Vrouw Grobelaar - The Hands Of The Pitiful Woman
Author: Gibbon Perceval
The Vrouw Grobelaar had no opinion of Kafirs, and was forever ready to justify herself in this particular.
"Kafirs,' she said, 'are not men, whatever the German missionaries may say. I do not deny we have a duty to them, as to the beasts of the field; but as for being men, well, a baboon is as much a man as a Kafir is.
"Kafirs are made to work, and ought to work. Katje, what are you laughing about? Did not the dear God make everything for a purpose, and what is the use of a Kafir if he is not made to work? Work for themselves? Katje, you are learning nothing but rubbish at that school, and I will not have you say such things. How could the Burghers work the farms if they had not the Kafirs? Well, be silent, then.
"Oh, I know the Kafirs. I have seen hundreds of them—yes, and for the matter of that, thousands. Just beasts, they are,—nothing—else. Did you hear how the Vrouw Coetzee came to die? Well, I will tell you, and you will see that we must hold the Kafirs with a hand of iron or they will destroy us.
"It was a time when Piet Coetzee was away making laws in Pretoria, and the Vrouw Coetzee, who was only married one year, was alone on the farm with her little baby. There were plenty of Kafirs to do the work; but, you see, there was no man to have an eye to them, and take a sjambok to them when they needed it. So one day the Kafirs came in from the lands and would not work any more.
"Why wouldn't they work? How should I know? Who can tell why a Kafir does anything? Perhaps a witch-doctor had come among them. Perhaps the German missionaries had been talking foolishness to them. Perhaps it began at a beer- drink with some boasting by the young men before the girls. Who can say? But however it was, they came in and sat down before the house, and just waited there.
"Vrouw Coetzee came out with her baby on her arm and spoke to them; but not one moved a finger or answered a word. They sat still where they were and watched her, and others came from the huts and sat down too, until there were close on a hundred Kafirs before the house. Vrouw Coetzee watched them come, and as she stood in the door the two Kafir girls who worked about the house pushed her aside and went and sat down too.
"Then Vrouw Coetzee, looking at the dumb black faces and white eyes, got frightened and went backwards into the house and closed the door. She put down the baby and drew the iron bar across the door inside. From there she went to the door at the back, and to all the windows, and closed and secured them as far as possible. Then she took down the old elephant-gun from the wall, and finding Piet's pouch and the bullets, she loaded it and laid it on the table. All the time the Kafirs made no sign, and from the keyhole she saw them still sitting in silence, watching the house.
"When midday came she made some food ready to eat, and then came a bang at the door.
"'What is it you want?' she cried, without opening.
"'Liquor!' cried one of the Kafirs. 'You have some brandy in the house. Give it to us, or we will come and take it and kill you at the same time.'
"'I have no brandy,' she cried, 'and when my husband comes back I will tell him to shoot you all.'
"The Kafirs laughed, and one of the house-girls called out,
'There is brandy; we have seen it.'
"Then the Kafirs all began to shout together, and banged the door with their knobkerries. 'Give us the brandy!' they shouted, and she heard a stone smash through a window against the shutters.
"The Vrouw Coetzee was a brave woman, and she hated Kafirs; but, looking at the baby, she thought it best to give them the brandy.
"'Stand away from the window,' she cried, 'and I will put the brandy outside; but if one of you comes near me I will shoot.'
"So she placed the brandy on the sill outside the window. The Kafirs were standing about in groups, looking very fierce, but they saw the elephant-gun and did nothing. But as she barred the shutter again, she heard them rush up and snatch the bottles.
"Watching through the keyhole of the door, she saw them troop off to the huts, shouting and capering and waving the bottles in the air. They came to the door no more that day, but she heard them howling in the kraal as the brandy began to inflame them.
"When it got dark she sat down with her face to the door, her child in her arms. The howling of the Kafirs was wilder than ever, and shrieks of women mingled with the uproar. The Vrouw Coetzee trembled there in the dark as she remembered stories of the Kafir wars, and how the Kafirs had treated the white women and children they caught on the farms.
"Late in the night the Kafirs came back and commenced to hammer on the door again.
"'Give us more brandy,' they shouted.
"'I have no more,' she said. 'I have given you all.'
"'You lie!' they screamed. 'If you do not give us more we will come and kill you and tear your baby to pieces.'
"Then the Vrouw Coetzee began to tremble, and, putting down the child, took the big gun in her hands.
"'That is you, Kleinbooi,' she cried out, recognizing the voice of one of the Kafirs. 'Why do you behave like this? What will the baas say when he comes back?'
"'We do not care for the baas,' they replied. 'If you do not give us the brandy we will break in your door.'
"'I have no more,' she said again, and straightway the
Kafirs commenced to hammer at the door.
"The Vrouw Coetzee raised the gun to her shoulder and pointed it at the door. Her arms were trembling so that she could not keep it steady; so, going close up to the door, she rested the muzzle on the iron bar. Then she pulled the trigger.
"The gun went off with a roar and filled the room with a stifling smoke. The baby began to cry, but she paid it no attention till the gun was loaded again. Then, as she snatched up her child and soothed it, she heard wailing and screaming from outside, where the heavy bullet had done its work.
"The Kafirs left her at peace for about an hour, and the noise of the wounded sank to a sobbing. At last a voice hailed her again.
"'We will kill you now,' it said. 'You have shot two men,' and she was assailed with a string of horrid names such as only a Kafir can think of.
"'Where are you?' she called, terrified.
"'Here,' came the reply, and a little stone fell down the chimney.
"'I will shoot!' she screamed, taking up the gun; but the
Kafir on the roof answered with only a laugh.
"'It will do no good,' he replied. 'We shall kill you, burn you in a fire slowly, scald you with boiling water, cut you in little pieces,' and he went on to threaten the lone woman with the most fiendish and ghastly outrages, such as I dare not even give a name to.
"The low devilish voice on the roof went on. 'And your baby, vile thing! You shall see it writhe in the flames, and hear it cry to you, and watch the blood spout from its skin. You shall see the dogs tearing it, while you lie in anguish, powerless to aid it. Yes, we will kill the child first, and slowly—slowly! It shall cry a long time before it shall die at last.'
"Then the Vrouw Coetzee, calling aloud on God, pointed the gun and fired through the roof. There was a laugh again, and before the smoke cleared a big Kafir dropped down the wide chimney and rushed at her.
"Her gun was empty, but the Vrouw Coetzee was the worthy wife of a good Boer, and she raised the heavy weapon and struck him down. He rolled, face upward, on the floor, and as he lay she struck him again. He kicked once or twice with his legs and clutched with his hands; and then he lay still and died.
"It was their plan, you see, that she should fire off her gun and then be taken before she had time to recharge it.
"'Have you got the woman, Martinus?' called a Kafir from outside.
"So you see that, after all, a Kafir is—Katje, what are you crying about?"

A bird collision catastrophe in Galveston made national news recently when 346 migratory birds struck a 23-story building in one night. In the wake of this tragedy, many are wondering what can be done to protect our migratory birds.
You can take action to help prevent bird collisions! Here are ways you can contribute to avian conservation:
1. Keep shutters and blinds closed at night and choose Dark Sky Approved lamp styles when replacing outdoor lighting. Light pollution disorients migrating birds and leads to collisions!
2. Encourage your place of employment to switch off lights at night during migration. This also saves energy!
3. Place bird feeders in the safe zone: less than 3 feet OR more than 30 feet away from windows.
4. Install bird-friendly glass windows (e.g. UV reflective, frosted, or filmed glass) or window netting. You can also place decals or strips of tape on your windows. American Bird Conservancy has compiled a list of recommended products.
Travis Audubon piloted a Bird Building Collision Study this year seeking to record data on bird-building collisions in Austin while building community and raising awareness about avian conservation. To learn more about our study and how to contribute data, visit our Bird Collisions page here.

A Spring in my Step!
Spring is my favourite time of the year. It's a time for rebirth, fresh starts, and longer days. It's a time for sunnier weather, drier grounds, and warmer air. It's a time to get outside, get s*it done and appreciate life, and the things we have around us. Read More
The Swigg: Eating Vegan Down on Swansea Marina
Towards the end of last year, I made a promise to myself that I would take control of my anxieties and social anxiety, and push myself do to more things. January 2017 came around and to my surprise, I followed through with that promise: I find myself saying yes to more things now, even when I don't really want to. Of course, I'm always a bag of nerves doing these things and for the duration of those social activities, my insides are churning, my voice shakes and I stutter and stumble over all of my words. But however awkward I may come across, I'm always happy when I push myself out of my comfort zone, as it's another step closer to becoming a lot less uncomfortable with day-to-day things Read More
Traditional Welsh Cakes.
Being welsh, you would expect me to know better. You'd expect me to want to re-create traditional Welsh recipes and make them vegan and you'd likely expect them to still be tasty and delicious -right? For the most part I do try. But sometimes I get it wrong. Take last year for example. Last year I made a massive faux-par and I turned a traditional welsh cake into a bloody travesty – I tried to make it healthier, vegan, low carb, low-fat and also gluten free – the outcome: less than impressive. I'm still reeling today at my failed attempts. Read More
What It's Like To Truly Have Balance: Life After E.D.
If you scroll aimlessly through social media: whether it be Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter; you will likely fall on a post where some fitness freak is spouting tosh about finding balance in their life and everyone should do this, that, and the other to achieve it too. That's great. Finding balance in life is an incredible thing and it has truly changed me – my personality, my outlook on life, and everything that is involved with the fitness world. Read More
Cruelty Free Eggs: Is There Such A Thing?
So, it is veganuary: the month where thousands of people take on the vegan diet for a month as a challenge for themselves. Some people go back to their normal way of eating after the month has ended and others decide to continue the vegan lifestyle, whether it's just for a couple more months or for life. So, I thought now would be a good time as any to share this post, which I wrote back in the summer, as it was something which got me thinking -is there such a thing as cruelty-free eggs?

Gift Ideas for the Pedantic Vegan, Just Vegan & Everyone In Between.
Last year I wrote my first Christmas guide for the blog: Gift Ideas for the Home Cook, Foodie & Meat-Head. And while it didn't get very many page likes, it was one of my most viewed posts. So this year, I decided to write another guide; only this time for vegans: Gift Ideas for the Pedantic Vegan & Everyone In Between. Now, I don't mean to insult anyone by the title, but I do feel that it is apt for the way some vegans live their lives – I am by no means judging – which can be intimidating for the average person who isn't fully up-to-date with veganism and the lifestyle. And I know this to be true, as a few months ago I had my sister ring me in distress as she was stumped, as to what to buy a vegan: it was all last minute. I gave my sister many ideas, but in the end she settled on an orchid, from fear of having the gift not being fully appreciated.
So with this gift guide, I aim to help you mere mortals – who may fear us vegans – with suitable gift ideas, that are thoughtful and easy to find, which would be greatly appreciated by any vegan; whether they're pedantic or anything in between. Read More

Weekly Round Up #4Jan. 16th, 2013 12:17 pm
Okay so I completely forgot to do this AGES ago and then I got a new laptop for Christmas and I'm trying to work out how it works and then LJ was down for SOOOO LOOONGG also I've been crying about everything but especially hockey and One Direction and exams.
It's Wednesday and I'm going to do my Gov and Politics exam in about an hour. Actually felt okay about it yesterday but now I'm bricking myself so. Wish me luck! I have more exams next week and then months of coursework and then more exams and then I'm home free. Well, if I get into the school I want to go to next year.
[EDIT: I think the exam went okay. Fingers crossed I passed!!]
I decided to start a document of all the fic and books I read this year because last year I felt like I didn't read anything because it was mostly fic but if you add it all up it's ridiculous. 2 and a bit weeks in and I've already way surpassed 1 million words. ONE MILLION. Let that sink in.
I've written things! I have some more rowing au and I'm just desperate to finish it now. I've completely redone yoga au and that's coming along nicely only I'm a bit stick now. My very favourite people to help with fic have been busy lately and I haven't spoken t i_am_ammo n so long I'm beginning to doubt that she's actually a person. Maybe she's a figment of my imagination and I made her up I don't know. Anyway, I also have some actual fleshed out bits of skating au and I think I'm getting better at dialogue? I think. You guys will have to tell me.
I posted a Doctor/Master ficlet thing the other day when I'd had a lot of wine and watched Inception with my Dad. He hated it (Inception not the porny oneshot) because it was 'too intellectual'. I don't understand how I am the product of such a man I really don't.
I have actually very little to do which is nice. I have to tidy up and exams obv and fic to write and a bunch of things to read (These Inconvenient Fireworks, Millie fic, a couple of books that I can't remember the titles of right now, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I've been trying and failing to read for TWO WHOLE YEARS idk it just makes me really sad and I find it hard to read lots of it in one go) and soon I'll have coursework.
I'm growing my hair back! because as much as I've loved having it short as fuck the last couple of years I kind of loved it when it was long and I had the ability to do stuff with it. I never did, but it was nice that I could if I wanted (or if I had any skill with hair)
I miss Franklin and Bash A LOT and I blam jekesta or that because she posted about how pretty MPG is and I watched Garfield the other day and suddenly I want my lawyers back. Suits and White Collar return soon!! I might get up and do a dance I'm actually that excited.
I'm taking a break from watching Hawaii Five-0 because I watched 2 seasons in about a week and I get sick of things very quickly when I'm watching them for 6 hours a day.
I have to watch more of The L Word because I fucking LOVE IT why did nobody direct me to this show before what's wrong with you all.
I started watching Revenge when the first season aired over here but I didn't have time at the time and then last weekend Five Star or someone did a one hour catch up special followed by the first ep of season 2 and I watched that and I'm HOOKED again. I watched a couple more episodes last night and I'm really enjoying it and I love Nolan stupid ridiculous amounts but also WHO WAS ON THE AMANDA WHEN YOU SAW IT SUNK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST EP?? It's giving me anxiety.
A few nights ago I dreamt I met Jake Bass when I was in a bar with my Mum. I asked for his autograph (as you do) and my Mum was like 'Oh! So where do you know this guy from?' and he piped up with 'I used to do porn' (clearly he was retired at this point) and I DIED of mortification because that's not something you ever want your mother to know. I spent the next few days avoiding eye contact.
It's snowing here! Which sucks! Because my driving test was scheduled for yesterday after 3 months of waiting and I couldn't take it because of the snow! My new test date is the middle of February but it means paying for more lessons because none of my family own a manual car and everything SUCKED yesterday. So I stayed in bed instead of going to my classes. Whatever.
THE LOCKOUT IS OVER. OMFG I don't think you guys have seen the extent of my love for hockey yet, but it is COMING and the Blackhawks are playing on Sunday and I'm so excited I might wee (except not because why aren't they opening with Kaner and Johnny on the same line? Or have I missed something entirely, I am new to this sport okay)
My skating is going GREAT. Just, in case you were wondering. Though the rink has been packed for two weeks and I blame Dancing On Ice for all of that.
I could talk about sport all day okay because March is F1 season and I'm so fucking excited to see how Kimi does this year. Lotus were amazingly consistent in 2012 and I'm hoping that the reemergence of Kimi's style from around 2007 towards the end of 2012 will mean he has a chance in 2013 (that was a lot of two thousands). I have a feeling some of the guys are going to be feeling a bit unsettled, what with all the moving around. But Kimi is Kimi and I trust he knows exactly what he's doing.
I should do a fic rec. Yes.
love is a contact sport
by hazel and mermaid
summary "And the tragic reality of Patrick's life is that even though they broke up over a year ago, he and Johnny still play beautiful hockey together." A high school AU, featuring dream-fish, bad movie dates, and a little bit of magic.
read it because All of it really but especially "The movie they pick is some stupid teen drama about debate team and succeeding despite the odds, where the ugly girl takes off her cardigan and glasses and then gets crowned as prom queen. It's right at the end of its run, and so bad that there's nobody else in the theater at 4pm on a Sunday in late July, and Johnny leads them straight to the middle of the very back row, settles down next to Pat, and puts the bucket of popcorn on the seat beside him. Pat doesn't think they're going to be watching much of the movie.
They're kissing pretty intensely by the end of the trailers—one of them looks pretty decent, going by the sounds of the explosions and the voiceover saying, "This Christmas, only one man can deliver the presents. He just has to get out of prison first."
Pat tries for a second to pull away and tell Johnny that they should definitely go see that one, and Johnny just says, "Sure, it's a date, whatever," clearly frustrated, and then sneakily distracts Pat by sticking his hand up the back of Pat's shirt and his tongue back in Pat's mouth.
The usher comes in and breaks them up, and Pat's really fucking grateful for his baseball cap because it totally hides their faces a little—at least, it hide his ace; Johnny's lips are all red and swollen and his eyes ar huge nd dark and his hair's sticking up madly when the flashlight is shone directly at him.
Pat laughs the moment the usher lets herself out, muttering about damn teenagers. "Your hair looks stupid, man."
Johnny snorts. "You did it."

There is a vast difference between a strictly gjba economy and a highly internationalized economy in which most companies trade from their bases in distinct national economies. In the former national policies are futile, since economic outcomes are determined wholly by world market forces and by the internal decisions of transnational companies. In the latter national policies remain viable, indeed they are essential in order to preserve the distinct styles and strengths of the national economic base and the companies that trade from it.

Dear Families,
When we are confronted by obstacles, scrambling to meet deadlines, and responding to constant demands for our attention, who has time to remember God?
As a special reminder of God's wondrous acts, Joshua piled up 12 stones for a monument. He instructed the Hebrew people to tell the story of crossing the Jordan River to their children and to never forget God's power and might (Joshua 4). What can we do to remind ourselves of God's presence and provision as we attempt to cross the rivers in our own lives?
This Sunday at Trinity: Children will hear the "Crossing the Jordan" story…Youth Band meets at 9:30…Cherubs sing at 10:00…Kids Hang Out between services in the kitchen and make pie…we will play "Race to the Monument" during Large Group time.

Two-course lunches will be available for $10 or $15, and three-course dinners will be available for $20, $25 or $30, depending upon the restaurant. (Prices do not include tax, tips or beverages.)

to view the current list of participating restaurants, their special Restaurant Week menus and their contact information!
Do I need reservations?
We strongly suggest that you make reservations, as seating will be in demand during this event.
Who does it benefit?
Henrico Restaurant Week is proud to partner with the Coal Pit Learning Center, which is located in Henrico. The center, which serves underprivileged children, will receive $1 from the purchase of each lunch and $2 from the purchase of each dinner sold at all participating restaurants during Henrico Restaurant Week.
Coal Pit has been providing a low-cost two year preschool and daycare for low-income, at-risk students in the western Henrico area for more than 40 years. Its goal is to provide a quality preschool education for its students so that they are well-prepared when they enter kindergarten. All of the school's parents either work or attend school or are taking a training program. They pay what they can afford according to a sliding scale. Coal Pit Learning Center is the only affordable preschool and daycare for these low-income parents in the county.
In addition to what the parents pay, the center is supported through grants from foundations, churches, businesses, civic organizations and individuals. It does not receive any government funding except from Henrico County, which pays the utilities and cares for the building and grounds.
Coal Pit Learning Center was created in 1976 to prepare low-income students for academic success and to help their families improve their lives. It has educated more than 1,000 students during this time. It takes its name from the historic Coal Pit School, the century-old two-room schoolhouse in which the center operates.
Who created the event?
Henrico Restaurant Week is the creation of the
Henrico Citizen
news organization.

I saw this episode the other day, and I love how the judge yells at the defendent for his ignorant comments. He says the plaintiff isn't "special, he's special olympics". He also said the plaintiff "played like a retard". I'm glad she had no tolerance for that kind of prejudice. It seems like most people I know don't think misusing retard and other phrases that make fun people with mental disabilities is equivalent to racial or sexual orientation slurs.

Calvin's B-ball antics; J.Lo's selective memory; Lisa Marie dishes about Jacko
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, March 27, 2003
Calvin Klein had to be escorted back to his seat by security guards after he attempted to chat with a player on a basketball court -- in the middle of a game.
New York Knicks player Latrell Sprewell was about to inbound the basketball just before the end of Monday night's game against the Toronto Raptors when the acclaimed fashion designer got up from his courtside seat at New York's Madison Square Garden and approached him.
Klein then grabbed Sprewell by the arm and struck up a conversation with him.
Sprewell says, "I wasn't nervous. I was a little surprised, like, 'Is security going to come over here at some point or what?' I didn't know that was him."

Security eventually approached Klein, 60, and ushered him back to his seat. After he sat back down, he yelled, 'Sprewell!"
Sprewell says he couldn't understand what Klein said to him.
J.LO'S MEMORY DILEMMAJennifer Lopez may still be "Jenny From the Block" -- but that hasn't stopped her forgetting at least one of her friends.
Robert Schimmel was a writer for "In Living Color," a TV show that J.Lo worked on as a dancer in 1990, and used to be friendly with the actress-turned- singer.
Schimmel recounts, "The writers used to eat with the dancers and the crew every day. Lunch and dinner for, like, a year. So I used to eat with Jennifer Lopez every night. And we'd crack jokes together, I mean all the writers and her and the girls."
However, a recent encounter with the "Maid in Manhattan" star ended in embarrassment when she claimed she didn't know him.
Schimmel adds, "So I see her in a restaurant in Los Angeles and I said, 'Hey Jennifer, how ya doin'?' And she said, 'Who are you?'
"I said, 'Robert Schimmel.' And she said, 'Do I know you?'
"I said, 'Do you know me?! You ate, like, lunch and dinner with me for a year during In Living Color.'" And she said, 'I don't remember anybody from 'In Living Color.'"
MARIAH CAREY BRINGS HER OWN COOKMariah Carey proved just how much of a good dinner guest she is on a visit to a friend's London home -- when she turned up with her own chef.
The singing superstar, 33, was slated to eat a meal at a friend's home on March 20, where she's promoting her latest single, "Boy (I Need You).
But the New York native was running late from taping a spot on British music show "Top of the Pops" and didn't want her friend to have to cook for her and her other guests at that late hour.
A source says, "When the show finished at about 10 pm, her driver took Mariah and her chef round to the friend's house."
The whole group then went to a local supermarket, where they bought a few ingredients for the chicken dish Carey's chef cooked.
One of the singer's impressed companions notes, "Mariah's the perfect dinner party guest."
PRESLEY DISHES ABOUT JACKOLisa Marie Presley did have sex with troubled pop king Michael Jackson -- and claims the "Thriller" star is just a normal guy underneath his eccentric exterior.
The daughter of Elvis Presley -- who married Jackson in 1994, and divorced him in 1996 -- also insists she was smitten with the superstar, until their relationship turned "ugly."
She says, "I absolutely fell in love with him. But it just got really ugly at the end."
Presley -- whose debut album To Whom It May Concern is due out in April -- realized the singer was just a typical man when the pair began to date.
She adds, "I told him, 'People wouldn't think I was so crazy marrying you if they saw who the hell you really are. That you drink and curse and you're funny and don't have that high voice all the time.'
"But after a while I got some romantic idea I could save him and we could save the world. But then I realized Michael was constantly at work, calculating, manipulating. He scared me like that."
BRITNEY AND JUSTIN BACK ON?Pop's hottest ex-couple Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears have gone out on a secret date -- sparking reports their romance could be back on.
The singing pair met at the White Lotus nightclub in Hollywood on Friday night to discuss their relationship, according to Britain's the Sun newspaper.
A source who witnessed their liaison says, "Britney and Justin arrived just before midnight. They sat together in a corner just talking and drinking.
"They looked like they were getting on well. They left together at around 2 am and got into the same car with their bouncers and drove off in the direction of Britney's house."
A friend of the "I'm a Slave 4 U" singer adds, "Britney is desperate to get back with Justin. They split up because she cheated on him and she regrets it more than anything in the world.
"She's been asking Justin for ages if he'll see her to let her explain how she feels. He has always given her the brush off -- until now."
RICHARD GERE'S TIBETAN VISION"Chicago" star Richard Gere has a unique approach toward erasing the plight of Tibet -- building a world-class spa there.
The devout Buddhist envisions Spa Tibet, where Tibetans would build monasteries, hot baths and meditation rooms -- and the Dalai Lama would be allowed to move back into his place.
The screen star hopes the result would be an influx of Westerners and Chinese to the new spiritual destination, filling Communist coffers and eventually easing the economic drain that China perceives Tibet to be.
Gere already has the backing of high lama of Tibet and India -- but China has yet to approve.
ROLLING STONES OFFSPRING GET TOGETHERRolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have a new collaboration to be proud of -- their children have embarked on a romance.
James Jagger, 17, and Alexandra Richards, 16, have recently taken a shine to each other and have decided to start dating.
A source tells Us Weekly, "They've known each other for most of their lives. But when they just visited their fathers out on tour, they really hit it off."
Sparks were still flying when the teens recently posed together for a Tommy Hilfiger fragrance shoot.
The source adds, "There was heavy flirtation and they were pretty chummy."
ANGELINA JOLIE'S DRESS WAS NEVER STOLENThe appeal for the return of Angelina Jolie's stolen Oscars dress has turned out to be a hoax -- she doesn't even know the man who claims to have designed it.
The "Tomb Raider" actress, 27, was said to have had a figure-hugging red corset dress worth $4,500 designed for her by Scott Henshall stolen just says before she was due to fly from London to Los Angeles for the March 23 ceremony.
Henshall, who claimed the dress was stolen from his BMW, appealed, "I would offer a cash reward to anyone who returned them in time. I have already been searching litter bins in the area in case the dresses were dumped.
"There were 20 outfits in the collection and now the nine most glamorous have gone. There is no way I can remake Angelina's or any of the other dresses in time."
But a source close to the Academy Award-winning star tells Us Weekly, "She doesn't know this man, nor has he designed her dress."
Jolie's dress was, in fact, designed by Giorgio Armani.
But in the end, the whole storm over dresses was for nothing -- Jolie opted out of this year's ceremony, deeming it "inappropriate" because of the current war.
DIDDY'S TIP UPSETRap mogul Sean "P Diddy" Combs flew into a rage while dining out at a Miami, Fla., restaurant -- because his bill was handed to him with the tip already added.
The rapper, 33, visited plush eatery Six Degrees when his bill for two bottles of expensive champagne Cristal arrived with a $40 tip on top.
Sources tell the magazine Us Weekly that after he screamed into his mobile phone, "Why should I pay what they say?" he was presented with a new check.
But the eatery may have been better off if they had allowed Diddy to decide the amount, as one of his representatives explains, "He's a generous tipper."

As birthday parties go, reports CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes, it's hard to beat a blowout celebration in a building that carries your family's name. Especially when a who's-who of Washington makes the guest list.
The Kennedy Center calls it "Some Enchanted Evening." The entertainment includes Senator Kennedy's favorites - James Taylor, Bill Cosby, Bernadette Peters and Lauren Bacall.
It's not Kennedy's actual birthday - he turned 77 a few weeks ago. But the belated bash marks a somewhat rare appearance for the Senator in Washington.
As he battles brain cancer, Kennedy is spending most of his time in Florida, recuperating and writing his memoirs. He does make it to the capitol when necessary - voting on the stimulus bill and just last week attending the White House forum on health care, an issue he's long championed.
But his seizure at President Obama's inaugural lunch was a reminder that with brain cancer, the outlook is often grim. So this is more than just a birthday party - it's a celebration of Kennedy's life.
It's the latest in a string of honors for Kennedy - just Wednesday the British prime minister announced that the Irish senior Senator from Massachusetts had been made an honorary knight by the Queen of England.
"We owe a great debt to the life and courage of Senator Edward Kennedy," said prime minister Gordon Brown.
That, reports Cordes, is a sentiment shared by those at the Kennedy Center on this enchanted evening.

Here are 10 things to consider as you weigh potential tax moves between now and the end of the year.
1. Set aside time to plan
Effective planning requires that you have a good understanding of your current tax situation, as well as a reasonable estimate of how your circumstances might change next year. There's a real opportunity for tax savings if you'll be paying taxes at a lower rate in one year than in the other. However, the window for most tax-saving moves closes on December 31, so don't procrastinate.
2. Defer income to next year
Consider opportunities to defer income to 2017, particularly if you think you may be in a lower tax bracket then. For example, you may be able to defer a year-end bonus or delay the collection of business debts, rents, and payments for services. Doing so may enable you to postpone payment of tax on the income until next year.
3. Accelerate deductions
The second quarter of 2016 marked the fifth quarter in a row of declining U.S. corporate earnings. Low oil prices and a strong dollar were largely to blame for lackluster financial results. 1
Publicly traded companies are required to report quarterly financial results to regulators and shareholders. Earnings season is the often-turbulent period when most companies must disclose their successes and failures.
An earnings surprise--whether profits come in above or below the stock market's expectations--can have an immediate effect on a company's stock price, so it's easy to understand why executives may go to great lengths to impress their investors. Earnings do represent a corporation's bottom line and are generally a key driver of the stock price over time. Still, an earnings surprise may not be a reliable indicator of a company's longer-term outlook, partly because earnings figures generally reflect past performance.
A September 2015 study found that 60% of millennials think planning for retirement is harder than sticking with a diet and exercise plan. By contrast, 61% of baby boomers think dieting/exercising is harder, and 51% of Gen Xers think retirement planning is harder.
If you're an adult in your 20s, you are entering an exciting stage of life. Whether you've just graduated from college or are starting a new career, you will encounter many opportunities and challenges as you create a life of your own.
As busy as you are, it's no surprise that retirement may seem a long way off, especially if you're just entering the workforce. What you may not realize, however, is that there are four very important advantages to begin planning and saving for retirement now.
1. Money management skills
By Peter Gold
Entering or exiting a vehicle by opening a vehicle door and not having another driver see you in the path of traffic has resulted in an estimated one million deaths since the inception of the motor vehicle. We are all guilty of being exposed. In memory of those one million who have died and the 100 men, woman and children who will die tonight, I beg every vehicle owner and every vehicle manufacturer to apply what I have invented to help prevent the needless loss of life.
In December 2015, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, the first rate increase from the near-zero range where it had lingered for seven years. Many economists viewed this action as a positive sign that the Fed had finally deemed the U.S. economy healthy enough to withstand slightly higher interest rates. It remains to be seen how rate increases will play out for the remainder of 2016. In the meantime, try taking this short quiz to test your interest rate knowledge.
1. Bond prices tend to rise when interest rates rise.
a. True
b. False
2. Which of the following interest rates is directly controlled by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee?
a. Prime rate
b. Mortgage rates
c. Federal funds rate
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
For young adults with college debt, deciding whether to pay off student loans early or contribute to a 401(k) can be tough. It's a financial tug-of-war between digging out from debt today and saving for the future, both of which are very important goals. Unfortunately, this dilemma affects many people in the workplace today. According to a student debt report by The Institute for College Access and Success, nearly 70% of college grads in the class of 2014 had student debt, and their average debt was nearly $29,000. This equates to a monthly payment of $294, assuming a 4% interest rate and a standard 10-year repayment term.
In an ideal world, your retirement would be timed perfectly. You would be ready to leave the workforce, your debt would be paid off, and your nest egg would be large enough to provide a comfortable retirement--with some left over to leave a legacy for your heirs.
Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world, and events can take you by surprise. In a survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, only 44% of current retirees said they retired when they had planned; 46% retired earlier, many for reasons beyond their control.1 But even if you retire on schedule and have other pieces of the retirement puzzle in place, you cannot predict the stock market. What if you retire during a market downturn?

Little Richard in a classic pioneer from the early days of rock and roll. His music has been copied by many artists through the years, but his versions are the ultimate, as one listen will prove. The power and raw emotion of his music cannot be duplicated!!!
His first chart hit TUTTI-FRUTTI in 1956 paved the way for the classic hits that would follow…and follow they did. On April 7, 1956 his second chart hit and first Billboard Top 100, Top 10 hit single made its chart debut. His classic recording of LONG TALL SALLY on Specialty Records climbed its way up the Top 100, stopping at #9 and remained in the Top 100 for 19 weeks. The song was written by Enotris Johnson, Robert Blackwell and Little Richard and appeared on the LP, "Here's Little Richard". The single also charted on the Billboard R&B chart, becoming a #1 hit for 8 weeks.
LONG TALL SALLY was awarded a Grammy "Hall of Fame" and was selected by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the songs that shaped rock and roll.
The flip-side of this huge single record is also a classic…SLIPPIN' AND SLIDIN' (Peepin' And Hidin'). The single charted at #33 on the Top 100 and remained on the pop chart for 14 weeks. The song was written by Little Richard, Edwin Bocage (Eddie Bo), Al Collins and James Smith. It was originally recorded in 1956 by Eddie Bo and released on Apollo Records as I'M WISE. Little Richard changed the name when he recorded it also in 1956.
Two classic sides by Richard Penniman…two of many great songs he would record and chart in his very successful singing career. Little Richard would place 27 songs on the Billboard pop charts and many more on the R&B record charts. When the roll call of the "Greatest Rock and Roll Stars" is called, Little Richard will surly be included with the great pioneers of rock, such as Elvis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and the legends of the 1950s rock revolution…
Till the next time—Joe

I was thinking about our capacity to experience emotions, the extent to which we allow ourselves to feel them, the magnitude of their depth, and their transitory nature.
Emotions arrive in various intensities and frequencies, but how do we measure them? How do we establish whether to feed or disregard a sentiment? What is it that determines how much of the emotion we are going to allow ourselves to feel? Are we confining and desensitising ourselves from our own sentiments through this process of extraction? By eradicating our capacity to feel something or not feeling it in its entirety, are we internalising pain and storing it in our bodies?
If we do feel something to its fullest depth, how do we prevent it from having the aptitude to consume our bodies? How do we only give ourselves the capacity to feel enough? What is the emotional gauge for 'enough?' How do we decide that an emotion is redundant and that it is time to let it go?
Are we the ones that govern our emotions? Or do they govern us?

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large head green cabbage, sliced thinly(you want thin ribbons here)
- 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- Fresh ground pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1-2 cups rice, cooked firm to bite (I like to add forbidden or wild rice for the color)
- 1 tablespoon clarified or cultured butter
- Toppings of choice
Place the onion and olive oil in a large pot and set over medium heat. Stir the onion around until it yellows, then add the garlic. Cook the garlic until it's fragrant, but not burned—this will only take a minute or two. Add the sliced cabbage, stir to coat the cabbage with oil, and cook until it begins to wilt. Add the salt, a few grinds of pepper, and the vinegar; then stir to combine all the ingredients. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring every now and again, for at least 1.5 hours—the cabbage should be very soft and tender.
When the cabbage is done, add the stock and bring to a boil before turning the heat to a low simmer. Cook uncovered and let simmer for about 10 minutes. You want everything to heat through. If it's too thick, add a bit more stock or water (you do want the soup to be dense though). When everything is heated through, remove from heat and stir in the butter. Taste and add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve the cabbage over rice and add toppings of your choice: I like chopped spinach, carrot ribbons, cilantro or parsley, or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (anything to add color!).

Mystery Party Kids - this is one of my favorite party themes. The kids just love the element of surprise and of being super sleuths. What's more it is great for kids of all ages right up from ages 7 to teens and for boys and girls.
OK let's get those super sleuths pumped up with this kids mystery party theme......
Here are some ideas for your kids mystery party invitations :
Suspect sketch
Divide into pairs and issue each child with a pencil and paper. Have each pair sketch each other but without letting anyone else see. Write their name on the back along with which suspect they sketched. Attach the pictures to the wall and let the guests try and guess who is who. Give prizes for guessing the correct sketch and prizes to the artists if someone correctly guesses their sketch.
Dig out all your old makeup and let the kids disguise each other with bushy eyebrows, moles, spots…. Have lots of makeup remover to hand!
Police At The Door
Invite a real policeman to the party as a surprise and get him/her to talk about his police work or methods that they use to solve crimes such as fingerprinting.

With the recent news of Detroit filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy and more closer to home the California cities of Stockton, San Bernardino, and Mammoth Lakes, the question remains, what does it means for a city to file for bankruptcy?
The law is pretty clear on what bankruptcy is and sets forth 4 eligibility requirements for filing for Chapter 9 which are found on the courts website. http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/Bankruptcy/BankruptcyBasics/Chapter9.aspx.
All bankruptcies are different, and as such it is hard to compare bankruptcies to one another.
But, basically it comes down to the city not being able to pay the debt that the municipalities have agreed to.
On the one hand it seems odd that cities file for bankruptcy when they will always be able to tax their citizens. Cities get funding from taxing our properties and sales tax on goods. Problems though arise when all those revenue streams dry up as they did in 2008. Property values dropped and people needed to save more, both of these things negatively affecting city revenue.
So what happens to the citizens in the city? Well, most of the cuts that come out of bankruptcy are to government and public workers. A lot of the reason these cities are bankrupt is due to pensions that cannot be sustained due to their high payout assumptions and returns needed to meet those payouts. With interest rates so low, the projections made aren't sustainable. So, the first thing to get cut is pension benefits or public worker hours.
In terms of people who live in the city life goes on. They don't really notice dramatic changes, although change is likely to happen. In short Bankruptcy is never good, but then again, it brings on the option of the city to start anew and hopefully become better for it.

With more stages, classifications and interest in the event than ever before, the 2017 Dubai Tour was another huge success – which bodes well for the race's future. Words by Gruffudd Owen
It was a case of Dubai deja-vu for cycling fans in February as Germany's Marcel Kittel defended his crown at the 2017 edition of the Dubai Tour.
However, while it may have been a familiar face crossing the City Walk finishing line first at the climax of the 124km-long final stage, the truth is that the most recent staging of this annual road cycling race had a decidedly different – and grander – feel to it compared to last year.
First rated as a 2.1 race by the UCI for its inaugural edition in 2014, the Tour was quickly upgraded to 2.HC – the highest-ranking category – in 2015, and has retained this lofty status ever since.
Couple in the fact that it always succeeds in drawing in some of the sport's most recognisable names – two-time winner Kittel and the highly-decorated British veteran sprinter Mark Cavendish to name but two – and it's clear that the event has firmly established itself as a key fixture in the cycling calendar.
However, 2017 has seen the race become even bigger. An increase in both the number of stages and classifications from four to five reflects its importance as a major event in elite-level sprint cycling, while the entirety of this year's final stage was also televised.
The sight of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, watching the opening stage of the Tour roadside only adds to the sense that the race is growing in prestige with each passing year, and with UAE Abu Dhabi winning the newly-created team classification, the significance of the Tour on a local level cannot be ignored either.
The exploits of the team – and in particular those of Yousif Mirza, one of the country's leading cyclists and a participant in the Olympic road race at Rio 2016 – have gone a long way to boosting cycling's popularity in Dubai.
This year's Mini Dubai Tour – a junior event featuring some of the UAE's most promising cyclists – will feature 1,030 competitors, a 243% increase compared to 2016, while it was also recently announced that 105km of new cycle paths are to be laid down in the city, a USD40 million investment that forms part of the Dubai Government's 'Cycling Master Plan', an initiative which aims to encourage greater participation in cycling as a means of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
2018 will mark the fifth anniversary of the race. To develop so quickly in such a short space of time hints towards a promising – and hugely exciting – future for the Dubai Tour.

Writer's Block: Rise and shineJan. 8th, 2011 02:36 pm
It depends on the day. I take a couple of classes at my local university, and when they're in session, I'm up either by 5:50 a.m. (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or 6:15 a.m. (Tuesday and Thursday). Sundays are the same as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and on Saturdays, although I don't have to, I try to be up as early as possible to get a head start on my laundry ;)

that high school memeJul. 22nd, 2016 11:40 am
NOPE! He would have been in California and also he is 5 years older than so that would have been CREEPY!
2. Did you car pool to school?
Senior year I rode with my friend Katie a few mornings. She had this really OLD conversion van. But since I had lots of after school stuff, my Mom usually had to pick me up.
3. What kind of car did you have?
None, I didn't bother getting my license until after I graduated. First year of college I got my Dad's 1992 Ford Escort and I drove that until it died in the library parking lot in 2006.
4. What kind of car do you have now?
For a few more months, I have a 2006 Mini Cooper. We're looking at new cars now though...that's for another post...
5. It's Saturday night...where were you?
Probably at home catching up on the X-Files episode I missed because we had marching band on Friday night (actually, this was only an issue for the first half of high school, then they moved it to Sundays).

Check with the mathematics department for course registration deadlines, and math placement testing program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Bucks County Technical High School.
While a math degree may not seem like a path to wealth at first glance, many fields are based almost entirely on a math foundation. For instance, both physics as well as engineering make use of algebraic formulas to determine motion and forces on objects, and the stress on materials. In business, financial accounting and stock investing count on the mathematical principle of compound interest over time. Math classes may be refocused toward practical applications, such as numerical analytics of big data online or statistical interpretation of scientific research results. Further, financial engineers or 'quants' may be called upon to prepare math-based reports for financial management, in order to develop high-speed, stock investment algorithms.
Finally, there is a lot of mathematical calculation behind complex decisions such as whether a business should raise money by issuing stock directly to the public as in the case of Google, or seek long-term loan financing? Both decisions involve quantification of risk and substantial probability analysis. A discount rate is used to determine the present value of the expected returns, and if a business anticipates being highly profitable in the short-term, it may be wiser to take out a bank loan, rather than dilute ownership via exanding the number of shares outstanding. Beyond major requirements within the mathematics department, you may consider University of Mount Olive biochemistry major requirements as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

This open-access article describes the NSI evaluation, how the findings informed Hewlett's philanthropic approach, and provides a case example of a philanthropic-initiative exit. Key considerations for monitoring and evaluation practices particular to the context of a planned exit are discussed.
