This is the Night They Come for You
"But for its human inhabitants and their killing frenzy, Algeria would be paradise."
On a hot and clammy afternoon in Algiers, veteran Police Superintendent Mouloud Taleb—staring at an unwelcome retirement after close to five decades of service—is handed what is probably the biggest, and most perilous, case of his career. He is to join Souad Hidouchi, a young female agent of the Algerian Secret Service on the hunt for Wassim Zarbi, who himself was a mighty intelligence operative for a long time until being thrown in prison for corruption twenty years ago. Zarbi is absconding from his house—where he was kept in consideration of his advanced age—and is presumably in pursuit of his former partner Nadir Laloul who had abandoned him all those years ago, skipping the country with the entire ill-gotten wealth.
Meanwhile, Stephen Gray in Hampshire, England receives an unexpected visitor from the remote past, with a strange request. Suzette, the daughter of an Englishman named Nigel Dalby—resident of Algiers since the 1960s until his death in the 1990s—wants Gray to read the copy of a document supposedly typed by her father and verify its authenticity, based on certain events described in it involving Gray.
Both the Algerian duo's manhunt and Gray's assignment take them, through their own separate paths, towards some explosive secrets about Algeria's recent history—about six decades of it—that have the potential to unsettle the power structure of Algeria and its former colonial master—France. Naturally, some powerful people, including certain government agencies, do not want these secrets to come to light and are quite prepared to eliminate those in the process of uncovering them. Thus unfolds an elaborate game of diabolical conspiracies, large-scale deception, blackmails and double-crossing in which the victors are the ones who escape with their lives intact, and This is the Night They Come for You is the gripping account of this lethal game.
Robert Goddard has a stellar reputation for delivering well-researched, intricately plotted thrillers set in a variety of locations and his latest offering bolsters this repute. In This is the Night They Come for You, Goddard masterfully blends historical fact with ingenious fiction to present a narrative that is both authentic and absorbing. The primary strength of this novel lies in the brilliantly etched characters; they are utterly realistic and command the reader's attention and sympathy. Particularly fascinating is the starkly contrasted characterization of Taleb and Hidouchi—mismatched on almost every count and acting under conflicting instructions from their superiors—and the subtle growth of their relationship from the bumpy beginning. The plot builds up slowly and steadily in intensity, with several compelling twists along the way, towards the exhilarating, highly satisfying finish. For readers with no knowledge about Algeria—myself included—This is the Night They Come for You offers considerable insight into the country's troubled recent history including its subjugation by the French, and the continuing exploitation even after decades of independence.
In short, This is the Night They Come for You is an outstanding thriller with a memorable cast of characters, a riveting plot and some top-notch writing by the acclaimed master of the genre. I greatly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a solid thriller with a lot of substance.
My sincere gratitude to Random House UK, Transworld Publishers for sharing with me a digital Advance Reader Copy of This is the Night They Come for You through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

As expected, AT&T has dropped their unlimited data plan. I love the Orwellian spin - "to Make Mobile Internet More Affordable to More People".
This appears to apply to all phones, not just the iPad/iPhone. They have also, as expected, introduced a tethering option. The tethering option is very limited however; it appears to have a 2GB limit.
So in the old days $30 got you unlimited data, but now $45 gets you data, tethering and a 2GB limit. Forget watching YouTube on the AT&T network.
There's no word yet on whether Apple will introduce some smart metering features to help track usage with OS 4. I hope they will. AT&T will send out text message notifications.
So what's the bright side?
AT&T has been selling capacity they didn't have. I'd love to see a zillion dollar fraud prosecution. Now, finally, that stops. They will be aligning their pricing with their network capacity. There's now hope, for the first time, that we'll get reasonable voice service on the iPhone.
Also, there's rumor that AT&T has said that current users can keep unlimited data when they get a new phone and new contract. I find that hard to believe.
Update 6/10/2010: The new contracts come with a secret 8 month old catch. Ohhhh, AT&T is evil-incarnate.

Everything is fine. It works. But, I don't want to have opened 80 port in security group.
So, when I am deleting 80 port

from security group, I am able to to look https://jenkins.mydomain.com with Login page

But when I am making Sign in action, I have timeout and then

A: I have these lines in my Jenkins location block:
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host "jenkins.example.com";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto "https";

Especially the latter is important, it tells Jenkins that it should generate https URLs.

It won't be the first time a showdown between a boxer and a cage fighter – two different sports – catches public imagination but many do believe that this particular match-up will be the first ever billion-dollar fight. There's a good chance it could be: both fighters are major stars in their respective sports.
Mayweather is one of the best boxers of the past few decades. His masterly defensive skills — 49 previous opponents discovered – suggest that he is more elusive than a Danube Sturgeon. Mayweather is the paragon of the art of to 'hit and not get hit'. In comparison, while McGregor is a first-rate mixed martial artist, he has never before boxed professionally. That is a key issue.
Any knowledgeable boxing fan knows that the fight is a foregone conclusion: McGregor will barely lay a glove on Mayweather throughout the whole 36 minutes spectacle — if it lasts that long. This 'mega-fight' is a billion-dollar mega-con.
Of course, the key part will always be the dollar signs, and there's good business at stake. Similarly, it's difficult to recall a time when boxing's most valuable fight could be made of such a ludicrous mismatch. Mad odds on McGregor winning will prompt swathes of ambitious gamblers to part with cash as the promotions fire up suggesting the fight is all fair play, anybody's to win.
The 39-year-old Mayweather commands serious fees to punch people — he is estimated to be worth around £300 million — and over the years he's been named the 'highest paid sportsman' on numerous occasions. In contrast, 28-year-old McGregor is worth around £17 million, but his ascent to stardom has been much more recent, and rather rapid. McGregor, his coach and his family will all be aware that, as brilliant as the Irishman is as a cage fighter, he'll stand close to zero chance against boxing's best man.
The build-up, however, could provide limitless entertainment as McGregor exhibits his astonishing capacity for hurling witty abuse (and sometimes cans) at his opponents, compared to Mayweather's more limited way with words and his bizarre conviction that money and bling are the be all and end all of human existence. The clash of minds will far outdo the clash of fists with this one.
Boxing's well-documented puppet master Mayweather has previously claimed he is 'happily retired', and many will wish he had stayed that way because the fight between the two men would likely be a dull affair with McGregor being thoroughly outclassed.
That one of the finest (and wealthiest) boxers of an era is to un-retire to punctuate his unbeaten career by fighting a debutant boxer, is surely a sign of the times. All we will learn from this potential 'billion-dollar' confrontation is how to market a faulty product at very little cost: boxing's biggest fight will have been made on the back of little more than a churlish Twitter-spat.
Many fans felt they had been left out of pocket after Mayweather's last 'mega-fight' against boxing's second best Manny Pacquiao. Millions will pay to watch again, except this time it will be an unparalleled night-time robbery for the paying public. Ding ding.

Jarrett Allen: 'I've been shooting 50-100 three's a day'

Share All sharing options for: Jarrett Allen: 'I've been shooting 50-100 three's a day'

While treating 45 children to free haircuts, school supplies, food, water and Gatorade on Thursday afternoon, Jarrett Allen briefly dealt with the basketball portion of his summer.
In English: The Nets center, still only 20-years-old, is shooting from downtown … a lot.
Allen, who will drilled 5-of-15 (33%) three-point attempts as a rookie last season, says he's worked extensively on improving that element of his game.
"I've been working in the gym a lot," he told NetsDaily. "Trying improve on my decision making. Then obviously shooting. You've got to work on shooting nowadays.
"(I've been working on it) literally every day. Shooting three's, mid-range, everything. I would say I'm shooting at least 50 (three's) a day. Almost one hundred."
So if you're reading this on Friday, just know that Allen has probably stroked another 50-100 three's …
Is this something Kenny Atkinson, wanted? As we know, the head coach has a deep affinity for the deep ball?
"It's him and it's me. I want to get better at it. In the new NBA you have to be able to shoot. That's really how the league is going right now, so, I need to adapt to the new age. I grew up watching back-to-the-basket. Now I've got to catch up with everything," said Allen with a laugh.
Outside of the three, Allen says he's also been working on his improving his basketball I.Q., which, of course, is part of the growing process for a young big man.
"Really just decision-making. Out of the pick-and-roll, if I can't roll straight to the rim, then making plays to pass to the corner, pass to the wing, things like that," he said.
Atkinson wants versatility and has been positively giddy about Allen from Day 1. So the near 7-footer – who started 31-of-72 appearances in his first NBA campaign – is working to prove his head coach right.
Allen expressed a level of excitement about the team's off-season moves and now training camp, which begins in late September. He thinks the Nets should be an improved bunch from a year ago.
"It's definitely been interesting," said Allen of the off-season. "I believe Sean (Marks) is making the right calls and he's trying to make us the best team we can be. I think that's where we're headed. We're going to have a better season this year. Next week we're going to start doing things together. It should be interesting."
Media Day will be here soon enough.

Jory Card, a graduating senior at the University of Oregon, has been doing all the right things to try to find a job.
As part of his bachelor�s degree in education in family and human services he completed two internships � one at Basic Rights Oregon and another at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in Washington, D.C.
He started his job search early � more than a year ago while he was interning. He has strengthened those connections and has expanded his network of contacts both in Oregon and in Washington, D.C. He constantly scours the Web for any new openings at nonprofits nationwide.
And still � just two weeks until graduation � no job.
�It�s been incredibly difficult,� Card said. �Typically nonprofits are one of the most accessible areas for young college graduates to find jobs in. But right now it�s just really hard because all of these organizations are primarily funded by donors and foundations and because of the economy the money isn�t coming in to fund these positions.
In these tough economic times, Card is more the rule than the exception.
Nearly 80 percent of job-hunting college seniors surveyed this spring by the National Association of Colleges and Employees said they hadn�t found a job.
Jeremy Goldsmith, who will graduate from the UO with majors in business administration and geography, said he�s had a much harder time finding a job than his friends did last year. He said he can think of only one friend who searched for work for more than six months after graduation last year.
�Right now, with my current portfolio of friends, we�re having a very difficult time finding jobs,� he said.
Goldsmith said he was drawn to the UO by its sports marketing program, and that�s the field he�s chosen as a career.
He has an unpaid sports marketing internship with the UO Athletic Department, and he�s trying to use those and other contacts, along with searching online, to find a job.
He said he interviewed several weeks ago for a marketing internship with the Seattle Seahawks, and he�s waiting to hear back.
If he doesn�t find work soon, his fallback plan is to keep his job as a Friday night deejay at Taylor�s, a bar near the university campus.
At least one member of the UO�s Class of 2009 will graduate on June 13 with a job in hand. Ashley Kennel, an accounting major, plans to start work on Sept. 30 at Ernst & Young�s Portland office.
Firms tend to recruit accounting majors more heavily than other business majors, Kennel said.
�It�s a high turnover rate, so they�re constantly trying to get new bodies in there,� she said.
Kennel said she chose her major because she took some accounting classes, found she was good at something that many people don�t enjoy, and knew that it would increase her chances of finding employment.
Kennel is excited about her new job, but she�s also sympathetic to friends who are still searching.
�I have to hang my head low a little bit and not talk about it too much,� she said.


Limestone is a commonly used building material. Limestone can be directly processed into stone, be fired as quicklime and be hydrated lime after adding water. It can also be used as coating material and brick adhesive. Limestone is soft and easily weathered. Its weathering degree varies greatly with the depth of rock mass burial. The rocks with shallow burial depth or on the surface are more weathered. These rocks are flaky, which can be directly used in buildings.
The deep buried limestone plate is thick, and its compressive strength and durability are ideal, which can be processed into decorative boards needed. According to mine topography and geological conditions, mining usually adopts open-pit mining method with top-down and horizontal steps. The mining process of limestone is generally divided into the following procedures. First, the down hole drilling machine to is used for drilling holes; then, blasting will be taken in medium deep holes. Next, we will use hydraulic excavators to load and send limestone to the crushing station.
In this process, the role of limestone crushing station can not be ignored. As for the choice of which machine to crush, the different needs of customers should be considered.
In modern industry, limestone is the main raw material for making cement and calcium carbide. It is an indispensable flux limestone in metallurgical industry. High quality limestone has been widely used in many fields such as paper making, rubber, paint, coating, medicine, cosmetics and so on after grinding by limestone ultra fine grinding mill.
As you can see, this requirements are relatively challenge. The machine has to meet the high fineness and high capacity simultaneously.
HGM 125 is chosen as the main equipment in the whole limestone processing plant at this time. HGM 125 can be equipped with the multi-head classifiers.
The multi-head classifiers which are widely used in our stone pulverizers have many benefits.
It is suitable for micron dry fine classification. More specifically, the multi-head classifier not only can classify scalable spherical, flake and needle-like particles, but also for the particles of different densities.
1. The classification fineness can get D97=2-45 micron. The fineness can be adjusted, thus facilitating in changing different fineness products.
2. The classification efficiency is between 60% and 80%, this especially works when processing good-mobility materials.
3. And the multi-head classifier is equipped with horizontal classifying turbine unit in high speed and accurate vertex cutting.
4. A closed loop is guaranteed when it is used with ball mill, vibration mill, Raymond mill and other grinding equipment.
5. PLC automatic control system, running real-time display, is easy to be operated.
6. Its negative pressure operation system makes that the dust emissions no more than 40mg/m3, and the noise is lower than 75dB(A) through soundproof measures.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Moby
Moby literally played his first show to promote the album in a Virgin Megastore basement, but in 2000 he was leading the MTV Campus Invasion tour. One mega-hit and lots of exposure catapulted Moby from relative obscurity to selling nearly 15 million albums worldwide after essentially none the first twelve months.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Matchbox 20
While rare, you see band with debut albums sell millions of copies only for the follow-ups to fade into oblivion. Today's featured band is one of those rarities. Pop on this album today and you'll be transported to 1997.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: AC/DC
AC/DC is iconic—what else needs to be said? This album alone has sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. Odds are you know and are familiar with AC/DC's hits. It's tough to not hear them on some form of radio, even now—and today you can pick up Highway to Hell for a song so get it while it's hot!
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Red Hot Chili Peppers
With 16 Grammy noms and more than 100 million albums sold to date, the Red Hot Chili Peppers certainly have staying power. Californication is the Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album and also their best selling to date. Today you can pick it up for only $6 and feel like you're on a beach in California.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Coldplay
Some people like to poke fun at Coldplay because of the softer feel, but it's no bother. Critical acclaim for this album was furious, Rolling Stone called Coldplay the 'best band of the year' and the album brought them a Grammy Award for 'Record of the Year' and it was number one on the charts and it has sold nearly 20 million copies to date.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Genesis
Invisible Touch is simply masterful. From top to bottom, the album runs through up-tempo standard pop, to thoughtful, introspective ballads. Out of eight tracks, six of them were successful singles and very popular radio staples to this day. This one today for $5 bucks is a steal.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Peter Frampton
Happy New Year, music fans! Generally, I like to swap calendars and reward myself with some new tunes. You know, give a band I've been meaning to get to for years a shot and see if they make the rotation. In 2018 however, I was inspired by a friend to go back to some absolute classic albums and determine where they fit in the all-time record books.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Sublime
Is it possible to be one of the more influential acts of the '90s while only releasing three records? Moreover, what if one of those albums came out posthumously after the lead singer's tragic passing? The 17 million albums sold worldwide would say it is—and their cult following, in spite of breaking up nearly 20 years ago, seems to have cemented their legacy.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Mariah Carey
Selling half a billion records is an accomplishment only The Beatles and Elvis can lay claim to—but selling a quarter billion is still one heck of a feat. Today's featured artist has hit that mark and is the third best-selling female artist of all time. No doubt her fifth album, "Daydream" contributed to that status (it was nominated for six Grammy Awards alone!). Today you can score it for only $5.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Heart
Start your 2017 off right by putting on some good tunes, and Heart's "Dreamboat Annie" certainly qualifies. Admittedly Heart isn't the first band I think of in terms of iconic 70's rock n' roll, but they should be more involved in the conversation than they seem to be—a very under appreciated act that has so many good records.

Hofstra University, in compliance with federal regulations, must obtain the voluntary permission from the student (or Parent, if a Parent PLUS loan) to apply Federal financial aid proceeds to pay for charges related to a prior term, future term or charges other than tuition, fees, room and board on the student's account.
The authorization form remains in effect while you are a Hofstra University student (including breaks in enrollment). It may be rescinded at any time(See Title IV Rescind Form).
By signing the form, any excess financial aid (either student or Parent PLUS) will be permitted to be applied to prior, future or certain miscellaneous charges on your student account (such as traffic fines, library fines and replacement ID cards). Importantly, this will help prevent an "account hold" for unpaid charges, which would block you from registering for future semesters, obtaining grades and receiving transcripts.
Student's accounts that are not paid in full are assessed late payment fees according to the published schedule and an Accounts Receivable Hold. This hold prohibits the student from participating in Hofstra's Open Registration process and also may prohibit participation from the annual Fall Room Selection process. In addition, the University reserves the right to withhold diplomas, certificates, transcripts and other University services until all financial obligations have been satisfied.
Be sure to check your portal account to ensure your student account is paid in full before important deadlines, such as Open Registration and Fall Room Selection process.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to protect the confidentiality of student education records. The law states that no one outside the institution shall have access to a student's education records, nor will the institution disclose any information from those records without the written consent of the student.
At the post-secondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student's education record. The right to inspect is limited solely to the student.
Parents may gain access to non-directory information (grades, GPA, etc.) only if they obtain consent from the student.
The preferred method to allow access to parents is through My.Hofstra.edu portal whereby the student can, at his or her discretion, grant access to his or her records online. A consent form, FERPA Student Release, is also available at the Student Financial Services Suite in Memorial Hall, or can be downloaded from Hofstra's web site.

The iconic blue plaque design has been the subject of regular experiment over the years. Plaques have been made of bronze, stone and lead, in square, round and rectangular forms, and have been finished in shades of brown, sage, terracotta and – of course – blue. Find out more below about how the plaque designs have evolved since the scheme began 150 years ago.
The earliest plaques, commissioned by the Society of Arts, were handmade by the pottery firm Minton, Hollins & Co. The inlaid or encaustic roundel had a distinctive border pattern with the letters of the name of the Society of Arts worked into the decorative design. Some were set into a painted wooden mount.
The very earliest plaques were blue, but this was an expensive and difficult colour to produce and over the next 35 years the Society mainly used a chocolate brown background.
After taking over the scheme in 1901, the London County Council (LCC) continued to use the Minton factory, and they developed a highly decorative laurel wreath border with ribbon embellishments. Although they regularly experimented with the design and the colour, the wreathed border was consistently used up until the Second World War.
Following a detailed report from the LCC's chief architect, blue ceramic plaques became standard from 1921 – they were felt to stand out best in the London streetscape. They were made by Doulton from 1923 to 1955. Between 1925 and 1926, Doulton made seven (of which five survive) with a colourful raised wreath border, known as a della Robbia style.
During the LCC era, plaques were sometimes made of bronze, stone and lead, some were square or rectangular, and they varied in colour between brown, sage, terracotta and blue.
In 1938, the modern design of the blue plaque was born, created by an unnamed student of the Central School of Arts and Crafts who was paid just four guineas for his or her trouble. This omitted the laurel wreath and ribbon border, and simplified the overall layout, allowing for a bolder spacing and arrangement of the lettering.
Since 1965, the GLC and English Heritage have continued – with only a few, very occasional exceptions – to use the standard blue roundel. Today, the name English Heritage is always inscribed on the top edge and our logo of a crenallated square is centered on the bottom edge. Our current specifications state that plaques should be 495mm (19½ inches) in diameter and 50mm (2 inches) thick.
Subtle changes in the font and layout of the text have developed over the years, but the general formatting principles have remained the same for some time. These dictate that the name appears in capitals with the surname slightly larger, followed by life dates, profession or accomplishment, and then the commemorated figure's relationship to the building – whether they were born, lived, worked or died there, or any combination of the above.
English Heritage plaques are made by highly skilled artisan craftspeople, Frank and Sue Ashworth of London Plaques, who have been creating them since 1984. The surface is slightly domed to encourage self-cleaning, and the lettering, because it is handpiped, is slightly raised. As long as the plaques are protected during any building works, they will last for as long as the building they are attached to.

Q: It showing blank array when array created from each loop in click event of jquery to outside of it tmcartepo = [];

$('input[name^="tm_option_"]').click(function () {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
    $('input[name^="tm_option_"]:checked').each(function(){

          tmcartepo.push($(this).val());
          console.log(tmcartepo);
    });
}

});
console.log(tmcartepo);

This is my code and I am trying to get the value of checkbox into an array and return it to another page through ajax. But when I print that array into the scope of click method it works fine but outside of it, it's showing blank array.
When I tried console.log(tmcartepo) its showing blank array
Thank in advance

A: You probably need to declare your variable tmcartepo outside the scope of click method (globally).
var tmcartepo;
$('input[name^="tm_option_"]').click(function () {
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('input[name^="tm_option_"]:checked').each(function(){
          tmcartepo.push($(this).val());
        });
        console.log(tmcartepo);
        alert(tmcartepo);
    }
});
console.log(tmcartepo);

A: // declare variable in global scope
var tmcartepo=[];
$('input[name^="tm_option_"]').click(function () {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
    $('input[name^="tm_option_"]:checked').each(function(){
          tmcartepo.push($(this).val());
    });
   console.log(tmcartepo);
   alert(tmcartepo);
}  });

Yes!! I am still alive and here... just having a difficult time with the pregnancy... suffered a bad fall (luckily baby is just fine, but I'm still recovering), and have had some unexpected reactions to one of the medicines they are having me take for our high-risk pregnancy.
I realize that I've been VERY quiet, I'm WAY behind on emails (about 700 unread after my hubby very nicely went through and deleted obvious spam/store/un-needed emails), I have missed some scheduled posts and many tours for some great books and products! I'm going to work hard over the next few days (crossing fingers) to start catching up, so stay tuned for some info on some absolutely wonderful books and products!!

My Thoughts: The Christmas Lamp was a very enjoyable Christmas read that really had me looking at our family holiday traditions more closely, especially after reading about the fictional town of Nativity, Missouri.
The town of Nativity needs help to pull out of an economic slump, and it takes an outsider to be objective and make suggestions that just might work if the townspeople can just rally together and embrace the changes and reasons behind them.
So many times we find ourselves caught up in doing things the same way because we've always done them that way, and the same goes for Roni and many of the townspeople... and when Jake comes to town, things become a little uncomfortable, as he tries to get them to undo some of those things in order to save the town.
This wonderful story is filled with a lot of holiday and a little bit of romance, but it is sure to be a story that will be read time and again.

My Thoughts: This book will take you back in time... Set a few days before Christmas in 1943, The Unfinished Gift explores faith and forgiveness in a way that will help readers to really feel for the characters and grow with them.
With his father off to war, Patrick is dropped off at his Grandfather's house when his mother dies in a car accident. His Grandfather is bitter and doesn't know what to do with the boy, especially when Patrick unintentionally stirs the embers of a rift between him and Patrick's father.
Patrick's child's faith is refreshing, and helps to remind us about aspects of our own faith and/or walk with God, and of the importance of forgiveness.
The story will make you thoughtful and reflective. It will also make you laugh... and cry. But most of all, it will provide you a refreshing holiday story full of faith and hope. I truly didn't want this one to end.

My Thoughts: I found The Christmas Glass to be a very interesting and insightful look into a fictional family that is brought together because of 12 delicately blown glass nativity ornaments that were a cherished possession of Anna, an Italian widow running an orphanage that also houses Jewish children during the war in 1940. Out of fear that the ornaments will be destroyed, she sends them to a cousin who later moves to America. Over the years, the ornaments make their way to twelve different family members.
By 2000, Anna's cousin Filomena fears that the family has become too remote and that there isn't hope of getting everyone together, so she requests that each person who has one of the ornaments return it in person, which could have disastrous results within the dysfunctional family.
The beginning of the book takes a look at Anna's life, and the rest of the book is dedicated to exploring the relationships of the current possessors of the ornaments, one person and ornament per chapter.
I found it very interesting to watch as the lives and problems of different people were brought to the forefront and explored, finding that they are connected and I loved that this Christmas story is just as heart-warming as I had hoped.

My Thoughts: This is one of my favorite times of the year... with holiday decorations, get-togethers with family and friends, and wonderful holiday stories that are heart-warming! ... and The Christmas Dog is simply another book to add to my small shelf of holiday favorites! Not only does Melody Carlson write in a way that readers can relate to different aspects of the story, but she makes you feel immersed in the characters and they feel like real people.
I really loved the ups and downs explored in this book... the assumptions (don't we all come to the wrong assumption on occasion??) and clarifications, the twists and turns within the family, and the overall outcome of the story. Add in an adorable little brown dog who manages to touch everyone's lives, and you've got a fun and easy holiday read that you will come back to year after year.
This is another great holiday book that explores relationships of differing types and degrees: a new neighbor, a runaway grand-daughter, a mother and daughter who are at odds, a dog, etc.
I found this book to be very heart-warming, endearing and inspiring. I realize that after living in our current neighborhood for 5+ years, I feel like I know the neighboring family on one side well, and I am comfortable enough to speak on casual terms with a few others, but I want to get to know my neighbors, and the holidays might be the perfect time to extend some holiday cheer.

Q: How to implement simple kinetic scrolling in Javascript for such functions? I am trying to implement  simple kinetic scrolling / eazing on 2 parameters. It works... partly/mostly. But something is very wrong. Problem and full code can be observed here.
So I have tried such code (contains no errors that Google Chrome can see but is not working as needed - crashes something from time to time (randomly) and scrolls in wrong direction (only in one).. ):
        var dragDuration = 0;
        var lonBuffer = 0;

Revealed: Award-winning producer Jerry Weintraub, 77, died after painful bowel rupture triggered two heart attacks
Movie producer Jerry Weintraub passed away in a hospital after suffering a bowel perforation that caused two heart attacks, it was revealed today.
The 77-year-old Hollywood heavyweight, who was behind the hit Ocean's Eleven remakes and the Karate Kid films, had fallen ill recently and was with family in Palm Springs when he died Monday.
Citing family sources, TMZ reported that Weintraub was staying at the luxurious Biltmore Santa Barbara Hotel in Montecito over the weekend.
On Saturday, he attended a barbecue celebrating the Fourth of July. A short time later, he fell ill with what he had initially thought to be food poisoning.
His condition worsened throughout the night and at 3am his longtime life partner, Susan Ekins, called an ambulance.
Doctors who examined the movie producer determined that he was suffering from a bowel obstruction – a painful condition where the patient's small or large intestine is blocked, preventing food, fluids, and gas from moving through the intestines.
A CT scan reportedly confirmed the preliminary diagnosis, but doctors concluded that the condition was not life-threatening.
Weintraub stayed in the hospital bed for 30 minutes before declaring that he wished to go home.
According to TMZ, the 77-year-old was weary of hospitals after contracting a potentially deadly infection six years prior following a back surgery.
Hospital staff informed Weintraub that they had to keep him longer for observation.
As he waited to be discharged, Jerry Weintraub appeared to be doing well and was even joking with people in his room.
At around 6am Monday, Weintraub suffered a heart attack. A repeated CT scan revealed that he had had a bowel rupture, which spread deadly bacteria throughout his body.
The ailing film producer was rushed to ICU where he suffered a second heart attack two hours later.
The New York City native was known as much for his business successes as he was for relishing the lifestyle those successes afforded him.
A Brooklyn-born telephone-wielding impresario, Weintraub fashioned himself in the mold of Mike Todd, Cecil B. DeMille and P.T. Barnum. He titled his 2011 memoir, 'When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead.' At the time, he joked he might write another: 'Dead, But Still Talking.'
He counted among his friends President George H.W. Bush and some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
While promoting an HBO documentary about his life, His Way, Weintraub recalled a prank the Ocean's Eleven cast once played on him.
'We got on the plane and George and Brad said to me, 'Let's have a few shots of vodka.' I said, 'You kids can't drink with me. I learned from Sinatra. I'm a black belt!' And we did one bottle, two bottles, three bottles and all of a sudden I'm seeing two George Clooneys and two Brad Pitts and I said, 'Jesus, this can't be!' And they're all fine! I passed out on the couch.'
Coming to, Weintraub realized he'd been drinking vodka while his cast had been fooling him with shots of plain water.
'When I woke up I was in fog. My pants were open, my shoes were squishy, they put M&M's in every pocket of my pants, my underwear, my shoes, and they melted. I said, 'You bastards, how did you pull this off!!"
George Clooney released a statement to E! on his former colleague's death:
'In the coming days there will be tributes, about our friend Jerry Weintraub,' Clooney said in a statement obtained by E! News. 'We'll laugh at his great stories, and applaud his accomplishments. And in the years to come the stories and accomplishments will get better with age, just as Jerry would have wanted it. But not today. Today our friend died. To his family and friends, Amal and I send our love. And to those who didn't know him we send our deepest sympathy. You would have loved him.'
On Monday evening, William Friedkin, director of the Weintraub-produced 1980 Al Pacino drama Cruising, tweeted about his friend's death.
'To my great sorrow, my friend and former producer Jerry Weintraub has died suddenly. He was loved and admired. God bless him,' he wrote.
Other grieving celebrities expressed their shock on Twitter, including Larry King:
'Shocked to learn of the passing of Jerry Weintraub. I just saw him last week. This is a great loss to show business, what a legend.'
Actor Paul Riser recalled Weintraub's fun-loving personality along with his professional accomplishments.
'Just heard Jerry Weintraub has died. He was a giant and a good friend. No Jerry, no 'Diner' No 'Karate Kid'… And a lot less fun. RIP.'
The Hollywood legend started his career in the mail room of MCA records in the 1950s and would go on to represent represent such legends as Jack Parr and musical luminaries Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra.
His other musical mega-acts included Dolly Parton, the Beach Boys, the Pointer Sisters and John Denver.
Weintraub was also successful on the small screen, having won three Emmy awards since 1975. Most recently, he received a statue for producing HBO's Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra.
He married singer Jane Morgan in 1965 and the two were married at the time of his death, but Weintraub had for years lived with his lover Susan Ekins–with Jane's blessing.
Weintraub explained in 2010:
'We didn't get a divorce because we (he and his wife) didn't want to screw up our estate. I worked very hard for my money. I started out with nothing and ended up with a lot. She didn't want to give it away to lawyers. She said, 'Go to Susie and and ask Susie if she needs to be married.' Susie said no, and they became best friends.'
Weintraub is survived by four his four children with Jane: Michael, Julie and Jamie, who all assisted him on films. His daughter Jody is a TV producer.

Giants 3, Padres 2
Angel Pagan hoped he would be in the batter's box with a chance to win the game. And, in this case, an opportunity to give the World Series champions some much-needed momentum.
He came through by lining a game-ending double to right field with one out in the ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants returned from a rough road trip to beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Friday night.
Santiago Casilla (2-1) struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for the win. Shortstop Brandon Crawford made a great pickup on Jesus Guzman's grounder for the second out.
Luke Gregerson (1-2) gave up Gregor Blanco's leadoff bloop single to shallow left to start the rally, then pinch-hitter Andres Torres reached on a fielder's choice after an unsuccessful sacrifice bunt attempt and stole second before coming home on Pagan's hit. It was Pagan's first game-winning hit since last July 1 against the Reds - also a double.
''It's one of those situations you want to be the guy,'' Pagan said. ''I wanted to be in that situation. I wanted to get the hit. We needed that win after getting swept in Milwaukee.''
Blanco wound up with three hits, Pagan and Brandon Belt with two apiece, and San Francisco had its speedsters together for the winning push.
Hurt by some bad luck on hard-hit balls during the road trip, Blanco vowed to do anything he could to get on base in the ninth.
''Back in Milwaukee I hit the ball several times hard, and today I got two hits with half-swings,'' he said. ''I don't really practice it to tell you the truth. I just try to use my speed.''
So did Torres with the heads-up steal.
''It was huge,'' Pagan said.
Madison Bumgarner struck out a season high 10 and Hunter Pence hit an RBI double for the Giants. Bumgarner struck out 10 or more batters for the ninth time in his career.
Chase Headley hit a tying, two-out homer in the sixth just over leaping left fielder Blanco. The tying run kept Bumgarner from becoming the first Giants pitcher to win his first four starts since Tim Lincecum in 2010.
After San Diego hit three home runs Wednesday against Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, Headley's first clout of 2013 gave the Padres home runs in eight of their last nine games. But San Diego had its three-game winning streak snapped on a night it nearly turned a triple play on Bumgarner's double-play grounder in the sixth but the pitcher reached first.
''For a moment I thought it might work,'' Padres manager Bud Black said. ''But Bumgarner gets down the line pretty good.''
Headley also had a first-inning sacrifice fly for San Diego. Buster Posey then added one of his own in the bottom half to tie the game at 1.
Pence's third-inning double scored Posey for the Giants' first lead in 27 innings since their previous advantage in the third inning at Milwaukee on Tuesday. The Giants were swept by the Brewers for a season-high three-game skid.
Thousands of fans in the sellout crowd of 41,559 at AT&T Park were late arrivals on fireworks night because of long lines and extra security that included the use of electronic scanning wands.
In the eighth inning, they were treated to ''Sweet Caroline'' as a tribute to Boston. An American flag waved, and several fans sported Red Sox shirts.
''That's touching, it is, with what's happened there in Boston,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''We are certainly thinking of the victims there. It's a tragedy. It's nice to honor Boston and their courage.''
Padres starter Edinson Volquez, the winning pitcher in the semifinals for the World Baseball Classic champion Dominican Republic here last month, allowed two runs in six innings and remained winless in four starts.
Guzman doubled and singled for San Diego, but the Padres' lineup that had previously had success against Bumgarner got shut down. San Diego's active position players came into Friday batting .290 (38 for 131) with 12 doubles, two triples, five homers and 21 RBIs against the left-hander.
Five of the last six Padres losses have been by two or fewer runs and three of those were decided by one run - including three straight.
Crawford went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts to have a career-best 11-game hitting streak snapped along with a 14-game stretch of reaching base safely.
A moment of silence was held both for the Boston victims and the wife of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, Mae Louise Allen Mays, who died in her sleep Friday morning at age 74 following a long fight with Alzheimer's disease.
NOTES: Posey will catch Lincecum on Saturday night, a rarity last season - considering the difficulty of catching the hard-throwing right-hander when Posey had returned from 2011 season-ending left leg and ankle injuries. ''Ready to go,'' Posey said. Added Bochy, ''There's no reason why he wouldn't catch him.'' If needed, Posey could get Sunday afternoon's series finale off. ... Padres RHP Tyson Ross injured his non-throwing shoulder getting his first major league hit vs. Clayton Kershaw on Wednesday. Manager Bud Black said it could affect next start. ''He's sore,'' Black said. ''If you ask Tyson, he thinks he can pitch. He wants to pitch. I wouldn't say it's definite he'll start.'' ... The division rivals met for the first of 19 games. The Giants won last season's series 12-6 and are 25-12 in the matchups over the past two years.


[13:56:07] <jthornton> when I toggle show_limits in gremlin what do I need to call to update the screen?
[14:44:30] <jthornton> in gremlin.py what is self.program_alpha?
[15:25:47] <jepler> jthornton: in AXIS it's a toggle controlled by the menu item "Alpha-blend program"
[16:35:23] <kwallace> Hello. I'm getting an error message while loading a 2.6 version of LinuxCNC, something about HGET is not a valid command. I searched for this error message and the results seem to indicate that the Redis version is too old. The thing is, my other installation works fine with the same version 2:1.2.0 (v1.2) of Redis.
[16:37:08] <mhaberler> where are you using redis?
[16:38:49] <kwallace> It's part of a LinuxCNC version that stores and restores user settings.
[16:39:13] <mhaberler> so you pulled some work branch from my repo?
[16:39:56] <kwallace> Yes, through another person.
[16:41:37] <mhaberler> well for that very reason master contains its own known-to-work version of redis; could it be you have some other redis version running when linuxcnc starts?
[16:47:39] <kwallace> I seem to recall that I had to apt-get redis to get the package to compile. So it should be Ubuntu's standard version. I don't recall seeing more than one server trying to load, but I would need to check to be sure. I'll look into this and try removing and reinstalling Redis.
[16:51:25] <mhaberler> but then I dont know what you have installed, is there a link to a repo where you pulled from?
[16:53:54] <kwallace> Okay I'll go back to my source, Tormach.
[17:18:40] <skunkworks> kwallace: testing the lathe?
[17:19:24] <seb_kuzminsky> mhaberler: how are you keeing the linuxcnc redis from interacting with ubuntu's redis? do they run on different ports or something?
[17:26:04] <kwallace1> skunkworks: Yes, on my HNC.
[17:58:08] <kwallace1> It seems that Redis was running before I started LinuxCNC. I killed Redis before invoking LinuxCNC and now it runs.
[18:04:19] <skunkworks> kwallace1: ah - I thought you where beta testing one of tormach lathes.. ;) Just their mods to linuxcnc? how does it look?
[18:16:43] <jthornton> kwallace, conversational like ngcgui?
[18:23:22] <kwallace1> Yes. We have a tab for OD, ID, Face, Chamfer and such, but has the Tormach look and feel.
[18:29:46] <kwallace1> We may be sorting a lot of that out now. It's just taking a bit of time.
[23:01:56] <kwallace1> I always wondered about 's for pluralizing.
[23:25:44] <kwallace1> I'm just curious, my old HNC .ini file has "[AXIS_0] ... UNITS = 0.03937007874016" ,but now it looks like units = in, inch, imperial, metric, mm? It's looking like I should just start fresh with my new file?
[23:28:50] <kwallace1> I think it works too, but if I change it, I need to consider what else changes.
[23:29:26] <cradek> are you trying to update major versions or something similar?
[23:31:29] <kwallace1> I'm setting up a new config directory to test a new UI on my HNC, so I'm going through my old files.
[23:33:01] <kwallace1> I'm using 2.~.pre.
[23:56:57] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek: are you using a shuttlexpress now? or just generally correcting my typos for fun?

I've had the weirdest wheather change here, after a week of living like I was in a fan forced oven - yesterday I was in long sleeves, trousers & warm socks!, it's a bit more 'normal (whatever that is?) today.
I think I may have had a bit of a 'hic-up' with my daughter, caused by her partner. I thought my last phone call with my daughter was the best in almost a year, she texted me asking if it was ok to ring (of corse I said a great big YES!) She told me her eldest had returned home, she sounded very happy about it. She also let me know she couldn't make a payment, but would 'catch-up' with it. A couple of days later her partner rang, he started the conversation with an apology, admtting he had a problem & needed professional help, telling me I was wanted back in their home . . . & then he asked for $300 saying the eldest had accumulated debts while she was away. I specifically asked if the account was in arrears as I didn't want the money gobbled up in fees, he reasured me it would be ok - only to ring back in half an hour and say the money had dissapeared & another 100 should do it. I actually said no. I've heard nothing since. I sent my daughter a message today, I felt I had to be honest, I told her I was very disappointed with her partner & that I would never give him money again. I don't have a lot of money . . . I never did, but I sure as hell don't now!
I took the puppies for a walk in the forest today, haven't been out there in ages, only went for a short walk as it was just after midday & the shade wasn't over the path. Found a fridge out there & it still had food stuff in it ?!? Someone must have needed to move in a hurry?
I think my brains still in a bit of a fuzzle & this latest family hic-up is threatening to push it back down. I've cancelled the patient lady, she seemed very busy & I felt like a bother.
Oh well, time to go back to a digitally isolated island, it really feels like I can escape the World there.
I feel very fragile today...close to tears...anxiety levels high..
I felt very uncomfortable...unsure of myself...afraid that my vulnerability was out there in the open for all to see..
Money causes so much trouble..
Money does not fix all problems but it does need to be used wisely. There are definite lines in the sand to draw rather than being the eternally giving feminine deity.
Hope you get to patient lady soon.
@Sophia1 Thanks for reading between the lines. We are all doing our best, but distress is ongoing.
It is so important to distinguish when feelings are related to med changes and thus the body trying to find a new normal ... or level of homeostasis.
Nevertheless it is good to keep going about our lives. Glad you had some distraction.
I am getting the feeling my pain has been far more evident than I realised. I remember body language of people we passed in the street when I was a kid, and sometimes there was real shock on a woman's face as I passed by with mother and father. Real shock, shame, sorrow and concern. Was it our clothing or stooped hopeless look etc etc ... I dont know. it is part of why I became very analytical about all issues of "appearances".... including material, the body and emotional truths.
Part of my therapy is re writing my sense of beauty and where I fit into the scheme of things.
Good morning everyone, hope today is starting peacefully.
@Exoplanet Sending warm wishes. Sorry to hear about the breakdown with family over finances. Something like that happened with me and my adult child last year. They were verbally abusing me on the phone saying they needed money urgently or they wouldn't have food the next day. I was actually trying to pay for some groceries for them but over several phone calls that night they became progressively more abusive and kept hanging up. I was in tears and shattered. In the end my brother rang them and told them not to ask me for money again but to ask him if they had a genuine need. ... a few months later they admitted to me that they did have a nest egg aside for bills and had used that and shouldn't have treated me that way that night. I have no such savings and earn considerably less than them. They haven't asked since. It took a few months to find a way of communicating again but things are ok now. Sometimes it does them good for us to say no in the long run. Otherwise we are enabling their bad habits. My brother gave them $100 when the new baby came (6 weeks ago) and they still haven't rung to thank him. I'm sure I raised them to have more manners and better life skills re managing finances than they are showing at 30 years of age. I no longer gift them $$ even for birthdays, new baby etc. I buy gifts and at least that way I know the money is spent on what I want to give, since for years now when I did give money it was always used for something other than what was stated when they asked me.
@outlander Hi sweetie I am good thanks how are you going? How did the teeth go?
How did you go the other night with S2?
Im ok i guess just abit flat. Feel abit alone lately.

Venture to Blue Peaks Valley to assist a young man looking for his long-lost father. Klondike is an early 1900's farming simulator where hard work and dedication is the means for tasks to get done. Our adventurer receives help from native people along the way on his journey through diverse American lands. You must complete unique quests, harvest crops, and clean the terrain to progress in this soul-searching adventure.
About Klondike
In Klondike, we play the role of a young man who decides to set off on a journey in search of his missing father. At the very beginning of the game you get to the village of Eskimos, who tell you about the location of the treasure, which your father buried. Your main goal is to prepare for the exploration expedition, but the preparation will be very difficult, because the village in which you are located is run-down and badly equipped.
You start in Klondike by entering the game using several dialogues that explain the story of the game, followed by the basic sequence of tutorials designed to teach you the necessary basics. The tutorial is quite concise and covers all the basics in a really brief amount of time, which means it's a good tutorial! When it finishes, you'll get a lot of money to start the journey and set off into the world with Klondike on an epic adventure
The great thing about Klondike is that, unlike many similar games, it also has quite a good story-line. You play the role of a young man whose father went on a trip a few years ago, but he never came back. Now that you are old enough to embark on your own adventure, you begin to feel that your father is alive and well, which means you have to find him at all costs, so you embark on an epic quest to locate and connect with your long-lost father after all these years.
The Klondike gameplay aims to combine the best elements building the city with elements of farming games and definitely performs this task almost perfectly. The gameplay is really fun and addictive, so it can be quite difficult to let go of when you settle into it. There are plenty of things to do in the game, such as plants and crops, animal husbandry, creating structures and sets of different buildings and lots of other things. In Klondike there is a lot of diversity in the form of many different crops, animals and buildings, so you'll find many things that will keep you busy for hours. It's resource management, but it's fun, engaging and educational.
So... get ready, because you will have to get food, use the help at hand, modernize the houses, build workshops for the equipment you'll need and only later in the game will you be able to expand the map area and thus search the surrounding places in search of your father. Do not give up, everything's up to you!

Chor-Minor Madrasah
Chor-Minor Madrasah Overview
Chor Minor Madrasah, alternatively known as the Madrasah of Khalif Niyaz-kul, is a historic gatehouse for a now-destroyed madrasa in the historic city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It is located in a lane northeast of the Lyab-i Hauz complex. It is protected as a cultural heritage monument and an important sightseeing spot while in Uzbekistan Tours.
History Of Chor-Minor Madrasah in Bukhara:
The structure was built by Khalif Niyaz-kul, a wealthy Bukharan of Turkmen origin in the 19th century under the rule of the Janid dynasty. The Chor-Minor Madrasah-Four Minarets towered structure is sometimes mistaken for a gate to the madras that once existed behind the structure, however, the Char-Minar is actually a complex of buildings with two functions, ritual and shelter. Originally, it was a part of a complex of a madrasa, which was demolished.
The Chor-Minor Madrasah Architecture And Design:
The unusual outward shape and the building has a typical interior for a Central Asian mosque. Owing to the buildings cupola, the room has good acoustic properties and therefore takes on special significance of 'dhikr-hana' – a place for ritualized 'dhikr' ceremonies of Sufi, the liturgy of which often include recitation, singing, and instrumental music. On either side of the central edifice are located dwelling rooms, some of which have collapsed, leaving only their foundations visible. Consequently, for full functioning of madrasa only of classroom and some utility rooms is lacking.
However, it was common practice that so-called Madrasahs had no lecture rooms or, even if they had, no lectures had been given in them. These Madrasahs were employed as student hospices. Uzbeks call it, Chor-Minor The Taj Mahal Of Bukhara.

Post subject: World's hotspots : Sri Lanka - 'best value for money'

India ranks 5th among world's hotspots
@TIMES NEWS NETWORK
[ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 08, 2005 11:59:18 PM ]
NEW DELHI: It's coming of age of India on the world tourist map. Overseas holidayers and travellers from across the globe have put India in the Top Five list of most attractive and satisfying holiday destinations in the world, ahead of several developed and traditional hotspots like US, France, Singapore and South Africa.
According to the latest Conde Nast Readers'Travel Awards survey, East was the flavour of the season among overseas holidayers, with Italy being the only country from the Western world to make it to the Top Five.
New Zealand was voted the favourite holiday destination, followed by Thailand, Australia, Italy and India. The countries were ranked on an index of satisfaction with travel facilities and services — from hotels and spas to airlines and airports.
India scored mainly on account of its hospitality facilities — which included quality spas and hotels — while New Zealand got top marks for scenery, environmental friendliness and safety, ensuring its place at number one. While Italy and France maintained their reputation for excellent food, US'variety of attractions were a big hit among travellers. But holidayers voted Sri Lanka as the 'best value for money'destination.
In the Top 20 order, France was ranked six, US was placed seven, while Switzerland stood 14th. Interestingly, none of the Indian cities even made it to the list of Top 20 cities. New York, Sidney and Rome were voted the top three cities in the world by travellers, for their night life and user-friendliness.
Ananda in the Himalayas, India's only destination spa, was awarded the Best Destination Spa at the Conde Nast Traveller Reader Spa Awards. Ananda was also a close runner-up to overall winner New Zealand in the ultimate award — World's Top 100. In this umbrella category, another Indian hospitality property — The Oberoi Raj Vilas, Jaipur — was placed seventh while India as a product came 45th and Changi (Singapore) was at the last spot.
Industry watchers said India ranked high mainly on account of the growing air connectivity with the rest of the world.
"India has now become far more accessible than it was two years back. The growing air links, government focus on boosting tourism and a surge in the number of quality hospitality properties have helped make a trip to India very satisfying for most holidayers. These strengths seem to have negated the ill-effects of a poor airport infrastructure on the country's image,"said an analyst.
