If you are about to start law school or are in your first year, this book would be a good companion. Now in the fourth edition, this text has helped thousand of folks become better law students and down the road, better lawyers.
Like other introductory books, it covers the basics: reading and briefing cases; preparing for class; outlining and study groups; taking exams. There are exercises so you can apply what you have learned. In addition to these essentials, the book focuses of what is often quite elusive: legal analysis; Why do courts follow precedent?; How are cases applied and distinguished?; How is ambiguous language interpreted? Legal analysis is the hidden ball of the first year, and with this book you will be well on your way.
There are chapters on legal writing (not necessarily boring or highfalutin') and on oral argument (not necessarily terrifying). These chapters will help in first year writing and Moot Court Programs. And, for those of you who aren't sure, there are chapters revealing the wide array of careers that will be open to you.
The book reads fast, well, and is often funny. That said, drawing on the work of philosophers, psychologists, and novelists, it takes you and your calling quite seriously, but never (not even once) pompously.

At Home: A Short History of Private Life
Leslie, Catherine A., Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences
At Home: A Short History of Private Life By Bill Bryson (2010) Published by Ooubleday, New York, NY (2010). $28.95 ($14.99 e-book)
Reviewed by Catherine A. Leslie
You never know what you may learn from a chance encounter on an airplane. Flying from Akron, OH to Milwaukee, WI last spring, I was seated next to a retired school teacher who started a conversation by asking what I was knitting. It turned out that we had much in common, including a strong belief in the work of family and consumer sciences (FCS) professionals. Gail suggested that I might be interested in At Home: A Short History of Private Life, which she was reading for a book club.
As soon as I picked up At Home, I saw the value of it and the interest it holds for FCS. The author, William McGuire "Bill" Bryson, was born in the United States and spent much of his life in Great Britain. At Home is a journey through his current residence, a 19th century living rectory in Norfolk, UK. Through exploration of the places in his home, Bryson shares the history of everyday life.
After finding a door, which led to a strange area on the roof of his house, Bryson began thinking about houses, history, and how people lived: "So I formed the idea to make a journey around it, to wander from room to room and consider how each has featured in the evolution of private life" (p. 4). He continued, "What I found, to my great surprise, is that whatever happens in the world - whatever is discovered or created or bitterly fought over - eventually ends up, in one way or another, in your house" (p. 5). In an easy-to-read conversational style, Bryson takes us through each area, providing fascinating tales and facts that pique curiosity and add to knowledge of FCS professionals and laypersons alike.
He begins with The Year in which his house was built (1851), describing England, and specifically London, under the reign of Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, who directed the Great Exhibition and its Crystal Palace. Bryson describes the state of building, living conditions, food choices, and society. This is followed by The Setting, which addresses when and why humans began to settle, build, and inhabit shelters, providing interesting examples of how ancient shelters were excavated and interpreted. Ancient peoples showed great innovation in taking wild (and sometimes poisonous) plants and manipulating them into everyday sustenance such as corn and potatoes.
Bryson takes us through each room of his house, beginning with The Hall, which was the original house - the one room where all the activities of living took place for the family, their servants, and sometimes animals. He covers the development of beds, tables, eating habits, and the fireplace. In The Kitchen we learn about the importance of bread in medieval life. With innovations in the harvesting of ice and canning methods, food could be transported over great distances, significantly broadening the diet, and also portion size. Information is supported by important books of the time, such as Isabelle Beeton's Book of Household Management published in 1861.
Next is The Scullery and The Larder, with an extensive discussion of servants, etiquette, and division of space within the home based on status and nature of work in Victorian society. Bryson points out cultural differences between life in America and in England and how, rather than maintain numerous servants, Americans adopted labor-saving devices. The chapter on The Fuse Box gives the history of light sources from candles and whale oil lamps, through gaslight, to early attempts at electricity. In this and other discussions, the author presents commonly held beliefs (Thomas Edison invented the electric light) and then provides detailed background (Edison developed the method to supply electricity on a large scale).
The Drawing room is where people got "comfortable." Throughout the book, insights to the origins of words offer understanding. …

The National Mall in Washington, District of Columbia — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
John Paul Jones Memorial
National Mall & Memorial Parks, Washington, D.C.
The American Revolution
[Portrait of] John Paul Jones, 1747-1742
A bold captain--fearless even when facing the superior British Royal Navy--John Paul Jones ensured his place in American memory.
Jones, a recent Scottish immigrant, readily accepted an appointment in the new Continental Navy following the start of the American Revolution. He captained several ships during the war and became a celebrated hero. Jones' voyage to fame became a familiar story to immigrants who succeeded through personal achievement instead of inherited right of birth.
In 1779 while captaining the Bonhomme Richard, Jones captured the H.M.S. Serapis during a spectacular and bloody engagement fought within view of the British shore. Dubbed "the pirate, Paul Jones," Jones's exploits reminded British citizens they were not immune from the effects of war. Perhaps Jones' greatest contribution toward American independence was that he became a hero precisely when the cause needed one.
The Memorial
On April 17, 1912, President William Howard Taft dedicated this memorial. Jones is depicted standing defiantly upon the deck of the Bonhomme Richard during battle and

This picture was included in a book by Jeri Warhaftig last year - I chose it tonight because, it'd been such a LONG time since I'd seriously made hollows. I sat down and started to refresh my technique... better stated. I dusted it off. Layers of dust. I had a few failures - as in I didn't get all the holes sealed up and the hollow deflated. BUT - then hit the zone.
How long do you think it should take to make one? I don't know if I've ever talked about the self-imposed time limit I have.
OK, here we go.
I don't believe that a bead should take me longer than 20 minutes to make. I'm not all rah-rah on beads that I hear take people a couple of hours... how can they do that??? My attention span is roughly twenty minutes. YOU have a good 'read' on whether the bead is turning out as planned after about 10 minutes... I figure you're half-way there.
IF after 20 minutes - you've made a huge mistake or absolutely hate it - you can bail, and not feel too bad, as not that much time was invested. I don't like to prolong failure. *or for that matter - repeat it* I learn pretty quick what I did wrong and make note.
Oh... the time on the hollow was 2min. 55 sec. but I got it down to 2 min 15 sec. that's pretty darn amazing.

A GP charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill a Brown Shipley financial adviser is in intensive care after being involved in a serious road accident.
Dr David Crichton, who is due to appear in Winchester Crown Court for trial next week, is being treated in the neuro-intensive unit at Southampton hospital after he was hit by a car while cycling on 11 January in Ferndown, Hampshire, reports the Bournemouth Echo.
It is not currently clear whether he will be able to make the trial, but it seems likely that it will need to be postponed as his condition has been described as 'critical, but stable'.
Prosecutors alleged Critchon 'solicited, encouraged, persuaded or endeavoured to persuade or proposed to a person unknown' to kill Andrew Boldon in February last year.
This followed him waging a nine month harassment campaign against the adviser, during which he sent threatening emails and messages.
The messages were said to have been sent between July 2016 and March last year with the intent of causing 'distress and anxiety' to Boldon.
Critchon appeared before magistrates in Poole on 21 September to answer the charges, but did not enter a plea. The case was adjourned until 19 October at Bournemouth Crown Court where he was charged.
Critchon, who is a long-standing director of the Tolpuddle Gardens GP surgery in Bournemouth, was released on bail on the condition that he did not make any contact with Boldon or any other staff at Brown Shipley Financial Advisers.
According to Brown Shipley's website, Boldon specialised in providing advice to medical professionals.

Exhibition Opening: Sunday October 9th, 2011 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
The opening will be attended by Berry Bickle and Raphael Chikukwa, curator of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe and of the Zimbabwe Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
The exhibition will run until November 13th, 2011.
Suite Europa Nr. 12
We will show two photographic series, Suite Europa and Dual Narratives, along with two films, Ze… and On the Wire. In honor of Berry Bickle's inclusion in the Zimbabwe Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, we will offer a more pointed presentation of her work.
The artist first gained recognition in Germany when she participated in the international travelling exhibition Africa Remix, which began in Düsseldorf. She went on to make guest appearances at the ifa-Galerie in Berlin and Stuttgart with Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie.
Bickle has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows around the world. The video On the Wire, which features Maputo as its backdrop, won the Jury Prize at the Bamako Biennale in 2009. Ze…is a conversation between the artist and Zimbabwe itself; recently shown in Venice, it will now be shown in Berlin.
The photo series Suite Europa takes East Germany and found image templates of Berlin as its starting point. It is being shown for the first time and was conceived specifically for this exhibition. The second series, Dual Narratives, begins by referring to well-known Italian landscape photographer Pietro Pensa, but achieves its own unique interpretations via image editing and processing. In both series, the artist deals with history and a fascination with historical fragments.
Berry Bickle was born in 1959 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Today, she lives and works in Maputo, Mozambique. She studied Fine Art at the Durban Institute of Technology and at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa.

How does one clear out our upload space?
I emptied our largest DB of submissions (11k) that contained image uploads, but it did not seem to affect the upload space allocation.
Also is there a way to identify what forms are contributing to the upload space?
please advise. cb
- BenAnswered on June 25, 2015 at 11:19 AM
Unfortunately there is no easy way to see which form is taking your upload space, but the way you have explained above is the correct way to do it.
Basically you need to go into your submissions and delete the ones that are taking the space and this is only needed for those that are saved for the form with the upload field.
Each time you remove the submission with a file, you are removing that file as well and as you remove it it will clear out your storage space.
One the other hand if you do it on the submissions that are text only (no upload field on the form), you would only remove a little amount of used space.
The only way to know which forms are most likely to eat up your storage space is the upload file size limit. Usually the higher the limit, the bigger files get uploaded and more space is used, so if you know which forms are set as such, it is easy to go in and clear their storage space.
Having all that said, please do make a backup of any data that you might need at a later point, before removing the data from your account.
The easiest way to backup the data would be by using one of our apps such as:
and few others that you can see here: Data Management apps

lulu's. hideaway.
Since this is under the Pet Project section of I.D. Chicago I'm assuming Lulu is supposed to be some type of animal who likes funky modern furniture. In this case, an acrylic geometric house thingie that's 17.7" per side, white on the outside and puruple on the inside. Gotta be honest, don't think there is a chance in hell of getting Lulu or any other pet into this 2001: A Space Odyssey looking piece, but I give it high marks for trying. If you do have a pet that you think will call this baby home, it will cost you or the precious pet $550.

Fuller Partnership "Perfect Fit" to Expand Cassidy Turley into Denver
- Aug 09, 2010
Cassidy Turley's latest expansion move did more than give the company a full-service presence in Denver. The fast-growing company, formed on March 1 with the partnership of a number of former Colliers firms and an assortment of others, found in Denver heavyweight Fuller Real Estate a "perfect fit."
"Our goal is to find the right partners," affirmed Cassidy Turley CEO Mark Burkhart (left), whose growth strategy is firmly footed in finding individuals and firms that offer leadership and a cultural fit. "From a national basis, we have gained a critical mass to best service our clients already. That's why it is important to find the right companies." Indeed, with the addition of what is now known as Cassidy Turley Fuller Real Estate, the service provider now includes more than 1,000 brokers, 600 of them added since Jan. 1. "It's been very exciting and kind of beyond any of our imaginations even a year ago when we were looking at ourselves and (determining) strategy. It's really fallen into place quickly," Burkhart observed.
Fuller was no stranger to Burkhart, who said he has known president & CEO Greg Morris and the company for years and sought to add the firm because of a strong alignment between the two companies' cultures. Morris agreed, noting that, having been with Fuller for 25 years, 15 of them as CEO, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long, long time." While "just about every real estate company" has approached the Denver firm over the years, he said, he liked the cultural fit and the autonomy he will retain. The timing was also right: "As the world changes and the industry continues to evolve, with clients requiring partner services, resources and reaction times, this has been a move that was inevitable," he said. Already, he added, the 50-year-old Fuller, which is well established in the Denver marketplace and services all the major property areas, has a dozen or so new projects.
As for Cassidy Turley, Burkhart plans continued growth, with particular attention paid to tier one markets. The company, which is currently in talks with a number of companies, according to Burkhart, has 420 million square feet of managed space and 60 offices in 20 national markets; it completed more than $13 billion in transactions last year.

I don't think he can use you on the camera without your permission Gregotyn. He has to have your express permission or he is breaking various laws I think, even without the new rules. Have fun with the playgroup theatre. I hope they invite you to one of their shows when you have done the work for them.
We fired one kiln yesterday and got another one loaded. Two of our volunteers very kindly came back in the afternoon and helped us. The other two were rather older (in their mid 80s and not in really good health) so went early. As our volunteer group activity we tried to identify grasses using a new book one of them had, but it wasn't as effective as he hoped. Found I knew more than I thought I did though, and we got quite a respectable number along the ride at the top of the wood.
In quiet times watched the bluetits feeding their young. There are a lot less caterpillars in the world now, and a lot fewer horseflies as we killed loads yesterday. Still think a few got us though.

The 416 fire continues to worsen: "According to the most recent official update on the fire, it had burned nearly 17,000 acres (6,900 hectares) by Sunday evening, an area larger than the island of Manhattan." And it is estimated that it will be June 30 before the fire is contained. Due, I suppose, to the extreme drought conditions, effects of wind, and the very difficult terrain.
Raining when I left home yesterday, overcast but dry when I reached Wave Hill. Rain starting as I started home 4 hours later, raining all the way home, raining all night. Total of one inch by morning.
Poppy event was pleasant. Walk around gardens looking at poppies, poppy relatives, poppy look-alikes. Cooking demo / tasting was a poppy seed lemon salad dressing and a poppy seed lemon cake. And saw a wonderful majestic copper leaved European beech.
Now that the more-involved-than-anticipated renovation of the guest room closet is completed (it had no molding around double doors, no baseboards, shabby paint - you get the idea) it is time to move things back in. The impetus for the closet upgrade was to store the folding ladder used to put up our bedroom skylight curtains in this closet rather than two floors down in the basement.
So I am now sorting through clothing that has been out of sight, out of mind in garment bags. Some is quite nice but I'll likely never wear again. Need to find a consignment shop. Will ask for suggestions at my Wednesday knitting group.
Why does everything that seems simple at the start - why don't we store the ladder upstairs? - end up in an ongoing "adventure"?

It always ends up that way I am afraid Jam Lady. I sometimes put off quite simple jobs because before starting I have to do about half a dozen other things to prepare for them.
That is a beautiful tree. We have a good number like that, and ancient pollards in our wood. I hadn't realised, but we have far more veteran/over mature trees in our wood than is common, and although it does make management difficult, they are very beautiful and a good haven for wildlife.
The fire sounds terrible. I hope the weather helps rather than hinders them and that they bring it under control as soon as possible.
We have just finished another session of charcoal firing. One kiln fired Saturday, the other yesterday. I had a Trefoil Guild meeting in the evening, so had to leave husband to go back up to look after it. During the day we emptied the other kiln and did 30 bags of charcoal, 15 of which went out yesterday, and the remaining 15 will go out today. Then we have the rest of that kiln full to bag, and more later in the week. We have an order for at least 20 more this week, so all go.

I often have the preparation for a job done quickly only to find when I start, I am short of various parts to do the job and which I should have thought about in the preparation stage!
The old tree is another fine example of age and beauty
I completed the making of the play group stage roof, only to find that one of the bolts was too short, (put in the wrong box at work by someone who should read the labels, but could also have come with a bolt consignment. So the play 'thingy' for the play group is complete apart from the new bolt obtained today and to be fitted tonight and will be installed next week, in theory.
The new charcoal burner sounds very good and if you can earn money with it elsewhere then even better. But don't let them get the message that it is easy or you may loose the business if they think it is a simple process and they buy their own! I can understand the need to keep the machine out of the public part of the woods, but that won't control trespassers. I have often wondered if the charcoal would come out square if you put sawn timber in the kiln, which would be more efficient if you can eliminate void areas. Or would it eliminate the burning process altogether!!? It is possible you need void areas to get the right burn? I know nothing about it-obviously.
I am currently hunting a decent 1.2m square pallet with only one middle runner. It will have a piece of plywood nailed to the top half and painted with black board paint for the little dears to practise their writing and maths skills; the bottom half will have some of those plastic balls with holes in them and act as an abacus beneath the black board, with the balls suspended on strings. Finding a good clean pallet that size at our place is difficult if I don't get to it quickly!

I have been attending meetings and markets for the last few days, and being the neighbourhood donkey/samaritan depending on how you look at things.
New neighbours up the road who were there for a week to sort out paint and cleaning issues, neighbours over the road who blew up their engine by not installing the new radiator correctly (I do wish people would get sensible help before playing with motors when they have no clue), and my elderly neighbour across the road who disappeared some time ago to hospital has finally been tracked down to his present whereabouts and his needs sorted out. I was worried they had just stuck him in the nearest old people's home that had a bed, thus isolating him from all he knew, so was pleased to discover he is fit and well and has bought a unit closer to his daughters and looking forward to the move and the increased convenience.
This morning was a meeting by Council to discuss re-zoning to let it go ahead. This is a great proposal for the village but as usual a lot of objections from people who have so little insight into the process that they shot themselves in the foot - ie failed to address the matter under discussion while wildly speculating about water storage tanks blowing up under non-existent pressure. Glad I went as I had heard so much scuttle butt I had lost track of what was actually going on.
I have posted a summary of the meeeting and its implications on my candidate page. I also approached my preferred mayoral candidate and was pleased to hear he will be announcing his candidacy this week.

That blackboard come abacus sounds a good idea Gregotyn, but might the abacus be easier to use if the balls were on wire, not string?
One problem with the charcoal process is that everything stays the same shape, so a failed spoon blank remains the same to haunt me when it comes out as charcoal. I don't think the kiln would work without some air gaps, and also people don't tend to think it is 'real' charcoal' if it is square.
Cassandra, glad you found your neighbour doing well. I ought to take more care over elderly people I know, but I am afraid that I have so much to do that I am barely coping with my immediate problems, without that as well.
Glad you found out what is doing in the council and that things aren't as bad as were rumoured. Sounds hopeful that your favoured candidate is standing too.
We have a day out to do with work today, which I will be able to tell you about later. Anyway a day off from charcoal, and have finally got my nails back to about the right colour. Back to digging out a charcoal kiln tomorrow and bagging up again.

A good idea of yours, MR, to use wire rather than string for the abacus runners. The one I saw had string so that was the way we were going. There are 3 colours so we can do single digits, 10's and 100's more than enough for the pre school gangs to comprehend.
I see what you mean about "regular" charcoal, MR, it would lose its identity if not in random shapes. I would like to try it, however, just because I am that sort of idiot. If it worked then you could be making at least another 20 to 40% depending on how bent the timber is that you put in the kiln, possibly more? If you had to have spaces then it would be possible to stack regular sawn wood with small regular gaps. I don't know what you are complaining about with dark finger nails, MR., why, some girls pay a lot of money to have their nails painted black!!
I have cracked vehicular problems, Cassandra, I pass them on to a suitably qualified mechanic. My limit to the engine is suck, squeeze, bang and blow if it is petrol fuelled, and that is the limit of my knowhow. I was much better with pig husbandry. Now I go to work-pick it up and put it away-sums my job up-3rd store man on the left I call myself-doing the jobs the other lads don't want, and then come home and chop firewood from pallets!
It is more important now that you consolidate your good works for the community, 'cultivating' them ready for the next election.
I am having a run on chopping wood and am doing around 5 nets sawn to length and chopped every day; the next day I net them up ready for sale, and if time, I start the sawing process to try to get ahead of the game, I sell on average 10 per week. I want to get as many as I can before the weather gets colder, when it is not so appealing outside, sawing and chopping firewood. The slowness comes when I have poor quality wood or when it is full of nails or worse staples. I pick the pallets when I can, dry is the main thing but am looking for straight grain to give an easier chop , but a decent amount in the net too. I must keep my customers happy and wanting my wood!

Another problem with your idea about regular sized chucks of wood is that we don't use 'sawn' timber. Ours is usually the thinner stuff or very chunky stuff rough split that is no good for firewood. Some of the hazel is straight, but some of it is like the hind leg of a donkey; you wouldn't believe how randomly hazel can grow under the influence of shade and things nipping out the terminal buds.
I think when girls paint their finger nails black it is an all over colour and proper black. Mine is more a dark stain, mainly down near the nail base. Had to scrub them again yesterday as we emptied the kiln and bagged best part of 40 bags. Couldn't start until the afternoon as it was raining yesterday morning, and charcoal will absorb an amazing amount of water, so wanted it as dry as possible.
You seem to be doing well with kindling Gregotyn. It is a thing that we don't do very much as it is rather labour intensive and we are better employed spending the time doing something else. I could do with making some more besoms, and the firewood orders are piling up rather too.

Gregotyn, we are not all lucky enough to have a suitably qualified mechanic available (and the funds to pay them) as an option - them over the road are both on disability so thought they could do it themselves (never a wise decision and frankly a bit silly when there are so many houses advertising mechanical skills by littering their yards with cars in various states of renovation). But he has mental health issues and the medication does not help his logic skills at times.
It snowed yesterday night and I woke to find the residue melting into the bales of mulch out the back. Fortunately today was a bit warmer though so while I have had the fire going it has not be roaring (though it's getting cranked up at the moment).
I have done nothing useful today being engrossed in various arguments with fools on Facebook, and following some news stories of interest.

Though I don't understand, I don't think I really want to know how "suck, squeeze, bang and blow" works in pig husbandry!

Henry, there is a full stop between the sentences. The 'suck, squeeze, bang, blow,' is my limit of knowledge regarding a 4 stroke, petrol engine, in a vehicle. Though I can understand how you would become confused, if you have not been to an agricultural college, of the difference between a petrol engined vehicle and a pig, as both have 4 parts touching the ground! Alternatively let's not go there!!

You have convinced me regarding regular shaped charcoal MR, My hazel at home is all over the place in its growth habits, as I don't harvest it-maybe I should get a local charcoal burner to come and utilise the stuff I have. One of my neighbours is totally organic and has a burner, which he travels round with, and does 'biochar' for people who want it, which include some of the houses that are opened to the public. He sells biochar and uses it himself for his organic veg. garden. Another thing I wondered about charcoal is does all wood when it is used for charcoal burning, have the same calorific value? It probably doesn't when it starts the process, but may be of one value once converted to charcoal regardless of its timber origin.
I was only thinking you were very "with it" regarding the black finger nails, MR!
My full kindling nets are growing in quantity. I have to do 250 by the end of December at least which I am well on track for, and hoping that the weather stays warm for at least 3 months and more if it can to delay the start of fire lighting time. I am working on them quite well now I seem to have a routine. I could do more if I had another place to chop wood as well and could store the blanks there and carry over what I saw. It is all in the same place so I waste time setting up. It is all a bit too Heath Robinson at the moment. I feel the last 2 years have gone too fast and I have not taken advantage of that time as well as I could have done, doing too many other things and not concentrating on the present/ future needs. An alternative would be to give up work and 'do' at home, draw the horns in-spend less-and may be find part time work for odd days rather than going to work every day for half a day. There may be some changes coming at work and I may be able to reduce my hours I would have to watch that it didn't swallow all the money in fuel, but it would keep my supply going of wood for the kindling. On the one hand.....etc!
I take the point about vehicle servicing, and its cost; but it is your own life as well as other 'accidentally taking part' folks' lives, that is/are in jeopardy. I prefer to be a live, but poor driver, rather than a dead one.
I put the point about the wire for the abacus MR. and she agreed a good idea. I can't find another pallet in good order to make a second pallet counter/blackboard, all our current pallets have something wrong and I have to make another for the other play group this friend runs. I must go now to beat the school buses out of the car park!

Squirrels climb the pole on which the bird feeder hangs. At least the chipmunks stay on the ground.
Himself spent some time manufacturing a support that sticks out from the house. It matches the one on the other side of the kitchen doors from which the rain chain hangs. It was installed yesterday afternoon. Two birds found it right away.
Not 24 hours later a squirrel figured out where it was, and was trying to access it by climbing up the screen door. . .
Squirrels have very sharp claws, and the metal trim around the door is getting scratched.
The feeder is back on the pole. I may hang a plant from the bracket. Stay tuned for future developments.

That is some squirrel, climbing down the door frame, especially if it is metal, no problem for them if wooden, I think I have seen them going upside down on trees. The cat is looking interested in the squirrel, Jam Lady.
This morning I have had a beard trim, by a friend who does this in the local tractor supplier's office on his site-her husband-and is why I am so late in the library. Being there I have heard of a friend whose wife had a call from the "bank"-it happens-however, it was not the bank, and as a result she lost £8,000, as she spoke! The bank rang later to say that there was an unusual amount of movement in the account and was this right? Clearly not. Although I have heard of this happening, it is the first time I have heard of it happening to someone I know.
Weather awful now, raining like stair rods. I am going back to cut and chop firewood. My wood is already to go I prepared last night!

I have heard that Vaseline applied to a bird feeder pole can help stop squirrels climbing. We use a baffle round the pole, primarily to stop the rats climbing up. Works on rats, but the squirrels circumvent it by leaping from neighbouring objects to the feeder pole above the baffle! Furry little s***heads!
Greetings, Jam Lady, to your cat from ours:
He was sleeping after a hard day swearing at the squirrels, and says "Black and white is the way to go!"

How to talk to a girl,For girls, communication is one of the most important components of any relationship – neighborly, friendship or love.
|How to talk to Girls
If you want to approach a particular girl, than you must begin with conversations.
Manual(1)Be sincere boy,Good girls can really track a lie, in addition, you can get lost in their own fictions, and will be in a very disadvantagous position to stand before the object of sympathy.
(2)Show your interest in the body language. Girls usually pay attention to non-verbal signals of interest, so try to smile more and look darling in the eyes and your voice tone should be velvety and pleasant during the conversation .
(3)Radiate optimism. Do not be tempted to complain to the chief, teachers, health, ex-girlfriend, etc. the complainers have absolutely no chance to develop a relationship with an attractive, intelligent and self-sufficient girl.
(4)Feel free to talk to the girlfriend about all of the positive changes that happened to her recently. Either she changed her hairstyle or updated wardrobe, lost weight, etc. – all this may be a topic for pleasant girl talk.
(5)Tell about your emotions. Once you have the desire to hug or kiss the girl – tell her about it.
(6)Keep the conversation with silent pauses. If the girl is not too talkative – take responsibility for the development of the conversation. Tell your friend about yourself, ask her questions about her Hobbies, dreams and desires, impressions from books and movies.
(7)Don't let yourself be into silly jokes and foul language. Any self-respecting girl will stop communicating with the guy which allow such liberties. In addition, you cannot engage in self-promotion and bragging, to focus on his financial position, to criticize the appearance of a friend, her habits and ignorance in any male-dominated fields – fishing, football, etc.

Apparently family comes first for Kanye West!
Us Weekly is reporting that 'Ye dropped everything—including his own record release party—last night to meet Kim at the hospital.
Reportedly, Kardashian started feeling sick late last night and started having contractions. Yeezy was set to make an appearance at a Yeezus release party at Milk Hangar Studios in Los Angeles—where a short film was projected featuring two Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars was projected on the building.
But the "Hey Mama" rapper refused to leave his girl's side after she started feeling ill. Good thing too as he got the best seat in the house when Kim gave birth: He was right by her side the whole time.

UTEL University schools more than 10,000 students in Mexico, but not from a brick-and-mortar location—students need only a computer and a working Internet connection to attend classes at any time that is most convenient for them. The founder of the online school, David Stofenmacher, notes: "Most of our students work full time, and choose to study online because they need the flexibility."
Students are able to tap into resources to further their education in engineering, economics, science, social humanities and graduate studies. Interaction between students and educators happens in several forms, primarily written communication using electronic documents, forums, chats and wikis.
By providing 24/7 access to virtual classrooms and teachers, it is becoming easier to measure a student's learned skills and appeal to alternative learning styles using a combination of online learning and competency-based training.

China's London Eye
Wednesday 07 Nov 2007
Beijing to get Great Wheel of China
Work has started on the world's biggest wheel, in a Beijing Park. The Great Wheel of China will dwarf the London Eye in London, which stands at 135 metres (443 ft) high and since its opening has had more than 30 million passengers pass in and out of its glass pods. The Beijing Great Wheel will stand an extra 73 metres taller at 208 metres (680ft). This height was chosen to celebrate the 2008 Olympics, which opens next August.China is already holder of the "highest wheel" with an earlier effort in the southern city of Nanchang. The Beijing Wheel, which is due to be completed by 2009, will carry 1920 passengers at t time, 40 to each of its 48 compartments, compared with the Eye, which can carry 25 in each pod. The circuit time will be 30 minutes, which is the same as the Eye, but given the visibility in Beijing from the effects of smog, which was reduced to 46 metres at one point last month.

This weekend it was so very rainy here so I decided to put my hands to work. Using Char's idea over at The Pickled Pepper Patch, I created these holiday spoons.
I just love the way these turned out and I am offering them up for sale. This is a set of three handpainted teaspoons. Embellishing each spoon is some wire with a rusty jingle bell and a small hang tag ready for you to personalize. This set is $12.95 plus $4.00 for shipping.

I too have fallen prey to Pininterest. While pinning ideas today, I found a list of questions for each day. I have decided that I would share these questions one at a time and post my answers and look forward to maybe some of you sharing your answers.
Day 1 Question – What is the thing you most wish you were great at?
When I first read this question, a million thoughts went swimming through my head. I wish I was great at being a mother, a friend, a daughter, and teacher. I wish I was great at dancing and singing.
But I think the one thing that I wish I was great at is living life to the fullest by living in the moment. I am one who rigidly schedules things. Down to the fact that I Sunday, I plan the entire meals for the entire week and when I receive a last-minute call to go out for dinner will usually turn it down because I have already defrosted or prepped dinner. The thought of getting in a car and driving to a vacation with no hotel booked freaks me out.
Do I think I should throw all planning and preparation to the wind? No! But do I think that sometimes I miss out on GREAT opportunities because I lacked spontaneity.
So the next time I am running around town and the princess says, "Can we stop and pick some flowers?" or a friend calls asking for company, I am throwing my schedule to the wind and living life in that moment.
We never are promised the next moment.
Continued on my half marathon journey by walking 3 miles today!

The Oliver Bridge was constructed across the Saint Louis River in 1916 by the Interstate Transfer Railway Company, a Wisconsin corporation, under special federal authorization from the 60th United States Congress (Session I, Chapter 31, February 20, 1908). It connects the Gary – New Duluth neighborhood, part of the city of Duluth, Minnesota with the village of Oliver, Wisconsin across the Saint Louis River. The bridge is 1,900 feet (579 m) long and is principally of steel truss construction.
The upper deck carries the single track rail line (formerly a double line, but the 2nd line has since been removed) while a lower deck carries the road connecting Wisconsin Highway 105 to Minnesota State Highway 39.
The upper deck was built so as to allow a streetcar line to be constructed from Gary–New Duluth to south Superior connecting the Duluth and Superior Streetcar systems. The line was never built and the systems were connected across the Twin Ports Harbor.
On the Oliver side, a section of the bridge was built to swing allowing passage of large vessels despite the river only being navigable for a few miles upstream of the bridge. Only one vessel is ever thought to have used this facility, a ferry excursion boat operating between the Duluth harbor and the Fond du Lac neighborhood of Duluth. The ferry service ceased in the 1930s and the swing section has not operated since.
The road deck was originally a wooden deck. Modernization came in 2000 when both states' DOTs (WisDOT and Mn/DOT) cooperated with the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway to jointly fund a reconstruction of the roadway surface, which now features a stronger steel and reinforced concrete deck. A weight restriction, which was lowered to one ton as the road deck deteriorated, was then lifted.
A pedestrian walkway also existed atop the railway deck, but fell into disrepair and is no longer usable.
The Oliver Bridge is currently owned by the Canadian National Railway.

Charging Pennsylvania drivers more for the privilege makes sense today, when the state desperately needs funds to maintain its roads and bridges.
Charging Pennsylvania drivers more for the privilege makes sense today, when the state desperately needs funds to maintain its roads and bridges.
State Sen. John Rafferty, R-Montgomery, chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, and recently proposed $2.5 billion in transportation funding. The plan would raise $1.6 billion by uncapping the tax paid on the wholesale price of gasoline, as well as by raising driver's license and vehicle registration fees.
Under the plan, the average Pennsylvania driver would end up paying about $2.50 more per week by the third year through the combined fee increases and gas price hikes. License fees would rise from the current $29.50 every four years to $50.50 every six years. Vehicle registration, now $36 a year, would rise more sharply to $102 every two years.
Higher gas prices should discourage all drivers from driving unnecessary miles and from unnecessarily idling. But the fee hikes deserve a second look because they will hit low-income Pennsylvanians especially hard. The license will cost drivers about 11 percent more in the long haul; registering a vehicle, more than 40 percent more.
The best idea in the packet is the part that stings speeders and red-light runners — driving behavior that involves bad choices rather than necessity. No driver should speed or run a red light. But people do, all the time, sometimes with fatal consequences. The system should hit violators hard. Rafferty would add a $100 fee to all moving violations on top of existing fines. This measure alone could raise $75 million next year, and $100 million in five years. He also proposes to make license-points negotiations more costly, increasing the citation fee that's now $25 to anywhere from $100 to $300 for drivers who opt to pay fines instead of getting points off their license. That part of the plan would raise about $25.5 million a year.
Pennsylvania needs new revenues to help pay to repair almost 4,400 structurally deficient bridges and more than 10,000 miles of dilapidated roads. Linking the cost of maintaining all these roads and bridges to the drivers who use them makes sense.

About Us
All Regions
Picking a wonderful quote made by an educationist and a freedom-fighter; late Nelson Mandela, from my last article titled Empowerment through scholarship, he said and I quote, "a good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special." He reiterated further that, "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Almost everybody in an education world wishes to have a scholarship at one point or the other in their academic sojourn but in spite of everyone wanting one, scholarships are complicated things. This article looks at ways you can increase your chances of winning the highly coveted scholarships.Much strife to fill out forms and apply for the few candid ones that are available and only a small number of people get them. It appears that there are even many of those scholarship offers out there that go unexploited on a yearly basis. Scholarships cannot be placed in the same category as loans as they differ due to the fact that they are free money that does not require any pay back or interest, hence, they are highly coveted things. And for every soon-to-be graduate or intern-interested student, scholarships are brilliant resume boosters and make an eye-catching effect on any resume. For someone hoping to win a scholarship, the most excellent way to start seeking scholarships is to embark on series of enquiries and search. Most colleges and universities have affiliations with several local, international and private/individual scholarship boards. More often than not, the various scholarships will be highlighted on the school's website; however, a scholarship applicant can always make enquiries as to their genuineness and availability. When this has been confirmed, one can find out how much is up for grabs as scholarship offer and the reasons why they are established. In actual fact, scholarships are not handed over to an applicant on a platter of gold; although some people might be lucky with theirs, you must definitely do your research and application. One of the few ways to increase your chances of winning scholarships is to pay attention to details and contents. Scholarships always come with ample instructions explaining and showing directions on how to effectively and efficiently apply for scholarships. Such information can be found in books, scholarship board websites and also referrals from previous successful winners of scholarships.Al

Something Similar to Swagbucks!
Hey everybody, lately I've been posting about several websites on which you can earn points toward prizes and cash. The pictures can be seen beside this post on flicker, and also on the Pictures of Free $tuff tab. Zoombucks is the site I will talk about today, and it's very similar to swagbucks. You basically just watch videos, get those referalls, check the zDaily to earn a few instant points, search, enter codes, and complete offers to get zoombucks, which are online "credits" which can be used to redeem prizes or gift cards in the store. Now, I know a lot of people out there are skeptical of these sites, but I have pictures as proof that these sites really work. You see, they use your opinions and completed surveys to compile marketing information for companies; they want to learn consumer habits. Watching their ads gets views and potential buyers for advertisers on their site, who most likely pay them for the ad space, and zoombucks and swagbucks in turn pay you in virtual credits toward prizes and things for viewing.

Below is a short narrative I presented to the Environment Program at Loyola this past April. We begin each of our monthly meetings with a brief autobiography from one of the faculty members affiliated with the program; I've found these to be very inspiring and illuminating. I thought I'd post mine here.
I grew up in the woods of northern Michigan, foraging for morel mushrooms, catching bass in crystal clear inland lakes, and walking the lakeshore after storms sifting through assorted amalgams of plastic six-pack holders, driftwood, dead balloons, beach glass, and glacial rocks.
The place I call home, where my parents bought a small wedge of land in 1991, sits directly on the boundary of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore: 35 miles of sandy beaches, steep cliffs, and rolling juniper dotted dunes that back up into pine and aspen transition zones, that then lead to deep rolling hills of maple and beech forests.
When I was in high school I watched some of my favorite hillsides get logged, cleared, and built on: gaudy luxury summer mansions thrown up double-time, echoing disjointed architectural dreams from other regions, distant coasts.
Around that time I read Edward Abbey's novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, and I relished fantasies of sabotaging the Caterpillar earthmovers that decimated the giant northern red oaks I loved to climb.
A couple years later, at a small liberal arts college in southern Michigan, where I majored in philosophy and English, I was introduced to the writings of Gary Snyder and Barry Lopez, and I began to draw connections between bioregionalism and poetics—or how we tell stories about the places we live, and in turn how habitats and ecosystems get into the stories we tell.
But one of my best if also hardest courses in college was a biology class called Michigan Flora—thank goodness for a liberal arts common curriculum. There were two of us students in the class (!), and we spent hours seeking out and identifying various species of plants, trees, and shrubs in the surrounding scrub forests and roadside ditches next to vast cornfields. I took this scientific knowledge home with me the next summer, and my sense of the place I called home became even more ingrained.
Later in college I started spending the summers in Wyoming, where I worked as a river guide on the Snake River within the wild, 27-mile corridor between Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park called the J.D. Rockefeller Memorial Parkway. This was a beautiful area, but the lodgepole pines did nothing for me compared with the lusciously soft white pines back in Michigan, and the tourism industry of the American West made my woes about northern Michigan tourists seem quaint. My second summer in Wyoming, I also worked a stint on a trail crew for the National Forest Service, and got to know a good portion of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, clearing brush and maintaining rugged routes.
After college I was still drawn to this region, in part due to early forays into the literature of the American West, and I decided I wanted to move to a mountain town. After working another river rafting job in Arizona for a season, I found my way to Bozeman, Montana, where I had been accepted into a Master's program in English. Every minute that I wasn't reading for graduate seminars, working on papers, or teaching freshman writing, I obsessively fly-fished in the creeks and rivers that wind around the Gallatin Valley and eventually form the Missouri River.
In graduate school my interests in philosophy merged into what in English is called "critical theory," and concepts from this interdisciplinary node shaped my Master's thesis, which analyzed the strange language of 'Nature' in texts ranging from Terry Tempest Williams's stark desert notes to glossy magazine advertisements for sport utility vehicles. I drew from eco-feminism, semiotics, and deconstruction in order to complicate the as-if simple messages of landscape, environment, and region embedded in literary and cultural texts of the American West.
But meanwhile, as I was working on my MA and fishing the rivers, something else weird was happening. I had taken a part-time job at the Gallatin Field Airport, eight miles outside of town, with the intention of simply making a few hundred extra bucks a month to cover my rent. But as it goes with some part-time jobs in life, I started volunteering to cover my co-workers' shifts, and in a matter of months I learned all the various parts of the operation: loading bags, de-icing the planes, emptying the onboard toilet, operating the jet-bridge, pushing back the plane to the taxiway, creating itineraries for passengers...soon I was working nearly full-time at the airport, strange late and early hours that let me keep up with my studies (not to mention my fishing regimen).
Over time the bizarre environment of the airport mesmerized me, including all the ways that people were syphoned in and out of this signature region via the eerily generic terminal building. I worked at the airport during the state-of-exception called 9/11, and I watched the norms of air travel morph and twist with the swinging politics of that time.
When I finished my Master's program, I turned in my United Airlines uniform and headed West once again, this time to Davis, California, where I had been accepted into a PhD program in English—this was the place to be for studying eccentric topics where nature and culture collided. At UC Davis, under the Pacific Flyway where every day the paths of migrating birds and Air Force cargo planes intermingle, I continued to study 20th-century American literature, environmental aesthetics, and critical theory.
At Davis I worked as a Research Assistant for my professor Timothy Morton as he wrote his books Ecology Without Nature and The Ecological Thought. Tim's ideas about the construction of Nature capital 'N' in literary history had a profound influence on me, and consequently inspired me to ask different sorts of questions about the roles of literature, poetics, and narrative with respect to concepts of environment.
All the while, my airport work experiences were simmering in my brain. It occurred to me somewhat gradually that I had spent lots of time in a particularly rich—if also particularly fraught—kind of ecotone.
I started to notice weird airport scenes in a wide range of literary and cultural texts, and started to keep records of these strange instances, and how they depended on notions of place, space, and environmental awareness (or not). I ended up writing my doctoral dissertation on this topic, which then formed the basis for my book The Textual Life of Airports: Reading the Culture of Flight, which I wrote during my first couple years at Loyola University New Orleans.
Over the past four years at Loyola I've continued to write about air travel, always coming from an oblique environmental sensibility. And I've started to write a book about my home, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which I'm thinking of as a sort of 21st-century Walden—modestly place-based, but rife with larger questions and puzzles about what nature means in contemporary American culture.
My interests in environment filter into all of my courses, in the sense that the detail-oriented kind of literary reading I teach is translatable to ecological perception: how different organisms and habitats interrelate and co-shape one another.
In a more literal sense, the course I taught a couple years ago called "Environmental Theory" was a philosophical adventure (for the students as well as for me), and I look forward to teaching another iteration of the course in the near future. Next semester, I am teaching a Literature and Environment course, and I'm very excited to introduce students to a range of ways that literary texts rely on, invent, and explore notions of environment.
I'm currently working as co-editor for a series of essays and books called Object Lessons: these are pithy essays and beautifully designed short books on single objects and the lessons they hold. My collaborator on this series is Ian Bogost from the Media Studies Center at Georgia Tech. He's bringing what we might call the technological angle to the project, and I see myself as bringing an environmental or more ecological angle to the series. In brief, we're hoping to create a series that is equally appealing to media studies scholars and naturalists—a series that productively blurs and challenges the nature/culture divide.
Ideally Object Lessons will be a long running series of essays and books covering all sorts of different things, such as honey, hurricane, heliotrope, Velcro, volvaria, copper wire, cruise ship, cilium, silt—the list of possible topics is quite literally endless, and cuts across the boundaries of human invention and natural dissemination. My hope is that by focusing on single things, in succinct and accessible essays, we can then better appreciate how all these things coexist (and when they don't) in this world, or in this life, or whatever it is that we mean when we call on 'environment' to do rhetorical, moral, or political work.

I question this journey.... I have many unanswered questions at the moment, yet I have a peace about me that can only be from God. This is not my journey; but His. I am trying my hardest to be strong and full of hope. Suddenly my priorities have shifted... I want my energy back, I want to do so many things still. I pray for peace, I fight back tears... but I know I'm not myself. I know my patience is being tested... I know I have no choice but to be patient and I am trying not to worry... that is easier said than done... 8 years and my fears must be faced. I can no longer push this under a rug, hide this like I did something wrong. I am ready, I am strong, I will fight whatever fight I need to fight. I am humbled completely.

Education and The Law: A Wake-Up Call
1st February 2018
Sunday 28 January teachers, parents, and church members gathered at the Advent Centre in London for a seminar entitled Education and the Law: Challenges Facing Schools in a Secular Society, How to be Wise Yet Harmless. This informative and very well delivered event was organised by the South England Conference (SEC) Education department. Hearts were steered as the two main speakers spoke through the eyes of God's law and the law of the land. This is in view of the upcoming government proposal to teach children as young as 5 years of age the new proposed relationships and sex education. The government has opened this to public consultation and the last day for which the nation are to respond is 12 February 2018. The immediate response of the audience after this event was, "this is a wake-up call!"
The issues at hand are the government's plans to have sex education compulsory in all schools in England. Primary school children will also get education on safe and healthy relationships and children will also be taught about transgender and same-sex relationships. This is derived from the government's stance to promote British values, in this case sexual orientation. Other British values include tolerance of different faiths and beliefs, democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect.
Beginning with a devotional, SEC President Dr Emmanuel Osei read from Mark 8: 24-25, where Jesus healed a blind man twice. With Jesus' first touch, the man could only see people as walking trees, but the second touch restored his vision totally. Dr Osei said, "we too have a blurred vision, today we need the touch of Jesus, so our vision can be clear."
The guest speaker Roger Kiska, a legal counsel at the Christian Legal Centre in London, with an extensive experience before the European Court of Human Rights brought good news to the audience. First through the encouragement found in his favourite scripture Deuteronomy 31:6, "to have courage and not be afraid" and then through his knowledge of the law pertaining to the dilemmas parents and teachers find themselves in, within the secular school systems. He said parents have a right to remove their children from the classes which they feel are inappropriate for their children, and teachers also have a right not to teach sexual relationship classes.
Kiska and his organisation deems teaching sex education to young children as inappropriate. He added that deciding to teach the children is what is inappropriate. He also informed the audience of what other ministries of education in Europe are teaching. An example was that in Belgium, primary school children are taught to name the different variety of sexual positions, whilst the class teacher uses Gummy Bears to demonstrate those positions. The World Health Organisation has some curriculum teaching children as young as 4 years old sexual education. Therefore "we cannot guarantee what will be deemed as appropriate by our government's new sex education proposal to be taught to our youngest children", Kiska said.
Pastor Kavaloh, retired Seventh-day Adventist pastor and director of the AdventReligio – Legal Perspective Ministry highlighted how vital it is for every member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to respond to the consultation. "It must not be business as usual, we must, as in 1 Peter 3:15, 'but in your hearts revere Christ as Lord, always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.'"
Pastor Kavaloh continued that not all British values are at fault. Therefore, fundamental British values like democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs are to be embraced. However, "when fundamental British values contradict with fundamental biblical principles in public life, my liberty of conscience dictates that the later takes precedence", said Pastor Kavaloh.
"I really liked how Pastor Kavaloh taught on this subject and even used the backing of Bible texts," said one attendee, "he showed that Religious Liberty is not a religious licence to provoke anyone. One can be assertive without being aggressive." Pastor Kavaloh ended with Matthew 10:16, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."
There was also time for testimonies, sharing the difficult times that teachers have had, but also how God has come through for them. SEC Education director and Head Teacher of Hyland House School, Gina Abbequaye who organised the event said she and her team will continue to support teachers and parents in this area. She furthermore urged everyone to go back to their churches and encourage each member and also young person (16-19 years) to fill in the consultation.
The event ended with a season of prayer. Dr Osei asked the individuals who thought their situation was critical, to stand up for prayer. He prayed for them and also for everyone a prayer that felt so full of the power of the Holy Ghost.
