There was a silonce of some minutes, during which tho eyes of Mario and tho young man met often. Somo strango and novel sensation was certainly passing through tho young girl's heart, for her face, ordinarily so pale, had become suffused with a roseate tinge; her demeanor, before so calm and tranquil, was embarrassed and confused; a scarcely perceptible emotion seemed to havo taken possession of her wholo being.

At, this moment two knocks were heard on the outer door, and the. hands of the innkeeper and his comrade were suddenly arrested in the very act of lifting their glasses to their lips. Marie gave a nervous start that almost caused hor to leap out of her chair. "Wlio can it bo at such an hour of thenight?" saidEbrard. "Itis no traveler, unless the diligence is greatly behind timo ; and besides—" Two knocks, moro violent than before, resounded through tho kitchen. The landlord roso uneasily, took a lamp, crossed- the passage that led to tho outer door, and, before opening it, demanded, in a firm voice, "Who's thero?" "A traveler; open quickly 1" was the response from the outside. " What do you want?" said the landlord. " What do I want? repeated tlie voice outside. " Why, a supper and abed, to be sure.

We need only say he regained his self-possession sufficiently to repair to the Commissioner of Police to make his deposition and relate on his wav to all his acquaintances, aud with an au* of the most utter bewilderment, the fearful tragedy of wliich his house had been the theater. The young traveler arrived at his paternal mansion about noon; and, us he was quite unexpected, he was welcomed by an explosion of joy and tender extiiunu- tions. His mother bestowed a few* soft tears upon him, while his sisters threw their arms ain ut his neck, caressing him, and contemplating him with joy and satisfaction. "But where is my father?" said he, at length extricating himself from the stringent embrace of his vouil'iest sister.

"Aud is my good father still as taciturn and gloomy ns ever ? " he asked. "Alas, yes!"theyreplied; "youwould imagine him incessantly pnrsued by some, dread fatality; but your arrival, so unlooked for as it is, cannot fail to gladden and cheer him," As soon as the young man was sealed, questions of all sorts assailed him, so greatly was the curiosity of his family excited to learn every particular of his lifo sinco he had quitted the paternal roof. "And you met with no accident on your journey?" asked his mother, "No, not exactly nn accident," he replied; " but a somewhat-singular event occurred to mo hist night, as vou shall hear." He then related his night of agitation and blood, and they listened, horror- stricken, for the tone in wliich he spoke convinced them of the truth of his recital. "Oh!

The traditional parlor set is rarely seen nowadays. Instead are a sofa and two large arm-chairs to match, covered, si>y with Persian raw silk, while the rest ofthe room i>. tilled with odd pieces—an S eh iir, an embroidered chair or two, au Eastern divan, a Moorish pouf, which is merely four cushions piled in a slender frame', and as many fancy chairs of gilt or ebony as may be needed. The man- i tai lam'bri quiii* the curtains, and portiere match the sofa and arm-chairs, unless Ihey are specimens of artistic embroidery, in which case the foundatii n must match the prevailing tint of the room. Fancy tables, with standards of gilt : or ebony, have the tojis upholstered | with plush or raw silk either to match I sets or as odd pieces. These same tn- ! hies, covered with cretonne or mummy | doth, are much liked for bedrooms. Indeed, cretonne and mummy cloth in cretonne designs play an imxiortant part in house furnishing. A favorite idea is tei furnish bedrooms throughout with these, having the whole furniture—Vcd, chairs, dressing table, and small table— covered with cretonne, the eurtams nud mantel lambrequin being of cretonne also, the carpet suiting in tone, and the very pajier of the room manufactured in the*design and eolor of the cretonne selected forthe jmrpose.

G. vennor, of Montreal, whoso boldness in weather predictions has brought hini into such prominence ,/;>va that the extreme cold of Canada is* *'. most always produced by a wind blowing from a point to the north of west. Such a wind is boUi cold mid dry. Being dry, in passing along it imbibes moisture rapidly, causing cold. Being also cold, it quickly absorbs heat from the. surface of the earth; and, when this continues for several hours of any day, and toward sunset it becomes calm, we then usually have the lowest state of the thermometer. In Canada, these extremes of cold usually last about three days; the nor'wester beginning about noon of one. day, blowing fiercely for that afternoon, becoming almost calm in the evening —then a cold night. Next day the wind is not so high, but still from a northwesterly point. Again, toward sunset, there is a calm, with tho thermometer more or less bolow zero. In tho morning, it may bo observed that the force, of the cold ia breaking.

And ho hoped their own bright happy baud

Homo vtatous in Ilia mind arose,
Ot hl« neighbor's hogs he had cltiwoil that day
J rom his held of potatoes over the way,
lor they toro like demons around the Held,
And the faster he followed the louder they squealed
I lie Bcliool-hoiiRe Inmate* heard the noise,
" Whou, Emma!" cried tho little boys,
And it set tlio deacon in a chafe
lo soo the pretty school-daiue laugh,
AVhen the sivluts bad fled the fence was flat,
And tlio deacon panting, without a bat.
While flxlng tho fenco lu a testy putter,
'tlio good old deacon was heard to lunttor
Some words a plrato would blush to utter.
And now, us I said, wbile ho bowod to pray,
At tlio oloso of that pleasant summer day,
There camo abrupt in his bonded bead
Thoughts of the awino and Uio words he said,
'' Forgive us, Lord, when wo bave disobeyed,
As we've forgiven trespasses," lie prayed;
" And let. our lives b« humble—more like Thine,
Dur walk nnd conversation more divine,"
And Uio deacon's prayer went softly on,
And soon the thoughts or the swine bud gone;
1'oe ho thought to liliiieolf, "If I loudly pray
This vision Mill fade from my mind away."
tt .while be was drawing bis prayer to a elope,
b (shadowy porkers again aroHc
And feebly kicked near Uio deacon's nose, -
Home warning they appeared to render.
Like Samuel to tho Witch of Enilor.
Tho long, sad squeals rose painful clear,
And smote upou tho deueon's ear.
"Ob, Lord!" ho stammered, "our sins forgive,
And help us moro like Thee to live.**

It seemed like a vision—yet seemed true;
Hia eyes bulged out In a dreadful way,
And hia hair stood np like new-laud hay,
He groaned—then faltered—then ceased to pray.
Hia mind was troubled, be knew not why,
As bo glanced around at IUb friends f 111111 tho sty;
Thoso painful moments were but brief,
Then ho burst in penitential grief:
*ll)li, Lord of Heaven, forgive me, I prav,
For swcarlug at .roluiaon's bogs to-dav."
Scarce had those humbling words been said,
The deacon lifted up his head;
Tbo heavy weight waa off ilia heart,
No moro he felt its gallh ( smart
The grunting Bivlno that stood bofore
Had vanished to return no more j
The worthy deacon'B heart was ltghl,
He saw uo more of bogs that night.

"Has a very modern and posh look"
By Shirley from Huntington Beach, CA
The product arrived on time and looks very well made. It's a beautiful addition to our living room. It gives the room a very modern and sleek look. It took husband about two hours to put it up. We were pleasantly surprised that the shade can be drawn from either side. Glad I called the 1-800 number about measurement because the instruction received was different from the website. It worked out perfectly base on the lady's instruction.View this product

Why it's called the Pearl Davis Suite
King Suites are named after Inkeepers Susan and Stan's grandmothers. Pearl Davis (Hill), Susan's paternal great grandmother, whose portrait hangs in our living room, was born in 1881 in rural upper Mississippi. She was known as one of the most beautiful women in the state, but when she chose to marry Ed Hill, her parents said they would rather see her in a casket than marry that scoundrel. When Ed came to take Pearl away in a wagon, her father followed them with a shotgun to make sure that they indeed had a legal ceremony.
Pearl and Ed had five children but she died in 1919 at age 38, five months after having Pearlie Lucille. During their marriage Ed was well-known for the quality of his moonshine and he was considered one of the two most notorious bootleggers in Texas, ultimately being turned in by his rival. It took six Texas Rangers to haul him in. We have a touching letter he wrote in 1920 from prison to his infant daughter, apologizing for having to leave her. In the letter, he describes Pearl as a "perfect lady." Our granddaughter has been named Emily Pearl Vining.
Praise for Hampton Terrace
...During the Shakespeare & Company production of my play An Impossible Life, my wife and I -- and the director and cast of the play -- not only stayed at Hampton Terrace, but also hung out there, partied there, and had a wonderful time there. Stan and his family were welcoming and made us all feel so much at home, we all left wishing they would adopt us. A splendid place to work, to play, to rest, and to meet friends and colleagues. We'll be back. Frequently.
David Black, Author (Pulitzer Prize nominee) Screenwriter (Law and Order, Hill Street Blues, 100 Centre Street)

Bedfordshire ELLI Project Report
Exploring the Learning Profiles of Underachieving Students
The project which commenced in September 2006 was initiated by Dr Philip Evans, in partnership with Ruth Deakin Crick a Senior Research Fellow of the Graduate School of Education of Bristol University. Four schools committed to the project: Bedford School, Bedford Modern School, Sharnbrook School and St Thomas More School.
The project was funded by a grant of £40,000 for the Harpur Trust and £5,000 from the Bedford School Trust.
Aims and Objectives / Research Questions
In addition a number of key research questions were posed:
Research Design
The research design for the project included the following:
- Quantitative data collection of learning power data along with achievement and demographic data of Year 9 students in four schools.
- Qualitative data collection to gain an in-depth view of student learning identity and agency.
- An intervention study with a sub group of underachieving students based on the data acquired.
The identification of those individuals within schools who showed a considerable discrepancy between their general cognitive ability and their general academic achievement was determined by the use of a simple localised regression method to locate three groups of students achieving below, at and above expected levels, in each of the schools. The linear regression took the mean of student cognitive ability tests in Year Seven (verbal, non-verbal and numeric) as the predictor variable, and the mean of their KS3 results (English, mathematics and science) or end of Year 9 examinations as the outcome variable. The regression line thus generated was used to identify underachieving students.
Understanding Learning Power
Each student undertook the ELLI profile. This inventory is a self report questionnaire which is administered online through 72 items. It measures what learners say about themselves in a particular domain, at a particular point in time. The scales form seven dimensions of what is considered to be the components of an individual's 'learning power' – a form of consciousness which leads to learning, change and growth and is characterised by various dispositions, values and attitudes.
A brief description of the seven dimensions is set out below:
Changing & learning: the sense of being able to learn and change over time.
Critical curiosity: the energy and desire to explore and ask questions.
Meaning making: make sense of learning, both personally and cognitively.
Creativity: imagination and intuition; risk taking, lateral thinking and playfulness.
Learning relationships: being inter-dependent, rather than isolated and/or dependent.
Strategic awareness: being emotionally, cognitively and practically self aware.
Dependence and fragility: being risk averse; challenge avoidance.
Project Findings
The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the under achievers and both other groups in four dimensions - strategic awareness, changing and learning, critical curiosity and meaning making.
The cohort of underachieving students reported themselves to be more static in their view of their capacity to change and learn over time, less critically curious and less likely to make meaning from their learning than both their achieving and overachieving counterparts. They also reported less strategic awareness than their 'over achieving' colleagues. It was apparent that students who are underachieving have less awareness and self regulation of their own learning processes and are more likely to be passive receivers of information, than actively curious and engaged makers of meaning. They are also likely to be less confident in their capacity to learn and achieve. They will also have had less experience of success in school validated work.
The mentoring sessions with the underachieving students have produced in a number of cases the following outcome:
Students reported change and benefit including improved self awareness and confidence, higher aspirations, improved questioning, a better understanding, improved relationships with teachers, improvements in planning and organisation and better use of learning techniques and skills.
Improvement in the level of academic achievement both in terms of course work and examinations. Also in a number of cases there has been considerable added value in relation to previous levels of achievement.
Positive changes in the individual ELLI profiles with significant development in the weaker dimensions, with students finding the language of ELLI very helpful in talking about their learning.

Interested in reusing graywater?
According to the California Graywater Standards, graywater is untreated household waste water which has not come into contact with toilet waste.
Graywater includes: used water from bathtubs, showers, bathroom wash basins, and water from clothes-washing machines and laundry tubs. It does not include: waste water from kitchen sinks, dishwashers, toilets, or laundry water from soiled diapers.
While TreePeople fully supports the expanded use of graywater, we have not done work specifically in this area. However, here are some links to graywater resources:
- The California Graywater Guide (1995)
- The City of Santa Monica's Environmental Programs Division's website has information on graywater.
- Art Ludwig's book, Create an Oasis with Greywater
- The Eco-Home Network provides a tour of an environmental demonstration home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles that has a graywater system.

Woodland got off to a fast start against Meadowcreek and followed it up by outscoring the Lady Mustangs by 17 points at the charity line to claim its first victory of the season Friday, 66-54.
The Lady Wildcats evened their season record at 1-1 against the Mustangs, their second opponent in the Southeast Whitfield Thanksgiving Tournament. Woodland fell to Northwest Whitfield, 66-54, on Tuesday.
Woodland got its offense revved up against Meadowcreek (0-2) for its second game in a row.
"We've scored 120 in these two games," coach Colman Roberts said. "We've had a couple of teams with that kind of offense, but it's been a while.
"We also had very balanced scoring, with four players in double digits. The player who didn't, Marissa [Dubose] had eight points. That's something I'm very excited about seeing when I grab the scorebook after the game."
Roberts said the team's ability to get to the free throw line also has been a pleasure to watch.
"I haven't had many teams in my 24 years in basketball who went to the line as many times as this team has," he said. "In our scrimmage we went to the free throw line 44 times, against Northwest 44 times and against Meadowcreek 48 times.
"We're trying to get close to the basket and penetrate more."
Woodland pounced on Meadowcreek early, outscoring the Lady Mustangs 20-10 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, however, the frenetic pace dropped off the Bartow school tallied just eight points. Meadowcreek scored just six points in the frame, however, and Woodland was able to take a 28-16 lead into the break.
In the third period Woodland tacked on 12 points to 11 for its opponent while it brushed the nets for 26 points in the final period to 27 for the Lady Mustangs.
Scoring for Woodland were Kennedy Robinson, 17, Brooke Hummel, 11; Ayrianna Metcalf, 11; Katie Harris, 11; Dubose, 8; Carly Bucy, 4; and Aubri Branch, 4. Meadowcreek was led by A. Alexander, 19 points, and C. Fields, 14 points.
At the free throw line, Woodland was 27 of 48, a 56-percent shooting average. Meadowcreek hit 10 of 19, a 53-percent mark.
Roberts said the Lady Wildcats have learned some things about themselves from their tournament foes.
"We did a lot of good things, but we've got a lot to work on. Meadowcreek is very athletic and put a lot of pressure on us. We've played two games against two teams that put pressure on us, and that's what we wanted in this tournament because that should help us against the teams we will face later in the year."
One thing the Lady Wildcats want to do is play their best throughout the entire game.
"We're trying to stay away from having a quarter or a couple of minutes where we kind of take a break," Roberts said.
He noted Woodland scored just eight points in the second quarter. "We kind of went away from what we had been doing that got us our lead. We talked about that at halftime."
Roberts said the Lady Wildcats were patient and hit open players early despite the pressure from Meadowcreek and that resulted in some good, easy shots. In the second quarter they tried to dribble through traps and that slowed the game down as well as stopped them from outscoring their foe by such a wide margin.
"The girls know what they need to work on," he said.
He said the team needs to spend its time improving now. "We've got a long way to go, and it's going to get tougher."
"[Today] we will play the winner of the Dalton - Tri Cities game and I know the team we play will be well coached. We open region play against New Manchester next Friday. We need to try to get better and improve in every practice and every game we have.
"Hopefully we'll be strong by the time Christmas break is over and in January and February. I want to be playing our best when our season is about to come to an end. We want to play well in the tournament.
"Our goal — just like it is every year — is for us to make the state playoffs. I'd really like to see them be successful and make it to the state playoffs."
Woodland next plays today in the holiday tournament, facing the winner of the Dalton-Tri Cities game at 1 p.m. in the consolation finals.

They're not dinnerware, per se, but Williams-Sonoma has this set of colorful bowls that my mom has--and I want! They call them ceramic mixing bowls, but they'd be serving bowls for me! (Mom uses the biggest bowl to make fruit an accessible snack in her kitchen.)
I mentioned this on the FB page, too, but for Fiesta, be sure to go to their factory site at http://www.fiestafactorydirect.com/ for great prices and deals. All great quality and MADE IN AMERICA! We're working hard at home to buy as much locally as we can and I extend this to things like dishes.
Ikea also has unbelievably inexpensive dinnerware. Like, an 18-piece set for $25.00. Many different color selections and styles, and very durable. Surprised this wasn't mentioned, as these are the cheapest, most stylish (for the price) dishes I've found....
Yes, why no mention of Ikea - they've got the same colors as the West Elm dishes shown and this Spring they're adding (according to The Guardian) a beautiful raspberry pink color in the Forsla line. I don't find this listed on either the Ikea UK or USA sites, yet, but I assume it will show up soon. Check it out here:
I LOVE my Fiestaware. Great colors and combinations of colors you can put together. Made in AMERICA. All pieces are oven, microwave and dishwasher safe and they wash up very nicely even stuck on food! Great quality. I am really happy I decided to make this our "China" when we got married. Great for everyday use and entertaining.
Etsy should also be mentioned. There's a huge selection of vintage finds and wheel-thrown pottery that can be custom ordered just for you. I feel like there's nothing etsy can't be used for! :)
I have Oneida Colorburst dinnerware in Berry blue and Kiwi. It looks very much like the Crate & Barrel dishes but they've chipped like crazy. I think I'll be checking out Crate & Barrel. I love them so much they look so clean and minimal in the cupboard but so bright and fun on the table.

Sometimes you exert so much positive energy that it drives the egomaniacs insane. While they yap about how much money they make or compare their luxurious yachts, there you are discussing world hunger, spirituality and universal love. They don't care about any of that stuff and would laugh at you on any given day, but when their chicks run to hear some of your wisdom, they'll be fuming! Tell them to chillax and let go of their egos — you're just a chill dude who happens to be wearing some rad clothes from Billabong. This Refraction tee is made of organic cotton and features a distressed Billabong double wave graphic printed across the chest. You don't mean to attract all the attention — you just know how to connect with people and life in general.

soft and comfortable
Very soft and comfortable. I have ordered these before and love them - they are my go-to outfit for winter weekends and evenings at home.. I ordered the red and the gray. Very rich colors. I ordered the PL. Pants are too long, but better too long than too short. I turn up the hem.

comfy and soft
This is a beautiful jogging suit. So soft, and super comfy. Well made. Fit great, and I am tall, so it was nice to find one in a long length. Would recommend!

I was reminded of the wonderfulness of the Paris Air Show on my last day at Le Bourget Airport on June 20. My job at most shows that we cover is tied up with producing AIN's daily issues, and for two or three days before the show until the night before our last issue is printed I'm heads-down in the constant struggle to stay ahead of the relentless deadlines involved in producing a daily print magazine.

I've always been one to deliberate carefully before spending money, but I might not have labeled myself an obsessive shopper until the day, several years ago, when I went looking for a new kitchen faucet.
For a time in the 1970s and 1980s, Wisconsin Sen. William Proxmire gave out his Golden Fleece Awards. But they had nothing to do with Jason and Argonauts.
I remember well that night 17 years ago when TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed off the coast of Long Island, killing all aboard. I was settling down with some friends at my brother's Manhattan apartment to watch a game between the Red Sox and their arch-rival Yankees when the game broadcast was interrupted by news that an airliner had crashed soon after takeoff from JFK International.
Rod Machado, a prolific aviation author and educator, is a voice of reason when it comes to how we can improve aviation safety, and his recent comments in response to an FAA notice on new training standards put a fresh spin on an old problem.
How accurate should airworthiness directives be? Before you answer that question, let me give you an example of an actual AD applicable to the Airbus A318/319/320/321 and then you can decide whether the information provided is sufficient for a mechanic to perform the required maintenance properly. I know you're not all mechanics, but I don't think you need to be one to see the problem.
The search for the world's most famous missing pilot has gotten strange.
Months before the FAA began its short-lived policy of furloughing air traffic controllers and making plans to close 149 low-activity ATC towers, the agency was making dire forecasts about how the plan would affect various facets of the
Just as cellphones, tablets and laptops have become ubiquitous in the cabins of passenger aircraft, so have they become more and more common in the cockpits of our aircraft.
