How Do I Choose A Residential Locksmith in Burnley North?
For every car and home, safety and security are highly important. This is absolutely why locks, keys and electronic security devices came into existence. Their invention was purposefully to address the growing need for personal protection of properties and other valuables. Historically speaking, keys and locks were already used in the Biblical times. Using crude wood and metal, people shaped them into slabs attached against the door from the inside by the use of makeshift brackets. Locksmiths play an important role in everyone's lives. Although sometimes unrecognized and taken for granted, locksmiths are the people who keep us safe in our homes and in our cars. Without locksmith services, perhaps the rate of theft and burglary have already risen up to uncontrollable levels.
Residential Locksmith Services.
The most basic service that a locksmith offers is the installation of locks in a new home. Home owners naturally want their personal safety as well as their material possessions secured. This can be done by setting up locks on every window and door in the home. But apart from this, locksmiths also replace or repair locks for older homes. Other related residential locksmith services include key duplication in cases when there is a need for every family member to have their own set of keys, installation of home vaults and safes, repairs and desk lock installation, garage door lock installation and repairs and of course, overall maintenance of house locks whether electronic or not.
Emergency Locksmith Services.
This is perhaps the most demanding type of service for every locksmith, especially for those who are on call 24 hours a day. Basically, emergency locksmiths should be ready to help even at the most awkward hours of the day. People call on emergency locksmiths during home and car lock-outs, during vehicular accidents when their expertise is needed to open a jammed door with a trapped passenger, and during fire disasters when doors have to be unlocked to rescue people inside a burning building In the event of burglary and theft, homeowners need emergency locksmiths to immediately replace all locks around the house. In addition, emergency locksmiths can also pick locks to gain access to important documents and valuables inside a malfunctioning vault.
Mobile Locksmith Services
Emergency Service
For fast emergency service when locked out of a car or home, mobile locksmiths can often get the job done within the shortest time possible. For example, rather of making a car, getting found by a relative or friend, going home and risk getting the vehicle harmed or stolen, a specialist locksmith can come to the rescue. These experienced locksmiths can offer emergency services to home and companies, saving both money and time.
Emergency Service
From re-keying ignition locks to helping house or business people enter into a locked building, a mobile locksmith is frequently the solution that is best. Why suffer the stress of leaving a motor car unattended or a home or business unsecured?
Instead of waiting days or much longer for a locksmith to arrive — or possibly even having to go to a store front side — customers can have the locksmith come to them. A mobile locksmith service can change or upgrade locks and restore peace of mind and home security if home keys have been stolen and the homeowner worries about possible break-ins or other dangers.
The homeowner doesn't need certainly to leave home first. Any possible burglars is going to be foiled inside their attempts to use the key that is stolen open a door. Just What other types of services can a mobile locksmith offer? If price is an element, free quotes is provided before arriving to handle a car, home or business emergency. Even though there is not an emergency, a locksmith can assess home, business or car safety and also make guidelines about how to ensure the maximum safety.
Some panicky people try to open doors themselves but numerous home, business or car hair are actually made so your old methods don't work. Even when they do, cars or other locks can be damaged or scratched as well as the lock can be broken even further. Do it yourself means of opening business or home hair also can cause problems.
Some locks may wear down, break or must be rekeyed. A new key is made which fits the door lock and opens it in the re-keying process. a professional mobile locksmith knows just how to take care of this on an emergency basis. The locksmith knows whether a master key or lock-specific key needs to be used (master keys may open a series of different locks, all in the same group of locks) by examining the lock.
In some cases, an entirely brand new lock has to be installed by a mobile locksmith solution. But a master locksmith will give a honest evaluation about whether that choice is necessary. After that, using up to date professional tools, the brand new lock can be put in place and look completely any way you like with the car, home or business exterior.
It helps to know exactly what kinds of services may be completed for each type of need: auto, business or home. Auto emergencies and work that is routine opening locked automobiles as well as changing, repairing, and setting up any type of lock. Mobile locksmith services can also make new auto secrets or re-key ignition and home locks.
Similar actions could be provided by mobile locksmiths to meet business and home owners' needs. The convenience of a locksmith on the go can't be beat whether helping individuals get into locked doors or making or re-keying new locks or keys.

Win $250 From American Express!
November 22, 2011 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Holiday shopping is never easy and it's even more challenging when you're on a budget. I've lost count of how many times I've wandered aimlessly through the malls with no clue what to buy and so frustrated that I pick something out of my budget just so I don't walk out empty handed. But I've learned from my mistakes and so can you! Try some of my personal tips below for staying within a holiday budget and getting the most out of your dollar this season. Best of all, American Express is offering one lucky fashiongrail fan a $250 gift card by simply sharing your personal budget shopping tip!
- Make a detailed list and start with the most difficult person to shop for first. I know they say, "get the easy ones out of the way first," but who wants to run around on Christmas Eve looking for that one item you can't find? Not me!
- Check online sales before hitting the stores. Tons of stores have online specials where you can pick up items in store and most places are posting deals as early as the day before Thanksgiving.
- If you're waiting for Black Friday then plan on getting there early! Lots of stores are on a first come first served basis and utilize tickets.
- Don't be afraid to wait for Cyber Monday. Free shipping is what it's all about!
- Bring your phone and sign up for your favorite store's feed to get instant deals and coupons (some stores let you utilize a barcode right from your phone).
- If you plan on using credit cards, choose wisely. Companies like American Express are doing a great job educating consumers about the benefits of smart shopping this holiday season to include leveraging card protection and the benefits of Membership Rewards (gotta love them points!).
- Crunched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is Small Business Saturday. Besides the convenience and traditionally great service that small, local businesses offer, American Express is offering its cardholders a one-time credit of $25 if they register an eligible card and make a purchase of at least $25 at a small business.
- Suggest a gift swapping/ Secret Santa scenario instead of buying a gift for every single person you know. Try a holiday fun brunch with wine and appetizers during gift swap. Get creative and turn it into a yearly tradition.
How to Win the $250 Amex Gift Card:
Leave a comment below offering your personal budget shopping tip. For an extra entry tweet the contest and tell us below that you did. For a third entry, post on Fashiongrail's Facebook wall your time saving tip and again let us know you did in the comments below. For an extra entry you tweet the giveaway or 'like' American Express and Fashiongrail on Facebook (make sure you state that you did below). One random winner will be chosen on Novemebr 28th. American Express will ship gift card directly to winner. U.S. residents only.

The combined manufacturing and service score reached a low (52.0) not seen for more than two years.
Columbia, MD (PRWEB) August 31, 2016
Good news in the August Credit Managers' Index (CMI) from the National Association of Credit Management (NACM) is short-lived. Although the combined score and index of favorable factors sit above 50 in expansion territory, that's where the good news ends.
The combined manufacturing and service score reached a low (52.0) not seen for more than two years. The score reflects the month-on-month deterioration of favorable categories which went from 60.0 to 56.4. In comparison, unfavorable factors contracted slightly (49.2 to 49.1). "The best that can be said about the decline is that it was bad and hasn't gotten much worse," said NACM Economist Chris Kuehl, Ph.D. "The most vexing part of the change is that it is happening at the start of the season that many in the economy count on for growth."
Of the favorable factors, the sales category fell the hardest (60.0 to 53.7)—another two-year low. "The sales collapse meshes with the Purchasing Managers' Index and other statistics, so it is unlikely an anomaly," Kuehl said. New credit applications took a softer fall (57.8 to 56.7), and dollar collections dipped (59.5 to 55.5) to a number not seen since December. Although it appeared amount of credit extended had started to normalize in the 60s, this month it slipped (62.8 to 59.7). "Amount of credit extended is important as this reflects credit issuance to the larger clients and customers as they are the ones that will be seeking the most," Kuehl said.
Unfavorable categories remained weak overall even with minor improvements in rejections of credit applications and disputes, 50.7 to 51.6 and 47.6 to 47.8, respectively. "The only companies accessing credit are the good customers and the ones least likely to be turned down," Kuehl said. Filings for bankruptcies grew from 50.7 to 52.8. "This reading has stayed fairly steady for the bulk of the year and signals that most of the credit crisis has been as expected," he said. Accounts placed for collection had the lowest reading since November 2015, dropping from 48.2 to 47.7. Dollar amount beyond terms (48.8 to 46.3) and dollar amount of customer deductions (49.0 to 48.1) also both fell. "The bottom line as far as the unfavorable factors are concerned is that things have not started to improve any, but they are not getting any worse either."

Your Council > About Indigo
We could talk about the food and the wine, the extensive rail trails, the distinct seasons - our autumn is really something quite special. We could talk about our preserved history - Australia's most significant collection of historic towns. But it is more than that. We have something quite different and unique here.
It's the winding roads and the little discoveries you make at the end of them. It's the environment - the unspoilt corners of the shire like Wahgunyah on the mighty Murray River and Upper Sandy Creek in the Kiewa Valley, the giant granite outcrops around Mt Pilot, the national parks.
It's missing your turn on a weekend drive and finding yourself at the end of a bush track looking at Mt Buffalo or Mt Hotham in the distance and realising it's only about an hour to drive up there for a day's snow skiing. It's the ease of driving down and back to Melbourne in a day to catch a matinee show with your children. It's going to any of our festivals across the Shire and seeing the spirit in our communities.
Our people are dynamic, creative, spirited and discerning.
All of this is what makes Indigo different.
Beechworth is one of only two towns in Victoria classified as "Notable" by the National Trust. With wide tree-lined streets and solid, dignified buildings still in their original splendour, Beechworth is reminiscent of the flamboyant gold rush days.
Many buildings, sites, historic trees and the commercial core of the town are listed by the Australian Heritage Commission, Heritage Victoria and the National Trust. These magnificent buildings of the late 1800s have been restored and now house restaurants, accommodation, and specialty shops.
Beechworth can offer you fine dining, wineries, restaurants, cafes and country pubs, gift shops, book stores and a large selection of bric-a-brac wares.
Wines to fortify, invigorate, enjoy, warm, and best of all leave you with a memorable taste experience. You can get a taste of the many wonderful wineries, each with their own history and expertise, by the glass or the bottle. Immerse yourself in the heritage as you visit the wineries from historic castles to rustic rooms that house the gold of this region. Savour the full flavours of the area, be it fine dining, casual bistro or picnic hamper and, at the end of the day, enjoy the warm hospitality of an historic pub stay, cabin beside the river, motel or B & B.
Out at the furthest northwestern corner of the Shire is one of Indigo's best kept secrets. The serene and peaceful stretch of the Murray River that forms the Shire's boundary at Wahgunyah is quiet now, offering shady havens in an area that was once full of life in the paddlesteamer era. After the successful navigation of the Murray River to Wahgunyah in 1853, Wahgunyah became an important paddlesteamer port. Today there are a few reminders of this vibrant and colourful passage of history including the Customs House which still watches over visitors arriving from NSW.
Chiltern is an historic town and living memorial to bygone days; its business centre buildings restored and maintained to preserve the architecture of its gold mining heritage.
The town has developed its theme around historic museums and bric-a-brac shops. Chiltern has been used as a setting for many films - My Brother Tom, The True Story of Spit McPhee and Ride a Wild Pony to name a few. There are quaint shops offering antiques and collectables, as well as cafes and accommodation. With most of its attractions within easy walking distance of the main street, a picturesque park on Lake Anderson, bush walking tracks and bird watching spots in the surrounding Box-Ironbark National Park, Chiltern makes an ideal base for a relaxed holiday in North East Victoria.
Hume and Hovell passed through the Yackandandah valleys in 1824 not long before the area was first settled in 1837. After the discovery of gold in 1852 along the Yackandandah Creek the town flourished. In 1856 the township was surveyed, land sales began and substantial buildings were constructed. Today the town retains a wealth of Victorian architecture and picturesque tree lined streets. Heritage Victoria and the National Trust list many of the buildings and trees. In and around Yackandandah there are many walks and scenic drives. The hit movie Strange Bedfellows starring Paul Hogan and Michael Caton was filmed in Yackandandah in 2003.
Tangambalanga, Aboriginal for "white clawed lobster", is situated on Indigo Shire's boundary to the northeast and is 21km from Wodonga. Tangambalanga is the base for a major manufacturer that provides employment to over 120 people.
The historic hamlet of Stanley sits in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, just 8km from Beechworth. A diverse range of flora, fauna and fine local produce abounds: delicious berries and cherries in high summer, crisp apples and juice, walnuts and chestnuts through the autumm beautiful gardens and scenic drives: a joy in every season.
Barnawartha is a small, historic village, which also shared the excitement of the gold rush of the 1850s. Barnawartha is nestled in a scenic valley, making a welcome resting place for visitors. Koendidda, built in the gold era, is an historic mansion set in a splendid garden setting. Tastefully restored, it now operates as a B & B.

Since I am unable to find sugar-free peach pie filling, I usually make my own pie filling, or just take two handfuls of blueberries and drop them in. But tonight, I mixed everything but the sugar and the batter was very stiff. Then I reread the recipe to make sure nothing was missed, then put in the sugar which loosened the batter. Now I know sugar is considered a liquid ingredient but I never noticed it until tonight. I am curious why sugar made the batter easier to work with.

J Crew Gold Brass Star Earring
₱250.00 ₱1,300.00
Tiny golden studs are on our always list.
- Burnished Brass.
- Light gold plating.
- Size: 0.5 inch
- This item has been so popular, it's already sold out in stores.
All HELLO AMELIE accessories are PLATED. Below are a few recommendations in extending the longevity of your jewelry items.
REMEMBER, anything plated will eventually turn with time and wear. The more frequent you wear the jewelry the quicker the plating will fade.
AVOID MOISTURE. This one is tough but avoid swimming, sweating, lotions, sprays and high humidity. Certain people perspire more than others when doing daily tasks or working out. Perspiration fades plating especially when the damp skin rubs against metal. This is our most common cause of wear with our customers. If you do find you spent some time in your jewelry where it was exposed to moisture immediately take a very damp cloth and gently wipe clean.
REMOVE AT NIGHT. Sleeping with plated jewelry isn't advised as night sweat and extra rubbing against the skin are two of the main reasons why plating fades.
STORE GOLD WITH GOLD AND SILVER WITH SILVER. The different metals will create a chemical reaction that causes each other to tarnish, fade and/or turn colors when stored together. Two separate air-tight containers would be a good option for storage. Air tight to avoid exposure to humidity specially if you keep your jewelry in the restroom which is not ideal as it thins plating.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH CHEMICALS. Chemicals will break down the plating and do the opposite of what you are trying to achieve. Fine jewelry can handle the chemicals, but plating is very delicate and should only be wiped with a clean dry cloth.

Possible New Smart Cover May Offer Full iPad Protection
by Brent Dirks
March 5, 2012
Apple's popular smart cover for the iPad 2 only offers protection for the front of the device, but the company is apparently busy on a new solution that will protect the rear shell as well. According to iLounge, a "repeatedly reliable source" told the site that Apple is working on a new Smart Cover for the iPad 3, which is expected to be unveiled at an event on Wednesday in San Francisco. The new tablet will apparently sport LTE connection options, an improved processor and Siri functionality. The new option will feature a folding, magnetized front cover like the current Smart Cover, along with a real shell made from fiberglass covered with polyurethane/bicast leather. The cover is expected to be similar to the pictured Magazine Jacket case from Incase. It's not known whether the new cover would be compatible with the iPad 2 or only fit the slightly thicker iPad 3. The current Smart Cover uses magnets situated on the case and built inside the iPad 2 to automatically wake the device when opened. The report also throws some new iPhone 5 rumors into the mix. Even with more than a year of speculation on an aluminum-backed version, the source told iLounge that Apple is continuing to play with designs that use glass and ceramic for the rear shells. The possible new design would be similar to the iPhone 4, but thinner thanks to stronger Gorilla Glass 2 and smaller components inside the phone. iLounge also confirmed an earlier report that Apple is looking to possibly do away with the familiar 30-pin dock connector. As also rumored for some time, a bigger screen for the next iPhone "remains in the cards." Are you excited that a new Smart Cover may offer full protection for the new iPad 3, and hopefully the iPad 2?

But what transpired instead? I played solitaire on my phone. And that game where you flick a ball of paper into a wastebasket against the windy peril of an enemy desk fan. And I slept with my mouth open. And I ate about a trillion candied pecans out of my purse, because airlines are in such a state nowadays that you have to smuggle your OWN NUT PRODUCTS ON BOARD. Forget the TSA kerfuffle. I want my snacks restored!
I've since cracked the Vanity Fair. I'm past photos from the Jessica Seinfeld party in the Hamptons, but not yet to the think piece on the NEW ESTABLISHMENT 2010 (I predict Snooki).
I did come across a great John Heilpern interview with Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Tony Kushner, and wanted to share this quote with the rest of you writers who live for the craft but would just assume eat purse peanuts until your stomach bleeds than pick up a pen some days.
John Heilpern: "Do you agree that writers are world-class avoiders of writing?"
Tony Kushner: "I could run rings around anyone! Gardening is a great diversion. I have a terrace, and I'll suddenly decide even in the dead of winter to go out and wrap pots in burlap. I shop. I shop for books and more books. There's so much that's really good to watch on TV, too - most recently Breaking Bad. I also have a fountain pen fetish."
So, there you have it. Burlap pots. Makes me feel like a machine. Thanks, Tony!

But there is almost like what we call a marsupial pouch kind of like a kangaroo's pouch where there's no shear whatsoever.
This marsupial is only very distantly related to the American Opossum.
I think I have an obvious solution: looking at skulls that are neither the wolf or its so-called marsupial "equivalent."
The thylacine has been variously described as a "marsupial wolf" or a "Tasmanian tiger".
I am like some kind of marsupial with one kid strapped to my chest or hanging of my leg.
I have really determined that, unless I grow some kind of marsupial pouch, I'm never leaving the house without at least one pocket in whatever I'm wearing.
They are then transferred to a kind of marsupial pouch, analogous to that of the kangaroo, where their development proceeds.
Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 423 Volume 17, New Series, February 7, 1852
The Axel rover system being developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion System could be used as a "marsupial" rover.
Central to the debate has been the demise of the Australian megafauna, including animals such as marsupial lions, hippopotamus-sized wombats and the 2m-tall giant kangaroo Procoptodon goliah.
Then, Ken Ausley asked students to find the word "marsupial" in their dictionary and see who could be the first to tell him what it meant.
See monotreme.
John: Well, now that you mention it, I do feel that way when I'm working (in NJ)....
STAN-dards!! :)
No amount of House, or even Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, or anything else I've seen him in will ever stop this sketch from being the first thing I think of when Hugh's name is mentioned.
Fire away at Jerseyland. It's more like my penitentiary.
Saayyy, watch what you say about John's adopted state. ;-)
Isn't House's backstory that he's traveled all over creation, both as a child and later in his studies? Ahh, what do I know....
*thinking about the American "R" and now wondering whether all pirates are actually Americans*
It has a touch of the broad vowel flatness associated with rural areas (Midwest?), but the rudeness is definitely Joisey. :) Wait... didn't the character go to Johns Hopkins? So perhaps he's not originally from Jersey/NY...? (Not that one's choice of medical school is necessarily the closest one. Just sayin'.)
It's still a dang good accent, even if it is generic. I don't think, during the pounding of several episodes a night (borrowed the DVDs from a friend... ahem...) that I've caught any British-sounding articulations more than, maybe, two or three times. That's pretty remarkable, considering that hearing a Brit (or Aussie) try to pronounce an American "R" sound (as in "arrrpeggio" or "butter" or better yet, "dork") makes me fall off my chair laughing.
For an example of the opposite extreme, see Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." Or at least, the first third of it, before he fired his dialect coach and just freakin' gave up trying to sound English... the flaming git.
I don't watch the show much--I've only seen a couple of episodes--but he definitely does not have a typical New Jersey or NY accent (the show takes place in/around Princeton, NJ). It does sound rather generic to me.
Laurie's House accent still doesn't sound right to me. What part of the States is House supposed to be from? Is it just a generic American accent? Where would you guys place it? I think because I was used to his native accent, the US one will always seem faux to me.
Maruspial is an inspired choice of favourite word.
Then it's probably me, since I've never seen either. But you're right about marsupial. :-)
I'm just getting used to his House accent, actually. I keep thinking of him in Blackadder III (If at work, use headphones before clicking) and IV.
I will say that marsupial sounds much less hilarious and more dignified when spoken with a British accent.
Doesn't it always amaze you that his real-life accent is decidedly not like his House accent?
Hee! Thanks for that link, telofy.
Hugh Laurie's favorite word.
Isn't it surprising that when I was the first person to list kangeroo 15 people had already listed marsupial?

Iowa Governor Terry Branstad said he hasn't made up his mind on whether to sign a bill that would legalize the use of cannabis oil for people suffering from epilepsy.
But Branstad said Monday he has talked to the governors of Utah and Alabama about it and they have told him of no issues of the oil's misuse.
Branstad said, "We've got to be very careful and very thoughtful about this."
Branstad's gubernatorial challenger, State Senator Jack Hatch, a Des Moines Democrat, said Branstad should already be familiar with the bill, which lawmakers finalized last week. "That's what a governor's supposed to do. That's the leadership we expect," Hatch said.
Hatch wants the governor to sign the bill this week.
Branstad has 30 days to sign or veto the bill once he receives the finalized bill from the legislature. As of Monday morning, he said he hadn't received the bill yet.

The Pakistani market roared back into the picture this week by capturing THE two market sales of the week at impressive numbers. A large part of this has to go down to cash buyer speculation, but there is a feeling that prices in Gadani are set to potentially pick up, in conjunction with the bullishness displayed in both India and Bangladesh presently.
As another VLCC, gas free for man entry only, was committed to one eager cash buyer (at previously unheard of levels), the interest of end buyers, competing cash buyers and curious owners was piqued accordingly. The Navios controlled SHINYO NAVIGATOR (42,448 LDT) was sold for a hefty USD 441/LT LDT for a Gadani delivery (with Sellers having the option to declare a USD 434/LT LDT price 'as is' Fujairah with only minimal bunkers).
The other sale concerned the capesize bulker RAM PRASAD (19,492 LDT), with the Danish build, full spares and 350 T bunkers all contributing to the extremely firm price of USD 440/LT LDT on show.

Being involved in the world of life insurance I tend to think about death more than I would say most people do. With that said I've been pondering on how to introduce such a morbid and dark infographic. As I've begun to write the intro for this infographic I hear Mohinders voice from the tv series "Hero's."
It is a natural desire to have a distinct yearning for survival. The past teaches us valuable lessons of mystery, life, and death. Lessons that you and I as humans will and must learn to prolong our life. For the most part we are able and capable of determining our own fate. But is there a greater force that has the power to decide when we rise or fall, how we die, or when we take our last breath? Is it us that should be blamed for our death, or something else far greater than our being? Should death be blamed at all? Despite all of this, the life cycle continues to chase us from behind. One day it will catch up with us and stare us down, face to face.
So what is death? Completely random, out of our control, in our control, or completely our fault? This dark infographic sheds light on the absurd deaths of the past so that we will not perish to the same ridiculous ways of dying in the present. So I ask this question: for 40 year old Tycho of Denmark, was it his fault he died because he held his bladder too long?

The Secret of Starlight Landing
eBook (PDF), 189 Pages
Price: $12.99
"Save Starlight Landing." Fourteen-year-old Kacy Cannon has no idea what her estranged grandmother's dying words mean. The truth is, she doesn't much care. Kacy is furious at her parents for leaving their high-profile jobs as top US Diplomats and exiling the family to rural northern New York State. And she resents the grandmother she never really knew for forcing this move on them. Frankly, as soon as Kacy sees her father's hometown, she thinks it needs to just be allowed to finish the downward spiral it's been following for the last forty years. Every building is crumbling, there's no cable (or cell service), and the nearest thing to culture is an hour and a half away. The only thing saving her is the search for a special gift her grandmother left for her. Little does she know that when she discovers that gift, and the ancient family secret it represents, her life and the lives of everyone around her will change forever.

LONDON -- Greco-Roman wrestler Ellis Coleman believes the U.S. Olympic team is big enough for two flying squirrels, but he is prepared to defend his right to the nickname should anyone think gymnast Gabby Douglas has the only claim.
The Oak Park-River Forest High School graduate got the moniker nearly three years ago because of his risky signature move, which requires him to somersault over his opponent and then take him down from behind. After video of the technique became an Internet sensation last year, he changed his twitter handle to @daFlyinSquirrel and friends began selling Flying Squirrel paraphernalia to help pay his mother's way to London for the Games.

A few days ago a fellow BookCrosser asked for children's books. I had a few so I send her a box. There were a few books I had read as a child.
These books were used for learning to read. Nowadays this happens in small groups I've been told. Groups of children that are on the same level. In my time we had to read with the whole class. It didn't matter if you were ahead or behind on your reading skills. This is what we read and you have to do it.
Now I've always been an avid reader. Ever since I started to read I've been reading everything that I could get my hands on. My mom took me to the library when I was very little and when I was 4 I got my own library card. In these days (and it's not that long ago) a child couldn't get a library card if they were younger than 4. It's quite different now, thankfully.
So these books triggered a few happy memories and quite a few bad ones as well.
"Frouk, would you read the next paragraph?" Well, I would, but I had no idea where in heaven's name we were. Being ahead of my class in reading I silently read more than I should have and lost where the rest of the class was in the book. This, of course, got me into trouble quite a few times.
"Frouk, you can't read that book, it's too advanced for you." No, it wasn't. I had read that particular book from the library and enjoyed it so much I wanted to read it again. It was supposed to be for the class ahead of ours and me reading it got me into trouble again.
This happened a lot and after a while I didn't want to read books from the library anymore. When my mom heard why not she went to our teacher and I got moved ahead (as the only one in my class) just for reading. I know soon after that they've changed the way they taught children how to read, but I'm not sure if my case had anything to do with that.
"You can't borrow book from that section." Our library had three children's sections; 6-9, 9-12, 12-16. And in these days you weren't even allowed to wander into a different section of you were choosing your own books. Now I started reading books for the ages 9-12 when I was 7. My mom and dad applauded this and always encouraged me to read whatever I wanted (within limits of course). But the library wasn't that encouraging and it got me into trouble a few times.
"You can't come in here 3 times a week and constantly borrowing books." Yes, this was actually said to me by a librarian. Our library was open three afternoons a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And every single one of these days I was there, borrowing more books. By this time the limit was only 3 books and I read them all in two days. Kids books just aren't as thick as adult books. Luckily my mom was there and told them I could come in as many times as I'd like, provided I brought back the books I'd previously borrowed.
"You can't borrow boys books." My favourite book series are 'boys' books. But apparently girls can't read those books. I'm still not sure why. In the following years I've heard this many times (never by my family) and never stopped reading those books. On the contrary, my love for 'boys' books has grown and I'm buying them whenever I find them in charity shops.
"Your mom needs to borrow her own books." By the time I was 14 I'd pretty much read the entire children's section. My mom gave me permission to borrow 'adult' books. Of course the library did not agree with me borrowing adult books and my mom had to come with me every time I wanted to borrow books. By this time I was in high school and had homework, friends and sport, so my reading time was reduced quite a bit. The maximum amount of books was upped from 3 to 5, so this meant I was only in there about once a week. It took quite a bit of persuasion before I was actually allowed to take adult books and sometimes still got into trouble with it.
"Why are you always reading?" Again, said by a librarian. And still, I have no idea why she said this. You are in a library, what do you expect people to do? Maybe it was because I was in the check out line and many times I started reading while waiting. I don't know.
"Why have you chosen the hardest books?" We had to read 10 books for our exams in high school. And I did not choose the thinnest, easiest books, like my classmates did. And of course this triggered a lot of abuse from them. They thought me reading thicker books would have an impact on their grade. I don't think it had any effect. Only their own actions had an effect on their grades.
"Why would you even read such a thick book?" Said to me by a teacher. Yes, a teacher… I was reading The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough at the time. And, as you might know, this books is almost 700 pages. So why? Because I'd seen the mini series and I enjoyed them and I enjoyed reading the book as well.
Luckily, all these snarky comments have never stopped me from reading. I'm very grateful to my dad, who let me borrow his Kameleon books when I was just 7 years old, and to my mom, who always encouraged my love of reading.

Major News and Events of 18 June 2014
What Happened on 18 June 2014
Archaeologists, officials and team of IIT Chennai to evaluate Kedarnath Temple
Rajasthan government accepts change in wind energy policy to attract investment
Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi to take additional responsibility of UP
Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha granted bail
Odisha prepared for low monsoons
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has reshuffled his cabinet. In this reshuffle, portfolios of 13 key ministers have been changed, whereas one minister has been dismissed, as per media reports. Pawan Pandey, Minister of State for entertainment tax, is now no more a part of the Cabinet. Other ministers who were divested from important positions includes, Prisons Minister Rajendra Chowdhary, Basic Education Minister Ram Govind Chaudhary and Balram Yadav (Panchayati Raj) and Manoj Pandey. The reason behind the reshuffle is the poor performance of these ministers in the Lok Sabha elections. In the elections, the party won just five seats out of 80 in Uttar Pradesh.
Flash floods had damaged the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand last year. A team of archaeologists, and officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Ministry of Culture, will evaluate the condition of the shrine. Apart from them, a team from IIT Chennai will also visit the temple site. ASI does not protect the temple, but was given the responsibility to restore it. In October, ASI started the conservation work, including structural and chemical preservation of the 11th century temple.
The Rajasthan government is working on attracting investment in the Wind Energy Sector, to achieve which the government has cleared the changes made in the wind energy policy. As per media reports, the decision was taken at the Cabinet Meeting, headed by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. The Cabinet has allowed electricity distribution companies to buy Wind Power, wind energy producers can now sell wind energy to other states, and a committee would be set up to allocate government land for building wind energy plant. These changes will assist in setting up projects of 400 MW Wind Power capacities, annually. Also, it will bring investments of near about Rs 2,500 crore to the state.
President Pranab Mukherjee has accepted the resignation of Uttar Pradesh governor B L Joshi, as per media reports. Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi, will now handle the additional responsibility of UP. There are many top BJP veterans in queue to become governors including the names of former Lucknow MP Lalji Tandon, former UP Speaker Kesharinath Tripathi, and former UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh. All these leaders were convinced not to fight Lok Sabha elections as they were promised to be given better opportunities later on. State leaders are happy over the resignation of Joshi.
Hazaribagh court in Jharkhand granted a bail to senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha, after he moved the bail petition, as per media reports. Senior party leader L K Advani, met Sinha in jail on Tuesday, and said that the possibility of giving Sinha a larger role in the party cannot be neglected. Sinha was arrested for agitating against power crisis in Delhi and locking up officials of the electricity board on 2 June. He was then sent to judicial custody for not furnishing a bail, which was extended till 28 June.
Monsoons are expected to give a below normal performance this year. It is expected that rainfall will be below normal, but the state of Odisha, the seventh largest producer of paddy in India, is all prepared to tackle the low monsoon. Odisha University of Technology and state government has prepared a contingency plan to deal with Early and Medium drought. In early drought farmers can sow short duration paddy, whereas in medium drought farmers can grow pulses. But, the plan does not contain measures in case the drought is late.

This Friday, we'll publish the fifth installment of our occasional Ten-in-One: Meals by the Mile series where we review 10 restaurants located within a compact area. For this Friday's GO section, we're paying a visit to the Proctor dining neighborhood.
We thought we'd prime your appetite the next few days with previews of dishes we enjoyed during our reviews.
Today, take a bite out of the pot du crème on the menu at the Rosewood Café. Click "more" to read about the dessert pictured here.
If you're a chocolate fanatic and you haven't tried the pot du crème ($4.50) at the Rosewood Café, you must. The ingredients, like so much about the Rosewood Café, are straightforward and simple, but wonderfully executed: Dark chocolate, heavy cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla transformed into a luscious cup of chocolate custard.

Over 2,000 drug tests conducted so far at Rio Olympics
Rio de Janeiro: More than 2,000 drug tests have been conducted on athletes competing at the Rio Olympics, International Olympic Committee's (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams has said.
Adams gave out the information at a daily briefing at the Main Press Centre on Thursday, reports Xinhua.
But he didn't answer whether there have been any positive results so far.
The Russian doping scandal has made the anti-doping program at these Games focus of attention. IOC announced earlier that up to 4500 urine tests and about 1000 blood tests will be done during the Games.
When asked if the IOC "regrets" awarding the Games to Rio, Adams said, "Absolutely not. This is the first Games in South America. This is really important to us."
"With the problems they have here… with the economy, politics, it is really important for us to show this solidarity. I think we'll look back on these Games as a really, really good thing for the Olympic Movement."

Brazil's former president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is set to stand trial on charges of attempting to influence a corruption investigation at the state-run Petrobras oil company, judicial officials say.
"The charge is obstruction of justice" linked to the Petrobras embezzlement probe, named Operation Car Wash, AFP quoted an unidentified spokesman for the Brazilian Justice Ministry as saying on Friday.
The 70-year-old ex-president was officially charged along with six others, including former senator Delcidio do Amaral, a once-important ally in Lula's Workers' Party who is accused of Petrobras-linked fraud and has emerged as a prosecution witness.
Speaking at a financial seminar in Sao Paulo, however, Lula responded to the development, saying "I doubt there is anyone more law-abiding than I am."
Lula further accused Delcidio of fabricating his testimony in a bid to prevent a serious sentence in his own case.
Brazilian prosecutors say the multibillion-dollar Petrobras graft scheme originated during his 2003-2011 presidency term and continued during that of his successor, suspended President Dilma Rousseff. Lula has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
A spokesman for the former president also described state charges as "flimsy," noting in a statement that they "are based uniquely on (evidence from) a plea bargain."
"Lula has never opposed the investigations," said the statement.
The ex-leader also said, "The only thing I want is respect -- not to be tried by the media and by leaks against innocent people."
Lula, who was key to bringing the summer Olympics to Rio, left office with huge popularity thanks to social programs during his administration that lifted tens of millions of Brazilians from poverty.
His legacy, however, has been seriously tainted by the emergence of the Petrobras scandal, in which dozens of politicians and executives stand accused of having embezzled from the huge state oil company in a web of inflated contracts, kickbacks and bribes during his presidency.
Although Lula is accused by his opponents to have been at the center of the scheme, the charges on which he will stand trial are limited to alleged attempts to obstruct the enquiry.
The development comes just a week prior to the opening of the Olympics and will reignite a simmering political crisis that has reversed the Workers' Party dominance across Brazil over the past 13 years.

Quote: Einstein on the Religion of Science
"Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe."
- Albert Einstein, scientist and Nobel laureate (1879 - 1955)
Newest 5 Comments
CORRECTION IN MY COMMENTS (AT '10'): "However, they are unabe to see such orderliness, nor does anyone have equations explainig it to them, IN THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL LIFE, OR IN HUMAN LIFE IN ENERAL." (The words in bold caps were inadvertently omitted earlier by me.)
Most ordinary people too experience, and marvel at, the orderliness of the universe, at least our solar system, the seasons and so many other phenomena on our beautiful earth. However, they are unabe to see such orderliness, nor does anyone have equations explainig it to them. They are also puzzled as to why certain people, working hard, do not achieve great results while certain others without apparently at least not doing such hard work, strike fortunes. The God who ordains the orderliness of univese is of little consequence to the people who are thus frustrted. Hence they envision a personal God who can guide them through their gloom and give solace so that they can, with some inspired confidence in God, look for their turn of great days. However, I am convinced that the church is utterly stupid in insisting that only Jesus be this God, and the Christian ways alone can give the salvation to people. Similarly, too, Islamic clergy and it considers as THE righteous ways. The church moreover is extremely guilty of branding as 'heretics, persecuting through history, numerous people who used their 'god-given' brains to unravel truth without subscribing to the dogmas of Christianity, and have undoubtedly either discovered many truths in final form, or are closing in on many others. Despite its repentance for its folly of this persecution, the Church continues its old ways, spreads ignorance, and even covertly persecutes those who do not accept its surviving dogmas.
Einstein as a scientist could not help apprehending a God due to the perfect orderliness in the universe he studied with his "thought experiments" (which I recomend, you should enjoy researching online!). Believers in denominational religions - most of the times Christianity and Islam - merely repeat, out of faith, or feigned faith, what some saint like Jesus or Mohammed Nabi said as their subjective experience, that is without ever bothering to do anything for that experience in their own turn. The denominational religions can only divde the world and disturb the orderliness which Einstein perceived with his experiments.
Tim-- every science report? Really? Every single one brings up God just so it can deny the possibility? Even the reports on, say, the speeds of light through different mediums?
Spirituality is ignored because it cannot be quantified. Science is only concerned with that which can be falsified regarding the natural universe. God/spirituality/religion are outside its purview. This is indicative neither of its validity nor invalidity.

Einstein didn't believe in a personal God, he was a Deist. So all these Christians foaming at the mouth in excitement should check themself b4 they wreck themself!

In In the 1950s when Gemmology as a science was not widely known in India, Late Sh. Govindas Mukandas, a jeweller to the erstwhile Nizam and the ruler of the Deccan, initiated the study of gems & jewellery in a scientific way. He successfully used his knowledge about gem deposits in the Golconda territory to the benefit of his patrons. His own learnings about the occurrence, formation cutting and mining of gem stones especially that of Ruby and Sapphire, coupled with guidance from John Sinkankas – Max Bauer created a foundation for gemmology in the seventies.
Building on this education and experience, his son Sh. Satish Shah GG established a comprehensive facility for the testing of gem stones and imparting education about he Gemmological sciences. Starting in New Delhi, the institute began to shape formal Gemmology by training inquisitive minds in every facet of Gem & Jewellery identification and making to produce professionals of an avant garde cadre.
The course is adminnistered with a curriculum that imbibes the ore subjects with modukles on soft skills appended to produce a well–rounded professional. Students have the opportunity to interact with tutors, get hands–on training and are offered an opportunity to present their learnings to the class. The Decaan Institute of Gem & Jewellery has trained hundreds of students from India and countries such as the USA, UK, Mexico as well as from a few African and Middle Eastern nations.

About Gemology
Gemology as a science was unknown to India in 1950's when Late Mr. Govinddas Mukandas, the jeweler to the erstwhile Nizam the Ruler of Deccan, initiated study of gems & jewellery in scientific way. He successfully used his vast knowledge in the gem deposits of Golconda area of India. His knowledge about the occurrence, formation, cutting and mining there along with his experience in gems like Ruby, Sapphire mines acted as solid base. He then incorporated the optical physical, chemical properties of the stones and laid the foundation for gemology in 1970's. Further his son Satish Shah (GG) established a full fledged Gemological Institute & Gem testing lab for the Government of India undertaking in New Delhi and gave shape to formal Gemology and started training the inquisitive minds in every facet of Gem & Jewellery identification and making.
Later Gemology took its roots in Hyderabadas a Gem Testing Lab. Gemology classes were given and finally Deccan Institute of Gem & Jewellery was born. Deccan Institute with its lab & grading facilities, equipped with state of the art technologies, offers new opportunities to the jewelers. Its continuous research activities translated into the course. This program equip the students with the ability to identify, appraise, buy and sell gem & jewellery, which is very essential at a time when the market is flooded with misleading and sophisticated gem stimulants and various enhancement processes.

DONALD TRUMP RELEASES AD Refuting Trump University Smears (VIDEO)
The now defunct Trump University is the subject of fraud allegations from several former students.
On Thursday night Megyn Kelly pressed Donald Trump on a pending court case concerning Trump University.
Kelly pulled a quote from a previous opinion that lists Donald Trump as a "con artist."
Kelly also told Donald Trump his rating from the Better Business Bureau was a D-.
The Better Business Bureau faxed Trump's "A" rating to FOX News during the debate.
Trump handed it to the FOX panel.
Via News Ninja:
Megyn Kelly ignored the fax from the Better Business Bureau during the final minutes of the debate.
She kept this information from the American public.
It didn't fit her anti-Trump agenda.
Megyn Kelly admitted after the debate– She was handed the fax at the debate but never corrected her inaccurate statements.
Then she doubled down on the lie in a later segment despite having the document in her hand.
Now this…
Our Principles PAC, a super PAC run by former Romney adviser Katie Packer, is running television ads – both nationally and in the targeted states of Florida, Illinois and Michigan – exposing the Trump University story.
Today, the Trump Campaign released a video explaining the lawsuits filed against Trump University.

Meet the team here at CALAIS Winery
Benjamin Calais – Owner and Winemaker
As a Frenchman with nearly a decade under his belt in Texas, Benjamin offers a refreshing approach to winemaking. Born and raised in the old world – Calais, France – he undertakes each vintage with resolve: because he insists on using only superior grapes, he limits his production in order to avoid sacrificing quality. This practice makes him a standout in the industry. He's that serious about making great wine.
With an educational background in information technology, Benjamin moved from Paris to Dallas in 2007 to work as an engineer specializing in computer security software. What began as a hobby – winemaking – quickly took center stage. In 2008 Calais Winery opened in Dallas' Deep Ellum, a neighborhood known for its restaurants, gastro pubs, arts and entertainment.
Benjamin quickly made a name for himself in the Texas Wine scene over the next several years. At that point, the desire to live and establish a presence in the quaint community of Hye, TX led him to purchase land and move the winery to the Texas Hill Country. Doors opened in May of 2015 and the decision has proven successful.
As an ardent advocate for production of wines in Texas from 100% Texas grapes, Benjamin participates in various associations dedicated to this cause. His reputation as a collaborator and partner among local wineries along with his vision for promoting Real Texas Wine make him a respected member in the Texas Hill Country winemaking scene.
Sheri Pattillo – Sales and Marketing
A sixth-generation Texan, Sheri brings a welcoming smile to the tasting room and business-sense to the operations. She joined the team at Calais in March 2016 to assist in every facet of the work. Her dual business and wine background give her a unique perspective in the industry.
Sheri enjoys teaching wine classes and discussing all aspects of wine from the vineyard to the glass. In addition to her MBA she holds the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Diploma as well as being a Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers and a Certified Specialist of Wine with the Society of Wine Educators.
Adrienne Ballou – Assistant Winemaker
Adrienne grew up in Austin, Texas and eventually left her pursuit of a Chemistry degree at the University of Texas to do her first harvest in Walla Walla, Washington. After falling in love with wine in Washington, Adrienne completed her B.S in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis and headed to Burgundy to stage at Domaine Antonin Guyon under a fellowship from the Chevaliers du Tastevin.
Once she returned from France, Adrienne found a new home in beer at Jester King Brewery where she brewed and ran the barrel and fruit re-fermentation program for three years. After her time at Jester King, she made the decision to return to her true passion and headed to Australia for another wine harvest in Orange, NSW.
Upon returning to Texas, Adrienne immediately began work with Lewis Wines where she was the assistant winemaker for two years. Adrienne transitioned to Calais winery in the Spring of 2018 where she is currently the assistant winemaker.
Maverick Calais – Winery Dog
Part Labrador and part Border Collie, Maverick's energy permeates the entire property. He enjoys playing fetch and eating the breadcrumbs that fall from the tasting bar. Astute and obedient, Maverick elicits smiles and attention when he happens to be in the winery.
