Introduction: albite is the sodic end-member of the plagioclase feldspar series. It is present commonly in acid intrusive and eruptive igneous rocks such as granites and rhyolites, and is also a characteristic mineral in low-grade metamorphic rocks particularly those derived from basic igneous precursors. However, to the collector, the most important occurrences are the well-formed crystals that are commonly found in cavities in Alpine fissure-type vein associations. Here, the association with anatase, brookite, rutile, apatite and clinochlore is typical.
Occurrence in Wales: albite is present in many areas of Wales as an important rock-forming mineral of both primary and secondary origin. Primary occurrences are to be found in many of the acidic igneous rocks of Wales: examples include the St. David's Granophyre in Pembrokeshire (Bloxam & Dirk, 1988). Secondary occurrences, in which albite has replaced original calcic plagioclase, are frequently observed in low-grade metabasites (Bevins & Rowbotham, 1983), in such cases electron microprobe analyses have shown the albite to be virtually pure. In specimen terms, there are a number of important occurrences in Alpine fissure-type veins at localities scattered across North Wales, perhaps the best known being from Prenteg, near Tremadog (Starkey & Robinson, 1992). These specimen localities are listed below, along with an unusual occurrence from the Central Wales Orefield.
Key Localities:
- Afon Wen, Gwynedd: The Afon Wen Intrusive Complex, Gwynedd contains, pinkish twinned crystals up to 3 mm in size associated with chlorite and epidote in small cavities in altered microtonalite (J.S. Mason, unpublished data).
- Brynyrafr Mine, Ponterwyd, Ceredigion: an unusual occurrence of albite, with apatite, rutile and quartz, is found in small (<10 mm long), open cavities in sandstone and mudstone clasts within a quartz-cemented breccia (British Micromount Society Newsletter 35). The albite is clearly post-brecciation and a mechanism to explain their formation has yet to be derived. The assemblage occurs as euhedral crystals (<1 mm), and has also been found, in a less well-developed form, at Castell, Darren, Erglodd, Ystrad Einion and Bwlchysgellyn mines, and although widespread, is restricted paragenetically to the early or 'A1' assemblages (J.S. Mason, unpublished data).
- Cae Mawr Mine, Gwynedd: the tips from this small mine contain common albite, as small pink veinlets in altered microtonalite, associated with quartz, chlorite and epidote.
- Coed Llyn-y-Garnedd, near Maentwrog, Gwynedd: albite is present as small pinkish-buff crystals in Alpine fissure-type veins exposed along forest roads, cutting both sedimentary and igneous rocks (including part of the Tanygrisiau Microgranite). It is associated with anatase, clinochlore and quartz, and was discovered during the Gwynedd phase of the Minescan project in 1997 (Bevins & Mason, 1998).
- Cwmorthin Quarry, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd: albite forms small tabular crystals associated with quartz on open vein-fractures cutting turbidite-tuffs, discovered during Minescan follow-up work, 2001 (NMW/Manchester Museum, unpublished data).
- Gloddfa Ganol Quarry, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd: albite is common as complex crystals up to 2 mm in size in an Alpine fissure-type vein association (anatase, rutile, synchysite, clinochlore, apatite) in a brecciated slate matrix. This was discovered during Minescan follow-up work, 2001 (NMW/Manchester Museum unpublished data).
- Hendre Quarry, Glyn Ceiriog, Clwyd: small (<2 mm) colourless to white albite crystals have been described from an Alpine fissure-type assemblage on joints cutting dolerite (Starkey et al., 1991).
- Manod Quarry, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd: tabular, colourless to white albite crystals, up to 10 mm in size, form extensive coatings on fractured quartz-latite, associated with quartz, anatase, brookite, apatite, synchysite and clinochlore. Some fine specimens have been recovered from this locality.
- Minffordd Quarry, near Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd: pink complexly-twinned crystals have been collected from Alpine-type veins at this (still working) quarry. Specimens in the National Museum of Wales Collection (e.g. NMW 27.111.GR.374) were collected prior to 1927 by G.J. Williams but a more recent (1995) search failed to locate any further material (J.S. Mason, unpublished data).
- Prenteg, Tremadog, Gwynedd: this locality is famous for its splendid brookite crystals, but the outcrop at Prenteg formerly produced rich hand specimens of albite composed of aggregates of 5-10 mm, white, tabular crystals forming extensive areas on dolerite (Starkey & Robinson, 1992). The locality is now protected and not accessible to mineral collectors.
- Tanygrisiau Station, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd: albite is common at this locality as extensive coatings of small (<3 mm) twinned tabular crystals (Green & Middleton, 1996).

If you are looking for a job but haven't got it, maybe an electrical learnership can be a choice. You can make your electrical skills improved by taking an electrical learnership. With it, you can get a job that involves installing or maintaining electrical things. If you have an interest with an electrician learnership you have to be comfortable in working outdoors in every weather condition and you might work in height because the work is carried out on platform, elevating platform and even on electricity poles using a ladder.
Electrical Learnership Levels
The electrical learnership training is including erection and maintenance poles, installation of underground cabling infrastructure, repairing the underground cabling, and other kinds of installing and maintaining of electrical system. And, the electrical learnership has four stages and it takes four years to complete. From the first year, you will get many kinds of theory and practical training. To pass this stage you have to complete every aspect of City & Guild Certificate at level 2. The second year, you will complete your theory and practical training aspects of City & Guild Certificate at level 3. The competence to pass the third year is you have to assess to the NVQ National Occupation Standards. And for the last year, you have to be successful in the Achievement Measurement 2 test.
So, what do you think to have an electrical career? This job is very important because without someone installing and maintaining electrical, your house can't have the light in the night, also there won't be any TV or computer or other kinds of electrical thing that turn on. Just start it from electrical learnership.

INDIANAPOLIS – The former director of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee has been accused of stealing more than $96,000 of the community group's money.
Matthew Hendrix was arrested Thursday on charges of forgery and theft.
The Marion County prosecutor's office said Hendrix was fired in March after a personal expense of more than $5,000 was reported on the organization's business credit card account. Prosecutors said they suspect Hendrix paid fictitious vendors out of various program funds.
Hendrix's attorney, Jim Voyles, declined comment to The Associated Press.
Prosecutors said they believe Hendrix took money intended for programs such as the Mayor's Celebration of Diversity Awards Program, Indy's Campaign for Financial Fitness and the Office of Education Innovation.
Hendrix has been director of the group since 2009.

Rodgers tips 'top talent' McCarthy for England
Brendan Rodgers described the performance of Reading keeper Alex McCarthy as "absolutely staggering" after Liverpool were held to a goalless draw.
The Reds manager watched in awe as McCarthy made a succession of world-class saves to deny Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge.
Reading's goal came under continuous pressure in the final 10 minutes and Suarez was stunned to see two great attempts foiled by the brilliance of McCarthy.
In a remarkable footnote to his heroics, the 23-year-old was playing his first match since November 4 after recovering from shoulder surgery.
"Our players couldn't have done any more. Some of our interchanging and creativity was outstanding," Rodgers said.
"Sometimes you have days where the keeper makes one or two good saves, but we had 14 shots on target away from home today.
"I know Alex well. He's genuinely going to be a top, top keeper and to perform like that having been out for so long was absolutely staggering."
Rodgers worked with McCarthy during his six-month spell as Reading manager in 2009 and tipped the academy product for England honours.
"Reading has always produced very good goalkeepers so he was down the pecking order at the time," he said.
"He has all the qualities to be a top, top keeper - he's 6'5", makes good saves, is good on his feet and is very calm and assured despite being very young.
"Absolutely I can see him playing for England, there's no question about that.
"It will be hard because Joe Hart is one of the top five keepers in world football, so it will be very difficult for him because Joe is still very young.
"But there's no doubt he's a top talent. He'll be getting games here at Reading and hopefully he'll become the number one at Reading."
Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina made fine saves when Noel Hunt and Jobi McAnuff threatened to score, but Reading manager Nigel Adkins insisted the afternoon belonged to McCarthy.
"All the headlines tomorrow will be about Alex McCarthy. He's put in a fantastic display even though he's been out for a while," Adkins said.
"We have some exceptional keepers here at Reading and a really good goalkeeping coach.
"I'm really pleased with the players, their attitude and application. We've kept a clean sheet and it's fair to say Alex has pulled off some world-class saves.
"Alex will receive the headlines but I'm pleased with all the players today."

Six Decades of Success
Six decades have wrought amazing changes at Marymount. Programs and services have multiplied, buildings have sprung up, and the student body has grown exponentially. But through it all, the institution's operations have remained firmly rooted in the philosophy of its founders, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary.
A Lasting Legacy
Bill has been the Marymount women's basketball coach since 1983, also serving as athletic director since 1989. Judy spent the first 14 years of his tenure as "head volunteer," then came on board officially in 1997, when she was appointed as the University's first sports information director. Together, the Finneys have become synonymous with Marymount athletics; they are widely known and respected in the local community, in the Capital Athletic Conference, and in NCAA Division III circles.
Helping Haiti: Close By and Crushed Under
Mr. Keating, who served as governor of Oklahoma from 1995 to 2003, is on the Board of the American Red Cross for the National Capital Area. He and his wife, Cathy – a member of Marymount University's Board of Trustees – are co-chairs of the Red Cross's Next Century Campaign. After the earthquake struck this January, the Keatings traveled to Haiti to get a first-hand look at the devastation and the work of Red Cross staff and volunteers there.
Helping Haiti: A Community Responds
From the moment the first images of the human suffering and physical devastation caused by the Haitian earthquake reached the outside world, the response has been a massive outpouring of humanitarian aid.
Marymount Students Make a Splash!
You never know when something wonderful is going to happen. Just ask Pablo Quinonez, Laura Schaefer, Tory Miller, and Shannon Gough – MU students who have grasped opportunity with open minds and open hearts, making the most of their time and talents.
A Warm Welcome in India

Homeowners who get a substantial cut in their monthly mortgage payments still stand a good chance of falling behind again, a report by two federal regulators says.
Nearly 40 percent of homeowners who received a loan modification that reduced monthly loan payments by 20 percent or more were at least two months late again within a year, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision said Monday.
That's an ominous sign for the Obama administration's plan to stem the foreclosure crisis, which was launched in March. Only about 31,000 modifications have been made permanent under that plan.

The Very Big Love: 47 Siblings, 7 Mothers, and 1 Father
By Dorothy Allred Solomon
The family in 1958. The author is standing, far left, second row.

During the family's first exile to the Mexico desert in 1947, in a place called Las Parceles, they lived in tents that sheltered the occasional tarantula and rattlesnake on a parcel of land owned by one Dayer LeBaron. A megalomaniacal clan leader, LeBaron had written my father sympathetic letters when he was imprisoned, inviting him to bring his family to live the Principle without interference from the law. He didn't mention that there'd be no food beyond the yield of a small garden, no lodging, no utilities, only miles of sand and constant wind. The mothers couldn't keep the children's bellies from shrinking.
Still, at Christmas, they drew on wellsprings of creativity. From a broken broomstick my mother sawed 24 disks; half she colored with black crayon melted into the wood, the other half she dyed red with onion skins. Then she fashioned a checkerboard from a square of cardboard. This inspired my father to carve a set of chess pieces from mesquite for his older children and strings of tiny wooden beads with pendants for his wives. The mothers made dried apple dolls for the girls and tore an old sheet to make handkerchiefs with whipstitched hems for my father and the older boys. For the little boys, they made trucks and cars from chunks of two-by-four, with broomstick disks for wheels.
About 6 o'clock Christmas morning, someone saw headlights. This was our father's legal wife, the only one who could stay in Salt Lake City. She took time off from her job as a legal secretary and drove for three nights and two days with her infant son, rolling up to the cluster of tents with cornflakes and molasses and Christmas oranges. They rejoiced, as they'd been subsisting on a bumper crop of yams for two months.
We returned from Mexico a second time, in 1955, but the raids did not abate, and we were forced to live permanently in far-flung, separate homes. My father drove from Utah to Wyoming to Idaho to Oregon to Nevada and New Mexico, visiting each family once every two months. In the winter he braved snowstorms to deliver Christmas provisions: nuts, oranges, flour, and sugar. He'd also minister to our accumulated illnesses, and try to squeeze in a day of hunting or fishing with his sons and dispense some fatherly advice or discipline. If possible, he'd attend our athletic events and music recitals, sitting in the back, incognito. From the stage, when I'd see him clapping, it pained me not to be able to acknowledge our relationship for fear of risking our family's solidarity. During these visits, our father also managed to fulfill his conjugal duties, as evidenced by wives who subsequently grew big with child.

The Worst of Times
Here in the provinces, we're left wondering if we too would rise to the challenge of a sudden disaster. Sure, Baltimoreans help each other dig out from the occasional blizzard but how would we hold up under hostile fire? How would we cope with massive casualties, or respond to the destruction of our central city? Oddly, Baltimore's history offers separate precedents for each of these challenges: The city has experienced hostile fire without massive casualties, dealt with massive casualties without coming under fire, and suffered the destruction of downtown without the loss of a single life.
The first great threat to Baltimore was, of course, the British attack of 1814, an event that Americans invoke every time they sing the national anthem. For anyone who knows the story behind the song, the last month's endless choruses of "The Star-Spangled Banner" seemed particularly appropriate: Until last month, the War of 1812 was the last time a foreign power had assaulted the U.S. mainland.
Coincidentally, the British ships entered the Patapsco on Sept. 11, 1814; the famous "perilous fight"--the siege of Fort McHenry--took place two days later. By sheer luck, no British bomb succeeded in exploding the fort's stores of powder. The entire bombardment took just four American lives, and the British never entered the harbor.
While their fleet pounded vainly at Fort McHenry, British land forces marched on the city's eastern flank and encountered Maryland and Pennsylvania militias at the Battle of North Point ("1812 Overtures," Sept. 22, 1999, www.citypaper.com/1999-09-22/feature.html). The Americans retreated strategically, felling trees across roads to slow the foe's advance. When the British finally arrived on the outskirts of the city, 12,000 armed Americans were waiting for them behind a line of earthworks that ran from Hampstead Hill, in present-day Highlandtown, down to the water's edge. The entrenchments had been built over the previous two weeks by civilian Baltimoreans of all classes, laboring shoulder to shoulder. The attackers, who had counted on support from the thwarted British fleet, gave up and marched away. In all, about 220 Americans had died in the defense of Baltimore. The survivors celebrated.
Two generations later, the threat to the city was more complicated. In September 1862, Baltimore was split between Unionists and Southern sympathizers. Fort McHenry was serving as a jail for prominent secessionists, and Union troops on Federal Hill were on guard against a possible pro-Rebel uprising. Word of an impending invasion by the Confederate Army stirred some Baltimoreans into panic. War news was haphazard and slow in coming. Nobody knew exactly where and when Robert E. Lee would cross the Potomac.
The eventual clash took place 75 miles west of Baltimore, close enough that cannon fire could be heard in the city. Four thousand eight hundred men died on the Antietam battlefield, and some 18,000 were wounded--many fatally. Within days, newspaper accounts were calling Antietam the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, and the record stood. Until Sept. 11, 2001, no other event would claim more lives on American soil.
While it didn't suffer the attack directly, Baltimore dealt with the wounded of both armies, who arrived in the thousands by railroad. Charitable groups hustled money for supplies, and hundreds of Baltimoreans, especially women, volunteered in hospitals, churches, and makeshift clinics. Fort McHenry, already a prison, was pressed into medical service, as were public buildings from Westminster to Annapolis. The fort's patients--wounded Rebels--were prisoners of war. Sympathetic Baltmoreans had to leave their gifts and donations at the guardhouse.
The city's third great calamity happened by accident. On Feb. 7, 1904, the Great Baltimore Fire began with a spark in a dry-goods warehouse. Whipped by changing winds, the fire consumed about 150 acres, from Liberty Street on the west to Jones Falls on the east, and from Fayette Street to the waterfront. Some 2,500 businesses were destroyed, but, miraculously, no one died in the blaze and no homes were burned.
The city responded to the disaster with immense good humor. Citizens volunteered to help with demolition and cleanup, and a blue-ribbon panel called the Burnt District Commission set about not merely rebuilding, but redesigning downtown. The new city center would have wider streets, modernized docks, fireproof construction, and a much-improved firefighting system. In retrospect, historians regard the fire as one of the best things that ever happened to Baltimore, enabling a massive renovation that would have been impossible to achieve politically.
Ironically, the fire may have claimed its one victim long after the flames were doused. Mayor Robert McLane had calmly led the city through the disaster, and afterward was so confident of Baltimore's recovery that he refused financial help from the state and other jurisdictions. But on May 30, less than four months after the fire and just 16 days after his wedding, McLane killed himself.
The past can't promise anything about the future. By the standards of 1814, present-day Baltimoreans seem pretty soft. Still, New Yorkers have proven that even decadent East Coast urbanites can deal with sudden disasters. Perhaps it's the slow-motion disasters--the threats that fail to galvanize us--that we really need to worry about.

How MultiAir Works
by David Finlay (11 March 2010)
Fiat Group was one of the first manufacturers to adopt what has become the increasingly common practice of improving official fuel economy and CO2 emissions by creating a small forced-induction engine which uses fuel at a modest rate when the turbocharger isn't operating but produces similar power to a much larger unit when it is. In 2010, it has taken the idea a stage further by introducing various versions the 1.4-litre MultiAir petrol engine to the Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo ranges.
To understand MultiAir you have to know how a conventional engine works. The rotary motion which leaves the engine and eventually reaches the wheels is the result of an initial up-and-down motion in which pistons (connected by conrods to a crankshaft) move up and down cylinders hidden within the engine block. In the universally-adopted four-stroke cycle, a downward movement of the piston draws air - and generally fuel, though in direct-injection engines this is a separate process - into the cylinder, then an upward movement compresses the fuel/air mix; that mix is ignited, and the energy released in burning it pushes the piston back down, and as it returns to the top again it pushes exhaust gas out of the cylinder.
Air is allowed into the cylinder, and exhaust allowed out of it, by means of valves which open and close at appropriate times. The valves are operated by eccentic lobes on a camshaft, and the design of those lobes determines both the extent to which the valves open and how long they stay open.
If this all sounds reasonably simple, be assured that a huge amount has been left out because it's not immediately relevant. One thing that is relevant, though, is that the valve timing - the behaviour of the valves as determined by the cam profiles - does not work equally well at all engine speeds. Honda attended to that twenty years ago by using lobes with two different characteristics on the same cam and developing a system which allowed the engine to swap from one to the other as required. Other methods of varying valve timing have been used in the intervening years.
Fiat's MultiAir system does that too, though with an unusually high level of control. The exhaust valves are operated normally, but there is no direct mechanical link between the camshaft and the inlet valves. Instead, a link is created by oil compressed so that it reaches pressures of around 120 pounds per square inch - enough to make it effectively solid, or at least solid enough to be able to push open the valves against the springs that normally hold them shut.
However, the oil is only allowed to do this if it is directed into the appropriate channel. If it isn't, it is instead sent elsewhere, and the valves do not open because there is nothing to open them with. The oil is either directed towards the valve or not according to whether a nearby solenoid is operated, and the decision is made by the engine management system.
So, the valves can either behave as directed by the profile on the cam lobes, or they can just sit there doing nothing. The cunning part of MultiAir is the control of the in-between states, in which the valves may be opened late, or shut early, or in one situation slightly opened twice during the same intake stroke. By these means the MultiAir engine effectively has different cam profiles for different situations, resulting in more power at low engine speeds and better turbulence of the fuel/air mix (leading to a more efficient burn and in turn to better economy and CO2 emissions) during gentle driving. The "real" cam profile is used only when maximum power is required, which in normal motoring isn't very often.
MultiAir has come to market long before it has reached the end of its development, so although it already works very well in the Punto Evo and the MiTo there is certainly more to come. Fiat engineers won't go into details, of course, but we do know that a direct petrol injection version of the engine is being worked on.

I'll be upfront and say that this is really the first Twilight movie in the 'saga' that I have any hope for. And while I have my reasons, if you're not able to discuss this in a constructive and mature manner, then I suggest you just leave now….and don't let the door hit your vagina on the way out. Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Back to serious.

In August of 2008, Scott Batten, sick and emaciated, was homeless on the streets of Spokane. Batten was a veteran, an alcoholic in the last stages, and in need of help.
Batten had abused alcohol since the age of 10; he was addicted to alcohol for over 40 years. If he tried to detox, he would experience severe withdrawals lasting over nine days.
With a fascinating history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupcake) and a role in the war against terrorism (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/06/03/136921564/reports-british...) it would be remiss of the Statesman-Examiner not to offer cupcakes, along with a variety of other pastries, during our bake sale fundraiser Tuesday, June 14 and Wednesday, June 15 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Fear not, rodeo fans. The Colville Pro-West Rodeo is scheduled for its usual Father's Day weekend in June.

Lincoln North Star High School students wanting to hold a fundraiser for a former student who died last weekend were told they could not do so on school grounds.
The body of Wayne State College freshman Eddie Key III was found around 7 p.m. Saturday in his Berry Hall dorm room. Key graduated last May from Lincoln North Star where he earned Second Team All-Nebraska and Super State honors in football as an offensive lineman his senior year. Key played defensive end at Wayne State last fall.
Preliminary autopsy results ruled out alcohol or drugs as factors in the 18-year-old's death. Police also ruled out self-inflicted injuries as a cause of death. There were no signs of foul play at the scene.
Many Lincoln North Star students knew Key. "When this happened these kids took a call to arms and rallied together to find ways to express themselves and help through the grieving process," said parent John Coffey.
After putting together plans for a T-shirt sale fundraiser, students were told a district policy wouldn't allow them to do that on school grounds because Key was not a current student. "The policy is in place to make sure we don't set precedents to one student over another student," said Lincoln North Star principal Vonn Price.
"I think there was mixed emotions across the board, some people were angry," said Coffey.
Students were forced to find another place for the fundraiser and the Applebee's restaurant on 27th Street allowed them to hold it there. "We just tried to circumvent that in a way to do the right thing and help the family out," said Coffey. "It's hit hard, Eddie was a great guy, known and loved by all."
Key's wake is Friday from 12 - 7 p.m. at Metcalf Funeral Home in Lincoln. Funeral services are 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Mark's in Lincoln.

Having recently visited many Spanish workers' homes scattered over the two large provinces of Northern Spain, i.e. Guipuzcoa and Viscaya — including the industrial area of Bilbao, Baracaldo and Sestao, I feel myself under a deep obligation to pass on particulars of the very savage sentences passed on political opponents of the Franco regime. There is nothing new in the over-all picture I describe — they add just one little bit more to the overwhelming evidence of the frightful oppression of Franco's political opponents coming from almost every visitor to Spain and confirmed by such reports as that given by the "Times" correspondent in its issue of Jan. 10th last — giving particulars of the brutal sentences upon the 16 Socialists at the court-martial at Ocano — whose "crime" was that they had tried to restart the Socialist Party. All were known to be anti-communist — well known democrats who had given many years' service to the Socialist and Trade Union movement. James Oldfield, the "Daily Herald" correspondent, it will be remembered, reported upon one whom he had known intimately for at least two years, described as a moderate Socialist - opposed to Communism — and sentenced to 15 years.
My information, gathered in each case from first-hand sources, is of men who have served the whole or part of their sentences, whom I have personally interviewed, some of them badly beaten up in prison — one had his teeth knocked out — and released only when their health had completely broken down. One poor fellow I visited was almost too weak to speak. They sent for me as they knew of my visit, and he was asking for news of his two children, who had been under my care here in England — one of whom had volunteered as a W.A.A.F. and had been stationed at an R.A.F. station in Yorkshire during the blitz, and has since married one of our sergeant-pilots. I had news three weeks after I left Spain that he had died ten days after my last visit to him. Others who had also only been released when extremely weak, had never and it appears from all they knew would never be able to work again. The daughter of one of them wrote me a few weeks ago to say her father, too, was dying.
In another case the father was shot (recently). I learned this from the son — and his mother and the wives of other men who had been executed demonstrated outside the prison in their anger, and it appears that the authorities, fearing a riot, gave orders for the crowd to be fired upon. The boy's mother was wounded by a bullet, from which she has since died. That lad is now in England. He came as a stowaway. I had to appear at the South-Western Police Court in connection with his case. I am glad to say that after we had been able to provide the Home Secretary with corroboratory evidence he was given permission to stay.
Of seventeen homes I visited, no less than the fathers of ten of these families had served from two to five years. Two had been executed, one died as result of prison experiences, another on his death bed. One of the men who had been executed (a friend of Prieto's) was the father of a Basque girl who came here when 14 years of age as a Basque refugee under my care at Reigate. She later served as a nurse at the Queen Elizabeth's Hospital in London through the latter part of the War. She and her husband, Capt. R. J. Turner, D.S.O., can confirm much of the foregoing, as

Mission Statement
The College of Arts and
Letters serves multiple vital needs of JMU students. First, it offers
high-quality programs of specialized
study in the social sciences,
humanities, communication and the arts, and in several pre-professional
and interdisciplinary areas. Second, the college provides a challenging array
of courses designed to promote lifelong learning by sharpening analytical
abilities; improving computational and communications skills; cultivating a
facility with written expression; enhancing cultural awareness, intensifying
moral and aesthetic sensitivity and fostering awareness of the contingent
nature of knowledge. Linking these two missions is a college-wide commitment to
free but rigorous and controlled
inquiry into human nature. Finally, the
college provides a variety of rich cultural opportunities for JMU students and
the entire university community by sponsoring gallery exhibits and dozens of
performing arts events, including Masterpiece Season, a series of programs
featuring local and touring artists.
In addition to the special
goals of each major, all programs in
the college are committed to helping the student achieve the following common
§ Improve foundational skills fostered by
general education courses: writing, critical thinking, information access
through technology and, where appropriate, foreign languages.
§ Develop the ability to use writing to
acquire knowledge and to communicate ideas effectively through
writing-intensive courses required in the major.
Enrich cultural perspectives essential to effective
citizenship in the 21st century; global awareness and appreciation of American
cultural diversity.
Provide significant active-learning experiences through
field courses, research projects, internships, studies abroad and simulations.

Born in the heart of the vibrant bristol music scene, euphoric rock five-piece Natural Tendency explore a new direction in rock music and bring it to life in a unique way.
Natural Tendency formed when vocalist/songwriter Ed Taylor began studying at the Bristol Institute of Modern Music alongside other musicians such as Steve Sparrow of Morning Parade. Their recent self-titled mini-album, with production & engineering provided by Adam "Nolly" Getgood of US djent rockers Periphery, showcases their maturity and diversity in songwriting. Further to that, the band soon made a name for themselves on the live circuit, completing gigs in Bristol and all around the South West. These include recent support slots with legendary British band InMe at the Swindon Furnace and grime star Tinchy Stryder at this year's Youth For Youth Festival in Bristol, and a sell-out release show for the mini-album at the Bristol Cooler.
Outside of Natural Tendency its members have found other musical successes, with Bec Jevons (synth/guitar) joining The Blue Aeroplanes, who's recent ventures have included a live session on BBC 6Music & UK tour.
Natural Tendency completed their first UK tour earlier this year, which began with a main support slot for Spin Doctors at a sold-out Bristol Fleece. The band were featured in Kerrang! Magazine to promote this.

Driven to discover and committed to advancing health. We are one of the country's top medical schools with campuses in the Twin Cities and Duluth.
In Minnesota, nearly 70% of our counties are considered medically under-served.
It's a figure our Medical School is determined to improve.
The University of Minnesota has long has been recognized for its efforts to improve access to health care in rural areas through efforts to increase the number of medical students who go on to practice in Minnesota's rural communities.
In fact, the Medical School was recognized in 2010 for graduating the most rural physicians in the nation.
Each year, between 30 and 40 third-year medical students have the opportunity to participate in the Rural Physician Associate Program (RPAP). These students live in smaller under-served rural communities and truly develop an understanding of what life is like for rural doctors.
Since the program's beginnings in 1971, about 60% of RPAP graduates practice in rural areas, and about 80% choose careers in primary care. RPAP grads also tend to become instructors for the program, helping the next generation of future physicians learn about the rewards of practicing rural medicine.
The Duluth campus of the Medical School has a particular mission to educate doctors in both primary care and for greater Minnesota. Each year about 60 first-year students enter the program in Duluth, which offers clinical experiences with doctors in small or Native American communities. The Duluth program educates future doctors for the first 2 years, after which they come to the Twin Cities campus for years 3 and 4.
Minnesota's Future Doctors program helps prepare students who are under-represented in the medical field, including those from rural areas, to successfully apply to medical school.
The program recruits promising undergraduates who are interested in medicine and provides them with opportunities to learn about medical school, college enrichment, service projects, and patient interactions.
RPAP is a nine-month, community-based educational experience for University of Minnesota third-year medical students who live and train in rural communities.
Rather than simply creating an "urban" care system in rural Minnesota, the CRMHS develops solutions through a system of mental heath care that fits the rural setting culturally, financially, and geographically.
60 first-year students enter our doors each year eager to learn the science and art of medicine.
Minnesota's medical schools and teaching hospitals had more than an $8.4 billion impact on the state.

Richland Public Records
Public records in Richland include death records, marriage records, court records, military records, birth records and many others.
Some people look into Richland public records due to a legal reason, such as supplying documentation to a governmental or private agency or whether they wish to inquire information about someone they know.
For obvious reasons, free records are often most coveted, however, certain agencies and\or online services quite often charge a small fee for their services. It should be noted that not all records are available to the entire general public, for example, quite often a death certificate is available only to the family of the deceased and other interested parties until a specific time period had passed since the death occurred.

Post Review
When in June 1968 Elvis Presley made a television special to be aired in December of the same year, he accomplished two things. He saved his career, and he made the best music of his life. Wearing a black leather suit as if he were born in it-Elvis sang his old songs, but they did not sound old. He invested them with so much emotion - emotions his original recordings of, say, "Blue Suede Shoes," "Tryin' to Get to You," "One Night," "Blue Christmas," or "Can't Help Falling in Love" did not contain - that each became a thing in itself. Suddenly these were less songs than events - where anything could happen, where everything did.
The 3 discs that make up this Deluxe Edition are a treasure chest of that moment: the special itself, as it aired on December 3, 1968; the two complete "Sit Down" shows - the rough, improvised, altogether explosive attacks on the likes of "One Night," "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," and "Blue Christmas," with the audience so close Elvis could touch the people in it, and did; the two "Arena Shows," Elvis appearing on his own, again before audiences, with a big band and chorus off stage; and three-and-a-half hours of BONUS MATERIAL, alternate stagings of the skits and dramatized musical numbers from the show - some of them a lot hotter than anything that made it to the screen.

"Rich black licorice and white pepper aromas. A syrupy entry leads to a moderately sweet medium-full body with aniseed and hot white pepper flavors. Finishes with a licorice, pepper, and chalk fade and tongue numbing warmth. Nice pure flavor and peppery intensity will impress in shots or cut through cocktails."

"Karma, Karma, Karma…chameleon!"
- by Delilah Devlin
Okay, now that Boy George's song will be in your head for the rest of the day, let's talk about karma and why you need it!
I'm a huge believer that none of my successes would have happened without my creating positive karma around me.
My son's early driving disasters taught me what karma was all about. Every time he drove somewhere he shouldn't, he had a wreck. After the third wreck that injured his sister slightly, he finally believed that something was at work.
What does good or bad karma mean to me? Karma is the "energy" that surrounds you and helps or hurts you. It's something you build—it can't just happen to you. If you do good deeds—good surrounds you. If you do ill toward others, it clings to you like Pig Pen's smutty cloud of dirt.
My sister, Elle James, and I have preached "good karma" to our fellow "Roses" at Roses Colored Glasses since before we formed the group. Whenever we were tempted to criticize another author's writing or express envy for her success, we chanted the mantra—"good karma, good karma." But it goes farther than simply not denigrating someone else's success. We firmly believe you have to contribute to others' success for karma to work for you.
Even before we were published, we formed a critique group that served our entire chapter. We offered plotting retreats to our chapter members to share what we'd learned about writing along the way and encouraged them to write the wonderful stories they plotted. We volunteered to serve as officers in our chapter and to help with the annual conference. We shared our experience and knowledge with anyone who wanted it—and we didn't wait for them to seek us out. We looked for the inexperienced or struggling authors. We recruited them.
Today, several of our "recruits" have published and placed in contests. When they have success, we're overjoyed. We don't want to keep all the success to ourselves because karma must be shared to work.
So, maybe I sound a little New Age-y, but my experience has proven to me the Buddhist belief in karma. Go create some great karma of your own. Join! Volunteer! Contribute!—however much time and energy you can to other writers.
The gift will come back to you tenfold.
"Karma, karma, karma, karma…"
Just wanted to make sure you didn't forget the song!

What a timely post and one well-worth remembering, particularly as we get into the craziness of Summer and the thousand-and-one requests. I've had the privilege of being part of the Roses group for a little while now, and your generosity never fails to astound me.
So my question is this: how do you manage to still get so much done, given how much time, attention and caring you devote to those on your loops or in your chapter? Because you amaze me!
donna bolk says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:09 am
What Jenn said, how do you do it all? I've taken two Rose classes, I'm in the tail end of one now, and the experience w/both has been wonderful. As a side benifit, I'm now in a crit. (well about to be) group. Karma, I believe in it one hundred percent. Great article, thanks for once again sharing.
Elle James says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Don't get Delilah wrong, good karma isn't always easy. The green-eyed monster can bite you from both sides and it takes real effort to keep up the mantra "good karma, good karma". Your good karma will be challenged, but you can prevail and if you do, the goodness comes back to find you. Fill your life with positivity. Yeah, Pollyanna is alive and well! Have a happy day!
Denise Golinowski says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Delilah, as a fellow Pollyanna, I completely second your post. Whether you call it karma, "what goes around, comes around," the Rule of Three, or the Golden Rule, you truly "reap what you sow." As my momma always said, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. But more so, if you don't know exactly what that person's life experience has been, then you can't possibly stand in judgement. That said, I know I've done a bit of internal judging, but I try to keep it to myself and not let it affect my behavior to others. Switching from the negative to the positive, I have found that the more I give to the community/others, the more I receive in return. And in ways that totally surprise, and often delight, me. A lot of people have helped me and if something I've learned, the hard way, can help someone going through the same thing or, better yet, avoid trouble, then I feel it's important to share. I've only been involved with your group for a short, very short time, but I can tell that you do this in spades and I'm very thankful to have been clued in to you and your group!
Rachel Lynne says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Having been involved with you and Elle this month in the Plotting Bootcamp I can truly say you two practice what you preach. Since actively pursuing my dream of writing full time I have met so many author's that feel as you do …., very refreshing as opposed to the corporate world, or for that matter , the soccor Mom world!
Thanks for being a mentor …,
ArkansasCyndi says:
June 26th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Karma! yep. I believe in it. Elle's right. It is hard not to be bitten by the green-eyed monster sometimes, but most of the time, when I step back and really look at the situation, I can see this "lucky person" worked hard for that success.
Delilah and Elle both give give give to our Arkansas Chapter. If I forget to tell you sometimes, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate it. I do.
Caffey says:

I agree with Caffey, just stopping by to say hello and show support for our local writers.
Great post.

One of the luckiest days of my life was when I sat at a table at my first RWA Conference and met Delilah and Elle. They've helped me a lot and I'm passing on what I've learned from them to others. Saluting good karma.
Delilah Devlin says:
June 26th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Thanks, everyone! I didn't intend for this to be a gushfest, but I'm smiling big right now! *smooches*
Sasha says:
June 26th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I'm a huge believer in Karma. In fact, I think I got you for a friend as a reward for some of my own good deeds. *hug*
MJ says:
June 26th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I strongly believe in Karma. I named my computer Karma so I can have a good one. Yet, I agree with Elle. It is hard to have good Karma when envy whispers negativity in your ears. When I feel like I'm allowing the green monster to posses me, I take a step back and try to think of something positive about me and the object of my envy.
Fedora says:
June 26th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Hi, Delilah,
Just popping in to say hi and I enjoyed your post. I'm not a firm subscriber to the new-agey aspects of karma, but I do believe that what you sow, you reap. So yep, that karma's going to come back to you, whatever it is you're tossing out there! It's neat though to see blessings circle around, which I'm sure they do, Delilah, being the generous person you are!
Michelle B. says:
June 26th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Hello Delilah,
Well, I'm not your mother or your sister (unfortunately or fortunately as the case may be, LOL!!) so I guess you aren't a loser, (grin)!! You are massively evil!!! MAKING THAT DARNED SONG LOOP ENDLESSLY THROUGH MY HEAD, I'M GOING TO GO AND BLAST SOME OTHER MUSIC NOW TO SHAKE IT LOOSE!!!
Brandy W says:
June 27th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I'm all about the Karma in everything I do especially driving. Don't know why but that is when it hits me the most.
Keep the good Karma flowing Delilah.

What goes around comes around. Sort of the same thing as Karma. I've always felt that you get more than the recipient when you give. I have been so lucky in what life has given me, I feel obligated to share. Helping fellow writers doesn't mean you are aiding the competition. You are becoming mentors and they are very important people.
