Book review: Pushkin Hills, By Sergei Dovlatov Alma
Boyd Tonkin
Boyd Tonkin is Literary Editor at The Independent. An award-winning journalist, he was formerly Social Policy Editor of the New Statesman and has broadcast extensively for BBC arts and current affairs programmes. He has judged the Booker Prize, the Whitbread biography award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the David Cohen Prize for a lifetime's achievement in literature.
Friday 11 October 2013
Uproarious, reckless, zany, Sergei Dovlatov (who died in American exile in 1990) belonged to the last generation of dissident authors in the doomed USSR.
In this short, breakneck novel, a sort of pitch-black literary farce, the alcoholic writer Boris Alikhanov takes a tour-guide job on Pushkin's country estate.
Vodka-fuelled mishaps, grotesque comic cameos and – above all – quick-fire dialogue that swings and stings propel this furious twilight romp (translated by the author's daughter Katherine) from the final days of Soviet power.

Hitting the jackpot with wind energy in Poland
"We feel like we've won the lottery."
Mirosława and Mieczysław Horodiuk sit on a couch in their living room, their aged cat stares through the window. Here in Kończewo in north western Poland a late spring snow has fallen, delaying the spring planting for this farming family. They rest easy knowing that summer will come and they now have a guaranteed income.
10 years ago a wind energy developer approached the Horodiuk family to rent part of their farmland for a wind turbine. They were sceptical about this opportunity. It would have been difficult for them to agree if they were on their own, but they had support.
The citizens of Kobylnica had been prepared for such an event. Leszek Kuliński, mayor of Kobylnica, became interested in wind turbines while on holiday in Denmark. (His wife complained that 80% of the photographs he took were of wind turbines.) Leszek wanted to bring this industry to Kobylnica. He travelled to Germany to research and to investigate if it was safe for the community. He returned determined to make his commune attractive to wind energy developers.

Making any kind of change in the way you live your daily life is like being on a path. The path leads to success. Here are the first steps on that path:
Your reason for healthy eating is really important. Don't do it just because your spouse, friend, or someone else wants you to. What makes you want to change how you eat?
Do you:
Whatever your reason, you may already know what areas you want to work on. Maybe you want to cut back on high-fat snacks or eat more high-fiber foods.
If you aren't sure where to start, keeping a food diary (What is a PDF document?) can help. For a week or two, write down everything you eat. It will help you see which foods you need to eat more of and which foods you're eating too much of. Then compare what you are eating to the food-serving recommendations from the USDA food guide.
Ask yourself if you feel ready to begin taking steps toward big goals. If you're not ready yet, try to pick a date when you will start making small changes. Any healthy change—no matter how small—is a good start.
When you are clear about your reasons for wanting to make a change, it's time to set your goals.
One Woman's Story:
"I didn't try to completely redo my whole diet. I focused on things that seemed reasonable at the time."—Dawn
Read more about how Dawn set goals.
It's perfectly normal to try to change a habit, go along fine for a while, and then have a setback. Lots of people try and try again before they reach their goals.
What are the things that might cause a setback for you? If you've tried to make lifestyle changes before, think about what helped you and what got in your way.
By thinking about these barriers now, you'll be better prepared to deal with them if they happen.
"It takes a lot of time to prepare vegetables."
"Fruits and vegetables are expensive."
"I eat out a lot at restaurants."
Use your personal action plan (What is a PDF document?) to write down your barriers and backup plans.
One Man's Story:
"I know the things that I like to eat, like baked goods, cookies, and stuff like that. I know that I'm never going to stop liking those."—Jeremy
Read more about how Jeremy avoids getting discouraged by setbacks.
The more support you have for eating healthier, the easier it is to make the change.
You can use your personal action plan (What is a PDF document?) to organize your support system.
"It does help to have partners and buddies that are going through this."—Loralie
Read more about how Loralie got the support of her family and friends.
Keeping track of your progress helps you see how far you've come. It can help motivate you to do more and help encourage you when you get off track.

Rex Healthcare gets go-ahead on Holly Springs, NC, center
Raleigh News & Observer, September 5, 2008
Rex Healthcare has announced that it won approval from state regulators to build a 9,000-square-foot outpatient care center in Holly Springs, NC. The proposed facility initially was rejected by regulators, but Rex appealed that ruling and provided more information about the geographical area the center would serve. The facility will offer urgent care and basic lab, occupational health and radiology services, including digital bone mammography and bone density screenings. Construction is projected to be completed by the end of 2010.

Even among the rather specialized genre of stoner comedies, 30 Minutes or Less isn't exactly the cream of the crop. And arguably, after the movie's opening scene, it adopts a more slacker than stoner vibe. But the problems with the film, which are myriad, are mostly masked by an eclectic and naturally funny cast that punches above the script's weight class. Ultimately, 30 Minutes or Less is a theatrical release more suited for viewing at home with a favorite beverage close at hand.... read more

Devastating Tan.
All this time, he pushed his overwhelming affection towards Eun Sang, thinking Eun Sang has no feelings for him. "Because Tan is good looking." "I'm happy that you're here." "I miss you, can't you stay longer?" "Can you not leave me?" "I missed you…" these things Tan have been telling Eun Sang so shamelessly, because he wants to show Eun Sang his sincere heart. All Tan yearn for is for Eun Sang to allow him into her heart, "I wish they would miss me, feel lonely when I'm not there even if it's just for a moment;" what Tan wanted from his family, but have never gotten; Tan wants Eun Sang to miss him when he's not there next to her.
Eun Sang does, Tan doesn't know.
Tan is willing to sacrifice everything he can for Eun Sang right now. Talking back to his dad, defying the Chairwoman's orders at school, even fighting with Young Do when he just wanted to graduate high school quietly and peacefully. All this time, Tan thought the only thing he need is Eun Sang's hand and they can hold on tight and go against the world, even with all odds against them. Call it immature stupid young love, that's what Tan earnestly hope for.
Until now, she finally admit that she likes him too, but she doesn't want to try, Tan's single hope in life went crashing down. Everything, every hope, every dream that came out of that very dream catcher had been taken away from him.
Eun Sang said those words "No one knows about your family situation right? You can't protect me, try to protect yourself," to hurt Tan on purpose, to make him give up on her, Eun Sang at some point probably thinks Tan is the Chaebol's son who is bored with his late teen life and is trying to rebel. You can blame Eun Sang for not wanting to be the outlet for Tan's rebellion, while you can't blame Tan for trying to catch a ray of sunshine that is Eun Sang after being in the cloudily endless road he had been walking on since the day after he was born.
For the first time, Tan had no remark to Eun Sang's words; he had no comforting words for Eun Sang, no joke to make her feel better. He had been hurt again, by the very person he never hope to be hurt by.
For the first time, Tan walked away from Eun Sang.
For the first time, Eun Sang cried for Tan quietly….

Clean Green Carpets' IICRC-certified technicians go about their work with hot steam extraction and Procyon's eco-friendly cleaning solution. Procyon doesn't have any odors, VOCs, toxins, or harsh cleaning chemicals, making it safe for the whole family, including furry friends such as Robin Williams. And because it's soap-free, it doesn't leave behind a sticky residue that attracts more dirt and grime immediately after a cleaning.
To ensure a thorough job, the technicians use a seven-step process that starts with a walk through, a vacuum, and a pre-spray. Then comes a deep cleaning and a hot steam extraction that's low in moisture to allow for faster drying. Finally, it's time to apply protectant, groom the carpet, and step back to celebrate the downfall of pet odors and allergy-causing dust mites.
Color Me Mine is a "paint-it-yourself" ceramic studio which is a fun and fresh idea that appeals to everyone. Whether you're planning a BIRTHDAY PARTY, a FUNDRAISING EVENT, an OFFICE EVENT, GIRLS' NIGHT OUT, any SPECIAL EVENT or just looking for a UNIQUE GIFT, CREATIVE OUTLET or some QUALITY TIME with a loved one!
At Petals by Cary, designer Cary Li fashions creative floral arrangements for all occasions. Amid the studio's pistachio walls and honeycombed shelves, smooth glass vases and adorable pots come alive with traditional compositions of long-stemmed roses or inventive designs of orchard-fresh apples and shredded pages of the Farmers' Almanac. Heart-shaped wreaths mark anniversaries and weddings, and centerpieces grace tables with the sweet-smelling presence of flowers sprouting from baskets, coffee mugs, and champagne wraps.
Underneath the stately stained-glass dome of the 1910 Old County Courthouse, tourists, locals, and history buffs stuff their brains with knowledge from interactive kiosks and thousands of books and primary sources about San Mateo County. Hands-on school programs and a wealth of exhibits educate visitors on particular aspects of the region's heritage, including the natural resources that enrich the shores and forests, and the waves of pioneers who turned local raw materials into ax handles, salted hams, and maple candy. The museum's curators and archivists pride themselves on their professionalism, nabbing a coveted accreditation by the American Association of Museums, an honor claimed by only a small percentage of the nation's museums and none of the nation's dry cleaners.
Bay Property Services' team of licensed and insured professionals pride themselves on quick, efficient, and affordable service for residential and commercial properties. Whether readying homes for sale or impromptu visits from the royal family, they arrive promptly for home care, home maintenance, cleaning services, handyman services, and landscaping.

Thoughts From The 2012 TVOT Conference: Where Are The Marketers?
Posted by David Cooperstein on December 6, 2011
Yesterday, Researcher Mike Glantz on my team attended the TV of Tomorrow (TVOT) conference in New York City. Practically from the conference floor, here is what he had to say:
"The conference was a packed house of technology vendors, data providers, advertising agencies, multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), and TV networks all discussing their collective vision for the future for TV as we know it. I wasn't able to catch all the panels, but some key themes I noted from the ones I was able to attend:
- Multitasking has changed how TV is measured. Measurement companies like Nielsen, Comscore, and Rentrak are fully aware of how consumers are multitasking with laptops, smartphones, and tablets and the additive effects multitasking has on TV watching. All three are taking steps to build single-source measurement panels that can accurately track cross-platform media exposure. On the startup side, companies like Bluefin Labs and Trendrr showed some of the ways they are tapping into social media data to uncover cross-platform engagement for TV shows.
- Technology companies and TV programmers are ready to engage their audiences on second screens. I was continually impressed by announcements and demos from Shazam, Ensequence, Zeitera, and TVplus that showed how mobile applications (and soon TV themselves) can seamlessly sync to TV shows and instantaneously provide additional show content and co-branded ads.
- The TV industry no longer fears the DVR. Despite rises in time-shifted viewing, many TV executives are bullish on the potential for effective advertising during time-shifted programming. Although the market for such ads is still immature and nascent, companies like Black Arrow and Canoe Ventures are focused on enabling dynamic ad insertion (DAI) that would allow marketers to target ads within DVRs. Many panelists were also excited about the intersection of social media and TV and social media's ability to enhance appointment-based TV. Mediabrands CEO, Matt Seiler, was quick to dismiss his own prediction that DVRs would kill the watercooler and said that social media has created new digital watercoolers that people use to engage with friends wherever they are.
- The jury is still out on who owns the planning and buying of over-the-top (OTT) video ads. In the "wild west" of connected TV advertising, panelists disagreed on the need for standards across vendors, marketplace consolidation, and which side of the media agency should be responsible for planning connected TV campaigns. Ashley Swartz, leader of ITV at Digitas, eloquently argued for digital media agencies to handle connected TV ads, since they have the planning, trafficking, and analytics expertise control needed to run connected TV ads. However, others felt that connected TV ads, by their very nature and device, should be run by TV agencies with larger budgets.
- But where were the marketers? For all the excitement, innovation, and predictions made about the future of TV advertising at the TVOT conference, I heard very little from the actual marketers and advertisers that will be necessary to fund TV's coming interactive Renaissance. Make no mistake, at Forrester we are very bullish on changes coming to TV in audience measurement, social TV, and integrated media planning (client access only), but I wished there were more marketers at the TVOT conference willing to share their success stories. Right now, many marketers are still experimenting with new innovations in TV and are unsure of how to leverage new TV advertising technologies to optimize their media mix, target audiences more efficiently, and engage viewers on the second screen. As consumer behavior continues to shift and adoption of new devices accelerates, will 2012 be the year that advanced TV gains traction with mainstream marketers?"
Are you a marketer experimenting with advanced TV ads around connected devices or second screens? We'd love to hear more about your plans, here or in The Forrester Community For CMO & Marketing Leadership Professionals. Kudos to Tracy Swedlow and the entire InteractiveTV Today team for putting on such an informative and exciting conference.

Notre Dame came into Thursday night's game against Cincinnati "poor and hungry," according to Irish coach Mike Brey.
After an 83-65 victory over the Bearcats, the Irish are no longer hungry.
"We were starving for this win," Irish forward Tyrone Nash said. "It was a great win. We just need to try to keep this going."
Notre Dame (16-7, 5-5 Big East) may not be hunger, but at .500, the Irish are still "poor" in the league.
The Irish are bunched with six teams hovering at or a game over or under .500.
Notre Dame's spot in the league and the need for more quality wins to reach the NCAA tournament has turned up the intensity for each game.
And while the Irish are going into every game with the exhausting mentality that it is a must win and their backs are against the wall, Nash said the team can handle it.
"It is tough, but we are tough mentally," Nash said. "Guys have tough mentalities here. We are capable of doing that. If we just stay focused, keep that physical edge in practice, it will show in the games."

If your site is heavily focused on advertising and PPC schemes then a high bounce rate would be good, most people who bounce would probably have done so through an ad click. However, think about the long tem affects of bounce rate. A bounced user probably didnt rate your site very highly, meaning they're less likely to blog about it, link to it etc.. A quick win is almost always a short lived one. To sum it up, bounce rate means different things to different people. Personally i think it counts alot
Bounce rate is an interesting topic.

Sighting Details
My family an I were eating on Market Street in Meeker, CO. We were seated on a table outside of a Chinese food restaurant when I (Don) saw a glowing orange/white object emerge from behind a grove of trees about 300 yards away. I noticed it first because it appeared to be flying very slowly and with no noise or nav lights. I thought it might have been a plane or a balloon but since I spent a career in aviation and my son is at the United States Air Force Academy (and had the object in his field glasses the entire time). It appeared and moved slowly from right to left at about 15-20 degrees above the tree line and was moving upward to the west and south as it gained altitude. It moved up, hovered, moved left then right, and began moving off to the south. Others reported it in Meeker to the local police department and I have the officer's name. Having seen an object before and having an inherent interest in aviation, I knew this object was under some sort of control but had no typical general or military aviation characteristics. We all felt very surprised that we could not make sense of the object. No noise, no nav lights, and a strange shape and glow left us all a bit unnerved. We lost sight of it as it abruptly lost it's lights but my son who had it in his filed glasses, could see that the object was then black and spherical, about ten meters in diameter and continued to move to the south without lights of any kind until we lost it towards the horizon or somewhere in that area. Multiple observers and witnesses in town, 6 there at the site. |

By now you've seen the video of Paula Abdul's wacky appearance on a Seattle morning news show (click here if you haven't), where she was promoting tomorrow's premiere of "American Idol." Paula's reps chalked up her odd behavior to "technical problems." Now Fox has issued a statement standing behind their Laker girl.
"All of us at Fox have tremendous respect and admiration for Paula Abdul," the statement reads. "She is a consummate professional who always gives 100% to everything she does. Last week, during a satellite press tour there were intermittent technical difficulties, including severe audio issues in which multiple stations were speaking to her at once.
"Rather than getting angry about these difficulties, or stopping the tour, Paula forged ahead and decided to have fun with the increasingly challenging situation. Unfortunately, because reporters and viewers were unaware of the situation, her humor was misconstrued."
No way are we buying it. She was on something. Her lips seemed numb like she couldn't feel them, she bobbed around, practically laid her head down on her shoulder during the interview. We are not buying it! I will always know that Pauls was on something in that interview. We're lucky to get her sober for AI.
How stupid does Fox think the public is? She was plowed - so what? It's not THAT big a deal! Danny DeVito got away with it, why can't Paula? We're more forgiving than they may think....
Oh puleeeze!!!! When are Fox and her stupid publicist going to stop defending her and making excuses for her? There were no "technical difficulties." Maybe "Tequila difficulties," but nothing that the TV stations or reporters could be faulted on.
Paula was drunk, but today on Regis and Kelly's show...she may not have been drunk but she was figity and overly aware of herself. Something is up with this chick. And she is sooooo in love with Simon it makes me sick. Disrespectful to Terry Seymour too. Simon is like a dwarfed kid that never grew up mentally or physically.
This is sheep shit and your know it. Tell us anything, just don't lie your like a rug. Integrity is never been apart of the media and Hollyweird, we know what we saw and technical Difficulty was not that. Paula was either drunk or had taken some pill and was hammered out of her mind. STOP THE DAMN LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't these people just tell the thruth? You gotta be drunk to be on American Idol.
Shes just like Danny Divito, a big fat liar.
correction: not Simon...I meant Paula is like a dwarfed child that never grew up mentally or physically.
p.s. and you people need to stop picking on me.

Exercise is good for the body and can be good for the soul. Experts tell us that we should exercise regularly. It takes at least 20 minutes of cardio exercise to give our hearts a good work out. If this is done regularly, it can get boring, unless you have some type of strategy to overcome boredom. This can be done in different ways, like through varying your routine and trying new things. However, what do you do with your mind while you exercise? This list hopes to give you some ideas to get healthy spiritually as well as physically.
Exercise time does to need to be wasted time mentally or spiritually, but we can exercise, defeat boredom and grow spiritually at the same time. Try one of these ideas during your next workout!
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." – Colossians 3:15-17

I can't say enough about the Good Life or the owners. The cottage is gorgeous, clean, and spacious. The owner was there to help let us in and made it known available if we needed him. We had a large group of 9 to celebrate my dad's birthday, and we all fit comfortably for sleeping and the celebration. It is beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. The outdoor patios make you feel like you're in a completely different state - very peaceful and relaxing. I definitely plan to come again - I think it would be a fantastic place to stay any time of year!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We recently had 3 couples and a single family member spend the week in this charming house. The house was beautifully furnished, including a great kitchen, beach chairs, beach towels, large gas grill and a beautiful screened porch that was an added bonus. It was an extremely hot week, but the house had excellent air conditioning and ceiling fans. We were extremely comfortable the entire week. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out and enjoy our individual space as well as eat together. Great places to walk and a very short distance to gorgeous beach! Would return "in a heart beat"!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We're a group of 7 women who have been friends for more than 30 years, yet we live all over the country. We had such a beautiful reunion at this home in Union Pier. There were so many great spots to relax and enjoy conversation...the screened-in porch, the living room, the sunny deck in the backyard, and the sun porch. The fully-equipped kitchen made for easy meal prep, with a full assortment of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and appliances. The bathrooms were beautifully updated, and because there were 3, we never had to wait in line. Each bed was very comfy with nice linens,and the central air conditioning kept the house very comfortable during the 90-degree temperatures. The beach is .6 of a mile down the road, and the ice cream shop is even closer! We were able to easily walk to the beach several times during our short stay. The beach was clean and provided a great place to walk.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

This home provides the perfect location and the home itself is so well designed, well appointed and beautifully furnished. The three full baths made getting ready with a group a breeze and the sound proofing of the home itself was wonderful. The screened in porch was an absolute favorite of all of ours, and many breakfasts were eaten there and books were read there while listening to the sounds of nature all around. The proximity to assorted gelato flavors was a little too convenient : ), and I don't think my family and I missed a single night of enjoying this taste of Italy! Thank goodness for the short walk that gave us a bit of exercise! You will not be disappointed in renting this beautiful home.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

The women in our family travel every year to different locations, and this one was by far the best. Our group ranges in age from 2 1/2 to 65, so it can be difficult to find a place to fit everyone's needs. We live in Indiana so the drive was short and house was easily found. The floorplan was perfect for us...One bedroom downstairs (my grandmother doesn't do stairs well), 3 bedrooms upstairs (including master), and 3 full baths. With 8 females the bathrooms were wonderful! Location is close to small convenience shops (Bud and Elsie's) and a short drive (approx 10 min) to public beach and shops (New Buffalo). There was a beach access at the end of the road (2 min drive, 10 min walk) but there were steep stairs and not everyone in our party could easily go up and down. We visited winery tasting rooms (walking distance), rented bikes at Outpost Sports in New Buffalo, and enjoyed the live music at the Stray Dog (New Buffalo). There was also a traveling outdoor market at Skip's one day that we enjoyed visiting. Local artists and crafts as well as local food (Whoopie Pies were our favorite!) We spent many evenings on the screened in porch and cooked meals in the kitchen and on the grill on the back deck. Parking was not an issue and we could easily get in and out of the driveway. The house is located in a quiet area, just off the the main road (Red Arrow Highway). You can hear the train but it was not bothersome to my neice (2 1/2 years old). Overall we had a wonderful time and would recommend to others!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

The home worked out great for our Holiday gathering. Typically people think of Harbor Country for the summer but we enjoy the fall there too. We had a great Thanksgiving gathering. The weaher was warm so the screened porch and back deck drew evryone outside. It was an easy walk to Bud & Elsie's for the forgotten ingredients and to grab more wine! With the rgeat weather daily walks to to the beach a ritual. This home was comfortable and well appointed. I would highly recommend it to friends and family. We'll be back for more good times in the summer.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Legion boss quits after boast over arms deals
Related Articles
Published: 15 October 2012
The Royal British Legion's president quit today after making "exaggerated and foolish claims" about his ability to help secure lucrative contracts for arms firms.
Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely stood down after being caught in a sting by a Sunday newspaper.
He was one of six former top brass filmed in talks with reporters posing as representatives of a South Korean weapons manufacturer seeking to recruit them to help sell "drone" aircraft to the UK Government.
The Sunday Times alleged that Sir John, a Falklands hero and former head of the Defence Academy, had suggested he could use his role as the legion's president to promote his clients' agenda with key figures, including at Remembrance Day events.
In his resignation letter to the legion's chairman John Farmer, Sir John insisted he had kept his role as national president of the legion "completely separate" from his business interests.
He added that he had "never used any access gained as president to raise the subject of, or discuss, any business interests whatsoever, let alone to make representations on behalf of clients".
"I have made it equally clear that I have never breached any Government rules related to lobbying," he said.
"But I made exaggerated and foolish claims to the contrary, incompatible with my position in the legion."
Sir John was due to step down as president in December.
The legion has launched a probe into the newspaper revelations.
Chris Simpkins, its director general, praised Sir John's commitment to its work and said his words, which were secretly filmed, were "out of character".
But he added: "The legion's work, including Remembrance events, must be kept free of any suggestion that they could be used for commercial or political gain. Sir John's remarks suggested otherwise."
He said that he was satisfied that no breach of the legion's code of conduct had actually happened.
All six ex-defence chiefs deny breaking any rules and insist they had the best interests of the military at heart.
The Standard has been told that a Ministry of Defence inquiry into the row should investigate whether middle-ranking and junior ex-officers are helping firms win lucrative contracts.
A senior military source said: "This has exposed folly not scandal. It's people trying to impress and name-dropping going on here."
He said the particular concern is that more junior officers who have worked on defence projects leave the MoD for the private sector. They can take with them information which could give their new employer an advantage.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond signalled that ex-military chiefs could be barred from contact with ministers and MoD officials. But he said he was satisfied that "robust" procedures were in place to ensure procurement decisions could not be influenced.

Re: Do you believe in aliens from other planets?
I live in Centerville. Not close to where this sighting was, but I am extremely familiar with this location. It is about a mile from where I grew up, and where my parent's currently live. What I don't get is: The Centerville Fire Department is directly across the street from Stingley Elementary. Why would they have to be dispatched? All they would have had to do was open the garage bay doors and walk out into the "driveway" to view it. They should have seen it from the fire house without even opening the door. I would have to believe that if residents near the "field" or playground of Stingley were effected, the Fire Station would have been effected as well. That part, I don't understand at all.

Orphans are characters seen in Alice: Madness Returns. They are seen in London and are specifically important elements to the main story.
History Edit
Alice: Madness Returns Edit
Orphans are children who live in Dr. Angus Bumby's orphanage, Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth. Here, they are broken down mentally to become Bumby's slaves for his sexual nature and desire as well as prostitutes for many of London's perverts and pedophiles.
Alice Liddell, however, in a similar situation to Bumby's hypnosis of making children forget the past and was supposed to become another mindless sex slave, is usually lost in Wonderland to realize what is actually going on and the damage he has caused throughout the game and in the past.
Trivia Edit
- The Wonderland counterparts of the Orphans are the Insane Children of Wonderland, who have suffered at the hands of Dr. Bumby's own counterpart, the Dollmaker.
- In an alley near Houndsdich, there are two orphans dressed up very much like the Mad Hatter and Alice.
- One Orphan can be found at the beginning of the game singing the Dream man open, referring to him as the "Sandman." The child is in a catatonic state similar to how Alice was in the asylum, facing a wall and ignoring interaction.

Evie Prichard
EVIE PRICHARD needs to be less like her breasts.
Philosophy, Clare The large numbers of people now able to recognise Evie when she goes out may have made the life of this prosopagnosiac extremely difficult, but her commitment to The Tab has taken her all the way from America to the open-mic stage. She enjoys the lyrical whimsy of David Bowie and believes in the redeeming power of true love.

On behalf of the Government of Canada, I would like to offer my thanks and best wishes to Dan. His dedication to WinSport over the past several years has been integral to providing some of the key elements of support and opportunities that are needed for Canada's athletes to succeed on the world stage.

enough talk about seafood right?
how is everyone today? i'm fab – thanks for asking! deej and i had a lovely day in the city (that's a story for another day) and right now i'm chilling out with the housewives of nyc (wishing i was a housewife of NY) and ready to talk about treadmills & trader joe's today
want to? let's do it
as i said before – i've begged re-hired my dear friend and trainer tara to take me back – i'm on week 2 of her 6 week lifting program and i'm still in love with her
currently i'm lifting 4 days a week (2 upper & 2 lower) i'm also incorporating some treadmill sprints/stairmill HIIT 3 times a week & one day of incline walking for about 45 minutes at 15%
saturday AM i did a fantastical treadmill workout and i just need to share it with you!
a couple of weeks ago i spotted this treadmill workout pinned from jess at blonde ponytail on pinterest & quickly dropped it in my 'fitfluential bucket list' board – fully knowing i could cross this off my bucket list asap
i altered it a little bit – but totally got on board with how much fun it was and made the three miles fly by. here's mine:
- 6 rounds – run .5 mile
- 10 burpees
- 20 mountain climbers
- 10 pushups
- 15 elbow-to-knee
- 45 second plank
each .5 mile i increased the speed going from 6.5mph (to start out) and got up to 7.5. the last 1/2 mile i was really pushing myself! i ended with 5 minutes of cool down walking and then some stretching
i can't wait to do it again!
something tara also has me doing is drinking a post workout shake (of just protein & water) immediately after my workout – then about 30-45 minutes later i'm eating a real breakfast (eggs & oat bran – or something along those lines) – my stomach seems to freak out anytime i drink whey so i've been on the hunt for a good stomach-friendly protein powder
even though it's a bit pricey i decided to take the plunge and purchase a jug of vegasport protein – i've heard fantastic things about it so i figured hey why not right?
right. it's amazing. i'm officially a vega convert – i had it this morning post upper body & stairmill HIIT & loved every minute of guzzlage
shake shake shake and guzzle. i had no problem mixing it (just by shaking and wireball-less) and the powder dissolved completely! it was delicious refreshing & easy on the tum!
moving on.
after our day in the city deej & i hit the new TJs (yes that officially makes 4 trader joe's within 20 minutes from my house ::insert jealousy::)
the goodies today:
- all natural pre-sliced & individually wrapped chicken breasts
- 96% lean ground beef (i smell cinnamon chipotle sliders in my future)
- unsweetened almond milk
- cubed butternut squash
- tjs hot salsa (2 – for my brother – he's obsessed)
- sweet potatoes
- broccoli
- brussels sprouts
- walnuts
- spinach
- toasted oat bran
- lemons
- cucumbers
- & eggs!
this was actually my first time buying the individually wrapped chicken breasts – yes i think they're a little overpriced but i when i usually buy the larger package (not individually wrapped) i end up wasting 2-3 breasts by not using them all. at least i know which these i will only take out the amount i'm sure i will use
the beef on the underhand i consume wholly & let none go to waste – plus i think it's a fantastic price for extra lean ground beef. i'm officially a carnivore.
as we speak i've got butternut squash & sweet tater moons roasting in the oven in cinnamon & brussels roasting in chili powder & nooch
lemons & almond milk are currently being mixed (along with dijon mustard, nutritional yeast & stevia) to make my new favorite salad dressing obsession inspired by laura
eggs for the obvious, cukes for the snacks & walnuts as my new favorite salad toppper
nothing too crazy just some of the basics – you know how it goes
clocked in at just under $60 – definitely a higher price due to the chicken breasts & walnuts which aren't always weekly staples - still not too shabby!
enough talk about food – time to grub boi.
love to love you <3

Many Top Level riders I've had the priveledge of riding under in Clinics all stress that bits do not solve problems, but proper education, riding and training does.
If all your horse is, is is heavy on the forehand - then there are holes in your education and your horses. The Waterford teaches you nothing, nor your horse - I guarantee you, you take that bit out of his mouth and he will be heavy on his forehand, yet again.
I'm not going to argue with you on the Waterford bit. I stand hard on my beliefs with that bit, and that bit is not meant for everyday riding - ESPECIALLY if you do dressage. And especially if your horse does not need it.

Re: Tate V Ward
Kubiak has a strong tendency to favor vets with experience. He's not going to entrust his QB's health and wellfare to Tate's blocking, so that will limit how much Tate will be on the field. He will play some, though. |

Tates blitz pick up wasnt bad at all .... He will see plenty of action , I wouldnt be surprised if he started in place of Foster against the Dolts if Foster isnt ready to go.

I think Ward will start & have a good game. Ben will also play and earn a start in the future.

Re: Tate V Ward
depends on who you have to dump to make room for him on your team. Even with a healthy Foster, Ward's going to get his share of carries. So he's worth a very late pickup

Ward would start but you can bet your bottom dollar that Tate will get serious burn early on and Kubiak will ride the hot hand.

Re: Tate V Ward
If Foster doesn't start, I'd bet Ward would get the early nod. Until Tate can prove he can block and catch in real gametime conditions, Ward will always get the start in situations like this. Ward's a darn good RB, Tate just has more talent.

I'm a huge Tate supporter. Talent wise he might be our best RB; he sure was in college. It's going to be great watching FTW play this year.

I'm hoping that Slaton is out of here, if Dickerson is gone then why not Slaton.
Ward/Tate, I'm guessing 2/3 Ward, 1/3 Tate.

SS has enough history to show he might be a contributor. There has been enough time to cut him or buy him out. I think Smithiak is hoping he will getgg on field eventually and maybe produce.

Re: Tate V Ward
I think the percentage of plays Tate is on will be tied directly to the scoreboard. If we're behind and passing a lot, I expect to see a lot more of Ward. Freeny and Mathis teeing off against basically a rookie is scary enough. Throw in blitzes and it gets worse. Hopefully, we'll be so far ahead that we're the ones teeing off on whoever starts as QB for the Colts.

Re: Tate V Ward
That was the point I was about to make. I would also expect Tate to get his touches between the 20's, and Ward to get the ball when avoiding turnovers is most crucial.

Re: Tate V Ward
Yea i think if Foster is out week 1 Ward will get the start but it will be a RB by committee. Ward will get around 15-20 touches while Tate will get around 10-15 touches all depending on who has the hot hand, how successful we are running the ball, and the score. Tate will most likely get his touches on first or second downs and between the 20's like Lucky said. Ward is a vet and Kubs will trust him more at the GL and during protection packages. I wouldnt be surprised if on 4 WR sets (either 3 WR and OD or 4 WR) to see Casey as the lone back because he is a solid blocker as well as a solid receiver out of the backfield

Re: Tate V Ward
I think tate will get the majority of the carries he has outplayed ward during preseason. besides we all know this hammy will cause foster problems probably all year long especially with his running style.

Elizabeth O'Bagy, who was paid by the British and US government to provide propaganda favorable to the Islamists fighting in Syria has apparently committed perjury in the trial of American Eric Harroun, who was accused of fighting alongside al-Nusra in Syria., an Al Qaeda linked group. O'Bagy submitted an affidavit that his group was not Islamist.Until recently, their web site included a picture of the US Capitol in flames.
O'Bagy was fired this week from her day job for lying about having a doctorate from Georgetown University. No mention of her job with the British and American governments. O'Bagy wrote an oped for the Wall Street Journal, that has been used to justify an attack on Syria, even though they have no proof that Assad ordered the sarin attack or even if anyone within the government did.
O'Bagy works for the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a government sponsored entity that also pays for lobbying of our congress...on our dime. Basically, they are a propaganda organization. Their job is to show the terrorists in the best possible light. Both John McCain and John Kerry have quoted O'Bagy in an effort to justify US intervention. Detractors say that would have the US military aiding Al Qaeda as they did in Libya.
A report by NBC News', Robert Windrem, shows 8 photos from the web site of "Al-Aqsa Islamic Brigades" One of the pictures depicts armed arab fighters carrying guns, as the US Capitol Building burns in the background. That Facebook page has been removed. Two of the other pictures displayed the Al Qaeda flag prominantly.
According to the NBC report, 50% of all rebels are now affiliated with Islamic terrorist groups. The Obama administration has not named them a terrorist organization, despite the fact they are linked to Jabhat al-Nusra, one of two rebel groups described as terrorist groups fighting in Syria.
Evan Kohlmann, a senior partner with the security firm Flashpoint Intelligence, said:
"As a group that claims affiliation to the generally pro-Western Free Syrian Army, it is difficult to reconcile the fact that it has plastered such a lurid anti-American image as the banner on its own official Facebook page. It raises the unfortunate but inescapable fact that not every group within the Free Syrian Army is closely aligned with U.S. interests in the region."
Secretary of State, John Kerry, testified before congress that the actual percentage of Islamic fighter is between 15% and 25%. But Defense officials have pegged that number at 50% or higher. Here are a couple of videos that were made by the group.
