Your One-Line Biography

Last week I've started watching Chrome-Shelled Regios; while the show is pretty much in the 'pop' category (which I don't really value much even though Toradora! is in it, too), it still is pretty entertaining and seems nicely done. And it features a cutely deformed Felli once in a while.
Then today I finally decided to give a try to this last season's Kyoto Animation's project: The World Reflected in the Eyes of a Girl Looking Up at the Heavens. The character designs seem to be of Air fame and the heroine, Yumemi, has a clearly Misuzu-ish look (she has long blonde hair, wears a huge white decoration which somehow looks like Misuzu's ribbon from certain angles, and she's even a klutz, too). So far I'm at episode 3, and I think I like the series.

Robert Martensen, A Life Worth Residing: A Doctor's Reflections on Sickness in a High-Tech Period (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2008). Further, following World Warfare II, America was handed the duty for overseeing and managing the worldwide financial system and international political economy through the creation of establishments and agreements such as the World Bank, Worldwide Monetary Fund (IMF), NATO, the UN, and GATT (later to change into the World Trade Organization – WTO). We've already tried it in Hawaii and Massachussetts. Hawaii's universal healthcare plan failed in 7 months! Why? As a result of what was meant for the uninsured, the insured wished! Who the heck would not need FREE healthcare? And in Massachussetts, healthcare is adding to the state's already crippling deficit.
A girl from Sweden (I believe) instructed me that eighty five% of the people there use public transportation. Train individuals or groups how you can correctly carry out exercises and use exercise tools. I wish now that I had known why I had diffcilutties earlier in my life as at time sit would have helped me to ask for some help. For instance colleges these days have employees who may also help a pupil hold organized and study examine skills etc.
In an effort to grow and build quality muscle, the physique requires a certain amount of protein. The amount of protein will vary depending on the person and other numerous elements. All 5 – 6 of your meals ought to include some kind of protein like fish, eggs, steak or lean chicken. Go for chicken poultry instead of darkish, removing the skin earlier than cooking it. In case your consuming supplemental protein shakes, make sure that it is low in carbohydrates and sugar grams. Be very aware of your protein consumption, it ought to correlate particularly along with your physique, your weight and your exercise level. Notice I stated everything is about you. Don't soak up a protein grams plan that's related to another person's body can not store protein, so taking it excessively will really do more hurt than good. The surplus protein might be excreted as waste or saved as fats and add pointless stress in your kidneys.
Okay, so now you understand all about vitamin D and why it's necessary. But have you learnt what it means when you happen to be someone battling vitamin D deficiency? It's not good, folks. The richest 1% of adults alone owned forty% of global property within the 12 months 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for eighty five% of the world whole. In distinction, the bottom half of the world adult inhabitants owned barely 1% of world wealth.
A easy approach to resolve this subject is to pay cautious consideration to automobiles, individuals, and different patterns that take place close to and round your house. This fashion, you will be more more likely to take heed when something is not fairly right. Air purifiers will cope with all scents in your home so you need not trouble with constantly cleanliness.

This Chelsea record will give Pep Guardiola a sleepless night - Ray Wilkins
RAY WILKINS believes Chelsea's mean defence will give Pep Guardiola a sleepless night ahead of Saturday's showdown.
The Premier League leaders head into the clash at Manchester City in fine form, having won seven games on the spin.
Antonio Conte's switch to a 3-4-3 formation sparked the impressive run, during which they have conceded just one goal.
"It'll cause him a bit of a sleepless night on Friday"Ray Wilkins
Wilkins also believes City's patchy home record - three wins and three draws - will leave Guardiola scratching his head.
But the ex-Chelsea coach is expecting a hard-fought clash between the two teams.
He said on Sky Sports: "Guardiola will be concerned with City's home form, it should be a fortress.
"He'll also be worried about Chelsea's defensive record considering they've conceded one in seven games.
"It'll cause him a bit of a sleepless night on Friday I think.
"But they [City] will give Chelsea a tough test with the players they have."

EXTRACT FORHer Master's Degree - Part 2 (Sean O'Kane)
Mia's punishment was swift and brutal. The
High Master of the Schloss had had her thrown into the deepest cellar they
possessed when she had been overtaken just outside one of the doors leading out
into the grounds. In all probability she would not have made it across the
grounds and over the wall but that did not alter the fact that a girl had tried
to defy the will of her masters.
All the other girls had been locked down for a
whole day and Girl Ten supposed they were deliberating on Mia's fate. They were
only allowed out of their rooms for the evening meal and then they were locked
down again. In Ten's experience it was completely unknown for a girl to be left
untouched for twenty-four hours in that place.
The next morning a frame had been erected in
the hallway, which all the girls would pass through several times a day on
their way to the kitchens, the dining rooms, the library, the dungeons –
wherever they were required to be.
Mia, naked apart from a hood was strung up in
it spreadeagled. Her nipples were gripped tight by screw clamps and thin chains
ran down from them to a further clamp screwed tight onto her clitoris. The
chains were taut – the breasts dragged down, the clitoris stretched up. From
between her legs wires trailed down to a Tens machine, such as Girl Ten had
experienced at her master's hands. She could see that they led up into both the
wretched girl's entrances. The machine had obviously been set to deliver random
pulses and at each one she would jerk convulsively, arching her back and
groaning as each convulsion increased the tugs at her clitoris and nipples.
At times during what must have seemed like an
eternity of pain to Mia, the clamps were removed and her cries as blood flowed
back into crushed nerves rang throughout the schloss.
And even while the naked body flinched and
jerked in its unremitting bondage there was a notice pinned to the top of the
frame. It read; 'She awaits her sentence.'
Girl Ten could only tremble at the thought of
what the masters would do if this was only a foretaste.
Any girl caught trying to avoid looking at
the criminal as she suffered was flung to her knees on the spot and her upper
back – which her uniform left bare – was whipped with the crops the guards all
The day after that, Mia was strung up again
and this time a tube of toothpaste and some chilli and ginger were left on the
base of the frame.
As the girls passed to and fro, the guards
would from time to time, grinning nastily, order them to rub one or more of the
items on Mia's clitoris or insert some up her anus. Once again she writhed and
screamed her way through an entire day of torment.
Only on the third day did her punishment
begin and all the girls were lined up around the galleried landing which ran
round three walls above the hall. The guards stood behind them and were ordered
by the High Master to whip any girl who attempted to look away.
Once again the frail and vulnerably naked
girl was led out and tied in full extension into the frame. She was not hooded
or gagged and she cried and begged for mercy as she was tied.
There was none. And Girl Ten had to approve
of that. There could be none or the whole edifice of submission and dominance
on which the schloss stood would crumble.
Four of the masters delivered fifty lashes
each simultaneously, two from in front and two from behind.
It was so different from the sensuous,
prolonged beatings she was used to that it took Girl Ten's breath away. The
great hall was filled with the non-stop swish and thump of leather on female
flesh. The victim's cries flew up to the rafters and Girl Ten couldn't help
loving them as she watched the black hair toss while the body bloomed into
savage cross hatching as blades cut it from all angles.
It was over shockingly quickly and for a
while no one moved. Mia's head hung down between her shoulders, snaking trails
of crimson slowly wandered down her back and hips.
Then the High Master stepped forwards and
spoke in German first and then English.
first part of her punishment is complete," he told them and Gina was amazed
that they thought the girl could take any more. But the masters knew very well
what girlflesh could take and Mia deserved everything she was getting.
The following day was a shorter session and
was held in the afternoon once lunch had been served. The frame was laid
horizontally on four supporting posts in the hall and Mia was tied down on her
back. A fifth post was put in under the small of her back to keep her body stretched
taut and then she was ringed. She had a ring in one nostril, then a thick one
in each nipple. She had a navel piercing and then the finishing touch was
applied. She had six labial rings of extreme heaviness inserted. She had to be
revived to savour the full pain of the final four piercings but eventually she
was dragged up and held upright, unable to stand unaided and Gina, like many
around her gasped in admiration at the way the lips were distended down between
the slender thighs. They had all seen one other female similarly ringed, but
Mia was so slight and frail-looking that the effect was stunningly erotic. The
contrast between the brutally heavy steel and the slender girl through whose
flesh it had been driven was thrilling indeed.
will never again forget who and what she truly is," the High Master announced
and Gina could see how right he was. The almost inert body was dragged away and
the schloss went about its business once more. But the wickedly thrilling
punishments obviously had their effect on the masters too because Gina received
a much longer and harsher flogging than usual down in the dungeons that night.
She experienced a multiple orgasm as she was taken afterwards and ejaculated,
much to the amusement of the men.
The final chapter was written the next day
when a heavy steel grating was dragged up from below and propped against one
wall of the great hall. Gina had seen this in use down there and knew what it
portended. Several of the girls exchanged meaningful glances as Mia was led out
once more. This time she was tied face towards the grille and tied tightly
around her shoulders, waist and thighs as well as at ankles and wrists, knees
and elbows. She was held completely immobile as the brazier was carried in and
the irons were put to heating. Mia was just able to turn her head and let out a
sob as she saw what awaited her.
While the irons heated up, some of the girls
began to fidget – Gina among them. She had always wanted to bear her master's
mark indelibly scored somewhere on her body and she couldn't deny the
excitement that seeing it done always awoke in her.
And even the smell of scorched flesh and the
throat ripping scream that accompanied each brand could not extinguish that
longing in her. When it was done – and Gina supposed that it was Mia's master
who held the hot irons to her while the count was made – the girl bore his
initials on the back of each shoulder in letters two inches high. An 'S' on the
left shoulder and a 'C' on the right.
Gina understood completely that now, whenever
she was stripped for beating, her master could see the marks of his ownership
seared into her. The welts left by crops and whips would be trivial by

Mia as she recovered down in the bowels of the schloss. Matron gave them
various dressings and lotions to apply as she healed. She had only a
straw-filled mattress to sit on in a bare, stone-walled room. She was kept in
chains and even had an ancient iron ball attached to one ankle. At first Gina was
frightened of going in – Mia must know it was she who had tipped off the men.
But as she knelt down beside her and uncovered the fresh dressings, Mia had
reached out as much as she could, held her hand and thanked her.
Gina asked, nonplussed.
now I know truly what I am – what I must be for all my life. And if you had not
tipped the guards off I might even have escaped and wandered alone and lost out
Then she turned over to have her burns
dressed and Gina worked on her sister slave thoughtfully. With the dressings
on, she had the girl turn over and began to turn her piercings for her, saving
the cunt rings till last. They were truly brutally thick and as she turned each
one carefully she thought of how thick the taper must have been and how much it
would have hurt as it bored slowly through the fatty flesh of the labia.

"I mean how much did it hurt?"
felt like I was getting all the pain I had ever experienced in one go," Mia
whispered softly.
the brands?"
all the pain I would ever feel in the future!" Mia answered instantly and she
realised that Mia was smiling contentedly. Gina let her fingers drift along the

not leave too bad a scar.
were very brave," she told her.
Mia shook her head. "It was my master who was
brave. He didn't flinch from doing what had to be done. I thought I loved him
before, but that was weak, girlie stuff. Now I know what real love is. It is
fierce and it burns. He has made me burn for him and bound me to him forever."
Gina left her in her prison and went back
upstairs, hoping her master would come soon. She so wanted to beg him to mark her.
England, six months earlier
It was the best time Gina had ever had with
the doctor. On that weekend when he had first whipped her as a punishment, he
whipped her again, whipped her hard and
frequently and she twisted and cried and suffered for him joyfully. He used her
repeatedly and he showed no signs of tiring of her.
She was allowed to stay with him at night and
in the morning was kept naked apart from collar, stockings and heels. Again he
kept her close beside him as he caught up on personal correspondence and again
he fingered her casually as she stood beside him. She could hear the cook
clattering about in the kitchen as his fingers worked inside her and she loved
the decadence of it all and the thrill of being so close to exposure.
She was also delighted when, with no warning
he had her bend forwards over the arm of a sofa, opened his trousers and took
her from behind. She would have loved to have seen him come but as she was
jerked backwards and forwards over the fabric of the sofa she found it entirely
satisfactory and fulfilling to be serving him with his hand at the back of her
neck holding her head down. She made every effort to swivel and buck her pelvis
as he fucked her (and never had she felt the word was more applicable) and the
pride she felt when he achieved his climax inside her was immeasurable.
During the afternoon he whipped her again.
It was the first time the whole beating had
been purely for the pleasure it afforded him and she found it painful in
varying degrees but confusing because he took the time to caress and play with
her breasts in between bouts of hard beating to her back and her still-bruised
He used a dog whip, the two, heavy flat tails
almost knocked her off balance and she was reduced to yelping in pain after
only a few lashes. He let her rest for a moment after he had made her back and
buttocks sting and burn and she was panting for breath. He came round to her
front and squeezed and suckled at her breasts, nipping at her nipples to make
her gasp and bring tears to her eyes.
Gina adored every second he spent tormenting
and exploring those parts of her. The pain was a sharp descant in comparison to
the widespread burn of the whipping. But it was the obvious pleasure he took,
it was the letting down of his careful control she loved above all else and to
see him take a turgid nipple into his mouth and suck and bite it almost made
her come.
Then he whipped her again, this time with a
flogger with stiff leather lashes that stung bitterly. She couldn't help
beginning to twist and cry out under that one. But she could see from the
concentrated expression on his face that he was quite unmoved and was purely
searching for his own pleasure and that helped her withstand the pain.
When he finally released her aching arms she
almost fell into him. He had beaten her with two more whips and she felt as
though she might have passed out if he had carried on much longer. Her back and
buttocks and the backs of her thighs seemed to be red hot.
He took her back upstairs on her leash and
with her hands clipped together behind her and once back in the lounge she
knelt up and fellated him.
Gina's heart felt as if it would burst with
pride as the doctor came in her for the second time that day. He came almost as
soon as she was allowed to suck him and she delighted in knowing that causing
her to suffer had made him so urgent.
He put her in the corner after that but kept
coming over to her and stroking the welts on her back. She dared to hope that
he might take her again but instead he had her come over to his chair and lie
in front of him with her legs wide open.
He had fetched a small case from downstairs
and took from it various toys. He made her start with a bullet that he could
activate from his mobile phone. She had to push it up into her and then lie and
wait for him to start it. Above her the TV was on and he was watching cricket
from Australia, she was certain that he had forgotten all about her when
finally the thing buzzed into life inside her making her jump and gasp, which
earned her an irritated 'Ssh!'. After a few moments of pleasant interior
stimulation she was allowed to fish it out and apply it to her clitoris,
although she was strictly ordered not to make any disturbing noises. By
gritting her teeth she managed to stop herself from coming and from making too
much noise and thankfully he turned it off. But then he produced a vibrator
rather like the one she had bought for herself and she was commanded to use it.
Pretty soon she was writhing desperately as she tried to keep it in her and
tried to stop herself from coming noisily.
At last she couldn't help herself from
letting out a long moan of delight as she rammed the thing into herself and
began to spiral upwards. She had no option but to surrender to the orgasm and
to try and keep the noise down. She arched her back clear up off the floor and
thrust and thrust again until finally the spasms and cramps had passed then she
slumped back down, turning the thing off but leaving it in place between her
slackly parted legs as she panted her way back to earth.
He sat forwards and looked down at her for a

her feet with his.
up then."
Gina did as she was told, aware that she had
been set up to fail but too blissed out to care.
From the case he took out two little clamps.
"Hold your tits up please."
Gina cupped her breasts and held them up for
him, eyeing the clamps nervously. She had been impatient to see what he could
do with her breasts but now it came to it these things looked as though they
could cause real pain and her breasts looked awfully vulnerable.
He fitted the jaws of each clamp over each
nipple and adjusted a screw so that she felt them bite into the throbbing,
tender, erect flesh till the breath hissed between her teeth. With that
accomplished he twisted a control on the small cylinders behind each clip and
suddenly the clamps were vibrating.
She couldn't help exclaiming in surprise.
"Oh! Oh!"
he snapped and sat back, pushing her sideways with his foot. "Don't disturb me
or you'll be back downstairs before supper."
For a nipple-sensitive girl like Gina it was
exquisite torment. The stimulation and the pain were both so intense that she
couldn't tell which was which. She knelt with her thighs wide apart and her
hands behind her back and bit her lip to prevent any noise escaping but she
knew it was a losing battle. Without her hands to support her breasts the
clamps dragged them down and stretched the nipples cruelly while the relentless
vibrating and the crushing strength of the jaws were sending signals of such
all-consuming sensual overload to her
brain that she was out of her depth.
Eventually she had to put her head back and
emit a long, shrill whine just to relieve the pressure.
The doctor thumbed the remote and the TV went
Sir," Gina managed through tear blurred eyes.
tears? Good!" he said, wiping his thumbs down her cheeks. Then he grasped the
clamps and pulled them, making her yelp in distress. She blinked away a fresh
flood of tears and saw he was smiling at her.
tears! And let's have some more!" He pulled again and she sobbed.
Sir! Please no more!"
We've reached her limit," he mused and suddenly let the clamps go.
yourself," he told her and using both hands opened the jaws of the clamps and
took them off.
Gina had no idea what he meant and was caught
totally unawares. Her abused nipples seemed to burst into life, sending sharp
spears of pain lancing right through her as the blood flowed back into crushed
nerves. Instinctively she brought her hands round to her front and cradled her
breasts, trying to stroke and rub away the pain.
He allowed her some time before ordering her
to her feet and putting his fingers up her again.
To Gina's amazement she was more than merely
wet, in moments he was able to withdraw his fingers and show her that they were
glistening and he was able to wipe his hand along her slit and show her how
even that brief contact had moistened his palm.
Obediently she licked his hand clean, dazed
from the emotional and physical storms she had passed through in just one
Doctor Rossiter seemed to fill her entire
universe now.
Changing tack with no warning again he sent
her upstairs to dress in the embroidered corset because he was taking her out.
He removed her collar and lead before dismissing her.
Upstairs she looked at her back again and saw
that the welts had almost faded completely so she knew she could look forward
to going under the whip again soon. Her nipples were tender but had resumed
their normal roundness but she could see her face was flushed and still excited
by the experiences she had been through. She washed and made up again, brushed
her hair once more and put on the corset and hold ups as she had been
instructed before going back to him.
As she had half suspected, he had something
more in store for her. He was holding two balls linked by a thin cord in his
these in your cunt," he told her. She thought she would never accustom herself
to the erotic jolt she got from hearing the coarse terms fall from his lips.
Nervously she took them from him and found
that they had some kind of weight inside them that shifted as the balls were
moved. They weren't overly heavy but she could immediately appreciate that
inside her they would make their presence known to her.
Sir," she said, spreading her legs and joyfully abandoning herself to another
flight of erotic experience at the doctor's hands. They slipped into her quite
easily and filled her comfortably enough, but as soon as he took her into the
hall to put on her outdoor clothes she perceived that the subtle shifting
inside her would remind her constantly that she had them inside her. And she
knew she wouldn't be able to resist the excitement that they would engender;
completely independent of her will.
They were perfect.
With her sweater and skirt back on he drove
her to a neighbouring town and parked behind a wine bar. Gina couldn't help noticing
that he parked at the far end of the car park, despite there being places
nearer the door. The fleeting smile she got as he helped her out of the car
confirmed that he was playing with her again. She set off walking beside him
and sure enough felt the balls shift and roll inside her, touching the walls of
However by the time they reached the door,
the stimulation was getting more marked.

I remember Port Isaac from when I was a little girl on family holidays so that is the attraction for me but lots travel to this little fishing village as it is where Doc Martin is filmed. There was also a film called Saving Grace set here that we watched after visiting last time.
We park on the New Road car park rather than the first one you come to. They are trying to keep people out of the main village itself which is rightly so as it's very narrow driving down! We took a wrong turn today and had to drive through the main part and I didn't enjoy it one bit…don't know how the fishing vans get down there!
It was ridiculously windy today, we were expecting it and that's why we changed our plans from a bike ride. But the views are still gorgeous.
On a low tide there are rock pools and a cave to look in as well as the harbour wall to climb up. But it was nice to see the fishing boats in on the high tide.
There are loads of little coffee shops and fish restaurants to chose from but we always go to the Chapel Gallery and Cafe. Even tho it's a gallery it's really child friendly with books for the kids to read.
If you carry on walking past the cafe you find 'Doc Martin's house' but it's worth walking up even if you aren't a fan as the views back are lovely.
We picked up some fresh fish on our way back. The fish shop is right on the beach…it's only open in a morning.
There is a lifeboat station that you can look into (only for about a minute of entertainment but the kids still enjoyed it).
We always manage to pass a few hours here on a fair/bad weather day. There used to be a shop that sold kids 'tat' for around £1 and they always got a present from there but now it sells more wooden toys and is expensive so the kids were a bit disappointed that they didn't get anything other than a postcard today.
We then drove to Port Quin which is a few miles on to eat lunch. There isn't much here at all but there is a National Trust car park with picnic tables and a small beach.
Cornwall often has rainy mornings and then it brightens up in the afternoon so this is one of my recommendations for waiting for the weather to pass!

Williston Crossings RV Resort, Williston, Florida
Date of Stay:
December, 2005 -
Overall Rating:
We arrived in early December and immediately felt like part of the Martin family. Due to a family emergency and my husband becoming ill, our stay is extended indefinitely. Thank goodness we found Williston Crossings! The Martins check on us regularly. Everything we've needed during my husband's illness is a stone's throw away in Williston. Although not a metropolis, it's very quaint. It's a lovely 25 minute drive through horse country to Ocala where there is absolutely everything you could want. We're also only one to two hours from all of central Florida's fun activities. The bath facilities are beautiful. The laundry is state-of-the-art. Security is excellent. The sites are generous in size, all concrete with large patios and gorgeous moss laden oaks. No dumpsters are in sight. Our garbage bags are picked up daily right in front of our coach. There is an active train track adjacent to the property. However, we've grown to rather enjoy the train sounds. We're so anxious for the rest of the resort to be completed. It's going to be a one-of-a-kind! We camped at Williston Crossings RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Clio has taught education courses at the college level and has a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction.
Ms. Pritchard is a master 3rd-grade teacher who spends a great deal of time helping her students learn how to write well-formulated paragraphs. A paragraph is a group of sentences that center around one idea or meaning. As Ms. Pritchard teaches her students, paragraph writing is important because paragraphs are building blocks for writing longer essays, articles, and stories.
Ms. Pritchard is going to let you in on some of the secrets she teaches her students to make sure that their paragraphs are strong and make a lot of sense. One word of caution: Ms. Pritchard warns that before children can learn how to write paragraphs, they must have a solid grasp of sentence writing. Prior to tackling paragraphs with your students, assess their ability to write well-developed and grammatically correct sentences. Then, you are ready to move on.
Ms. Pritchard teaches her 3rd-graders that just like a good story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, so does a good paragraph. She teaches her beginning students to plan their paragraphs using an organizer. An organizer is a visual way to plan writing before adding any detail or formulating a piece. More advanced students will not need this organizer and might be able to get more creative with their paragraph writing, but for beginners, the hamburger-style organizer is a helpful way to remember about beginnings, middles, and ends.
In the top bun of the organizer, students should jot a few thoughts about how they want their paragraph to open. In the lettuce, cheese, and meat sections (feel free to switch these up for vegetarian students!), they should write at least three details that support what they are going to say. And in the bottom bun, they should jot some ideas about how they will close their paragraphs.
A topic sentence is what Ms. Pritchard teaches her students to call the opening sentence of their paragraph. The key things to remember about topic sentences, she explains, are that they introduce what the paragraph is about, capture the reader's attention, and begin with an indentation to show that they are introducing a new idea.
Ms. Pritchard allows her students to spend at least a class period practicing topic sentences and testing them out on their classmates. They discover that topic sentences are very explicit about introducing the topic of the paragraph, and they often include an exciting fact or a question that readers will be interested in answering. She congratulates Jose on his wonderful topic sentence for a paragraph on horseback riding:
'Horseback riding might scare you or excite you, but if you read on, you will learn some important tips about riding safely while still having fun.'
Ms. Pritchard believes strongly that a solid paragraph has at least three supporting details. More than five can sometimes get overwhelming, and fewer than three is almost never enough to prove the point. Ms. Pritchard reminds her students that supporting details should always relate back to the topic sentence. She explains that a detail can take more than one sentence to describe in full. She has each of her students choose one of their topic sentences from yesterday's class period and think of at least three supporting details. Then, she lets her students help one another craft their details into complete sentences.
Lauren has chosen to write her paragraph about cooking Indian food. Her supporting details include the importance of adding spices, serving rice or naan on the side, and focusing on vegetables rather than meat. For her second detail - serving rice or naan - she ends up with the following cluster of sentences:
'Rice is a good way to calm the spicy flavor of some Indian dishes, and it is also a staple of many Indian diets. You can serve it on the side or under saucy foods. Naan, one type of Indian bread, is another delicious choice that many people eat on the side with curries and other dishes.'
Ms. Pritchard points out that while Lauren has three sentences here, they all connect to one detail, and that detail relates back to the topic sentence.
Ms. Pritchard tells her students that a strong concluding sentence can be the most challenging part of paragraph writing. She suggests that a good conclusion should sum up the main idea of your paragraph, start with a key word or phrase, like 'as you can see,' 'finally,' or 'in conclusion,' and leave your reader with something interesting to think about.
Her students spend yet another class period playing around with conclusions for their paragraphs. They workshop each other's work and give advice and comments. Ben ends up with a wonderful conclusion to his paragraph about Minecraft:
'As you can see, Minecraft is a fun but complicated game - maybe you will find out more by playing it yourself!'
Now that Ms. Pritchard's students have written all of the components of their paragraphs, they edit for punctuation, grammar, and spelling; and they put the different building blocks together. They copy their paragraphs into neater final drafts and celebrate their accomplishments by sharing their writing with one another.
Just as Ms. Pritchard's students have learned to write a paragraph, a group of sentences that center around one idea or meaning, you have learned about how to teach one. You now know to teach students that a paragraph begins with a solid topic sentence that introduces what the paragraph is about, continues with three to five supporting details, and ends with a conclusion that sums up the main idea. Students will need practice to develop these skills, of course, but over time you will see that your students have become stronger paragraph writers ready to compose longer and more complicated pieces.

We love entertaining.
That is one of the many things I love about Mr Lid, he shares my passion for having people over, making them smile, its the little things… we started our entertaining days with tea light candles in brightly coloured plastic cups to add a special glow about the house- now we have a million glass jars left over form our wedding that we use. We have several playlists of all sorts of music, one for every occasion. Smelly candles that are great to relax and make a room feel warm. And we can not forget the food.
I think it is something I learnt from my mum, but when it comes to having people over, more is never too much.
Picky plates are a specialty of ours, because it is something we love to eat. A little bit of everything. But I do like to throw in one or two special things…
Girls night at our place was made possible by a Boys night up the road at our dear friends house- who would have thought having friends live at the end of the street was so handy!
So when making snacks for the girls, I had to think of things that would be good for Men playing Poker. Man food.
Only one thing came to mind- well two… Soft pretzels with warm cheese dip and cocktail sausages we bought the latter as I couldn't make them better than the red skinned bulk packs you get from the supermarket.
Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites
Soft Pretzels:
1 1/2 cups warm water (blood temp*)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
85g unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
3 litres water
3/4 cup baking soda
1 whole egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
Coarse sea salt- I used some smoked salt with garlic and herbs.
If you want sweet bites- sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar after egg washing and serve with salted caramel sauce (I will put the recipe up a bit later)
For the Pretzels: Combine the water, sugar, yeast, and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the dough hook until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the salt and flour and mix on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the side of the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough appears too wet, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a flat surface and knead into a ball with your hands.
Oil a bowl with vegetable oil, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 230c
Bring the water to a boil in a small roasting pan over high heat and add the baking soda. I boiled 1 liter of water with 1/3cup Baking Soda and changed it every so often.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a flat surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, roll each piece into a long log. Cut the dough into 3cm pieces to make the pretzel bites. Boil the pretzel bites in the water solution in batches. I did about 15 bites at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds. Remove with a large slotted spoon. Place pretzel bites on a baking paper. Make sure they are not touching. Brush the tops with the egg wash and season liberally with the salt. Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
Remove to a baking rack and let rest 5 minutes before eating. Or if not eating right away warm in oven for 5min before serving.
*blood temp – when putting your finger in blood temp water it should not feel cold or hot it should feel the same.
This recipe was found at http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/homemade-soft-pretzel-bites/
Cheese dip
250g Tasty Cheese (best to buy a block and hand grate as the pre grated stuff contains starch that will effect the consistency)
1 can Evaporated milk (375ml)
1Tbs Corn flour
I added 2Tbs of a lovely smokey chipotle sauce, but any hot sauce you like will do- or you could leave plain.
Pour evaporated milk into a pan- reserving about 2Tbs. Add the grated cheese to the milk and melt on a medium heat stiring frequently.
Mix the cornflour with the left over evaporated milk string to remove lumps, add this to the cheese mixture and keep stirring until the mixture thickens and bubbles. If you are using hot sauce at this stage add it.
Serve hot, if not serving straight away, reheat till it bubbles again, and the dip is smooth and silky.
This stuff is great to dip the pretzels in, I also put out some corn chips and vegetable sticks to dip as well.

I put the bacon grease into small paper cups (let it cool a little before you do this) then cover w/ plastic wrap and put in the freezer. Use for the start of soups instead of butter or oil, also for the start of chile or other bean dishes. Take out the paper cup and it will defrost very quickly and you can scoop the bacon fat out. Or, I have cut off the paper cup w/ a scissor and then use a knife to cut off the bottom where any particles might have settled. It gives a nice subtle flavor to whatever you use it for.

Bands are dead. Critics are dead. Music is dead. And so on. After the dissection of the Mercury Prize we move on to the BBC Sound Of list in the annual carnival that is the death grip relationship between the media and the music industry.
I've been part of the shrug dressed up as fanfare that is the Sound Of List on a couple of occasions. Times were different when The Ordinary Boys and then The Twang found themselves part of the list. Both bands went on to healthy sales, in the case of the (then) much maligned Twang more than healthy sales and two of the biggest radio hits of the year in 'Wide Awake' and 'Either Way'. Would either have succeeded without their inclusion? Yes. Did their inclusion make a major difference? Not at press, in my world, the press were already on it hence the inclusion. Possibly at radio. What you can say without any shadow of doubt is that their inclusion was a small part of the first stage of what, for want of a better word we shall call their 'career'. And wildly divergent their paths were since then. The Ordinary Boys went on to a singer on celeb tv, a massive hit and then a void, one that I understand all have come out of ok, which is good news. The Twang were hung out to dry but have simply continued and now find themselves out of the other side, happily making records (Rory Attwell produced the latest one so clearly they aren't poison in the way that some would imagine) and touring to a dedicated and loyal fanbase, playing to numbers that many of those in later Sound Of Polls could only dream of at their height and certainly will never see in the future.
The debate this time is centred around the make up of the list. Bands are notable by their absence, QED bands are dead. The media loves to declare extinction in music, in the last decade or so I can recall dance music, hip hop, rock and indie all being 'dead' at some point, normally just before the chosen corpse rises Lazarus like to dominate the discussion if not the charts. The Sound Of List is, to a greater degree, no better or worse than all the other 'Tips for the next year' pieces that drop like portents of doom / the chimes of the future (*delete according to pessimism) around the close of one year and the start of the next. No great surprise there given that many of the writers and broadcasters of such pieces are themselves part of the quasi illuminati voting panel that declare the 15 to watch for the national broadcaster.
What 'The Sound Of' and its ilk really represent is an agenda setter for the media to fill up the first month or so of any given new year. In essence, and despite many 'failures' across the lists over the years, the bulk of those chosen are guaranteed airplay on Radio One and therefore will undoubtedly achieve some kind of position within the national consciousness for that short window of time. Clever record companies will tie their appearance into the release of debut albums in a quiet month scoring higher chart placings than would otherwise be the case on lower sales allowing folk like me to add the epithet 'Top Ten album' to the press release announcing the post album single release. To pretend otherwise is to amplify a media construct to national discussion.
As for bands being dead, a dispassionate look across the music landscape reveals this to be, frankly, utter bollocks. Chvrches look very much like a band to me, as do Palma Violets, Parquet Courts, Savages, Fat White Family etc ad nauseum. One commentator on The Guardian's outlet for bile and tosh suggested that record companies had devised some Machiavellian pact to stop signing bands on the basis that they are 'too expensive'. He has clearly never paid session musicians to replicate the job of a signed (and therefore free) musician. What the list may reveal to us is that Radio One are not particularly keen on bands but when did we ever look to Radio One to break anything of note? Those writing obituaries should beware, history tells us that premature declarations of 'facts' often leave their makers looking less than intelligent.

Former "The Hills" cast member Jason Daniel Wahler pleaded guilty Monday to drunken driving and sentenced to three years' probation and two days in jail, but with credit for time served won't spend any more time in custody.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Brett London also ordered Wahler to pay $390 in fines and take a three-month alcohol-awareness class, according to court records.
Prosecutors dismissed one count of driving under the influence and Wahler pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of .08 percent.
Wahler had a blood-alcohol content of .19 percent when he was arrested March 19, according to prosecutors.
Wahler's attorney, Jack Earley, said Wahler wanted to put the matter behind him and is working hard to maintain his sobriety.
"He's doing everything he needs to do — working and staying out of trouble," Earley said. "He's trying to turn over a new leaf."
Earley characterized the sentence as a "fairly standard disposition" of the case because he pleaded guilty so early in the process.
Ultimately, Wahler will pay about $1,600 in fees and fines related to the case and will lose his license for 30 days before the Department of Motor Vehicles issues him a restricted license for 150 days limiting his driving to work and alcohol-education programs, Earley said.
"The Hills," a spinoff of the MTV documentary series "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," featured Lauren Conrad as she moved from Laguna Beach to Los Angeles.
Wahler, 23, told US magazine in March that he was "very, very ashamed of everything," referring to the drunken driving charge and reports he got into a bar brawl in Cabo San Lucas March 11.
Wahler told the magazine he had fallen out of touch with his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor while working on movies and resumed drinking. Wahler told the magazine in March he has resumed going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

follow link Anger lies into one of the categories of human emotion. It is a natural phenomenon in human behavior and nothing to worry about it. But sometimes this emotion goes out of control and this is the time the person needs to be cautious or his loved ones need to be aware. There are various reasons for a person to be angry. For example, it can be a mild situation like stuck in traffic jam or severe situations like personal life issues. In most extreme cases, people act before thinking and welcome problems into their life. This is why it is very important to know how to deal with anger.
here There are ways to control anger as this is the newly the hot topic of this time. To avoid aggressive behavior caused by angriness, people can take anger management classes.
get link Here are some anger management tips describing some effective anger management techniques that you can apply to live a peaceful life:
1. Think Before You Speak
see url It is widely advised by almost everyone that to think before you speak. Because if you have said something that you should not have, then you might later regret and feel sorry and stressed about the whole situation! In the heat of the moment, think that you are a brave person and you can take revenge or action at the right time and avoid reacting to that situation.
2. Once You're Calm, Express Your Anger
brand equity literature review When you are furious, spare yourself sometime alone and think for some time. Talk to yourself and let go of the anger. When you are angry, don't pretend to give the impression of being well. There is nothing worse for the health than to live on appearances and facades. Once you are cooled down, denote your frustration in an assertive but non-confrontational way.
literature review in biometrics
3. Get Some Exercise
There is nothing better than physical activity to demote stress which can cause you to become angry. If you think you cannot control your anger and in a way exploding inside, go for a walk near the beach or nearest park and think about the problem and try to find an effective solution.
4. Take a Timeout
Spend some time alone and spare some lonely time for yourself from a busy schedule. The quiet moments will calm your nerves and help you get rid of your angriness. It's more like self-anger management class.
5. Identify Possible Solutions
Negative people do not find solutions and amplify their problems. They prefer gossip and lamentation. It is better to light a match than to regret the darkness. The negative thought accumulates negative energy that is transformed into illness.
6. Don't Hold a Grudge
Forgiving people is the best thing a person can do. This is because only the negative thoughts doesn't conquer the mind and keep it busy but also relaxes the nerve when you forgive. Forgiveness is an influential tool.
7. Practice Relaxation Skills
Anger management skills require practicing relaxation abilities as well. When you are really very angry take a few deep breathes, imagine a scene that you want to visit and perhaps is relaxing indeed. You can try to listen to music or pray to God. Yoga, meditation are also other tools of relaxation skills.
When you are aggravated or you are really very angry, please do not harm others. The outcome can be dangerous and you can end up in prison. So better to keep your anger in control and act tactfully.

Gone are the days when a shop owner could lock up the door to the store and head home to their personal life. To many small to midsize business owners today, work is life. Or at least the two intermingle enough that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. The work computer handles all personal and company business. Email all likely runs through one account. Even social media accounts may blend when you save and post information and articles that have to do with your livelihood.
Though we can't put more hours into the day, perhaps we can try to make a bigger separation between work and personal life to ease the stress and give ourselves a break from the daily grind.
Levo provides a list of seven tips for improving work/life balance. An important one is managing your time at work. Of course, we like to think we all do this well, however, in a smaller business, workers wear more than one hat and can get bogged down with tasks. A good way to push through those tasks, though, is to prioritize them and check them off as you go. Several apps are available for mobile devices that help you create and save to-do-lists, including:
But the top recommendation for maintaining a decent work/life balance is to make time to disconnect—this includes taking vacation time. When you take a coffee break, sit and enjoy the moment. In the evenings, be sure to know when to stop working and when to spend time with family and friends. And at least once a year, take a vacation—even if that just means being home, off the clock, and away from the computer.

Ancestry & Early Life
Mary Ann Doidge was born 11 April 1837 at Brayshop, Stokeclimsland. Cornwall, England. She was the daughter of John Doidge, Jr. and Mary Nepean Doidge.
Her father was a merchant and provided well for his family. They had hired help to do the heavy housework, but the children were taught to help about the house. Mary learned to cook and sew under her mother's guidance. She was given a fair education. Her parents attended their Church of England, and Mary was taught to read the Bible and recite the catechisms. As a child she loved to roam the green, rolling hills and gather nuts and wild berries. She also loved the wild flowers that grew in profusion over the countryside. May Day was always celebrated in England. The people would gather on the green, bringing their picnic and May baskets and joining in dancing and braiding the Maypole. They always crowned a May Queen with a wreath of flowers.
The family was always taught to honor their beloved queen of England, who was Queen Victoria. Mary Ann told of seeing the Queen riding in her carriage drawn by six white horses. There was a law that no one in England should drive a carriage drawn by six white horses. But some, to show their daring, did so but were not caught.
Conversion to the Church
When Mary Ann was about twenty years old, she attended a funeral of a relative. As she stood by the grave in the cemetery, she heard beautiful singing. It came from another group at a graveside near by. She moved closer that she might hear the words they were singing. The words were very strange but gave her a great thrill, for they spoke of things she had never heard of. The song was, "Oh, My Father." Now she lingered and listened to the sermon. Afterward, inquiring who these men were who taught such doctrine, she learned that they were Mormons. She knew that her parents would not permit her to have anything to do with them if they found out about it. She went secretly to their meetings, and, when she learned that they traveled without purse or scrip, she gave them money from her own allowance.
Finally, after careful deliberation, she asked to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was aware that she would meet bitter opposition from her parents, but she knew that she had found the true church.
Her mother pled with tearful eyes, and her father angrily threatened that he would throw her out of his house and home if she did not give up this fanatical idea. Mary Ann was sorrowful, but could not give up her convictions. She was baptized 4 August 1857. She left her home with only the clothes she was wearing.
Mary Ann went to Devonport, Devonshire, a near town, and procured work to sustain herself. This must have broken her mother's heart, for she died of a stroke in a few years.
Marriage & Family
At Devonport, Mary Ann met and married a man who had just joined the Church. He was Joseph Barker. He had lived in Leeds, Yorkshire, England all his life, but for some reason unknown to us, had recently come to Devon. (Note by Marie Dean Speakman: Mother later added a note in her Book of Remembrance, that "The 1861 Census states that Joseph and Mary Ann Doidge Barker lived on Princess Street and that Joseph Barker was then in the Queens Royal Army, and that he was listed on his marriage license as a 'Gunner in the Royal Artillery'.) His father had died in 1857, December 16th, at Leeds; also, two sisters died there, one on 29 Nov. 1854 and one 12 Feb. 1860. He had only one brother left, who was named John, and his mother.
Mary Ann married Joseph Barker 11 June 1860 at Stonehouse, Devonshire, England. Joseph's mother was named Sarah, formerly Sarah Pickersgill. His father was Henry Barker. Their first child was born 24 April 1861. She was named Sarah Jane (my mother).
Journey to Zion
They had a great desire to join the Saints in America, but Joseph earned barely enough at his trade as a tailor to make a scant living. They could save little to help toward such a journey. Mary decided to wean her own baby to a bottle and she went out as a wet nurse to another mother's child to get money to help for money for the trip.
In May 1862, they left England for America in a sailing vessel. It took six weeks to make the trip. Sarah, their baby, became seriously ill on the journey over the seas. Her mother sorrowed that she perhaps had become ill on account of being weaned so young. Through God's kindness, she lived and became happy and playful again. The baby tossed the only comb the family had over the side of the ship into the ocean.
Upon reaching America, Mary wrote lovingly to her parents whom she missed so much. The answer to her letter was stunning to her for it was from her father. He told her that her mother had died of a stroke while she was on her way over the ocean. In unforgiving words he said, "Your mother died of a broken heart. It is you who caused her to die." Mary was broken-hearted, not only at her mother's death, but also at her father's unforgiving spirit.
The problem of finding a way to cross the plains to Utah next confronted them. Joseph found a way to go by driving a team of oxen with a load for a man, but there was not room for Mary Ann and the baby to go along. They decided he had better go and they would follow later. He could prepare a place for them to go when they reached the valley.
Three weeks later, Mary Ann found an opportunity to send her belongings and her baby on a wagon, by agreeing to do the washing for the captain of the company and his family along the way. There was not room for her to ride, so she walked almost all the way across the plains to Salt Lake City. This was in 1862. This took three months for the journey. Her girlhood experience had not prepared her for such hardships, but her faith kept her spirits up so she bore it uncomplainingly, though the days seemed endless and the sun bore down hot upon her head. Her only pair of shoes became worn to shreds. By nighttime she was so weary that she slept soundly upon her solitary comforter upon the ground. It was of evenings, when the trying day was ended, when the company gathered around the campfire and held their evening song and prayer, that Mary's faith and strength was renewed to carry on for each day.
One day had been especially difficult and she felt discouraged and weary. That morning she washed the clothes of the captain's family as well as baby's and her own. She did so by washing by hand in the stream as they stopped near. She had learned to rub her hands together rapidly in scrubbing the clothes to clean them, as there was little time for the task. The clothes were carried in the wagon wet until they made the noon camp. Then she stretched a line between two wagons and hung the clothes to dry while the others prepared food to eat. The others ate before she was ready and Mary was very faint and weak. The captain said they must travel on as there was not sufficient water for the teams. Mary Ann had to gather in the wet clothes and plod on without eating.
In the evening when they made camp, she hung her clothes once more to dry, then began to help prepare the meal. She was very faint and weak, and more than usually discouraged. She heard one of the brethren swearing at his horses. This hurt her, for she had been taught that swearing was a sin. She thought of her mother whom she would never see again in this life, and she began to wonder if she was really sure that she would see her in a future life. Discouragement clouded her mind as she wondered what the future held for her in a strange new country.
The call came to prayer, and she started to cross the circle to kneel. As she did so, she fell unconscious to the ground. Those about her said they worked over her many minutes before she recovered and regained consciousness. The women said. "Oh, Mary Ann, you gave us such a fright." Later, as she told of her experience, she said: "I have been in such a beautiful place, and was very happy. I met my dead relatives and friends, and a dear girl friend who had died a few years ago led me by the hand, and we visited with many who were studying as in a school. I was contented to remain there, but I was brought back here and I saw my baby and all of you working over me. I knew then I must come back and fulfill my mission here on earth. This incident renewed Mary Ann's faith and she never again doubted that there is a future life, and she knew that progression continued after death.
Settling in Zion
After reaching Utah and being reunited with her husband, they were taken into the home of some kind Saints, the Moody family. They remained there until they were called to go to help settle Parowan in Southern Utah. Here they struggled to gain a living, as there was not much opportunity for Joseph to do tailoring in the new settlement. He went out and did farm labor for others and herded sheep or any work he could obtain. Mary Ann did washing and received for pay a little flour, or a quart of molasses, or anything they could eat. Then Joseph began hauling freight to Pioche, Nevada, and Mary was left with the care of the children much of the time alone.
About every two or three years they were blessed with a new baby daughter until they had six girls. Their names were Sarah, Mary, Emma, Catherine (Kate), Ella, and Dora (named Georgina Madora). All were blue eyed like their father and their mother. They were all born in Parowan.
On 25 November 1872, Joseph and Mary Ann were sealed in the endowment house in Salt Lake City. While there, they bought their first cook stove and a Howe sewing machine. Previous to this, their cooking had been done over a fire in the fireplace, and all sewing was done by hand.
Joseph finally obtained several cows so his family could have milk and butter. Now he needed a team of horses so he could freight with them. He sold two of the cows to buy the team and help pay for them. Mary, the second daughter, felt very bad and asked, "Why did you sell the cows. I prayed and got them for you and I soon would have had you a team of horses."
Joseph was hauling freight to Pioche, Nevada, to the mines, felt that he needed to stay on there and asked Mary Ann to join him here. She asked counsel from her Bishop about this, and he advised against it because he thought it would not be a good place to take her six girls, so Mary Ann and Joseph became legally separated.
School Teacher
It was very hard for Mary Ann to care for her children alone under the hardships of pioneer life. She started a school in her own home. She was one of the early teachers of Parowan. In the evenings she held a writing school for adults. She set her own copies after the night class was over to be ready to begin early the next day. In the day she taught children to read and write and do arithmetic sums. For remuneration, she accepted anything that would help sustain her family: wood, leather for shoes, wool for clothing. She and her daughters learned to spin and card the wool. In the fall when the wheat was harvested, she and the children went into the fields and gleaned wheat. They ground wheat in a hand mill and made their mush and bread. As soon as the girls could work at all she let them go to work for other families to help make their own living.
The Girls Go to Work
Sarah (my mother) went to Washington, Iron County, to work in the factory there, weaving. She contracted chill and fever, and had to come home and was ill for sometime. She next went to work at Minersville, where the iron works were.
Little Cassie went to work for the Bishop's families. Bishop Dame had three wives, but no children. They loved Cassie very much and wanted to adopt her. Mary Ann could not consent to give her little daughter away, though she knew she would be well cared for and loved. Cassie stayed with Bishop Dame even after her mother and small children had moved away to Bluff, Utah.
Second Marriage
Mary Ann finally became weary of struggling to support her family alone, and married James H. Dunton, a man who already had a wife and family. He told her he would help support her children. Mr. Dunton was almost 70 years old when she married him. She was 41 years old then. They lived at Paragoonah, Utah. To them was born a son —Mary Ann's first son. He was named John Harvey Dunton.
San Juan
They were soon called by Brigham Young to go to help settle the San Juan country. They were to settle at Bluff City. James Dunton went with the first company that went there, and built a place for Mary to come to. The people at The Fort where they were to stay the first winter were almost destitute for food. When Mr. Dunton left to go back for his family, he left what food he had telling the others, "I have my gun, so I won't starve."
James Dunton took Mary Ann and her three youngest children back to the Fort Montezuma. They left the four older girls to work for families of Parowan. They traveled in an old wagon and were with the second company that went down through the Hole in the Rock to pass on to the San Juan. This was a long narrow crevice in the steep rock wall. In many places it had to be widened with picks and hammers to be able to pass. The marks on the rocks, which were made as the wagons passed through, are still visible. The descent was so steep that the wheels of the wagons had to be blocked by chains and ropes. Men had to hold fast to the back of the wagons so they would not tip forward onto the horses.
The Duntons had one balky horse, which refused to pull a steep grade. They had to fall behind the other travelers and camp alone one night. In the morning they unloaded part of their things to lighten the load and make several trips up the hill. That day, as they traveled alone, they were come upon by a band of Indians. They came whooping and yelling, so the children crawled down in the wagon and covered their heads with quilts. Mr. Dunton was a friend to the Indians, and they soon went on their way without any harm. By the next night, the company became worried about the Dunton family and sent men back to help them. They traveled on safely together.
They crossed the Colorado River by driving the wagon and four-horse team on to a ferryboat. The children were frightened, but all passed safely.
They spent the first winter living in a one-room log house at Montezuma Fort, on the San Juan River east of Bluff. The fort was built in a square, the houses all facing inside and touching each other. The children played inside the fort. They had little food and the children were sent to gather leaves from the grease- wood for greens.
During the winter, the men made large frame waterwheels, to lift the water from the San Juan River to the irrigation ditches. But the spring floods came and washed the wheels and ditches away. Many became discouraged and left the Bluff settlement. Mr. Dunton held some stock in a Coop store and each year received a small dividend from it.
Mancos, Colorado
The Dunton family decided to move to Colorado. Mr. Dunton found employment at a sawmill north of Durango for a time. Then the next fall they moved to Mancos on a farm. Mr. James H. Dunton was the first Presiding Elder of the Mancos Branch. Mary and some of the girls later were teachers in Sunday School and Mary was a Secretary and President of the Relief Society during those early years there.
There was conflict in the family on account of Mary's children to support. Mr. Dunton went back to Utah to Paragoonah to his other family and remained there.
During Mary's hardships, she did not complain, but was thankful for health and work to sustain herself and family. She corresponded with her two sisters in England and, though they always disapproved of her religion, they wrote friendly letters. One of her brothers, who became wealthy in Australia and later went back to England, offered to give her means to take her and family back to England and support them if she would give up her "foolish belief." Mary would not sacrifice her precious testimony.
Mary Ann's four older daughters came from Parowan to Mancos to live near their mother. They obtained work and helped support the family there. Soon all were married but her only son, John Dunton, who remained with her and was a great comfort and support to her in her old age. He never married. They obtained a fine dairy herd and prospered through hard work and good management. She made cheese for many years and sold to the stores and private families.
Spiritual Life
Mary Ann loved to read and each evening after the work was done, she read the scriptures or a good magazine to her son and her grandchildren, if they were at her home. They were there often, as when she was older she needed their assistance in her household duties. She always held their family prayers, doing the praying herself. She always paid a full tithing.
Later Life
She had many grandchildren who loved and honored her. All of her children lived to have families or old age. In 1909 she came to live with her oldest daughter at Redmesa, Colorado. She was fond of her son-in-law, Sarah's husband, William McDonald Devenport, and had built several homes near theirs wherever they lived. She was ill for months from dropsy and died 28 June 1910, and was buried in the Redmesa [Colorado] Cemetery.
Joseph Barker's Later Life
Joseph Barker, Mary Ann's first husband, had stayed in Eureka, Nevada, and asked his wife to come to him there as he felt that he could not make a living in Utah. The Bishop had counseled against it on account of it being in mining towns. She obeyed the Bishop's counsel, but her husband and she became separated through it, and he set up a tailor shop in Eureka, Nevada. On October 29, 1896, he was burned to death in his tailor shop. It is thought that the fire started from coals he carried in from an election bonfire.
The paper reported that he was a good and quiet man who was respected and that he went by the nickname of "Mormon Joe" in that gentile mining town. Mary Ann never spoke of him with bitterness and, when she died, said she wished to have him for her companion in her future life.

... and this is from the top but you don't see so much from there as it's flat. It was pretty amazing being up there though, with not a soul around for miles. We sat among the tussocks to shelter a little from the roaring norwester, ate cake (what's life without cake!) and drank lots of water.
I absolutely love the way new fern fronds look and can't stop myself from taking far too many pictures of them.
Christmas was a very happy family affair this year - all of us managed to get together for Christmas dinner - what a racket!!! This is what I gave friends for Christmas this year - I used Marg Low's gorgeous covered coathanger pattern, and made them up in Tanya Whelan fabrics. Cute ay!
And this is Christmas night - glorious sunset over Geraldine.
Boxing Day saw us walking again - a big long walk up Orari Gorge in the morning...
...and another long one along the Waihi River in the afternoon.
I know this is a ''bitsy'' blog - it's what I've been up to over the past week - but there has been some stitching in amongst the walking and Christmas and New Years things as well - a Brenda Ryan sweetie, some more of the Gingham Girls and block 3 of Vero's Mystery Quilt (that's been a challenge to put it mildly). I'll do a show and tell in a few days when a couple of them are hopefully finished. Now I'm off to have cake for supper - fresh Banana cake - my favourite!
Happy New Year
and lots of stitching

Turkey arrests 32 suspected Anonymous members
Eight of those arrested are said to be minors, group is protesting against planned internet filters
Thirty-two people believed to belong to the hacker group Anonymous have been arrested in Turkey, following the group's denial of service attacks on Turkish government websites in protest against planned internet filtering, according to the BBC.
Members of the group were arrested following a complaint by the Turkish directorate of telecommunications, whose website was hit by Anonymous.
These arrests follow the recent arrests of three suspected Anonymous members in Spain.
The Turkish government is planning to deploy a system which forces internet users in the country to sign up for one of four filtering packages on 22nd August.
The country's government says this is designed to protect the youth from inappropriate web content, but critics such as the Anonymous group says that the filtering system is parallel to censorship and will be used to monitor web users and crack down on anti-government protestors.
Turkish residents have been taking to the streets to protest the planned filtering system and on 10th June, Anonymous joined the protests, knocking out several government websites using a Low Orbit Ion Cannon (Loic) DDoS attack, which bombards targets with so much data that they become overwhelmed.
The arrests may have been possible to a flaw in the Loic attack, which can allow the perpetrators of the attack to be traced.
The arrests were made in 12 cities across Turkey and eight of those arrested are said to be minors.
After the arrests Anonymous took down the Turkish police website for several hours in protest.

أبو كمال
No one should be managing the Internet, no one should censor the internet.
The Internet is much bigger than officials policies and filtering, and it goes beyond their imagination and control.
We all should stand to liberate the internet from the sinners hands that does the sins throw it consequences on the Internet...

So I see that Perez Hilton, the worlds worst celebrity blogger was assaulted at the weekend. I can't say I am surprised about that. I am surprised that it is the first time in 5 years though!
The man makes a living on being rude, ignorant, horrid and spiteful to rock stars, pop stars, movie stars and wannabes on his blog.. He started out 5 years ago commenting about these people and the lives they live and the alleged debauchery and now he has turned into what he hated originally. Frankly his treatment of Miley Cyrus (16 years old for gods sake) borders on bullying.
I see from his original tweets that he said Will.I.Am and his security assaulted him. Somehow after this "horrific" assault, he managed to twitter to his adoring public...
Strangely, some time later he changed his story and it is now alleged that Polo Molina (he manages Will.I.Am) assaulted Perez Hilton.
Anyway, Will.I.Am released a video statement refuting the first round of allegations, Perez then followed up with his own video, which is quite frankly hysterically funny.
Now I don't condone violence at all. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I wouldn't hurt a fly (and I'll fecking beat the shit out of anyone who says otherwise), but if you are going to deliberately try to wind up someone by calling them a fag and a faggot to their face, then you should expect payback.
One final thing. Now I have had my fair share of punches to the eye, both deliberate and accidental. They generally involved copious amounts of swelling and bruising. Now bruising can be covered up by make up, but swelling? Well that is hard to hide, but Perez seems to have found the solution.
Whilst it is quite obvious that I am not a fan of Perez Hilton, I feel it only fair to also point out that I am not a fan of Will.I.Am or the Black Eyed Peas. It should be noted however, that I definitely would do Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, and not just for celebrity value!

By Ollie Irish
No no no no. No.
"Ian Wright will be one of the voices of Absolute Radio's football coverage when it begins broadcasting live Premier League games next month.
"Wright, who fronted the drivetime show on TalkSport, a rival commercial station, will host a 90-minute post-match analysis show on Absolute Radio at 5pm on Saturdays.
"Jim Proudfoot will commentate on the station's live Saturday afternoon games, to be broadcast on its digital radio station Absolute Radio Extra as well as its national AM service and online.
"Russ Williams will present Rock & Roll Football, a combination of music and goals, on the main Absolute Radio digital station and on FM in London between 3pm and 5pm, as well as fronting a 90-minute build-up show on Absolute Radio Extra."
Via Guardian
Only one of these things sounds good, and that's Proudfoot's Saturday afternoon show. Proudfoot, who has worked for Talksport and ESPN, among others, is a first-rate commentator and I'm sure I'll check out his show when it kicks off.
I will, of course, treat Wright's 'analysis' (ho ho) show if it was a particularly virulant STD and therefore to be avoided with the widest of wide berths. When there are so many good football journalists out there, why pander to the lowest common denominator? Wright is truly an appalling broadcaster, as you'd think Absolute should know.
Grrrr. The man's a joke without a punchline.
As for the 'music and goals' show, that also sounds like a car crash-in-waiting, or at least like something Alan Partridge would pitch to Tony Hayers.
