I drag and drop a few PropertyPanels (which you can get into your palette by right-clicking inside it, choosing 'Palette Manager', then 'Add from JAR', and then browsing to 'platform/modules/org-openide-explorer.jar' in the NetBeans IDE installation directory) onto a TopComponent...
I then run the application and when I switch from one node to another, the property panels automatically update themselves, in the same way as the Properties Window:
The small "..." buttons to the right of each of the property panels are created automatically. The first two, above, are not so interesting, because the property in both cases is of type String. However, the property of the third property panel is java.io.File. For that reason, when you click on the small button... a file chooser opens! And, since the type of the property bound to the fourth property panel is a String Array, this is what you see when you click on the last button above:
I.e., the NetBeans Platform has a predefined property editor for java.io.File and for String[].
Try it yourself. Create a Person object with this content:
public class Person {
String name;
String city;
File photo;
String[] courses;
public Person(String name, String city, File file, String[] courses) {
this.name = name;
this.city = city;
this.photo = file;
this.courses = courses;
public String[] getCourses() {return courses;}
public void setCourses(String[] courses) {this.courses = courses;}
public File getPhoto() {return photo;}
public void setPhoto(File photo) {this.photo = photo;}
public String getCity() {return city;}
public void setCity(String city) {this.city = city;}
public String getName() {return name;}
public void setName(String name) {this.name = name;}
Now create a node hierarchy, using BeanNode, and display the node hierarchy in a BeanTreeView, with multiple tutorials that can help you on the NetBeans Platform Learning Trail. Finally, create a TopComponent like the one shown in the first screenshot above, then use a LookupListener to listen for Node classes, and do the following with Nodes:
public void resultChanged(LookupEvent ev) {
if (personResult.allInstances().iterator().hasNext()) {
Node personNode = personResult.allInstances().iterator().next();
Property<?>[] properties = personNode.getPropertySets()[0].getProperties();
for (Property prop : properties) {
if (prop.getName().equals("name")) {
prop.setValue("oneline", Boolean.TRUE);
} else if (prop.getName().equals("city")) {
} else if (prop.getName().equals("photo")) {
prop.setValue("directories", Boolean.FALSE);
} else if (prop.getName().equals("courses")) {
public void componentOpened() {
personResult = Utilities.actionsGlobalContext().lookupResult(Node.class);
public void componentClosed() {
Now whenever a new Node is in the Lookup (you could also check whether the Node has a Person in the Lookup, which would make it the Node that you're interested in) the relevant property is bound to a property panel. Depending on what the property is, the NetBeans Platform automatically assigns one of the default property editors, for the properties that it supports.

What are Cloaked Links and How I use them.
If you are not sure what Affiliate Marketing is, then please read this post first. Affiliate Marketers use cloaked links for numerous reasons. The most common being to track their affiliate link clicks and conversions; to provide better looking affiliate links for improved click through rates and to protect their commissions from something called link hijacking. Cloaked links, when used correctly will help your affiliate business, but use it incorrectly and you could hurt your sites Search Engine Rankings (SEO Stratergy).
What is a Cloaked Link
A Cloaked Link is the practice of hiding your affiliate marketing URLs by 'swapping' them with links that appear more user friendly. The actual process of cloaking links involves the creation of a 'better looking', 'more user friendly' link that your readers will trust and hopefully click on to buy the affiliate product you are marketing.
When you sign up as an affiliate for a product, the product vendor (or marketplace) assigns you an Affiliate Link. The default link is usually very long and/or nasty looking and screams 'don't trust me'. Also for some strange reason, some readers don't like clicking on affiliate links and feel they will get a better deal if they go to the vendors site directly, which means you may loose the sale.
An example of a regular looking affiliate links:
NOTE: The above link is fictitious and used as an example
By using link cloaking technology you can turn those ugly looking URL's into something more user friendly, more trustworthy and generally more useful. How I do this is discussed later on, but for now see an example below of an affiliate link that has been cloaked using the example Affiliate URL (shown above).
Uncloaked Link = https://affiliatesite.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=yourname
Cloaked Link = https://duanereeve.com/go/affiliatesite
(again, these are fictitious links)
Now, I'm sure you agree the cloaked link:
- Appears more trustworthy
- Is better looking and easier to remember
- Correctly Identifies the product/service
Understanding the principles of URL Redirection
A Cloaked URL is basically an instruction that redirects a URL to another URL. The same can be applied to redirecting domains, but I won't get into the technical aspects of what goes on when you implement these redirects. There are various types of redirects and you should at least have a basic understanding of how these affect your site before implementing them. For example…
- 301 Redirect – is a permanent redirect
- 302 Redirect – is a temporary redirect
- 307 Redirect – also a temporary redirect (meant to replace 302 redirects)
For a more detailed explanation of the types and reasons for redirects, see this wikipedia article.
Things to consider before implementing Cloaked Links
Before you decided to jump in without doing any further research, I think you need to understand that there is some risk when using Cloaked Links. General opinion is that Google frowns upon link cloaking and if you read the Google Webmaster Guidlines about link cloaking, it may come across as something you shouldn't be doing at all. The truth is that Link Cloaking done correctly is an accepted practice, but done incorrectly to deliberately hide content or misdirect users or GoogleBot will get your site penalised and possibly even blacklisted.
Before you feel that using cloaked Links shouldn't be done at all…
Consider this: Google owns it's own URL Shortner – https://goo.gl/
At the end of the day, a goo.gl URL is a cloaked link too.
What Google is really objecting to, is the use of cloaked Links in a decieptful or deceptive way. If you decided to implement Link Cloaking make sure you are being honest with your readers and that your cloaked URLS clearly indicate the product, brand or service you are promoting. As per the sample cloaked link above. My cloaked link still makes if very clear that the URL points to the 'affiliatesite' or 'affiliate product' I'm marketing.
Another thing to consider is the fact that some product vendors and/or affiliate marketplaces don't like (or don't permit) affiliates to use cloaked links. The most common reason for this is due to the fact that they use your 'given' affiliate link for tracking the source of their sales. By cloaking your affiliate URL, it is more difficult for them to track the source of the sale (i.e. Where the traffic came from). The reason they want to track this is to prevent Affiliates from using illegal marketing tactics to promote their products/services. It is pretty important that you read the affiliate agreement for each affiliate programme you belong too before you mask the links with cloaking. If you are in breach of a providers terms and conditions, you could get your account closed and loose any commission due.
How to implement Cloaked Links
I only know of four methods to implement link cloaking. There are probably more ways to do this and if I haven't mentioned a method you know of, please feel free to mention them in the comments section below.
Online URL Shortening Services
The simplest way to cloak any URL is to use an online link shortening service. A quick Google search for 'url shortener' will bring back many results for online tools you can use. Like anything, some services are better than others and you need to do your homework before using them. One tip I can pass on, if you decide to use an online service, is to make sure it offers link tracking. The biggest drawback for me when using these online services is the fact that you have no control over the service. Also, when you use a particular service, your shortened link will include the providers domain name in that link. Furthermore, due to the number of people using these free services, you may not be able to create the shortened link using the exact term you require.
Here is an example of this using the URL Shortening Service Bitly.com
If your Affiliate link is:
The ideal Bitly link would be:
But you will probably end up with:
bitly.com/affiliatesiteyourname (or) bitly.com/affiliatesite234 (or some other variation)
Why; because there are probably hundreds of affiliates trying to shorten their affiliate link using Bitly's service and every shortend URL Bitly creates has to be unique and stored indefinitely for the user who got there first. If you are fortunate enough you might get something suitable, but in most cases you will have to try several variations to get an acceptable link.
Some URL shortening services you can use are:
– http://tinyurl.com/ (No tracking)
– https://bitly.com/ (with tracking)
– https://goo.gl/ (Needless to say; Google Friendly)
I stopped using online services for Affiliate links a long time ago. I still use them for shortening other links, but no longer for affiliate products I promote. Bitly.com was my preferred service, but they started blocking my affiliate links. If a user clicked on my Bitly Shortened URL, they would be faced with a Warning Notice telling them 'the link might be an untrusted link'. Really, would you buy via any link when faced with such a notice? I won't. After logging support requests when this occurred, it was usually rectified, but would re-occur with the next link I shortend and I'd have to fight to get the notification lifted each and every time -Then I found out about WordPress Plugins that could shorten links…
WordPress Link Cloaking Plugins
If you are a Wordress user, which I assume you are, if you're following my blog; then you are in luck. The whole process and/or techincal hurdles for creating cloaked links is easily done using WordPress Link Cloaking Plugins. There are several FREE Link Cloaking Plugins available in the WordPress Repository and a whole lot of Premium Plugins (Paid Versions) too. I started out using the FREE version of Pretty Links (Pretty Links Lite). Which suited me fine for a long time until I found out that it doesn't cloak your link entirely. You see, what some link cloaking plugins do is; they cloak the link on your side, but after the link is clicked, your true link (affiliate link) is shown on the destination page. This is a good thing for the product vendor, but not good for the affiliate as this exposes the link you were trying to hide, in the first place. If link hijacking isn't a concern, then I would highly recommend Pretty Links as a FREE Option.
Last week, I purchased WP Link Shield (my cloaked affiliate link) and while I have only had this installed for about 5-days, I love this product. Not only does it handle Link Cloaking, it also makes it easy for you to share your links via Facebook and Twitter. It also monitors your affiliate links and if a link is no longer available, it will detect this and redirect that traffic to another of my affiliate offers or a page of my choosing (see landing pages below).
With WP Link Shield I can also create a landing page for redirected traffic and it will automatically display other offers/links created from my list of already cloaked affiliate links. This is powerful stuff, simply because your visitor is brought back to your site and they are shown more of your offers when the original intended offer is no longer available. Normally, you would loose this visitor/traffic on the vendors non-existent offer (or 404-error page). Now they are automatically brought back to your site.
I intend writing a FULL BLOWN Review of WP Link Shield in the coming weeks, after I have used it for a little longer. For now, the only thing that disappoints me with this product is the fact that it doesn't currently provide link tracking, which is essential. That being said; I have spoken with the Product Developer and both click tracking and conversion tracking are currently being tested and will be added in a future update (coming soon).
WP Link Shield is only $27 (at time of writing this post) and thus much cheaper than most other Premium Cloaking Plugins. There is a Sales Funnel, with some products that add to the features of WP Links Shield, but they are optional extras and not required for using the link cloaking features.
Redirecting Links using .htaccess file
If you are not using WordPress or you like to get your hands dirty tackling code and setting FTP Permissions, then the best way to do link cloaking is by editing your .htaccess file. If you don't know what the .htaccess file is, I'd recommend you use a plugin because messing up your .htaccess file could cripple your site. You also need to edit your robots.txt file to tell the search engines not to index or follow (noindex, nofollow) your cloaked links. Like I said, I use WP Link Shield for my link cloaking and this plugin makes the necessary changes for me. I have mentioned this manual method of cloaking for the 'geeks' (no offence) in the room and if you want to go this route, you're better off researching this yourself because I have never tried it.
Lastly (as far as I know) you can cloak URLs with JavaScript
Again, this is left for the more techie types, but you can get and implement URL Redirects using JavaScript. I played around with this once before and couldn't get it to work on my WordPress site. I assumed this was due to the way in which WordPress used to handle code snippets. This was a long time ago and I think it may be possible with the newer versions of WordPress. Feel free to experiment for yourselves; for me… I'd rather revert to using a WP Plugin.
A final note on using Link Cloaking
No matter what solution you use for link cloaking, you need to ensure the following is taken care of. Redirects are handled via a 307/302 redirect and that these links are set to 'nofollow'. The cloaked link should be cloaked both on your side and on the product vendors site to prevent commission hijacking. Your URLs should be user friendly and at the same time making it clear what they are pointing to (don't deceive users or the search engines).
Conclusion: I hope this article helps you understand why affiliate marketers use link cloaking and gives you some helpful tips to implement link cloaking on your website or blog. As a final message, if you don't do affiliate marketing then you probably have no need to cloak links. But, there will be a time when you will have to redirect links or domains, so take home from this, what you can.

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule today and stopping by our blog! Before you begin to read this post, please visit our friends over at theCountyfare.net. They're a lovely, family-orientated nutrition-based site fully supporting and supplying everyone with evidence-based nutrition advice. They wrote this fantastic article on Gluten-Free (GF) diets last week that prompted us to write a response… only it turns out we actually had a lot to say!
Which is exactly what's brought you to our blog today; this post shows our views and mutual agreements with thecountyfare concerning gluten-free diets.
Before we continue, we would like to quote thecountyfare regarding this topic "…I want to make very clear that one's being incorrect on or unaware of the underlying science does not make him a bad person or a dumb person….I hope no one will take this article as a personal criticism – I'm attempting to criticize an idea here."
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's get chatting!
Firstly, we would like to say what an outstanding post guys! To sum it up in one word… Agreed! For non-coeliac sufferers, the 'gluten free diet' is a fad.
You only need to enter the search terms: gluten free diet + weight loss into an internet browser to see how out of control another fad diet has become. Is it unprecedented? …No.
When it comes to nutrition people seem to think that just because we all eat, we can all be experts and everybody has an opinion and sometimes strong convictions. Unfortunately these opinions can be born out of ignorance and misinformation which is often the result of cyclic promotion amongst outspoken individuals, who resort to the online equivalent of playground yelling with their dime a dozen SEO snippets.
The truth of the matter is that there are too many people supplying us with unregulated health advice.
Gluten Free Diets And Weight Loss
Anyone opting for a 'gluten free diet' as a weight loss tool will ultimately lose weight by reducing kcals. Here's what the British Dietetic Association (BDA) says in their article entitled "Top 5 Worst Celebrity Diets To Avoid in 2014" in which Gluten free Diet was number 3 "While important for those with coeliac disease … there is no credible published research showing that a gluten-free diet per se leads to weight loss in those without."
What a gluten free diet can do is make it easier to lose weight because it can be very restrictive; but this isn't a good thing:
1. A lot of people will cut out staple carbohydrate sources going down this path, e.g. pasta, breads, cereals etc. but do not find suitable replacements…possibly because they think they need to buy like-for-like (but GF products are pricy, so they don't)…however, legumes, pulses, potatoes, millet, buckwheat, rice etc. are all naturally GF folks.
2. People typically end up cutting out a lot of processed foods in the process, e.g. all of their usual take-aways, cakes, biscuits and doughnuts etc. become off limits; empty calories that would normally expand anyone's waistline become a thing of the past. However, there are always exceptions; people might substitute cakes for GF ones or make GF / 'Paleo desserts' themselves, some of which are full of coconut flour and sugar (this completely contradicts the Paleo diet in the first place!). We're adamant that you wouldn't see any cave men hunting 'cakes' or grinding up coconuts into flour and refining sugar in order to bake a cake in their imaginary ovens!
3. For reasons mentioned above! This new restrictive diet can be a tool for those with disordered eating behaviours (and possibly a full blown eating disorder) to fashionably lose weight under the pretence that they have gluten intolerance. Apart from medical professionals, who is willing or capable of challenging their views and diet? As one of these medical professionals I can tell you it's not easy.
Responding To thecountyfare's Article
Nutrition Is A Science…
(One that we have both studied) and it needs to be respected. We need to refer to evidence and studies to form relevant arguments and points as is made clear in the article by thecountyfare.
Frustratingly, even with the structured evidence that science provides, people will continue to have polarised views on what's healthy and how they should live their lives; shutting down conversations that make them uncomfortable and/or where they are unable to back up their views with anything substantial and/or relevant.
Some people will unfortunately always argue science, even when it's in black and white; a lot of people do not like facing change. As mentioned, science isn't perfect, nor does it have all the answers…but some people (when approached with new concepts) will always react as if there is some conspiracy taking place.
Most people are perfectly happy to use prescribed medications, despite the fact that almost all the research on them has been carried out by the companies that intend to sell them to us. So calling into question the ethics of researchers in nutritional subjects is a little hypocritical; whatever happened to approaching things carte blanche?
Understandably we should question the motives of the researchers and investigate possible vested interests, but it would be grossly unfair to dismiss out of hand decades of research just because of who may or may not have picked up the cheque.
'Weight Loss And Feeling Better'
The 'Paleo guy' would have undoubtedly lost weight on a diet that was low kcal, low-fat, high protein and low G.I, and we're sure he would have felt better (losing 60lbs would do that!). However, the concept of feeling better than 10 years ago is such an ambiguous and subjective statement that it's rendered almost meaningless; with the foibles that memory has, you can't compare the state of your mind in this way over the course of one month let alone a decade. This is one reason why subjective measurements in research are always considered second rate to physiological measurements, i.e. blood tests. This is linked to the 'nocebo effect' that was discussed.
'I'm Getting Everything I Need'
thecountyfare makes another good point, unless this guy has blood tests or strictly monitors and analyses his diet, he cannot evaluate his overall diet/health with confidence- no one can. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) will only request vitamin and mineral analysis on an 'as needs basis' and only if you can convince your GP, so the majority of people will not have these types of tests; you'll be lucky if they go for routine blood tests. Unfortunately people seem to take matters into their own hands and do their best to avoid healthcare professionals and needles!
Now some people may use nutritional databases such as the USDA one here and calculate their nutritional intake, but this is very time consuming and to further complicate matters there is the issue of bioavailability and optimal absorption; put simply, this is how well micronutrients are digested and made available for use.
The body tightly regulates the absorption of some to prevent toxicity, which can mean high dose supplementation is a waste of money. Even from food sources micronutrient absorption can be impaired by competing micronutrients and other foodstuffs, not to mention that some micronutrients come in different forms depending on the food they are found in and these forms are absorbed at different rates. To call the matter complex is an understatement but it does highlight why you can't be blasé when claiming 'to get all you need'.
Gluten Free Promotion
The science is there to support why people need to be GF (as a coeliac) but not as a 'gluten free fad'. As it stands, people's lives seem to be governed by GF propaganda and overpriced GF products; there is no need for this. As thecountyfare mentioned, there seems to be a monopoly over who sells what. It's ridiculous how many GF products are now available; it's true, companies saw a market and now they are cashing in… on people's concerns and laziness.
These companies have also started producing products that are not only GF but dairy free (DF), egg free (EF) and/or Vegan (V) as well, in the hope that their products will 'appear' even healthier. Unfortunately some of us might not realise that something that is GF, DF, EF and/or V can still be unhealthy and inappropriate. This can confuse the matter and adds to these 'diet trends'.
Seek Advice
Living in ignorance about your health isn't bliss and nor is pretending you have all the answers. For example, a simple blood test for coeliac disease could provide a diagnosis (if someone has enough antibodies), but the gold standard is still a bowel biopsy (at least in the UK).
For those that have symptoms and are concerned, the worst course of action (as with all health conditions) is to self-diagnose and self-treat, due to the risk of misdiagnosis, e.g. putting yourself on a GF diet for six months and then paying a visit to your doctor to request blood tests. This would be an exercise in futility; blood tests would show a skewed result because there would be fewer antibodies present, giving you a false negative; this might result in you having a more cavalier approach to a GF diet, rather than the total exclusion required.
We're not saying gluten intolerances do not exist and the studies mentioned in the article raise some interesting points (especially regarding FODMAPs), people just need to seek their healthcare professional's advice. Unfortunately, using Google (other search engines are also available!), fad diet books or your own hypochondria to base health decisions on is not a great idea. We agree that it's incredibly irritating and potentially harmful if these people start spreading their misguided information regarding nutrition; this is where fads of eating 100 bananas a day come from. We wish people would stop producing 'trendy diets' and that celebrities could make do with one less wheelbarrow full of cash and stop endorsing them!
Coeliac disease is a complex topic, and one we won't go into now; we plan to write about it on our own blog in the future.
Our Closing Thoughts
We would like to mention that we have never advocated a trending 'gluten free diet', but we do offer it as a choice through our recipes because as we have mentioned, coeliac disease is a very real condition. The quality of GF products haven't been the best in the past and everyone should be encouraged to bake/cook from scratch (these are essential life skills for a healthy lifestyle/healthy living) whether you have a food allergy or not.
Adapting any alternative lifestyle (especially going WFPB) requires you to plan ahead; making sure your diet is nutritionally adequate. People need to reflect on the choices they make; are they making informed ones? …What is influencing their decisions?
Every pill, supplement or diet going isn't necessary going to produce the life-changing results they desire, it may also be inappropriate and isn't necessarily backed by scientific evidence; although companies like to take snippets from studies sometimes out of context to sell products.
So thecountyfare is right folks, tread with caution indeed.

Armored Saint, 'Mess' – Exclusive Song Premiere
Armored Saint are stepping up to the plate again on June 2 with their new album, Win Hands Down. The veteran metal act has teamed up with Loudwire to give you an early taste of the disc with a stream of the song "Mess," which can be heard in the player below.
As you can hear, the song starts off with machine-gun like drumming from Gonzo Sandoval, some wailing guitar licks that sound like sirens and eventually a powerful message coming from vocalist John Bush.
"Powerful music required some powerful lyrics. It was made clear by the chanting sounds of the tribal groups at the beginning of the song all the way to the frantic chorus. It sounded like chaos. Possibly the heaviest song Armored Saint has ever written," Bush tells Loudwire. "I continue to marvel at the amount of garbage that's created on our planet. Whether it's food or other disposable items. We could blame groups like Monsanto and that would certainly be valid, but it all comes back to personal accountability. We could all do better. Waste dirties up our beautiful cities and planet. We're consuming maniacs. All you can eat buffets offered to a third of Americans who are obese doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That is unless were trying to kill ourselves. What a mess."
"Mess" is featured on Armored Saint's Win Hands Down album and follows on the heels of their recently released title track. Check out the video for the title track at this location. And if you're an Armored Saint fan and can't wait to pick up the Win Hands Down disc, be sure to check out the band's merch site where you can pre-order the album in a variety of formats. Look for Armored Saint on the road this spring and summer supporting the new album. Dates can be found here.

Have any suggestions for the 3 Count? Let me know via Twitter @plagiarismtoday.
1: Oracle, Google Trial: Who Wins Round One?
First off today, Thomas Claburn at Informationweek writes that, with the copyright portion of the trial over, it appears Google has an advantage over Oracle in that section. Oracle sued Google over alleged patent and copyright violations in Google's implementation of JAVA in their Android operating system. The copyright portion of the trial concluded and Oracle scored some victories, including getting Google to admit they considered getting a license for their version of JAVA and that they might have reused some Oracle-owned code by accident. However, according to experts, Google won several key points, including forcing Oracle to define its copyrighted work as the whole of its APIs and having a judge prohibit a reinstated patent from being involved in the trial. The second phase, the patent phase is slated to begin this week.
2: Copyright Troll Causes Chaos By Suing Fans Without Band's Permission
Next up today, Enigmax at Torrentfreak writes that the heavy metal band All Shall Perish was caught off guard by the fact that it's songs were the subject of a Bittorrent lawsuit filed against alleged downloaders of their music. According to the lawsuit, some 80 IP addresses downloaded and shared their music via Bittorrent, the lawsuit is seeking the identities of those IP addresses for either possible further legal action or, more likely, to send settlement demand letters. The band, however, claims to have been "blindsided" by the lawsuit, which it seems their label, Nuclear Blast, was behind. All Shall Perish said that it hopes the lawsuits will be withdrawn but will intervene personally if they are not.
3: Parody Defence Not Far Far Away
Finally today, Bob Tarantino at The Lawyer's Weekly writes that legislation in Canada could give the country one of the most expansive fair use provisions in the world. The bill, as written now, would protect both satire and parody as fair use. Parody, which is using copyrighted material to make fun of the work itself, is protected in the U.S. but satire, which is using the material to make fun of something else, is not. However, it's hard to know exactly how these exemptions will work without case law behind them, which will be the next step should the bill be passed.
That's it for the three count today. We will be back tomorrow with three more copyright links. If you have a link that you want to suggest a link for the column or have any proposals to make it better. Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. I hope to hear from you.

Dating somebody through online dating at work could be tricky. That would be a number of pros and cons that come with dating your co-worker, but that does not reduce the number of couples that get together because of working in the same organisation. It's just more convenient to date somebody who works with you because you end up getting more time to spend with each other and it becomes more comfortable for the relationship. While a few people believe that dating your co-worker is an absolute no-no, there are others who often look for love inside the workspace. If you're wondering how to tell whether a co-worker is into you and how to tell if a co-worker likes you then here are a few points to take note of.
They Tried Talking To You More
If you notice that a certain co-worker has spent more time around your desk than any other desk in the organisation then there could be a strong chance they are attracted towards you. However, every time somebody spends a lot of time around your desk doesn't necessarily mean that they are into you.
It could also be that they need to communicate and associate a little more with you in order to work seamlessly and get the job done. If you think that someone is into you and that's the only reason they spend more time around you then look out for some other signs that could indicate that they might be interested.
Constant Eye Contact
If you notice that your co-worker is constantly trying to stare at you and make eye contact with you then this could probably mean that they are into you. When someone is attracted to you they usually try to stare at you a lot more than usual and this could also clearly indicate that they are giving you a signal that they might like you.

A nation can progress in the true sense of the term when each and every child belonging to it has equal access to quality education that prepares the child for a bright future ahead. The Indian education system, catering to a population of 1.3 billion, has a long way to go when it comes to providing quality education to every single child in the country, especially from the disadvantaged classes and communities.
Although the school dropout rates have been decreasing, a large number of children are still out of school for various social and economic factors. While measures like, The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (2001) and The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act (2009) have been landmarks in the area of providing basic and primary education to all children, but these are yet to ensure that all the children are enrolled in schools, attending classes, and are moving on to the next level of education.
What is more alarming is the quality of education being received by a vast majority of children studying in government and private-aided schools. Barring a few good government-run schools, most public schools suffer from teacher absenteeism, lack of proper allocation of funds, under-utilization of resources, inability to prevent school dropouts, poorly trained teachers, low accountability, low levels of learning, and several other factors that prevent children in these schools to receive the high quality of education that are being provided by many private schools that mostly cater to economically stronger sections of the society. The ASER 2016 Education Report shows that there has been hardly any improvement since the year 2014 (from 19.6% in 2014 to 20% in 2016) in making computers available in most schools across India, except a few states.
It would be wrong to not bring into account those private schools, which satisfy the bare minimum criteria needed to be running as a school, and provide equally poor quality of education like most public schools and private-run schools.
So what is it that has been stopping most schools from being updated and upgraded so that children receive education that is at par with the 21st century world they live in? Why are a few international schools keeping up with high standards of school education that prepare children to compete worldwide? With so much of funds being allocated by the government bodies to the public school system, why aren't these being used to providing children with a competent and skill-based education?
The factors are many and each region differs from the other with enrollment rates, dropout rates, learning levels, etc. but overall the school education system of India has not undergone vast improvements since long. The objective should not only be universal education but good quality universal education for all, irrespective of the economic and social background of the child. We need to pace up our work in ensuring that every child completes his/her school education and moves on to the next level, with skills that will help him/her survive in the world after school.
It is not only necessary to provide for basic infrastructure and sanitation facilities in schools, but more crucial to keep up with the contemporary times, and provide for education supported by updated technology. It is crucial for teachers to be trained in ICT, so that there is blended learning in classes, which attract students to school every day. A strong skill-based education that complements the theoretical learning in our schools will give a sense of purpose to the children and prepare them with the required life skills to make them more employable and ready for life after school.

text: Dito Pataraia once came up with an elegant proof of (essentially) the Bourbaki-Witt theorem. The proof is very short, and deserves a look. Furthermore, it uses domain theory in an essential way: the core is showing that the set of inflationary monotonic maps on a dcpo is itself a dcpo, and is directed, hence has a supremum. Dito Pataraia would very rarely publish his findings, and we owe it to Martín Escardó that it did not disappear with him. I personally became aware of this thanks to one anonymous referee of the book. See the full post.

Why did the Bolshevik Revolution of November 1917 succeed
Extracts from this document...
Why were the Bolsheviks the ultimate victors in the events of 1917 ? The Bolsheviks were successful in coming to power in the end of the 1917 revolution for a number of reasons, which all contributed to one another to result in the Bolsheviks coming to power in 1917. These factors include the weakness of the provisional government, the brilliance of Lenin as a public speaker, effective and successful propaganda, the strong and obedient private army of the Bolsheviks, the Red Guards, well led by Trotsky and the excellent organisation of the Bolshevik party. The weakness of the provisional government, with it's infighting and lack of cohesion between different parties, who although had relatively minor differences, all had the same main objective of turning Russia into a liberal democracy, was an important factor in the Bolsheviks successfully coming to power. ...read more.
Similarly, slogans such as 'Peace, Bread, Land' were also extremely effective in gaining support as, these were the three things that working class people needed most yet did not all have. Therefore in promising these essential things, the Bolsheviks gained their support. The simplicity of slogans such as these, which enabled the working class to easily understand them was also important in getting support. Similarly, Lenin's ability as a brilliant public speaker was also indispensable in gaining widespread support, among people who heard him speak, especially the working class. His ability to inspire people in this way was crucial in gaining support for the Bolshevik organisation. German money, which was invested in the Bolsheviks in order to destabilise Russia, Germany's opponent on the eastern front of the first world war, was an important factor in the Bolsheviks gaining power in 1917. ...read more.
Membership grew to 2 million in 3 months. Unlike the Provisional Government, the Bolsheviks demanded total obedience from their members, so they were well-disciplined (members did what the leaders wanted). This allowed the Bolsheviks to co-ordinate their members into effective protests and opposition to the provisional government. The fact that the Bolsheviks had the widespread support of people in industrial cities and cities including the two major centres, Petrograd and Moscow, meant that they had a lot of influence in the major seats of power, which was crucial in them coming to power, as they would ultimately not have been able to assume and maintain command had they not had this strong backing from the proletariat workers. In conclusion, all of the above factors contributed to the Bolsheviks coming to power in 1917, and subsequently allowed them to govern effectively, mainly with the support of the people of the working class in the large cities and towns. ...read more.

Fast, Affordable Cleaning Services
Carpet Cleaning and Air Duct Cleaning for St. Peters, MO
We are your Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning Professionals!
It does not matter if you own a home or business; if you have carpeting on the floors in them then that carpeting will need to be cleaned every so often. Carpeting greatly enhances the looks and appeal of any type of room it is placed in but dirty or stained carpeting will have quite the opposite effect. Carpet fibers are like magnets when it comes to allergens, pet dander, dust and other contaminants being absorbed into them; vacuuming will get the tip of the surface clean but only a deep and thorough cleaning like we can provide will keep your carpets in pristine condition.
We are a well-established local business that takes a lot of pride in doing the best job possible on the cleaning services we provide. That is why we only stock our service vehicles with the best equipment available and we keep our skilled cleaning technicians up to date on the latest and best carpet cleaning methods.
Why Get Your Carpets and Upholstery Cleaned?
There are several reasons why you should get your carpets cleaned at least once a year; here are the most important of those reasons:
St. Peters Cleaning Services
Residential Carpet Cleaning
Your home is your castle and no castle looks good with dirty carpets. We most certainly can help you there. Our skilled technicians are very adept at getting even the most stubborn types of carpets clean in your place of residence. We only use the very best carpet cleaning products to get results that will leave your carpets looking great; we will leave your carpets so clean you will be proud to show to them to any guests that may come to your home. No residential carpet cleaning job is too big or too small for us too handle.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
There are no carpets that are harder to keep clean than those that are used in a business or retail setting. This makes it difficult at times because nothing makes a bigger impression on your customers and clients then a good looking place of business and your carpets are a big part of that overall appearance.
We have the right equipment and the right personnel to keep your commercial carpet looking great. Our trained carpet cleaning technicians know all the tricks needed to get your carpets deep cleaned and looking almost like new; they can even come in and do this during your non-working hours.
Maybe you have a busy place that does not have a lot of down time for carpets to dry before use? That is not a problem for us and our advanced dry carpet cleaning methods feature some of the fastest drying times in the industry. We will work with you to take care of all your carpet cleaning needs no matter what challenges you face in keeping your carpets clean and looking great.
Carpet Stain Removal
Did someone spill wine on your good rug during a party or your pet have a bad day and couldn't make it outside? Well we are experts at getting out tough stains so all is not lost. The next time you have a 'stain emergency' give us a call and we will get to your home right away and see what we can do.
Upholstery Cleaning
Carpets aren't the only thing in your home that needs to be cleaned from time to time. Your furniture's upholstery badly needs attention too. Your pets climb on your couch, you eat snacks while watching a ballgame or a movie and sometimes you come home from the gym or working outside and sit down before showering; all this can add up to a lot of dirt and other unwanted residue accumulating on your furniture. When you stop to think about it, your couch and plush chairs actually get more use then your carpets; that is why it is so important to clean them at least once a year too.
Area Rugs
Just because your carpet does not go wall to wall or is not tacked to the floor does not mean that it shouldn't be cleaned once in a while. It is impractical to take large carpets outside to clean them so we can clean them in place just like any other type of carpet. The same techniques that we use to clean regular carpeting will leave your area rugs looking great too.
Air Duct Cleaning
Don't stop with the floors and the upholstery when it comes to cleaning; for a very good overall house cleaning we can clean your air ducts at the same time we clean your carpets, upholstery and rugs. Forced air furnaces move a lot of air every single day and they usually only have inexpensive porous filters as the method for cleaning that air. This results in a lot of pet dander, dust, bacteria and allergens collecting on the inside of your central heating and air ductwork; there are literally hundreds of feet of ductwork in your house where this is happening.
Our very thorough duct cleaning service will put the finishing touch on your cleaning job and greatly improve the quality of the air that circulates through your residence. We have the know how and the equipment to get to all those hard to reach places inside of your duct work so you and your family will have better quality air to breathe while you are at home.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
There are few things in this world that are more frustrating to clean than Grout. It is a porous surface that just loves to build up mold and mildew; when it does it is extremely tough to get that mold and mildew out and it makes your bathroom or kitchen look dirty even when it is clean. Well problem solved thanks to our advanced tile and grout cleaning methods.
Bundled services
The combination of carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, tile & grout cleaning and air duct cleaning will have a dramatic impact on the look, smell, and cleanliness of your home. Ask us on the phone about the available discounts for bundling these services together when we come out to your home or business.
Protect Your Home Décor Investment
Replacing the carpets in your home is not cheap by any means. One way to protect your carpet and to extend its working life is by coating the fibers in your carpet with a surface protectant. Here are the two choices we offer our customers as far as adding more stain resistance to your household and commercial carpeting:
- Scotchguard
This is a proven product that is well known for helping to prevent your carpets from getting stained and to give you more time to clean them and prevent spills from becoming stains when accidents do happen on them. It is an invisible barrier that won't harm any type of carpet fibers.
- Teflon
Just like Teflon coating will keep food from sticking to your pots and pans it will also inhibit oil and water based contaminants from penetrating through to the inside of your carpet fibers and cause unsightly and impossible to get out stains.
So whether you want to keep your brand new carpet looking new as long as possible or you want to keep your recently cleaned carpet looking great, consider adding Teflon or Scotchguard treatments to your carpet.
Our Carpet Cleaning Reputation Speaks for Itself
You get more with us then just a carpet cleaning company that does a great job. We pride ourselves on bringing you the best and most satisfactory carpet cleaning experience possible. Our trained technicians arrive on time and will go the extra mile to take care of all your carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and other cleaning needs.
We are a business that is well aware of how valuable that word of mouth is. That is why we work hard to try to keep every single customer happy with the services we provide.
We are your one stop place for all your carpet cleaning needs. It does not matter whether we are cleaning your carpet, cleaning your upholstery, cleaning your air ducts or cleaning your tile and grout; we will do it thoroughly and we will do it well.
Locally Owned and Large Service Area!
We are located in St. Peters, Missouri and our crews service the entire St. Peters area with our affordable and professional carpet cleaning services.
If you're considering any kind of carpet cleaning, give us a call today for a free consultation.
Call us today and speak directly with the owner. We're small enough to give you that personalized service yet large enough so we can get to you FAST! Get it done right, get it done fast, call us today.

After being squirreled away in Mustique on something Kate herself definitely does not call "a babymoon," the duchess reappeared over the weekend in Alpine finery, at a fancy Swiss wedding for some fancy friends. To the nuptials, Kate wore this flowing, peasant-y Max Studio dress she's worn before—a leopard print—under a tailored coat, a faux-fur scarf, and Lock & Co.'s "Betty Boop" hat. She was also snapped tooling around some ski-resort snow drifts with a sled (!) in a printed short-sleeve top (!!), which seems ill-advised even without the baby on board. Zara made the printed sledding blouse—apparently Kate previously wore it once to a Welsh Tesco—and because three's a trend, Topshop says that Kate has purchased this yellow-and-red printed dress, Lovestruck's Deirdre, with elastic ruching at its baby-bump-proximate parts. She also stepped out today in a hamlet called Grimsby wearing a printed silk dress with a brown coat, and last month, wore a printed gray wrap dress by Max Mara. None of this, by the way, is actual maternitywear, per all labels involved; it's just up-sized (theoretically?) regular-lady clothing, or stuff Kate wore when she wasn't pregnant. So.
Anyway, prints! By contrast, Diana went high Neo-Romantic 80s with her maternity style, while the Queen just went M.I.A. (#1940s). We'll give the edge to the former Miss Middleton, even if "silky ruched buttercup printed cap-sleeve" sounds extremely intimidating to us.
Meanwhile, in accessories news, Kate has momentarily shelved the color-coordinated clutches for a "handloomed," cotton-canvas tote bag in soft baby blue, printed with a tiny little elephant. Call us crazy, but it looks suspiciously like a diaper bag—a suspicion heightened by checking the designer's Web site, which lists only two colorways for the infant-pachyderm carryall: "sea blue" and "pink."
Is this as close as we'll get to "It's a Boy" balloons? The comments are ready for your wild, speculative theories.

SAN DIEGO (AP)Rookie Merrill Kelly pitched seven dominant innings and Josh Rojas hit a three-run double in the seven-run eighth for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who beat the lackluster San Diego Padres 9-0 Friday night.
Arizona remained five games behind Milwaukee for the second NL wild card and also need to overtake the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets. The Diamondbacks have won four of their last six games after losing six straight.
San Diego has lost eight of nine.
The 30-year-old Kelly (12-14) was impressive in his final road start this season. He held the Padres to two hits and struck out nine while walking three.
San Diego had only two baserunners in the first four innings, one of whom was erased by a double play. The Padres didn't get their first hit until Luis Urias singled with two outs in the fifth.
Kelly got all the runs he needed when Carson Kelly hit a two-run single in the second off left-hander Eric Lauer.
The Diamondbacks sent 12 batters to the plate in the eighth and scored seven runs during a Padres' bullpen meltdown. The Diamondbacks had four hits, drew three walks and had one hit batsman. Besides Rojas' bases-clearing double, Wilmer Flores hit a two-run single, San Diegan Adam Jones had an RBI single and pinch-hitter Abraham Almonte drew a bases-loaded walk.
Lauer (8-10) also struck out nine but allowed two runs and two hits in six innings, with four walks.
Diamondbacks: RHP Luke Weaver (4-3, 3.03) is scheduled to start Saturday night.
Padres: Struggling rookie RHP Cal Quantrill (6-8, 5.33) is scheduled to make his 23rd appearance and 18th start. He is 0-4 with a 15.12 ERA in his last four starts since Aug. 27

It is easy for us to forget that the Holy Family of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, whose feast we celebrate today, was a real family.

The Family is the world's smallest community. It is the basic platform of the human society from which larger communities, nations and the human race came forth. We are all products of families. We often say that: "charity begins at home (that is from the family)!" And so it is with other realities like hatred, strife, anger,...

12/25/15 Nativity of the Lord - Fr. Reggie
The angels announced to the shepherds that a Savior was born for them. They called this "news of great joy," since this Savior was going to bring "peace to those on whom his favor rests." The peace that Christ brings is the source of that joy. The two always go together. Joy is...

Isn't it amazing that the prophet Micah, who lived more than 700 years before Christ, predicted where the Messiah would be born, in Bethlehem? And isn't it amazing that 700 years later, Mary and Joseph were required by the Roman authorities to go to Bethlehem to register for a census at the very time that...

12/13/15 Third Sunday of Advent - Fr. Reggie
What should we do? That question is at the heart of it all. What should we do? We're celebrating the 3rd Sunday of Advent now. We're watching and waiting for the coming of Christ. And the same question might be in our hearts: What should we do? In the gospel we just read, people came to John the Baptist with exactly that question....

12/6/15 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time - Deacon Ron
Nothing in Sacred Scripture is there for nothing. So we need to reflect on how Luke introduces today's gospel message. It is a veritable who's who in a list of men in position of power placed there by the Romans. It can be argued that in doing so, the evangelist lent a certain air of credibility to what is to follow. What does follow, however,...

I've been playing Stardew Valley A LOT lately. Currently clocked in at just over 55 hours on the PS4 version. My fiancée is around 25 hours on Steam. We've spent many nights lately swapping farming knowledge and advice whilst both on the same couch watching different screens. It's a great game. Recently I passed the 1 year mark and so I thought I'd just assess how far I've come since arriving on my abandoned farm all those hours ago.
For anyone reading who doesn't know what Stardew Valley is, it's a farming game essentially. Your character acquires a farm from a relative, you quit your job and get on a bus to your new home. When, you arrive the town mayor shows you to the farm that you now own. It is littered with weeds, overgrown grass, trees and rocks everywhere. You get given some money, some seeds, gardening tools and that's it. You get advised to go into town and talk to the townsfolk and visit the local shop but what you do next it up to you. Farming is the core component but fishing, mining, exploring, foraging, socialising with the locals and doing up an old town hall through item gathering are all available at your leisure. It's an easy to grasp but loads to find out and learn along the way type game. As you progress and do more things, your character will upgrade and improve in areas as well as be able to build new features for your farm. Each year in the game is split up into 4 months which represent the 4 seasons. When you arrive on your farm, it's the 1st of Spring. A month consists of 28 days and each month has certain produce that can only grow in that month, seasonal fish to catch and a bunch of other season only events. There is tremendous depth to this game which I'm sure I'll cover in a review in the future but right now I'm nowhere near done with this game. So for now, here's an average day for farmer Rudiger on Kraken farm.
Journal Entry: Saturday 13th, Summer, My 2nd Year
I woke up nice and early this morning at 6am. I usually do that anyway but I've got a bumper of crops I need to pluck from the soil today. Been waiting for my melons to grow and now they should be perfectly ripe and plump. I get out of bed and say hello to my baby girl Sarah, who's up already and crawling across the bedroom floor happily. Must be nice to not have a care in the world at that age. I see my beloved wife Abigail by the cooker and we chat about the time we beat a level on Journey to the Prairie King. A video game Abigail was struggling on last year. It was one of the first times we spent time alone together and it was also a moment of connection for us both. Looking back at it, that might be the moment I knew I cared for her that way. She was always endearing. The way she'd eat flowers that I gave to her as a gift, I always found that peculiar but intriguing. That and the fact she's a gaming girl sealed the deal and we got married. Happy to this day I might add.
I kiss her goodbye and head into the cellar. I recently stocked up some casks with goat cheese and cow dairy cheese. None of them have matured enough yet to sell so I'll come back again tomorrow. As I leave my house I can hear the distinct sound of rain as I exit my sleepy haze. The door opens and I am immediately hit by that earthy smell of wet soil. I should trust the weather forecasts more, I could have got an extra hour in bed. The crops are watered by nature today. That saves me a job this morning. Scanning my field I see that my melons are glistening in the rain. Ripe, beautiful colour and ready for harvesting. I pluck them from the moist earth and examine their quality. 5 are immaculate. I'll use these for making melon wine once my kegs are free. I promised Penny if I grew any melons I'd bring her one as they're her favourite fruit. So I keep 1 aside, plus the 5 perfect melons and I put the rest in the shipping bin. Those will be collected in the night and I'll wake up to find my wallet has grown fatter. Easy-peasy. I venture over to my coop and check up on my little guys. Not a bad haul, 4 eggs and a loose duck feather. Feathers fetch a pretty penny so I'll sell this along with my 2 dinosaur eggs and then I'll make mayonnaise out of the remaining eggs. I pop over to my barn and say hello to my gang of misfits. My goats aren't producing milk today but my 2 cows: Meryl and Mary are prime for milking. I'll use this milk to make some fine cheese later. Nearly done for the morning, the greenhouse is the last to do on my land. I enter the greenhouse and my flowers have started blooming. A radiant blue colour. I take them from the soil and collect the rest of the crops. A lot of coffee beans were picked today, those will sell well tonight. I head back to my house and use my mayonnaise and cheese press machines. Those'll be ready by the time I get back.
I jump aboard my loyal steed Clip-Clop and we head into town! When we get there I check the local calendar for events. It's Alex's birthday today! I'll pop in to his and give him a present. Before I can even get through the door, the delicious aroma of baked goods come flooding up my nostrils. As if in a daze, I go to the kitchen like a zombie. I find Evelyn there. She tells me she's happy to see me and that she's just baked a fresh batch of her famous cookies. Try one, she says. Oh my god! They're the best things since sliced bread. Crumbly but with gooey chocolate. Evelyn also gave me the recipe to make them myself. I was a bit taken back by this. In the beginning, when I first arrived to town, she told me that maybe 1 day she'd tell me her secret recipe. I guess she trusts me to have it now. Savouring that treat, I headed to Alex's room.
I should knock before entering rooms. He was lifting weights. Shirtless. He didn't seem awkward about it but I felt wrong for just barging in. But he apologised to me. I wasn't expecting that. He explained that he spoke a bit harshly to me about his American football dreams in the past and that he regretted it. That he just gets defensive about what he cares about. He had no need to apologise to me but I'm honoured that he did. Before I go I wish him happy birthday and give him one of the flowers I plucked earlier. He smiles and thanks me and I go to leave. Walking past the kitchen I give Evelyn one of the flowers too. She's delighted by it. They're a nice family, even George, though he can be a bit cranky at times but I think that's a façade. I look at the time and see that it's later than I thought.
I jump aboard Clip-Clop and we head to Clint's Blacksmiths. I was in the mines yesterday and found a large stash of geodes. I ask Clint to crack them open for me. I pay him his usual rate and he gives me the hidden treasures. Not a bad deal. I got some precious minerals to keep for later. I got 2 things that I'll donate to Gunther at the museum and I got some precious Iridium. This rare ore is what I've been searching for lately. Difficult to find and guarded by monsters but at least I've got enough now to smelt a bar out of it. I drop off my 2 rare finds to Gunther at the museum, which he thanks me for and away I go to the beach. When, I get to the beach I go to the shoreline to investigate my crab pots. Not lucky today. Mostly rubbish and soggy newspaper. Still, worth a go though so I put some bait in the pots and I'll see what I catch tomorrow.
I see that I have 1 flower left and so I decide to see how Jodi and the kids are doing. Sam and Vincent are playing games and watching TV, I hand the kids some coral I found at the beach. Boys love that kind of stuff! Their mum is doing dishes in the kitchen and I hand her the flower. Her face lights up and she thanks me for it. I check the time and see I'm behind schedule. I bid farewell and quickly dash for the door.
I race to the bus depot to catch the last departure but I'm too late. I see Pam walking by me, no doubt on her way to the Saloon for a refreshing drink. Well that's me not going to the Skull Cavern today. I was hoping to find more of that Iridium but maybe tomorrow instead. I decide to head back home and tie up any loose ends for the night. My darling Abigail has made me some soup which I'll save for tomorrows expedition. My cheeses are ready from this morning and smelling good. I take them down to my cellar and stick them in a cask to age for a week or 2. My mayonnaise is ready too so I stick that in my shipping box along with the mussels I found at the beach.
The clock is ticking but the night is still young. I can't go on the bus but I can go to the local mine instead. I'm running low on bait for my crab pots and the bugs in the mines make excellent bait for fish. So I jump on Clip-Clop and we head to the dark and gloomy mines. Along the way I find some juicy grapes and realise I've not seen Linus for a while. He lives in a tent on the outskirts of town and I hardly come this way anymore. It'd be nice to see him to I poke my head into his tent and there he is. We have a brief talk and I give him the grapes. He's kind as always and likes the grapes. He lives the foraging lifestyle anyway so I'm sure he appreciates the gesture and visit, especially given how isolated he is up here. We say our goodbyes and I venture into the mines.
Not too deep as the bugs tend to hand around the early floors. I'm not at it long when I realise it's past 10pm. I've got to be up at 6am tomorrow so time to call it a night, leave the mines and head back home.
Once home I use the bug meat I found and use it to create some bait. That should do me a while now. I also see that some of my kegs are ready, so I take the wine from them and put my melons from this morning into them. I'm looking forward to trying some of that melon wine but for now, I'll leave it to soak and ferment. Didn't accomplish all that I wanted to today but it was nice having time to see people and to hear about their day. Tomorrow will be a busy day and I definitely need to get to the Skull Cavern at some point soon. But for now that is all. I'm going to go put all my stuff away for the day and get into bed. Until next time, Diary.
I hope you enjoyed this look into what Stardew Valley has to offer and it's different gameplay elements. This is just my playthrough too. You could specialize in crops, in fishing, you could have loads of barns full of cows and be a dairy farmer. I did a stint where I was producing tons of coffee and riding into town handing out fried eggs. There is so much to do and it's interesting to see the growth over time. You may see another day in Year 3 at some point. But for now, take care.

When her fiancé Mr. Wood lets her down by flirting with another woman, Constance Wynne Hare tears off to Monte Carlo to forget him in the world of high rollers in the flashiest casinos on the Riviera. Will the ever-reliable lady's maid Collier be able to rescue her from a dissolute life on the Mediterranean? The Jazz Age adventures of Constance & Collier return!
Constance Wynne Hare stamped her well-shod little foot with vehemence as her mother stared with alarm. "Yes, her suitcase. That's his claim. He only went with her to help with the suitcase, and somehow—mind you, he's very unclear on the details—but somehow it turned into a wild party and they were all taken to the precinct house and not charged, but locked up all night."
"Naturally," her mother said, her tone cool and her eyes narrowed as if she had just spotted a partner trumping out of turn.
"I do think it entirely unnecessary that he escorted her home in the morning after such an arrangement, and even more so that he stayed to eat breakfast with the baggage! Insupportable." Constance threw herself down into a chair, but even the violence of that action did little to assuage the peevish sense of being done very wrong indeed by the exasperating Mr. Wood.
It made it much, much worse that her mother regarded her with such pity now. "My dear child, I hate to say I warned you of this—"
"Then do not!" Constance knew that anger at her mother was the only thing keeping despair at bay. "Mother, I cannot bear you being beastly just at this moment. It's the last thing I need. I may just have to run off and join a convent." She folded her arms with decision.
Unfortunately, her mother only laughed. "My dear, the convent that takes you in would have to be a rather forward-thinking institution."
"Don't tease, Mamma."
"Constance, you know well my opinion on Mr. Wood. I do wish you'd had the good sense to marry that nice young banker—"
"That boat has sailed." Constance frowned. Bankers were less likely to be the stable wagers her mother thought, she knew all too well. Get them out of the counting house and the unaccustomed freedom quite turned their heads. "I need a change of scenery. I need to leave London."
"Go to Bath." Her mother said with suspicious quickness. "It ought to be quite lovely this time of year. I know many families who take their leisure there in the off-season."
"Do you?" Constance gave her mother a shrewd look that would have recalled a mongoose to any careful observer.
"Oh yes," her mother said casually, turning to adjust the flowers in the Sèvres vase on the little oak table. "Why, I believe the Worthingtons are there just now."
"Are they?" It was a good thing her back was turned or Constance's mother would have seen a most objectionable look on her daughter's face, one she might have scolded as both unladylike and entirely unnecessary.
"Oh, they seem to be having a most delightful time. The Earl's gout is clearing up at last and young Earnest has become quite the talk of the town—very popular among the ladies, as I hear it."
"It must be his extraordinary fondness for cakes that has set the ladies all a-flutter."
Her mother turned with snake-like speed. A more timid girl would have cowered, but Constance was no flibbertigibbet. "Are you objecting to his very large girth?"
"Not at all. I like to see a man of substance," Constance said, her head held high, insulted both by the question and her mother's tone. "However, I object to a gentleman so greedy as to roughly elbow a girl aside in the pursuit of said cakes. I have not forgotten the Duchess' hunt dinner."
"How awful of you to recall such an embarrassing evening, which I recall we agreed never to mention again."
"Mother, you drive me to desperate measures. Earnest Worthington? I'd sooner marry a—a fishmonger."

"Hey Fae, whatdaya say? Wanna go play? Down by the bay? I just may!"*
This was a common refrain from me in High School when I wanted to torment my mother.
Oh, and this;
"Faaaaaeee! Is this corn hand shucked?"**
Sometimes this;
"Fae, you're the devil!"***
Her inevitable response was "DON'T CALL ME FAE! Call me MOM!!!" and/or "I am NOT the devil!!!" But she could never keep a straight face and usually started laughing so I just taunted her a second time.****
(In front of our Camino house in S.L.C. I love that she's barefoot!)
When my friends asked me why I called my mom Fae I'd reply, "With a name that cool, how can I not?"
But really it was just to tease her. (Until it became an unbreakable habit, that is.)
Now I either call her Fae or Mommy. One or the other.
Old habits die hard.
My point here is, Fae is awesome. She has a great sense of humor and doesn't take herself too seriously. When I'm dealing with my kids, I use her as an example of how to be a good mother. She was always extremely patient with me. I can't speak for the older kids, (they were a LOT naughtier than me) but I don't ever remember her yelling. All she had to do to discipline me was show her disappointment and I'd apologize pretty darn quick. Her good opinion was that important to me.
Recently, my mom remarried. At first I was really excited when she got a boyfriend. Then I started getting a little (okay, a lot) jealous (having always been her favorite child/human). But now I'm just happy she's happy. Even though I have to share her attention and affection.
Faezer, you're the best mom I could have asked for. I love you lots and lots!!!
Lot's of love,
Your favorite child, Emily
P.S. There have been a LOT of other great Mom's in my life. Especially the mom's of all of my High School and College friends. But I'm especially grateful for Doug's mom for raising such a fabulous son. (And one with low enough standards to marry me!!!) Thanks Mom-Susan!

Pretoria - The Hawks are investigating the theft of a large amount of money from the State Security Agency's offices in Pretoria East on December 26.
''I can confirm that an undisclosed amount of money was stolen,'' said Brian Dube after the Sunday Times reported that thieves made off with R50 million in foreign currency from the offices of the agency, whose job it is to monitor domestic and foreign threats.
''An investigation is under way by the Hawks to ensure that whoever is responsible will be brought to book. It is very concerning,'' he said.
Neither he nor Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi would reveal the amount taken.
Mulaudzi said the theft was discovered on December 26, and was thought to have happened between Christmas night and Boxing Day.
Nobody has been arrested yet.
