Being the True History of the Adventures of Fanny Hackabout-Jones

The Introduction to the Work or Bill of Fare to the Feast.
I, Fanny Hackabout-Jones, having been blest with long Life, which makes e'en the Harshest Events of Youth pale to Insignificance or, i'faith, appear as Comedies, do write this History of my Life and Adventures as a Testament for my only Daughter, Belinda.
I have, in other Documents, left this most Excellent Young Woman my Houses, my Lands, my Jewels, the Care of my Dogs, Horses, and Domestick Animals, and yet I am convinced that the ensuing History shall have more Value to her than all the Riches I have acquir'd in my Life, either by my Pen or by my Person. For tho' 'tis no easy Thing to be born a Man in this Vale of Tears, 'tis more difficult still to be born a Woman. Yet I believe I have prosper'd despite this Capricious Destiny, or e'en because of it, and what better Legacy can I give to my beloved Belinda than a full and true Account of that very Life which hath been so oft' distorted, slander'd, or us'd to inspire scandalous Novels, lascivious Plays, and wanton Odes?
If these Pages oft' tell of Debauchery and Vice, 'tis not in any wise because their Author wishes to condone Wickedness, but rather because Truth, Stark-Naked Truth, demands that she write with all possible Candour, so that the Inheritor of this Testament shall learn how to avoid Wickedness or indeed transform it into Goodness.
All possible Care hath been taken to give no deliberate Offence to Modesty or Chastity; yet the Author avows that Truth is a sterner Goddess than Modesty, and where there hath been made necessary a Choyce betwixt the Former and the Latter, Truth hath, quite rightly, triumph'd.
If some of the Episodes in the ensuing History offend the gentler Sensibilities of an Age less lusty than that which gave me birth, let the Reader put it down to the Excesses of my Epoch, the doubtless impoverish'd Origins of my poor Natural Parents, the Lack of Formal Education occasion'd by my Sex, and the Circumstances of my Life, which caus'd me to make my Living by my Wits, my Pen, and my Beauty.
The World is so taken up of late with Histories and Romances in which Vice fore'er perishes and Virtue triumphs, that the intended Reader may wonder why Vice is not always punish'd and Virtue not always rewarded in these Pages, as in the Histories of Mr. Fielding and Mr. Richardson; to which your Humble Author can only reply that 'tis Truth we serve here, not Morality, and with howe'er much Regret we affirm it, ne'ertheless we must affirm that Truth and Morality do not always, alas, sleep in the same Bed.
'Tis a trite but true Observation that Examples work more forcibly upon the Mind than Precepts; yet whilst the Male Sex hath had no Derth of Examples of Greatness from Jesus of Nazareth to William Shakespeare, the Bard of Stratford, the Members of the Female Sex search in vain for Great Women on whom to model their perilous Destinies.
The Authors of contemporary Novels and Romances do little Service in this regard, for either they prate of Female "Vartue," a Luxury which few Women can afford, and only the dullest and most witless can tolerate, or they condemn Female Vice in such Terms that upon reading these Male Authors, any spirited Young Woman should resolve to slit her own Throat forthwith. Neither Pamela Andrews, with her incessant Scribbling of her "Vartue," nor tiresome Clarissa Harlowe, with her insuff'rable Weeping and Letter-writing, nor yet the gentle Sophia Western of whom Mr. Fielding so prettily writes, nor the wicked Moll Flanders of whom Mr. Defoe so vigorously writes, shines out as an Example upon which a Flesh-and-Blood Female can model her Life. For Life, as the Ancients knew, is neither Tragedy nor Comedy, but an Intermingling of the twain. 'Tis a Feast in which one is serv'd delicate Viands as well as spicy Hashes and Ragoos; rotten Meats as well as exquisite Fruits; exotick Spices and Sauces as well as plain Country Fare. If 'tis thus for Man, imagine how much more so for Woman! Woman who is ev'rywhere in Nature misunderstood and apprehended only as the Embodiment of Virtue or the Embodiment of Vice.
I have endeavour'd in this History to show the Falsity of these Embodiments; for like the aforemention'd Feast of Life, Woman is a Mixture of Sweets and Bitters. I here solemnly protest that not only have I no Intention to asperse or vilify anyone, but that ev'rything herein is copied faithfully from the Great Book of Nature and that I, your Author, am no more than an humble Amanuensis.CHAPTER 2
A short Description of my Childhood with particular Attention to the Suff'rings of my Step-Mother, Lady Bellars.
I was born in the Reign of Queen Anne, but the exact Date of my Birth I did not, for many Years, know, owing to the unfortunate Occurrence of my having been abandon'd upon a Doorstep in tend'rest Infancy. Whether my Natural Parents were, as the Saying goes, poor but honest, or whether they were poor and vicious, I could not in Good Conscience say. That they were poor was a fair enough Conjecture, else why would they have left a helpless Babe of their Begetting upon the Doorstep of a Great House in the Neighbourhood?
The Foster-Parents that Fate thus arranged for me were nam'd Bellars: Laurence Bellars and his Lady, Cecilia. Lord Bellars had been born of impoverish'd Noble Ancestry, having had settl'd upon him a Family Seat as heavily mortgaged as our Chestnut Trees were heavy with Chestnuts; but thro' judicious Employment of his Wife's Dowery to finance his Speculations in Stock of the East India Company as well as thro' Holdings in the Bank of England, he had grown extreamly rich, and ev'rything he did, it seem'd, made him richer. So able was he at Speculation, that e'en during the South Sea Bubble, when I was but a Young Girl, he was one of the few that not only prosper'd, but managed to transfer his Earnings into Land before the Bubble burst. I'faith, that Scandal, which was the Ruin of so many, provided our Estate with another two thousand Acres, not to mention paying our Debts and providing us with yet a more handsome Equipage, and still more Footmen in gorgeous Livery.
Lord Bellars chose to live mainly in London, pleading the Excuse of his business Dealings; tho' i'faith, Gaming and Whoring probably occupied many of his Leisure Hours. He left his Wife, Cecilia, to preside o'er the Great House and Park in Wiltshire and to instruct the Children—Daniel, Mary, and myself—in the Virtues which he had neither Time nor Inclination to impart, either by Precept or by Example.
My Position in the Family was neither that of an Inheritor of the Family Fortune, nor that of a Servant. I was a Foundling, lov'd for my Quick Wit, my russet Curls, and my playful Disposition, yet not granted the Indulgences given to a proper Child, who, for better or worse, is of one's own Blood.
I was e'er a Bookworm, loving to read almost from the Time I was given my first Alphabet. In a Day when Girls were commonly thought to need no Education but the Needle, Dancing, and the French Tongue (with perhaps the Addition of a little Musick upon the Harpsichord or Spinet), I was plund'ring My Lord's Library for Tonson's Poetical Miscellanies, new Books by Mr. Pope and Mr. Swift, as well as older ones by Shakespeare, Milton, Boccaccio, Boileau, and Moliere. Latin I was left to teach myself; for tho' that Noble Tongue was consider'd the Mark of Erudition in a Man, 'twas deem'd superfluous to Womankind. I'faith, I ne'er could comprehend why Daniel, a rather dull-witted, lazy Boy, but a Year my senior, should be sent to Day School to learn Latin, Greek, Algebra, Geometry, Geography, and the Use of Globes, whilst I, who was so much quicker, was encouraged only in Pastry-making, Needlepoint, and French Dancing, and laugh'd at for being vain of my fine Penmanship. Yet of all the Crafts I learnt in Childhood, Writing is the one that hath stood me in greatest Stead during my whole Life and hath most distinguish'd me from other Women. Beauty, alas, fades; Riches may be lost in one Turn of Fortune's Wheel. A Woman with a fine Dowery can fall into the Hands of a Rogue who will not e'en allow her Pin-Money, and will gamble away her Widow's Jointure and leave her nothing but Play-Debts and hungry Mouths to feed; but a Woman of Learning who can make her Living with her Quill is more secure of the Future (tho' all the Coffeehouse Wits may scoff) than any Woman whatsoe'er. For what is Marriage but a Form of indentur'd Service in which the Wife gives up all (her Name, her Fortune, her very Health and physical Constitution) to secure the occasional Night-time Visits of a Knave with whom she shares nothing but a Roof and a Nursery full of screaming Babes?
My Step-Mother, Lady Bellars, was one of the most wretched Creatures who e'er liv'd, tho' had she been a Man her Fortune and Beauty would have made her happy. Too clever to spend her Life betwixt the Tea-Table and the Card-Table, too sweet of Disposition to nag and scold her Husband for his long Absences, his Whoring and Gaming, and too timid to be a Female Rake in the Fashion of the Day, and use her Married State as a Cloak to cover divers Amours, she languished in the Country, devoting herself to her Children far past the Age when they requir'd her Care, and to a Menagerie of Beasts on whom she lavish'd more than natural Maternal Affection.
In addition to three Lapdogs and a Parrot, she kept a Marmoset Monkey, two Paroquets of Guinea, four Cockatoos, three Macaws, a dozen scarlet Nightingales from the West Indies, a half-dozen Canaries (both ash and lemon Colour), two dozen or so white and grey Turtledoves from Barbary, and num'rous Milk-white Peacocks that hopp'd freely around the Park. So devoted was she to her Menagerie that e'en upon the rare Occasions when Lord Bellars sent for her to come to London, she declin'd, pleading the Care of her Animals.
Thus, from my earliest Childhood, I had before me the Example of what a blighted, unloving Marriage could do to a Woman of tender Disposition, and I resolv'd in my Heart ne'er to let become of me what had become of my gentle Step-Mother, who, I sincerely believ'd, was driven half mad by the painful Betrayals practis'd upon her by her Husband.
Where a less tender Soul would have given Tit for Tat and repaid her Husband's Amours with Cuckoldry and Back-Talk, Lady Bellars withdrew into her Menagerie, until at last, when she was a white-hair'd old Woman, she spoke more to her Peacocks and Turtledoves than she did to human Visitors.
Let that be a Lesson to you, I would silently command my Heart as I listen'd to my Step-Mother speaking to her Menagerie; and tho' I learnt from her the Love of Animals which hath lasted to this Day, I also learnt to be wary of the Male Sex and to view ev'ry handsome Gallant and Man of Pleasure as a likely Robber of my Wits and my Peace of Mind. That Lesson, above all, hath been the Making of whate'er Good Fortune I have enjoy'd upon this Earth.
I'faith, like Belinda in "The Rape of the Lock" (a Poem which I read and read again thro'out my younger Years), my Guardian Angel taught me one Lesson above all others:
This to disclose is all thy Guardian can.
Beware of all, but most beware of Man!CHAPTER 3
In which I meet my first Great Man, and learn the Truth of that Maxim: "'Tis easier to be a Great Man in one's Work than in one's Life."
That lesson was to be tested soon enough. Thro'out the Peace and Plenty of my Country Childhood, I was told I was growing into a Beauty. I say this out of no Immodesty; i'faith, I scarce believ'd it myself. Like most Young Girls, when I lookt at myself in the Glass, I saw nought but my own grievous Faults; yet was I call'd a Beauty so oft' that I came to understand the World regarded me thus. 'Twas merely the Condition of my Life that I should set Swains to sighing and Footmen to fondling my Hand longer than need be whilst helping me down from Chariots.
Just as my Step-Sister, Mary, was stubby and stout, had a Face like a Suet Pudding, and Hair of Mouse Colour, I was, by the perilous Age of Seventeen, straight and tall (too tall, I thought), with flaming Hair (too russet for my Taste), the brownest of Eyes (would that they were green!), a Bosom blue-white as skimm'd Milk (I minded not the Colour but the Size!), long taper'd Fingers (O my Hands were pretty—I would grant that!), and slender Legs (but who should see 'em 'neath my Petticoats?) ending in clever Feet that could do any complicated Dance whatsoe'er (for all the Good 'twould do me here in the dull Country!). In fact, I was greatly devoted to a Book call'd The Dancing Master, which listed no less than 358 diff'rent Figures and Tunes for Country Dances; and I knew as well how to twirl, flip and flirt a Fan, how to behave most fetchingly at Tea-Table, and how to place Patches to the best advantage upon my oval Cheaks. For all these Things, I was teaz'd and tormented by Daniel and silently hated by Mary, whilst my poor distracted Step-Mother tended to her Animals and seem'd wholly oblivious of the Fact that her three tender Human Charges were no longer little Babes, but were growing to an Age when all the Envies, Vices, and Temptations of the World might snare 'em.
'Twas about that Season in our Lives when Lord Bellars, who had been chiefly in London o'er the last three Years (with only brief Visits Home), came into the Country for a Stay of sev'ral Months.
When the News reach'd me that he was bringing down from London with him no less a Personage than the Great Poet Mr. Alexander Pope, I could hardly believe my Ears. Mr. Pope—whose "Rape of the Lock" I had got almost by Heart! Mr. Pope, whose Divine Quill had written the Lines:
Then cease, bright Nymph! to mourn thy ravish'd Hair
Which adds new Glory to the shining Sphere!
Not all the Tresses that fair Head can boast
Shall draw such Envy as the Lock you lost.
For, after all the Murders of your Eye,
When, after Millions slain, your Self shall die;
When those fair Suns shall set, as set they must,
And all those Tresses shall be laid in Dust;
This Lock, the Muse shall consecrate to Fame,
And mid'st the Stars inscribe Belinda's Name.
Mr. Pope, whose tender Heart had bled for an unknown Lady buried in a foreign Land....
By foreign Hands thy dying Eyes were clos'd,
By foreign Hands thy decent Limbs compos'd,
By foreign Hands thy humble Grave adorn'd,
By Strangers honour'd, and by Strangers mourn'd!
A Man who could write like that must be the most sensitive Soul that e'er liv'd! He must have Eyes that see ev'rything and a Heart that beats out the Suff'rings of the smallest Creature alive. Here, perchance, was a Man who could understand me, a Man with a great enough Heart, a great enough Mind—not like the foolish Country Boys who gap'd at me in the Village, not like Daniel, who could think of nothing but Excuses for jostling me upon the Stair or thrusting his greasy Hands into my Bosom.
For a Week, the whole Household was engaged in Preparations. Pigeons and Partridges were shot and pluckt. Oysters were brought from Market and boil'd in their own Juices, and extravagant Receipts were taken from Cookery Books. Upon the Day after the Poet's Arrival with Lord Bellars we were to have all the local Gentry in to meet our distinguished Visitor and to feast upon Spinach Tarts made with Nutmeg, Cloves, and Lemon Peel, Patty of Calves' Brains with Asparagus, stew'd Oysters, roast Pigeons, roast Partridges, three sorts of Pudding, and a royal Dish called "Fruits with Preserv'd Flow'rs," which took two Days to prepare, being a Concoction of Paste of Almonds, inlaid with red, white, blue, and green Marmalade in the Figures of Flow'rs and Banks, with upright Branches of candied Flow'rs made from glaz'd Cherryes, Apples, Gooseberries, Currants, and Plums.
But I would hardly be in any Mood to eat.
All Day I linger'd at the Windows of my Bedchamber, dreaming o'er a Book of Mr. Pope's Poetry, fancying myself invited to London to mingle with Wits in a Coffee-House, to stroll thro' Pall Mall or Covent Garden, to go by Wherry to Twickenham with Mr. Pope and be invited to view his fam'd Faery Grotto.
I must have changed my Gown three Times that Day, throwing off Dresses and putting 'em on as if I were a Strolling Actress in a Barn! First, I wore the Dove-grey Saque-backt Silk with the yellow Stomacher and Apron; then I changed into a blue Gown with my prettiest embroider'd Apron and a Tucker of white Lace; but at last, I chose a Cherry-colour'd Damask with no Tucker at all, because I had heard that Ladies in London wore their Bosoms almost bare and I did not wish to be thought a plain Country Wench!
'Twas almost Twilight when the Chariot with six Horses clatter'd into view, greeted by the Barking of all our Dogs. Yet still I linger'd at my Window, dabbing my Bosom out of a Vial of Tuberose Scent, biting my Lips to make 'em redder.

Every spring, gardeners have the beguiling sensation of making a fresh start. Blinded by optimism of the most irrational kind, we start acquiring plants rather faster than plans as to what we are going to do with them. Ceanothus, chaenomeles, anemone, spurge, each becomes the centre of a new dream. The danger of this spring euphoria is that we end up with a garden crammed with plants that are at their best in April and May but have nothing to show for the rest of the year.
All gardens need an underpinning of structural plants, things that are the equivalent of the most important pieces of furniture in a room. Some of them should be evergreen, so that in winter, the garden does not entirely dissolve into a mess of rotting leaves and skeletal branches. These structural plants will hold the whole garden together between the seasons, while the tulips come and go, the roses bloom and the dahlias build up to their late summer peak.
In choosing these landmark plants, we should be looking for things that provide a long season of interest, that are architectural in form, or that have leaves as good as their flowers. Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii is an outstanding example of a plant that has presence the whole year round, not just when it is flowering. If you've got space for it, shrubby Euphorbia mellifera is equally good. So is the variegated dogwood, Cornus alba 'Elegantissima'. Through winter and early spring it's a spacy construct of bright red stems, upright when young, arching as they age. Then it leafs up and becomes an elegant beacon, the stems clothed in softly variegated leaves. I'm not generally a fan of variegated plants – they are often too fussy – but the dogwood manages the stunt beautifully.
With these big pieces of furniture in place, you can start filling up the gaps in between. It helps to think of planting as a three-tier affair. Three separate groups of plants can occupy the same piece of ground, though not all will necessarily come to a peak at the same time. High up you have trees and large shrubs, in the middle tier the herbaceous perennials, and scrabbling around underneath, low-growing ground-cover plants and bulbs. By using the space carefully, you can ensure, for instance, that a spring flowering tree has summer-flowering perennials under it, interspersed with bulbs, perhaps colchicums, that come spearing through the ground in autumn. That patch of ground will be earning its keep over a long season in the garden.
In the kind of garden most of us have, we will need more plants to fill the middle and bottom layers than the top. And in my own garden, I feel that the second half of summer is never as good as the first. So I'm trying to make one border sing particularly well from July to September; even if the rest of the garden is quiet then, I'll have one bit that is at its peak. The backdrop is made up of Irish yews, still young but already making good, strong evergreen pillars. Within the bed, the landmark plants, the permanent pieces of furniture, are spurges, the shrubby Euphorbia stygiana from the Azores – fabulous sea green foliage and lime-green flowers in May and June – and the smaller Euphorbia characias 'Portuguese Velvet' with equally good evergreen foliage. Both would be worth growing for their leaves alone.
Because one of the few rules in gardening is that you can never have too many spurges, I've also added Euphorbia palustris which comes into bloom slightly later than the others (June-July). The flowers, though an extraordinary, wild lime-green, tone well with any colour you put with them. They are elegant with white, cool with blue, stunning with pink, sophisticated with yellow. Structure is important too; the plants hold themselves well and have excellent foliage, so it's not surprising that spurges should be among your best friends when you are planning planting schemes.
There are a few grasses in the bed too, though less than I started with. Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' was a noisy disaster last summer, the flowering stems collapsing all over their neighbours before even July had finished, so I'm going to try Stipa brachytricha in its place. It's tall – 140-150cm – but I like that and perhaps it'll be able to hold itself with more grace than the much-hyped calamagrostis. I hope so, because I want it to partner the old rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' that in a good season produces its yellow daisy flowers all the way through from August to October.
Inula will do that too, though it's even taller than the rudbeckia and may turn out to be too coarse an ingredient for this particular mix. Verbascums would be safer, though the flowers start earlier and have usually shot their bolt by August. Many have yellow flowers, but Verbascum phoeniceum 'Rosetta' has spires of carmine pink flowers; 'Violetta' is slightly taller with spikes of purplish-violet. Sunflowers are another option. I tried to do them last summer in that border, but after I'd planted out more than 20 lusty young plants, lovingly raised from seed, the whole lot were eaten by slugs. Or snails. I didn't see them at it. If I had, it wouldn't have happened.
For the lowest level of planting, you can scarcely do better than herbaceous geraniums, especially if you choose the newish blue one called 'Brookside' which has an astonishingly long flowering season. 'Rozeanne' is good too, though the habit is different. It doesn't make big clumps like 'Brookside' but wanders about, like the older variety 'Buxton's Blue', throwing arms of blue flower into anything around it, friendly but not overbearing. Salvias (even the native meadow clary, S. pratensis) have never been quite as reliable or as long-lasting in our garden, but I'm thinking of having another go with the one called 'Indigo'. The flowers are carried in whorls up the lax stems, lippy, like all salvia flowers and a violet kind of blue. If the rabbits are kind and the rain not too infrequent, this collection of plants should see us through the down-time of August very nicely.

If you think you are treated unfairly in the workplace through your age, race, sexual orientation, gender, appearance or possibly a physical ability, then you can be able to make a discrimination case. Employers are obliged to gauge people purely how well they could do their jobs. - workplace discrimination attorney austin
A dentist's office discrimination attorney work together with you to create an instance concerning how you're treated, and the way which is unfair. They're going to inform you what evidence you have to gather to show that discrimination took place, and they can assist you to put together a powerful case.
Naturally, your employer will be looking to prove that the opposite holds true - that they did not promote you or provide you with a raise because they believe you might be less allowed to get the job done. Proving otherwise will be the job person and your attorney, and it will take some effort on both of the parts. The cases can be long and long, nevertheless, you should fight for what you imagine in, because everyone has to get equal treatment and equal pay on the job always. - workplace discrimination attorney austin

|Sara Stevens
In light of Bullying Prevention Month coming up, 13 year-old pop-opera singer, Sara Stevens was a victim of bullying and could serve as a remarkable role model for her peers. Unfortunately, Sara knows all too well the tortures of being bullied for being "different". Instead of being defeated by the teasing and harsh words, she found solace and a new found confidence, through singing. While she is only 13, some of Sara's accomplishments include performing in La Boheme with the Atlanta Opera; singing the National anthem at the New York Giants vs. New England Patriots game; and gracing the legendary stage at Carnegie Hall. She's now working on her album with famed producer Paul Schwartz of Phantom Of the Opera on Broadway. Please check out Sara's EPK at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkdh6p5NKkQ&feature=youtu.be to see all the new and exciting projects she is working on. Additionally, she wrote a song about her experiences called "Dance In This Dream" to use her voice to stand up to bullying and show the world how music has helped her overcome her struggles.

ISSUE: Economic development in Radcliff
OUR VIEW: Council is correct to question process
Before ever taking the oath of office, Mike Weaver is setting the agenda in Radcliff.
Anxious to fulfill a key election commitment, the mayor-elect has been moving ahead to hire an economic development specialist.
ISSUE: Leaving county clerk's office after 16 years
OUR VIEW: Consider Hardin County fortunate
Sixteen years ago, Kenny Tabb became county clerk. Hardin County residents are fortunate that it became a second career for the retired educator.
ISSUE: The legislative career of Rep. Dwight Butler
OUR VIEW: Service is marked by integrity, consistency and honor
ISSUE: Jimmie Lee's legislative term is ending
OUR VIEW: His service touched countless others
Jimmie Lee's legislative career spanned more than two decades and amassed multiple awards for service to his community and his fellow man.
ISSUE: Retirement of Sheriff Charlie Williams
OUR VIEW: Hardin County owes a debt of gratitude
Over the past several weeks, the respectable occupation of law enforcement has been shown very little by some across the country.
ISSUE: Hardin County unemployment rate
OUR VIEW: October snapshot is encouraging
The latest statistics released by Kentucky's Education and Workforce Cabinet reflect very good news for Hardin County and Kentucky.
ISSUE: Take advantage of the opportunity to give
OUR VIEW: Plenty of areas to help around the area
Never is the timing more clear for the adage, "It's better to give than to receive'' then right now as we inch closer to Christmas.

OUR VIEW: Plenty of areas to help within Hardin County
Never is the timing more clear for the old adage, "It's better to give than to receive'' then right now as we inch closer to Christmas.
ISSUE: Zoning change rejected for housing project
OUR VIEW: It's not about the YMCA
The Elizabethtown City Council recently rejected a zoning change for property at the corner of Pear Orchard Road and Ring Road. Owned by Tim Aulbach, the land is prime real estate within the city limits.
Many careers begin with a passion. That's true in the field of education.
Passion for learning and a desire to share fuels the best teachers to greatness. As with other professions, the best of the best get noticed and sometimes find themselves with career opportunities that take them far away from that original passion.

Comments from daedsiluap1
I completely agree with you. I was so glad that the Beatles topped Michael Jackson. I would have liked to see about 10 others do the same, but whatever. It seems that having the media over-exploit your death can get you far, but it can't get you past the Beatles. He was a good artist, had a few hits, had one of the best selling albums of all time. Yea. So did ABBA, but no one gives them the same appreciation. I can't believe people are saying to put him at number one. I feel like having the same gagging fit I had when his death was said to be the most shocking thing in music history. That's right. Not John Lennon being shot, not The Day the Music Died. MJ's overdose. And the people defending him are the same idiots that wouldn't even listen to him before he died because they didn't want to listen to a pedaphile. Seriously. Can anyone think for themselves around here? I agree with Madonna as well. I was also pretty upset about Billy Joel being number 51. Billy Joel being behind Sade? Wtf?

Overview -
In a final rule approved yesterday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended Rule 506 of Regulation D to permit issuers utilizing the exemption from registration to engage in general solicitation and general advertising so long as all purchasers are accredited investors (or reasonably believed to be accredited) and the issuer has taken reasonable steps to verify accredited investor status. The final rule amendments allowing for general solicitation and advertising will be effective 60 days following publication in the Federal Register, which is likely to occur within three to ten days from today.
However, the impending elimination of the longstanding prohibition on general solicitation and advertising in Rule 506 offerings has caused many commentators and some of the SEC's commissioners to express concern that investors will no longer be sufficiently protected in such offerings. Therefore, in conjunction with yesterday's final rule, the SEC proposed additional rules that, if approved, would subject issuers that engage in general solicitation and advertising to additional disclosure requirements discussed below, which may discourage the use of general solicitation by some issuers.

Featured video and audio clips on Tully Banta-Cain brought to you by Boston's WEEI Sports Radio.
We discuss some of the Patriots off-season moves as we approach the summer, and how some projected holes may be filled.
the afterthoughts they've successfully coached up to good seasons, such as rush specialists Mark Anderson, Tully - Banta Cain and Andre Carter. Jones is a loss, no question. But not an insurmountable one. And finally: 1. In Bill We
gone on. As I've said before, anyone can be plugged into this system and become a 10-sack guy. Just ask Tully Banta - Cain 's agent. But Sheard is doing way more than being just (to use Mike Pettine's expression) a bitch-kitty pass rusher. On a third-and-1 in the second quarter, the Titans shifted to an offset-I away from his side, so he shifted tight to the end, blew up a block attempt
Sheard. If we've learned anything from watching this team over the years and looking at the free agent deals of Tully Banta - Cain and Mark Anderson , Bill Belichick can turn any slappie into a 10-sack situational edge rusher. But Sheard does more. He's got the power and technique to push the pocket from the middle. He came off the edge to produce two strip sacks. And on one
flat/curl responsibility. I have no doubt that in a league where ex-Patriots nobodies like Mark Anderson and Tully Banta - Cain cashed in big time, some team is going to come along and pay Jones dump trucks filled with money. — Branch made several big plays and is showing a pretty good
of him, and then other GMs will break into their Swear Jar money to get him. It happened with Mark Anderson , Tully Banta - Cain , Jabar Gaffney and dozens of others. And it will happen with Collins. For the Pats , getting Collins coached up and adding

pretty good success with seventh-rounders in the past (Edelman, David Givens , Matt Cassell , Alfonzo Dennard and Tully Banta - Cain ), and Gallon could be the latest. By the numbers: According to Football Outsiders, Patriots' receivers dropped 38 passes in 2014, more
the New England Patriots have actually panned out fairly well with Patrick Pass (2000), David Givens (2002), Tully Banta - Cain (2003) Matt Cassel (2005), Julian Edelman (2009), Brandon Deaderick (2010) and Alfonzo Dennard (2012) . This season, the Patriots selected Michigan wide receiver Jeremy Gallon in the seventh-round
Edelman (2009) as seventh-round pickups. (That doesn' t include defensive players like Alfonzo Dennard , Tully Banta - Cain and Brandon Deaderick , all of whom have started in their careers with New England.) That' s some good production for a spot that some might consider a throwaway pick.

text: According to the gospels of Matthew and Mark, the Lord was annointed with precious ointment by a woman from a box of alabaster. On that day Jesus prophesied that, "Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her." With this prophecy in mind, please answer this question: has there been any preacher of the gospel since the days of Christ who did not have access to the record of this woman's good deed to the Savior?

Quality Produce in Demand
For many years farmers have taken the time to grow their food properly. From using nutrient-rich soil to harvesting crops at the peak of the season, many farmers strive to deliver the greatest quality produce possible. Due to increasing demand and the growing need to cut down costs, farmers are forced to compromise the integrity of their produce. Instead of using soil rich in a vast multitude of minerals, many farmers turn towards using nutrient-poor soil. It does not stop there. The time-constraint of having to deliver the produce to the marketplace before it spoils forces many farmers to pick their produce prematurely. Consequently, produce is not allowed to ripen naturally but rather ripens via fermentation.
According to recent studies, fruit that is ripened to perfection prior to being picked is superior in quality and nutrition. For this reason, many consumers are turning towards "tree-ripened" fruit. The health benefits of such tree-ripened fruit are innumerable and are an attestation to the innate healing power of truly ripened foods. The growing trend towards eating more raw fruits and vegetables is posing a great challenge to farmers. As more and more people are turning towards using raw fruits and vegetables as a form of natural medicine to cure themselves of their ailments, the demand for greater quality produce is increasing at a dramatic rate. With the growth in interest in juicing, fresh produce has been in greater demand than it has ever been in the past. This is apparent from visiting Youtube and becoming a witness to all the different juice recipe videos on this platform. Many people are curing sicknesses through juicing. Juicing has emerged as a key player in helping individuals of all ages combat arthritis, shrink fibroids naturally, and even cure such debilitating conditions as psoriasis.
The above video is one such example and a testimony by a lady of the power of juicing. Health enthusiasts may visit her shrink fibroids facebook page for more information.
The growing interest in natural medicine through the consumption of natural produce has caused a significant rise in the juicing industry. The result of this has been a greater pressure on farmers to meet growing expectations. Oregon City's Farmer's market has been bustling with people since the onset of organic farming in Oregon. Up until now, Oregon's farmers were able to provide enough produce to serve its inhabitants. With natural medicine trending these days, you can expect business to be on the rise for Oregon's farmers for many years to come.

An Index Is An Index Is An Index?
Before June 1999, Deutsche Börse AG published two parallel index values, one calculated from floor prices and the other from Xetra prices. Since 1999, Deutsche Börse has calculated the DAX blue-chip index and the MDAX mid-cap index using only the prices of the electronic trading system Xetra. This paper analyzes the quality of the two indexes empirically. The results allow us to evaluate the decision taken by Deutsche Börse AG. We find that the Xetra-DAX is superior to the floor-DAX, but that the Xetra-MDAX is inferior to the floor MDAX. Our analysis also provides insights on the relative merits of floor and screen trading systems.

Neglecting the Home Work Space Can Hamper Productivity for Today's Growing Ranks of Telecommuters
As record numbers of Americans take to telecommuting, time management and productivity expert Laura Stack warns that working from home takes more than clearing a spot for the laptop at the coffee table: it takes a home office that means business.
More employers—even those who resisted the trend until recently—are setting up offices in employees' homes and realizing the cost savings of allowing them to telecommute, at least part time. By 2016, the number of people working from home is expected to rise by 69 percent, according to the NRDC study.
Time management and productivity expert Laura Stack addresses the perils of skipping the nuts and bolts of setting up the home office space in her newest entry to The Productivity Pro, an online newsletter that addresses time management and productivity trends in the 21st century.
Stack says that whenever an individual makes the change to working from home, the key to success is creating a productive home office environment.
"The first mistake new telecommuters make is setting up shop in one of their home's cozy, comfortable spots, tossing aside everything learned about ergonomics in the office," she says. "After a week of unnatural posturing at the breakfast nook, the back starts to ache, hands and feet go numb, and productivity plummets.
"Bite the bullet and buy good, solid office furniture of the appropriate types," Stack says. " Use a wrist pad to keep your typing and mousing hands straight, so you don't fall prey to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; make sure you have sufficient lighting coming from above; and supply all cordage with surge protectors just in case."
Stack says that some organizations have written policies requiring specific types of ergonomic furniture in the home office, as well as specifics on where and how it should be set up. Stack recommends setting up in a clean, spacious, well-defined and distraction-
"If space is a problem, at least ensure you have a door you can close to place a boundary between work life and home life," she says. "Don't set up in the kitchen, your living room, or the master bedroom, though an unused spare bedroom or dining room can work well."
Stack also recommends having plenty of room for all furniture, electronics, files, and supplies, so there is no need to run back and forth to find work-related items.
"You want to make your home office as comfortable and convenient as possible, so you can more easily maximize your personal productivity,"
For more information on setting up a productive home office, visit www.TheProductivityPro.com, send an Email to email@example.com, or call (303) 471-7401.

Crowdfunding is set to become an option for entrepreneurs, and it could be particularly helpful to young entrepreneurs who don't have the track record that banks and traditional investors seek. Startups seeking money this way need to tell a compelling story, reach out to locals and prepare to share their financial and personal information, write Larry Baker and Charlie Tribbett, co-founders of Bolstr.
