On paying visits
If one has been lucky enough to have been invited to a dinner party or a ball, one should visit one's hostess to 'pay a call' within two days of a ball or one week of a small party. While a lady may pay a personal visit, a gentleman need only leave his card.
"In town, leaving a card with the corner bent signifies that it was left by its owner in person, not sent by a servant. Bending the edges of a card, means that the visit was designed for the ladies of the house, as well as the mistress of it. If there is a visitor with the family whom you wished to see, a separate card should be left for that person, naming him or her to the servant. A card should also be left for the host, if the call was designed as a family matter, but more than three are not left at one house.
"From three to six are proper calling hours, and a visit may be from five minutes to half an hour, never longer, unless with a very intimate friend. A gentleman leaves his umbrella in the hall, but carries hat and cane with him, keeping the former in his left hand, never venturing to lay it on the table, or rack, unless invited to do so by the lady of the house. Her not doing so is a sign that it is not convenient for her to prolong his call."
"A soft hat is tolerated, but the dress hat is usually carried."
~ 'The Home Cook Book', 1877 (Hunter, Rose and Co, Toronto.)
I once wore a dress hat while paying calls, and boy, did I never live that mistake down.

CHINO HILLS – City residents and officials this week suffered another setback in their fight against the expansion of electric tranmission towers through the city.
A San Bernardino County Superior Court judge threw out the city's lawsuit against Southern California Edison that tried to stop the placement of high-voltage, wind-energy towers through the city.
Judge Keith D. Davis ruled in West Valley Superior Court that the California Public Utilities Commission has exclusive jurisdiction regarding the route used by Edison.
The towers that would go through Chino Hills are part of a $1.8 billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, to bring wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles basin as part of a state mandate to use more sustainable energy.
Residents have voiced concern that the 200-foot towers could fall on or near homes during windy weather or an earthquake. The planned towers would replace inactive Edison power lines that are half the height.
The state PUC in December sided with Edison's proposed route through the city as more viable than the city's proposed alternate route, which would have cut through the Chino Hills State Park.
City officials said Wednesday they would appeal.
"It truly is a blow to our community," Councilman Ed Graham said. "The lawsuit really is our last-ditch effort to stop the project. I'm pretty sure after we review what happened here, we'll be appealing the court case as soon as possible."
The lawsuit was filed in county Superior Court by the city. It argued that easements in the city are too narrow for the power corridor.
Residents have expressed concern about an aesthetic degradation of city views, reduction in home values, noise as well as the possibility of adverse health impacts from electromagnetic fields produced by the line.
Annie Wilson, who resides in the Summit Ranch neighborhood, said she was shocked to hear that the lawsuit was rejected.
"This means a small group of people have decided they're going to ram their agenda though our town, and the health of the people in Chino Hills is being sacrificed for the benefit of the California Public Utility Commission agenda," Wilson said.
Edison officials have started relocating cell phone towers away from the easement work.
Construction is expected to start later this year and last until 2013, Edison construction manager Sandi Blain said.
In addition to the lawsuit, Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, has introduced a bill in Sacramento that would ensure the "monster electric towers approved for use in residential areas by the Public Utilities Commission last year never cast a shadow on the homes of residents."
"It is unacceptable to make the safety and security of California residents secondary to our power needs," Hagman said.
The bill will be considered in the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Commerce on Monday.

Shatter Me
7:00 pm 15 November 2011
So this story is A-MAZ-ING! Before I dive into that let me do a short quick recap of the story....
It starts off with a young woman named Juliette who has been locked in a room for almost a full year. She gets one small window, a four walls, and one of those walls is her door with air holes. It's gray and dreary. No animals outside, no birds flying in the sky, and the grass doesn't really have that color anymore. The Reestablishment treats her and everyone else like property in this world. It's a really sad life to live in. But then Juliette's life gets thrown upside down, she experience things she hasn't in all her life, and she finally learns the truth about herself and the Reestablishment's true motivation for the world.
This story captivated me. It was like a beautifully choreographed dance on a broadway stage, watching that final number that has fireworks going off in the background while everyone is in dazzling sparkling outfits. You couldn't look away and had to watch it till the last note was sung. I was exhausted last night, couldn't sleep and finished the last few chapters of the book. I don't regret it one bit!
I'm in awe of her connection with the character Adam. I can't tell you too much, but they both have a profound effect on one another from the moment they met. He makes her come alive and she softens him to a human form of existence inside again.
The magic of how evil the Reestablishment is truly makes me think of how reckless power can be in any hands with the wrong ideas. It felt like a communist regin in charge of the people. Their way or the highway type of thinking. They shoot down people if they don't fall in like to their way of thinking. Kind of sick, don't you think? Makes me glad to live in the world that I do live in. But it was so intense to be reading it and live in Juliette's shoes for the story. I loved every moment of it!
Then the best parts were the moments that felt like poetry. Some of the most amazing words, lines, paragraphs I've ever read in all my years of living! Here is a short sample from the book:
❝ I only know now that the scientists are wrong. The world is flat. I know because I was tossed right off the edge and I've been trying to hold on for seventeen years. I've been trying to climb back up for seventeen years but it's nearly impossible to beat gravity when no one is willing to give you a hand. ❞
Mafi wrote Juliette in such a way, it made me wish I could write as beautifully as she does. Even if it's for a moment, because it was so woven perfectly with the story, the tone, mood, even the setting; the words she used made me feel alive more with each chapter. I'm so thankful for writers like her. They reinvigorate the sense of reading a book and make you ache for the next installment of the series.
Oh this book... I would recommend it to everyone, more so women because of the romance aspect dripping in through out the book. But it's beautifully done the romance, so no complaints there hehe.
Anyway, the book just literally came out yesterday, so if you've gotten a copy, you won't be sorry. If you have yet to receive on in the mail don't worry, it's worth the wait. And if you haven't bought one yet? Well depending on if your pockets are tight right now, but in the long run it's a great investment.
This is one of those books, if I could, I would throw down 10 hearts for the love of this book!

Hi everyone!
Welcome to part 2 of my little series Granada in under 1,000 words.
One of my favourite things to do (anywhere in the world) is go to cafés, bars and restaurants. Nothing beats sitting down for coffee and cake, tapas and drinks or a good meal out. I am sure I share this hobby with many people!
La Qarmita
In my first few weeks in Granada, I discovered the cutest little café in a side street called "La Qarmita". It became my regular café to go in the mornings to read and relax.
One entire wall in the café is covered in books that you can borrow while in the café and read. They have many different categories and even an English section! It's such a nice relaxed and comfortable vibe in this café, and the cappuccino is the far the best I've found in Granada.
(Side note: if you're a coffee snob like me, no coffee here will satisfy you. I don't know why they simply can't make good coffee here in Spain, but it's always either watery or burnt. Don't even get me started on how they foam their milk.)
Unfortunately La Qarmita shut its doors for good a few weeks ago, meaning no more cozy coffee/reading sessions here for me. La Qarmita, you will be missed sorely L
|Hot damn, that cappuccino.
Bohemiá Jazz Café
Another fantastic bar/café in Granada is the Bohemiá Jazz Café. Located in Plaza de los Lobos, it doesn't look like much from the outside. In fact, it doesn't really look like anything. Blacked out windows make it look permanently closed (and slightly dodgy), but once you open that door, you're in for a magical surprise.
|The interior of Bohemiá Jazz Cafe.
Aside from its fantastic décor, the drinks are pretty scrumptious. You can buy a standard beer or coffee like any other bar, but the real treat comes in the form of lots of chocolate and cream. There are so many different dessert-style drinks you can order, hot and cold. (Pro-tip: they're all AMAZING.)
One of my ultimate favourite things about Granada is tapas.
Now my definition of tapas my vary from yours as, before I came to Granada, I thought of tapas as slightly overpriced mini meals that serve the purpose of sharing (but always leave you hungry and wanting more). In Andalucía, tapas are small complimentary plates of food that come with every drink you order.
Yup, you heard me correctly, they're FREE. Free food = a happy Ellora.
The size and quality of tapas vary from bar to bar, but if you know where to go, you can fill up on amazing tapas for the small price of a few drinks. My 3 favourite tapas bars in Granada would have to be Los Manueles, Bodegas Castañeda and La Antigualla.
Los Manueles
I have found that Los Manueles consistently maintains a high quality of tapas, with varying dishes for every drink you order. The berenjena fritas con miel (deep fried eggplant with honey – don't knock it 'til you try it) at Los Manueles are divine.
|Berenjena fritas con miel <3 <3 <3
Bodegas Castañedas
Bodegas Castañedas is a typical Spanish tapas bar. You fight for a table or even a place to stand and Jamón (cured Spanish ham) hangs above your head. This bar has delicious, authentic Spanish paella as the first tapa during the day. Well worth a visit!
La Antigualla
The other place worth mentioning is La Antigualla. There are 2 bars, both on Calle Elvira (ridiculously close to each other). The tapas here are much more about quantity rather than quality. Don't get me wrong, they're still pretty yum, but more along the lines of greasy burgers and fries rather than traditional Spanish food. The reason I really like this tapas bar is that you practically get a whole meal as a tapa. The portion sizes are very generous, and for this reason it's unsurprisingly popular with students.
I do have to mention the weird and random but kind of cool décor that this bar sports. It's has a medieval theme, with suits of armor, over-the-top chandeliers and flickering "torch" lights. Now I'm wishing I had a photo of the inside to show you – you have to see it to fully understand!
Thanks for reading, until next time!

Sometimes whenever it is too late to go out for supper, I would cook Fried Maggi mee for my kids. I don't really like to let them eat too much artificial flavours so I only use very little of the flavouring powder provider in the packet. Ingredients One packet of Maggi Mee Garlic, 3 pcs, chopped finely Maggi Mee, blanced in hot water until it turned soft Egg, 1 pc A little flavouring powdered stock (Comes with the instant noodles) Dark soya sauce, 1/3 teaspoon Light soya sauce, 1/3 teaspoon Sautéed garlic in a little hot oil until fragrant. Add in the mee and fry for a short while. Add a little more oil and then put in the egg. Add dark and light soya sauce. Then add the favouring. Garnish with spring onions and serve.

Its the week before Christmas and still mum hasn't arranged with us if we are to see her or not.
She has been texting a lot and they are pretty mad texts but we have been mostly ignoring them or just giving short answers and not pandering to her.
Yesterday Twin recieves a text from mum - can you call me when it is convienient we need to arrange Christmas (only 2 days to go).
Twin calls and it turns out mum is still insisting she has winter vomiting bug. She has this bug but can stay on the phone to big sis for over an hour with no symptoms. Because of the made up sickness mum cannot see us on Christmas (I am cheering at this point - thanks Santa)
What we are going to do is go to her house on Christmas morning and there will be black bin bags (yep are presents are in bin bags) which we can pick up and leave hers. She will not touch us or breathe on us or anything -now if we can only get her to not talk to us.
Then we go back to the house and skype her so she can see us opening our presents.
So we get our presents and barely have to see her - this works for me.
We also have to get the presents Big Sis left with mum and then bring them to dads so she can see us opening them. Note to Big Sis - never leave anything at mums.
So Christmas is all arranged. However mum thinks it is necessary to text me multiple times to confirm. She has forgotten I am at work ( I only told her 7 or 8 times) and when I tell her she wants to make a new law that nice people don't have to work Christmas. More text ramblings each followed by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (more than 3 is the sign of a disturbed mind). I end up not replying any more - the last one I couldn't have replied to any way. However it does not bode well for tomorrow or the rest of the christmas period.
However this means mimimal Christmas contact with mum (only the usual 3 or 4 calls) and then I can ignore her for the rest of the year.

This calculator will enable you to check the month-to-month cost amounts for an interest-solely mortgage and a principal-curiosity mortgage. Briefly, curiosity-only mortgages are a bad thought for almost all homebuyers. If it is later than your anticipated retirement age then you've gotten a choice – ask the lender to shorten the term in order that it ends if you end up still in work (this will mean greater month-to-month repayments) or depart it the place it's and recognise that you'll nonetheless be paying your mortgage out of retirement revenue.
That's largely why interest-only mortgages have decrease funds than repayment mortgages. Still, some shoppers do make interest-only mortgages work for them. This isn't an issue if all those clients have sufficient compensation plans, however might cause issues for each lenders and their debtors if a large number of prospects are unable to repay their mortgage. Previously, lenders would enable borrowers to depend on the possibility of a future windfall resembling an inheritance or bonus, however only a few will settle for these now.
Part of this goes towards the interest charged by your lender and half goes towards repaying the money you've got borrowed. In a speech in Sydney, Dr Kent said solely a "small minority" of consumers would have trouble paying their mortgage when their interest-solely time period expired. Interest Fee – The amount charged, expressed as a share of principal, by a lender to a borrower for using property.
As you don't pay back your mortgage debt you are, in impact, renting your home from your lender. "Hodge Lifetime is a specialist in the equity release market however has recognised that a lifetime mortgage may not be for all. It is a difficulty that's changing into more prevalent within the wider mortgage sector, and both lenders and the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are monitoring this and are encouraging debtors to engage with their lender.
WARNING: The price of your month-to-month repayments may enhance.
They have been the villains of the housing crash. With an adjustable-charge mortgage, interest-solely and choice-ARM monthly funds can increase, even during the I-payment or option interval. The regulator mentioned that lenders try to speak with their prospects to seek out out about their compensation strategies and to supply assistance where wanted. While not for everyone, an curiosity-only mortgage provides a number of benefits for some debtors. As a result of the initial interest-only payments are so small, homebuyers with very low revenue may still afford quite costly houses.
Nevertheless, we're very concerned that a big number of curiosity-solely prospects may not be capable of repay the capital on the finish of the mortgage and be liable to losing their houses. So if you want to personal a property, but you wish to preserve the repayments low, then let us guide you thru the interest only mortgage maze by inserting all of the deals in a single place. Tracker mortgage rates of interest go up and down with the Financial institution of England base fee.
NerdWallet has picked a few of the greatest mortgage lenders for people seeking interest-solely mortgages to assist you discover the one which's proper for your wants. When you were slightly more optimistic about growth charges and assumed 5%, your savings would add £171 to the monthly price of the mortgage, however this is able to still imply that the interest-solely mortgage plus financial savings vehicle would cost £three extra a month than the reimbursement mortgage.
Before you apply for an curiosity solely or Part & Half mortgage you'll need to have a clearly understood and credible reimbursement technique in place for the curiosity only part of the mortgage.

Good to read about something which invokes fond childhood memories. We had a house in daryaganj close to moti mahal and when we visited in the summer invariably would end up eating their kebabs earlier as dinner and then in my teen years as an evening snack.

It's very interestig to read about the Moti Mahal article which always talks about Kundan Lal Gujral, however, if someone really dig up the reality its a bit different. There was another partner of Moti Mahal (Kundan Lal Gujral's best friend - Kundan Lal Jagi) who is still alive and living in New Friends Colong, New Delhi. He is 85 years old now and really doesn't talk much about the rest as he really doesn't care what the media says.
After the partition Kundan Lal Gujral and Kundan Lal Jaggi came to India and started Moti Mahal together. They have always been best friends till the end and were equal partners of the place.
If you really want to know more about Moti Mahal, please contact the real living legend of Moti Mahal who lives in New Friends Colony, New Delhi.
As a matter of fact if you ever ask anyone in Daryaganj who is Kundan Lal Jaggi they all will tell you about him.
If you want his address please leave me our email adress and I shall do the needful.

There are a lot of stories related to the legacy of the legendary restaurant " moti mahal " but they are not all true. Once and for all,to put all souls in peace,here are the true facts of the birth of Moti Mahal. Moti Mahal was established in India after partition by three entrepreneurs namely LALA THAKUR DAS MAGO , KUNDAN LAL JAGGI AND KUNDAN LAL GUJRAL . They were all equal partners in this establishment.
The fact that there is MENTION OF ONLY ONE PARTNER namely KUNDAN LAL GUJRAL,is despicably against the spirit of sportsmanship. We would like to put on record the true facts that the founders of Moti Mahal daryaganj were as named above but NOT as stated always - JUST KUNDAN LAL GUJRAL. We would really respect the mention of the names of all equal founders who were behind the creation and success of the legend that is moti mahal.
For further details please contact me on my email ID- firstname.lastname@example.com

Thank you Samil for sharing this wonderful article.
just to add...at the time of partition, Mr Gujral came to India with his dear friend and co-worker Mr Kundan Lal Jaggi.
Together, along with another gentleman Mr Thakur Das Mago, they opened this great temple of culinary delight.
By the grace of God, Mr K L Jaggi is alive and healthy and staying with his family at New Friends Colony New Delhi.
It will be interesting for you to speak to him and add some more interesting facts from history.

I know this is half truth.. Kundan Lal Jaggi.. was co founder of Moti Mahal.. There were three partners Vade bau ji (Mr Kundal Lal Gujral) chhote Bau Ji (Kundan Lal Jaggi) and Bhapa Nath.. who was uncle of Kundan Lal Jaggi.. after few yards toward Ghoda bagh there is Building of Mr Kundal Lal Jaggi called Swarana Niwas.. Late wife of Kundal Lal Jaggi..
Kundan Lal Jaggi is still alive and the truth can be checked.. They two Kundan Lal Jaggi and Kundan Lal Gujral both were so near to each other.. I met both of them But I surprise to read all one sided story.. It is almost a sin to hide the fact.. and could not think what they achieve my hiding the fact.. I am sure even Kundan lal Gujral may not like it knowing the untruth story of Moti Mahal.. My tribute to Kundan Lal Gujral ji.. the most visionary person and most respected Kundal Lal Jaggi who is honest, hardworking and spiritual person..

Why do you give players training and money to play?
We lover poker, just like you do. Every player needs to sign a contract and will give us a share of their winnings for a specific amount of games. The exact numbers here are depending on your previous results and experience and your initial stakes. In return the player gets a world class education and we take all the risk.
How much time will I spend on this project?
We are focusing on players who are taking Spin & Go's seriously and therefore can commit a lot of this time in this project. This is important, because sufficient profit can only be generated through a high volume and a lot of study hours on top.
Can I still play on other rooms and other games?
With your own bankroll you are allowed to play other games on other rooms as long as you not playing any kind of jackpot SNGs. However, we expect our players to play an agreed minimum of Spins every month.
How much bankroll will I receive?
We will always provide you with a sufficient bankroll to comfortable play at your stakes. In practice you will receive 30-40 buy-Ins as first bankroll and reloads of 30 buy-Ins in case you are going through a down swing.
On what limit will I start playing?
We have been thinking about this topic a lot and we came to the conclusion that it is best for most players to start on a low limit and move up the stakes quickly. It takes some time to get used to our approach and it is best to have the basic right. We are reviewing your progress every 500 Spins and our coaches will send you to higher limits every time your EV results are good enough. You will not stay on the same limit for long.
How do I get my bankroll? When can I withdraw profits?
We use Neteller for most transactions. You will receive your bankroll after you got accepted and were able to pass a quiz that shows that you have studied your first SpinLegends strategy. You can contact us to withdraw your winnings at any time. The only condition for cashing out winnings is that you have won more than 60 buy-Ins at this point. Also we review your results in the end of every month and might suggest a cash out from our end.
What happens if I lose my bankroll?
In this case you will receive reloads and enter a make up phase. This means, you have to recover your initial bankroll and reloads first. After that you can make winnings again. In the make up phase 100% of your winnings are used to recover your bankroll and previous losses.
Do I have to buy PT4?
At the moment you become member of our gold team, we will provide PT4 to you. We will pay the bill. More infos on PokerTracker4
How do you track my results?
In the end of every month we will ask you send us a PokerStars player audit. This audit shows us all the Spin & Go's that you have played.
Feel free to ask us more questions in this thread. In case your question is of general interest, we will add it here or answer to you in this thread.
Interested? Apply now!

Media Advisory, Thursday, September 17, 2015, 1 p.m., Toronto Police Service Headquarters, Auditorium, Chief Saunders to Provide Update to Toronto Police Services Board on Justice Iacobucci/Coroner's Inquest Recommendations
Wednesday, September 16, 2015 - 4:45 PM
Corporate Communications: 416-808-7100
On Thursday, September 17, 2015, at 1 p.m., in the Auditorium of Headquarters, Chief Mark Saunders will table the following items of interest at the monthly meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board.
1) Update on the Body Worn Camera Pilot Project
In response to a request from the Board to provide regular updates on the status of the pilot project, Chief Saunders will present an overview of the implementation, including feedback from the community and officers. The Chief will also address the Board's request to consider expanding the use of body worn cameras during non-arrest, non-detention interactions.
In May 2015, the Service launched the Body Worn Camera Pilot Project in four units/divisions across the city. About 100 officers were trained and equipped with different pieces of body worn camera technology.
See previous story.
Chief Saunders will continue to provide the Board with updates on the pilot until its final assessment in 2016.
To join the conversation, follow #TOCopCams on Twitter, or complete the community survey.
2) Update on the Implementation of the Recommendations made in Justice Iacobucci's Report and in the Coroner's Inquest Report concerning the deaths of Jardine-Douglas, Klibingaitis, and Eligon.
At the request of the Board, Chief Saunders will be providing a comprehensive update on the implementation of recommendations specific to the Service's mental health strategy.
In 2013, former Chief Bill Blair commissioned retired Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci to review the Service's use-of-force, specifically as it related to interactions with people in crisis.
His final report and recommendations were presented to the Service in July 2014. Since then, 79 of the 84 recommendations have been implemented.
In 2014, a Coroner's Inquest into the deaths of Reyal Jardine-Douglas, Sylvia Klibingaitis, and Michael Eligon made 74 recommendations, 46 dedicated to addressing how the Service deals with people in crisis.
Since then, 45 of the 46 recommendations, as well as nine that were not assigned to the Service, have been implemented.
A thorough update on each recommendation and video messages from Deputy Chief Mike Federico can be found here.
Chief Saunders will be available to the media after the Board meeting.
For more information about these and other items before the Board, please contact Meaghan Gray, Corporate Communications, at 416-808-7095.

text: dakor, I can understand why Barnes didn't want to sell you any of their PROPRIETARY coating. They spent a lot of their own money developing that coating and the application process to offset the complaints about coppering in barrels from shooting Barnes bullets. I'm sure that they have at least one patent on it for the chemistry and probably more for the application process. The application process does involve baking in some form after the coating is applied. It's an industrial process not at all oriented to a DIY at home kit process. Now, if you want to consider something better than moly and without the filth of moly then look at this link: http://www.varminthunters.com/fastex/ I use this on my Barnes non-TSX bullets and it does a good job of curtailing fouling as well as making the bullets more slippery. It goes on clear with no muss, no fuss and virtually no mess. They also have a barrel conditioner and a moly remover as well. Just trying to be helpful.... Regards.

Ebenezer Jones (1820 - 1860), poet, wrote a good deal of poetry of very unequal merit, but was considered a very minor poet of little contemporary importance. His only work was Studies of Sensation and Event (1843) which was so poorly received by critics and the poetic community that he didn't publish any more poetry. He was befriended by Browning and Rossetti and written about by poet John Betjeman in his piece "An Incident in the Early Life of Ebenezer Jones, Poet, 1828". His most widely appreciated poems were "To the Snow," "To Death," and "When the World is Burning."

Once rail was assured through Cranbrook, people bought lots, built buildings and started businesses. The Leitch sawmill had been set up in 1878 near the Baker property. Now another, later to become Tembec, started in 1898. A third built the millpond below today's Pine Crest and set up in 1899. Before the end of 1898, businessmen had formed a Board of Trade. The "population" totalled 75. In 1899, the Herald reported that half the male population of Cranbrook went to Fort Steele to attend the St. Patrick's Day ball, but only one wagon was needed to transport them. By the time the first train rolled into town in September of 1898, there was a Mrs. Donahue's boarding house/hotel, the frame for the Leitch brothers' store, the hotel stables, and a blacksmith shop, as well as the Cranbrook Hotel. People began building residences as the century turned, so that in 1902, the population was pushing -----. Fort Steele no longer waited for the spur line they had confidently anticipated, and many of its merchants moved to Cranbrook. J.P. Fink, owner of the main department store in Fort Steele, opened in Cranbrook in 1898. When the Customs staff came to town in 1897, they set up in the second floor of the Cranbrook Hotel and on December 25, served the first public Christmas dinner in the settlement. Who was there to eat it, you may ask? The men who worked at the lumber mill. Col. Baker's coup, the terms he got when he won a charter for the Crows Nest Pass Railway, assured Cranbrook's future. Fort Steele was undeniably the biggest settlement in the East Kootenay, but without rail it had to defer to Cranbrook, particularly after the riverboats succumbed to rail's competitive advantage. The engineers who built the rail wanted the divisional point at Wardner, but the agreement said Cranbrook. Wardner was one of three towns early speculators had seen as probable big centres. The others were Fernie and Moyie. Cranbrook, as a look down main street would confirm, was barely there before the railway came through, even though it did have the advantage of being a crossroads for land-based travel by horse. Once it was the divisional point on the railway, it attracted services for the rail employees who lived in the town, businesses that served the companies who extracted resources, and investors with an eye to the future.
White women had been coming into the East Kootenay since 1857, but they were a small percentage of the population. However, they moved into Cranbrook in a surprisingly short time after the town was identified. Some, but not all, of the intermarriage between white men and Indian women was precluded by importing European or Eastern Canadian women as wives, or, surprisingly often, by young men marrying the daughters of the older settlers. While the white men dug and hewed and talked their living, the women told the stories in letters, established the cultural events, nursed the sick, taught the children and raised their families in tents, hotels or houses. Intermingling between the immigrants and the Ktunaxa was minimal, and mainly for trade.
There is some question about the first white baby born in Cranbrook. Some say she was born August 24, 1898 to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Turnbull. He was the CPR construction superintendent, and the baby was born in a railway car set up as their dwelling. Others say the car was not within the townsite limits, and the John Leask baby, Lottie, born early in 1899 in their home on Garden Avenue, was the first. The Turnbull baby was given a Cranbrook lot as a birth gift by Col. Baker and one of his business partners. A later story says the first funeral in town was that of the baby and its mother. However, another story says the first death was that of a woman, Anna Brown, who died of pneumonia in a tent late in 1898. The first marriage was late in 1898; the happy couple were Mr. and Mrs. John Hutchinson. The first murder victim was Edward Ryan, the builder of the Cranbrook Hotel, shot by P. Aste, who was sentenced to death but later had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, making one think that the circumstances, like much else in our past, were not clearly black and white. It has been said that when the cemetery was laid out, the first interment, in April of 1899, was of a suicide, a man who jumped to his death in front of a train just west of Elko. He was not the first man buried in Cranbrook, however. Fred Seelye, the first Customs Officer, who came in 1874, died in 1876 and was buried near the corner of the Baker property.
To say "first" means that many followed. Births, marriages and deaths marked the lives of those who built the community. The Oddfellows Lodge established a chapter in 1899. On February 5, 1900, more than a score of men left the East Kootenay to fight in the Boer War as No. 1 Troop, C Squadron of the Strathcona Horse. Most of them returned in June of 1901. By 1900, Baker Street had been graded. By 1904, the government offices were moved to Cranbrook from Fort Steele. The Cranbrook Herald, after listing all of the activities that the eight staff members dealt with, observed, "The revenue is larger from this district than any other single government agency." The Fink Mercantile department store and a number of other merchants and professionals had preceded the government in moving from Fort Steele to the new, booming railway town.
Some darnfool editor would usually set up a press and run a newspaper in any new town in nineteenth century B.C. Fred Simpson set up in Cranbrook to print The Herald in March of 1898. There were five women in town at the time. A druggist came to town to set up a drugstore, but he had to work at the Leitch mill for his sustenance. There were, as one historian described it, no sick people and no ladies to buy toilet goods. The druggist later became the postmaster, too, but there were no mails "except such as we could get through the grace of Fort Steele and the Good Lord, not even a stage weekly or semi-weekly." The telephone line was hooked up to the telegraph, but the telephone line was "down most of the time, and the telegraph works only when it has nothing else to do." Simpson watched the arrival of rail, telegraph and telephone, banks, postal service, doctors, pharmacists, and schools. And he boosted Cranbrook in competition with Fort Steele, Moyie, Wardner, Fernie and lesser places.
Doctors came with the building of rail and stayed to staff the hospitals created at the construction sites. An outbreak of typhoid in 1898 prompted the community to build a hospital at St. Eugene Mission, five miles from Cranbrook, because the scanty resources afforded the CPR doctors and the few rooms that Father Coccola could spare at his Mission simply could not handle the numbers. Sister Superior Melitine and four or five nuns of the Sisters of Providence came, too, as the first nurses. Their St. Eugene hospital was outgrown, rebuilt at the Mission, outgrown again and replaced by the St. Eugene hospital in Cranbrook in 1901. Sister Mary of Nazareth and six nuns of the Sisters of Providence ran the hospital with the help of the Hospital Aid, organized as the hospital was built. The Aid ladies sewed sheets, raised money, organized other volunteers and generally enhanced the services to the sick. The Aid always worked closely with the Sisters. At the opening ceremonies of the hospital in 1901, the president of the Hospital Aid said with conviction, "When the sisters take hold of a work, they never fail to take it to a successful conclusion." The Hospital Aid had 110 members.
The three storey hospital, a second school, the Cranbrook Electric Light Company's building, a slaughter house and cold storage plant, mill expansions and upgrades, as well as significant residential building had brought building permits in the city in 1900 to $100,000. To compare, in 1964, when money was worth about one-tenth or less of what it was worth in 1900, building permits were fifteen times greater, at $1.5 million.
In the Cranbrook area, the Ktunaxa people outnumbered the insurgents until the turn of the century. Their natural patterns disrupted, they had begun, late in the 1890s, to live on the reserves that had been determined in the mid 1880s. A report to the Commissioner of Lands and Works by an emissary sent from Victoria to advise on setting up reserves had decided not to consult the Ktunaxa because there was an uneasiness between the races. The writer also noted that regular contact with other Ktunaxa people in the US could prove difficult for the government in its task because of the generous reserves and settlements the US government had awarded the natives there. When reserves were legislated in 1884, the chariness and suspicion of the report's writer was reflected in the size of the reserves--they were about one-tenth the size of those in the U.S.-and in the absence of much other support to the Ktunaxa in Canada. The reserve system forced the Ktunaxa into agriculture that had never been part of their culture. Because of the intrusion of the 49th parallel, traditional use was not observed. Chief David of Tobacco Plains, noting that where his people lived was above the 49th parallel, where they hunted was below, told the government he could not live with his bedroom separated from his kitchen. Besides this, the people suffered from diseases they had never before encountered: typhoid, measles, small pox, tuberculosis and venereal diseases. Their numbers began to fall as the whites' increased.
None of this new society would have run without the labourers in the mills, the mines and the small businesses. Chinese labourers brought in to build rail, stayed to pan the creeks and provide basic services in the towns. Cranbrook had a significant Chinese population that was confined to the area on Sixth and Seventh Avenues south of Baker St. Indo-Canadians, Japanese and blacks diversified the visible minorities who lived here. A traditional Hindu funeral rite, with cremation of the corpse, caused a great stir in the community. Racial prejudice thrived. Labour union organization recognized the inequities of owners and workers, and there were union actions in the mines and on the railways before the turn of the century. Nevertheless, most families in the town owned their own house. From 1899, children could attend a public school. Five churches early established a place and a presence, Presbyterian, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and Anglican.
N.A. Wallinger came to Cranbrook in 1904 as Mines Recorder and Gold Commissioner. On weekends, he would walk home to Fort Steele and walk back Sunday night or Monday morning. When he and his family finally moved to Cranbrook, Mrs. Wallinger, an accomplished violinist who had been trained as a graduate of the London Academy of Music, started an orchestra and organized musical events involving song, dance and instrumental music. She was later part of the movie theatre orchestra that played for the silent movies.

He needs haters. He needs critics. He needs anti fans. He needs all of them who are against him, so that he can shut them up with his replies on the pitch. Yup you know who I'm talking about… the king of 21st century football — CR7.
Probably Cristiano Ronaldo is only person in the football history who is criticized for scoring and not scoring golazos. Whenever he scores goals the team automatically becomes a small team… according to some self proclaimed football experts who started watching football recently. Quoting the Sergio Ramos Statement "CR7 scores only against small teams, because he can't score an own goal and no team is bigger than Real Madrid "… That's a fitting reply to all the haters from el capitán.
And I am witnessing debates on who should win the ballon dor ( Yup not the FIFA Ballon dor, they got separated ICYMI). These are meaning less sessions and any living being who follows football know CR7 deserves it hands down.

I have been working on my client project with manipulating to show only parent category in footer section , so I'm just search in wordpress docs and google, but I have not found any good tutorial or example.
It is tough work, when it comes to manipulating categories, especially when it comes to identifying the difference between a "Parent" and "Child" category.
WordPress have a "depth" parameter, which allows you to pull out ONLY parent or child categories. However, it still isn't flexible enough because you can only use it with limited functions.
Here is Code:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=order&title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

The above code will list all parent categories as a link in a list format.
Now this will let you display only the parent category in your footer.
For example see the image in the example:
But if that is all you're after, that's cool. But If you want more flexibility with categories, that won't help.
I hope that's been useful. 🙂

'Hot off the grill' was something I was glued on to for a good three years while it aired on The Food Network in Manila. Bobby, I think, is the male counterpart of Martha Stewart, the Tom Cruise of the foodlandia. I particularly like his ability to give zest to an otherwise ordinary meal. His other shows 'Boy meets Grill' and 'Iron America' are likewise as engaging. I literally drop the world when he's on. His food is simply yum-o.
Sometime last year, I had the chance to be in NYC, Bobby was on my 'hitlist' along with Wolfgang Puck, Rachael Ray and Mario Batali. T'was awesome realizing that I was actually a subway away from these culinary rockstars!
Time for fantasies to meet reality, right? Whatever! I suddenly just found myself dining at BOLO, one of Bobby's restaurants. For a moment there, I thought I was dreaming.
I mean, I've seen Bobby Flay do that hummus pizza with basil and chicken roast on TV and woahness! There I was sampling it! Is that cool or what? Thanks to Jake's cousin for taking us there! A forever and a day is not enough to thank her…

We had an amazing time at Vicere! We felt like we had stepped back in time and into a prince's home. It is palatial and luxe, absolutely gorgeous. The ambiance is so lovely, overlooking the lake. It is so calm and peaceful.
The nicest, most well kept hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. The staff are incredibly attentive and personable. The grounds are beautiful and the views stunning.
This is a beautiful intimate property. We stayed in the spacious Torre Apartment, and loved the Lake views and privacy. The most outstanding feature of this small hotel is the devoted staff.

Finding the right single Asian woman is a really little bit difficult but if you're persistent in your efforts you will have the chance to meet a truly superb dating partner. You should please note there are some rules when it comes to seeing a single Asian woman.
This does not indicate you have to date an Asian woman for 6 months or get married before you discover enjoy the pleasures of the girl's company but just bear in mind it is different and it might take a little longer especially if you aren't Asian. She may want you to meet her family first. This happened to me in Japan and boy was I ever shocked by way of that event but what a story for another day.
If you do get the opportunity to have your Cookware woman cook for you premature in the relationship, take the woman's up on it and come to feel confident that she has a concern in you. Finding a single Asian woman is one also have to get her to make sure you want you. By following on from the rules outline above you've got a better chance of not only getting to date a great Asian girl but also creating a relationship that will last for a long time.
The pioneer rule is that they are not like women you have dated just before. They tend to be shy to new men they encounter. The best way to break the ice is some pleasant conversation over a cup of coffee or a nice lunch.
Let her know you will intentions by the casual contact… something like brushing your hands by means of hers. This worked very well for me especially with the terminology barrier. You have to let even more of the body language express the feelings. Also, please remember that if your single Asian girl does not speak much British that talking slower or simply louder does not help the woman's to understand. Draw a picture or better yet… learn the speech.
You want to follow the usual rules of dating here like opening up doors and being a good listener but you also desire to break things all the way up a bit with some good humor. Make sure she is receptive to this fact. You can usually tell by her body language. Is she leaning into you whenever you talk and paying attention and are her arms crossed and gets easily sidetracked. This will help you determine right now if a second date definitely will lead somewhere.
They learn at a extremely early age to do his or her's part within the relationship and pride themselves in pouring their partner, but do not think you can get a single Asian girl to be your slave or simply something like that. They perspective a relationship as a enterprise and they are very loyal to your good man. By in large they are great cooks and like to keep a great orderly home.
Rule number three is to be patient. You have to remember that Hard anodized cookware women are very family driven. They are not the kind of girls who usually go out and sleep with a guy the first night they meet people. They tend to be more traditional when ever dating.
Now that you get it past the breaking of the ice, the next rule to note is to not tell the girl's how beautiful she is. I'm sure it can be hard to withstand but don't act like that dog that humps workers' leg. This is a big turnoff for most women but if you would like that single Asian partner to be yours, you have to be awesome.
By landing a good Asian partner you will find they are very kind hearted and warm. Additionally some of the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen. Don't let most of the gorgeous good looks deceive you. These are some of the most down to earth women I have ever accomplished.

At least six decades' worth of die-hard Bulldog fans were waiting to be "set off," as the fight song goes, Friday under the lights at Bulldog Bowl.
They didn't have to wait long.
With a huge Homecoming crowd on hand to roar their approval, the Artesia High School football team made a marquee-worthy opening statement against the Wildcats of Deming, as junior quarterback Taylor Null found senior slot Ethan Duff for a 69-yard touchdown on the game's first play from scrimmage.
From there, it was all orange, as the 'Dogs romped to a 49-6 victory over the 'Cats that places them at 4-0 on the season.
"We were really pleased with our performance last night," coach Rex Henderson said Saturday. "Coming out and getting after them, scoring on the first offensive play, really sets the tone for the game and puts you in the direction you want to be going with your team. We were really excited about that."
The Big Orange offense would go on to cap all but one of their eight drives on the night with a touchdown, while the Orange Crush allowed just a single fourth-quarter score, forcing six punts, one turnover on downs, and a fumble.
The Bulldogs were able to breach the checkerboard twice more in the opening quarter of play Friday, tacking on their second TD on another single-play series, this time a 52-yard catch-and-run from Null to Chaney Hardt at the 4:58 mark.
The 'Dogs then beat the clock with another Null-to-Duff connection, this time from six yards out, to go up 21-0 with three seconds left in the first.
The Crush would hand the ball right back to start the second, as a fumble by QB Cristian Metz was recovered by Eddie Pando at the Wildcat 39-yard line, and following six plays up the short field, senior running back Isaiah Weideman darted in from the six to put Artesia on top 28-0.
The boys in orange would keep the big plays coming following a Wildcats three-and-out, as Null added a 62-yard score to his tally with a pass to Dominic Madrid, setting the mercy-rule clock in motion with 6:04 to go in the half.
"Deming did some things differently than they had done before, trying to make progress over where they'd been, so we had to make some adjustments both offensively and defensively," Henderson said. "So after the first couple of series, I felt like we really did a good job of making those modifications and playing good football."
Artesia elected to start the third quarter with their second-string offense, who kept the scoring streak going under the arm of sophomore quarterback Trent Taylor, who found Hardt from the 19 to make it 42-0 with 4:18 left in the period.
The 'Cats carried their lone touchdown drive over into the fourth quarter, marching 80 yards on 14 plays, the last of which – a four-yard plunge by Armando Perales III – prevented the shutout. The PAT was blocked, however, leaving Deming with six, and the 'Dogs would follow with their fourth one-play series of the night, an 80-yard TD sprint by Weideman that rounded out the final, 49-6, with 5:26 left in the game.
"I thought our two's did a great job last night," said Henderson. "We gave up the one touchdown but then we also forced a punt with our second defense, and our second offense was able to score a touchdown on one of their possessions. So we were pleased that we executed as well as we did all the way around."
Artesia finished with 415 total yards of offense Friday to Deming's 197. Null was 6-12 passing for 206 yards and four touchdowns, Weideman ran for 89 yards on three carries and two touchdowns, and Duff (2-75), Madrid (3-72) and Hardt (2-71) led the receiving corps.
The Bulldogs will now begin preparations for their biggest challenge to date as they host the Class 6A second-ranked Cleveland Storm at 7 p.m. Friday at Bulldog Bowl. The Storm are also 4-0 on the season with wins over Onate (24-14), La Cueva (38-37), Las Cruces High (49-42) and Centennial (49-33).
"It's been a good start," said Henderson. "We haven't been tested to the point we're fixing to get tested to next week, but I feel like our guys have done a good job of taking advantage of the opportunities they've had, scoring points, playing good defense, and really solidifying the kicking game over the last couple of weeks, so there are a lot of positives there.
"I think we've made the progress we need to to get ready for a game like what's coming up. Everybody knows it's our biggest test to this point in the season. The next three weeks will be big as far as giving us some telltale signs about what type of team we are as we play some good-quality opponents."
