The Company provides vehicle sellers with a range of services to process and sell vehicles primarily over the Internet through its virtual bidding third generation Internet auction-style sales technology (VB3). It sells vehicles primarily to insurance companies, such as banks and financial institutions, charities, car dealerships, municipalities, fleet operators and vehicle rental companies. The Company sells the vehicles principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers and exporters and, at certain locations, to the general public.
In the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Ireland, Spain, and India, the Company sells vehicles primarily as an agent and derives revenue primarily from fees paid by vehicle sellers and vehicle buyers, as well as related fees for services, such as towing and storage. In the United Kingdom, the Company operates both on a principal basis, purchasing the salvage vehicles outright from the insurance companies and reselling the vehicles for its own account, and as an agent. In Germany and Spain, it also derives revenue from sales listing fees for listing vehicles on behalf of many insurance companies.
The Company's service offerings include Online Seller Access, Salvage Estimation Services, Estimating Services, End-Of-Life Vehicle Processing, Virtual Insured Exchange (VIX), Transportation Services, Vehicle Inspection Stations, On-Demand Reporting, Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) Processing, Flexible Vehicle Processing Programs, Buy It Now, Member Network, Sales Process, Copart Dealer Services, CashForCars.com and U-Pull-It.

The Company offers Copart ProQuote, a service that assists sellers in the vehicle claims evaluation process by providing online salvage value estimates, which helps sellers determine whether to repair a particular vehicle or deem it a total loss.
The Company offers vehicle sellers in the United Kingdom estimating services for vehicles taken to its facilities. Estimating services provide its insurance company sellers repair estimates, which allow the insurance company to determine if the vehicle is a total loss vehicle. If the vehicle is determined to be a total loss, it is assigned to the Company to sell. The Company provides the venue for insurance customers to enter a vehicle into a sealed bid sale, thereby enabling the insurance customer to access market value information when negotiating with owners wishing to retain their damaged vehicles. The Company maintains contracts with third-party vehicle transport companies, which enable the Company to pick up its sellers vehicles within 24 hours. In the United Kingdom, the Company performs transportation services through a combination of its fleet of over 200 vehicles and third-party vehicle transport companies.

The Company provides vehicle sellers with real time data for vehicles, which includes gross and net returns on each vehicle, service charges, and other data that enables its vehicle sellers to administer and monitor the vehicle disposition process. The Company offers a computer system, which provides a direct link to the DMV computer systems of multiple states, allowing the Company to expedite the processing of vehicle title paperwork.
The Company sells vehicles pursuant to its Percentage Incentive Program (PIP), Consignment Program, or Purchase Program. Its Percentage Incentive Program is a processing program designed to serve the needs of vehicle sellers. Under PIP, the Company agrees to sell all of the vehicles of a seller in a specified market, usually for a predetermined percentage of the vehicle sales price. Under its consignment program, the Company sells vehicles for a fixed consignment fee. Under the purchase program, it purchases vehicles from a vehicle seller at a formula price, based on a percentage of the vehicles estimated pre-accident value (PAV), or actual cash value (ACV), and sell the vehicles for its own account. Its purchase program is offered primarily in the United Kingdom. The Company maintains a database of thousands of members in the vehicle dismantling, rebuilding, repair licensee, used vehicle dealer and export industries, as well as the general public, as it sells directly to the general public at certain locations. Its database includes each member's vehicle preference and purchasing history.
The Company provides franchise and independent dealers with a method to sell their trade-ins through any of its facilities. The Company provides the general public with a method to sell their vehicles. Anyone can call 1-800-Cash-For-Cars or go to CashForCars.com and arrange to obtain a valid offer to purchase their vehicle. Upon acceptance of its offer to purchase their vehicle, it gives them a check for their vehicle and then sells the vehicle on its own behalf. As of July 31, 2016, the Company had two facilities in the United Kingdom, from which the public can purchase parts from salvaged and end-of-life vehicles.
The Company competes with KAR Auction Services, Inc., Auction Broadcasting Company, LLC, Manheim, Inc., LKQ Corporation, Inc., the American Recycling Association and the United Recyclers Group, LLC.

Does meaning change if you play the notes backwards? Boulez explored this question in the 11th notation. 6 measures in, he reverses everything, rhythm and pitch. The only thing different is in which octave the pitches are placed.
I played the 10th Notation in the last video of the series, which you can watch by clicking here. In the next video, I will play the last notation.

Shakespeare did say that while someone possesses wealth, you are in a state of grace from the God.
A: "I have money, you don't have. So, you have to respect me."
B: "That's your money, why shoud I respect you?"
A: "Then, I'll give you 1/4 of my money, will you respect me?"
B: "Since you only give me 1/4, why should I respect you?"
A: "How about 1/2 of it?"
B: "In that case, my money will go equally to yours, why should I respect you?"
A: "Think about it if I give you all my money?"
B: "Well, I am rich and you are poor then, do you think I will respect you?"
We usually care about what we have and what we have missed. Learn from B that we can actually overcome most of the problems and situations if we possess B's mind to treat ourselves better. Then, we will definitely lead our life freely and superiorly.
Cheer up!

This morning's Denver Post features a Colorado Rockies story on page one -- but it's not about the team's eleventh straight victory, which tied a franchise record. Rather, it concerns an interview with catcher Yorvit Torrealba on the subject of his son's kidnapping and eventual rescue in Venezuela. And its placement was more than justified by writer Troy Renck's straight-forward yet sympathetic prose.

At times, the Post has pushed sports stories onto its cover that may not have truly earned the privilege. Not this time, though. The broadsheet's editors are to be applauded for recognizing that, in this case, off-the-field events were far more important than diamond heroics.

We have a new place to recommend to anyone who loves island life barefoot style. The Hill team, couples, parents and the staff all love da Conch Shack and Rum Bar in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It made us smile to see the happy children playing in the sand while families relaxed in the turquoise waters. Some guests sat on on old tree trunk in the sand sipping their rum punches at sundown.
We began our delicious conch feast with the locals sharing a pitcher of the Rum Bars famous rum punch. The colors were a vibrant mix of crimson and gold, topped with a generous amount of deep amber Bamberra and Myers rums.
At first sip we kicked off our flip flops and dove into the fresh and tender conch salad. To demonstrate how to make it, one the staff took us to the waters edge. He expertly wrestled the pure white of the conch meat from the brilliant pink shell, then cut it into strips. Sea food cannot get any fresher than this.
The conch chowder had us all swooning with comfort food pleasure. The difference in their chowder is that it is chock full of the same tender conch. Our team was feeling delightfully satisfied when they served us platters of hot and crunchy conch fritters with the perfect pink sauce. We simply could not staying…just one more. Our early lunch drifted into late afternoon. Jimmy Buffet was singing that "It is 5 o'clock somewhere." No one wanted to leave.
There are many fine restaurants in the Turks and Cacaos, especially in and around Provo. We would not want to be here and miss the delectable food and laid-back ambiance of Caribbean music and authentic food at the Conch Shack.

6 Tips to Writing a Bestselling YA Series | WritersDigest.com
I especially like the cartoons. Very cute.
Pretty Little Liars (Books, not TV Show)
Currently, I'm riding the wave that is the world of 5 teenage girls – commonly referred to as the Pretty Little Liars. I was a big fan of the tv series since the beginning, but I have been on and off that particular ride because of how drawn out it is. Just when you think you know what's going on, they spin the story on its head and get it to break – dance for you. So, I thought, Sara Shepard has already written the books, I think I'll give them a go.
The first thing that grabbed me was the order of events. The end of the first book is parallel to the end of the first episode. This doesn't mean that the story runs verbatim, however. No. We are introduced to nearly every important character in the series and she sets up a lot of the secrets that are to be unfolded throughout the rest of the books.
I have to say that I love the books and I'm a huge fan of the author. I understand that the intended audience is young adult, but it really brings me back to my teenage years and the problems I can empathize with are universal.
It is a little grating how often she repeats facts from one book to the other. I'm eating through them so fast that I can do without it, but maybe with the time taken to write one, Shepard felt it was necessary to remind her readers of things that came before. So, with this in mind, I try not to hold it against her.
I am now up to book 6: Killer, and I don't think it will take long to find out the big secrets. With 10 books in total, the ending better be good or the disappointment will make me ill.
Has anyone else read these books? Without spoilers, what do you think? I'd love to know what others think.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an upcoming action-adventure game set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings universe. As a direct follow-up to the excellent Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War expands on almost every aspect of the previous game, delivering a larger open world, more complex combat, and a hugely expanded "Nemesis" system, which sees procedurally-generated orc warlords vie for control of Mordor. Shadow of War is expected to be available on October 10 for $59.99.
Microsoft has a marketing deal with Shadow of War, which will hit both Xbox One and Windows 10 as an Xbox Play Anywhere title; a rare feat for a third-party, AAA game. Shadow of War will also be enhanced on the Xbox One X, with 4K visuals and boosted effects and features.
While the Xbox One X will steal the spotlight, Microsoft still projects that the Xbox One S will continue to outsell its flagship 4K console due to the more affordable price. For those who want to jump into the Xbox ecosystem at a lower price point, this new Shadow of War bundle might be just what the wizard ordered.
The Xbox One S comes with 4K media capabilities, including Netflix and UHD Bluray, with HDR lighting thrown in for good measure. It's sleek and compact, and can be positioned vertically for those with limited space.
The Xbox One S Shadow of War bundle will come in 500GB and 1TB hard drive options, with a copy of the game and some bonus in-game items. It also includes 14 days of Xbox Live and a one-month Xbox Game Pass subscription trial, clearly intended to rope in newcomers to the ecosystem.
Here are some more details on the bundle:
- Xbox One S with either a 500GB or 1TB hard drive.
- Middle-earth: Shadow of War, including the bonus in-game items Legendary Champions War Party and the Epic Sword of Dominion.
- Xbox Wireless Controller.
- One-month Xbox Game Pass subscription with unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and Backward Compatible Xbox 360 games.
- 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial to experience the most advanced multiplayer gaming network.
From Microsoft:
The 1TB bundle will be available for $349 USD in all Xbox One markets excluding China and Japan, and the 500GB bundle will be available for $279 USD in all Xbox One markets excluding the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, China and Japan.
The bundle should be available on October 10, 2017, to coincide with the game's launch date, and it should serve as a great introductory offer for those not gunning for the Xbox One X this holiday season.

So much so there two online petitions pleading for a stop for to the construction. One petition had more than 20 000 names while the other had more than 3000.
"Right now a massive pipeline is being built to send raw sewage gushing into the Vaal dam," stated the one.
The other stated "The raw sewage pipe is for a massive settlement called Refengkhotso. This sewerage waste will be pumped directly into the Vaal Dam causing major contamination to humans and all wildlife in this massive area of water".
The project is the brainchild of the Metsimaholo local municipality in the Free State. However, no need to panic yet, said government.
"It is not raw sewage, it is treated effluent," Department of Water and Sanitation spokesperson Sputnik Ratau told 702 Radio yesterday.
He said after the department became aware of the project and an inspection found construction of the pipeline was right through a wetland.
It also found there was no authorisation from the department for the discharge to be in the Vaal Dam nor was there permission for the pipeline to go through a wetland.
"When we heard the pipe was going through a wetland, we had to stop it because a wetland is a protected area. The municipality then wanted to run the pipe along the road but because we had not received an application we did not give them authorisation," Ratau said.
DA MPL James Letuka confirmed construction had stopped however added the local sewerage plant was unable to meet the municipality's needs. "As a result surrounding areas are overflowing with raw sewerage. This poses a serious environmental and health risk."
He said he had written to MEC of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Matawana Mlamleli, "who did not bother to reply to me."
Nor did her department reply to The Citizen queries. Still, there is a policy document entitled Norms & Standards for Quality Water Services, which falls under the ambit of the now defunct Department of Water and Forestry. So whoever is enforcing the policy is anyone's guess.
And it's not like we can afford to mess with the Vaal anymore.
"There are collieries upstream from the dam which impact negatively on its water quality," said expert Garfield Krige of African Environmental Development, a company concentrating on water management and hydrology.
"The Vaal Dam also receives water from the Lesotho Highlands which keeps on diluting whatever comes down the river." These, said Krige, would include metals and acids from acid mine drainage.
"We are not doing much to protect our rivers in general," said Krige.
Mike Bailie is a campaigner at Avaaz – a global organisation which works on a range of issues from democracy and human rights to the environment and social justice, said on Thursday it had nearly 25 000 South Africans who have signed its petition. "And we are working with local residents on how we can permanently end the project," said Bailie.
He said there are fears that although the pipeline is suspended at the moment, it could be resumed when things quieten down.

Panetta Institute intern focusing on accounting career
Crisha came to Dominican in the fall of 2012 as a Business Administration major but, with the guidance and support of her professors, she found flexibility in her schedule to take on a second major in Political Science, and a minor in Leadership Studies.
In 2015, Crisha was the recipient of the Panetta Institute Congressional Scholarship, which provided her the opportunity to work for U.S. Representative Doris Matsui, and live in Washington D.C. for a semester. While in Washington, Crisha saw the Pope, witnessed a change in House Speakers, gave tours of the Capitol, and attended briefings on drones, gun control, and mental health.
"I never have run out of opportunities here. Every professor and every person at Dominican that I have encountered have always provided me with more opportunities," Crisha says "That's what I like about Dominican. I feel like I have a personal relationship with all my professors and every step has proven that. In particular Dr. Denise Lucy and Karen Dunn from the Barowsky School of Business, and Assistant Professor Alison Howard from the Political Science Department have always been supportive and encouraging. I could not have accomplished as much as I have without them."
During her time at Dominican, Crisha also was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society for Business and Management, the Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honors Society, the Dominican World's Scholar Program, and was the Chapter President for Dominican's debate club.
In the last two years, Crisha worked as the Student Lead Volunteer Coordinator for the Institute for Leadership Studies lecture series and has worked with civic leaders, authors, and musicians such as U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Carlos Santana. In her role, she doubled the diversified active volunteer membership. She attributed this success through the establishment of an online sign-up system, maintaining clear communication with volunteers, and by teaming up with her friend, Jessy Marshall, who is the ILS Social Media Coordinator.
Crisha also interned for U.S. Representative Mike Thompson, Vice-Mayor of Vallejo Rozzana Verder-Aliga, Sister City International, the City of Vallejo Finance Department, and the accounting firm Moss Adams LLP. While working with Sister City International, Crisha helped plan the Vallejo city reception for Jakaya Kikwete, former President of the United Republic of Tanzania. However, after interning for Moss Adams LLP this past summer, Crisha has decided to pursue a career in accounting. She has accepted a full-time position as an Assurance Service Staff Member at Moss Adams LLP beginning in November.
Although Crisha is going to begin her career in accounting, she plans to continue to be active in politics in her local community.
"There are so many ways you can help people," Crisha says. "Pursuing a job in accounting doesn't take away my ability to participate in government."

April 2, 2019
April 2, 2019
By Kristena Schutt-Moore
When people talk about local music one name is sure to always pop up, John Foreman.
Foreman celebrated his 80th birthday with friends, family and fans at the Lake St. Peter community centre on Saturday, March 23.
Born on March 20, 1939, Foreman's love of music started at the young age of 10 when he got his first mouth organ, also known as a harmonica. "It was a half hour walk to school every day and I used to play it on my way to school and back. The other kids would see it and want to play with it, but they would honk on it and blow the reed out or drop it in the dirt. I soon caught on to that. So I found a hollow post in the school yard fence and hid my mouth organ in that till it was the end of the school day so I could play it again on my way home."
His first instrument was the mouth organ, then he taught himself the fiddle, then the banjo "because when I was young, you'd get together to play with people you'd have so many guitars, that's why I waited so long to play guitar. There were songs to be sung and the banjo didn't do it. So I took up guitar."
Now Foreman figures that he will have to give up instruments in the reverse order he learned them. "You see my hand, well it's a bit distorted. I figure the guitar will be my first instrument I'll have to give up then banjo, and then fiddle, and then mouth organ. There are already things on the guitar that I used to be able to do that I can't do [anymore]. I can see it coming, but who knows, as long as I keep playing as long as I can."
Music has always been a major part of Foreman's life. Even when out doing log hewing demonstrations he always has a penny whistle sticking out of his jeans pocket ready to give a happy little tune to those passing by.
Foreman's work to honour local heritage and music has been recently honoured. It has been announced that Foreman is to be inducted into the Land o' Lakes Traditional Music Hall of Fame. The hall of fame honours local musicians who have put in years of work sharing their love of classic country, blue grass, Celtic and '50s and '60s bebop music.
The hall of fame is not housed in a physical building, but has a website and some memorabilia from the inducted members that are offered to museums in Tweed, Napanee, Cloyne and Hartington. The inductees receive their honourary plaque at the annual induction ceremony at the Flinton Jamboree, which takes place on Oct. 5 this year. The goal of this is to honour the performers who have contributed significantly to traditional music in the three counties of Frontenac, Hastings and Lennox and Addington.
Foreman is honoured to be recognized by his musical peers in the area. "I never made any money out of it [playing music], except maybe some gas money, but it's fun and I enjoy it and that's the important part."
Foreman hosts a monthly open mic night call the "7 to 11 Cafe" at the Wattle and Daub Cafe. This charitable event helps musicians and performers who are just starting, to gain some experience and raises funds for area organizations. Each night a list of charities is created and those in attendance vote on which organization will receive the funds raised. "I like open mics because I like to entertain, but I also like to be entertained, you never know what you might hear, and everyone has got to start somewhere."

Hi All,
I've just begun a new marketing plan, and one thing I have promised myself to do is to update my blog more regularly. I'm also going to create a couple more blogs for specific subjects, and will begin to do some vlogging (Video-logging) soon as well!
This blog will continue to be my overall unleashedminds.com website blog, and will have a bit of information in all of my areas of interest (Affirmations, Sweepstakes, and my Weight Loss Journey).
I will be creating a separate blog for my weight loss journey. I began Nutrisystem on December 5, 2011 and have since lost 29.2 pounds. I'm enjoying the process, and have about 130 more pounds I wish to lose. I also will be getting back to walking/jogging and will be entering and completing more 5Ks, 10Ks and Half Marathons, with the all-important Full Marathon out there on my horizon to finish some day (hopefully this Fall!)
Thanks for coming along for the ride, and keep coming back, as I will soon be starting up some of my own sweepstakes again for free copies of my books, and more.
To see what wins I've begun the new year off with (and it's an impressive list for one month of entering, if I do say so myself), please come to visit my sweepstakes page at: www.unleashedminds.com/good/Sweeps.htm
Let's all have a great, positive, winning week!

Gun deck
The term gun deck used to refer to a deck aboard a ship that was primarily used for the mounting of cannon to be fired in broadsides. The term is generally applied to decks enclosed under a roof; smaller and unrated vessels carried their guns on the upper deck, forecastle and quarterdeck, and these were not described as gun decks.[1]
On marine seismic survey vessels, the lowest deck on the ship is normally referred to as the gun deck. This deck carries the seismic source arrays, consisting of air guns arranged in clusters.[2][3]
The term "gun deck" is also navy slang for fabricating or falsifying something. A possible explanation relates to midshipmen retiring to the gun deck to complete their celestial navigation assignments of computing the ship's position three times daily following morning star sights, noon sun line, and evening star sights. While some midshipmen might be conscientious about computing positions from new observations, others were reputed to extrapolate and back calculate observation data from dead reckoning courses and speeds since earlier observations, and the computations performed on the gun deck were suspect.[4]
This term is now used to indicate the falsification of documentation in order to avoid doing the work or make present conditions seem otherwise acceptable.[4]

The dynamics of strange vector meson resonances (K* and K̄*) is investigated within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. We present the time evolution of the production of K*− resonances from the QGP phase by quark fusion as well as from hadronic sources. We also give a brief overview of the modification of the K* through Kπ decay and K*N interaction in a hot and dense nuclear medium.

The Scenario.
- A new start with 500 cases ready and waiting to be actioned, 20 fresh cases were being added every day.
- The system needed to be high performance, and able to scale to 120 users.
- A minimum life of 5 years, whilst being rock solid reliable.
- The new system needed to up and running for the first day back at work in 2016, ready for a team of 20 to hit the ground running.
After talking with the technical team at ProClaim we had a crystal clear idea of exactly what sort of server and system would both cope with the initial load the growth potential.
What is ProClaim?
As a legal professional you're probably familiar with ProClaim. You wouldn't be alone. It's the leading legal software solution. Over 23,000 professionals rely on Proclaim Case Management, Practice Management and Matter Management solutions to help deliver efficient, effective legal services.
So, when we were referred to a new solicitor in Bolton to specify, install and support their new IT system, it was little surprise that it would be running ProClaim. It was little surprise too that we'd been referred in. Experience with similar clients running MS SQL business systems had clearly demonstrated our ability in supporting ProClaim.
What's more, we were asked to contribute at extremely short notice.
The SaaSAge Solution
In short – a Fully Redundant Virtualised Private Cloud with Virtual Shared SAN – Storage Area Network – by way of a virtual storage appliance.
A Private Cloud made up of 5 or 6 components, any of which could completely fail and the system would fail to go down. Using high speed, ultra-reliable enterprise level SSD technology alongside standard grade hard disks our virtual storage appliance merges disks in 2 computers to form a single large virtual disc array. A virtual storage appliance that intelligently shuffles data around to put the most frequently accessed data on the fastest disk. Optimised performance. Optimised resilience.
40 cores spread over 4 CPUs, 256 Gb RAM, 10Gb Ethernet redundant backbone network and 4Tb of storage and proven specialist storage software so effective that HP bought the company that developed it. Sat on top of this VMware ESXi intelligently manages the performance of the cluster, shuffling virtual servers between hosts to make the most of the clusters power while minimising ongoing power and cooling costs.
All the resources necessary to manage ProClaim work flows, reporting, running management dashboards starting with 20 users, but with scope to grow to 140. Arguably the most automated solicitors in the UK.
DRAAS – Heard of it?
Disaster Recovery as a Service – It's important. Very important.
As a legal services company with many legal obligations, our client and their clients require nothing short of absolute confidence that should disaster strike, it's not terminal. So, we factored disaster recovery into our post installation support – a server sat in the SaaSAge offices synchronises constantly with the client's virtual storage appliance. A real-time replica of the live system ready to take to site within minutes in the event of disaster.
Real system design. Real system installation. Real contingency planning.
A real high performance system. A system designed to perform for years

Global Broadband Network Gateway Market: Competitive Environment & Forecast 2018 – 2026
"The Latest Research Report Broadband Network Gateway provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. – MarketResearchReports.biz"
Broadband network gateway (BNG) is the access point for subscribers, through which they connect to the broadband network. The broadband network gateway is a subscriber management system which provides the means by which wireline subscribers connect to broadband services. This subscriber management system is set up either by an internet service provider (wholesale services) or the wireline broadband network operator (retail services).
The broadband network gateway system establishes secure subscriber sessions between the customer premise equipment (CPE) and the broadband services. The purpose of the broadband network gateway system is to enable the BNG router to interact with peripheral devices and servers, to provide broadband connectivity to subscribers and manage subscriber sessions.

Mobile is growing faster than all other digital advertising formats in the US, as advertisers begin allocating dollars to catch the eyes of a growing class of "mobile-first" users.
Historically, there has been a big disparity between the amount of time people actually spend on their smartphones and tablets (significant and growing), and the amount of ad money spent on the medium (still tiny).
But BI Intelligence expects that this gap will narrow substantially, as enthusiasm grows for mobile-optimized ad formats (such as interactive rich media and native ads), as targeting improves, and as more and more advertisers learn how to effectively use the platform.
New data from BI Intelligence finds that US mobile ad spend will top nearly $42 billion in 2018, rising by a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43% from 2013.

Barkhouse, Joyce
Volume 21 Number 2
Yesterday's Children is a collection of twelve short stories about Nova Scotia's past. The stories vary in topic and style, from pioneer life in "Pioneer Cat" and "Watchers in the Night" to encounters with Native people in "The Apples of Hufeisen Bucht" and excitement and rescue in "Red Petticoats" and "Bay of Fundy Rescue."
All the stories are short and easy to read. They all have young protagonists and tell of incidents of interest to young readers. They are all well researched.
Unfortunately, the stories are not all the same quality readers expect from Joyce Barkhouse. Some of them are excellent — "Jennifer and the Letter" and "Heroine of Lunenburg," for example, combine historical detail with a strong plot and warm, realistic characters. In other stories, however, the history "lesson" becomes all-important, and the story-telling becomes secondary to the facts. This is most obvious in the last story in the book, "The Halifax Explosion," in which readers are frequently given information unknown to the heroine that detracts from the plot.
Yesterday's Children also includes some historical notes on details important to young children, such as pioneer schools, games and weather forecasts. Additional story "clues" are included in the sketch-like illustrations.
Yesterday's Children is a good introduction to Nova Scotia history and would be a valuable complement to the social studies curriculum in Canadian schools. Even with its flaws, it serves an important function — it brings history to life in an easy-to-read way.
Yesterday's Children is a collection of short historical stories for ages nine to twelve — a good buy!

Chocolate Cream Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
One of the first few cozy mysteries I began reading almost fifteen years ago was the Hannah Swensen series by Joanne Fluke. For years, I adored the series, but then I switched to something else to try and experience a wider variety. About two years ago, I jumped back into its safety and caught up to the latest one… that is, until Chocolate Cream Pie Murder was published (or will be in the coming weeks). I won it via NetGalley and had to devour it today. How exciting to catch up in Hannah's life especially after the new about Ross! If you haven't read the last few books, stop reading here. If you have, it's okay to continue…
I loved Ross in the beginning. I wanted Hannah to choose him. I loved Norman more than Mike, but they'd gotten old after 20 books. I needed something fresh, and it appeared Hannah did too, since she wouldn't accept either's marriage proposal for years. It wasn't that she didn't want to get married. She did. Just couldn't decide who. On a whim tho, she said yes to Ross. And her troubles began. For weeks, he was a perfect husband. Then he disappeared. Then it turned out he was already married. LOUSE! Fluke ruined a perfectly good character. I'll have a hard time forgiving her, but that's life… and it made for good drama.
I enjoyed this book. We see the aftermath of Ross's craziness. We see Hannah's recovery. I love revisiting all the characters in these books because I want to live in Lake Eden, Minnesota, blizzards and all. Can I move there please? Okay… that might be going a tad far, but this book showed signs of getting back to the norm before we took a downward turn in the late teens of the series. That said, it's not completely good news on all fronts. At the sacrifice of family and friends we adore, the supporting characters in this book are some newer ones and some we hadn't known too well. I miss the old gang, but they'll be back soon, I'm sure.
The mystery was okay. It was a weird setup. No one died until 80% into the book. We knew who would die, but along the way, the suspects hadn't built up. Or so we thought. Ultimately, I didn't like the structure in this one, but I did like the story itself. Fluke will always have a fan in me. I hope this means Norman gets his chance now… as Mike already had a wife. I suppose Norman did too, but she was murdered. Eh, what am I saying, I can't decide. I'm the male version of Hannah!
Just wait til the end… I knew the cliffhanger was coming. It had to happen. Fluke's as bad as me with ending our books in such a manner. But I'm pretty certain it will mean something else when we get to the next one. I HOPE SO AT LEAST!

Presidential Race Remains Top Story
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism did not publish a full Weekly News Index report for December 23-28, 2007. PEJ is, however, making the data available.
Talk Hosts Pounce as Clinton Appears to Stumble
All year long, Hillary Clinton has dominated the campaign conversation on the talk airwaves. And last week, signs that the Democratic battle for president might be tightening had many hosts talking up the idea of a Clinton swoon. Plus, Michael Savage on steroids. (Talking about them, not taking them.)
Mike Huckabee Gets His Media Close-Up
The unlikely surge of former Arkansas Governor helped generate the biggest week of coverage for the presidential campaign so far in 2007. But as Huckabee is learning, some media attention is more welcome than others. Plus, the Mitchell report turns steroid abuse in baseball into a front-page story—some might say at long last.
Talk Hosts React to Romney on Religion
Thanks to Mitt Romney's big speech on his Mormon faith, the presidential race was the biggest story of the week in the talk universe last week. And while the new intelligence report on Iran sparked a lively debate, the CIA's destruction of two terror interrogation tapes didn't generate much interest.
A Nuclear Surprise Puts Iran in the News
For most of the year, the American media have been far more preoccupied with the war in Iraq than with growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. But last week, a new intelligence report sparked a heated debate over policy toward the leadership in Tehran.
Rock 'em, Sock 'em Republicans Fuel Big Week of Campaign Coverage
The increasingly heated exchanges between Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney helped make the race for the White House the top story last week in PEJ's Index of the news. On the Democratic side, a former President generated a good chunk of the coverage, and it wasn't all good. That, plus a football murder case.
Gotcha and Mini-Scandals Fuel the Year's Biggest Campaign Week
Planted questions, the B-word, and an embarrassing indictment were all fodder for journalists covering the revved up race for the White House last week. In Pakistan, a national crisis turns personal in the media. And cable news' favorite celebrity defendant.
Liberal Talkers Cheer the "I" Word – and so Does Rush
Dennis Kucinich's call to impeach Vice President Cheney made nary a blip with the general media last week but it was a big story on in the talk media, especially on the left side of the talk radio dial. Meanwhile the many angles of the 2008 campaign gave everyone grist to talk about.
Turmoil in Pakistan Grabs the Media's Attention
With the exception of the war in Iraq, international affairs tend not to generate major media interest. But General Pervez Musharraf's Nov. 3 declaration of emergency rule in Pakistan proved to be a dramatic exception to that rule—and there may be several disquieting reasons why.
The Talkers Hammer Hillary Clinton
Thanks in part to the Democrats' spirited debate in Philadelphia, last week was the biggest week of the year for the presidential campaign in the universe of radio and cable talk shows. The main course was the Democratic front runner who got carved up by hosts and pundits of various political stripes.

Chevy finally got around to putting their all-mighty ZR1 to the ultimate test: Germany's own Nurburgring. If you haven't been following the dual, Nissan's GT-R surprised everyone with a lap time of 7 minutes, 29.03 seconds… a VERY fast time. Chevy said that their ZR1 would beat it, and the new $103K Corvette followed through with a blazing time of 7 minutes and 26.4 seconds. Not bad, not bad at all Chevy! They say there was also a strong headwind on the longest straight, which might have slowed it down a bit.
They only thing Chevy is sweating over now, other than the dismal car market, is Nissan's GT-R V-Spec, the even more highly tuned and taught version of the already fast GT-R. Unofficial times of the V-Spec put it somewhere near the 7:25 mark, and since the GT-R is already $30k less that the ZR1, Nissan has a lot of head room to play with to beat out the Vette. Rest assured, when the official times are posted, you'll find them here at the AutoAnything blog… this is one dog fight we're not going to miss!

I'm paraphrasing. By most accounts he said "You see, I don't mind what happens," but he could have easily said either, and not giving a sh*t is a concept more people can identify with— but nothing else captures this piece of wisdom quite as well like the *sheet* word
It's contagious and spreading like wild fire. A lot of people are catching a mean case of a stank attitude. The "I don't care " ideology has become an epidemic. Be cautious and beware of symptoms including but not limited to: "I do what I want", " you not talking to me", " who the hell are you", "what do you want" ,"I don't care", with an eye roll and body twitch that follows. These symptoms currently affect adolescents and non-inspiring ignorant adults but cases has spread to others as well. The common cure for this disease is a bitch slap or an insult. Insulting the idiot with his or her own words make's them realize how dumb they really are and if that don't work then bitch slap a hoe.
When you tell people to "not mind what happens," they'll probably look at you funny. But everyone understands that there are times in life when the best way to respond to an unpleasant event is to not give a sheet.Giving a sheet really just amounts to thinking about what happened. If someone was rude to you on the phone, and you think a lot about it, you are giving a sheet. If you hang up and shrug and then go for a bike ride, then you are successfully not giving a sheet.Giving a sheet does not necessarily mean you're doing anything useful, but it makes it seem like you are. It feels like there's some kind of justice that you're getting closer to with every moment you give a sheet. But that's not true, because giving a sheet, by itself, is only thinking — and thinking has little use aside from figuring out what to do.
Society is idolizing ignorance, praising hopelessness/isolation and encouraging disrespect. Most thoughts just fill up your head and distance you from the life that's still unfolding in front of you. They're not leading to any important decisions or insights, they're just taking over your present moment, and possibly shortening your life span.We often believe that our thoughts are accomplishing something just because they're emotionally charged, or because they're "about" something we consider important, like fairness, respect, or the state of society.No. They are useful only insofar as they get you to move your body and do something useful.
