A miscarriage is a miscarriage every single time.
The pain of another loss hits home again. Not for me this time, but for someone dear to me.
As we talked today some of the same sentences were said. Sentences I have said to myself, to others about myself, to others in consolation of their own loss.
But as I said them today I heard just how hollow they are. And the pain hit me, hard, in a way I hadn't expected because I thought I had buried it deep, deep down. No actually I thought, it was a pain that I didn't have the right to feel.
Today I realised just how wrong I have been.
Miscarriage is not selective, or fair, or for the best, or better because it was early. It's not okay because you already have a baby, or two, to hold and cuddle and smell their sweetness. It is still loss and it takes a piece of you away with it.
For a couple of years the miscarriages around me were more consuming than the births. Very close friends of mine lost many pregnancies in every circumstance, early, late after announcing it to everyone and daring to be excited. For all of them each loss was another first that was never to be. Not only does the pain of the loss, the dragging disappointment, the pang of missing what will never be hurt like hell, but the overwhelming fear that this is their lot may be even worse. I don't know, my losses were not my first.
This week as part of Never Forgotten: Mamamia's Pregnancy Loss Awareness Week we're remembering the babies we've lost. Post continues below.
I had a beautiful baby while friends still did not. And as he turned 2 I felt my world start swirling. His birthday was the due date of a baby we never had. But how do you possibly complain about that? You celebrate what you have, you love and laugh and cuddle and delight and you try again.
I was in a very dangerous situation, thankfully emergency surgery prevented anything worse, but losing two babies was pretty tough. The thought of twins was so overwhelming, but the fascination of the huge numbers of medical staff coming to see the "1 in 30,000″ that my situation was blunted most of that away.
I somehow stood beside my best friend two days after the operation as her bridesmaid in her wedding. I had missed the hens night because I was in hospital, so it was an emotional day as so many people smiled at me through tears, but still not one of grief for me.
I saw the miscarriages I had had as fate, as the inevitable, as my lot. I had been so lucky with everything else and miscarriages happen, a lot. Why not to me? I saw it as fair game, but I didn't allow myself to grieve.
I didn't think I had that right. And as I stood next to my wild child blowing out his candles and wondering what may have been, it wasn't with any sense of grief because I hadn't allowed myself that, especially because I was pregnant again.
But those babies were babies just the same. I carried four babies in one year and only got to carry one out of hospital in my arms.
That is absolutely the most important part, but it doesn't mean those others don't get a little piece of my heart dedicated just to them. And so today after I have said, at least you have one, thank goodness you hadn't told anyone, get some wine, lots of wine, I wished I had have just said I feel your pain, your loss, your grief, and my darling girl know you are not alone.

You can link tables from other Access databases-whether the other databases are local or on a network-and work with the data as if these tables were defined in your current Access database. If you want to work with data stored in another database format supported by Access (dBASE, Paradox, or any SQL database that supports ODBC, including Visual FoxPro), you can link the data instead of importing it.
In most cases, you can read data, insert new records, delete records, or change data just as if the linked file were an Access table in your database. You can also link text and spreadsheet format data so that you can process it with queries, forms, and reports in your Access database. You can only read the data in linked text and spreadsheet files.
This ability to link data is especially important when you need to access data on a host computer or share data from your application with many other users.
Access 2007 supports linking to dBASE or Paradox versions 5.0 and earlier, and it allows full update if it can find the associated index files. If you need to work with later versions, you must install the Borland Database Engine (BDE).
If you attempt to link a file or a table from a database system that is protected, Access 2007 asks you for a password. If the security information you supply is correct and Access successfully links the secured data, Access optionally stores the security information with the linked table entry so that you do not have to enter this information each time you or your application opens the table. Access stores this information in the hidden Connect property of a linked table, so a knowledgeable person might be able to retrieve it by writing code to examine this property. Therefore, if you have linked sensitive information to your Access database and have supplied security information, you should consider encrypting your database. Consult Chapter 25 for information about encrypting your Access database.
If you are linking your database to SQL Server tables and are using Windows domain security, you can set options in SQL Server to accept the Windows domain user ID if the user logs on correctly to the network. Therefore, you won't need to store security information with the link. If your server contains particularly sensitive information, you can disable this option to guard against unauthorized access from logged on but unattended network workstations.
Access 2007 always performs best when working with its own files on your local computer. If you link tables or files from other databases on other computers, you might notice slower performance. In particular, you can expect slower performance if you connect over a network to a table or a file in another database, even if the remote table is an Access table. You won't see any performance difference if you link to Access tables in another .accdb file on your local computer.
When sharing data over a network, you should consider how you and other people can use the data in a way that maximizes performance. For example, instead of working directly with the tables, you should work with queries on the shared data whenever possible to limit the amount of data you need at any one time. When inserting new data in a shared table, you should use an Access form that is set only for data entry so that you don't have to access the entire table to add new data.
You can view and set options for multiple users sharing data by clicking the Microsoft Office Button, clicking Access Options, and then clicking the Advanced category in the Access Options dialog box, as shown in Figure 6–12. The original settings for these options are often appropriate when you share data over a network, so it's a good idea to consult your system administrator before making changes.
Figure 6–12: In the Advanced section of the Advanced category in the Access Options dialog box, you can set options that affect the performance of linked tables.
One very important consideration is record locking. When Access 2007 needs to update data in a shared file, it must lock the data to ensure that no other computer is trying to write the same data at the same time. You should set options so that records are not locked if you are simply browsing through data. Even if your application frequently updates and inserts data, you should leave Default Record Locking set to No Locks. With this setting, Access 2007 locks individual records only for the short period of time that it is writing the row, so the chance of receiving an update error while two users are trying to update the same row at the exact same time is very small.
If you want to ensure that no one else can change a record that you have begun to update, you should set Default Record Locking to Edited Record. Note, however, that no other user will be able to edit a record that another has begun to change. If a user begins to type a change in a record and then goes off for lunch, no one else will be able to change that record from another computer until that user either saves the row or clears the edit.
We never set either All Records or Edited Record as the default. Either one can cause extra overhead while updating data and can lock out other users unnecessarily. In the rare case that an update conflict occurs with No Locks, Access gives the second user the opportunity to refresh the data and reenter the blocked update. Also, you can set record locking individually in forms and reports. See Chapter 12, "Customizing a Form," and Chapter 16, "Advanced Report Design," for details.
You can set options to limit the number of times Access 2007 will retry an update to a locked record and how long it will wait between retries. You can also control how often Access reviews updates made by other users to shared data by setting the refresh interval. If this setting is very low, Access will waste time performing this task repeatedly.
Access 97 (version 8) and earlier locked an entire 2-KB page each time you updated, inserted, or deleted rows. This meant that only one user could update any of the rows stored physically within the page. The page size in Access 2000 increased to 4. KB, but Access 2000 (version 9) and later also support record-level locking that eliminates locking collisions when two users attempt to update different rows stored on the same data storage page. Unless you are designing an application that frequently needs to update hundreds of rows at a time (for example, with action queries), you should leave the Open Databases By Using Record-Level Locking check box selected.
Open the Access database to which you want to link the table. If that database is already open, close any objects so that only the Navigation Pane is visible.
On the External Data tab, in the Import group, click the Access command, and then select Link To The Data Source By Creating A Linked Table in the Get External Data-Access Database dialog box shown next.
After you select the Access database file you want, click the Open button to return to the Get External Data-Access Database dialog box, and then click OK to see the tables in that database.
Access opens the Link Tables dialog box, shown next, which lists the tables available in the database you selected. Select one or more tables, and click OK to link the tables to the current database. If the link procedure is successful, the new table will have the name of the table you selected.
Access marks the icon for linked tables in the Navigation Pane with an arrow, as shown next. If Access finds a duplicate name, it generates a new name by adding a unique integer to the end of the name as described earlier. Because objects such as forms, reports, macros, and modules might refer to the linked table by its original name, you should carefully check name references if Access has to rename a linked table.
One problem with using linked data in an application that you're going to distribute to someone else is the location of the linked files on your computer might not be exactly the same as it is on your user's computer. For example, the internal Connect property might point to D:\MyDatabases\MyData.accdb, but your user installs the application on the C drive. You might have noticed that a form always opens when you open the Conrad Systems Contacts sample database and that it takes a few seconds before it returns you to the Navigation Pane. We wrote code behind this initial form that verifies the table links and fixes them. You can learn how we built this code in Chapter 25.
Open the Access database to which you want to link the file. If that database is already open, close any objects so that only the Navigation Pane is visible.
On the External Data tab, in the Import group, click the More command, and then click dBASE File or Paradox File, as appropriate. Select Link To The Data Source By Creating A Linked Table in the Get External Data-dBASE File (or Get External Data-Paradox File) dialog box, as shown next.
Click the Open button to return to the Get External Data-dBASE File dialog box, and then click OK to link to the selected dBASE or Paradox file.
If you selected an encrypted Paradox file, Access opens a dialog box that asks you for the correct password. Type the correct password and click OK to proceed, or click Cancel to start over. If the link procedure is successful, the new table will have the name of the file you selected (without the file name extension). If Access finds a duplicate name, it will generate a new name by adding a unique integer to the end of the name.
Linking a text file or an Excel spreadsheet file is almost identical to importing these types of files, as discussed earlier in this chapter. (You cannot link Lotus 1-2-3 files; you can only import them.) As noted, you can only read linked text and Excel spreadsheet files.
On the External Data tab, in the Import group, click the Excel or Text File command. Select Link To The Data Source By Creating A Linked Table in the Get External Data dialog box, as shown here.
Click the Open button to return to the Get External Data dialog box, and then click OK to start the Link Spreadsheet Wizard or the Link Text Wizard.
Follow the steps in the wizard, which are identical to the steps for importing a spreadsheet or text file, as described earlier in this chapter.
You can have the same problems with delimiters, text qualifiers, data types, and primary keys noted under importing. You might need to correct or reformat the data in your text or spreadsheet file to be able to successfully link to it. For example, if Access guesses the wrong data type for a column in an Excel file, you will see #Error in fields that have the incorrect data type.
To link a table from another database system that supports ODBC SQL, you must have the ODBC driver for that database installed on your computer. Your computer must also be linked to the network that connects to the SQL server from which you want to link a table, and you must have an account on that server. Check with your system administrator for information about correctly connecting to the SQL server.
If you have SQL Server 2005 installed or have downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, you already have an SQL server at your disposal. See the Appendix for instructions about how to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. One of the best ways to be sure SQL Server is running on your computer is to use the SQL Server Configuration Manager. You can start the Configuration Manager from the Windows Start menu in the Configuration Tools folder under Microsoft SQL Server 2005. You can also start the Configuration Manager by running C:\Windows\System32\SQLServerManager.msc. In the Configuration Manager, choose SQL Server 2005 Services and be sure the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service is marked as Running. If it is not running, right-click the service name and click Start on the shortcut menu.
Open the Access database to which you want to link the SQL table. If that database is already open, close all open objects so that you see only the Navigation Pane.
On the External Data tab, in the Import group, click the More command, and then click ODBC Database. Access opens the Get External Data-ODBC Database dialog box. Make sure the Link To The Data Source By Creating A Linked Table option is selected and then click OK.
Access opens the Select Data Source dialog box, shown earlier on page 267, in which you can select the data source that maps to the SQL server containing the table you want to link. Select a data source, and click OK. If you don't see the data source you need, see "Creating a Data Source to Link to an ODBC Database" on page 255 for instructions. The ODBC driver displays the SQL Server Login dialog box for the SQL data source that you selected if the server is not set up to accept your Windows login. If you are linking to a Visual FoxPro database or file, the ODBC driver displays the Configure Connection dialog box.
When you are required to enter a login ID and password, and if you are authorized to connect to more than one database on the server and you want to connect to a database other than your default database, enter your login ID and password. Then click the Options button to open the lower part of the dialog box. When you click in the Database box, Access logs on to the server and returns a list of available database names. Select the one you want, and click OK. If you don't specify a database name and if multiple databases exist on the server, Access will connect you to the default database for your login ID.
You can't connect to a specific database using trusted authentication because you use more than one data source.
When you connect to a server using trusted authentication (your Windows user ID), you automatically connect to the database specified in the data source. You might need to create more than one data source if you need to connect to more than one database on that server. See "Creating a Data Source to Link to an ODBC Database" on page 255 for details about defining ODBC data sources.
For Visual FoxPro, specify the database name or FoxPro file folder and click OK.
When Access connects to the server or Visual FoxPro database, you'll see the Link Tables dialog box, similar to the Import Objects dialog box shown earlier on page 269, which lists the available tables on that server.
From the list of tables, select the ones you want to link. If you select a table name in error, you can click it again to deselect it, or you can click the Deselect All button to start over. Click OK to link to the tables you selected.
If the link procedure is successful, the new table will have the name of the SQL table or Visual FoxPro file (without the file name extension). If Access finds a duplicate name, it will generate a new name by adding a unique integer to the end of the name.
You can make some changes to the definitions of linked tables to customize them for use in your Access 2007 environment. When you attempt to open the table in Design view, Access opens a dialog box to warn you that you cannot modify certain properties of a linked table. You can still click OK to open the linked table in Design view.
You can open a linked table in Design view to change the Format, Decimal Places, Caption, Description, and Input Mask property settings for any field. You can set these properties to customize the way you look at and update data in Access forms and reports. You can also give any linked table a new name for use within your Access database (although the table's original name remains unchanged in the source database) to help you better identify the table or to enable you to use the table with the queries, forms, and reports that you've already designed.
Changing a table's design in Access has no effect on the original table in its source database. However, if the design of the table in the source database changes, you must relink the table to Access. You must also unlink and relink any table if your user ID or your password changes.
It is easy to unlink tables that are linked to your Access database. In the Navigation Pane, simply select the table you want to unlink and then press the Delete key or click the Delete command in the Records group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Access displays the confirmation message shown in Figure 6–13. Click Yes to unlink the table. Unlinking the table does not delete the table; it simply removes the link from your table list in the Navigation Pane.
Figure 6–13: Access displays a message to confirm that you want to unlink a table.
If you click the Cut command in the Clipboard group on the Home tab of the Ribbon to unlink a table, Access does not display the confirmation message shown in Figure 6–13.
If you move some or all of your linked tables to a different location, you must either delete your linked tables and relink them or update the location information before you can open the tables. You can easily update the location information in the table links by using the Linked Table Manager. To use this handy utility, open the database that contains linked tables that you need to relink, and on the Database Tools tab, in the Database Tools group, click the Linked Table Manager command. The utility opens a dialog box that displays all the linked tables in your database, as shown in Figure 6–14. Simply select the check boxes for the ones that you think need to be verified and updated, and then click OK. If any linked table has been moved to a different location, the Linked Table Manager prompts you with a dialog box so that you can specify the new file location. You can also select the Always Prompt For New Location check box to verify the file location for all linked tables.
Figure 6–14: You can use the Linked Table Manager to correct links to files that have moved.
Now you have all the information you need to import and link data using Access 2007. For information on how to export data see Article 3, "Exporting Data," on the companion CD.

My Book - Sneak Peek!
click on the image above for a closer look!
you can get the book on Amazon here and if you're not lucky enough to be in the UK you can get it with free international shipping on The Book Depository.
Also thanks to all the lovely bloggers who have been writing reviews... I've loved reading them and i really appreciate you bigging it up. I love these pics that pretty lady Kristatomic took of the book. Here's her review if you'd like to have a peek and while you're there you must check out her blog it's full full full of lovliness.
Here's me in full on vintage yesterday. I braved the cold with bare legs - It was actually quite warm in the sun and luckily I do have some natural protection! I went on a little cake mission with two of my girlies. I was very tempted by the miniature pink fairy cakes but not wanting to appear greedy by having two I opted for a huge piece of lemon drizzle. Yum! One of my secrets to staying cheerful in these long winter months is that cake should be a regular occurrence and actually while I'm thinking about it tea from a proper tea pot is essential. As are candles, log fires, fluffy kittens and plenty of cute knitted accessories.
Thanks to all my lovely customers for your orders. Don't forget to get your in if you want to order for Christmas. Especially if you're overseas!
Thank you for helping me face the coming winter with a smile. I've been putting off starting the current seasons collections by wishfully wearing my summer frocks with tights and cardigans but it's time to face the music. Winter is officially entering my world. My winter duvet has replaced the cotton sheets, the central heating is on and the dog is curled up on my paws. All I can say is thank goodness for sheepskin aviator jackets, pleated crushed velvet and thigh high boots.
Some more Parisian goodness for my shopping list!

'Build here,' BLM says of Utah land targeted for up to 600 MW of solar
Milford Flats is available due to the Energy Act of 2020, which aims to deploy 25 GW of solar, wind, and geothermal on public lands no later than 2025.
September 15, 2021 John Fitzgerald Weaver
The BLM site is not far from Beaver, Utah.
Image: Wikipedia/peeweejd
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering 4,836 acres in Beaver County, Utah, to be bid on by solar developers. The land is designated the Milford Flats South Solar Energy Zone.
Generally, tens of millions of acres of BLM land is designated as available for certain types of development, but developers are responsible for choosing locations and submitting a bid. By contrast, Milford Flats is available as a result of the Energy Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-260), which aims to deploy 25 GW of solar, wind, and geothermal production on public lands no later than 2025. It may be the first piece of pre-vetted land offered for bidding by the BLM.
The Milford Flats project page contains maps, bidding directions, and an early-stage environmental analysis. The BLM released a video of the site, with panoramas set to a techno/dance beat.
BLM is making available three parcels of land in southwest Utah.
A 60-day bidding period started on September 10. The BLM said it believes that the three parcels in the zone could host up to 600 MW of solar power. It also speculates that development would create 200 construction jobs and 15 long-term operations positions. Beaver County is home to around 6,700 people and is around 230 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.
The preliminary environmental analysis by the BLM suggested that as many as 11 mammals and birds might be affected by any project development. However, it stated that it chose the land based on what it said was a low probability of environmental, cultural, and other potential side effects.
Know your critters. BLM says developers need to be mindful of these existing residents in the area.
Grazing must also be considered in any applications. BLM specified that solar developers would have to bid at least 20% more than the going rates of $8.76/acre/year from local ranchers. The current minimum bids for annual grazing on the three parcels range from $2,718 to more than $23,000. These bid numbers don't necessarily represent the full amounts the site leaseholders will pay.
Eight ranchers with former grazing rights on the land could be affected by the development. Leaseholders would be expected to build new fences to keep the solar allotments and grazing land separated.
BLM said the site will need transmission upgrades. Its data suggest that after the solar project's onsite transformers step up the voltages from the inverter to the grid, developers will need to connect to Rocky Mountain Power's existing Sigurd to Red Butte 345 kV transmission line. The lines will likely cross public and private lands to reach the point of interconnection, and could be anywhere from two to seven miles in length.

Reunited DEMOLITION HAMMER Plays Unannounced Set In Elmhurst, New York (Video)
Reunited cult New York thrash metal act DEMOLITION HAMMER played a short unannounced "rehearsal gig" on November 18 in Elmhurst, New York. The band showed up at the Blackthorn 51 venue at around 1:15 a.m. — right after headliners of the evening MALIGNANCY — and performed seven songs. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below.
DEMOLITION HAMMER's 2016 lineup consists of original members Steve Reynolds (vocals, bass) and James Reilly (guitar) alongside longtime guitarist Derek Sykes and the group's latest addition, drummer Angel Cotte (EYES LIKE CYANIDE).
Sykes told BLABBERMOUTH.NET about DEMOLITION HAMMER's future plans: "We'll do some limited touring and festivals. We haven't discussed new music yet, but we'll see where all this goes."
DEMOLITION HAMMER was active between 1986 and 1994 and released three full-length albums — "Tortured Existence" (1990), "Epidemic Of Violence" (1992) and "Time Bomb" (1994) — all through Century Media.
A DEMOLITION HAMMER compilation, "Necrology: A Complete Anthology", was issued in 2008, also through Century Media. The set contained the band's entire three-album discography across two discs.
Shortly before the compilation's release, Sykes released a statement taking issue with "the allegations" included in the liner notes which suggested that the band "didn't have time to contribute" to the anthology. He explained: "In fact, DEMOLITION HAMMER was quite involved in the initial realization of the project. But ultimately, due to qualitative differences, we decided to let our past work with Century Media speak for itself."
In March 2015, Century Media reissued "Tortured Existence" and "Epidemic Of Violence" on vinyl.

James Holden has announced his third album recorded together with his newly-expanded band, going under the name James Holden & The Animal Spirits. The Animal Spirits will be released 3 November via his own Border Community label. This will be the first full length release from Holden since 2013's critically lauded The Inheritors which saw top-twenty 'Album of the Year' mentions from the likes of FACT, MOJO and Clash as well as No.2 from Loud & Quiet and Resident Advisor's 'Album of the Year'. Along with the announcement, the band - consisting of long-time collaborators Tom Page (RocketNumberNine) and Etienne Jaumet as well as Marcus Hamblett, Liza Bec and Lascelle Gordon - have shared lead single 'Pass Through The Fire'. Let yourself be transported to a magical other world of instinct and intuition with this bold new set of synth-led folk-trance standards from electronics guru James Holden and his newly-expanded band of fellow travellers The Animal Spirits. A wild ride that unites the characteristic propulsive melodic vigour of his custom-made modular synthesizer system with an unlikely supporting cast of brass, wind and live percussion, the expansive and transformative psychedelic journey of The Animal Spirits is certainly eternal outsider Holden's most ambitious work to date – but surely also his most direct and accessible. Since the release of 2013's epic pagan saga The Inheritors, the kraut-tinged synth-and-drum core of the live touring outfit assembled by Holden to spread his alternative electronic message around the world has picked up several additional members along the way. Legendary jazz band leaders Don Cherry and Pharoah Sanders provided the blueprint for this quest to assemble "something like a spiritual jazz band playing folk / trance music", but here cornet (Marcus Hamblett) and saxophone (Etienne Jaumet) function as the complement to the star soloist of Holden's ever-strident synth. Meanwhile drummer Tom Page's is inextricably bound to Holden's synth care of self-coded interactive drummer-following software, keeping pace with the almost imperceptible – yet unmistakably human – micro-errors in timing which lend live drums their natural magical groove. Thus Holden's drummer is liberated from the brutal tyranny of the click track and a new organic symbiotic relationship between human and machine is unlocked. Producer Holden's creative control over the project is absolute, from building his own synth and software, writing the musical backbone and steering his players, to self-recording, self-mixing and eventually also self-releasing the finished collection on his own imprint. This heady blend of the electronic and the acoustic came into being during the hot and sticky summer of 2016 under the direction of fledgling band leader Holden at his Sacred Walls studio in London. In a bid to capture what he calls the unfakeable "psychic communication" of a group performance, The Animal Spirits was recorded live in one room together in single takes, no overdubs, no edits, in accordance with his own self-imposed dogma. What has emerged out of these sessions is a genre-blending new form of universal music that feels inherently fluid and alive. Just one example of the record's wide-ranging influences, the relentless, elastic and hypnotic polyrhythms of 'Pass Through The Fire' grew out of Holden's 2014 trip to Morocco to work with legend of Gnawa music Maalem Mahmoud Guinia. The first song he wrote for the band, 'Pass Through The Fire' took shape over months of pre-show dressing room practice, as Holden set about transmitting the distinctive Gnawa rhythm to drummer Page. It soon made its way into the pair's live shows, adding Jaumet's on-the-hop improvised sax contributions further down the line. Holden says, "This was where I got the idea that songs are just backbones or seeds and the strong ones teach/reveal themselves to the players rather than the other way round."
@alessandrofavartista: Listen with headphones, you are wrong, it is NEW!
This is magical. So good.
@lemurnight: ¡Comunidad en las fronteras! Lol.
Holden o Holden, what have you been up to lately?

The Buzz Gossip and News
Alexa Chung May Be Dating Agyness Deyn's Ex
theFashionSpot May 8th, 2012
Last Friday at Mulberry's Frieze Project Artists dinner at Crown in New York City, the very leggy and inscrutable Alexa Chung showed up with a never-before-seen date: Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.
The British "it" girl is a big big fan of dating the kinds of boys that have lots and lots of fans: rockers. (Ugh.) She does it all the time, probably because musicians make the best boyfriends if you're completely delusional.
Even though the maybe-couple went out of their way to minimize press, Page Six was not having it. The tabloid chatted up a guest at the party to deliver this important breaking news:
"Alexa and Albert arrived together and left together. They were adamant that they were not to be in any pictures together."
The Strokes boys have spent the past decade chasing girls around Lower Manhattan, to great effect. Hammond Jr.'s last public girlfriend? Agyness Deyn, who was then pretty much the superest supermodel in New York. I'm sure he treated her so well.
Alexa Chung's last public boyfriend? Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner.
Hammond Jr. and Chung might actually be a match made in heaven: they're both totally predictable.

Inter Milan 1-2 Lazio: Melo Madness
A late Candreva goal saw Lazio take all three points, and though Inter are still at the top Serie A at the end of 2015, the lead is down to one point.
By Baraka Nasari Dec 21, 2015, 2:29am CET
Share All sharing options for: Inter Milan 1-2 Lazio: Melo Madness
Marco Luzzani/Getty Images
Table-topping Inter played hosts to a struggling Lazio side in the final Serie A match of the year. A win would see the Nerazzurri end the year with a four point gap over Fiorentina and Napoli, while a loss would see the chasing pack breathing down their necks when the league starts up again.
Mancini went with his attacking 4231 lineup, with Montoya, Miranda, Murillo, and Telles in front of Handanovic, and Medel and Melo patrolling the space in front of them. The front four were made up of Biabiany, Jovetic, Perisic, and Icardi.
The game started on a concerning note; Handanovic tried to dribble around Matri and luckily the striker was not able to put the ball in the back of the net. Within the first 5 minutes Lazio still took the lead through a Candreva first-time shot from a corner. From there Lazio could sit back and try to hit Inter on the counter either through long balls to Matri or by utilizing the pace of Anderson and Candreva. Speaking of Anderson while he apparently had come into the match in poor form he had fun tearing down Inter's right flank numerous times. Montoya was burned quite a few times and it looked like Mancini made a poor choice to play such an attacking fullback against the winger.
Another poor tactical decision that was apparent throughout the first half was deciding to play a midfield pair of Medel and Melo. The two of them are not particularly known for their passing so all Lazio had to do was leave them space and use the extra men to strangle Biabiany, Jovetic, and Perisic in order to cut off any Inter attacks. In fact, their trying to be creative led to a number of hazardous and often misplaced passes that caused Lazio counterattacks, one of which almost lead to a goal in the 43rd minute. The match was calling for the introduction of Brozovic and most expected him to be brought on at halftime, at the expense of either one of the attacking wingers or Melo (don't worry, we'll get to him later). That did not happen, though Brozovic and Ljajic were introduced 11 minutes into the second half (for Biabiany and Jovetic).
A few minutes before the substitution the referee gave Inter an indirect free-kick around six yards out due to a goalkeeper back pass. There were some questions as to if this qualified as a back pass and whether the free-kick should be taken from where the defender made the pass or where the keeper picked it up (I though the ref got it wrong and it should have been where the keeper picked it up). Though the referee's placement of the free-kick was advantageous to Inter, they were unable to take advantage. In the 61st minute Inter were level though, a Perisic through ball found Icardi who was able to slot the ball between the keepers legs into the goal. At this point the momentum was with Inter who were pushing for the winning goal but Lazio seemed to be holding on.
Now we have to talk about Melo. His performance had not been all that great the entirety of the match at this point. His passes had been erratic and had committed a couple of pointless fouls. Most fans would not have been opposed to pulling him at halftime for Brozovic, and then in the 87th minute another one of his challenges lead to a Lazio penalty. Handanovic did his best to atone for Melo's mistake by saving the spot kick but the rebound fell back to Candreva who was able to reestablish Lazio's lead. At this point, with Inter trailing Mancini turned to Palacio for a late goal, but instead of pulling the man whose head was looking out of the game, he subbed out an attacking fullback in Telles. That decision proved to be comically bad when less than a minute later, Melo kicked high for a ball only to bring his foot down right on Biglia's shoulder and received a straight red card.
Though Melo had a disastrously bad match, the Brazilian still is useful to Inter. He has had a number of good performances so far with this team and his time playing elsewhere showed us that he was prone to having explosive moments like he had today. If anybody should be blamed it is Mancini for not recognizing that Melo was a ticking time-bomb and removing him.
This match brings 2015 to a close for Inter. Though this loss hurts, the team is still Serie A winter champions. Hopefully the squad learns from this match and starts 2016 even stronger, because the rest of the season will be a war, not only for the Scudetto, but for Champions League spots.


After all, we're living in the 21st century, not in the highly stratified social world of Downton Abbey. For Judy Kilpatrick, gardening is the best mental health therapy of all. In those halcyon early days, Al wooed me with his charm, good looks and winning way with a power drill. Gender certainly shapes how much time each spouse spends on each task and how much power they have over decisions in different spheres. I knew he was 'less rich' than me when we met, but I didn't realize he was on food stamps and housing subsidy until a few months into the relationship. These differences are most starkly represented in the different set of assumptions that the partners may have about things like manners, food, child-rearing, gift-giving and how to spend vacations.
Search through your address book, call people you haven't spoken to in years and say: I think it's hard. Some men postpone marriage until their financial position is more secure and use wealth to help attract women. The hookup — that meeting and mating ritual that started among high school and college students — is becoming a trend among young people who have entered the workaday world.
Emily was 26 when she married. She thought he was marvellous. Leslie and Tom did not navigate their differences with such ease.
The moment Al opened his mouth, I could feel Hugo flinch. Biggest example is traveling. Julia relaxes while boyfriend Al puts his skills to use. There was a whiff of danger about him that I found intoxicating. The German term of Stelldichein as translated by Joachim Heinrich Campes is used to signify dating when the age of consent to marriage was relatively high.
Some studies have shown that dating tends to be extremely difficult for people with social anxiety disorder. Emily is not blind to the class differences between her and Alex. They don't usually mix though.
So the question is... I guess I'm just asking if this is worth pursuing or should I give up while I'm ahead? While these differences may seem meagre in the context of romantic love, couples who share similar cultural tastes and habits have been known to better weather the everyday stresses and strains of married life.

Yes, says a Sloane Ranger with a builder for a lover. Maybe he is more interested in friends, relationships, family etc than which restaurant to be seen at, having the latest gadgets or wearing the "right" labels. Before we see i know we wouldn't have to date someone whose socioeconomic class, hobby, when the power. When an acquaintance made a sneering comment about it, it sailed right over my head. A lawyer messaged me and he's surprisingly witty, down to earth, etc.
I just want to try my luck, and if she is there, then that will be a big bonus. According to them, a harmonious relationship is possible only between a man and a woman who belong to the same social class. He looked after an elderly mother for years, so I know he would be able to look after me if he was sick. Dating websites are gaining ground in India. Sometimes the problem with dating outside your social class has nothing to do with the actual relationship. It was personality style more than class or money.
Goals were to be created and worked toward. They attached no value at all to academic prowess. Self-Improvement and Personal Well-Being.
Depending on which text editor you're pasting into, you might have to add the italics to the site name. The "New York Times" article "When Richer Weds Poorer, Money Isn't the Only Difference" describes a couple in which the lower-class husband did not fit in with people from his wealthy wife's social class -- because he was a straight shooter and she and her friends talked around issues. The deception got worse. My idea of heaven is an early night and a good book, but I was attracted by his hard-drinking, hard-living lifestyle.

Man arrested after police find lethal drugs during traffic stop
By WAFF 48 Digital Staff | June 20, 2016 at 11:43 PM CDT - Updated August 6 at 12:42 PM
(Source: Limestone County Sheriff's Office)
LIMESTONE COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - One man was arrested on Monday after police found marijuana and another drug 50 times more potent than pure heroin during a traffic stop.
A Limestone County deputy pulled over Joshua Molt, 25 of Elkmont, Monday afternoon for driving erratically near the intersection of Mooresville Road and Thach Road.
The deputy recognized signs that the driver was under the influence of some substance and could also smell suspicious odors coming from the vehicle.
An unmarked bottle was discovered in the van containing 78 "false" Xanax bars and another bottle containing 3.5 grams of marijuana.Since the marking and thickness of the pills were slightly inconsistent of Xanax bars, investigators were called for assistance.
Narcotics investigators confirmed that the pills contained fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is very lethal. Fentanyl is also known to be up to 100 times more potent than morphine.
Molt is charged with drug trafficking and illegal possession of marijuana. He is being held in the Limestone County Jail on a $1,000 bond for possession of marijuana charge. The bond for drug trafficking has not yet been set.

We have particular concern that 8 of the defendants are lawyers - 7 of which are in custody - and are indicted in this case simply for doing their job of defending their clients. In a modern society this is unacceptable.

Traditional Life - The Nakoda (Stoney) Nation
The Nakoda people are known by many names. They are also known as the Assiniboine, a term possibly derived from an Ojibwa word meaning "the people that cook with hot stones", referring to the Nakoda practice of taking hot stones and placing them in water to boil the water to make broth. This interesting method of cooking was not lost on European traders who, upon encountering the Nakoda, gave them the name that is still associated with them today: Stoney.
Originally, the Nakoda were a part of the powerful Sioux nation whose traditional lands lay much further south in what is now the United States of America. The Nakoda take their name from their language, one of three known Siouan dialects, with Lakoda, and Dakoda (or Dakota) being the other two. Sometime before 1640, the Nakoda split off from the main Sioux tribe and migrated north from the Mississippi River region to the Lake Superior region in what is now eastern Canada. At this time, the Nakoda allied themselves with the Cree First Nations living in the region, and then began a westward migration towards the area around Lake Winnipeg.
The earliest written records about the Nakoda were compiled by Jesuit missionaries sometime around 1658. Encounters with European traders brought European tools and weapons into the lives of Nakoda bands. This, and their alliance with the Cree, caused the Nakoda to press westward in the 1700s, eventually splitting up into smaller groups, one of which travelled north into the woodland regions, and the other remaining the plains, eventually making their way to the lands at the lower slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The Nakoda's aggressive push into the plains and their alliance with the Cree made them enemies of the First Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy, and warfare with the Blackfoot and with the Tsuu T'ina First Nations was common.
By 1873, the Nakoda had broken up into a number of smaller bands. Some Nakoda bands ended up signing the Treaty 6 agreement with the Canadian government in 1876, but three Nakoda bands - the Bearspaw band, the Chiniquay Band, and the Goodstoney band - did not attend these talks, participating later in the Treaty 7 talks of 1877. These three bands occupied territory between the Rocky Mountains and the territories held by the Blackfoot and their allies.
Like other plains tribes, Nakoda social life was based on a nomadic lifestyle driven by the activity of bison hunting. Nakoda culture was a very open style of culture, and the Nakoda people were known for their hospitality to strangers and receptivity to outside ideas and philosophies that were valuable to them. As a result, the Nakoda were among the first of the plains tribes to embrace Christianity when it came to them in the form of Methodist missionaries in 1840, though they probably thought of it in terms of sharing spiritual ideas, drawing parallels and interweaving Christian thought with their own traditional spiritual beliefs and philosophies, rather than permitting foreign spiritual thought to supplant their traditional ways. As it was, Nakoda spirituality emerged from a life connected to the land, and a deep reverence for the law of the Great Spirit, the Creator.
When Treaty 7 was negotiated with the southern plains tribes in 1877, the three bands of the Nakoda who signed it were placed in a difficult position as they had to enter negotiations that were dominated by their enemy, the Blackfoot, and had to travel deep into Blackfoot territory to attend the talks. As a result, when Treaty negotiations were underway, they camped on the opposite side of the Oldman River from the Blackfoot and Tsuu T'ina. The Nakoda were the first of the tribes to accept treaty with the British Crown, and Nakoda chiefs Jacob Bearspaw, Jacob Goodstoney, and John Chiniquay, all signed Treaty 7 on behalf of the people.
The signing of the treaty brought a share of frustration and misery to the Nakoda. The Nakoda were expected to live on a reserve and farm the land instead of hunt. However, the reserve lands did not reflect the distinctiveness of the three Nakoda bands who signed the treaty, as it was a single reserve for all the Nakoda, and not three separate ones. To make matters worse, the reserve land surveyed for the Nakoda was not agriculturally viable. The Nakoda survived through hunting, but encroaching settlement eventually made this lifestyle difficult to maintain. Eventually, the Nakoda managed to petition for separate reserve lands for the three Treaty 7 bands.
Members of the Nakoda Nation earned their places in history for the work they have done for their people and throughout the world. A few short profiles of some of these remarkable individuals are included in this section of the website.

Norman Augustus Black (born November 12, 1957) is an American former professional basketball player who played in the CBA, NBA, and PBA. He's the current head coach for the Meralco Bolts.

He has since settled in the Philippines. He is also a former head coach of the San Miguel Beermen, Mobiline Phone Pals, Pop Cola 800s, Sta. Lucia Realtors and Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters. He has also coached the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP. During his playing career, his moniker was Mr. 100%.

Career

High school, college, NBA and CBA career
Black played high school basketball for the Cardinal Gibbons School in Baltimore where he graduated in 1975.   He then played for Saint Joseph's College in Pennsylvania from 1975 to 1979, averaging 17 points per game in his playing career. Black later played in Continental Basketball Association from 1979 to 1982 for the Lancaster Red Roses and the Philadelphia Kings. He also played for the Detroit Pistons in the National Basketball Association, but played only three games in the 1980–81 season, averaging 2.7 points per game.

PBA career
In 1981, Black was playing in the Detroit Pistons' summer basketball league when he was offered a job on the other side of the world. "Jimmy Mariano, who was coach of Great Taste at the time, asked me if I wanted to come over and play in the Philippines," he said. The lure of guaranteed money, something the Pistons could not offer then, helped change his life in a way he could never have imagined. However, by the time he returned Mariano's call, Big Lew Massey had taken the job. But it did not take long before another Philippine Basketball Association club came calling. Tefilin's General Manager Frank Harn offered the same contract as Mariano and he immediately took the offer.

In 1981, he made his PBA debut for Tefilin. In 14 games, he averaged an outstanding 51 point per game, but failed to lead his team to a championship. He returned to the Philippines in 1982, playing 66 games for San Miguel Beer and averaged close to 43 points per contest. With him, locals Yoyong Martirez, Manny Paner, Marte Saldaña, and head coach Tommy Manotoc, San Miguel won the 1982 Invitational tournament against guest South Korea. In 1983, he played for Great Taste Coffee and averaged 38 points in 49 games played. Always considered an intelligent as well as a hard-working player, he became the recipient of the very first "Mr. 100% Award" in that season.  Sportscaster Pinggoy Pengson dubbed him "That Old Black Magic" after a song from the 1950s.

Two years later, he returned to play for Magnolia Quench Plus, norming 43.5 points per game, while scoring his career best 76 points. After Magnolia (later San Miguel Beer), left the league for a while, he played for rookie squad Alaska, after former Magnolia players were put in the new franchise. After a short while, he returned to San Miguel as their playing coach in some import-laden conferences while acting as a full-time coach in the All-Filipino Conferences. In 1989, he played and coached the Beermen to a rare Grand Slam, the third in PBA history. In 1990, he played his last complete season as a player before finally focusing his duties as head coach in 1991.

Coaching career

San Miguel
"It was former ambassador Danding Cojuangco who asked me to become a head coach in 1985," Black relates, "I had no desire to be a coach back then." He went on to say that the former ambassador probably heard something in Black's voice while he was doing some analysis for the TV broadcast of the PBA that made Cojuangco believe he would be suited for coaching.

His coaching career started around 1985 and 1986, as a playing coach. But by 1987, he became San Miguel's full-time coach until 1996, when he left the Beermen. He won nine championships as head coach of San Miguel including a Grandslam in 1989 making San Miguel the winningest team in the PBA, coaching some of the best players in PBA history such as superstars Samboy Lim, Allan Caidic, Hector Calma, Ramon Fernandez, Ricky Brown, Ato Agustin and role players Alvin Teng, Yves Dignadice, Art dela Cruz, Franz Pumaren, Elmer Reyes, Jeffrey Graves, Pido Jarencio, Bobby Jose, Romy Lopez, Josel Angeles, Ricky Cui, Kevin Ramas, Bong Ravena, and Dong Polistico. In 1994, he was named head coach of the Philippine Team in the Hiroshima Asian Games, after the Beermen won the All-Filipino Cup. However, the country went home without a medal in basketball, after placing fourth. In 1996, with San Miguel needing an import, he played as a temporary import for the Beermen and scored 15 points.

Mobiline, Sta. Lucia
After almost a decade with San Miguel, he became the head coach of the young Mobiline Phone Pals in 1997. But after the Commissioner's Cup, he became the coach of the struggling Pop Cola squad. He led the 800's to two third-place finishes with Vergel Meneses, Bonel Balingit, and Kenneth Duremdes on the team. he also suited up for Pop Cola, probably his last PBA game, in a third place game against Shell. He scored 10 points, including a three-pointer, that gave the 800s its second consecutive third-place run. In 1999, Pop Cola struggled all through, including a terrible 0–8 finish in the Governor's Cup. he left Pop Cola after the season before being hired as Sta. Lucia Realtors head coach.

In 2000, he led Sta. Lucia to its first finals appearance, losing to San Miguel in five games of the Commissioner's Cup. However, a year later, he coached the Realtors to its first championship, defeating the Beermen in the season ending Governor's Cup. After the 2002 season, he resigned as head coach of the Realtors with longtime assistant, and friend Alfrancis Chua elevated as the new coach of the team.

TV commentator
During his coaching days, Black was even hired by PBA TV broadcasters as a guest analyst of selected games. After leaving Sta. Lucia in 2003, he was hired by new TV network National Broadcasting Network as their analyst for PBA games. He normally was paired with Mico Halili and did quite well as a commentator, often mixing a Tagalog word to his English analysis.

After NBN was dropped as TV broadcaster, he was absorbed by new TV network Associated Broadcasting Company. He normally pairs with Mico Halili, Ed Picson, and Paolo Trillo. During the 2005–2006 and the 2006–2007 season, he was seen every Sunday on the halftime segment "Black's Board" where he dished out the week's highlights around the league and Philippine basketball as well.

He also did several shoots about basketball basics in a segment called Burlington Basketball 101 for ABC's pregame show known as PBA Gamebol. Outside of commentary, he is known as an endorser for Burlington, a known sock product.

Ateneo Blue Eagles head coach
In 2004, Black was hired by the Ateneo Blue Eagles as its team consultant. But after a disappointing 2004 season, in which the Blue Eagles finished third under Sandy Arespacochaga, school officials hired him as the Blue Eagles' new head coach for the 2005 campaign, the 35th coach in its history.

He led the Blue Eagles to a 10–4 win–loss record in his first season, but they were eliminated by the De La Salle Green Archers, who had a twice to beat advantage against them.

In the 69th season, he led the Blue Eagles to a 10–2 win–loss slate, the best record in the elimination round. After defeating the Adamson Falcons in the Final Four, Ateneo battled the UST Growling Tigers in a grueling three-game series. Black designed a play in their Game 1 victory. The play was a long inbound pass by Macky Escalona who found a wide-open Kramer underneath the basket for the victory. However, despite the historic Game 1 victory, they were unable to win the championship. They lost to the Tigers in Game 2 by a large margin, and then in Game 3 in overtime.

In 2007, during the UAAP's 70th season, in spite of a lack of talent, he led the Eagles to a 9–5 standing. However, the Blue Eagles still lost in crucial games; they were unable to secure the No. 2 Seed due to their loss to the NU Bulldogs, and lost to the returning De La Salle Green Archers in a battle for the No. 2 seed, which would have given them a twice to beat advantage had they won. Instead, they settled for the No. 3 seed, and were able to eliminate the defending champions UST Growling Tigers. The Blue Eagles then forced a do-or-die game against La Salle in the semifinals but lost.

Later that year, he coached the Blue Eagles to winning the 2007 Collegiate Champions League national basketball title, where they defeated the University of the Visayas Green Lancers.

In 2008, which was season 71 of the UAAP, he led the Blue Eagles to a 13–1 elimination round record, and won the championship over the defending champions La Salle by sweeping the series with Ateneo winning, 69–61 in Game 1, and, 62–51 in Game 2. This was Ateneo's first UAAP title since winning it in 2002 . Months later, he coached the Blue Eagles to another championship in the annual Philippine University Games, defeating the EAC Generals.

In 2009, he coached the Blue Eagles to three titles. In UAAP Season 72, the Blue Eagles won their second straight UAAP Men's Basketball Championship, won against the UE Red Warriors, and again with a 13–1 win loss record. This was followed by back-to-back titles in the University Games, this time won against St. Francis of Assisi College. The third title was the Blue Eagles' second national championship under his tutelage in the 2009 Philippine Collegiate Championship, the successor to the Collegiate Champions League, where they defeated the FEU Tamaraws

In 2010, he won his first three-peat as a coach for Ateneo Blue Eagles for UAAP Season 73, duplicating the Grand Slam feat when he was a coach for San Miguel Beermen in 1989. he led the Blue Eagles to a 10–4 win–loss record in the eliminations (good for solo 2nd place and the last twice-to-beat advantage), a victory over the Adamson Falcons in the semifinals, and a sweep of the FEU Tamaraws in the finals, with a 72–49 blowout victory in Game 1 and a 65–62 title-clinching victory in Game 2 (in which the Eagles were threatened throughout the game). Later that year, he coached the Blue Eagles to winning the 2010 Philippine Collegiate Championship title, this time against the Adamson Falcons, earning his team their third national championship under his tutelage.

In 2011, he once again steered the Ateneo Blue Eagles to a rare Four-peat as head coach for UAAP Season 74, joining the UST Growling Tigers and the De La Salle Green Archers as the only schools to win four basketball titles in a row since the Final Four started in 1994.  Under his tutelage, the Blue Eagles finished the eliminations with a 13–1 win–loss record.  They faced the UST Growling Tigers in the Final Four, with Ateneo winning, 69–66.  Later on in the Finals, it was a rematch against their previous year's opponent, the FEU Tamaraws.  Once again, his Ateneo Blue Eagles swept the series, with Ateneo winning, 82–64 in Game 1, and, 82–69 in Game 2.

In 2012, months before the opening of the 75th season of the UAAP he announced that he would be leaving the Ateneo Blue Eagles right after UAAP Season 75 to go to the pros and to takeover the coaching duties of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters from Coach Chot Reyes, who would be leaving the team to coach the Smart Gilas II. At the end of the UAAP season, the Blue Eagles won another championship, their fifth in a row this time in a rematch against their 2006 Finals opponent the UST Growling Tigers by sweeping the series with a score of 83–78 in Game 1, and 65–62 in Game 2. With this achievement, he became only the second coach in the history of the UAAP to win five straight UAAP championship after Baby Dalupan who have won seven straight championships (Season 28–34) with the UE Red Warriors.

Back to coaching in the PBA

Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters (2012–2014)

After winning five straight titles for Ateneo, Black returned to coaching in the PBA, with the star-studded Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters. While coaching the Texters, he became the latest member of the 500-win coaching club.  He also guided the Texters to their third-straight All-Filipino crown for the 2012–13 PBA season.

Meralco Bolts (2014–present)
In 2014, the teams under MVP group reshuffles its coaching staff. Black was assigned to be the coach for the Meralco Bolts, while Jong Uichico replaced him as head coach for Talk 'N Text. In his first conference with the Bolts in 2014–15 Philippine Cup, his team clinched the top six in the eliminations with a 6–5 win–loss record. They entered the quarterfinals as the sixth seed with twice-to-beat advantage over Purefoods and dethroned the defending champions in the process. Few days after, the Bolts lost to Alaska in the knockout round.

On the 2016 Governors' Cup Finals, Black returned to the championship series once again and led Meralco to their first finals appearance to face the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel led by another of the winningest coaches, Tim Cone, but lost to Barangay Ginebra in Game 6. The next Governors' Cup, he led the Bolts to its best finish in the eliminations with a 9 – 2 win – loss record for the 1st seed and a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals. Meralco then defeated the Blackwater Elite in two games and the Star Hotshots in the semifinals for three straight games and booked a finals rematch against Ginebra. However, the Bolts still lost the series in seven games.

Some kosher college pigskin news to kick off 2017. UCLA has hired Jedd Fisch, currently Michigan's assistant coach, as its new offensive coordinator. Beyond the obligatory mazel tov and assurance that people eat bagels in Southern California, this hire is extra exciting for Jewish college football fans. It means that next season Fisch will be working closely with Bruins quarterback Josh Rosen—known to fans and teammates as "Chosen Rosen"—the best Jewish player college football has seen in a while. The sophomore, who spent the last month of this season out with a shoulder injury, was one of UCLA's most anticipated recruits in recent years.
To bring this NCAA-sanctioned game of Jewish geography full circle: In 1987, Jedd Fisch was a camper at Mah-Kee-Nac, an all-boys sleep-away camp in the Berkshires. His counselor in Bunk 21 that summer? A recent graduate of Assumption College, a Catholic school in Worcester, Mass., named Brian Kelly, who almost 30 years later is head football coach for the University of Notre Dame. Dayenu.


Dr. George speaks of alternatives in healthcare insurance that are becoming more popular as more Americans are finding out the limitations and costs in national/corporate health insurance. As "an old School physician," Dr. George emphasizes, in concluding the interview, the importance of the Hippocratic Oath and the responsibility doctors have towards patients and how today their relation is being threatened. Dr. George speaks of how she disseminates information "on health issues and politics of medicine" with her weekly radio show and her writings. Dr. George comments on her personal background, her involvement in conservative causes through Project 21, an initiative of the National Center for Public Policy Research.


Come on, is that even a tough question? Why the nuclear option? Just read Greenspan's book, The Age of Turbulence, and check out when he talked about the crash.
"We don't need to wait to see what happens. We know what's going to happen." "You know what people say about getting shot? You feel like you've been punched, but the trauma is such that you don't fell the pain right away? In twenty-four or forty-eight hours, we're going to be feeling a lot of pain."
So they used the bazooka.
The market wasn't going to melt on Monday, and then, give people all the time in the world to buy stocks at wonderful prices, and then open down again on Tuesday, to reverse and then, have every pundit in the world say it was "Turnaround Tuesday!"
Markets don't work like that. You had the panic on Thursday, the recheck of Thursday's lows, (ex MMM and PG) at 10:30 on Friday, and now you are waiting for turnaround Tuesday? So every blogger with a tinfoil hat can then tell you that they were right because the system was going to collapse?
Think like a bankster crook, and you can take the "free money" that the banksters are doling out!
Or you can logically assess it, and do it your own way, and lose your shirt because the bankers brought out the bazookas!
That's a lot of monopoly money being printed by Germany and the IMF. But after last week's market action, I cannot see any retail person wanting to enter the casino again... the market's integrity is gone.
are you saying monday will be up...a chance to get out...and then tuesday we'll go back down?
Stocks I think made their bottoms. But if you are trading futures you flip them on the spike. They aren't a LT vehicle.
We'll probably have a strong opening, then it will pull back a bit, and then it will probably finish strong.
"They" need the markets up, and they have the monopoly money!

George Clausen (1852–1944) supplied a series of six images on the theme of 'Making Guns', showing the efforts that lay behind production of the heavy weaponry of World War One – the large guns we see in Brangwyn's lithographs, for example. As with Nevinson's Acetylene Welders, Clausen makes dramatic use of the light thrown by fiery sparks and molten metal, as a silhouetted figure approaches the blast furnace. By the time he was commissioned to produce these works, Clausen was already well-established as a founder of the New English Art Club and Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy. He was appointed an official war artist in 1917, but was not required to serve abroad owing to his age. Clausen also produced a colour lithograph for the set of twelve 'Ideals', entitled The Reconstruction of Belgium (WA1919.31.2).

The petitioner, Joseph E. Brett of Quincy, in the County of Norfolk, is the registered owner named in and present holder of Certificate of Title No. 31168 (Exhibit No. 1) issued by the Norfolk County Registry District and covering Lot 305 on Land Court Subdivision Plan 264A, a copy of a portion of which is filed in said Registry District with Certificate No. 18 (Exhibit No. 3). The Memorandum of Encumbrances which forms a part of the petitioner's certificate bears the notation, among others, of Document No. 296502 described as a "Grant" running in favor of "Robert B. Lyons et ux Dorothea L. Lyons". The notation further continues "Rt of way. See Doc. Pl. with Doc." The respondents, Robert B. Lyons and Dorothea Louise Lyons, also of said Quincy are the persons described in the Memorandum of Encumbrances as the beneficiaries of a grant of a right of way. Mr. and Mrs. Lyons own an adjoining parcel of registered land shown as Lot 304 on Exhibit No. 3 and covered by Certificate of Title No. 30737; title to a portion of their land is not registered, their entire piece, both registered and unregistered, being shown on Exhibit No. 2 to which reference is hereafter made.
Document No. 296502 [Note 1] was executed on November 22, 1968, recorded with Norfolk Deeds on November 22, 1968 in Book 4558, page 557 (Exhibit No. 5) and registered shortly thereafter on November 29, 1968. Recently a controversy has arisen between the parties as to whether the petitioner in executing this instrument conveyed to the respondents an easement or the fee in a twenty foot wide strip of said Lot 305 adjacent to the rear or northerly line thereof. The petitioner therefore brought a bill into this Court to amend his certificate of title by adding thereto a statement that said Document No. 296502 is an appurtenant right only.
The respondents filed an answer denying that the petitioner intended to convey only a right of way to them and alleging that the petitioner at all times intended and did convey to the respondents the fee simple to the land described in Exhibit No. 5 and that "the words 'right of way' were inserted in said Document No. 296502 by the petitioner for the purpose of creating a restriction that no building or structure would be erected on said parcel...."
A trial was held at the Land Court on October 31, 1975 at which a stenographer was appointed to record the testimony. All exhibits are incorporated herein for the purpose of any appeal.
On the petitioner's Lot 305 there is now, and was in 1968, located a commercial block consisting of a variety store and a package store. The respondents had for many years lived in a residence on adjoining land. This structure was moved in the late Sixties, and a small apartment building erected on respondents' land. The properties of both the petitioner and the respondents front on West Squantum Street, a heavily traveled thoroughfare in the City of Quincy, and they are within a short distance of the Montclair School, a public grammar school. The respondents planned to provide access for their tenants to the parking lot at the rear of the apartment by a driveway entering West Squantum Street next to the stores on Lot 305. A variance for this purpose had been obtained from the Board of Appeals (Exhibit No. 14) and the City had commenced work on the curb cuts. The area between the two buildings were the driveway originally was contemplated is shown on Exhibits No. 8 and 10. The petitioner objected to this location, either for reasons of safety, as he testified, or of interference with his customers' and suppliers' parking, as the male respondent testified. As an alternative he proposed furnishing access to the respondents' land from Harriet Avenue, a side street which bounded the petitioner's land on the east, across the rear of Lot 305 to the apartment site, in lieu of the driveway out to the main street, and the respondents accepted.
The parties entered into an agreement dated November 21, 1968 (Exhibit No. 4) in a stationer's form of purchase and sale agreement covering a parcel of land twenty feet in width adjoining the northerly boundary line of Lot 305 and extending from Harriet Avenue to the respondents' Lot 304 on said plan 264A [Note 1]. The agreement did not specifically recite that an easement only was to be sold in such parcel, but rather under the heading "Special Provisions" recited "It is specifcally (sic), provided that no use shall be made of the said property other than as a driveway allowing access to and from Harriet Avenue and the parking area at the rear of the premises located at No. 211 West Squantum Street, North Quincy". The agreement mad provision for only a nominal purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00) but it imposed on the "buyer" an obligation to grade and black top not only the twenty feet wide strip but the remainder of the lot "for the purpose of making said premises suitable as a parking area with the boundaries of said parking area and driveway to be clearly delineated, on or before June 1, 1969."
Pursuant to this agreement the petitioner and the respondents executed Exhibit No. 5 which is a standard printed form of quitclaim deed in which the area in dispute is described by metes and bounds; however, the instrument then continues: "It is specifically provided that no use shall be made of the said property other than use as a driveway allowing access to and from Harriet Avenue and the parking area at the rear of the premises located at no. 211 West Squantum Street". Delivered with Exhibit No. 5 was a plan entitled "Plan of Land Showing Right-of-Way Quincy Massachusetts" dated September, 1968 (Exhibit No.2) on which the disputed parcel is denominated "20' RIGHT OF WAY 20'" and is set off from the remainder of Lot 305 by dotted lines. After the delivery by the petitioner to the respondents of the grant and plan at the office of a local bank, without counsel present, a representative of the respondents took them to Dedham for recording and registration. The respondents fulfilled their obligation to grad and hard top the petitioner's premises, and apparently by agreement lines for parking spaces were painted in the twenty foot wide area (Exhibit No. 11) leaving little of the driveway area for passage. Access to the respondents' property seemingly therefore has been over the remainder of Lot 305. A certificate of title for the premises has never been issued to the respondents, and the City of Quincy has continued to assess the real estate taxes on all of Lot 305 to the petitioner.
Upon all the evidence I find and rule that the petitioner conveyed to the respondents an easement to use the twenty foot wide strip of Lot 305 for access to and egress from Harriet Avenue and the respondents' premises and retained title to the fee of the right of way. Although the wording of the agreement and grant are couched in phrases more properly employed for a conveyance, the entire course of conduct between the parties leads to the conclusion each party intended only that right of way was to be granted with the result that an unsatisfactory means of access to the respondents' parking lot was to be eliminated by use of a portion of the petitioner's premises, the new driveway benefiting all parties to the transaction. See Dakin v. Savage, 172 Mass. 23 , 27. While counsel for the respondents argues that a conveyance of the fee was had subject to a restriction that it be used only as a driveway, such a restriction would remain in force only for a period of thirty years when the owner would be free to use it for whatever purpose the laws then might permit. G. L. c. 184, Sec. 27. There seems to be no reason why the petitioner for no consideration other than the improvement of his remaining yard would have conveyed to the respondents more than an easement which is all they required for access and which they might continue to use forever for such purpose. Moreover, the male respondent is knowledgeable in the area of real estate and must be assumed to have examined the plan delivered with Exhibit No. 5 on which the area is clearly called a right of way, and the plan is so titled.
Under the Land Registration system the conveyance of a portion of the registered land requires the preparation of a Subdivision Plan in accordance with Land Court standards and its filing with the Land Court Engineers who then approve the description in any proposed deed before it will be accepted for registration in any local Registration District. Conversely and easement affecting registered land may be filed without a plan; if a plan is filed, however, it need not be approved by the Land Court Engineers. Exhibit No. 2 is not a Subdivision Plan prepared so far as appears in accordance with Land Court standards, but rather is a plan showing the location of the right of way, not a new lot. No certificate of title evidencing ownership could be issued to respondents without the preparation of a new and more complete plan nor could the Registry District accept the instrument as a deed without approval of the Land Court Engineers. The Registry District construed Exhibit No. 5 as an easement, as had the City of Quincy, and I concur in their decisions. This conclusion also gives weight to all the language used by the draftsman of the deed.
The petitioner has prayed that his Certificate of Title No. 31168 be amended by a statement confirming that the petitioner is the owner in fee simple of all the land described therein subject to said right of way. I hold that no such amendment is necessary since said Certificate presently so provides. Certificate of Title No. 30737 in which the respondents are named as the registered owners does not include any reference to the right appurtenant thereto to use the driveway across Lot 305. Upon request of the respondents filed with the Recorder within twenty days, the Norfolk County Registry District will be ordered to add this notation. I hold also that the easement is appurtenant to the respondents' unregistered land adjoining Lot 304 and comprising a part of the premises in question.
[Note 1] A copy of this document as filed with the Norfolk County Registry District of the Land Court was not introduced into evidence, but counsel agreed in open court that it was the same as the recorded copy.


17 September 2012: We welcome the recommendation of the last Transport Committee report that aims to strengthen partnerships between local authorities and bus operators in places where bus services are poor, and to focus efforts on raising service standards and achieving a reliable and integrated service.
We agree that cooperative partnerships and regulatory reform can provide opportunities to offer better bus services to everyone. As the report points out, places like Oxford represent concrete examples of successful partnerships between operators, local authorities and bus passengers. There are no reasons why we should not replicate such successes. However, it is imperative that the Government does not deny people the opportunity to be better served by public transport by insisting on cuts that stem from short-term thinking.

One old lady was asked if she would be willing to pay for the TV licence instead of getting it free.
She said "if i had to pay for my TV licence, I would have to change which sky package I was on."
ahaha She said "if i had to pay for my TV licence, I would have to change which sky package I was on."
