ALSO don't forget to pre-order books as it really helps the author!
You did nothing. That doesn't mean you're innocent.On a night out, four friends witness a stranger in trouble. They decide to do nothing to help.
Later, a body washes up on the banks of the Thames – and the group realises that ignoring the woman has left blood on their hands.
But why did each of them refuse to step in? Why did none of them want to be noticed that night? Who is really responsible?
And is it possible that the victim was not really a stranger at all?

Josie and Delia are best friends and co-hosts on their own public access TV show, Midnite Matinee. They dress as vampires Rayne and Delilah, perform daft skits involving skeleton raves and dog weddings, and show the weekly so-bad-it's-good low-budget horror movie. But the end of senior year is coming, and Josie is torn between pursuing her television dreams in a new city or staying making TV with her BFF. What's more, she's just met a boy, Lawson, who is totally not her type, but is just a little bit intriguing . . . Meanwhile, Delia is searching for her dad, who walked out on her and her mom ten years ago. When the private investigator she hired unearths his contact details, she agonises over digging up the past.
A road trip to ShiverCon, a convention for horror filmmakers, may just have the answers the two need - but will Josie and Delia be prepared for life taking some seriously unexpected plot-twists?
With Pez, the days felt endless - cycling, climbing trees, sucking sour sweets till our tongues burned. I'd give anything to be that girl again.
For four years Vetty Lake has been keeping her heart in hiding. Since her mum died and her family moved out of London it's felt so much safer not to tell people how she really feels. She's never even told anyone she's attracted to girls as well as boys.
But now Vetty's seventeen and coming back to London she's determined to start living out loud. She's convinced that reconnecting with her childhood best friend Pez is the key. She was always fearless around him.
But when she sees Pez again, he's different. Guarded. It's like their special connection never existed. And suddenly Vetty's sure he's been hiding too.
This isn't a story about anything new. It's about the oldest thing in the world. It's about love.
Sixteen-year-old Izzy, a bright aspiring doctor, isn't happy about her recent move from the Lower East Side across the river to Brooklyn. She feels distanced from her family, especially her increasingly incomprehensible twin brother, as well as her new neighbourhood.
And then she meets Tristan.
Tristan is a chess prodigy who lives with his aunt and looks up to his cousin, Marcus, who has watched out for him over the years. When he and Izzy meet one fateful night, together they tumble into a story as old and unstoppable as love itself.
A new King Arthur has risen and she's got a universe to save
Coming to terms with your identity is always difficult. But for Ari, the 42nd reincarnation of King Arthur, it just got a whole lot more complicated. Gender-bending royalty, caustic wit and a galaxy-wide fight for peace and equality all collide in this epic adventure.
With an awkward adolescent Merlin and a rusty spaceship, this is the Arthurian legend as you have never before seen it.
Scholastic Book Feast
Hello everyone!
Today I want to talk about the Scholastic blogger event I attended last Saturday.
I love going to book events and it's so interesting to find out about their upcoming releases, cover designs and getting to chat to the publishers, editors and authors!
To start of the event we got to hear about their new books!
Oh My Gods by Alexandra Sheppard
The Day I Was Erased by Lisa Thompson
Lightning Chase Me Home by Amber Lee Dodd
The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan
Call me Alastair by Cory Leonardo
Shadowscent by P.M. Freestone
Song of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury
The New Boy by Paula Rawsthrone
Becoming Jo by Sophie McKenzie

Scar by Alice Broadway
Under A Dancing Star by Laura Wood
Alex in Wonderland by Simon James Green
Take A Chance on Me by Beth Garrod
Dead Popular by Sue Wallman
First up we had editor Eishar talking to debut author Alexandra Sheppard. Her novel, Oh My Gods just came out recently and it is fantastic! (obvs ignore my bad pictures, I got there a little late aha!)
Next we had a romance panel with authors, Simon James Green, Paula Rawsthrone and Laura Wood chaired by Fiz! This was a fun panel and hearing who was their childhood crushes was wonderful. Especially when Laura said that Jerry from Tom and Jerry was hers!
We then had a short break, with amazing food and then we got to hear from P.M. Freestone. This was an interesting talk about her book Shadowscent and she also did a little game with some people to guess the scents! It was really fun and her book sounds amazing.
One of my favourite talks has to be the cover designs. We got to hear from Liam who designed the cover for Shadowscent and the process he goes through to get the final design! I always love these talks and seeing how they get the end result is always fascinating!
The next panel was about Feminism. It was chaired by Eisha with authors, Alexandra Sheppard, Beth Garrod and Melinda Salisbury. I always love these panels with these amazing authors and women and just hearing their thoughts on everything.
And, for the final panel (which I forgot to take a pic off) was Writing In A Genre. Chaired by Linas with authors Sue Wallman and Alice Broadway! Two fantastic authors who write completely different genres. Interesting to see their thoughts on the genres and how they write them!
At the start of the event we where given goody bags which had 4 books in! And not only that after the event and quiz they said we could grab a couple more books that where on the side.
I came home with 9 books.
In the goody bag we got;
Night Flights by Phillip Reeve & Ian McQue
The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Ali
Becoming Jo by Sophie Mckenzie
The Surface Breaks by Louise O'Neill
And a sampler of Under a Dancing Star by Laura Wood.

Nobody's Fool: David Icke
Nobody's Fool
He's been around for years, and for years he's been trying to piece together what is happening in politics. In this video, he sums up what he has learned.
If you can managed a half hour of your time, please take a listen to Mr. Icke.
And IF you think he is a nut, and he's just a …to use Hillary's favorite term" a conspiracy theorist" then think of this:
Just a few weeks ago, Obama said that men should be allowed to use women's bathrooms.
Men being able to use women's restrooms has NEVER been a big concern in any country, at ANY time in history, and yet, even this week, at the 'three amigo' conference, the LGTB rights were their FIRST concern. The rights of gays is more important than saving people from being killed by radical Muslims.
Insane. Absolutely…insane.
To me, this means, that somebody who has great control over the world, is either 'gay' or thinks promoting gay behavior will fit the agenda of the children being raised by the state, taking parents out of the equation. More importantly, neutering men. MEN…and smart men, strong men, are a threat to this NWO.
Icke talks about the Global cartel. Is there such a thing?
All you have to do is listen…And after all the years that I've been reading and trying to put things together myself, I think we are seeing the globalists, who have met in secrecy…they are finally showing their dirty heads.
And the very fact that they are viciously attacking Donald Trump, proves that he is NOT one of them.
David is right. It's up to the people. Britain struck the first blow at the spider's web.
Now..it's OUR turn.
(This was recorded April 21, 2015.)
LBJ Anointed by FDR
Nobody Reads
Did you know that FDR loved LBJ? I didn't, until I read this:
"Another young man on whom FDR's favor fell was Lyndon B. Johnson from Texas, a former schoolteacher who came to Congress full of enthusiasm, cunning, and sharp practice in 1937. FDR loved him and seems to have regarded him as his natural successor at some future date. In 1944 he used his executive authority, unlawfully and unconstitutionally, to save Johnson from going to jail for criminal tax fraud."—(p. 761, A History of the American People-Paul Johnson)
Just another example of how long Presidents have acted like Kings, and also to remember that the Clintons LOVED FDR, the closest President we've ever had who acted like a dictator (excluding King Obama) and expanded the government to the egregious monster it is today.
Which brings to mind another famous meeting:
What are the odds?
Nobody's Email: Was Orlando a False Flag?
Nobody Gets Email
I thought this was interesting.
Is it possible that Orlando was a false flag to get our guns taken away, and help get Hillary elected?
Tell me, have you read much history? Then you might want to at least think about this:
(Thanks to madmemere)
This story could be the smoking gun for false-flag operations
Santa Monica; Two police officers who wish to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation say that James Wesley Howell, an Indiana man who was found with a car full of explosives and weapons on Sunday morning, told police he was part of a team that planned shooting attacks on gay communities in Florida and California.
Howell told police he was turning himself in because he wanted protection. His story was that he had been assured by his recruiters that he would not be harmed in the shooting but, when he heard on the news that Omar Mateen, the lead gunman in the Orlando group, had been killed by sniper fire, he realized he was being set up as a patsy and would be killed.
Soon after that, the FBI took over the investigation, and information to the public was filtered to remove any facts that might show the Orlando shooting as a planned event involving others. GetOffTheBS 2016 Jun 15 (Story) (Cached)
It is important to remember that the police officers who are the source of this story choose to remain anonymous, so it cannot be independently verified at this time, but circumstantial evidence supports it. For example:
(1) After the FBI took charge of the investigation, Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks changed her original report that Howell was part of a group of five people who intended to do harm at the gay-pride event in West Hollywood. Her altered report made no mention of anyone other than Howell.
(2) The web site that reported this story is still carrying the article without triggering legal action against it. That is significant because, if the story is false, immediate legal action would be expected. If it is true, Howell will be killed or 'disappeared' to prevent him from talking, but the last thing the perpetrators would want is a public trial where witnesses can be called to testify.
This news story could be one of the most important reports ever published in the annals of journalism.
That's quite a statement but, when you consider the nature of its content, it is no exaggeration to say that it has the potential to fundamentally change the relationship between the United States government and the American people, and that could lead to a profound change, not only in America, but the entire world.
The story is still unfolding, and it is likely that officialdom either will pull it off the Internet or do everything possible to discredit it but, unlike most false-flag scenarios, there are many people on the outside of the plot who can verify the accuracy of this one. In fact, there may even be an entire police department to do that. If so, the sheer number of witnesses could outweigh the threats against job security or physical safety. We shall see.

The Coming Software Patent Crisis: Can Linux Survive?
For evidence that real or perceived threats are shutting down or delaying open source development efforts, see:
Please send additional examples to firstname.lastname@example.com.]
[ The author has also added these reference links for further reading. --Webmaster]
It was never the object of patent laws to grant a monopoly for every trifling device, every shadow of a shade of an idea, which would naturally and spontaneously occur to any skilled mechanic or operator in the ordinary progress of manufactures. Such an indiscriminate creation of exclusive privileges tends rather to obstruct than to stimulate invention. It creates a class of speculative schemers who make it their business to watch the advancing wave of improvement, and gather its foam in the form of patented monopolies, which enable them to lay a heavy tax on the industry of the country, without contributing anything to the real advancement of the arts. It embarrasses the honest pursuit of business with fears and apprehensions of unknown liability lawsuits and vexatious accounting for profits made in good faith.
--U.S. Supreme Court, Atlantic Works vs. Brady, 1882
You just released your source code to the 'Net, and you've licensed it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. But you're in for a nasty surprise. A month later, you receive a threatening letter from the Software Industry Association of America (SIAA). It seems you've violated no fewer than 197 patents held by the SIAA's constituent members, which include the software industry's heaviest hitters. Either you retract the code, shut down your site, and cease development, or they'll come after you. Your call.
As you read the list of "infringements", you can't help laughing, scared as you are. The so-called infringements include procedures which programmers have used for years--maybe decades. Examples? Your program includes a "Save As" command that enables users to save a file with a different name. It accesses information from a central server. You used different colors to differentiate items in a list. You can't believe what you're reading. These are patentable? If your program violates these patents, just about any program that anyone could write would also infringe on them.
And then suddenly it hits you. That's just the point. You can't write any software without infringing on somebody's patent--even "Hello World" will infringe. Hey, it represents output by means of a bit-mapped display, doesn't it? (Yes, there's a patent on this.) And if the patent holders choose to come after you, you're toast. You can't possibly afford to defend yourself--the average cost of a patent infringement lawsuit is $500,000.
If enough open-source authors receive a letter like this one, it's bye-bye Linux. Fast.
The SIAA doesn't exist (yet). But if you're thinking this scenario isn't realistic, just consider the following:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), headed by a former mega-lobbyist for major copyright holders, is handing out software patents at an alarming rate. Up to 1998, PTO issued only 12,000 software patents--but the total accelerated to 40,000 in the last year. At the current, breakneck pace, the agency will have granted a total of 100,000 software patents by the year 2000.
Ostensibly, you can't get a patent on something that's been done before; that's called prior art. But the PTO can't figure out how to determine prior art in computer programs, so they're essentially handing out software patents willy-nilly. Companies are getting patents on software techniques that have been in common use for years.
Want to get filthy rich? Get a patent that's so broad, it could apply to almost anything--the PTO will give it to you, no questions asked--and then start claiming the whole world owes you licensing fees. In recent years, the PTO has granted patents that are claimed to cover any form of downloaded digital music, the use of cascading style sheets for Web publishing, the use of the Internet for electronic commerce, and the use of embedded executable content within HTML.
Microsoft's famous "Halloween" document points out that software patents could perhaps be used to squash the Open Source movement. A shocking statement, perhaps, but it's standard operating procedure in hardball business. Big companies know that software patents are powerful tools. They can use patents to keep new entrants out of the market, force competitors to divulge trade secrets, or put them out of business.
Recently, AT&T notified open-source software author Bruce Perens that the company was filing a patent application on the core principle used in his Electric Fence debugging package. The company claimed it had invented the technique a year prior to Perens' release of the code. If AT&T gets the patent and Perens continues to distribute Electric Fence, he could be hit with a patent infringement lawsuit.
But wait a minute, you're probably thinking. Aren't patents legitimate? Inventors and innovators deserve patent protection. After all, the U.S. Constitution expressly calls for a patent system to "promote the progress of science and the useful arts". The whole idea of a patent boils down to this: A patent gives inventors an incentive to make their discoveries public. You make your discovery public, and in return, you get a 17- to 20-year monopoly on your invention. If anyone else wants to use it, fine, but you get a licensing fee.
Patents are legitimate--but only up to a point. The Framers intended patent rights to be balanced against the public good. Traditional patent law struck the balance very well. For example, you couldn't patent anything that could be discovered (as opposed to invented), such as an idea, a mathematical formula, or a computer algorithm. You also couldn't patent anything that already existed in prior art, even if the prior art isn't patented. You can patent a process for getting a result, a machine, an article of manufacture, or a new material--but there were restrictions here, too: your invention must be useful, genuinely new, and non-obvious, so that the invention would "surprise" even an expert in the field. It's a good system, and it's helped to put the U.S. in the forefront of technological innovation.
So what's wrong with software patents? Everything. The PTO has handed out thousands of patents for trivial software techniques that any developer working independently would discover. Little attempt is made to determine prior art. Increasingly, the agency is granting patents for obvious techniques that wouldn't surprise a 'Net-savvy sixth grader, let alone an expert.
Software patents have their defenders, of course. You'll be told that software patents give individual inventors and small companies their only real chance of competing against the likes of Microsoft and IBM. But don't believe it. Software patents aren't helping the little guy; they're putting small firms out of business. Today, you don't dare release a product without a patent search, which is increasingly expensive--and you'll wind up paying licensing fees for trivial, obvious functions that programmers have used for years. And most software patents don't benefit the actual inventors. Software patents chiefly benefit industry bullies, who use patents to push other companies around, and they also benefit a particularly odious species of parasite--a so-called "technology" company that never invented anything, consists of nothing but 200 attorneys, and possesses no other real property besides a totally bogus patent. If the bullies don't get you, the parasites will.
What's in the cards for Linux? Until recently, Linux was relatively safe; AT&T's original UNIX patents have long since expired, and Linux didn't pose a serious threat to the big marketplace bullies. The parasites weren't interested, since nobody made much money with Linux. But all that is changing, and it's changing big-time. It won't be long before the onslaught begins. The question isn't if, but when.
The real question is this: what should the Linux community do to defend itself? Electric Fence author Perens proposes that open-source organizations create their own patent portfolio, which could be used to put pressure on the big industry players--a "fight fire with fire" approach. Others call for Congress to reform the PTO's software patent practices--or eliminate software patents entirely. Still others call for the battle to be carried overseas, where multinational corporations are pressuring governments to make the same mistake the U.S. did: recognize software patents.
Call me a cynic if you like, but I don't think we'll see change until the situation gets so ridiculous that even the politicians will admit that reform is needed. Imagine where we'll be when the PTO hands out its millionth software patent, titled "A Method for Transposing Tactile Pressure On Alphanumeric Keys Into Representable Screen Displays in Hypermedia Systems." Issued to an obscure computer columnist named Bryan Pfaffenberger, this patent will cover every computer system that uses a keyboard and monitor. My demands? Take your pick: Immediate cessation of all manufacturing and recall of all existing units--or put all of your patents in the public domain.

On October 4, the Office of Student Life (OSL) will have their second annual Homecoming Tailgate from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. It will take place right before the homecoming hockey game, which will be played in the Fieldhouse from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The hockey team will be facing off against the Lindenwood Lions from Lindenwood University, the second of a back-to-back game against the Lions.
According to Darrius Hicks, the OSL Student Assistant, the Homecoming Tailgate will "include free food, yard games, raffle prizes, and also walk around takeaways." This will be an opportunity to meet up with your fellow students, staff, and learn more of what the OSL has to offer for students on campus during events like this.
Hicks says, "The Homecoming Tailgate originated last year and the Office of Student Life plans to keep this a new tradition and build upon it every year." From this, it looks like the OSL could add more events and activities to the annual tailgate. This is potentially one of the most exciting events of homecoming week.
Hicks is providing a helping hand in growing the tradition whenever it's needed. "I am a Student Assistant for the Office of Student Life so I help where I can whether it be space request, helping with set up, and overall making sure the event runs smoothly," says Hicks. He also says that students can expect "to have a new tradition on campus where you can come and wrap up homecoming week and enjoy a fun time with friends, faculty, and alumni as well."
The OSL, according to Hicks, does not plan to do any other tailgates outside of the present homecoming tradition.
If anyone, such as new students are wondering what the Office of Student Life has to offer in the future, Hicks says "The best way to learn more about our programs is to follow our social media on Instagram and also become a member on VictorsLink as we send out emails to everyone from there as well on the new stuff happening on campus from our office."
You can locate Office of Student Life on VictorsLink simply by searching their name. If you prefer social media, their Instagram handle is @umdearbornosl and Facebook page is listed at UM-Dearborn Office of Student Life.

ROSEMONT, IL (June 9 ,2017). – After rookie backstop Sahvanna Jaquish, in her first professional game, threw out a Beijing Shougang Eagles baserunner trying to steal third, veteran third baseman Stacy May-Johnson pointed back to Jaquish as if to say, 'nice job, kid.'
"It's calming when they [Bandits veterans] know that you're nervous and when they know what to do to calm you down when you make a good play like that," Jaquish said. "It's like we're speaking the same language."
Sahvanna Jaquish's first career at-bat was only one chapter in a night of firsts for the Bandits. Photo credit: Andrew Rosenthal, courtesy of National Pro Fastpitch.
Jaquish's appearance behind the plate was just one of several firsts during Friday's 13-3 win at The Ballpark at Rosemont. Rookie pitcher Breanna Wonderly made her first professional start in the circle and Australian second baseman Stacey McManus recorded her first career hit and home run in the contest.
The Bandits jumped all over Beijing starter Lan Wang early, scoring in the first inning for the third straight game. Shortstop Abby Ramirez and right fielder Emily Crane both smashed triples in the frame and designated player Emily Carosone blasted a two-run opposite-field shot into the left field party deck to put the Bandits on top 3-0 early. It was just the start of a mammoth night for Carosone, who finished with four hits and five RBI.
Wonderly, who signed with the Bandits as an undrafted free agent earlier in the week, got the nod for Chicago after last night's relief appearance marked her NPF debut. Things did not go as planned for the right-hander, however, as her outing lasted just 1.2 innings, spoiled in part by defensive miscues. Wonderly allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, but did hurl 23 of her 28 pitches for strikes.
The Bandits committed two errors in the top of the second inning behind Wonderly, putting a blemish into the team's .994 fielding percentage entering the game.
"[Wonderly's] ground balls are hit a little harder than some of the other ones, and they just need to read that," assistant coach Kyla Holas said.
The offense added four runs in the second and three more in the third to put the Bandits up big, 10-3. Stacey McManus, a rookie from Australia, hit her first career home run in the bottom of the third, a two-run bomb just inside the left field foul pole.
"I'm so happy for her," Holas said. "I was really excited for her to get that chance out there and shine like she did. You can't write a script better than that."
The offensive onslaught continued for the Bandits in the fifth as they piled on three more. The 13-3 score would hold for the rest of the game. Center fielder Sammy Marshall finished 3-for-3 hitting in the leadoff spot, and Abby Ramirez and Stacy May-Johnson each added two hits in the winning effort.
A trio of Bandits pitchers logged innings in relief of Wonderly, led by southpaw Haylie Wagner tossing 2.1 frames of no-hit ball, helping her earn win No. 5 of the season.
The win secured a series sweep of Beijing, putting the Bandits at an impressive 6-1 mark ahead of the team's first road matchup of the season. The next game, the first of a three-game set against the USSSA Pride, is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. ET on Sunday at JoAnne Graf Field, home of Florida State University. The game will be broadcast on NPF TV.
Quick Facts:
- Attendance: 711
- Time of game: 2 hours, 1 minute

Want a good old-fashioned uplifting gospel performance that'll send chills down your spine as you hear classics like "He's Still In The Fire" and "On The Jericho Road"? Get your old-time religion at one of Branson's longest-running shows, the inspirational Sunday Gospel Jubilee! Playing at the legendary complex encompassing Grand Country Music Hall (1945 W 76 Country Blvd) every Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm, Sunday Gospel Jubilee is the perfect place to go after a morning of spiritual renewal at church, or just to see a talented quartet perform old masterpieces and gospel staples you surely haven't heard in a long time!
The writing team at Save On Branson and Branson Show Tickets received a special treat as family man Brad Bacon took some time out from his busy schedule to share more about this must-see show, and to reveal the aspects in his life that matter to him the most: spending time with his wife Missy and daughters 8 year-old Maggie and 6 year-old Molly.
Q: What can fans expect to see at Sunday Gospel Jubilee?
Brad: Old time gospel songs and old time standards. We like to cover songs that people recognize. After the show, people come up to me and say, "I haven't heard that song in years!" We also try to keep the program upbeat.
Q: Why has Sunday Gospel Jubilee been successful for so many seasons now?
Brad: We're happy to announce we're in our 26th season. It certainly helps that we only perform one day a week! But we do have a long-running following – in addition to new fans every year, we have the same people that seem to come back year after year!
Q: What's your favorite song to sing?
Brad: "This Old House"!
Q: What do you like to do on your days off? What do you do in your spare time?
Brad: My family just bought a camper, so we're going exploring! We love to camp – we spent last weekend in Lampe on Table Rock Lake. This area is just so natural and beautiful. The girls got to go swimming in the lake and had a lot of fun. We love camp time, even for just a few days.
Q: The crowd finds the show very inspirational. Who inspired you to sing gospel music?
Brad: There's a group called Cathedral Quartet – they're a Southern gospel quartet led by George Younce. He's my hero. I've always wanted to sing and be like George.
Q: What church do you attend?
Brad: We attend Woodland Hills Family Church (3953 Green Mountain Dr). They're non-denominational, and their services are held each Sunday at 9:00 and 11:00.
Q: Can you tell me how Sunday Gospel Jubilee is different from other inspirational gospel shows in Branson?
Brad: Some of the other shows seem to have a little bit of country seep into their shows. We keep it straight and traditional Southern gospel. The talented vocal group New South is very similar, in that they cover old-style songs that you probably haven't heard in a long time!
Folks can purchase tickets for the inspirational Sunday Gospel Jubilee at BransonShowTickets.com, or by calling 877-688-3172.

SIP Trunking Implementation: A Systems Approach by Ivan Sindell
SIP Trunking Implementation: A Systems Approach
Given opportunity for design errors when implementing SIP, extensive design planning and communication are critical to ensuring success.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is inherently simple. It is readable, meaning that with a probe you can follow the session initiation by simply reading the messages as they travel between two devices. The protocol does not establish the route the content will traverse, nor its quality. After the session is established, SIP, as a protocol, is only responsible for ending the session.
SIP trunks were created to replace TDM B Channels in T1 lines -- one SIP trunk for one SIP Session. This allows VoIP premises switches to have a less expensive alternative to T1s. But more than 10 years after RFC 4904 created the specification for SIP trunks, more than 20% of SIP trunk installs today still have issues during implementation and operation. My SCTC colleague Beth English explored this last week on No Jitter. While Beth's article focused on organizational planning and communications complexity issues, this week's article will focus on challenges in design errors, procurement, and monitoring.

Arsenal have made a good start to the LG Amsterdam Tournament. The team from London began the tournament with a 2-1 win against Lazio Roma.
The first match of the AT was attractive. Nicklas Bendtner gave Arsenal the lead after 18 minutes, when the forward fired in the ball from a difficult angle: 0-1. Right before halftime Goran Pandev signed for the equaliser. The match was close throughout the second half. Gael Clichy (Arsenal), Stefano Mauri and Pandev (both Lazio) came close to scoring. Eduardo eventually helped manager Arsene Wenger's team to the victory. The striker headed the ball in from a corner.


text: Now that the House has narrowly passed the farm bill, the Senate is expected to take up the farm bill this week. Combest, Sell and Associates Principal Tom Sell expects several amendments challenging the crop insurance program. "Dick Durbin, the ranking minority whip, is talking about a means test on crop insurance, excluding wealthy individuals from participating in crop insurance. That impacts the entire risk pool." Several other amendments that directly challenge Title One are expected.

- The Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan was supposed to be imploded earlier today around 8:30am ET, however it is still standing after the explosions went off. This historic venue was the home of Wrestlemania 3 in 1987, which still holds the worked WWE record for the second most attended WWE event in history following WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
According to reporter Jon Hewitt, who works for CBS Detroit, a wiring issue is to blame for a series of cutting charges on eight main columns not going off as planned, which left the upper ring of the Silverdome still standing for at least another day.

She was the sweetest and kindest woman I've ever known and encouraged me to chase my dreams. She was a devoted wife, Mother and nurse who dedicated her life to caring for those in need. I'm so proud to be your son. Rest In Peace Janie Elizabeth Greenwood aka Mom. "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always..."

Oh, what I would have given, so many years ago…
Temptation luring from the fury tail of, The Bunny
Shapely legs, slightly meaty, girls from the 50's
Classic makeup applied to impress the features
Of a face with lines that eagerly entice, invite
Men with wallets who can pay the tab with the house
The well to do, some of the men with families too
The Club was not for anyone
It was for those who get it done
Living on the edge, at a time, when sex was whispered
Not afraid to stand up against the censors
Those God fearing creatures who think sex isn't love
Exposing the flesh for all to see was a no no
They didn't want you to see, what you see everyday
In Yourself!
Tits, ass and a hoochie-coochie on her
Tongue, hands and a mambo-jambo on him
A two piece puzzle that goes together perfectly well
Whatever happened to The Club?
Sadly still
Whatever happened to The Bunny?

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is already a few months old and the manufacturer is allegedly already moving on to its Mi 7 successor. According to a Weibo leakster, the phone should have the Snapdragon 845 chipset. It also would update from an LCD, as seen on the Mi 6, to a Samsung-built AMOLED with a 6" diagonal. All the rumored specs sound logical, but what is intriguing is the alleged announcement. The Xiaomi Mi 7 might appear in Q1 2018, making it the first smartphone with the newest Qualcomm chipset. Other sources suggest a 6 GB RAM and even a possibility of 8 gigs version. Source (in...
