2007 world champion returns to partner Alonso
After four years away (but only three off the payroll) Ferrari's last world champion returns to the Scuderia to partner its tainted goldenballs, Fernando Alonso.
Kimi's race-winning form with Lotus during the past two years, coupled with a real fear that Alonso was about to do the unthinkable and walk out on his long-term contract to McLaren, led to this unlikely renewal of wedding vows.

Fenton, J.
On December 27, 1974 the petitioner, City of Fall River, (City) filed a petition under G. L. c. 60, § 65 to foreclose all rights of redemption under a tax title on property in Fall River described in the petition as located at "Pleasant & Seventh NW N-3-28 7,464 sq. ft." (locus). Ethel Goldberg of New Bedford, the respondent, was named in the petition as the owner of the property and the only person known to have any interest in it. [Note 1]
There followed an examination of title and notice by registered mail to the respondent owner as required by G. L. c. 60, § 66.
On March 14, 1975 the respondent, through counsel, filed an appearance and answer which confirmed that she owned the locus and alleged that "a serious and valid dispute exists ... as to the amount owed the petitioner." An accounting as to the amount of taxes owed was requested but no offer to redeem was ever made by or on behalf of the respondent. By notice dated September 11, 1975 counsel withdrew his appearance for the respondent. By letter received on September 15, 1975, the respondent requested an extension of time before hearing to engage new counsel. The court obliged.
Since April 10, 1975, when the City's motion to assign for trial was allowed, this case has, on motions for continuances, been before each of the three judges of this court. Some of the requests for continuance were made by the City, but the majority of them were made by the respondent, either through counsel who appeared for that purpose, or through the respondent's daughter who has made a valiant attempt to assist her mother.
The judges of this court have repeatedly urged the respondent and her daughter to obtain counsel in this matter and have been generous in granting continuances for this purpose. One attorney, who did not file an appearance, has on various occasions contacted either the City or the office of the Deputy Assistant Clerk of this court requesting continuances in an effort to assist the respondent in reaching a settlement of the taxes owed to the City. His efforts resulted in the City abating nearly 50% of the amount owed for the years 1973, 1974 and 1975. The respondent attempted to obtain legal aid representation without any apparent success.
On each of the occasions when the respondent and her daughter appeared in court they advanced oral representations that they were not satisfied with the substantial abatement granted by the City, that the property in question was vacant, non-income producing land and that it was overvalued for assessment purposes. The court, in each instance, advised them that the issue of the assessed valuation of the locus was one over which this court was without jurisdiction in this type of proceeding. The court went to great lengths to advise them that the statutory proceedings for abatement under G. L. c. 59, §§ 59, 64 and 65 were the exclusive remedy for overassessment of real property.
On March 9, 1977 the respondent and her daughter appeared with new counsel who filed an appearance on behalf of the respondent and requested a further continuance to April 20th to determine if a settlement with the City by way of abatement might be effected. On April 20, 1977 said counsel caused a motion for leave to withdraw as counsel to be filed which was allowed. An affidavit accompanying the motion disclosed that counsel had been hospitalized and was convalescing. The affidavit further stated that the relationship between counsel's office and the respondent had become such that the office could no longer effectively represent the respondent's best interests. By request of the respondent, the case was again continued for hearing until June 8, 1977 with an order that no further continuances be granted. The respondent was urged by the court to seek new counsel, and she was referred to various bar associations for assistance.
On June 8, 1977 hearing in this case began, and it resumed on July 6, 1977 at which time it was concluded. The respondent and her daughter appeared at the hearing without counsel. The respondent represented herself with the vigorous assistance of her daughter.
Before the hearing concluded, the court had lengthy lobby conferences attended by the city treasurer and tax collector, the chairman of the board of assessors, who was requested by the court to be present, counsel for the City, the respondent and her daughter, in an effort to assist the respondent in effectuating a reasonable settlement of the outstanding tax account. After lengthy lobby discussion, the City proposed a settlement of the entire tax account, including current 1977 taxes, in this and a companion case involving an abutting parcel also owned by the respondent (Case No. 50598) in the amount of $12,500.00 and further proposed to recommend the reduction of the combined assessment on the locus and the abutting property in future years from $31,000.00 to $8,500.00. The respondent would not agree to the City's offer and chose to proceed to hearing.
No procedural issues of demand, notice, service or description of the property were raised by the respondent nor has she made an offer to redeem the locus under G. L. c. 60, § 68. One witness, the city treasurer and tax collector, appeared for the City. He gave testimony as to taxes owed on the locus for the years 1973 through 1977 inclusive together with accrued interest due. Three exhibits were admitted in evidence, the Instrument of Taking, and two official records of the tax title account on the locus kept by the treasurer-tax collector's office.
The respondent was permitted the opportunity to put relevant questions to the treasurer-tax collector and offered her daughter as her sole witness. Her only questions related to alleged overassessed valuation of the locus, a line of questioning not permitted by the court upon objection of the City. The respondent was given the opportunity at the hearing to present any other witnesses and to offer material and relevant evidence. She did not do so.
On all the evidence the court finds the following facts:
By Instrument of Taking dated April 1, 1974, recorded on the same date in the Bristol County Registry of Deeds, Fall River District, Book 1099, Page 39, the petitioner, under the provisions of G. L. c. 60, §§ 53 and 54 took property described in said Instrument of Taking as "Pleasant & Seventh NW N-3-28 7,464 sq. ft." (locus) for nonpayment of 1973 real estate taxes assessed thereon to the respondent as owner. The 1973 taxes which remained unpaid on the date of taking were $2,778.90. Added to this sum was interest of $110.85 and costs of $12.20 to said date resulting in a total sum of $2,901.95 due as of the date on which the locus was taken. The Instrument of Taking was introduced as an exhibit and, being duly recorded, was under G. L. c. 60, § 54, prima facie evidence of all facts essential to the validity of the title so taken. The locus is a vacant lot of land and in 1973 was assessed for $17,700.00. Subsequent to the taking, the City granted an abatement on the amount of taxes due for the year 1973 by agreement with one of the respondent's former counsel. The amount of the abatement was $1,469.37, leaving a balance due for 1973 taxes in the amount of $1,432.58. Interest accrued to July 6, 1977 was $467.85. None of the amount due for 1973 has been tendered or paid by the respondent.
The following amounts for subsequent taxes were added to the tax title account of the City in accordance with the provisions of G. L. c. 6o, § 61 for the years 1974 (a six month tax year due to conversion to the new fiscal year basis), fiscal 1975, fiscal 1976 and fiscal 1977: Taxes together with interest to the time of certification for the year 1974 on the locus were $1,415.66 of which the City, by agreement, subsequently abated $719.83 leaving a balance of $695.83 due. Interest accrued to July 6, 1977 was $203.98. None of this sum has been tendered or paid by the respondent. Taxes together with interest to the time of certification for fiscal 1975 on the locus were $2,871.48 of which amount the City subsequently abated $1,450.08 leaving an unpaid balance due of $1,421.40. Interest accrued to July 6, 1977 was $297.52. None of the 1975 taxes were tendered or paid by the respondent. Taxes together with interest to the time of certification for fiscal 1976 on the locus were $2,871.48. The City was prepared to give an abatement on this amount providing former counsel for the respondent would put the balance due in escrow. Since this was not done, no abatement on 1976 taxes was ever given. Interest accrued to July 6, 1977 was $315.47. None of the 1976 taxes were tendered or paid by the respondent. Taxes together with interest to the time of certification for fiscal 1977 on the locus Here $4,198.42. Interest accrued to July 6, 1977 was $6.90. There has been no abatement on the 1977 taxes and no payment has been made or tendered on the amount due.
The following is a summary of unpaid taxes on the locus including interest to July 6, 1977 the date of hearing:
|Unpaid balance due (after abatement)
|Unpaid balance due (after abatement)
|$ 695.83
|Unpaid balance due (after abatement)
|Unpaid amount due (no abatement )
|Unpaid amount due (no abatement)
|$ 6.90
The total unpaid taxes due on the locus from 1973 to the date of hearing together with accrued interest to July 6, 1977, redemption costs, and Land Court costs are the following:
|Redemption Costs
|Land Court Costs
This case involves the unfortunate situation in which, for whatever reason, the respondent has passed through a succession of legal counsel, none of whom have chosen to continue to represent her in this matter, although certain of her former counsel were successful in obtaining substantial abatements of taxes for the years 1973, 1974 and 1975. Since at the time of hearing the respondent could not obtain counsel, the court expended considerable time in conferring with all interested parties in an effort to reach a reasonable settlement for the respondent. As heretofore indicated the respondent would not agree to the proposed settlement and, under the circumstances, the court had no alternative but to bring the case to a conclusion. The court can reasonably infer that the respondent has not accepted the advice of former counsel to settle the tax account on agreements they had reached with the City.
The respondent has engaged at all stages of this case in a persistent and very vocal effort to protest the City's assessed valuation of the locus. Her total effort has been expended in attempting to have this court in this proceeding reduce the assessed valuation of the locus in a substantial amount. The case law is well settled that this cannot be done. The Legislature has provided a complete administrative remedy under G. L. c. 59, § 59 et seq. and judicial review of administrative remedies is provided by G. L. c. 58A, § 13. See Sears, Roebuck and Co. v. Somerville, 363 Mass. 756 (1973). See also Boston v. DuWors, 339 Mass. 772 , 773 (1959); Codman v. Assessors of Westwood, 309 Mass. 433 (1941).
Accordingly, the court finds that there is due to the City from the respondent the sum of $11,982.93 for taxes, interest and costs on the locus for the years 1973 through 1977 inclusive. Although the respondent has not made any specific offer to redeem, the court, in its discretion, orders that she be allowed to redeem the locus upon payment to the petitioner of the aforesaid amount on or before December 30, 1977 with any additional interest allowed by statute from the date of this decision to the date of payment. If there has been no redemption upon the terms set forth herein on or before December 30, 1977, a decree foreclosing all rights of redemption is to issue forthwith without further notice.
[Note 1] A companion case, No. 50598, between the City and the respondent involving an abutting parcel was heard immediately following this case and resulted in a separate decision.

This tour was the tour from hell … for me. For the group absolutely not, because they had loads of fun, costing me my hair of course. We are talking about a tour, which shows what Israel actually is, a mixture of culture, adventure, exploration and Israeli sights in all the major touristic centers of Israel. This article is part of the Tour Guide Diaries September 2016.
I'm working on whole range of new tours, like the so called low-budget tours and the tours, which mixes several things together in a more exciting tour then currently exists, and this tour is one of them (for example, we go on concert in the evening, visit festivals, workshops, join even a work camp to dig into the ground with the archeologists, visit the sights, do a little gem-touring, etc.). We were out for 12 days, our group was 50 (originally 30) strong from all over the United States, ages were between 17 and 63, and the group arrived at the airport 13 days ago (from the date of publishing)(so I'm recovering already for three days).
We went to the airport in a very good mood, I had my junior guides with me (Igor and Lena or together "the Juniors"), our new bus and the driver with the nickname "the Beast" (he's small and overly polite and never shows any emotion, so his nickname is "the Beast" and his real name is Eddie) to pickup our new group for our new mixture tours.
One thing about nicknames! I really didn't gave them their nicknames. I've no nickname … except 'the Sheik', because of some small misunderstanding last August, where some Bedouin men on the goat market of Be'er Sheba were advising me to take ten women as wives to drink coffee with me, but nobody remembers that, thank goodness for that.
I double checked my nice, sign-board (so people know it's us) I was holding with our names on it to welcome our group. I really don't want to repeat that prank from the last time where the driver changed the text into "Here's the Idiot" or something like that. The board covered our names nicely.
When the people started to stream out of the checkout I held up my board and voila! People noticed and streamed to us with smiles on their faces. I spoke before their flight with them in a conference call over the Internet and I'm happy they were in such a good mood.
"Hi Sheik! How are you?!" one yelled cheekily with a big grin on his face (someone has been talking)! And soon we were almost overwhelmed with the thirty people … and some … more? We moved our group from the hall to let them drink something and have maybe a bite to eat, but I realized that the group was much larger then 30! I was already upset about the Sheik thing and now this. Maybe some people they met during their flight? The Juniors were already suspiciously grinning.
It turned out that at the last moment they found more people who wanted to join this tour, but 'forgot' to tell me. So, suddenly instead of 30 people, we have now 45 people! And not to forget the payments. And the reservations. And the bus! And my heart! And what's left of my hair! And not to forget my blood pressure.
You know, I'm just 56 years old and I'm old man and it's really in those times that I'm thinking about going on pension. Maybe a pension on an island somewhere with nobody else then my wife. Well … when my wife comes with me, then she wants her cats also to come with us. And her aquarium with those bl**dy fish too. And the kids too and they have dogs.
I suddenly realize that we have a problem. The hotel reservation with our hotel is in Jerusalem and I know that they have no additional place; they are booked full (they had place for us of course, but with 30 people, not 45). One of my Juniors grabbed my hand, which was busy to pull out my hair (not joking). While the group was amusing themselves, five more people came in to join the group (they said 'sorry, we're late', carrying large boxes with toys they bought at Duty Free). That's 50!
I called a colleague, who must find us a hotel in or near Jerusalem, who can place a group of 53 people that same day. In high season! I quickly broke the connection with the swearing colleague (he's called 'The Pipe', because he smokes … guess what? Correct, large cigars).
Feeling better, I processed the extra people, gave a pep talk to the Juniors and moved the army … eh … group to the Beast (to our bus). The poor man's face lit up when he saw us coming. When the people started to enter his bus, slowly his expression turned from happy into confused … then shocked and was trying to find me … only I was at a safe distance looking at the scene and waiting for the expected eruption of 'the beast' soon to be … erupting.
'The Beast' came out of his bus and walked straight at me. I pointed at the Juniors with my thumb and blamed them for the problem of overcrowding his new and shiny bus. Before the juniors could react and recover from the shock, I was already moving quickly into the bus to tackle the next problem. That's called strategical thinking. I don't remember who advised something like that, but what I do remember was the advise "… never admit you're wrong, always blame the one next to you …". It never works with my wife though.
So in the bus, I started to bring the problem in front of our group. They came up right before they left to Israel with an additional 20 people for the group without telling us and we have only reservations for 30 people and the hotel is booked full. There will be no chance in hell that we would find another hotel for 50 people within a couple of hours, then maybe a beach … but no beach in Jerusalem. And not to forget the damage for the hotel if we cancel at the last moment, the money would not be returned and the tour would be more expensive for all of us.
So the group decided that they would room together for this night. Not that they cared, because it was a rowdy group, who would be visiting a pop-concert that night after dinner in the old city and I saw already several girls checking out several gents. I felt my blood pressure going up when I also saw the expression of several of the people of this group who were already grinning mischievously.
During our talk, my disgruntled Juniors were already in the bus and my driver in his place. When he started the motor, I could hear how upset he was. The bus is exactly for 53 people and we always have a golden rule to have a larger bus then we there are people in the group. Well, technically we still have (three reserve places), but it was not ideal. They will suffer during the tour.
While we were on our way to Jerusalem, I got a phone call with a swearing Pipe (the guide my age checking out hotels) and he said he moved the reservations to another hotel the days after for 52 people and claimed that I could sleep outside and hung up. Funny boy. Oof. Two things down. Now a bigger bus and that would be even perfect. So instead of chatting with 'the Beast' myself, I sent him a SMS. Much more manly, not? I could have sent the Juniors, but they were angry at me for some reason.
All went well during our trip to our hotel in Jerusalem. We only had four bathroom stops, so nothing more then normal in such situation (never happened like that, but who cares at that point). We arrived at last at the American Colony Hotel.
We all got out of our bus and we moved into our hotel, with a smiling hotel manager who was looking at us happily and welcomed us in Israel with open arms. That continued – smiling and all – until he realized that there were not 30 of us, but the whole "g&^^%^$^%$%#$%d" US army! Suddenly he was not smiling anymore and I saw him already looking for me. The cowards of a Juniors ran already in the hotel, so I was forced to confront the manager myself.
After calming the manager down (and pay a fortune to do that), he clearly didn't care anymore to welcome us to his hotel, he disappeared posthaste. After everyone was checked in, and disappeared into the hotel, I could sit in one of those easy sofas at last.
That evening I discovered that I forgot to check myself in. "Well, sorry, no place!" But I arranged a bigger bus (the bus was called Fat Bertha, like that super gun), the Beast was happy again. The Juniors were alright after they found out I slept on the sofa. What else? Oh yes. One woman hurt her foot during wild dancing (is the Polkas a dance?), another one discovered that she's pregnant, one man thought he lost his way and was in the wrong hotel, while he was wandering around at the back of our hotel and we experienced yesterday evening an example what Israeli rock sounded.
The concert hall was a cafe and the rock turned out to be House Music, but that was really great and everyone danced and had fun. They didn't want to go back to the hotel at the end, but the bouncers almost kicked us out. We took Fat Bertha and went back to our hotel, still singing and dancing.
I had pain in my head and my back was hurting because of sleeping on the sofa. The Juniors had fun and were in a good mood, the Beast was still polishing Fat Bertha and our group was in a super good mood after a great breakfast (I ate chips). At the end we moved into Fat Bertha and drove to the Jerusalem markets and shopping streets. Why? We rented off a restaurant for the day, where everyone could demonstrate that they wanted to cook and we suppose to eat what the volunteers would prepare for us. The Chef of the restaurant refused to allow us 'barbarians' in his kitchen alone, so he would stand guard (in the middle of his kitchen).
I skip a couple days of the tour and move to the 5th day, the day that we go to Be'er Sheba. But one more remark about the cooking in the restaurant. It was so much fun and we ate so well that evening after loads of shopping (we went back three times to the market and it was a fortune what they bought). The group didn't burn down his kitchen nor the restaurant! And the cook hid the large knifes for some reason.
We arrived at our usual hotel in Be'er Sheba. Be'er Sheba is a very nice place, but the choice in hotels is limited and they can't be compared with the hotels in Eilat, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. But this Be'er Sheba hotel would do. And who was there waiting for us while we were checking in the hotel? Right, the same worried looking manager from last August, who was confronted with the fact that there were two small goats running rampage in his hotel in the middle of the night in August and one totally destroyed (or better eaten) room.
The manager didn't look pleased. He asked me though if we plan to go to the goat market today. Of course we would go to the goat market and not to forget the chicken market too. And this time I arranged also a small tour on camels and we would maybe see a small auction of buying and selling camels (and we have also chicken speed running organized). I told him that, and he really didn't look pleased. I guaranteed him that we this time inspect everyone coming in and out of the bus for hidden goats, chickens and camels. The only thing he said was that he would do the same when we would come back to the hotel.
I was happy at that time, because we would only stay one night at his hotel, before we would spent two days in the desert with carts and camels. I really didn't look forward to meet Fred the Camel again, so I could avoid having a camel tour in Eilat.
We indeed went to the markets in Be'er Sheba (the normal one, and the goat and chicken markets). Nothing exciting happened, except that our group was very hard to keep together (50 rowdy people in a very good mood with loads of energy) with three guides (the Juniors and I). We didn't pickup any other group, they didn't buy any goats or chickens, nobody got upset, but there were some people who bought some strange Bedouin dresses for women for some reason. We also tried the camels. That was so much fun that others have problems climbing on camels like I usual have. But no auction of camels, otherwise I could change my Juniors for a camel or three goats maybe, damn that manager.
We met those same Bedouin men who were asking about my 10 women and again explained to the group that I've a harem and 20 children, but I got my coffee. That reminded me about ordering the evening amusement and this time we had real Bedouin musicians not such phony flop of a so called d^&&*^*%&^$%^ magician and his sexy belly dancer like back in August during the goat disaster. The Juniors were giggling! I was highly suspicious seeing that, but at that moment my attention was drawn to my camel, who was trying to bite me. All camels in the world only try to bite me and nobody else.
In the evening back to the hotel, we met the manager, who was indeed inspecting everyone (I forgot to check anyone for hidden goats, chickens and camels), but he obviously not. After that, he insisted in inspecting Fat Bertha and when The Beast finally understood what the manager wanted, they together almost tore the bus apart for their ridiculous quest for goats, chickens and camels! Honestly, who do they think we are?
That evening there was no original Bedouin music, but that belly dancer and her bl**dy so called magician who was loudly calling me "The Sheik" again. I will get my revenge on my Juniors for that!
But thank goodness, I slept wonderful (even when the Beast was snoring loudly), no goats on the rampage, but I heard in the morning that the manager couldn't sleep all night.
The next day we visited the Ramon Crater and met our Bedouins. Guess who? My old Bedouin man and his many children and camels and … Fred the Camel. Fred the Camel was the camel only for me, according the Bedouin. Damn him and his camel. The same for the Juniors. I will cook them and feed them to Fred the camel. Never met something so smelly and with such awful sounds he makes when he sees me. Always in a bad mood too. And he bites. And tries to throw me off when I finally manage to climb on his back.
We moved to the desert with the group on the back of the camels. I knew that the Bedouin with his many children were waiting somewhere with jeeps. They suppose to pick us up tomorrow evening for a big party with the Bedouins. That evening we finally could sleep at 3 am, after I translated again the campfire stories of the old Bedouin. Instead of his usual horror theme, he was telling about the old caravans of ancient times, who were stranded in the middle of the desert and were forced to eat their own camels … and scorpions and other insects to survive.
I changed the story and translation somewhat (the man speaks only Arabic) and told the group that camel meat tasted just like what we all ate that evening (we ate lamb). The woman who discovered (at the beginning of the tour) that she was pregnant started to puke and the Bedouin who didn't understand English was looking at me and pointed threatening at Fred the camel and shook slowly his head, frowning and all that jazz.
So he was telling another story about the young Bedouin woman, who fell in love with a boy her age from another tribe, while her father promised her to someone else (three times her age). He translated dutifully, but every time I wanted to make his story sound more … juicy (?), the old Bedouin man (who didn't understand English?) was pausing and frowning at me. No fun like that.
Under the stars of the desert, it would quiet anyone, so impressive it was. The old Bedouin suddenly had deep knowledge of the stars and demonstrated it. He was trying to explain to us how you could navigate in the desert and with only the stars.
The next morning was a disaster. Fred the camel managed to bite me straight in my behind and couldn't sit very well any more after that. According Junior, Fred's teeth were visible for days after that. It seems to be funny for the group though.
When we finally arrived at our hotel in Eilat, I could find relieve there. For whatever reason, the group tipped the Bedouin man extra! Not fair. They can't handle some teasing? Especially when everyone was calling me Sheik.
I skip the tour here to the tenth day and we are in Jericho. Until then we survived, we didn't pick additional guests up in our group, we didn't loose anyone, neither additional goats or any other animals, my behind was alright again and could sit (tenderly). We still were using Fat Bertha the bus and the Beast our driver was still happy. I couldn't exchange my juniors for camels or goats, so they were still there, looking wearily at me when I could prank them back.
But now we arrived in Jericho and that's a special place in Israel. Not only it's the oldest place you can find anywhere in Israel and surroundings, but also very mysterious. There were so many cultures and civilizations arriving and disappearing in Jericho over the many thousands of years, nobody really could even count them. There are hundreds of layers of different buildings built once in Jericho and the archeologists are still counting.
The Canaan were a bunch of wild people, who believed in all kind of gods, who are now classified as demons or devils. So everyone was interested in my horror stories and that I did. So they were already in the proper mood for the Mount of Temptation!
Then we came to the Mount of Temptation near Jericho, where everyone was highly impressed about my strange stories. They wanted to see proof and so we did. We didn't take the cable cars but walked and climbed the mountain.
Half way some people were murmuring something bad of course, until we reached the promised caves and showed them the scratches the devil once had made thousands of years ago, when Jesus was tempted by the same devil to make bread from stone. I showed them the caves of the hermits of old, who dedicated their lives to live there and to pray, never talked to anyone else anymore for more then 40 years.
Or the Hermit who became mad after seven years in a narrow cave and who received food from people from Jericho. He became too fat to exit his cave and he died there. His spirit still haunts the cave, some believe.
When we finally arrived at the Monastery, everyone was looking a bit sketchy, especially my two Juniors. The Monastery is amazing where you can see the personal cells of the Monks still working there. It's still not too late to allow the Juniors to dump them there for some month or so, I was joking of course, but one Junior thought I meant it. Ha!
At day 12 we said good bye to everyone. All went well after the disasters at the beginning when suddenly our group grew from 30 till 50. Nobody bought or smuggled any goat or camel, nobody destroyed or ate a room, I got finally my revenge on my Juniors and I had one happy large group of people who felt bad that they needed to go home.
I still have my hair (mostly), I will not see Fred the camel for at least one week and I'm dead on my feet. Now I go back home to see if my wife is still there.
I also discovered that Eddie ('The Beast') decided to sleep in Fat Bertha his new bus when I finally came home. My wife hid my phone after that, so I could not help him out. I discovered the day after that he changed our old new bus with Fat Bertha and the bus company was not happy.

Author Anthony Peardew has been haunted by a broken promise for forty years. Compelled to collect lost items in the hope of finding their owners his study in Padua, his home. But as he realises his life is drawing to a close, he also knows that he must pass on the task of reuniting the items with the people who lost them. The perfect person is Laura, his assistant and housekeeper, who finds herself the new owner of Padua and its contents. Eager to carry out Anthony's wishes but overwhelmed with the task she is soon aided by Freddy, the gardener and Sunshine, a lonely girl with special gifts. Unbeknownst to her it may be that Anthony has left her the greatest gift anyone could have. And whilst she helps lost things find their lost people, she may just find herself in the process.
There is something slightly magical about this book. It casts its spell over the reader, drawing them into the story, so that you are soon caught up in the tale of Anthony and his lost things. This is a book that keeps calling to you to read if you have to unfortunately break off for any reason.
The story is populated with a wonderful array of characters, with not one out of place. Laura had arrived at Padua years earlier, looking for an escape from the tattered remains of an unhappy marriage. With Anthony and the house she finds peace and a surrogate family. As the story develops so does Laura, becoming less embittered, less selfish and more sure that she has some self worth and is deserving of happiness.
Freddy, the gardener, awakens feelings in Laura that she though were long gone, but also provides friendship and laughter, helping her with her task. Then there is Sunshine, who as her name suggests, brings light and warmth to the lives of her new friend Laura and Freddy. Sunshine is a special girl, with unique gifts and her ability to say, simply, what other people find difficult to vocalise helps Laura in unexpected ways. Laura and Freddy help to counteract the bullies who have marred Sunshine's life and give her purpose.
There is a parallel story running throughout, that of Edie and Bomber, spanning forty years. Edie's story is one of unrequited yet sustaining love, of her deep friendship with Bomber. Throughout her tale there are glimpses to show how her story and Anthony's story merge together, whether that is serendipitously or coincidentally is open to question.
The tale weaves between the two, showing how Anthony and Edie's lives become inextricably linked, through coincidence or cosmic design. It requires some suspension of disbelief but is done in such a charming way that you could almost be left wishing real life was a little more like this book. It is a ghost story, a story of love, and of sadness and of the impact physical things can have on a person's life.
The story shows the history behind some of Anthony's lost things, some happy, many sad, others funny. All snapshots into other people's lives and the significance, or not, of the physical objects gathered through life. They are the muse for Anthony's popular short stories. Perhaps life does imitate art for the author herself is a collector of lost things and inspired her novel and the cover features some of the treasures she has unearthed over the years.
Don't expect a mad dash of a story for this is a gently told tale. Sometimes that is just what is needed, gentle escapism. A lovely story, perfect to curl up with on a long winter evening. I look forward to reading more from Ruth Hogan in the future.

The clinicians and commissioners involved in work to improve stroke services in North Cumbria would like to meet with members of the local community to discuss how the services will be implemented.
Members of the community are invited to a public event which has been set up by the Stroke Association, taking place on Tuesday 17th April from 2pm to 4pm at Botcherby Community Centre in Carlisle.
The work follows on from the decision made following public consultation in March 2017, to develop a Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle for patients in North Cumbria to be seen by a specialist team in a dedicated unit, in line with best practice.
At the event, Dr Paul Davies, Consultant Stroke Physician at North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust, will discuss the decision to develop the Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit, and what the service will deliver.
This will include updates on the proposed stroke pathway, the planned workforce of the Unit, and what progress has been made over the past year.
Members of the community will then be able to participate in group discussions about the developments.
The clinicians and commissioners involved in the work are keen to hear what concerns members of the public have, as well as what opportunities they think the changes can bring.
Dr Paul Davies said: 'The event is a great opportunity for people from the local community to come along and find out more about the progress that has been made, as well as the issues faced in implementing the specialist stroke unit.'
'We are keen to hear what concerns people would like us to consider as the new services are implemented. This may include their own personal experiences of using stroke services and what they feel were important factors throughout that.'
The event is open to everyone and begins at 2pm on Tuesday 17 April at Botcherby Community Centre, Victoria Road, Carlisle, CA1 2UE.

MASON, Ohio – The Capital University men's cross country team sent three student-athletes to Friday's #JennaStrong Fall Classic, hosted by Wilmington College. Derek Knabe was the top Crusaders finisher in the field of over 350 competitors.
The #JennaStrong Fall Classic commemorates the memory of Jenna Parlette who collapsing during a race last season and tragically passed away three days later. Her passing stemmed from an epileptic episode resulting from a preexisting condition of Juvenile Myonclonic Epilepsy. She was a record-setting cross country and track & field runner and an honor roll student.
Knabe, a freshman from Cincinnati, Ohio, served as the first Capital harrier to cross the finish line, doing so in 28:12.60. He finished in 140th place overall and posted an average time of 5:40.5 per mile. It is the fourth time he has been the top finisher for the team out of five events.
Aaron Fox and Bailey McBeth were the other two Capital competitors in Friday's event. Fox finished the 8,000-meter course in 30:47.99, good for 280th place while McBeth crossed the line in 31:12.16. He posted a 291th-place finish.
Brian Baum of Ashland University took top honors, completing the course in 24:52.38. Ashland featured the top three individual placers and one more finishing inside the top-10. They took the team title by a wide margin, finishing with 21 points with second-place Miami University (OH), who finished with 95.
Capital's next event will be the Ohio Athletic Conference Championship, which will be hosted by John Carroll University. It will be held at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills, Ohio on Nov. 1.

Welcome to the Before and After
School Community (BASC) Program
St. Laurence Catholic School has a Before and After School Care Program (BASC) for students enrolled at our school, which is open Monday-Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
BASC includes a 45-minute study hall where our children will have an opportunity to complete their homework and establish good study habits. Our BASC Program offers fun activities, so our children will have a feeling of a "home-away-from-home." Following study hall, our after-school activities include computer time, athletics, crafts, games, supervised play and relaxation. In accordance with our "healthy lifestyle" curriculum, we provide our children with healthy snacks.
All students need to be picked up from our BASC rooms no later than 6:30 p.m. A separate registration fee and monthly care rates are assessed to families using this program.
On days when school dismisses early, our BASC Program may either close as well or may operate with shortened hours. Students who attend BASC need to be registered and scheduled use pre-arranged.

Don't stop the presses quite yet, but John Catoe has started talking the talk about safety. This is the first time since the June 22 crash that the General Manager has outlined some substantial plans for improving safety within the agency. I've documented time and again how Metro's management has routinely ignored safety problems, and how John Catoe has consistently passed the buck.
In remarks to the Board of Directors, Catoe's tone has changed a bit. These comments follow a recent shake-up in management. Catoe's entire statement is available on the WMATA web site, and I wanted to take a minute to discuss what all of this means.
I think the big thing to remember when discussing safety at Metro is the difference between resource problems and management problems. Metro certainly has resource and funding issues. This cannot be ignored. Metro is constantly facing budget problems, which have made certain safety improvements difficult. The failure to quickly phase-out the Series 1000 railcars can be attributed to funding problems--the money hasn't been there to procure replacement rolling stock, so Metro had little choice but to keep the older cars in service.
However, many of the safety lapses that have been documented over the years had little to do with funding. There has been significant turnover in the agency's safety department, and the organizational chart has been redrawn several times, making institutional memory difficult to instill and maintain. From studying the previous incidents on Metro, it appears as though safety had not always been the number one priority. For those tasked to make safety a number one priority, the proper access to management and resources was not always provided. This resulted in a work culture that did not respond well to lapses in safety, and did not quickly or appropriately respond to safety concerns.
Given that John Catoe is the general manager, and all of Metro management reports to the GM, it has long been my belief that the buck needs to stop at the top. For months after the deadly 6/22 crash, we kept hearing the Metro was very safe and all that could be done was being done. That tune has changed. In the wake of the Senate hearings, Catoe is finally admitting there is much work to be done. In typical political fashion, he is declaring war on safety problems. He is vowing to work with all safety agencies, including safety researchers, to build up the proper culture of safety.
These are the words we have been waiting to hear. These are the statements that should have been made immediately following the June 22 crash. In fact, these are the statements that should have been made a decade ago by previous Metro General Managers. The fact that it has taken six months and Congressional hearings to get to this point is disappointing. And at this point, it's still just words.
Catoe says this isn't just lip service this time. I'd like to believe him, I really would. In order to be taken seriously, however, Metro will need to accompany these words with actions, and more importantly with improved transparency. Metro has lost the faith of not only lawmakers but customers. It's not enough to say you are going to work to improve safety. It's necessary to tell us exactly how, and to keep us updated on what progress you are making.
Instilling a culture of safety isn't an easy task. It will take a lot of hard work, and it will involve making some painful changes. The day-to-day operations at Metro are currently problematic. Employees from the front-line up to the General Manager are going to have to establish new habits, and learn new priorities. It's not impossible, though.
Improved cooperation with oversight agencies are important, and the anticipated $300 million in capital funds can go along way to relieve the budgetary stresses on safety. The hardest part, however, will be the management changes. Metro needs to recognize that they are a highly complex organization tasked with maintaining a delicate balance between service levels and safety. Metro managers need to understand that in a system such as Metrorail, safety is a very complex topic. Small failures in the system can be amplified and cascade into other areas very quickly. Tragic accidents in systems such as Metrorail rarely have one simple cause. They are almost always a chain of events, often starting with something that is easy to overlook.
If John Catoe can successfully overhaul safety within Metro, both in rail and in bus, then he will have an outstanding legacy as a transit chief. He will always have the burden of having been in charge during the agency's worst accident... but only he can ensure that everything possible can be done to prevent another crash. Again, it is disappointing it has taken this long to hear some real talk about safety, but this is an overwhelmingly positive development.
Catoe starts talking real about safety

Safety at metro is only a word. I think that if they say it enough it will happen. Not so. I think Catoe just keeps saying "its only a dream". Safety has to be communicated and discussed. This does not happen at metro. As far as the older cars, they are great, just don't wreck them. Oh yea, I am a metro employee.ReplyDelete

Katie Freiling says that one of the myths of personal development is that we need to find what needs to be fixed or improved about ourselves.
"Personal growth is not about finding areas in your life where you suck, or need help, or focusing on your perceived weaknesses. Personal growth is really the journey of self discovery."
[Read more of her comments below.]
'There are still quite a few "myths" out there about what personal development is really all about…
'And it's definitely time to let go of the old, false misconceptions and beliefs about what we think personal growth can "do" for us, and embrace the TRUTH about what it means to be on this very special and sacred journey of self discovery.
'It's a journey that never ends, but fulfills the deepest longing we have as human beings to really KNOW who we are at our core.
'And when we understand more about who we really are, we stop creating and perpetuating stories of struggle… and we can let life flow through us in incredibly magical ways!'

After a 12-point loss to Orlando on February 20, Coach Brown let his guys have it, "saying the point guards were selfish and Emeka Okafor sets ineffective screens."
The next day at practice, Coach Hanners came prepared to do some "maintenance.''
That's Hanners' term for smoothing it over when Brown has maybe overshot the runway in his critiques of the players. To Hanners' surprise, the day after was a great practice: No complaining, just great focus.
Bonnell commented to Coach Hanners that he "wasn't surprised because for whatever else was wrong in the past, this team had great character."
Bonnell contends that "[former CHA coach and EVP] Bernie Bickerstaff demanded it, right up to waiving Kareem Rush when he wouldn't get in line. Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton are true leaders, and they both understand they need more coaching, not less. Brown's relentless insistence on precision can wear a team out, but that hasn't happened."
As they talked, Bonnell writes that Coach Hanners "offered a telling analogy."
Hanners said Brown's coaching is like the guy determined to perfectly paint a fence. When he's done, you'll never find an unpainted spot on that fence, but he might apply two or three more coats than is necessary to do the job.
[By the way, since February 20, the Bobcats are 6-2.]

I was having a great conversation with a client today about getting residual traffic on your website, and techniques that can be used. I would like to share a few ideas and my thoughts on how to go about this.
First of all you have to ask yourself; "Does my site offer any reason for people to come back and visit often?" If you have a normal ecom (shopping cart) site it may be difficult to say yes. So what can be done? I could start a blog talking about topics related to my industry ... ie: product reviews, frequently asked questions, case studies, testimonial, and I could get others to share experiences they have had with mattresses both good and bad. That kind of feedback alone could get visitors to my site more then once and could help them make a decision to buy from me. I have found that browsers usually take about 5-7 times coming back to the site (according to my stats) before they are willing to sign up or purchase.
Not all topics are as hard to bring people back as mattress so what else can be done? Here is a few ideas:
- newsletters
- blogs
- articles
- picture of the day
- polls
- updated news
- stock ticker
- news Feeds
People need to be motivated to keep coming back and these are a few ways that can be accomplished.
An idea I had for Rocky Mountain Mattress was to create a contest called: "who has the ugliest bed?" and have people send in pictures, and post them on the website and then chose a winner at the end, and give them a free mattress topper or something like that. Be creative, and figure something out for that residual traffic which could mean residual income!
I would love to hear from anyone else other techniques that have been used, and have created residual traffic!

When I was thumbing through this cookbook, this salad caught my eye. I love black-eyed peas and let's see what else, well I guess I just love those peas! Now I did take a bit of liberty with the recipe, but that will happen in any kitchen when we cook with what we have, especially in the winter months. While this salad would be visually stunning made with heirloom tomatoes, it is beautiful and delicious, exactly the way I made it.
|Black-Eyed Pea and Tomato Salad
Black-Eyed Pea and Tomato Salad

2 T brine from quick pickled red onion see note below
1 t red wine vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
salt and pepper
fresh minced parsley
Note: you may substitute 1/4 c chopped red onion and 1 T red wine vinegar for the quick pickled onions and pickling brine.
Combine the peas with the onion, brine, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat.
Place tomatoes at bottom of a small serving dish, add peas and the dressing mixture.
when ready, toss gently and serve.

BTW, who runs oneliners as root? (i'd consider that a bug)
It's not just one-liners, and it's not just root. Any script that doesn't untaint ARGV is vulnerable. Partly, that vulnerability is incidental, given that once someone has broken into an account it is a lot easier for them to do damage directly, rather than wasting time attacking some Perl script.
Very few Perl books talk about ARGV being a vulnerability. Or if they do, it's in passing in one part of the book, with examples in other parts ignoring the hazard.

Many of the child birthday games on this page have been graciously submitted by visitors like yourself. If you've got any cool ideas to add just scroll to the bottom of the page and share them with us, Thanks!
The Snoop
Hide about 40 cardboard bones at "dog height", and have the kid puppies hunt on hands and knees for them.
Blues Birdy Treats
Simple game of Blues Clues for a 4 yr old or younger. I cut out 3 blues clues paws and laminated them (for larger than life effect, especially at this age). I stuck one on a basket of pine cones, one on a jar of peanut butter and one on a bucket of bird seed. Most of my little party attenders can't read yet, so it was just a matter of having them find the 3 clues and then figure out what we were going to make. Simple, yet still a game of Blue's Clues for the littler ones.
Doggy Drink Race
What you'll need for this Blue Clues game are two or three doggy dishes. Put Jell-O or any kind of drink in these doggy dishes and have the kids kneel beside the dishes with their hands behind their backs and see who finishes first the doggy drink. This is always hilarious!
Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper Bean Bag Toss
To make your own Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper bean bags take two pieces of white felt, hot glue two edges, fill with uncooked rice and hot glue the other two edges. Do the same with black felt and put faces on them. Then take a red plastic pail and yellow shovel and add details so that they look like Shovel and Pail. The object of the game is to use Shovel to toss Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper into Pail (try all kinds of distances).
Barking Contest
A really cool party game idea is to host your very own barking contest where everyone is a winner. Each kid gets to give their best bark, and then you can award prizes for loudest, saddest, most real, squeakiest, funniest, etc.
Shovel And Pail Relay
For this cool party game, get two sets of sand buckets and shovels and draw Shovel and Pail faces on each of them. Then form two teams and have a relay race where the kids have to pick up a small block with Shovel and then run to the other side of the room to dump it into the pail. The first team to put all their blocks into Pail is the winner.
Blue's Bubble Doodles
This Blue Clues game needs to be played outside. You'll need blue food coloring, white paper, and bubbles (you can make your own bubble mixture by mixing ½ a cup of dishwashing liquid, 2 tablespoons of glycerin – found at drug stores, and 5 cups of water. STIR, do not shake). Add the blue food coloring to the bubble mixture and give each kid a sheet of white drawing paper. Have one or more adults blow bubbles and tell each kid to try and catch the bubbles on their sheet of paper. As the bubbles pop they make a design on the paper. See who can come closest to making a paw print.
Blues Clues Mystery Balloons
Hide all kinds of party favors everywhere around the party area. Then write clues on little notebook papers or a printed paw (each clue leading to a different party favor). Roll these papers up and slip them inside balloons that'll you'll blow up and hang as decorations. Then, when the game is about to start, tell the kids to choose a balloon, pop it and use the clue to find the missing party favor.
Let's Find Blue's Clues
Before the party, think of several clues that'll be easy for your age group. Write each clue on an index card or a piece of notebook paper, and add a blue paw print to each. Here is an idea for a clue: "I'm cold on the inside, and I run all day and all night long." When the kids figure out that the answer to the clue is a refrigerator (you can try giving them more hints if they don't figure it out), have everyone look inside the refrigerator for the next clue. Hide the remaining clues all around the house, party area or yard (you can have the last clue lead to the birthday cake for a tasty surprise!). This is always a fun-filled child party idea!
