"If Bob Geldof is willing to make that offer (http://tinyurl.com/o7k5ro6), I'm sure his (our) local council, which will already have a lot of people ( me, since 2010 - 2015 http://tinyurl.com/nwcq64q ) on its housing waiting list, will be very happy to bring them around this afternoon (I was removed from own list, without my permit, concent and knowledge?!)" - http://tinyurl.com/maxauuk
The benefits cuts, bedrooms taxes, housing list and government blunders from the past - present to us - UK citizens, has nothing to do with the "present Immigration status from victims of war and I apologies if may look like, but do not", neither the rest of us - UK citizens need to suffer politics affairs abuses and liable for their own actions, not us, but them!- http://tinyurl.com/pu4jpoz In which, I should not suffer any kind of repression, intimidation, hate propaganda, intolerance and bullying based on my own writing, when it's not me the problem, but the community services as council, government staff and politics affairs.
In which, I thank Theresa Grant, Trafford's Council staff and letter to me as you can read the matter, but to say on my behalf that I never removed myself from such list, at any time, also to point out that today, thanks to the blunders of her own staff I lost all. As reads: "You don't need to do anything else, unless you should be registered at this address"- What a decency, but obvious I am not register to any Trafford's address, as her own staff followed, stalked and removed all from me in Trafford, Manchester, Oldham, Spain (as we saw at the same time, moment and note, with Ashya King http://tinyurl.com/llwbcn2 ) and now Scotland. So how we go from here, with the professional paranoia, envy, hate propaganda, abuse of power and profession, bullying and with respect, but they respect us?- http://tinyurl.com/p3m7seu
It is an insult to "Paula's Yates memory" of Saint Holy and everlasting, Bob Geldof refuge shelter mattes, when he should start giving a "Big Public Apology" to the woman that was the mother of his own children and the way he mistreated her was way out of order. http://tinyurl.com/nntzumx As this was the case with HRH Princess Diana of Wales by Saint Prince Charles (http://tinyurl.com/ptcpuf6) and my case with the Saint, ex/husband that removed all and everything from me. In fact, I lost all today, for such kind of "SAINTS BULLIES", liars and cheaters of the law (as Bob Geldof to Paula: "don't forget, I am above the law (w(hat). c(rap). i(s). t(hat). r(emark?).", by the low lifes like such cowards that abuse woman, with no respect?- http://tinyurl.com/ptggrck
In which 4 letters (Tax Man, Trafford council staff, and Solicitors firm) comes with the same date, month and year, to collaborate legally, how the UK system works so accurate, in order to inflict pain and where the blunders, negligence, hate propaganda, intolerance, defamation of character, lies, tales - tales, stalk, follows, intromission into our personal life, interference, communication into each department (without our permit, consent, or knowledge) in order to help or destroy badly (as the tax man letter when I went to see the CAB), mislead, abuse of position and profession and a wave of circus display to Trafford residents and ex/residents (as myself) comes from: "Attacking all our reputation to the lowest, with no mercy, no respect, no pity, no help, no legal form of survive the war in the UK, so how?!-
As you can see with such letters from C (citizen). A (advice). B (bureau). staff that speak of me visit the place, as my benefits were manipulate badly, education, jobs removed without care and a wave of abuse to me and mine, that explain clearly that the work was/is done by a community officer, as social worker and in my case, the sister of the ex/husband, social worker, that stopped all me and mine, with her gold card and in order to bring a wave of hate propaganda against me and mine, as far as Mexico, Germany, Cancun, etc. In which, I am not liable for people's blunders and malicious spreads, as the ex/husband, his sister social worker, some members of my family, as adults themselves and fully capables. As the following link http://tinyurl.com/oxfyppg could not be made by itself and alone (with respect to The Queen, Elizabeth II), but the ex/husband, his sister social worker and own helpers, so the law should appoint direct to them, not me.
In which all this matters - blunders are hide from society as my children that comes to defend and protect own father and his sister, social worker reputation from past abuses to me and mine and in order for me today demonstrate to them, that it's not worth the matters and place that they are position legally in law and with respect, because in the future can come against.
As this matter with the letters, blunders and hate propaganda against myself (as disabled and mexican) is the finest example of what you call: "criminal activity", or better to say "passing - abusing the UK law" and "hiding our resources" to the community. http://tinyurl.com/or5sdyf
As this is the game the ex/husband and his sister, social worker has been playing all the time, using the services in the community and if you ask for such peoples that they were told to do such matters, hate and intolerance, the council (government and politics) staff will tell you that they do not exist anymore, that they do not work for council services anymore, or even they passed away. In order to clean all the mess left in the past by Trafford council staff and start all over again with the abuse to society (me and mine). In which, the system works like clockwork, non/stop mondays to fridays, except weekends that stop the abuse and machinery of intolerance to me, as victim paying taxes for such criminal activity to take place (with my past jobs), moments and action against me and mine?-
Where today, I refuse totally to do any kind of work, until this matter of abuse against me and mine is fully investigate as myself and in full public, for "public concern" with the use of my blog. As Trafford council staff of Theresa Grant ignore my matters (I still hold all the documents), also CAB staff told me that the matters will get worse, my benefits stopped and a wave of criminal activity comes my way. (the link is not about harvey prince, but my P45!!) http://tinyurl.com/qjlykvw
So as you can see, the matters was a campaign of Bullies against me and mine by Trafford council staff and services in the community, because the same services are for English peoples only, as the ex/husband told me a few years ago, but not when I married him, or paid all my taxes (1985 - 2015?- http://tinyurl.com/o9ty297 RACISM when you are excluded from the community by racist peoples, not matter color, disability, age, religion, or lengh of time and why?- http://tinyurl.com/oed7t7j
By the same stalk, hunt, abuse and blunder (http://tinyurl.com/nwcq64q), I am still living in the present place, that was my home and removed drastically, as I am unable to have a council place, or even purchase anything in the UK. http://tinyurl.com/ptggrck
As this is not just into my personal stuff as the letters express the intolerance, but all my jobs gone, unable to receive treatments (dental, etc), services in the community, legal representative and a wave of abuse to me and mine and not matter if disabled or not, apply to anyone that the council staff see as "solos"- Unfortunately this time, backfire the "solos" procedure to Trafford council services and staff, as my family alone is more than 100's in our community of Mexico. So we are not that "solos" and if I blow the horn and whistle, this place as Trafford holds more of my peoples, that will leave the place dry and without resources.
What happens was that the ex/husband sister social worker stole all from me, my family, friends, jobs, everything and passed to someone else, but I am not liable for any mislead, lies, tales - tales and defamation (5 boys, the river, etc), because all was removed from me (http://goo.gl/rh3UzY ), as we remember. So direct to such peoples that abuse own country hospitality and resources, not me, or mine, but the right person. http://tinyurl.com/nbbwal6
Where I am forced to come out in the open to expose this lowest form of treatment to peoples like myself, by the removal of the law and council services to me and mine since day one and so by law, I am entitled to expose this abusive treatment to the public and for the "public concern", without suffering reprisals, intolerance, abuse and hate. As if I am forced to come out in the open for matters that are/were way out of my reach, as I do not hold any of those jobs (Trafford's Council Staff, Theresa Grant, social workers, social services, etc) that I am slander for and by such peoples that work for such places and in order to continue hurting all me and mine, as social worker, sister of the ex/husband and helpers (local government staff). So by law, I am entitled to expose this strong Hitler treatment to the community as myself: "As I do not get pay for to do your own jobs, but you (Trafford's Council Staff, Theresa Grant) and yours!" - http://tinyurl.com/puwsmzm
"As the ex/husband told me a few years ago (I believe was a simple joke!), that the UK services belongs to the UK nationals and why he did not told me of the matters before married him (now divorce), or before paying my UK taxes, but removal of all form of existence in the UK with two small children to feed, as he told me: "they are your children, you keep them"- So what changed today, as all was paid off, now removed from my post, as Paula Yates and HRH Princess Diana of Wales (RIP) and which kind of breed we are creating in the world, with domestic violence? -
As the holy Bible talks by the ex/husband own words not mine, that we hold no problems, but such strong hate propaganda by his own sister, social worker and helpers, that purchased the trafford area (not Stockport where she lives, but Trafford), using all me and mine (http://tinyurl.com/q34dn6j)
as mention before, in order to come against my reputation, because who will go against own brother, sister and family, who's and why I have to pay for the matters, why?- http://tinyurl.com/q6t22tw
I am not liable in law if Trafford council staff wants to create and re-create the "Krays Brothers syndrome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kray_twins)" in our well adjusted society of Trafford Area (not Stockport where the bully lives as the sister of the ex/husband, but Trafford) and nobody comes and tells me nothing, just now (7/9/2015) as the letters explain for "voting matters (see date, time, month, year)" and I am exposing for the public, and for "the public concern", because this is not my job, but the coincil staff. As ex/husband mother told me of her own children as bad as each other and fight all day long ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ), for me as the Krays brothers and time to stop, full stop the abuse!- http://tinyurl.com/ndpyqmx
I do not hold any neighbours problems and if this is the matter, where are the charges against me in a court of law, where both are sitting and acknowledge such matters and to give my chance to explain, but hide in "confidentiality acts" the cowards. However, I do hold charges against the ex/husband, his sister social worker and some members of my family (tito, riqui, claudia, rocio, etc) and sisters (soco, mara, flor, tere, etc) of mine that plays the card of abuse when it suit them and when not hide in treatments. As if my sisters (soco, mara, tere, flor, etc) and helpers (carol parker, ex/husband, etc) are able to hold this kind of abuse and criminal activity within the community, together with own children (tito, riqui, claudia, rocio, etc) and Christian charities (http://tinyurl.com/pj9dey5), instead to use the law, as the law request, then I believe strong, there is nothing wrong with them at any time, as I was told and by themselves and holding the Bible: "As the charges against mention here, because the neighbour (house #14) believes strong that something happened to her own child and I support her in everything, until fully satisfy of the matters. As the area of Trafford (sherway drive) comes with full blast of cars in the past and everybody saw the faena not just me, also the neighbour (house #14) was badly hurt in Tesco when shopping and everybody read the news, not just me. Including and not extent, my sister (soco) detained under the mental health act by the same "family problems" of the ex/husband, his sister social worker, neighbour house #11 and neighbourhood (of that time, not this time) and her own children (tito, riqui, claudia, rocio, etc), as they wanted to see own dad in Veracruz ( http://tinyurl.com/nuzsupw ) and never was me, or mine (children), but falsely accused.
In which this matters and violence belongs to the Trafford council staff, not me at any time, as I do not get pay for the job, but them. As this is my statement legaly, by the law, as the law request and state, command and order, as myself as student of law", because I can not continue living in the "Krays Brothers community" as the ex/husband and his sister social worker, that brings so much problems to me and mine, as far as Mexico, Germany, Cancun, Veracruz, UK, etc, with the "go and tell her" which in reality nobody told me but got advantage, in which means ("go and tell her"), "dad can you tell him" and what the sh..?"- http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr
I went to request help to Trafford council services in the past (I hold letters to probe matters), even CAB staff (see letters from CAB), to no avail (http://tinyurl.com/ohw5u5w) and today is far too late the "criminal damaged" to me and mine and I am not liable, as even my brother passed away, with no mercy, pity, respect, nothing! - http://tinyurl.com/ofx7nwy
As such blunders cost me, my complete peace, reputation, living, form of existence in the UK with no jobs, no benefits, no home and no nothing, because all was removed by the same "family problems" of the ex-husband, his sister social worker and some members of my family, that gained help with council staff and services, that keep holding - holding my matters in order to hide the abuse, also the life of my brother and unborn children (RIP) is placed right in the centre of Trafford, for the concern of the public and for "public concern", because I believe strong, that all comes with the same family and their own (bleeding) problems and I am divorce from the lot of them?-
The Holy Bible sustain, that the ex/husband and I comes with no problems "as read the words", but he need to obey his sister in everything, in which I am not liable by the confusion, as she stole all that belongs to me with lies (5 boys, the river, etc) and I am not requesting to go back to the ex/husband, but set me FREE from the ordeal, as I do not bring this sh.. to you, so why you does to me, me, me, and me all the TIME, why, why and why? !!! -
In which, my unborn children perished to give way to carol parker to go to mexico, then study, work and life, mine was/is murder, destruction and criminal damaged. Now if the ex/husband was/is so happy to obey and please his sister social worker, with high demands of Mexico and/or against me and mine, please remind him today, that the law exist by me holding the same Bible that he gave me years ago and the law is not invisible, impossible to reach and unaided, because murder of my unborn children and brother is murder in any country, language and color, so no excuses! -
My case is seeing in the UK as "unique", but The Queen Mother (with respect to The Queen Elizabeth II) was the same as me, against Hitler's own demands, to give the throne back to her own husband´s brother (http://tinyurl.com/otc2tej), so how come, I am "unique" by the media and since when? -
I hold date (2012) when I purchase this material, as CAB hide the law for me, otherwise, I would not be, where I am today: "as survivor of domestic abuse"-
Now with regards to the benefits letter is/was the obligation of the CAB or DWP staff to advise me, as letters explain (http://tinyurl.com/njtfn5v), also a probe to my children of own father and his own sister social worker, carol parker intentions against me and mine, exactly, as I was told by their own mother, when she lend me money, "not to tell carol", now we know why!!- http://goo.gl/RG9NB0
In which letters of benefits, Trafford council staff and solicitors comes with same date, time and moment as mention before, maybe as revenge, because that money was used to our own living standards, as my benefits removed (http://tinyurl.com/njtfn5v), also jobs and everything and in which grounds in law the abuse? - Rosario Castellanos de Parker.

Objective And Aim
Sitadevi Garodia Hindu Vidyalaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Tambaram is a Temple of Learning and not just a school.
It is
- An Ayodhya of Character
- A Brindavan of Love
- A Nalanda of Knowledge
- A Pataliputra of Patriotism
The moment you enter the gate, you will hear Vande Mataram.
You touch any pillar, it says Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
You lay any step, it says Jai- Hind.
You sit in the campus silently. You will certainly experience vibrations.
Man- Making is the Mission of our school. Character-building is our Profession.
Accommodating the poorest of the poor and admitting the weaker sections and giving free education to the deserving is the culture of our institution.
Our Heart melts for them. We possess the Melting Hearts. This school is the dream child of the Founder Secretary Sri. K Narayan Rao, This school is started with a purpose-that of rousing the national pride in every student. Here the students are taught not merely maths, physics, English or biology but their taught the values of life and the values to be imbibed for life. The student, here, is in every way moulded into a fully equipped citizen of Mother Barath. The octogenarian Founder secretary proudly says "No child is ever dined admission into the school for the reason, that, his parents are not able to pay the fees". Sitadevi is the school which is the hope of the poor and the pride of the rich.
the aim of the school is not to produce "Mark producing machines, instead chisel the students into worthy citizens of our mother land.
We are sure that the school will go from success to success during the years to come and reach the Himalayan Heights.
What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening ideas.

"Oh God, I hope I get through the traffic fast today!!" This thought comes to my mind daily before leaving for office. I am sure that you all would agree that even you do not want to get stuck in traffic.. be it a traffic signal!
But that day, I felt otherwise!!
It was an usual day when I started for office in the morning. Even after lot of praying for smooth traffic, I was stuck in traffic @ the signal for 20 mins!! The traffic was snail paced. And I got really bugged of listening to my music in the car. I switched it off and opened the window to feel little better. Small chirping noises caught my attention. These were small children begging at the signal. Some peeping in the car, some persuading two-wheelers' riders, some just roaming between vehicles and one coming towards me! Oh God.. I can't face this. Yes, I hate signals for this very reason.
But thankfully he stopped few cars ahead of me. He was the smallest of all. I thought of observing the entire scene. I was curious to know how others handle this. And this when I saw a hand come out with a packet of Parle-G biscuits and handed it to that kid!! He was sooo happy. He immediately ran towards the pavement and all his friends joined him. I think they all got their breakfast!
Why was I feeling so happy and relieved? Because the boy didn't come begging to me . Yes I was relieved. But this time I was even happier to see this little kid eating Parle-G biscuits with such a pleasure! The traffic started moving, as I moved little further, I saw an old emaciated begger with complete haggard looks struggling to climb slightly higher pavement to save himself from the moving traffic. I had to stop. I stopped next to him to allow him climb with the help of his stick.
And then I moved on! I wanted to give him money. But I couldn't stop. The signal was green and he was so weak that he could have never been able to run and take the money. I know.. I can never justify this to me!
But I know one thing. I do not want these boys to grow old begging their whole life same as that old guy. Mr. Narayan Murthy has mentioned in his latest book 'A Better India, A Better World' - "Children can not concentrate on their studies if their stomachs are not full and there are many such children in government schools."
You must be thinking what can we do?
I am still thinking. But I want to atleast do my little bit. I have seen how much food we waste in our office canteen!! And I am sure that there must be some food left out everyday. We have one Idea center in our office. I have suggested this idea of supplying this food to any one of the government school. I do not know if this is a feasible option or not. But still...!
People say that we should not promote begging by giving them money. I never gave them anything for these 5 years but I still didn't see their numbers decreasing!!
So... I bought some parle-G biscuits!

3.I am flying tomorrow and I can visualize the scene.

many r pushed into this situation..
and many chose this profession by themselves....
its just what one is guided about...
just wonder...
will we give them some petty jobs if they intend to do work...NO!! I know it will be the answer from all of us....
and more so for giving money..
i would always prefer things in kind rather than the money itself...
money can be spent in good and bad ways but in their case the bad ways r much more in numbers than the good ones...
good u thought and wrote...
we all think...
we do...
but we know we can do nothing..
isn't it?

Hello Vineeta
Excellent sentiments.
I am glad that u thought about it.
Pathetic but yeah if we TRY HARD TOGETHER we can change so many lives......
All it takes is TRYING.......but are we ready to give up some of our free time and work towards the betterment of the downtrodden??????? i dont think so.........really sad but true.

U r obsrving ur surroundings a lot these days it seems.. nd only positive things r cuming out of these observation. Keep obsrving, u'll find more solutions.
Tht Parle G thing really clicked. One of my frnd does sumthing similar. evrytime w r out around sum eating joint, if a beggar child cums by, he never pays him bt treats him with some snacks. why? bcoz u nvr know if these kids evn gt 2 keep this money or its taken away by the begging mafia.

@Yogesh: Yeah you are rite. No money. We can give them something to eat. Atleast that will fill their stomachs.
@IP: I completely agree with you. We can't think of taking time out frm our busy schedules. Therefore the least.. is @ signals.. anyways u r not doing anything ;-) hehehe!
@Vipul: Thx for appreciating :) I just hope that what I am doing and thinking is atleast doing sm good :)

I think there are some NGOs who actually take the excess food from the office canteens/ hotels and supply to several institutions which support such children....
BTW for Govt. schools Midday meal is already in place and what I saw here in Bangalore an organization called Akshay Patra is doing a very good job ...
The Parle-G wala idea is a good one will try to implement it ...

@Dhiman: Yeah you are right. Even I have heard of Akshay Patra. Since i wasn't sure I thought of checking in my office too :)

Nice thought, but not the apt solution though. I would be happier to see the root cause being addressed. Finding so many kids on roads is no good. Why can't we have NGO's or government agencies working on troubled kids rehabilitation centers to make them better humans?
I could only wish the 'Genie' comes in real lives of all those kids.

However, your idea is good. I guess we should take initiative.

Ok, giving out biscuits is probably a very nice idea, and it defeats the evil purpose behind why these guys are begging at traffic signals though it gives them benefit. http://fryol.net/?p=47 - that's where I blogged about the evil that is begging.

Some discussion about the current rules.
Vojtech: I think we're currently consistent with what XQuery does.
Norm: I think the only question is, if you see "}" in xpath-mode, do you look for another "}" or do you end the expression?
Vojtech: No, I proposed that if you're not in XPath mode and you see "}" then you just treat it literally.
Norm: So "}}" remains "}}"?
Vojtech: No. If you see "}}" you output "}", if you see an unescaped "}", you just recover from the escaping error and output the "}"
Alex: I think the current rules could allow nested expressions in the future.
Vojtech: I'm just observing that you could recover, I'm not pushing for it.
Norm: I think it will be confusing to do error recovery, so I propose not.
Alex: We could do that, and be done with it.
Proposal: Add a new rule to "regular-mode" which states that an unquoted "}" is an error.
Norm: I'll also add a note to the
xpath-mode section to note that "}" doesn't look for "}}", it
ends "greedily"
... I'll update the spec and republish it in our space, with a plan to make it an official note in January if no one sees any other problems.
-> http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2010/11/lc-comments/
Vojtech: Does the minimum profile
require parsing of namespaces?
... Now I think it's clear in the text.
... The other issue is the one that David Lee raised about having a much simpler profile.
Henry: That amounts to subsetting XML.
Norm: I'm very conflicted. I think what David Lee wants makes logical sense, but it's not clear that we have remit to go there.
More discussion about infosets and subsets of XML and the fact that our section 2 says we start with a namespace well-formed document.
Henry observes that if we named a smaller subset, then parsers that could do it only wouldn't be able to handle any well-formed XML which is not the case today.
Proposal: Politely decline on the basis that it wouldn't be XML. It's not illogical, but we can't go there.
Vojtech: What about my question about connecting output ports of compound steps?
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2010Dec/0000.html
Norm: I think 5.11 overstates what we intended.
Vojtech: Our implementation allows it.
Norm: Yeah, I guess it makes sense. I don't think my implementation allows it but that's neither here nor there.
Vojtech: I think the rule in 5.11 is quite convenient.
Norm: And allowing it is an editorial change were forbidding it would be a technical changes, because 5.11 says it's currently allowed.
Proposal: Add an erratum to say that the output port of a compound step can be directly connected to any of the compound step's readable ports.
<scribe> ACTION: Norm to write an erratum to allow he output port of a compound step can be directly connected to any of the compound step's readable ports. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/16-xproc-minutes.html#action01]
Alex: Do we produce a new version with the errata merged in?
Norm: We can, but we don't have to.
Henry: It's polite to do it.
Paul: That would be a second edition.
Henry: I think it's fine to wait at least a year.
Norm: So do I.
... Happy holidays and happy new year to one and all!

It is my very great pleasure to have KaraLynne Mackrory over today to talk about her latest novel, Haunting Mr. Darcy. Please, make yourself comfortable, Ms. Mackrory. Would you like a cup of tea? Coffee?
Sadly I never got a taste for coffee or tea but would not say no to a Dr. Pepper. You can even put it in a tea cup if you prefer. :)
I loved your previous two novels, Bluebells in the Mourning and Falling for Mr. Darcy. How did writing Haunting Mr. Darcy compare to writing those?
Its funny that you should ask this because I would not have said the writing process felt different for the first two books but with this one it did. I felt unsettled and disorganized as I wrote this and not because I didn't know what I was going to do, or how the story was going to unfold. It was because the entire plot, and what it required of me was a challenge and a stretch of my abilities. I would write a scene and instead of finding myself satisfied I felt like I was not doing it enough justice.
Not much actually. By now the Regency time period is as beloved and familiar as my own time period so those types of hang-ups weren't there. This book, with its paranormal aspect gave me a little freedom to make up a little of what I did not know. There were of course some minor things to look up, such as the boxing academies in London at the time, fencing techniques and terms, and frequent questions to my hubby about the rules of chess. The challenge came when I had find ways to break some rules of propriety without breaking them – ie Darcy slipping away (with Elizabeth) during his visit to Longbourn the first time.
I laughed out loud several times while reading HMD; there were so many wonderful, funny moments. What is your favorite scene, if it isn't too spoilery to ask?
Oh gosh! When I paused to answer this question I had one scene pop into my head after another, each fighting for number one. I dearly love to laugh (as does Lizzy) and it is hard to pick just one. I love when Darcy has to hide under the bed because the image of that is just too juicy and fun to get out of my mind. But I think my absolute favorite moment is when Darcy huffs and blusters to move his bed across the room. His determination is adorable and his distraction to his purpose hilarious when combined with the confusion of his valet.
What is your favorite ghost story?
I do not actually know many ghost stories. I have not found one that I disliked though. There is one that I did like a lot and would recommend and it is by Barbara Metzger called An Angel for the Earl. It's got some similarities to this one and is charming, romantic and sweet.
What plans do you have for future literary endeavors?
I have a number of different book ideas but none that I am working on presently. When I write a book I tend to binge write so it does not take me long to complete it – only a few months. For the present, I am simply enjoying not being an absent mother again. I tend to do very little else but write when I do.
Is there a story behind Mr. Carroll, butler extraordinaire? He is in every book and I always wish I could steal him away to be my butler. :)
There isn't a story but perhaps a person(s). I am blessed to know a great couple who I have been friends with throughout all my writing. They are both very supportive and monstrously funny. I patterned Mr. and Mrs. Carroll (butler and housekeeper) after my dear friends Ron and Kayla Carroll.
And now, for three quick questions:
Firth or Macfadyen?
I have had this one before and I hesitate not to say Matthew Firth or perhaps Collin Macfadyen. I like them both at different scenes and should either one show up at my doorstep declaring his undying love, it is understood that my husband will just have to accept this new addition to our lives. Just kidding.
White, milk or dark?
Oh milk, no question.
Carriage or horseback?
Now this one depends on the context. If you asked carriage or horseback to watch a gentleman: horseback pounding across the field no question – with gentleman's coat tails flying behind him. If you mean carriage or horseback to watch Wickham be run over: carriage, for it would do more damage, I think. I would also say carriage if you asked which one I would leave in when Matthew Firth declares his undying love.
KaraLynne is an amazing mother who never makes mistakes, never gets upset with her children and never ever has a dirty house. Ever. She always has her dishes done and the floors spotless and dinner is always prepared and ready on time. Her kids are always clean, polite, respectful and loving, especially to each other. She never gets irritated with her husband when he doesn't turn his socks right side out for the laundry and they always agree on everything. She delights in nothing else but to serve her family and never wants or needs time for herself. She takes great care to shower every day and put make up on so that she is always beautiful and presentable. She never wears her pajamas all day or for days in a row and she is the epitome of womanhood. Most of all, she has a great sense of humor and loves to write.
Falling for Mr. Darcy (2012) is KaraLynne's first venture in to the world of book authorship. Bluebells in the Mourning (2013) came next and coming in the spring of 2014 is, Haunting Mr. Darcy: A Spirited Courtship. Although, admittedly a Darcy addict, she enjoys many things, such as: Mr. Knightly, Edmund Bertram, Captain Wentworth, Mr. Tilney and John Thornton. She is happily married to her own Mr. Darcy and together they share the insanity inducing responsibility of raising four children.
And now, the giveaway! Again! If you missed it when I posted it a couple of days ago, here is your chance to enter to win either a paperback or e-copy of Haunting Mr. Darcy. This contest is open internationally. You can find out more about Haunting Mr. Darcy and read my review here. Good luck!

Snowden versus the dragons
One measure of our culture's disdain for whistle-blowers like Edward Snowden can be culled from the pages of a thesaurus. Beyond "source" and "leaker," few neutral antonyms exist to describe people who divulge alleged wrongdoing by the government or other organizations to the press, while negative synonyms abound—spy, double-agent, rat, snitch, informer, fink, double-crosser, canary, stoolie, squealer, turncoat, betrayer, traitor and so on.
We bristle at the scent of whistle-blowers for atavistic reasons: They've violated the norms that bind the group together and must be scorned and punished, and their only allies are like-minded individuals who've deserted the pack—or joined opposing packs—and portions of the press, which occupies a floating niche somewhere between the individual and the group that allows it to thrive on such principled perfidy.
But even the press in aggregate is not a friend to whistle-blowers, as its recent treatment of Snowden attests, what with the deep dives into his teen years (including photos), his education and employment history, his reputation as a loner and a "brainiac," his pants-down hijinks, his online scribblings, his dancer girlfriend, his predilection for (in his own words) "post-coital Krispy Kremes." Squeezing every possible query at every known commercial database, journalists worldwide have aped the National Security Agency's snooping skills to track down Snowden's friends, associates, neighbors, schoolmates, relatives and colleagues to instapaint his portrait.
No matter how generously you read the team portrait, Snowden comes off as a bit of a cocky know-it-all. And how could he not? He did a bodacious, criminal thing; threatens to commit additional acts of criminal bodaciousness; and maintains the cool-customer persona in his video and print interviews. And he comes off as a little squirrelly and ego-swollen.
But what mortal wouldn't come off a little squirrelly and ego-swollen after nonstop scrutiny by the press, even if they hadn't leaked NSA secrets? I guarantee you that if the press ever gets around to vacuuming your every posting, scrapbooking your most dishy teen pix, and interviewing all the people in your past, it will depict a creep of some variety. Not because you're a creep but because the language and methodology of journalism are ill-equipped to capture normalcy—even when its subjects project normalcy. Journalism is about finding flaws and magnifying them, and surely someone who would spill massive loads of state secrets must contain a few broken parts, right?
Whether Snowden is more psychologically integrated than your average 29-year-old makes for stimulating conversation and fun clicks, but it's not really germane to the secrecy "debate" that even President Barack Obama claimed to "welcome" last week. Once we (the press and readers) exhaust ourselves on the Snowden, Up Close and Personal, angle, the debate will likely be interrupted, just as the debate about the Pentagon Papers was interrupted by the White House back in 1971, when Daniel Ellsberg dumped them to the press.
About two weeks after the New York Times began publishing the papers in June 1971, President Richard Nixon told National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and Attorney General John Mitchell that he didn't want Ellsberg to get a fair trial for leaking. "Let's get the son-of-a-bitch in jail," Nixon said. "Don't worry about his trial. Just get everything out. Try him in the press. Try him in the press. Everything, John, that there is on the investigation, get it out. Leak it out. We want to destroy him in the press. Is that clear?"
As Tom Wells wrote in his 2001 book, Wild Man: The Life and Times of Daniel Ellsberg, "The FBI pursued leads on Ellsberg's past, personality, and lifestyle." The White House could easily tag Ellsberg as a sex maniac because he had loads of sex and liked to talk about it; a pervert because he collected pornography; as nuts because he saw a psychiatrist; and a swinger because, as Gay Talese wrote in Thy Neighbor's Wife, he swung. This, of course, had nothing to do with the substance of the Pentagon Papers, but it was the weapon Nixon—who was bragging to his White House underlings that he had convicted Alger Hiss in the press "before he ever got to the grand jury"—liked to stockpile.
Nixon's men planted with conservative columnist Victor Lasky the baseless smear that Ellsberg had given the papers to the Soviet Union, as well. In a memo to Nixon aide John Ehrlichman, White House special counsel Charles Colson wrote (pdf) of his disappointment with the response to Lasky's column, "which got the predictable reaction because of its author," and of the similar briefings he'd given to Howard K. Smith of ABC News and Jerald terHorst of the Detroit News to "develop the Ellsberg conspiracy." I suspect we won't have to wait long for the "Snowden conspiracy" to manifest itself. Just the other day, Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon reported Pentagon "concerns" that Snowden might give intelligence secrets to the Chinese. (He rejects the notion that he's a Chinese spy.)
Compare Ellsberg's treatment to early press coverage of Snowden's personal life, which injured his standing. Not for a moment do I allege that the Obama White House has assigned a Plumbers unit to spread the hype. I allege something much worse—the readiness of some in the press to contort into something bizarre the sort of behaviors and personal history they would shrug off as "normal" if exhibited by a family member. Is Snowden paranoid? Well, yes, they're after him, aren't they? Wouldn't you be? Is Snowden a tad grandiose in his interviews? Well, yes, but if you were the leaker and had never taken media training classes, you'd probably sound grandiose in your interviews. Do his statements seem unsatisfying and inconsistent? Well, wouldn't yours if you were attempting to describe the entirety of the national security state in such limited space?
Although Snowden has been exiled for breaking the compact he made with his employers and his government, his rebellion rings too many notes from heroic literature for us to automatically dismiss him. How many times have we read the story (or played the video game) about the brilliant and brave young man who hears the call; defies the established order; goes on a sacrificial quest to a magical place where he defeats evil monsters that menace mankind; battles madness; and after many, many tests (and at some personal loss) finally returns with a boon for all mankind? The rebel in this version even has a pole-dancing princess that he's been separated from! Snowden combines elements of Luke Skywalker, King Arthur, Frodo Baggins, Harry Potter, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Jesus Christ, and Neo from The Matrix into one modern tale. Being an egomaniac and a narcissist are just part of the job description.
As a student of anime and a cultural child of the Star Wars saga, Snowden can't help but notice that by stealing the NSA documents and flying off to Hong Kong to share them, he's living our most enduring myths, following the instructions laid down in church, in books, at the cinema, on television, in comic books and in video games. And unlike earlier whistle-blowers, who ordinarily suffer for decades for their transgressions, Snowden appears to be working from a complete script in which he's the ultimate victor.
Right now I think we're still in the "battle monsters and madness" phase. I'll update when Edward Snowden action figures are released. Send ideas for future quests to firstname.lastname@example.com.

When by definition a country, Your country, changes from democracy to dictatorship ?
It is when Your elected officials: President and Democratic and Republican members of Congress in one voice defend the breach of Constitution of US and civil liberties included in Amendments ?
Or when You just cannot vote them out because first of all you have winner takes it all voting system and second thing any new grassroot movement, maybe a new political party (after 230 years of just 2 parties!) can be monitored and handled with due care by government agencies ?
People who defied the law to do what was right: Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr and Jesus Christ. People who upheld the law to do evil – Stalin, Hitler and Herod. For the average educated person cutting through the tabloid noise to what is really at stake is an easy task.
An intellectual who liked Star Wars and anime as a teen is like a jock who liked GridIron and beer – completely and utterly unremarkable.
I find it somewhat lacking in faith of humanity that you and the rest of the press seem to maintain that someone can not simply do the right thing without there being an alternative selfish motive. I don't think Snowden was motivated by illusions of grandeur or by confusing reality with fantasy. I think he was motivated by a desire to do good in the world for the benefit of others even if it meant a life in exile, prison or even an early grave.
Snowden is neither a traitor nor a hero. He is just a 29 year old little boy playing at being a superspy without the proper credentials for that. Without regard to whether or not what he did was "right" in this case, as a general rule we cannot allow individuals to substitute their code of morality for our collective one.
Google tracks everybody – even ME.
But I am not silly – in fact, Google and the Internet are my best slaves. We need more Lisbeth Salanders, i.e., perfectly formed shamans, who are still able to hunt and to lay down "false" tracks… Hence, the fight in the Internet has already begun…
The only good "religion" was the shamanism of the old – but now eradicated – hunter-gatherers. Shamanism is also genetically determined, but it cannot be learned socially like the jewish memes everywhere (christians, muslims, protestants, capitalists, communists-marxists, Nazis, Hollywood, etc. etc.).
For more than 2000 years, the agrarian-hypersocial-sedentary jewish memes rule the world…
The most complex beings ever produced by nature were hunting shamans.
And they are already THERE, hunting EVERYWHERE: youtube.com/watch?v=XlbCP92XMEM

Nautical Control Solutions (NCS), an Iridium value-added reseller, developed the FuelTrax vessel monitoring system. FuelTrax uses fuel flow sensors and engine room electronics to collect real-time information on ships fuel consumption, speed and heading. On-board electronics enable vessel operations to analyze fuel and speed performance, and determine the optimum throttle settings for maximum fuel efficiency. Vessel and fuel information is transmitted through the Iridium satellite network to a shore-based Web service called FuelNet where it is permanently stored and can be viewed on-demand via a Web browser.
When properly used, FuelTrax can reduce fuel consumption by eight to twelve percent, depending on existing conditions. Other information about the vessel route and bunkering locations is also maintained within the FuelNet system. FuelTrax Version 2.0, released in late 2006, incorporates a graphical mapping system that overlays fuel consumption and fuel events on the route the vessel has taken. The new mapping capability graphically portrays fuel consumption, transfers and loading within an accuracy of one meter on one minute intervals.

Yes, makeup expires for those who don't know. Certain makeup actually needs to be disposed after several months of use and not when you hit pan or get tired of it as old makeup can harbor dangerous bacteria. In fact, expired foundations can cause skin allergies (little red bumps that look like acne) while expired mascara can cause styes and/or "pink eye," an eye infection medically known as conjunctivitis.
Lipsticks /glosses and lip balms also can give you cold sores through a herpes virus that can easily be absorbed by lip products especially if you share yours with other people. Like any other makeup addicts, I have a "Beauty Separation Anxiety" and it saddens me when I have to pitch a makeup, even more so if it's a high-end brand. The drugstore brands I don't mind, but the expensive ones are hard to let go especially when you've hardly used them. However, I'd rather buy new makeup than get a skin disease and spend more money for treatments.
Anyway, here's how to know what is still ok and when to throw it away: (Take note, the keyword is THROW. Throw away and not give away! Please spare other people from infection!)
Mascara – dispose after 2 months or 3 months maximum. Mascara can easily give you an infection as the brush brings with it any dirt or bacteria that it has collected when taken out, applied, and placed back in the tube.
Eyeliner – 3 months. Same with mascara, it is applied near a sensitive area and can pick up bacteria and bring it back to the eye without any visible signs of contamination. Pencils will last a bit longer and sharpening your pencil liners every use will help them stay fresh and clean.
If you're fond of tight-lining, don't share your eyeliner with anyone!
Liquid Foundation – 12 months maximum. Keep away from moist environment and heat as high temperatures encourage the growth of bacteria and can speed up the spoiling. Unopened and unused foundation can last several years though.
Liquid Concealer – 12 months maximum. But once the color starts to shift, toss it. Concealers in powder or stick form will last up to 24 months.
Lipstick / Lipgloss – 18 to 24 months. But if you notice an off-smell or if it already tastes like a stale oil, it has already gone bad. Lipgloss on the other hand will feel streaky if you apply it.
Face Powder – will last up to 24 months as long as you keep it away from moist areas such as your bathroom counter.
Blush – Powder form 24 months, cream 12 months.
Eye shadow (powder) – Recommended to dispose after 3 months. Even though it has similar formulation with face powder and blush, it is constantly in contact with the eyes (mucous membrane). Hence, the risk of transfer of bacteria is high. Cream-based eyeshadows tend to grow more bacteria quickly so be aware of any color switches or off-putting smell.
Things to remember:
An off smell or a change in consistency and/or color tells you the formula has gone bad thus applying it could cause irritation or breakouts.
Water-based makeup (liquid foundation, concealer, mascara, liquid liner) means bacteria love them.
High temperature encourages the growth of bacteria and can speed up the spoiling.

PARIS/LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Fans of The Libertines are speculating the British rock band could become the latest act to stage a reunion, after signs of reconciliation between former frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat.
Doherty, 29, and Barat, 30, fell out four years ago in a blaze of drugs and arguments but have recently been seen at each others' gigs and even spontaneously performed together.
Hopes for a more lasting reunion were rekindled when Dirty Pretty Things, the band Barat formed after the Libertines' implosion in 2004, broke up at the end of last year.
With Britpop act Blur and the Specials re-grouping for a few shows, fans hope The Libertines will catch the conciliatory mood.
Barat talked of pursuing new musical projects after Dirty Pretty Things died, but was quick to add these would not involve reviving The Libertines. Some believe he may change his mind.
"Carl is up for a reunion," a source close to both musicians said, adding obstacles lay mostly with the other two former members of the Libertines, bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell.
Music industry insiders caution that Doherty's battle with drug addition and erratic lifestyle could also stand in the way of reconciliation.
"Carl obviously has issues with Peter's drug abuse," the source said.
Despite only releasing two albums in the seven years of their existence, The Libertines created a loyal following.
They led a revival of guitar rock with raw, lyrical songs reminiscent of The Clash and The Smiths and a vision of a mythical England, inspired by British poet William Blake.
At the heart of the emotional appeal of their music and performances was the tempestuous relationship between the frontmen, which culminated in Doherty burgling Barat's flat.
After Doherty was kicked out of the band, he started his own act Babyshambles, making headlines with celebrity girlfriends such as Kate Moss and stints in jail and rehab.
Recently, there have been signs of a rapprochement.
In September 2008, Barat and Doherty reunited for an impromptu gig at the Prince of Wales pub in Camden.
In November, Doherty, who is putting the finishing touches to a solo album, was spotted watching Barat perform at the Bataclan theater in Paris during the final Dirty Pretty Things tour. The pair briefly met after the show.
But when asked about the prospect of a reunion, all Doherty's manager Adrian Hunter said was: "Boring."
While Barat insists he is busy with his own projects, he has at times shown nostalgia for his days with The Libertines.
In July 2008, speaking to The Sunday Mail Live about his appearance at Doherty's Hackney Empire gig in April 2007, Barat said: "It reminded me how great we were together and how much unfinished business there is."

Are you looking for the best Medigap insurance in Newman, CA? We can help you find affordable and quality Medicare Supplemental Insurance in California. You can either call 888-602-5343 or enter your Zip Code above and fill out the form. We will help you find the best Newman, CA Medigap insurance options.Buying Medigap, or Medicare Supplemental Insurance, is the key for many people over age 65 to be able to afford to use their Medicare coverage. Medigap is a separate policy that is sold by private insurance carriers that adhere to California laws.
For the most part, Medigap covers co-insurance, co-payments, and even includes medical coverage if faced with an emergency when traveling outside of the United States. Older Medigap plans also covered deductibles, though those were mostly phased out in 2010. Medigap covers costs seen in Medicare Part A and Part B Plans. Medicare Advantage plans are also available though not in conjunction with Medigap benefits. Likewise, be aware that it is illegal to sell a Medigap holder Medicare Savings plans.
The reason people in Newman, CA buy Medigap is to cover where an individual's money will fall short. Buying a Medigap policy will require monthly premiums in addition to Part A and Part B Plan premiums. Though, the fact is that there are still ways to save on Medigap coverage.
For one, apply for policies while in the first 6 months of your Medicare Part and Part B plan policies. During this period, guarantee issuance is extended to anyone over the age of 65 within the first six months. It means that there are no denials or increases in premiums because of pre-existing conditions, based upon past medical history, or current medical problems that spring up.
If an individual waits they may pay higher rates and fees for extending past the deadline. It is better to shop around and compare quotes and do so during the open enrollment period. The majority of Medicare Supplemental insurance coverages are standard and demarcated by letters A through N. Each plan covers benefits but have added benefits. For instance, part D covers prescriptions.
That means that while cheap Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans A through G charge higher premiums, costs that are out-of-pocket are not as expensive as for Plan K through Plan N. Those carry lower premiums and like benefits but at the trade-off of costing more at the time of service.
Employer Retiree Benefits
The next way to save money beyond following the open enrollment dates is to find out if a former or present employer has a Medigap policy of its own. In general, these will be less costly than an individual policy that you buy on your own. Though, the warning and word to the wise is to carefully consider if the company is financially stable or not.
Determining Eligibility
Whenever purchasing many types of Medicare plans, you actually cancel the old policy before instating the new policy. That is not the case where Medicare A and B are concerned. The reason, recall, is that inexpensive Medigap insurance coverage is meant to fill the gaps of conventional original Medicare policies.
It requires still being covered under Medicare. The other benefit is to know when shopping around that the policies are the same whether you buy with Humana or Aetna or BlueCross BlueShield, for instance.
What is worth looking at is the reputation of the health insurance company, the quality of the coverage they offer, and the credit worthiness rating of the insurance company. The reason to look at the credit worthiness of the company offering up the insurance is to ensure that they are likely to have the money to pay out benefits and claims as agreed in the policy paperwork.
In addition to looking for insurance carriers that have an A or greater rating in the creditworthiness area, it is important to find out about the customer service and the customer satisfaction ratings of the companies you are comparing as well. It pays to have the company that pays claims within a timely manner, without a heroic effort on your part or the part of your doctors.
Otherwise, you will spend time having to contact the California insurance department or commissioner to file official complaints to get the claims paid within the acceptable two-month window. All of the Plan C Medigap coverage will be the same as that same plan from another insurer. Look at service quality and price. Look at comparing insurance company offerings to locate a cheap medicare supplement insurance plan in Newman, CA .
You will also need to look for separate prescription drug coverage, which is designated by Medicare Part D. This will add in an additional premium in addition to other costs. The key is that the majority of people who qualify for cheap medicare supplemental insurance are 65 and older, and look for their Medigap during open enrollment.
In addition , the other requirements stipulate Medicare Part B and Part A participants are eligible. Once you choose a budget Medigap insurance policy it is as if it is written in stone and can not be altered.
To be eligible for cheap Medicare Supplemental insurance plans in Newman, CA apply for coverage offered by insurers within your state. All policies are available in each state, though most states will have one single policy available for Medicaid plan holders.
Everyone at age 65 and older and who is also enrolled in the Medicare Parts A and B is eligible to purchase a supplemental plan. It is advisable to decide on a plan during the 6 months of open enrollment to pay the most favorable policy premiums.

Dell Inspiron 14z full review
The Dell Inspiron 14z is a full-featured laptop in a compact and lightweight design that will satisfy business- and home users. Here's our Dell Inspiron 14z review.
It's a shame that Dell is probably going to abandon the consumer market in order to focus on big business accounts, as it's produced some very attractive and affordable budget laptops in recent years. The Inspiron 14z is a good example – slim and light, with good performance and battery life, while still coming in at well under £500. Fortunately, Dell tells us that the Inspiron range will still be available as part of its range of business laptops in the future, so it should be around for a little while yet.
There are few obvious signs of cost-cutting compromise in the design of the Windows 8 Inspiron 14z. Its grey-and-silver chassis looks very smart, without the flimsy plastic feel of some of its low-cost rivals. And despite having a built-in DVD drive the 14z measures just 21mm thick and 1.9Kg in weight, so it's certainly portable enough to carry around quite easily in a backpack or briefcase. Dell also pays good attention to detail, with little plastic flaps that cover the HDMI interface and other ports for extra protection.
It's solidly built too, with a firm keyboard that has a comfortable feel to it. The trackpad is quite small, and perhaps not ideal for multi-finger gestures, but that's a minor complaint and the 14z gets it right in all the most important areas. The 14-inch screen provides 1366x768 resolution, and produces a bright, clear image with good viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, so it'll work well for viewing video or giving business presentations.
Dell Inspiron 14z review: customisation options
There are many customisation options for the Inspiron range, including models with an i7 processor costing over £700, but we tested a model with a more affordable Ivy Bridge i3 running at 1.9GHz, 4GB of memory and 500GB hard disk for £459.00. That model also includes a small 8GB solid-state module that gives the hard drive a bit of a boost and allows the 14z to achieve a very respectable score of 3486 when running PCMark 7. That will allow it to handle a wide range of software and applications, including photo- or video-editing work, as well as simple web browsing and wordprocessing.
Battery life is also good for such a low-cost machine, just nudging past five hours (310 mins) when streaming video with its built-in wifi. The only minor disappointment with the 14z is its modest gaming performance. Its Intel HD 4000 graphics could only manage 22fps when running Stalker at 1280x720 resolution and medium graphics settings, so you'll be better off sticking to 2D fare such as Angry Birds for your gaming action.

My husband and I are still trying (and mostly failing) to eat vegan once a week, and we definitely have better weeks than others. This was a successful week. I was actually craving a meal without meat, so I'm counting that as a win! I enjoyed thinking through (and researching plenty of ideas for) this Thai-inspired vegan curry dish. While it's pretty simple as a whole, it tasted delicious!
1 yellow onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 green bell pepper
2 sweet potatoes (cubed)
1 head of cauliflower (cut into bite-sized pieces)
3 13.66 oz cans of coconut milk
2 Tbsp basil
1.5 Tbsp brown sugar*
3 Tbsp red curry paste (I used Thai Kitchen)
Salt to taste
- Add onion, garlic, bell peppers and olive oil to a rondeau pan (or similar pan/pot) and start to sweat them down on medium high heat.
- After about 5-7 minutes, add the sweet potatoes.
- Add the cauliflower, coconut milk, basil, brown sugar, curry paste, and salt after another 2-3 minutes.
- Bring the coconut milk to an easy boil, and turn down the heat to medium. Cook until the cauliflower is tender (about 20 minutes).
- Remove from heat and serve.
I served this curry over jasmine rice. It had a slight heat and the vegetables were awesome! This recipe made a lot of curry, so I plan to freeze some for another time. What a great meal to end the day with!
*Note: After some research, it turns out that not all brown sugar is vegan because some brown sugar is filtered through bone char. There are companies out there that do (apparently) make vegan brown sugar. To keep this recipe completely vegan, a vegan-friendly brown sugar brand should be used. I'm still counting this as a personal win but wanted to clarify.

A special bench made in memory of a fallen First World War soldier was used by veterans during the Remembrance service in Leamington on Sunday.
The bench, created by Rowington resident John Caldwell who has his own garden furniture business, bears the image, name and details of Lt Edwin Cashmore - Mr Caldwell's great uncle who died, aged just 19, of his wounds at The Somme on October 4 1918.
Mr Caldwell intends to have the bench put in a spot within a mile of where Mr Cashmore was buried at Brie British Cemetery in France but in the meantime he put it to good use by bringing it along on Sunday to be used by former servicemen.
He said: "The nice thing was that people came up and spoke to us after the service and an assistant head of North Leamington School said he was sure he had seen my great uncle's name on the plaque they have there due to the school's connection with the former Leamington School for Boys.
"He called me later to tell me that it was there and I was invited along to their remembrance service on Tuesday.
"I remember my grand mother talking about Edwin but it's not until you get older you realise 100 years was not very long ago."
Lt Cashmore was the son of the then Leamington mayor George Cashmore.
In a tragic turn of events, Mr Cashmore is said to have received confirmation of his son's death on the day he announced the end of the war to the town.
Mr Cashmore's older son George, who was also serving in the war, is said to have spent the final hours of Edwin's life at his bedside.
Mr Caldwell is hoping the mayor of Brie will allow the bench to be sited at the end of a bridge overlooking the Somme River and will take it over to France next year.

Regier: Nobody on Sabres is untouchableby Chris Ryndak
BUFFALO – No one on the Buffalo Sabres is untouchable.
With the Sabres in 13th place in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's game against the Washington Capitals and the trade deadline on Wednesday, Buffalo general manager Darcy Regier indicated that the team will be looking to improve with a focus on the future and that any player could be involved in trade discussions.
Earlier in the day, Regier traded veteran defenseman and upcoming unrestricted free agent Jordan Leopold to the St. Louis Blues for a second-round and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft that could turn into a fourth-round if the Blues win a playoff round. Depending on how trade talks go over the next few days, the Sabres may not be done making moves.
The moves the Sabres may make could also impact what they do next summer when the contracts of captain Jason Pominville, leading scorer Thomas Vanek and goaltender Ryan Miller are set to expire. Each has one year left on his current deal.
Moving any one of the three before the trade deadline or before the start of next season would signal a big shift in the direction the organization is moving in. All three players were drafted and developed by the Sabres.
"We have to be open to everything, and I think the players recognize that as well," Regier said. "You're looking to get a group of top players that are going to play together, not on a one-year basis, but going forward [on a] multi-year basis. So that's our focus and it could involve any players and I think the players are aware of that."
The Anaheim Ducks were able to sign captain Ryan Getzlaf and Hart Trophy-winner Corey Perry to long-term extensions this season, the last year of their current deals. While Regier didn't rule out the possibility of keeping Pominville, Vanek and Miller, he said that with the salary cap going down next season, it could prove to be difficult.
"It'll all come down to the numbers," Regier said. "You could look at Anaheim and they obviously signed their two big guys, but… there's only so many of those guys you can have on your roster with the cap the way it is and you need top, quality young players to fill out because they're both good and inexpensive."
Regier said that he is open to trading both those veterans and any prospects in the pipeline if it would benefit the long-term goals of the organization. While it would be difficult for Regier to part with a younger player, he said a trade could possibly happen if it makes sense for the hockey club.
"I wouldn't single out anyone but, I think if the focus is in the right position for us organizationally in an area we feel we still have a need, then we will," Regier said.
He also said that he has spoken to every other GM in the League over the past week and noted that he gets asked about every player, including Miller.
"There continues to be a lot of speculation. Listen, where our hockey club is right now, we have to be open to listening to just about anything and everything and I am listening," Regier said. "I have talked to [the other 29 GMs] over the last – if I say week, it certainly takes in all of them – and I'll continue to try and figure out ways that we can be better, not just for this year, but more importantly, for the future."
Trading Leopold now allows rookie defenseman Mark Pysyk to play more at the NHL level. Pysyk was called up on March 17 and has played in five games this season, averaging 15:36 of ice time per game.
"[Pysyk] is going to be a very good NHL player and this is a test period for him," Regier said of the Sabres' first-round pick (No. 23) from the 2010 NHL Draft. He's handled it very well up to this point, so we'll kind of ride it out right now," Regier said.

text: Known in Italy as gelsomino, jasmine has been cherished for generations in the formal gardens of Calabria, where warm sunshine and gentle sea breezes enhance its soft, green aroma. In Gelsomino Nobile, Acqua di Parma evokes this unique accord across a fragrance of extraordinary richness, personality, and nobility. A floral scent with green and musky notes, it opens with the brightness of Italian mandarin, pink pepper, and the sensuality of tuberose. With orange blossom in the heart and a warm base featuring cedar wood and musk, the grace and richness of Calabrian jasmine is revealed throughout the life of the fragrance.

The Applicability of Benford's Law to the buying Behavior of Foreign Military Sales Customers
Global Journal of Business Research, Vol. 2, No. 2, pp. 77-85, 2008
Posted: 19 Feb 2010
Date Written: 2008
The forces of natural law selection prompt animal species to make preference decisions to maximize their survival utility. Those species making decisions in this way survive, and those which do not tend towards extinction. This process appears to follow a decreasing marginal utility trend with a logarithmic probability distribution, which is identical to Benford's Law. This suggests that Benford's Law is a descriptive statistic of this natural selection process. Additionally, the customers of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency's foreign military sales program presumably also attempt to optimize their survival utility, and exhibit purchasing patterns correlating strongly with Benford's Law. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a mathematical phenomenon, Benford's Law, may prove to be a useful means of understanding the buying behavior of DSCA's foreign customers. This paper also suggests an informal proof of Benford's Law.

After a much anticipated wait, I received both the 1989 & 2006 Holiday Barbies this afternoon!
I was very excited to get them, and both sellers shipped them with much love and care. Needless to say, both arrived in better shape then I could have ever expected! The seller of the 1989 Holiday Barbie was even kind enough to wrap the barbie in a towel along with a lot of padding.
I'll admit, I was a bit nervous about receiving these two as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." but I feel like my daughter hit the jackpot! This is an actual picture of the Barbies we received. As you can see, there's not a scratch on them, the plastic is crystal clear, it looks like I bought them right off the shelf today, but one is over 2 decades old and the other is now 7 years old but they look brand new!
They're both beautiful and we've put up the new shelves in my daughter's room to hold them and keep them safe for many years to come. I'm very excited for my daughter and couldn't have asked for better condition! This is very exciting!
We're awaiting a handful more but the shelves are prepared to hold them when they arrive! Probably will receive some tomorrow as well so looking forward to that!

A Quick Guide to Downsizing in 2014
A lot of my clientele consists of retirees or people that have managed to accumulate more items that they care to maintain. Since it's the beginning of a new year when people feel the greatest motivation for change, I've decided to make a slight detour from my usual focus on collectibles and instead write a quick guide to downsizing effectively and efficiently.
First, give the people or organizations that you care about most the opportunity to request items that they wish to inherit or have passed along. Most times, there may only be a handful of items, with the remainder not necessarily being things they need or want (how many extra bunk beds or food processors does one possibly need?) It's an important conversation to have with your beneficiaries while you are able and will help to minimize disputes down the road.
After certain items have been earmarked for friends or family, the remaining items can be divided into three categories: 1. Sell It 2. Donate It 3. Trash it. I'll expand a bit on each.
Items that should be sold include things like furniture, jewelry, household goods, fine clothing, etc., which are items that retain some degree of value, even if they are used. Sometimes these items have appreciated in value and you may receive more that you thought they were worth. If you'd like someone else to do most of the legwork in selling your items, then a consignment shop or auction house might be a good fit for you. However, if you're the do-it-yourself type or want to keep most of the proceeds for yourself, Craigslist, eBay, and a number of other sales venues exist for that purpose.
Items worth donating may be older (i.e. vintage clothing or appliances), slightly damaged, or may have more sentimental value than resale value (wedding china and travel souvenirs come to mind…) These items are considered usable and functional, but might not be worth the time and effort to sell in the venues previously mentioned. If you have enough items to donate, sometimes you can arrange for a free pick-up from the charity or nonprofit that is receiving the items. Another good resource is Freecycle.org, which allows members to post items available for free to each other.
Finally, if the items are not functional or have been damaged beyond repair or repurpose, it might just be time to throw it out. Items that have significant mold, mildew, rust, or that were inhabited by furry critters for several decades are probably the best candidates for the trash. Who knows, perhaps as soon as you put that rusting hunk of junk on the curb for the trash collector, someone else may come along to claim it as their new treasure.

2. The Patisserie, Johannesburg, South Africa
This was a lovely little place and the decor was gorgeous. They had an amazing array of goodies and my Aunt was especially fond of their profiteroles filled with custard and iced. I tried their cupcakes (you can see them in the centre of the picture) - they were iced with regular icing and had spring/easter patterns on them. They were pretty good and the icing had a hint of lemon to it but for me it has to be buttercream every time so I would give those a 7/10.

Join the ISO contingent for a March and Rally for Gaza
Sunday, 9 January 2011, 1:00pm
33rd and 6th Avenue, Manhattan, NY
ISO meet up: 12:00pm at Seattle's Best Coffee, 100 West 33rd Street (6th Avenue)
We are mobilizing with Palestinian solidarity activitsts to remember the December 27, 2008 Zionist military savagely attacked Gaza. They used weapons paid for by the US to kill hundreds in the first day, and by the end of the three-week assault murdering at least 1,400 and wounding thousands more.
In the years before and since the massacres, Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza leading to malnutrition, stunted growth, and death — and a recent human rights report found that the announced "easing" of the siege never occurred. Murder by Israeli snipers of Gaza farmers trying to work their land is an everyday occurrence.
Meanwhile Israel's main sponsor, the US, continues to block international legal bodies from pursuing the findings of war crimes during the attacks laid out in the Goldstone Report. Nor has justice been brought against the murderers of the Turkish and American citizens on the Mavi Marmara.
Within occupied '48 Palestine, the Zionist government passes ever more explicitly racist laws against its Palestinian "citizens." And on the diplomatic front, the US has dropped its farcical "direct talks" between unelected officials in favor of equally farcical "indirect talks," all with the goal of imposing a final apartheid solution — one which will above all deny the right of return, a right cherished by the overwhelming majority of Gazans who came from '48 Palestine.
The two years since the massacres have been years of mushrooming mobilization against Zionism's crimes, and an unprecedented degree of isolation for the Israeli regime. But this has brought with it retaliation against Palestinians and their supporters, from harassment by campus officials to raids and grand jury subpoenas by the FBI.
This repression is a sign that the Zionists and their sponsors in Washington are worried — not only that further crimes will be met with equally fierce resistance, but also because they know Palestinians are more determined than ever to fight on until total liberation, until every refugee can return, until the land of Palestine is free from the river to the sea!
The demands include:
End the Siege!
No US Aid to Zionist Racism and Murder!
Bring Zionist War Criminals to Justice!
Free Palestine!
We need as many supporters as possible to show their solidarity with the international movement to support Palestinian freedom. We hope you can stand with us on January 9th. Please spread the word!

Returns on Saturday August 10th 2019!
After a brilliant first (and second) year we now have records to be broken, and next year (hopefully) almost 200+ people will be heading off from Marple Rec on Oldknow Road to the Fox Inn pub, at 14:00 on Saturday afternoon, on a challenging 4km trail-run, with each hoping to become our new Champion!
After every kilometre along the way, there's an optional beer-stop, where participants can stop to drink a pint of delicious craft beer (this year supplied by 3 different local breweries!) – or a gin and tonic option is available.
The finish line is the Fox Inn, where a nice cool beer is included in the entry fee, along with a buffet of food and hopefully some live music. The challenge is to complete the 4km run and drink 3 pints along the way (and the winner will get a prize!), but it's mainly an excuse to have fun, get out into the countryside, do some exercise, and, of course, drink beer. Oh, and make money for charity – at least £10 per participant goes to local charities, but more if we get more people.
*the only change from last years epic run is that to win the top prize, you'll have to successfully complete the beer run (but a smaller prize will be awarded to our fastest G&T'er too)
Entries open in May 2019! 🙂
