At a meeting a few weeks ago Immigration Minister, Phil Woolas, said that he had a draft 400 word statement of welcome to new citizens drafted in his Ministerial box for his approval. Raising his eyes to the ceiling, expressing frustration at the particular difficulties of language and political correctness in his brief, the Minister invited people in the room to assist by coming up with a version of the 400 word statement. The following is a collaboration between colleagues at LGiU of very different political and cultural perspectives. The most sensitive section, where we went backwards and forwards, was around how to express an expectation that new citizens would seek to integrate into British society, whilst also sounding welcoming and being positive about our diversity as a nation. We fully expect that this is controversial. This is absolutely not an expression of LGiU policy, it is just a few colleagues having a go at something very difficult and sensitive, at the suggestion of the Minister.
Welcome Statement to new entrants:
Welcome to the United Kingdom. We are delighted you have chosen to settle in our country. Britain is one of the world's oldest democracies. Our Queen, Elizabeth II is the Head of State of Great Britain and the Head of the Commonwealth. Our system of government is a constitutional monarchy. The British people elect our Parliament which forms a government led by the Prime Minister. We have an established Christian church and many other religions are practiced and contribute to the spiritual life of our nation.
Our country has a long tradition of free speech, freedom to worship and right to assemble. We champion these values and ideals around the world by peaceful means and with the involvement of the brave men and women of the armed forces of Britain and the British Commonwealth.
Britain was the first nation to industrialise. We are a member of the G8 with the fifth largest economy in the world. London, our capital city, is one of three centres of global finance. We receive the second largest amount of foreign domestic investment of any nation and have the third highest number of companies in the Fortune 500 list of the world's largest companies.
Our language is the most spoken in the world. We have a great history of scientific invention and discovery, having invented many of the articles of modern life including the computer, television, penicillin, tarmac and the jet engine. Our literary tradition includes such great works as Shakespeare's plays and the King James Bible.
We are proud of our heritage and we want to be proud of you – our new citizen. As a British citizen you will be entitled to equal treatment under the law. You will be given access to the same public services as other British citizens on an equal basis. You will be able to vote in elections, join a political party or seek election yourselves. In return, we expect you to obey the nation's laws, respect our diverse culture and traditions, learn our language, and integrate into our society.
We welcome you to our country and to our island's proud story. Together we can be proud of our tremendous achievements as a country, and strive to live responsibly and respectfully. Together we, and our descendants still to come, can continue to build this great nation.
I like this a lot –and I wonder if it could bring out even more the recognition of the new citizen's worth to the UK (I say this as the product of immigration myself so maybe I'm prejudiced!)
Maybe it could start something like:
'Whatever the reason you have come to the UK, welcome and thank you. Like so many hundreds of thousands before you over many hundreds of years, you have brought your own story to share with us. Every memory and experience you bring with you, as with those who brought their experiences in the past, will help to shape a stronger, broader and more exciting future for all who live here.'
I'm a long-term resident of the UK with indefinite leave to remain. These welcome speeches would be aimed at someone like me.
I like the welcoming, friendly – yet serious- tone.
I've long viewed nationalisation as a serious and lifelong commitment, much like marriage. Like marriage, the getting-to-know you period should take place BEFORE the ceremony, so all that stuff about the history of Britain should be superfluous by that point – so I'd cut out most of paras 1, 3 and 4.
I like the emphasis on rights and fair treatment under the law. But I already expect fair treatment under the law – I have the same rights to due process and trial by jury as a citizen. The only difference is that if I transgress sufficiently, you can kick me out. But I don't have the right to vote and there certainly isn't a legal commitment to me by the UK.
I like the integration stuff. I suppose I'd want to see a greater emphasis on my responsibilities as a citizen – taking part in the life of the community, volunteering and active citizenship. Sure, it's a bit aspirational – (not everyone will do it, certainly not every natural born UK citizen does it, and I already do it) but isn't this the perfect time for setting out those hopes?
BTW – I've attended a citizenship ceremony in the UK, and it was already pretty nice.

A BIRMINGHAM man who liked to drink, smoke and go clubbing became an Islamist fanatic who plotted to kidnap and kill a British Muslim soldier, a court heard.
Parviz Khan has admitted the plan to lure a soldier off the streets of Birmingham with cocaine and film his beheading and has pleaded guilty to the supply of equipment to terrorists.
Yesterday, a Leicester Crown Court jury was told how the 37-year-old from Alum Rock, had not always been religious but had become increasingly fanatical and "anti-West" after trips to Pakistan.
And it heard how he boasted to a friend that he was working for al Qaida.
Zahoor Iqbal,30, is accused of helping Khan to send equipment for terrorist activities on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
He denies the claim, saying he thought his trips to wholesalers with his long-time friend were to buy relief aid for the victims of the Kashmir earthquake in October 2005.
But he told jurors how he had watched his friend become increasingly anti-Western in his views. Asked by Kieran Vaughan, defending, what type of character Khan was in his 20s, Iqbal told jurors that his friend "went out clubbing, drinking, smoking" and was not religious.
But a series of four trips to Pakistan saw Khan transform from a non-practising Muslim into an Islamist fanatic obsessed with anti-western propaganda.
Referring to Khan's behaviour after a visit to Pakistan in 2004, Iqbal said: "The TV had disappeared in his living room. It was odd. I was brought up with TV.
"He became more anti-West, blaming Britain for the Israel-Palestine issue, Kashmir, civilians dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Before the trip, he prayed five times (a day) but to me he just cared for his mum for 24 hours a day.
"He was isolated from his friends but there was nothing untoward to suggest anything because he looked after his mum."
By 2006, after another trip to the sub-continent, Khan's religious views had become more extreme, he told the jury.
Then in a conversation, bugged by police who had Khan under surveillance, Khan told Iqbal that he was working for al Qaida. "I found it very difficult to believe," said Iqbal. All I had seen was what was in his house, which was nothing to suggest that what he was doing was supplying al Qaida.
"I thought he was just talking and because all the media stuff he was listening to was brainwashing him."
Iqbal is also charged with being in possession of a record or document that would be useful to a terrorist, namely a CD called Encyclopaedia Jihad.
Amjad Mahmood (32), of Jackson Road, Alum Rock, is in the dock with Iqbal, accused of failing to alert the authorities to the plot to kidnap and kill a soldier.
They deny the charges. Three other men have admitted charges related to the plot.

Richard will reprise his presentation, Lifetime QTIPs - Why They Should be Ubiquitous in Estate Planning, from the 50th Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning, where he explained that lifetime QTIPs are increasingly the strategy of choice for exclusion use, but these versatile trusts also facilitate minority interest valuation savings, asset protection, gift tax valuation protection, sales to defective "grantor" trusts, and more. He will provide creative ideas for specific uses of lifetime QTIPs and practical implementation guidance. Richard will also explore the asset protection uses of Lifetime QTIPs and post-divorce income tax implications that must be considered when establishing a lifetime QTIP.

So, to review my previous posts, my first and second attempt at writing a novel involved basically two poorly backed up fan fictions for Chrono Trigger and Star Wars respectively. Both ended when my current versions of the novel disappeared, leaving me woeful, discouraged and generally unable to force myself to continue.
Now we will fast forward a few years to high school. I had, alongside my futile attempts at writing, developed a series of progressively-better role playing games which occupied my idle time and that of my friends. The most modern version of that hobby, known as the Game to the one or two people who still read this blog, was one that eventually drew me back to the writing habit.
You see, part of the interesting thing about GMing a game is the opportunity to help your players tell a story. It trains you in how to keep a reader hooked on a plot; players and readers both enjoy twists and mysteries enough that the skills crossed over easily, for me at the very least. The background of the Game gave me a ready made world to work with, along with the worldbuilding skills I had developed in making the Game itself. All I really needed was to put pen to paper, so to speak. So I did.
For all of those groaning in despair at the thought of a book written about a role playing game character, consider your feelings entirely justified. The characters in the story, which went from the name Star Heir to Guardians of the Past eventually, were by all accounts horribly uninteresting. The world, while complex and mildly interesting, was way too overdone, and while the plot contained some interesting twists, I drew the whole thing out way too long for the horrible reason of "because that's the way it happened in the game." Combine that with the fact that it stretched, over the course of a year, to about 300 single spaced Times New Roman pages in Microsoft Word (I estimate it was something like 150k to 250k at least) and we have a recipe made for disaster.
Nevertheless, I would draw your attention to the fact that this was a book that I actually finished. I did not lose this sucker; I had at least one or two backups of the story at all times. I introduced characters, outlined scenes, used dialog and detail. For all intents and purposes, this was like a journeyman's project where I refined my writing style and learned how to make a book work.
Even better, I stayed at it! Once I was finished I came back and rewrote it. And rewrote it. And rewrote it. I would tell you how many times I went through this monster, but I lost track around version seven or so. I think I started working on it, and it was pretty much the only book I worked on until my senior year of college. While I'm sure many would consider that time wasted on just one story, I have to remind you that this was like a learning novel for me. It was this story that brought me to my first writing group in Quark, that introduced me to things like Tolkien, Jordan and Sanderson, not just as cool writers (which they were and are) but as people I could learn from and emulate. When I was on my mission, this was the book that I wrote the outlines for sequels to, keeping some small edge sharpened on my writing skills during preparation days whenever I had a rare, quiet moment. For all intents and purposes, this story was the beginning of my love of writing.
And I still have it. The whole thing still sits on my hard drive and jump drives at this very moment. While I currently have no plans on what to do with it, I don't think I will ever get rid of it. It's kind of like an old friend; you may not talk as much as you used to, but it is nice to know they are still there. That, and there's still some part of me that suspects I may do something with it someday, even if it means reshaping it into something a bit more trimmed.
In any case, here's to old stories and the growth they give us. May we never forget them. See you around!

Those of you who first saw my blog might have noticed that I've refined the layout somewhat. I think it fits my style and for those who need the tip, be sure to take a look at the gadgets on the right that tuck away neatly. I thought I created the capability to follow by email but I'm not sure if I got that right. And yes, the bullets of my last blog post are ugly. I've recently read that learning and growing is a key ingredient to happiness so bring on the learning!
I'm also curious to know what readers think of AdSense. I'm not a big fan of ads, and their assault on the senses – especially anything that throbs. Earning money while writing sounds quite appealing to me though.
I struggle to achieve things without a goal. If I can't run an ultra-marathon this year, I'll have to find goals associated with getting better or learning. So I've decided to follow three blogs as my first goal and hopefully I'll pick up some tips.
Over a year ago I started an electronic journal that I called a 'God blog' due to my fear of public humiliation. In writing, identifying the target audience is one of the first important things to decide as it shapes the style substantially. She already knows me and wouldn't judge me too harshly so that's what I called it. It is lonely being a business owner as you have no-one to talk to about your challenges. You can't talk to your staff about your worries of being able to pay salaries or whether you're leading this thing in the right direction. You need to appear confident and calm in knowing what you're doing. So writing was my outlet and my tool in crystallising my thinking about the future of the business. I continue to use it in the path to my new career trusting that the same enlightenment is on its way.
So I think my journey will go something like this: acceptance then understanding, then healing and finally action. Since my diagnosis three weeks ago, I have most certainly accepted that my life needs to change. I think I'm still trying to understand why, although I'm most of the way through that phase. The next phase of healing will most likely be quite long as I let my body recover from years of going against the flow and suppressing my fatigue. That may take a good few months but I can say that I'm already starting to feel better.
I'm not known for my patience and I do find it very irritating that I can only have one outing a day. More than that and I find I'm pretty tired by the evening. Through regularly testing my patience, I think my children have helped me become more patient. Watching a toddler ram a round peg into a square hole (literally) over and over can be most frustrating. I think I've told them hundreds of times that you don't need to tip a cup with a straw. I've learned to accept and even marvel at the pure volume of what human beings have to learn. My six-year-old asked me the other day 'What is a test?' and my first reaction was 'Oh boy, does she have a long way to go.' But seeing how excited she is to learn to read without being overwhelmed by how far she has to go, is inspiring to me. She tackles learning with the same gusto as she does playing.
Our society really seems to value being busy. When people ask about my well-being I'm not sure I want my response to always be 'Oh I'm so busy I can barely cope'. Since I've taken a step back from the hamster wheel, I've started to notice the small things around me. Since my condition makes me overheat a lot, the rain is absolutely glorious! I'm a lot less abrupt with my kids now too and I'm taking the time to tickle them; to give them frights and really listen to what they're saying. I want a life that contains living on purpose, stopping to enjoy each important moment; and filled with activities that are fulfilling (not just time-consuming).
I've secured myself a four month sabbatical from the business. I'm a very determined person and when I focus on something I can get it right. So now my major commitment is to get kids to school and to recover. Resting on purpose is very weird to me but perhaps it's one of the lessons I have to learn.
Adequate recovery will mean that I'll be ready to take action when the time comes. The action will be to ensure that my job is fulfilling, I have enough space to recover from all the things that drain my reserves during the day and I will have time to be a good parent too. As much as I have a need to achieve professionally, I'd rather be remembered for being a good parent because the impact is far more meaningful.
So I'm learning the ropes with blogging, but also with how far I can push myself currently. I am trying to really listen to my body to make sure I'm picking up early cues. It's not forever but it is an important part of the process to ensure the future is designed right.

Book summary
Doctor Who Screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch's superbly entertaining supernatural crime series has, with its witty one-liners and wonderfully erudite take on London, won a legion of fans in double quick time. Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it's just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho.
Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist.
A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead.
It wasn't his fault, but still. Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met's Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka 'The Folly'. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain's Last Wizard.

When comparing Andale Mono vs Code New Roman, the Slant community recommends Andale Mono for most people. In the question"What are the best programming fonts?" Andale Mono is ranked 18th while Code New Roman is ranked 40th. The most important reason people chose Andale Mono is:
It's easy to distinguish "0" from "O", "a" from "o", and "I" from "l" from "1".
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Excellent legibility
It's easy to distinguish "0" from "O", "a" from "o", and "I" from "l" from "1".
Pro Good font variants
Boldface variant is not too heavy while italic face is not too spindly. Andale Mono contrasts with Source Code Pro, which is very similar in the regular font face.
Pro Completely free
Code New Roman is published under SIL Open Font License making it completely free.
Pro Looks clean and beautiful
Code New Roman seems like a mix of Monaco and Consolas, but looks very well on retina monitors.
Pro Comfortable to read
It's comfortable for the user to read Code New Roman for long periods. OpenType features include hanging or lining numerals (slashed, dotted, and normal zeros) as well as alternative shapes for a number of lowercase letters.
Pro Three different typefaces
Code New Roman offers Regular, Bold , Italic, and Bold-Italic typefaces.
Pro Available for Windows and OS X
You can download and install it on Windows vista or higher (for cleartype technology support) and Mac OSX.
Pro Looks great on Ubuntu 14.04
Code New Roman has been tested on cheap Dell Inspiron with Ubuntu 14.04 installed and looks great on gtk-based apps such as Sublime Text, Geany, and TextAdept. It's also great on Qt-based apps such as KDevelop and Spyder. For electron/nwjs-based applications, it looks great on Visual Studio Code and Brackets, but has yet been tested on atom. However, it looks horrible on Swing-based apps such as Netbeans or Jetbrains' IDE.
Pro Multilingual
Code New Roman is available in English and Sinhala.
Pro Highly anti-aliased
This means that jaggies are reduced, making the line smoother.
Con Not pure mono
Bold and italic are too wide, so it's not pure mono in combination with regular font.
Too much anti-aliased in Windows.

Christian helps Victoria secure first-innings lead
Tasmania 241 and 3 for 62 (Doran 18*, Doolan 7*) lead Victoria 271 (Christian 95, Handscomb 50, Rainbird 4-66, Fekete 3-43) by 32 runs
Daniel Christian fell just short of a sixth first-class century but ensured Victoria took a first-innings lead over Tasmania on the second day at the MCG. Christian's entertaining 95 and a half-century from Peter Handscomb helped Victoria to 271 before they were bowled out, 30 runs ahead of the Tigers, and by stumps Tasmania were 3 for 62 in their second innings.
Jake Doran was unbeaten on 18 at the close of play with Alex Doolan on 7, and Australia's Test squad members Peter Siddle and James Pattinson had both made breakthroughs. Pattinson had Ben Dunk caught at slip for 4 before Siddle had first-innings centurion Beau Webster caught behind for 13, and the final wicket of the day was Jordan Silk caught for 17 off the bowling of Chris Tremain.
Victoria had started the morning at 0 for 10 but they soon stumbled to 3 for 45 after losing three wickets in the space of two overs to Jackson Bird and Andrew Fekete. Cameron White's return to the Sheffield Shield for the first time this season did not go according to his plan, out for a golden duck when he clipped Fekete to square leg.
But debutant Ian Holland (24) and then Handscomb and Christian steadied the Victoria innings. Handscomb managed 50 before he became one of four wickets for Sam Rainbird, and Christian struck five sixes and ten fours on his way to 95 from 136 balls before he was the last man out, bowled by Fekete having secured Victoria's lead.

Rob Lowe was supported by his friend Gwyneth Paltrow as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old actor – who is married to make-up artist Sheryl Berkoff – was honored with the 2,567th star at a ceremony in Hollywood attended by both Gwyneth and his Grinder co-star Fred Savage, 39.
Gwyneth, 43, said: "I met Rob Lowe when I was 17 years old. I was in Los Angeles and trying to start becoming an actress and Sheryl and Rob took me under their wing. They were always so loving and familial towards me and I knew that I always had a safe place here when I came to Hollywood."
An overwhelmed Rob, who became a Brat Pack heartthrob thanks to roles in The Outsiders, Oxford Blues, St. Elmo's Fire and About Last Night, said: "When I was a little boy I was living in Dayton, Ohio, and I dreamed of one day finding my way to Hollywood to be an actor. And if you would have told me back then that I would be alongside Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Paul Newman, I never ever would have believed it."
He added that he was humbled and grateful for his success in acting, saying: "It's so extraordinary to me that these characters have been embraced for four decades. To those who have enjoyed my work, this star is an emblem of our long journey together. Without your support, none of it would have been a possibility".
Rob was also supported by Sheryl and their two sons, John and Matthew.

- Keelan Cole, Jaguars
- Chad Williams, Cardinals
- Kevin White, Bears
- John Ross, Bengals
- Carlos Henderson, Broncos
- Keke Coutee, Texans
- Chester Rodgers, Colts
- Albert Wilson, Dolphins
- Tyler Lockett, Seahawks
- Trent Taylor, 49ers
Keelan Cole
- Keelan Cole is one of my favorite sleepers heading into this year. Last year he entered his rookie season as an undrafted WR and slowly got work as the season went on because of injuries and he didn't disappoint with his chances and took full advantage of them. Now this year the Jags added a lot of receiving options to their team like Chark, Moncrief and ASJ, but I am not worried one bit about any of those guys.
- Cole had a great rookie season and is only going to improve in his 2nd season. He is going to be more familiar with the offense and will develop a better connection with his QB this year, Chark as athletic as he is just looks like a situational deep threat to me and Moncrief has never been able to put it together and have no faith in him anymore, and with ASJ I see him as more of a redzone target than a huge yardage eating TE. Cole is going to be the guy who emerges from this group and becomes the WR1 again in Jacksonville.
Chad Williams
- Williams last year barley saw the field and didn't get much of a chance to showcase his ability. But he has the physical tools to be a really good NFL WR. Last year Fitz talked about his hands being almost as strong as Boldin's back in the day which is a pretty high complement and add to the fact that he has blazing speed he just needs to get himself onto the field and this year he will get his chance.
- Now I get it they drafted Kirk this year, but Kirk is a slot WR and so is Fitz which leaves the outside WR spot wide open for grabs which is perfect for Williams. He stands at 6'1″ and has the speed to beat people deep on any given play. Williams could easily see himself as the #3 WR option behind Fitz & DJ. But with Williams make sure you keep a close eye on him during camp because he is going to have to show he can be relied upon to be a starter for the Cardinals.
Keke Coutee
- Coutee couldn't have landed in a more perfect situation. In college he was a dominate slot WR and he has the speed to beat people deep and make plays with the ball in his hands. Landing in Houston he can slide right away into the Slot WR position for this team which looks like it could end up being a high powered offence with Watson back.
- Coutee will be playing behind Fuller and Hopkins ideally this season while primary working the slot, but he could end up having a chance at more playing time if Fuller can't stay healthy again which he hasn't been able to do for the first 2 years of his career. Now Coutee doesn't have the fame you want from an NFL player but he should be fine and he could be a really big part of this Houston offense.
Chester Rodgers
- Luck has finally started throwing!!! So now we can finally talk about the potential of someone other than TY Hilton. Rodgers has a chance to establish himself as the #2 WR with the Colts which could be very valuable with Luck back and throwing. Luck is usually good for over 4,000 yards and 25TDs which means there can be more than just TY on the offense for fantasy and my guy here is Rodgers.
- Rodgers hasn't gotten much playing time over the last couple of years and last year was a disaster for all the Colts offensive players. Entering this year Rodgers is already the #2 and from everything that has been reported he looks like he could be in for a big year. He has the clearest path to a huge opportunity out of any of the sleepers on this list and is worth taking a chance on this season.
Trent Taylor
- With Jimmy G in town the 49ers offense looks legit and could provide a lot of fantasy relevant players this year. The guy I am most interested in seeing is Taylor. Last year Taylor had a solid rookie season and showed he can play in the NFL. He has the hands and quickness to be the perfect slot WR for Jimmy G and with the quick release that Jimmy G has expect to see Taylor with a lot of passes his way.
- In College Taylor was an absolute stud and I expect this season for Taylor to be his coming out party. I know that he had off-season back surgery but it doesn't seem to be serious as everyone expects him back for training camp which is the most important off-season activity. Keep an eye out for Taylor in your PPR leagues because my gut is telling me he will make some noise this season.

Arsenal are set to appoint Unai Emery as their new manager after thinking twice over giving Mikel Arteta the job.
The Daily Mail revealed that Emery, 46, was emerging as a late contender for the job - and he is set to be named Arsene Wenger's successor this week.
Emery has held positive talks with the Arsenal hierarchy and overtaken Arteta in the race to land the job.
Arteta met with Arsenal officials last week and those close to the Spaniard believed he was on the verge of getting the role.
But the Gunners have since held discussions with Emery, who is expected to be presented as the club's next manager in the coming days.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis was last night thrashing out the finer details of the deal with Emery's representatives.
Emery was axed from his role as Paris Saint Germain manager at the end of last season, with Thomas Tuchel taking his position in the French capital.
The news was met with shock from players on Monday night, who had fully expected Arteta to be in charge next season.
But news started filter through among the playing staff from around 4pm of Emery's imminent appointment.
Gazidis and director Josh Kroenke had been set on handing the job to a younger coach with fresh ideas.
So the move for Emery comes as something of change of heart; the Spaniard coming with vast experience during his time with Sevilla and PSG.
Arteta was set to sign a three-year deal worth £4 million a year, and it's believed the former Arsenal and Everton player would have accepted the job.
Arsenal insisted on Monday night that they had not got cold feet over offering the job to Arteta, insisting they were fully committed to the process of identifying Wenger's replacement.

2 large fennel bulbs (about 4 lbs total)
3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarsely ground black pepper
1. Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs and remove the tough outer layer. Cut the bulbs in half lengthwise and core. Using a mandolin, shave the fennel crosswise; you'll have about 6 cups. (If you don't have a mandolin, quarter each bulb and use a vegetable peeler to shave them lengthwise.)
2. In a medium bowl, toss the fennel with the lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of slat and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. Add half the almonds and mint and all of the olive oil and toss to combine.
4. Transfer the salad to a platter or divide it among serving plates. Scatter the remaining almonds and mint over the top, finish with a few grinds of pepper, and serve.

I ordered several items from Lowes online. Thirty minutes later I received an e-mail stating that my order was ready for pick up.
I went to the store to pick up. When I arrived they had no idea about the order. I then agreed to let them pull the order while I waited. Thirty minutes later I was told that several of the items on the order were not in stock.
They did not even bother to offer an apology or offer a substitute or a discount. Lowes has the worst online ordering system and the worst customer service ever.
Monetary Loss: $100.
Lowe's SUCKS Just got there weekly add. Sale on Patio sets, Call Lowe's, We don't stock either sets, let me find store that does.
Sorry no stores in your area has inventory, or stocks these sets.
Can you order, Sure we can. I can get table, can't get chairs.
We hardly ever and of the company's weekly add items in stock, they are to cheap and we can't make any money on them.
That was the sales persons comment. I will never go to another lowe's store.
Good luck shopping there
Did you make sure you chose the correct pick up location? Did you call the store before you went to make sure the order was ready? As far as I am concerned the store did an excellent job trying to help with a sale they made no money on.

Dodgers-Giants game delayed long enough for early risers get to catch a few pitches
My computer's clock showed 5:11 a.m. when I began writing this column. That's East Coast time. The Dodgers-Giants game in San Francisco had just ended.
LA lost 8-6; that's 11 in a row for the NL West leader, whose cushion in the division has shrunk to single digits.
GAME CENTER: Dodgers-Giants box score
But enough about the Dodgers' slouch to the playoffs. I wanted to write about why a game took almost seven hours to complete and ended dangerously close to daybreak on the right side of the map.
Reasons? Well, weather, mostly. Thunderstorms in the Bay Area delayed the game's start by 42 minutes, to 7:57 p.m. PT. After the teams played one soggy out, the tarp came out again.

On the field it stayed for almost the next three hours as the stormy skies made playing too risky.
@Dodgers game vs. Giants in SF is delayed by intense thunder and lightning. pic.twitter.com/zxozTKHffu— CBS Los Angeles (@CBSLA) September 12, 2017
At 10:50 p.m. PT (that's almost 2 in the morning three times zones to the east), the skies (and field) were clear enough for baseball to resume. Time of the second delay: 2:52.
The game itself — a fairly meaningless one, unless the Dodgers do the impossible this month and blow their lead — took 3:22 total to play (one minute in the first, plus 3:21 after the second delay).
Reporters who were at the park provided two reasons why the Giants (before first pitch) or the umpires/MLB (after) just didn't call the game:
1. The Dodgers didn't want to make up the game Thursday — a scheduled travel day — and then fly to Washington, D.C., where they're playing a weekend series. MLB rules generally prohibit teams from playing getaway games on days they have to travel west to east and lose three hours.
Larry Baer, the Giants' president, just told Jon Miller that the Dodgers didn't want to play a make-up game Thursday, a travel day.— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2017
2. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday isn't great, either, so a doubleheader on either day would be dicey.
Giants' TV reporter said Baer told her rain's in the forecast tomorrow and Wednesday, making a doubleheader tough to pull off.— Daniel M. Jimenez (@DMJreports) September 12, 2017
Those are reasonable reasons, but the fact the teams only got through one batter before the umps delayed the game kind of makes the Giants look bad for starting the game in the first place.
Marathon weather delays have become commonplace in baseball; clubs are reluctant to hand out rain checks to fans, and they're reluctant to schedule makeup doubleheaders, even separate-admission ones.

Players don't care for twinbills, either, so they're willing to play the waiting game
"[Bochy] came in and said. 'Game starts at 10:50.' I might have gave him two slow blinks but I said, 'Hey, let's go.' We're here so we might as well strap 'em on and try to play a good ballgame," Giants center fielder Denard Span told CSN Bay Area postgame.
Anything to get the day's game in, right? Even if that means the game has to end the next day.

On Friday I had the chance to watch the six minute Dark Knight preview but not the new trailer for the movie. Although the preview was fantastic, I'd also heard that the second (and first full length) trailer for The Dark Knight is great as well.
I didn't post the bootlegged and cruddy looking trailer that's been circulating for a couple of days because not only was it lousy looking, but I don't support people sneaking into movie theaters with camcorders. I've been hearing that the official trailer will premiere at one of the Dark Knight viral sites called "A Taste For The Theatrical."
Well that's all irrelevant because the official trailer is finally online at the site and you can watch it below right now!
Now that you've seen it, what do you think? Are you more excited about the movie? Less? What about Heath Ledger as the Joker?
I'll tell you what I think:
This movie is SO going to rock.... the only possible negative I can see is that Heath Ledger as the Joker is going to utterly and completely overshadow Christian Bale as Batman.
For much larger versions of the trailer you can visit this viral site: ATasteForTheTheatrical.com for The Dark Knight.

St. David's House was originally built in the 1920's with various extensions over the years. The current owners loved the site and character of their home, but the internal spaces were small and awkward, the main entrance entered directly in to the Kitchen and the external massing was piecemeal.
CCD were asked to develop proposals that would provide better reception spaces and unify the building to give it appropriate character for its site and size.
The design included a large extension at the rear, alterations to rationalise the internal spaces, and a new roof which provided additional bedrooms while also providing the house with better massing and presence.
A new entrance enabled the functionality of the house to work with a more appropriate hierarchy of spaces.
The project was carried out in phases to enable the owners to live in the property throughout. The resulting dwelling has kept the best parts of the original 1920's character within an enlarged yet rationalised house.
The spaces flow well with light and airy reception rooms, five bedrooms with associated bathrooms, a self-contained flat and integrated garage. The new roof design and entrance give the house an appropriate presence on the site.

Quentin Massys
FREE Catholic Classes
A painter, born at Louvain in 1466; died at Antwerp in 1530 (bet. 13 July and 16 September), and not in 1529, as his epitaph states (it dates from the seventeenth century). The life of this great artist is all adorned, or obscured, with legends. It is a fact that he was the son of a smith. There is nothing to prove, but it is not impossible that he first followed his father's trade. In any case he was a "bronzier" and medalist. On 29 March, 1528, Erasmus wrote to Boltens that Massys had engraved a medallion of him (Effigiem meam fudit aere). This was perhaps the medal dated 1519, a copy of which is at the Museum of Basle. In 1575 Molanas in his history of Louvain states that Quentin is the author of the standard of the baptismal fonts at St-Pierre, but his account is full of errors. As for the wrought iron dome over the well in the Marché-aux-Gants at Antwerp, which popular tradition attributes to him, the attribution is purely fanciful. Tradition also states that the young smith, in love with a young woman of Antwerp, became a painter for her sake. Indeed this pretty fable explains the poetical character of Massys. All his works are like love songs. Facts tell us only that the young man, an orphan since he was fifteen, was emancipated by his mother 4 April, 1491, and that in the same year he was entered as a painter on the registers of the Guild of Antwerp. He kept a studio which four different pupils entered from 1495 to 1510.
He had six children by a first marriage with Alyt van Tuylt. She died in 1507. Shortly afterwards, in 1508 or 1509, he married Catherine Heyns, who bore him, according to some, ten children, according to others, seven. He seems to have been a respected personage. As has been seen, he had relations with Erasmus, whose portrait he painted in 1517 (the original, or an ancient copy, is at Hampton Court), and with the latter's friend, Petrus Egidius (Peter Gillis), magistrate of Antwerp, whose portrait by Massys is preserved by Lord Radnor at Longford. Dürer went to visit him immediately on his return from his famous journey to the Low Countries in 1519. On 29 July of that year Quentin had purchased a house, for which he had perhaps carved a wooden statue of his patron saint. In 1520 he worked together with 250 other artists on the triumphal arches for the entry of Emperor Charles V. In 1524 on the death of Joachim Patenier he was named guardian of the daughters of the deceased. This is all we learn from documents concerning him. He led a quiet, well-ordered, middle-class, happy life, which scarcely tallies with the legendary figure of the little smith becoming a painter through love.
Nevertheless, in this instance also, the legend is right. For nothing explains better the appearance in the dull prosaic Flemish School of the charming genius of this lover-poet. It cannot be believed, as Molanus asserts, that he was the pupil of Rogier van der Weyden, since Rogier died in 1484, two years before Quentin's birth. But the masters whom he might have encountered at Louvain such as Gonts, or even Dirck, the best among them, distress by a lack of taste and imagination a dryness of ideas and style which is the very opposite of Massys's manner. Add to this that his two earliest known works, in fact the only two which count, the "Life of St. Anne " at Brussels and the Antwerp triptych, the "Deposition from the Cross", date respectively from 1509 and 1511, that is from a period when the master was nearly fifty years old. Up to that age we know nothing concerning him. The "Banker and His Wife" (Louvre) and the "Portrait of a Young Man" (Collection of Mme. André), his only dated works besides his masterpieces, belong to 1513 and 1514 (or 1519). We lack all the elements which would afford us an idea of his formation. He seems like an inexplicable, miraculous flower.
When it is remembered that his great paintings have been almost ruined by restorations, it will be understood that the question of Massys contains insoluble problems. In fact the triptych of St. Anne at Brussels is perhaps the most gracious, tender and sweet of all the painting of the North. And it will always be mysterious, unless the principal theme, which represents the family or the parents of Christ, affords some light. It is the theme, dear to Memling, of "spiritual conversations", of those sweet meetings of heavenly persons, in earthly costumes, in the serenity of a Paradisal court. This subject, whose unity is wholly interior and mystic, Memling, as is known, had brought from Germany, where it had been tirelessly repeated by painters, especially by him who was called because of this, the Master der Heiligen Sippe . Here the musical, immaterial harmony, resulting from a composition which might be called symphonic, was enhanced by a new harmony, which was the feeling of the circulation of the same blood in all the assembled persons. It was the poem arising from the quite Germanic intimacy of the love of family. One is reminded of Suso or of Tauler. The loving, tender genius of Massys would be stirred to grave joy in such a subject. The exquisite history of St. Anne, that poem of maternity, of the holiness of the desire to survive in posterity, has never been expressed in a more penetrating, chaste, disquieting art.
Besides, it was the beginning of the sixteenth century and Italian influences were making themselves felt everywhere. Massys translated them into his brilliant architecture, into the splendour of the turquoise which he imparted to the blue summits of the mountains, to the horizons of his landscapes. A charming luxury mingles with his ideas and disfigures them. It was a unique work, a unique period; that of an ephemeral agreement between the genius of the North and that of the Renaissance, between the world of sentiment and that of beauty. This harmony which was at the foundation of all the desires of the South, from Dürer to Rembrandt and Goethe, was realized in the simple thought of the ancient smith. By force of candour, simplicity, and love he found the secret which others sought in vain. With still greater passion the same qualities are found in the Antwerp "Deposition". The subject is treated, not in the Italian manner, as in the Florentine or Umbrian "Pietas", but with the familiar and tragic sentiment which touches the Northern races. It is one of the "Tombs" compositions, of which the most famous are those of Saint Mihiel and Solesmes. The body of Christ is one of the most exhausted, the most "dead", the most moving that painting has ever created. All is full of tenderness and desolation.
Massys has the genius of tears. He loves to paint tears in large pearls on the eyes, on the red cheeks of his holy women, as in his wonderful "Magdalen" of Berlin or his "Pietà" of Munich. But he had at the same time the keenest sense of grace. His Herodiases, his Salomes (Antwerp triptych) are the most bewitching figures of all the art of his time. And this excitable nervousness made him particularly sensitive to the ridiculous side of things. He had a sense of the grotesque, of caricature, of the droll and the hideous, which is displayed in his figures of old men, of executioners. And this made him a wonderful genre painter. His "Banker" and his "Money Changers" inaugurated in the Flemish School the rich tradition of the painting of manners. He had a pupil in this style, Marinus, many of whose pictures still pass under his name.
Briefly, Massys was the last of the great Flemish artists prior to the Italian invasion. He was the most sensitive, the most nervous, the most poetical, the most comprehensive of all, and in him is discerned the tumultuous strain which was to appear 100 years later in the innumerable works of Rubens.

Q: I want to sock away about $20,000 with virtually no risk of losing principal but with more than a 2% return. CDs are maxing out at less than 2%. Savings accounts are worse. I hear government bonds are good alternatives, but I know nothing about them. Where should I start?
- Norman M.
A: It's going to be difficult to find a low-risk alternative to traditional CDs and savings accounts that pays around 2.00% APY, unless you're willing to doing a little work for it.
Although deposit rates are abysmal, to say the least, there are some attractive offers from time to time. For instance, as of July 30, EverBank is offering a very enticing 5-year CD of 2.06% APY, which is leading the market right now. Given EverBank's history of changing rates rather frequently, this rate is not likely to last long.
As for government bonds, you may want to look into Series I savings bonds, which has a composite interest rate that is partially affected by inflation. The rate on I-bonds changes every six months — the rate increases if the inflation rate increases in the past half year. From May 1, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2013, the composite rate for I-bonds is 1.18%, which is not amazing but there's the potential for higher returns if inflation picks up.
Series I bonds can only be purchased electronically through TreasuryDirect.gov, with a purchase limit of $10,000 per year per individual. I-bonds cannot be redeemed for one year and an early redemption penalty (equal to the last 3 months in interest) applies for redemptions before five years.
Another option to consider is a rewards checking account, which is likely to pay an extremely competitive interest return up to a certain deposit amount, if you meet the preset qualifications. Typically, banks will require direct deposit, opt-in to electronic statements and about 10 debit card purchases per month to earn the rate.
For example, First Financial Bank, a community bank based in Arkansas, offers a rewards checking account with a 3.00% APY on balances up to $15,000 (the portion of the balance in excess of $15,000 earn 0.25% APY). To earn this rate, customers have to make 12 debit card purchase , enroll and log into online banking, and receive electronic statements every month.
Unlike most other savings alternatives, rewards checking accounts are high maintenance and may require a shift in how you manage your finances. Rewards checking accounts are most often found at community banks.

Although it may not seem as destructive as the effects of drugs or alcohol, gambling can impact on many aspects of your life including family and relationships, your finances, your work and even your health
Family and relationships
Problem gamblers spend more time gambling or thinking about gambling and it can become extremely difficult to maintain a normal family life. This creates stress and has a negative impact on relationships and family life
- Families usually have more arguments over money and get hounded by debt collectors.
- Problem gamblers might miss family activities, including meals, birthdays, and other important events.
- "Casino kids" sometimes are left in cars at gambling venues while a parent bets.
- Increased arguments within the family.
- Compulsive gamblers more often provoke reactive violence in their spouses.
- Children of problem gamblers typically have lower grades, higher substance abuse rates, and more
frequent suicide attempts.
- Children of problem gamblers could be more likely to develop gambling problems themselves.
- Problem gamblers are more likely to become separated or divorced.
Financial Risk
Problem gamblers' finances will fluctuate from time to time as they experience periods when they win regularly but also experience high levels of loss. Although a problem gambler may occasionally experience "big wins" they should also expect to see an increase in financial difficulties.
- Increasing debts.
- "Maxed out" credit cards.
- Overdue utility bills might result in cut-offs.
- Borrowing from family and friends.
- Pawning personal and family valuables.
- Passing bad cheques.
- Eviction and forced home sales.
- Bankruptcy.
Problem gamblers are more likely to commit crimes to support their habits. This can include tax evasion, cheque forgery, stealing credit cards, fraudulent loan applications, insurance fraud, theft, embezzlement, fencing stolen goods, unlicensed bookmaking, arson, and even armed robbery.
Health Risks
Most people may not see a connection between their gambling and their health, however problem gambling is associated with a range of emotional, physical, and psychological health problems.
- Self-esteem declines as losses increase.
- Problem gamblers suffer more from stress, anxiety, moodiness, attention deficit hyperactivity, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and manic and clinical depression.
- Some physical problems experienced by problem gamblers include muscular tension, fatigue, stomach ailments, insomnia, colitis, high blood pressure, heart disease, migraines, and skin problems.
- Problem gamblers are more likely to smoke
- Problem gamblers are likely to use alcohol or other drugs to cope with the guilt or desperate situation.
- High proportions of problem gamblers seriously consider or even attempt suicide.
Job Risk
Problem gambling can also have an adverse effect on an individual's ability to perform well at work, college or school
- Problem gamblers often show up late for work.
- Some problem gamblers skip entire work days to gamble.
- They are more likely to take sick leave.
- Problem Gamblers usually experience decreased productivity, as they often daydream about gambling or use the Internet at work to gamble.
- They are more likely to ask employers for pay advances, borrow money from fellow employees, steal from work, and embezzle.
- There is a real risk of losing your job as a result of your gambling behaviour due to high levels of sickness, absenteeism and misuse of company time

1 Person Reviewed This Product
Jul 21, 2016If you've read and enjoyed any of the new Doc Savage books by William Patrick Murray - the author who has help to resurrect the Pulp Adventure in the 21st century, then I highly recommend this book. The author Dafydd Neal Dyar has a great and varied amount of life experiences that he brings to the story. And what a story!! Taking place in the late summer, early fall of 1942, it places precisely at the beginning of one of the darkest times of American political civil rights history - Executive Order 9066 - The Relocation and Internment of all Japanese-American citizens. World War II is fully underway in both the European and Asian theaters. The threat of the "Yellow Peril" both from China and Japan are influencing the lives of every American citizen. Darius Dungannon "Dare" Devlin and his crew are placed in the cross hairs of this threat due to old ties and bonds. While this is in actuality the first in the tales of the "Supreme Adventurer" the story... More > itself sets the scene as one among many tales that have already happened and, have in fact, been published thus foregoing the normal character origin and development. Also, the author has planted his characters firmly in the Newton-Wold Universe with many subliminal and NOT so subliminal references to other great creations. I think you'll enjoy this story...and hopefully, we'll see more in the future. We definitely need to find out about the Hell-Bat< Less

Check out "The Family" a Futa Apocalypse spinoff by Buffmuffin!
Welcome to the Apocalypse.
In the near future, a new virus has decimated the human population, reducing them to sex crazed Futa who's only driving force is the need to infect others with their tainted cum.

Follow Kim and her twin brother Dan. Kim is a strong and decisive woman who isnt scared to make the hard decisions, even as she struggles with the consiquences of those decisions. The one thing she holds to, is the need to look after her brother. Dan, her twin brother is a more timid, prone to acting with his heart instead of his mind. Can they work together to survive? Or will their differences cause them to fracture under pressure?
Walkthrough? Now why would I want to spoil all the twisted little surprises?
The links seem to be broken. You can go to depositfiles, but if you pass the captcha it says file not found.
More updates, more texts, more animations and pictures.
Thats how this game will be perfect.
Can Gatekeeper please update the link to download the game? the 4shared link doesn't work and play now doesn't show most of the images.
or if anybody else has a mirror or something. I would like to play the game but can't find a working link and play now is really not working for me tried all the browsers.
Can you make a mega link, the links you posted are all pretty sketchy and I don't quite trust downloading something off of them. Also, is there something you have to do to get the photos to work in the online mode?
Hope to see some updates!! <3 love your game btw!!~

Lake Lure Inn Wedding / Cherise & Edward
Cherise and Edward traveled to Asheville from Florida to tie the knot in the heat of the summer for their destination wedding. They each made ribbons with personal elements that were tied together in a ceremony officiated by a close friend, and their kids were a big part of the day that focused on loved ones and celebration. Each person in attendance danced down the aisle after they were pronounced husband and wife. Edward's groomsmen had people in tears with his speech about how great of a dad he is, and everyone cheered :)
Congratulations E&C!
