Well, that was depressing. Is Ian McEwan the natural successor to [a: Thomas Hardy|15905|Thomas Hardy|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1429946281p2/15905.jpg]? I have to confess I knew nothing about
except that the film adaptation came out a few years ago (if eight qualifies as a few). It did receive glowing reviews but did not pique my interest much, I filed it away in my head as "may be if it comes on telly". However, I literally* stumbled on the audiobook on Youtube and decided to give it a listen (in numerous sessions as it is almost 6 hours long). The audiobook is beautifully narrated by Isla Blair but it almost ruined the original book due to lack of chapters and parts indications that you get in most audiobooks. What this means is that it is read in one massive narrative lump without any clear divisions to indicate changes of scene, time periods, or switches in narrative points of view. These things can be figured out but it makes for a messy narrative, I will have to buy the printed book for a reread later. (The print version is clearly organized into chapters and major parts. I checked).
Any way, enough of the story filtered through to me to become intrigued. Here is a story about Briony, a thirteen year old girl who wrongly accused a man of raping her cousin, leading to his arrest and several years of imprisonment. As she grows into adulthood it begins to dawn on her that she may have been mistaken, by the age of eighteen she wants to actively set things right. Thanks to the confusing audiobook (dis)organization the story did not have much as an impact on me as it should have done. I was not able to empathize with the characters as I would need to do in order for the story to resonate. This is not Ian McEwan's fault, the book is superbly written and the characters well drawn, it is more like a technical problem caused by the audiobook. Six hours seem like a long running time compared to movies but the book is 351 pages long and it would take me at least a week to read (allowing time for getting on with my life). Consequently I felt the book whizzed by me and I was just getting into end when it ends!
Still, I did find the storyline to be intriguing and book emotionally charged, especially in a poignant confrontation scene between the adult Briony and the wrongfully imprisoned Robbie Turner. Though I do find it a bit odd that a thirteen year old girl's accusation carries so much weight given that the evidence against the man seems to be very circumstantial. The epilogue is quite the twist, very well played by McEwan. Had me reeling a little bit. So a great story somewhat spoiled (for me) by the confusing audiobook structure (not Ms. Isla Blair's fault I suspect).
In all fairness I would rate it as follows:
4 stars for the book (could be 5 after a proper reread).
2 stars for the audiobook (they removed book's structure of chapters and parts).
5 stars for Isla Blair's reading.
* I was seated at the time.

Let's plan a Halloween party! This year's theme will be based on the exciting, extreme TV show called Sons of Anarchy (Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original) SAMCRO. If you haven't watched this amazing television drama, then go straight to Hulu.com, set up an account and watch them all from the beginning. You can also go to FX Network and watch episodes there. The final season is over now, so set your DVRs to catch every exciting rerun.
SOA will be in full swing by October 31st, so everyone will want to be dressing up like a biker or a biker chick. They will want the sleeve tattoos (wearable tattoos that look so real), and some temp tattoos to place in various other parts of the body. Did you know that there are tramp stamp temporary tattoos? Well, there are, so if you are into doing the slutty porno star (also part of the Sons of Anarchy theme), then you will be able to find all sorts of sexy Halloween costumes this year.
Here's a rundown of the characters from the show:
Now the characters are what make Sons of Anarchy special. To plan a party theme around this show means you need to understand the ways and means of a motorcycle gang. Just remember that it's not real, it's a Halloween Party! You can be your own character!
Wardrobe choices for Sons of Anarchy Video:

Watch the video to get a real feel for the types and styles of the main characters. Sometimes it's just a basic costume idea that makes the best Halloween show!

Halloween Food and Tricks and Treats
Keep it simple and easy to manage. Think of great finger foods. Don't forget Halloween themed napkins and paper plates. Black forks and spoons and knives for plastic ware, drink cups Have guests bring some simple snack food.
A good spiked Hawaiian punch, (red) with smoking dry ice will be a hit. Non-alcoholic punch will be cool too. Here's a cute trick to keep the punch cool if you don't have dry ice. Fill a rubber glove or two with water and freeze it. Then remove the glove and plop the hand into the punch! Using gloves of different sizes creates a killer effect.
Don't forget cute little gifts for best costume, best sexy costume, most authentic, etc. Make some motorcycle club style patches with titles that people can wear on their costumes. Name your own Motorcycle Club! Choose names like:
Halloween Décor for Sons of Anarcy theme
A Harley-Davidson motorcycle, of course. The more the better. If you know people with motorcycles, invite them over and be sure to include their hogs! You can rent a Harley in some towns if you don't have one. Or maybe just some big posters of various Harley's will do.
Leather furniture is good. You could rent or borrow some if you don't have your own. Having the party outdoors is nice too. We have a yearly bonfire for Halloween, weather permitting.
Black and Orange streamers fit in perfectly with a biker party! Anything with skulls or the grim reaper would work. Maybe a lamp or a photo stand up of the reaper. Carved pumpkins with a biker theme would be fantastic.

Nevada Senate approved a measure May 29 that would lower the state's
legal blood-alcohol limit.
proposal, which passed by a 19-2 vote, previously passed the Assembly.
It now heads to the governor.
sponsored by Assemblyman Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas, lowers the standard
for drunken driving in the state from 0.10 percent blood alcohol
content to 0.08 percent.
bill has an $82,000 cost to the state Department of Corrections
included with it over two years due to an expected increase in the
number of inmates sent to prison for driving under the influence,
the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The cost is based
on one additional inmate being sent to prison every four months
for a three-year sentence.
costs pale, however, when compared with the penalties Nevada will
incur beginning next year from the federal government if the limit
is not lowered.
2000 federal law requires each state's legislature to adopt the
0.08 limit by 2004 or lose 2 percent of its road money.
would lose $28.4 million in federal money over the next four years
if it does not lower the drunken driving limit, the newspaper reported.
that adopt the new limit by 2007 can recover the withheld funds.

Ed Brayton is unimpressed with the University of Wisconsin's recent decision to allow two of its campuses to continue to prohibit dorm RAs from holding Bible study in their dorm rooms.
The problem with all of this is that their policy doesn't support their alleged goals. They defend the policy by saying that RAs "must be prepared to fulfill employment-related responsibilities any time they are in their room or residence hall." But if this is really the reason for the restriction, why don't they ban all meetings in the dorm rooms of RAs? Wouldn't an RA having a chess club meeting or even a poker game make them unavailable in exactly the same sense?
First of all, poker is a hallowed college tradition that shouldn't be tampered with. But seriously, while initially I'm skeptical about Brayton's arguments, he does have a point. I'm sure I would have been completely weirded out in college if my RA was asking me and my dorm-mates to a Bible study group, but so what? As long as the RA does her/his job, why should the college single out this one activity from a long list of creepy-but-legal things an RA could be doing, like doily making, shovel racing, or, apparently, interofficing dead rats (which, perhaps not surprisingly, comes up first in a Google search for "creepy but legal")?
College students should be prepared to deal with a little weirdness. It'll probably help them when they get to that weirdest place of all: the real world.

text: ORIGINAL_ARTICLE An investigation of the effect of heat treatment on surface roughness in machining by using statistical analysis In the present paper, the effect of heat treatment on the surface roughness of AISI 4140 steel has been investigated by use of paired t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The paired t-test was performed to determine the differences between the means before and after heat treatment. One way ANOVA was used to further evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the difference in variances between two groups. According to the statistical analysis, it was concluded that heat treatment has decreased the surface roughness at the 95% confidence level. The improvement of surface roughness varies from 37% to 45% with various combinations of experimental parameters. http://ijstm.shirazu.ac.ir/article_923_02e96f2ac9e9819a0ee6f0d034e10fa7.pdf 2010-10-31T11:23:20 2019-01-22T11:23:20 591 595 10.22099/ijstm.2010.923 Surface roughness Heat treatment Statistical analysis

Reflection on 2014 Board Leadership Forum, is the first of two reviews submitted by Kent Castleman. The session on executive transition was also reviewed by Carrie Minnich.
Attending the Big Leadership Forum by BoardSource was a great experience for me as a non-profit executive director, founder, board member and Get on Board Committee Member.
We are very blessed to have the level of training and non-profit board governance we have in Fort Wayne and Allen County which has been led by the Foellinger Foundation, but supported and embraced by many other funders and supporters.
The theme of the conference was Governance By Design which allowed for an overwhelming focus throughout the conference on being intentional about nonprofit engagement and intentional about your role as a board member/leader.
So many times people are asked to be on a board without doing their own homework to understand the culture and environment of that board or organization. The conference speakers focused on this point throughout the conference….. "Intentionality leads to success. "
Leadership Transition and Succession…
As the founder and Executive Director of the Cornerstone Youth Center serving youth in Southeast Allen County, I have many worries when it comes to the time I might move on past Cornerstone.So I spent several of my workshop sessions reviewing leadership transition and succession planning.

The Natural Approach and the Input Hypothesis
The Natural Approach is the method focusing on providing understandable spoken language known as comprehensible input and classroom atmosphere without anxiety. Learners listen to the teacher's use of the target language and try to understand it while remaining silent. If this comprehensible input is provided adequately, language acquisition progresses "naturally" (Larsen-Freeman). Also, because learners are not forced to speak until speech "emerges," suitable classroom environment can be provided (Brown).
The Input Hypothesis claims that language acquisition automatically occurs when learners understand language that incorporates structure "beyond their current level" with extra-linguistic information (Krashen). In this way, learners' progress follows the natural order, moving from the current stage i to i+1 (Ellis). When comprehensible input (i+1) is well understood, speaking "emerges" (Brown).
Likewise, the Natural Approach and the Input Hypothesis are very similar and somewhat overlapping. The Natural Approach seems to be a pedagogical application of the Input Hypothesis. The Natural Approach is based on ideological foundations of Krashen's Monitor Theory, which includes the Input Hypothesis as one of the five hypotheses (Markee). Based on the claims mentioned in the Input Hypothesis, the Natural Approach allows curriculum design. For instance, the teacher can prepare various comprehensive inputs depending on learners' proficiency. The teacher can also be patiently waiting learners' production and not overly correcting their errors in order to reduce anxiety.
Consequently, the Input Hypothesis provides foundations for the Natural Approach which subsequently serves as a practical way of application.

"Everyone's connected but no one is connecting,
the human element has long been missing.
Tell me have you seen it? Have you seen it?
Or are we alone?"
– Lyrics from Alone by Armin van Buuren
I'm currently obsessed with Armin van Buuren's new album Intense, especially the track Alone; on a superficial level the song is pure aural enjoyment but offers the listener a truly thought-provoking experience when you listen to the lyrics. I found myself considering our human need for connection. We live in an age where you can avoid physical human interaction almost completely but can digitally connect with people more intimately than ever before. All over my twitter timeline I've seen tweets about people's virtual connections and how social media has impacted our human interactions. Notebook of love tweeted: "Relationships are harder now because conversations becomes texting, arguments become phone calls, and feelings become tweets"
When I created this blog one driving force behind it was the need to make a connection with others, to inspire the way so many others have inspired me. I wanted to feel a part of the bigger picture to leave my mark in whatever way the future has set out for me. What I didn't expect was how this desire would impact and affect me. I've been reluctant to post my personal thoughts because even though I'm relatively anonymous the process can leave the author feeling very exposed. There is also something to be said about the catharsis of allowing yourself to be vulnerable even if you're still hiding behind the screen. The various social media communities offer us a way to connect with like-minded people who weren't accessible in the past, virtual strangers can become best friends without ever meeting in the physical world. One of my closest friends has never physically met me but I feel more connected to her than some people I have known almost my entire life. Our shared pop culture interests allowed us to develop a very real friendship, which I have found is increasingly rare for adults. I am constantly interacting with people in my day-to-day life but have yet to make a connection as deeply as the few I have forged during my brief foray into this social media world. There are so many inspiring stories that have left me in awe and rejuvenated my belief in the good of humanity. There is a melancholic feeling that comes from realizing that some of my more profound interactions have come through a screen but I'm also hopefully optimistic for how I can translate my virtual social confidence into the real world.
So if this is our future what does that mean for connections? I'll leave you with the lyrics from one of my favorite songs:
"If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect"
– Lyrics from Communication by The Cardigans

The Glendale Quilt Guild reaches out to people in surrounding cities as well as those across the country with its Loving Hands project.
Closer to home, members sew small quilts for newborns in intensive care units at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center and Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. Larger quilts are donated to the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study based at UC San Diego.
The group leaders provide members with material and batting, and they sew the quilts at home, said chairwoman Pat Golditch of Glendale. They bring back the finished projects to guild meetings, which are at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month at Glendale Central Library.
"When I retired 10 years ago and looked for volunteer opportunities and hobbies, I found that Loving Hands rolls both of those into one," she said. "I love to make quilts, and you can only use so many in your home or give them to family, so what better thing to do than to give them away."

Hi! I'm really tired today but that's not any different from other days! The good news is that it is bright and sunny here, the best weather.
This week we had divisions with the other elders. I went to a part of the city called Ramos Mejìa with Elder Canales, he's from El Salvador. It was a great day with him! He is one of the elders in the offices, so to go from our area to theirs, they picked us up in their car! I know that sounds super normal but this isn't the Mesa AZ mission where every companionship gets a car. Our mission has 3 cars, and one of those is President's! So it isn't very often that we get to ride in it. I was very excited.
We played soccer the other morning and I rolled my ankle pretty bad. After ice, elevation, and some prayer I was ready to go and now I'm walking fine with a brace.
Our investigator, E, has come to church 3 weeks in a row now! He just is waiting to finish college which ends this next week and then he said he can spend time reading the Book of Mormon and will be baptized. He is a great kid!
The church is starting a new Christmas program that is going to be coming out this week so make sure you are all looking out for it!
Also Elder Dominguez (my son!) just got put into the mission offices!

I deliberately chose to use the imagery of an X-ray, a medical device used to ascertain the state of ones lungs and heart to discuss two years of the Buhari administration. An X-ray can show how healthy a person is and what has to be done to regain one's health or perhaps show that one's health is so bad that a surgical operation would need to be done to save the patient. In this case the patient is both Nigeria and to a lesser extent the APC as a party in government.
Some two years ago many Nigerians, including my humble self, felt that our country was so badly governed that it had gone to the dogs so to say and we wanted a change. We were so desperate for a change that any alternative would have been preferred. Then came the bringing together of some disparate political groupings of the CPC, the ACN and a breakaway faction of the PDP. After serious negotiations it was agreed that General Muhammadu Buhari who had failed three times to be elected president should carry the flag of the APC against the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.
Buhari brought to the ticket a messianic figure especially among the poor particularly in the north the so-called talakawa and the intellectual elite in the south which felt Nigeria was too big and important to be led by a bumbling leader like Jonathan whose only qualification for the post was that he represented an ethnic minority as well as the oil-producing region of the country. The argument was that even if he represented those two important elements, he had demonstrated no capacity to benefit the region. All that he was doing was to open up the treasury to a minuscule of people from the oil producing region as well as other Nigerians grovelling before him to share the patrimony and treasure of the country. His regime not only shared the proceeds of the oil of the country, he also in the words of President Olusegun Obasanjo turned the tragedy of Boko Haram overrunning the north-east of the country into an ATM for those around him. Military procurement was turned into a free for all while the children of poor people who constitute the bulk of the army rank and file were sent poorly kitted sometimes without shoes and with weapons that would not fire to confront better armed Boko Haram insurgents. While this was going on he and his minister of Abuja shared between them hundreds of hectares of land for "agricultural purposes" in Abuja. One hopes that whatever can be forfeited to the people and government of Nigeria will be swiftly recovered from all those who have appropriated public property for personal benefit .Two years is long enough for us to begin to see the result of "change". HopE deferred can lead to frustrations.
Buhari promised to drive away Boko Haram from the north-eastern part of the country. I believe he has succeeded in this endeavour but more needs to be done. Boko Haram is still striking at it wishes in the North-east and the Chibok girls and other captured Nigerians are still in Boko Haram prison in the forest. Some people including government officials are allegedly feeding and feasting on the tragedy of the displaced and apparently abused victims of this terrible problem. About half a million children are said to be out of school and roaming around in the North-east. Unfortunately this will be the army of a future insurgency unless something is done. There is a need for coordination of federal, state and NGO's effort in tackling the problem of the IDPS. It is haram for any individual or group to feed fat on the tragedies of others. There is a need for the army to make the final push aided by the police and all other security agencies to stamp out insecurity. Including cattle rustling and herdsmen menace all over the country. This is an area where this government has failed.
The economy in the last two years has been in recession caused by external shocks and militancy in the Niger Delta as well as our country's hopeless dependency on hydrocarbon exports. It is hoped that the effort at diversification of the economy will work and that we will never again be held hostage by the international oil cartels and the militants in the Niger Delta. Our hope will be further boosted when the Dangote petrochemical industry in Lagos comes on stream late 2018 which will lead to national self-sufficiency in gasoline and other petroleum products currently being imported with foreign exchange which could have enhanced the value of our currency as well as used for highly needed imports that could boost our local productivity. This government must block forever all avenues for looting. This may require separate revenue courts to try by jury of ordinary people economic crimes. By doing so, the hordes of lawyers benefiting from the economic sabotage and misfortune of the country will be put in their places. This government must publish names and amount of money recovered from looters and money so recovered must not be lumped with general revenue but appropriated for special projects such as strategic roads and railways.
The infrastructure of this country still needs much to be desired. Roads are bad. Telecommunications are poor and inefficient and electricity is virtually non-existent in major urban area as well as in the rural areas of the country. We need 100,000 megawatts not the 3000 megawatts that have been available for the past decade without noticeable increase in spite of billions of dollars spent on the sector. There can be no industrialization without electricity. There is need to declare emergency in this sector and open it to the rest of the world with whatever incentive that is needed.
Finally we have to X-ray the politics of this regime. I am sorry to say that it took the regime two years before waking up to the demands of those who brought it into power for board and other appointments. When it was done, the appointments went to the wrong people especially to remnants of the old discredited regime. This regime seems averse to benefiting from the intellectual elite particularly in the south. The regime can learn one or two things from Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose regime and subsequent ones in Lagos State have been rewarded by their co-option of this critical group into governance. Most of the beneficiaries of this regime were in the previous regime or stood askance when the campaign was on to dislodge the previous corrupt regime. It is also clear that President Buhari's political horizon is not as wide as it should be. He has not made use of the best people in the country who supported the movement to remove the last regime. He should have used political appointments to build a unified and united APC whose supporters will be committed foot-soldiers of the party in 2019 irrespective of whoever is at the head of its presidential ticket. The president should also have used political appointments to lure into the party people who did not support him so that he can build a mass movement around the party. Disaffection with his government is palpable in the South-west where party people feel they have been dealt a bad hand. This government must hearken to the voice and desire of the people to restructure the country. If the question of restructuring of the country is an emotive issue, the issue of devolution of power and resources should not be. A situation in which civil servants ,teachers, doctors and public servants generally all over the country are being owed a year or even two years salaries has become untenable and an urgent necessity. From revelations in recent times, looting of the treasury is mostly concentrated in the federal domain where there is too much power and resources and little managerial capacity to handle so much funds. I am not saying stealing is not going on at states level but the incidence of roguery at the centre compels us to demand devolution of resources and responsibilities. All parts of the country will benefit from it and it should not be seen as a zero sum game by any part of the country. It is better to manage this kind of devolution from above than wait for it from below.

From FHOTD: When is it ok for the authorities to NOT do their jobs?
When an approximately 1 year old filly gets buried alive, or so it seems.
It has been reported that by March 30, 2012 this filly had been starved so badly that she was no longer able to stand. It was at that point the owners decided to dig a large hole near the fallen filly, drag her into it using their truck, and proceeded to bury her alive.
Pretty unbelievable, right? Except there are pictures and even video footage of filly and her future grave, and when it gets too dark to see, the neighbors videoing this atrocity narrate the event.
The following is an excerpt from a rescue's website, reporting on a conversation with a girl living on the property. The report has since been taken off the website, more on that later.
"There were two horses there, one bay emaciated mare, one chestnut gelding that was also horribly thin. A girl came out of the house and Valdia confronted her. She claimed that they just moved there two days before. This was obviously a lie, since she went on to divulge information about the horses and their "racing careers". The gelding was apparently a Standardbred and the mare apparently a Thoroughbred, although it was impossible to tell the breed under the matted muddy dull coats and jutting bones underneath. The girl mentioned a lip tattoo common in Thoroughbred racehorses and motioned to the bay mare. When Valdia asked her why they hadn't fed the horses, she shrugged and said "We don't like horses." As she was questioned, she slipped and said that "Someone got drunk and hurt him" motioning to the gelding. She promptly realized that she shouldn't have said that and wouldn't say another word."
Apparently people had been calling the animal control office for three weeks prior to this taking place. And even after receiving reports of the dead filly, they still didn't come out until April 1st – after another horse died. This time it was the dam of the filly. A woman from a local rescue had brought out hay for the two still living, but starving, horses and rather than heed her instructions, the owners threw the entire bale out to them. The mare died several hours later, presumably from colic as a result of overfeeding after suffering from starvation. (This was, of course, not the first bale the woman brought out for these horses. The first one mysteriously disappeared and was definitely not fed to the horses…)
So now there are two dead horses: one starved and buried alive, one starved and dead, presumably from colic. What does the Animal Control office do? They go and demand that the rescue remove any and all information (including photos and videos) relating to this situation from their website. Why, you may ask? Well, they're trying to say that this information could impede the investigation – but it's already out there. Damage done. Move on and let's nail these horse-abusing bastards! The time for the AC to try to limit free speech was likely sometime around when they were first contacted about these "people" (and here I'm using the term very loosely).
Moving on. So the AC is investigating – that's awesome! Their first stop on that investigation? The horse rescue that brought hay to the starving horses. That's right, they went there and insisted upon reviewing their nonprofit paperwork and then took copies. Does anyone know what that's about? Neither the rescues, nor I, can make sense of it.
What do you do if your local Animal Control doesn't seem to care? You contact the local Sheriff's office. Except, apparently they're not answering their phones… One lucky person who got through reported that they were told felony charges are "pending". Which I find particularly interesting seeing as, according to an email I received from the DA, my email was the first he had heard of the issue. I had been under the impression that criminal charges were prosecuted by the District Attorney. Quick! Someone tell them there's a breakdown in their communication system!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE PEOPLE?! There's a dead filly, possibly that was buried alive. There is photographic evidence of two starving horses, one of which is already dead. Is that not enough to act upon? Can't that get you onto the property and into a position where the body of the filly could be exhumed, then a necropsy performed to see if her lungs were full of dirt? I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV but that seems fairly logical to me. Or is there no room for logic in the legal system?
I understand it's still pretty early in the process of investigation but the clock's ticking! That filly was buried March 30th, that's almost two weeks ago. If anything is going to happen, it needs to happen fast. Unfortunately it sounds like the Animal Control office has already dropped the ball. Why didn't they investigate three weeks prior to April 1st when they were originally made aware of these people?
Why are the neighbors so afraid of them that they hide across the street filming and are so scared they're hesitating to file a report with the DA? Could it perhaps have something to do with this excerpt from the original account reported by the rescue?
"The neighbors were interviewed and told us more and more horror stories about the people – apparently these horses had been the victims of beatings and God knows what else, for entertainment they would abuse and hurt them on top of starving them. The owners had been shooting at people, scaring the horses, had been running the horses into barbed wire fences on purpose when they were drunk, had tied the horses heads back with bits to their chests and left them like that for entire days."
There is something wrong here, above and beyond the preventable deaths of those two horses. Grab your pitch forks and light your torches folks because we've got monsters among us!

Every Single One of the negligent AssHats who made the CHOICE not to do thier job thusly allowing these horses suffer and Die needs to be publicly excoriated, fired, fined and held for a public trial ( no Deals at all). It's nature's experiments like the the people in this report who make me think that Kafka had the right idea in "The Penal Colony".
People (like those "owners") fucking suck. Poor, poor horses…
FHOTD – Thank you so much for helping to get this information out there. I personally sent emaiils and send letters via regular mail to all these agencies on April 10th and have yet to receive a response, so the DA is being less than honest saying this is the first he's heard of it.
Lets go bury them alive like the horse.
Wow and FUCK.
This just makes me sick to the guts.
I can handle an asshole starving a horse – just. I can't handle them being physically abused and tortured.
And boy I wish the authorities could be held accountable as well for their lack of response.
I feel sick….
You'd think that if they had the guns and ammunition to shoot at their neighbors that they would be able to at least give their horses a clean and quick death before they ran out of money to feed them on. I'd personally rather shoot a fat/happy horse than wait for the time to come that they need to be put out of their misery.
They did have the ability to put the horses down. It was part of their "entertainment" to torture the horses. These pre-hominids are not human in that they lack both souls and a pre-frontal cortex. They are best confined to a zoo, used in an indepth abnorma- anatomy lesson or segregated somewhere deep underground where they can do no more harm.
I am so fucking pissed off right now I have no words for it! It wasn't enough that they starved these horses, they had to TORTURE THEM TOO??
If I lived anywhere near those piss poor excuses for human beings I'd be in jail because I would have killed them myself!
This whole thing just sickens me. I do not have the words to express my outrage at the insensitivity of these people:(
WTF?! Give us the peoples address so we can go confront them ourselves since obviously the court system/police and all the other people who are here to PROTECT aren't going to do anything. I'm so unbelievably pissed right now!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!?! That poor baby, if somebody would have stepped in sooner NONE of this would have happened…. I'm shaking.
I do not own horses but I love all animals unconditionally. This is heart-breaking and makes me wonder how the horses lasted as long as they did. That kind of torture should be given to the people who did this but it won't bring back those horses. How could AC ignore this so long? I don't have enough words…….
This just makes me sick to my stomach. I just don't understand how people can be so cruel. Wish I lived in next door to these a$$holes.

Kirsten and I have been in the USA almost 2 months now. We've had many travels and visited many people.
We started in Houston, Texas visiting my sister. Houston is as hot if not hotter than Davao some days - at least while we were there.
Kirsten's classmate, Joy, came to Michigan and we picked her up from the airport. They have been friends since third grade.
Those are a few pictures from the first two weeks in the USA. More to come!!!

Just when questions and worries threaten to cloud the skies over me the universe sends me the answers and reassurances that I need. Mr. Something and I are continuing to work our way through Dr. Ray Guarendi's Adoption: Choosing It, Living It, Loving It. Less than an hour after my last post, with nothing but what-if's? buzzing around my head and we came to the following passage (p. 42)…
"The number of people wanting and willing to adopt would be higher except for one thing–they're scared. An adoption colleague of mine calls it "the fear factor." It's fueled by a group of worries and what-if's? that have the potential to squash any serious thought of adopting.
Psychologists advise that one way to reduce the controlling power of fears is to challenge them rationally. In other words, what is the real likelihood they will happen? What is the actual probability something will adversely affect our lives?
Surveys have shown that most people fear more those risks less likely to befall them–shark bites, terrorists attacks, air crashes, abductions–than those more so. I won't identify those here for fear of raising your anxiety.
So too in adoption–the anxieties that keep some from adopting are, thankfully, far less real than the media, the conventional wisdom (an oxymoron) and popular notions present. Let's rationally confront some common worries much less likely to occur than is pervasively believed."
Weight lifted. Clouds parted. Again, it all seems so simple. Thank you, Dr. Ray! I have noticed as the hustle and bustle of the work week takes over, the worries and doubts settle around me. But one conversation into it with Mr. Something and I remember that we are a great team. We've been on the same page every step of the way and I am stronger with him by my side.
I am knee-deep into another great read. Award-winning mom blogger, Kelle Hampton, has published her first book this week. I have been following her blog, Enjoying the Small Things, for two years as she has blogged about her journey of growth and discovery upon giving birth to a girl with (unexpected) Down Syndrom. In her book, Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected, Kelle was reflecting on reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller and shared this precious nugget of insight (p. 2)…
"The book spoke of the power of challenges–how living a life of comfort does nothing to make us grow, and how hard times shape us into interesting, developed characters. By the end of the book, I was inspired. Inspired to write a new story for our life–inspired to face challenges and leave my comfort zone and go through hard things because that is what turns the screenplays of our lives from boring to Oscar-worthy."
It lit a fire within me. Although I have always been a rule follower something within me always longed to dance to the beat of a different drummer, to do something different, something more. Is this my chance?
Last night we watched the second half of an incredible video that I found on the Adopt Us Kids website. Two hours of personal accounts from foster care adoption families, adopted children, and men and women that aged out of the system provided a big slice of adoption education for us. It was an incredible overview of the benefits of foster care adoption and the first steps to take. I highly recommend it for anyone considering foster care adoption.

OD-HAI! Good Morning Cricket Fans
England in at least looking like they could win a game shock, Ravi Bopara at the top of the order, what kind of topsy turvy world is this that we live in!
Has Stuart Broad cut his hair yet....
you watching?
what do you reckon would be par on that pitch?
probably wouldn#t get away with watching it whilst i'm supposed to be working
Broady appears to have been groomed, yes...
he''s also bowled quite well, unlike 'Chucker' Anderson, who must have some Indian ancestry or something because he's been their best player so far in this innings!
I want Ando to get it right, i really do. He should maybe get that red shit in his hair agin - he seemed to play quite well back then...
I think
he should be forced to play every day of his life so that he gets more bad days out of the way when England aren't playin gin a vain attempt to harness his good days. I'm not sure how this would work or be managed, but there we go.
I think we all hoped Kevin Pietersens captaincy would lead to widespread hair spectaculars.
Oh jimmy....
0-47 from 6.
Bring back Phil DeFreitas.
Excellent, now here comes fucking Singh
samit patel should not be bowling in international cricket
swanny can barely hold his own, but patel will just get milked. time to bring back monty and damn the conequences on the fielding.
I think Monty would get milked as well...
Of course he would take a few wickets as well.
I now have the fear that Singh and Sehwag will now smash their way to victory...
collingwood's a hero
if i weren't at work, i'd be watching 'the hayden catch' again : )
why are all my favourite cricketers
so bad? Probably some kind of emphathy thing I guess.
can i just take a second to say
that broad is a damn fine bowler. i reckon he's tiring out there now, but his opening spells these last two games have been ferocious. for a 21 year old kid he's really something...
this game
is over isn;t it really?
pretty much
if they give anderson another over it certainly is.
goodbye Yuvraj!
It really is all over now.
Also, NZ well set after first day of the first test in Australia
Oz skittled for 214 on the first day, NZ 7 without loss at close of play. Australia really looking like a team in decline...
we all know
they'll either rally in time for the Ashes or, as seems to be the case, we'll conspire to undo all the good work over the past few years and be absolute dogshite.

Confusing and misunderstood teenager who he was?
With adolescence crisis faced all. The period of maturation is accompanied by not only hormonal changes, but also a variety of psychological changes: mood swings, increased irritability, aggressiveness, sometimes antisocial. To overcome the problems of adolescence, should understand them.
At age 11 in girls and 12 - boys begins a violent alteration of an organism. It coincides with adolescence and is accompanied by various problems. This is due to the large gap between the social, intellectual and biological maturation of the individual. He is 6-10 years. Teenager keeps trying to realize ourselves as individuals and to find a balance between confidence-uncertainty, maturity, immaturity, usefulness and disability. Achieving the main goal of a teenager - the acquisition of personal autonomy - often accompanied by youthful rebellion. And the task of adults to understand the teenager and help him to become an independent person, overcome this difficult period of his life with the least difficulty. In adolescence teenager becomes unpredictable. Quick change of mood, accompanied by odd (from the point of view of an adult) actions, giperkopensatsiya, in which a teenager with obsessively trying to succeed in the region where it is most weak. With all these symptoms of an adult needs a heart to heart talk with a teenager and explain to him that after all are similar. It is necessary to understand the situation together, decide what results teenager wants to achieve and what means may lead to the goal, and what - no. By this age is the emergence adolescent idols, actions and behavior of teenagers who are trying to follow. With great attention is necessary to treat the teenage idols. Among them may be the ones who bear the antisocial ideas, preaches the cult of self-destruction and death. It is possible that a teenager should be youth fashion, without thinking in what is happening. adult task in this case does not prohibit and blame, but to understand the child and help him. From adults need great tact and participation in joint problem-solving. In extreme cases, if the child is antisocial and dangerous to others, you should refer to specialists, who will provide expert assistance.

Can I set up a form to notify me if someone tried to make a purchase or donation, and their payment attempt failed? My forms are currently linked to my Braintree Payments account, but my question would be relevant even if we changed processors.
There are times when people attempt to donate or pay for an event and when it fails due to any variety of reasons, they give up. I'd like to be able to get in contact with them to help them process it again.
Thank you,

Hello Mendel,
I did check your last edited form and you seems to have added "BrainTree" payment tool. Please note that braintree payment tool requires credit card details to be added in form and the payment is processed as soon as the form is submitted. If there is any problem, the form will not be submitted.
Since the failed payments are not being captured, it is currently not possible to track or send notification for failed payments.
I would suggest you to add one checkbox for user to select if they have difficulty in making payment. If its selected, you can add a condition to hide the payment tool and then user will be able to submit form without payment. Please take a look at the following cloned form and see if this works as expected: http://www.jotform.us/form/72138854756164
Feel free to clone this form for a closer look. The following guide should help you in form cloning: https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL
Thank you!
- MendelpopackAnswered on August 10, 2017 at 04:13 PM
Thank you for your reply. The form you sent is our form.
Are there any payment tools that jotform would notify us if the form didn't submit properly?
- JotForm SupportKiranAnswered on August 10, 2017 at 05:29 PM
It can be achieved by using PayPal standard integration. If the payment is not completed in any case, you may receive a notification by enabling the option 'Pending Payment email' option in the payment field settings. Please refer to the guide below that can help you with this.

We all like to be right. Fact. It's just another thing I'm right about. However, I'm acutely aware that there are times when it would be massively inappropriate, and likely very unhelpful, to point it out. I take the satisfaction smugly inwards and 'let it go' knowing that truth will out eventually. And hey, I have been known to be proven wrong (once or twice, back in 1993).
Some of us are better at the letting go part than others, but fundamentally, when we're rolling with the punches of the social world we just get that pointing out we are right is not always the best course of action. Boo doesn't get this. Na da, no way, has-to-make-a-point-of-it, won't ever swallow the words, be magnanimous or gracious, no, if he's right the world is sure to know about it.
This poses quite a problem. You see, inhabiting Boo's sphere are two little 6 year olds. Totally, utterly, fib-worthy, haven't see a lot of the world, 6 year olds. Who don't, for obvious reasons, always get things right. In fact, dare I say it, often don't. They are frequently known to bend the truth a little, or see things through the rainbow lens of fantasy, or simply just to not understand things in quite the same way as others. Or, let's face it, because the world isn't black and white but has massive great chunks of splinters-in-my-arse-on-a-fence, GREY.
But Boo doesn't do shades of grey. Things are right. Or things are wrong. And there's not an inch of middle ground. Result: hotbed for an older brother pointing out EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING his sisters don't get 100% right. It's like growing up alongside the world's least-censored pedant. It's a little exasperating. A million little bickers could be avoided every single day if Boo could just learn to bite his tongue.
But try as we might, we simply can't seem to get Boo to understand this one: to know in his head he's right, but not to always point it out. It's like it's impossible for him. Perhaps it is. Perhaps he has to work so hard to understand the 'rules' of life that if someone flouts the extra ones he puts in to get things to make some sense out of the shades of grey, then god help them. They are doomed to having it absolutely spelt out, with no shadow of doubt, exactly why they are wrong.
So come on, words of wisdom please… how do you get someone with Autism to sometimes bite their tongue, and not always be Mr Right?

Today I ran up to quite intresting product from Russia - Nginx.
Nginx is high performance web and proxy server and, what I have heard, it's capable to run quite high load on very low requirements. Regarding to this article, Wordpress.com is using Nginx as load balancer, handling over 8000 requests / sec. That's quite impressive!
What's best, Nginx is really lightweight. According to testimonials in Nginx wiki, this web server can be run with really low RAM. Excellent.
I'm going to screw 'round with this piece of software now. Going to report you back later!

I honestly love the feel of this bb cream. It is honestly so soft on your skin and its great for the no-makeup look. BUT, the downside for me is the shades. The variety of shades is very limited which makes it difficult for me. The lightest shade isnt the best fit, and makes me look too tan, and the shade up makes me look darker. The packaging may be a little tricky if youre traveling. If you put the tube in your carry on, beware of leaking. Otherwise, this product is AMAZINGLY smooth and it has a great coverage. Not so impressed with the packaging and the shades...

What I loved: The packaging. That's about it. It comes in an easy to dispense tube that gives you good control over the amount of product you want out.
What I hated: Pretty much everything. I found that this had no coverage WHATSOEVER. It was literally like putting on a regular moisturizer. Also, it was really jam-packed with a ton of glitter that just made the face look unnatural. It didn't really look like shimmer, just like glitter particles stuck to the face. The texture was really gritty, almost like an exfoliator.
I'm not sure if maybe my bottle was faulty, because others have claimed that this provides god coverage with a natural finish, but the product that I tried was absolutely horrible.

This is very watery. I got the medium shade and it was lighter than my skin tone. I didn't like it cause it was too watery for me and the shade was too light and the dark shade looks to dark for me. The coverage was light and it didn't last long on me.

This product didn't really do anything for my skin except act as a very sheer tinted moisturizer. I also do not consider this to be a real BB cream in any way. It doesn't last long on the face. The product goes on white, but there are beads within it designed to disperse color onto your face. The shade options provided aren't that great. Plus it is confusing on which one to actually get. I ended up buying two tubes of this stuff in different colors. Both shades oxidized on my face within a relatively short amount of time. It left my skin feeling greasy and simply didn't do anything positive for my face. It has all these fancy claims associated with it. But,in my opinion, it is nothing but a waste of money.

I love this BB cream! It has a lot of coverage and I love how it adjusts to my skin tone. But it has these little sparkles that I hate. It looks pretty matte and natural in the sun but under lightbulbs your face sparkles. Overall, I would buy this product because it's pretty good.

This was the very first American brand BB Cream I've ever used and I was very hyped when I got it. I was looking into purchasing some overseas but when I saw some at my local drug store, I decided to give it a try and save some $$$. I purchased the Light/Medium shade. When I first brought it home and put it on, I liked it very much. The texture was a little weird/lumpy but It was cool how it changed to fit my skin tone and I was fairly satisfied with the price along with the attractive packaging. Later on when I checked up on it though, I had seen that it started to oxidize and it turned into a more orangey-tone but it didn't bother me too much. At around 2 months using this product, I started to break-out TERRIBLY bad. I've never broken out so bad in my life, EVER. I had acne all around my cheeks and my neck and at first, I didn't think it was the product but my stress and other factors, which made me want to use the product even more to try and cover it up. Overall, I do not recommend this product to ANYONE. Out of my opinion, it was absolutely terrible.

I overall really liked this product for a quick & easy make up application. Great for those days you dont want a super make up looking face. It has low coverage but still quite visable that it didnt something. If you have acne problems or scaring of any kind and you need fuller coverage this isnt for you. Or any drugstore bb cream for that matter. Western BB creams tend to be more like tinted moisterizers not so much a "all purpose foundation". So if you have relatively good skin or a makeup beginner I recomend this! Also its easy bc applying with your hands is the best way to get the little color pigments in the white liquid to burst. So its easy! A brush wont work as well :/ so if your one who hates touching there face, you may want to stay clear.

This BB cream did nothing for me. It did not conceal or give me any decent coverage and it broke me out a little. The only good thing about this product is the smell.

Im going to debunk the negative comments (sorry if I sound like a b****) and after that tell what I think of it, why I'm giving it full rating. First no duh there is a light coverage and thin texture, it's meant to make you skin look natural not a flawless mess. Also it's called bb that stands for two things first bursting beads (little little dark spots) and beauty balm ( says it right there balm, you don't expect lip balm to give you full color) and it comes out white cause this also helps prime your face and the bursting holds the color, that's why it's a stop shade bb cream (which in my opinion is best one in the USA) the orange hue is good for priming cause the orange underneath founding make you look well rested, and you need to blend it into your face with two fingers in circler motion, to get to your exact shade. So yea I don't get what you guys are doing cause I never had a single problem in since it first came out (using it since) once I for a demonstration I used the bb cream on my skin were a bandaid was it bb on my skin and on the band aid, and when I blend them it blend to my shade of skin and the color of the bandaid and the more blend the better. That's why I give it the full rating, I called the the wonder bb dream cream, good primer, go for when you want to look natural, good for touch ups, good for hydration, good to help skin become softer for that day !!! So many other things its my favorite bb cream, I love it even more than original Korean BB Creams ( they invented it and we finally got it, they were hold out on us >_< well I hope my review helps people and not to be discourage by the negative comments . For now this was Nikku-Chan Mata Ne (see yea later in Japanese)

At first, I was thrown off by the silver/white color. But true to its description, it blends well and adjusts to your skin tone. I like the exfoliating texture of the "beautifying beads" contained in this cream, and I am guessing that the pigments are released from these beads.
This worked really well for me. It gave my skin a nice luminescent glow. It does contain a slight amount of shimmer, but I did not find this too overpowering.
I would recommend using a moisturizer with SPF first and letting that soak in before applying this BB cream, since it contains no SPF of its own.
The packaging is sleek and clean; it only dispenses a small amount of product per squeeze which eliminates the possibility of a mess. I've tried the Maybelline BB Cream as well, and by far, L'Oreal's is superior.
There are only 4 shades but like I mentioned, it really will adjust to your skin.
It really does prime my face and smooth my complexion. After applying powder foundation over this, my skin looks virtually flawless. But oftentimes I won't even apply foundation because this looks amazing already on its own.

With the public release of its second beta, Microsoft said it intends for the Internet Explorer 8 browser to be more customer-oriented than previous versions of its browser. Our initial impression of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is positive: we think Microsoft has not only caught up with Opera, Safari, and Firefox, but in some cases even surpasses these other browsers with its innovative new features. IE8 offers people several enhancements like color-coded tabs, increased privacy options, and greater security features baked right in. Most of the new features require systems to be running Windows Vista SP1 or Windows XP SP3. The final version of Internet Explorer 8 is expected in November 2008.
The user interface hasn't changed much since Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1, except to add a Security pull-down menu between Page and Tools on the main toolbar. In addition to blocking phishing sites, IE8 now highlights the main domain of any Web site you visit. Thus, if something other than eBay.com is highlighted, chances are you are on the wrong Web site. Perhaps the most anticipated addition is Internet Explorer's new antimalware protection. Opera 9.5 and Firefox 3 both recently added antimalware protection. Safari has so far not announced plans for similar protection. Using mostly its own antimalware technology, Microsoft will block emerging threats by masking the entire IE 8 browser screen with a warning to users. The addition of malware protection to the existing antiphishing protection will be rebranded as the Microsoft SmartScreen filter.
In another feature, known as InPrivate, Microsoft allows the browser to suspend caching functions while you surf. Some scenarios for using InPrivate might be when you're using someone else's computer, when you need to buy a gift for a loved one without ruining the surprise, or when you're at an Internet kiosk and don't want the next person to know which Web site you visited. While you can currently clear the browser cache with a mouse click, it's an all-or-nothing action. InPrivate temporarily suspends the automatic caching functions, allowing you to keep the rest of your browsing history intact.
IE8 also contains a cross-site scripting filter, one of the first in a mainstream browser. Cross-site scripting allows an attacker to execute script on a user's browser without them knowing. When the IE8 filter finds a Web page with a cross-site scripting request, it changes the content on the page with a notice. Users are not presented with an option; IE simply blocks the malicious script from executing and displays the rest of the page.
This is just a few of the new features added to Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. Are you ready to try this version? What are your thoughts about Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2?
It is available at Microsoft's Internet Explorer Home Page for downloading if interested.

I spied this beautiful green maxi dress online the other day and I'm thinkin I need this in my life. I'm always talkin about how much I love maxi dresses and here we go again because this one is soo pretty and has such a great color. I fell in love with it right away, hopefully the color looks the same in person *fingers crossed*. It looks so simple and easy, perfect for a girl like me (always late aka always rushin out the door). I may have to take a trip over to Old Navy and try it on.
