A Buying Guide for Electric Lawnmowers
Electric mowers have many advantages over other types of mower. They are lighter and easier to manoeuvre, quieter and produce no emissions, making them more environmentally friendly. They also require very little maintenance compared to petrol mowers.
Corded electric mowers
Despite an increase in popularity of cordless mowers, there can still be advantages to buying a corded mower. If your garden is small and you want a mower that is cheap and light weight this could be a good option. You will need a power socket within range of the lawn, and you must be aware of the risk of cutting the power cable with the mower.
Battery powered electric mowers
Battery powered, or cordless, mowers eliminate the disadvantages of corded mowers, but are generally more expensive. They avoid the need for trailing leads and are capable of performing as well or better than petrol models in most situations. The only limiting factor is the length of time the battery charge lasts. They tend to be popular for small or medium sized gardens, but some mower batteries can last for an hour before running out of charge, and, with a spare battery, one can be charging while the other is in use.
Types of mowers
Wheeled rotary mowers dominate the market and are available at a wide range of prices and specifications. They are fine for most lawns and cope well with roots, undulations, weeds, leaves etc. Cheaper models can be poor quality.
Hover mowers are ideal for small or irregularly shaped gardens and anywhere a wheeled mower would struggle to reach.
Cylinder mowers tend to be more expensive and appeal to the more serious gardener. If well maintained, they are capable of producing a very good cut at a lower height than a rotary could manage. Regular sharpening and adjustment are essential.
Robotic mowers are expensive to buy but use very little power. You will need to install a wire just beneath the soil surface to set the boundary for cutting, but, from then on, the mower will do everything automatically, including recharging itself.
Ride-on mowers are only practical if you have a very big garden and a budget to match. They run for longer than a push mower but take much longer to charge.
Size of mower
Your best choice of mower will depend on the size and shape of your lawn. A larger mower will cut more grass at a time but will be heavier and less manoeuvrable whereas a smaller mower will cope with the tight turns of a small garden but won't be able to complete a larger garden before the battery runs flat.
Height adjustment: If you regularly cut long grass or like your lawn kept very short, choose a mower with sufficient blade height adjustment.
Stripes: If you want your lawn to have the traditional striped look you will need a mower with a roller.
Mulching: Mulching mowers cut grass clippings to a fine mulch which is returned to the lawn where it decomposes and returns nutrients to the soil. The lack of waste makes this an environmentally friendly option.

A: This depends on how much content you want us to put out. Some of our clients want 100 000 words a month (true story). But we can start small and get bigger.
Q: Who are your writers?
A: All of our content writers are native English speakers and they all have a passion for travel and SEO. That means we are able to create high-quality travel content highly SEO optimized by professionals.
Q: Can I just order this and not worry about my content anymore?
A: Yes and no. Even on our own sites, we optimize content regularly. It's an important part of SEO. So, once your posts are ranking we would encourage you to look at the data and optimize some of them accordingly. We can do this too.
Q: When will I receive my order?
A: We usually turn around orders in 4-7 business days, but if you want to set a day of the month you want it by, we'll get it done by then, every month!

The winner of The Voice has been crowned at the show's 2016 season grand finale.
The final four of Sydney's Alfie Arcuri, Melburnian Adam Ladell, Gold Coaster Tash Lockhart and Brisbane's Ellen Reed each performed solo and a duet with their coach tonight.
Alfie sung a version of "Catapult" by Jack Savoretti and then sung a duet with coach Delta Goodrem of "Beneath Your Beautiful" by Labrinth featuring Emeli Sande.
Adam performed "Superheroes" by The Script, and backed up to sing Cyndi Lauper's "True Colours" as a duet with coach Delta.
Tash Lockhart sung "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield and then performed the Crowded House classic "Don't Dream It's Over" with coach Ronan Keating.
After the performances, Australia's votes were counted, and both Reed (Team Jessie) and Lockhart (Team Ronan) were the first to be ruled out of the running.
The result left Ladell, 16, and Arcuri, 27, as the final two standing. Both were coached by a jubilant Delta.
Host Sonia Kruger then named the winner as Alfie Arcuri, which is Delta's first winner as a coach on The Voice.
The crowd erupted into screams of delight as Alfie digested the news.
"You are the voice of Australia!" said Sonia.
"Any words?"
"This whole experience was always more than singing for me," said a stunned Alfie.
"It was a personal growth experience."
"Delta has been our rock, and our guidance for the last few weeks."
"Alfie was a very special artist from the start," Delta said.
"He has a real gift and beautiful charisma which shines every time he sings.
"I am so proud and honoured to have shared this journey with him as his coach on Team Delta and The Voice season five. I couldn't be more proud that Australia has voted for Alfie. It's been an incredible season, and I look forward to seeing Alfie develop as an artist who will always have my support."
Alfie takes home a recording contract with Universal Music Australia, $100,000 in cash and brand new Mazda3 car.
In addition to the contestants' efforts, Good Charlotte – the band of coaches Joel and Benji Madden – and US girl band Fifth Harmony also performed live.

Dūcere meet Virgin CEO, Sir Richard Branson
Dūcere CEO, Mathew Jacobson, has just returned from Sir Richard Branson's private Necker Island, located in the scenic British Virgin Islands. This was all part of The Change Makers conference, an annual event where 25 entrepreneurs from across the world are invited to network with Richard Branson in a unique tropical setting. Mat talked to us about the experience, discussing cross-sector learning, chatting with Mr. Branson and Dūcere's role in disrupting the educational landscape, and maybe a little bit of kite surfing along the way.
Welcome back Mat, so how did this opportunity come about?
Thanks, glad to be back. So this is a conference run each year on Necker Island, The Change Makers Entrepreneurship Conference. The organisers gather recommendations of people from all over the globe who are disrupting their chosen industry sector through innovation and I was fortunate to be contacted by this year's organisers.
I was pretty excited about a week with Richard Branson but I was a little sceptical at first. When I looked at the itinerary it was all about sports and sailing and surfing. So I rang the organiser and said, this all sounds really fun, but I'm not going to go all that way to Necker Island just to go sailing and surfing. Are people actually talking to Richard Branson about business collaboration? And the organiser said that it's just the ways it's done, over a beer or over dinner or on the beach. There are no formal meeting rooms with screens and PowerPoints. That's not the way he works.
What is the Change Marker's Conference?
Well it's basically 25 entrepreneurs from around the world from all from different sectors. There were a few from Australia, America, Germany and the UK – all doing some amazing things. Diversity among sectors was key, for example, while one person from the UK was working on a solar powered plane, there was another person from Germany who is developing underwater drone technology. While everyone was an entrepreneur, fuelled by their ideas, the level of variety was amazing. And it was a very unique forum, at least for me, chatting about work over breakfast, lunch or while your sailing.
Do you think that was beneficial?
I thought that was a very different way to work and it definitely has some pros and cons to it. On the negative side you didn't get as much of a clear, formal idea of the businesses people are involved in. Usually people show you brochures and PowerPoints, but you didn't have any of that. It was really much more conversational. But you actually built relationships with people that you'll keep forever. And the passion of people really shows through. That was the lesson about Richard Branson – how he does business – builds relationships with people rather than looking at spreadsheets and business plans.
What did you personally talk about with Sir Richard Branson?
We talked about Dūcere and he thought what we were doing was really exciting and interesting. He understands the importance of learning from people who are actually successful. Having dropped out of school, he might have come to the conclusion that you don't need education. But he recognised that that his path was a unique path, and that most of the time education is the foundation of a solid career. I mean you can point to school drop-outs like Zuckerberg and Branson and think that you can become a millionaire, which is true, but for every Branson, there are actually lots who don't succeed. You are going to be more secure and better off by having education and that's why Branson himself supports various education initiatives like his entrepreneurship programs currently in South Africa, recognising that education has a very important role in the community.
The itinerary said "dream, innovate and be inspired". What did you take away from the experience?
It was an environment to help you think bigger. It's important to me to be around people who are doing big, inspiring ideas. This wasn't a group of educators; this was a group of entrepreneurs doing whatever their passion is on a large-scale. And that's really important to me, to be around people from other sectors because it gets me thinking that maybe there's a lesson from, say, engineering, that can be applied to the education sector. That's one of the things you get from a high calibre group of motivated entrepreneurs.
40 years ago Virgin shook up the music industry with Virgin records, and they've been doing that ever since. Do you see a comparison to what Dūcere are doing with the education industry?
That's a good point. Branson takes an industry, like airlines or music and disrupts that industry. He's a risk taker and takes on the big entrenched corporations. We are similar in that education is going through a significant disruption. There are lots of challenges to the educational model. And we think we are a big part of that, taking formal academic qualifications and combining them with case studies of real world leaders.

The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded GMLPF £9,925 to fund vital research and training in mental health supporting organisations in the skills sector. Ian Lomas, Chief Executive of GMLPF and Debbie Tagoe, Chair of GMLPF, welcome the investment made by the Community Fund as it will enable GMLPF to undertake more important work in the area of mental health.
What Matters To People
The lottery fund prioritises projects that matter to people and to communities and gives money to 'great projects or ideas that bring people together and build strong relationships in and across communities'. GMLPF will use the award to widen its existing mental health project that supports providers of apprenticeships and other learning.
Original research carried out by GMLPF in 2018 revealed that member organisations are spending dozens of hours each month handling the mental health issues of learners. On average each of our members is facing a student mental health incident requiring intervention more than once a week. The initial tranche of research also threw the spotlight on the mental health of training provider staff. Ian explains:
"With three in every ten students presenting with a mental health challenge, it places an enormous strain on staff. Indications are that their own mental health is being impacted which in turn has an effect on their ability to support students, creating a vicious circle. We're delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised the importance of our work in this area. Now, thanks to National Lottery players we will be able to explore this area in detail, improve our members' understanding of mental health, pinpoint solutions and design training to enhance staff resilience and ability.'
Mapping Change
The first phase of the funds will be spent on follow up research with providers. The project is designed to record the issues and map any changes since the original research last year. It will build on the first set of findings around how mental ill-health is a barrier to participation in learning programmes and its impact on achievement levels.
Taking the form of an online questionnaire and face to face qualitative research, the findings will feed into a training programme for providers. AT Skills have already successfully delivered level 2 mental health first aid and awareness courses for GMLPF members. They will be further tailoring their programme in line with the research findings to ensure it meets providers' changing needs. For example, indications from the initial phase of the project show that the mental health of staff, as well as that of learners, is a growing issue. The course will reflect this and will be delivered over two days, with participants gaining a level 2 qualification.
Ambassadors Skilled Up To Help Peers
Another slice of the funding will be spent on skilling up Liverpool City Region Apprentice Ambassadors who will be trained in mental health awareness. The ambassadors will complete a one day course delivered by 3D Training. This innovative programme sets out to help plug the gap in post-16 mental health support. Through the course, participants will gain an enhanced understanding of spotting mental health issues and signposting sufferers. Siobhan Saunders of Liverpool City Region Apprenticeship Hub explains:
"We don't want apprentices falling through the net because of mental health issues. Training and understanding will result in young people getting the help they need to lead a happier life and complete their qualifications. The ambassadors can help remove stigma and boost the number of their peers who receive essential support."
The award from the National Lottery Community Fund will also be used to develop an online suite of resources for both providers and learners. The choice of materials available will be in line with findings from the research carried out but are likely to include links to videos, further training resources, leaflets and case studies as well as signposts for further help and assistance.

Bootleg Rascal coming to SS&A Club, Albury
SYDNEY-based party starters Bootleg Rascal will bring their theatrical show to Albury next month as part of a 15-date national tour.
Bootleg Rascal are a Sydney-based band comprising of long-time collaborators and friends Carlos Lara and Jimmy Young.
The tour will feature emerging artists including A.GIRL, Alex Hosking, The Bambuseae Rhythm Section, Deadshowws, Drop Legs, Fresh Violet, Grace Grove, Liv Li, Muddy Wolfe, Nelipot, R.em.edy, Richysand, Saint Lane, Saint Spook, T$oko, Timi Temple and Venice Queens.
Young said the band was rolling the dice with a new touring format.
"This tour is a phenomena; we wanted to do something a bit different rather than the regular live music format," he said.
"We've been inspired by lots of different things like The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus - we have a bit of the theatrical elements - it's our own version of that."
Young said the duo have also curated some special entertainment to take place in between artist sets.
Titled Bobby Dazzler's Sideshow Alley, it will feature crowd participation games such as Pinger Piata, Wheel of Misfortune, Pin the Toupee on Trump and Nah Yeah or Yeah Nah.
"We're pushing the boundaries on what people are used to and making it more of an experience," Young said.
Since 2013, Bootleg Rascal have released a slew of singles, an EP and two albums.

Arava Drug Interactions
There are concerns about using roflumilast with medications that affect the immune system, such as Arava. Using these medications together could suppress your immune system too much, potentially increasing your risk for developing serious infections. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking roflumilast with Arava.
Arava may increase the level of tolbutamide in the bloodstream, potentially increasing your risk for tolbutamide side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together.
Arava may decrease the effectiveness of vaccines. Therefore, it is generally recommended that people receive any needed vaccinations before beginning Arava treatment. In addition, Arava can increase the risk for side effects from live vaccinations. Examples of live vaccinations include the chickenpox (varicella), polio, and smallpox vaccines. Make sure to let your healthcare provider know that you are taking Arava before receiving any vaccination.
In rare cases, Arava has been reported to increase the effects of warfarin, which could increase your risk for bleeding. Due to the risk of potentially serious bleeding problems, your healthcare provider should monitor you more closely, especially when you start, stop, or have a change in your Arava dose.

Caring for the Frail and Elderly
The Drs and staff at Ash are keen to provide sensitive, supportive and responsive care for the frail and elderly in our population.
We feel we have achieved this over the years by providing continuity of care and working closely with our partners in Health and Social care.
More recently we have been involved in the development of Care Plans for patients who are considered to be at particular risk of unplanned hospital admissions. The Care Plans are overseen by the named, accountable GP for that person, and are regularly updated. They allow (with patient consent) for sharing of patient clinical information with the out of hours services, so improving continuity of care and reducing the risk of unplanned admission.
We have also been involved in screening of our >75 year population for frailty with a self-filled questionnaire. Depending on the results of that questionnaire, some patients are being offered a further medical assessment to identify any specific needs. If deemed appropriate some are then being referred to social, medical or psychological support services.
We have parking for disabled and disabled access to our surgery.
All rooms are on the ground floor and accessible by wheelchair or scooter.
There are lavatory facilities for the disabled near the main entrance.
If you are in need of any help, please let staff at reception know.

The Hon. CHARLES DEVENS, Jr., has been appointed a Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of the Hon. Horace Gray. Mr. Justice Devens, in his honorable career at the bar, in the army, and, for the last six years, on the bench of the Superior Court, has proved himself an eloquent advocate, a successful general, and an accurate, courteous, and dignified judge. His elevation to the supreme bench meets with general acceptance as a fitting recognition of his distinguished services.
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. - SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT. In the matter of E. W. James and Others, Petitioners for the appointment of Supervisors of Elections. — This was a petition by five legal voters of Ward 3 in Boston, for the appointment of supervisors of elections under the provisions of chapter 376 of the acts of 1873, being an act to prevent fraud at elections in cities. The question was argued whether the act, so far as relates to such appointment of supervisors by the Supreme Court, was constitutional. The Chief Justice gave the decision. He said that he had conferred with the other judges, and the opinion which he was to announce was the opinion of the full court. It was an important constitutional question. The statute was plain enough; but if it was clearly repugnant to the constitution, it must be disregarded. The people, in the constitution, had taken special precautions to separate the three departments of the government. The judges could not hold political offices. They might make appointments of certain subordinate officers, but such of these as had duties to perform which were at all executive in their nature must make report to the court. They might appoint clerks and other officers, who might be necessary to transact the business of the court, and they might try the title to an office. This statute provided, in the first section, that the Supreme Judicial Court might appoint and commission supervisors, who were to be sworn to the faithful discharge of their duty. Their duties were defined by the second section. Certain powers were intrusted to them beyond what belonged to other citizens. They were to be sworn. They were not to return any report to the court. They were to scrutinize the election. The question was, whether the appointment of such officers belonged to the judicial department of the gov. ernment, and the judges were unanimous in their opinion that it did not, and that the act was so far unconstitutional. It might be said that this decision was at variance with the decisions of the circuit courts of the United States which had appointed supervisors under an act of Congress. But these courts might not have had the question distinctly before them. The judges were obliged to act separately, and, besides, the Constitution of the United States differed from that of Massachusetts. The phrase had a broader meaning in the one than in the other. In reply to the question whether the decision went to the constitutionality of the whole act, the Chief Justice said that the court only decided that so much of the act as declared it to be the duty of the judge of the court to appoint supervisors could not be complied with, because in conflict with the constitution.
This important decision has not been reported yet, and we are indebted for the above imperfect sketch to the Boston Daily Advertiser.
THE BANKRUPT Act. ACCOMMODATION INDORSER. — In re Clemens. — The United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Missouri reverses the decision of Judge Treat, ante, page 168, and decides that the indorser of a note not originating in his business, and solely for the accommodation of another person, cannot, if he fails to pay the same, be proceeded against in invitum, and be adjudicated a bankrupt. Judge Withey (Re Nicodemus, 2 Chicago Legal News, 49, 8. c. 3 Bank. Reg. 55) and Judge Blatchford (Innes v. Carpenter, 4 Bank. Reg. 139, and also Re McDermott Bolt Co., 3 ib. 33; Re Lowenstein, 2 ib. 99) have expressed the opinion that the accommodation indorsement of the note of another did not make it, within the meaning of the clause of the act under consideration, the commercial paper of the accommodation indorser. On the other hand, Judge Lowell (Re Chandler, 4 Bank. Reg. 66, s. c. 1 Lowell Decisions, 478) has reached the opposite conclusion.
THE PEOPLE v. STOKES. — The course of this now famous case has been finally run; and Edward S. Stokes has been convicted of manslaughter in the third degree, and sentenced to imprisonment in the state prison for four years. The management of the case for the people, and the conduct of the presiding judge, are worthy of remark. That the District Attorney tried his case on behalf of the people without the assistance of a private prosecutor, and that Judge Davis was evidently shocked at the behavior of the jury and the result at which they arrived, mark, it seems to us, a healthy change in the administration of criminal justice in this state. The subsequent indictment and sentence of several of the jury for bribery and corrupt practices show how well founded was the general opionion as to the propriety of the verdict.
THE JUDICIARY AMENDMENT. — We regret to say that an appointed judiciary has met with no favor from the people of New York, the amendment to the constitution establishing it having received about 100,000 votes out of a total poll of 400,000. But one county voted in its favor; New York city cast a negative vote of two to one, and the country voted overwhelmingly the same way. But little effort to instruct and persuade voters was made by the bar and those in favor of the amendment till just before the election. The country people said that their judging was done very well under the present law, and the city said, " Our judges are good enough for us; " and possibly they are.
THE PEOPLE v. TWEED. — Three years ago there was organized in New York the Tweed Testimonial Association, having for its object the erection of
a statue of the Hon. William M. Tweed, in consideration of his services to the Commonwealth of New York." The twenty-ninth of last November Tweed was taken to the state penitentiary on Blackwell's Island, in which he has been sentenced to twelve years' imprisonment at hard labor, and where at last he will have an opportunity of doing some good " service to the Commonwealth of New York." It is a time for honest men to rejoice and be glad, and especially to render due respect to the few untiring and devoted men, who, undeterred by the threats of the guilty and the sneers or faint-hearted predictions of the indifferent, have wrought this good work to the end.
If we can trust the newspapers, there are some great emotional natures at the New York bar. We are told that, on the announcement of the favorable verdict for Stokes, one of his counsel " wept like a child," upon which the prisoner " patted his shoulder caressingly." Mr. Graham, too, weeps when a motion in favor of Tweed is overruled, and also, and perhaps with more reason, when he himself is punished for contempt. Tears we have been taught to consider woman's weapon; and, having a wholesome fear of its power, we have, we confess, always looked with some alarm on her prospective admission to the bar. Fancy the effect on tender-hearted jurymen of lovely woman in distress, dissolved in tears at objections to the admission of her evidence by the opposing male counsel, or at the adverse ruling of a masculine judge. Possibly it is with a view of meeting these new opponents that the gentlemen above inentioned are practising what Mr. Weller, we believe, used to call " letting on the main;" and they may hope to be able, with patience and perseverance, to beat the ladies at their own weapons. It would seem, however, to be a fond and foolish striving.
ContemPT OF Court. — Tweed's trial, like that of Stokes, had a sequel; but in the former it was the prisoner's counsel, and not his jurors, who met what we have every reason to suppose was deserved punishment. Contempt of court is strictly defined by the statutes of New York, and its punishment limited. The Ring, when it and its judges were in power, brought forward a bill to extend this power of the courts with a view of silencing more effectually their opponents. But the bill never became a law. Mr. Justice Davis inflicted on Tweed's counsel the highest fine in his power, — two hundred and fifty dollars.
This prerogative of the court, it seems to us, should be exercised, as in this case it was, with great discretion. Recently, during the progress of a suit in the highest court of one of the States, a newspaper published a scurrilous article abusing the plaintiff and his motives in bringing the suit; and a copy of the newspaper was found in the house of the foreman of the jury. The publisher of the newspaper was brought before the court, and fined, for contempt, twenty-five dollars, the penalty for drunkenness or a simple assault. Now, if this contempt was an offence at all, it was a most aggravated one, and merited a severe punishment. We cannot think that this paltry fine did much to enhance the dignity of a great court, or respect for the administration of justice.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM. — JUDICIARY. — LEGISLATIVE CORRUPTION. – CORPORATIONS. — The new constitution was submitted to the people on the sixteenth of December, and adopted by 200,000 majority, Philadelphia itself casting 30,000 majority in its favor. In our last number, page 170, we spoke of the judiciary clause, and also of a proposed section invalidating bills passed by corrupt means. The latter, however, was defeated in the convention. From a letter of the executive committee of the convention to the people of Pennsylvania, we copy a description of some of the prominent features of the constitution:
The article on legislation requires that every bill shall be read at length on three different days in each house, and no bill shall become a law unless passed by a majority of the members elected to each house; nor unless on its final passage the vote is taken by yeas and nays, and the vote of each member entered on the journal. The legislature is restrained from passing local or special laws upon a number of specified subjects.
To insure official fidelity, so far as possible, it is provided that any member of the General Assembly who shall solicit, demand, or receive, or consent to receive, directly or indirectly, any money or thing of value, or appointment, or personal advantage, or promise thereof, for his vote or official influence, or for withholding tho same, shall be held guilty of bribery, and be disqualified from holding any office or position of profit in the state; and the like punishment is provided for any person who shall influence, or attempt to influence corruptly any member of the General Assembly.
Another clause authorizes the governor to veto any one or more items of any bill making appropriations of money, and to approve the rest.
The seventh article requires senators and representatives, and all judicial, state, and county officers, to take and subscribe the usual oath to support the constitution, and discharge their duties of office with fidelity; and, in addition, that they have not knowingly violated any election laws of the commonwealth, or procured it to be done by others, and that they will not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly, any money or other valuable thing for the performance or non-performance of any act or duty pertaining to such office other than the compensation allowed by law; and provides that any one convicted of having sworn or affirmed falsely shall be guilty of perjury, and for ever disqualified for holding any office of trust or profit within the commonwealth.
Neither the state, nor any county, city, borough, or township, shall loan their credit, or become stockholders in any company, association, or corporation.
The seventeenth article, on railroads and canals, gives to every railroad company the right, with its road, to intersect, connect with, or cross any other railroad, and requires them to transport each the other's passengers, tonnage, and cars, loaded or empty, without delay or discrimination.
All persons shall have equal right of transportation, and no unreasonable discrimination shall be made in charges or in facilities for transportation, and persons and property shall be delivered at any station at charges not exceeding the charges for transportation of persons and property of the same class in the same direction to any more distant station.
Railroad companies are forbidden to consolidate with, or own, or control com. peting lines, or to engage in any other business than that of common carriers, of to own or acquire lands, except such as shall be necessary for carrying on its business; discriminations in charges by drawbacks or otherwise are forbidden. Free passes, except to officers and employees, shall not be issued.
The accompanying ordinance provided that, while the rest of the state should vote on the adoption of the constitution, according to the provisions of the existing election laws in the city of Philadelphia, the election should be under the charge of five commissioners appointed by the convention. This was done to meet the notorious frauds and corruptions of the Philadelphia " ring," which now casts the vote of that city, and which is, naturally enough, opposed to constitutional and all other reform. The Supreme Court of the state has pronounced this action of the convention void, and declares that it went beyond its powers in prescribing the mode of voting upon its adoption. This is an interesting question, and one on which there is a wide difference of opinion. The practice has certainly been for constitutional conventions to regulate the manner of voting on their work.
Personal. — The following extracts from a contemporary legal journal must be of much interest to a limited circle, and are entertaining reading even to others. We suppress names.
Legis PersonÆ. — A. B., Esq., is building up a lucrative practice in H.
TELEGRAPH COMPANY, — LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE. Candee v. Wesiern Union Telegraph Co. Tyler v. Same. Redpath v. Same. — On page 763 of Volume VII. of the Law Review, we gave the facts in the first of these three cases. The case was afterwards carried to the Supreme Court, which has lately given its decision in favor of the plaintiff. Through some oversight or negligence of the operator, the plaintiff's order to purchase stock was sent the day after it should have been sent, and the plaintiff thereby lost $500. The message was written on a "night message blank," which contained the condition that the company would not be liable for errors or delay in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery of messages, from whatever cause arising. The court says:
We think that the regulations were intended to secure the company against liability for the injurious consequences flowing from its own, and from the negligence and omissions of its agents and operators in and about the performance of its contract entered into with the sender of the message. The supposed exemption is broad and sweeping, and calculated, no doubt, to relieve the company from all responsibility for the improper or insufficient performance, or attempted performance, of the contract, or for the entire failure to perform it, from whatever cause occurring. Aside from the objections resting on grounds of public policy, and which forbid the com

Timothy C from the Lower Sixth has achieved an exceptional piece of work, where the Maths and programming required are well beyond A Level preparation. The project 'Lancing Prime' started when Mr Bullen, Head of Mathematics, emailed Timothy a link to a blog post about the 'Corpus Christie Prime', created by a student at Cambridge, and suggested they worked together to create a similar Lancing Prime.
Within a couple of days, and without any support from the teaching staff, Timothy had created the image below:
Timothy writes:
"The Corpus Christie Prime is 2688 digits long and constructed from pixel art; our prime is 8946 digits long and constructed from a photograph. With each digit, the size of the number is increased tenfold and with it the computational complexity, but the detail of the image is hugely improved. Yet as amazing as it is, the Lancing Prime is not the only prime which I have found, and with the software I have developed, it is as simple as running a program and waiting.
Before I explain how this was done, it is important to understand the significance of a number being prime. The definition of a prime is a number that cannot be divided wholly by any integer other than itself and 1. Any natural number can be expressed as a product of primes, but a prime can only be expressed as itself. Prime numbers are the building blocks of all numbers – they cannot be pulled apart into component parts because they are the components.
The definition sounds simple enough, but finding out if a number is prime is deceptively difficult. The naive approach is to attempt to divide by every integer from 2 to the prime, but for a prime with upwards of 5000 digits that algorithm would take longer than the age of the universe to complete. Instead, we must turn to computational number theory, and in particular the Miller-Rabin test, a probabilistic algorithm that tests if a number is prime to a high degree of accuracy - and fast.
Of course, testing if a given number is prime is only half the battle. How do we find numbers that look like images in the first place? Well, different digits need different numbers of pixels to draw, so some will appear darker than others. This means we have 10 different shades to work with when creating art in a number. So I wrote a small python script to convert any grayscale image into a 'perfect number' by analysing the pixels row by row and assigning each one to the closest match of the possible digits, in terms of the darkness of the pixel.
Once we have this number, we need to randomly change digits until the number is prime. At this point, we must take care to ensure the program is efficient. It would be easy to change numbers in terms of the way they are represented, as a human would, but this would require computationally intensive conversion operations – within the computer a number is stored in binary, not decimal. So instead we perform digit changes mathematically as follows, where n and d represent the new digit and the position of the digit to change, respectively:
The main program will change digits randomly using this function and feed each resulting number into the Rabin-Miller test, increasing the number of digits changed after every 100 numbers tested. In the case of the Lancing Prime, only 6 digits were changed, but for others it was over 100. When a number passes the Rabin-Miller test, it is formatted back into rows like the original image and tested further with more iterations of the Rabin-Miller test. Then we simply open this file in a word processor, set it to the desired font, and we have a prime number that looks like our original image.
That was a lot of maths and I think it's easy for us to lose sight of why any of this matters. It's difficult to disagree with the idea that the Lancing College Chapel is beautiful – but if in a few simple mathematical functions we have discovered that in the building blocks of numbers, in mathematics itself, we can find things as beautiful as anything we find around ourselves – then what does that say about the beauty of maths? The wonders of mathematics often remain hidden from those who don't look, and what I have made is barely a fragment of these wonders, but I hope this endeavour has begun to express the beauty that a mathematician can see in maths."
Well done Timothy for this outstanding achievement!

…are they all drooling, yahoo right-wingers? Of course not. But in the caricature of supporters of the Senate bill they must be, because they all are opposed to, or extremely skeptical, of "the path to citzienship," according to these Washington Times and Washington Post articles. All of them represent liberal to moderate congressional districts, and Shays and Davis are famously thoughtful (if often irritating to conservatives). If Bush doesn't have them, it looks really bad for him–perhaps impossible–in the House. Here's some Davis from the Washington Times:
It's the same reaction many House Republicans in moderate and liberal districts have had after hearing from angry constituents in recent weeks, said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III, the former chairman of the House Republican Campaign Committee who can cite encyclopedic knowledge of congressional districts off the top of his head.
"It is the hottest issue out there," he said, referring to public reaction nationwide, including his own moderate district in Northern Virginia. "Everywhere I go, even the ethnic groups, everybody is talking about this."
It was with much uneasiness, Mr. Davis said, that he voted for the House's tough border-security bill last year. But since then, he said, he has been stunned by the overwhelming public support for the House approach to immigration reform.
Voters have no faith that the federal government will secure the borders and begin enforcing immigration laws, Mr. Davis said, and they are outraged over the Senate's citizenship proposal.
"I have seen it out in my own district, which is a very wealthy, educated, thoughtful district," Mr. Davis said. His constituents "are not knee-jerk people," he said, but "have taken a look at this thing and are very, very tough on immigration right now. They want a tough bill."
Polling, he said, shows "better than 2-to-1″ support for the House bill over the Senate bill….
At a breakfast with reporters yesterday sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Mr. Davis said it is a common misperception in Washington — especially among the press — that only right-wingers are up in arms over illegal immigration.
"This is not just hard-right conservatives," he said. "These are seniors, these are liberals. Everybody thinks the border ought to be enforced, the rule of law should be preserved."
Politically speaking, Mr. Davis said Democrats should be "very, very careful" about getting too cozy with the illegal alien lobbyists if they want to make gains in the House or the Senate.

Stamford Bridge by Free-ers is licsened by CC Attributions 2.0 Generic
Chelsea F.C V Hull City F.C
Chelsea have faced Hull 45 times, they have won 31 of them, drawn 10 and Hull have only won 4 of them.
The last time Hull beat Chelsea was in 1988 down in League Division Two, since then Chelsea have won 11 and drawn 2. Last time out in the reverse fixture Chelsea won comfortably 2-0 with 2nd half goals from Willian and Diego Costa completing the scoring.
Chelsea's record came to a holt a couple of games back when they lost 2-0 away at Tottenham but they bounced back with a 4-1 F/A Cup when over Peterborough the an impressive 3-0 away win against Champions Leicester last time out. They still sit pretty at the top of the table.
Antonio Conte has confirmed that Diego Costa is back in contention following his recent dispute with the club. The manager has also warned his players to remain focused as the Tigers have improved under new manager Marco Silva and they could punish any Chelsea mistakes.
Chelsea are back to full strength now John Terry's ban has ended, however he is unlikely to make the starting line up for the game.
Hull City have only managed to keep one clean sheet all season and you feel if they are to get a result here they will need to do that here. They will also have one eye on their midweek tie in the semi finals 2nd leg against Manchester United, they recently lost 2-0 in the first leg. They did get through to the 4th round of the F.A Cup too with a recent win over Swansea. Last time out in the Premier League they managed a good 3-1 win over Bournemouth. They are currently 2nd to bottom in the league but a win will take them out of the relegation zone.
Marco Silva is under no illusions and understands the task he has in keeping his side in the Premier league but believes his players have the fight in them for the task.
Hull's Snodgrass is doubtful with a muscle injury and they are without a host of others: Elmohamady and Mbokani (African Cup of Nations), Keane and Odubajo (knee), Henriksen (shoulder) and Bruce (achilles).
Chelsea are very short @1/5 with PaddyPower and William Hill. The draw is best @7/1 with a few of the firms and you can back Hull @20/1 with Boylesports if you fancy an outsider.
Chelsea to win to Nil is @ 31/40 with BetVictor and that is what I will be putting my money on.

10 Gorgeous Apartment Balcony Garden Design Ideas
Hey guys! In this post I want to show you 10 absolutely beautiful apartment balcony garden design ideas, that would make you crave for a garden right on your balcony!
Living in an apartment means giving up a lot of things you have while living in a house, and one of this is definitely the garden.
I know so many people living in an apartment who would do anything for a green space where they could plant flowers and trees and where they could simply feel surrounded by nature.
"But that's quite impossible while living in an apartment", that's what most people would say, isn't it right?
Well, I say everything is possible in our world, and an apartment garden is no exception. In case you're not sure what I mean yet, I'll give you a clue: balcony.
Yes, the balcony is the perfect place for a garden. Even though you may be a bit surprised at first, if you take a look at some apartment balcony garden design ideas, you'll see that it could actually look amazing. And if you've always been a garden lover, this will be paradise for you.
So if these first few paragraphs made you believe it's possible to have your own garden in your own apartment, I suggest you to pay attention to the following lines, because I will try to explain step by step how you can do this and I will also show you some apartment balcony garden design ideas, that you could use in decorating your future garden.
I say you should give it a try, after all there's nothing to lose, but a lot to gain. Only think about that green space you've always dreamed about, right in your apartment! 😀
Good to know before starting
- Check how much space you have:
This is very important to know because it will help you get a good idea about what plants you can grow, how you can decorate or what type of style you can choose for your garden.
Obviously, a more spacious balcony automatically means that you have a wider range of options when it comes to garden stuff, but if this isn't your case, make sure you know how much place you have for your green space.
- Think about what you want in your garden:
There are people who have a passion for growing plants, others that want just a vegetable garden and some that are only interested in having a green space on their balcony.
So before starting to make plans about your garden, decide what exactly you want. It could be one of the things I mentioned, there could be more or it could be something totally different, this is all up to you.
- Make sure your garden won't lack water:
That's a very common problem many people forget about, and after setting up a beautiful garden, they realize their plants will still need water quite often.
So if you want to make sure you won't get in a similar situation, I advise you to buy a watering can. As you live in an apartment, there aren't many possibilities for a external water source, so watering your garden manually is usually the best solution.
Once you thought about these 3 things, you probably have a good idea about what exactly you want from your balcony garden and how exactly you want to arrange it. That's why I want to tell you about each type of garden separately, focusing on the way you should organize it, the plants you could choose and the most suitable decorations.
If you want to create one of those types of garden it's great, but you can also combine them, like having a garden where you grow both decorative plants or vegetables. It's your choice. 🙂
1. Ornamental plants garden
This type of garden is probably the most common one, probably because it is very easy to take care of and it doesn't require a very big space. On the contrary, even the smallest balcony would be a perfect place for an ornamental garden.
When it comes to the plants, as your garden is located on the balcony, it is better that most them to be put in pots and containers. This will help you manage your space much better and it will also make your garden look well organized. Remember that you don't want your garden to look like a jungle.
Another factor you should consider is that, at one point, you will have to move some of your plants, either because of the bad weather or because you simply want to reorganize your garden a bit. That's another reason why you should place your plants in pots.
However, a garden full of simply potted plants would not be a real garden, this is why I want to give you some great ideas of improvised pots. These could change your garden's appearance completely, giving it a wild charm.
Hanging potted plants are definitely a hit when it comes to a garden's design. You can actually use anything as a pot, from normal jars to metal boxes, as long as it looks natural it will also look unique.
Another interesting element that would make your garden unique are tall, layered pots, that will make your plants seem like they grew up one on top of each other. When I first saw this arrangement, I was totally in love with the idea, to me it seems amazing. 🙂
Now we have to talk about one of the most important aspects of the ornamental garden, and that it: what plants should you choose? My answer to this question is a very simple one, choose whatever you like and whatever you think it would look good, after all, you're the one that has to like the garden first.
However, try going for common ornamental plants, that grow well in your country's climate, so that you won't have any problems with them.
Imagine how it would be to choose placing a palm tree on your balcony when you're living in New York. I definitely wouldn't like to be in that palm tree's shoes. 😛
A visit to one of the local plant shops would be a great thing in this case, as most of the plants you'll find there are plants that grow well in that type of climate.
Although your garden is all green now, full of different types of plants in different types of pots, there is still enough place for small decorations that will blend with the original decor, making it even more charming.
This is the best moment to go for some diy crafts, like a simple wooden vase or some painted empty pots, you can even let the watering can somewhere to be seen, as it matches the decor very well.
In this way, you will have a very original balcony garden, that will surely make you feel like you're in the middle of nature. And in the end, that's what you want, isn't it? 🙂
2. Vegetables garden
Many of you might be interested in this type of garden because it's a great way to get organic food right from your home. Well, the good news is that it's pretty simple to maintain a vegetables garden on your balcony and if you're a gardening lover, you won't even find it a laborious activity, on the contrary, you'll love every minute of it.
Just like in a decorative plants garden, potted vegetables are the best option for you, especially because you live in an apartment and you can't grow vegetables in normal soil. You can choose different types of containers, according to the plant's dimensions.
For example, if you want to grow tomatoes, you won't place them in the same pot you would use for growing peas, let's say. So the container's dimensions is something you have to think about before planting the seeds.
Another thing that is important for your plants' health is making sure they receive enough light. The best thing you can do in this case is placing the potted plants somewhere in the sun, where they have enough light for the photosynthesis process.
Don't forget to keep your garden well organized, knowing exactly where everything is and trying to make it look like a garden, not like a jungle. I've said this before, so try to remember it because it's a key factor in your garden's organization.
There isn't much to say here, you can grow any vegetable you want as long as it's suitable for your climate.
Anyway, a very important thing when it comes to growing vegetables is the soil they have. As your garden is located on the balcony, the best soil in this case is a synthetic one, as it is made especially for potted plants.You can find synthetic soils in most gardening shops, so you don't have to worry about this aspect.
Also, make sure you water your plants every couple of days, if you could do it daily it would be even better, especially in the summer. If you live in a warmer climate, then watering your vegetables is very important, else you might see them starting to fade.
These aren't a very important part when it comes to a vegetables garden, because your main purpose is growing vegetables you can eat, not really having an impressively decorated garden.
However, if you want to add some decorative accents, you could go for some old wooden decorations, that will blend with your decor.
Anyway, you could actually choose anything as a decoration, so a good idea would be to look at all the useless items you have at home and take some on your balcony.
In this way, you'll have a well decorated vegetable garden.
3. Decorative green space garden
For those of you who really love nature and are really frustrated for having to stay inside, this type of balcony garden would be excellent. Your garden doesn't have a certain purpose, like growing plants for food or for ornamental purpose, it's just for having a space where you can simply enjoy nature.
This means that you have no limits when it comes to decorations and the plants you choose.
As there are no limits, you can place your plants anywhere you want, as long as you keep them well arranged. Try to make your garden look natural, but not too wild.
And by this I mean that you should maintain a certain order, simply letting your plants grow the way they want would give the impression of an abandoned place.
Once again, you can choose anything you want, the more different your plants are, the better. In your case, you could go for both decorative plants and small trees or shrubs. Of course that your choices should base on the climate you live in, but the good thing is that you have such a wide range to choose from.
Some of your plants could be placed in containers, others could be hanged so that they could grow free, as I said there are no certain rules, it's important to create a place you like and where you feel good.
This are a very important part of your project, so you have to pay a lot of attention to choose the right decorations. For example, if you have a lot of blooming plants, you will want to draw the attention on them, not on any artificial decoration.
On the other hand, if your garden mostly consists of herbs and green plants, extra decorations would be quite necessary for a more charming look. They don't have to be many and very large, this will only make your garden over crowded, it's important just to choose them well.
Butterfly ornaments, artificial flower arrangements, gardening crafts or painted old vases are just some ideas of decorations you could use, everything else is good as long as it matches the decor.
Whether you're seriously planning to create a garden on your balcony or you're just dreaming about it, these apartment balcony garden design ideas that you've just read will be a good source of inspiration for you, helping you create the green space you've always dreamed of, right in your apartment. 😀
An ornamental garden, a vegetable or even a decorative one would look great on a balcony, so if you've been thinking about this for a while, don't wait any longer and start creating your own balcony garden now! 😀
In case you need any suggestions or if you have any questions about this subject, please don't hesitate to contact me by writing a comment and I will gladly help you.
Meanwhile, I have a challenge for you. I'm trying to find out which is the best kind of garden for an apartment according to most people, because I want to write a more detailed article about it. I really need to find out different opinions, and a simple answer to my question would mean so much for me.
So which of the 3 types of garden would you like to have on your balcony?

~Chapter 1~
Who's that?
~Shasta P.O.V~
Hello there, my name is Shasta Slater, I live in L.A., and people always tell me I look like Angel Saffire. Before I go on, I must tell you that Angel Saffire is the biggest brat you will ever see in you entire life. Unfortunately, I got caught in a big mess involving her. It all started one day when I was at the mall with a close friend of mine, Lucy Julian.
"How bout this one Shas?†my best friend Lucy asked me, coming out of the dressing room beside me, with a cute sparkly pink, low cut dress on. We always came to the mall to try on dresses, every weekend. "That ones really cute.†I answered as she spun in a circle. She grinned at me, "Now if only a cute guy would think so.†I laughed, Lucy was always on the lookout for cute guys. I mean always. She would point out a few to me and I would laugh because I doubt any guy would go out with me. I had brown hair with lighter highlights, tan skin, and almost black eyes. Guys would look into my eyes and look like they'd been stuck in a black hole.
"Yeah, what do you think bout this one?†I asked her, looking at my dress in the mirror. It was black with neon green splattered on it, and a neon pink strap. I liked it, and I hoped Lucy did too. Her eyes lit up, "That one is soo hot!†I just smiled and shook my head. A little backround of my family, I had no family. That cared bout me at least. I lived in a crappy foster home for the past 12 years of my life, I was 16 now. I was just another older kid that would probably never get adopted, which I didn't have a problem with. I wasn't even sure why Lucy wanted to be my friend, until I actually got to know her. Her family was rich and she was the middle child, and her parents practically ignored her. We've been friends ever since.
"Lets go buy these and go eat.â€
I nodded, "Okay.†Lucy was paying for my dress since it was my b-day. Yes it was my birthday, June 25, but I didn't like to make a big deal outa it, so Lucy just always took me shopping and bought me anything she thought was cute. I didn't like her paying for all of it, but she said that that's the only thing that makes her parents notice her, is if she uses the money they make. We got our close on, and went to check out. That's when it happened. We were walking outa the store, and some dude in a suit bumped into me. "Watch where your going!†Lucy yelled at him, and helped me up. The man turned around and looked at me weirdly.
"What are you doing Angel? We have to get to the airport pronto!†he yelled at me, then grabbed my arm and started dragging me away. What does he think he's doing? Lucy had a confused look on her face as she sprinted after us. I shoved his arm away, "What are doing mister?†I asked glaring at him. He turned on me, "What do you m-" he stopped and looked me over. His face got confused as Lucy caught up to us. "Your not Angel are you?†he asked me, backing up a little to look at me. Lucy spoke up, "No she's not.†He looked at her, then looked back at me.
"Im sorry I didn't mean to drag you like that, its just… you look exactly like my client Angel-" I finished for him. "Saffire yeah, I get that a lot.†I didn't like It when people compared me to Angel. I hated her. His eyes got wide as he looked over my shoulder. "Angel? What are you doing?†he said angrily, going between us to head towards the girl sitting on the bench by the time square clock. The girl I'm guessing as Angel, glared at him, "I don't wanna go to the interview. The lady bugs me.†She spit out, crossing her arms. Me and Lucy were looking at both of them, confused. We looked at each other, "What are we supposed to do?†Lucy asked me, and I shrugged. "I don't know…†I trailed off when the man looked at me. He came over and drug Angel over with him. "Please forgive me for not introducing myself, I am Walter Mooning, Angel Saffire's manager. " he said with a smile and sticking out his hand to me. I shook it, "I'm Shasta Slater and this is my friend Lucy.†I said, motioning to Lucy who also shook his chubby hand. Angel cleared her throat, "And of course, I'm Angel Saffire, the worlds greatest singer ever.†She said holding out her hand. I laughed, "Don't you mean the world's greatest brat ever?†I said, and high fived Lucy, who was also laughing. Angel scowled, "Walter, we're leaving to somewhere where people appreciate my talents.†And tried to turn away but her manager grabbed her arm. His eyes lit up as he looked at me.
"Are you a good actor –Shasta was it?†he asked me, I nodded slowly, wondering where he was going with this. "Yeah…†I said, looking at Lucy and she was staring Angel down. He looked excited now, "I have a proposition for you. " Walter said mysteriously. Angel looked at him , just as confused as we were. I really didn't like where he was going with this. "What is it?†I asked, really curious now. Angel nodded, "Yeah Walter, what is it?†she repeated. That's what she was good at, coping people. Her only songs were ones she remade, and they sounded terrible. Walter grinned at us, "This is soo going to work.†Jeez just say it already!
"I want you to take Angel's place.â€
Did he just say what I think he said? Take her place? My eyes went wide as I looked at Lucy who looked like she was gunna explode with excitement. Why was she excited? Angel's eyes were practicly popping outa her head, and at the same time we said, "What?†we looked at each other not believing what her manager had just said. "I need you to take Angel's place for 5 months. Angel hasn't been cooperating lately and her career is going down the toilet because of her attitude. You could play the part, get her back on top, and then Angel can take over again.†He said as if he knew it would work. I shook my head, "No way dude.†I said, still shaking my head. I knew I shouldn't have got up this morning. His face fell, and so did Lucy's, "Give us a minute.†Lucy said, and took me by the arm, and lead me a couple of feet away. "Of course.†Walter said.
She looked at me like I was crazy, "What do you think your doing? This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for you, and your going to pass it up?†she said to me, disbelief in her eyes. "What do you want me to do Luc? I cant just leave for 5 months.†I thought for a second, I probably could, actually. Like the foster system would notice. I sighed, "You really want me to do it?†I asked, looking at her dead serious. She looked me in the eyes, and put her hands on my shoulders. "Yes, I really want you to do it.†I knew she wanted me to, I could see it in her eyes. I sighed, "Let me ask him something first.†I said and she nodded excitedly.
I went over to Walter and Angel, and Walter looked at me hopefully, "Will you do it?†he asked. I was screaming at my head not to but I did. "Yes.†He started smiling at me, "Yes!! This will put you back on-" I cut him off. Lucy had come up beside me. "What do I get in return?†I asked, I wasn't gunna just do it for free. Walter thought for a second, "How does $500,000 sound?†he asked me dead serious. i swear I popped a vain in my head. "500,000 dollars?!†i asked, not believing it. "Fine $600,000.†He said, getting out his checkbook. Wait what? "No I wasn't asking for more, I just couldn't belive you would give me that much.†I said, still surprised at the amount. He blushed little, "Oh I see, my bad, so $500,000 It is then?†I looked at Lucy and she nodded madly, "Yeah, that'll work.â€
"Your such a lifesaver you know that? I'm glad your doing this.†Angel spoke up, smiling evily at me for some reason. "That way you can do all the work and I can do nothing for 5 whole months!†she said excitedly. I frowned, "Whats the fun in doing nothing?†I asked, "I couldn't stand doing nothing for 5 months.†She just laughed at me, "Have fun Walter, she clearly doesn't know show biz.†I glared at her, and Walter handed me the check. Luckily Lucy read it, "Hey wait a minute, this only says $250,000. You said 500,000.†She argued, looking at Walter. "I will give the rest to her after 5 months,†he said, "It wouldn't be fair if I just gave her $500,000 and she took off, noe would it?†he said, looking at us as if saying 'don't you dare run'. I nodded, "Fair enough.†He smiled, "Okay so I need you to go pack, and get on the plane to San Francisco at 5 in the morning. I already have your ticket and I'll have a driver pick you up, and then we will start training you.†Wait, I looked at Lucy. I couldn't do this without her. "Wait, sir,†I started, he turned to look at me, "I was wondering if Lucy could come. I cant do this without her, and you wouldn't want someone running around knowing that Angel isn't the real Angel.†I threatened, hoping inside he would let her go. He thought for a second then looked at Lucy, who I knew was hoping just as much as I was. "Yes, that's true… we'll just say that shes your cousin or something.†Lucy hugged me and I smiled, "Thanks Walter.†I liked this guy already, and I was starting to plan what to tell the foster home. Angel looked angry, which I don't know why.
"Well then, Angel, I guess we will see you tomorrow! I'll need to get your phone number of course.†I took out my phone, and we gave each other our numbers. Lucy looked like she was gunna explode with excitement. "Don't explode Lucy.†I said smiling at her. She just grinned at me, "This is gunna be great.†She said to me, then looked at Walter, "Thank you soo much dude.†She said, and went up and hugged him. Walter looked surprised at first and awkwardly put his arms around her. I chuckled, that was one of the reasons I loved Lucy. She was very loving and forgiving. She let go and Walter looked at the clock. "Well we better get going. I will see you at 4:30 tomorrow morning, I'll need you to text me your address tonight.†I nodded, "See you.†I said as they walked away.
I turned to Lucy, "What did I just get myself into?†I asked her, trying to understand what I just did. Lucy grinned at me, "You better go quit your job, and start packing!†was all she said, and she hugged me tightly. I smiled, but I was thinking hard.
What did I just agree to?

Due to the rising cost of oil the tar sands in Canada are now considered a go and have been included in the lastest estimates. These estimates raised Canada's 4.9 billion barrels of oil to 175 billion barrels of oil. Compare that to Iraqs 112 and Saudi Arabia's 264.
However, there are some things that can throw a wrench into this. One is the price per barrel of oil. For this year we are likely to see no lower than $50 per barrel. At this price this is still viable. However, when oil starts to drop more steadily, this process will be too expensive. Plus we will not see a ramping up of production over night, it will take several years and to expect oil to remain that high for that long is not reasonable. Grabbing the oil from the sands puts more carbon monoxide out there and remember that Canada signed onto Kyoto. This could have a big impact on the price per barrel of oil coming out of Canada. 20 to 40 cents now is not that big of a deal but what happens several years from now if oil is selling at $30 a barrel? There will come a point where the market will not absorb the additional cost.

South Indian actress Asin has got herself transformed into a different missy over there. Looks like, the hotties Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif have just made her jealous and now she has started trying out their same looks.
It was shocking to see that Asin posed naked covering her front with merely a towel. As well she started appearing in short skirts (looks awkward) in public events.
Well, that's not the issue now. It's all about Salman Khan and Asin involved in a big clash. Both of them maintained a good relationship and now things aren't doing well about them. Asin keeps avoiding the promotional events of 'London Dreams' wherever Salman Khan is present.
