Director's Special (Kannada)
Director: Guruprasad
Cast: Rangayana Raghu, Dhananjaya, Vatsala Mohan, Sumithra Devi, Guruprasad
It is possible for an aesthetic director to make every frame special but is it possible for a filmmaker to enliven frames only through dialogues? The kind of challenges can only be met by directors such as Upendra, Yogaraj Bhat and Guruprasad.
While other two blend dialogues with visuals to pull it off, Guruprasad banks mostly on his powerful dialogues to captivate his audiences. The director of Matha and Eddelu Manjunath again attempts to explore human relations through his characters dialogues in Director's Special.
Guruprasad, who announced film way back in 2009, finally released it in 2013. On watching it, one may wonder why he took so long as there are just four locations at the most. Besides, everything happens in a dingy house where six characters are in a way imprisoned and unveil their evil designs in the process of narration.
The film dwells on how greed overpowers everything else. But it's not homilies and Guruprasad has peppered his message with witty one-liners, Vachanas and Sanskrit verses. As a result the dialogues sound loaded at times.
Guruprasad opens the film with Dhananjaya (both real and reel), an orphan, inviting Panche Shastry (Rangayana Raghu) to be his father seeking love and affection. He also invites assorted characters Vatsala Mohan, Sumithra Devi and Ram, naming them Ramachandra Seethamma, Gayathri and Hanuma. Though he meets all their needs, they plot to bump him off and split the Rs.52-lakh he has earned through some deal. Dhanajaya learns about the conspiracy and ask all the four to fulfil their dream by eliminating him.
At this juncture the plot takes a surprise twist.
Though it is Rangayana Raghu who steals the show with his restrained performance, the new comer Dhanajaya proves his mettle. Clearly, his theatre background works for him.
Pooja Gandhi's 'Kannalli Yest Hottu Nektiya', song provides a 'commercial' relief to the audience. Composer Anup Silin grabs attention through his title song 'Devare Agaadha Ninna Karuneya Kadalu', using only the flute and the violin. Cinematographer Mahendra Simha proves his skill through his tight frames.

The polar vortex got started early this year, winter weather and low temperatures over the nation and there's a freeze warning for our area tonight. Time for soup!
Tonight's soup is beef, I have some pantry staples that pretty much go in all soups. These are canned beans of a variety of kinds, Ro-tel tomatoes which are diced tomatoes and chili peppers with a choice of a variety of heat levels, canned corn which seems to keep its crispness better than frozen, and some kind of grain, usually rice but this time with barley to go with the beef. Frozen Lima beans and sweet peas and fresh carrots and new potatoes to finish it out.
Start out by going through about a pound of stew meat and making sure most of the fat is trimmed off and it's all cut into spoon-sized pieces. Brown it in a large stock pot with a little olive oil. Add about 4 cups of water.
Chop your potatoes and carrots into spoon-size pieces. If your potatoes are a bit tired and soft from being in the veggie drawer too long, you can let them sit in cold water a few minutes to crisp up. Just for fun, I used multicolored heirloom carrots in purple, white and yellow along with the usual orange. I use between a cup and a cup and half of each of these. I also used about half a cup of dried shiitake mushrooms chopped small.
Then, time to get the can opener busy. To reduce sodium, I drain and rinse the beans and drain the corn. This time, I used a can of beef broth for extra flavor. Trader Joe's has some little broth concentrate packets that add a nice bit of flavor but I only have chicken flavor in those.
Then for seasonings, I use a generous handful of dried onion flakes, a teaspoon or so garlic powder and this time some Weber roasted garlic and herb seasoning, and a couple of bay leaves and a few grinds of a sea salt grinder.
Stir, taste, and adjust the salt to your liking.
Add a cup or so of frozen Lima beans and half a cup of rinsed barley, cover and simmer. Stir occasionally, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cook until meat is tender and veggies cooked. Add a cup or so of frozen sweet peas, stir, and serve. Adding the peas now cools the soup a bit to eating temperature and keeps the peas from getting overcooked to mush.
Serve with your favorite crackers, garlic toast or cornbread.

Oh my tears please don't stop!
This is not me. Back then, I had a huge family of people with me in this village.
All was green when all was really Green. Yes.
But at that time, I was young and full of branches, green leaves, and fruits. People found me useful, to get the shadow, eat the fruits. Kids loved to play in swing & sleep on my branches. Those were the golden periods whose memories helps me to stay alive now.
Years passed, I grew old.
Rain stopped its regular visits and made me dry. My friends could not stand it for long and gone. I have withstood this famine. But now I wonder why I did. Had I died with my families, I would not have lived to see my own people leave and abandoning me.
I cry, not because I can no longer provide shades or shelter or fruits.
But for a good reason. For, the tears from me is what still keeping my friendly ants alive and with me. I am worried not for me, but for my friends.
Who will take care of them, once I ran out of tears?
So, oh my tears please don't stop.

I was at lunch today with a few other ThoughtWorks folk. At the end of the meal Chris, George, and I were talking when George mentioned he'd been pondering some stuff with Mocking and Stubbing. George was questioning a suggestion that Mocks should not be used as a way of testing the edges of a system.
I replied along the same lines as my Extract Client Interface post (perhaps a little less eloquently) where I mentioned that writing code with Mocks encourages you to think about roles and interactions with collaborating objects things first, rather than getting buried under the weight of implementing everything in the world. And, perhaps more importantly, if you depend on something else, you've discovered an interface for what the client really needs.
If you do this for the edge of your system, you'll end up discovering an interface that will get implemented with a facade or adapter that lets your code talk to the external system. But how do you test that? Should you never write an interaction-based test for that?
On our way out of the restaurant we carried on talking about these kinds of rules in software development - that you should never mock things you don't own, conditionals are bad, regions are evil. Although there's value in the statements, what's more important is that people think about them. It's like the agile manifesto, nobody says never write documentation, just that working software is valued more.
And, although I neglected to mention it at the time, it occurs to me that a recent experience on my current team is actually quite applicable to what we were talking about.
At present some of the code we're working on integrates with a C++ library provided by another department. Fortunately, it exposes a couple of functions that let us dump it's internal objects into an XML document. So, to test that we interact with the library in the correct way (across multiple function calls - state is maintained in a 'cache' behind everything) we assert on bits of the XML.
We're essentially asserting on the internal state of an external library to ensure the correct interaction, and, when we updated to a new build of the library our build broke rather expectedly. We had an hour or two to fix up the tests when the schema of the XML changed. We'd depended on an external interface that we didn't own and paid the price for testing our integration this way when the external system changed.
But, this same approach to testing (i.e. testing interaction rather than state) has also let us (to a degree) focus on implementing what's important, and drive out what was previously considered a complex, black magic type development effort, into something more understandable and controllable. It's by no means perfect, but as a small step on the way to development nirvana, it'll do.
We might have done something perhaps a little evil, but the techniques and tools we use to discover better ways of writing code have helped us in a situation the rule would otherwise have prevented us. Sure we've had problems because we've been depending on things we don't own, but, that's a small price for the benefit we've gained - a clear step as we divide and conquer our way through.
Rules are important for providing insight into good ways of working. But, it's always important to think and act intelligently. Sometimes things people say are a little over the top, but, they put questions in your head to challenge assumptions. It's no good just looking for that next shiney pattern in a new book, or putting index cards on a wall. Those things may help, but they're not an end, they're a means. The key is intelligence and people (as has already been mentioned) continually adapting, learning, and improving.
There's no such thing as a rule to rule them all. Well, except maybe that rule :)

Hair Loss Affecting Your Self-esteem? Get Hair Transplant in Mexico
The article further adds that the leading cause of hair loss is male pattern baldness (MPB), a condition caused in large part by genetics. In MPB, a man's hair follicles shrinks until they can no longer sprout hair. Oftentimes, the only recourse is to get hair transplant surgery, a process wherein healthy follicles are grafted to areas that can no longer grow hair. However, the cost of such a procedure can be prohibitive, leading many sufferers of MPB to get hair transplant in Mexico instead. This is part of the growing trend called medical tourism where patients travel abroad to get treatment for a considerably lower price.

For the newest Anna Polina videos we have a great gallery of photos and videos with her, while she is self pleasuring for a new sex video casting. You will get to see how detached she is while she is stripping in front of the cameras! She is incredible and she looks incredible, just like the chick from wank it off galleries, showing off those rounded boobies and that nice brownish nipples of hers! I bet you are craving to see her just the way she was born, bare skinned and fabulous! She is going to mess around with her nasty tits for a while, until she will get more horny and in the mood for something more.
The fact that she is doing this in front of a camera is not disturbing her, on the contrary, she loves it more like that, when other people are looking at her while she is having fun! She will also remove her panties, cause she wants to do a lot more than that. She would like to touch her warm pussy as well, ending up with a nice and welcomed finger fucking, just the way she likes to do most of all! Have a great time with Anna and enjoy her masturbation session!

Surface-standing water can be a problem if it puddles near an area close to your basement. The water can eventually seep into the basement and cause a lot of damage to the foundation. One of the things you might do to solve the problem is place a shallow French drain system in the puddling area. The drain channels surface water to another location in your yard. Here are more things to know about a shallow drainage system.
What's a Shallow French Drain?
When rainwater doesn't soak completely into the ground, it tends to puddle on the surface of it. Usually, the water dries out when the sun comes out. But if surface water doesn't dry out, it sits and makes the area soggy. The standing water can also attract insects or run off into your basement over time. A shallow French drainage system gets rid of the water.
Unlike a traditional French drain, which requires you to dig a deep trench into the ground, a shallow drain lies closer to the surface. The shallow trench is usually 2 feet deep and a little over a foot across. A traditional French drain sits several feet below ground. Like a traditional French drain, a shallow French drain typically begins at the highest point near the standing water and travels downward. This placement allows water to seep inside the trench and move away from the basement and toward a place on the property that can utilize it, such as a vegetable garden.
Now that you know what a shallow French drain is and why you need one, it's time get one installed.
Can You Install a Shallow French Drain Yourself?
You can try to install a shallow drainage system yourself, but there are several factors you need to consider first. For instance, if the area of standing water seems too large, complicated or time-consuming to dig, you might want to hire a professional to install a drainage system for you. You should also understand that if there are obstacles near or around the puddling water, such as a tree, concrete driveway or walking path, you'll probably need to dig up these things or find a way to install your trench around them. If you don't know exactly where to dig, you may end up damaging your property.
In addition, you also need to consider the materials you need for your shallow drain. For example, most drainage systems require the use of perforated pipes to help the water drain. If you don't purchase pipes in the right lengths or sizes, water may build up inside the trench instead of travel through it. One of your best options is to have a professional contractor install the drain.

I was looking for a new challenge. And they were looking for someone "that would not give up" (Interviewers words, not mine).
The challenge I was looking for came in a form of a plant closing. I had done one previously, so part of the job was familiar to me. The real challenge came as to where this unit was. In the middle of a drug dealer neighborhood.
Happens, not that unusual. In order to save costs, many factories are located in the middle of poor districts, where the rental costs are smaller and blue collars are easy to find. Most of the people that live in those areas are hard working, there is always a small percentage that enjoys the "easy life". Or the "glamorous side of living". Or "feeling empowered because is holding a big gun". The list of excuses goes on and on, but the outcome is the same: they work with drugs because they choose to.
Anyway, management was concerned that by closing the factory, the situation would escalate quickly, because this would represent 200 "families" without a job, most of them single income dependent.
For the first time in my professional life, money was not an issue. As long as we could run things smoothly, I would be able to use every penny of a very fat budget.
The thing that most people tend to forget, is that money is a short term solution. Once you run out of it, or the expenses are higher, the frustration will come back again, sometimes even stronger. And what should be a solution, becomes a problem.
It was clear to me that we needed to find a long term solution for that matter. And I had 6 months to make that happen.
On top of this, output had to remain the same throughout the process. There was no desire to fire anyone or lessen productivity at all until it came time to close the factory.
In short, I had 3 risks I needed to address:
Long term solution…what do those people needed the most? A pay check. Something that would make sure they could pay the bills by end of the day.
First we did an internal analysis of the manpower. What knowledge/experience/background our people had? What were their strengths looking their current role.
Second phase was to look what the labor market was looking for. What were companies nearby hiring? Could we offer our manpower to them? I listed and called all the companies that were hiring to understand what they were searching. How the perfect candidate should look like. What their main concerns were. I spoke with colleagues as well as production managers.
First I was treated with suspicion. It is not every day that a person calls to ask HR what do they need and does not ask for something in return.
I came to the point of asking if they would wait a couple of months to get a ready-to-go person for that position. I asked about compensation, benefits…all much needed information for my feedback to our employees here. I didn´t knew at the beginning if it would be an easy task or how hard it could get. All I knew was that we needed to find those people some perspective in order to avoid major issues when the closing was due.
I also knew that some of our employees would have other plans, like opening their own business or just enjoy their retirement (5% of our team was due to retirement).
It became clear that we needed to offer them 3 possibilities for transitioning:
And we had some general issues that needed to be handled, such as health plan, financial planning (what to do with the severance payment) and emotional support during times of changes (how to handle the pressure of what would come)
In the meantime, our head office was trying to convince our management team to make the announcement per video.
I still remember that 3 am meeting in the office. No coffee (and boy, I am no human being without coffein). 6 people sitting around a speaker and listening to the CEOs idea of doing it by using a big screen and a projector. The local CEO looked than at me and asked: "What do you think we should do?"
"I think we should do it live. People need to feel they are respected. They need to feel that this was no easy decision and that you are suffering as much as they are. They need to feel that you are all in the same boat."
And the voice came through the speaker
"Are you willing to be responsible in case something goes wrong with it?"
"Yes, I am. Because I know nothing will."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes sir, if the local management agrees, I have no problem in being responsible for that."
So, we had the how and the when…the missing point was the "what"
Back into the office, I had already enough information on our people´s capabilities and what companies were looking for. It became time for a cross check and the next step of the plan covering the gaps.
I requested a meeting with the local technical school to understand how they could help us in that venture. I knew they had the training program, but I needed to keep people onboard and producing during the whole transition period. How would I make that possible and offer them training if not using our own facilities for that matter?
Part of the office area would be emptied as soon as we made the announcement, so I could use the free space to create classrooms for the trainings. The practical part could be done using our production area after work (Sundays or evening)
It was also clear to me that no matter how good you are, if you are not able to put in on a piece of paper, nobody would ask for an interview. So Resumee writing also needed to be added to the action plan.
Day of announcement was arriving and I finally got clearance to communicate my team of what would happen. We were supposed to make the announcement in the afternoon, so that people could leave and be back for the individual session with HR next day.
Management made the announcement. And while the left, I stood there with my team to give a brief description of what would happen. 2 things were crucial for the success of the meeting:
We agreed that the announcement was enough information for the group and that a brief summary of what would happen over the next few days should be delivered also on paper, so that people could kept that information, in case they were too shocked with the news.
People need time to process things. Especially bad news. It is worthless to give them any information if they have not let the first information sink in. Sometimes it is more productive to approach an issue on steps. So, this is what we did.
On the next day, we had group meetings with the employees in which we explained how the "outplacement" project would work, as well as the other initiatives. Lots of questions came up. No anger, since they felt they have been treated with care and respect.
Some people might disagree, but in my experience, respect has always been the key success factor. At any given time.
After the group meetings we had individual meetings with each employee, so that we could go over it´s severance package, health care issues (we had some long term treatment patients and chronic diseases that would require special attention), what they were expecting as next steps and…not the traditional approach, but yes, we listened and supported them with all our attention. I still feel proud of what my girls did those days…because it was the purest essence of Human Resources: taking care of people.
After those initial days, life came back to its normality. People were working as usual and having classes after work. We had 5 classrooms with 20 people each capacity. It was not perfect, but the maintenance team did a great job. Then the phone rang. It was the community "secretary". He wanted to have a meeting with me.
He had heard of what we were doing for the people and came to ask me if I could open the training for the rest of the community. Management saw no problem with that as long as we did not spent extra money with it. Classes were paid by teacher and not participant, so we were also able to offer that to those people who lived close by.
Two weeks later, the HR Coordinator asked to have a meeting with the Industrial Director and myself.
"The workers are asking if you would agree if they organize a "farewell party". They want a last happy gathering before going different ways."
Of course, we brought that to the management and got the approval for it. If they wanted a happy occasion, we would make that happen.
Last day came. Barbecue was scheduled to start at noon and buses would leave our premises at 11.
The industrial director came into my office with tears in his eyes.
"They are cleaning their working space."
I went downstairs and saw it: people were sweeping the floor and taking the dust of shelfs.
The building would be destroyed and people were still working and doing what they were supposed to do till the very last minute. Talk about commitment, talk about being there.
Final Outcome
We budgeted 2 Mio Euros, 1 only for legal expenses. Not one single labor claim was filed. 80 % of the workforce was rehired, 100% of those who applied for outplacement. EUR 50,000 were spent with training. Orders were delivered within expected timeframe and we were able to build a 3 months inventory that would cover for the start-up phase in another state.
Total savings of 950,000 Euros.

How to Start a Nonfiction BookGetting a non-fiction book started
Stage One
I' ve released a side issue this weeks - a novel I hadn't intended to create, but in less than a months to try some things. It was motivating to me to write because a group of my Facebook buddies were promoting together production and timing magazines.
Thought it would be a good test to see if you could really make a living this way, to see if I could make something reasonably respectable on a subject I'm not particularly interested in in a month's timeframe, and to make an increment. It would also be a particular challenge, not only because of the fact that timemanagement / productiveness is already a full market with many new publications, but also because at least 10 other large-platform writers would simultaneously publish / promote their work.
I' m ending the script. I' ve begun with the frontpage. I am firmly convinced that a great front page is almost more important than the contents of the album. It can' be too awful. It' not my best, but it is something, and it could be a little better than a heap of other times managements manuals available on-line that aren't particularly useful.
It' s possible that my review will not be astonishing, but that's okay - this is not a test of whether I can make the biggest productiveness record in the world, it's a test of whether I can post something good enough to take a stake in this beloved world. I have noticed that the advantages of reading like this one, which are contrary to good judgment, are increasing.
Stopping time: Superhuman miracles of coping with times that increase productivity and motivation. So, I also signed in to my Author Marketing Club bankroll, which offers these opportunities: However, for AMC I had to include the detail for each page - NOT a good use of my free play at all, and definitely something I will be outsourcing from now on.
They need it. You should ask for your review a few days in advance. No. Before I even began my free ad campaigns, I should have had at least 10 ratings. I didn't want to waste so much of my life on this one. It was also #1 in the free ledgers for my classes over Thanksgiving Weekends, probably not an easy masterpiece.
About that time I got my first 2-star rating; it essentially mentioned all my anxieties - that I had rashly worked on the job, that I hadn't worked on enough, that the contents were mainly fillers and down. It is interesting that the expert begins to analyse his own behaviour: I' m trying to find out why I felt I had to check this, because it's seldom that I reviewed a textbook that I didn't like.
and I don't like saying evil things about textbooks in public. Perhaps it was the promises of the song and how far the script seems to be from them. Perhaps it was the fact that I was spending my spare minute to read this volume that I could have done something prolific.
I' ve learnt that I probably can't get a volume out every single week. I' ll have to go over this one more time to see how I can make it better. I' m all for oeuvre area product providing measure, but I also knowing I don't fitting poverty to kind an actor $25 an time period by cheating scholar... I poverty to kind a large indefinite quantity medium of exchange and organic process a adult assumption, and for that I condition superior degree product.
Before December 1, I converted my BuckBooks to 99 cents and took part in a BuckBooks action. I also sent an e-mail to my mailing address where I told them about the action and that all these great timesheets would be sold for 99 cents. Though I could have proven it for the free product, but I showed if I paid for the commercial I should at least try and make my medium of exchange back, so I used it to boot the operation. 99 cents.
However I used Bit.ly this year to create my own Amazon links: Again, these things are not what I would normally recomend for product commerce or a product beginning, because I don't deliberation they are precise booming, but I'm choice to try them out. For about $50, I made a profit and bought 155 99-cent copies.
Mysells were probably finished by this 2star resume, but that's great - if it wasn't there, I'd have gotten more of them just like it (the 2 asterisk resume will help readers expectation correctly adjusted, so folks who buy it anyway won't post another low resume because they don't believe how disappointed).
That' s how you start a product, but now the actual marketin' begins. We' re going to have to keep adding new transport to the text. I' ve put part of the volume on medium. Would have done 5 great guesthouse posts items during my launch, and then 1 or 2 a month on about 10 items a month for my blogging ( "If I was just bloging to be selling books).
Really, your start should be enough. I' ve got my copy in the hand of 2,500 readers, and 150 more who have even bought it. Had my work blown them away completely, if it had been the response to all their troubles and if it had transformed their life forever, they would have posted commentaries or share it with everyone they know.
Instead, my novel was smart at best and a little interesting - at best a disappointment and a complete wastage. When your work is just "bleh", it won't be a best seller. They could market it further, promote it further, spend more cash and hopefully hardly cover their own loss, but if you don't get this surge of enthusiasm, it won't be happening (unless for some reasons you've attracted the bad readers).
However, if you got off to a good start and don't get the response you want, the result must probably be better. At the other end, if you have tried a start, but no one has your books download or purchased, then you probably have a issue with your covers designing, selling copy, or not enough ratings.
I' ve been working on my script for a few hundred bucks (if you paid for artwork, edit and reformatting, it would be well over $1000!) and I've only earned $50, even with a fairly good start. 99, the franchise will probably keep selling one or two a days and earn about $50 a months ($600 a year).
But having a good promise but little is not good for my name. There are some good things, so I'm sure I can fix them and make them good enough to make folks feel good, but having a poor work is a chance I shouldn't have taken.
It is not profitable to publish such a book. But some of the ledgers I'm working on will be really fantastic. It only makes sence to publish non-fiction if you have a whole doze. That is when the revenue begins to sum up, and when you write good booklets, you begin to grow a fans bottom.
I would have seen much better results if I had made a similar start with a para-normal romanticism (as I will soon).

It's difficult to imagine how four young adults with such different backgrounds find each other on a level that would become second to none. However, the beginning of the book confused me a tad and I found the pace lacking in that something I needed to keep my attention. Saying that, when their stories started to meld together, I was hooked! Personal reasons bring them together in unusual surroundings. Maybe I'm living in a cloud, but I sincerely hope that everyone that needs to vent their fears, feelings and doubts have the opportunity to be able to go to a place-haven as is Dear Life's project. The character development is really well-thought-out by the author. In fact, I was quite taken aback by their controversial traits and loved their sassy banter, discussions and advice to one another. Now then, whether they listen and take note is another story! Each of them have a task to carry out. It's not complicated, oh no—it's far much more than that! If you've had the opportunity of seeing any of this book's teasers, you'll find them on our blog post and understand how they release their pent-up emotions. And folks, they're so damn original and so freakin' touching.
I still can't get Carter Crawford out of my mind. I adored his sarcasm, broodiness and hated his selfishness. He turned me around his little finger with a shameful ease and weaved his way into my heart. Talk about rebellious isn't in it. He's the bad boy! The lad who had no wish whatsoever to integrate but needed to for reasons to be divulged. He's got a huge chip on his shoulder, blames all and sundry for his problems and can't see further than his nose. Until… her!
"I'm Carter, and life emasculated me in every which way."
"Care to explain?"
"Nah, I'm good."
While writing this review, mentioning Daisy brings a huge smile to my face. She makes the sun shine even when the horizon is black. She is my heroine. Never have I experienced such a positively innocent soul like her. Since she's lived a sheltered life; her social skills are non-existent, her archaic dress sense not to be taken seriously, her dialogue, hindered. Within her obliged group of companions, she gains respect and concern. But her go get it attitude melted my heart! She wants to experience life, takes the bull by the horns regardless of the consequences. And did I cheer her on or what!
"I know how you feel, snowflake, wanting that freedom."
I grieved alongside Hollyn up to a certain point. Her story is a sad one since she doesn't want to let go of a devastating past and at such a young age. No-one should have to experience such heartbreak. Nonetheless, my patience with her was at times, thin. I had trouble getting inside her shoes though and had no wish to be in her position. This sounds awfully cruel on my part but her continuous daily sufferance after such a long time, wore me out. Jace's cajoling gave her no option to open up. Then I began to understand why she ached so much for what couldn't be.
"Grief is hard, exposing yourself to it and therefore experiencing it even harder."
Jace is special. He's the guy next door your mum would love you to bring home. He's between a rock and a hard place and there doesn't seem to be a solution to his problem. He only has one… or maybe two, but he'll try his damnedest to solve them. What I loved about Jace was how he confronted his issues head on and wasn't scared to do so. He is a player of the best kind. Fair and worthy of being heard.
"We're honest with each other, if anything. Tell me what's going on."
It was a pleasure meeting all of them and observe their journey for a better life. They're in the thick of it whether they like it or not. Four letters, four opinions, four contrasting characters are guided by a gutsy lady and a half which I am sure you will invest in regardless of her bolshie ways.
"Be kind, be courageous, and keep moving forward. Keep proving your existence, day by day Prove it."
I can't tell you how hard I fell for Carter. His letters were perfectly him. Daisy! She blinking well blew my socks off! Hollyn and Jace—yes, they're important to the story's plot, but they didn't get under my skin as much as their friends did. Maybe there should have been two books. Reflecting on my dilemma, I really think that Ms Quinn has been very adventurous having four protagonists in one book. And the ending of this story! Meghan's candid confession hit home in a way that had me grabbing for a man-sized hankie. I had no idea. She hit on that spot that summed up this read even before I could. Bravo ma'am!
About the Author:
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Do not approach health insurance with fear. It is true the field is complex and your options are many, but the more you learn, the safer you will feel. Health insurance is similar to healthcare itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By making smart choices when you select health insurance, you can avoid difficulties in the future.
Your choice of health insurance hinges on what it covers. Having the coverage that will cover incidents like these will make all the difference in the affordability of any downtime that you may incur.
A good money saving tip for health insurance is to ask your company if they offer an employee wellness plan. More and more companies are starting to offer incentives to employees who agree to have a health and lifestyle assessment. You might be able to get into fitness programs that will help your company save cash when it comes to its insurance coverage, therefore lowering your own premiums.
Your prescription benefits can change from year to year, so check with your insurance provider on an annual basis to make sure that you still have the coverage you expect. Health insurance providers frequently make changes to the medications they cover, so every time you sign back up, it is advisable that you check the fine print of your policy terms. You will want to consider switching providers if your current one yanks your medications off the approved list.
Choose catastrophic insurance coverage over comprehensive to lower your premiums. While comprehensive covers doctor visits and prescriptions, catastrophic coverage covers hospital visits and emergency care.
It does not matter which type of health insurance you have, everyone will save money if they choose to get generic drugs when filling a prescription. There are only a few drugs that you can not get in a generic form, and there have been many studies that have shown there is not any difference between these and a name brand pill.
You should realize that states regulate private insurance, so it is not possible to purchase it across state lines because of interstate commerce laws. If you go to the hospital in another state, your policy might not cover the expenses. This is important information if you will be traveling.
If you simply don't visit the doctor enough for insurance to be cost effective, consider opening a Healthcare Savings Account (HSA). All of the money that you save from paying premiums and deductibles, can be put into this account and used for any medical expenses that you incur.
Since it is cheaper for you in the long run if you are part of a group plan, that is why your rates seem lower when you work for an employer than when you get insurance on your own. If you don't have an employer or they don't offer insurance, join a trade organization that has negotiated lower premium rates for its members.
When you switch policies, get all your facts from your current policy. Always know what your annual payments are, your deductibles and all the medical costs that are covered after you reach the deductible. Keep all of this along with a copy of your current plan when looking for a new policy.
One technique you can use to save on health-related costs is to request that your doctor double the dosage of any pill prescription being provided. Many times, your insurance company will not make you pay double the price, so you will end up saving quite a bit of money in the long run. The pill splitter you bought will pay for itself in a very short amount of time.
For example, if you already have a doctor that you are comfortable with and trust, then your doctor is one of the things your health insurance policy must account for. This means you should not purchase a policy that forces you to use a different doctor. Ask your doctor if he is currently partnered with an insurer.
Talk to your doctor and see if there is any service that you can do for them and use this to barter. This scenario benefited both parties very well.
You need to keep cognizant that health insurance costs go beyond your monthly premium. You also probably have a co-pay for doctors visits. Find out how much this co-pay is, and ask yourself if your plan is really worth it.
In order to get the most advantageous health insurance policy prices, maintain a solid credit rating. The worse your credit score is, the more you may end up having to pay for quality insurance. The health insurance company may even refuse to cover you at all. Think about repairing your credit prior to seeking new medical coverage.
When looking to compare different insurance quotes to find the best price for the best package, you should search around on the Internet to help you find what's best. You can get quotes by going to the websites of specific providers or by using a marketplace website that can give you quotes on various policies from a number of providers.
When you are thinking about purchasing health insurance, it can be a good idea to join a group. Group insurance is usually cheaper than individual health plans. If you are employed, the company you work for should be able to receive a group rate opportunity for the entire staff. You can also find group health insurance through trade groups or other associations that you are a member of.
Many health policies will offer wellness benefits that could be valuable to you. Most of today's top insurers are giving you great benefits for staying fit. So if you're in a gym, eat right, and receive annual check-ups, you may qualify for discounts. You can decrease your premiums by taking advantage of the benefits offered by your health insurance company.
You do not want to find out about the limitations of your health insurance policy when you get sick. Be prepared, learn ahead of time everything you need to know about your insurance, and find out what alternatives are available. Having less health insurance than you need can prove costly, but you can rectify the problem at any time.

Congratulations to Hawkestone for taking out the B Grade Pennant at the finals day played at Wanganui Golf Club yesterday. It has been a long time coming for the Hawkestone team that have competed toward the top of the B Grade competition for a number of years.
In the semi finals Hawkestone defeated Marton 6.5 - 2.5 to set up a final against top seeds Castlecliff. Castlecliff defeated Linton Camp 7.5 - 1.5 in their semi final clash. Castlecliff had already defeated Hawkestone in the final round robin match at Hawkestone Golf Club, therefore were heading into the final as the favourite. However Hawkestone could never be written off as they had a solid and experienced line up. Their wins in the singles matches went to Hamish McDonald, Ross Geary and Glenn Burgess, with Mike Taiuru securing a half against former Manawatu Wanganui Toro rep Hayden Ring at number 1. Hawkestone also secured 2.5 wins out of 3 in the fourball matches, to complete a 6 to 3 victory.
Hawkestone now have the right to be automatically promoted to A Grade for the 2018 pennant season, however will need to find two other top notch players to compete in that grade as 8 players are required rather than the 6 players in B Grade.
Tawhero now look certain to finish at the bottom of the A Grade competition, which will mean they will probably be back in B Grade next year.
Other pennant competitions:
The final round robin matches will take place next weekend at Levin Golf Club, and will determine the semi finalists. Manawatu, Palmerston North and Taihape are now guaranteed semi final spots. Feilding and Foxton are both in contention to be the other semi finalist. If Feilding beat Taihape they will go through, however if they lose and Foxton beat Tawhero, then Foxton will get through. The Feilding vs Taihape match should be a close one, if all players are available.
Manawatu will play Palmerston North to determine the top seed heading into the semi-finals. Manawatu is currently unbeaten, and Palmerston North will have to win well to sneak ahead.
In the Palmanui competition, with one round still to be played, Palmerston North have remained unbeaten to secure top spot, and will play Manawatu in the final, as they have now secured second place.
In the Handicap Pennant the semi finalists have now been found and the finals will be played at Marton Golf Club on 7 May. Marton will play Feilding in one semi, and Manawatu will play Levin in the other. Marton have the home course advantage after finishing top of the round robin competition.

Scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have discovered a way to use diamondoids – the smallest possible bits of diamond – to assemble atoms into the thinnest possible electrical wires, just three atoms wide.
"What we have shown here is that we can make tiny, conductive wires of the smallest possible size that essentially assemble themselves," said Hao Yan, a Stanford postdoctoral researcher and lead author of the paper. "The process is a simple, one-pot synthesis. You dump the ingredients together and you can get results in half an hour. It's almost as if the diamondoids know where they want to go."

Assembled with the help of diamondoids, the microscopic nanowires can be seen with the naked eye because the strong mutual attraction between their diamondoid shells makes them clump together, in this case by the millions. At top right, an image made with a scanning electron microscope shows nanowire clusters magnified 10,000 times. Credit: SEM image by Hao Yan/SIMES; photo by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Their minuscule size is important, Melosh said, because a material that exists in just one or two dimensions – as atomic-scale dots, wires or sheets – can have very different, extraordinary properties compared to the same material made in bulk. The new method allows researchers to assemble those materials with atom-by-atom precision and control.
Constructive Attraction

Each wire has an electrically conductive core made of copper and sulfur atoms (brown and yellow spheres) surrounded by an insulating diamondoid shell. The natural attraction between diamondoids drives the assembly process. Credit: H. Yan et al., Nature Materials.
"Much like LEGO blocks, they only fit together in certain ways that are determined by their size and shape," said Stanford graduate student Fei Hua Li, who played a critical role in synthesizing the tiny wires and figuring out how they grew. "The copper and sulfur atoms of each building block wound up in the middle, forming the conductive core of the wire, and the bulkier diamondoids wound up on the outside, forming the insulating shell."
A Versatile Toolkit for Creating Novel Materials
"You can imagine weaving those into fabrics to generate energy," Melosh said. "This method gives us a versatile toolkit where we can tinker with a number of ingredients and experimental conditions to create new materials with finely tuned electronic properties and interesting physics."

On Monday, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen moved to sever diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar and ordered Qatari citizens out of their countries. Their message to Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani: put a halt to Qatari financing of terrorist groups, or face war. According to Egyptian officials, "all attempts to stop [Qatar] from supporting terrorist groups failed." Officials have accused Qataris of backing Hamas, al-Qaeda, ISIS, and even the Houthis of Yemen.
The countries have banned Qatari aircraft from their territories. Saudi Arabia closed Qatar's only border crossing. Qatar, a peninsula jutting out into the Persian Gulf, now has no way to bring in trucks. Already Qataris have emptied grocery store shelves.
Of course Qatar can still access the sea. Its port of Ras Laffan (largely built by ExxonMobil) is home to the world's biggest liquefied natural gas complex, exporting 75 million tons per year (~4 tcfpa) of cold-chilled methane in giant tankers . Qatar also exports several million barrels per day of oil and natural gas liquids. For now, anyway.
The UAE today proclaimed that any vessels heading to or from Qatar would be banned from stopping at its Fujairah port, where some three-quarters of tankers traversing the Gulf stop for fuel. Egypt has not yet indicated whether it intends to block Qatar-linked vessels from using the Suez Canal — a common route for tankers. Oil closed Monday at $47.45 for WTI.
Trump had met with the Emir of Qatar while on his Saudi trip, May 21. "Our relationship is extremely good," Trump said of U.S.-Qatari relations, adding that they would be discussing the "purchase of lots of beautiful military equipment because nobody makes it as good as the United States."
Despite the smiles and handshakes, it's unlikely that the Trump Administration wasn't consulted on this. The U.S. Central Command is headquartered at the enormous al-Udeid airbase in Qatar. It's home to 10,000 U.S. military personnel, fighter jets flying daily sorties against ISIS, and even B-52s. Just two weeks ago President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made their pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, joining King Salman in a sword dance and embracing the orb of power. First son-in-law Jared Kushner has reportedly been in close contact with UAE's highly influential envoy Yousef al-Otaiba, as well as with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the young royal guiding the kingdom toward economic transformation under his Vision 2030 plan.
Speaking May 23 at a conference former U.S. Secretary of Defense and CIA chief Robert Gates said Qatar "has long had the welcome mat out for the Muslim Brotherhood" and has allowed them "a safe haven."
In comments Sunday from Australia, (with Sec. Mattis at his side) Tillerson said,
"I think what we're witnessing is a growing list of irritants in the region that have been there for some time, and obviously they have now bubbled up to level that countries decided they needed to take action in an effort to have those differences addressed. We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences."
Tillerson has a long history in Qatar. During his tenure as CEO, Exxon built most of Qatar's massive LNG complex, investing some $30 billion, and continues to hold a roughly 30% interest in the assets, at least until contracts expire sometime in the next decade.
Eager to maintain close ties, Exxon has partnered with state-controlled Qatar Petroleum in ventures around the world. These include the Golden Pass LNG terminal on the Texas gulf coast. Originally built as an import terminal, Exxon and QP are now moving ahead on a $10 billion project to transform Golden Pass into an export facility — to send American shale gas to the world and, ironically, compete with Qatari gas. The partners also own Adriatic LNG, a floating regas terminal off the coast of Italy; an LNG shipping business called Ocean LNG; a concession for exploratory drilling off Cyprus; and possibly even a tie up in Mozambique. ExxonMobil today had no immediate comment on whether the dispute would have any impact on its Qatari operations.
I interviewed Tillerson back in 2009 for this Forbes Magazine cover story on Exxon's grand move into natural gas. He had traveled to the emirate three times that year and had grown close with the father of the current emir.
"Whenever I meet the emir, the last thing he says to me is always: 'Mr. Tillerson, you know we are committed to our agreements with ExxonMobil, and we will always stand by our agreements.' I appreciate that he says it," says Tillerson. "I take his word as his bond, and in our business that means a lot." Adds Chase Untermeyer, former U.S. ambassador to Qatar: "The Qataris remember who their friends are. Relationships are paramount."
What Tillerson, Trump the Saudis and everybody else want Qatar to do now is to live up to the terms of their 2014 agreement to deny the Muslim Brotherhood a safe space in their country. Speaking at a conference on terrorism financing last week, former Secretary of Defense and ex-CIA chief Robert Gates said lipservice from Doha isn't enough; Qatar needs to get tough.
"If we go to them and say, 'These accounts are run by Hamas for fundraising, shut them down.' They'll shut them down. If we say, 'We want this guy out, they'll put that guy out.' But, I don't know of instances in which they take the initiative, in which they aggressively go after these networks, do the investigative work themselves, identity people on their own that are involved in these networks, figure out exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood is doing from there, exactly what the Taliban are doing from there, and so on, on their own."
Gates doesn't speak for the Trump Administration of course, but he said at the conference, organized by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, that if Qatari persists in backing terror groups, the U.S. would certainly consider moving its airbase. "The United States military doesn't have any irreplaceable facilities," said Gates.
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, speaking at the same conference, concurred, "I think if behaviors didn't change, there would absolutely be a willingness to look at other options for basing."
So why is this crisis happening now? The Financial Times is reporting that Gulf leaders were outraged to learn that Qatar had paid $1 billion in cash ransom last month to militants who captured Qatari royals on a hunting trip in Iraq. The FT also reports that Iraqi officials had seized suitcases with hundreds of millions of dollars that had arrived in Iraq "Illegally" on Qatari planes.
Another trigger appears to be some fake news. On May 23 Qatar's official government news service published a bulletin on comments purportedly made by Shiekh Tamim that included the assertion that Hamas should be considered "the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people" and referred to Iran as a "big power in the stabilization of the region."
Qatar soon disavowed the story and claimed its official news service was hacked. Yet by then the story had been picked up by news services around the gulf and even amplified by Al Jazeera, Qatar's state-owned news network. Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, fellow for the Middle East at Rice University's Baker Institute, says he has been assured by people he deems trustworthy that Qatar really was hacked. "They're adamant that no such speech took place." Even so, he says, the genius of the hack is that the fake bulletin seemed enough like something the Emir would say, and that officials throughout the Gulf assumed it might as well be true. Whether fake news of not, the damage was done and the Saudis had the cover they needed to move. "This isn't coming out of nothing," says Ulrichsen.
So what happens next? A hot war between the Saudis and Qataris is exceedingly unlikely, in part because it would pit two of the Gulf's ruling families against each other. Hereditary monarchies need to stick together, and solve their own problems from within. Shiekh Tamim, 37, took over four years ago when his father handed over control. It was the first peaceful Qatari political transition in 100 years. 1913, 1949, 1960 and 1995 all saw forced abdications -- as various factions of the ruling Al Thani clan wrestled for control. Palace coups are common there, which is why Ulrichsen figures that if the emir doesn't move quickly to root out Qatar's terrorist sympathizers he could find himself replaced by a ruler willing to take a harder line against extremism.

One of those places you instantly feel like a local, New England's scenery, old-world villages, and seaside communities are as welcoming and familiar as you can get, making for leisurely exploration. Breaking you into the easy-going air, Boston's no sprawling urban jungle; it's a cutesy enclave packed with history and charm. Its Freedom Trail links American Revolutionary landmarks with a simple stroll, peppered with endless dining and second-to-none shopping. But lobsters and lighthouses await. Hitting the road north takes you through Salem's witch trial history, coastal communities like Gloucester, Rockport, and Portsmouth, and into Kennebunkport, whose bohemian vibe and historic homes make it a perfect overnight stop before heading on to Bar Harbor, where lobstermen bring in their catch for your chowder and lobster rolls. Most travellers drive into Acadia National Park, taking Park Loop Road or scaling Cadillac Mountain, before leaving the coast for the White Mountains and their covered bridges and forest-wrapped villages, heading over to Stowe; the Green Mountains and their bear and moose lled forests; and the famously chic region of The Berkshires. Back on the coast, the trail leads you to Newport, summer home of the super- wealthy, and Cape Cod, where incredible sandy beaches, sweet villages, and free-spirited Princetown make it the summer home of many more.
It's no secret New England's one of the most popular places for an American road trip, and for good reason. This collection of states, from tiny Rhode Island to seaside-lined Maine, holds some of America's most important history, most wow-worthy scenery, and most charming communities. Your adventures start and end in Boston, 'cradle of American liberty', where sightseeing is made easy by the 2.5 mile long Freedom Trail, which leads you to 16 significant landmarks. But this is more than a city break, and you'll get to visit off-track places like Salem, a town unable (and unwilling) to shake of its 17th century witch hunt connections. Taking the scenic route, you'll also travel to Cadillac Mountain in Maine; the White and Green Mountains, where you might spot the odd bear or moose; celebrated Plymouth Rock; and the sand dunes of Cape Cod. You could get your own snapshot of America's most photographed lighthouse (no, we don't know how they know that either) at Cape Neddick – and those on Cape Cod. You'll stay in quintessentially American towns like the tiny waterfront community of Bar Harbor and swanky Newport, with its coastal dining venues and 'gilded mansions'.

Another home movie film. It appears to be a day out at the airport after World War II ended. There is some good footage of the P-61's and other aircraft of the time including the Waco CG-4A, TWA Boeing 307 and, what I believe to be a Pan American Boeing B-314. NC-18604 "Atlantic Clipper" was in service from 1939-1946.
