to a small habitation in the country. From this asylum, however, they returned so precipitately on the retreat of the enemy, that they were surprised by them on their second invasion of Tuscany in 1800; and had more to suffer, it appears, from the importunate civility, than from the outrages of the conquerors. The French general, it seems, was a man of letters, and made several attempts to be introduced to Alfieri. When evasion became impossible, the latter made the following haughty but gual ded reply to his warlike admiter: "If the general in his official capacity, commands his presence, Victor Alfieri, who never resists constituted authority of any kind, will immediately hasten to obey the order; but if, on the contrary, he requests an interview only as a private individual, Alfieri begs leave to observe, that being of a very retired turn of mind, he wishes not to form any new acquaintance, and therefore entreats the Prench general to hold him excused." II. p. 286, 287. Under these disastrous circumstances, he was suddenly seized with the desire of signalizing himself in
a new field of exertion; and sketched out no fewer than six comedies at once, which were nearly finished before the end of 1802. His health, during this year, was considerably weakened by repeated attacks of irregular gout and inflammatory affections; and the memoir concludes with the description of a collar and medal which he had invented, as the badge of "the order of Homer," which, in his late-sprung ardour for Greek literature, he had founded and endowed. Annexed to this record is a sort of postscript, addressed, by his friend, the abbé Caluso, to the countess of Albany; from which it appears, that he was carried off by an inflammatory or gouty attack in his bowels, which put a period to his existence after a few days' illness, in the month of October 1803. We have since learned, that the publication of his posthumous works, which, had been begun by the countess of Albany at Milan, has been stopped by the French government; and that several of the manuscripts have, by the same authority, been committed to the flames.
The Life of Admiral Lord Nelson. Concluded from Vol. III. page 403.
The Panorama in adopting the principle, that morals, publick and private, are the only certain basis of national prosperity, has excited the spleen of more than one halfinformed speculator in politicks, who has taken momentary success for permanent establishment; and has adduced it as a confutation of our maxim. It may require a capacity for further prescience than falls to the lot of some men, or a better acquaintance with the records of history than has been obtained by others, to be able to combine the beginning and the termination of events with their real causes, and to deduce those inferences which facts, distant and distinct from each other, though
correlative, will abundantly warrant. Long before the French revolutionary mania had reached that height of phrensy to which it at length attained, the expectations of very many among our countrymen were turned to the sufferings which they anticipated for Italy. They knew that profligacy was the order of the day in that peninsula. They knew that where holiness was supposed to predominate, and where to have doubted the prevalence of genuine religion as the publick establishment, would have exposed the hesitating to persecution, even there the writings of Voltaire and other atheists, found patrons, and vices were practised, almost openly, at which nature shud
ders, though infidelity triumphs. Such were the sentiments of those who well knew Italy: and as we are now reporting on memoirs of a British admiral, we shall say, that such was the conviction of many officers in the British service. We speak from recollection of opinions given by the late admiral sir Peter Dennis, and his captain, the late Charles Ellys. If the immoralities and scandals of that country were in their time so notorious, as to induce those officers to speak confidently of approaching punishment, how obvious must they have become, ere Nelson and Troubridge had occasion to contemplate the sufferings, that followed in the train of those pollutions which degraded that beautiful but unhappy peninsula | The character of lord Nelson as a politician appears to us to have been inferiour to none of the statesmen his contemporaries. He saw and lamented the evils he could not cure; at the same time, he foretold their consequences. Had his opinion prevailed, the treachery practised at Naples would not have been the precursor of that practised at Ulm, and Mack would not a second time have contributed, by obedience to French intrigue, to the desolation of a monarchy and the irretrievable disorganization of an empire. A picture of the weakness and wickedness of the Italians, as drawn by lord Nelson and the officers under his command, would, at whole length, occupy too much of our pages; yet we cannot refrain from introducing detached parts of it, in order to produce a permanent effect on the minds of our readers, and to justify the terms in which we have stated that opinion, which facts but too sufficiently warrant.
"The king of Naples had, indeed, placed himself at the head of his army;" but
his troops were led on by general Mack. It is also a fact well known to many of the English captains in lord Nelson's squadron, that these troops by whom the king of Naples alone hoped to preserve his do. minions, had, owing to a strange fatality, been raised by a French artillery officer, Lacombe St. Michel, who had acted his allotted part, as ambassadour from the republick. Having received money from the king of Naples, he selected such of his subjects as he knew were favourably inclined towards the French; the event, therefore, corresponded with this deep laid treachery., when the king's army approached the enemy, the flight of the JYeapolitans became general; their cannon, tents, baggage, and even military chest, were ail left behind them. Dejected and overcome by what had happened, the king of Naples retraced his steps, and Dec. 14, 1798, returned home. Vol. II. p. 133.
Such is a French victory ! such are the preparatives of Gallick triumph :
Captain Troubridge writes to lord Nelson:
"If the nobility were men of principle and of respectability, how easy would it be to get the Neapolitan soldiers and militia to declare for their king." p. 160. "The greatest villains and republicans are the marine and artillery officers.
"The French, in order to man their gunboats and gallies, cajoled the Neapolitan sailors into the arsenal, with a promise that they should receive their pay. when they had got them in, the gate was shut, and the whole of them were driven into the gun-boats without a carline !" p. 162. "In short, my lord, these islands must return under the French yoke, as I see the king's ministers are not to be relied on for slipplies. O how I long to have a dash at the thieves. The work we have to do is nothing; but the villany we must combat is great indeed, and wears us all out."
Lord Nelson in one of his letters expresses himself very strongly to this purpose: "The nobles are infomous:" and he writes to earl St. Vincent:
"What precious moments the courts of
* Lord Nelson writing of this monarch says: "It must be acknowledged that the king of Naples, throughout the whole of his conduct on this occasion, displayed a spirit which did honour to his character. In personal courage he was by no ineans
Naples and Vienna are losing ! this court is so emervated that the happy moment will be Most " p. 101.
"I am very unwell, and the miserable conduct of this court is not likely to cool my irritable temper. It is a country offiddiers and poets, whores and scoundrels." p. 10.3.−
Captain Troubridge to lord Nel801).
"Micheroux [the Neapolitan commander in chief] has been a cypher with us, and cannot have the smallest influence; we have suspected him, as Ball will inform you. I think he is off. In short, my lord, the cardinal's secretary is making a for: tune by giving protections to jacobins, and the greatest discontent prevails at the conduct of the villanous lawyers * o rving the culprits at the granary; they a . the . are bribed." 198. "We are surrounded with villains. I was yesterday busily employed sifting to the bottom, a diabolical good understanding with our Neapolitan officers stationed at the advan: ced posts, and the enemy. Such damned cowards and villains I never saw." p. 200.
Lord Nelson to earl St. Vincent.
"The conduct of the king's officer sent to orbitello and Longone has been so infa: mous, that Troubridge is almost mad, and I am in a fever. Troubridge writes: ' Orbitello is sold, and I fear Longene will be the same. I desired the general and all his cowardly gang, to get out of a British man of war."
Commodore Donald Campbell, in the Portuguese service, was obliged by the disgracefully equivocal conduct of the Neapolitan Viceroy, Pignatelli, to burn the Neapolitan fleet, under his charge. On which our authors remark:
"Traitors strangely nestled among the higher ranks of the Neopolitans: the mob, as lord Nelson observed in one of his letters, were certainly loyal, the nobility to a man were jacobins." p. 141:
"The prince of Moliterni, who was appointed commander in chief, had addressed the loyal Lazzaroni, and had begged the wool shoot him if he ever betrayed their confidence; yet was at the very time intrigung with the French, to give up the :astles to them on their approach to Na
"I hope to acquire a little patience; but the Neapolitan government is so deranged that it is impossible for things to go on as we could wish. Of a bad bargain we must make the best. The poor devils of workmen have had no provisions to day. I offered my own cash, but I could not procure bread So we must stand a fast to night. I lent an officer to day sixty ducats, which I could not afford to give him, to buy him a dinner." p. 201. "The powder is so bad, that the shells hardly breach; many fall short though not above 300 toises. I really suspect, some treachery. If your lordship could spare us 40 casks of our powder it would be very useful for the mortars. If you comply, it will be necessary that some person belonging to us should accompany it, or they will steal one half, and change the other." p. 202. "I shall remain here to day to stop all the villanies going on. Every man you see, gentle and simple, are such notorious villains, that it is misery to be with them I am endeavouring to get a return of the provisions, powder, guns, &c. but as it is the interest of the thieves here to prevent it, they are trying to do it, and I am trying against them.
"I think they are cheating us about the wine, but that is nothing new here; for between ourselves, for a carline I could buy all the generals in the place, from Pignatelli downwards. God send I may never see this degenerated place again. Every man here is our bitter enemy."— p. 124.
"Some of the villains are very rich. The distress for bread in Ischia is so great, that it would move even a Frenchman to pity. Cannot a subscription be opened? I beg to put my name down for twenty ducats; I cannot afford more, or I would give it. I feed all I can from a large private stock I had, but that will not last long. Palermo is full of grain, as is the neighbourhood; the French I fear, have more interest there than the king. His majesty will, I hope, the moment he regains Naples, make some great examples of his villamous nobles."—p. 169.
Lord JWelson. "I have asked this court [in Sicily] to lend 10,000l [to Malta] to supply their wants; but I cannot succeed, as general Acton says they have it not to give. Troubridge has been obliged to give all his flower to keep the inhabitants of the islands from starving."—p. 157.
Captain Troubridge to lord Nelson.
"Naples, August 15, 1799. We have nothing now but fireworks and nonsense. To day some officers applied for a passage to Palermo, to see the procession of St. Rosalio. I recommended them to exercise their troops and not behave like children. What can the king expect from such things Every thing gives way to their pleasures. The truth is, it is the interest of many here to keep the king away. They constantly send villanous reports to deter him from coming. I know this game has been practised some time. In short, my lord, they all dread reform, I mean the people in office; the villanies are so deep rooted, that if some method is not taken to dig them out, this government cannot hold together. His majesty is surrounded by thieves, and none has honour or honesty enough to tell him the real and true state of things. Out of twenty millions of ducats collected as the revenue, only thirteen millions reach the treasury, and the king pays five ducats where he should pay one."—p. 212.
We could add many more descriptions of a like kind; but these are sufficient to prove our assertlonS.
What a dreary spectacle do these extracts present of what avail is a king at the head of his army however valiant, when a Mack has the chief command, when the minister at war is among the traitors, and *hen all the generals can be bought
for a carline 2 of what avail is the sense of honour in allies when the principals are thieves, prostitutes, liars, adepts at "the true Neapolitan shuffle!" and callous to every sentiment of humanity and compassion 1 Those who can hear the complaints of the starving, yet amidst their own abundance afford no supply; those who are too greatly enervated to do their duty to their country; those who have abandoned every vigorous sentiment and every manly virtue, may be fiddlers and slaves if they will; but patriots and freemen they cannot be.
Nemo repente fuit turpissimus.
says the adage. Private and personal vices, are the parents of official and publick profligacy. The breach of morals, is like that of a dyke; small at first, but the rushing waters enlarge it, the stream acquires strength, overbears all before it, and spreads ruin and devastation all around. Whenever doubts are started, whether morals are the true support of national energies, we recommend an appeal to the history of Italy, and to the opinions of lord. Nelson, with those of the officers of his squadron. Men themselves, they knew how to make allowance for the frailty of mankind; but Britons, officers, and patriots, they beheld, with disgust, those atrocities which led to the subjugation of that unhappy country. They could not preserve Italy; she was sunk in guilt. The carrion carcase which becomes the prey of vultures and kites, of wolves and wild dogs, is no subject of pity; it has no feeling; it has no sense of dishonour; there is no spirit lin lt.
But Italy is not the only country, which must plead guilty to the accusation of treason and corruption. Captain Wood writes to lord
Nelson, that " many of the Turks at
Constantinople had been dipping in French gold, and a wonderful deal of villany had been discovered."Can we otherwise than expect that sufferings of the same kind, as those which have desolated Italy should fall on crimes of the same nature, in Turkey : Lord Nelson's conduct, as a politician, at Copenhagen after, or rather during, the battle off that city, is too well known to need relation or illustration from us. A happy thought, happily executed, at a happy moment, and conducted to its completion, by the personal exertion of the British admiral, distinquished that event. Never was a more sudden or a more acceptable conversion of war and bloodshed into pacification. Never was a more profound exertion of political sagacity, and official presence of mind. Lord Nelson is distinguished, also, in a political point of view, by his conduct at home, by his proposals for the good of the service, and the advantage of his brother officers and sailors. He always spoke his mind freely; his sentiments were the result of his experience; and he advised for his country's welfare, which ever lay near his heart. But on this subject we cannot enlarge. The character of lord Nelson as a man, may be deduced, not unfairly, from what we have stated on his conduct as an officer, from his unabating patriotism, and his prescience in politicks; yet fidelity to truth requires, that we should examine his personal character more closely than we have yet done. We therefore select two particulars; the first, his constantly attributing to the good pleasure of the Sovereign Disposer of all events, whatever successes crowned his exertions; this does him honour as a man. The other does honour to his friends, who never manifested attachment to him more strongly, than when remonstrating with their superiour officer and commander, on his subjugation to those imperfections in his character, which were more dreadful by their seductions, than all the power of
the enemy, ten times augmented,
could have been by its violence. Lord Nelson writes to his lady,
September 28, 1798:
"Miserable accounts of le Guillaume Tell. I trust God Almighty will yet put her into the hands of our king. His all powerful hand bas come with us to the battle, protected us, and still continues destroying the unbelievers. All glory be to God."
He writes to earl St. Vincent.
"I thank God on your account that your expectations have not been disappointed in me. If the French get thirteen more ships into the Mediterranean, you will take care of me; and I will fight them the moment I can get at them, and I trust to the blessing of God, whom I praise and adore for all his mercies."
His publick ascription, of his victory at Aboukir, to "Almighty God, who had been pleased to grant a signal triumph to his majesty's arms," will never be obliterated from the memory of his countrymen; and this, with other publick expressions of the same sentiment, being already universally known, we shall not here repeat them. But justice to his brother officers requires that they also should partake his praises on this subject. Lord St. Vincent writes: "My dear admiral, God be praised, &c." Captain Collingwood writes: "My heart overflows with thankfulness to the Divine Providence, for his protection of you through the great dangers which are ever attendant on services of such eminence," &c. These are laudable instances of piety; these brave men were not the less brave because they saw the hand of God in victory, and acknowledged Divine Providence in their personal safety. For the rest we shall adopt the language of these volumes; where the writers turn away from particulars we shall not endeavour to state them; the pain with which the defects of a Nelson are considered by

Obama was the master-mind who authored the strategy to find and assassinate Bin Laden? Forget the requests of the birthers. I'd love to see Obama's notes on this one.
I thought Kook Aid was "played out", but people are still drinking the juice.
Or, did Obama just grant approval to the intelligence officials and military experts who have worked through various administrations to assassinate the selected face of terrorism to distract the masses from the real wicked folks-who were born and raised right here in America-who gave OSAMA fuel for his insane tank?
I won't even delve into the question of is Osama really dead, because it really doesn't matter.
Two thousand bullets or bludgeoning strikes against Osama won't kill what drove Bin Laden. Sorry to break the real news: Osama and his hatred for America and his distorted quest to fight holy wars for his god won't be stopped with his so-called end.
The real adversary and enemy of our souls is still working to cause nations to fight against nations. So, America hasn't won a thing. Prayer is still necessary, and wisdom for those who make decisions for our nation will make the difference.

Rep. C.W. Bill Young has gone to the Oval Office in his crusade to get this year's appropriations bills passed this year.
Republican congressional leaders have rebuffed Young's request, delaying the controversial bills until the 108th Congress convenes next year. That prompted Young, the Largo Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, on Friday to urge President Bush to ask congressional leaders to pass the bills before Christmas.
The bills are long overdue.
The budget year began Oct. 1, but only two of the 13 spending bills have been signed. The others are stalled because conservative Republicans balked at spending levels that were increased to win votes from moderate Republicans. GOP leaders hope they can resolve the stalemate in January, when they have a larger House majority and control the Senate.
Young has been frustrated by the delay.
"I've been trying to convince the leadership all along that I think it's wiser to do this before the end of the year," Young said. After the new Congress begins "you have a lot of new members who are not familiar with the issues and all the bills would have to be reintroduced."
After the meeting, White House spokeswoman Jeanie Mamo said Bush has not announced whether he'll push for passage this year. "Congress has only passed two of the 13 appropriations bills," she said. "They still need to get it done. The most important thing is to show fiscal restraint while they are funding our priorities."
Congressman cancels over group's stoning views
After learning that the organizer of a religious conference he was scheduled to address this weekend advocates stoning disobedient children, Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Pitts backed out of his scheduled appearance at a meeting of the National Reform Association.
"Congressman Pitts doesn't believe in stoning anybody," spokesman Gabe Neville told the Associated Press last week.
Pitts, the House Republican leadership's liaison to Christian conservatives, canceled his appearance under pressure from watchdog group Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
The association is part of the fringe Christian Reconstruction movement, which seeks to impose biblical law in the United States.
The Rev. William Einwechter, a conference organizer, wrote an essay in January 1999 titled "Stoning Disobedient Children." Also scheduled to speak at the Ephrata, Pa., conference Saturday was religious writer Gary DeMar, who advocated in a 1987 book the execution of homosexuals.
Taking a literal view of the Bible, Christian Reconstructionists also have condoned stoning of women who commit adultery and the execution of abortion providers.
In August, Jerry Regier, Florida's new head of the Department of Children and Families, was snared by an apparent past association with the movement. His name appeared on a 1989 essay published by the Coalition on Revival, an arm of the movement. The essay advocated spanking children and keeping women out of the workplace.
Regier denied he had written the paper and disavowed its conclusions.
_ Washington staff writers Bill Adair and Mary Jacoby contributed to this report.

VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol." This innovative residential phone technology converts voice signals into digital and then sends them to their intended location via high speed internet networks. In Clifton, CO, many consumers find this type of service convenient because they can use VoIP in any location they have access to a high speed, broadband internet connection, allowing them to have access to their home phone number when they are out and about. This is a great feature that can be advantageous for business or personal use.
There are many features that make VoIP worth taking the plunge. Though customers are unable to choose their own area codes when they use regular home phone service, VoIP services allow consumers to customize their phone numbers, including area code! Consumers also can include caller ID, unlimited and international calling, call forwarding, three-way calling, call blocking and more to their plans, with plans beginning at as little as $5.99 per month. It's inexpensive and filled with features that are easy to learn, no matter your level of tech-savvy, which makes it a great option for anyone who wants to save money and use a new, innovative service without spending years learning how to do it right.
This speedy type of phone service runs over copper lines. Although DSL phone service in Clifton, CO operates somewhat similarly to traditional phone service, there are a few distinct differences. Many customers find that DSL service is faster and more convenient than traditional service. DSL service utilizes a modem in order to allow customers to connect to both the internet and a telephone line at the same time. Many DSL service providers offer bundle pricing for phone and internet service. Phone service alone can start as low as $19.95 a month, but can increase depending on the Internet plan. Many DSL providers require customers to commit to a contract in order to receive reduced pricing. While many find DSL plans quite affordable, they may not be the most budget-friendly option.
The main benefit choosing DSL service in Clifton, CO over traditional phone service is that customers can access the Internet and phone at the same time. DSL is much faster than dial-up service which does not allow customers to use the phone and computer at once. On the hierarchy of phone service options, DSL is a few steps above a traditional landline.
Reliability is the biggest drawback of choosing DSL service. The reliability of DSL-based service varies widely by proximity to the provider. Many customers that live 18,000 feet or more away from their provider may not get service at all. In addition to that, DSL users may face busy lines if a large number of users are occupying the same service. This can present some difficulties when attempting to make holiday or emergency calls.
Traditional landline phone service has been around for many years, and it's made possible by a large network of underground wires. To use this service, a phone must be connected to a special phone jack inside of the home, and for several decades, this was the best service available. However, with several other options available, many consumers are ditching the traditional landline for better services.
The greatest advantage of choosing landline services in Clifton, CO is the stable connection. Since it's hardwired through a large underground network, a landline phone delivers call clarity and connection quality that are difficult for other services to beat. One of the major disadvantages of the traditional landline is immobility. A landline service cannot be transported and used at a store or public location. To make calls with a landline phone, you must stay within the confines of your home. When compared with many alternative options, the landline phone is also much more expensive. In fact, the average cost of a landline service is double or triple the cost of alternative services.
Among the many options for home phone service in Clifton, CO, wireless service is perhaps the most popular one. The mobility of this option is the reason why it is so popular. Wireless services can be either billed or prepaid depending on the carrier and the plan chosen. There is certainly no shortage of wireless phone service providers in Clifton, CO, so it is important that you consider the pricing and features each offers. You should also do your research regarding each provider's network reliability so you do not find yourself dealing with dropped calls and insufficient network coverage. Among the many features that are often include in wireless phone plans are caller ID and voicemail, as well as the ability to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for times when you need internet service on the go. You can compare cell phone plans in Clifton, CO using Wirefly.
By far, the most popular reason consumers choose wireless phone services is the mobility it provides. Whether you are running errands or traveling across the country, you are able to make calls easily with wireless service. The higher prices associated with wireless phone services can sometimes be prohibitive, however. While the average monthly cost of a wireless phone plan with unlimited minutes is around $50, choosing additional features can significantly increase the monthly cost. Another disadvantage is that reliability can be an issue at times, and signals may not be available in certain areas.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

How do I start programs installed on Windows Vista in one hard drive from Windows 7 on a different hard drive?
How do I start programs installed on Windows Vista in one hard drive from Windows 7 on a different hard drive?
Thanks Pranay, for asking this question. Same problem here, have Win7 HP, Win7 Ult and Win8 Preview on 3 drives of same pc with Office10 installed on HP and Ult. Desperately want access to Office Apps using Win 8 as I have precious little space left, moreover I don't think they shall permit same Office key to install on 3 Windows, even if the pc is same.
It is possible if you have Windows 7 and use Windows XP Mode as a virtual machine. If you install the programs in the Windows XP virtual machine, you will be able to access in Windows 7 start menu
If it is a portable app, you can just locate the executable on the Vista hard drive (provided you have permissions to read & execute the program) and double-click on it to execute it. If you are attempting to run a standard Windows program such as MS Office, this method won't work since it also installs a boatload of DLL files into the system folders and sets up hundreds (or thousands) of entries in the registry that your Win7 configuration will not have access to. The only way to use these programs under Win7 as well as your Vista boot config, you will need to install the app under Win7 too.
Hello, I do not think you could do what you want in a dual boot configuration. The reason for it not being possible is because when you boot on a dual configuration, you could only start either Vista or Windows 7. In order for you to start a program installed on a different harddrive and a different os would be if both operating systems were on and you have the correct permissions. Mind you, you could probably access files on the other operating system not running as long as the Computer recognizes the other drive/operating system and you have the correct permissions. You could probably see the User folder between computers.
You should be able to navigate in Windows Explorer to [Vista Drive]/Program Files/[your program] and start the executable file in that folder (it varies by program). Note that more complicated programs may - and probably won't - work because they need data to be in your registry.
You can find a more detailed explanation of a similar scenario here: http://forums.cnet.com/running-existing-programs-on-dual-boot-with-win-7-programs/7723-19411_102-328134.html
I assume you are dual booting Windows 7 and Windows Vista. What you want to to do is access programs installed under the respective other operating system, e.g. access a program installed in Windows Vista while you are booted into Windows 7. Is that correct?
Or did you install one program using a virtual machine? Please update us. Thank you!
Yes, that is exactly what I want to do. I have all my programs installed in Vista but I want to run them in Windows 7 too.

At Home in the SkyDome
September 29, 2016
I just got back from Toronto, the first time I had been there in a really long time—certainly before all the fancy buildings went up. The city could easily have passed for the set of Tomorrowland. And that's only a slight exaggeration.

Jayne Sparks, a potty-mouthed, rebellious seventeen-year-old and her best friend, shy and bookish Tony Green, have a pretty typical high school existence, until several seemingly unrelated incidents converge, causing a cascade of events that change their lives forever. Jayne and Tony, together with a group of runaway teens, are hijacked and sent into a forest, where nothing and no one are as they seem. Who will emerge triumphant? And what will they be when they do?
**No sex or drugs. Yes, contains some violence and foul language - some might say excessive foul language. Not meant for middle-grade readers (less than 15 years of age).**
I've known NYT bestseller Elle Casey for a few years now, and our books have had the pleasure of sharing fae-themed bundles, so including her in this StoryBundle was a no-brainer. Her War of the Fae series features a smart-mouthed, sassy teen who discovers that the world of the fae is all too real. In addition to her YA fae books, Elle is hard at work on multiple series in multiple genres, and is basically an unstoppable force of nature. – Anthea Sharp
I loved this book—staying up to the wee hours of the night in order to read the whole thing in one sitting. The tale is told in first person POV and the POV character, Jayne, is refreshing. She's aware of her shortcomings, has some sass to her and an underlying nature of care and kindness that made her, and the book, very approachable.– Amazon Review
The pacing and suspense in this book are perfect. There's enough description to immerse the reader in the adventure, but not enough to get bogged down in. The minor characters they encountered were fascinating and really well drawn.– Amazon Review
I finished the 7 book series of Jayne and her new life as Fae. It really is a great read, very entertaining. A page turner! I stayed awake many late nights trying to read just a little bit more, one more chapter, unfortunately I kept falling asleep, and got bonked in the nose with my Kindle....I LOVE the dialogue, and "smartassy" banter back and forth with Jayne and the other characters!– Amazon Review
I just happened upon this book on Amazon and was so surprised by how much I liked it. The premise is very interesting and the characters are great. The protagonist is absolutely hilarious and had me laughing out loud many times, which I almost never do while reading. I read the whole series in a few days, it's that addictive. I couldn't pull myself away from my kindle unless I HAD to. I would recommend it to any reader.– Amazon Review
"Okay, so we're here ... now what?" I hitched my backpack up over my shoulder, looking around the Miami train station. I was hoping Tony had a plan because I sure didn't.
"You guys lost?"
Tony and I turned to look at the guy walking up to us. He seemed to be about our age, maybe a little bit older, definitely scruffier. I was immediately suspicious.
"No, we're not lost, but thanks," said Tony, brushing him off. He dropped his bag from his shoulder to the ground, fishing around in it for what turned out to be a map.
"Why do you need a map if you're not lost?" asked the guy, now standing over Tony's stooped form.
I seriously wasn't in the mood for this. "Dude, we've got a map, therefore, we're not lost. Do you mind?"
He held up his hands in mock surrender. "Yeah, hey, no problem. I was gonna offer you some help, but I guess you don't need it. See ya later." He strolled away, sitting down on a nearby bench and pulling out a cigarette.
"So where are we, Tony?" I asked in a low voice, keeping my eye on Mr. Helpful over on the bench, sure he was up to something.
Tony stood up next to me, showing me the map. "Well, we're here, at the station."
"And we're going ... ?"
"I'm not sure."
I left off monitoring Mr. Helpful to roll my eyes at Tony. "Whaddya mean, you don't know? Where're we going next?"
Tony shrugged his shoulders. "Wherever you want."
"Tony, this was your plan! Where are we going? I'm gonna have to call my mom and tell her, eventually."
"Well, to be honest, my plan was to get out of town. I didn't really think much beyond that; I figured you'd come up with something."
I put my fingers on the bridge of my nose, pinching it and squeezing my eyes shut, trying to stop the flood of swear words that were about to fly out of my mouth. "Tones, do you mean to tell me we came all the way down to Miami with fifty bucks between us and no plan at all?"
He looked at me through his impossibly horrible glasses, nodding soundlessly.
I glanced at Mr. Helpful who was smirking, blowing out obnoxious smoke rings.
"Sure you don't need my help?" he asked loudly, not even looking over at us.
I grabbed the map, frustrated, and went over to the bench, Tony on my heels. "Fine. You want to help? Tell us a good place to get some cheap dinner and maybe sleep too." I thrust the map towards him.
The weather was nice; I was thinking we could probably just find a nice spot on a beach somewhere and not worry about spending any money. It would be like camping in the Girl Scouts - not that I had ever done that or anything.
"You don't need a map, just follow me." He got up from the bench, rolling his cigarette between his two fingers until the ash fell off the end.
Tony and I looked at each other. Man, I wished I could speak telepathically with him because I really didn't want Mr. Helpful hearing what I wanted to say.
Tony didn't worry so much about that stuff, apparently. "I don't know, Jayne. We don't even know this guy."
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. Name's Jared ... Jared Bloodworth." Mr. Helpful held out his hand to Tony, putting the no-longer-lit cigarette butt in his front pocket with the other. "You've got nothing to worry about. I'll show you where I stay and you can decide if you want to stay there too or not; it's up to you. Sometimes there's food, too."
Tony took his offered hand, shaking it firmly. I continued to watch Mr. Helpful ... Jared ... trying to figure out if he had any ulterior motives hidden behind his dark brown eyes. I kinda suck at that though, so I gave up, shrugging my shoulders. Tony had his gun, and this guy didn't look too dangerous. He had kind of a freaky name, but that wasn't his fault. He was skinny and not much bigger than me, with brown hair swept around in a casual rocker kind of style. I was thinking I could take him if I had a little adrenaline rush going for me, which I probably would if he were trying to kill me. He looked like he could use a shower, but he didn't exactly appear homeless. His clothes were in decent shape. I still couldn't figure out the cigarette thing, though. Why did he put that disgusting filter in his pocket? I guess it was better than dropping it on the ground. Maybe he was a save-the-environment freak.
Jared strolled ahead of us, not seeming to care whether we followed or not. We walked a few blocks away from the train station, down some streets and alleys, into a commercial warehouse area. It was pretty rundown, some of the businesses having closed a long time ago. Our destination was in the back of a warren of single-story warehouses covered in graffiti.
Jared stopped in front of a beige metal door with a heavy-duty lock on it - the kind that has a thick metal plate over the latch area so no one can pick the lock or crowbar the door open. He banged on the door with his fist. "Open up, it's me, Jared."
Tony and I looked at each other. He put his hand in his bag, making me suddenly very nervous. The last thing I wanted to see was that gun coming out and Tony playing Rambo again.
We heard the lock click open. The door opened a crack while whoever was inside verified it was Jared standing there. The door opened a little bit more and then stopped. "Who the hell are they?" The female voice coming from within didn't sound very happy.
"Don't worry about it," said Jared, pushing on the door, opening it the rest of the way, the girl stepping back to make room. "After you," he said, gesturing to the gloomy dark interior.
Even though it was dark inside, the girl at the entrance was easy enough to see, illuminated by the light of the late afternoon Miami sun - bright and hot as hell. She was tall and skinny, a little dirty, hair almost scrappy-looking. None of this, though, could obscure her beautiful face.
Tony was awestruck. I elbowed him in the stomach so he would close his mouth, afraid he was going to drool on me. Tony's reticence about entering the dark warehouse disintegrated in the face of this Aphrodite standing in front of him. He stepped forward, entering the building and disappearing into the blackness within.
Jared stood looking at me expectantly. "What are you afraid of?"
Pfft. "Nothing," I said. False bravado is my friend. I stepped into the darkness behind Tony, hoping I wasn't about to become a teen runaway statistic.

A million dollar preservation project can be a little daunting– but thankfully, due to a $50,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission the decisions on where to start became a little easier. The Massachusetts Historical Commission, through the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund, provided much needed matching funds to the Save America's Treasures grant– specifically for window conservation.
And so the summer of surveying windows ensued. Beauport began as a small weekend retreat in 1909 and over the next 27 years was expanded upon until, basically, Sleeper ran out of land. Today, the house is over 14,000 square feet and houses approximately 40 rooms. Sleeper was a master recycler– even before it was termed 'green'– by reusing windows from earlier versions of the house in the newer additions and even installing sash units from buildings slatted for demolition. Today, the house includes 106 window openings with approximately 249 individual sash units in 60 different dimensions and over 5000 individual panes of glass. The house also has 10 skylights and 10 exterior doors. During the meticulous survey, each unit was numbered, photo documented from the exterior and interior, and a conditions assessment was performed to categorize the units into phases of work over the next three years.
The current conditions of the wood windows at Beauport indicate surface glazing failure, cracking and flaking exterior paint, and deterioration of the bed glazing, which allows water to enter the building and deteriorate the interior paint on the muntins and sills. The first phase of window conservation work is tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Ambreen, It hasn't even been a month for you and I can promise you that you are still in shock. It may not feel like it. First, I just want to tell you that I am so sorry for your loss. This Christmas eve will make two years for me. It all could have happened last week. It's a shame that anyone would expect you to move on this early, but you have to be your own advocate. Feel what you feel. People will give advice. Even me. I will give you advice, but everyone's journey is different. No two people grieve the same way. Your relationship with your mom was unique to you and her. No one knows exactly how you feel. I do know one thing. You love your mama. I love mine. I don't say loved, because that love didn't die. It can't. Take care of yourself as best you can. Please feel free to come her and vent. You have found a group of people who have lost their moms and are having a very hard time dealing with it. I know this much, there is no ideal way to lose your mom. It hurts, regardless of the circumstances, it hurts badly. You are not alone. I will pray for you. And I won't forget about you after I pray. I'm pulling for you. If you have any questions, please ask us. God Bless You, my friend. There are no magic words that will make you feel better. Just know that you are not alone.
Ambreen, Brett is right you are in shock, I was in a fog/haze for one year.
Today marks two years for my mom, my love for her will never change, but I now understand I can't change lifes events, I have to learn to live again, somehow.
God bless.
Thank you Brett and Theresa for your emotional support.Brett my circumstances are somehow similar to you.I preferred to work as a freelancer just for my mother,because I want to stay with her,when she fell ill,I stopped taking projects because I wanted to look after my mother properly,because she was my whole world...she loved me,understood me and my problems,she always took stand for me..on her last days she requested to my brother , take care of my daughter, never hurt her.. now my world is empty... I am all alone. I am surrounded by a deep silence.. I try to work.. when get tired.. I just lie down in bed, cover me with a blanket, spend several hours like that, everybody thinks I am doing work. I spend every night by waking up on hourly basis and watching the clock, waiting for the morning,no body is understanding me or may be I am taking them wrong..I am feeling that I would never be able to come out of this trauma.
I imagine that you are not taking them wrong. There are degrees of separation. My own brothers and sister do not understand what I am going through because they were not as close to my mom as I was.
Try to do what you can. Keeping busy helps. It can give you some sense of purpose. Taking care of my mom was my purpose. Now that's gone. I have not found a new purpose but I continue to look for one. You need to rest now. You have experienced a trauma, but anything you can do, even going for a walk can help. You can come out of this. It may take a long time. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Take baby steps. We took care of our moms. Now we have to at least try to take care of ourselves.
Theresa, I will be thinking about you today. Thinking and praying.
Brett Thank you so much the days I missed over and I did get through it

12 Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing. 14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her canopy.
Joel 2:12-16
As I talk to many of my friends who are unchurched I have often been asked, "What relationship really matters to you, pastor?"
My answer is not simple but consistent," The relationship that matters most to me is my relationship with Jesus Christ. I am committed to following Jesus and still there are times when I am overwhelmed in my quest to live for Jesus. This wonderful relationship can be draining as I go to rehearsal, LIFE groups, committee meetings and spending time studying and in prayer. As a result every once and a while I need to be recharged.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, lent is a time to restart and refresh your relationship with God through reconnecting with the spiritual disciplines that sustain us in this Christian journey. Lent is a 40 day season of self-denial and an opportunity to evaluate your relationship with God.
One spiritual discipline referenced in the scripture is fasting. Fasting is a time of cleansing the heart as well as the body. This could include getting rid of the toxic relationships, negative attitudes and distractions. Cleansing our lives of negative spiritual and emotional junk so that our lives are focused on hearing, following and living for Christ is the essence of fasting.
Prayer: God, move all distractions from my life that would keep me from focusing on serving you with my whole heart.

5 iPhone X Alternatives With Edge-to-Edge Displays
Smartphone displays that almost cover its front are called edge-to-edge displays. The concept has been around for the past few years, but was validated again with the iPhone X Apple Announces iPhone X & iPhone 8: Everything You Need to Know What's so special about the iPhone X? Can you really justify the $999 price tag, or is the refined iPhone 8 a better buy? Read More . Apple's newest smartphone bears a big 5.8-inch display when measured diagonally, fit into a body only slightly larger than 4.7-inch iPhones.
That's the biggest benefit of an edge-to-edge display: you can accommodate a huge viewing area without making the phone too unwieldy. Apple wants to charge you $999 for this pleasure, further pushing the price boundaries of smartphones. But here's the thing: if edge-to-edge is what you want, there are several Android phones already on sale that do more or less the same thing.
So today, we're looking at the top five alternatives to the iPhone X, that have a screen-to-body ratio of nearly 80 percent.
1. Essential Phone
Essential Phone in Black Moon – 128 GB Unlocked Titanium and Ceramic phone with Edge-to-Edge Display Essential Phone in Black Moon – 128 GB Unlocked Titanium and Ceramic phone with Edge-to-Edge Display Buy Now On Amazon $599.90
Created by Android founder Andy Rubin, the Essential Phone PH-1 packs all the goodness to be expected from a modern smartphone. Chief among those is the near-bezel-less design. Announced in late May 2017 The Father of Android Launches the Essential Phone The Essential Phone is a new Android handset from Andy Rubin, the father of Android. Or at least it will be eventually. Right now, it's a collection of specs and renders. Read More , the Essential Phone's display covers its front face almost entirely. Well, save for the cutout up top to accommodate the front-facing camera and a small chin at the bottom that packs the display circuitry.
The cutaway on the top isn't as jarring as the iPhone X's sensor housing, which has a lot more components to help with Apple's Face ID biometric authentication system. And while we're comparing, it's worth pointing out that the Essential Phone is carved out of premium materials like a ceramic back and titanium sides. The company claims titanium should withstand drops better than aluminum borders used on most phones.
By now, you've probably figured out that this phone is a premium device, and the internals do measure up similarly. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip with 4GB RAM is coupled with a capacious 128GB of internal storage. Expect swift performance because this phone has absolutely no bloatware out of the box — it's unmodified Android just like Google Pixel phones.
The only sore point recurring with Essential Phone reviews is its lackluster camera performance. Although reviewers have noted that during testing, the phone received software updates that improved image quality, although not satisfactorily. By the way, the Essential Phone also supports magnetically attached modular accessories like a 360-degree camera, purchased separately.
If you like how the Essential Phone looks and don't care about the camera as much, maybe it's worth taking a look at.
2. Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+
Samsung SM-G950 Galaxy S8 Unlocked 64GB - US Version (Midnight Black) - US Warranty Samsung SM-G950 Galaxy S8 Unlocked 64GB - US Version (Midnight Black) - US Warranty Buy Now On Amazon $184.99
The Samsung Galaxy S8 The Greatest Smartphone You Shouldn't Buy: Samsung Galaxy S8 Review (and Giveaway!) The $800 Samsung Galaxy S8 is, without question, the best smartphone ever made. But you probably shouldn't buy one. Read More duo were one of the earlier launches of the year to adopt the bezel-free trend. Dubbed as the "Infinity Display", the smaller Galaxy S8 packs a 5.8-inch AMOLED display with tiny bezels on the top and bottom of the smartphone. While the bigger Galaxy S8+ packs in an even-larger 6.2-inch display. Like the iPhone X, this is the first time Samsung too dropped the physical home button but replaced it with an onscreen version.
Apart from the gorgeous display and design, the Galaxy S8 models are powered by the Snapdragon 835 chip (or the Exynos 8895 in some regions), 4GB RAM, and 64GB of onboard storage. They are IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, support fast and wireless charging, and have class-leading rear cameras.
The only downside to these devices is the awkwardly-placed fingerprint scanner, right next to the rear camera lens. You can use the built-in iris scanner instead, but it's reported to have some security flaws.
The LG V30 is packed to the gills with features, starting with a big 6-inch Quad HD+ OLED display that's fit into a body that doesn't feel gigantic. The V-series LG phones are typically meant to excel in the audio-visual department, and the V30 offers several features in this regard.
For starters, the display is HDR10 and Dolby Vision compatible, just like the iPhone X. The rear camera packs a large f/1.6 aperture that should help capture more light for better photos. A secondary rear camera lens takes shots with a 120-degree wide angle view. This means you can accommodate a wider view without having to move backwards. For video capture, the phone comes armed with 16 professional color grading options. A Point Zoom feature lets you smoothly magnify to a portion of the frame.
To satisfy the audiophiles, the LG V30 comes with a 32-bit Quad DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that improves the audio output to headphones connected via the 3.5mm jack. The company has also partnered with Bang & Olufsen and packs a pair of branded headphones in the package.
Powering all these features is the Snapdragon 835 chip, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage, with a microSD card slot for expansion. The phone is not only water resistant but also passes some of the MIL-810G endurance tests, suggesting that it should deal with drops better than others. The only gripe reviewers have reported in their tests is a somewhat underwhelming front-facing camera.
4. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
Xiaomi released the second generation of its popular Mi Mix overseas. While the first model was largely restricted to China, the Mi Mix 2 will sell in 40+ markets (but not the United States). But to the interest of our American readers, this phone supports all major U.S. LTE bands, so you could technically use an imported one just fine.
Designed in collaboration with French designer Philippe Starck, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 bears a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display. There's a tiny slit for an earpiece above the display, and the front-facing camera is moved to the bottom. Like the Essential Phone, Mi Mix 2's back is made of ceramic too. The Snapdragon 835 powers the Mix 2 with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Software-wise, the Mi Mix 2 runs the company's MIUI 9-user interface on top of Android 7.1. The 12MP single-lens camera at the back is stabilised by a four-axis mechanism. A large 3,400mAh battery also packs in enough juice to power the phone an entire day.
LG G6 - 32 GB - Unlocked (AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon) - Black LG G6 - 32 GB - Unlocked (AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon) - Black Buy Now On Amazon $219.99
The LG G6 LG G6 Review (and Giveaway) Read More is the V30 without the steroids. It's got a slightly smaller 5.7-inch display packed into a comfortable-to-hold body. The display is HDR10 and Dolby Vision compliant and has a tall 18:9 aspect ratio, just like its sibling. The Snapdragon 821 chip isn't exactly best-of-breed but plenty fast for smooth operation.
The dual camera setup features a similar standard-angle and a 125-degree wide-angle lens. Although, the V30 doesn't have an apparent fish-eye effect when clicking from the wide lens like the G6. The G6 has IP68 water and dust resistance, and the phone has passed 14 military standard 810G tests. Meaning it's relatively better equipped to survive a fall than others that haven't been certified.
The software is laden with several features to make the most of the hardware. It makes good use of the tall screen. For instance, you can see photo previews on half the screen with the viewfinder open in the other half.
The phone charges via a USB Type-C port with QuickCharge 3.0 support. The LG G6 isn't as pricey as it used to be. Some might even say it's a steal for the current price.
If all the above are way too expensive for you, might we also point to the Doogee Mix. It's an under-$200 phone with an edge-to-edge design similar to the Xiaomi Mi Mix. We walked away fairly satisfied with our review of the phone Doogee Mix: Beautiful "Bezel-Less" Phone for under $200 The Doogee Mix is a $200 clone of the Mi Mix, done right. Featuring dual rear sensor camera, almost bezel less display, and few compromises on performance, we might be onto a winner here. Read More .
Also, if you're willing to wait, there are two more all-screen phone launches nearby: the Google Pixel XL 2 (based on leaked images) will also have an edge-to-edge display, and also upcoming is the Nokia 9 (of which press renders suggest a similar design).
Do you think edge-to-edge displays are a good idea? Are you worried about them breaking easier than phones that had bezels all around? Sound off in the comments below.

The birth of galaxies
We cannot see anything that happened during the first 300 000 years of the Universe. Scientists try to work it out from their knowledge of atomic particles and from computer models.
The only direct evidence of the Big Bang itself is a faint glow in space. Spacecraft and telescopes on balloons see this as a patchy pattern of slightly warmer and cooler gas all around us. These ripples also show where the hydrogen clouds were slightly denser.
As millions of years passed, the dense areas pulled in material because they had more gravity. Finally, about 100 million years after the Big Bang, the gas became hot and dense enough for the first stars to form.
New stars were being born at a rate 10 times higher than in the present-day Universe. Large clusters of stars soon became the first galaxies.
The Hubble Space Telescope and powerful ground-based telescopes are now beginning to find galaxies that were created about one billion years after the Big Bang. These small galaxies were much closer together than galaxies are today. Collisions were common. Like two flames moving towards each other, they merged into bigger galaxies. Our Milky Way galaxy came together in this way.

Happiness is a Warm Gun
I get it. I finally understand the NRA and the Second Amendment. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. No gun has ever lifted up and fired itself and the only species with an opposable thumb capable of that kind of muscle control is the human. Damn humans. Of course, it's only the crazies that ever cause any problems. In fact, since there are 100,000 people shot in America every year, that's a lot of crazies. There's clearly a problem with the mental health system in this country.
The second amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I'm in. Where's the militia into which I can enroll? Oh, it's not that formal anymore? Cool! Where's my musket? Oh, you have to provide your own? Fine. OK, only one problem. I can't find any muskets for sale. Oh, it doesn't have to be as musket? Great! Any "Arm" will do? Wonderful!
I just bought a Defendthehomestead AR-15 manufactured by Lookatmeimapatriot, Inc. It's a newer model. The old model was banned under that stupid Assault Weapons Ban, you know, the one that was part of that fornicating Clinton's liberal agenda under H.R.3355, The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. It stated under Section 110102:
`(30) The term `semiautomatic assault weapon' means–
`(A) any of the firearms, or copies or duplicates of the firearms in any caliber, known as–
`(i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models);
`(ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil;
`(iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
`(iv) Colt AR-15;
`(v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
`(vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
`(vii) Steyr AUG;
`(viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
`(ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12;
`(B) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of–
`(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
`(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
`(iii) a bayonet mount;
`(iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and
`(v) a grenade launcher;
`(C) a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of–
`(i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
`(ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
`(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;
`(iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
`(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; and
`(D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of–
`(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
`(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
`(iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
`(iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine.'.
Thankfully, that piece of eastern, intellectual, elitist, liberal, socialism was allowed to expire in 2004. Who knew laws had expiration dates! Mine was not on the list because the manufacturer changed the color of my Defendthehomestead from "Black" to "Slightly Darker Black," thus getting around the law. I was also able to buy (actually, they were giving it away as part of a sales promotion) a large capacity magazine capable of holding 6 million rounds, a flash suppressor, pistol grip and grenade launcher. It's a little heavy, but I dare anyone to break into my house now! I keep it under my bed (which is now 4 feet off the ground), loaded and with the safety off. Safeties are for sissies. The little kids want to play with it, but I grunt and scratch and they run back to playing God of War II and watching Scarface. "Just hit 'reset', Johnny!"
I also recently bought a tank for the front yard and missile defense system for the backyard (which might explain the lack of birds at the birdfeeder. I'll have to talk with the Audubon society about that. Clearly there are some birds with mental problems too.) We have a small lake behind our house and I've asked the home owner's association if it would be alright for me to tie-up my battleship there. I wanted a submarine, but the deterrent factor wasn't the same. I'm sure the Socialist Party (some still call it the Democratic Party) will have a problem with it, but I belong to Republican, Inc., the newly formed conglomeration of the old Republican Party, big business and lobbyists, now acting as the political wing of my beloved NRA, so they'll have to come pry my battleship from my cold, dead, opposable thumb capable hands.
I know everything about everything, and I'd like to discuss loosening the python-like grip of constricting gun laws in this country, but I've been told to believe by my NRA leadership (who must have much bigger weapons than me), that the "events" in Colorado are still too raw to allow a discussion on gun control. That's politics and, God knows, talking can be deadly. God Bless the U.S. of (NR)A.

There are a variety of ways to support Bideawee. In many cases donors find that providing the organization with a gift of stock has multiple benefits. The example that follows illustrates how a gift of stock to Bideawee can benefit the donor and the organization. If you have questions regarding any donation instrument please contact the Bideawee Development group at 866-262-8133.
Cash Gift:
Frank and Estelle have been a supporters of Bideawee for years and are looking for a way to give more. They would like to make a gift of $10,000. If Frank and Estelle write a check to Bideawee for $10,000, they will receive a charitable tax deduction. If Frank and Estelle are in the income tax bracket of 35%, they will reduce their taxes by $3500 ($10,000 X 35%). The net cost of the gift to Frank and Estelle is $6500 ($10,000-$3500).
Stock Gift:
Now, instead of donating cash, Frank and Estelle decide to give $10,000 of publicly traded stock they purchased ten years ago for $2000. They will be able to claim a $10,000 charitable tax deduction, just like for the gift of cash, reducing his taxes again by $3500.
In addition, Frank and Estelle can now avoid paying capital gains tax on the $8000 long-term gain they would have had to pay had they sold the stock, rather than donating it. Assuming Frank and Estelle are in a capital gains tax bracket of 20%, they would have paid capital gains taxes of $1600 ($8000 x 20%).
By donating the stock, they eliminated the tax liability and the net cost of their gift is reduced to $4900 ($10,000 - $3,500 - $1,600).

Robot makers have always used small animals, fish and insects as samples to build their robots. These robots lead to innovations in some sophisticated science fields like computing and electrical engineering.
Harvard university is working on a new innovative project called the Harvard Robobee which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Building and controlling tiny robots is a complex task. This was discussed by the project members in an article in scientific American in March 2013. One of the major challenges that the team faces is the power source ability to make the heavy robots fly at the first place.
According to scientists, robotic bees will be used in different aspects of life starting from pollinate field crops and environment exploration to military surveillance.
To solve the problem of power sources scientists have created what is called solar powered wings to provide energy to the new miniature robots they are designing. In addition to that, they have equipped these robots with ultra low power computing and electronic sensors.
Because of the decline in the bee population, scientists are working days and nights to create robots imitating the real bee colonies. These robots can serve as a real pollinator of field corps and they can manage to do many other tasks in all the aspects of life.

It can't break you apart
You are too whole
Pain sears your insides and
you collapse into aloneness
Wondering why it keeps hitting you
Wondering why it is so hard
Just to get up
Just to get up
The pain steals your will
And yet you keep rising
To the challenge
The pain steals your choices
And yet you keep choosing
To live wholly
The pain consumes you
In moments of despair
And you break free
Again and again
Reaching up
Reaching out
To those who love you
You are the unbreakable ones
The heroines who catch yourselves
Even when the pain pulls you
Tears you
Strikes the core of who you are
You are unbreakable
You find love
You find compassion
You find your voice,
your strong, determined voice.
The pain will never break you
You are too whole
–I wrote this poem for the women in my dissertation study. They all suffered from chronic pelvic pain. I felt so inspired by their grace and perseverance.

Restaurant Cash Advance Offers Help to Restaurateursby Narjeet Kumar Complete Business solution
USA – April 24, 2014. Restaurant owners can now breathe a sigh of relief with the recent announcement of Restaurant Cash Advances. This finance company offers restaurant cash advance to restaurateurs who are under financial strains and are not able to expand because of their lack of funds.
Restaurant owners sometimes cannot expand their operations or buy the necessary equipment or have their facilities repaired because of money problems. This is where merchant cash advance which can be in the form of unsecured business loans can be of help.
With the help of these financial instruments, a restaurateur continues to build and expand his business and not wait until he saves enough money to execute his plans. These unsecured business loans are indeed great alternatives to securing bank loans. With a merchant cash advance, a restaurant owner does not need to cover his loan with collateral. He will not be required to provide a personal guarantee, the documentation process is simple and easy, and he is not required to pay fixed monthly payments.
With Restaurant Cash Advances, there is no need for a restaurant owner to worry whether his loan will be approved or not. As long as his restaurant does merchant sales as part of their business, his unsecured business loans will be released. This arrangement is available whether a restaurant is big or not.
This company has the lowest rates in the industry and their approval percentage is nearly 100%.
About Restaurant Cash Advances
This company offers financial services to restaurant owners in the form of restaurant cash advances. Their cash advance programs provides up to 300% of monthly processing volume and they don't have any caps on total dollar funding amounts.

I write about Domestic Violence from a family member's point of view. I was shocked to learn my sister's death fell under domestic violence. I think we are aware, as a society, of the horrors one can face when in a controlling relationship. However, since this is one segment of violence that crosses all boundaries, I really don't think we can say enough about the subject. So, today, I will share the Wheel of Power & Control. I was directed to this image, shortly after Cristi's death, four years ago. Read it. Ponder it. Learn to understand it. Then, if you can identify yourself in any of the roles — change your behavior. Change the way you think about the world. Remember, we all deserve respect. We each have as much right to be here as the next person. Our individual rights do not include controlling others.

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is offered on a short-term basis with a counselor to discuss a personal concern relating to academic difficulties, stress, relationship problems, anxiety, depression or other personal matters. When there is a need for longer-term care, the UCS staff may offer some of our group services. In cases where there is the need for, 'specialized care' or a 'higher level of care', the UCS staff will help students consider options in the community.
Group Counseling
Group counseling involves a small number of students who meet to discuss a common concern. The supportive atmosphere in group counseling can be of help to many because individuals typically learn that they are not alone with their feelings and experiences. We recommend that interested students call the UCS for more information. An individual information session may be required prior to joining some of our groups. We also rely on groups to help us manage the demand for individual counseling, so at busy times of the academic year we may encourage students to try a group or to consider a referral to another university or community resource for individual care.
Psychiatric Services
Psychiatric consultation is available for students who wish to consider how a medication might become a helpful adjunct to their counseling and/or general healthcare. Our part-time psychiatrists will also consult with students to assist them in continuing or discontinuing a medication. Students who have existing connections with a psychiatrist at home or in the Greater Cleveland area are encouraged to keep that connection because our psychiatry hours are limited. Please note: we do not offer emergency psychiatry appointments, so when they arise, we refer students to local hospitals.
Psychological Testing
Psychological testing may help clarify personal or academic issues and be beneficial to the counseling process. Tests are administered on an individual basis and results are discussed in the counseling sessions.
Consultation Services
Consultation services are offered for faculty, staff, and students who are trying to help another person through difficult times. A UCS staff member can speak in confidence and offer ideas on how to help.
Referrals are occasionally recommended to one of the numerous services available through Student Affairs and the university community. Our staff can provide information to students seeking help and to faculty or staff attempting to refer students to a helping agency. Occasionally, students will need longer-term counseling and UCS staff will provide information about private referrals and university health insurance coverage.

Giving Gifts on Boxing Day
Although Boxing Day isn't observed in the U.S., it's a popular holiday in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. It falls the day after Christmas, Dec. 26. In the old days, alms for the poor were collected in wooden boxes as part of church observances. On the day after Christmas, the accumulated monies from these boxes were distributed to the needy. It was also the day service employees like maids were able to celebrate Christmas because they often worked on Dec. 25.
Over time, a tradition grew from the practice of awarding monetary gifts on this date, and today service and public workers are rewarded for their hard efforts on or around Boxing Day. That bonus for the mailman or charitable donation is in keeping with the spirit of the Boxing Day celebration. It demonstrates that kindness and generosity are both important.

Emeryville Police Department
Black Males Are Suspect, Black Females Too
Our Government Undermines Our Values
News Analysis/Opinion
Emeryville's Police Department releases monthly crime information to the public. They want us to know that among the crimes committed, earlier this month, a victim was robbed at gun point by three men at 6399 Christie Avenue. More pressingly they want us to know about the suspects, presumably so we can be on the look out for them. Who are the suspects? "Three Black males" says EPD. That's it; three Black males. Nothing about what direction they fled or what they were wearing or how old they appeared to be or anything else about what they looked like other than the fact they are 'Black'. But let's not forget Black females. Another crime happened as reported in this month's crime blotter at 3839 Emery Street, the location of Ulta cosmetics store. The police want us to know the description of a shoplifter at Ulta who fled the scene; that suspect is a black female you understand. Again, nothing else has been offered as to the physical characteristics of the female, just that she's 'Black'. Why are they telling us only the race of the suspects? What are we supposed to do with this information?
This is how the Emeryville Police Department's publicly offered crime blotter forwards a racist meme about Blacks and crime. The idea behind the blotter ostensibly is so citizens can know about crime in their town and to disseminate information to enlist the public to help bring perpetrators to justice. We don't know if the Police Department is withholding other information about the suspects in this month's blotter beyond the fact they are Black. We imagine that's all the information the police have for whatever reasons. But why do they feel a need to tell us the suspect's race? Will that fact help bring anybody to justice without any other physical descriptions offered? As a faithful copy and paster of the EPD crime blotter every month, why does the right wing blog in Emeryville, the E'Ville Eye also want us to know these suspects are Black?
Why are they doing this? Is this a public service?
The answer is NO, this information will not help anybody. It WILL hurt people however. It will hurt citizens both directly and indirectly. It hurts everyone. The E'Ville Eye and the Emeryville Police Department are collaborating on a project to perpetuate racist stereotypes. The City of Emeryville also publishes the racist stereotypes on its website. It's being done in our name.
How do we know this is racist? Besides the obvious nature of it, we put it to the test and the Emeryville Police Department itself showed us it's racist. We called the police after we saw a gentleman walking down the sidewalk along San Pablo Avenue after the E'Ville Eye posted the crime blotter. The man in question was Black: and that fits the description of the suspects as described by the police. The police officer came out to take down our information but was incredulous when we reported that we have no information specifically tying the gentleman to the crime. "How do you know he's one of the suspects (to the Christie Avenue robbery)?" the officer asked us. "Because you told us he's a suspect" was our response...."because he's black". The officer responded he thought the tip from us was "ridiculous"...and there's finally something we can agree on. But the Department as a whole thinks the Black gentleman walking down the sidewalk IS a suspect. The Emeryville Police Department crime blotter is clear: all Black males in Emeryville are suspects in the Christie Avenue robbery.
It's easy to see why the E'Ville Eye joyfully posts the EPD crime blotter every month; the racist stereotyping dovetails with that blog's right wing views, affirms the reader's predilections towards this kind of sociopathy and drives clicks resulting in more ad revenue for Rob Arias, the editor of that blog. But why does the Emeryville Police Department do it? It's hard for us to imagine our police department is purposefully forwarding racist stereotypes (but we should be open to the idea that may be indeed what's being done). We think more likely it's being done out of ignorance and insensitivity. This Department is ours, the people of Emeryville. Emeryville is not racist. The Police Department needs to cease this odious activity. If they're going to tell us about suspects in specific crimes, they need to tell us information beyond the suspect's race, otherwise this Department is subverting our Emeryville values.
From the blotter this month:
District 3
6399 Christie Ave., #330: A male victim was robbed at gunpoint. LOSS: An iPhone, a laptop, an iPad, and several other cell phones. Suspects: (3) Black males.
District 5
Ulta, 3839 Emery St. #200: A shoplifter brandished a stun gun at employees and threaten to tase them to avoid detention. LOSS: Fragrances. Suspect: Black female.
