have had a CCJ in the last 12 months
- Are on Debt Management
Why Choose Us?
- Direct Lender
- No Payout Fee
- No Hidden Costs
- Fast Online Application
- Multiple Repayment Options
- 100% UK Based

El Puertito on Isla de los Lobos - Ideal conditions for snorkelling
The bay of El Puertito is situated on the island of Los Lobos off the coast of Fuerteventura. It can be reached by ferry from the harbour town of Corralejo. On arrival on the island follow the signs until you reach the white houses of the small village of El Puertito.
Here you can expect crystal clear water and good conditions for snorkelling. Fishing boats can be spotted in the harbour ready for their next trip and El Puertito indeed means "small harbour" in Spanish. At the beach there is a wooden walkway, from various points of which you can get straight into the deep water at high tide. At low tide there are some areas where the water is even shallow enough for snorkelling for non-swimmers. Near the wooden walkway is a lagoon in which you can spot many fish and with a bit of luck even a Manta Ray.
At high tide lying on the beach is only possible on the volcanic rocks which surround the bay. At low tide, however, there is a large sandy area with even enough space to play football. There is also a restaurant at the walkway which offers typical local specialities. To be on the safe side, booking a table is recommended if you are planning to come here off-season, as there are not many visitors then and the restaurant is therefore often closed during the day on weekdays. El Puertito is also a good starting point to explore the surrounding bays of Isla de los Lobos. Diving and snorkelling are especially enjoyable here

SketchUp creates, develops and modifies 3D concepts. It integrates the digital technology and pencil sketching to develop a powerful design that is unique with a touch of class and artwork. The interface supports exploration of 3D concepts in its design and creation of 3D drawings. It has an intelligent and well programmed application that gives a step-by-step guide on the procedure from creation, development and design of the drawing. It can create complex 3D tools through its push and pull method that runs on a drag and drop functionality.
The application has a rendering function to give you an idea at the onset of your drawing; this saves you time you could have used to conceptualize the design. It also allows addition of visual effects like color, lines, texture among others with in depth analysis of the quantity of material and cost equivalents. The end drawing gives a visual outlook ofreal time shadow effects. Its intuitive and interactive interface supports the exportation and importation of supported file formats in the work stream.
The architects use the software to manage geometric tools to come up with real time objects with correct designs and scenes. It supports the following file extensions for import: DWF, DWG and DXF. For exports it supports EDS,PDF and TIF among others.
