How did I get it?:
I borrowed it from Beth!
Beneath the kitchen floor is the world of the Borrowers — Pod and Homily Clock and their daughter, Arrietty. In their tiny home, matchboxes double as roomy dressers and postage stamps hang on the walls like paintings. Whatever the Clocks need they simply "borrow" from the "human beans" who live above them. It's a comfortable life, but boring if you're a kid. Only Pod is allowed to venture into the house above, because the danger of being seen by a human is too great. Borrowers who are seen by humans are never seen again. Yet Arrietty won't listen. There is a human boy up there, and Arrietty is desperate for a friend.
I don't think I ever read The Borrowers as a child. I know that I saw the DVD and I was definitely familiar with the story. I loved having the opportunity to read The Borrowers though as part of our kid-lit challenge.
The story follows a group of little people living inside Aunt Sophy's house. These little people 'borrow' from the humans. They use things like blotting paaper for their carpets and stamps for their artwork on their walls. Pod, Homily and Arrietty are the last Borrowers left. They had everything they needed- but sometimes needed to pop into the house to get supplies. The little family of Borrowers lived in the floorboards and could easily exit and enter to get what they needed. The Borrowers follows Arrietty as she befriends a 9 year old boy who is visiting Aunt Sophy's house. Life changes for The Borrowers quite quickly!
I thought this book was such a cute and easy to read book. It being published in 1952 could mean it's a little out of touch-however, I'm sure children can imagine little people 'borrowing' their latest toy, so I would totally recommend it to young children. I love it when children use their imaginations, so I'd love to see what they think happens to things that go missing!
For Beth's review, check out her blog HERE.
Would I recommend it?

What is it?
The new R-Design Volvo C30. Classified as an option rather than a trim level, adding R-Design will cost an extra £500 and gets you a host of design tweaks, the most significant of which is the two-tone leather interior and external body kit. The R-design model we're testing is the C30 T5 SE Sport.
What's it like?
The R-Design kit itself is a worthwhile option if you want your C30 to look particularly sporting inside and out. As well as the R-Design badges, you get a rear roof spoiler to match your colour-coded body kit, and on the lower SE trim level you get unique 17-inch alloys, although the SE Sport model tested here keeps the 18-inch design that is standard with the trim level.
It comes as no surprise that this engine - also used in Ford's Focus ST - mated to a six-speed gearbox gives the C30 considerable pace, albeit without the involving dynamics of the Ford.
The cabin is quiet, the engine refined and the interior pleasant – especially with the black and cream leather and subtle console design you get with the R-Design option breaking up the greys of the dashboard.
But even with such decent motorway manners and the draw of the C30's attractive styling and premium feel, there is no getting over the fact that this model comes at a price it cannot justify.

That woman, on that long ago Remembrance day, was arrested for her 'civil disobedience' -- and I've never forgotten it. To this day, the Remembrance Day ceremony MCs often pay lip service to those historic women by saying "to the men and women..." and then they carry on talking about just the men.
So every year, I take a moment to honour these historic WOMEN who are otherwise forgotten. This isn't taking anything away from remembering the (male) soldiers -- I do, and we all do, and this day focuses mainly on them. But my thoughts today are with those women... lest we forget.

Thank you Marilyn, for this very accurate reflection. Today I will definitely be remembering all the women impacted by war.

May I add my 2cents worth?
the term 'men' means 'mankind'...which includes both genders. It's from the 'olden' days. But I do hear what you are saying.
Same as "Adam" and "Eve" in the Bible..in the proverbial garden (life in general?)..with research one finds that adam means male and eve means female...latin? not sure.
It would be one very wierd world if ONLY two people kept reproducing and their offspring reproduced with each other...whoa!
maybe THAT is what's wrong with our world today(((smiling)))

The Supreme Court recently clarified its jurisdictional limits to assist in trust-related arbitrations, ruling that it has no such jurisdiction to allow service outside an action's jurisdiction. Given this ruling, parties to trust arbitration agreements must be cognisant that, notwithstanding whether their trust deeds provide for the seat of any arbitration to be The Bahamas, the court can provide only limited assistance where the arbitration is not held and the parties or assets are not in The Bahamas.
The Privy Council has determined that, notwithstanding the absence of express statutory provisions permitting service out of the jurisdiction of fraudulent preference claims, such claims are to have extraterritorial effect. This decision clarifies the law as it relates to the extraterritorial effect of fraudulent preference claims; however, it also creates difficulties for subscribers to mutual funds that may be held liable for investments made on behalf of third-party beneficiaries that are the ultimate recipients of payments.
In the 2019/2020 Budget Communication the government announced various tax reforms which came into effect on 1 July 2019. Among other things, the cap on owner-occupied property has increased from B$50,000 to B$60,000 per year and stamp duty on real property has been replaced by value added tax (VAT) at the same rates. Further, any party that is required to become a VAT registrant must have a business licence.
The Bahamas has an unregistered land system that is based on the conveyancing laws of England and Wales issued before 1925. Therefore, deeds and documents should be recorded in the Registry of Records in The Bahamas as soon as possible. Priority becomes particularly important in high-net-worth commercial and condominium development transactions.
Since 2001 international organisations such as the Financial Action Task Force have pressured offshore financial centres to pass legislation in order to increase transparency within their financial services sectors. As such, the Register of Beneficial Ownership Act recently came into effect in The Bahamas. The act seeks to create a private search registry containing details of beneficial owners of domestic and international companies in The Bahamas.

Play! by Sephora – The All-Star Edition
If you're anything like me, you love Sephora. I still remember signing up for the Beauty Insider program soon after its initial launch while I was at the Columbus Circle store in NYC. So when they started a $10/month subscription box called Play! by Sephora, I was quick to sign up as soon as I was off the waiting list. I've loved it every single month, so I was thrilled to see another limited edition, no subscription required Play! box called The All-Star Edition, which included 6 luxury deluxe sample products in a collectible bag. You can guess what happened next: I ordered it, and thanks to free 2-day shipping for Rouge members, it was in my hands in no time. Curious to see what was in the box? Read on!

A friend recently shared this quote from Yoko Ono on her Facebook page, "Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90 … time is a concept that humans created."
It's a quote that resonates with me in numerous ways, including how every time my friends wanted to actually go out somewhere while we were in college and I believed that I was secretly a stereotypical 80-year-old woman who just wanted to stay in and watch my shows, which were "The Vampire Diaries" at the time. I also prefer crocheting to clubs, I'm often tired and cranky, and I'm keeping Metamucil fiber drinks in business. Some days, I'm a little too weary-worn for being 26-years-old just after reading the national news.
On the flip-side, a good children's movie warms my heart. It is possibly a sign that, underneath being a curmudgeon, I'm still a kid at heart.
As a kid at heart, here are my top 10 kid movies that are also good for the whole family:
10) "Up" (2009, PG)
Yes, the beginning five minutes or so of this movie can be a major bummer – it is like if the couple in "The Notebook" hadn't died in each other's arms and the husband lived long enough after his wife's death to become bitter – but it's that love of his late wife that drives him to be a little crazy. He ties an estimated bajillion balloons to his house in the ultimate act of sassiness and innovation. It's a "screw you" to the real estate developers who wanted to demolish his house for more space for a mall, and it's also a pursuit of the adventure his wife always sought.
Also, there's a kid trying to earn merit badges and a talking dog who accidentally get brought along with the bitter old man. There's also a really weird bird later on who tags along. Peppy characters interacting with a surly character is always a good mix.
9) "Finding Nemo" (2003, G)
Again, another bummer premise with Nemo being without a mother and Nemo getting stolen by humans, but this is all about his father Marlin going to save Nemo and meeting characters like Dory along the way.
Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to see its sequel "Finding Dory" because I can be as forgetful as Dory and I haven't made it a priority when I'm near a Redbox. "Finding Dory" received a 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes so it is needless to say that it also deserves a place on this list.
8) "Beauty and the Beast" (1991, G)
For the longest time, this was one of my favorite Disney movies. It features the strong, young woman Belle who does not need stupid Gaston or his inappropriately bulging muscles or his inappropriately bulging ego. It also helps that Belle loves to read.
A major flaw of this movie is DEFINITELY that she gets held captive by the Beast — a person who was cursed to be an ugly beast after he was shallow and stupid — with whom she falls in love. Both the Beast and Gaston presented controlling attitudes, but the Beast eventually realizes some errors in his ways. He also has a gigantic library.
7) "The Emperor's New Groove" (2000, G)
Speaking of arrogant characters, this features a couple characters who could be brought down a couple levels. Here, the Emperor Kuzco gets turned into a llama by an ex-employee Yzma, and hilarity ensues.
It also features some of the best quotes, like when the llama Kuzco and another character Pacha are tied to a rock and floating down the river when they're faced with another interesting challenge:
Pacha: Uh-oh.
Kuzco: Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall.
Pacha: Yep.
Kuzco: Sharp rocks at the bottom?
Pacha: Most likely.
Kuzco: Bring it on.
6) "Tangled" (2010, PG)
Speaking of women being held captive, this movie gets a better place on the list because Rapunzel's man helps her get out of captivity —even though he doesn't have the best intentions at first —and he is also one of the few Disney characters to question why everyone is singing.
5) "Zootopia" (2016, PG)
This movie about a bunny wanting to be a cop in the big city of Zootpoia was a surprise hit for me. The plot was much more developed than I thought it would be and the talking animals were hilarious and also dynamic.
4) "Inside Out" (2015, PG)
This movie is about the little people talking in our heads and how one of them sounds like a perky Amy Poehler and the other is a sad Phyllis Smith (hint: she was on "The Office"). They, and other characters, represent different emotions, and it's all about the value of all emotions. Those two emotions, Joy and Sadness, also get lost together in a kid's head.
3) "The LEGO Movie" (2014, PG) and "The LEGO Batman Movie" (2017, PG)
I recently discussed these movies in my review of "The LEGO Batman Movie," and the first "LEGO Movie" is correct in it's own assessment that "everything is awesome."
I may have reached a bit for that joke, but — combining all of the scenes of animated action, the interactions between LEGO characters of Chris Pratt and Will Ferrell, the mocking of broody and trendy superheroes like Batman, the fact that Will Arnett gets to be Batman, the existential crisis in the first movie, and the vulnerability of Batman — the movies make for a great way to celebrate the beloved toy that we keep around for kids even though they make our feet want to die.
2) "Despicable Me" (2010, PG) and "Despicable Me 2" (2013, PG)
These movies I love because of Gru's relationship with the three girls he later adopts. At first he uses them to get to back at another villain who bested Gru. Then, he grows to care for them, and his priorities as a villain begin to change. He may actually want to go to a dance recital more than steal the moon.
These movies also continue the trend of peppy characters getting my fellow curmudgeons to open up a little bit. Also the minions are, of course, a major plus and also get Gru to show a bit of his soft side.
1) "Cinderella" (2015, PG)
This is why I could not make this list about my favorite cartoon or animated movies because this is a live action version of the classic fairy tale. Usually Cinderella is a little too perfect for me after she endures multiple tragedies and is still not jaded — even though I get jaded just logging into Facebook sometimes — except that is also why I love this story and movie. It's what I watch if I'm ever alone on New Year's Eve or other holidays, and it is my go-to movie when I need a pick-me-up in general. Visually, it's a very beautiful movie, especially with Cinderella's very shimmery — and very heavy-looking — dress. I just hope that the new live action "Beauty and the Beast" coming out on March 17 will be just perfect.

11th April - we went for another scan as I had some bleeding. I had a scan and a vaginal exam, couldn't see anything wrong and baby again was fine and moving with a strong heartbeat which we had the pleasure of hearing. 13 weeks +6.
13th April - I woke up in the early hours with cramps and more bleeding. We tried not to worry as only 2 days before we had seen our baby moving around and all being well. 14 weeks +1.
14th April - We went to A&E and following further vaginal exams and a scan we're told the devastating news that our baby no longer had a heartbeat and that my waters had broken. 14 weeks +2.
15th April - I was induced to complete the miscarriage.
My heart shatters into a million pieces for every single one of you that has lost you're baby. This was our first pregnancy and we are completely shattered.

The Invasion has begun!
The latest promo for The CW's epic four-way superhero crossover offers our first look at The Dominators, the alien race invading Earth to squash the growing metahuman population — and they look appropriately menacing and creepy. "These things are like World War Z zombies," says Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) in the short clip.
The trailer also features a brief glimpse of Deathstroke, who returns for Arrow's 100th episode, which will air during the crossover event. Other familiar faces returning for the landmark hour include Susanna Thompson, John Barrowman, and Neal McDonough.
Watch the entire promo below.
The four-night crossover kicks off Nov. 28 with Supergirl at 8 p.m. ET on the CW. Pick up this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly to get more info on the event.

Where I live we have two 'floating bridges' that go across a large body of water. The bridges literally sit right on top of the water. It's an interesting sensation to drive across these bridges and be so close to water level.
Sometimes when I drive across these bridges a strange phenomenon occurs. This happened to me the other day.
As I was driving across the lake, the water to the left of me was extremely choppy. In fact there were fairly large waves with white caps. At times water was splashing onto the bridge deck. The water looked stormy and scary.
To the right of the bridge the water was calm and glass like. No disturbances on the water's surface in any way. It looked like a completely different lake.
The water was the same. In fact the water was mingling below me as I drove across the bridge.
To look one way the water looked dangerous and frightening. It was disturbed and unpredictable.
When looking the other way everything looked serene and quiet. The water was comforting and beautiful.
Same lake. Same water. Different view.
It got me to thinking about how our vantage point and perspective make such a difference in the world we not only see, but encounter.
If I was in a boat on the stormy side of the bridge, it would be easy to believe that that is all that existed at that moment. Who would dream that 20 feet away the water was calm and inviting?
When we are tempted to believe we KNOW the truth of a situation, or that the scenario in front of us is 'all that is' it would do us well to remember this encounter on the bridge.
Conditions can be radically different in we but shift our perspective or our vantage point. Sometimes our own lens of perception becomes clouded and we no longer can see clearly or accurately. Cleaning the lens through which we view the world is often the change that is needed most!

Pruning Frost Damaged Sago Fronds
We live in Zone 9, north of San Antonio, TX. Our sagos suffered much frost damage, 17 degrees. Can we save them by pruning, or are they out of their comfort zone and in need of being replaced with something else?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
I am sorry to hear about your plant. This cold has damaged many plants this year. You will need to remove the yellow and brown fronds this spring but only those as they will not come back. Just use sharp shears to do so. Do not remove green parts of fronds. These articles will help you as well:
It is hard to say how well they will grow back. Sago palms do not deal well with lost fronds, but they have been known to recover fine.

BOTH sides claimed this was NOT a must win game so early in the season – so neither did.
A drab affair at the John Smith's stadium had a major talking point with Huddersfield captain Jonathan Hogg's sending off.
There was little else to talk about however with few chances at either end.
To say the first half was appalling was being generous. There was one shot on target courtesy of Cardiff.
Even that resulted in a collision which took both Huddersfield goalkeeper Ben Hamer and Cardiff wideman Nathaniel Mendez-Laing out.
Mendez-Laing had chased a ball down and as he reached it so did Hammer the pair of them sliding into each others knees.
Both looked badly hurt. There was a delay of five minutes as both were treated.
Mendez-Laing ended up going off on a stretcher while Hamer tried to play on. He too would end up hobbling down the tunnel minutes later.
Many Huddersfield fans would have though Hamer was lucky to have started the game in the first place.
Jonas Lossl had strangely been demoted from the first two games which saw The Terries concede three to Chelsea and six against Manchester City.
Hamer was particularly poor against City dropping two clangers in the first half of that game which resulted in the club's heaviest defeat in nearly 20 years.
So it was two games no points and Cardiff arrived with just the one after surving a late penalty from Newcastle in their last game which goalkeeper Neil Etheridge saved.
He had little to do in the first half yesterday even if Huddersfield had the better of the game.
They thought they had scored too when Zanka powered forward in the 12th minute and reduced a thunderous shout which almost broke the side netting.
That was about as exciting as it got in the first-half.
Even chief irritant for all fourth officials Neil Warnock in the Cardiff Ciy technical area couldn't find anything to moan about.
It had to get better in the second-half and briefly did when Huddersfield centre-back Terence Kongold got forward down the right flank and floated over an inviting cross.
Steve Mounie, all six foot three inches of him, made himself another three foot tall by leaping to meet the ball but his far post header was well saved.
The most controversial incident came on 61 minutes when one of those usual hugging and pushing matches at a corner spilled over.
Harry Arter shoved Hogg a bit too hard and as the ball went out to halfway Hogg responded with what appeared to be a headbutt.
Arter was booked, Hogg was given a straight red and the ref gave a free kick to Huddersfield.
This seemed to give Cardiff a bit of impetus to have ago and when Victor Camarasa laid the ball off to Danny Ward his shot was well saved by Lossl.
Then when Joe Ralls swung over a corner captain Sean Morrison had a great chance with a header but planted it the wrogn side of the left-hand upright.
The man advantage would not count in the end, game over. One to forget.

the burning question
Well it's not really "burning" but that chair has been sitting at our house for a few months now. AT:SF posted my question that I wrote about the chair that we picked up from the street. I still haven't had time to research this at all what with all the moving, unpacking, travelling and working long hours at my day job lately.
In other creative news, the plan for this weekend is for us to paint my sewing room and the living room. I'm so excited to go to the paint store and pick the colors! Not so much excited about the manual labor, but it's part of the deal. I will definitely post the finished product here and on flickr. If I'm lucky enough to have time, I am also planning to make a few yoga mat bags to sell and also one to give to a new friend. My shop has been very empty lately and even if I don't sell any, it'll make me happy just to have more than 2 things there. I also just came back from NYC with my dear lenny, we stopped by the Purl Soho store and bought a few yards of ultra adorable fabric.
Stay tuned for finished products!

Last week, during a visit to Japan, Hollande assured the hosts that Europe is a perfectly safe place to invest. "What you need to understand here in Japan is that the crisis in Europe is over"
Even though most experts agree that the hardest part is over, with most countries already recovering, there are voices that worn France that if they won't introduce urgent reforms, they could join the Southern Europe's economic crisis.
So, is Europe in the "safe zone"?

We know this time of year that the earth comes alive again after a long cold winter. There is promise all around us—in the leaf buds on the trees, in the rose bushes, and in the children that surround us.
The children in our lives are just like the roses. They need to be pruned and nourished and watered and cared for as you do your roses.
Your children want to know you. They want to know your stories. They want to try your skills. They watch to see how you view the world.
What are you teaching your children?
Do they know about kindness?
Do they learn to work hard?
Do they feel your love for them?
The promise of these children is that they will grow to be like us. Can we see the promise of their future like we can see the promise of the roses on the bush?
Spend time with the children in your life. They will bear fruit even greater than your roses.
They are the promise of spring in your life.

a really cute picture. School pics aren't what they used to be, that's for sure. But, just can't get over the fact that it is a SCHOOL picture. He can't really be in school.
So cute!! I normally hate school photos, in fact I didn't even bring Jasper in for his this year (he's not in the day they had them done normally) but these are super cute, 100% because of the subject!!

text: One area of the game that has changed (that we've talked about before) is the "Plan & Go" gameplay system, designed to replace the classic turn-based strategy mechanic from the original. To say that gameplay change is controversial would be an understatement, judging by the community reaction on the game's official forums. Honestly, I think the Plan & Go system is a nice compromise between action and strategy -- there's still a significant amount of thought involved to determine the routes and actions for each of my mercenaries, much like the original Rainbow Six from an overhead perspective. There's even an option to swap to a real-time strategy mode at any point during a mission.

BMT Story, Chapter 6 - Tom the loco driver
This article was published May 17, 2012.
this is my ´love story´ to narrow gauge railways.
Tom Brikks the loco driver, did always get up early to fire up his engine. He lived close to the loco shed and used to go there just to light up some wood under the boiler before his breakfast. When he was finished eating and got back to the shed it was time to switch to coal. Tom was one of three drivers. It was Tom, Albert and Lloyd who only worked part time as a driver. Normally he worked in the workshop but did step in once and a while when the need arose. Tom had been in America and was never late to tell that to new employees. He had a huge mustache but was always careful with shaving the rest. He was known to be somewhat of a snob, mostly about clothes but also in general. He always used a ironed shirt and a very strict black tie. Uniform and shoes got there overlook each evening, even polished the peaked hat.. He had a special pipe which he bought in Cape land and it made almost as much smoke as the locos did. He ´was´ the loco driver, Albert just had it as profession.
Tom sometimes did join Bob and Lucas when they got out fishing. But they nagged on him for speaking to loud, so he was not always welcomed. Tom couldn´t resist comment on everyone he met during the day, specially the women. He had small monologues with himself out load, TO loud if you asked Bob. They thought he scared the fish.
This morning after Tom got the steam up in his engine, he got company with a small white kitten. Every step he took around the shed to get some tool or whatever, the small kitten did follow him and meow for his attention. Tom was not much for animals, but just to get rid of the kitten he gave the kitten some milk from his bag. He always did drink tea at eight and tea without milk was not possible. This was something he probably did regret for the rest of his life, because next morning the kitten was back again, and it also told its friends so each second or third morning it was one more kitten. In the end Tom got a long row of cats following him on his way from/to the loco shed. Finally the gang of kittens did grow up and found other things to do, but it remained as a fun story among people around.
Tom did run his loco down to the factory and picked up a couple of vans. These he did pull up to the passing loop. Then he did drive to the sawmill to pick up a couple of empty flats. After these were connected to the vans, he did go to the shed for a newly repaired coach. Along the way he did pick up two more coaches. When all were connected on the passing loop, it was time to check the clock and wait for time to leave for the waterfront.
Clock got six thirty, time for departure. Tom did loosen the brake and fired off a quick signal. A few easy pulls on the steam lever and the train started to move. The rails were still wet so the loco wheels did skid a bit, but soon the grip was enough to increase the speed. He did pass the small bridge over the stream, did turn right and then out on the long straight stretch along the fields. You could hear the rails sing as the train did move further and further, far along the tracks.
This was a very small line and most people did know each other since way back. Also common flag stops were not used, Tom did just stop when someone waved at him. They seemed to gather anyway to have some to talk to in the early morning. In chilly mornings some used to start walking along the tracks to keep them warm, and Tom just did pick them up along the way when he reached them. He always did two turns each morning. One to return the flats down to reload at the harbour and one turn to pick up ore wagons at the mine. On the way he did always pick up workers who needed to get to the factory at seven o clock. At eight it was time for tea. He had a special pot he filled with water and let hang inside the burner for a short moment when the train did stay still. That was one of the best moments on the day. He had made the little community ready for work, now he could take a short break and enjoy his tea. Spite the fact that many people did live a hard life then, they really did know how to relax and live by the moment. Company on the tea and a small chat did always lighting up the situation even more. If the break happened to be at the harbour and it was not raining, he used to join the loading gang on there tea break on the quay.
Ore wagons were emptied and the flats were filled with timber again, time to drive back. Tom did do his little routine around his engine to lubricate and check it. A few more baskets of coal and of he went. The drive down to the harbour is either flat or downwards, so not much water is used. But he needs a lot to get back up again. During worst rains or snow, they either disconnect half the train on the hillside and get them later, or else Albert need to come along with another engine to help pushing up the hill. This morning Tom was alone, no passengers either and the weather was warm and dry. He shouldn´t have any problems. First slope went well, second to. Two more to go. Third went well, but at last the hardest one, the train suddenly started to jump on the tracks. Tom quickly did stop the train, put on the brake and jumped out to check the damage. Derailments were common, but this time he had no help. But since it was a flat who had jumped and not a loaded ore wagon, it should not be so hard to fix it. These wagons were only about 4´ feet wide and 12 feet long. If no load on top, a long lever would do the trick. Tom did take of his jacket and started to throw off all the logs, one by one. When clear he selected one of the longest to use as a lever. A few other smaller logs in under and he was ready to lift the wagon. With some effort he managed to lift it up again, on to the tracks. When he let the lever go, the wagon totally collapsed over the track. ´-Now what!´, he thought. He did lean in and looked under the wagon. One axle was broken, that´s why it had derailed... ´And that I discover NOW´, he sad to himself out load.. After a long and well selected list of hard words, he did sit down on a stone beside the track to think. At this stage the sweat did pour down from his forehead. In front of him was one loco, 4 empty ore wagons, the broken flat, 3 heavy loaded flats and a small hut kind of break wagon they always had in the rear. The shining sun did not cold down his anger a bit. He suddenly realised he had a beer with him in the food bag. It had hung in the break-wagon and was still cold. He did open it instantly and let the beer pour down his throat, almost all at once. Compared to the temperature outside, it felt like ice to him.
He did fresh up a bit and put on his jacket and cap. Did disconnect the broken wagon and continued his drive up to the factory. When arrived he yelled at Lloyd and a few others to come and help him. They disconnected the ore wagons and loaded another flat with tools and things to repair the broken wagon with. Tom did fill up some more water in the engine, and of they went again.
When arrived at the accident, they all did see that even the tracks were damaged. Lloyd found the wagon so damaged it was not worth doing anything about it right now. So they did just lift it up upside down, on the flat they had with them and started to repair the tracks. This time they were five of them and with the proper tools, so the tracks was soon in order again. Tom did connect the wagons and did drive them all back to the factory. Since all this happened, he hadn´t had time for lunch, but the mine needed more wagons to load, so not much to it. He had to continue and eat his lunch beside the mine.
When he arrived at the mine the foreman did stand with his arms crossed and with a very determined expression on his face, he hadn´t heard the news about the accident. Tom was never late, in fact he put an honour in keeping the schedule. But when there were accidents on the line, there were not much he could do about it. Tom did tell him, but he still didn´t like it. Tom did place the empty ore wagons under the mine shoot and drive back to the passing loop there loaded wagons were waiting for him. He coupled them up, filled up more water in the engine and collected a few new baskets of coal. He had planned to eat his lunch there, but he just oiled the engine on most important places and drive of again. He lost his apatite. Tom drive all the line down to the harbour and did sit down on the quay instead. There it was calm with a slow breeze, a few seagulls did walk around a bit away. Now finally he could eat his lunch. Due to the days event, he took his time and after he did lay down on the back with his cap covering his eyes and his arms under the head. With a strew of reed in his mouth he laid there thinking.
Some day-workers did comment on his manors, but they forgot about his hours. Tom and Albert had to get up around five and seldom ended work before nine same evening. If they got a few minutes here and there in between were not more than right. Of course working hard down the mine were not easy, nor working in the factory ten hours a day. But being a loco driver were something else. He and Albert got the same rank as the policeman, or like the foreman on the mine for that matter. So they could afford doing a bit like they wanted. As long as they did take care of the trains and kept there schedule, no body had anything to say.
Now the flats had been loaded again and the ore wagons were emptied. They had a barge in the harbour, so they could throw the ore straight in to it. Sometimes when the little steamer didn´t have another barge with it, they had to store the ore and later throw it over to the next barge with shovels. It could take hours to load the barge with just two days of ore from the mine. There were almost as many men occupied at the waterfront as there were in the mine. Later a steam crane was installed and almost everyone had to find work elsewhere. The crane did both load timber and ore and were very efficient.
Tom did prepare the loco for another ride. Now it was late afternoon and not many more trains to drive. The drive up to the factory went well. He did uncouple the flats with timber and did continue up to the mine. When he arrived at the mine, the foreman was not around. He did just uncouple and switch to loaded ore wagons again. A few moments with more water, coal and oiling the engine. Checking the clock and of he went again.
When he was back at the factory, he uncoupled the loaded ore wagons and drove down to the shed. Lloyd, Albert and him used to share a cup of afternoon tea, this was no exception. They did discuss the accident and other things which had happened around the factory that day. Lloyd reminded them about that it was time for the yearly inspection of the boilers. An inspector would come next week and he needed the locos to be ready by then. Only morning and late afternoon trains would be possible, the inspector used to be very thorough.
Now Tom only had one more drive to do. This time he was scheduled to drive the afternoon passenger train. He coupled a string of summer coaches together and drove them up to the passing loop. Just when he picked out his clock, the factory whistle did blow. A horde of workers did came out through the factory gates. The coaches were soon filled. Tom did loosen the brake and fired off a quick signal. A few easy pulls on the steam lever and the train started to move. This time the rails were dry and the train was light. Tom did know by experience there many wanted to clime of, so he just stopped on the regular places. When arrived at the waterfront he did leave the coaches there and took some loaded flats back to the factory. Next morning Albert would drive them back loaded with workers again.
Finally this day was over. Tom and Albert did join up with Lloyd, Bob and Lucas to a late evening swim in the pond. The stream which passed both the bathing house and the factory, did first stem up in a small pond just above the area. After this long hot day, a swim in the pond were great. The water was warm and the beer was cool. A small chat sharing some tobacco ended the day nicely. Time to go home and hit the bunk.

Aiming to strengthen the capacity of youth participation in citizenship practices, through the involvement of schools, creation of citizenship clubs and links to networks, forums and civil society organizations, the project "Promoting Active citizenship among young Mozambicans" is a result of partnership and grant agreement between ADPP and the Office of the National Authorising Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (GON) for the financing of an initiative to promote the concept and culture of citizenship among the young Mozambican layer.
The initiative, which is being implemented for a period of three years, covers young people from 9 to 17 years old and has the funding of the European Union (EU). The project is an ADPP initiative, in partnership with the Mozambican Association for the Promotion of Citizenship (AMOPROC) and the Mozambican Association for Development and Human Sustainability (VUKKA), two Mozambican non-governmental organizations active in this area.
The specific objective of this initiative is to strengthen the capacity of young Mozambicans to learn the concept of citizenship and take them to practice actions accordingly. To this end, it is proposed an increase of awareness of the selected educational institutions on the formation of citizens aware of their rights and duties; increase awareness of the concept and practices of citizenship among young people; and mobilize young people involved to participate in networks, forums and civic organizations.
The initiative's main target are young people in pre-selected schools, including 5 ADPP schools, 5 state schools and the Dom Bosco Community High School.
The aim is to reach beneficiaries, including 1,200 students (600 boys and 600 girls) of the target schools, 180 students from the ADPP Teacher Training School and 30 teachers and 22 directors of covered schools, which together with 18 trainers and 2 directors from ADPP Teacher training School, are receiving training provided by the project.
Additionally, the project "Promoting Active citizenship among young Mozambicans" has as indirect beneficiaries in the communities around the schools, community leaders and members of the families of young people, a total of more than 5,000 people.

Greetings NAGureezees, and thanks for coming back for This Week In Gaming. We're in abbreviated mode this week, straight to the point and with easily digestible content that is (almost) entirely free of inane ramblings and unwanted opinions. See you after the jump.
Just to show you all I mean business this week, here's an untitled goose game. Honk honk, motherf**ker.
Next up is a string of words in an order I'm particularly fond of: first-person narrative mystery. Hnnngh. It's The Bradwell Conspiracy.
I haven't messed around with any of this Nintendo Labo stuff, but it looks kind of like the most kick-ass LEGO ever. Look at this shit right here:
Lovecraft stuff is huge in the boardgame world, but we haven't seen a ton of it in videogames. The Sinking City keeps that creepy investigative feel intact for this mystery adventure title.
Roguelite RPG Deep Sky Derelicts is coming out of Early Access September 26th, here's their Early Access launch trailer in case you've never heard of it. Keep in mind this is nine months old now though.
Anthem gets a brand new trailer this weekend, shown off at PAX West.
Green Hell is an Amazonia survival game that styles itself as a "psychological survival simulator". It hit Early Access yesterday, check it out.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance gets more DLC soon, this one entitled the "Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon". I think I watched that movie on late night e-tv.
Ending off on a high note, someone has just figured out how to access a 24-year-old Doom II secret, with congrats coming from John Romero. While it's always been possible with cheats, it turns out to get it in a legit manner you need an enemy to knock you into it. This is a secret speedrunners previously considered undoable without cheats. Nice. If you want to skip to where it happens, watch from around 2:30.

I was accidentally watching Fox News on Saturday (it was on a TV in a waiting room and the sound was up pretty high and the TV was mounted way up on the wall and the remote was controlled by someone I couldn't see… I couldn't help it!) The woman on the "news" show said "We've tried Obamacare and it didn't work. Time to pull the plug."
Mmmmmmm…..okay. Here's the thing. We haven't tried it. Much of it has yet to be implemented. The Marketplace opens in a couple hours and it is supposed to allow people to choose insurance offers from numerous companies competing for their business. Will it work? I don't know. The intentions are good. Maybe we could wait and see.
Our healthcare system has been a mess for a really long time. Insurance is a horrible mess. No one else has done anything about it. We elected a dude who wanted to fix it. He and a bunch of really smart people came up with a plan and then a whole lotta other people insisted upon changes and amendments and conditions and the law that was passed was not the law the president wanted – but it was better than nothing. It was a step in the right direction. Sometimes all you can do is the best you can do.
And although not everything has been implemented, I very distinctly noticed the first time I wasn't charged a single penny for a well-child visit. I notice every single time. It's a great thing. And those kids who sat behind me in the college cafeteria and spouted total untruths about the Affordable Care Act? They are covered by their parents' insurance plans until they are 26 if they need it. And my instructor now gets her diabetes meds covered – for the first time in many years. I like that.
Are there drawbacks? Sure. Aren't there drawbacks any time you try to change a system that is already in place? When I laid down the "No TV on school mornings" rule, there was some serious fallout. For a time. And then we started getting to school on time. And people were more cheerful. And people started reading books or playing with action figures if they got ready early. It was the right thing. And, no, I'm not being naïve. I recognize that The Affordable Care Act is larger than my tv rule (a little bit.) It was an analogy. Don't be obtuse.
I had an argument with a friend who said his insurance premiums went up because of The Affordable Care Act and he was pissed. That's unfortunate. I don't doubt it's true. Change makes people panic. The Affordable Care Act is supposed to save everyone a lot of money – it's supposed to eventually reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars - but it will take time. Right now, we spend more on healthcare than any other country. People who aren't insured use emergency rooms as their health clinics because they know they can't be turned away. But they can't pay. And the hospital is a business. So the hospital absorbs those costs and passes them on to you and your insurance company. Everyone would save money if everyone else was insured. Everyone would be healthier if everyone else was getting proper medical care. We are a society. We should act like one.
But the immediate result – if you don't wait for things to level out again – is that insurance companies panic because they are no longer allowed to gouge people in the same shady ways they were doing before. And they have to accept everyone even if they have a pre-existing condition and they are scared of what that will cost. But the gouging was BAD and the turning down of people and claims were BAD. And trying to fix it is NOT bad. Why are we so confused about that?
You know, if you wanna save money on gas, you gotta invest in a more energy efficient car. And those are expensive. So it takes time and patience to recoup your losses. It takes time. It takes patience. Two things the Affordable Care Act has never been afforded.
And no plan is going to be perfect. Very few things in the world are perfect, ya'll. But our healthcare system heretofore has been disasterous. It is, by far, the leading cause of bankruptcy in this country. Not just for people who are without health insurance but for people WITH health insurance as well.
Pip's transplant cost ¾ of a million dollars in 2008 and his follow-up care ain't cheap either. We have a very expensive PPO covering Pip and we still pay a whole lot of money every year. We were lucky it didn't put us under. It could have.
But here's the most important thing you need to know about Pip's transplant: if he hadn't been insured, he would not have been eligible to get one. You are given basic medical care if you are uninsured – that is true. And when you can't pay, those of us who are insured end up paying. That's one part of our long-broken system. Another part is this: there are procedures that you can't get (and any kind of transplant would be considered such a procedure) unless you A) are insured or B) can prove you have the liquid assets to cover the procedure. Even if you have a living donor lined up, you cannot get a transplant without insurance. In a country that has the capability to perform miracles, you would be denied that miracle without insurance.
I watched a baby fail while waiting for a liver. I had hope that one would get to him in time. Imagine having no such hope. His liver stopped functioning, the liquid part of his blood spilled out into his body, his kidneys stopped working, his lungs filled with fluid, he felt like he was drowning, he no longer had the strength to cry, when he opened his eyes he couldn't focus them. Nobody should die like that when there are doctors nearby who can save him. Not in this country. We can do better than that.
I'm sorry you might have to pay more for your insurance for a while. There's a cap, you know. And incentives. If they don't apply to you, it's possible you make too much money to be complaining. Still, I'm sorry if there are inconveniences with a huge new overhaul of the entire health system of an enormous first-world country. My son's hospital got a new e-mail system and it took them forever to fix the glitches so that the emails actually went to the right people on the actual day they were sent. Did we really think the Affordable Care Act would be glitch-free? And did we think it would be perfect and it would improve everyone's health insurance costs and everyone's health insurance accessibility equally and immediately...before it was fully implemented? Did we? Maybe we did. In this throw-away society where we ditch marriages when they become imperfect or houses or cars or pets… Maybe we did expect instantaneous perfection - before all the phases of the law were even implemented. Maybe we did. How silly.
For me, the bottom line is this: Are we people who hold out our hands to help those of us who need a lift up or are we people who step on their heads?
If I hear one more person say "I was happy with my insurance the way it was" I am going to lose my mind. I can only imagine them saying it while stepping on the heads of the people who have none.
And a government shutdown is bush league.

My friend Robert is a pastor who is also a professor. One year, when his class was talking about the Christmas story, he gave them a primer on shepherds and how they weren't nearly as pristine as our nativity scenes would have us believe. They were the outcasts of society—dirty, smelly and more comfortable outside with the sheep than inside with the people.
One of the young women in the class, raised in an era of Purel in every classroom, asked, "Do you think the dirty, smelly shepherds got to hold the baby Jesus?"
Did they get to hold the baby Jesus? This question hit a little too close to home for me.
When our daughter was born, I was interning at a church in South Boston. Sandwiched between two housing projects, Fourth Presbyterian was a mixture of young up-and-coming professionals, the borderline homeless, people living with HIV and kids from the projects who came without their parents. It was a place where Alice, the first woman ordained into the PCUSA in the state of Massachusetts worshipped next to Jimbo, a home health aid who lived illegally in a condemned building. The congregation was filled with people of many different colors and backgrounds who came in varying degrees of cleanliness and mental health.
My husband and I were like all first time parents—completely clueless and trying our best to do right by this tiny human being those insane people at the hospital allowed us to bring home. Our efforts included making sure that everyone who held her had freshly washed hands and no visible signs of illness.
It came time to go back to church. We knew there was no way to shield her from the love and grimy hands and sometimes-alcohol-tinged breath of our congregation. So we just handed over our baby and said our prayers and tried to keep up with who was holding her as she was passed from person to person. The joy in the room smoothed over any anxiety I may have had. (My husband may tell this story differently.)
So my guess, is that, yes, the shepherds got to hold the Baby Jesus. Not because they were qualified childcare workers or because they had showered and sanitized before coming into the stable. Maybe it was because Mary and Joseph, like all new parents, had no idea what they were doing. Maybe it was because the shepherds showed up when aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents failed to. Or maybe, just maybe, just probably, it was because everyone gets to hold the baby Jesus. That's the whole point. Jesus came for us all, even the sweatiest and smelliest among us.
This Advent, as we travel to the manger, may we live as if we really believe that we get to hold the Baby Jesus. As people who know that we are loved unconditionally and forgiven when we falter and gifted with life in the here-and-now as well as in the hereafter. And may we live into the truth that we are not unique, and that everyone is invited to hold the Baby Jesus.
Those who are brave enough to tell their stories and those who refuse to believe those stories.
Those who hold "Black Lives Matter" signs and those who don't understand the need for such signs
Those who have no place to sleep tonight and those who live in houses with too many rooms to even use
Those who build walls and those who build bridges.
Everyone gets to hold the baby Jesus, who came for us all. Let us live for the day when we can live like we believe it.

The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by
It is not known how Dionysius established the year of Jesus's birth. Two major theories are that Dionysius based his calculation on the Gospel of Luke, which states that Jesus was "about thirty years old" shortly after "the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar", and hence subtracted thirty years from that date, or that Dionysius counted back 532 years from the first year of his new table.[18][19][20]
It has also been speculated by Georges Declercq[21] that Dionysius' desire to replace Diocletian years with a calendar based on the incarnation of Christ was intended to prevent people from believing the imminent

Although Anno Domini was in widespread use by the 9th century, the term "Before Christ" (or its equivalent) did not become common until much later. Bede used the expression "anno [...] ante incarnationem Dominicam" (in the year before the incarnation of the Lord) twice. "Anno ante Christi nativitatem" (in the year before the birth of Christ) is found in 1474 in a work by a German monk.[note 4] In 1627, the French
When the reckoning from Jesus' incarnation began replacing the previous dating systems in western Europe, various people chose different Christian feast days to begin the year:
With these various styles, the same day could, in some cases, be dated in 1099, 1100 or 1101.

Zoe's bubble is disgusting
For a character that only has to hit one spell to do whatever damage she does, it seems a little ridiculous to have a CC spell on par with a tanks. Does it REALLY need an area of effect trap which last for two seconds AFTER it MISSES you? Does that really seem fair? Small Edit: Perhaps the reason it feels unfair is because it gets part of two worlds. Is the skill a skill shot or a trap? Traps don't trigger instantly when they hit someone. They're used to cut off routes of escape while skill shots don't stay after they're shot. Whats the intent of the skill? I believe it should just be a skill shot considering I rarely have used it as a means to cut off an opponent. You want to keep the circle? Go ahead, just don't make it linger like a trap. The player shouldn't be rewarded for missing.
