Below you will find a list of the fantasy books published in 2007 that we enjoyed most.
by Steven Erikson
Rating a book is inherently dangerous. Well beyond the normal trials of dealing with authors who believe they're the next Tolkien but are lucky to know how to spell Tolkien, it's the really good authors that provide the greatest problems. For example, I finished my review for the Bonehunters by Steven Erikson over a week ago. At the time it was a 10 out of 10 book. I still believe it is. However, what happens when the next book is just as good?
Series: A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen: Book 7
Published: 2007
by Tad Williams
This book is based around journeys: Briony Eddon is now on the run from Southmarch with no way of knowing where to go or how to solve her problems, but this is a good thing as she also has to grow up and experience the world as others do rather than the princess regent. Barrick Eddon is behind the Shadowline with Ferras Vansen on a journey of discovery, although he doesn't grow in character as much as Briony both characters are less annoying as they are thrown into action that they would never have previously experienced. Qinnitan is also on the run from Xand and arrives in Hierosol only to meet Olin Eddon, who is being held prisoner there and we start to understand how she could be important as well as connected to the Eddon's.
Series: Shadowmarch Quartet: Book 2

When friends hand me books to read, I am always suspicious of whether the books will be any good. Maybe it is my own great arrogance (or maybe one of many), but I just figure that – unless they are of a special few – I am the better judge of books. Thankfully, twice this theory has fallen by the wayside.
Series: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 1
Published: 2007
by Susan Cooper
Cooper's highly acclaimed series--Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark Is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; and Silver on the Tree--is now available in its entirety for the first time in an attractive, sturdy boxed set that's perfect for gift giving
"Cooper is a natural storyteller, and all five novels grip the reader tightly, helped in this with copious amounts of mythology and spectacular prose. The prose of the second book in the series, The Dark is Rising, is some of the best I've read in its genre. The sequence is an absolute classic, and should be required reading for children between the ages of seven and fifteen. Those who are older who haven't read them yet are really missing out on something wonderful. Highly recommended." AT Ross, Fantasy Book Review

More questions and answers are waiting for you in this great book, the Thursday Next novels are going from strength to strength without any sign of flagging - they just get more intriguing as the series continues. Where this series will end I have no idea and look forward to being continually surprised, but at the same time I hope that there are many more books to look forward to reading in the coming years (I don't ask for much).
Series: Thursday Next: Book 5
Published: 2007
by JK Rowling
Harry has left Hogwarts to dedicate himself to the quest for final Horcruxes, together with his friends Ron and Hermione. Harry is also searching for the answers he feels Dumbledore has left unanswered and his feelings for his beloved old headmaster veer from anger and bitterness to painful loss. Voldemort continues his rise and nowhere seems to be safe anymore. With three gifts, bequeathed by Dumbledore to our intrepid trio, they set off on their deadliest task yet and know that this could be the end of everything they hold dear, even themselves. With Voldemort ever closer our hero must not hesitate; the final battle is coming and no one knows what the outcome will be.
Series: Harry Potter: Book 7

Another author (Patrick Rothfuss I believe) once said that one of the hard parts of writing is not getting too involved in your 'world'. 'It is a classical error to pour all the love and information into a book.' I must say that I agree, but it is a debatable subject. But getting back to this story, even I was slightly unsatisfied with the lack of information about some parts of the story. There were multiple parts, like the Kin and the working of the werewolf-community that I really wanted to know but that just felt slightly neglected. But perhaps this will all be part of the following books, which just adds to my expectations…
Series: Cal Leandros series: Book 2
Published: 2007
by David Anthony Durham
Acacia is a captivating and entertaining novel for an author's first foray into the fantasy genre and one that has me catching back up on the world of fantasy after a year or two away. The characters, while following a formulaic path do not take the routes treaded in other fantasy novels. It perhaps could have had a little more humour thrown in and a better handling of the action scenes and this would have completed the novel for me. As it is though, it is a stellar novel and whilst I have yet to discover the likes of Erickson, Abercrombie, Rothfuss and Sanderson this book was instrumental in reigniting my passion for fantasy. Ultimately, it was a book that I was unable to put down and had me ordering the sequel immediately. I urge you to try it, but please be aware of my disclaimer as I have not yet discovered many of the newer fantasy authors.
Series: War with the Mein: Book 1
Published: 2007
by Karen Miller
Like Empress this book is a very thick book and but every minute of reading it was worth it. The further you go into the book the more you fear not only for Rhian but for Zandakar, Dexterity and the kingdom of Ethrea. I had more difficulty putting this book down as I became more attached to these characters than I did to the characters of Empress.
Series: Godspeaker: Book 2
Published: 2007
by James Barclay
Following in the wake of its predecessor, Shout for the Dead continues James Barclay's magnificent step away from his impressive Raven series. No longer are we watching masses of enemies being slaughtered. This time we're in for a political ride akin to the latter days of the West Wing (I love Barclay, but I'm not giving him political prowess similar to Aaron Sorkin).
Series: The Ascendants of Estorea: Book 2
Published: 2007
by Terry Pratchett
Following on from his successful introduction of the character Moist von Lipwig, Terry Pratchett decided that he would bring the ex-con artist back in an attempt to restore the Ankh-Morpork Mint. In short, Pratchett once again gets an entire book to have his way with the utilities and the running of a city.
Series: The Discworld Series: Book 36
Published: 2007
by Patricia Briggs
Something is wrong in the Tri Cities. A shadow has fallen across its inhabitants just as surely as if the sun hid behind a cloud. A new vampire has come into town with out stopping by the local seethe to pay his respects which is a very bad thing as Mercy is about to find out. Stefan, a vampire (who comically painted his VW bus to look like the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo) and friend of Mercy's is to stand trial for murder and be executed if she can't get to the bottom of what is going on in the cities. Its left to Mercy to discover who and what she truly is before things go to far and more people die. The more she digs the more trouble Mercy finds herself in and the more trouble she finds herself in the more she wonders if it's just a vampire she's hunting.

by Charlaine Harris
Sookie's beginning to get used to being surrounded by all varieties of undead, changeling, shapeshifting and other supernatural beings - but even she has her limits. She'd really like to take a while to get over being betrayed by Bill, her long-time vampire lover, and get used to her new relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn - but instead, she finds herself attending the long-planned vampire summit, the destination of choice for every undead power player around, as a sort-of human 'Geiger counter' for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana. But the job is fraught with difficulties. Sophie-Anne's power base has been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina, and she's about to be put on trial during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders: it looks like there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. With secret alliances and backroom deals the order of the day - and night - Sookie must decide which side she'll stand with, and quickly, for her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

But now one demon has discovered the secrets of the fairy world, and if humans get hold of this information the fairies are in BIG trouble. Only one person can prevent this disaster - teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl. Action packed and full of humour - a must-read for boys and girls aged 10+.

Imriel is torn between escaping his past and creating his future. The memory of his mother's betrayal still lingers in his memory and his life. Imriel has faced many dangers in his young life, and the one he faces now doesn't fall short.
Series: Treason�s Heir: Book 2
Published: 2007
by Karen Miller
Anyone who liked Kingmaker and Kingbreaker will love this book. It is a very hefty read at 688 pages but it rarely felt like a chore, which can happen sometimes with long books. The only complaint I would make is that sometimes Hekat's single-mindedness can get a little but annoying but that is a minor complaint compared to the quality of the book and story. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading this sort of fantasy.

Few could forget the mind-blowing last chapter of The Innocent Mage, which turned the whole world upside down. Immediately picking up the pace, the Awakened Mage continues directly after the dreadful accident. Grief-stricken, Gar and Asher try with all their might to keep everything together. The odds are not in their favour though, since they are still completely unaware of the actual threat; focused instead on preventing Conroyd from getting more influence. Everything goes downhill as Morg (successfully) continues to plot their demise and another strike of misfortune hits Gar. There's only one person standing in the way of total annihilation, our beloved yet overworked Asher...

Maddy Smith has always been an outsider. Born with a rusty-coloured rune on her hand - what the villagers call a ruinmark - she is scarred by this symbol of the old gods, a sign of magic. And everyone known that magic is dangerous. Except for Maddy who thinks it's rather fun. Until now. For suddenly her friend One-Eye, a rascally Outlander, want her to open Red Horse Hill and descend into World Below - a world filled with goblins and far worse - to retrieve a relic of the old gods...
"With Runemarks Joanne Harris has written a great addition to the fantasy books that integrate mythology. Norse mythology is something that I was not that familiar with but I was pleased with how everything came together in the end. In Runemarks you are invited to travel between the Nine Worlds from the World above to the Netherworld." Stuart E Wise, Fantasy Book Review

Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr is a Confederation Marine's marine. Side-lined since her last mission, she jumped at the chance to go to Crucible - the Marine Corps training planet. While the exercise is underway, the drones begin acting aggressively, without regard to fail-safes or their programming. Kerr finds herself caught in a desperate fight to keep a platoon of Marine recruits alive...
"I am enjoying this series which is now at the half-way mark in the series. Torin Kerr is as strong as ever, still trying to make sure that whatever disaster befalls her she gets everyone home alive, even if that's not always the case. She is continually resourceful when having to make tough calls. As usual she is surrounded by a strong cast of characters."

Just watching a physically or mentally challenged child participate in such a "normal" activity brings joy to both the participant and their parents or caregivers. Below are some quotes from Parents of HETRA Participants.
Quotes from Families
"Ella started HETRA at age three after being diagnosed with a rare disease that attacks joints and muscles. In addition to the physical benefits, we value how HETRA has helped increase her confidence, which is key for anyone battling a chronic disease. Staff and volunteers treat her like a member of their own family, making the HETRA team a vital part of our overall support system." – Gail Graeve, parent of HETRA participant Ella Graeve
"Sure the physical benefits were there. She retained her flexibility after tendon lengthening and improved her trunk strength, but that wasn't the best part. Her self-esteem skyrocketed. She so looks forward to going riding with Lady or Twyla out at the barn. She's been helped in so many ways by those two horses….She doesn't know she's there for therapy. She's there to ride her horse for a little while. But I'm there for therapy also. I can't help but experience some of the excitement and challenge that she's feeling. Her riding on the back of a horse makes me so proud and excited that I can't help feeling good. She spends her time on the back of a horse during her session, but you can bet that sometime during those 30 minutes, I'm back by the stalls working with a horse too!"
"We did our make up session on Saturday. It went really well and his Dad got to come along… he was blown away by his progress! Thanks so much for believing in my son. We believe he has made incredible progress because of you. And he really enjoys riding! Yippee…he gets it!!" – HETRA Parent
"HETRA has given our daughter not just an ability to ride, not just improved neurological functioning and balance; HETRA has given her dignity, respect, responsibility and pride. Thank you so very, very much!" – HETRA Parent
"I think it is really important to remember that many of the children who come to ride, for whatever reasons, never had an opportunity to do something in an inclusive environment let alone do something simply because it's "fun". It's also important to let them know that they are all doing a fantastic job. I'm a pretty good judge of character and the first thing about all of the HETRA staff and volunteers was that EVERYONE made eye contact with the riders. Eye contact is so simple to do, so important and unfortunately often overlooked. You would be surprised how many therapists and doctors we worked with in the past who never made eye contact with her. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. We look forward to many, many more!" – HETRA Parent
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for Madi yesterday, All Madi has talked about since I completed her HETRA paperwork back in March was the horse show,,,, DAILY, Riding for those few minutes yesterday meant the world to her. When she completed the obstacle course and rode past the reviewing stand and received applause from the crowd, she said she was perplexed. Never before in her life had she been given the opportunity in an inclusive environment to experience what she did yesterday. It was unfathomable for her that so many strangers were happy for her and proud of her. As we walked out of the arena, several spectators commented on how well she did or said "good job". She beamed, holding up her trophy high in the air for everyone to see." – HETRA Parent
Volunteer Quotes
"HETRA not only gives therapy to the participants, it also gives therapy to the volunteers. Volunteering at HETRA has been a blessing for me. I am a type II diabetic. My numbers were out of control before I began volunteering. After six months, my numbers started coming down. With time, my doctor lowered some of my meds! I am always happy to volunteer because I know that I am helping others. I also know I am helping myself by being physically active."
A volunteer stated "I have little motivation to walk on my treadmill at home, but I eagerly walk for two hours during my volunteer time at the barn and am very proud of my sweat-soaked clothes at the end of my volunteer session."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — WKU Track and Field wrapped up a successful two-day outing at the Indiana Relays and returns home with five event titles. Eight different Hilltoppers helped account for the titles as the women's distance medley relay as well as the men's 60-meter, 60-meter hurdles, 200-meter and long jump titles were all collected by the Red and White. In total, the Erik Jenkins coached squad has now collected 14 first-place finishes on the season.
"Indiana provided a great venue for us to compete on a track similar to the one that will be used for the conference championships in a few week," Jenkins shared. "We were able to really evaluate ourselves against quality competition. We had some good things happen and saw areas we need to continue to improve in order to be successful."
On the women's side, the squad finished in the top-eight a total of 14 times highlighted by the distance medley relay crown earned by Alexa Brainard, Ariel Terrell, Callie Donaldson and Savannah Ames, finishing in 12:37.62. Terrell and Ames each contributed an individual top-eight finish as well as Terrell turned in a fifth place 400-meter finish (57.06) and Ames finished eighth in the miles (5:18.53).
The 60-meter preliminaries saw four Lady Toppers finish in the top-10 including Peli Alzola (7.75) and Jadzia Beasley (7.77), who finished fourth and seventh, respectively. Beasley also went on to finish sixth in the 200-meter with a time of 25.02 and was joined in the top-eight by Khadijah Valentine (fourth, 24.78).
Sandra Akachukwu turned in a pair of top-eight finishes in the jumping events as the senior took third place in the high jump clearing 1.65 meters (5'5") and sixth in the long jump, covering 5.51 meters (18'1").
Jenessa Jackson continued her success in the ring, taking home a fifth-place finish in the shot put (14.98 meters, 49'1.75") and sixth place in the weight throw (19.09 meters, 62'7.75").
Rounding out competition for the Lady Toppers were Kaila Smith and Catika Slay who finished second and fourth in the pentathlon, respectively.
The WKU men turned in a total of 18 top-eight finishes across the weekend outing. Julius Morris secured his second event title of the season with the top spot in the men's 60-meter competition. Morris was joined by four other Hilltoppers in the top-eight, including Will Bush and Eli Minor who finished fourth and sixth, respectively, in the event.
In the 200-meter, WKU owned five of the top six spots, with all five times marking season-best readings for the Hilltoppers. Emmanuel Dasor claimed both the top spot and his first event title of the season with a time of 21.26. Ventavius Sears (21.31) clinched second place followed by Morris (21.62), Bush (21.86) and Minor (22.19) in fourth through sixth places.
Dasor also competed in the 400-meter for the first time of his senior campaign, posting a time of 47.90 for a second-place finish. Sears went on to take third place (47.99) in the same event.
Sammy Kipkirui tallied a second-place finish as well, clocking a time of 8:37.62 in the 3,000-meter in his first competition of the season. Endalow Takele also picked up a top-eight finish in a distance event, finishing fifth in the 5,000-meter competition (15:00.08).
Jonathan Hayden picked up his first top-finish of the season, taking home the 60-meter hurdles crown with a time of 8.19 after a preliminary reading of 8.08. Maor Seged finished third in the same event with a time of 8.40 in the finals.

A query that returns only recent changes to the HealthKit store, including a snapshot of new changes and continuous monitoring as a long-running query.
- iOS 8.0+
- Mac Catalyst 13.0+
- watchOS 2.0+
- Health
Anchored object queries provide an easy way to search for new data in the HealthKit store. An
HKAnchored returns an anchor value that corresponds to the last sample or deleted object received by that query. Subsequent queries can use this anchor to restrict their results to only newer saved or deleted objects.
Anchored object queries are mostly immutable. You can assign the query's
update property after instantiating the object. All other properties must be set when you instantiate the object, and they cannot change.
Running Anchored Object Queries
The following sample code builds and executes an anchored object query.
Because this example queries for all step count samples, it does not use a predicate or limit to filter the results. Also, by setting the update handler, it requests all matching samples currently in the HealthKit store, along with any matching updates to the store.
For the current samples, HealthKit calls the result handler after completing the initial query.
For updates, the query continues to run and monitor the HealthKit store after completing the initial query. HealthKit calls the update handler whenever it detects a change to the affected objects.
If the
my property is set to
nil, the query returns all the step count data currently available in the HealthKit store. On subsequent runs, the code uses the anchor returned by the previous query. These queries return only the step count samples that have been saved or deleted since the previous run.
Combining Snapshots and Updates
The anchored object query combines the ability to grab a snapshot of the data currently stored in HealthKit (like an
HKSample) with the ability to perform a long-running query that responds to updates (like an
Often, it is more efficient to set up and run a single anchored object query than to run separate sample and observer queries. As a result, you may want to use anchored object queries, even when you aren't using anchors to limit the results. In this case, simply set the anchor parameter to

Castle Crag
This is one of the classic shorter walks in the Lake District, visiting Castle Crag, a minor peak, but in a fantastic location at the mouth of Borrowdale, and with views deep into the valley and along Derwent Water towards Keswick.
St. Cuthbert's Church, Kildale, is a 19th century church reached via a footbridge over a railway line, and with a notable porch
All Saints' Church, Ingleby Arncliffe, was built in 1821 close to the site of an earlier church, and is a typical early nineteenth century Gothic church. The old church was located to the south-east of the current building, and was demolished at the same date.

Filed under: Main Course, Pasta & Rice | Tags: Pasta, Ravioli, Tomato sauce
My husband and I are old fuddy duddies. We prefer to stay in on New Years Eve, put the kids to bed, make a nice meal and try desperately to stay up until midnight. This year, we decided to have another cook-off to bring in the New Year and the challenge was pasta. My husband thinks he makes the best spaghetti around, and I will admit it is good, but he cheats. He uses premade meatballs, jarred pasta sauce and dried noodles (sorry to give away your secrets honey, but it's true.) I thought I wanted to do ravioli and since he says he hates ravioli (not true) I knew the only way to get him to admit that my pasta was better was to make everything from scratch.
As always, his dish did turn out pretty good (see honey, I can give credit where credit is due) but mine was better. I mean, I did make everything from scratch. But I realized the recipe for the dough made a lot of raviolis and I knew I wasn't going to eat them all that night-after all I had no chance to stay up to midnight if I was totally stuffed. So I froze half of the batch just to see if it was any good.
Well it worked. A few nights later I wanted something quick to make, filled with carbs and loaded with cheese and this hit the spot. Fresh pasta only takes a few minutes to cook, and even freezing the fresh stuff only added about another 30 seconds to the cooking time. I actually really loved this, because after all the prep work was done, fresh pasta on the table in less than 15 minutes is a winner in my book-plus it just looked so pretty!
Spinach Ravioli Stuffed with Four Cheeses
Adapted from Pasta Dough on Epiciurious.com
1 bunch of fresh spinach, finely chopped (in the end, I probably had about 2 tablespoons after I chopped it all down)
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup shredded Italian cheese blend (I used parmesan, Asiago, Romano)
1 egg
2-3 basil leaves, finely chopped
Tomato sauce for serving (I added some ground beef because I knew my husband wouldn't "like" it without meat)
Combine the first seven ingredients in a food processor. Process until dough just forms into a ball.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes, adding more flour if needed to keep it from sticking. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
While the dough is resting, combine the cheeses, egg, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Follow directions on your pasta roller to roll out sheets of dough for ravioli. I used my Kitchen Aid pasta roller attachment and found that the fourth setting was the perfect thickness for the ravioli.
With your sheet of pasta dough laid out on a floured surface, place a teaspoon of filling across the dough, a few inches apart. Use a pastry brush to brush the other half of the dough with water and fold over the filling. Press around the filling to seal the edges. Using a ravioli cutter cut out the ravioli and place on a lined baking sheet.
At this point, you can freeze the ravioli for 30 minutes on the baking sheet or until it's set, then place them in an airtight container in the freezer. I froze mine for a week and they tasted fresh, but I think they may keep for up to a month.
Alternately, if you are cooking the pasta right away, place individual ravioli into a pot of salted, boiling water, and being careful not to over crowd the pot. When the ravioli float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve with tomato sauce and extra cheese.

I am always impressed with fresh made pasta. I guess it's because I don't have the patience or no how to do it myself. My mother has one of the old fashioned pasta machines that you roll out by hand…. maybe someday I'll get the guts to try it. Your ravioli looks amazing… I'm glad you won the cook-off!
Using cake flour in pasta is a much cheaper way to go than with the specialty flour. I never knew that it could be made with cake flour, so this is very helpful information.
I guess your hubby now realizes how deliciously better homemade can be when it comes to pasta! Yours does look delicious.
I love spinach ravioli, this sounds awesome!
I loooove making meals that are completely from scratch…especially ravioli! I have never made spinach ravioli before though, which is a shame, because spinach is hands down one of my favorite foods. You know I'll be making these next time I am in the mood for some spinach ravioli. Thank you!!!
WOW .. shaped to perfection and the filling SO yummy! I can eat ravioli almost everyday 🙂
These look great, excellent post~!
Nothing beats homemade ravioli. Honestly, this sounds like the best new years eve ever!
I adore homemade pasta, and ravioli especially. This looks delicious… and I love the shape! Beautiful!
I'm a huge fan of homemade pasta and this is just stunning….I LOVE how ravioli freezes like a dream – I'd say that hubby put up a valiant fight, but maybe next year!
Oooh, my hubby and I do that too, hehe, we love to stay in and wait for midnight, instead of rushing out with the crowds and squeezing ourselves silly just to watch a few fireworks in the skies:p
Love your spinach ravioli, am sure both of you had an awesome time 😉
You two are a great couple! I wish my husband was willing to do something like this – wait, I'm also too lazy for that… maybe we are alike after all. Anyway, what a great way to enjoy adult time! Your Ravioli looks so good! I've never made Ravioli from scratch and it doesn't appear on our table often (my husband isn't a big fan), so I only eat out. Maybe homemade one day… =)
Yum! What a pretty color and flavor! Love this idea for ravioli!

There has been lots of media speculation about the Turnbull government's construction code in the wake of the Senate crossbench voting with the Liberal Party to support it.
The code is being talked up by Workplace Relations Minister Michaelia Cash as the answer to all of the construction industry's problems.
In fact, the code is an unprecedented interference in the affairs of business owners.
It's a neat piece of irony that the Liberal Party, supposedly the party of small government and free enterprise, has legislated to suffocate business in one sector of the economy.
Every single agreement made between workers and unions is to be vetted by the ABCC, the government regulator. Included in the code is a laundry list of matters upon which businesses and their workers are no longer legally allowed to include in workplace agreements.
These include clauses that prevent unsafe hours of work, limit casualisation, encourage the hiring of more apprentices, and limit the use of labour hire. These are all issues that workers and their employers agree are important. They're all things that, if left unchecked, will wreak havoc in the industry.
The government's intent seems clear: they want to further casualise an already insecure and itinerant industry, letting the real issues in the industry to go unacknowledged and unaddressed.
Issues like the industry's poor safety record. There have been 19 workers killed already this year - 19 families broken.
Issues like mental health, substance abuse and suicide, which employers and unions have been working together on with little help from the government.
Issues like security of payment for subcontractors. Nick Xenophon crowed that he'd had a breakthrough on this issue when the ABCC law first passed, but the ABCC quietly watered down the reporting requirements on unpaid progress claims.
This means subbies have been left with no real protection on this key issue. Xenophon has left them out in the cold. Another hollow deal done with the government.
CFMEU members are outraged by Xenophon, Hinch and One Nation's betrayal of working people on this issue. They're outraged but they're not surprised. After all, these "independents" vote with the Liberal Party in nearly 90 per cent of Senate votes.
Unlike Senator Jackie Lambie, they are not real independents – they're Liberal Party supporters wearing another badge. It might hide their true colours, but nothing can hide their contempt for blue collar workers.
For our part, the CFMEU will continue to negotiate high quality agreements for our members.
Since the passing of the code, the union has been inundated by employers seeking to alter agreements.
We are talking to construction workers about what this means to them and how best to protect hard-won wages and conditions. We are alerting all construction workers to the fact that some shonky employers are already using the code as an excuse to con workers into signing off on changes to agreements that aren't even necessitated by the code.
Any worker who is approached to change their agreement or enter a new agreement should make sure they get in touch with the union. We will continue to get the best outcomes for construction workers, the people whose skill and sweat builds this nation.

Timeline, Part 1: 1788-1849
A genealogy
Frances Smith ("Fanny"), FN's mother born. She is one of ten children born to an active liberal politician. The parents were Unitarians and fabulously wealthy. Frances said of her and her siblings that they never worked a day in their lives and just played and had fun. They all lived to be very old.
Frances "Fanny" Smith
Aunt Mai
William Edward Shore ("W.E.N."), FN's father born. He assumed the name Nightingale to get his inheritance.
Mary Shore,
FN's aunt "Mai" (pronounced "my"), born. She marries Fanny's brother Mr. Samuel Smith. Their son, William Shore Smith (whom FN called "my boy Shore"), was the heir, after his mother, to the entailed land at Embley and Lea Hurst, in default of a son to Mr. Nightingale.
FN's mother falls in love with James Sinclair. He has no income except his pay as a captain in the army. It is 400 pounds a year and her father decides that would never do and refuses to approve of marriage. By 1817 the affair was at an end.
W.E.N. and Fanny engaged to be married.
W.E.N. and Fanny married.
Honeymoon in Europe.
April 19, Frances Parthenope ("Pop") Nightingale, later Lady Verney, born in Naples, named after the old Greek settlement on the site of her birthplace.
Villa Colombaia
May 12, FN born in Florence (Firenze), Italy, in the Villa Colombaia, near the Porta Romana.
Lea Hurst
The girls with W.E.N.
Embley Park
The Nightingale family returns to England and tries to settle down in W.E.N.'s inherited property in Derbyshire. The Derby county property had an active lead smelter (1760-1935) which W.E.N. managed and owned. W.E.N. had a new house built for the family in the village of Lea and the the family lived there until 1823. The home was called
Lea Hurst
and served as a summer home to the Nightingales for the rest of FN's life.
Family lives at Kynsham Court, Presteigne, in Herefordshire.
The Nightingales move to a mansion named
Embley Park
in the parish of Wellow, in Hampshire. This is the site of FN's grave. This becomes the family's main home with Lea Hurst as a summer home.
W.E.N. begins to seriously educate the girls himself.
February 7, God spoke to her at Embley; "God called her to His service" but she is not clear on how to "serve" Him.
September, the family travels to Europe while Embley is being remodeled. She meets Mary Clarke ("Clarkey") in Paris.
"There is no part of my life, upon which I can look back without pain."
April, the Family returns to England.
June, the girls, Flo and Parthe and two cousins from the Nicholson family are presented at Queen Victoria's birthday party.
September, the family takes up residence at Embley.
Florence and Parthenope
Aunt Mai tries to arrange math lessons for Flo but Fanny resists. Ladies don't need math.
FN meets Richard Monckton Milnes.
FN asks Dr. Howe (husband of Julia Ward Howe, author of
Battle Hymn of the Republic
) at Lea Hurst if it would be ok to "devote herself to works of charity in hospitals and elsewhere as Catholic sisters do?"
Cousin Henry Nicholson proposes marriage, FN declines.
FN around 1845
FN wants to work and train at Salisbury Infirmary nearby. Because of the reputation of nursing in that day, Mama and Parthe are horrified. A cultured lady of that day did not enter in hospital work.
"To be a good nurse one must be a good woman, or one is truly nothing but a tinkling bell."
Lord Ashley tells her about the government reports called Blue Books. She starts to become a self-taught expert on hospitals and sanitation.
Spring, Richard Monckton Milnes wants her to marry him. She is approaching a mental breakdown. Selina ("
") and Charles Bracebridge take her to Rome with them. She meets Elizabeth ("Liz") and Sidney Herbert.
FN attends the opening of Sidney Herbert's Charmouth convalescent home and her expertise is recognized.
"...Till a married woman can be in possession of her own property there can be no love or justice."
Richard Monckton Milnes
After seven years of waiting, Milnes is given a final answer of no to his proposal of marriage. After much agonizing, she concludes that she could not have "work" of her own if she chooses to follow her heart into this society marriage. Marriage would destroy her chance of serving God's call.
December, she accompanies the Bracebridges on a
trip down the Nile
in Egypt and Greece. She is near breakdown.

"My love of design and architecture started at very young age. My family immigrated to Canada when I was only three, in the hopes of living the 'Canadian Dream'. Some of my first memories are of my father cutting down trees on the lot he had purchased and digging the foundation of our new home prior to the concrete truck arriving.
As a child, I learned to hammer, dig, paint and laugh while my parents (self-proclaimed DIYers) moved my family from house to house...from farm-land to city suburbs...we lived and built it all. My memories are chock-full of 'old-fashioned' blueprints and sketches from these various homes. I know now how important those sketches are.
After earning my credentials with a BA in Art History and Architecture and a second degree from Ryerson University's renowned Interior Design program, I set out to help other design their homes...help them in the delicate balance between functional and fantastic.
I now live in North Toronto with my husband and three children. I adore design and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to live my dream job everyday."

Where did I get my predictions?
I uses Hollywood Stock Exchange as source of data then add my own amounts based on what I know about any said film. While HSX is a game, it's a game that does well at predicting the box-office results of Hollywood films. I don't always agree and that's how I earn H$ in the game. All dollar amounts are in Millions ($62.44 = $62,440,000)
The List
1. Avengers: Infinity War $541 – Marvel is on a huge roll, and this film is the culmination of all 19 of their previous films. While this isn't the end of Marvel's Phase Three, it is the climax.
2. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom $499 – Chris Pratt did a fantastic job on the first Jurassic World, and now he gets a chance to be a part of the #1 and #2 films of the year. Too bad he's not in Solo too.
3. Solo: A Star Wars Story $471 – Star Wars just came out with the mid chapter in the third saga of the Star Wars Universe and last year's Rogue One was a colossal hit with a total $523 during its run. There's really no reason that this film can't do as well. I'm keeping my prediction low, as I have yet to see any promotional material for this film, and it opens in just 5 months. The May release date was intended to return the franchise to its roots and get away from the christmas releases, but Episode IX needed more development time and so it will be a long year-and-a-half gap between film for the franchise.
4. Deadpool 2 $337 – The sequel to the top earning R-Rated movie. $363 in 2016, can this film feature Cable and Domino and still hold that kind of numbers? Time will tell. Time will also tell if Disney's purchase of Fox will allow fans to ever see another Deadpool film after this one.
5. Incredibles 2 $324 – in 2004 The Incredibles was one of the best superhero films audiences had ever seen, because we were still four years away from seeing the MCU, now we are about to see the families return.
6. Black Panther $278 – A solo film that leads into the Infinity War film could boost this films performance as could the majorly african cast in an American film so I think this estimate is low. I'm already $90 above many other estimates for the film so I don't want to over do my prediction.
7. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald $231 – The tenth instalment in the Wizarding World series of films. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them earned $234 in 2016, so I see no reason this film won't fare any worse on the same weekend.
8. Ready Player One $215 – From Steven Spielberg the trailer seemed to show a lot of fan service, in that there are a lot of fan universes represented through the film. This should help boost the film in a crowded spring box-office season.
9. A Wrinkle In Time $202 – Based on the 1962 novel by Madeleine L'Engle, adapted in 2003 Disney and a few Canadian production companies for Disney's ABC TV. This time the film sports an all-star cast and what I call the Wonder Woman factor. This should keep the film on top of the box-office through the month of March, at least until Pacific Rim: Uprising comes out on the 23rd.
10. Mission: Impossible 6 $190 – The sixth film in Bad Robot's series with Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg. The last incarnation Rogue Nation, made $195 at the domestic box-office, but $700 world wide.
11. Ant-Man and the Wasp $188 – Thor was the number 12 prediction last year and it went on to make over $300.
12. X-Men: Dark Phoenix $162 – The fourth film in the New X-Men saga sees Jean Grey claim the Phoenix powers that may destroy her and the X-Men, or the world as we know it.
13. Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 $159 – Disney's Pixar Coco held this position last year and is at $150 as I write this.
14. Mary Poppins Returns $149 – A Christmas time film from Disney, what could be better? The meme that grew out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 of Yond as Mary Poppins, might actually give this film even more of a boost.
15. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation $135 – This Adam Sandler lead franchise has averaged $159, but the promotional material for this one kind of pointed me in the lower direction.
16. The New Mutants $134 – A spin-off of the X-Men franchise. Or should I say another spin-off of the X-Men franchise. Between Hulu's The Runaways, The Gifted on FOX and Legion on FX there seems to be a lot of material aimed at the teen superhero fan. A horror movie take on the whole thing may make it or break it.
17. Aquaman $122 – The critically disastrous DCEU hasn't had the best track record, and this film spinning-off Justice League doesn't seem to have the momentum to hold a late December release. I just don't see this film cracking $125.
18. Alita: Battle Angel $120 – Written by James Cameron and Directed by Robert Rodriguez the first peak at this film looks amazing.

USPS.com has a feature I loved until a few minutes ago: schedule a hold mail. When traveling, I'd rather the post office hold my mail than my mailbox on the street. In the past, I had to go to the post office and fill out a card. Now, you can fill it out on their Web site, and it's great, unless …. you are traveling for more than a month; the usps.com system only can look ahead one month at a time. After you authenticate your address, you have a drop-down menu to select the date when you want them to start holding your mail. The next menu is for the date you want delivery resumed. This one only goes out one month: don't you dare traveling longer! You can choose between "the post office will resume … " and "I will pick up …", meaning I could just tell them "after this day drop off my mail and start delivery again" and I've done it a few times and it worked perfectly. But since I'm going away for more than a month, I though I'd just choose "I'll pick up" and avoid the one-month-only duration. No such luck. Even when I choose "I'll pick up" they won't let me continue until I enter a resume date. In the confirmation page they promise me to resume normal delivery on that day. But wait, I don't want you to, I won't be home yet. So I thought I'd outsmart them; I'll just schedule another stop starting the following day. Are you kidding me? Outsmart the bureaucracy, armed with a computer program? Forget about that. You cannot schedule another hold while you have one registered already. So, if you know you'll be traveling three trips in a row, and you'd like to schedule them all in one sitting, the bureaucrats and the programmers have ganged up against you. They just want you to come back again. I'm still trying to figure out how to stop them from delivering my mail a full week before I'm back.
Thou shalt have your mail delivery resume when USPS tells you!

Bachmann on Clinton: I have great empathy for her
Michele Bachmann has some empathy for Hillary Clinton — at least when it comes to campaigning for president as a woman.
"I really do have great empathy for what Mrs. Clinton is going through, because the hill that she has to climb on — appearance — it's just a different hill than men have to climb," Bachmann said in a Huffington Post podcast released on Monday. "I'm not whining about it. It's just reality. It is what it is."
The former Minnesota congresswoman, who ran for president in 2012, detailed some of the difficulties of running for the White House as a woman.
"I gave this speech and it was just blistering hot and humid and I was literally just drenched with sweat by the time that I was done," Bachmann said. "We had our campaign bus. So we went on the campaign bus. ... I had to go in and take a shower and start over and do another hair and makeup while we were driving to the next city. So that's another hour."

If you have been fired from your job and believe that this was done for an unlawful reason, you could have the right to bring a wrongful dismissal claim against your past employer. The legal remedies that you will be entitled to include money damages and the negotiation of an appropriate severance package. However, you will first need to determine if you have the basis for a wrongful termination claim.
What Makes A Dismissal Wrongful?
The term wrongful dismissal means that an employee has been fired or laid off for reasons which are illegal in the eyes of the law. There are a number of common reasons why dismissal can be wrongful and you need to know what they are. The primary reason is that the firing violated the state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
Wrongful dismissal also occurs when the dismissal was a form of harassment or that it was a violation of the oral and written employment agreement. Dismissals that violate labor laws including the collective bargaining laws will also be unlawful. Employers are also not allowed to fire employees in retaliation for them having filed a complaint or another type of claim against the employer.
It is important to note that some of these violations will carry a penalty while others will result in damaged being paid to the employee. However, it is recommended that you contact an employment lawyer before you make any claims against your employer. They will be able to tell you if you have the grounds for a claim and the damages that you might be able to get.
The Steps To Making The Claim
After being fired, the first step that you need to take is to not act on any of the negative instincts that you have. You should not act against your former employer such as posting negative information online. You need to contact an employment lawyer before you do anything else as they will be able to help you.
You also need to ensure that you have a copy of your employment contract and read through it. If there are any provisions in the contract regarding dismissal, this can strengthen your case. You will also need to provide a copy of the contract to your lawyer.
You should also ask about the reasons for your dismissal. This will include finding out who decided that you had to be dismissed. This can play a major role in the success or failure of your claim. You should also request to see your personnel file to see what the company has on record regarding your employment.
When you are making a claim, you should not allow yourself to be intimidated. There are many unscrupulous employers who will try to use these tactics to get you to drop your claim. You also need to ensure that you return any company property and that you follow other common post-employment procedures. When you return the property, it is recommended that you get something in writing to show that this has been done.
