What's in a Name
A rich and colourful history lies behind the two names of Ashleigh and Burwood which can be traced back through several centuries. They originate from Walton-on-Thames in the South of England, and to this day they still dominate local place names there.
The town of Walton-on-Thames is situated right on the banks of the river Thames, a few miles upstream from the centre of London, in the county of Surrey. The name in its present form is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, commissioned after the Normans had defeated the English King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, in order to record and assess the value and ownership of all the land and properties in England. However, the area has been inhabited since the Stone Age (1,000,000 years B.C. to 4000 B.C.).
The actual name 'Walton' is said to mean 'place of the foreigners', From "Ton" meaning town, village or settlement and "Wahl" or "Wallache" meaning foreigner in Saxon. This suggests that there was a settlement here, probably of migrants, from at least Saxon times.
Burwood is the earliest recorded of the two names, appearing in a Saxon cartulary of 962. The name itself means 'wood by the fort' which is a reference to the nearby fort on St. George's Hill which dates back to the Iron Age (around 500 B.C.) and the remains of which are still visible today. In ancient times St. George's Hill was used by pilgrims on their way to Windsor Castle, ten miles away, as a landmark. Today it is a luxury private estate, one of the wealthiest areas in the country.
During the Middle Ages the area was gradually occupied by a number of small holdings, with names such as 'Waterman's Burwood' and 'Aldwyn's Burwood'. Eventually, in 1597, Burwood Park was established as a gentleman's private estate. The original grounds of Burwood Park now make up another exclusive luxury private estate, which is home to many modern day gentlemen and their families.
The earliest recorded reference to the name Ashleigh occurs in the Assize Rolls of 1294, after which the name becomes very frequent in the Walton-on-Thames area. The meaning of the name is Ash wood, referring to the Ash tree rather than ashes, and meadow or clearing from leigh, and so is a place location by description "Ash forest by the meadow". There are various different spellings which have been recorded, such as Ashley, Asheleye, Asshle etc. Many of the local residents began to derive their family names, as was the tradition at the time, from the place where they lived. Hence in the 1332 tax assessments the names of Gilberto, Roberto and Enrico de Asshlye are found.
Between 1602 and 1607 a large house was built at Ashley which was certainly the most important great house near Walton village. The original building records still exist, and show the cost was £3,119 and 795,000 bricks were used. Ashley House stood for 300 years, but in its place today stands the Ashley Park private estate, and the original oak tree lined Grand Drive has become the town's high street.

...............The case underscores how uncertain the claim of self-defense can be, even in a state that revised its "Castle Doctrine" last year to give an individual the right to use deadly force in self-defense anywhere in which a person has a legal right to be. The revised law also eliminated the duty to retreat before using that force. Lowes case was featured in March in a Daily News article about the revision of that doctrine. (note: this is a paragraph down in the article that I pulled up front = out of order).
Current Ruling: ........A PHILADELPHIA JUDGE said Wednesday he was convinced that a disabled, retired Marine was being attacked in the moments before he fatally stabbed a man last October, but he concluded that the stabbing was still a criminal act rather than self-defense.
Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner then convicted Jonathan Lowe, 57, of voluntary manslaughter and possession of an instrument of crime. The judge found him not guilty of the more-serious charges of first- and third-degree murder.
"When he had his hands around my neck, I pulled out my knife and started stabbing him," Lowe testified Wednesday.
Stretton noted that Lowe stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, believing himself to be the victim.
Stretton said case law barred him from introducing Mannings 18 criminal convictions at trial because Lowe wasnt aware of them and most of them were too old, the most recent from 2002. According to court records, Manning was awaiting trial for allegedly knocking out a womans teeth while robbing her two years ago Thursday.
My Comments: It's Philly, and we know who runs the machine there. Might as well be D.C. or Chicago. Also... Sounds like the guy needed a much better Attorney! A non-Jury Trial....?..........bad decision on this one in my opinion (which is not wort spit).

What is Idiopathic Head Tremors, what are the causes and cures?
My 3 year old English Bulldog is having head tremors, involuntary shaking of his head only. They are periodic and last anywhere from 1 - 2 minutes. What is the cause, treatment and/or cure?

Idiopathic means without known cause. What does your vet say in terms of treatment??? I would assume this is most likely a form of epilepsy, which, when referred to as idiopathic, has no known cause and/or cure. It can be treated with various drugs, again, you need to contact your vet about this. I do know that this idiopathic head tremors in bulldogs and most idiopathic epilepsy IS considered hereditary and your dog should never be used for breeding. You should also notify his breeder about this condition so they can make an informed decision about breeding his parents again.

Possibly not the same problem...but blood poisoning from a malfunctioning liver can & does cause epilepsy type symptoms. Our Scottish terrier started waving her head around and this was due to bad blood products from a liver invaded with cancer.
I'm no vet and your dog probably doesn't have cancer, but from our first hand experience, try and carefully analyse as to whether the periods of head tremors can be altered by altering the type of food you are feeding her. There is now a lot of advice on the internet about what home prepared food is best to help dogs with cancer.
You can't help smile when most commercial dog food says in small writing..not for human consumption...My motto is if you love your dog...fed her what you could eat as well!

I have two Beagles of my own and my youngest is 1.5 and shes had idiopathic head tremors since she was at least six months old. How ever it took until just a few months ago to diagnose her. I was able to take a video of the tremors which is what helped the vet to diagnose her. He told us we could discus an anti-seaser medication, however because she is coherent throughout the tremor we do not need to look at medicating her. My older Beagle will give us warning by getting up and lying beside her, I have discovered that if you ask her to give you a kiss it will end the tremor and she now will try to do it on her own. we have been lucky so far they do not happen often but because they are not causing her neurological damage we have learned to ride them out. We think that when she eats her feces it can cause them because 24-48 hours after eating it she will have a tremor. When she was a pup she was given the pills to stop it and the MSG has had a lingering effect when she eats feces.

Hey all, I'm a college student and I wanted to ask for all your help, but at the same time I wanted to spread the word about a product I came across called The Surge. So first what I need from you guys is just to check out my blog and answer my surveys. My blog (click here) is actually on promoting Novothink's 'The Surge'. This is part of my marketing project and I need to get survey results and analyze them. There, simple as that.
Now, onto The Surge. Do you use your iPhone or iPod Touch often and find your battery depleting quickly? And sure enough your battery is almost dead in the middle of the day? Well what would you think about charging your iPhone or iPod touch with the natural power of the sun? Wouldn't it be convenient to have an extra battery pack that chargers wherever there is sun? The Surge is a simply a solar charger/battery pack for the iPhone 3G/S and iPod Touch. I'm an avid environmentalist as well as an iPhone enthusiast, which is why The Surge appealed to me as a great marketing project. You can check out The Surge here. I think The Surge is an excellent invention since there is a large iPhone and iPod touch community. Novothink has even developed an app (Free in the AppStore, just search "Novothink") that calculates how long you have to charge the battery pack and factors in how long and the the type of usage you have planned for your iPhone or iPod touch. Stay tuned on more information on The Surge for I will be posting more info after I meet up with Novothink @ Macworld 2010 this week. Also, I may be posting a giveaway sweepstakes once I get my hand on some samples! Thanks again!

hi, ive just purchased a rceland coilover kit and after i fitted the kit there is a knocking sound at the rear, i used the old bump stops, as none were supplied with the kit, but they are very worn. could this be the cause of the problem?
hi, ive just purchased a rceland coilover kit and after i fitted the kit there is a knocking sound at the rear, i used the old bump stops, as none were supplied with the kit, but they are very worn. could this be the cause of the problem?
I wouldn't think that they would cause the problem, I had remove bumpstops from previous cars before to make them very low!
Raceland.... Is that the kit from eBay - about £200-£300 worth?
Is everything tight?
yea got them for £150, i didnt expect them to be great but they shudnt make knocking sounds, yea everythings tight ive checked everything twice over.
I would be really careful with cheap coilover kits, I have heard no end of problems with them (I am in the tuning trade but for VAG, so I hear a fair bit)
Only started knocking after the kit was fitted? How much did you drop it?
Erm, shame you are in Newcastle mate otherwise I would be happy to take a look and see!
Might be cv joints if its rear,
lowering will make the the drive shafts work at an angle rather than being horizontal.
Does it do it all the time on a flat road, as you go over speed bumps? over hills in the road?
Could also be a bush giving up?
yea it only happens when goin over bumps, every thing was ok before i put the kit on, wish i just left it standard. are the bushes costly and is it easily done?
Bush company I always use: http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/...%29-303/1.html
I would say either that a worn bush is causing it or you have lowered it a fair old bit and something is catching - try and see if you can look under the car while a few friends bounce up and down in the boot.
My car is very very low and I have never experienced any problems
I used the H&R coilover kit (Binned the rear adjusters and have a stack of ICE install in the boot) and I have Powerflex Polyurethane bushes all around.
It does sound bush related, what condition were the Rear shock Mounts in? These should've been replaced when doing the swap as they are prone to going.
Also, may I ask how long you have had the kit fitted?
The E46 suffers with the floor tearing under the diff housing mounting points Most definitely worth checking for

One recommendation received by Davenport aldermen and their desire to meet with the Riverboat Development Authority was to take a step back and wait.
The Davenport City Council discussed a resolution Wednesday inviting the RDA to meet with aldermen in the next 30 days regarding three casino proposals received by both sides.
Walter Skovronski, president of the city's landlord association, told aldermen they were pushing too much, however. The RDA has taken over the search for a casino operator willing to develop a land-based casino after the city sought to acquire the Rhythm City from the Isle of Capri.
"You've gotten accomplished a large part of your goal," he said. "You've gotten this off-center.
"Now's the time to sit back, smoke a cigar, drink a beer," he said. "If they are so smart, let them do their work."
The city received a letter from the RDA earlier this week, saying it was inappropriate to meet until there is "substantive information to share."
The RDA response prompted Aldermen Ray Ambrose, 4th Ward, and Gene Meeker, At Large, to call the lengthy discussion a moot endeavor.
"Until the RDA gives us the opportunity to discuss the future of gaming in Davenport, this is moot," Ambrose said. "I think we've done some good work, and the public should know it."
Several aldermen wanted to extend the invitation so the proposals could be discussed. For a time, that issue was lost in the discussion as residents continued to raise concerns over a $387,500 bill from Deloitte and Touche for conducting due diligence in the casino acquisition.
Resident David Haase, who spoke about the bill last week, noted city officials vowed not to use property tax for acquisition and operation of the casino, and he hoped it would stay that way.
The city has options in how to pay for it through gaming revenues and leases, said Alderman Jeff Justin, 6th Ward, who chairs the council's finance committee.
"I am confident property tax won't be used," he said.
Resident Tony Lorentzen questioned a city estimate that the property tax rate could be lowered by $3 to $4 per $1,000 assessed value because of a city-owned casino.
"It is very conservative modeling," City Administrator Craig Malin explained of revenues and costs. "It is public ownership that drives that number down. Those tax rate reductions are within the realm of possibility with an Interstate 80 casino."
Alderman Mike Matson, 8th Ward, said several computations are involved, so the one quoted in a city fact sheet isn't the only set of numbers being used.
"We've seen multiple versions, multiple spreadsheets," he said. "There is a discussion about what this is. There are other opinions and other numbers."
Alderman Barney Barnhill, 7th Ward, also showed his frustration with seeing different spreadsheets for each proposal. Saying the figures are "very confusing to me," he asked that an easy-to-read version be provided within a week.
"It seems like we are getting new spreadsheets every week," he said. "I want one sheet we can all understand."
Alderman Nathan Brown, 1st Ward, felt comfortable with the spreadsheets he's seen.
"Right now, we have a good projection if it is city-owned," he said. "That is a good start."
Reached on Wednesday, RDA president Mary Ellen Chamberlin said the search committee met for about an hour Monday, mostly to draft the letter to the city. The committee isn't expected to meet again for two or three weeks.
Proposals and inquiries are being forwarded to The Innovation Group at the request of the Isle of Capri, owner of the Rhythm City.
At the council meeting, Justin said he wants the RDA to move quickly.
"People need to remember we went down the road not thinking of city ownership," he said. "We went down the same path the RDA did. I have no problem supporting the RDA, but move it along."

The Weatherford Pass-Through Toll Project includes nine separate highway segments totaling 7.5 miles along Interstate 20 (I-20), State Highway (SH) 171 and Farm to Market (FM) Road 51.
The projects cost $52 million and Weatherford contributed about $7-10 million.
Weatherford will be reimbursed by TxDOT for its investment based on the number of cars that "pass-through" on the roadway. Pass-through tolling accelerates projects by allowing the debt to be paid off over time. Because the money is not needed all at once, it frees those funds to be used elsewhere.
The project was completed in 2016. Weatherford not only coordinated public involvement but also designed, built and inspected the roadway.

Cager Classic will be last game for many local players
Some of the area's top basketball seniors will take the court one last time this weekend.
The 18th annual Cager Classic takes place Friday and Saturday at Highlands High School. Boys and girls representing six Armstrong County schools will be taking part in the all-star weekend.
The 11 local participants in this year's Cager Classic are Alek Schaffer and Emily Knepshield of Kittanning; Jesse Sequeira and Ally Cujas of Ford City; Zane Clowser, Kelly Clowser and Tristan Cribbs of West Shamokin; Dom Schrecengost and Ashley Emminger of Apollo-Ridge; Ben Ritchie of Leechburg; and Michaela Bowser of Freeport.
Some players, such as Fox Chapel senior and Duke recruit Erin Mathias, have much ahead of them in their basketball careers.
But for others, including many of the local participants, the Cager Classic will end their organized playing days.
"It's crazy to think it's finally the end of basketball and high school," Sequeira said. "I'm really excited for it. I've been to see the last two, and I'm excited to play in it finally."
"I'm hoping to play (in college), but I plan to play all out this weekend and play like it is my last game. I'm going to enjoy it while I can," Cribbs said.
One novelty of Saturday night's all-star games is the pairing of rivals on the same team. The East teams will bring together players from Kittanning, Ford City, Apollo-Ridge and Leechburg, among others, while the West teams get the players from West Shamokin and Freeport.
Sequeira mentioned Schaffer as one of the players he's played against and looks forward to teaming up with. Others didn't have specific players in mind but are looking forward to meeting their new teammates.
"I'm excited to have the chance to play with this group of girls," Knepshield said. "I read the paper a lot when I'm playing and see their names, so it will be cool to see what they're all capable of."
Being an all-star game, the style of play is expected to be a little less structured than a typical high school game, but many of the players view that as a positive.
"I've gone to it the last few years and always thought it would be cool to play in it. I'm ready to see how all these other kids play," Schaffer said. "Everyone wants to win, but we're still going to have fun."
"I'm going to try to play my game," Sequeira said. "There's definitely going to be a lot of good players out there, so there will probably be more isolation stuff. I like it, because I'm definitely more of a driver than a shooter."
Win or lose, all the players understand the most important thing about the weekend is to have fun with old friends and new teammates.
"It's going to be competitive, but I think it will turn out to be a pretty fun game, and I'm really happy that (Clowser) and I get the opportunity to play together again," Cribbs said.

My neighbor said they would love to shoot my dog because he barks to much? Tonight someone shot him with a pellet gun!!!
Dog is a 8 month old Walker Hound, I have a 6" fence around two city lots in my back yard where the dogs go out for a few hours at a time when nobody is home. The pup does bark but I try to keep him inside when it gets late or if he wont stop barking. He is a inside dog and sleeps with my six year old.
I have one neighbor behind me that has complained about the dog since I got him home. He says his brother got separated because he was to stupid to get rid of his hounds. A couple months ago I was walking past there house with my kids and they started a conversation about my noisy dog. The wife said that she told my Aunt she would love to shoot my dog.
The dog is only out about 3-5 hours a day and the pup comes in when I get home from work at 4:00. We went to town for a few hours tonight and when I got home the pup was lying out back and not himself. I found a small hole in his flank and took him to the vet.
He was shot with a pellet gun $300 later!!
What do I do now? Police?????

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I would keep the dog indoors when he is not being supervised. The next time he could get a pellet in the eye.
If you are worried he will get into things if left inside then crate train him and leave him home with something to occupy him (like a toy or bone) so he wont bark incessantly while you are away.
If he barks a lot it's usually an indication he's bored. Try taking him for longer walks (with obedience commands at every corner to keep his mind busy) and/or some sort of scent trails. A Walker Hound is bred to scent out game so try and find activities that fulfill his needs in that respect.
More exercise, things to occupy him while you're gone, and crate him inside while you're gone. That is the best advice I can give :D
As for the current shooting there isn't much you can do. You can file a complaint but unless you or someone else actually saw who shot him there isn't much the police can do.

I would also call the police and report it.

Ok call the police.
But can I ask why you have a Walker in the city?
Is he getting enough exercise? Do you hunt with him? Has he had any training?
I fostered a Bluetick years ago and it didn't take long to figure out that the neighbors were not appreciative of his 'singing'.
If you are planning on keeping this dog in this area, I would be careful about him being out unattended. Please remember that these dogs have voices that are designed to be heard for miles.

I wouldn't consider where I live a city. There are about 500 people in town. I have 3 city lots with the back two being fenced with a 6" cedar fence.
I do not hunt with the dog. He is mostly inside with my kids. He is trained some and mostly barks at people moving around outside of the fence or cats, squirls and stuff. No one has ever came over and complained or called the cops on me for him barking. The one neighbor which isn't my closest neighbor has complained a few times when I am walking by the house. They didn't seem angry when they talked about it only suggested I should get some devices to make the dog quit barking. His wife said that she told my aunt she would like to shoot him.
I try to be a good neighbor and don't put the dogs out early or leave them out late at night.
I am planning on moving out of town in the spring and selling the house. I just can't believe that someone would shot my dog in my yard. I have lived here for 7yrs and have always had dogs.

Your dog is only doing what comes natural. Walker cur has what we call a "bay" bark which is very loud and distinctive. We use them when hunting cause they can sniff out a prey and bay bark loudly so we can find them deep in the woods.
Your dog is baying (barking) only trying to get ur attention basically saying "Daddy! Daddy!" I found u something. You need to take time and show him when is the right and wrong time to bark because he only wants to please u. Be consistent. If u don't want a squirrel and he barks yell LEAVE IT!! And get his attention stop him. Then once he's quite give him love and attention. If u don't want someone close to ur fence enlist a stranger and while u are in ur yard with ur dog leashed have the stranger walk up to the fence when he barks praise him give love. Then have the stranger start walking away once he's off ur property line and the dog is still barking yank on the chain and make him stop. He will eventually figure out what his daddy wants.
Member 1153051 answered on 2/1/13. Helpful? / 1
what most likely will happen, both of you will get charged because
A. you were responsible to keep the dog safe and you had 2 choices outside or inside and You made the choice to leave him outside so basically it was foreseen that its possible dangerous outside without your control but then you have the control to prevent this possible danger if you choose to leave your dog inside especially their were complaints about your dog, you may be charged to never be able own a dog due to lack of care and one of the causes that led to the death of the dog
2. depending on the state laws on animal abuse, killing a dog obviously is abuse, he may be charged with whatever laws at the state you are in regards to animal abuse and also ordered to not own a dog for rest of his life
ironically, both of you MAY end up being charged with animal abuse.
This may be different if you really go to court, but generally this is logical both causing the death of the dog is animal abuse

I just tried 5.1.1 and it runs on 10.5. 6.0 & 5.2 certainly run fine

Alexander Valley possesses the greatest diversity of soil types in any wine-growing region of California. It has a long history of dramatic geologic activity-from an ancient mudflow that changed the course of the Russian River, to earthquake upheavals that redistributed whole sections of land. The incredible diversity of soil types and microclimates produces wines with the velvety textures and bright, luscious flavors that are characteristic of Alexander Valley. Simi Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the best of Alexander Valley's bright fruit characters and elegance that made this world-class growing region famous.
Wine Spectator Barrel Sample
"A rich, expressive, mouthful of racy blackberry and wild berry flavors, with hints of spice and light toasty oak. Score range: 92-94"-Wine Spectator
Their Alexander Valley vineyards possess some of the most diverse soils of any wine-growing region. Years of geologic activity – from an ancient mudflow to the meandering Russian River and Mayacama Creek – has created numerous distinct soil types and a range of microclimates. Here they grow the red Bordeaux varietals for their Reserve Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon for their Sendal.
Their Russian River Goldfields vineyard is planted to field selections chosen from the oldest and best Chardonnay vineyards in California. The combination of diverse clones and the cool, Russian River Valley climate produce Simi's distinct Reserve Chardonnay.
Simi's winemakers focus on site-specific winemaking and use the most modern advances in vineyard management, fermentation and blending to best express the personality and flavors of each vineyard site.

I believe that true and lasting healing comes from a willingness to deeply experience and explore the emotions related to your present and past experiences. Unexamined feelings tend to lead to painful and unwanted symptoms. By understanding and experiencing your feelings and emotions, you will be able to grieve. In this case, grieving is the letting go of emotion, which then makes room for new, positive and effective emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I believe that therapy is not magic e or a quick fix, but is a process that requires work, faith and commitment. This journey includes a number of approaches, which may include challenging negative or self-sabotaging beliefs or learning relaxation or mindfulness strategies.

A psychologist is trained and specializes in human feeling, human communication, what goes wrong with these, and how we can fix what goes wrong. Only someone with a Ph.D or Psy.D in psychology (typically 5 years of graduate school) followed by a year or two of post-doctoral supervised experience and then a (passed!) licensing exam can identify themselves as a psychologist. Of the various kinds of counselors, psychologists typically have the most and broadest training in the many facets of human emotional/psychological issues, especially in psychotherapy. If you don't have specific reasons to see a particular counselor of another type, it would probably be wise to start with a psychologist to be sure you're considering all possibilities as you assess what's going on.

RURAL VALLEY — The senior high student council at West Shamokin High School is planning on making an improvement to their school.
The student council is going to purchase a big-screen television, which will be placed in the cafeteria. The television will show photos and videos of school events including prom, Snow Ball, band and chorus concerts, talent show, sporting events, student council events, semi-formal dances, club events, school plays, art shows, fundraising events, Volleyball Day, Veterans Day, Field Day and videos produced by the school's TV/broadcasting class, as well as displaying announcements about future school events.
The student council feels that the TV will be very useful and effective for educating students about what is going on in their school and to promote future activities.
On Feb. 15, the student council held an elementary school Valentine's Day dance. The dance was an overall success and raised a lot of money toward the TV fund. The dance DJs were Collin Adamson and Tanner Stewart. Games at the dance where organized by Jenny Yassem and Heather Priester. Decorations at the dance were done by Makayla Murray, Kyle McElwain and Jenna Cochran.
All supplies at the concession stand where donated by senior high student council members, making our cost very minimal. Concession stand workers were Anna Skamai, Nicole Hough, Victoria Lowery, Courtney Horner, Alyssa Bruno, Amanda Wensel and Nancy Jo Williams.
One of the best jobs was awarded to Ryan Myers, who was put on bathroom duty for the night and tried to keep kids from diving into the toilet for a nickel. The dance was also graced with the presence of the mascot Mr. Wolf (Kyle McElwain), who was selling bead necklaces. The fundraising event was just as much fun for the elementary school students as it was for the student council members. The television will hopefully be at the school by the end of this school year.
Scheduling for next year
That's right, it's that time of the year again — scheduling time. All students are asked to set up their schedules for the next year. Scheduling can be a drag to some; many of the students think it is boring because most classes are mandatory.
The important thing about scheduling is that it's based on your own likes and dislikes. Some find it stupid to have some mandatory classes. Well yes, and although some classes are not optional, there are many that are optional.
During the year students do not realize the possibilities for a career in life, the various options for their future. Scheduling helps you find your direction.
When you speak to the guidance counselor they will ask you about your career options. Now, think about what classes you do your best in, and what your favorite class is.
No student wants to admit the fact that they might actually like a class in school, or more so love it. Finding what you are good at and what you enjoy are very important things for you to know; that's where scheduling comes in.
While the guidance counselor may give you a basic generalized guide to your entire English class during one 40-minute period, Tammie Bash-Wilson and Fran Rucinski will meet up with you individually to figure out your options.
It is important if you like a class — even if you do not know what you are going to be when you grow up — mention to one of these guidance counselors what classes you are great in, and what classes you can barely stand. Just with that information many more options can be found that suit you best.
Scheduling time is not just another time when you approach the next year, it's a time where you find yourself.
It may not be easy, but taking the time to consider what you do like and what you don't like will come in handy.

Hilary Duff Reveals 'All About You' Single Artwork [PHOTO]
Hilary Duff revealed last night, Aug. 9, the artwork for her next single, 'All About You,' which will make its debut Monday night.
Heading into the weekend, Duff teased news about her new single on Twitter on Friday with the message, "This weekend is going to be All About You guys…!" Yesterday, it was revealed that 'All About You' will premiere on The Adam Bomb Show Monday night on Atlanta radio station Q100. Duff was in Atlanta, Ga. on Friday to tape the prerecorded segment. The show will be broadcast online beginning at 7PM ET.
'All About You' is co-written by Savan Kotecha, who has also worked on such hits as One Direction's 'Live While We're Young' and 'What Makes You Beautiful,' as well as Britney Spears' 'I Wanna Go.' It's Duff's second single (after 'Chasing the Sun') off her forthcoming album, due out later this year.
Are you read for more Hilary music?

So I've decided to start a new in the box series this year where I put together a fun array of things, box them up and share them with you. I'm already looking forward to summer Olympics in a box.
First up is Valentine's Day of course with a mix of red and pink. To tell you the truth, I had a lot of these items already stashed in my craft/party supplies. And Ryan wonders why I need an entire walk in closet to store them.

ATLANTA, April 6, 2010 – The High Museum of Art will present the "Films from the Arab World" series from Saturday, April 10, through Saturday, April 24. The series features three recent Arabic films, including the award-nominated Egyptian film "Dunia: Kiss Me Not on the Eyes." The festival is co-sponsored by the Alif Institute in Atlanta.
"The High is please to again partner with the Alif Institute on this program of films from the Arab world," said Linda Dubler, curator of media arts at the High. "As diverse as the Arab world itself, these three films explore the collision of modernity and tradition, and show us the human face of conflicts, whether they be personal or political."
The festival opens on Saturday, April 10, with Lebanese director Jocelyne Saab's "Dunia: Kiss Me Not on the Eyes," a lushly photographed and beautifully scored film that follows an Egyptian woman, Dunia, in her search for self. Dunia is a student of both dance and poetry whose work is stunted by her inability to tap into her sensuality and womanly identity. Her teacher, an ardent public intellectual, urges her to recognize the ecstatic strain in her culture's artforms, but she must first confront the traditions that have destroyed her capacity for pleasure before she can experience it. This film is in Arabic with English subtitles.
From director Rashid Masharawi, the dark urban comedy "Laila's Birthday" will be shown on April 17. Abu Laila wasn't always a cab driver in the West Bank Palestinian city of Ramallah. Before the government ran out of money to pay his judicial wages, this proud, thoughtful and philosophical man was a judge who was respected for his fairness and viewed as a pillar of the community. This wry and rueful film is the story of an eventful and frustrating day in Abu Laila's life. This film is in Arabic with subtitles.
The series closes on Saturday, April 24, with Iraqi-French director Abbas Fahdel's film "The Dawn of the World," a love story that is also a tale of political turmoil. Mastour and his cousin Zahra are destined to marry, and both expect to live their lives much like their ancestors, who did not welcome contact with the modern world. But when the Gulf War begins, Mastour is forced into service. His fate on the battlefield and the responsibility he thrusts upon his friend Riad will change not just Zahra, but the whole community. This film is in Arabic with subtitles.
Film Series Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, all films begin at 8 p.m. and are screened in the Richard H. Rich Theatre, located in the Memorial Arts Building, adjacent to the High at Peachtree and 15th Streets in midtown Atlanta (MARTA stop N5).
"Dunia: Kiss Me Not on the Eyes"
Saturday, April 10
(Egypt, 2006, 108 minutes.)
"Laila's Birthday"
Saturday, April 17
(Palestine/Tunisia/The Netherlands, 2008, 71 minutes.)
"The Dawn of the World"
Saturday, April 24
(France/Iraq/Germany, 2008, 95 minutes.)
This program is co-sponsored by the Alif Institute in Atlanta (www.alifinstitute.org). 35mm projection facilities in the Rich Auditorium were provided by a gift from George Lefont.
To purchase tickets in advance go to www.high.org, visit the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office or call 404-733-5000. Tickets for all shows are $7 general admission and $6 for students, seniors and Museum members. Patron-level members enter free.

The vast majority of the TVs we see come from somewhere "out east" - Japan, Korea, Taiwan or China. But today we're heading south. Way south. For the Kogan brand behind the Kogan LED55 KULED551HDAA TV on our test benches today is actually Australian.
Kogan has dabbled its toes in UK waters before, but only this year has it really made a full-blooded assault on our infamously tough TV marketplace, setting up its own online retail website and launching a surprisingly full range of TVs. And sitting right at the top of this range is the Kogan LED55, a 55in TV with a Freeview HD tuner, 100Hz processing, and a surprisingly slender design made possible by its use of edge LED lighting.
The home for Kogan's UK flagship screen - which remarkably only costs £749 - is a passably attractive one, thanks to a high-gloss finish and some respectable build quality. The TV's lines are a bit 'standard', it has to be said, and its bezel is wider than we're becoming accustomed to seeing, making the Kogan LED55 quite a dominating presence. But at least its rear end is quite trim for a budget TV.
Connectivity is perfectly decent too. HD fans should be satisfied by the provision of a trio of HDMIs, for a start, while there's also a D-Sub PC port so the TV can double up as a computer monitor; an Ethernet port; and a USB jack that's able to play video, music or photo files using the AVI, MP4, DivX4, DivX5, XVID, MP3, WMA, JPEG and BMP file formats.
The USB port can also be used, impressively, for recording from the HD tuner, with USB drives up to 1TB supported. This sort of functionality certainly goes beyond what you would normally expect to find on such an aggressively-priced 55in TV, and raises hopes that the Ethernet port might extend to such "value added" functionality as DLNA streaming or even online Smart TV functionality.
Sadly - if predictably - this does not prove to be the case. The Ethernet is there simply because the inclusion of the Freeview HD tuner demands it. It doesn't provide a pipeline to your PC or any wider online services. Oh well. Such is budget TV life.
If you're the sort of person who tends to tremble in fear at the very sight of a few onscreen menu options, the Kogan LED55 could be the TV for you. For its onscreen menus are just about as basic as basic can be, in terms of both their presentation and the limited amount of functionality and adjustments they contain. The only surprise is an elementary colour management system, which lets you tweak the balance of the red, green and blue image components.
While the Kogan's onscreen menus are straightforward, though, trawling through them is not. This is because the set's remote control system is really pretty horrible, with rubbery buttons, a vague layout, and worst of all, a far-too-narrow effective reception range that prevents the TV responding to your remote commands unless you've got it pointed at the screen from exactly the right angle. Very annoying.
John, you can't be serious? The only thing Australian about a Kogan TV is the owner. Anyone willing to fork out for more than 500 cheap & nasty TV's from China can have their name stuck on the front too! You too can be an on-line retailer, just check out alibaba.com.
I bought a 32" TV/DVD 8 months ago that died 3 days ago.
I've spent the last 3 days trying to contact Kogan via their website as they don't have a cutomer services telephone service that I can find.
They are ignoring all my attempts to communicate with them and even had the cheek to mail me a further offer earlier today.
My advice - Steer well clear of Kogan products......
Poor quality and atrocious after sales service. You have to wait untiul they respond before you can return their poor quality and in my case damaged TV. I am still waiting after a week to get an address to return the TV. Not only that but I will also have to pay for the TOTAL transpirting costs - both deliveries if I do get a response. I am not sure if or when I can get a refund. Legally speaking if you inform the seller that you do not want their product you can retunrn it after 7 days. Notification should be made within the 7 days, this does not mean that the product has to reach the seller within the 7 days of purchase. Check the internet to see the advice regarding Kogan which is AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Landlings and sea creatures
Today, I commented on an article in the Guardian. I agreed with some of what the writer was saying, but was concerned about his factual errors and inaccurate statistics. This is not uncommon whenever I am reading articles by people of left-wing persuasion. Forgive me: I do not mean to make a political point, and I do not intend this as criticism. But it seems to me that hard facts and figures don't sit well with many people whose political views are left of centre, and some who are more right-wing, too. So many times facts and figures are few and far between, and those that are used are poorly researched, maths is wrong, logical analysis is not followed through and anything complex is glossed over. These are my sea creatures. Whether their politics are left or right, their priorities are understanding human emotion, caring for people and for the planet, and "fairness". And to the extent that facts and figures interfere with these concerns, they may feel justified in ignoring them or adapting them to fit. Structure and accuracy is less important to them than emotion and belief: they do not need to anchor themselves to the rock of information, but can float freely in a sea of philosophical and social constructs. And they are very uncomfortable with the dry, structured world of the landlings. To them, the landling obsession with facts & figures indicates that they don't care about people.
Anyway, I corrected the facts and supplied accurate statistics. I looked up and read the article by Eoin Clarke that the writer had referenced for one of his comments; I obtained figures from the OBR's Economic Forecast for the forecasted 50p tax take; I researched the recessions of 1980-81 and 1973-5. And I wrote my findings in a comment which I admit was fairly critical of the writer. This is what landlings do, you see, when faced with something that looks decidedly watery. They anchor themselves to the information rocks so they don't get washed away by the tide of emotion and belief, and they develop thick shells to protect themselves from the sun and from the fierceness of the waves. Have you ever tried to prise a limpet off a rock? I have. It really isn't easy. So, many landlings hold rigid views, which may be seen as right-wing or extreme: they like mathematical models and they may prefer to see economics as a natural rather than behavioural science. They see people as essentially rational - well, as they are themselves. And they are very uncomfortable with the inconsistency, illogicality and emotional behaviour of the sea creatures. "Where are the facts? Where is the logic?" they cry.
Now this is the surprising bit, at least to sea creatures. The landling obsession with facts & figures doesn't mean they don't care about people. Generally, they do - just as much as the sea creatures. But their way of dealing with the world is through information and structure. And because of that, the conclusions they come to about the best way of dealing with problems in the world is likely to be entirely different from the conclusions that sea creatures reach. Both groups are after the same thing - the best outcome for people. But one group wants a watery, free-floating world, because that is where they are most comfortable, and the other group wants a world of hard dry land, because that is where they feel at home.
Needless to say, I was challenged. And what I was challenged on was my landling act. I suppose I should have expected it - this was the Guardian, after all, by far the most "watery" of the quality newspapers. The comment was typically sea-creature: he accused me of only being interested in statistics and caring nothing for human emotion, the care of the people of this planet or fairness. And he invented what he thought I believed, and even what he thought I had said. I suspect he decided, because of my criticism of an article that he liked, that I must be a Tory and therefore attributed to me the beliefs that he thinks Tories hold. This is not the first time that someone of sea-creature persuasion has attributed to me, on the basis of no evidence, beliefs that I do not hold. In fact the last time this happened I wrote an entire blog debunking what had been said about me. And I have no doubt that I will be so challenged again. Because I like water, you see. Yes, when I write about banking and finance - and economics - I research my facts and figures and I do a very good landling act: these are dry subjects, after all. But I am drawn to the sea of emotions and beliefs, even though I may seem a stranger there.
Those of us who, like me, try to bridge the divide between these two groups can end up belonging nowhere. We cannot tolerate the drought and the two-dimensional nature of dry land, but when we are in water we need to feel solid ground under our feet. Many moons ago, I studied coastal ecology for my A-level Biology, and the strangeness of the intertidal zone and the creatures that inhabit it struck a chord with me. These creatures need to be bathed by the tide twice a day, or they shrivel and die, but they cling firmly to the rocks so that they are not washed out to sea. Perhaps that's why Holy Island (Lindisfarne), which I visit at Easter every year, appeals to me so much: this strange place is an island at high tide, but at low tide you can walk across on dry land. For someone who needs both sea and land, this seems an ideal place.
So I defended myself......as a creature of the intertidal zone. At least I think I did. I justified my use of statistics, but I talked about people's lives. Perhaps my original comment was a tide-out comment, and my second comment was a "tide-on-the-turn" comment? And now I am writing this blog, which is definitely written from a "tide-in" place!
Tomorrow I go back to my day job, teaching singing to young people. And in that job, I need to bring together the scientific basis of singing technique, acoustics and musical theory, with human understanding and communication of the emotions contained in the songs that my students will sing. Music is a highly-structured discipline, but without emotion it is cold. So too with economics. A system of economics that has no place within it for human emotion and belief, and that cares nothing for the lives of people, is dead. But complete lack of structure and discipline, eschewing all mathematical models and rigorous analysis, is equally dangerous: the sea is an unpredictable and chaotic place, and without the information anchor we are at the mercy of freak tides and waves. For no-one lives entirely on dry land or in the water. Humans are partly, but not wholly rational: facts and figures tell part of, but not all, the story. Sea creatures and landlings need each other, for each has only half the world.

I've often wondered what proportion of Guardian journalists have science degrees relative to the equivalent proportion for other newspapers.

What a fabulous blogpost..really enjoyable read and struck a few chords with me (no pun intended!)ReplyDelete
The problem with the landlings and the sea creatures is the both think mathematics is a science when it is really a language. A very precise one and also very discrete too.
Hope to see you on the beech more often.
Getting statistics from Eoin Clarke? for an article (theoretically) aimed and grown-ups? Wow.. just.. WOW.ReplyDelete
I know lots of people take what Dear Richie write seriously, but I thought that even the most ardent left-sea-creatures only read Eion's stuff for the lolz.
It's a challenge being someone who wants to dig through the spin (of both sides) and find the facts. Criminal misuse of statistics is widespread, and perhaps the left are the biggest offenders at the moment because they're in opposition. I rather wish I'd been reading the writers I read now prior to the election/crisis so that I could compare and contrast.
I have no time for the mainstream on either side.. perhaps because both are dominated by the sea creatures, who are only interested in arming their troops with rhetoric and misunderstood graphs. This is why we have UKUncut fighting a good fight, but with all the wrong weapons. If I try and point this out then it's, apparently, because I'm a Tory.. not because I think that if we proles are ever to be taken seriously we need to inject some credibility into our debates.
Great post Frances....ReplyDelete

Let me see if I've got this right. The other morning I was following a car to work. We went through a 50mph limit road and the driver was doing 35mph according to my speedometer, then we entered a 60mph road, the driver continued at 35mph, we then went onto a 20mph road, the driver left me way behind so I will assume the speed was still 35mph, by the time we reached the 30mph road the driver was way in the distance, but I continued to lose ground on the driver's position. I would say the driver was a sea creature clinging to the 35mph rock. On the other hand, later that day when I was driving, I was following a car and the driver was sticking to the exact speed limits showing on the signs. To stay safe most people drive at near enough the limits, but follow the speed of traffic flow. I would call the second driver a landling. Have I grasped the gist of your types Frances?ReplyDelete
Hiya Clay.ReplyDelete
Sea creatures don't cling, they float. However, if your 35-mph merchant ignores speed limits because he believes he is a good driver who can judge safe speeds well enough himself, so the actual speed limits don't need to apply to him, then he is relying on belief in defiance of facts, which is sea creature behaviour. Alternatively he could be a very worried landling whose cruise control has got stuck.
Your exact-speed-limit person, apart from being a tad OCD, is quite possibly someone who has recently been through a speed awareness course...in which case he's behaving rationally, which would suggest a landling. Or he could be a sea creature who believes that signs should always be observed exactly. Sticking exactly to speed limits regardless of the conditions wouldn't be landling behaviour.
It's never that simple, is it?
Interesting post. I'm not convinced that the left is inherently less interested in factual accuracy than is the right: in the USA the Republicans have lost almost all contact with reality. As TTG suggests, being in opposition may be a factor.ReplyDelete
Personally, I think I find left-wing truthiness more jarring because I want the best arguments to be made for the things I believe in.
And I thought landlings stuck to given facts, shows how wrong one can be when interpreting another's reasoning. Perhaps I should stick to calling them plebs, because they(the drivers) abide by rules which are neither here nor there.....ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha. Since they like facts, landlings would be likely to know that according to the Highway Code speed limits are the MAXIMUM speed you are legally allowed to go, but the actual speed that you should drive may be lower than that depending on road conditions. They might also be well-read on the consequences of driving faster than appropriate for the conditions. As I said, it's never that simple.
This isn't a left-right thing. There is as much spurious crap from rightwing politicians and commentators as there is from leftwing ones. For every Johann Hari and Polly Toynbee there's a Richard Littlejohn and Melanie Phillips. Chris Dillow pointed out that the job of columnists is not to be right, it's to reinforce the prejudices of their readers. And these readers don't like it when their beliefs are challenged.ReplyDelete
That said, I wouldn't have had William Keegan down as a 'sea creature'. I'll put his quoting of Eoin Clarke down to a momentary lapse.
Quantitave economics depends on measurements from the past.ReplyDelete
There are four things wrong with this - the measurements are imperfect, the past is past and often either irrelevent or not contextually coherent to the present or future, people do not have consistent let alone linear and reversible responses and the models may well be wrong because they have been derived using data which have the first three errors.
The alternative is to derive models that understand how people actually think and act, allow for the heterogeneity in life as well as incorporating the complexity of finance. This is as very tall order and we are a long way from this I think.
Like you I populate that area which the tide washes over. I despair of journalists not understanding or at least not representing the facts properly but also of a largely innumerate population that doesn't seem to want to understand them.
But it is a highly complex picture in many dimensions that is very difficult to describe. So it is very easy to claim a simple knee-jerk explanation and of course to blame anyone who complains of bias or stupidity. Unfortunately this is what sells newspapers - they pander to our prejudices so don't expect too much from any British publication - only the FT IMHO has a chance!
- Anonymous13 April 2012 at 09:14
Yet another great blogpost Frances. It never ceases to amaze me how left-leaning people, and liberal evangelicals, do exactly as you said - pick up on something you say, misunderstand or assume you are of a certain political bent, and then think they can deduce from that your opinion on every single issue - political, social, economic, whatever.ReplyDelete
It is frustrating and infuriating in the extreme!

Martinez, Frampton make weight
Carl Frampton has warned Kiko Martinez that he is in for a hot reception when they clash for the European super bantamweight title at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast Saturday night. The duo clashed at a fiery press conference yesterday and had to be separated at today's weigh-in, as the Belfast fight fans crammed into the Europa Hotel penthouse suite roared their unbeaten hero to the scales before giving the Spaniard a hot reception. Frampton scaled 121.5 with Martinez just under that at 121 and as Martinez stepped off the scales, his cut-throat gesture to The Jackal sparked a ruckus on the stage and whipped the crowd up more.
"He mouthed off at the press conference and did that at the weigh-in today. I think he's under a lot of pressure and he's worried about it. I'm incredibly relaxed and I know that we have the right game-plan to take that title from him," said Frampton.
Other weights:
Andy Lee 160.25 vs. Anthony Fitzgerald 158.75
Martin Rogan 233 vs. Ladislav Kovarik ??
Grzegorz Proksa ?? vs. Norbert Szekeres ??
Lee Selby 125.25 vs. Martin Lindsay 125.5

Hit and run accidentsPosted by: fearman | Posted on: August 3, 2016
The problems of any motor vehicle injury are greatly compounded when an associated driver leaves the scene of the injury. It is not legal in all fifty states to flee the scene of an accident if there's trauma to either a man or to home. Despite these regulations, hit and run accidents of natures that are both more severe and small are all not too unusual. One of the more benign kinds of popular and run demands when damage is caused by a motorist to another car in a parking-lot.
But more severe hit-and-run accidents involve even or severe failures bicyclists or hitting pedestrians, leading to wrongful-death.
There are five essential measures you should take if you're ever involved with a collision where another driver flees the scene:
• Even if you're able. Maybe you are in shock too much to know what happened, but witnesses that are good can help determine the and the scenario at-fault motorist. If additional motorists stop to check on you, inquire further to keep at the scene of the accident until the police appear and can record their report of the accident and their personal information.
• Even if you are a driver with protection from your own policy contract. Sadly, many at fault motorists in hit and run injuries may never be identified, especially if there were no additional witnesses. Under-insured motorist protection on your own insurance plan may nonetheless insure your injuries if the at-fault driver just isn't identified. This coverage is a minor cost for the protection it should often be part of your coverage and provides you.
• Try And remember as of witnesses|of witnesses on the support. You may be in shock too much to understand what occurred, but great witnesses can assist determine the and the scenario at-fault motorist. If other motorists stop to check on you, inquire further to stay at the scene of the accident until law enforcement arrive and can record their accounts of their private advice and the accident.
• Rely on the assistance unable, do not follow another motorist. Stay at the scene of the injury and call law enforcement. Pursuing a driver could cause further harm to yourself-it can also disqualify you from making a claim under your personal insurance in the case you have to use the underinsured/uninsured driver section of your policy.
• Purchase under/uninsured
Hit and run accidents can be damaging in wrongful death scenarios, particularly for households. Not simply have you ever lost a loved one, but you're uncertain of who's responsible. In situations of death, a criminal study should be performed. If there's enough information about the vehicle that is other, the authorities may not be unable to concern lookup warrants so that you can search a vehicle for damage and on occasion even DNA that might determine the at fault driver.
In instances for example these, you must instantly retain a lawyer who's knowledgeable in hit-and-run accidents, wrongful death, and legal legislation.

Web Design Is Easy for Small Business With WordPress
Mention web design to most people and they will not have a clue about it, or they will have images of lots of programming code that may as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics. It is no wonder then that a lot of small businesses do not have a website. Most small business owners do not have the time to design a website, nor do they have the funds to pay someone else to do it for them. The problem with these two points is that they are not true, as designing a site does not have to be time-consuming nor expensive.
Although professionals who design websites will use costly software such as Dreamweaver, this is not an essential piece of equipment to put a decent site together. Unless the site is going to be complex and requires specific PHP programming, then a simple CMS (Content Management System) site will do. The most well-known of these is WordPress. This software is easy to install, as all web hosts have this option. Once installed it is then just a case of setting up the basics and adding content.
For those who need something more, then there are thousands of plugins available, and best of all, most of them are free. The bonus with WordPress is that there are so many templates now available that having a unique professional looking site is easy and costs from free to less than a hundred dollars. One major bonus with using this type of code to run a site is that visitors are well versed on the layout, and so find it easy to use. It also takes less than an hour to get a working site and is easy for a novice to use. So there is no excuse for a small business not to have a website with good web design.

Several Options for Spanish ClassesPosted by: fearman | Posted on: April 12, 2016
You Have Several Options for Spanish Lessons in New York
Are you planning to take a trip to Mexico or another country where Spanish is the primary language spoken? Perhaps you wish to learn Spanish for another reason, such as part of an educational requirement or because you want to keep your mind sharp and fresh by continually challenging yourself to learn new things. No matter what you reason for wishing to learn this language, you can take Spanish lessons from a variety of sources so that you can begin to master the Spanish language.
Many of the lessons that are taught include cultural background and context so that you get even more than just words and syntax to learn. These exposures to the culture are just as important as the language itself, particularly if you are going to interact with anyone from a Spanish-speaking country. Otherwise, you could inadvertently end up sticking your foot in your mouth and having an awkward situation arise.
The type of lessons that you will need to choose depends in large part on your reasons for learning the language. If you have to take a foreign language for school, then you will need to take authorized classes that will count toward your educational requirements. Some schools will allow students to test out of taking the actual classes if they can show proficiency in the language. However, if you do not already know Spanish, it is likely your best course of action to do so through your educational institution.
Of course, you do not have to be seeking a degree to take foreign language courses through most community colleges. If you are more interested in the format offered through a traditional school model or would simply like to earn credits toward the language should you ever decide to go after your degree, then you should find out what it takes to sign up for these classes.
One of the great things about going this route is that you are not trapped into attending classes in your local community. There are countless educational institutions that offer online classes for credit. If there is another community college in your state that you would prefer over the one in your area, or if there is not a community college in your city, you can investigate your other options within the state. Generally, out of state tuition would make it a bad idea to look into a state other than your own.
However, you will discover that there are many other ways that you can go about learning the language. You can purchase software that will guide you through the various aspects of the language or find websites that provide the information. Some of these do not charge while others do. Make sure you understand the terms before you become too interested in any one option you have available.
You can take Spanish lessons online or in person so that you can increase your knowledge and have fun learning!
