The phone rang behind the counter in Beaufort's McIntosh Book Shoppe on Saturday morning, not for the first time.
"What are we doing on the Santinis?" Miles Murdaugh asked store owner Wilson McIntosh. Beaufort Bookstore, the shop across town McIntosh also owns, needed to know.
"Tell her don't sell them all," McIntosh replied quietly.
McIntosh had cried Saturday morning when he read the news of friend and author Pat Conroy's death Friday of pancreatic cancer.
Conroy was a friend of independent booksellers and fellow authors, McIntosh said. In addition to book signings in his stores following new releases, Conroy would sign an additional 500 to 1,000 copies to sell in the store.

Conroy connected with each customer at a signing. McIntosh liked to sit and listen as people — many school teachers — told Conroy how his words affected them.
Stacks of Conroy paperbacks cover a folding table in McIntosh Book Shoppe, the Bay Street store McIntosh has operated since 1994. Signed copies of "The Death of Santini" and "Prince of Tides" spilled from cardboard boxes behind the counter.
"I hate to sell any of them now, because I can't replace them," McIntosh said.
I hate to sell any of them now, because I can't replace them.
Beaufort bookseller Wilson McIntosh, on his signed Pat Conroy novels
At Nevermore Books, owner Lorrie Anderson protected some signed Conroy books on a small shelf behind her desk. This past October, a month after the quirky store on Carteret Street opened, Conroy strolled through signing all the copies of his books and books for which he had written forewords.
People began calling McIntosh on Saturday morning with requests. A woman asked for a signed first edition of "The Great Santini," learned she couldn't afford the book and settled for a regular copy.
Murdaugh brushed the weathered cover of the first edition, noting its missing dust jacket.
McIntosh and store employees didn't know the exact inventory of their signed books, so they were cautious. At Beaufort Bookstore on Saturday afternoon, clerk Beth Gravatt took down names of those requesting signed copies of Conroy's more popular books.
Every several weeks, Conroy would sit in the store for four hours at a time signing a mountain of his books for the store's inventory, Gravatt said. But the author had not been by in a while.
"To just open the doors and let them all go out of panic just doesn't seem right," Gravatt said. She was relieved when a woman pushed a stack of cardboard children's books onto the counter.
Okatie resident Debbie Pinckney bought an unsigned "The Water is Wide" paperback to replace a signed copy she loaned someone and never got back.
Pinckney remembers arriving to Bay Street late for a book signing when "Prince of Tides" was released in 1986. She left her car on the curb and saw Conroy behind the store's closed doors.
"If they'll sell it to you, I'll sign it," Pinckney remembers Conroy telling her.
A customer waiting outside McIntosh Book Shoppe before the store opened Saturday told Murdaugh of a chance encounter with Conroy outside the store six years earlier. The brief meeting led the person to choose a career in teaching.
McIntosh, who will turn 68 at the end of March, was a freshman at The Citadel when Conroy was a senior.
The freshman was often in trouble, McIntosh said, and instead of confinements was allowed to watch Conroy andThe Citadel's basketball team.

McIntosh's favorite Conroy book is "The Water is Wide," which details Conroy's time as a teacher on Daufuskie Island. Kathleen McTeer, youth services manager at Beaufort County Library in downtown Beaufort, said the book drove her method of interacting with students during 15 years as a school librarian.
The book's depiction of the Lowcountry entranced McIntosh. Conroy captured scenes like no one else can, he said.
The bookseller's treasured possession is a first edition of "The Boo," Conroy's first book. Conroy signed the book to McIntosh, "who wears the ring."
The Citadel graduate, class of 1967, offered a nod to McIntosh's class of 1970.
On Saturday, McIntosh wore a red Citadel cap and a camouflage jacket over his plaid shirt. He pulled at each end of a small piece of paper pulled from the pocket of his khaki pants while he talked.
He swiped through his email on a black iPhone until finding a photo of his last meeting with Conroy, at a Hilton Head Island book signing with author Ellen Malphrus this past December.

McIntosh remembered Conroy as easy to be around, always ready with a dig from his wicked sense of humor. Conroy sometimes invited McIntosh to his weekly gatherings at Griffin Market on Carteret Street.
The author was generous with his time, McIntosh said. Whenever Conroy learned of a restaurant customer too shy or polite to introduce themselves, Conroy invited them over to chat.
"People come to this store from all over the world," McIntosh said. "And they all know Pat Conroy."

Topic(s):14 - Nuclear Physics
The dissipation of energy deposited in a target nucleus by various projectiles, in particular protons and antiprotons, will be studied in the framework of the intranuclear cascade model. The strange particle production and the distribution of the eventually thermalised residual nuclei over mass and charge numbers, excitation energy, linear and angular momentum will be evaluated. For the subsequent fission dynamics of heavy residues and light particle evaporation Langevin dynamics will be used with an initial distribution of the dynamical parameters obtained from the cascade calculation.
The model will yield the velocity distribution of all emitted particles and light fragments in coincidence with fission fragments. From comparison with corresponding experimental information the thermodynamic and transport properties of hot nuclei shall be inferred.
Additional information on the time scale of fission will be derived from calculating the Lambda attachment probabilities to the fission fragments of hyperonic fission events.

This is not a drill. If you grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, you definitely remember watching Rebelde —or at least jamming out to a song or two from the Mexican telenovela's eponymous band. The Spanish show recently made its debut on Netflix, and now, despite being off the air for nearly a decade, there are rumors that the series is coming back with the original cast.
"RBD returns with a new season and the surprise is they will be the same protagonists," Mexican media company Televisas Espectáculos tweeted last month. "We look forward to the new broadcast." As expected, fans (including myself), could not contain their excitement on social media.
RBD regresa con una nueva temporada y la sorpresa es que ¡Serán los mismos protagonistas! Esperamos con ansias la nueva emisión.

"I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE RUMOR ABOUT REBELDE IS TRUE IMMA DIE," one loyal viewer wrote before another added, "Listen, they better not be playing with our emotions with this rumor that Rebelde might be coming back for another season AND with the original cast. My inner teenage self is already too excited lmao." Same, girl, same.
If you're a
newcomer, don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to binge all 440 episodes and fall in love with RBD members

Translated, "rebelde" means rebel in English — and it's not hard to see why the telenovela had that title. From the student's dress code to their bright hair to the over-the-top drama, there was nothing "average" about this group of teens.

The show takes place at a private school in Mexico City called Elite Way School. The six main characters, Mía, Roberta, Miguel, Diego, Lupita, and Giovanni, quickly joined forces and formed a pop band despite their very different ways of life. The best part is the characters were also in a music group IRL too —and performed all the music (including the catchy theme song) themselves. It wasn't long before the group has fans worldwide.

A three-month grand-jury investigation into the Arizona Department of Corrections' handling of the nation's longest prison hostage standoff is not likely to bring any criminal indictments, reports the Arizona Republic. Special County Prosecutor Mel McDonald asked a judge to make his report public so that "lessons can be learned" that could improve prison safety in the future. "The Grand Jury learned the harrowing truth, and it has seen just how easily the crisis could have ended in tragic bloodshed," McDonald said.
Republican legislators have been awaiting the report. The state Senate has delayed the confirmation of Corrections Director Dora Schriro until senators have read it. The hostage standoff unfolded Jan. 18 when two inmates took control of a prison guard tower and held two corrections officers hostage. The aftermath has evolved into a political drama, with opposing sides pointing fingers.

[WATCH] Jeep Escapes Tow Truck in Viral Video
Let's be honest: nobody likes tow trucks. Finding out your car has been towed—even if you parked like a total toolbag—can ruin your entire day and take a good chunk of change out of your wallet. At best, tow trucks are a necessary evil (kind of like traffic cops) that keep our roads operating properly.
Still, it's hard not to cheer for the Jeep driver in the viral video below, even though he probably illegally parked at the Walgreens from which he was towed.
In this video, you can see that the tow truck has hooked up the Jeep (though not very well) and towed it a few blocks before stopping. At no point does it seem that the tow truck driver has noticed that there is a driver still inside the Jeep, hollering for the tow truck to stop. When the tow truck comes to a halt, the Jeep driver seizes the opportunity to floor it and, miraculously, the SUV comes unhitched from the tow truck and speeds off down the road.
Nobody is certain how the driver of the Jeep managed to pull this off, nor how the tow truck driver hooked up the Jeep without noticing that it was occupied. The only thing we know for certain is this: if you're parked in a Walgreens somewhere in Chicago, you should fear for your life; the towers are coming for you.

How a Healthy Heart Works
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist, whose job is to pump blood throughout the entire body. The heart has two sides, right and left, each with two chambers: an upper chamber (atrium) and a lower chamber (ventricle). These four chambers work together in a constant cycle to circulate blood in order to keep the body functioning:
- The right atrium receives oxygen-depleted blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle.
- The right ventricle then sends the oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs to absorb more oxygen.
- The left atrium brings oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left ventricle.
- The left ventricle then sends the oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body through the largest blood vessel in the body, the aorta.
- The circulated blood eventually returns to the right atrium and the cycle continues.
This video describes the normal function of a healthy heart. Continue to the next page to learn about Congestive Heart Failure.

Final Fantasy XV Uncovered
Let me set the tone of the Final Fantasy XV Uncovered night before we get started here,
The event took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood, California, thousands of people in attendance, cosplayers in abundance, fans of the Final Fantasy series old and new, all packed into the one place they could get first hand information on the long awaited Final Fantasy XV. Even from my seriously uncomfortable chair, staring through the computer screen at Square-Enix's twitch channel, I could feel the energy emanating from this place.
If you are anything like myself, you would have jumped at the fact that this event would probably involve many Japanese cultural references and maybe tentacles (or not). At the end of the day you are either a loyal FF fan who has been waiting ages for this game, and believe me Square knows we've been waiting, or you are just a fan of games in general and this night was still exciting.
Greg Miller (@GameOverGreggy) and Tim Gettys (@KindaFunnyVids) played host this night and helped us uncover 14 very interesting and fun tidbits about this up and coming release. We'll go through them in order (the first two show up before they do).
1st – Hironobu Sakaguchi – the Father of Final Fantasy
Even before Greg and Tim hit the stage we were greeted with Hironobu. If you are a Final Fantasy enthusiast, you know that this man was an important part of your childhood. Without him, we would have never been exposed to Final Fantasy, we might be missing important life lessons we learned through his directing and story telling, or we might have just gone on with life as we know it and learned those lessons elsewhere. I prefer to think he was necessary. He graced us with a speech translated through large viewing screens behind him and discussed his love for the series he created, and like any father, he told us he was worried about the direction his dear child was headed. Through his interaction with the audience we learned that after long discussions he was happy to hear that his child was once again entering an era much like when it was born, an era that sought new challenges and introduced the player to new and interesting worlds. He then took his seat with the audience so he could enjoy the show.
2nd – A new trailer!
As Hironobu exited the stage we were graced with a new trailer that started with the familiarly epic score that each and every game is accompanied by, beautiful visuals and new gameplay that we haven't seen to date. Near the mid point of the trailer we see our new hero Noctis get scooped up by a large giant, who almost looks to be ripped right from the pages of Attack on Titan, and slammed into the ground. After this the typical music dies and in comes a soulful rendition of 'Stand by Me' done by none other than Florence + the Machine. While this mesmerizing version plays in the background, we see scenes of Noctis and his group of friends on a journey, much like any other road trip a group of friends would embark on only this one includes plenty of sword play and fending off monsters. The trailer ends and we are introduced to Tim and Greg.
Tim is an FF fan boy, Greg is a lover of video games, never played an FF. These two make the whole show very entertaining and they constantly crack wise about the long wait, making comments about 10 year waits, even though the FF 13 universe appeared in '09. The first thing they get to show to us in their segment is this…
3rd – The Art of FFXV!
Many of us are aware of the art style in this franchise and this time, they decided to do something a little different. First we were shown a typical 2D drawing and then we were shown the same drawing in a 3D render, both are breathtaking and I'll just show you instead of boring you with the details.
Our 4th little bit of FFXV uncover was actually Florence + the Machine doing 'Stand by Me', so go watch the trailer on the 2nd uncover if you haven't already, ok?
5th! – We get game play footage!
So we get plenty of gameplay footage! Seriously! This is good stuff and fun to boot! Can you say Final Fantasy: Chocobo Drift? Yeah, turn a corner too tight on your favorite winged bird and it compensates with a drift like slide, its pretty cool. Monster battles? If a monster feels like it can't win against you, it can run as well! Also magic effects are more prominent. Are you using blizzard? You'll see your enemy covered in a layer of ice, it all looks so nice.
6th – The World (its beautiful)
Less chatty, more showy? Yeah, look below.
There was so much more but it wouldn't be fun to spoil it all right?
7th – Final Fantasy XV: Brotherhood
Remember that thing about Japanese cultural references and tentacles? Well, they gave us anime! A 5 episode anime to be exact, about our 4 heroes and what they're about (no tentacles though, sorry ladies). Episode 1 is already available on YouTube.
Left to right: Ignis, Noctis, Prompto, Gladio
8th/10th – FFXV: Kingsglaive – Feature length movie (voice acting)
You might be wondering why I included 8 & 10, they go hand in hand as 8 is the movie and 10 is the voice acting. This is the first feature length CGI FF movie we have seen since Advent Children in '05. That's over 10 years ago, this is seriously a big deal. The video we saw looked amazing, stunning even, the likes of what most of us have never seen. What really sets this apart though, is the voice acting, below we have two pictures, below that we will have names, big names, I'm not kidding.
Above we have our first hero, Nyx, the protector of the King and the kingdom's crystal, voiced by non-other than Aaron Paul himself (the crystal grower). Next we have King Regis, voice by Sean Bean, otherwise known as Ned Stark, or that guy that dies in EVERYTHING. Seriously, King Regis, your fate is sealed. Lastly, Luna, voiced by Lena Headey, Cersei Lanister, Sarah Connor, Queen Gorgo of 300, need I say more? This movie will take place while Noctis and his troupe are out of the capital and on their adventure, but not much more is known.
9th – Audi R8 (only one in existence)
This Audi R8 was created for the movie only, a CGI product of beauty. Check it out.
11th – Justice Monster Five
For anyone who might be familiar with other mini-games in the Final Fantasy series this is nothing new. Justice Monsters five is a game like any other other FF mini-game, only this time it appears on iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. Preregistering for this game is already available online at the Square-Enix.com website, it currently isn't available for Download yet. Not much footage was shown on this but it looks to be like a monsters and pinball type game, it also shows up in the FFXV game as our heroes are shown to play a few rounds.
12th – Platinum Demo
Close to the end of the presentation, Tim and Greg announce Mat Kishimoto of Square-Enix America. He has big news for us. It's a new demo, only this demo is more like our long lost friend P.T. It takes place in the same universe, with what would be familiar characters but the story held within the demo is never going to be a part of the final FFXV product. It is it's own self contained story, where you play as a young Noctis travelling through a dream sequence that resembles some kind of Alice in Wonderland shenanigans. I'm not kidding here, you are often a tiny young Noctis driving toy cars and adventuring around an oversized world. They didn't give us much to go off of for gameplay because well, the Demo is available right now and you should proably go download it right now to experience it yourself. I will mention that you do have a companion. This companion is a fox like friend known as Carbuncle, referred to as an Astral (Eidolon or Summons were common terms in previous FF games), this companion is available for the main FFXV game once you have completed it. The best part of this is that it's completely free.
13th – Multiple Game Editions!
Probably one of the most unsurprising announcements is multiples game editions, Square-Enix is pretty well known for this and as per usual, one of these editions is exclusive to the Square-Enix online store. By the time I've finished this post I can 100% guarantee the Ultimate Edition will have been sold out. The Deluxe edition however you will be able to get your hands on at your local gamestop, EB, Bestbuy, or wherever you like to pick up your games. The details are below and some of the inclusions are pretty fun. I especially like the Kingsglaive Blu-ray that comes with both options. The Ultimate though, gets the anime FFXV: Brotherhood, Kingsglaive, FFXV, a soundtrack that covers the three previously mentioned items, DLC content and a Noctis figure. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on an Ultimate edition it would have cost you $200+, the Deluxe is a much more reasonable price around $90.
Our final stop on this long, arduous journey, is the one thing we've all been asking for years. When the hell is this coming out? When can I get my hands on this? Well friends, your answer is below as well as #14 on the list…

Metalman Brewing from Waterford, born of a desire to see more beer produced by independent brewers in Ireland and is the brain-child of a couple of beer enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of availability and choice of flavoursome, authentically Irish beer. Inspired by some of the other small Irish brewers, they eventually decided to try and help do something about it.
Business plans were written, torn up, and written again. Locations were scouted, breweries were visited, and – of course – various different beers were sampled to ensure they were researching the correct product portfolio! Gráinne called time on her I.T. career in Jan 2011 to focus full-time on establishing the brewery, while Tim did the honourable thing and stayed put at the day-job to pay the bills.
The first beer, Metalman Pale Ale, was brewed under contract at the White Gypsy Brewery in Templemore, and launched in March 2011 to a great reception. The Waterford brewery was commissioned at the Tycor Business Centre (eventually) and production was moved across in May 2012. Tim finally gave in and jumped ship from the rat-race in April 2013 to don his wellies full-time.
By the end of 2014, the workforce had grown and Metalman Brewing made the big decision to install a canning line in the Tycor Brewery. 2015 saw Metalman Brewing become the first microbrewery in Ireland to package its beer in cans, on-site in Waterford. To date, a number of different beers have been packaged in 330ml cans, with plans to release more in the pipeline. It was also the year in which the brewhouse upscaled to enable bigger batches of new and exciting beers to be brewed. Now, the Metalman team will continue to grow to ensure only the best is going out to their customers.

If you're a cat lover and have a small home, it's a challenge to stylishly decorate and keep it cat-friendly, as well.
Cats are typically lively little creatures and will play with anything that's not nailed down. Fragile accessories and easily scratched surfaces are probably not the way to go.
You already know that living in an apartment or small home can be boring for your furry kiddo. Cats are perfect pets for small spaces partly because they're often snuggly and contented housemates and because they are pretty low maintenance…you don't need to walk them every day!
But they do need a certain level of activity to keep them healthy and active. This new story on Apartment Therapy is all about making your small apartment more fun for your cat!
I love this photo of my daughter's cat, Eva, watching a squirrel nibble on pumpkin seeds. She was mesmerized!
Sitting in front of a glass door or lounging on a window sill or cat shelf are just a few ways to make sure your cat is entertained. It's what I like to call "crittervision"!
I just know you'll get a big kick out of this excellent article on 25 Awesome Furniture Design Ideas for Cat Lovers.
A bonus is that many of these suggestions can be DIY friendly.
My favorites are the All-In-One Cat Bathroom…
They're both functional AND stylish!
Here are a few tips that are especially useful.
- Make sure your cat has plenty of toys. They're easily bored and that can prove to be trouble! Keep the toys in a low basket to make it easy for your kitty to choose his favorite.
- Use throw rugs and slipcovers. There are some beautiful but inexpensive rugs (slip-proof) and slipcovers available. Easy to wash or to shake out the cat hair. My daughter purchased inexpensive white (yes, white) bedspreads from Ikea to use on her furniture. They're really lovely.
- Use candles with caution…better, yet, don't use real candles, at all! I've learned to love the battery-powered pillar candles. They are so realistic looking, these days, and if you forget to switch them off the house will not go up in flames!
- Secure accessories with Collectors Hold Museum Putty. It's removable and non-toxic and the review are excellent.
If you can, choose furniture with exposed legs, rather than skirts…pet hair and dust can gather underneath furniture with skirts making it hard to clean.
If you can't use a slipcover and you can't teach your kitty to stay off the furniture, place a throw across the seat…it'll give your cat a cozy place to perch and will be easier to clean.
Use a semi-gloss paint on the walls to make removing paw prints or cat hair (that stuff can be like a magnet to a wall!).
Try to place a piece of furniture under a window (without having delicate accessories on top) so your furry friend has a place to perch and watch what's happening outside. Or purchase a pet shelf like this one that's designed for that purpose.
If possible, brush your cat on a fairly regular basis because that will keep the hair to a minimum. And once they get used to it, cats do like being groomed.
From time to time, I'll update this post when I come across other good ideas for creating attractive, functional and cat-friendly small space decor ideas.
UPDATE: Want 10 Ideas for Disguising or Hiding a Litter Box?
They're here in this post from Apartment Therapy. My two favorites are the 2nd and 4th ideas (pictured is #4)…what's your favorite?
If you have found a particularly successful solution to any of these dilemmas, let me know…post photos and tell us how you solved a problem!

Kate Osamor (Edmonton) (Lab/Co-op): It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Edward. This is the first time I have responded from the Front Bench and I am very grateful for the opportunity to do so.
2 Feb 2016 : Column 370WH
I, too, pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Dewsbury (Paula Sherriff) for securing the debate and for her eloquent and insightful comments. I also thank everyone from all parts of the House—the right hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mrs Miller), the hon. Members for Maidstone and The Weald (Mrs Grant), for South Down (Ms Ritchie) and for Lanark and Hamilton East (Angela Crawley), my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing Central and Acton (Dr Huq) and the hon. Member for Falkirk (John Mc Nally) —who have all contributed to the debate. This is an important, principled debate, and it should not be a party political issue. I congratulate The Times journalists on reporting on this issue and bringing it to the forefront of public and mainstream media attention. Their calculation that gendered products marketed at women are 37% more expensive than their male counterparts reflects a wider reality of how women are expected to engage with the high street.
Women are expected to spend more on their personal hygiene, appearance and presentation than men, which is often reflected in advertising and the everyday pressures that we put on women from a young age to look and dress in a certain way. The overcharging of women for products on the high street is symptomatic of the way in which, more broadly, our economy makes women pay. Women are hit the hardest by austerity, and tampons are taxed as luxury goods.
Our domestic violence rescue services have suffered enormously over the past five years. Ironically, funds were only injected in the spending review through the tampon tax. Like grievances against the tampon tax, this debate is grounded in a principled belief that people should not pay more for products that, beyond the packaging, are identical. High street retailers should not exploit female-marked products in that way. To borrow the title of an article in The Guardian on this issue, women are overcharged every day. Imagine if that happened to men.
I applaud the work of campaigns such as "Let Toys Be Toys" that fight against unnecessarily gendered products. Gendered products on the high street are not only harmful to women in terms of pricing but often impose unnecessary gender stereotypes on to products. The Government must ensure that there is independent analysis to identify the extent of unfair gender pricing and marketing practices in the UK. The full impact of gender differentials in pricing on women must be qualified. I call upon the Government also to look at the United States and the action taken in New York and California to see what more can be done to eliminate unfair practices. Legislation has been passed in those two states to outlaw gendered pricing. An encouraging statement was released by Boots today saying that, following a Change.org petition, it has conducted a review and will be taking immediate action to amend the pricing of certain products.
I finish by expressing support for those who have campaigned on this issue, and I would welcome a meeting on this issue with the Minister and leading retailers in Parliament.

Local mini-conference on top ic of (un)employment of youth up to 30 years old took place in Prague, 23rd October, in European House premises. With a core topic of (un)employment of youth, the mini-conference gathered around project NoNEETs outputs, enabled fruitful inspiration, discussion and possibility to speak to several groups of people – labour office personnel, education/training agencies, non-profit organizations, career coaches, teachers, work agencies and press.
Starting with Manpower´s introduction into the profiles and specifics of neets (youth neither in employment, education or training), Michal Stefan from Czech DEX presented main outputs, inspirations and further potentials of NoNEETs project (https://noneets.eu).
Other angles at the same problem and their experiences were presented also by heads from Labour offices and Career coaching division of government education institute. The mini-conference was closed by interesting angle discussion on education as one of the very important factors influencing (un)employment.
Outputs of the NoNEETs project are available publicly to all other organizations willing to adopt and adjust piloted training programmes for unemployed neets in their own activities. All information can be accessed here: https://noneets.eu

Arsenal join the race for England and Premier League star
Arsenal will battle it out with Chelsea and Spurs to sign Ross Barkley, according to the Mirror.
Barkley has just over a year left on his deal and Ronald Koeman claimed that if he did not sign a new deal then he would be sold.
The 22-year-old has been at Everton for his entire career but could be set to move on this summer.
With the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all being linked with moves away lately, Barkley could be one of the many players that are likely to come into the club this summer.
Barkley has perhaps not fulfilled his potential at Everton, and it would probably be a costly transfer, despite not long to go on his contract. It would be a risky move, but one that if it worked out could be a great move for Arsenal.
Barkley would not be at the top of my list of players to sign, but if it is at the right price, he could be a good player for Arsenal.

It's good for the heart to put some effort into seeing the world from different angles.
Posted in , May 18, 2016
My son Stephen and I went sailing on the Hudson River this weekend. I've gone on the Staten Island Ferry and in water taxis, with guests on the Circle Line. Yet in 30 years here, I'd never been sailing before. Somehow the Island of Manhattan's waterways have always seemed defined by the city, rather than the other way around.
Until you are out in the middle of the Hudson, that is. There the city looks different. The world smells different. Even the air feels different. Looking at familiar parks and buildings from the water is like peering into my life through the eyes of others. The places I know best aren't all that obvious. And the landmarks that appear most prominent are relatively insignificant in my daily life.

I find it's good for my heart to put some effort into seeing the world from different angles. Mostly I do this on the subway or on line at the grocery (for in case you didn't know, New Yorkers stand "on line," not in one). It makes me more human to let my mind wander and wonder what others' lives are like. Did she just get a raise? What was his father like when he was a child? What did she fight about with her spouse last week? Why is that man weary? Who did the young man vote for in the primary, and why?
I'm far more likely to guess wrong than right, of course. It doesn't matter, for half the point of the exercise is to remind me that I don't really know anything about this other person. So if that large man steps on my toe it may be because he's thoughtless... or because his child is dying of cancer. I can't leap to conclusions. I have to stay open to the possibility that what I see is a function of where I am and who I am.
God asks me to respond to others, rather than react to them. That takes a different perspective, as different to me as seeing Manhattan from the Hudson.

Water Cycle Activity Quiz
It is advisable to watch our Water Cycle, Reason for Rains & Dew video
Water Cycle :Definition,Facts,Quiz,Questions ,Test
What is Water Cycle?
Do you know the fresh water which you drink is not fresh? It has been earlier used in one or other way somewhere in the universe. If you keep a glass of water in sunlight, you would feel some of it disappears, do you know what happens to this water. When we wash clothes & keep them to dry, all the water content goes away in the air. Then this water comes back again to earth by rains. It may fall on ground or in a river or over the sea. But you see ,all water keeps moving in a cycle from pond to air & then again back as rain , that is why it is called water –cycle.
Here are 5 different processes in a water cycle.
1.Evaporation -
When a liquid, in this case water, changes from its liquid state to a gaseous state due to some heat factors is called Evaporation. Our clothes get dried up due to this process.
2.Condensation –
It is the opposite of evaporation. Condensation occurs when a gas is changed into a liquid. This happens when heat is lost. Do you know Dew drops are formed due to this process? When water vapors in the air touch the grass, which has become cold due to low night temperature, the water vapors become liquid. So we see water drops on the grass in the morning.
3.Infiltration –
It is process where rain water gets infiltrated (soaked) into the ground. Due to this, we get ground water for drinking & irrigation of crops
4.Precipitation –
Rain happens due to this process. When atmospheric pressure is appropriate & temperature in higher skies becomes low, small water vapours join together to form big droplets. These big droplets can't bear their own weight & start falling as rain-drops.
5.Transpiration -
The plants absorb water from the soil through their roots, it passes from stem & reaches the leaves. Some of this water is lost by leaves due to heat of the atmosphere. This is also a kind of evaporation, but here water from plants is evaporated into the air.


text: How do you protect yourself against this? Well, when taking Deca Durabolin you can also take ant-estrogen medications to counter the results. Things like Nolvadex and Arimidex are popular choices. Both approach limiting the effects of estrogen different and will have different side effects on your health worth considering. Even with side effects though it is still worth pursuing either of these options. Gynecomastia is a particularly big problem due to how the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone is what leads to gynecomastia. So, by keeping your hormone levels regulated, you reduce the risk of potential unwanted growth.

This past Sunday I taught a class at Tante Marie's called "Cooking for the Family". It was a day of hands on cooking, making recipes for weeknight dinners to please all kinds of palates. I was thrilled to see a handful of my past students returning for the class. One woman particulary stood out.
Jessie has taken many of my classes. A relative newlywed, I helped her with her wedding registry, knocking off those worthless kitchen gadgets and picking great cookware and knives. She works full time but makes time to cook when ever she can. With the summer off, she was cooking three course meals for she and her husband and I could see her face fill with pride when she talked about them.
Like most of us, Jessie saw Julie and Julia. As I've mentioned, I liked the movie. I found it not only entertaining but motivating. Jessie told me she left the theater completely inspired to cook. She is too young to have witnessed the original Julia revolution but she connected with Julie in her love for the recipes and the craft. She told me she wants to cook all the time now.
Many critics poked holes in the film, finding Julie a bit annoying or saying Julia would never have watched such a thing. Personally, I'm all about getting people into the kitchen. If it takes a movie to get Julie Powell and Julia Child to inspire Jessie and people like her, I'm all for it.

Reviewer: Harriet Klausner
Carsten Stroud
Simon & Schuster, Jun 2004, $24.95, 432 pp.
While the United Nations is struggling with a peacekeeping mission in the Philippines, al-Qaeda plans on a spectacular bombing to disrupt the efforts. US Senator Drew Langan receives classified information that highlights the al-Qaeda plot, but he sets it aside as he has no involvement in what is going on and there are capable people working the anti-terrorism circuit. However, the overseas scenario comes home to roost when someone tries to kill Drew.
Meanwhile Drew's estranged son, CIA operative Cole is working an assignment near Iligan City, the sight of the al-Qaeda endeavor. He knows that with the United Nations involved,, what could go wrong will and he could be a collateral damage statistic even if he does everything right; catching malaria would be a benefit. An ocean and continent apart, the two Langans fight to survive the war on terrorism.
COBRAVILLE is an exhilarating international thriller that contrasts the war on terrorism on two fronts, state-side vs. jungle warfare. The story line deftly switches back and forth between the two Langdons as each in there own way struggles to survive. Whether the fight is a jungle military operation or typical DC political bunko-bunko, fans receive an often humorous, but always insightful and keen look at a world gone amuck and gory. It is so believable fans will conclude that Carsten Stroud could make Senator Kennedy and the French believe that he knows where the WMD are hidden without bushwhacking anyone's reputation.

Kressley's infectious creative personality was a great source for our collaboration
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) December 01, 2015
Oliver Gal is excited to announce a new collaboration with Emmy-winning television star, celebrity stylist, author and fashion designer, Carson Kressley. The exclusive capsule collection will be unveiled on Dec 4th, in a special event at the Oliver Gal Pop Up shop in Miami, hosted by Carson himself and Oliver Gal founders Lola Sanchez and Ana Sanchez-Gal.
The new and exclusive line of art showcases pieces inspired by Carson's favorite imagery, combining his love for bold colors, high fashion, whimsical commentary, and especially dogs and horses.

You may also recognize Kressley's energetic inspiring personality on OWN's show "Carson-Nation", Lifetime's critically acclaimed show "How To Look Good Naked" and Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" where he earned a primetime Emmy.
Kressley is a true trailblazer in the lifestyle category as he is a frequent style contributor on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" ABC's Good Morning America and many others. Kressley is also a New York Times best-selling author with three books to his credit. When Kressley is not starring on stage or screen, he can be found astride one of his American Saddlebred show horses. His love for his World Champion horses is very evident in the subjects used for the art in this exciting collection.
Lola Sanchez co-founder and Art Director of Oliver Gal Artist Co. said "Kressley's infectious creative personality was a great source for our collaboration. We are extremely proud of this new capsule collection and can't wait to share it with the world."

Five arrested after alleged meth lab bust in Roscommon County
ROSCOMMON COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Five people are arrested after an alleged meth lab bust in St. Helen.
Dominic Crawford, 24, Krista Smith, 26, Beth Nasser, 34, Travis Spragg, 29 and Joshua Fowler, 40, were arrested after a three-month investigation by Richfield Township Public Safety and the Strike Team Investigative Narcotics Group.
A search warrant was issued for a residence in St. Helen in December 2017, in which agents located and seized evidence of meth manufacturing.
Six people have been identified but only five have been arrested at this time.
STING says the evidence was sent to the lab for analysis and reviewed by the Roscommon Prosecutor.
The five people are now charged with 48 counts of various charges including maintaining a methamphetamine lab, purchase pseudoephedrine to manufacture methamphetamine, maintain a drug house, maintaining a lab involving methamphetamine, and maintaining methamphetamine lab near a specified place.
The case is remaining open until the arrest of the sixth person that is involved.

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

A customer of mine shared this recipe from DeAnne Larrow, Wyoming Outfitter Camp & Chef. I can't imagine making this over a campfire. But, this is a wonderful way to make your ice cream stand out from the crowd.
- 1 ½ cups of frozen berries, mixed berries or frozen cherries work best
- 4 Tbsps. of dark brown sugar
- Grated nutmeg (use a whole nutmeg and grate it using a fine grater), just a dash
- 3 Tbsp. Vom Fass Calvados
- Defrost berries in a microwave for a few seconds.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the defrosted berries and remaining ingredients over medium heat until the sugar is melted.
- If the sauce begins to boil, turn down the heat. Stir frequently.
- Cook for about 5 minutes after the sugar has melted and serve warm over ice cream.

WASHINGTON — Gasoline prices will remain high for years to come and will be largely unaffected by the new White House plan to bring them down, Bush administration officials said Sunday.
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said the United States faces an oil price "crisis" because surging demand from such countries as China and India has outstripped supply.
"The suppliers have lost control of the market," Bodman told NBC's Meet the Press.
"Clearly, we're going to have a number of years -- two to three years -- before suppliers are in a position to meet ... demands," he said.
Josh Bolten, the White House chief of staff, acknowledged that President Bush's new program to deal with the price increases would have only a "relatively modest" effect on prices in the short term.
"This is a very large problem," he said on Fox News Sunday. "It's built up over many years -- decades, in fact. It's not going to be solved in the short run by some silver bullet. There are a lot of policies that need to be put in place over the long run to wean ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil."
The officials appeared on the Sunday talk shows after a week in which surging gas prices alarmed Americans and frightened political incumbents facing midterm congressional elections in six months.
With polls showing gas prices as the No. 1 concern of a plurality of Americans, Bush last week brought out a energy plan that calls for, among other steps, reducing the flow of oil into the national strategic reserve, easing regulations on fuel ingredients, and encouraging the production and purchase of hybrid vehicles.
But administration officials said the only real solution was a long-term effort to reduce dependence on foreign oil, which now represents about two-thirds of U.S. consumption.

Visit Canyon Junction
Canyon Junction is the fictional small town setting for the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight and the new spin off series — Canyon Junction: Hearts in Love Series. Here, you'll get a picture of the small town setting the way the author and characters see it. This page is a work in progress as time permits.
DISCLAIMER: Images portray book characters and fictional settings, and are not to be confused with the person or setting in the picture. It's all about fiction here.
The Coffee Shoppe
Tristan, Nora, and Destiny visit here for an interview the day they met in Cowboy Boss and his Destiny, #1. Holly from book #1 works here, and sometimes at the ice cream place, too. Holly makes her appearance at random in different books.
Family Favorite Ice Cream shop.
Jase and Brenna had a lot of fun right outside here on their first unofficial date in Heartbreak's Reward. Jake, his son Trace, and Beth visit here after the tree lighting at the town square in Whispers of Forever.
Sunset Grille
A local Mom and Pop restaurant on Main Street. If you get stopped at the light on Main Street and Library, it's easy to see who is sitting in the booths along the front windows. On any given day, you could see any one of our characters. Randy spots Roxanne there in Lassoing the Last Dance, which helps him to come to an important decision. There is also a rear entrance. Stay a while and have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with friends at the Sunset Grille. Hey, just stop in for coffee and pie. Deputy Steve Ellis, got some interesting news there about Jake Lawton in Whispers of Forever.
Town Square
For sure you'll find many of our residents at the annual tree lighting in December over at the Town Square. Judy Carlson will be there with her family.
Rob's Place
Rob Adams owns Rob's Place. He grew up in Canyon Junction and went to high school with some of our characters, and a few others who pop in. He worked as a bartender at a bar in Apache Junction, but finally bought his own bar outside of town. Rob makes his appearance in all the books. He's also an MC for parties and weddings, etc., and he has done this since high school.
Golden Nugget Bar & Restaurant
Looking for something a little more upscale than the Sunset Grille? This one comes with a real ghost story. In Heartbreak's Reward, Jase gave Brenna a homework assignment when he took her here. You'll find this fictitious restaurant–Golden Nugget Bar & Restaurant– out on U.S. 60 across from the larger grocery store in Canyon Junction.
Law Enforcement
Don't be too heavy on the accelerator while driving through this town. Sheriff Leon Thompson will give you a ticket. Ask Jase about this when he drove Brenna's speedy sports car down the 60. She still had Iowa plates on her car at the time. Hmm. Leon showed a soft side that surprised even me when I wrote Whispers of Forever, but he had to show his tough, professional side in Lassoing the Last Dance. In Finding Kimber, Leon came close to hauling Dane, Randy, Zach, and his brother, Tyler, off to jail. Then he threatened to make them deputies if they didn't stop interfering.
Local Newspaper – Canyon Junction Gazette
It isn't very thick but it has a lot to say.
The local library is used by all ages and sits near Library and Main Street.
United States Post Office
The post office sits out of town a few miles. I've had a post office box for a long time. I used to see the same guy checking his post office box while I checked mine. This happened quite often. My romantic writer's brain went into high gear. No, I never met him, but a hero and heroine from one of the books in this series met in this fictitious post office.
A Rancher's Life Magazine
Tristan Carlson's Ranching Magazine. He needed help. Nora needed a job. Win-Win for both of them.
The Majestic Superstition Mountains
The backdrop for the Double Dutch Ranch and Canyon Junction: Hearts in Love series.
Have you had enough yet? Aw, come on, you can't get enough of Canyon Junction! Come on back, but don't come too late because the sidewalks roll up early on some nights. Thanks for visiting!

Have a look on Ebay.
Is it possible to get a new replacement clip on these Beemer pants?
A swelling of the stomach had 'I assume' broke off the tab on the left side.

If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........
See if that works .....
I've just replaced that exact fastener on a pair of 3 Phase trousers. I bought this set of fasteners and the tool initially, as I robbed a replacement 'hook' from a pair of old HG trousers I've got - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRESS-STUD...72.m2749.l2649 I drilled out the old rivet, then used the tool to rivet the hook to the 3 Phase waistband. You can just as easily use a Phillips screwdriver instead of the punch.
I then found this kit, which has a complete set of hooks, bars and rivets, ready for the next breakage! - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think Prym also do the same kit complete with the punch tool.
A great find Pete and just ordered a set. I know that the original trousers came with a spare 12yrs ago but, it is now lost in my boxes and bags of accumulated junk one collects over the years.
I did look on eBay but, was not putting the correct wording to bring this set up.
Thanks again.

Facials by God
Sermon preached by Jeanne E. Gay
February 18, 2007
Exodus 34:29-35 Luke 9:28-36
A generation ago, the average American wouldn't have had a clue what a facial was. I can't imagine my Grandma from
But in the two Bible texts we've heard today, the changes in the appearance of the faces didn't come from anyone's concern about his skin. And the messages they sent came from God.
Let's look first at the Exodus story about Moses. Moses comes down from
And this face scared his brother Aaron and all the rest of the Israelites. And why were they scared? Not because it looked weird, not because they'd never seen someone with a face like that. No, they were scared because this shining face meant that Moses had been talking—face-to-face—with God. And that's a frightening thing.
And then there's our New Testament story—Jesus' transfiguration. A few days before this was when Jesus asked some of his disciples who the crowds said he was, and Peter answered, "The Messiah of God." And when he followed that up by telling them that he would "undergo great suffering … and be killed, and on the third day be raised." So this is what was in the minds of Peter and John and James when Jesus took them up on a mountain to pray.
And "while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white" (or in other translations, "his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning"). And of course Peter, good old impulsive Peter, jumps up to say that they ought to create three dwellings. Why? To commemorate the spot, I think, to build dwelling places to "hold" these three holy men.
But "a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, 'This is my Son, my
God's glory. That's what Moses' face reflected, too. And glory is scary.
Glory is utterly beyond the ordinary. Glory is holiness. Glory is sacred; it is the opposite of our everyday world, the opposite of what some scholars call the "profane" world. The profane world is the "real" world, the world that is full of rising gas prices and exploding racial tensions, of migraine headaches and the bondage of migrant workers, of parking spaces filled with ice and t.v. shows filled with sexual exploitation. The profane world is us without God. It's a world with no glory, no holiness. It's a world with no hope of something more.
For that's what glory is—it's what allows us to believe that there's something beyond this world, that there's a God who transcends life as we know it. Glory is more than the milk of human kindness. It's more than patience and love and generosity and all those wonderful things that humans can be and do. Glory is what we're looking for at a funeral when we want reassurance that our loved one continues, in God. Glory is what we get an inkling of on Christmas Eve when the lights go out and—oh!—God is just almost right there. Glory is what we see reflected in wild thunderstorms driving the clouds through the sky and crashing the earth with sharp lightning and booming thunder.
But we can't hang on to glory. We can't get a handle on it any more than we can a spear of lightning or a sense of the advent of God or a glimpse of heaven.
We can get a handle on the commandments and the things that Jesus taught. They may be difficult, but they're concrete. Feed my sheep. Care for the poor. Honor your mother and father. Love your neighbor. Take the beam out of your own eye before you go criticizing someone else for the mote in theirs. Keep the Sabbath. And following these teachings is terribly important.
But glory—holiness blazing with majesty—that's also terribly important. It's not something we can do. Rather it takes us beyond ourselves to a place where we have no control but where God rules. Glory is completely other—it's not about us, it's about God.
And of course, that's why it's scary. That's why the Israelites were afraid to come close to Moses when his face was shining. We don't always want to look at glory either. We like our lives and our worship to proceed "decently and in good order." We're sober and sensible people, and I'm not sure we want to be face to face with God any more than the Israelites did.
We do have ways, though, of dealing with God's glory, ways that make it easier to handle. We do what Peter thought of: we build dwellings for it; we build sanctuaries for it. We say to ourselves, "Here, let's honor God by building a church." And it's a bit more comfortable to think that we will encounter the deity when we're dressed up and sitting in church than to go through our days wondering if a cloud is suddenly going to envelop our kitchens as we stand at the sink in our pajamas, with a voice breaking through and saying, "I am the Lord your God."
And when we build those sanctuaries, we institutionalize glory. We come to church and sing about glory, but I wonder if we even hear the words, some days. "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen."
But there's a third response to God's glory in these two scriptures. Moses ended up with a veil over his face so the people wouldn't have to deal with it, and Peter wanted to build monuments, but in the end, after the voice had spoken and the cloud went away, and Jesus was there alone, the disciples "kept silent." They didn't know what this meant. A week earlier they'd heard that Jesus was going to suffer and die and (right) be resurrected, and that they would suffer along with him … and now here he was with his face changed and his clothing radiating light, hanging out with Moses and Elijah, and with God's voice booming out, "This is my Son, my Chosen" … They had to be confused. And overwhelmed. And scared and elated and struck with the knowledge that this was BIG, this was way beyond them.
And they kept silent. I imagine that, as Luke said of Mary, they "pondered these things in their hearts." They let this unbelievable experience into their hearts and ultimately were changed by it, by the glory of God. Peter still ended up denying Jesus, and the disciples still ended up huddling together in a locked room … but the glory was there, the glory was growing on them and in them.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
In what ways does God's glory manifest itself in your life? Have you had moments when suddenly your life was transfigured by God? Or has God's glory shown up in your life, like it has in mine, in an accumulation of Christmas Eve services and Easter services and just-any-old-Sunday services? Has God's glory here and there brought you to tears while you sang a hymn? Have you stood in a mountain valley and suddenly had your breath taken away at God's magnificent creation? Has a child's voice cracked open your heart so that you heard the word of God?
We can't make God's glory appear for us. We can't, on our own, make an experience holy. But we can arrange our lives so that when God's glory is there, we won't miss it, or turn away, or try to fit it into some preconceived, rational, orderly concept.
I read the story this week called "Stopping by a Red Light on a weekday Evening" by an associate editor at Sojourners. It tells of a man whose life practices make it possible for God's glory to shine through, and I'd like to share it with you.
At the corner of 14th and Euclid Streets NW in
About 50 years old, he wears dark pants, white high-top sneakers, and the pizza company's bright red shirt. In the dusty space between the cracked sidewalk and the asphalt, between the traffic light pole and a chipped green fire hydrant, he lays down a faded prayer rug and faces the rose-washed bricks of the apartment building toward the east.
As the sun slants behind him in the west, the Domino's deliveryman lays out his blue and tan prayer rug and removes his shoes. Perhaps he thinks that this place is not as clean as it should be, or mourns that he is not with a community of believers. Perhaps he feels guilty that, with his work schedule, he cannot complete all the sunset prayers.
Still, he touches his forehead to the ground.
At that moment of prayer, he is not simply one more object in the urban landscape. Rather he has become a hierophany—a disruption of profane space by the manifestation of the divine—an occasion for glory to shine through. His act of praying transforms the cityscape into sacred space, holy ground.
For a time, strangers become neighbors, a red light becomes a Sabbath moment, and the frenetic urban energy slows perceptibly around him.
And I'd like to image that when he finishes his prayer and stands and puts his shoes back on, the motorists passing by—whether they are Muslim or Jewish or Christian or some other faith or lack of faith—that the motorists passing by get a glimpse of the glory of God shining in his face. They may not know what they have seen, but like Mary and the three disciples, they ponder these things in their hearts. And the glory of the Lord is round about them.
Friends, the glory of God is round about us as well. May we have faith that it is there and grace to see it shining through. Thanks be to God, who reigns in awesome power. Thanks be to God, who gives us grace to see. Amen.
