Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Red Sox 5, Rays 1
Record: 37-25
The Washington D.C. area experienced an "unprecedented" series of storms last night, with a series of tornados touching down and more than 400,000 homes without power for the better part of the evening. My humble estate is still sans electricity, meaning that a 6-pack of Dale's Pale Ale is growing dangerously warm, and a block of locally produced Havarti is reaching red alert stage. And some milk and stuff for the kids is spoiling, which I suppose is important, too.
As it relates to the Sox, the outage meant that I got to recreate my ancestors' ball-watching rituals (watching, Teejay, not what you were thinking - keep it clean), following along via candlelit mobile phone, just like Nuf Sed McGreevey did back at the turn of the 20th century.
So I know they won, and that Beckett and the relievers pitched well (Hansen included). And I know J.D. Drew stayed hot in the 3 slot. Apparently Coco Crisp's gonna get a ball to the ribs today because of a hard slide into Aki Owamura. And I'll get to follow along in similar fashion tonight. Light a candle for me.
Seriously. I need the light.

We often give up on the vitality of Europe's state churches, but the Church of England–unlike its affiliate Episcopalians in the U.S.–is standing up against the plans of the Conservative (!) government to legalize gay marriage. From Mark Tooley:
The U.S. based Episcopal Church's recognition of same sex unions last month mostly excited a big yawn. More interesting is the resistance of its mother body, the Church of England, to Prime Minister David Cameron's attempt to install same sex marriage in Britain. The latter's opposition is more significant because it remains its nation's established church and still wields political and constitutional powers. . . .
In a secularizing country, the Church of England (unlike U.S. Episcopalians, who mostly just resent more numerous evangelicals) appreciates the threat to religious liberty under a regime of imposed same sex marriage. How would the established church disallow what the civil law requires? The church may have to disestablish, especially if it desires any continued leadership over global Anglicans.
British media quoted church officials dismissing government plans as "'half-baked,' 'very shallow,' 'superficial' and 'completely irrational.'" Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and Archbishop of York John Sentamu only slightly more diplomatically lamented that government proposals "have not been thought through and are not legally sound." The church's official response rejected the government's push with vigorous, point-by-point rebuttals.One organizer of that response was Bishop of Leicester Tim Steve, who declared on his own: "Marriage is not the property of the Church any more than it is the property of the Government. It is about a mutually faithful physical relationship between a man and a woman." He warned, despite government claims of protection for churches, "If you do what the Government say they are going to do, you can no longer define marriage in that way. It becomes hollowed out, and about a relationship between two people, to be defined on a case-by-case basis." Imposed same sex marriage would precipitate the "gradual unravelling of the Church of England which is a very high cost for the stability of society."

Spinal Cord Injuries
Any type of spinal cord injury is a serious and complex medical problem. Since every injury is unique and healing can happen at different stages, you may not yet know how your movement and sensations will ultimately be affected. These injuries can include fractures of the vertebrae, herniated or bulging disks, impingements on the spinal cord and the nerve roots in the spine. Treatment can range from conservative care – physical therapy or chiropractics – to spinal injections and surgery. Spinal injuries can severely affect a person's lifestyle and cause a lifetime of pain and suffering.
At the law office of Norman M. Block, P.C., we understand these challenges. After nearly 25 years of working with clients who have suffered from injuries, we can help you not only with the legal hurdles you may be facing, but we also can offer assistance and guidance on related issues you may encounter.
There is no magic formula, but having an attorney with significant case experience and results obtaining damage awards can make a difference in the outcome of your case. Contact our Westchester County spinal cord injury lawyer today to schedule a free consultation.Answering Your Spinal Cord Injury Questions
If you or a loved one is dealing with the challenges associated with this type of injury you likely have many questions. Some of the questions you may have include:
- Will I be able to return to work?
- How am I going to support myself?
- Will my home or apartment need to be modified?
- Will I need supportive care services to help me at home?

The 'voices' coming from my computer often harass me! Oddly, it only happens when I'm on this web page.....
OK Fuzz... so the 911 call was real... I did embellish it with the drone sweep though
There must be a full moon tonight? I can't see it behind the clouds, but the stars are especially brilliant. Does that counteract the dimwits out there tonight?
I have a "virtual" web page that I hear voices from too, pretty hot stuff. Is the third thing to go the ability to embellish? LMAO
Let me know when you hear the call come in about some dude in his mid-50's asking for female paramedics to stop over in West Monroe to relieve a man with unknown issues.
I think I have been told once or twice in my lifetime that I am very predictable.
My guess is that it would not involve that "lotion" they put on those electrical paddles to give the ole ticker a boost.

Caymanian students seeking to advance their qualifications in the hospitality industry may be eligible for a new tourism scholarship.
The Ministry of Tourism has partnered with Florida's Johnson and Wales University to offer merit-based scholarships in tourism-related subjects.
The Ministry envisions the Johnson and Wales scholarships as an opportunity for students to broaden their horizons after introductory tourism programmes.
The scholarships are designed to help bridge the gap between a government scholarship and the cost of tuition.
"If you look at what it takes to go to Johnson and Wales, it's about $40,000 US, and a government scholarship at $20,000 CI is approximately $25,000 US. So partnering with them for 15 [thousand], that means that a young person could have a 100% scholarship going to Johnson and Wales," said Deputy Premier and Tourism Minister Moses Kirkconnell.
Scholarship amounts will be linked to a student's GPA. Students with GPA's between 2.25 and 2.74 are eligible for $5,000 US.
GPA's between 2.25 and 3.49 are eligible for $10,000 US, and GPA's over 3.5 will be eligible for $15,000 US in scholarship money.
Minister Kirkconnell said the scholarship funding comes from the country's tourism budget.

Today I am 35 weeks, and 5 days pregnant. For 2 weeks now, I have been on bedrest for Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH). Thank goodness we got the baby's room painted and finished when we did! I would be going crazy if I still had a lot of stuff that needed to be done in preparation for the baby!
Lance has been so great the past couple of weeks. His boss is being SO understanding and he was able to switch his work hours to the evening so that he is able to stay home during the day and watch the kids that I keep for me. We wouldn't be able to afford this much time off. I haven't had to clean the house, cook a meal, do laundry, or go grocery shopping at all. He has done it all! I have to admit, it's been a little hard to give up the reins on some of the domestic stuff, but have definitely enjoyed the much-needed rest that I'm getting!
Another blessing has been that our church has started bring us meals 3 times a week. That is such a huge help! It definitely makes things a little easier on Lance and I am really enjoying all the yummy food! It just makes this bedrest thing so much more bearable with everyone being so helpful and understanding.
I go back to the doctor on Thursday for lab work and an ultrasound. They are monitoring me and the baby very closely to try and get us to as near to my due date as possible. I'm secretly hoping to be induced a little early. I'm getting really tired of being pregnant, honestly. But, of course, I want what's best for the baby above any discomfort that I have!

I listened to a podcast earlier this week that got me thinking about Thanksgiving. And jellyfish. And God's amazing, immeasurable love for us. Stick with me and I'll tie it up with a neat little bow for you, OK?
The podcast was underway as I found it but the topic was about speed, velocity and acceleration to be specific, and what scientists have recently discovered as an off-the-chart statistic. Acceleration is measured in "g's," as in "g-force" or "gravity." When you think of "g's" you might think of astronauts or sports cars but things a little bit closer to us, or below us, can also be measured. The speaker gave some examples. For instance, if you were to hold a pencil up and drop it over a desk, it will fall at approximately 1g. A sports car will max out around 3g. (My Honda is closer to the pencil, for those of you keeping track.) But the sting receptors of a jellyfish (the mechanism that triggers a "dart-like" object to shoot out of the tentacle when provoked and sting the victim) move at one million g's.
Off the charts. Literally.
So all this "hard to comprehend, off the charts" talk had my mind spinning and wandering this week of giving thanks.
|Boston, October 2017
Yes, I'm so very grateful for my family - my darling girl who makes my world go 'round, my precious husband who provides for us in countless ways and is truly my best friend, the three grandparents my daughter has who love her with abundance and support and who are relatively healthy and blessed, my husband's sister and her family and the cousins she provides my only child so she's not so, well, only.
|PieDaddy and Calleigh, 2013
|Poppa, Gamma & Cousins, December 2016
|Pat and Valerie, 2002
I'm thankful I had my Mom for 30 years of my life and that she's still with me today, just differently, and that she is able to influence my girl through photos, memories, recipes, dimples, and in innate likes and dislikes.
I'm thankful for our jobs that provide meaningful work and financial stability. I'm thankful for the roof over our head, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear. I'm thankful for the food we have and that I, nor anyone in my family, has ever wondered from where our next meal was coming. I'm thankful to be an American and a Southerner. I'm thankful for the freedom of speech and religion and the right to bear arms. I'm grateful for our forefathers and foremothers who came before us, paving the way for the life we know today. I'm thankful for the military, past and present, who have protected our way of life and sacrificed immeasurably for our comfort. I'm thankful for pets and that I can share my home and my life with them ("dog" backwards is "God," after all). I'm thankful that The Crown is coming back on December 8. I'm thankful for friends — those doing well and those struggling. Those who come seeking a shoulder and those who always have a shoulder ready. Those who say, "girl, don't even get me started." Those who make me laugh. Those who appreciate the joy in finding a pen that writes well, a glass of wine, or some "Mommy time."
But there is something for which I'm grateful and that without it, none of this other stuff would exist and that's God's love.
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."
1 John 3:1
We know His love for us is great, maybe even immeasurable, but it's so big we truly don't have the capacity to understand it. Think about that for a minute.
Thanksgiving, jellyfish, God's love. There you go. I'm thankful for each of you and wish you the warmest of Thanksgivings as you eat and spend time doing what you love.

Sephi Bergerson
Ranked #1 in India in 'The World's Top 10 Wedding Photographers' (2017), and awarded one of '10 Most Influential People in Photography 2017′, Sephi is an Intenational Wedding Photographer based in India since 2002. He was a commercial photographer in Israel for more than 10 years, before he moved to India in early 2002 with his wife, their 10-months-old baby, four bags and very little money to follow his dream of becoming a documentary photographer.
Sephi only got into Indian wedding photography when he started working on his book: 'Behind The Indian Veil – A Journey Through Weddings in India' (published in 2015) in October 2007. Working on this book, he's arguably witnessed and documented a larger variety of Indian weddings than any other person on Earth.
Sephi is available for a small number of wedding photography assignments every year. He devotes extreme care and attention to each couple with whom he works and gets to know them as a friend. Sephi will work with you to develop photography services that will truly reflect who you are as a couple and what your day will be.

WASHINGTON — A classified military report detailing the Army's investigation into the disappearance of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in June 2009 says that he had wandered away from assigned areas before — both at a training range in California and at his remote outpost in Afghanistan — and then returned, according to people briefed on it.
The roughly 35-page report, completed two months after Sergeant Bergdahl left his unit, concludes that he most likely walked away of his own free will from his outpost in the dark of night, and it criticized lax security practices and poor discipline in his unit. But it stops short of concluding that there is solid evidence that Sergeant Bergdahl, then a private, intended to permanently desert.
Whether Sergeant Bergdahl was a deserter who never intended to come back, or simply slipped away for a short adventure amid an environment of lax security and discipline and was then captured, is one of many unanswered questions about his disappearance.
The issue is murky, the report said, in light of Sergeant Bergdahl's previous episodes of walking off. The report cites accounts from his unit mates that in their predeployment exercise at the Army's National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., he sneaked or crawled off a designated course or range either to see how far he could go or to see a sunrise or sunset.
Where Bergdahl Disappeared
Maps of where Bowe Bergdahl was stationed and the initial operations to find him.
The report is also said to cite members of his platoon as saying that he may have taken a shorter unauthorized walk outside the concertina wire of his combat outpost in eastern Afghanistan before he left for good, in an episode that was apparently not reported up the chain of command. The newspaper Military Times on Wednesday first reported that claim, also citing officials familiar with the military's report.
But the report is said to contain no mention of Sergeant Bergdahl's having left behind a letter in his tent that explicitly said he was deserting and explained his disillusionment, as a retired senior military official briefed on the investigation at the time told The New York Times this week.
Asked about what appeared to be a disconnect, the retired officer insisted that he remembered reading a field report discussing the existence of such a letter in the early days of the search and was unable to explain why it was not mentioned in the final investigative report.
Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a Pentagon spokesman, declined to discuss the report or make it available.
"The Department of Defense does not discuss information contained within classified investigations," he said. "The department is making every consideration regarding the disposition of its continued classification."
Key Questions in the Release of Bowe Bergdahl
Sorting out the facts and the controversy surrounding the release of the lone American prisoner of war from the Afghan conflict.
The narrative about Sergeant Bergdahl over the past few days has undergone a rapid evolution based on accounts by current and former soldiers, which have grown increasingly dark. They have gone from saying he should not be treated as a hero because he was a deserter and blaming the subsequent search for him for every American combat death in the province over a three-month period, to alleging that there is evidence that he was trying to meet up with the Taliban.
Amid the controversy, an event in his hometown, Hailey, Idaho, to celebrate his return has been canceled. But the accounts of the investigative report, which was described as meticulous and thorough, suggest that even basic facts necessary to understand how he came to disappear have yet to be definitively established.
The people briefed on the "15-6 report," named for the army regulation covering such investigations, described it on the condition of anonymity because it remains classified. The report was written by an investigating officer in July and August of 2009 after extensive interviews with members of Sergeant Bergdahl's unit, including his squad leader, platoon leader, and company and battalion commanders.
It is said to confirm certain other details relayed in recent accounts, including that Sergeant Bergdahl shipped his computer and a journal home before he disappeared. It also confirms that he left behind his body armor and weapon — an unwieldy SAW machine gun — taking with him water, knives and a compass.
The report speculates that he most likely left in darkness after the moon had set, following one of two possible routes through the concertina wire.
While much of the report is said to focus on disciplinary problems in his unit and a lack of accountability in its chain of command, it is also said to portray Sergeant Bergdahl as a free-spirited young man who read martial-arts books, drank tea with Afghan soldiers from whom he tried to pick up Pashto phrases, and maintained a collection of throwing stars and knives, which it documents in detail.
Its portrayal of him as a soldier is said to be positive, with quotes from both commanders and squad mates — apparently including some of the men now criticizing him — describing him as punctual, always in the correct uniform and asking good questions. It quotes colleagues as saying that he expressed some boredom and frustration that they were not "kicking down doors" more to go after insurgents who were destroying schools.
The report is also said to contain no mention of any alleged intercepts of radio or cellphone traffic indicating that Sergeant Bergdahl was asking villagers if anyone spoke English and trying to get in touch with the Taliban, as two former squad mates told CNN this week in separate interviews; they both said they remembered hearing about the intercepts from a translator who received the report.
A leaked military activity report that contemporaneously logged significant events during the initial eight-day search for Sergeant Bergdahl says that at 10:12 a.m. on June 30, about six hours after he was reported missing, an unidentified man was overheard on a radio or cellphone saying that an American soldier with a camera "is looking for someone who speaks English."
Still, the log says nothing about the unidentified man's saying that the American wanted to get in touch with the Taliban.

It also strengthens the cells of your immune system.
The diet consists of little else other than this mixture to help detoxify and leave the body
healed and healthy. When the toxins attach to the outer cell membrane,
which is made of a lipid bi-layer (two layers of fat), it causes the cells to continually release Leptin.

some searching and wound up here Back To School Bash By: Fairview Missionary Baptist Church.

Is itt simply me or does it appear like a few
of these responses look like they are left by brain dead visitors?
😛 And, if you are writing at additional sites, I'd like to keep up
with everything fresh you have to post. Would you list of all of

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd
post to let you know. The style and design look great though!
Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Gentleman sleuth Charles Lenox, now married to his longtime friend and neighbor Lady Jane Grey, is about to take his seat in Parliament when the thrill of the chase distracts him.
When you combine two houses in matrimony, what do you do with the extra butler? Charles Lenox solves the problem by asking Graham, his butler, to be his secretary. Graham takes to the job and works with great efficiency to learn the parliamentary ropes. That's fortunate, because Charles is distracted by a murder at the home of Ludovic Starling, a fellow MP who hopes for a title and fears scandal. A young footman, the son of the Starlings' former housekeeper, has been killed outside their home. Finding it tricky to balance his parliamentary duties with a murder inquiry, Charles calls on his assistant John Dallington, son of the Duke of Marchmain, to take over some aspects of the investigation. But he wonders why Starling bothered to ask his help in the first place, and why his family has decided they no longer want it. At any rate, Charles refuses to be called off despite a cold shoulder from Scotland Yard. His curiosity once aroused, he must balance his job, his new marriage and his old love for detective work in order to solve the crime without wrecking his life.
Like Finch's earlier Victorian whodunits (The Fleet Street Murders, 2010, etc.), there's enough mystery combined with enough period and personal detail to keep fans happy.

British retailers have removed baby sleep positioners from sale after a US health watchdog warned about risks of suffocation.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement on 3 October reminding parents and caregivers not to put babies in sleep positioners.
"These products – sometimes also called 'nests' or 'anti-roll' products – can cause suffocation (a struggle to breathe) that can lead to death," they wrote.
"The federal government has received reports about babies who have died from suffocation associated with their sleep positioners. In most of these cases, the babies suffocated after rolling from their sides to their stomachs."
In response to the warning, Mothercare confirmed to HuffPost UK that it had removed the sleep positioners from sale.
A Tesco spokesperson also told us: "We have removed these products from our website as a precautionary measure."
The FDA stated the two most common types of sleep positioners feature raised supports or pillows that are attached to each side of a mat to raise a baby's head. The positioners are intended to keep a baby in a specific position while sleeping.
They advised: "To reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths, including accidental suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants sleep on their backs, positioned on a firm, empty surface.
"This surface should not contain soft objects, toys, pillows, or loose bedding."
In March 2017, British charity Lullaby Trust, which campaigns to spread safer sleep advice to parents, urged parents to put their babies to sleep on their backs.
The charity found almost all (94%) parents had heard of SIDS however, 15% thought it was fine for children to sleep on their tummies and…

WE ARE HALF-WAY INTO THE CHALLENGE! Can you believe it? I am suddenly feeling all, "oh crap!" about this. HA! Anyway, we have 100+ participants this year, with 145+ reviews already posted! That's some pretty good reading and writing, y'all.
I hope you're having a good time making progress through your own TBR piles. Do I dare challenge you all to get us to TWO HUNDRED linked-up reviews by the next checkpoint? Can we do this!?
Question of the Month
Have you discovered any new-to-you authors that you absolutely love, now? If so, who is the author and what's the next book of theirs that you hope to read?
My Progress: 4 of 12 Completed / 4 of 12 Reviewed
So far, I've read and reviewed 4 of my 12 required books. I've made very little reading progress from my list since May, although I did at least get one more review written. I was caught up in reading a bunch of interesting things, like Stephen King's latest, The Outsider and some history and philosophy, which I've been barreling into quite a bit lately.
Over the next 7 weeks or so, I should have plenty of extra time for reading and writing. I especially hope to get to these books on my "Summer Reading List," some of which are on my TBR challenge list and some of which are on my Classics Club list. As for my TBR Pile challenge, the next two books I have coming up are: Joan Didion's The White Album and Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson. I should get to both of these this summer, which will get me to 6 of 12. Nowhere near as far as I'd hoped, but oh well!
- The Hound of the Baskervilles (Completed 1/3/18)

Vanessa Bryant: Courted By Basketball Wives!by Free Britney at .
It was only a matter of time.
Mere weeks after Vanessa Bryant became one of the NBA's most famous ex-wives, she has become the Holy Grail for producers of VH1's misnamed Basketball Wives.
The people behind the show are prepping to make Kobe's ex-wife an offer she can't refuse, with sources say "an extremely lucrative pitch for Vanessa" is imminent.
As one source put it, they will do whatever it takes to get her, since, "Vanessa has more than enough storyline and would bring the show to another level."
Producers never dreamed of approaching Vanessa Bryant while she was married to the L.A. Lakers superstar, who she recently left due to Kobe's repeated cheating.
Budget constraints were also an issue when the show was in its infancy, but with Wives pulling in big ratings for VH1, and Vanessa single, times have changed!
Sources say producers would instantly make her the LEAD star the show or spin off an L.A. version with her as the centerpiece. We're not buying it, though.
First of all, Vanessa scored $75 million in their divorce. VH1 isn't going to woo her with money, in other words, and it's unclear if she wants to be a fame whore.
Even if she does, we doubt Kobe will agree to have his daughters on the program, which could be a tough workaround as Vanessa will have primary custody.
