Tracy Chevalier FRSL (born October 19, 1962) is an American-British historical novelist. She has written eight novels. She is best known for her second novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, which was adapted as a 2003 film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth.
Personal background[edit]
Tracy Chevalier was born on October 19, 1962, in Washington, D.C.[1] She is the daughter of Douglas and Helen (née Werner) Chevalier. Her father was a photographer who worked with The Washington Post for more than 30 years. Her mother died in 1970, when Chevalier was eight years old.[2] Chevalier has an older sister, Kim Chevalier, who resides in Soulan, France; and a brother, Michael Chevalier, who lives in Salida, Colorado.[3] As of 2013[update], Chevalier lives in London with her husband, Jonathan Drori[4] and son, Jacob.[2][5]
She graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1980. After receiving her Bachelor's degree in English from Oberlin College in 1984, she moved to England, where she began working in publishing. In 1993, she began studying Creative Writing, earning a master's degree from the University of East Anglia. Her tutors included novelists Malcolm Bradbury and Rose Tremain.[5]
Professional background[edit]
Following her graduation from Oberlin College, Chevalier moved to England, where she began working as an editorial assistant with Macmillan's Dictionary of Art, then later joined St. James Press, serving as a reference book editor.[6]
Her first novel, The Virgin Blue, was published in the UK in 1997 and was chosen by W H Smith for their showcase of new authors.[7] Her second novel, entitled Girl with a Pearl Earring, was published in 1999. The work, which was based on the famous painting by Vermeer, has been translated into 38 languages. As of 2014, it has sold over five million copies worldwide.[8] It won the Barnes and Noble Discover Award in 2000.[9] In 2003, a film based on the novel was released, receiving three Academy Award nominations in 2004, along with ten BAFTAs and two Golden Globes. Her 2013 novel, The Last Runaway was honored with the Ohioana Book Award[10] and was chosen for the Richard and Judy Book Club for autumn 2013.[11]
In 2011 she edited and contributed towards Why Willows Weep, a collection of short stories by 19 authors, the sale of which raised money for the Woodland Trust, which her husband was a Trustee for.[12][13]
Chevalier has been involved in representing authors as a member of various community organizations. In 2006, she began serving as the chairperson for the Management Committee for the UK's Society of Authors, serving in that capacity for two years.[citation needed] She served on the Advisory Board of the UK's Public Lending Right from 2008 until 2015, while as serving as Patron of World Book Night.[citation needed] Girl with a Pearl Earring was chosen as one of the books given away in both the US and UK for World Book Night 2013. In 2015 she became President of the Royal Literary Fund, and joined the British Library Board as a Trustee. She is also an Ambassador for the Woodland Trust, where her husband serves as a member of the board of directors.[citation needed]

Someone is using options to smooth the ride in natural-gas producer Range Resources.
optionMONSTER's monitoring systems detected the purchase of 1,975 May 80 calls for $0.04 and the sale of a matching number of June 82.50 calls for $0.59. Volume was below open interest in the May contracts, indicating that an existing short position was closed and rolled forward in time.
The investor probably owns RRC shares and is using the options as part of a covered call strategy, which generates income and reduces volatility in return for limiting potential gains. Adjusting the position raised by $2.50 the price at which they must exit the stock, while keeping them in the trade for an additional month. It also yielded a credit of $0.55. (See our Education section)
RRC is up 0.64 percent to $75.34 in morning trading and has been steadily pulling back after a 19 percent rally in the first quarter. Shares have been finding support at their rising 100-day moving average since, which could make some chart watchers think that it's still trending higher.
It's also been consolidating above its previous all-time highs around $74, another potentially bullish technical pattern.
Total option volume is quadruple the daily average in RRC so far today. Calls outnumber puts by a bullish 16-to-1 ratio.

A suggestion from Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella that rules for claiming races be changed to protect against horses with physical problems being passed along as "hot potatoes" to someone else appears to be taking root.
"There's been a great response -- positive -- to it, and I think something will happen," Mandella said this week during the Symposium on Racing & Gaming in Tucson, Arizona.
Participating on a panel called "Equine Career Counseling," Mandella said that, in addition to his original idea that claims should be voided for horses that do not finish races, another possibility would be to change claiming events to races in which runners are sold through an auction system after they compete. That format would allow prospective buyers to examine horses' soundness immediately after racing and thus would be an incentive for owners and trainers to provide runners with rest or treatment if they have physical ailments rather than using medications that allow continued racing even if a problem is lurking.
"This would encourage people to stop and fix the problems," said Mandella, who first raised the general issues involving claiming races and unsound runners during the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit in Lexington in October. He has strongly urged the industry to take action.
Ed Bowen, president of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, which coordinated the summit with The Jockey Club, said on Wednesday at the Symposium that he thinks that American racing leaders will follow up on Mandella's proposal and make changes in the system.
"I think it's got a lot of resonance," Bowen said of reaction so far.
Some of those from which Mandella said he has received an initial positive response are Santa Anita Park Racing Secretary Rick Hammerle and John Harris, an owner and breeder who is a member of the California Horse Racing Board. Dr. Rick Arthur, the CHRB's equine medical director who also was attending the Symposium, agreed that some action would be in the best interests of both horses and prospective owners.
"There are different ways to slice this cake. We just have to figure out what works and is palatable," Arthur said, noting the high costs involved with some surgeries and resulting off time that lead to use of medications as temporary fixes. "The problem is that no one in horse racing ever likes to change."
Bowen said future debate on the overall topic likely would include how rules about voiding claims could be written to fairly encompass a variety of situations. For example, if a jockey pulled up a horse before the finish line, fearing something was wrong, but no physical problem was detected, perhaps a claim on that horse should not be voided. On the other hand, any new rules should not influence riders to avoid easing runners who are in distress, he said.
As far as an auction system goes, post-race sales have been conducted in England and were a part of early American racing tradition, although Bowen said those events, which were called "selling races," disappeared in the United States around the 1920s.
Regardless of which approach might be adopted, Bowen described the proposed changes as having an "exciting potential" to discourage the racing of unsound horses. There could be many benefits, including fairer and safer competitions and more opportunities for future careers for Thoroughbreds.
"To this day, we have far more people looking for sound racehorses to adopt than we have sound racehorses available for adoption," Diana Pikulski, executive director of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, said while participating on the Symposium panel with Mandella.

Great time on Freedom: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by ytrap2007
Overall Member Rating
Great time on Freedom
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
CABINS: Very roomy (bigger than past Carnival cabins). Our Stewart was awesome and our room was always cleaned and well stocked.
DINING: Our head-waiter did a great job and the bartender always came by to see if we needed anything. I found the food to be very tasty, and beautifully presented.
ACTIVITIES: My family, which consisted of my mother, my father, my husband and me, appreciated the lounge singers (Maryjen and Jum) who sang in the lobby. We are huge fans of theirs and we may base our next cruise on which ship they are assigned to next. They sang a variety of songs that everyone could appreciate. My parents love to dance to a waltz and they were sure to provide beautiful waltzes for them to dance to. They catered to people of all ages and musical preferences. The female singer (Maryjen) had an angelic, crystal clear voice and her husband (Jum) More had an impressive vocal range. If you should take this cruise and see them, please tell them that Jim, Mary, Lew and Becky say hi. ?
We loved the shows (especially the Beatles tribute) The Freedom has a fantastic group of singers and dancers. Cruise Director Brad kept us busy with fun things to do.
DECK PLANS: My advice is to get a map of the ship and get to know where you are and where you need to go. It is not intimidating once you get to understand the layout of the ship.
SPA: The spa is so underrated. I took advantage of the lap pool, the hot tube, the sauna, and the steam room. You must check this out! It is free to take advantage of those services.
ROOM SERVICE: Totally free (tips are welcomed) the food was great. Best tuna sandwich. I highly recommend using this service if you want to relax in your cabin.
OVERVIEW: Carnival Freedom was the perfect place to spend time with my family. They were professional to take care of our problem with the Blue Lagoon excursion. (I wrote about it in detail on the board) They refunded our money. I read some reviews and some folks are so picky to complain about the ship rocking. I don't think it is any fault of the Freedom, just be sure to bring Dramamine. If you have booked a cruise with Freedom, be prepared to have pleasurable time with very little worries. Less

Embattled directors of Reliance Rail, the entity responsible for delivering the nation's largest public to private project, are expected to sign off on the accounts of the debt-laden investment vehicle, despite lingering doubts about its ability to finance the remainder of the $2.3 billion project.
Meanwhile bondholders and insurers with the largest exposures, in the form of two large European infrastructure lenders and a third bond insurer, are fighting to limit their losses as negotiations with the government heat up.
Reliance Rail is in charge of manufacturing the 626 new Waratah train carriages that were to revitalise Sydney's 1,600-km commuter rail network, a project plagued by delays since the onset. With a month to go before directors of the troubled project sign off on full-year accounts, myriad stakeholders are positioning to limit their losses; including bond holders, insurers, the four financing banks, the project's shareholders, and the NSW government. The bill is set to run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to several sources familiar with the financing vehicle, the bondholders' register cites several nominee accounts. However, the largest exposures to the bonds of Reliance Rail are believed to be held by European infrastructure lenders Dexia and Depfa.
A layer of complexity in the structure involves a third insurer, Assured Guaranty, which is said to hold a major exposure to the bonds acquired by writing "second to default protection" (selling credit default swaps referencing Reliance's bonds), according to the sources. The three parties are said to hold significantly more than 50 per cent of the exposure to the Reliance Rail bonds.
A number of real money accounts (pension funds and insurance firms) are believed to also hold positions in Reliance Rail's debt.
Meanwhile, as pundits bet stakeholders have too much skin in the game to let the structure fail – including an already-tarnished reputation – distressed debt buyers are snapping up the bonds of Reliance Rail in the market as they try to amass a position of negotiating power.
In recent weeks, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs have been spotted snapping any available bonds at discounts of about 30 per cent. Their holdings are understood to be relatively small.
Many expect the NSW government to keep the largest public-private partnership afloat by providing a financial guarantee to the financing vehicle. However, the government's economic interest in the project is minor relative to those of any other party involved.
As such, it is trying to avoid being seen as using tax-payers' money to guarantee debt held by European-based banks and distressed debt hedge funds without a serious financial compromise from all parties.
A restructure involving converting part of the debt into equity, and bondholders and banks taking a hair cut is a plausible scenario. But any loss by the bond-holders would leave FGIC and Syncora which each insure half of the $1.9 billion of Reliance Rail project bonds, exposed to make up for the losses.
The US-based insurers already moved to deliver a "reservation of rights" letter to other creditors in which they warned that they had identified events of default relating to Reliance Rail's debt.
The letter refers to highly 'technical' default conditions related to common term deed, rather than a missed payment, late delivery or breach of financial metrics.
The move by the bond insurers, on the hook to protect bondholders against losses, is said to be a threat to remove the board and putting negotiations over the project's finances firmly in their hands.
Some parties involved believe the letter is nothing more than an attempt, as a key creditor, to gain control of the negotiation process by asserting their rights. They claim that if the insurers' threat to tip Reliance into administration was credible, a potential default condition would already have led to an administrator being appointed.
The accusation of default would result in the bond insurers' stepping in to make up for any losses on the bonds, however the bond insurers' own weak financial position leaves them in no position to make good on payments should Reliance Rail default on their debt.
The letter is then seen as a push to bring them to the negotiating table so they can ultimately manoeuvre themselves out of the Reliance Rail structure and limit their exposure.
Representatives of Syncora, which has guaranteed half of the outstanding debt, came to Australia last month and were said to have left frustrated by their lack of access to government officials.
The bond insurers' flirtation with bankruptcy, after the credit crisis unravelled the bond insurance industry, was behind another reservation of rights from Reliance Rail's bankers that are due to commit $357 million of debt next year.
Reliance's four bank lenders, National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking Corporation, Mizuho and Sumitomo informed Reliance Rail that they were of the legal opinion that the insurers had actually been in default and they therefore could renege on their promise to provide the debt.
That move was also largely believed to be a negotiating ploy to allow the banks to set better lending terms than those agreed to in 2006, before the global credit crisis when Reliance Rail's debt was rated AAA.
The banks seem in a position of strength to renegotiate the terms on the facility and reset higher lending margins that better reflect the economic reality of Reliance today.
Despite concerns that Reliance Rail may not be in a position to draw the additional $357 million of bank debt in February 2012 under the same terms as those negotiated pre-GFC, directors are still expected to sign off on the accounts next month but may add qualifications to outline the funding risks associated with the project.
Provided Reliance Rail extends its existing debt at every opportunity, it will not face a refinancing event until September 2018, the first final bond maturity date. But as it extends and refinances its debt, interest charges will rise until key covenants relating to debt serviceability are breached.
This heightens the need to recapitalise the project either through the injection of more funds or by getting bond investors to agree to take losses in exchange for equity in the project, thus reducing interest expenses.
The stakes of existing equity holders – including contractor Downer EDI (49 per cent), AMP Capital Investors (25 per cent), RBS Social Infrastructure Trust (12.75 per cent), and UK listed fund International Public Partnerships (12.75 per cent and managed by Amber Infrastructure) – have mostly been written down. However an equity stake carries access to future rental payments relating to usage of the train that are still on the table.
Where Reliance Rail differs from other doomed projects is the involvement of a party without a firm economic interest – the NSW State Government. The government has no direct exposure to the project but has a political interest to resolve the funding difficulties and ensure the trains are delivered. It is therefore being forced to facilitate a restructure of the project.
Without this non-economic stake-holder observers say that bondholder haircut, would already be enforced.
Reliance Rail was the successful consortium appointed by Railcorp in 2006 to manufacture 78 eight-car "Waratah" trains for the Sydney suburban rail network and has completed an associated maintenance facility. Reliance Rail will also maintain the trains and the maintenance facility from completion until 2043.

Houston TX (SPX) Nov 08, 2010
Bricks, blocks, and steel I-beams - step aside. A new genre of construction materials, made from stuff barely 1/50,000th the width of a human hair, is about to debut in the building of homes, offices, bridges, and other structures.
And a new report is highlighting both the potential benefits of these nanomaterials in improving construction materials and the need for guidelines to regulate their use and disposal. The report appears in the monthly journal ACS Nano.
Pedro Alvarez and colleagues note that nanomaterials likely will have a greater impact on the construction industry than any other sector of the economy, except biomedical and electronics applications.
Certain nanomaterials can improve the strength of concrete, serve as self-cleaning and self-sanitizing coatings, and provide many other construction benefits.
Concerns exist, however, about the potential adverse health and environmental effects of construction nanomaterials.
The scientists analyzed more than 140 studies on the benefits and risks of nanomaterials. They found that the materials can provide a wide variety of benefits for the construction industry, ranging from greater strength and durability to improved energy efficiency.
The report also identified potential adverse health and environmental effects, and cites the importance of developing guidelines to regulate the use and disposal of construction nanomaterials.
The report in full detail can be found here

'I realise daddy will never be home'Michael Bachelard and James Robertson
Published: October 12 2012 - 1:14PM
- The Bali memorial wall: leave your tribute
- Full coverage: Bali 10 years on
Amid the speeches from leaders, past and present, Australian and Indonesian, it was the piping voice of a 12-year-old Balinese boy, reading a poem he had written to his dead father, that hit home hardest at today's commemoration of the Bali bombings.
"I only have one hope, that daddy will come home with a good toy for me," said Made Bagus Arya Dana in Indonesian, his mother by his side translating into English.
"I stare at the picture of your face. I listen to mum's stories about you … how daddy really loved me. How I miss your hugs."
Made was 1½ when his father, Gede Badrawan, the head waiter at the Sari Club, died in the bomb blasts on October 12, 2002.
"I am almost 12 years old now; I have started to understand what happened. I can feel mum's sadness. I realise daddy will never be home."
In a solemn ceremony at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Bali, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, former prime minister John Howard and Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa all emphasised how the terrorist atrocity had failed to achieve any of its objectives.
It had not divided Australia from Indonesia, nor religions from one another.
"Our two countries drew closer than they had ever been before," Ms Gillard said.
Addressing the several hundred victims and family members who attended the commemoration, Ms Gillard praised their courage for facing, once again, their demons.
"This is a day of contesting emotions. From anger at unneeded loss, to forgiveness and reconciliation of the bitter past. Wounds and scars abound, healed and unhealed but nothing can replace the empty seat at your family table, the graduations and the christenings you will never know. And the fault line that will always divide into two halves, before Bali and after Bali," she said.
Ms Gillard also praised Mr Howard, for his "steadfast, reassuring voice for Australians in those dramatic days".
Mr Howard said the bombing, which killed 202 people including 88 Australians, had tested Australia, but that it had passed "with flying colours" showing its "two great qualities - strength and also tenderness".
He also addressed the families, saying that, 10 years later: "You are not forgotten, your loss is not forgotten, and the great memorial for those who lost is to be found in the determination of young Australia to keep coming to Bali."
Dan Hanley lost two daughters, Renee and Simone, who died in the Sari Club.
The younger Simone was the last of the Australians to die, after 58 days in hospital in Perth.
"When I hear of the 88 Australians who died, I always shed a tear, because my beautiful daughter Simone was number 88," Mr Hanley said.
The ceremony, attended by perhaps only 1000 out of up to 4000 expected, ended with a prayer from Australian Chaplain Ian Whitley.
"When I am lonely bless me with love; when I am sad bless me with joy; when I am discouraged bless me with hope. When spirit is empty, bless me with beauty and when I am troubled, bless me with peace."
Afterwards, as music chosen by the families played through the park, families streamed out, some weeping loudly and in need of support, while others cried and embraced one another.

It actually is not all the good to post information on anyone that can be used
against you. The most common bank indenity is the mother maiden name. People
should never use that name so if it comes up on something like a bank account
it clear was someone else doing it.

In May last year, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak accused the former head of the Israel Defense Force, Gabi Ashkenazi, of bribery and corruption, a charge the long-serving officer denied. The apparent smear campaign stemmed from a scandal known as the Harpaz Affair, where IDF members close to Ashkenazi reportedly appointed his successor using a forged document.
But the persecution has not ended there and Israeli commentators believe there is a more political motive behind the accusations.
Ashkenazi had been widely touted as a leader for Israel's left. Known as the Barack Obama of Israel, in the past he has been unafraid of standing up to the Knesset. The son of Bulgarian and Syrian Jews and former head of Israel's Northern Command, his opinions hold clout with many in the Jewish state.
But what appears to be a concerted campaign against him by the political elite may stymie any chance of his running for office. When asked about the rumors of his desire to move into politics, he always gives the same answer: "All options are on the table."
The attorney general has refused to reopen the Harpaz case but the release of the state comptroller's report into the affair earlier this month, after a two-year investigation, led to fresh calls for a criminal probe, with Barak going as far as calling Ashkenazi's behavior "a moral stain and an ethical disgrace that must be condemned and uprooted." However, according to Ashkenazi, the report exonerates him of any wrongdoing.
Ashkenazi has shocked nationalists in the past by calling for a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank, settlement deconstruction and warning against a potential attack on Iran. Some Israeli sources believe he was booted out of the IDF because of these positions, in a campaign led by those at the highest levels of government.
Following his dismissal from the army, a movement was started to pass a law, known as the "Ashkenazi bill," that would allow him to run for office. At present, IDF members of Ashkenazi's rank are banned from running for three years after they leave the forces.
However, the bill failed in spectacular style when not a single minister voted for it. Despite the dismissal, the "let Ashkenazi run" campaign, led by Kadima and Labor Knesset members, gained huge support on Facebook.
The law to disbar IDF officers from running passed four years ago, just long enough to keep Ashkenazi out of the current elections, in which Netanyahu has come under fire from his own security chiefs making a Palestinian state impossible.
Many on the right see any territorial concessions on lands captured in 1967 - the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza - as giving in to terrorism. Paradoxically, the potential for Arabs to outnumber Jews in Israel as it annexes large swaths of the West Bank have led the center-left to label Netanyahu's coalition "anti-Zionist."
But for Ashkenazi, the campaign of persecution continues. The test of his political will may have to wait another four years as he stands on the sidelines of this right-wing Israeli election.

I used to be a serious Republican, moderate and business-oriented, who planned for a public-service career in Republican politics. But I am a Republican no longer.
There's an old joke we Republicans used to tell that goes something like this: "If you're young and not a Democrat, you're heartless. If you grow up and you're not a Republican, you're stupid." These days, my old friends and associates no doubt consider me the butt of that joke. But I look on my "stupidity" somewhat differently. After all, my real education only began when I was 30 years old.
This is the story of how in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and later in Iraq, I discovered that what I believed to be the full spectrum of reality was just a small slice of it and how that discovery knocked down my Republican worldview.

Bedtime Rituals
I totally believe in having consistent bedtime rituals. This is probably one of the few straight-out-of-textbook parenting techniques that I am convinced on. The rituals not only calms the children down prior to nitey-night, but also allows me to lie down first while they go about preparing themselves (yay to independence!).
For the boys, this is the ritual:
(1) Pees
(2) Brushes teeth
(3) Washes hands
(4) Wears own diaper (for Brandon & Bradley)
(5) Once everyone is in bed, I will countdown from five to one, followed by "Lights off!"
(6) Short story-telling by me. The topic will be decided by one of the boys and they take turns to decide.
(7) I will say, "Good night Bryan, Good night Brandon, Good night Bradley; Sweet dreams; Mummy loves you". They will respond with the same.
And we are all off to dreamland….usually me first!
As for Kayley, it is still really easy for now and it's done by VT while I put the boys to bed. Kayley is fed a full bottle of milk (4ozs), burped and tucked into covers. Lights are switched off and VT goes downstairs to watch soccer! She will then fall asleep on her own in the next 10-15 minutes.
My next step is to actually get the kids to sleep on their own without me, which means that I can leave the room after Step 7.
Do you have a bedtime ritual with your kids?
3 Responses to "Bedtime Rituals"
So cute – got countdown some more
Your bedtime ritual reminds me a lot of one of the 80s TV shows – can't remember which though.
Our bedtime ritual is pretty similar except that teeth are brushed first before pee. When I'm busy, I would say good night and turn off the lights after the bedtime story. If not, the kids would beg me to sleep with them until they fall asleep.
Your baby girl sleeps so easily?? How blessed!!!
Yup, our rituals are the same and LOL at VT going downstairs to watch football cause that is exactly what Keet will do to!

Families quite often are going through various changes simultaneously, some more impacting than others. Babies are born, family members get married and may bring new families with them, siblings move away, and parents get older. I like to work with families and support them as they navigate and manage these changes, and continue to redefine their relationships with one another.

We each carry ways that limit is in intimate relationship based on adaptations that are unconscious, and powerfully limit flexibility. I work to free individuals, and couples from these family patterns that keep us stuck.

My approach explores the family dynamics that keep people from living authentic lives. Unresolved issues from the past may cause the heart to shut down. If left unattended, this disruption in the flow of love is carried across generations, ripples into the shadows of the family landscape, often emerging as illness, emotional difficulties, and broken relationships. All family members are invited to attend and together we work through the issues in a safe caring environment.

If you cannot pay, then perhaps send them a statement of your assets and liabilities, showing that you cannot pay. If you have nothing, then they may not want to spend the money to make you bankrupt.
If you do have assets and want to avoid bankruptcy, then you should see if they will accepot a lump sum, in full settlement, or if this is not possible see if they will accept weekly or monthly payments.
Do you dispute liability for the claim? you can also defend the claim-how much is the claim for?

When the Penguins acquired Gary Roberts from Florida in 2007. he quickly became a Pittsburgh legend. HARDCORE. WWGRD: What would Gary Roberts do?
But, truth be told, Roberts delivered only sporadically. He was 41. No denying his courage. But Roberts wasn't immune from being a healthy scratch.
Brenden Morrow is THE REAL THING. He's 34. He might not be in Pittsburgh for a long time. But it figures to be a black-and-blue time.
Morrow has five goals and three assists in his last four games. He scored twice vs. Montreal last night. He scrapped with P.K. Subban, then offered to do it again in five minutes. Sadly, this did not transpire. But Morrow's message was clear.
Morrow is 6-foot, 205 pounds of pain. He hits, then hits some more. He hits so much, he makes you feel guilty for not hitting. Over a seven-game series, Morrow will wear opposing defensemen out. He is a battering ram.
GM Ray Shero acquired four good players. But in Morrow and Jarome Iginla are two guys who WON'T LET YOU LOSE. Those come in handy.
I don't know what Gary Roberts would do. Not now. But Morrow 3:16 says I JUST KICKED YOUR ASS.

In the foyer there were a series of huge posters, a stirring one depicted women with the caption "Rebelling to be heard."
The Stranger turns to the camera and a caption on the screen reads: "Introducing John Hurt as the Doctor" Huh!?
The caption, written by Nation, reads: "Happy Birthday to one of the best people and friends in the world—Jon Broyhill!"
The caption reads: "Israeli Air Force Kills Children In Gaza."
She is also drawing a new cartoon every week inspired by each episode, which fans can then caption for said prizes.
I find this in my notes, the caption of a day of business, and at this distance of time will not undertake to correct the entry.
Should this be unknown, a caption coined by the editors is placed in brackets.
I have called up that incongruous picture in memory many times since, and always to caption it with some classic title.
Reference to the scale on caption to Plate XX should be ignored.
Beneath it, exactly in the center of the page, was a leaded box with the caption "A Challenge."
late 14c., "taking, seizure," from Old French capcion "arrest, capture, imprisonment," or directly from Latin captionem (nominative capito) "a catching, seizing, holding, taking," noun of action from past participle stem of capere "to take" (see capable).
From 17c. used especially in law, and there via its appearance at the head of legal document involving seizure ("Certificate of caption", etc.), the word's sense was extended to "the beginning of any document;" thus "heading of a chapter or section of an article" (1789), and, especially in U.S., "description or title below an illustration" (1919).

About the Book
The epic journey from St Petersburg to Moscow can be undertaken with relish by any true romantic. It's an adventure which begins on the midnight train at Moscow Station in St Petersburg, where you leave behind the beautiful Imperial city, and ends in bustling Moscow, a metropolis still willing to evoke the harshness of the Soviet regime in the odd dusty corner.
This book is the story of my own personal discovery of Russia, and a journey which led to many more throughout this beautiful country and the former USSR.

As Colorado has sunk further and further into economic distress, the biggest losers have been public institutions of higher education, the students who need to be educated and the employers who need an educated workforce. There is now a plan to address the problem, and Coloradans must come together to support it.
Humphrey Museum story failed to recognize dedicated volunteers
Having just read the article by Vicky Gits in the Oct. 27 edition of the Canyon Courier regarding the Humphrey Museum, I have two questions: How did Ms. Gits article help the Humphrey Museum, and was anyone else as dismayed as I was at the negative tone of her article?
By Mike Coffman
The negative ads are gone, the hype has died and the election is (finally) over. The expected GOP wave indeed swept across the country, bringing Republican majorities in the U.S. House and in statehouses across the country.
Back in Colorado, however, the wave was muted. To be sure, Republicans picked up two congressional seats, the state House of Representatives and two statewide offices (treasurer and secretary of state).
Anderson family says thanks
Our family would like to extend to the people of Evergreen our thanks for their support, cards and wishes when our dad passed away. He will be missed deeply by us and all of the friends he touched over the years. This community has always pulled together to help each other when times are hard.
If you've seen the political advertising that has now mercifully ended with the culmination of this year's election cycle, you could easily be left with the belief that anyone who runs for political office in Colorado is an immoral opportunist seeking to destroy life as we know it.
A few things have broken down lately in my aging body. Split fingernails led me to my first real manicurist, Shannon Hoffman. No mere nail technician, Shannon is a miracle worker who has rescued my hands from tape and glue with her sensitive and individualized approach to nail care.
What did I know? I'd had the obligatory manicure for a few family functions and a couple of mass-produced pedicures during sandal season.
Killing elk with arrow on golf course was inhumane, unnecessary
While the human population can apparently shove its way around the planet with impunity for any purpose, including golfing, elk that dare to tread on the golf course are not allowed to conduct their lives without threat of being shot.

Characteristics of question format web queries: an exploratory study
Spink, Amanda H. & Ozmutlu, H. Cenk (2002) Characteristics of question format web queries: an exploratory study. Information Processing and Management, 38(4), pp. 453-471.
|PDF (183kB)
Web queries in question format are becoming a common element of a user's interaction with Web search engines. Web search services such as Ask Jeeves, a publicly accessible question and answer (Q&A) search engine, request users to enter question format queries. This paper provides results from a study examining queries in question format submitted to two different Web search engines – Ask Jeeves that explicitly encourages queries in question format and the Excite search service that does not explicitly encourage queries in question format. We identify the characteristics of queries in question format in two different data sets: (1) 30,000 Ask Jeeves queries and (2) 15,575 Excite queries, including the nature, length, and structure of queries in question format. Findings include: (1) 50% of Ask Jeeves queries and less than 1% of Excite were in question format, (2) most users entered only one query in question format with little query reformulation, (3) limited range of formats for queries in question format, mainly "where", "what", or "how" questions, (4) most common question query format was "Where can I find........." for general information on a topic, and (5) non-question queries may be in request format. Overall, four types of user Web queries were identified: keyword, Boolean, question, and request. These findings provide an initial mapping of the structure and content of queries in question and request format. Implications for Web search services are discussed.

Washington (Dec. 17)
The Senate tonight adopted the Wagner-Taft resolution on Palestine, overriding the protests of Sen. Tom Connally, who asserted that "the President of the United Sates doesn't want this resolution."
Passage of the resolution by an overwhelming voice vote followed defeat of an amendment by Sen. Thomas Hart, of Connecticut, which had asked that the word "free" be struck from the section of the resolution asking "free immigration into Palestine," and proposed other changes weakening the resolution.
The Senate began consideration of the resolution early today, but interrupted the debate for several hours to act on a bill appropriating funds for UNRRA, for which Sen. Connally secured precedence. Although many Democratic and Repulican Senators voiced their support of the bill, the opposition was confired mainly to Connally, who cast the sole vote against the measure in the Foreign Relations Committee last week.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Capitol, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives began hearings today on an identical resolution, which was introduced last week by Rep. Daniel Flood of Pennsylvania.
Opening the debate in the Senate, both Wagner and Taft said immediate adoption of the resolution was imperative so that the Anglo-American Committee on Palestine would know that the traditional American policy with regard to Palestine had been reaffirmed.
Wagner said, "We do not want the committee to have the discretion to make its own decisions on matters of fundemental policy. We do not want the committee to recast promises or reformulate objectives. We do not want the committee to substitute the judgment of a few men, however worthy, for the intent and determination of the American Congress and the American people. We should, by this resolution, let the committee know what we want it to do, and we expect it to do just that without delay."
Taft added: "We intend this resolution to be a reaffirmation of the Balfour Declaration. We are clearly committeed by promise and obligation as solemnly as possible to carry this through." Sen. Abbon Barkley, of Kentucky, majority leader, also spoke in favor of the resolution.
Lessing J. Rosenwald, chairman of the American Council for Judaism, told the Foreign Affairs Committee that he opposed passage of the resolution and objected to its use of the phrases "Jewish National Homeland" and "free entry." Committee Chairman Sol Bloom asked what alternatives Rosenwald could suggest and Rosenwald replied that while not advocating any alternatives, he would suggest that Russia take many Jews and that the United States, by using its unused immigration quotas, also receive many losenwald urged that the resolution not be passed, and that the findings of the Anglo- American Committee be awaited.
Rep. Flood called Rosenwald's proposals "dangerous and inimical." He added that the existence of the inquiry committee made the passage of the resolution more important thatn ever.
Rep. John W. McCormack, majority leader and Joseph W. Martin, Jr., minority leader, both of Massachusetts, urged the immediate adoption of the Flood resolution. Rep. Everett Dirksen, of Illinois, the first witness at the hearing, made a strong plea in its favor, saying he had visited Palestine a few months ago and that the industrial potentialities of the land had been hardly scratched, and that its agricultural production was of the highest quality. "The Jews in Palestine have showed a positive genius for building up and cultivating the land," he said, urging that the Jews should have the right to buy land and expand their operations.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, acting president of the Zionist Organization of America, protested against the length of time–40 minutes–given Rosenwald by the committee, and was assured that he would be heard by the committee in executive session as the sole witness tomorrow morning.
(Britain has no intention of evading its obligations under the Balfour Declaration, Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin said in London yesterday, in a letter to Samuel Silverman, Laborite Member of Parliament, in which Bevin explained that he used the phrase "Jewish Home" in his statement of Palestine policy on Nov. 13, rather than the phrase "Jewish National Home," only as an abbreviation.)

I spent the evening going through 10 pages of topic posts related to a topic search I did. Found some that were helpful and checked the box at to subscribe at the top left, and a second or two afterward it confirmed that I was subscribed to the topic.
So then I went into my user profile to confirm the threads were in there. I only found more recent threads. Is that normal? I sure hate to think I found all those helpful threads and marked them all for naught.
Help, anyone who understands what I'm describing, or if I haven't given enough info I'll try to clarify. I'm a newbie as you can see . . .
What I'm looking for is a way to bookmark threads, actually - i.e. from within the forum. Is there a way to do that? Because even an older thread that isn't active may have some info I want to be able to click to quickly.
I'm on lots of online forums, and every forum is different so I may be overlooking something obvious - any help appreciated!
I guess if worst comes to worst I can just keep a list of the URLs...

ISLANDERS are today being given their first look at rare and remarkable photos that show Jersey as it was 100 years ago.

Where can they be seen - other than the JEP?
Tony B
My Christmas come early! Please pu the whole collection on line.
A big thank you to Mrs Jones for allowing the public to see her families private photos. Every generation of my family including myself served in the armed forces, one killed in Ireland, and another in WW2. My great grandfather served before 1914 in the Jersey Militia. And my father served in Malta, and yet not one photo was taken or can be shown of our family history. So I can only say Historian, Mr Ian Ronayne is a credit to the island for keeping history and memories alive. Well done.
Tony B
I agree. Ian has more or less single handed reawakned history. I live near Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup, where men from the Jersey Contigent were treated.

Submitted to: Journal of Environmental Quality
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/15/1998
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Drainage water reuse is being proposed for reducing the volume of saline drainage water in the west side of central California. However, saline effluent collected in some regions of central California contains potentially a new hazard to long-term drainage water reuse, namely the presence of boron (B) and selenium (Se). Over the past decade, a variety of plant and tree species have been tested for the purpose of receiving drainage water. Tree species used as recipients of drainage water offer advantages over plant species because they: 1) transpire large quantities of water; 2) produce large amount of plant biomass; 3) concentrate the total dissolved salts within their tissue; and 4) have long life spans. One such tree species which has been used successfully elsewhere for managing some inorganic and organic compounds is the Populus species. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate B and Se accumulation by hybrid Poplar clones irrigated with effluent containing increasing levels of chloride salt, B, and Se. Our results demonstrated that the Poplar clones are moderately successful for removing B and Se from a poor quality effluent. Their ability, however, decreases with increasing salinity levels. Additional breeding and selecting for salt tolerance will be necessary to successfully use Poplar trees for extracting B and Se from a saline effluent.
Technical Abstract: There has been much interest recently in central California for reusing water on tree species. A sand culture study was conducted to investigate the accumulation of boron (B) and selenium (Se) in eight hybrid Poplar (Populus) clones irrigated with synthetic agricultural effluent containing varying levels of chloride salt, B and Se. Electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 1.5-15 dS/m, B levels from 1-5 mg/L, and Se levels from 100-500 micro gram/L. Compared to the other tree organs, the leaves accumulated the greatest concentrations of B and Se by 4 months of growth. The results show that leaf B concentrations were positively correlated with EC levels (r=0.78, P<0.001) and negatively correlated (r=-0.53, P<0.001) with leaf dry matter for all clones at all tested B levels. Both leaf and stem Se data show a significant decrease (P<0.05 level) in tissue accumulation of Se with increased salinity. Toxicity symptoms (e.g., burning leaf margins, shoot die back) occurred in most clones grown at 12 and 15 dS/m treatments. Based on the data the clone 49177 (Populus tricarpa x P. deltoidus) best tolerated the tested parameters among the clones and accumulated the greatest amount of B and Se. The moderate ability of the Populus species to remove and accumulate B and Se from saline effluent is most effective at salt levels below 7 dS/m. More research is necessary under field conditions.

University of Utah student Jennifer Hillam has been known to dumpster-dive for restaurant leftovers and use hand dryers in public restrooms to dry her hair.
So it's probably no surprise to her friends that the 21-year-old exercise physiology student won first place and almost 3½ tons of pennies in prize money in Zions Bank's second season of its "Cheapster" online reality show.
The pennies, 1 million of them, added up to $10,000. They were presented to Hillam at an event at The Gateway mall last week. A forklift dropped the glittering booty into a pile, and the mall's fountains spouted as her name was announced.
Starting in October, Hillam competed against 12 other frugal college students in a series of weekly challenges devised by Zions to test their money-saving skills. Her win also earned a $10,000 donation to the university.
Zions recorded the challenges. They can be viewed at http://cheapstertv.com/node/52.
