I am seeking information on an Albert SIKES. I first find him in the 1910 Lewis Co., WA census married to Emma (HARRIS) BLANKINSHIP SOMERVILLE. They were living with Emma's son, Frank Blankinship in Napavine, Lewis Co., WA. Albert was 47, born in Germany, immigrated in 1891/92. He was naturalized and working as a laborer in a sawmill. The census states this was his 2nd marriage. I have no information on another marriage. In 1920 Albert & Emma were separated or divorced, living in different precincts in Lewis county. Albert died in January 1929, & was buried 29 January 1929 in Mt. View Cemetery, Centralia, LewisCo., WA. If anyone has any information on Albert, especially before 1910, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

We are looking for information on the ancestry of a James Henry SIKES/SYKES (born 3/24/1848) in Florida and his brother Napoleon Bonaparte SIKES/SYKES
(born 9/7/1846) in Florida. We know from the 1880 census that their father was born in NC and their mother was born in Florida. We also know that both Sykes brothers married PLUMMER sisters. We know that N.B. SIKES was a Church of Christ preacher for 33 years and that in a book about his life it mentions that he migrated at age 4 (1850) to Texas from Florida. That family that is in Texas is my husband's lineage. Mike is a great-grandson of James Henry Sikes. The family has spelled the name both ways. On James Henry Sikes' daughter Eureka's marriage certificate she spelled it both ways!
We wonder if these men were descendants of the John Sikes that came in to Norfolk, VA about 1637. We hear he had a large family that spread to North Carolina. If you can help us please contact us.

Oxford Ancestors has informed me that my Y-chromosome DNA does not match the majority of those with the SYKES surname. They have also informed me that I'm very likely descended from a Viking!
My branch of the "SYKES" family lived at Honley Wood Bottom, West Yorkshire. A review of the Almondbury Parish records finds that George, son of Mary Sykes of Honley Wood Bottom - with no father listed, was baptized on 17 November 1744. My branch of the family frequently named the oldest son George.
To prove this lineage, an attempt is being made to locate male-line descendants of Mary's male-line ancestors, and to compare their DNA with the male-line descendants of "George the First". I am the only known male-line descendant of my great grandfather John Sykes. However he had a brother named Joseph. In 1885, at the time of Joseph's death, sons Benjamin Lindley lived in Oakdale MA, John Charles lived in Millville MA, Edmund T lived in Minneapolis MN, Luther F lived in South Framingham MA, Alvin N lived in Millville MA and William W lived in Minneapolis MN. Two other sons, Friend and
Welcome, died young. The one daughter, Marietta, also lived in Minneapolis. Eight sons and one daughter -- poor mother!
Any information concerning any of these men would be greatly appreciated.
Incidentally, Dr. SYKES was a physician who lived in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. His collection of more than one hundred volumes of Sykes family records is housed in the Doncaster Library. More information on this collection will be available after a visit in May.

I have a Charley Edwin SHAFER, son of John and Susan Eliza (STEARS) SHAFER, who married a Mabel Edna SYKES born 17/5/1882 in Carroll Co., Missouri, daughter of Joseph? SYKES & Elsa unknown.
Their first male child (my grandfather) was named Alvah born 14/2/1992 in Johnson Co., Missouri.. I believe Charlie Edward born in Johnson Co, Missouri in 4/7/1874 - son of Charlie Edwin (started out in Pennsylvania [I think] but moved to Johnson County) - then spent a number of years with relatives (Sykes in Nebraska?) 1903-1910 before immigrating to Alberta around 1911.
Three of Charlie and Mable's children (Alfred, Margaret, & Mabel) are born in Nebraska. All of the childrens names are Alvah Lee, (twin Affie died) Alfred, Margret Isable, Mabel Edna, Clarence, Sarah Frances, Peter Real, Beulah Victoria, and Ivy Mable. It seems there was little contact with relatives in the States after immigration to Canada. Charlie changed the Shafer name from what spelling I am unsure - Shaffer, Schafer, Schaffer, Schafar?
If any of the above names rings any bells for you please contact me.

News Release
For Immediate Release
June 15, 2013
Geoffrey Ward, Attorney
(603) 545-1737
New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster, State Police Colonel Robert L. Quinn and Somersworth Police Chief Dean Crombie announce that an investigation is ongoing into a homicide that has occurred in Somersworth, New Hampshire.
At approximately 5:48 p.m. on Friday, June 14, 2013, emergency personnel and the Somersworth police responded to a 911 call that was placed from apartment #2, 231 High Street in Somersworth. Once there, they discovered Noah York, a 2-year-old male child who was in distress. That child was transported to the Wentworth Douglas Hospital and later pronounced dead.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that Jared Pope (age 30) of Somersworth, New Hampshire had caused the child's death. He has been arrested and charged with Manslaughter. Mr. Pope is expected to be arraigned on the Manslaughter charge on Monday, June 17, 2013, in the 7th Circuit Court - District Division, in Dover, New Hampshire.

Bikini-Clad Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Rock Hard Abs, Gets Romantic With Casper Smart [PHOTOS]
Jenny from the block was spotted in Miami over the weekend enjoying the summer sun and showing off her bikini-clad body in the process. Joining the pop diva were her adorable children Max, Emma and Casper Smart. Oh wait, not that last one. Sorry. Also, does Jen ever work? Or does she only spend her days by the pool?
Casper and Jen were all about the PDA as they enjoyed some alone time in the pool. I'm constantly perplexed by what Jen's type of man is. Think of the people she's been with: P. Diddy, Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony and now Casper? There's no consistency there. Well, except for the fact that all of them ended. Ouch!
I can't wait for Oprah to interview Jennifer and see what's going on with her life. Oh you know that interview is coming and you best believe we'll have a big ole' fancy viewing.
Her concert tour with Enrique Iglesias does end after Miami, so she will have plenty of time. Who knows! Launch the gallery to check out all the photos from the pool party. Speak up if you also want JLo's abs!

Websites the world over are recording NSA conversations. We rounded up some of the most thought-provoking.
A loss of liberty is lamented in Al Jazeera's comments section. Arguments among contractors erupt on Stars and Stripes. People dissect Obama's actions on The Guardian and whistleblower Edward Snowden's claims in the South China Morning Post. Libertarians fear for the future in Reason Magazine, and privacy fuels debate on Reddit.
From "NSA chief says surveillance stopped attacks" on aljazeera.com
Aldan Sphere: The people in power are criminals, plain and simple. They took a page out of Clinton's playbook on perjuring before Congress, asserting a unique understanding of plain English. Clinton had a new definition for 'having sex', these guys with 'collecting data'.
Marty: The American people will not stand for being ruled by an authoritarian government!!! Our forefathers guaranteed us freedom, liberty, and a government ruled by the people for the people!!! We will take our country back to what it was meant to be by any means necessary.
Sinbad2: No you won't, as a people you have been dumbed down. Ever since the anti-Vietnam war protests, the U.S. Government has been reducing education standards so the people will never be a problem again. Like sheep to the slaughter they simply don't have the intellect to understand what is happening.
dhdhdiddy: It doesn't take an education to bring about political change.
mbondr: This isn't just about the U.S. They aren't just trapping U.S. citizen emails and such. They're trapping and cataloging every email that goes through our trunk lines. That's about 70 percent of the world's email. That's YOUR email.
OCTheo: Now the snake has turned on its owner. Washington has become the snake you can't keep in your bed. The bedrock of America has been threatened, as the Constitution is now being disregarded and abandoned by those who has sworn to protect it. Spying on foreigners has been used as a vehicle to spy on citizens.
From "Renegade NSA contractor had checkered past" on stripes.com
spiritofthebayonet: Federal I.T. and its contractors are all about the Benjamins even more than most Feds. If you have been in that environment, it is easy to see how someone like Snowden saw what he saw. Now we know why NSA is building its facility in Utah. Have to run, the men in suits and dark glasses are at the door.
Charles: As a Federal IT specialist for over 30 years, I am insulted by your bigoted remarks. Every team I have ever been part of was filled with dedicated professionals who knew their jobs, wanted to do them well, and maintained their obligation to security. This traitor was a CONTRACTOR.
troubleduck7: I'm a contractor... I also served in the Marine Corps as an intel analyst... Frankly, I'm insulted by your framing CONTRACTOR in big letters... This is the first contractor I can remember involved in serious breaches of national security. Most of them are FBI or some federal service. I've always seen us in the intel community as all working together. This guy is a dirty scumbag, doesn't matter who he worked for... He was a federal employee when all of this started, guy…
Charles: But he did not turn until he became a contractor. I have worked with dedicated contractors and I have worked with profiteers.
troubleduck7: Fair enough. I have worked with federal guys I'd follow into a gunfight, and I've worked with federal guys who were worthless and didn't have the first clue as to how to do their jobs. Unfortunately there are morons in any organization.
News critic: What you obviously fail to understand is that a lot of these people in this profession have a deep love for Internet Freedom, privacy rights, and civil rights. And you can bet it's the suit-bean-counters with solely profit motives in mind at all the enabling technology companies that allowed these government intrusions. The ordinary tech worker would never have allowed it to happen. That's the quandary for organizations like the NSA; not all the folks smart enough to do these jobs share their 1984 agenda.
From "Snowden revelations on NSA strain US-China relations, says Beijing" on guardian.co.uk
Kelly Kearns: And so many Democrat voters laughed in 2007 when many of us said that Obama has specific plans in place and he intends to try and basically rule the world.
buddingBuddha: I have no horse in this race, but do you seriously believe that Romney would have been different? After all, the documents show that the surveillance started much before Obama came to power. Obama only continued where Bush left off.
barutanseijin: Obama is a disgrace; you'll get no argument from me. But this is about way more than Obama. Your beef is with the state security apparatus, its many many contractors, Silicon Valley stooges like Google & Facebook, the executive branch under both parties, the legislative branch, and the judicial rubber stamping branch. In other words, just about the entire American establishment.
martinusher: Obama doesn't have any more plans to take over the world than any other president. In a sense he's as much a captive of the system as we are. The problem he's got is that we elected him because his background suggested he should know better. It's one thing to go along with the program because the Veep says its OK (Bush/Cheney), it's something else entirely to know what's right and do nothing about it."
melchisedek: Useless discussion, for both Dems and GOP are ruled by the same corporations and special-interest groups. That's why no matter who's president the warring foreign policy is always the same.
From "Edward Snowden: US government has been hacking Hong Kong and China for years" on scmp.com
Michael Bordeaux: Snowden is the modern day Paul Revere. Thank you Mr. Snowden.
Joe Verber: I remember how back during the Cold War people would flee Russia to the U.S.A. It's getting pretty bad here in the U.S.A. when people are fleeing the U.S.A. to other countries because the American government is now guilty of many human rights abuses.
Bill Booth: That is laughable if it is supposed to be secret! It is as secret as who shot Lincoln. It is and has been a part of the 'Spy vs. Spy' game. China may be better at it than we are.
Tyler Windsor: This guy really should be named Captain Obvious.
From "3 Reasons the 'Nothing to Hide' Crowd Should Be Worried About Government Surveillance" on reason.com
Brandon: If there were no restrictions on speech, drugs, guns, commerce, travel, property, childcare or food, I would not be worried about the government spying on me. Can we make that deal, government?
Almanian!: I'd add a few more things (personal computer use, so-called 'sex crimes' that don't hurt anyone, etc), but close enough. And, actually, I'd be worried anyway, cause with a stroke of the pen.... "You are impure and must recant your beliefs! Cardinal Fang - READ THE CHARGES!"
CE: You left out investing.
CE: You'll have to come with us, son. Your metadata shows you made a phone call in Dallas, and 2 and half hours later you made a phone call in Austin, and your Internet metadata shows you didn't book any flights, so you must be guilty of driving 78.4 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone.
Rich: I am seriously amazed that this kind of stuff has not been done routinely for years.
Mumu Bobby: That's what you're supposed to think!
MoMark: ... In the year 2023 a progeny of nanny Bloomberg working for NSA will watch you eat your fifth Hostess Cupcake while Skyping and send the sugar police to your door.
From "Is PRISM still in any way effective now that it is public?" on reddit.com
mosmith22: The thing that really scares me is that if they have the ability to record everyone's communications and online behavior, who's to say they won't use that to their advantage? Who's to say they haven't recorded the conversations of congressmen and other high level authority figures who are overseeing these same meetings.
AngryRantingRealist: (T)he NSA isn't really in the business of ruining lives, that's the FBI. If they're going to ruin anyone's life, it's probably going to be mine at this rate. I hope they have dubstep in jail.
steveowinlow: It isn't at all clear to me where we do and don't have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" in electronic communications. Especially where we have explicitly given up some of our privacy by posting things in a public forum.
atomfullerene: I don't like all the implications of the whole "reasonable expectation of privacy" thing, because it depends in part on what the government decides to do. If in 1880 the government had started routing everyone's mail through centralized warehouses and randomly opening up letters, you wouldn't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" for the contents of your physical mail. Just because it's possible for the government to trawl the internet for things we say on it, and just because they decide to do that, doesn't mean we shouldn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
steveowinlow: What the government decides to do is only one part of it. Whether or not there is an expectation of privacy in a certain activity depends on the activity in question. For example, different rules apply when conducting surveillance of people in public places vs in their homes. It would be reasonable, by extension, to suppose that a Facebook post could be treated differently from say an e-mail between two private individuals. The question of where there is an expectation of privacy on the internet seems pretty complex to me and I don't have any easy answers.

Friday, 25 October, 2002, 20:11 GMT 21:11 UK
Edinburgh subdue Neath
Edinburgh 27-13 Neath
Edinburgh bounced back from their Heineken Cup defeat against London Irish to claim top spot in Pool A of the Celtic League.
And their commanding win over Neath at Meadowbank Stadium made sure of a home draw in the quarter-finals.
A try by Derrick Lee just before the break finally broke Welsh resistance, while quickfire touchdowns from Craig Joiner and Brendan Laney after the restart put the issue beyond doubt.
A scrappy opening period saw Laney score with a drop goal and penalty, while Shaun Connor responded with two penalties for the visitors.
The full-back was at his twinkle-toed best in wrong-footing two Neath players before nipping in under the posts to give Laney an easy conversion.
It proved a crucial breakthrough as the Gunners came storming out on the restart to completely seize the initiative with two stunning scores.
Forwards and backs combined brilliantly after 42 minutes for Craig Joiner to burst through two despairing tackles and complete a move that seemed to come straight from the training ground.
Joiner was involved again three minutes later when he exchanged passes with the inspirational Lee, who then gave a perfectly timed delivery for Laney to score under the posts.
The home side were guilty of easing off in the latter stages and Neath cashed-in to grab a try when prop Duncan Jones plunged over and replacement stand-off Matthew Jones converted.
However, it was no more than a consolation for the visitors.
Home coach Frank Hadden said: "A sloppy last quarter should not hide the outstanding rugby which went before, considering the conditions."

The fragrances are blended with essential oils.•Weight: 13.5 oz. •Burn Time: 70 hrs •Double WickSmell is the most sensitive of our senses, and perhaps the most primitive. We can distinguish literally thousands of odors and fragrances, and somehow remember them for the rest of our lives. Studies have shown that infants can identify their mothers on the basis of smell, and that mothers also can pick out their babies on smell alone. It requires only four scent-bearing molecules for us to recognize a particular smell, yet scientists still do not know exactly how odors are discerned or remembered.We all have a unique reaction to particular smells, because we've all had a personal history of exposure to aromas with associated emotional connections. Choosing aromas is very much a matter of personal taste. No single perfume will have the same appeal to everyone.Much of our experience is associated with smell, even when we are unconscious of those smells in our environment. Consequently, memories and their related emotions can be called forth instantly by the right odor or fragrance. We can be consumed by our immediate problems while walking to work one day when suddenly, after passing a bakery distracted by childhood memories of the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. The secret of aromatherapy lies in human experience; that is, how we relate fragrance to specific experiences even if we cannot recall the details of that experience.

Colombo, Oct 4: It was a low-scoring affair and Sri Lanka were brilliant to edge Pakistan out and book a berth in the final of ICC World Twenty20 2012 here on Thursday night at the R Premadasa Stadium. Sri Lanka won by 16 runs after managing to score 139/4 in 20 overs on a difficult pitch. Pakistan finished on 123/7 in 20 overs.
When Sri Lanka were kept to 139 on a tough 22-yard Premadasa strip, Pakistan would have fancied their chances to overhaul that. However, Sri Lankan bowlers were outstanding in defending that score. Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath was a fine inclusion for this game by captain Mahela Jayawardene. Herath took 3/25 in four overs and Lasith Malinga did not get a wicket but he was superb with the ball conceding just 19 in four overs.
Angelo Mathews, who opened the bowling took two wickets while Ajantha Mendis too had two scalps to his name. Captain Mohammad Hafeez fought hard for his team's top score of 42 but was brilliantly dismissed by Herath.
Pakistan needed 27 runs off the last two overs. There was still hope with Umar Akmal at the crease. But Malinga gave Nuwan Kulasekara 23 runs to defend in the final six balls. Pakistan were limited to just six and the Sri Lankan supporters erupted in joy as the hosts made it to their second final in WT20. This is also their second successive final after reaching the 50-over World Cup title round last year in Mumbai.
Sri Lanka Innings Report
Pakistan were excellent with the ball as they have restricted Sri Lanka to 139/4 in 20 overs in the first semi-final of ICC World Twenty20 2012 here at R Premadasa Stadium on Thursday night.
On a dry pitch, Pakistan bowlers maintained their dominance over the Sri Lankan batsmen right from the start. There was not even one six conceded by Pakistan. Captain Mahela Jayawardene was the top scorer with 42.
Sri Lanka made a cautious start with 34/0 in six overs. Tillakaratne Dilshan was struggling to put bat to ball. His struggles ended with an unusual 43-ball 35. The hosts took 15 over to reach 100 and with some big hitters to come, were eyeing 150 but fell short by 11 runs. A 15-run final over helped their cause in the end.
Left-arm paceman Sohail Tanvir was exceptional at the start of the innings. He was unlucky to finish without a wicket but gave just 11 runs in his three overs. Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez and Umar Gul had one wicket apiece.
Though it is difficult track to score, 140 target appears to be less for Pakistan. However, we have to wait and see how Sri Lanka bowlers perform on this wicket.
Toss Report
Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and elected to bat against Pakistan.
Sri Lanka made one change, bringing in Rangana Herath in place of Akila Dananjaya. Pakistan too opted for one change, giving left-arm paceman Sohail Tanvir a chance in place of Abdul Razzaq.
Sri Lanka had lost to Pakistan in the final of 2009 World T20 in England. This is the first meeting between the sides in this edition of World T20.

This paper describes the definition and implementation of an OpenMP-like set of directives and library routines for shared memory parallel programming in Java. A specification of the directives and routines is proposed and discussed. A prototype implementation, consisting of a compiler and a runtime library, both written entirely in Java, is presented, which implements most of the proposed specification. Some preliminary performance results are reported.

Verso/Recto Fingerless Gloves by Katherine Vaughan

Verso/Recto Fingerless Gloves
This pattern is available for $5.00 USD buy it now
Fingerless gloves are such a fabulous opportunity to splurge on soft, luxurious yarns. They don't take much yardage, and yet you get such joy from wearing them. These gloves were inspired by the facing pages of an old book that had a lovely marbled paper. Opposite sides of a sheet of paper are called the "recto" and the "verso."
The gloves are reversible, so you don't need to worry about which one goes on which hand. Sizing is accomplished by changing needle size (for width) and some slight adjustments to the length of the cuff and the palm. Please check your gauge and go up or down a needle size if you are doing the small or the large.

Although they are often a destructive force, volcanoes are an amazing facet of creation. Volcanoes erupt when magma, red-hot liquid rock, seeps up through a vent in the earth. These vents can be at the top of a mountain or on a flat area. Volcanoes can even erupt underwater if there is a vent in the ocean floor. Magma is formed when part of the earth's mantle gets hot enough to melt. Violent eruptions can occur when pyroclastic material—a mixture of magma, rocks, ash, and hot gases—explodes upward by pressure caused by underground gases and magma.
There are over 1,500 volcanoes around the world today that are considered active, meaning it can erupt at any time. A dormant volcano (like the one in Yellowstone National Park) may become active again, but not for many hundreds or even thousands of years. An extinct volcano no longer has a lava supply and is very unlikely to ever erupt again.
You can create an erupting volcano using wax, sand, and water!
Safety Note: Only use a high-quality glass beaker or liquid measuring cup (such as Pyrex) for this experiment! An ordinary glass jar or drinking glass will likely crack under this amount of heat. Never put a glass container directly onto the stovetop!
Volcanoes erupt when red-hot magma seeps up through a vent in the earth's crust. In this experiment, the wax represents magma from the earth's mantle, and the sand represents the earth's crust. The water is where the crust and the air meet. Once a volcano has broken through the earth's crust lava can flow all over the earth, or it can even be forced out into an ocean. When the wax "magma" reaches the water, it becomes "lava." Just as the wax hardened once it reached the water in this experiment, real lava cools and hardens once it reaches earth's surface.
If you want to see the volcanic reaction again, melt a few drops of wax to stick the used wax to the bottom of a clean beaker. Cover with sand and water, then heat slowly as before. The kind of reaction you will get depends on the levels of sand and wax, as well as how slowly or quickly the alcohol lamp melts the wax. Try to keep the heat as steady as you can for a more dramatic result.

An illustration for Habitat for Humanity that was used on their site, I think. It was a lot of fun to do though in any case—felt like I was drawing a Where's Wally puzzle at times.
Some details of the above illustration below. Can you spot Wally?

New Weight Tax Suggested To Repair American Roads & Bridges
"The indisputable reality is that our national infrastructure, led by decaying roads and bridges, is in perilous shape. Bridges alone tell the story: We have 75,621 of them deemed structurally deficient - potential tragedies waiting to happen."
Pierce believes that "an immediate bridge and road safety repair fund funded by an excise tax on vehicles (leaving the long-battered gas tax in its political doghouse)" is the best way to address the infrastructure crisis."
"My proposal is a new federal excise tax, levied on the purchase of any new vehicle. The tax would be calculated to reflect the precise weight per wheel - the wear and tear - that the new car or truck would place on our roadways....Such a tax should average at least several hundred dollars per vehicle. Arguably, that would be chump change in the prices haggled over each new vehicle. But the revenue would be a sure generator of needed billions for the roadways."
Rather surprisingly, Peirce does not advocate a gas tax increase to address meeting the infrastructure need.
"It was Congress' dreary record on transportation funding that enabled President Bush to dismiss a recently proposed 5-cent-a-gallon gas tax increase. Let the lawmakers 'examine how they set priorities' first, he said.
Bush then baldly asserted that an increase of a few pennies a gallon might 'affect economic growth.' But Bush has a solid point about Congress' transportation irresponsibility, including the rapid growth of special 'earmarks' in recent years. And the fact is Congress could act a lot more responsibly in allocating transportation dollars."
"Britain is showing the way with its recent "Eddington Transport Study" on how transportation decisions can be linked to the most critical concerns - the country's economic competitiveness as well as sustainable development in an era of rising concern about carbon emissions. The Eddington report's big breakthrough was a decision to apply a vigorous cost-benefit ratio analysis to gauge the actual outcomes of any transportation investments that government might make."

Hooray for David Poland for saying what so desperately needs to be said, over there at The Hot Button.

The Clearing, and More Moore De-bunkers.
Last night, I caught a screening of The Clearing , which stars three of my favorites: Robert Redford, Helen Mirren, and Willem Dafoe. It starts out like a thriller, but it is far from thrilling.Pieter Jan Brugge's directorial debut is watchable only for its talented cast, a trio of formidable actors who make you wonder what drew them to this particular script. It's a kidnapping yarn that raises a lot of interesting questions and suggests myriad possibilities for conspiracy and surprise, only … [Read more...]

By Azar Nafisi
|Review by: Tasha Whitton
The subtitle of Azar Nafisis Reading Lolita in Tehran is A Memoir in Books, which is an excellent description for this work of autobiography, biography, literary criticism, history, and politics. Nafisi completed a Ph.D. in English Literature from Oklahoma University in the1970s and returned to her native Iran to teach during the early years of the revolution there. She spent several years at the University of Tehran before she was expelled for refusing to wear the veil. In the 1990s, she returned to the classroom beneath the veil but could not make peace with the revolution, and in 1997 she moved to the United States with her family. Today, she teaches at Johns Hopkins University and is director of The Dialogue Project.
For her memoir in books, Nafisi begins with a private class that she taught after she had left the University of Tehran. On Thursday mornings (the equivalent of Saturday in America), Nafisi asked select former students to join her in her home for discussions of Western literature, much of which had become forbidden reading. In an authors note before the text, Nafisi says that she has changed names and details in her story in order to protect the girls in her group. Thus, the characters are not as important as the atmosphere created by their tales of terror within the new political regime.
The chapters are divided by authorsNabakov, Fitzgerald, James, Austenbut this is much more than a critique or analysis of the work, rather Nafisi and her girls talk about the way that the authors vision of the world may be different or similar to their own. Nafisi also spends time discussing her pedagogy in the classroom, even as explosions and demonstrations erupt daily. She identifies why she continues teaching and how she finds comfort in books while bombs fall in Tehran during the war with Iraq.
If you are looking for a book to read with a group or book club, read this book (discussion questions are included at the end). If you want to know more about the political climate in Iran, read this book. If you want to know more about literature, read this book. If you want to read of a life well-lived even amidst the most trying circumstance, Nafisi will inspire you.

If your DGR decides to participate, you (and the business) should confirm: arrangements for issuing receipts to donors that the arrangements in place meet with any state or territory regulations. You may prefer to issue receipts and ask that the business supply details of the name, address and amount collected from each donor. Alternatively, you may agree to the business issuing a statement to each donor identifying the amount collected on your behalf. Example – Supermarket collecting donations for a DGR Following an overseas disaster, Local People Supermarkets wanted to become a collection point for a DGR, Overseas Helpers. It was up to Local People Supermarkets to ensure that Overseas Helpers had an overseas gift fund for the disaster so that the funds donated by their customers could be used for that purpose only. Overseas Helpers and Local People Supermarkets made the following arrangements: Local People Supermarkets' checkout docket included all of the following: Overseas Helper's name and ABN the amount that was donated that the gift was made for the specific disaster the date the gift was made. Local People Supermarkets staff told customers that they needed to retain their docket for tax purposes. Local People Supermarkets substantiated that the donation was forwarded to Overseas Helpers. End of example See also: Keeping records Businesses can collect donations from the public on your behalf. Banks, shops and energy providers often participate in these arrangements in partnership with DGRs.Last modified: 14 Oct 2015QC 46274

9-run 2nd paces Dragons to 13-5 win over L'Kings
Burns roughed up again in second MWL start
By Cheyne Reiter / Clinton LumberKings | April 15, 2014 1:48 AM ET
Dayton, OH - Gloomy skies resulted in a gloomy Clinton LumberKings performance Monday night against the MWL Eastern Division leading Dayton Dragons. The Dragons scored two runs in the first and sent 14 batters to the plate during a 9-run second before eventually winning 13-5 in a rain-shortened 8-inning affair at Fifth Third Field.
LumberKings right-hander Tommy Burns, coming off a poor performance in his MWL debut against Lake County last Tuesday, hoped to bounce back in his second 2014 start. Instead, Burns was roughed up much more worse in his second outing. After allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits, a walk, and a wild pitch against the LC Captains in a 6-5 loss, Burns (0-2, 45.00) was hammered for eight earned runs on six hits, one walk, one hit batter, and a wild pitch Monday. The 20-year-old lasted just 1.2 innings after going 1/3 of an inning in his first start.
Burns departed after recording two outs in the second and handed the ball to reliever Ramire Cleto. Burns' successor didn't fare much better.
Cleto allowed five straight batters to reach, four coming via hit and the other a walk, before finally ending the 40-minute half-inning nightmare by striking out Beau Amaral. The inning featured seven hits, five being doubles and one triple, along with three walks, a hits batsmen, and a wild pitch.
Two innings in, Dayton held a commanding 11-0 lead. Every batter in the lineup had at least one hit by the end of the second, and some already had two. Seven of the nine Dragons had multi-hit games, led by Amaral who went 3-for-5 with one double and two triples. Amaral tripled to a near identical spot twice, both over O'Neill's head in right. One led off the game, and the other continued the second-inning hit parade.
Dragons starter Daniel Wright, making his first professional start, threw four shutout innings and allowed just three LumberKings batters to reach. Wright allowed a one-out single to O'Neill in the second, and walked Jack Reinheimer and beaned Austin Wilson in the shoulder with two outs in the fourth. Zach Weiss (1-0, 0.00) delivered three shutout innings in relief duty of Wright.
The LumberKings put up five runs in the eighth inning, despite recording just two hits. Clinton cut their deficit from 11 to five thanks to two Dragons errors, two passed balls, one walk, and a wild pitch. All five runs in the inning came against right-hander Pedro Diaz, but all five were unearned.
Dayton quickly answered with two runs in the bottom of the eighth and had runners at first and second with nobody out before the umpires called for a rain delay. After 30 minutes, the game was announced as a 13-5 final.
Clinton (5-5) was outhit 17-3 by Dayton (7-3) and committed two errors pushing their season total to 11 in 10 games.
O'Neill, Zach Shank, and Wilson were the only Clinton batters who managed hits against the Dayton pitching staff who still sits atop the MWL with a league-best 1.92 ERA.
In nine total starts, the LumberKings' pitching staff had allowed a combined eight earned runs in 39 innings pitched, good for second in the league. Burns, however, doubled that total in 1.2 innings Monday.
The LumberKings will look to end their second two-game skid of the season Tuesday night with righty Edwin Diaz (1-0, 1.86) scheduled to make his third MWL start. Right-hander Sal Romano (2-0, 3.00) is Dayton's probable pitcher for the middle game of series. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 PM CT from Fifth Third Field. The broadcast can be heard on WCCI 100.3 FM and WCCIRadio.com.
