This is the most distinguished novel that has come out of South Africa in the 20th century, and it is one of the most important novels that has appeared anywhere in modern times. Cry, the Beloved Country is in some ways a sad book; it is an indictment of a social system that drives native races into resentment and crime; it is a story of Fate, as inevitable, as relentless, as anything of Thomas Hardy's. Beautifully wrought with high poetic compassion, Cry, the Beloved Country is more than just a story, it is a profound experience of the human spirit. And beyond the intense and insoluble personal tragedy, it is the story of the beautiful and tragic land of South Africa, its landscape, its people, and its bitter racial ferment and unrest.

"Two Words"
How do you rate a classic novel of all time, that is well read, but the narrator gets the names wrong?
"Sophiatown" is NOT promounced SOfiah-town, but so-FIRE-town.
"Veld" is pronounced felt (as in heartfelt).
These words occur often throughout the novel, and every time they are used I wince. Do these audiobook publishers do NO RESEARCH at all? Is it really OK to mangle the Afrikaans quotes so badly that one has to burst out laughing? Is it OK to have a phony accent that makes a South African cringe? I have lived in Johannesburg all my life and I never heard anyone speaking like the white man from the reformatory.
So, Michael York's narration skill gets 5, but subtract 2 for bad research. The story gets 5+, and is worth listening to. It's a great novel. Unfortunately a lot of what Alan Paton wrote in 1948 is still applicable 60 years later. SA is now a democracy, and Apartheid is no longer law, but the crime in Johannesburg is still just as bad, and there are still squatter settlements and poor people being exploited.
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"A word painting: gripping, breathtaking & moving"
The more things change the more it stays the same. I live in Johannesburg, I am a minister of religion, I am an Afrikaner and a Policeman. This book deeply moved me. Something resonates with my soul as I see so much of this pre-Apartheid world still alive in the Johannesburg of today. I am astonished that the places (suburbs, townships, shacks, even the Midlands of Kwa-Zulu Natal) as painted by Alan Paton are so easily recognised. It felt as if I walked into the book… a book that was banned by the then Apartheid government.
The story is gripping and lavishly beautiful. Paton sketches the contrasts of South Africa and the opinions of the different racial groups towards living together so accurate that the book has the feel of a documentary on the one hand, but driven by a deeply moving story arranged into three acts which can be summarised like this, act 1: the prodigal son goes to the forbidden place and his father goes in search of him act 2: what if the son wants to return, but he cannot because he is corrupted? ; act 3: a loss of innocence or an opportunity to renew.
I am stunned as how Paton draws you in, let you bleed emotionally with Mfundisi (Reverend) Stephen Khumalo and his 'opposite,' James Jarvis. I am amazed how love and understanding is born out of hate. Yet, Paton doesn't give easy answers – even political answers – to a country deep in pain, but let you cry out with him, "Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika!" (God save Africa!). To say the least, this is heavy and like the chief of Ixopo I am not sure if we as South Africans have the answer yet. But miracles do happen in the same way that the darkest clouds bring the best rain.
This book comes greatly recommended. Everybody should listen or read it at least once in their life. It is also deeply religious and speaks to the soul. It is indeed heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time.
The British actor, Michael York reads this story with so much pathos; it feels like an act of love. He grips you and doesn't let you go. I will therefore forgive him his terrible Zulu and Afrikaans pronunciations… completely.
If you don't care to let the tears roll and be gay at the beauty of new and true human relationships, this book is for you!
"A Good Classic is Timeless"
What a great audio book. The narrator is fabulous but it is the material - the book itself - that is so timely and timeless. I am just starting to work in Mozambique over the last four years in a small NGO and my travel always take me through South Africa. This book is just as timely now as then, I'm sure. I see the hopes and the fears of both white and black very evident in so much of what once was colonial Africa and now the struggling-to-emerge modern Africa. It is still as portrayed in this classic work.
We have adopted a little Mozambican daughter who has come to the US to grow up with us in America. This book will go into a growing collection of works that I will one day share with her as she grows older to help her understand what was, what is, and what is possible in her world.
"incredible book"
truly one of the best books I have ever read. marvelous narrator. the power of the writing is such that the most ordinary scene is elevated to a level of deep meaning. makes modern works which have recieved great New York Times reviews seem absolutely shallow and poorly written when compared to this masterpiece. Cry the Beloved Country makes it clear how great and transcendent the best literature can be.
"South African Wonder"
This is a truly wonderful book, made better by the excellent reading voice. An intense and plausible story, where virtue is seen in both black and white, and the shortcomings of man are also seen in black and white. Despite being 50 years old the story is still highly relevant. The descriptions of South Africa make it clear that it is both worthy of being called beloved and alas, also worthy of crying over....
"Cry the Beloved Country"
I first read this book in high school. I entered it uninterested and slightly rebellious. But Paton drew me in. At times I couldn't follow what was going on, I was a mere 17. But years later, I remember this book. This is a book that demands a second visit and a renewed look at man's treatment of man.
"Worth your time"
I read this book when it first came out, and listened to it on audio recently. It moved me just as much now as it did then. The narrator is easily understood and makes the occasional Zulu words sound easy.
"True Life in Africa"
I only listened to this book because it was an Oprah book pick. I?m glad I did. The story weaves back and forth and really comes together at the end. You see the story of two families at opposing ends of the same situation and at opposite ends of South African societal privilege. It sounded like an older recording, but was still palatable.
"A Stirring, Emotional Journey To End Racism"
First: Michael York's narration is spectacular. I have begun reading this novel many times (didn't read it in high school -- though it was required!)but was never able to move past the first chapter. Listening to York's voicing of the characters, especially the 'character' of the land of South Africa, was captivating. Second: The beauty and lyricism of Paton's writing, reflect the simple, honest truth of the characters and the times they are living through. York's narration sets a perfect tempo and is nuanced and evocative. LISTEN TO THIS BOOK -- It is a classic that has been brought to life for me and it will remain indelibly imprinted in my heart; on yours, also, is my wish. Go well.
"Well worth it"
A very moving story, capturing the essence of South Africa at the time, and exceptionally well narrated.
"A classic for everyone with Africa in their Blood"
I was enraptured from start to finish - this book captures the spirit of South Africa, the story holds you spellbound from start to finish - a true classic
"Beautiful and moving."
Fascinating to read of life in pre-Apartheid South Africa. And yet this human traits remain timeless. This narrator made the olden style of writing sound natural, and easy to follow.
Only once or twice, when the subject of a chapter switched focus, did I wonder if I'd skipped too far - I hadn't, the story simply brought in and followed another strand for a while. But without the ability to see the page numbers, I had to trust Audible (as I cycled along).
I would highly recommend this book, and recommend it on audible.
"South African classic; read by non South African"
I picked up this well known (and no doubt dated) South African novel by famed liberal writer, Alan Paton. I wanted to hear again the much quoted beautiful opening paragraph about the meandering hills and dusty roads of Ixopo; despite the limitations of South African liberalism and associated writings.
I had to put it down after the first few pages, seriously irritated by the cultured English rather than South African accent of Michael York, making well known terms like 'veld' (Afrikaans) and names like 'Ixopo' (Zulu) or 'Sophiatown' mispronounced and ultimately irritating, paragraph by paragraph, page by page.
Audio recordings may not have to be read by somebody from the book locale and setting, but if names and local terms are poorly pronounced and understood by the narrator, so much of context is lost and the story becomes jarring and painful rather than mellifluous as this novel's opening paragraph must be...
Audible should set up a place where recommendations for narrators and needed recordings or re-recordings might be made. How about somebody like Antony Sher for 'Cry, The Beloved Country' - which in its title already conveys so much...
"A beautiful sad book about a beautiful sad country"
One of the best - great descriptive writing, dignified characters, a moving plot
Cry the Beloved Country really brings home the devastation wrought on local communities by industrialisation and urbanisation
Michael York's reading brings all the characters to life as dignified human beings
The trial and of course the ending.
"excellent book, strongly recommend it"
yes, both the story line and the readers voice is very captivating.
The lead character forced to face the reality of a changing South Africa.
He has a fabulous talent for performing as an old african man.
It made me very reflective of human nature and its ability to cause both violence and goodness in equal measures.
This is a classic novel about South Africa, at a time of social change. Though it is highly politically charged, it is also very human and very accessible to all readers, regardless of their personal interests in the continent. It addresses complex issues of good and evil in humans.
"Warm and informative"
The simplicity and selflessness of the protagonist.
The juxtaposition of Johannesburg with homeland of the protagonist creates a chasm which is impossible to cross. Seeing the city through the eyes not only of a stranger to the place, but through someone who is a true stranger to urbanisation brought a new dimension.
York has a warmth to his voice which feels as though he has experienced the narrative and adds a gravitas to it that would perhaps be missed otherwise.
Pity. The destruction of lives and the selfishness of people in the city, even of his own family, who with no regard for those they left behind began lives in the city of dereliction and immorality. What could bring someone to do that?
"A must-read book, very well narrated"
A compelling read, setting the recent history of South Africa in context. Wonderfully developed characters throughout. Very well narrated.

Cute Retro!!!
A great gift to myself makes me feel like I'm talking on the phone like I did as a kid!!Read More
Works great, fun gadget, nice conversation piece!
If you talk on your cell all the time this is awesome! Cute and fun! Works great and people love it!Read More
This handset might just be the greatest product ever... 1) Consistent use allows you to lower your exposure to harmful cell phone radiation. Boom. 2) If you're like most women, your purse is full of crap. By the time you've located your ringing phone at the bottom of your purse, you've missed the call. That's no longer the case with this handset- it's big, bright, beautiful and easy to pick up and answer. The pick up/hang up button (works with iphones and HTC phones, in my experience) is perfect, and the volume buttons are great (works only on iphones, I believe). 3) Remember the days when you could hold your land line phone between your shoulder and ear, thus freeing your two hands to do whatever kind of multitasking they need to do? You can have those days back with this amazing product. 4) Get ready for all the confused and amused looks you'll get when you pull it out of your purse to answer a call when you're out on the town. Hilarious. 5) Excellent sound quality. Better than using my phone alone, actually, because it doesn't get hot and make my ear sweaty (which leads to a crusty, wet phone after any 20+ minute conversation). 6) Overstock has the best price. I've seen this product sold on the street in NYC and at popular retailers for up to 5x the Overstock price. Plus Overstock sells it in a rainbow of colors.Read More
Great Purchase!
I am so completely happy and satisfied with my purchase of this phone. It was WELL worth the cost. I use my handset ALL the time! I loved it so much, I actually bought one for my best friend! It's so much easier to use than holding my iPhone all the time! Thank you for a WONDERFUL product! I LOVE IT!Read More
Fun item
This handset is fun. Gets lots of comments and laughs when use it in a public place. Also works well and easy to hear and be heard. Colors are great too. However it is big and bulky and not really suitable to carry around in purse or pocket. So use it for a few days to get a reaction and then keep it at home for long talks!Read More
Comfortable, Easy to Find!
I love using this phone instead of talking on the flat surface of the iPhone. Whenever I have to make a few calls or receive a call from someone I know will talk a long time, I plug in my purple phone receiver and use that. if you were ever employed using a traditional receiver all day, you will love this receiver. The sound quality is good, the color is bright (so I can find it easily) and it's obviously better for your brain cells because it reduces the radiation exposure.Read More
Love it! All my friends want one!
Now I can talk on the "phone" again. Feels like a regular phone and the sound is better through this handset than through my iPhone's headset. Friends saw it and went on-line to order. Got my order in 3 days! Also...if you install free talkatone app on your ipod touch you can make FREE outgoing calls! Get 'em while you can still get 'em. I got black...it's so traditional looking.Read More

Hi - how long is the cord (and how far does it stretch)? I can't seem to find that info anywhere. I'm wondering if it's long enough for me to put the iPhone in my back pocket while I use the handset.
Hello, this can stretch as long as 8 feet so you should be good.
It might be able to stretch to 8 feet, but that won't make it work better. You wont be able to hear anything unless you unplug it and use your phone normally
I would not stretch the cord too far. I just received mine in the mail, and the cord already appears to be falling out. Buyer beware.
Actually, the first one I had had a longer cord. This is about 18-20" I wish it was just a few inches longer. Long enough to reach my ear when the phone is on a table.
Hello, this can stretch as long as 8 feet so you should be good.
maybe 4-5 feet but yes you could stretch from backpocket to ear
Is it radiation proof?
Yes this could have small amounts of radiation. The same amount as a cell phone.
Probably so, it would have to actually work to allow radiation. On the other hand, is it lead free?
Actually, I never thought of that angle, but several people said these are what people are looking for to avoid putting cell phones right next to their brains!
There is what appears to be a small red light adjacent to the power button. I have not seen it light up. I would appreciate knowing what its purpose is.

It is the one-touch pick-up/hang-up button on the handset.

Season 13 of Ellen is premiering and she's kicking things off with a pretty notable name - Caitlyn Jenner. In Jenner's first talk show interview since announcing her transition, she and Ellen chatted about the whirlwind journey Caitlyn's been on, but also things like golf. Ellen wanted to know if she's hitting from men or women's tees, "'Cause you're a good golfer it's not fair to someone else." Jenner responded, "No, you don't think so? Actually no I still play from the men's tees." Of course, after her high-profile split with Kris Jenner, people have wondered who Caitlyn might be interested in dating. Ellen asked her if she was interested in men or women, but Jenner avoiding answering the question directly. "Would I like to find a partner in life to share my life with?" Caitlyn mused. "Yeah. I'm sure I will at some point. Right now I'm just very busy doing a lot of things and kind of just getting used to where I'm at and who I'm at. As time goes on I'll deal with that subject." When Ellen asked if she might date Candis Cayne, as has been rumored in the press, Jenner simply replied, "Candice is great. We really have a lot a fun. She's a beautiful women." Another big topic of discussion has been Jenner's conservative view on politics, a surprise to many considering a majority of those in the LGBT community tend to be liberal. The conversation turned to the subject of gay marriage. Jenner says she's come around on it, "...at first, I was not for it...I mean I like tradition and it's always been between a man and a woman and I'm thinking I don't quite get it. But as time has gone on, like a lot of people on this issue, I've really changed thinking here to I don't ever want to stand in front of anybody's happiness."

I found these navy and black tees on sale and I loved the fit, but I thought that they were a little plain. I wanted to jazz them up a little, but in a subtle way, so that I could still wear them under a jacket or with jewelry.
Typically if you want to tie-dye something, you have to let the dye set for 6-8 hours. With this method, you can be done in less than ten minutes.
Using bleach in a spray bottle, I was able to control how much of the shirt was altered and how much color was removed.
Step 1: Supplies and stuff
- a clean dark tee shirt - the darker the better
- a spray bottle
- some rubber bands
- bleach
- a bleach-proof space
Arrange your tee in your bleach-proof space. I have a plastic mannequin set up on my work table. But you can just lay it flat on some plastic bags.
These two instructables may give you some ideas for layouts:
1) Transforming a boring old black t-shirt using bleach!
2) Bleach Spritz Clothing
take care when mixing bleach with detergent or soap, like you said in your last step... this can be dangerous as toxic fumes can be released. I once did this by mistake (in larger quantities) and my dog ran to the front door and stuck his nose through the letter-box! I had to dash out too and it wasn't safe for a few hours. Bleach and soap don't mix.
You might be thinking of mixing bleach with ammonia. See http://chemistry.about.com/b/2010/08/20/why-you-shouldnt-mix-bleach-and-ammonia-bleach-and-ammonia-chemical-reactions.htm
maybe the detergent I was using had amonia in it, and your doesn't? Glad you replied as it alerted me to exactly what to avoid! Thanks for that...sorry for any confusion...
it's a great Ible anyway... now I feel a bit more reasured! So I will try it,, taking care what NOT to mix.
Not quite accurate. See my comment below... Cheap crap Discount Detergent mite do this,(react with bleach). not Tide or Cheer.
Did it 50 times.
Post pictures!
I might try this with a few old shirts of mine!
In Discharge Dyeing classes, the bleach is never used full strength. The strongest we use is 50-50 with water. Many instructors go with a 30% bleach solution to 70% water.
Yes, I've tried the bleach pen thing too. You have a lot of control and I was able to draw a decent tree with it.

Saturday, November 15, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (Nov. 14, 2003) - It was "Senior Night" for the East Tennessee State volleyball program at Brooks Gym on Saturday, but the biggest performance of the night came from an underclassman in the Buccaneer's 30-26, 30-16, 30-24 victory over Elon. ETSU sophomore Sara Scandiffio (Purcellville, Va.) notched a match-high 17 kills and .536 attack percentage, both career bests for the 6-foot-0 right side hitter. "Sara proved once again just how big of an asset she is to this team," said first-year head coach Lindsey Devine. "She was a wall out there and was instrumental in some of our key points." With the victory, ETSU (9-21, 7-11 SoCon) clinched a spot in the Southern Conference tournament, which begins next weekend in Chattanooga. Meanwhile, Elon completes its first season of competition in the SoCon with a respectable 7-11 mark in league play and 15-16 record overall. Elon started out strong and led game one by a score of 8-1. However, the Buccaneers battled back to tie the score at 13-13, before escaping with the 30-26 victory. ETSU then jumped out to an early lead in game two, but the Phoenix were able to keep it close for the duration. An attack error on Elon's Mary Hart eventually gave the Bucs a 2-0 lead going into intermission. ETSU took control of game three from the beginning but was victory was stalled at 29-20, while the Phoenix rattled off four consecutive points. The Buccaneers finally sealed the match on a thunderous kill by senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.), who was honored before the match, along with fellow senior Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.). "It was nice to highlight our two seniors who have continued to lead this team this year," said Devine. "Their energy was definitely a factor into getting our players mentally focused." Steidle recorded a double-double with 13 kills and 10 digs, as did freshman Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.), who dished out 41 assists and had a match-high 16 digs. Freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) hit .438 for the match in adding 10 kills on 16 attempts. One night after setting the school record for attack percentage (.727 vs. UNC Greensboro), Allen was silenced by being held to only five kills, but did tally three blocks. Three players reached double digits in kills for the Phoenix led by Emily Downing's 12 putaways. Juliena Gigon and Emily Hayes finished with 10 kills each. Hart totaled 37 assists for the evening, including the team's lone service ace. Meanwhile, M.K. Spear and Maria LaBrutto registered 11 and 10 digs, respectively. ETSU will represent the SoCon's North Division as the number four seed this Friday at 3 p.m. The Bucs will play the top-seeded team in the South, which will either be College of Charleston or Georgia Southern depending on Sunday's results. Charleston defeated ETSU in the tournament opener last season by a score of 3-0. The Buccaneers have dropped two matches to the Georgia Southern this season, and lost their only contest to the Cougars. "Things are coming together, and everything is flowing for us right now," said Devine. "It's every coaches dream to go to the tournament and peak at the right time -- I just want these girls to know that they are a talented, competitive team and the hard work and dedication they have put forth all season is paying off."

Bagdha Enterprises
Bagdha Enterprises provides employment for rural Bangladeshi women. Women come together in a central location to clean, sort and spin hemp fibers into rope and twine. The twine may then be used to make products such as purses and bath mitts. Many families depend solely on craft income to support themselves. An all-women management committee now directs the association's business. Benefits to producers include medical assistance and a producer development fund.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) began Bagdha Enterprises in 1982 to create employment for rural women. From a remote village with few resources and women with no education or employment experience, Bagdha has transformed the lives of these women artisans, their families and community. Bagdha now exports its products through various fair trade organizations in a number of countries.
The story of Bagdha Enterprises' beginnings makes its current success even more remarkable. Below are excerpts from the story as told by Doug Dirks, who was the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) job creation administrator in 1983 when the group began.
"Shahjahan Miah, MCC project development officer, visited Bagdha village at the request of a Catholic Church representative in Bangladesh. He returned to the office saying that the people he met were some of the poorest he had ever seen, and asked me to join him on his next visit.
"Bagdha was quite remote in the early 1980s; the only way to reach it was to travel by a combination of ferry boat, bicycle rickshaw and small boat. The trip took more than 20 hours—for a distance of only 75 miles.
"It was obvious Bagdha was a poor village. The houses were bamboo frame with grass thatched roofs and dirt floors—no bricks, corrugated iron sheet roofs or concrete foundations. We met with 20 women to talk about how MCC might help them develop a small business. Shahjahan had found out that hemp was an abundant and inexpensive local crop. He thought the women in Bagdha could learn to make rope and twine, and to sell it locally and for export.
"Most of the women we met were single mothers who had been widowed, divorced or abandoned. They had no education, no resources, no employment experience and were not respected in their community. They found it very difficult to feed their families, and could not even think of sending their children to school. This definitely looked like a group we should be working with.
"That evening, Shahjahan and I were invited to Nani Bala's house. We sat on a grass mat and were served chicken curry with rice. Only Shahjahan and I ate. Everyone else watched. When I asked why no one else was eating, Nani Bala said that we were the honored guests, so we should eat first. After some more questions, it turned out that we were eating the only chicken eaten in Bagdha in the past year. Most of the people watching us eat probably wouldn't eat at all that evening.
"Later, on a tour of the area, we ended up behind Nani Bala's house where we met her mother, lying on a grass mat on the ground. She didn't look well. Nani Bala explained that her mother hadn't eaten for a few days, and they were expecting her to die soon from starvation. There was not enough food for everyone in the family to eat all the time, so the oldest and weakest person, her mother, was not eating at all. Nani Bala's mother died the next day, while we were still in Bagdha. I realized this really was a place where we should try to establish a business, so at least some local people could earn some income for survival.
"Shahjahan recruited a rope and twine making family near Dhaka, the capital city, to provide training for the first 20 women. By the time I left Bangladesh in 1985, these women were making and exporting garden twine to Germany and England. They were beginning to earn some money, but were still a long way from economic security.
"When I was able to revisit Bagdha in 2001, the trip from Dhaka took less than four hours. Approaching the village, I noticed corrugated iron roofs, some brick walls and concrete floors and foundations. We were met by a group of 40 women who garlanded us with flowers and sat us down to a big rice and curry lunch. Everyone ate together, and all had plenty; no one was left on the sidelines. The group was making hemp rope and twine, as well as handmade paper products with three other enterprises in the area.
"Before we left, Nani Bala invited us to her house—now with a shiny corrugated roof, a concrete floor and real wood doors. She was the major wage earner for her extended family of 12. While drinking tea, Nani Bala shared her pride in her eldest daughter, enrolled in nursing college. Amazing! Nani Bala, a woman who had to watch her mother die of starvation 18 years earlier because of extreme poverty, was now the proud mother of a college-educated nurse. The income she had earned making hemp rope and twine was surely put to very good use."

It's been a while since my last post, as you can probably tell. The main reason is that I'm a busy mom. That's it. I don't have time to blog much at this stage. I don't know why I thought I could. Right now, Aiden and Terra are at school, and Eve is napping. Of course this time of day comes around most weekdays, but usually I'm wading through piles of dirty laundry and cleaning the house. I do have a load of laundry in, but other than that, I feel free as a bird. It's quite rare.
I realize that all of this may sound like I'm complaining, but that's not how I intend it at all. I love my kids. I'm just…explaining, for those who may not understand. I would give up all of my freedoms if it was a choice between that or my children. They are my everything, my light, my life, my joy. And I never knew just how frustrated I could be without blowing up until I had kids. They taught me patience. So much patience.
Anyway, I'll get to the point of this blog. This past weekend, my husband and I took the kids to the little park around the corner from our house. It was a rare, warm weekend in January (though it seems to be much warmer than usual these days…), so we thought we would enjoy the sunshine.
Aiden and Terra were playing on the merry-go-round with me while Mark pushed Eve on the little swing. Everyone was having a wonderful time. We took a lot of pictures of our laughing children. It was fabulous.
Until Aiden fell off of the merry-go-round. And broke his arm. Or course. I always feel like a bad mom when things happen to my kids. My heart stopped. I was terrified and horrified and guilty and about 26 different emotions all at once. We rushed him to the ER, and he got his cast. The whole ordeal took more than 4 and a half hours. With small children, this is not ideal. Luckily my husband took the girls home so I could stay with Aiden. I wasn't willing to leave him.
So, on a day that should have been perfect and full of family togetherness and fun, we collected one broken bone, nearly 5 hours in the ER, and a heck of a hospital bill. Aiden loves his cast though. All of his classmates scrawled their names all over it. One little girl drew hearts everywhere. Apparently, she is his "girlfriend." I'm stifling a chuckle here. I might have to write a post about his little friend before too long. Adeline is quite the flirt, I hear. And has three other boyfriends, according to Aiden. God help her.

Some Racist Bullies Picked A Fight With An 11-Year-Old Kid And Lost In Glorious Patriotic Splendor
So this amazing kid, Sebastien De La Cruz, a mariachi singer from the last season of "America's Got Talent," was asked at the last moment to sing the national anthem in the town he was born and raised in, San Antonio, Texas, USA, for the NBA Finals. He wore his mariachi outfit, which led to every xenophobic and ignorant person on Twitter saying some truly insipid, vile, racist things.
Fortunately for us, he handles such things with typical can-do American spirit. It only takes him 22 seconds to slap the ignorance right off their faces, in the classiest way possible (see the last video at the bottom).
First came the truly stunning rendition of the national anthem that he busted out.
Next came the special people with the blinding ignorance and xenophobia, courtesy of the Public Shaming Tumblr. They have a ton more awful ones on their site.
No, it's ironic how truly American this kid really is. Watch and learn.
It's totally up to you, but I'd love it if you shared this if you think we need to elevate the immigration debate in this country. This kind of ignorance shouldn't spread any further. Don't take my word for it though.
Please do not pay attention to the negative people. I am an American living the American Dream. This is part of the American life.— Sebastien De La Cruz (@selcharrodeoro) June 12, 2013
BONUS UPDATE: Almost all the racist twitter acounts have either been deleted out of shame or banned.

The Rant is The News-Sentinel's anonymous sound-off forum. The readers' views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of The News-Sentinel.
Was I better off four years ago? Heck, no! It looked as if our automobile industry was about to collapse, there were a record number of home foreclosures and we personally lost a big chunk of our retirement savings in the stock market. Republicans, please quit asking that stupid question!
It's nice when local stores provide electric scooters to those of us with disabilities. However, it's really frustrating when people use them and, although they return them to the right area, leave them turned on and not plugged in to recharge. "Neighborhood associations" — another layer of government we don't need!
Why can't all FWCS (Fort Wayne Community Schools) elementary school teachers have the extra 45-60 minutes each week for planning that certain ones do while the classified assistants are teaching the students in the classroom?
What does it say about the state of intelligence in America when millions of non-rich people continue to vote Republican?
Mitt Romney … seems to have a callous disregard for how … (his) policies may negatively impact poor and middle-class people.
As usual with FWCS (Fort Wayne Community Schools), it gets a grant and the first thing it wants to do is go out and start hiring non-teachers to build their empire and get somebody to manage their grant, because they can never do anything themselves.
After the ash trees are cut down, leave the strip bare. I don't want a $10 tax that will never go away. We'll save on maintenance, trimming and future storm damage. Let citizens plant a tree if they want to.
It's one thing to steal "Mitt Romney for President" signs, but they also not only took a Romney sign from my property but also took down my American flag and stole it.
Republicans love to say they support the troops. Then why is … (at least one) Republican senator currently blocking a bill which would give a cost of living increase to the benefits given to the surviving family of a soldier who is killed in Afghanistan?
If local school officials were competent, then they wouldn't have to worry about the state taking over.
Regarding Appleseed vendor (sorry for your bad experiences): Younger generations (older teens, 20s, 30s) do show more disrespect for others. … Unfortunately, they accept such behavior. The way a person expresses themselves, shows their level of intelligence — or lack thereof.

A-E-I-O-U Video Note-taking Worksheet
I really liked the Spotlight on Strategy (SOS) Challenge from December, 2012. It suggested using a table for students to take notes while watching video instruction. I created a worksheet based on the article and uploaded it to the Teacher Resource library for you to check out and download. Hope it helps you.

Subject: Generous Support of Children's Garden Project (Lititz, PA)
Received: April 3, 2000
Several weeks ago the children in my class wrote to you to request a catalog. You very generously responded with a catalog and a collection of seeds. Not just any old seeds -- instead it seems that they were carefully chosen for the historical theme of our four square garden.
Our garden is ready for planting and your seeds are happily sprouting in our light garden, waiting to move outside. The children are delighted and excited.
Thank you so much for your support of our project. We will remember your generosity as we watch our garden grow.
Hannah Bartges, Reidenbaugh School, Lititz, Pennsylvania, United States

What is the weapon with the mysterious 'G'?
A teaser film launched by HEAD Tennis today on http://www.youtube.com/headtennis proves that world's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic has already completed intense, secret testing with his sponsor to try out the new version of the Speed racquet – with some really spectacular results.
The teaser film shows exclusive footage from a secret test session with Novak Djokovic on a tennis court guarded by security people and fully draped with black cloth. The Serb arrives at the court with a black suitcase, which is handcuffed to his wrist and labeled with a mysterious 'G' logo. The security guards open the case and hand Novak Djokovic a black prototype racquet. Unfortunately, the camera is not allowed onto the court, so tennis fans will have to wait until beginning of next year to find out what really happened. But one thing is certain: The new weapon seems to provide extraordinary ball speed, as at the end of the racquet test one of Djokovic's serves destroys the fence of the tennis court.
So what is this mysterious 'G' giving Novak so much speed in his strokes? HEAD officially announced that the new racquet will be revealed and launched on January 11th, 2013.
However, 50 tennis players worldwide have the chance to already test the secret weapon prior to the launch date. Via http://www.head.com/G and http://www.facebook.com/headtennis fans can sign up to receive and test one of 50 exclusive HEAD prototypes, and leave a review for a chance to win a special prize – the black suitcase featured in the new HEAD spot.
The teaser film and testing initiative is the kick-off to a multi-level, digital and retail communication campaign by HEAD Tennis supporting the introduction of the new 2013 racquet collection. The objective of the campaign will be to activate tennis players around the world to demo new HEAD racquets and experience the 'G', which will be revealed on January 11th, 2013.

No matter where you're going, we can take you there.
In 1947, we introduced India to the utility vehicle. More than 65 years later, we're still India's premier utility vehicle (UV) company, but we've also grown quite a bit. In addition to making groundbreaking UVs like the Scorpio and Bolero, Mahindra offers cars, electric vehicles, pickups, and commercial vehicles that are rugged, reliable, environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient. The acquisition of the Ssangyong Motor Company in 2011, brought a major South Korean utility manufacturer with a presense in more than 90 coutries into the Mahindra fold. Our global presence means you can find Mahindra vehicles on the roads—both paved and unpaved—of Australia, Europe, Latin America, Malaysia, South Korea, and South Africa. And we're seeking out new terrain every day.
Mahindra is also there for you through the construction of excellent components, provision of spares, and commitment to superior service. Our automotive businesses cover all your transportation needs thanks to strategic synergies between our expertise in design, manufacturing, and service.
Our vehicles also meet global regulatory requirements such as End of Life Vehicles Directive (ELV) in the European Union (EU). All our EU export vehicles are ELV certified, ensuring safe dismantling and recycling of fluids in environment friendly manner, meeting recycling target of 85% and recovery standard of 95% where not more than 5% of the vehicle weight are sent to landfill.
On 27th June, 2014, Mahindra AFS was declared the Second Great Place to Work in manufacturing & production as well as the employer brand category and received an overall rank of 28 among the Top 100 Great Places to Work across 600 organizations spanning
over 20 industries.
We launched our first automotive business in 1947 assembling the iconic Willys Jeep under license in India.

Farm Art"Bonne journe'e mes amis"
Newest Project
Here is an update on my latest project.
It is a John Deere 70 with a mounted No.100 Sugar Beet Harvester. It will have two or three kids riding on the back with Pa running the rig. Just like I remember the good ol days in the mid to late 50's in the Yellowstone Valley. Will mount it in a field of sugar beets with leaves of steel. My memories
Have been working on this thing for a year, as we moved to a different place and haven't been able to get back to it till now. I don't want the parts too perfect as it would take too long and look too much like a model. I want it very evident that it was hand cut and welded. Like a painting you don't want to look too close at it. The most difficult part was the rear tractor wheels and tires. They aren't perfect by any means, but that is just the way the brush strokes fell. One must maintain general symmetry and straightness or it will turn into a distorted pile of junk.
The rear tires were the hardest pieces. To make them I made a full circle half dougnut mold in oak and beat two halves of 22 ga. into it. Then welded the two halves together and welded the turkey tracks to it. Lot of grinding back using Mr. Dremel. Tried bending 5/8" rod around a pipe, but couldn't get the bend sharp enough. That is a single wire around a ground groove in the front tire to make the rib. The weld is on the bottom. ...........Ken

I noticed this scene today and took a picture on my camera phone — sorry for the low quality.
But basically, this guy was 20 feet up in the air on a ladder right next to an extremely busy street in downtown Escazú. What happens if the ladder slips or falls and a car is going by? He was leaning all over the place handling presumably live electrical wires in an all-out downpour. I know the rain doesn't show up so well on this picture, but you can see how much water there was in the street because of the splash being generated by the car on the road.
I can't even imagine how crazy you have to be to do a job like this regularly. There are like 10 ways for this guy to die or get badly injured from the position he was in at the top of the ladder. Totally and utterly loco imo.

Don't even try to install this without a ratchet set. Using a wrench takes 3 times longer. The hole that you plug your air intake into the heat shield is too small and will take some ingenuity to work.

Our Lorne accommodation sites offer an easy jumping off point for visiting one of the region's most magnificent man-made features – its lighthouses. And now, before the summer crowd crush, is the time to go! An invigorating walk around these magnificent outposts will fill you with admiration for the men and women whose job it was to keep the Otway Coast safe.
The Cape Otway Lighthouse
This was first lit in 1848 and when it was decommissioned in 1994 it was the longest serving continually operating facility of its kind in the country. Take a walk around the grounds and learn how several dedicated families eked out an existence for one reason and one reason only – to keep the light alive. With supplies only arriving twice a year, these families had to keep their own livestock, grow vegetables, cut firewood and deal with the native Gadabanud Tribe while surviving in a loneliness most would find maddening.
The Telegraph Station on the grounds once performed a vital shipping function. Built in 1859, its job was to communicate the vessels passing Cape Otway to the Port of Melbourne. These days, it's a fascinating history lesson that will entrance.
Split Point Lighthouse
A short drive to Aireys Inlet will see you gazing skyward toward Split Point Lighthouse. This beacon offers regular 45 minute tours so be sure to bring stair-walking shoes and take your vertigo pills – her 34 meter climb will take your breath away before the view does. Once you have reached the pinnacle, hold onto the rail and soak in the spectacle. It's magnificent!
There's something about a lighthouse that makes you ask, "Could I have lived in these harsh conditions?" Of course the answer is, "No. It doesn't have a big screen TV." Nonetheless, it's sometimes interesting to ponder. So return to your spacious and comfortable Lorne accommodation to complete your ponderings with a glass of Shiraz.

It's not uncommon for a member of our team here at the ASPCA to fall in love with one of the animals at our Adoption Center. Luckily for a sweet senior named Hennessy, Todd Speciale, a Client Services Representative at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, did just that.
Todd and Hennessy's bond grew over the course of the year that Hennessy spent with us, waiting to join a loving family. Todd says he visited Hennessy each day during his lunch break.
Todd eventually decided to see how well Hennessy would fit in with his family, especially with his two young boys. When Hennessy's week-long home visit went smoothly, Todd decided to make the adoption official.
"Hennessy has adjusted extremely well to living with her new family," Todd says. "She is such a sweet and loving dog. She is very good with my two young boys. She loves to go on walks, and most of all, she loves to give kisses. We think she greatly appreciates us for saving her, and we greatly appreciate her for being her."
We think Hennessy is very lucky to have found such a loving home at long last.
"She is a sweetheart, and I am so glad I was able to adopt her," adds Todd.

Want to skip the totally unnecessary "wait to download" pages on Rapidshare, Megaupload and more? SkipScreen, and add-on for Firefox is here to help.
I always hate reaching a download page that tells me I have to wait five seconds, ten minutes, three hours before I can start downloading a file. Why is it there? Well, it is a trick to be used to make you look at their advertisements.
What free file hosting services does SkipScreen allow to to skip?
- Rapidshare
- Megaupload
- DepositFiles
- Divshare
- Linkbucks
- Link-protector
- and more are on the way…
If the developers need a list to work from, I have found more than a few free file hosting alternatives myself. Here is a screen shot of SkipScreen in action, helping you to start the download before the "your download will begin shortly" even gets going.
So, what if these free file hosting services update themselves to break the SkipScreen add-on? While that is a possibility, SkipScreen adjusts to the changes at these sharing sites, and updates to match their updates.
As the developer puts it, "Why click through ad-laden pages and wait for countdowns when your computer can do it for you?". That is a good question, and now thanks to the SkipScreen add-on for Firefox, you will not be wasting anymore of your time waiting for the download to begin.

Scottish Singing Sensation Susan Boyle has broken a world record with the most pre-ordered album in Amazon history.
The Britain's Got Talent runner up's first album I Dreamed a Dream is due to be released on Monday 23rd November and is predicted to top the album charts.
'Su-bo' will also be appearing on the X-Factor this Sunday to sing a track from her new album.
Julian Monagham, head of music buying at Amazon.co.uk told the Telegraph: "Just eight months ago, no one was aware of the talents of Susan Boyle. Now, she has generated more Amazon pre-order CD sales than any other artist.
"That is an incredible achievement and is testament to the fact that she has captured the hearts of people all over Britain, America and the rest of the world."
Edinburgh Napier News caught up with one of Susan's oldest friends, Suzanne Clifford, from her hometown Blackburn.
Suzanne says she remembers Susan's singing: "I didn't know that she could sing until she got up and sang in the pub one night and it was just absolutely amazing."
Suzanne worked in the local pub where Susan would wow the punters singing songs from her favourite musicals every week on the karaoke.
Susan also toured with the pub band and entered competitions, so it was of no surprise to the people of Blackburn when Susan finally got her big break on Britain's Got Talent.
Suzanne recalls the whole town getting behind Susan when she was on the talent show: "It was amazing because all the pubs and houses had banners and posters up everywhere saying 'Go Susan' and 'Vote for Susan'."

Diamond T Torque Converter, Dodge (1994-02) 5.9L Cummins, 600hp Single Disk, Low Stall
These Torque Converters are built in the USA with the highest grade components and come with a 3 year warranty. They are designed to improve acceleration, pulling power, and efficiency of your vehicle to the max. Unlike other "mass produced" re-manufactured torque converters, Diamond T technicians keep all of the original parts together during the re-manufacturing process to assure a matched set of components. Other re-manufacturers disassemble hundreds of torque converters and mix all of the parts in large bins. Keeping the parts together results in improved quality. All parts are inspected thoroughly and any marginal parts are replaced. They take the TIME to build quality into each and every Torque Converter. Many other companies do not measure the thickness of the housing and when they machine the surface it makes the metal too thin and leads to early failure. If your housing is less than the OEM specs, they replace it with a new one. The torque converters are precision balanced with a computerized balancer. Only the best clutch materials are used. The torque converters are pre-charged with transmission fluid. This helps to prevent rust on the internal components leading to early failure in case it is exposed to any humidity before installation. Quality testing is performed on each and every Torque Converter before it leaves the facility. This single disk billet cover Low Stall torque converter for the 5.9L Cummins is rated for up to 600hp and 900tq. Stall speed is about 1400-1500rpm, but will vary depending on horsepower of truck.

text: So we have a rookie QB improving every week, a defense that is only getting better and becoming a top 10 unit and it still isn't good enough for some people. For once it seems like we are on pace to break the mold of mediocrity and become a legitimate contender for years to come. The pieces are in place, the players who do not buy in are gone. I guess it just isn't enough for some people
