Wikipedia: Irene of Greece, Duchess of Aosta
Born in Athens in February 1904, Irene was the fifth child and second daughter of the future Constantine I of Greece and Sophie of Prussia. Irene may have been named as such due to the so-called Macedonian Struggle, a period of violent skirmishes, guerilla warfare, and political assassinations in the Balkans that began the year of her birth. Irene's siblings included three Greek kings (George II, Alexander, and Paul) and Helen, a future Romanian queen. Irene remained the youngest child in her family for over nine years until the birth of her younger sister Katherine in 1913. Irene was very close to Helen throughout their lives.
The Greek royal family spent a significant amount of time in exile during Irene's childhood. After her father's death in 1922, Irene moved with her mother and younger sister permanently to Italy. Irene lived in Florence with her mother and younger sister in a somewhat ordinary villa. During Irene's time in Florence, she trained as a nurse in a local hospital. She was also seen out at local dance halls and cafes, and generally living the life of a typical young adult of the time. She was fond of the Scottish Highlands, regularly taking trips there with Helen. In late 1926, Irene and Katherine simultaneously came down with appendicitis, but both made quick recoveries.
Irene was linked for some time to Boris III of Bulgaria. Following her sister Helen's disastrous experience as the wife of Carol II of Romania, Irene was said to have declared that she would not marry a Balkan royal. Irene was engaged to Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe, her distant cousin, in October 1927. The engagement was broken off reportedly due to Irene's dislike of Germany.
Irene and her sister Katherine served as bridesmaids for their cousin Marina when she married George, Duke of Kent in 1934. As royal weddings tend to encourage gossip about other possible couples, talk of a future husband for Irene began to simmer again. She was mentioned as being linked to Nicholas of Romania, a family with whom her own already had two links (her sister Helen and brother George both married into the Romanian royal family). In the late 1930s, Irene was named as a possible bride to the widowed Leopold III of Belgium. Neither of these prospective marriages progressed beyond talks.
Irene was also instrumental in encouraging "Green Week" in Athens, a time when a large amount of trees were planted on the streets of the city to encourage natural beauty and shade. Her brother George II liked the idea and appealed to ambassadors of several different countries for donations of trees.
Irene again became engaged in May 1939 to Aimone, Duke of Spoleto (later Apulia). Aimone was the son of Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Aosta and Hélène of Orléans, once a bridal candidate for both Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Nicholas II of Russia. Aimone was descended from Ferdinand VII of Spain, Louis-Philippe of France, and Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, and was at one time thought to marry Infanta Beatriz of Spain. The engagement between Irene and Aimone was considered to be "a love match without political significance," although there was some speculation that the marriage was arranged to ease tension over Italian troops being stationed near the Greek border. The two had known one another for some time, as the Greeks in exile in Italy had become close with the Savoy family.
The couple married in Florence at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore on July 1, 1939, in the company of numerous other royals. The ceremony was said to have been gorgeous, with the streets filled with flowers and scores of spectators. Aimone's and Irene's wedding was one of the last royal weddings before the outbreak of World War II in Europe.
Aimone was named King of Croatia in 1941; Croatia had been established as a puppet monarchy in control of Italy and Greece. He intended to rule under the name Tomislav II, but Aimone accepted the throne mostly out of duty. The region was unstable due to border disputes and the war in Europe; the theoretical monarch of Croatia also held little power as the Ustaše fascist organization controlled the country.
At the beginning of World War II, Irene began serving with the International Red Cross in the Soviet Union. She ended her tenure there when she became pregnant.
The couple's only child, Amadeo, was born in September 1943 in Florence. Amadeo's birth occurred shortly after Italy's armistice with the Allied powers during World War II and his father's abdication of the Croatian throne. As a result of Aimone's ties to Croatia, Amadeo received the Croat name of Zvonimir as one of his given names.
Early in 1944, Irene and several other Italian royals were arrested and sent to concentration camps. This was done Irene and Amadeo were dispatched first to Sartirana, near Pavía, and then later to Austria, Germany, and Poland. The two were liberated in May 1945 at the end of the war in Europe.
After the fall of the Italian monarchy in 1946, Irene and Amadeo escaped to Switzerland while Aimone fled to Argentina. The couple was effectively separated after this time, having spent little time together during the preceding years. Aimone died in Buenos Aires in 1948.
Following her husband's death, Irene established herself in Villa Domenico (Fiesole), near her sister Helena, who lived in Villa Sparta. Irene died on April 15, 1974, at her home in Fiesole, Italy. She is buried at the Basilica of Superga in Turin.

Light comes in many forms—be it beautiful, like a rainbow, practical, like a laser, or awe-inspiring, like an applause sign's first live studio performance. Harness the beautifying power of light with today's Groupon to Body by Zerona in Crescent Springs, Kentucky. Choose between the following options:
- For $899, you get 6 Zerona treatments (a $1,800 value).
- For $1,399, you get 12 Zerona treatments (a $3,000 value).<p>
Body by Zerona's experienced technicians harness the FDA-approved Zerona cold-laser technology, designed to reduce corporeal circumferences by an average of 3.5 inches. During each session, clients relax beneath a beam-slinging apparatus for 40 minutes as it glides low-light lasers over their waistline, back, hips, and thighs, emulsifying adipose tissue so that fat can sneak its way out of the body. The disintegrated lipid deposits can then be absorbed by the body's obsessively tidy lymphatic system and expelled through the body's natural detoxification process and complex system of water-slides.
Technicians perform 6 treatment sessions over a span of two weeks and 12 treatment sessions over a span of four weeks. The noninvasive treatment requires minimal recovery time, and patients can boost results with healthy eating habits, daily exercise, and regular hydration. Like sumo-wrestling costumes, caffeine and alcohol decrease the procedure's potency.
Body by Zerona
Body by Zerona's staff has performed more than 15,000 successful Zerona procedures, helping clients achieve their ideal figures with the FDA-approved technology. The device's noninvasive lasers disrupt fat cells' membranes, causing them to release their contents and shrink. This can result in 3.5 or more lost inches.

I'm Eric Brown and welcome to my political activity law website.
Feel free to email me (eric[at]politicalactivitylaw.com) if you have a link or item of interest.
I launched my site in 2008 to share my interest in political activity law. I view political activity law to include laws governing campaign finance and all forms of participation in the political process, whether action by individuals, corporations, unions, not-for-profit groups, and other groups of individuals.
I closely follow campaign finance law, House and Senate ethics, gift, and travel rules, lobbying disclosure, foreign agents registration requirements, and related topics. I have provided counsel to corporations, trade associations, candidates, non-profits, unincorporated groups, party committees, vendors, and individuals on compliance with these laws and rules and similar issues. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my background or experience.
I've also enjoyed participating in a number of campaigns and recounts, most recently as General Counsel to a presidential campaign. I've also worked for a national political party and volunteered for state and local candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. In 2004, I participated in the recount in the Washington state gubernatorial recount (pictured far right).

In 2001, I was invited to participate in a mission to observe the presidential election in Honduras. The mission, organized by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, was headed by Ambassador Myles Frechette and included a number of interesting participants from the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala, and other countries in the region. After arriving in Tegucigalpa, IFES representatives traveled to other areas of the country to observe the election.I traveled with a colleague to Tocoa, a city in the north. The IFES report generally concluded that the 2001 election met international standards.
Please do not hesitate to contact me (eric[at]politicalactivitylaw.com) if you have any comments or questions about the site.

Get Cosi in the asylum with something amazing this May
WHAT happens when you take a manic depressive, junkie, mute, overeater, doped-up musician, obsessive compulsive and pyromaniac and try to get them to perform a Mozart opera?
The answer is Cosi, the popular Australian play by Louis Nowra showing at Phoenix Theatre this May.
It follows fresh-faced university graduate Lewis, who is contracted to put on a play at the local asylum with some of its patients – but he feels out of his depth directing them in the opera Cosi fan tutte.
Through working with the patients, Lewis eventually discovers a new side of himself which allows him to become emotionally involved and to value love.
Nowra is one of Australia's leading playwrights, responsible for Radiance, The Golden Age, Miss Bosnia and Summer of the Aliens.
He adapted Cosi into a 1996 film with Toni Collette, Rachel Griffiths, David Wenham, Ben Mendelsohn and Jacki Weaver, scoring the Australian Film Institute Award for best adapted screenplay.
Director Jayde Clark says she has a passion for Australian theatre because it can tell stories from our past.
"It shows the world how we can be loyal, loving and larrikins all at once," she said. "Australian plays have the over-arching theme of mateship and that's what Cosi captures.
"It's a black comedy that gives you a fly-on-the-wall feeling about what happens in asylums and how people can band together to create something amazing.
"The play educates people to not look at people with mental illness as crazy who should be shut away but to realise they are just like you and me.
"Cosi provides this sense of learning a moral, wrapped up in a comedy, showing the dark and light side of human life."
Involved with Phoenix Theatre since 2012 when she appeared in the Australian premiere of Virgin Warrior, Clark went on to direct The Mocky Horror Monster Ball and has served as vice president and president of the theatre's committee.
In 2013, she co-directed Maul of the Dead and appeared in When The Lights Go Down and Sorority House of the Dead.
Previously, Clark directed Roses Are Black at the Koorliny Arts Centre and Shakespeare Standoff and A Midsummer Night's Dream at university – where she also brought Cosi to life for the first time.
She also appeared in Avenue Q at Roleystone Theatre in 2012.
"With this production of Cosi, my biggest challenge is finding a piano accordion and teaching Ryan S. McNally, who plays Zac, to perform The Ride of the Valkyries on it," Clark said.
Cosi plays at 8pm, May 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17 with a 2pm matinee May 11. Tickets are $20 adults, $18 concession plus transaction fees – book through TAZTix on (08) 9255 3336 or www.TAZTix.com.au.
Please note: the show has strobe lighting, sexual references, coarse language and stylised violence (all mild).
Phoenix Theatre is located at 435 Carrington Street, Hamilton Hill, within the Hamilton Hill Memorial Hall.

Charles Frazier, the acclaimed author of Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons, returns with a dazzling novel set in small-town North Carolina in the early 1960s. With his brilliant portrait of Luce, a young woman who inherits her murdered sister's troubled twins, Frazier has created his most memorable heroine. Before the children, Luce was content with the reimbursements of the rich Appalachian landscape, choosing to live apart from the small community around her. But the coming of the children changes everything, cracking open her solitary life in difficult, hopeful, dangerous ways. In a lean, tight narrative, Nightwoods resonates with the timelessness of a great work of art.

Read an Excerpt
LUCE'S NEW STRANGER CHILDREN were small and beautiful and violent. She learned early that it wasn't smart to leave them unattended in the yard with the chickens. Later she'd find feathers, a scaled yellow foot with its toes clenched. Neither child displayed language at all, but the girl glared murderous expressions at her if she dared ask where the rest of the rooster went.
The children loved fire above all elements of creation. A heap of dry combustibles delighted them beyond reason. Luce began hiding the kitchen matches, except the few she kept in the hip pocket of her jeans for lighting the stove. Within two days, the children learned how to make their own fire from tinder and a green stick bowed with a shoelace. Tiny cavemen on Benzedrine couldn't have made fire faster. Then they set the back corner of the Lodge alight, and Luce had to run back and forth from the spring with sloshing tin buckets to put it out.
She switched them both equally with a thin willow twig until their legs were striped pink, and it became clear that they would draw whatever pain came to them down deep inside and refuse to cry. At which point Luce swore to herself she would never strike them again. She went to the kitchen and began making a guilty peach pie.
LUCE WAS NOT MUCH MATERNAL. The State put the children on her. If she had not agreed to take them, they would have been separated and adopted out like puppies. By the time they were grown, they wouldn't even remember each other.
Though now that it was probably too late to go back, maybe that would have been a good thing. Separate them and dilute whatever weirdness they shared and ignited between them. Yet more proof, as if you needed it, that the world would be a better place if every-damn-body didn't feel some deep need to reproduce. But God in his infinite wisdom had apparently thought it was an entertaining idea for us to always be wanting to get up in one another.
Also, the children were here, and what was Luce to do? You try your best to love the world despite obvious flaws in design and execution. And you take care of whatever needy things present themselves to you during your passage through it. Otherwise you're worthless.
Same way with the Lodge. Luce didn't own it. She was the caretaker, sort of. Some would call her a squatter now that the old man was dead. But nobody else seemed interested in keeping it from growing over with kudzu until it became nothing but a green mound.
Back at the edge of the previous century, the Lodge had been a cool summer retreat for rich people escaping the lowland steam of August. Some railroad millionaire passing through the highland valley in his own railcar had a vision, or possibly a whim, to build an earthen dam, back the river up, fill the upper end of the valley with water right to the edge of the village. Then, on the far side, build a log lodge of his own design, something along the lines of the Old Faithful Inn, though smaller and more exclusive. He must have been a better railroad executive than architect, because what he built was a raw outsized rectangle, a huge log cabin with a covered porch looking down a sweep of lawn to the lake and across the water to the town. Evidently, rich people were satisfied by simpler things in the yesteryears.
Now the millionaires and the railroad were gone. But the lake remained, a weird color-shifting horizontal plane set in an otherwise convoluted vertical landscape of blue and green mountains. The Lodge persisted as well, a strange, decaying place to live in alone, though. The main floor was taken up by the common rooms, a voluminous lobby with its massive stone fireplace and handsome, backbreaking Craftsman armchairs and settles, quarter-sawn oak tables and cabinets. A long dining room with triple-hung, lake-view windows and, behind swinging doors, a big kitchen with a small table where the help once crowded together to eat leftovers. Second floor, just narrow hallways and sleeping chambers behind numbered six-panel doors with transom windows. Third floor, way up under the eaves, a dark smothering rabbit warren of windowless servants' quarters.
WHEN SHE LIVED ALONE, Luce didn't go to the upper floors often, but not out of fear. Not really. It was little but bedsteads and cobwebs up there, and she didn't want to believe in ghosts or anything similar. Not even the portents of bad dreams. Yet the fading spirit world touched her imagination pretty strong when she was awake at three in the morning, alone in the big place. The dark sleeping floors, with their musty transient pens and cribs for the guests and their help, spooked her. The place spoke of time. How you're here and then you're gone, and all you leave for a little while afterward are a few artifacts that outlive you.
Case in point, old Stubblefield, who had owned the Lodge for the past few decades. Luce visited him several times during his dying days, and she was there at the end to watch the light go out of his eyes. In the final hours, Stubblefield mostly cataloged his possessions and listed who should get what. His concerns were largely real estate, all his holdings to go to his sole useless grandson. Also a few valuable objects, such as his dead wife's silver service and lace tablecloth, perfect but for a slight rust stain at one corner. Barely noticeable. The silver candleholders were a heavy weight on Stubblefield's mind because his wife had loved them so much. Oddly, he left them to Luce, who didn't love them at all and probably never would.
Easy to be disdainful and ironic toward others' false values. Still, Luce hoped that when she was at the same thin margin of life she would be concerned with looking out the window to note the weather or the shape of the moon or some lone bird flying by. Certainly not a bunch of worn-out teaspoons. But Luce was half a century younger than old Stubblefield, and didn't know how she'd think and what she would value if she made it that far down the road. All her life, the main lesson Luce had learned was that you couldn't count on anybody. So she guessed you could work hard to make yourself who you wanted to be and yet find that the passing years had transformed you beyond your own recognition. End up disappointed in yourself, despite your best efforts. And that's the downward way Luce's thoughts fell whenever she went upstairs into the dreary past.
BEFORE THE CHILDREN, Luce had learned that after dark she'd best keep to the communal lobby, with its fireplace and mildew-spotted furniture and tall full bookshelves and huge floor-standing radio with a tuning ring like the steering wheel to a Packard. She dragged a daybed from a screened sleeping porch to form a triangle of cozy space with the hearth and the radio to make herself a bedroom. The bookshelves held a great many well-read old novels and a set of Britannicas, complete but for a couple of volumes in the middle of the alphabet. Also, nearby, a Stickley library stand with an unabridged 1913 Webster's. The places where you naturally put your hands on the soft binding were stained dark, so that all you could figure was that decades of guests finished a greasy breakfast of sausage biscuits and then right away needed to look up a word.
At bedtime, lamps out, the rest of the big room faded into darkness, only the fire and the radio's tubes sending a friendly glow up the nearby log walls. Luce finally fell asleep every night listening to WLAC out of Nashville. Little Willie John, Howlin' Wolf, Maurice Williams, James Brown. Magic singers proclaiming hope and despair into the dark. Prayers pitched into the air from Nashville and caught by the radio way up here at the mountain lake to keep her company.
Also good company on clear nights, the lights of town. Yellow pinpoints and streaks reflecting on the shimmer of black lake water. One advantage of the village being over there on the other side was the proximity of people as the crow flies, but no other way. By car, it took the better part of an hour to go around the back side of the lake and across the dam and around the shore to town.
The distance seemed shorter when Luce first got to the Lodge, due to a rowboat she found in one of the outbuildings. Town became only twenty minutes away. But the boat was rotting and loose-jointed, and on her first few trips across, she spent as much time bailing with a saucepan as rowing. And she was not much of a swimmer, at least not good enough to make it to either shore from the middle. She dragged the boat up onto the shoreline and let it dry for a few days, and then one evening at dusk, she poured a cup of kerosene on it and burned it. Flames rose chest-high, their reflections reaching across the still water toward town.
After that, when she had been alone for too many days, she walked the half mile to Stubblefield's house, and the half mile farther to Maddie's, and the mile farther to the little country store, where you could buy anything you wanted as long as it was bologna and light bread and milk, yellow cheese and potted meat, and every brand of soft drink and candy bar and packaged snack cake known to man. A four- mile round-trip just to sit in a chair outside the store for a half hour and drink a Cheerwine and eat a MoonPie and observe other human beings. She always carried a book, though, in case she needed to read a few pages to avoid unwanted conversation.
The past Fourth of July, Luce sat on the porch of the Lodge drinking precious brown liquor from the basement and watching tiny fireworks across the water. Bursts that must have filled the sky in town became bubbles of sparks about as big as a fuzzy dandelion at arm's length. As they began fading to black, the distant boom and sizzle finally reached the Lodge. Friday nights in the fall, light from the football field glowed silver against the eastern sky. A faint sound like an outbreath when the home team scored a touchdown. Every Sunday morning, distant church bells from the Baptists and Methodists tinkled like ice cubes in a glass, and a saying of her mother's always crossed Luce's mind: thirst after righteousness. Which Lola used as a Sabbath toast, raising a tall Bloody Mary and a freshly lit Kool in the same hand only minutes after the bells woke her.
THE DAY THE CHILDREN came was high summer, the sky thick with humidity and the surface of the lake flat and iron blue. On the far side, mountains layered above the town, hazing upward in shades of olive until they became lost in the pale gray sky. Luce watched the girl and boy climb out of the backseat of a chalky-white Ford sedan and stand together, square to the world. Not really glaring, but with a manner of looking at you and yet not at you. Predatory, with their eyes very much in the fronts of their faces and scoping their surroundings for whatever next prospect might present itself, but not wanting to spook anybody. Not yet. Foxes entering henhouses, was the way Luce saw it.
They sported new clothes the State had given them. A blue cotton print dress and white socks and white PF Flyers for the girl. A white cotton shirt and stiff new blue jeans and black socks and black PF Flyers for the boy. Both children had hair the color of a peanut shell, standing ragged on their heads as if the same person had done the cuts in a hurry, with only the littlest regard to gender.
Luce said, Hey there, you two twins.
The children didn't say anything, nor even look at her or at each other.
-Hey, Luce said, a little louder. I'm talking to you.
Luce looked at their faces and saw slight concern for themselves or anybody else. They sent out expressions like they sure didn't want you to mess with them, but maybe they wanted to mess with you. She went to the back of the car, where the man from the State was unloading a couple of cardboard boxes from the trunk. He set them on the ground and touched the smaller box with the toe of his loafer.
-Their clothes, he said. And that other one is your sister's. Personal items.
Luce hardly glanced down from looking at the kids. She said, What's the matter with them?
-Nothing much, the man said. He thumbed the wheel to a Zippo and lit a smoke and seemed tired from the long drive. Ten hours.
-Something's the matter with them, Luce said.
-They've been through a bad patch.
-A what?
Luce stood and waited while the man took a drag or two, and then she broke in on his smoking and said, You're the one that collects a salary from the State to do this job, but you can't even talk straight. Bad patch.
The man said, One doctor thought they might be feebleminded. Another one said it's just that they saw what they saw, and they've been yanked out of their lives and put in the Methodist Home for the time it took to sort things out. The father's legal matters.
-He's not their father. They're orphans.
-It took time to figure that kind of thing out. We got used to certain wording.
-And Johnson? Luce said.
-The trial's coming up, and they'll convict him. Sit him in the big wood chair with the straps and drop the tablet in the bucket. It fizzes up, and pretty soon he chokes out. Immediate family gets an invitation.
-To watch?
-There's a thick glass porthole, tinged like a fishbowl full of dirty water. If there's a crowd, you have to take turns. It's the size of a dinner plate. Pretty much one at a time.
-Count me in, Luce said.

Luce is a lonely woman who does not own the once luxurious but now abandoned North Carolina rustic Lodge where she has lived for three years by herself as its caretaker. With the death of elderly owner Stubblefield, she is not sure whether her late employer's worthless grandson will allow her to stay on at the Lodge. Luce has other problems with the recent murder of her sister Lily. She has no time for grief as the State has taken Lily's fraternal twin children to her since their stepdad stands trial for killing their mom. Luce has no idea how to deal with her grief stricken niece (Dolores) and nephew (Frank) especially since both are mute and out of control. Still she finds some solace in helping them adjust from arsonist wild animals to human kids. However, she is unaware that her brother-in-law Bud, acquitted of murdering his wife, is coming seeking hidden money he plans to find at any cost to others even his stepchildren. Nor does she know someone else is coming up the mountain with plans for the Lodge. Nightwoods is a fast-paced character driven suspense thriller. The story line is superb when the focus is inside the minds of the three grievers at the Lodge. The plot loses some momentum of the anticipated confrontation when the protagonists speak like English Lit professors seeking a metaphor. Still this is a terrific tale as three lonely people struggle with the murder of the connecting loved one while the killer is coming. Harriet Klausner
Nightwoods main character, Luce, is the caretaker of an abandoned, decaying summer lodge on a lake in Appalachia. Frazier aptly describes a lodge in disrepair- a metaphor for the losses in Luce's life. But she is happy and at peace. Unconfined, her solitary life takes on an ethereal quality. Until the children. She took her murdered sister's children because the state said they would be separated if she didn't. The pyromaniac twins with a propensity for violence remind her in no way of her sweet departed sister. The "bad patch" they had been through was so devastating that they retreat into dark, secret places inside. One wonders how Luce musters the money and resourcefulness to care for the children after the shocking events of her own life. Luce is the driving force in the novel. She values her freedom and solitude. She has both mysticism and quiet strength about her. "What I want most is the ability to whistle the song of every bird in the area." Charles Frazier, author of Pulitzer Prize winner Cold Mountain, is a skilled wordsmith. The book is rich in description and the author casts a spell over us with Luce's character. Frasier's omission of the use of quotation marks is a mystery to this reviewer. Although we follow a circuitous route to figure out the story lines, the plodding plot comes together in the end. Nightwoods is aptly titled. The book is dark. Despite the violence wreaked upon humans, the peaceful and mysterious woods, home to soothing cricket sounds, hover over the book as a main character. Random House through Library Thing graciously supplied the review copy for my unbiased opinion. Reviewed by Holly Weiss, author of Crestmont
I don't understand some of the criticisms i've read of Frazier's prose. His writing style paints vivid images of the characters, town and surrounding North Carolina mountains and accents the tight and precise narrative perfectly. Coming in under 250 pages, the descriptiveness doesn't add unnecessarily to the length of the book. The slow-burn creep factor within the tale envisions something along the lines of a Cohen brothers film. I recommend this book.
I was excited to read this book and was not disappointed. loved every minute reading it.
Charles Frasier has become my favorite author and his latest does not disappoint. His previous novels, Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons, were set in the 19th century south. This one is set in the mid-20th century, but readers will recognize the author's familiar and vivid descriptions of the southern landscape that are inherent in his latest. Once I picked it up I could not put it down...I highly recommend it.
Gripping tale with superbly drawn characters, lyrical but simple writing, and a true sense of place.
In Charles Frazier's Nightwoods, powerful human emotions are covered with beautiful prose and deep insight. Set in mid-twentieth century Appalachia, the story centers around a woman who has done her best to separate herself from the rest of society. When her sister is murdered and the two orphaned children are sent to live with her, she accepts them into her home with a sense of duty to her sister. The children change her whole world and she does her best to help them along their path. Human relationships past and present help in the telling of this suspenseful and touching tale.
I really enjoyed this book and it is beautifully written.
Charles Frazier writes beautifully about nature and people of nature. This was a wonderful story and the characters were well developed. I would love a sequel.
I love Charles Frasier's work, found this one very engaging. Riveting story, great characters.
Charles Frazier is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved this novel as much as I enjoyed Cold Mountain. Set in Appalahia during the early 1960s, Frazier uses vivid descriptions and various narrations to tell a mysterious story.
This book was disappointing to me. While the plot was good and there was potential, I did not care for the way Frazier wrote it. He goes on and on with descriptions throughout the book, and most of the time I found myself getting impatient and wishing he would just get on with the story already! Most of the time he would go off on a tangent and it was tedious, almost painful, to read. And the way he developed the characters, it was like I was reading about them through a fog; I never quite really "knew" them. I ended up forcing myself to finish this book.
Beautiful story.
I havent gotten this involved in a book for a long long time. Highly recommended!
The first 2/3 of the book was a little slow, but the description of the environment was very good. It picks up - I am happy with how it ended.
I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't deliver at all. It was slow throughout and I kept hoping for it to pick up and get more interesting. But that was not to be and I had to force myself to finish it. I didn't find the characters interesting, either. About the only thing I enjoyed was the description of the mountains and countryside. Overall, it was a big disappointment and far from captivating.
Beautiful, haunting story, beautifully written!
If you haven't read Frazier yet, you need to now.
Wonderful book. This author never fails to please.
Wonderful writing, combined with intriguing characters and plot. At first I could not understand Luce's life of solitude, but soon I could see why she worked so hard to protect herself. I had a hard time putting down this book, but was sad when I finished.

No matter who says what, this show gave me the laughs HIMYM and Friends provided. Some say a cheap knock-off, some say a ripoff but the fact remains that the show delivered what they promised.
As far as the characters go, they were well defined than that of HIMYM. One could honestly see the characters evolving and growing than left to assumption. It moved faster every week and led one to what they had projected and did not keep one hanging whilst attempting to make viewers curious about the next season. Personally i think they fell prey to network politics just like Rules of Engagement did for that crappy Rob Schneider show.
Its a shame that the show got canned considering the potential it carried. I hope they come back to the tele soon.

555 F2d 244 Estate Lowe Crocker National Bank v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
555 F.2d 244
ESTATE of James R. LOWE, Deceased.
CROCKER NATIONAL BANK, James R. Lowe, Jr. and Margot H.
Lowe, Co-Executors, Petitioners,
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent.
No. 76-2105.
United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit.
June 3, 1977.
Bruce M. Casey, Jr., argued, Chickering & Gregory, San Francisco, Cal., for appellants-petitioners.
Lemuel Matthews, Jonas, Matthews, King & Mahan, San Francisco, Cal., Jeffrey S. Blum, Atty., argued, Tax Div. Leonard J. Henzke, Jr., U. S. Dept. of Justice, Washington, D. C., for respondent.
On Appeal from the Decision of the United States Tax Court.
Before MERRILL and CHOY, Circuit Judges, and BONSAL,* District Judge.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the Tax Court erred in finding that the value of certain property transferred in trust is includable in the gross estate of decedent James Lowe as having been transferred by him "in contemplation of death" within the meaning of the former version of Int.Rev.Code of 1954, § 2035.1 We affirm.
Since the property was transferred for less than adequate consideration within three years of Lowe's death, it is presumed to have been transferred in contemplation of death "unless shown to the contrary." Id. § 2035(b). See First Nat'l Bank v. United States, 488 F.2d 575, 576 (9th Cir. 1973); Estate of Compton v. C. I. R., 532 F.2d 1086, 1087 (6th Cir. 1976); Berman v. United States, 487 F.2d 70, 72 (5th Cir. 1973). The Tax Court held that the estate had not met its burden of proving to the contrary, and it found that the transfer in trust was made by Lowe "in contemplation of death." See Allen v. Trust Co., 326 U.S. 630, 635-36, 66 S.Ct. 389, 90 L.Ed. 367 (1946); United States v. Wells, 283 U.S. 102, 115-20, 51 S.Ct. 446, 75 L.Ed. 867 (1931); Gillette's Estate v. C. I. R., 182 F.2d 1010, 1015 (9th Cir. 1950). Having given due consideration to the factors advanced by the parties including Lowe's state of health at the time of the transfer, his previous marriages and eventual third marriage, and the numerous wills, codicils, and inter vivos trusts which he executed between 1961 and his death in 1969 we cannot say that the Tax Court's finding of fact, see Allen, supra at 636, 66 S.Ct. 389, is clearly erroneous. Fed.R.Civ.P. 52(a); Int.Rev.Code of 1954, § 7482(a); Gillette's Estate, supra at 1013-14 (applying former § 1141(a), now § 7482(a)); Sullivan's Estate v. C. I. R., 175 F.2d 657, 658 (9th Cir. 1949) (same); Estate of Compton, supra at 1088.
Honorable Dudley B. Bonsal, United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation
Section 2035 has recently been amended. See Tax Reform Act of 1976, Pub.L. 94-455, Title XX, § 2001(a)(5), 90 Stat. 1848. Includability under the revised § 2035 no longer turns on a construction of the prior statutory phrase "in contemplation of death." The amendments to § 2035, however, are not applicable to transfers made before January 1, 1977. See Tax Reform Act of 1976, § 2001(d)(1), 90 Stat. 1854. The transfer in trust at issue in the instant case took place in 1967

Really, if our galaxy were the size of a dime, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) would be about the size of a quarter and just 20 inches away. Pull out a dime and quarter and lay them on a table on either side of two hands spread apart to see a rough approximation of the sizes.
Here's a negative image of M31 recorded, believe it or not, in 1894. The telescope was a 24-inch reflector located in Ireland. The astronomers used glass plates treated with a photographic silver halide emulsion as the 'film' to record the image.
Almost all those little black dots are stars in our galaxy. There are no stars in space between galaxies. The somewhat larger fuzzy spots are other galaxies even farther away.
Here's another image of M31 recorded with modern electronic equipment sensitive to x-ray light onboard the Spitzer space telescope. It's in orbit, like the Hubble, but it's designed to see light with shorter wavelengths.
There are more stars in M31 than there are grains of sand on all the beaches on earth.
But don't plan on a trip to Andromeda any time soon. In astronomical terms it's relatively close, but in human terms it's a veeeery long way away. Even at the speed of light it would take two and half million years to get there.
In fact, the pictures we take are created with light that left Andromeda 2,500,000 years ago. Who knows what it looks like now!*
* Actually, the answer is it doesn't look very different. In astronomical terms not much changes in a coupla million years.

Sweet Potato Butter
Be the first to review
READY IN: 2hrs 45mins
Recipe by Chef Joey Z.
My friend Janet from upstate NY came to visit me this past week. While she was in Arizona she stopped at a shop and got me a jar of Sweet Potato Butter. I'd never had it before and being that I love Pumpkin Pie flavour, this really appealed to me. I just love the taste of this butter. This would be great for a tart filling or as a topping on toast, muffins or vanilla ice cream.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes (I used organic)
- 2 cups diced peeled tart apples (organic granny smith)
- 4 cups filtered water
- 2⁄3 cup orange juice concentrate
- 1⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar (organic)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clove
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large saucepan, mix all the ingredients together well. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the mixture is thick and about 1 cup of liquid remains, stir occasionally.
- Process the mixture in a blender in batches until smooth. Transfer to jars or containers and chill for at least 2-3 hours in the fridge. Store in the fridge.
- Bon Appetit!

Quoted on Tuesday and came Friday to complete work, unfortunately I was away for the weekend and so could not inspect work until I returned. Was chased several times for payment even though I was told I wouldn't have to pay until I was satisfied. Not all of the work was completed which means I will now have to find someone else to complete the work. Not all cuttings were taken away and so additional work to clear up, some areas look half completed. No further communications now that payment has been sent.

Mols returns to Utrecht
By Gerrit van Leeuwen
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Former Rangers striker Michael Mols has signed for old club Utrecht.Former Rangers striker Michael Mols has signed for old club Utrecht, after opting to continue his career.
Mols has been without a club since leaving Ibrox in the summer and he rejected offers from Cologne, NEC Nijmegen and Al-Rayyan in Qatar.
The 33-year-old had suggested that he would retire, rather than return to De Eredivisie, but he has now had a change of heart.
Utrecht had been keen on Mols earlier in the campaign but the forward was wary of returning to the club where he enjoyed a fruitful spell.
In three seasons with Utrecht, Mols netted 49 goals in De Eredivisie and he was fearful he would be unable to repeat that success.
But he has been tempted back, after failing to receive any other suitable offers, and he admits it was a quick decision once he learned Utrecht had revived their interest.
"I have always said that I would return here," Mols told the club's official website. "Both parties had an interest so it was solved rapidly."
The experienced front man has penned a contract to keep him with Utrecht until the summer of 2006, although they can sever the partnership at the end of this season.

Skies are mostly clear to partly cloudy across the region, with only high based cu present. Looking upstream, shortwave troughing is slowly moving east over the northern Plains, with scattered showers and storms over the Dakotas. As this shortwave moves east, clouds and temps are the main forecast concerns. Tonight and Sunday...Once the high based cu dissipates, high pressure will provide mostly clear and quiet conditions for much of the night. Will start to see cirrus move into north-central WI late tonight ahead of the shortwave. But the cirrus should not hold up temps much, so will continue to side with the colder guidance for lows. Min temps should range from the lower to mid 40s in the cold spots to mid 50s near the Lake. Mid and high clouds will continue to increase across the region through the day as the shortwave energy arrives from the west. It will run into a much drier airmass below 600-700mb, as deeper moisture will remain west of the region. But combined with some high based cu once again, should see skies turn partly sunny to mostly cloudy after a relatively sunny start. Temps will be near todays readings, perhaps a degree warmer. .LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Saturday Issued at 224 PM CDT Sat Aug 12 2017 Return flow behind departing surface high will bring increased low- level moisture to area late Sunday and Monday. Weakening shortwave trof will move across the state Monday with attendant shower/storm chances. Energetic jetstream over north Pacific undercuts block over central Canada with another shortwave trof moving into Upper Midwest late Tuesday-Wednesday. Models in general agreement on this scenario, although GFS is a bit more aggressive with convection. Yet another shortwave trof moves in later in the week as Pacific energy continues to generate fast-moving systems. GFS again a bit stronger with late-week system. Temperatures should generally be near or above normal during the upcoming work week. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 657 PM CDT Sat Aug 12 2017 Mostly clear skies expected tonight, with ground fog possible for a few hours around sunrise.

He hurts rsquo & Oliver; s dick till it s difficult after which he takes out his prick and Oliver requires a moment to understand the enormous dimension of Mikey s massive penis.

They consider their dental onto the mattress and 69, Mikey rimming Oliver's butt while Oliver functions on Mikey's huge penis, nevertheless when these men are prepared to fuck, it appears like Oliver will need to consider that beast penis.
Oliver gradually lowers herself onto Mikey's bareback prick, getting his time changing towards the dimension as his butt exercises around that heavy base, but when he's got that penis within him Mikey begins to fuck him harder. Oliver trips Mikey then requires it on all-fours as Mikey lbs him natural, pushing that large penis deep within Oliver, and change cowboy! Oliver busts an enormous fan after which Mikey brings out and provides Oliver a cosmetic while Oliver lies on his back together with Mikey and his thighs spread fucking him difficult.

Your first Rajang mission is at the village chief, the final quest("The Final Invitation" quest). However, you should skip this quest first and reach HR5-6.
Recommended weapon:
Abominable Bow(bow type weapon)
What to bring:
- book of combos1-4
- 10 potions, optional
- 10 mega potions
- 20 nitroshrooms
- 20 empty bottles
- 50 power coatings
- Other coatings, optional
- Trap tool
- 1 Genprey fang
- 1 Net
- Pitfall trap
- Shock trap
- 2 Large Barrel Bomb+
- 3 Large Barrel Bomb
- 3 Scatterfish
- 2 Max Potion
- Ancient Potion
- 5 Mega Juice
- 3 Mega Demondrugs/Mega Armorskins
- Powercharm
- Armorcharm
- Powertalon
- Armortalon
- Farcaster, optional
What to eat:
- Kirin Cheese
- Goldenfish Brew
Recommended armor:(any armor with high thunder resistance and high defense)
Head: Leather Helm S
Body: Rathalos Vest S/ Basarios Mail S
Arms: Garuga Guards/Rathalos Guards S/Basarios Guards S
Waist: Garuga Coat/ Rathalos Coat S/ Basarios Coat S
Legs: Garuga Leggings/ Rathalos Leggings S/Basarios Leggings S
!!!NOTE!!!: Garuga armor set MUST be upgraded(and others too)
Next, we should review his attacks:
Attack/Move l Description l Damage l How to avoid
1. Left-Right Punch l Punches from left-right; ends with an earthquake l Very High, seems to be his most powerful move l Roll from your left side/his right
2. Spinning punch l Spins in a fast motion, damaging you l High l Be at the farthest range to avoid this
3. Earthquake l Creates an Earthquake l No damage(if caught in earthquake); Moderate(if not) l Roll/ Dive; Be as far as you can to avoid it
4. Roar l An ear-splitting roar l No damage l Dive; Don't stay near him if he's doing this
5. Back kick l Jumps back(like the Tigrex's or Blangoga's) l Moderate l Roll; Don't stay at his back
6. Thunder beam l Shoots a beam of thunder l High l Roll; Stay at his side
7. Thunder Blast l Shoots a ball of thunder l High l Roll; stay at his side
8. Somersault l Somersaults in the air, then releases a thunder blast l High l Roll/Dive away; stay at his side
!!!NOTE!!!: Rajang's weakness is his head.
When the quest starts drink your mega juice, and then put the power coatings in your bow. If it's your first time, grab a pitfall trap and get out of the camp. While in the arena, watch the cutscene. When Rajang's fur is covered in gold, it means he is in rage. He'll start in rage, so after the cutscene lay your ptfall trap and ready your bomb+'s. !!!NOTE!!!: He can ONLY be trapped IN RAGE MODE. land a few hits on him and just follow on how to dodge his attacks(the table above, i know it's not that good). Just continue hitting his head. When both horns are broken, he is already weak. Land some more hits and he should die. Then, if you have more time, combine nitroshroom and empty bottle(with your bullet limit skill, it will maximize the amount of combination, at the total of 40). The next Rajang is bigger and starts in rage mode. Just don't be afraid of his size and still follow the table above, rinse and repeat and you'll have your D.E.A.D. Rajang. Congrats!!!!^_^
///Using traps///
For shock trap, he can be trapped even when not in rage. so, but it has a little bit less time than pitfall trap.
For pitfall traps, TRAP HIM WHEN HE IS IN RAGE. Or else he will somersault in the air and the pitfall trap won't have any use...

she has a boyfriend and she has stronger feelings for him. Now the hard part is that me and her are best friends. Should I just leave and tell her I can't stand being her friend now that I have rediscovered my feelings for her or just ignore them and hope she breaks up with her bf?
Me and my ex both have feelings for each other but
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
i think that as long as you make sure that you are not crossing the line you can remain friends with her. I had a similar situation but I was the girl with the boyfriend. my ex and I were so close and we talked about everything but then he crossed the line by asking if I would kiss him next time we hung out. that led to my having to say goodbye to him and ending our relationship. so, its completely fine if your friends with her as long as you make sure not to cross the line00|00|0
If you can be friends with her while she is with this guy then be friends because you probably won't be with her but if you cant. you shouldn't be her friend but be happy for her and occasionally say hi but you should try to move on...00|00|0

Tiling in the kitchen. Floor area is approx 16' x 10' Wall area is approx 1.5' x 8 I think...
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

I love music, concerts, the outdoors, photography, traveling, trying new things, and tons of other stuff.
As for religion, I would say I'm more spiritual than anything. I love digging deep into that kind of thing. I don't really think there is one exact way to get to heaven (or whatever it is), and think it's better to show then speak your beliefs.
I also don't drink, or do drugs. Nothing against it, but it's just not my cup of tea. I'm also terrible at the whole flirting thing.
Movies: Donnie Darko, Inception, Lars and the Real Girl, and American Psycho, Django Unchained, Her, The Secret Life of Water Mitty, Deadpool, and any Quentin Tarantino Film.
T.V.- Stranger Things, Parks and Rec, Breaking Bad, Delocated, Psych, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, Adventure Time, Psych, Scrubs, The Colbert Report, Game of Thrones, True Detectives, At Midnight, and It's Always Sunny....
Music- Chance the Rapper, John Mayer, Coldplay, anything with some danceable beats, Ben Howard, Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver, Beach House, Of Monsters and Men, Grouplove, Disclosure, James Bay, Hammock, Tycho, Jack Ü. The 1975, Local Natives, Blood Orange, and the Talking Heads.
Food: Spicy food, Braum's Milkshakes, Cuban Sandwiches, Colada, Pepitos, and Cereal foods are what I'm all about.
2. Sense of adventure
3. The ability to wonder
4. Confidence to try things that other people wouldn't.
5. Creativity
6. Empathy
Extra cool points if you have a tattoo, love non-profit work, love the band Grouplove, Brand New, Hammock, Ben Howard, or Jack Ü. Also, if you are a big fan of Parks & Rec., It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia... have a hoop nose ring, and have a thirst for life that can't be quenched by just staying at home and watching a movie.

Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring And Evaluation Plans & Indicators, Please Download
- MCA Tanzania M&E Plan June 2013 with Indicators ...
- MCA Tanzania M&E Plan April 2012 with Annexes ...
Each compact proposal must have a monitoring and evaluation plan which describes the arrangements to monitor progress and evaluate impact of the
proposed interventions. Specifically the monitoring and evaluation plan is expected to:-
- Give the arrangements to collect performance data to better manage implementation of the program and trigger future disbursements
- Enable reporting to different stakeholders on progress achieved towards reaching the program goals;
- Enable the testing of the assumptions and measure ex-post, in a statistically valid way, the program impact on growth and poverty
- Provide evidence of program, activity and policy reform effectiveness and lessons for future programs
Monitoring and evaluation is closely linked with the economic analysis. It is the economic analysis which provides the basis for selection of indicators,
identification of the baseline data and setting targets and performance benchmarks. The major contents of a monitoring and evaluation plan include:-
- Program logic
- Description of beneficiaries
- The monitoring plan with indicators, baselines and targets as well as data collection strategy and data quality reviews
- Evaluation plan which is usually done by an independent body to compare the situation with the program and what would have been the
situation without the program (counterfactual).
