Deciding where you will live after you are married is a big decision. In a previous article, I discussed some of the hardships that can come from living with your parents or in-laws. However, living too close to your parents or in-laws can also be a problem.
Whether or not you should move in next door to your parents or your spouse's parents, depends a lot on the type of parents that each of you have. As Debra found out in Everybody Loves Raymond, living too close may not always be the best idea. She constantly has her in-laws checking in on her and her children.
I know many couples that live near their family. They have built a house on the family land or bought a home on the same street as the one that their parents live on.
There is nothing wrong with living close to your parents or to your in-laws. There actually can be some perks. My husband and I live close to my mother. Babysitting and special favors are very convenient when you have someone close by.
However, in some cases, closer locations mean more involvement. Your parents or in-laws are more likely to drop by unannounced. They are more likely to take notice to when you are at home and when you are not. They are more likely to know when you have company and who visits and when your lights go off at night. If these things are not a problem for you, then you will likely not have trouble living close to your family or his.
However, if you are more of a private person, you may want to choose a safe distance. Living close enough for visits is nice. Living close enough to see in each other's windows can be too much.

Tunis - Hundreds of Tunisians staged a sit-in Monday outside the constituent assembly in Tunis to demand that a new draft constitution maintain a ban on the normalization of ties with Israel.
The demonstrators called for Article 27 of Tunisia's old constitution, which declares "all forms of normalization with Zionism and the Zionist entity is a crime punishable by law" be kept in the new charter.
Israel does not have formal diplomatic relations with Tunisia, which has a small Jewish community centred on the island of Djerba.
Several years of improved relations led the two states to open interest sections in each other's countries in 1996.
But the thaw was short-lived - ousted former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali broke off ties in 2000 to protest Israel's response to the Second Intifada.
In March the leader of the ruling Islamist party Ennahda, Rached Ghannouchi ruled out normalizing ties with Israel.
"Tunisians' problem is with Zionism, not with Judaism," Ghannouchi said.
The collective of 11 organizations behind Monday's sit-in suspects that the government's position is softening.
In a sign that the clause on ties with Israel has caused unease among assembly members, the committee on rights and liberties recently handed it to the less influential committee on general principles.
"We want article 27 to be confirmed in the new constitution and for it not to be subject to foreign pressure," one of the organizers, Salah Masri told dpa.
The debate over the clause comes in the midst of a government drive to improve ties with the West following last month's attack on the US embassy in Tunis over the anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims.
Four protesters were killed when hundreds of Islamist radicals besieged the embassy and torched an American school.
The government has since promised to crack down on extremists. - Sapa-dpa

The class will be motivated to show both physical and moral courage through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as exemplified by President Joseph F. Smith.
Prepare posters of the following scriptures or prepare to write them on the chalkboard: Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:31.
Prepare to display the picture of
Joseph F. Smith in the color section and the picture of Mary Fielding Smith and her son Joseph F. Smith driving a wagon across the plains (62608; Gospel Art Picture Kit 412).
Obtain a pencil and piece of paper for each class member.
If possible, have enough copies of the Doctrine and Covenants (1981 edition) so that each class member can see the map, "The United States in 1847," on page 298.
Suggested Lesson Development
Pass the pencils and paper to the class. Ask the following question as an introduction. Tell the class to answer your question on the piece of paper but not to include their names as you will discuss the answers later.
What have you done in the past weeks that required courage?
What do you think of when you think of courage? (Accept varied answers.)
Courage is "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty" (Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary, s.v. "courage.")
Can a person develop this strength or quality? (Yes.)
Can you think of any great leader, either in or outside the Church who showed great courage? (Answers will vary and might include such names as Joseph Smith, Spencer W. Kimball, Columbus, George Washington, or astronauts. You might suggest great heroes of your own culture.)
Can you think of any great leader in or outside the Church who showed cowardice? (Most would say no; however, accept varied answers.)
Courage is a very basic quality of leadership. The world admires courage and will follow a courageous leader. The world despises cowardice.
Joseph F. Smith Was Surrounded by People of Physical and Moral Courage
Display the picture of Joseph F. Smith.
On 13 November 1838, Mary Fielding Smith gave birth to her first son, Joseph Fielding Smith, in Far West, Missouri. (Note: this is not the Joseph Fielding Smith who was tenth President of the Church, but his father, the sixth President.) Joseph was too young to fully realize what his mother and the other Saints were suffering at the hands of the Missouri mobs who were bent on exterminating the Mormons; but when he was six years old and living in Nauvoo, he came to understand the reality of the struggle and persecution: his father, Hyrum, and Uncle Joseph were killed by an angry mob in Carthage Jail. In his early years he had been a witness many times to the courage of these great men. His mother, Mary Fielding Smith, was another great example of courage and strength of character. It is not surprising that young Joseph showed these characteristics at an early age. He was not quite eight years old when he drove a yoke of oxen pulling their wagon from Montrose, Iowa, to Winter Quarters, Nebraska.
Joseph F. Smith Showed Courage in Youth
Display the picture of Joseph and his mother crossing the plains.
Tell the following incident from his life:
Joseph and his mother spent the winter of 1847–48 in Winter Quarters (now part of Omaha, Nebraska) preparing for a journey to the Salt Lake Valley.
Refer the class to the map, "The United States in 1847," on page 298 of the Doctrine and Covenants (1981 edition) and the dot, which represents Winter Quarters, just across the western border of Iowa.
When the Saints were forced out of Nauvoo and arrived in Iowa they were facing the winter months. They paused to make final preparations for crossing about one thousand miles to the Salt Lake Valley. They also established Winter Quarters as one of the way stations where food could be raised for those who were following.
Young eight-year-old Joseph was a herd boy during that difficult time and felt the responsibility of taking care of the cattle. He knew that they were necessary to their journey west.
One morning he and Thomas Burdick, another boy his age, were about one and one-half or two miles away from the village watching their cattle graze and entertaining themselves in the meantime by racing on their horses and jumping ditches. They were alarmed to suddenly see a group of Indians charging on horses toward them.
"Thomas … immediately started for home, crying, 'Indians!' 'Indians!'" (Joseph Fielding Smith, comp., Life of Joseph F. Smith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1938], p. 135).
Joseph's first impulse was to save the cattle because he knew that if they lost their cattle they couldn't leave Winter Quarters that year. He dashed off to round up the animals. Two Indians raced past him after Thomas, who for some reason jumped off his horse and ran for home. An Indian took Thomas's horse. Joseph reached the head of the herd and succeeded in turning the cattle toward home just as the Indians approached. His efforts, combined with the rush and yells of the Indians, stampeded the cattle. A number of Indians were finally able to outrun him, even though he had dodged them for some time.
"One Indian," he said, "rode upon the left side and one on the right side of me, and each took me by an arm and leg and lifted me from my horse; they then slackened their speed until my horse [ran] from under me, then they chucked me down with great violence to the ground. Several horses from behind jumped over me, but did not hurt me. My horse was secured by the Indians and without slackening speed they rode on in the direction from whence they had come" (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 136).
Courageous and determined, young Joseph had detained the Indians long enough for men from the settlement to arrive and frighten the Indians away. One horse was never found, but the cattle were all saved due to Joseph's courage.
When he was nine years old he drove one of their wagons with a double team of four oxen to the Salt Lake Valley, where he again was a responsible herd boy. During all the time he was in charge of the cattle, he never lost one due to negligence. One time he bravely saved a calf from howling wolves.
Courage Comes from Faith
Where did young Joseph F. Smith get this courage? (Answers may vary and might include: his mother, from his father and uncle, from Heavenly Father.)
What gives us courage? (Faith.)
Poster or chalkboard
Display the posters or write Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:31 on the chalkboard.
Faith is the basis of courage and Joseph had seen much faith demonstrated by his mother. He often told his own children the following incident to explain why he had so much faith in prayer.
While they were living in Winter Quarters, young Joseph went with his mother and her brother, Joseph Fielding, on a trip to St. Joseph, Missouri. They were going to buy a load of provisions for the anticipated journey from Winter Quarters to the Salt Lake Valley. On the way home they camped one night not far from some men with a herd of cattle. To prevent their oxen from getting mixed with the other herd and being driven away, they left their oxen yoked when they turned them out to graze that night. The next morning they couldn't find the oxen. Joseph and his uncle searched all morning and came back to camp to report that the oxen were lost. Joseph reached the wagon first and recorded, "'As I approached I saw my mother kneeling down in prayer. I halted for a moment and then drew gently near enough to hear her pleading with the Lord not to suffer us to be left in this helpless condition, but to lead us to recover our lost team, that we might continue our travels in safety. When she arose from her knees, I was standing nearby. The first expression I caught upon her precious face was a lovely smile, which discouraged as I was, gave me renewed hope and an assurance I had not felt before'" (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 132).
His mother encouraged Joseph and his uncle to eat while she took a walk to look for the animals. Her brother protested because they had looked everywhere, but she just smiled and headed directly for the river. One of the men from the cowherd greeted her and said, "'Madam, I saw your oxen over in that direction [pointing in the wrong direction] about daybreak'" (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 133). Joseph's mother didn't even turn her head but continued on her way. Seeing this, the man rode hurriedly toward his herd that was being rounded up and quickly drove them away. Sister Smith found the oxen tied to some willows down by the river bank where they were concealed from view. Mary Fielding Smith had no trouble trusting the Lord instead of man. (See Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, pp. 132–33.)
Not long after, during their journey to the Salt Lake Valley, Joseph saw another instance of her faith. Having traveled most of the way to Zion, one of the oxen was so tired and sick that he lay down on the ground. His mother produced a bottle of consecrated oil and asked her brother and another man to administer to the ox because it was so necessary to their journey. "These brethren poured oil on the head of the ox and then laid their hands upon it … just as they would have done if the animal had been a human being. Immediately the ox got up and within a very few moments again pulled in the yoke as if nothing had ever happened" (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 150).
His beloved mother died when he was only thirteen, but already he had seen so many examples of courage, faith, and integrity from her that he could build his own life on them all his years.
What kind or degree of courage would you need at the age of fifteen to go on a mission across the ocean among people whose language you didn't know (there were no missionary training centers in those days) and whose food and customs were strange and unfamiliar? (Allow varied comments.)
What about going without purse or scrip (meaning without money)?
Fifteen-year-old Joseph F. Smith was called on a mission to the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii. After he arrived he became ill, but he used this time to learn the language so he could talk to the natives. He learned the language in one hundred days. He also learned to love the people and even their food. Some of the other missionaries gave up and went home. Some felt that only the Americans and Europeans, not the natives, should be converted, but Joseph knew that the Lord, through President Brigham Young, had sent him to bring the light of the gospel to these loving, generous people—the natives of the Islands.
Three years later, and still younger than today's young men who are called to go on missions, he was released to return home. On the return trip, just as on the way to the Islands, it was necessary for the elders to stop and find jobs in the harvest fields or elsewhere to pay for clothes and food and to help them return to Salt Lake City. When they got as far as San Bernardino, Joseph was hired as a teamster to drive a team across the desert to Salt Lake.
At this time there were strong anti-Mormon feelings. Brigham Young and the Mormon people were blamed for the terrible Mountain Meadow Massacre where some non-Mormon immigrants traveling through Utah to California were killed in 1857. Also, the U.S. Army was on its way to Utah because of false charges made by government officials from Utah who were antagonistic toward the Latter-day Saints. "There were many men scattered abroad who had murder in their hearts" who boasted that they would kill any Mormons they found (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 188). Because of this, Church members traveled in little companies for safety.
Joseph F. and his company had stopped to camp one afternoon when a band "of drunken men rode into the camp … , cursing and swearing and threatening to kill any 'Mormons' that came within their path. … Some of the brethren when they heard them coming had cautiously gone into the brush down the creek, out of sight. Joseph F. was … gathering wood for the fire. [He walked up to the campfire to deposit his wood. One drunken ruffian with a pistol in his hand said] that it was his duty to [kill] every 'Mormon' he should meet. … In a loud, angry voice [he demanded from Joseph], 'Are you a … Mormon?' [Joseph ignored the gun aimed at him,] and looking the ruffian in the eye … boldly answered, 'Yes siree; dyed in the wool, true blue, through and through.'
"This [surprised] the man; and … he grasped [Elder Smith's] hand and said,
"'Well, you are the … pleasantest man I ever met! Shake, young fellow, I am glad to see a man that stands up for his convictions'" (Smith, Life of Joseph F. Smith, p. 189). The man seemed to be the leader of the group, for when he rode off the rest followed him. President Smith said he fully expected to be shot when he admitted being a Mormon, but he did it anyway.
What kind of courage, physical or moral, did Joseph F. show in this instance? (Both.)
Can a person be afraid and still have courage? (After class members have given their opinions, read the following statement of Elder Marion D. Hanks'.)
"Courage is not the absence of fear; true courage is manifest in bravely doing what has to be done in spite of fears or foes or the foolishness of the crowd or the taunts of the group. True courage is doing the right thing in spite of the odds or opposition or apprehension" (in Vital Quotations, comp. Emerson Roy West [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1968], p. 74).
Even his later life wasn't easy for President Smith. During his presidency there was much opposition to the Church. The anti-Mormon political party in Utah, using a local newspaper, spread throughout the country the impression that President Joseph F. Smith was a person to be despised. He ignored the railings of his enemies without any retaliation. He said that if the Prophet Joseph Smith could endure the persecutions he suffered, and if the Savior could endure it and suffer in silence, so could he. He knew that in time the truth would triumph. His faith gave him courage. During all this time the Church continued to grow. Satan and his servants could not stop it. The Latter-day Saints loved, honored, and respected this great man of courage. Even many of his enemies honored him before his life was over.
Scripture discussion
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:10).
It takes great courage to rise above the temptations and adversities of life. With faith we can do so as did President Joseph F. Smith.
Testimony and Challenge
Bear testimony to the truth of faith bringing courage to face life's problems. Challenge class members to exhibit courage in their own lives.

I had Radiesse dermal filler injected a couple of days ago in NLF and ML areas. My Dr mixed the injection with a numbing agent, which I've heard reduces the life of the product, but I guess time will tell.
But the spa was having a half off sale on Radiesse so the one shot I needed was only $325 (orginially $650)and since it was my first and if it doesn't last then my lesson was learned at a substantially reduced price.
I was really red and swelling immediatly after the injection and remained slightly swollen and red for a day or two. I now only have one small bruise along the jaw line which I can cover with makeup. I wanted restylene injected in my eye area but the Dr said I was not a good candidate for it and would be much happier trying Obgai Elestiderm before I considered additional procedures.
I orginally had a consult with a very well know female PS in Cincinnati who quoted over $3000 worth of dermal filler shots..two in NLF and ML, and one split between the eye areas. I am very happy with the ONE shot I needed and feel one and a half on each side that was recommended would have been way to much.
I really appreciated Dr's pateince and time in explaining why I was and was not a good canidate for certain fillers in specific areas.

Getting over his near miss in last month's Viking Classic got a whole lot easier for Marc Turnesa on Sunday.
Turnesa shot a 4-under-par 68 to collect his first PGA Tour victory in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. The 30-year-old former North Carolina State star finished with a tournament-record 25-under 263 for a one-stroke victory over Matt Kuchar, breaking the previous tournament record set by 2007 champion George McNeill (23-under 264).
The victory came a little less than a month after Turnesa lost in a playoff to Will MacKenzie in Madison, Miss. After that, he missed consecutive cuts in the Turning Stone Resort Championship and Valero Texas Open before getting back in the hunt at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.
"It was disappointing, but you know what? I did the best I could, and it didn't work out," Turnesa told reporters. "You just got to get over it and move on. There's a tournament every week out here, and you just got to take the positive out of it and move on."
The wire-to-wire victory earned Turnesa $738,000 and helped him be one of three players who were able to climb into the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list, joining Michael Allen and Davis Love III. The top 125 players on the final money list receive exempt status for 2009.
Allen (70), Chad Campbell (67) and John Mallinger (68) all tied for third at 22-under 266. Tim Herron, who had the round of the day with a 10-under 62, tied for sixth with Love (67) at 21-under 267.
Turnesa also performed late-season heroics in 2007, winning the Nationwide Tour's Miccosukee Championship on Oct. 28. The victory, which came in the last regular season event of the year, helped Turnesa earn his PGA Tour status for 2008 as one of the Nationwide Tour's 25 graduates.
"It was a great week. I don't think I need to tell you that, but I just putted well all week, and I hit it pretty well," Turnesa said. "To win this golf tournament means a lot, especially after coming up short a few weeks ago. It's been a great week, and it's a great tournament and a great golf course."
Turnesa became the fourth rookie and the 12th first-time winner on the PGA Tour in 2008. He also became the eighth first-time winner — and the fifth consecutive — in the tournament, joining Jim Furyk (1995), Tiger Woods (1996), Phil Tataurangi (2002), Andre Stolz (2004), West Short Jr. (2005), Troy Matteson (2006) and McNeill (2007).
"I know I'll be playing on the PGA Tour for two more years, so I'm excited about that," Turnesa said. "To be honest with you, that's been weighing on me more than anything, is not having a job out here and the uncertainty.
"I don't know how it'll change my career or if it will at all, but it's just nice to have a little bit of cushion because it's something I've never had before."
The runner-up finish for Kuchar was the second of his career, with the first coming at the 2001 Texas Open at LaCantera. The former Georgia Tech All-American posted his lone victory on tour at the 2002 Honda Classic.
Kuchar said he was impressed with Turnesa, who used a birdie on No. 17 to gain a two-shot cushion.
"I think really should have won (the Viking Classic)," Kuchar said. "It's great to see a guy bounce back and get that victory a month later. That was awesome."
October 20, 2008
Davis Love III, who played the final 57 holes of the Children's Miracle Network Classic without a bogey, finished at 25-under 263 in the season-ending event played at the Walt Disney World Golf Resort in Florida. It has been a long road back for Love, who severely sprained his ankle late last year. After tearing ligaments, he needed surgery, and he's spent much of this year rehabilitating the injury.

In New Orleans, Santa Claus shops at Maison Blanche with a little help from Mr. Bingle, his reindeer can be swapped out with alligators, he frequents the Crescent City Farmers Market, and he has a taste for fine Italian deserts. So if you think you may have landed on the naughty list this year, or if you just want to be extra nice to old St. Nick, this recipe for Cuccidata, delicious Italian fig cookies, will help ensure everything you want is beneath the tree on Christmas morning. As a special Christmas bonus, these cookies are also great for parties or as a gift for that one relative you just can't shop for every year.
Cuccidata (Italian fig cookies)
- 1 14-ounce package dried figs (cut off stems)
- 1 8-ounce package dates
- 1 cup candied mixed fruit
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 fresh orange
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 whole eggs, well beaten (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons almond extract or vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup cream
- food coloring, always pastel colors (optional)
- colored sugar or sprinkles (optional)
To prepare Filling: Use a food grinder to grind figs, dates, mixed fruit, pecans, raisins, and orange together. (I use the grinder attachment of my stand mixer, periodically putting a piece of the fresh orange through to keep it from jamming.) Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use. (See Note.)
To prepare Dough: Combine butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl; cream with an electric mixer. (It will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved.)
In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, and almond extract; mix well. Fold egg mixture into creamed mixture and beat for approximately 5 minutes.
In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture until dough is the consistency of putty; mix well. Roll dough into a large ball and cover with a towel. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Break off a piece of dough about the size of a baseball. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to form the dough into a roll about one foot long and the diameter of a broomstick. Press the roll to flatten it. Spoon filling in the center of the flattened roll, then pull the edges of the dough together over the filling and pinch to seal. Gently roll again.
Cut roll diagonally into cookies 1-1/2 inches long. Place cookies seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Check to make sure cookies are cooked through. Cookies may be iced when cool.
To prepare Icing: Combine sugar and cream in a bowl; mix well. Add food coloring if desired. Frost the top of the cookies using a brush or your fingers. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.
Note: Prepare the filling one day or so before making the cookies. You can also add orange marmalade, almonds, or dried cherries to the filling.
Makes 4 dozen cookies

A mum and three young children are counting their blessings – after this digger came crashing down into their garden.
Claire Cook was stunned when she got a call from her landlord to tell her the JCB had smashed through her fence, destroying her kids' toys and narrowly missing the family's pet rabbit.
Thankfully, the 26-year-old and her three young daughters were out when the machine fell into her garden and that of her two neighbours; a young mum and a woman in her 80s.
But it's left Claire shaken and suffering from nightmares at the thought of what could have happened had the family been playing outside.
Claire, who lives on Lysander Drive, in Walker, with her three daughters Ellie-May, six, Summer, four, and Brooke, two, said: "We were out at the soft play area when I got a call from my landlord at around 10am saying a digger had toppled over into my garden.
"I couldn't believe what he was saying. I was like 'You what? That's impossible!'
"We got home at about 1pm and I was just in shock when I saw it. You instantly think of the bairns.
"They play outside all the time and it just doesn't bare thinking about what could have happened.
"To be honest, for the first 24 hours I was just in shock. After that, I couldn't stop thinking about the 'What ifs'. I've been having nightmares thinking about it.
"The kids were a bit excited when I first told them what had happened but when they saw it and their damaged toys, they got upset.
"Thankfully, it missed the pet rabbit.
"I just don't know how something like that could happen. It crashed through three gardens. One of my neighbours has a young daughter, so she could have easily been outside, and my other neighbour is an elderly lady. The digger actually knocked a few tiles off her roof, although, thankfully, it didn't hit her house.
"It did completely destroy her shed and it's destroyed my kids' toys. It's also smashed my garden table and smashed some paving slabs.
"I just can't believe it. It makes me shake when I think about it."
The digger belonged to Gleeson Homes, who have been developing the area to the rear of Lysander Drive for about six months.
Claire added: "It was Friday morning when it happened and, initially, the builders said they wouldn't be able to move it until this week.
"But the site manager did eventually come round and apologised and it was moved by 4pm on Friday.
"They are going to replace the paving slabs and the shed and other damaged things but that's not the point. It could have been so much worse. It really doesn't bare thinking about.
"It's annoying now as the kids are obviously off school and they can't play outside as there's a massive hole in the fence."
The Chronicle contacted Gleeson but was told there was nobody available to comment.

Hello Ariyans...back with a new part...back to back...i am in a crazy state today...so the result is this...
pls read and comment on it..
PS: its a crazy OS...so expect all crazy things before you start reading it...yes, thats a disclaimer...dont tell me that i didnt warn you...
Thanks to all who liked it and commented on it...
Part 10:
Arjun snapped her short and replied back casually "ek wahi nahi….aise bohat saare baatein hai jisske wajeh se mujhe ghussa aatha hai…aur itna ghussa ke main saamne waale ko goliyon se udhaa bhi saktha hoom…..[looks up at her]samjhi ya samjhaavum?
Riya was stunned at his reply and immediately sank into the chair….
He looked at her response and commented "that's better!"
She was scared by his threat and sat down before him but she couldn't keep her mouth shut…..aakhir Riya ki izzat ka sawaal tha…how could she give up and make him win so easily?…She spoke up in a slightly cracked up voice
"aap mujhe dhamki deh rahe ho?"
He didn't bother to look at her but just replied "tumhe aise lagaa?"
She felt a bit relaxed thinking that he is going to apologize and take back his threat but no, he didn't do that…instead he spoke up again "dhamki nahi sacch tha….main sacch mein aisa kar saktha hoom…aur woh mera sabse badaa problem hai….."
He looked at her to see her expressions and he liked what he saw there….it was worth watching…..And as if answering to her unvoiced question, he replied "I was helping you Riya….tum mere problems ki list jo banaa rahi thi na? isse sabse uphar dhaal dho…"
Riya smirked at his sarcasm and replied with a faking smile "ok sir"
He shook his head in total amusement and continued his work!
Though he would never admit, Arjun was beginning to enjoy her ever bickering self……She was indeed different from the others…..He knew that she already had an idea about his past and about the tragedy which haunts him till date….even then, she doesn't behave sympathetic or try to empathize with him…..Right from the first day, she always behaves casual with him, pulls his leg, argues and fights with him for her stand!
Nobody who knew him and his past did that…..Though he had alienated himself from the rest, he was liking it when she behaved casual with him….like peers, colleagues, like team mates! He had missed all that when she distanced herself and tried to avoid and ignore him…..And today, he had the perfect opportunity to get that back! So he forced her to sit there right in front of him! He was waiting to get his answers!
As he immersed himself into the report, she was busy smacking him mentally for making her sit there and making her hear all his sarcastic snide comments….…..
Moreover, she had nothing much to do there except sit and wait patiently for his next order…..
She took the paper weight in her hand and was rolling it to and fro between her hands…She had this urge to throw it on his face and vent out her anger as she thought to herself "na jaane kya samajhtha hai apne aapko… khudko bhagwan samajhtha hai…jo woh sochtha hai wahi sahi aur baaki sab galath…..sab usski orders lo aur slaves ke tarah kaam karo…..dil toh kartha hai ke throw maar dhoom….akdu kaheeka!!"
Her thought process and Mission-Bash ASR (of course all inside her own little heart) came to an abrupt halt when he voiced out sternly….
"usse mere mooh pe maarne ki nahi soch rahi ho na?"
She stopped juggling the paper weight when he asked that but then replied with a sweet yet false smile "aap khaafi haddh tak saamne waale ke mann padh lethe hai, Impressive!"
Arjun put the file on the table and stood up and leaned closed to her with his hands on the table….his face facing her……She wouldn't agree but yes she was frightened when he did that…..He replied back "sirf mann hi nahi….bohat kuch paddh saktha hoom….aur woh kya kya hai jaan na chahogi?" he finished it by raising his eyebrows!
She didn't speak up but just looked at him…..he added as he circled his index finger around her boundaries of her face "jaise ke tumaara yeh chehra….isspe saaf saaf likha hai ke tum darr gayi! Am I right? Or Am I right?"
Without a reply, she just gulped thinking what was he intending to do…..the office was empty except for the 2 of them……None to help her if he even tried to kill or rape her!
Her screams for help would not even reach beyond the four walls of this cabin…..even if it did go out, there was nobody out there to help her! Damn!
All sorts of bad thoughts came running into her head!
Arjun's POV: It was good to get her to a state where she was searching for replies once in a while…..else she never shut her bak baks!
He always wondered how she managed to keep talking continuously…..definitely a talent he lacked, he used to smile to himself thinking that!
He really was enjoying this and smirked at her frightened facial expressions when she managed to voice out "dekhiye…aap aisa kuch matth karenge…….ek choti si galthi keliye itna badaa sazaa?? Its not fair, haan? Ghusse mein kuch karke phir patchtaane se koyi fayda nahi…..mujhe jaane dijiye…..plzz…."
He could understand where her thoughts were running to…The girl who had daringly dragged him into her room and taunted him was now pleading before him….
No, he wasn't letting this go so easily…He decided to tease her a little…
He took his revolver and posed to wipe it and check the bullets sending a fright up her whole body……She tried to get up from her chair…..and was getting ready to run out of the room when he gestured with his revolver pointing to her direction……" beito…"
She had no choice but sit back reluctantly…..but she kept looking at the door and thought of all possibilities of an escape from there…..
He placed the revolver back on the table…."tum kahi yeh toh nahi soch rahi ke main tumhe goli maarne waala hoom…[when she didn't reply, he continued]daro matth…tumhe maarke mera kya fayda??……aaj kuch aur hi karne ka iraadha hai!"
Riya instantly thought the other possibility…..and shrieked out "nahi….." and instantly sprinted to the door……
He was quicker…as if anticipating her move, he grabbed her back and pinned her to the wall right near the door……"kahaan bhaag rahi ho Riya…agar maine kuch socha hai phir woh karke hi rehunga….."
[To be continued]
so how was it?? pls do reply!

As disappointing as the Flyers' first-round exit was, there is at least a silver lining. After his play over the final four games of the series, the consensus amongst Flyers fans is a cautious optimism that Steve Mason may indeed be the franchise goalie this club has been seeking for a long, long time.
The soon-to-be-26-year-old posted a 2.50 goals against average and .917 save percentage in 61 regular season games and a 1.97 GAA/.939 SV% against the Rangers in the playoffs.
On Friday, Mason took to Instagram to thank the fans.
I just want to thank the fans of Philly for making my first full year in town one to remember. It was truly a blast to play infront of a packed house every night. Already looking forward to next year and becoming a better goalie and a better team! Lots to look forward to.#thanksforthesupport #greatfans #packedhouse#seeyasoon
While a nice touch, we're a little disappointed his thank you didn't include more George the bulldog:
George Mason, a fine American name.
Separately, will any of these guys shoot the puck on the power play?

Well it looks like the NYTIMES has finally decided for at least a week that chocolate is worth examining with some depth.
I think its a pretty good article on varietals and origin bars, although not suprisingly it doesn't go into any depth about the difference themselves. Most of the people quoted seem to know what they're talking about.
This makes me happy for today [:D]
August 1, 2006
It's a great introductory article, especially for those who are still new to this. I think the information is great, and a lot of different companies are listed. Lots of terms are used and the comparison to wine will surely spark a lot of people's interest. But I do agree that there should have been more information regarding flavors of certain chocolates.

A watch takes a distinctively special place among celebrities accessories. One may say that a watch is the only standard of luxury consumption. Yachts & jets are hidden from the public eye. However, a wristwatch is something that everybody can see every day and Elvis was no exception to the rule. Part of his jewelry collection included many watches from the novelty handmade guitar watch to Omega to Longines to a gold Rolex
Christmas present Rolex Watch given to Elvis Presley is to be auctioned. The diamond-set Rolex and was given to Elvis by his long time manager, Tom Parker, on the Christmas 1976 before Presley's death. It is engraved, "ELVIS MERRY CHRISTMAS YOUR PAL COL. TOM PARKER"
The Rolex watch, being auctioned by Christie's is a FAKE! EPN email from Loanne Parker confirms… the Rolex was never given to Elvis by the Colonel, nor did Elvis ever wear it. She also noted… The last thing Colonel would give Elvis was jewelry. Colonel was appalled at the amount of money Elvis spent on jewelry. Colonel never referred to himself as Elvis' "pal". That was not their relationship. A gift would not be engraved "Col. Tom Parker". He would have simply sign "Colonel"
Omega Black Dial Constellation Calendar watch is up for auction at Antiquorum Auctioneers June 12 New York was gifted to Elvis' friend and musician Charlie Hodge who handed Elvis scarves on stage Hodge recalls " several times I told Elvis how beautiful his watch was and he took it off his wrist and gave it to me."

Elvis Hamilton Ventura Watch
In April, 1956 Elvis Presley played Las Vegas for the first time, the casino boss Frank Williams presented him with an $800 diamond-studded watch. Elvis Presley was so thrilled that he bombarded Williams with letters of thanks. Elvis liked watches. Look at his wrist in any photograph and you'll spot a carefully chosen model. In 1960 he took to wearing the distinctive style, Hamilton Ventura. While the offbeat arrowhead-shaped dial sat comfortably within the design aesthetic of the time in 1957 as the world's first electrical, battery-powered watch, the Ventura was by then the coolest timepiece in America. It had been presented to Presley to wear in the film Blue Hawaii, and he took to wearing it off set too.

We start a three hour sightseeing tour including the Santa Catalina Convent that was founded on the second of October in 1580 and has an extension of 20000 square meters and was constructed in the second half of the XVIth Century. The Convent, in which there are still nuns living in cloisters, is a walled small city with narrow streets, passages, stair cases and small squares. Then we will visit the Plaza de Armas the Jesuit Church of La Compañía and its beautifully-painted Chapel, the Church of San Francisco, the San Lazaro District, Selva Alegre and the typical Districts of Cayma and Yanahuara for a magnificent view of the Misti Volcano. Return to the hotel. Overnight stay.
Day 2: Breakfast. Campina - Mill of Sabandia. Located at 9 kilometers from the City, it is famous for its Colonial mill that dates from the XVIIth Century, where formerly the grains were ground that soon were distributed in all the South of Peru. In this place, of beautiful countryside, is the House of the Founder of Arequipa, Manuel Garcia de Carbajal. By its rustic airs, its showy pre-Hispanic agricultural terraces, its novo Hispanic and ten sided Republican large mansions, and the imposing presence of the volcanos Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu; Sabandía becomes an exquisite corner, with architectonic jewels of great historical importance. Lunch in a typical restaurant. Return to hotel and overnight.

Apple's Boot Camp specifically supports Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and unfortunately not Linux. Running Linux is a hack, albeit a very respectable one! (You could seemingly substitute "Linux" in your question for hundreds (if not thousands) of other x86 OS's some of which Apple built in the past like NeXTStep!)
OK argument aside, from what I've read here the Boot Camp scanner detects a Windows partition that has a copy of boot.ini. That won't ordinarily be on a Linux partition that sort of answers the 'why'. The 'how to make it work' is to build a "Boot Camp VM" and a virtual disk with a raw partition specification. The raw partition disk utility is under /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator. If you need a copy of the VM configuration (vmx) file I can add that as an attachment from my normal Boot Camp VM.

url=http://fearandloath.us/vmware-fusion-bootcamp-partition.htmlHere[/url] and url=http://taylorbanks.com/blog/ubuntu-on-the-macbook-pro-physical-virtual-or-both/here[/url] are two links about creating raw-disk-based Linux VMs.
(With a little tweaking, you can even improve it, creating a VM with the name Ubuntu, exactly as if it were created from within the Fusion GUI: just delete the virtual hard drive in the first step and then choose Ubuntu as the name for the raw disk in the third step (at least, IIRC: it was some time ago...).)
I did it some months ago with Ubuntu 8.04, and everything worked well, except for some little glitch with the VMware Tools: IIRC, between every native and VM reboot, a new xorg.conf file was created (thus accumulating them in /etc/X11), so it didn't quite remember everything (as instead happens in a "real" Windows Boot Camp VM) and the keyboard layout was reset to US English; sorry, I don't remember the actual details anymore, but the essence is that the Tools integration wasn't 100% seamless between "native" and "virtual machine" reboots.
Maybe that is already solved or could be improved upon...?
Anyway, raw disk VM creation and management from within the Fusion GUI would be great thing!
5. Re: VMWare Fusion and Linux Bootcamp Partitionssighmon Dec 9, 2008 3:50 AM (in response to SvenGus)
FWIW, I used the fearandloath.us link to create an Ubuntu VM. I got it to work fine without any great issue. If you managed to install Ubuntu on its own partition, you should be able to follow the instructions and get it booting in Ubuntu.
Oh. I installed Ubuntu on an extFS partition. This means that I'm using ExtFSManager on the Mac side to see the extFS partition http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/.
6. Re: VMWare Fusion and Linux Bootcamp PartitionsSvenGus Dec 9, 2008 7:35 AM (in response to sighmon)
The Mac OS X Ext2 Filesystem, while working also for me on both Tiger and Leopard (but read-only for Ext3 volumes) and with a very handy preference pane, sadly seems to have become an unmaintained project for more than two years, now.
FYI, there is also a MacFUSE plugin - based on url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fuseext2fuse[/url] - being worked on, as can be seen from url=http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/browse_thread/thread/be92e719459824bc/0c7af937d4d4e6de?lnk=gst&q=ext2#0c7af937d4d4e6dehere[/url], on their forum; the author of the Mac OS X package is the same who maintains the Mac OS X NTFS-3G package (and also HFSExplorer, etc.), so it should hopefully become something promising and a little more usable, sooner or later.
Thus, eventually we could, for example, even be able to mount Linux VMware disk images in the Finder...

I'm trying to do a simmilar thing.
I have my drive split into 5 partitions.
MacOS X 10.6 | windows 7 (32gb) | Ubuntu | BT4 | MacOS X 10.6 (Test Enviroment 32gb)
I can boot into any partition i want by holding down the "option" key and it works great but once in OS X i'd like to be able to load the partitions as a VM like I can do with the bootcamp partition. I've looked into this raw disk creater utility but can't get it to read my disk and don't know what I'm doing wrong. below is what a few of my command line options were.

Six Dancing and Singing Toys for the Holidays with Video
Remember Big Mouth Billy? Yes, you do.
The holiday season has crept upon us once again. There is nothing kids love more than toys that can bust a move. Dancing toys have always made the list of hot commodities during the Christmas season. Even some adults are amused and intrigued by their favorite characters moving to the beat. Here's a list of some of the best dancing toys of the past and present.
This Japanese toy was originally developed as a therapeutic device for children with autism. Keepon appears to just be a simple toy; it looks like two tennis balls stacked on top of each other. When the Keepon hears any genre of music played it responds accordingly and dances to the beat better than most humans. This one should be a favorite for kids and adults.

Dancing with the Stars inspired Mickey Mouse in 2010. Mickey grooves to his own music all while hyping up his audience by clapping his hands. The toy dances to a variety of music genres including Latin and Techno. Mickey even takes it back to the old school and does the Moonwalk.
Dancing Gizmo
This dancing Gizmo toy sits on the fine line of cute and creepy. If you're a fan of the movie Gremlins then perhaps Gizmo swaying back and forth while singing his signature theme won't come off as scary. On the other hand, dancing Gizmo could very well scare the shit out of some kid that has never had the privilege of seeing classic 80s movies.
"YMCA" Elmo
Elmo always wins around holiday season. No matter what he's doing, kids will want that toy. Elmo toys have done numerous styles of dancing and singing. There has been a "Hokey Pokey" and a Chicken Dance Elmo. A favorite of mine is "YMCA" Elmo, not only because the Village People song is awesome but also because Elmo's moves are precise and will teach children one of the easiest and best dances ever. Although the lyrics are changed from "Y.M.C.A." to "E.L.M.O" the intentions are still great.
Fijit Friends
The Fijit Friends are another set of interactive toys that respond to touch and music. Not only does Fijit dance to it's own music but like the Keepon, the Fijit is open to dance whatever you like to listen to. The Fijit even talks and checks up on what you consider the hottest tunes to be. It's the best friend every child or lonely adult wants.
Homer and Mumble dancing together
These two toys are from the past so you may only be able to purchase them as collectables online. Mumble from Happy Feet just does a lot of shuffling when prompted but he's so adorable it's almost hard to deny his effort. Homer is a bit more complex because not only doe his hips sway back and forth but also he performs the first verse of "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugar Hill Gang.

With the ballclub's current makeup, Cleveland can't trade Lee right now
Once again the Indians are one of the majors' most disappointing teams. Once again they have the defending AL Cy Young winner, again a lefty who began the season terribly and is now pitching superbly. Once again they have a piece -- that high-end lefty starter -- who through trade can change a playoff race.
But the Indians cannot do this year with
At this time last year, the Indians were already heavily scouting the systems of the potential suitors for Sabathia. But remember where the Indians were last year, and not just under .500 and -- at best -- a Hail Mary from contention. Sabathia was a looming free agent and Cleveland had zero chance of re-signing him. But they had Lee pitching like the Cy Young winner he would become. Also,
In other words, the Indians knew Sabathia would not be part of their 2009 team whether they kept him for all of 2008 or traded him during the season. But at the moment they did trade Sabathia to the Brewers last July 7, they could imagine still having a rotation fronted by Lee and Carmona in 2009 and, thus, being a contender.
However, they cannot project the same for 2010 if they trade Lee, who has a very reasonable $8 million option for next year. Obviously, in that scenario, the 2010 Indians would not have Sabathia and Lee. Since Carmona came off the DL to pitch last July 26, he has started 24 games and produced the worst ERA in the majors at 7.52 (minimum 100 innings) while also walking (73) more batters than he has struck out (71). He is so out of whack that he was optioned all the way to rookie ball to work at the Indians' minor league facility in Goodyear, Ariz.
In addition, the Indians' top pitching prospect,
So if the Indians trade Lee between now and July 31, they are not only damning any long-shot chance they have to get back into the AL Central race this year. They also are pretty much erasing contention next season. That might be more tolerable if they were playing in the AL East, where they would have to be thinking of ways to contend for the long term against the Red Sox and Yankees. But they play in the tepid AL Central.
"There is no reason in the world they can't compete in their division next year," an AL executive said. "At some point it has to be about winning and not selling off parts for a sunny day in the future."
Also, front offices should not generally make decisions based on the emotional reactions of their fans. But it would be an incredible breach of faith with Indian supporters to trade the Cy Young winner a second year in a row while still asking them to spend on tickets in a tough economy.
"A factor [in the decision] is your covenant with your fans," Indians GM
That trade does not appear to exist. That's why no one should expect Lee to be dealt. It is in Shapiro's DNA as a GM to at least listen to offers. This is a GM, after all, who traded not only Sabathia during the midst of a huge season, but in June 2002 traded
But even Indian officials will tell you that their farm system was in much worse shape at the time of the Colon and Sabathia trades, necessitating the need to deal established players to build up the prospect base. The deals last season involving Sabathia and
And that is why a trade for Lee almost certainly is not going to happen, at least not during this season. Because to move him, several executives concur, the Indians would have to get back an elite pitching prospect that is major league-ready now, such as Atlanta's
You can still imagine teams trying to tempt Cleveland, considering that the ace-level pitching trade market seems to worsen by the day. The most available player from this category, San Diego's
Right now the best-looking starter in the trade market is
However, Indians officials say they have yet to field a serious offer for Lee. And those same officials are saying they want to give the 2009 team a chance, even at a moment when Cleveland (29-38) is challenging for the worst record in the AL. Over the next few weeks, the Indians anticipate five key players returning from the DL -- Sizemore,
And their chances are heightened, to some degree, because of their division. Keep in mind that the Indians have already completed their season series against the Yankees and Rays, and played five of their nine games vs. the Red Sox. Those are arguably the three best teams in the league. The division-leading Tigers still have 14 games against that trio and the White Sox have 19. The Twins have just three, but Minnesota already has played 17 games against the weak West (10-7), while the Indians have played just three, albeit all three losses.
With the chance to get healthier both physically and against a weaker set of opponents, the Indians want more time to try and contend in 2009. They can't do that without Lee, and they almost certainly couldn't contend without him in 2010 either.
If at this time next year, Cleveland is not in contention again then Lee will be more like Sabathia, in his walk year with the risk-averse Indians unwilling to give long-term big money to a pitcher who turns 32 in August 2010. At that moment, the Indians can trade Lee. But between now and then, it would be foolish (and unfair to fans) for the Indians to do anything but keep Lee.

Contractors are putting the finishing touches on north Mississippi's Tanglefoot Trail.
The 44.5-mile long multi-use recreational trail will be the region's answer to South Mississippi's Longleaf Trace recreational trail.
Tanglefoot runs from New Albany to Houston. The trail is an old Gulf Mobile & Ohio railroad.
Betsey Hamilton, chairperson of the GM&O Rails to Trails Recreational District, said in an interview this week that the trail will be ready to use "by football season."
She said the wet winter and spring delayed construction, pushing back the original opening date, set for early this year. Contractors ran into another significant roadblock when they started working on a bridge near New Albany whose ballasts were in worse shape than first thought.
"I wish I could tell you exactly when but it's going to depend on inspections, check list and how fast that gets done," she said.
A $9.6-million federal transportation enhancement grant, to go with a combined $450,000 in state money, funded the project.
Hamilton most of what remains are the trail's whistle stops, under construction in Ecru, Algoma, Ingomar and New Houlka. All the asphalt has been laid, except for a small patch near New Albany that was delayed due to work on an adjacent overpass.
"That was kind of a hold-up," Hamilton said. "We've been told that as soon as can get their equipment (for work on the adjacent overpass) out that we think we'll be able to open the trail underneath. That little connection is probably the last piece of asphalt unless there was a section I was not aware of."
Until then, the trail is under the purview of general contractors Glasgow Construction, of Guin, Ala., and is closed to the public.
Figures unveiled in 2006, when conceptual work on the project started, put annual visitors at 100,000 with an economic impact of just shy of $5 million for the three counties the trail traverses.
"And a lot of that was taken from the Longleaf," Hamilton said. "I don't think ours will be that big yet. We're not Hattiesburg, but I think it will have a tremendous impact."
Hamilton said there were several things working in the trail's favor, as far as attracting visitors. Chief among them was the new Interstate 22, the old U.S. Highway 78 that runs by the trail's northern gate in New Albany. The Natchez Trace runs by the trail's middle and southern portion, which ends in Houston. "Our positioning is good," Hamilton said.
Development related to the trail is another issue.
Mississippi State's Carl Small Town Center is partnering with the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University to figure out ways to handle the anticipated traffic increase once Tanglefoot opens. The schools will be using first-of-its-kind technology to do it.
A $120,000 grant awarded by the Southeast Transportation Research, Innovation, Development and Education Center will fund a study that will allow researchers to run test scenarios of possible development related to the trail.
Carl Center director Dr. John Poros told the Mississippi Business Journal last year researchers will spend 15 months compiling data, and plan to issue their findings in a report in December of this year. Poros added that one of the primary goals of the study is to help save communities money and improve their air quality as people begin to use Tanglefoot.
"What we will do is come up with a series of scenarios of how they might develop, and we'll take those and run them in a GIS-based transportation program that the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill has put together. It will model transportation throughout that entire region".
The Northeast Mississippi region is ripe for this kind of research, Poros said, because of the kind of growth it's already experienced and the anticipation that it will continue as suppliers for Blue Springs' Toyota plant continue to locate there.

Economic lifeline to Pakistan, pipeline puts U.S. in a bind
LAHORE, Pakistan -- Looms whir and rattle as Aamir Fayyaz Sheikh shows off the intricately woven fabrics that his textile mill, one of Pakistan's largest, produces. The weaving and drying and bleaching, the washing, the winding and the chemical treating at Kohinoor Mills -- all of it needs energy. Lots of it. But in a country where daily blackouts are the norm, Fayyaz said he can't depend on his government to ensure he has a reliable supply of electricity to keep 1,500 people employed and get his clothing to places like Gap and Old Navy.

Why is Dubai such an important hub for defence deals?
The Dubai Airshow began with middle eastern airlines spending billions of dollars on new planes.
Now, US defence firms, amongst others, are out in force. Little expense seems to have been spared to showcase their fighter jets, bombers and other military hardware.
The BBC's Katy Watson is in Dubai finding out why the city's air show has become such an important hub for new defence and military deals.

A National Internship Scheme has been launched by Taoiseach Enda Kenny in Dublin.
The two-year JobBridge programme will offer work placements to 5,000 people who are on the Live Register.
The jobs will be offered in a range of companies in the private, public, community and voluntary sector.
So far 500 companies have expressed an interest in taking part and have offered 1,000 places.
They include the Quinn Group, Smurfit Kappa, Mercury Engineering and Aer Lingus.
The placements will last between six and nine months and participants will be paid €50 extra a week on top of their existing social welfare payments.
They will retain all of their additional benefits and it is open to anyone who has been signing-on for at least three months.
Companies offering places must have at least one full-time employee and the intern cannot displace an existing worker.
Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton has said those availing of the initiative would not be exploited.
The scheme begins on 1 July.
The initiative has been welcomed by business groups Chambers Ireland and IBEC.
Ian Talbot Chambers Ireland Chief Executive said: 'This will enable participants to gain invaluable work-place experience while also contributing to the operation of the business.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Goes Digital Today
HarperCollins Publishers have announced that "To Kill a Mockingbird" will become available as an e-book and digital audiobook today, July 8. Lee dicussed a "new generation" of fans in agreeing to the downloadable editions.
The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.
