Rehtaeh reaction
Not surprisingly, yesterday's Contrarian post on the furore over Rehtaeh Parsons' death has produced a lot of email, pro and con. Much of the angry reaction appeared on Twitter, where Contrarian tweets as @kempthead.
Before sampling the reader response, two important preliminaries:
- What Rehtaeh's family has been through this week is about as awful as human experience gets. They have been loyal in support of their daughter, and courageous in their rejection of vigilante action against those accused of abusing her. Whatever one's views on the issues I raised, compassion for this family ought to be universal.
- As I said yesterday, if you or anyone you know are having suicidal thoughts, please call the toll-free Kid's Help Line at 1-800-668-6868 or the toll-free Suicide Prevention Line at 1-888-429-8167. Also please check out this website, and this list of warning signs.
- Any effort to completely decouple sex and alcohol is bound to fail, but by the time they reach puberty, all boys and girls ought to clearly understand that a person of any age who is drunk to the point of throwing up cannot legally consent to sex, and anyone who has sex with someone in that state is committing a sexual assault.
Jeremy Akerman writes:
Just because we think we know something does not make it fact. Nor does something become fact because we want to believe it. Actually, we know very few actual facts about this whole affair. Of the original incident, we know what one person said that another person said had taken place. This whole matter has been subsumed by mob hysteria. The role of Anonymous is particularly sinister. They talk of sending "teams of investigators" to uncover the truth. More like a few self righteous people picking up gossip around cafes and school gates. These "investigators" got the Amanda Todd case horribly wrong when they "outed" a totally innocent man. It is surprising he was not killed. What I have been saying is this: Leave the torches and pitchforks in the shed for the time being. Let us wit until we get all the facts before we start lynching people.
A reader called Patrice (no last name) writes:
Did you read Anonymous' response? According to the boys' peers, they were bragging that they committed the rape, even while showing them the picture they took to prove it. Similarly to the way teens sometimes arrange, film and upload videos of school beatings to Youtube.
Did they feed false testimony to the RCMP? Did their parents? Maybe all the kids who heard them brag but didn't report it should be charged as well for not reporting it.
I would read Patrice's comments and those from Anonymous, in the context of Jeremy Akerman's remarks. Anonymous is not gathering evidence. It's gathering rumours, gossip, and multiple hearsay in a superheated environment from excited and possible distraught or fearful young informants. Such activity has no place in the justice process.
A reader who asked that her name be withheld out of concern for her employment wrote:
In the rush for a salacious story, the media have—with a couple of notable exceptions—told one side of this story, while ignoring the pivotal issue: mental health.
Parents sometimes want someone to blame because they cannot accept that this happened to their child. But it does. And sometimes there is no blame. Ask the Fountain family, which lost their much-loved son to depression. Or the family of Jay Smith, who was talented, popular and loved.
I take issue with the media coverage of this case for the reasons you have mentioned. They have—with a couple of exceptions—made her death a one-cause suicide, which is the very thing that psychiatrists advise them not to do. They have glorified her death and made her a martyr. Mental health is more complicated than that.
We don't know if she was medication, some of which produces suicidal tendencies. We don't know why she released from hospital. We don't know if she was raped because we have only heard from her mother, who is devastated and grief-stricken. The RCMP say it was a he-said, she-said case, but we have not heard from the he side.
The one thing I did find unsettling about this story was the family's contention that it took the RCMP ten months to interview the alleged rapists. If this is accurate—and hopefully we will find out—then I do not believe that was acceptable.
This is one point I hold in common with those demanding an inquiry. If the facts Rehtaeh's family hve reported are true—that it took 10 months to interview the boys, and they were interviewed in a group—then this requires an explanation. But there may be an explanation. No one is compelled to give evidence against themselves, and the boys may have had legal counsel who set the conditions for the interview. The point is: we just don't know, and assuming the worst is unhelpful.
Colin May writes:
We don't know all the facts, and never will. TV news has been treating this quite sensationally, including Evan Solomon. The lust for ratings knows no bounds, although CTV this afternoon had a very good interview with a Toronto criminal lawyer; tasteful and sensitive.
Chris McCormick quoted the moving public statement by Rehtaeh's father, Glen Canning. [Link is to the Toronto Sun, because Canning's website has been overwhelmed by traffic and knocked offline.]
"You have the opportunity here to do something good and let's face it, the court system in Nova Scotia was just going to rape her all over again with indifference to her suffering and the damage this did to her. My daughter wasn't bullied to death, she was disappointed to death. Disappointed in people she thought she could trust: her school, and the police. She was my daughter, but she was your daughter too. For the love of God do something.
"I've been contacted from media outlets from all over the world and as a past member of the media I understand why you all want to speak with me. You have all been very courteous, professional, and respectful. Please know, however, this is the only statement I am able to make. I'm [too] devastated. I feel like I'm dead inside."
From Ian Johnston via Facebook:
I've appalled by what I've been reading from here in Toronto. Come on folks. Get a grip. It's like hysteria….
[T]he most telling repeated line I continually see is that, "We need an investigation to get justice…." assuming of course a re-investigation will reveal an injustice. Seems a bit of a leap. As you said, folks seem to have leapt to the assumption of wrong-doing and are unprepared for if a new investigation gets the same result.
From another reader who asked me to withhold his name because, "I do not want to be attacked by a vigilante mob, or hacked by a bunch of outlaw geeks."
Thank you for publishing your thoughtful perspective on the Parsons case. I find it deeply troubling on a number of levels – not just the obvious and utterly justifiable grief her family and friends must be enduring, but perhaps even more due to the apparent public reaction or, perhaps more accurately, overreaction.
This is an extremely complex situation, and as seems to happen far too often, the news media is appearing to overlook some basic questions that seem rather obvious.
[This reader then speculates on certain unknowns about the case, which I will omit out of concern for those involved, and the fact that, just like the inflammatory comments of those demanding vengeance, they are pure speculation.]
…I am deeply troubled by the knee-jerk reaction by far too many people towards wanting to lock the alleged perpetrators up forever without due process. I am equally troubled by those who in one breath blame our public institutions for what happened, and in the next call for MORE institutional intervention to solve such problems. The disconnect there seems rather obvious to me…
I am going to try to tune much of this out over the next while. I fear nothing good will come out of this, and vigilanteism is never pretty
Longtime Contrarian reader Denis Falvey writes:
While I agree with you that there should be a high bar for conviction, I do think it would be a good idea to formally register society's disgust with these "boys'" alleged behaviour, by at least challenging them to prove their innocence—likelihood of conviction notwithstanding. The facts as know would then be before the public, and there would not be the suspicion of the matter being swept under the rug. As it is, the public has only bile and innuendo on which to gnaw.
Innocence until proven quilt should not mean that everyone charged is somehow automatically quilty; nor should it mean that if you are not charged, you are therefore innocent.
There is talk on an enquiry now, probably at great expense. But isn't that what could have been achieved by a judge and jury, at less expense?
Also, sometimes maybe, proving one's innocence of the accusation of wrong doing may be enough to trigger self-examination of behaviour against acceptable standards of society? Isn't that what we want in this type of situation?
Your underlying point is correct; we don't know what happened here.

You can push on a string
Our pal Colin May will argue with anyone — even an astrophysicist. He writes:

A Halifax resident writes her councilor – more feedback
Former health inspector Bill Bailey writes:
Kudos to Lindsay. Unfortunately, because politicians' skin is made from elephant hide, they will probably take it as a compliment.
And a Halifax reader notes that this week's Rona flyer features "eco friendly" Milorganite, at $7.79 for a 16.3 kg bag, "for better results NATURALLY."
As noted previously, Milorganite is the great-granddaddy of recycled, composted municipal sludge. So it's OK to spread Milwaukee's venerable composted sludge on Halifax vegetable gardens, but heaven forfend we use Halifax's modern stuff on municipal flower beds.
And one more. Colin May writes:
Reminds me of the arguments against incineration 20 years ago: "Heavy metals, blah, blah, blah….risk analysis sucks, blah, blah, blah…. I belive it is bad…"
- Science is Good when they discuss global warming.
- Science is Bad when it comes to sewage treatment and incineration.
- Science is Bad when discussing fluoride in our water.
Just face up to the fact that 10-15 percent of the populace will oppose almost any proposal. Politicians should just ignore them because to do otherwise will only encourage the perpetual worriers whenever something new comes along.
In my opinion breathing is dangerous for your health. It is the last thing a person does before dying and therefore we should all stop breathing. Statistics prove my assertion.
Checking the power of a parliamentary majority
Colin May responds to Parliamentary expert Peter Russell:
My quibble with Peter Russell can be summed up as follows: "Never confuse parliamentary democracy with democracy."
Apparently if a party has a majority of seats but a minority of votes:
- It's OK to withhold information that helps the members make a decision, if the members of the majority party vote to refuse to provide the information.
- And it's OK to withhold the Afghan detainee files or any information required by the minority of the members because the Russell doctrine of Parliamentary Supremacy overrides the democratic rights of the majority of the citizenry.
Mr. Russell's fears would have been more appropriate 40 years ago, when all this control from the PMO nonsense started and was rarely criticized by people such as he. His failure, and that of his colleagues, to be more vociferous in opposing the actions of former prime ministers sheds a harsher light on them than the present holder of the office.
Rule changes are in order and I would offer this: if members of the House of Commons representing 25% or more of the votes cast at the last election vote for a motion asking for access to documents or greater information on a budget item or a bill then the appropriate minister be required to table the document within 14 days.
Canadians fondly condemn the politics of the United States but too often fail to notice the greater openness in the legislative branch in that country and how the antics of a PMO, be it Liberal or Conservative, is almost never allowed in Washington.
He has a point, and I like the proposed rule change. I also like the idea of using ballots that allow voters to register a second choice, to be counted in cases where no candidate secures more than 50 percent of the votes in a riding.
Spirited Debate Place
Contrarian readers are sharply divided about plans to build a seven-storey old people's apartment where St. John's United Church now stands. (My own misgivings here.) First the Cons:
Liz Cunningham, owner of a Charles Street crêperie just down the street from the proposed apartment complex, writes:
Finally somebody who sees through the smokescreen, holier than though, social justice, inclusive nonsense.
St John's United Church is a developer first and foremost. They are seeking variances on lot coverage, height, density, etc, etc, etc. That is all we should be talking about.
My hat's off though to Louisa Horne and the rest of that group. They are very media saavy if nothing else. As a neighbor who is opposed to the size of the project–nothing else, just the size!–I must say they have done an amazing job of getting their view out in the media, particularly the CBC and the Chronicle Herald….
I can only hope that Regional Council will see this effor for what it is and vote on this project based only on it's merits and the many variances they are seeking.
Colin May (who not to be an adherent of any church):
The proponents for Spirit Place–sounds rather First Nations, doesn't it?–are just daring neighbours and councillors to turn their dream to dust. If I was waiting to vote they would be out of luck for several reasons.
Reason 1 – The possible residents are not of any concern to the decision. A council cannot support or oppose the development based on the possible sexual orientation of residents. Spirit Place is not a group home and therefore not subject to certain planning provisions. It is a residential development and should be treated as such. Implicit in this application is the assumption that persons of certain sexual orientations are having difficulty in finding a place to reside. To date no evidence has been presented to support such assumption.
Reason 2 – The proposed building is too large and is out of characted with the neighbourhood.
The United Church in Canada is facing dramatic declines in worshippers. The congregation at St John's are looking to engage in a commercial enterprise to subsidise their ability to remain a seperate congregation and are asking the residents of the neighbourhood to assist them. The sexual orientaion of the possible residents is being trumpeted as the main reason why the proposal should be approved.
In downtown Halifax the congregation of St Matthew's is also facing a dramatic decline in worshippers and is looking to develop the lands between the church and the residence of the Lt Governor. The simple solution for the two congregations is to merge at one building, I'd suggest St Matthew's, and sell the property at the other site.
If St John's is sincere in wishing to develop a certain building I would expect them to place that as their first priority and then sell the land to a developer willing to build such a project and one that is acceptable to and in keeping with the neighbourhood. Pursuing such a course of action would also help their fellow worshippers at St Matthew's.
Marlene Coffey:
Sprit Place is being proposed very close to my home. I am in favor of the purpose and philosophy of this enterprise. However, I am very worried about the impact of the size and scale of this project on my neighbourhood. The design looks just massive. Spirit Place will be awfully big and will function in quite a different way than the church it will replace. I belong to a group of neighbours who are concerned about the seven story proposal being considered on a rather small piece of R-2 (residential property). We are a diverse group of people and our argument with this development has only ever been about its size. At no time has anyone expressed opposition to the vision and mandate of this proposal.
What are some other facts about Sprit Place? This is what I have been told at public meetings:
- A shrinking congregation has made money for repairs and up keep for the former St. John's Church impossible.
- Projected building cost for Spirit Place are presently 13-14 million dollars and will be borrowed as mortgage.
- There is no information that can be given yet as to what any of the rents will be for the units ( "affordable" ones or regular ones).
- Appeals for grants have been made.
- The building has to be seven stories ((no compromise here at all whatsoever) in order to make the project "financially viable" i.e. seven stories (or more) is the essential size needed to generate enough income to pay borrowed money used to build the new church and housing units.
- If the housing unit is smaller, rents will have to be increased to pay for the new church and housing units
Because I want a smaller Spirit Place housing structure, I will be accused of preventing affordable housing for seniors. Must the neighbourhood bear the burden of living with the impact of this vast structure because St. John's United Church cannot afford to build what they want? I believe that we all share the neighbourhood and should be able to cooperate and come up with a smaller sized Spirit Place.
A supporter of the project, Marian Lindsay, sees the church's response to the decline in parisioners as creative:
First, rather than fighting the inevitable demise of traditional churches, and spending tons of money to keep a dying church standing, they've found a creative way to continue their ministry in the area — and potentially serve the community in more concrete ways, too.
Second, maybe the GLBT angle is a red-herring, but just because there's a law against discrimination doesn't mean discrimination disappears. I bet lots of people in the GLBT community would feel more welcome and relaxed in a place that pro-actively encouraged them to live there. So I can't agree with you that it's just a silly ploy to divert attention from the zoning variance issue.
Third, Halifax needs to encourage higher density in the central city, and seniors are our fastest growing population. For density, there's nowhere to go but up–and this isn't even very far up, for heaven's sake. We can't all cling to our big, single family houses, that take up–and waste–so much space. What better service could you provide people in this area? Their idea to provide space for community agencies is also brilliant. Vancouver rewards developers who combine commercial and housing structures with space for social organizations. They aren't doing that here, so it's great that a church has the foresight and vision to do it, instead.
Relax, Contrarian: From the street, it should look very similar to the average street frontage of most downtown city areas, with facades built to look like the old architecture of our town. Spirit Place is not much taller than the original church–or the medical building about a block away–[so] what's the problem? Is it just a taller building that has you feeling so uncomfortable? Having a lot of space to oneself, though considered a birthright in this country, cannot be sustained in this present world. Those who insist on not allowing change to come are being pretty selfish, if it's hindering some people from getting adequate housing at all.
Perhaps you would prefer to build a low-rise building; "Mean Spirited Place" might be a good name for that.
Ted Sutcliffe, who writes the Square Feet Blog, agrees:
There's something pathetic about a city that makes a church congregation jump through hoops as it tries to redevelop its property to rebuild a smaller sanctuary and finance it for the future by building 65 apartments for seniors.
The Chronicle Herald called the redevelopment of St. John's United Church property at Windsor and Willow streets controversial. The project is not at all controversial. A few residents are upset about it because they think it's too big. It's not. In fact, it is only about 12 feet higher than the existing church at its highest point and will be much lower than the church had been at the west end where the new sanctuary is located.
City staff, cautious to a fault, recommended a public hearing be held on the project. City council, paranoid to a fault, voted Tuesday night with a show of hands, 17 to 4, to go that route. (There has been no public hearing for the $100+ million convention center.)
As I said on my blog last Sept. 10, this project is a sympathetic solution to the congregation's problem, and meets the objectives of the municipal plan to encourage infill projects that put more people on the peninsula. Were this project given encouragement other congregations might see opportunities in their own church properties.
The city should be falling over itself to help projects like this. If a church group can't get enthusiastic support for a project that meets the city's own guidelines what message should anyone else take from the experience who might have wanted to put his imagination and industry to work?
Fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of making mistakes … fear has paralyzed this city and it's the poorer for it.
Finally, a reader who asked not to be identified, suggests the whole GLBT theme is an offhand comment that got out of hand:
I have talked to the church reps working on the proposal and the architects, and a friend in the congregation who's privy to what's going on. This project was never intended or has any effort been made to market, position or otherwise identify it as a "gay" project. In fact, the whole exercise has been downright weird. The CBC was the first to identify it as a gay project, and the Herald jumped on that in two pieces they've written about it. And the swell of opposition has caught the church off guard because they, and the architects, described a very long and personal canvas of the neighbourhood that indicated there was very little opposition to the project. All that said, it is Halifax.

The Moneybags School of Law – updated
Question: What's the name of the school at Dalhousie that trains lawyers? You may be surprised to learn, as I was, that it's no longer Dalhousie Law School. Following a $20-million gift from Ontario businessman Seymour Schulich, it officially became The Schulich School of Law on October 15. Haligonian Warren Reed runs the numbers:
In 2004-5, the total Dal budget seems to have been around $200 million—all but $13 million coming from government grants and tuition payments. One could doubtless find more recent data on the Internet. Schulich's gift, if added to the endowment and invested conservatively, will add about $1 million annually to the revenue stream. Half a percent.
As in all these kinds of transactions at public institutions, the contribution of taxpayers is forgotten, their investment sold at far below par. Nova Scotians have hundreds of millions invested in Dalhousie and in the principle of publicly funded education. Along comes Schulich, whose entire success is due to faithful observance of "buy low, sell high," and the guardians of the public trust hand over our best asset. Schulich knows a good deal.
In another long tradition, taxpayers will continue to foot most of the bill. I paid for that law school and I wanted it to belong to future Nova Scotians.
[Update] Contrarian reader Colin May's taxes also paid for the law school:
Not to mention "Medjuck Architecture School" on Spring Garden Road. I don't know when the sign went up, but I find it amusing. When did Ralph Medjuck ever build an architecturally notable project?
I propose we commence new labeling with, "Your taxes paid for this university," or, 'This hospital unit built with taxes paid by members of the plumbers and carpenters union." We could even extend it to the private sector with a sign on all the machinery in a Michelin plant: "This equipment funded by increasing the Nova Scotia public debt by $200,000,000." I think every bus should be painted on the front, "Your taxes paid for this bus—take a ride."
Paving the way for Tories – feedback (cont.)
Several readers argue there's nothing wrong with the Harper Tories steering infrastructure money to their own ridings, or pushing out deputy ministers who object, because (1) the money will be spent anyway, (2) the Liberals did it too, and (3) most senior civil servants are Liberal appointees. After the jump, a spirited response from longtime gadfly and former Dartmouth City Councillor Colin May, but first, contrarian reader Wayne Fiander weighs in:
Since you went to great trouble to note [ousted Deputy Transport Minister Louis] Ranger's expertise, you should have also informed your readers that Mr. Ranger "in the mid 90's, took a two year assignment with the Privy Council Office. He then returned to Transport Canada as Assistant Deputy Minister, Policy and was appointed Associate Deputy Minister of Transport in 2001" and was appointed DM at Transport Canada in 2002. His connection to the Chretien Liberals is quite deep and therefore sheds the full light on his obviously political comments.
Good point. I should have noted that. But the implication that a two-year stint in the PCO 15 years ago justifies Ranger's firing is bogus. The Harper crowd used public money for partisan purposes. That's corrupt. Full stop. Getting rid of qualified civil servants who raise objections to this corruption is of a piece with that. Read more »

Most of us enter marriage believing we've found a life partner to hold our hands through life's ups and downs and cherish us for the rest of our days.
In the honeymoon phase of your lives together, you are so close and connected that you can't imagine feeling any differently.
But fast forward a few years -- after a few of those ups and downs, a couple of kids under your belt, and the inevitable waning of romance. Things aren't quite as blissful.
With time and normal life events, marriages can fall into an autopilot routine. Partners don't put in as much effort as they did when they first met to court one other or be attentive and present with their spouse.
Couples grow distracted with the demands of daily life and become more concerned with their own interests than the needs of their partner or the health of the relationship.
The longer this disengagement goes on, the more the couple pulls apart, living more like roommates rather than intimate partners and friends.
Over time, you can feel a profound loneliness in marriage even when you aren't actually alone.
If your emotional needs are not met in your marriage, this loneliness can cause depression, resentment, and insecurity, as you feel you no longer know this person you are married to.
Do you recognize any of these signs of loneliness within your marriage?
- You feel your spouse doesn't listen to you.
- You feel you can't meet your spouse's expectations.
- You constantly try to keep the peace rather than address an issue that could cause conflict.
- You stop caring about issues that arise between you.
- You stop talking to your spouse about things that are going on in your life.
- You and your spouse don't spend quality, happy time together very often.
- You and your spouse are not as physically affectionate as you once were.
- Your sex life has dwindled to almost nothing -- or sex is rote and emotionless.
If you notice these signs in your marriage, right now is not too soon to take action to end your loneliness and improve your relationship.

Michael Jensen, Chair
Janalyn Mergist, Undergraduate Major Advisor
Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology Advisement Center
The degree programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are open enrollment.
Electrical and computer engineers study phenomena, devices, and systems for information processing, communication, and systems control. These studies, grounded primarily in physics and mathematics, have enabled engineers to develop the innovative new technologies for information acquisition, processing, storage, and communication that have made possible our contemporary Age of Information.
Examples of systems developed by electrical and computer engineers include radio, television, radar, satellite communication systems, cellular telephones, laptop computers, fiber-optic communications devices, global and local computer networks, robotic systems, control systems, fax machines, medical image processing, computer modems, lasers, pagers, computer vision, programmable calculators, VLSI chips, computer-aided design tools, and medical instruments.
Although it is the goal of engineering to produce useful objects, electrical and computer engineers typically play a limited role in construction, assembly, or mass production. Instead, they focus on design, analysis, and the development of the underlying theory and knowledge applied in the design process.
Many engineers are involved in designing and developing products, but other electrical and computer engineers may choose to work in product marketing, project management, system calibration and maintenance, product testing, or other areas related to electronic systems.
Computer programming skills and the ability to use advanced design and simulation software packages are vital in electrical as well as computer engineering. As part of their training, electrical engineers become familiar with a variety of programming languages and software environments. This experience is closely coupled to real-world applications.
Electrical and computer engineers are among the most actively recruited students graduating from a four-year program. Baccalaureate engineers typically start their careers as members of project teams with one or more of the following responsibilities: designing digital, analog, or opto-electronic circuits; creating or testing application-specific software; testing components or systems; or providing technical support for sales. Later on, many engineers find themselves pursuing managerial careers, starting their own companies, or even managing entrepreneurial funds. Top graduates are also well received by medical schools, law schools, and professional and management programs.
The BS curriculum for both the electrical engineering and computer engineering degrees is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET).
To receive a BYU bachelor's degree a student must complete, in addition to all requirements for a specific major, the following university requirements:
Students should see their college advisement center for help or information concerning the undergraduate programs.
For more information see the BYU 2012–2013 Graduate Catalog.
Students are strongly encouraged to seek advisement early in their studies to ensure effective course scheduling. Contact the college advisement center (264 CB) or the department (459 CB). Students should enroll in EC En 191 in their first year of study at BYU.
In both undergraduate degree programs offered in the department, students are required to pass prerequisite courses in the major with a grade of C– or better before taking follow-on courses.
Professional Registration. The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department provides the option for graduates to become registered professional engineers. General qualifications for becoming registered are explained in the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology section of this catalog. This status is vital to engineering practice in the public sector and to much consulting work. The basic electrical and computer engineering program outlined in this department prepares graduates to successfully complete the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination. Students who wish to become registered as professional engineers are advised to discuss this matter with an advisor from the department soon after admission to the professional program.


text: Big Brown wins the 2008 Preakness Stakes Oh my goodness, I am so excited for Big Brown. He's my favorite racehorse. I am rooting for him all the way. I first saw Big Brown win the 2008 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park, I believe. Then, he won the 2008 Kentucky Derby, or the Run for the Roses. The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes are apart of the highly prestigious Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing - only the best racehorses are nominated for all three races and the stakes are incredibly high. Although, the biggest race in the world is the Dubai World Cup, which was won (this year) by Curlin, who has gotten over $20,000,000 in his life earnings. I believe the approximate number is at least 27 or nearly 28 million. On the Triple Crown: The Triple Crown is for three-year-old racehorses. Colts (young male horses) mostly win the Triple Crown. There is a series of races for fillies (young female horses) called the Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing. Sorry, I had to remove the Wiki pages for the races because they didn't work, lol. Also: Please, and I am begging you guys, do not start any flame wars about Eight Belles death. We are all very sorry for this incident, but freak accidents like this happen and in no way is it the owner, trainer, or jockey's fault for her death. Instead of her going through pain, they didn't want her to suffer...okay? So thank you! Maybe Biggy will make it to winner's circle at the Belmont Stakes? I'll have to wait and see.

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, will take a calculated risk on Wednesday by giving the whole German parliament a vote on the latest euro zone crisis measures, before she returns to Brussels to sign off on the deal.
Members of the Bundestag had demanded the right to scrutinize the package, including measures to "leverage" the €440-billion ($614-billion) European financial stability facility – the euro zone's emergency rescue fund– before giving Ms. Merkel a green light to agree anything at the second euro zone summit in four days.
Now Ms. Merkel's own party has decided to put the package to the full parliamentary chamber – risking once again a rebellion by a hostile minority in its own ranks – and not simply leave it to be approved behind closed doors by the budget committee, where she has a safe majority.
The volte-face was agreed by the party leadership in Berlin on Monday, only three days after the government rejected a similar proposal by the opposition Social Democrats and Green party.
It suggests that Ms. Merkel is confident she can win her "own majority" in the parliament, and not rely on opposition votes to get a negotiating mandate in Brussels, which would be a severe blow to the credibility of her ruling centre-right coalition. But in the last such vote in September – on extending the powers of the EFSF – 15 government supporters rebelled, and they are likely to do so again.
The move could also strengthen the chancellor's hand in Brussels, where she can argue that her room for manoeuvre is severely constrained by the need to win backing in the Bundestag.
"On such important questions, it is good if the parliament gives the chancellor broad backing for her negotiations," said Volker Kauder, parliamentary leader of the CDU, when he announced the move.
Full details of the package have yet to be given to the German parliamentarians because negotiations are still continuing on precise details of the plans to "leverage" the euro zone rescue fund. Talks are also continuing between the euro zone governments and leading international banks on increasing the private creditors' contribution to a new debt relief package for Greece.
Ms. Merkel conceded the new powers to the Bundestag in September as part of the deal to win the first vote on the EFSF. As a result, the 17 eurozone countries were forced to hold two summits – on Sunday and now on Wednesday – in order to give the chancellor time to get the green light from Berlin.
Throughout the negotiations she has insisted that Germany's €211-billion financial guarantee for the EFSF would not be increased and nor would any leveraging of the fund include using the resources of the European Central Bank – a proposal pushed strongly by Nicolas Sarkozy, French president. On Sunday, Mr. Sarkozy appeared to drop that demand. Two models are now under discussion, one for the EFSF to insure bond buyers against losses, the other to create a new fund with EFSF core capital to attract outside investors to participate.

Come Smell The Roses
Welcome Sweet Pink Loving Peeps! Here is the way to Beverly's and all the fun and amazing blogs that love PINK as much as I do.....Be sure and leave Beverly a comment so she will know how much you enjoy this venue! Thank You Beverly! We just LOVE you!
Finally! The roses are blooming and the rose that holds the key to my heart is Eden. We have had a chilly and wet Spring and beginning to Summer and without the six hours of sun she loves, she has been taking her sweet time to burst forth, but here she is. Isn't she gorgeous?
Even though I use a Bayer product for my roses that is supposed to discourage all buggies, with all the wet we have them anyway. So, they are not all absolutely perfect, there is a little nibble hole here and there, but then, that is just Nature at work! Right?
Below are my hardy and pretty landscape roses.....never any bugs and they survive any weather, it seems. They just grow and bloom and make Mama happy!
I hope you enjoyed some of my roses!
I am planning my first ever GIVE A WAY! I would have had one long ago, but I had to figure out how make the little button for you all to take back to your blogs....so, When I get to 325 followers I will celebrate my first one....stay tuned!
Have a very Rosy Pink Saturday!
Love To You All!

Review of ASUS Transformer Book T100TA-H1-GR 10.1"
We recently got a new windows tablet and after a very thorough reserach, we decided to go with the ASUS Transformer Book T100TA-H1-GR 10.1". Now that we've used it... was our research useful? Did we get the best that fit our budget?
For the most part, it was a pretty good machine. But there are a few things that could have been better.
[otw_is sidebar=otw-sidebar-9]
- 32GB is not enough, 28GB are accessible, 20 is used for windows. You really have 8 GB for other items. To remedy this we got the 500GB hard drive but some programs must be installed on the C drive.
- windows 8.1 has not yet reached maturity: on-screen keyboard on top of notepad for example is just bad design
- it seems I need to use a proper charger which delivers enough current to charge this, otherwise, you wake up in the morning with 30% battery use.
If you're looking to get this product, here's the product on amazon.

WASHINGTON -- Ten years and $60 billion in American taxpayer funds later, Iraq is still so unstable and broken that even its leaders question whether U.S. efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation were worth the cost.
In his final report to Congress, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen's conclusion was all too clear: Since the invasion a decade ago this month, the United States has spent too much money in Iraq for too few results.
The reconstruction effort "grew to a size much larger than was ever anticipated," Bowen told the AP in a preview of his last audit of U.S. funds spent in Iraq, to be released yesterday. "Not enough was accomplished for the size of the funds expended."
In interviews with Bowen, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the U.S. funding "could have brought great change in Iraq" but fell short too often. "There was misspending of money," said al-Maliki, a Shia Muslim whose sect makes up about 60 percent of Iraq's population.
Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, the country's top Sunni Muslim official, told auditors that the rebuilding efforts "had unfavorable outcomes in general."
"You think if you throw money at a problem, you can fix it," Kurdish government official Qubad Talabani, son of Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, told auditors. "It was just not strategic thinking."
The abysmal Iraq results forecast what could happen in Afghanistan, where U.S. taxpayers have so far spent $90 billion in reconstruction projects during a 12-year military campaign that, for the most part, ends in 2014.
Sen. Bob Corker, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Wednesday called the report's findings "appalling" but also said its lessons will be helpful for future U.S. reconstruction projects -- especially the billions of dollars yet to be spent in Afghanistan. He called for a thorough review of State Department and U.S. foreign aid programs to make sure the money is spent wisely.

Andrea Cremer Conclusion Cremer has also written the Nightshade,Invisibility and The Inventors Secret series Ember Marrow was promised to serve the Templar knights in exchange for her mothers life at birth. On her sixteenth birthday, as she was anxiously waiting, two Templar knights come to take her to serve Conatus. As Ember is leaving her family follows her all the way to Conatus to try to stop her from going. As soon as she gets to the castle she is thrown into the trails. she has to choose either the door of Knowledge, Craft or War. After Ember chooses War she is led into the cellar and is attacked by an unworldly creature. She kills it and ends up getting Barrow as her mentor. Soon after she is on patrol and their company is ambushed by stringa and she is almost killed. they capture the prisoner and find out he is sent by a creature, Bosque Mar. After her recovery she is taken to the close by village for a festival. At the festival the village is attacked by Wraiths and the villagers believe that one of the knights , Scorcha, controls them and she is burned at the stake as a witch. the book ends with Ember and six knights fleeing the castle. Ember Morrow Ember is a high born noble from a large fief. She has always wanted to be a knight and being sent to Conatus is her only opportunity. After passing the trails she gets her twin blades which she named Silence and Sorrow. Her horse is named Caber and Caber saves her multiple times through out the book. Rift is person vs. Society because Ember is one of four female knights in Conatus and at the end of the book she has to go against the order of knights for the good of the entire world. Rift is First Person and the story is told mostly through Ember's point of view and the rest is through Eira's point of view.
Having it through both characters point of view helps the reader understand the book and how the events affect everyone in the book. I would suggest this book to anyone, it is not a sappy love story and its not all blood and guts. The book is easy to follow and its fast paced. the characters are easy to connect with and the book is never boring. If you like fantasy genre books then definitely read this book. Barrow Barrow is a seasoned knight and is one of the most powerful knights in Conatus. He is Embers mentor and flees the castle with her at the end of the book. His horse is named Toshach. Alistair Alistair is Embers oldest friend and has only been at Conatus for a year. He joins Eira and Mar as they try to destroy the Templar knight. Eira One of the four female knights and one of the two girls in the Circle (leaders). She joins Bosque Mar to control the knights and the creatures that the Templar knights kill. Because she has Mar's power she can freely control any creature that is the knights enemy. Cain Cain is Eira's twin sister and is the other girl in the Circle. She isn't as blood-thirsty as her sister. At the end of the book she joins the fleeing knights but stays at the castle to gather as much knowledge as she can. She writes mostly Fantasy books Lukaz stood up. "he evils we face are not of this world. Their true dwelling is elsewhere, a darker place still shrouded in mystery. We do all we can to learn of this spawning realm that plagues our world with it's diseases, but our efforts have been for naught." "We need to hunt the stringa and dispose of it" Lukaz told them "According to our sources, rumors have begun to fester throughout the villages of the forest. Once accusations begin to fly, they'll surely find some poor old woman, or more than one, to burn as a witch"
"the missions of the Guard are more often about saving innocent people from such fates as they are about destroying the real monsters," said Scorcha to Ember.
Ember's mind reeled. "none of the stories are ture? Of witches in league with the devil?" Pg 219 I like this passage because it shows how the knights protect the villagers as much as they can and its shows the authors writing style. I like how the author is exact in her wok and how she explains why the knights are fighting and not just that the knights are fighting the creatures.

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Petroleum producers looking for land in two of North America's hottest oil and gas plays pushed returns from rights sales in Saskatchewan and British Columbia this month to C$$744 million ($699 million).
The two western Canadian provinces are benefiting from keen interest in emerging unconventional oil and gas plays on their territory.
British Columbia, home to the red-hot Horn River shale gas play, where producers have announced what may be among Canada's biggest-ever natural gas finds, said on Thursday it received C$501 million in bids for exploration rights in its August sale.
The total included C$321.4 million for six parcels in the western portion of the Horn River play in the province's northeast.
So far this year, the province has reaped a record C$1.8 billion from the sale of drilling rights.
In Saskatchewan, which lies over the northern reach of the multibillion-barrel Bakken oil field, producers bid a total C$242.7 million for rights to drill in the province.
Parcels over the Bakken field, which also runs through parts of the U.S. border states of North Dakota and Montana, sold for C$213.3 million, the province said on Thursday.
So far this year, Saskatchewan has raised C$848.1 million from oil and gas land sales.
($1=$1.06 Canadian)

photo taken by me, on our private beach, Palm Beach, Florida...1-28-2014
While the rest of our country...even in the deep South was in a 'frozen frenzy' yesterday, here in S. Florida we had the most beautiful sunny and pleasant day of 79 degrees F. Not so, today (dreary, raining, and damp-cold-windy-chilly-nasty day)

Best Ever Chocolate Chip-Banana Muffins
I haven't been able to take decent 'natural light' food photos for the last 2 weeks for a new post, since we've been getting so much rain with heavy winds, and clouds every day...except for last Sunday for about half a day; sun was in-and-out, and we were able to enjoy the beach and the pool. I feel so bad for all of you who live up north and even on the east coast as well; below zero temperatures, and all the snow storms...brrrr!
In order for me to buy more cookbooks, which I still find a few at a different Goodwill store for their original $2.49, or I've been ordering them online from Amazon for 'dirt cheap'...of course, cookbooks do add up and I'm not about to have a huge selection which I used to have; so, I have donated a lot of books that I find...useless! While looking through some of my books for torn out pages from magazines tucked into them, I found this photo copy of a recipe of this amazing and perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins...but wait!...This recipe is from a Bed and Breakfast Inn, called the
The Signal House
in Ripley, Ohio.
If you plan to come to Florida...which would be a perfect time now to get away from the freezing cold weather for a while...here's a local Bed and Breakfast, which I personally drive by just about every day. (it is only about 2 miles from the beach)
Sabal Palm House Bed and Breakfast
Best Ever Chocolate Chip-Banana Muffins
recipe from: The Signal House
3 large ripe bananas
1/4 cups sugar
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 ounces chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mash bananas. Add sugar and eggs. Add the melted butter, then add the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into 12 or 6 cup muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 12 or 6 large muffins...I made 6, and I must tell you they were so moist, not too sweet, and so delicious with morning coffee, or afternoon tea!
Polar Vortex, 2014
Temperatures in all 50 US states dipped below freezing on Tuesday in a rare nationwide chill that will keep a grip on much of the country for at least another day, with cutting winds and blizzards posing the most danger.
Florida, a state that normally basks in its reputation as a warm winter escape, experienced unusually low temperatures. In the Midwest, northeast and eastern Canada, it was dangerous to venture outside. At some point on Tuesday, at least one location in each of the 50 US states recorded temperatures below freezing, with the highest point on Hawaii, Mauna Kea, recording a temperature of 21F (-6C).
The so-called polar vortex that funnelled an Arctic low pressure system into the upper US this week swung south and east on Tuesday. Polar conditions settled over two-thirds of the US.
It was colder in the southern state of Georgia than Alaska as Atlanta plunged to 6F (-14C) – the lowest temperature since 1966 – while Anchorage, Alaska, recorded 27F (-3C) . Wind chills were recorded around -60F in parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Montana and New Hampshire.

Although we didn't get freezing weather here, in S. Florida...I took these photos this morning, and sure enough it looked like it was about to snow!
Wednesday, 8:20 AM...from my balcony. The wind-chill factor always make it at least 15-20 degrees cooler by the ocean, even in the summer time!
Usually, just about every day, the sun comes out...even if for a few minutes...for the last 3 days this is how our 'sunny Florida' skies looked...more like 'snow clouds'...I have not witnessed this kind of chilly wind, very damp, and cold...it just cuts through your bones! Not making excuses, because I grew up in Ohio, and I have lived through plenty of snow storms and freezing weather throughout my youth!

text: Hi all, I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a pre-owned vehicle for some time now. My monthly use itself would not cross 700 to 1000 kms (low by most standards). Also, highways are where I would be doing most of the driving. With this, I went about gathering information on Safe, Sturdy and Reliable vehicles that can comfortably cruise at 120 Kmph/more, handle well and still return decent mileage. I realize that a Fiat Linea MJD or TJet would be a good choice. So presently I am on the look out for a MJD or TJet (2011 or later) that has been used for less than 70000 kilometers. Still, I have some questions with regard to the following: 1) Any views on the MJD or TJet connundrum? I know that TJet is pure driving bliss. But with MJD, after some time with the car, I could explore the possibility of Wolfing to make it more fun-to-drive. 2) Cost of ownership, Maintenance and Spare availability: Is it costly to maintain either of the above models? What about the availability of spares for these vehicles? How is this availability likely to evolve with the impending release of Aegea. Is it more costly to maintain the Tjet (spares, repairs etc) 3) Pre-used or Pre-misused cars? There is always the chance that the previous owner is trying to get rid of a misused vehicle. How to guard against such bad deals? 4) Flood affected vehicle: Is it really possible to figure out if a vehicle was affected by floods. I spoke to some mechanics and they say that it is not always possible to spot a flood affected car! Since I work in AP and travel frequently to TN, I am looking for suitable vehicles from places like Tamil Nadu (other than Chennai), Kerala, Karnataka and AP. The issue with Chennai vehicles is that they could have been affected by the floods. In Bangalore or Coimbatore, the vehicle costs seem to slightly higher. There are some possible vehicles available near Coimbatore and Palakkad but I am unable to get information about reliable and independent fiat mechanics (lineas and puntos) in Coimbatore or Palakkad (or nearby) who can travel with me to the car owner's place, take a test ride, test the vehicle's power delivery etc and inspect the car thoroughly. If any of you could please provide me with such information It would be of great help to me. Any other suggestions or advice are welcome in this regard.

First of all rubbing your eyes frequently, going to bed with makeup on is a cause of dark circles or bags under your eyes.Like other people said you should probably see a doctor about this if it does not go away with some home remedies,such as caffeine,liquid concealer that matches your skin tone.Also dehydration might be it also,so you can also drink a lot of water.In a more serious case this may cause thyroid and kidney problems that can cause under-eye fluid retention. But that is a serious case so i just think you should stick with the concealer or caffeine.

Republic of Ireland 0 - 3 Australia

SLOPPY defence and a failure to find a finishing touch will give Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni plenty to think about as his Irish side fell to a 3-0 loss at the hands of Australia at Thomond Park.
Just a month out from their World Cup qualifier against Cyprus, it would not be the showing the Italian manager would have been looking for in the lead-up.
Two first half goals from Everton midfielder Tim Cahill and a late injury time effort from David Carney saw the Socceroos claim a match which failed to really find its feet throughout.
Limerick handed a warm welcome to the two sides in soccer's first excursion out of the capital in two decades, although organisers would have been disappointed in the sale of the pricey €55 main stand tickets which was well down on capacity, the crowd totaling 19,428. Manchester United's Darron Gibson was given the nod ahead of Keith Andrews in the Ireland midfield, a move that Giovanni Trapattoni had hinted at a day earlier. Meanwhile Australia kept the side Pim Verbeek had named on Tuesday with Scott McDonald the sole striker up front, supported by Mark Bresciano, Tim Cahill and Harry Kewell in the midfield. Goal keeper Mark Schwarzer wore the captain's armband with regular leader uncontracted Lucas Neill starting the game on the bench.
Defender Luke Wilkshire gave the visitors their first opportunity with the match just seven minutes old, grazing a ball past the right post from straight in front with the side holding the slight edge on momentum.
Kewell then forced a save from Shay Given, diving low to his left to stop the shot which came when Bresciano tapped the ball inside from a free kick and Kewell drove it towards goal. Ireland looked ominous though on 13 minutes as Robbie Keane's header from an Aiden McGeady cross went just over the bar.
Rhys Williams was fouled by Kevin Kilbane on the edge of the box to hand the Socceroos another opportunity, but Wilkshire's free went high.
Damien Duff attempted to drill one from close range at the opposite end but was met by a wall of Australian defence, before Patrick Kisnorbo nearly snuck one into the right corner of the goal for the visitors.
But it was a solo effort by captain Keane which had the Limerick crowd almost on its feet, making a threatening incursion into the box, and getting a shot away, but Schwarzer was up to the task and came out to meet the rising ball and punch it away in front of the left post. The game tempo slowed up somewhat around the half-hour mark. McGeady tried to find a way through for Ireland, but his curling right footer flew just wide. The home side was beginning to look the aggressor and every time they turned to bring the ball downfield, the patriotic crowd lifted as one, trying to inspire something.
But it was the Socceroos who snatched first blood in the 38th minute as Cahill tapped in an incredibly soft goal, Given obviously believing the shot from straight in front was rolling wide as he turned to watch it roll home. McDonald had set up the shot for Cahill who had initially played it onto him further down the field. He drifted down into the box, his timing impeccable as he flicked it left to the Everton star.
The pain was doubled in the 44th minute as Cahill claimed Australia's second, after Williams took a shot which rebounded off Given, Cahill on hand from close range to punish the rebound and give the Australian's a 2-0 half-time lead.
As expected both sides made a number of substitutions at the break, both Duff and Doyle coming off for Ireland, while Cahill, McDonald and Kisnorbo replaced for the Socceroos. The visitors continued to press as some good lead-up work by substitute midfielder Brett Holman almost had Bresciano in, before he took a shot himself which Given saved comfortably.
But it was Ireland that should have pegged one back 15 minutes into the half when Glenn Whelan back-passed to Stephen Hunt in prime position, Hunt lining up well and with time, but spewing it wide to the right.
It was beginning to dwindle into a dour affair, the crowd sending out the 'Ireland' chant in an attempt to lift their losing side and Keane almost answered their call as he turned and shot near the right post, but it was deflected away by the defence.
Sean St Ledger put one over the bar from a Hunt corner in a half chance, but Ireland's best chance of the half came with three minutes of regular time left as Andrews hit the left post which was followed up with a close range header which Schwarzer grabbed over his head. But the home side could not give its loyal audience a happy ending to an otherwise disappointing evening and Australia finished in style as a long-range David Carney effort found the top corner of the net in injury time.
Ireland: Given (Westwood, 68mins); O'Shea; Dunne, St. Ledger, Kilbane (Nolan, 63mins); McGeady (Long, 82mins), Gibson (Andrews, 63mins), Whelan, Duff (Hunt, 45mins); Keane, Doyle (Folan, 45mins);
Australia: Schwarzer; Wilkinson, North (Spiranovic, 72mins), Kisnorbo (Madaschi, 45mins), Carney; Williams, Jedinak (Holland, 89mins); Bresciano (Carle, 78mins), Cahill (Holman, 45mins), Kewell; McDonald (Rukavytsya, 45mins)

Hillside Charge!!!
Published by Lavarian in the blog Lavarian's blog. Views: 138
Hey everyone.
Yeah, I've been gone. Been so busy with the whole music thang, haven't had much time to pop in. So you remember how I said my band's name was Wolves in Wool?
It was a lie! Turns out, it's actually Hillside Charge! (Officially)
Exciting news:
We've just now started to make ourselves known to the local public and have booked four shows for this month. We've also created a facebook page for the band so, if you're so inclined, please do like us on facebook!
I understand if you do not wish to like us until you've gone through the quality control process. (Really I do!)
Therefore, if you'd like to listen to a few rough live tracks we recorded two weeks ago, be my guest. Which location would you like? I've got youtube, facebook, or reverbnation.
Actually, that's technically only two since facebook pulls from reverbnation,
Youtube (2 bonus tracks!!!):
Wagon Train
Please Yourself
Bigfoot (for Pallas)
Rain Season
Castle Walls
Well there you have it!
More to come (whether you like it or not)!
Please "like" us if you actually like it. We need the self-esteem.
P.S. (We entered an online battle of the bands contest with a local radiostation to win a chance to open for our annual summer music festival. If you'd like to support us in this endeavor, please follow the link asking for votes from our facebook page! It's gonna take a lot of votes to take down some of the popular local monsters here.)
Thanks guys!

For some reason I thought it was really amusing. The lip gloss line was hilarious and the animation and voice overs were sub par but contrasted well with the odd ominous personality that is Rich Young. I didn't drop dead laughing but I really liked it and along with Tankmen this is one I'm truly looking forward to watching as it develops.
For some reason, your reviews are the best. You are a great reviewer and I am truly looking forward to watching YOU develop. THANKS!
This has potential
The animation is crappy but it doesn't really matter because its funny.
Gives it its own feeling.
Waiting for the next one.
The next one should be out sooooooooOOOOOONNNN!!!
And since the animation is so crappy it doesn't take me long to make one!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Your review is badass!
uhh... wow
That lady's voice... I hope it wasn't you trying to sound like a woman. :P Well anyway, I liked Rich Young's attitude... it made me laugh a bit. I couldn't really make out what that blonde guy was saying though. Pretty good flash.
Maybe she smokes or something.
Also, the blonde guy says things like "aw hellz yeah"
aww lol
this had better than ok animation and was funny too
but you had to hold back the second one? :(
Your frowny face has made me have a change of heart. I'm uplaoding the second one RIGHT NOW!!!! Thank you Chicken 13312 for showing me the error of my ways! Your reviews are the best!
I thought it was entertaining to watch. I got a chuckle from it too, don't remember what part specifically. I think when Rich Young mentioned his dark past, the look on his face was amusing. I'd watch this it were a full series :D
The second one is done. I'm just building super suspense by holding out. I hope you get to see that one, too. And review it. Cause your reviews are really awesome.

The illustration depicts the flow of actions associated with synchronous and asynchronous before and after event handlers in SharePoint Foundation 2010. Handlers for synchronous events (all Before events are synchronous) are called in their sequential order in the main thread–-that is, in the thread in which the user action occurred. Their sequence order is determined by the value of the sequence number property (SPEventReceiverDefinition.SequenceNumber) for each event. This applies to both Before and After synchronous events.
On the other hand, event handlers for asynchronous events (After events can be asynchronous or synchronous using the SPEventReceiverDefinition.Synchronization property) behave differently. First, they execute in a different thread from the one in which the triggering action occurred. Furthermore, successive asynchronous event handlers execute in successive threads.
Second, although asynchronous handlers are initiated in sequential order (again, based on the SequenceNumber property), there is no guarantee that they will execute or be completed in that same order. Note, too, that handlers for an asynchronous After event can start at any time after its triggering action occurs.
For more information about events, see the following resources in the SharePoint 2010 SDK:
- Events in SharePoint Foundation 2010
- Introduction to Events in SharePoint Foundation
- Creating an Event Handler
- Table of SharePoint Events, Event Receivers, and Event Hosts

When lonely single mum Janey stumbles into an art workshop, she can't believe her eyes when her left hand mysteriously scribbles a picture of two little girls and a strange message from someone called 'Hattie': Janey's childhood best friend. But they lost touch after Hattie's family suddenly moved away in mysterious circumstances.
Janey's instincts tell her that she must finally find out what happened to Hattie, but life is already complicated enough: she's struggling with motherhood, a custody battle over her toddler son Pip is looming, and she finds herself falling for intense art tutor Steve. And when writing appears on the walls of her flat and Pip starts playing with an invisible friend, Janey fears she's losing her mind. Is it really a good idea to go digging up the past? As dark secrets come to light, she can't be sure what's real any more – or who to trust…
Moving and suspenseful, The Last Day I Saw Her is a richly emotive story of friendship lost and found, and how facing up to the past can help you find a better future.
I was sent an advance copy of this novel in return for an honest review.
I first came across Edinburgh-based author Lucy Lawrie when I reviewed her debut novel Tiny Acts of Love, which she'd written when she was on maternity leave.
I've been away from reviewing for a while and it seemed only right that I returned to review Lawrie's new book, The Last Day I Saw Her, as I'm now also on maternity leave myself -albeit mine is a lot less productive than Lawrie's…how she found the time I have no idea. I have nothing but admiration for her.
As adults, we enjoy reminiscing about our school days and wonder what our friends from then are doing now. Janey does just that in The Last Day I Saw Her, reminiscing about her school friend Hattie, who mysteriously disappeared when she was 12. She accidentally takes an art class run by the dishy Steve and soon the mystery begins to unravel in ways she never expected.
This book is very different to the light and funny Tiny Acts of Love and I don't know if it's because I'm a new mum who read this book as I rocked my baby to sleep various times a day, but it really got to me emotionally. It's a thriller and keeps you guessing throughout, with some surprises along the way and although it took a few chapters to get going I found that when I was hooked, that was it. I'd sit by my baby's crib long after she'd fallen asleep just to find out what happened next.
It is an enjoyable (yet unnerving at times) read which shows Lawrie has talent to write different genres. Yes, there's still a bit of romance in there thanks to Steve but it certainly isn't the main thread. What we have is a very complicated history from not just Janey but also Hattie, Hattie's family, their childhood piano teacher Miss Fortune (great name!) and Steve. Even with all of these different threads and histories weaving throughout the story, alongside the present day story of Janey's battle for custody with her son Pip's dad and his new partner, Lawrie leaves no loose ends.
I really enjoyed reading The Last Day I Saw Her and look forward to reading more of Lawrie's work in future. Now to write my novel while I've got a few weeks of maternity leave left…
If you're keen to purchase The Last Day I Saw Her, it is out now – click the book cover at the top for more details.

RANTOUL — Make a phone call to Rantoul Township High School, and chances are, that call will cut out or end up disconnected.
The RTHS board this week approved 7-0 to fix the current phone system and make efforts to ensure dropped calls or disconnected calls don't happen in the future.
"It's just something that we need to do," RTHS Superintendent Scott Amerio said. "As a school, we do a whole lot of communication. We require teachers to make phone calls to parents, and we have people calling in all the time. When you can't communicate with them, you can't do business."
The board approved a quote of $37,076 from Genesis Adaptive, Bloomington, to install a new phone system in the school. The quote was one of four the district received, and Amerio said since the issues is a technology and telecommunications topic, it did not need to go out for a bid.
Board member Marla Deem asked when the district is planning on accomplishing this, and Amerio said work would begin "as soon as possible" on installing the new system.
