By Olivia Hamblin, Staff Writer
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Mark Gatiss, Rupert Graves
Network: PBS
Sherlock is an iteration of the story of Sherlock Holmes, originally by Sir Arthur Doyle, with a twist, taking place in 21st century London. Sherlock goes on a plethora of adventures with his partner, John Watson. Throughout the 90 minute episodes, bonds form between both Watson and Sherlock and their mutual love for mystery.
Stranger Things
Stars: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown

A show that encompasses mystery, Stranger Things is about the disappearance of a child
other bizarre occurrences including seemingly malevolent government agencies. The whole town becomes involved, hoping to unravel the conundrum.
Light Comedy
The Office (U.S.)
Stars: Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer
Network: NBC
The Office is an adaptation of the original U.K. version that follows a low-key paper company in Scranton, PA, led by branch manager Michael Scott. While exploiting day to day happenings at the office itself, the show also delves into each co-worker's life, inevitably exposing humor, romantics, and drama.
How I Met Your Mother
Stars: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan
Network: CBS
How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) is about a father, Ted Mosby, telling his children the story of how he met their mother… through 9 seasons. While lengthy, you're left wishing that there was more. HIMYM brings together aspects of family, romance, and humor. If you like this show, you might want to check out Friends and 30 Rock (They have very similar comedic styles).
Parks and Recreation
Stars: Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Rashida Jones
Network: NBC
Through 7 lovely seasons, Parks and Recreation brings together the idea of family, humor, and politics. It is revolved around Leslie Knope, a passionate bureaucrat working at the Parks Department in a fictional town in Indiana, along with all of her fellow co-workers and friends.
Dark Comedy
Arrested Development
Stars: Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera
Networks: Fox, Netflix
Michael Bluth is the son of a fraud committing father who is forced to fix the family business while simultaneously fixing the family after his father is imprisoned. A show that provides a lot of laughs, Arrested Development will take you on a humorous and amusing trip.
Bojack Horseman
Stars: Will Arnett, Aaron Paul
Network: Netflix original
Bojack Horseman tells the story of a retired horse, Bojack, from the 90's sitcom "Horsin' Around". Taking place in Los Angeles, this cynical dark-humored comedy is comical, depressing, and thought provoking. Despite the lack of character arc development, the show makes up for it by really delving into character's attributes themselves.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was told told case will be dismissed but I see this, is this the same meaning?
Nolle prosequi means the prosecutor has abandoned his case for lack of proof and it is thereby dismissed.Ask a similar question
Thanks so it basically means the same.
As i was told to bring the court dismissal document, so it will serve the same?
Nolle Prosequi means the State will not proceed in prosecution. However, just because a case is nolle pros, does not preclude the State from refiling charges or enhancing the charges at a later time.

Please do not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established.Ask a similar question
According to Wikipedia:
"It is a phrase used in many common law criminal prosecution contexts to describe a prosecutor's decision to voluntarily discontinue criminal charges either before trial or before a verdict is rendered."
" Nolle prosequi as a declaration can made by a prosecutor in a criminal case either before or during trial, resulting in the prosecutor declining to further pursue the case against the defendant."
"Courts seldom challenge applications for nolle prosequi, typically judges in the U.S. will sign a dismissal order prepared by the prosecution or make a docket entry reflecting the case has been "nolle pros'ed" after a declaration or motion by the prosecution."
"A withdrawal of the original claim by way of nolle prosqui is not an adjudication on the merits of the claim and thus in a criminal case is not a guarantee that the defendant will not be later re-indicted."
"The entry of a nolle prosequi as a disposition is, by itself, not an adjudication on the merits of the prosecution or on the guilt or innocence of the accused, and the legal protection against double jeopardy will not automatically bar the charges from being brought again."

Nothing in this answer should be construed as creating an Attorney-Client relationship. If you need legal advice, you should contact a licensed attorney.Ask a similar question
Nolle Prosequi is a voluntary motion by the prosecution to drop the charge(s). Once the motion is granted, you will often hear the Judge say, "case dismissed;" however, a true dismissal is different in that the Judge is the one dismissing the case, absent the prosecutor's input. s

Physical QWERTY Android smartphones are hard to find these days. In the last three and half years, smartphones have been through constant reinventions.
Therefore, today no one would like to use a handset with physical key-board, even if it sports a touch screen. However, India-based Intex wants to revive the trend of touch and type Android smartphones. The firm earlier this week teased its first ever physical keyboard ducked Android handset on their official Facebook page.
Intex Touch and Type Smartphone: What to Expect?
Recently, the company has shared more details about the device through a teaser image. The teaser image suggests that Intex's first ever QWERTY Android smartphone will indeed feature a 3.5-inch display. In case the rumors haven't been enough, Intex is on the verge to announce the device anytime soon.

Intex Touch and Type Smartphone- Spec Sheet
The previous day, domestic handset manufacturer Intex, also hinted at possible specs of their upcoming Touch n Type smartphone. Reportedly, the smartphone would come with a 3.5-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor and run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Yes indeed, the handset will support dual-SIM.
That broad hint could be enough to tempt you consider the phone at least once. Doesn't it? But don't get swayed until unless the company officially reveals the handset with confirmed specs and official price.
Intex Touch and Type Smartphone: Will You Buy it?
Full touch screen phones may have conquered the market, but it is hard to ignore a phone with a physical keyboard. If BlackBerry can sell handsets with a physical keyboard, what stops other smartphone makers to follow the same approach?
Now, it seems that Intex has found a way to win over consumers' as not a single mainstream manufacturer is ready to sell touch and type handsets any more. At the same time we need to clarify that Nokia is selling touch n type phones (Nokia Asha 210 and Asha 205) running Symbian OS in India that too at an affordable price. But in terms of competition, Nokia-made Asha 210 and the Asha 205 are not fit to face prime time.
Advantages of Touch and Type Smartphones
· Fast Typing
· Best suited for Chat-addicts
· Best typing experience over virual keypad
Let us know in the comments section below, will you would like buy a QWERTY smartphone over a touch smartphone.
Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-1330) Provide runtime privilege checking for grant/revoke functionality
|Wed, 12 Jul 2006 03:48:32 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1330?page=all ] Mamta A. Satoor updated DERBY-1330: ----------------------------------- Attachment: Derby1330uuidIndexForPermsSystemTablesV5diff.txt Derby1330uuidIndexForPermsSystemTablesV5stat.txt With the earlier (uncommitted) patch, one of the tests in derbyall was failing for following sql grant execute on function f_abs to mamata2, mamata3; The execution of grant above needs to add 2 rows into SYSTABLEPERMS. And each one of those rows need to have a unique uuid. In my earlier patch, I had forgotten to reset the uuid in TablePrivilegeInfo.executeGrantRevoke and that is why the test above was failing. Similar change is required in RoutinePrivilegeInfo.executeGrantRevoke for grant on a function to multiple users in one statement. Also, I had said in the comments for earlier patch that there is no need for a constructor in ColPermsDescriptor which takes permission types in the form of an int. While prototyping revoke references privilege, I realized that we do need that constructor. So I am going to leave the constructor as it is and it's usage will be clear once I have the patch fo revoke references privilege ready. Can someone review the patch (Derby1330uuidIndexForPermsSystemTablesV5diff.txt) for me and commit it if it looks good? > Provide runtime privilege checking for grant/revoke functionality > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1330 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1330 > Project: Derby > Type: Sub-task > Components: SQL > Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Reporter: Mamta A.

In order to do that, first we need to collect the privilege requirements for various database objects and store them in SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM. Once we have this information then when a user tries to access an object, the required SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM privileges for the object will be checked against the user privileges in SYS.SYSTABLEPERMS, SYS.SYSCOLPERMS and SYS.SYSROUTINEPERMS. The database object access will succeed only if the user has the necessary privileges. > SYS.SYSTABLEPERMS, SYS.SYSCOLPERMS and SYS.SYSROUTINEPERMS are already populated by Satheesh's work on DERBY-464. But SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM doesn't have any information in it at this point and hence no runtime privilege checking is getting done at this point. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Expansive world in modern super-deluxe HD graphics
Features ability to pause time in combat, target specific body parts, and queue up attacks
1st- or 3rd-person perspective
The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.
The Story: Vault 101 – Jewel of the Wastes
For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.
Limitless Freedom! – Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland! See the great monuments of the United States lying in post-apocalyptic ruin! You make the choices that define you and change the world. Just keep an eye on your Rad Meter!
Experience S.P.E.C.I.A.L.! – Vault-Tec engineers bring you the latest in human ability simulation – the SPECIAL Character System! Utilizing new breakthroughs in points-based ability representation, SPECIAL affords unlimited customization of your character. Also included are dozens of unique skills and perks to choose from, each with a dazzling variety of effects!
Fantastic New Views! – The wizards at Vault-Tec have done it again! No longer constrained to just one view, experience the world from 1st or 3rd person perspective. Customize your view with the touch of a button!
The Power of Choice! – Feeling like a dastardly villain today, or a Good Samaritan? Pick a side or walk the line, as every situation can be dealt with in many different ways. Talk out your problems in a civilized fashion, or just flash your Plasma Rifle.
Blast 'Em Away With V.A.T.S.! –Even the odds in combat with the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System for your Pip-Boy Model 3000! V.A.T.S. allows you to pause time in combat, target specific body parts on your target, queue up attacks, and let Vault-Tec take out your aggression for you. Rain death and destruction in an all-new cinematic presentation featuring gory dismemberments and spectacular explosions.
Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence! – At Vault-Tec, we realize that the key to reviving civilization after a global nuclear war is people. Our best minds pooled their efforts to produce an advanced version of Radiant AI, America's First Choice in Human Interaction Simulation. Facial expressions, gestures, unique dialog, and lifelike behavior are brought together with stunning results by the latest in Vault-Tec technology.
Eye-Popping Prettiness! – Witness the harsh realities of nuclear fallout rendered like never before in modern super-deluxe HD graphics. From the barren Wasteland, to the danger-filled offices and metro tunnels of DC, to the hideous rotten flesh of a mutant's face.

Tim Cook told analysts Tuesday that the current lineup of iPhones "experienced the highest Android switcher rate" in three years.
To put that claim to the test, the folks at Consumer Intelligence Research Partners took a look at their data.
In the U.S. market, which is what CIRP tracks, they see more and more iPhone customers coming back to Apple for the latest model.
But they don't see a big change in the rate of Android switching.
"Over time, the share of iPhone buyers that come from the Android operating system has varied seasonally, yet remained relatively consistent," said Josh Lowitz, CIRP Partner and Co-Founder.
But remember, these are U.S. numbers.
"It appears," concludes CIRP's Mike Levin, "that Apple enjoyed a much higher rate of Android switching outside the U.S. than in the more mature U.S. market."
That seems reasonable. And it jibes with the news coming of out China, where Canalys reports that Apple overtook Xiaomi, Samsung, and Huawei last quarter to take the top spot in smartphone sales.

[Verse 1: Wally Left]
Back in the day when cube was relaxing with Dre
And Snoop was asking his name, I wasn't even knowing
Now i'm taking halos holding hope around my throat
Like the wave ain't sunk a boat or two before
Who'd have known that Left was LeftCoast
Before the tape, now you know the name and know the goals
I know the flows noteworthy, coupled with quo tables
Who's to tell me that they won't feel me
Really, break the bars down it's apparent they won't bail me
No bond. I'm no Barry. I'm a Dodger
Gotta know the basics before you sit at home where the home made plates is
I chose Dodgers cuz they came from BK to LA
And, well, influence rose from both coasts
I will say I seen Friday, my homies like to ash it too
I'm more like Craig though, I ain't the one you should pass it to
Got off my ass, got off the stoop, and got to it
Got you tuned in too, now who you call for ya 2 cents? It's Left
[HOOK: Wally Left]
I got the Crown Royal on me, I tip it like a 40 for the homies
Yeah, you know me
Yep, yep, yep, you know me
It's Wally Left
I got the Crown Royal on me, I tip it like a 40 for the homies
Yep, yep, yep, you know me
All for gold and o's I got audio oz's
[Verse 2:Wally Left]
If I think it out imma ink it out
Its rare when the American needle and silver links is out
We got the steeze, we need the clout to keep from beie weeded out
Like Smokey when folks is bringing out they dough
I'm due respect, do the knowledge
Wally is loopy on the loops
I do it til my pockets is looty and the ladies is loose
And I did it all without gripping a lit lucy
Chill, my whole crew will hit the base if you ain't proper when you pitch to me
I'm out ya league, you need Hitch or you'll be history
He swung it and missed and went missing it ain't a mystery
Left is just a local all star
To get a break I will/wheel axe all/axel of you niggas like the car parts
Just to see the ones I love living elite yo
I'd tussle with Debo or be like Caine… runnin' with a kilo
But I do that now, may these audio files be worth while
What they call me round town? It's Left
Dub-A-DoubleL-Y & A L but it ain't no losers on that left side (x4)
What's my name? I said what's my name? Yeah
In this song, Wally explains the concepts with which this tape was built upon. The World Series EP's has deep ties to the LA Dodgers and the west coast. There are also plenty references to the movie Friday.
The "crown royal" in question is his trademark blue Dodgers snapback.

Super Simple Beer Bread
Recipe by Amanda
My grandmother (Mimi) found this recipe in a magazine and sent me a copy. I am sooo not a baker. I fail at every attempt. Except for now! Super easy, super tasty and super fail proof! It was noted on the recipe, by whomever developed it that if you thick slice bread and toast with butter, it is even yummier. However, at my house- loaves dont seem to last to breakfast time!**Note, Does NOT make a pretty smooth loaf of bread. Very rustic!**
Top Review by BMac5440
I've been making it for years. If you like the Pampered Chef or Tastefully simple mix, guess what, this is it!! You're paying $5 for 3 cups of flour and little sugar! Try different beers or any carbonated beverage. Most of the mixes use 3 T melted butter and no salt so you can do that too. Enjoy, it's very good!

Hickory, NC (PressExposure) September 25, 2007 -- Cute As A Bug online boutique proudly announces the arrival of the first of the fall shipments from Rare Editions for their customers. Rare Editions has been dressing little girls for over fifty years. Known as both a traditional dress house and also one that incorporates fashion and fun into their clothes, Rare Editionsâ goal is for every little girl to want to wear their dresses and every mother to feel that she has purchased a quality garment for her child.
Mary Riggs, owner of Cute As A Bug, has dedicated her business to finding and offering quality and stylish childrenâs clothes to her customers. She is especially interested in helping the plus size children who have trouble finding appropriate clothes for their size.
Besides offering appropriate clothes at affordable prices though, Riggs says itâs important for these children to get the right fit. âWe all see children wearing ill-fitting clothing that makes them look either larger or sloppy. One only has to go to the local mall!â says Riggs. âThese children are wearing regular size clothing but could use a half size for a better fit. And a better fit will complement their body type more and add to their self-confidence.â
To that end she has added a conversion chart to her website: http://www.cuteasabug.biz Moms can click on the link to see what half size their child should be wearing for a better fit.
Featuring children's boutique clothing for girls and boys, other brands Cute As A Bug carries include: Carriage Boutique, Petit Ami, Rare Editions, BT Kids, Nannette, Lilâ Jellybeans and more. The store sells: a full line of flower girl dresses, girlâs special occasion dresses, Christmas dresses, Easter dresses, pageant dresses, smocked clothing, sundresses, party dresses and first communion dresses at children's discount clothing prices.
In addition they offer swimwear and sleepwear for both girls and boys as well as unique baby gifts.

"My pool is old…18 years and counting. In all that time I have been thru LOTS of pool service companies until Pelican Bay Pools… These guys are great!!! They show up on time, brush, vacuum, play scientist with the chemicals and backwash when needed. But the biggest value is the early alerts that something needs to be fixed. These early warnings have saved me hundreds of dollars if the need for a small repair was missed resulting in larger more expensive repairs!"Athena V., Scottsdale
"Pelican Bay Pools has been servicing my pool for 3 years now. I have had nothing but excellent service and knowledge. They have great knowledge of servicing my equipment. They are prompt in service time. I have and will continue to recomend them to all friends and family."Barry S.
"We have had Pelican Bay Pools service for some time now. They have provided excellent service each and every time. They are timely and very professional."James R., Glendale
"Pelican acid washed my pool and performed lighting and pool pump repairs. I was very pleased with their service and would recommended and use Pelican again. My pool also needed the scale removed from the tile and they referred a contractor who did an outstanding job."Rich T
"We called when our pool was green – there was a problem! They came right out, fixed it, and we were swimming two days later. We were so impressed by Larry's honesty and hard work that we called them back out to do an acid wash on our pool. It looks great – much better than we could have done ourselves! Thanks!"satisfied client
"We have been using Pelican Bay Pools for almost a year now in our real estate business. They have been wonderful to work with from the services they have performed to ease in the administrative side. They are quick to respond and the quality of the work has been excellent. We are looking forward to a long relationship with this company."satisfied client
"Larry and his wife run a great business. She called to get details about my pool and desired services and I explained what I was looking for – and what the last guy did wrong. They were very understanding and presented me with a great price. On Larry's first visit he spent more time inspecting and cleaning things than the previous pool servicer did the entire time I used him. Larry is very detailed and extremely thorough. He's not just in and out to get your money. He leaves a noted invoice to let you know what he did while at your house. Larry is extremely professional and clean cut. Definitely worth hiring!! Highly recommended!"Kyle F
"I had spent $12,000 in the last year and a half to renovate my pool. I was having a difficult time keeping the chemicals in balance and was not able to enjoy my new pool. I got a flyer in the mail from Pelican Bay and was reluctant to have someone clean and add chemicals to MY pool. I called just for a price quote and spoke to Larry, the owner. He was honest and up front about the possible costs and gave me a great introductory price for the first few months. Larry showed up when he said he would and told me that I was not obligated by any means if I did not like his service. Within a week of the first cleanings, adjustments to the automatic cleaning system and chemical treatments, I was swimming in the clearest water I have ever had in my pool. I truly hated that pool until Larry worked his magic. Thank you Larry for the fine work and honest service. See you on Fridays…"John C.
"I am just starting with Pelican Bay but feel sure they will be good. Michelle Bonner is such a nice person on the phone and a good representative of her company. They already service pools in my general area and their prices are reasonable. Looking forward to a long relationship."Charles B.
"Very friendly. Went over everything with us, even showed us how to work our pool. Great service!"C.D.

Kesha Reportedly Broke Due to Ongoing Legal Battle With Dr. Luke
Kesha Rose is reportedly out of money.
As a result of her ongoing two year (and counting) legal dispute with producer Dr. Luke, the "We R Who We R" singer is now allegedly broke according to TMZ.
"Sources connected with the singer tell us, aside from the fact that Kesha 'has been on ice for 3 years,' they say Dr. Luke has withheld royalties from her. As a result, she has virtually no income," the site reports.
Yesterday, Kesha's mother, Pebe Sebert, announced on Twitter that Taylor Swift made a generous donation to Kesha to the tune of $250,000. Demi Lovato later criticized Swift's silence on the matter.
"I just give more f–ks than other people and would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED than throw money at one person," Lovato wrote on Instagram.
"A persons wealth is not measured by what they have but by WHO they they help with it. And Taylor Swift is is a truly RICH PERSON. Thank you🌹," Kesha's mother tweeted.
"We're told Kesha did not solicit money, and Taylor Swift gave her the $250k on her own accord. Our Kesha sources say so far, no other celebs have donated money," TMZ added.
Dr. Luke's camp reportedly maintains that Kesha is using this lawsuit to "extort a contract renegotiation and money."
Kesha first filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke back in October of 2014, claiming that she had been "sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused" over the course of their 10 year relationship. The producer fired back with a counter-lawsuit, claiming Kesha was lying and trying to extort him to get out of their binding record contract.
Kesha, Then + Now:

Chapter I: Restless
Evy sat in the library of the O'Connell household with a volume spread across her lap and several others scattered across the coffee table and sofa. One could never be too well educated about a subject of interest was her philosophy, and she was constantly found pouring over her many volumes. Rick would constantly joke that she must be careful, using her words that no harm ever came from reading a book, but frankly he was pleased that she was satisfied to simply read instead of dragging him across Egypt yet again.
It had been nearly two years since their last expedition to Egypt had ended in Rick's battle with the scorpion king, and they had not had the chance to return since. Constantly, Evy hinted about returning, but Rick would just as constantly shoot down any requests by saying that after facing the end of the world twice, he just wanted to stay home. Jonathan had finally begun to straighten out his own life, and had even managed to pay off most of his debts.
However, though things seemed well, there was always a catch. After having his first taste of Egypt, Alex was not content to sit by and watch life pass him by as his parents and uncle seemed to do. At the age of eleven, Alex had become something of a terror to his parents and professors. Constantly, they were called into the Administrator's office of his private school because Alex had been telling stories again or had been daydreaming or some other distraction to his class. Though both Evy and Rick didn't mind that their son spent most of his day at the museum, they thought that his schooling was more important than his fantasies of returning to Egypt.
Evy heard the knock at the front door, but didn't move from her place among the volumes on King Seti's rule. She knew that Rick would answer it, eventually. Several minutes later, Evy was deeply interested in a certain passage when the door to the library burst open to reveal a very angry looking Rick followed by a very sheepish looking Alex.
"Evy," he shouted with a near snarl. "We need to talk," he exclaimed as he began to pace the room.
"What's the matter, Rick," Evy inquired nervously. Hopefully, Jonathan hadn't gotten into debt again. She could not bear to see Rick have to bail him out again. It had nearly killed him the last time.
"Our son decided to skip class today in order to enjoy some time at the museum. And he would have gotten away with it too, if he hadn't knocked over a priceless urn ruining an entire exhibit," Rick growled. "That was Officer Kingsley at the door returning our little criminal, and warning us that he is not welcome at the museum anymore. Isn't that right Alex," Rick growled as he turned to their son, who was standing with his hands buried in his pockets looking anywhere but at his mother and father.
"Mum, Dad I can explain," he started but was cut off by Rick once again.
"Save it, buddy. Up to your room right now," he said as he pointed toward the door. Alex didn't need to be told twice, and before anyone could blink he was scurrying out of the room.
"What exhibit did he destroy," Evelyn asked with concern in her voice. She didn't seem to register the fact that their son had cut school or been arrested.
"Evy, how should I know? All I do know is that he is getting out of control. His principal already threatened to suspend him if he refused to behave. After this debacle, we'll be lucky if they let him back inside the school," Rick continued to pace as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"He must learn to be more careful. What if he had damaged a sarcophagus or…" Evy was cut off by a disbelieving Rick.
"Evelyn, I don't care what he ruined. Ever since we got back from Egypt, two years ago, he has done nothing but get into trouble," Rick said as he push a couple books aside to sit next to Evy.
"Rick, boys get into trouble. You should know that," Evelyn defended her son as she grabbed one of the books Rick was holding before he could place them on the floor.
"Evy, I was a little boy once but I never got into this kind of trouble. I put frogs in little girls' hair and chased the neighborhood cats. I didn't raise the army of Anubis then spend the next two years raising hell for my parents," Rick said softly as he watched Evy ignore him as she thumbed through a book trying to find her place.
"I know just what he needs Rick," Evelyn spoke suddenly after several moments of comfortable silence. "He needs to go back, and get his adventures out of his system. If he sees that Egypt isn't always as exciting as raising three thousand year old mummies from the dead, then maybe he'll find something else to fascinate him," Evelyn spoke wisely.
"No, absolutely not. You know why? Because every time I set foot in that country, I either nearly die or the world nearly ends. I have had enough of Egypt for the next ten lifetimes," Rick said before he noticed Evy's pout. Her big brown eyes pleaded with him like a puppy for a treat, and Rick found himself fading fast. "Are you suggesting that we simply let Alex loose in Cairo and hope he comes back completely disillusioned with the place," he asked curiously.
"No, of course not. What do you think I am… naïve? Don't answer that Rick unless you will enjoy sleeping on this sofa tonight," Evy amended as she noticed Rick open his mouth. "It has been quite a while since we have enjoyed the thrill of Egypt and I thought we could spend his winter break there. We will find him a governess to make sure that he keeps on top of his studies and makes sure he doesn't get into any trouble. And we, my dear husband, can spend our time studying the treasures of Egypt," Evy said as she snuggled into Rick's arms as she pointed to a picture in one of the volumes. "I wish to go searching for this. It was the possession of King Seti I's daughter, and I think it would be appropriate that we are the one's to find it," Evy said as Rick studied the drawing of a beautiful looking necklace. It was a golden jeweled choker with a large deep red stone at the center and several smaller ones hanging below it. It was a beautiful piece of jewelry, but Rick was still unconvinced.
"I suppose you'll tell me this time that no harm ever came from wearing a necklace," he joked as he closed the book before kissing his way down Evy's neck. When she pulled away with her eyes pleading, Rick finally sighed. "Very well, we can return to Egypt, but only for winter break. But who in their right mind would wish to be governess for our dear son? Do governesses even still exist," he relented, knowing that he would have no peace if he didn't.
"I'm sure that we will find someone willing to look teach him. He is not such a bad child if he is occupied," Evy said just as there came a crash from upstairs.
"I swear that boy will be the death of me," Rick growled as he jumped off the sofa and stomped out of the room. Evy just laughed at her husband's temper, and returned to study the picture of the golden necklace once again. They would go back to Egypt where another adventure would await them.

This past month, DriveSpark broke down which were the top selling cars and two-wheelers:
Top 10 best-selling cars during Sept. 2015
Top 10 best-selling two-wheelers during Sept. 2015
Top 10 best-selling cars in India (FY 2016, second quarter)
Top 7 most exported cars from India
Now, let's take a look at the ten worst selling cars in India, during the second quarter of the financial year 2016. The cars on the list were selling in decent numbers before they had a facelift. But what happened then?
10. Nissan Sunny
At number 10 is the CAAAR. The Nissan Sunny sold 461 units in the second quarter of the 2016 financial year, in spite of being offered with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), at an affordable price.
9. Hyundai Elantra
Taking the ninth place is the Hyundai Elantra. The South Korean made Elantra struggled with sales ever since its launch in India nearly 10 years ago. A facelift and the new fluidic design has not helped the car do well in the Indian market. Hyundai sold 399 units of the Elantra.
8. Fiat Linea
The Fiat Linea takes the eighth place. The Fiat sedan is a very good looking vehicle in terms of exterior design, but failed to attract customers. Even the turbocharged petrol engine failed to attract young enthusiasts in the country. Fiat sold 371 units during the second quarter of financial year 2016.
7. Chevrolet Sail UVA
At number seven is the Chevrolet Sail UVA having sold 349 units. Chevrolet as a whole itself is struggling in India to sell cars. However, the new launches being lined up could make a difference.
6. Renault Pulse
Coming at number 6 is the Renault Pulse hatchback. The Pulse has maintained the same position for a year now, although sales increased marginally. During the Second quarter of FY15, Renault sold 225 units, while this year, 279 units have been sold.
5. Mahindra Vibe
The Mahindra Vibe takes the fifth place having sold 206 units. Based on the Verito, which is actually a good selling car, wonder why the Vibe never sold. May be it doesn't end with an "Oh" like all the Mahindras (Quanto, Bolero, Verito, etc.).
4. Chevrolet Cruze
Another Chevrolet car in the list . . . and it's the Cruze this time, having sold 143 units during the second quarter of FY16. Good power, reliable build quality and good looks failed to attract customers.
3. Renault Scala
Competing on this list is the Nissan Sunny's Renault counterpart, the Scala. The car could only be termed as a waste of space, since that is what it offers in abundance. The Renault Scala sold 119 units this FY second quarter, compared to 199 units it sold during the same time last year.
2. Ford Fiesta
The Ford Fiesta takes the second spot to become the second worst selling car in India during the second quarter. Not that the Fiesta did really well last year during the same time, but comparatively, the Fiesta sold 339 units and held the tenth place on the same list during 2015. And this year the Fiesta is in the second spot having sold just 39 units.
1. Renault Fluence
People would either love the design or hate it. The Renault Fluence created quite a hype just before its launch, and when it was, it disappointed many. One could buy a Fluence with absolutely all the modern day features or nothing at all. There was no variant in between. The Fluence sold 30 units this year, compared to 42 units last year, during the same period.

Dear <:Firstname:>,
First, let me begin by thanking those of you who participated in our nation's electoral process this week. I have often observed that the Constitution is the greatest invention of humans because it gives us a resilient, self-correcting mechanism for balancing our competing interest. Tuesday gave us a reminder that the citizenry can make course corrections. When the 110th Congress convenes in January 2007, I will be working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address the key issues before our nation. Among our first actions will be to increase the minimum wage as a reminder of the necessity of achieving economic fairness in America; to make college tuition costs tax deductible; and to enact lobbying and ethics reform, as a reminder that we are sent to Congress to promote the general interest, not special or selfish interest. I welcome your ideas and suggestions on issues you believe I should take up in 2007.
Change of Command at the Pentagon
The President's decision this week to replace Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was long overdue. Our men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve leadership worthy of their sacrifice and service. Whether Rumsfeld's replacementformer CIA Director Robert Gateswill be more open to the advice of our military leaders, and to new ways of thinking about how to extricate ourselves from Iraq, is unclear at the moment. What is clear is that our continued, large-scale military presence is counter-productive, and that it is well past time for the Iraqi government to assume responsibility for Iraq's security. I remain convinced that the sooner we announce a schedule for an orderly withdrawal of the bulk of our military forces, the sooner we will see a willingness on the part of the nationalist insurgents to return to the political process. If he is confirmed as defense secretary, I hope Mr. Gates will urge the President to begin such a responsible withdrawal to help facilitate a political settlement in Iraq.
Want To Honor Our Veterans? Hire One!
Earlier this year, the Labor Department noted that America's youngest veteransmen 18 to 24 years oldhad a higher jobless rate than non-veterans in the same age range (17.2 versus 10.4 percent). Just think: a service man or woman returning home from an often-harrowing experience in Iraq or Afghanistan, with all of the skills and maturity gained, has a harder time finding a job than someone who never served. To help address this and other employment problems affecting veterans, I introduced a bill calling on the President to create a permanent "Hire A Veteran Week" to encourage employers to make hiring veterans a priority. The House passed the bill on July 24, and it now awaits action in the Senate. On November 9, I held a press conference in Eatontown with a local company that hires many veterans. The company, Phacil Corporation, provides information technology services, acquisition support, facilities management, security, and intelligence services to the civilian and defense sectors, and it does so with a workforce that is 25% veterans. If every employer made hiring veterans a specific goal (I have two working for me) and if government hiring goals were enforced, we would get the benefits of their skills and experience and we would give the veterans some of what we owe them.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Your logic is sound. However, it may not be that simple.
Tell me this, when you say "a vacancy consisting of 2.45 acres was discovered", are you saying that your grandmother's property was divided and sold and this particular section was never actually placed on anyone else's deed? If so, how long has the property been sold and has anyone been physically inhabiting, using, or controlling the 2.45 acres in question believing they were the owner?
As far as I can tell, the property was never placed on anyone else's deed. The property was probably sold in the 60's, although I am not entirely sure of that. And, yes, someone else has been using and/or controlling the property. I can only assume that they believed they were the owner; otherwise, I would think that they would have tried to resolve the issue before it was discovered during the mineral lease title work. The odd thing is that the producer drilled on the property before this was resolved; however, I think sometimes they do start drilling before the title work is complete.
The letter that I received from the producer states that during their curative work for the division of interest in two of their units, they discovered a "vacancy" that exists between the boundaries of two of the tracts involved. They are proposing that reciprocal quit claim deeds be signed in order to clarify the title on the property. The document also states that I will hold my interest in the minerals for each tract and the current property owners will retain the surface.
At first it would seem you may own this property, however these are the situations that adverse possession was created to remedy and may very well apply to this case. Basically if you think you own the property and possess it continuously and exclusively for a period of 10 years then you may have the ability to have a court grant you title to the property even when you were mistaken as to your ownership.
The law of adverse possession in Texas was articulated well in the following case.... http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/opinions/HTMLopinion.asp?OpinionID=2000871
Here is a relevant excerpt:
Under Texas law, adverse possession requires "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.021(1). The statute requires visible appropriation; mistaken beliefs about ownership do not transfer title until someone acts on them. See, e.g., Bywaters v. Gannon, 686 S.W.2d 593, 595 (Tex. 1985). Thus, there must be adverse possession, not just adverse beliefs.
The statute requires that such possession be "inconsistent with" and "hostile to" the claims of all others. Joint use is not enough, because "possession must be of such character as to indicate unmistakably an assertion of a claim of exclusive ownership in the occupant." Rhodes v. Cahill, 802 S.W.2d 643, 645 (Tex. 1990) (quoting Rick v. Grubbs, 214 S.W.2d 925, 927 (Tex. 1948)) (emphasis in original); McDonnold v. Weinacht, 465 S.W.2d 136, 141 (Tex. 1971). Here, Haliburton shared use of the strip with the Buddes, so her use was not inconsistent with or hostile to their ownership. See, e.g., Brooks v. Jones, 578 S.W.2d 669, 673 (Tex. 1979) ("It has long been the law in Texas that when a landowner and the claimant of an easement both use the same way, the use by the claimant is not exclusive of the owner's use and therefore will not be considered adverse.").
If the people who have occupied the property for 50 years under the belief they owned it were to file a quiet title action, they may find success and the court order that they know own the property. This may or may not have an impact on the mineral rights and you may find it to your advantage to simply execute these quit claim deeds to protect your own interests.
I strongly advise you to seek local counsel and let them review this situation (and the property itself... take pictures). If they determine you would lose an adverse possession action, you will likely want to sign these deeds.

Girls- Do you like wearing heels?
Guys- Do you like it when girls wear heels?
Most Helpful Guy
Love it when women wear high heels!33|00|1
Girls- Do you like wearing heels?
Guys- Do you like it when girls wear heels?
Love it when women wear high heels!
Have an opinion?
Yes love high heels it shows of a womans calf muscles and accentuates the feminine gait. The roll of her hips and bounce ot the buttocks. Mmmmm
I don't much care for it tbh. if you're tall and thin slap em on , a bit wider in stature that's just gonna compress your calves vertically and squish it sideways
It's not needed but when I see a girl in heels, it looks amazing. Their calves, legs and butt are highlighted a lot more :O
I love it.
They can look nice, but I think I feel fairly indifferent about them for the most part. Most of the time I think I would prefer flats.
I can take it or leave it. Sure, it makes their rumps rounder, but I've learned to discount that factor when evaluating girls in heels.
I really don't like it when wonen wear high heels. They make me feel short, and if the zombie apocolypse happend while she was wearing them, she wouldn't be able to run. I don't wanna be with a girl who can't run from zombies :P
I always carry flats with me when i wear heels just incase a zombie apocolypse goes down
In that case, all is good! ... if you are shorter than me with them on at least LOL
No, I hate heels, I prefer girls who wear sneakers.
Yes, I like female legs in high heels
Not really, it is bad for your feet.
I like it when girls wear high heels but hate it when it doesn't fit right or they don't have a feminine walk. Wearing heels makes the legs look longer and helps perk up the booty.
I appreciate it when a woman wears heels for me on dates or what have you. Though I do feel obligated to rub their feet, which I don't think many women would be opposed to that.
I prefer it when she wears running shoes.
ouff girls In heels, what's not to like
A million times yes
Not gonna lie but I love a woman in heels...
No, I find them awkward to look at. I feel that they detract from a girls attractiveness most of the time. To be honest I think I'd prefer chucks or cool boots. I'm not a fan of heels at all. I just think they cause you pain and make you taller, I'm not interested in either of those things.
No̶t̶ ̶u̶n̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶s̶k̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶h̶u̶e̶ ̶h̶u̶e̶ ̶h̶u̶e.
i do indeed like when girls wear high heels but not any large than a four incher
because i think any more is a risk to their ankles and i dont really fancy a trip to ER
its true i twisted my ankle wearing 5 inch heels once... and I'm actually really good at walking in heels
Yes I like seen a girl in heels - It makes her walk very sexy
Yes i do like it when girls wear heels
Love a chic in heels. But I also love a chic who can switch it up.
Yes I like it when gals wear heels. The challenge is that I also am more attracted to gals that are taller than I am. Ahh, such is life. I'm 5'4" by the way
Depends on the scenario, I suppose. If we are going out someplace nice, heels with a short skirt looks fabulous!
Whatever is fine with me and depends on the occasion as well.
You mean naked and only high heals? Then hell yeah
no i prefer flats mostly
Gets me hard
They make women look tacky as hell. Also hate those big stupid shades women love so much.
They are damn cute on girls no matter what :D
yeah i do.. even if they are kinda uncomfortable lol
I looveee how they look!! 😍😍 Painful to wear, and difficult to walk in on wonky streets... Easier indoors though.
I like wearing them.
I think they look great on ne, but I don't think the pain and discomfort is worth it so I never wear them. Besides, my male friends told me that they despise heels on a girl so I trust their opinion.
Yes and no. Like I'm 50/50 about them. I will wear boots/runners and flats over high heels any day! They are just way more comfortable! But don't get me wrong I wear them to work, I'm just over high heels at the moment lol
Hell no. I can't walk in those things. Plus I'm kind of tall so I'll look even more tall.
I'm fairly certain they will be the death of me. I trip over my own bare feet. Wearing heels will be like giving a mouse a cookie.
well, i hardly ever wear them because i'm tall as it is and if i do i wear like 3/4 inch heels not massive ones
but they get really uncomfortable after a while anyway so no i don't really enjoy wearing them
I like seeing them on others but not on me. I look like a giraffe (and probably move like one too).
i bet you don't :)
Love them I own over 80 pair of high heels
(: ha ha (high five)
80! I thought i was bad :')
I love wearing them even if they hurt after a while!!
High heels as in really high? No
Yes, but they're uncomfortable as hell, therefore I don't really wear them.
I love them but @eugene gave a whole new meaning to them, I don't think about high heels the same way lol
@Eugene hahahaha no one is thinking about something perverted, you perv XD
I like them, I just can't walk in them lol
yes, sometimes
It makes you feel taller and more elegant.
I enjoying wearing them.
Love them. I couldn't get by without my heels!
I love them. They help with my height.
i like to wear them now and then, but i'd prefer my trainers any day of the week XD
I like to wear them. Depends heavily on what type of mood I'm in.
Yeah i like them.
I only wear classic ones for work because they don't kill my feet but lets be honest my ass is big enough an my shortness is cute... flats , booties, and sneakers all the way
I don't like wearing them.
I feel more comfortable without them.
I don't care what other people think I prefer wearing flats, as I love to dance!
And I can't dance with high heels that much! :)
Yeah, I'm kind of short so they help with that, they make me look more feminine and feel sexier too ^-^
I like heels, sooo many cool pairs but i don't really wear them. Feel weird doing so ha. Some heels are comfy though. I like wearing wedges or heeled boots. a lot of the places/events i go to, it's not really practical to wear heels so yeah.
No thanks! 👟👞 forever 😅😅 well i only wear heels if it's necessary 👠👠👠😅😅
I used to, but unfortunately they hurt my back after awhile due to getting hurt.
Yes, I like wearing heels. I once dated a short guy that wouldn't let me wear heels around him because it made him feel short lol. I love heels so I found someone else that loves me in them as well ☺
Screw High Heels!
For two main reasons:
1) I am 6 foot 4 (1,93 meters) tall and my length is the best one to have (aside from the aches and pains, lol)
2) I personally think that some women look like men who have remembered every single leg day in the gym and it's just disgusting
Embrace your natural height, don't try add on to your height, sure it makes some outfits look totally fab and gorg but not everything looks good with heels

A Woman Chased By Crows By Marc Strange, ECW, 406 pages, $24.95
Finished off the latest Louise Penny book and wondering what to read next? Look no further than this second Orwell Brennan novel by Canadian actor/TV writer Marc Strange. He manages to make the little Ontario town of Dockerty every bit as fascinating and murderous as Penny's Three Pines, Que., minus the great food.
Chief Brennan has a dead Toronto cop on his hands. The man was following a Russian ballerina who defected to Canada 30 years earlier. She lives in Dockerty, gives lessons to the locals, is paranoid and under psychiatric care. She had lived in Toronto, where she had a history of calls to the police about strange people following her, and on a couple of occasions she confessed to murder. The dead man told Brennan he was following up on a case of murder in Toronto, but none of his colleagues knew about it.
Brennan has the able assistance of two terrific women, who add lustre to the series. The trail leads to a rare ruby that once belonged to the czarina of Russia and has disappeared. Turns out the paranoid ballerina has real enemies.
Strange won an Edgar for his first novel and has been short-listed for an Arthur Ellis. The first Brennan novel, Follow Me Down, is out in paperback and I can promise that if you read one, you'll want the other.
Mr. Kill By Martin Limón, Soho, 375 pages, $27
Most of us know the Korean War only as the backdrop for the TV series M*A*S*H. But Korea didn't end when Hawkeye and the gang went home. Guys like Martin Limón stayed on to patrol the Demilitarized Zone and watch North Korea turn into the world's largest open-air prison. That's the conflict sergeants George Sueno and Ernie Bascom are living with, and it makes a perfect setting for murder.
This seventh novel in the series, one of the best, begins with a brutal rape on a train. The victim is Korean, a young mother, and the Koreans believe the rapist is an American in the 8th Army. But the alleged rapist has disappeared, so Command calls in Sueno and Bascom to find him. The trail is clouded by army apologists. Murder follows, taking Ernie and George into Korean crime and the legendary Korean investigator known as Mr. Kill.
This is a terrific story with great characters, and lots of well written history and information on a country we too often overlook. Limón is a find.
Night Rounds By Helene Tursten, translated by Laura A. Wideberg, Soho, 326 pages, $28.95
Stiegmania has one definite upside: It has opened the doors for a host of Scandinavian (and other European) authors and introduced them to North America. Helene Tursten has been a bestseller in Sweden for a decade, and her Inspector Irene Huss series is one of Europe's most popular. Night Rounds, an early work first published in 1999, is a solid thriller.
The case begins with the murder of an intensive-care nurse in a private hospital. A collateral victim is her patient, who died when the electricity was cut and his nurse was gone. Another nurse insists that she saw the killer. The trouble is, the person she saw – a nurse who committed suicide and who has become a local legend among the staff – has been dead for 50 years.
Soon, another nurse, a friend of the dead girl, is missing. With no clues other than a photo, Huss and her team set to work. Fans of good European-style police mysteries will love this.
A Simple Murder By Eleanor Kuhns, St. Martin's, 336 pages, $28.99
This outstanding debut won the 2011 Mystery Writers of America/Minotaur Books First Crime Novel Competition, and it's as good an argument for continuing these contests as it gets. Kuhns, a career librarian, delivers a superbly researched and beautifully crafted historical mystery, one that I hope lives on in a series.
America in 1796 is a large and forbidding land. Will Rees is an ex-soldier of the Revolution, making his living as a travelling weaver. When his son runs away, he heads after him, ending up in a Shaker community in the Maine woods. There, in what should be a sublimely simple place, Rees runs into murder.
Stray Bullets By Robert Rotenberg, Simon & Schuster, 304 pages, $29.99
Only Toronto lawyer Robert Rotenberg would open a novel with a gunfight at a Tim Hortons. Just who shoots what and why is open to interpretation, but the real victim is a small boy who is shot. And that means a return engagement for Toronto homicide detective Ari Greene, in Rotenberg's best book yet.
This is Rotenberg's third Greene novel, and while the real action takes place in the courtroom – Rotenberg really knows how to build legal suspense – the search for clues is essential. We know who was there at the time of the shooting, but just who actually pulled the trigger is a mystery, and there are other, larger forces at work. Stray Bullets lets us meet the very worldly and delightful Nancy Parish, defence lawyer for one Larkin St. Clair, a nasty young man with a long rap sheet. With Ari on the streets and Nancy in court, this novel zips along smartly.
Bloodman By Robert Pobi, Simon & Schuster, 368 pages, $19.99
Montreal author Robert Pobi has chosen Montauk, Long Island, as the setting for his debut thriller. With multiple murders and a killer hurricane, he has enough action for three novels. FBI special agent Jake Cole is back in Montauk after 25 years away. His long-estranged father, a famous painter, is in hospital suffering from serious burns and dementia. When a double murder happens, Cole is on call. But this murder is different; Cole has seen this handiwork before. The prose can be overwrought, and the twist is one that many may see coming, but there's good writing too: an author to watch.
The Bidding By Bill Haugland, Véhicule, 253 pages, $18.95
Haugland, a former news anchor in Montreal, penned his first mystery featuring Montreal news reporter Ty Davis in 2009. The Bidding is better, as Davis takes on a strange cult in the Quebec Laurentians and a kidnapping and murder. The problem here, as in Mobile 9, is the date. It's 1972, and while the action is as hot as ever, journalism has come a long, long way since, and the old technology makes the story seem dated. Get past that hump, however, and Haugland's plot is a good one.Report Typo/Error
