Easy and Student friendly interface – The website user interface is cool and impressive. It was easy to mention my requirements while placing the order on the website.
Friendly and easily customer support – The customer service of this custom essay writing website was good enough to discuss my concern. They attended the call as an expert.
Price – Unlike other, they have a particular pricing system. Absoluteessays.com won't provide you different packages. They have the lowest price of $12.99/page, which is actually a good think.
Lengthy order form – There are too many queries in the order form. It takes tons of time to give all the details.
Lack of Services – They primarily deliver the essay writing and homework services. There is no team for doing the research papers.
Poor quality of work – The writers were not reliable at all. They missed the deadlines as well as the content quality was not acceptable.
Unprofessional Behavior – The site claims for a full team of expert writers but what I felt was totally Final document was full of grammatical errors, and no proper research was done while attempting those projects.
I have also provided rating on the basis of the services they provided.
Talking about the quality of the essay writers of this online essay writing company we are not impressed at all.
I searched for essay reviews of other students too, but it was hard to find any satisfying complement for the writers. Reviews were either customized or paid one.
Pricing was great as the students with a tight budget can easily afford something genuine. The pricing strategy of this website is focused on students. I appreciate this, but their writers should also produce some legit works.
I know many students who constantly search for a cheap and reliable option for custom essay writing services. I have reviewed a lot of such type of websites to make your things easy, but this website failed poorly on my expectations. I will recommend another place.

Warren Buffett, Bill Clinton Sound off on "Recession 2013"
U.S. President Barack Obama is undoubtedly breathing a sigh of relief after the September U.S. jobs report showed the unemployment rate in the U.S. surprisingly trickled down to 7.8% from 8.1%.
That's the lowest level in 44 months - since January 2009, the same month President Obama took office.
But, the number of jobs added was shy of estimates, and the unemployment rate remains at an unhealthy and elevated level.
And as usual, there are scary statistics lurk behind that headline number.
"I take these numbers with an enormous grain of salt," economist Joshua Shapiro of consultancy MFR Inc. told The Wall Street Journal. "I think the underlying trend is pretty clear in terms of the labor market-that it's still struggling quite mightily."
U.S. Labor Department data released Friday revealed total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 114,000 workers last month, slightly missing economists' estimate of 115,000.
Total employment as measured by the government's household survey rose 873,000 in September.
But the bulk of the jobs added in September were for part-time workers, positions taken because of waning business conditions or because they were the only jobs those seeking work could find. The number of people who are working part time but want to be working full time rose by 582,000.
In addition, a great number of discouraged Americans have simply stopped looking for work or have exhausted unemployment benefits and fallen off the unemployment radar.
Also missing from the count is the out-of-work self-employed group. And a plethora of students are choosing additional education instead of work as a means to avoid a difficult job market.
Even if the "cooked" figure of 114,000 was accurate, it's still well below the minimum 125,000 jobs that need to be added every month just to keep up with population growth.
"When you look at the payroll numbers, they are bumping along where we have been around this 100,000 level, which is not enough to consistently reduce the unemployment rate. The overall message is one of plodding along. It's OK, it's not disastrous, but it's nowhere near where the Fed wants to be," Lee Ferridge, head of macro strategy for North America at State Street Global Markets stressed to CNBC.
The September U.S. jobs report, the second to last before Election 2012, is expected to show 110,000 jobs added for the month - but there's a chance it could be much uglier.
Every politician promises "more jobs" for the American people. This has been the foundation of virtually every speech at the conventions for both parties.
But what we really need are "more quality jobs" - especially if we want to steer the country away from Recession 2013.
From numerous angles, the August U.S. jobs report was disappointing - except for GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who used the numbers to blast U.S. President Barack Obama.
The Labor Department reported today (Friday) that U.S. employers added a paltry 96,000 jobs last month.
Unemployment and the economy are two of the most prominent issues of this year's campaign, and Romney seized the opportunity to stake a political advantage following the dreary news.
"If last night was the party, this morning is the hangover. For every net new job created, nearly four Americans have given up looking for work entirely," Romney said in a statement.
He continued stating that President Obama has not made good on his promises, and reiterated the message that the United States is no better off than it was four years ago when the president took office.
Romney pledged to create some 12 million new jobs by the end of his first term.
In a rally cry Romney said, "America deserves new leadership that will get our economy moving again."
The August U.S. jobs report is critical on many levels.
Due out tomorrow (Friday) by the U.S. Labor Department, the August report isn't expected to be enough to lower the U.S. unemployment rate.
An uninspiring 120,000 jobs are expected to have been added in August, according to a CNNMoney survey, a notable slowdown in hiring from July's seasonally adjusted 163,000.
July's number was the strongest showing in five months, yet it still was not vigorous enough to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate actually ticked up a notch to an unhealthy 8.3%.
Here are two reasons tomorrow's U.S. jobs report is a biggie.
August U.S. Jobs Report: What's at Stake?
The employment report comes just weeks before the November presidential election. President Obama and his administration have long been blamed for the stagnant and elevated unemployment level, the lack of job creation and as a result, the slow going economy.
With just three more monthly jobs reports due out prior to the November election, Team Obama could certainly use a boost from better-than-expected numbers. The president is treading at break-even level on jobs and it is very doubtful that the unemployment rate will fall below 8% by then.
"The soft economic environment that we're having is not going to be good for any incumbent. It's a tough sell for anyone in office," Sam Bullard, a Wells Fargo senior economist told CNN Money.
No incumbent president has won re-election with an unemployment rate greater than 7.2% since FDR's rein.
On the other side of things, according to a piece in Business Insider, a top Wall Street source who backs presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said a robust showing in Friday's report bodes well for President Obama. "If the number is good Friday it doubles his [President Obama's] bounce. Maybe triples it. If it comes in really low, it could extinguish it. I don't think there's ever been a more important jobs number, politically, than this one."
If the report nearly meets or matches the expected 120,000, it "won't matter as much" according to the source.
After three months of weak job creation, a better-than-expected reading in July's U.S. jobs report was welcome, but still isn't anything to get too excited about. Despite the encouraging job gains, the unemployment rate actually ticked up.
The Labor Department reported U.S. payrolls increased by a seasonally adjusted 163,000 jobs in July, better than the 95,000 economists had expected. But, in a separate survey of U.S. households, numbers revealed the unhealthy unemployment rate actually eked up, rising from 8.2% to 8.3%.
"Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a hammer blow to struggling middle-class families," GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said in a statement.
With the November presidential election growing near, the jobs report carries massive political weight.
Not since World War II has an incumbent president attempted re-election with an employment rate over 8%. Since President Obama took office, the unemployment rate has remained elevated and above that key level.
And it's not likely to go down before November.
"We've now gone 42 consecutive months with the unemployment rate above 8 percent," Romney said in a statement. "Middle-class Americans deserve better, and I believe America can do better."
June's U.S. jobs report released today (Friday) deflated the brief celebratory mood that followed Thursday's upbeat employment data, and ended a second quarter packed with weak economic figures.
The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that employers added a skimpy 80,000 jobs in June, much less than analysts' estimates of 100,000-125,000. The jobless rate remains at an elevated 8.2%.
The fresh data concludes a dismal second quarter.
In the first quarter of 2012, the average number of monthly jobs created was 226,000. In the second quarter that average fell to a measly 75,000. While job gains in April and May deviated little from estimates, June's data was significantly lower than anticipated.
"Today's report is the rotten cherry atop the half-baked economic news of the last few months," TD Bank's Chris Jones said in a note.
Roughly one-third of the jobs added in June were in temporary services. Manufacturing added 11,000, marking its ninth straight month of gains, while growth in factory jobs dropped off sharply in the second quarter. Healthcare jobs grew by 13,000 and financial services added 5,000. Meanwhile, retailers, transportation firms, and the government slashed jobs.
Friday's lackluster report came on the heels of some encouraging data.
On Thursday, ADP's employment report showed that private employers added 176,000 jobs in June -- far exceeding economists' expectations of 95,000. Small businesses and service firms were responsible for most of the gains.
Another optimistic sign Thursday was the decline in the number of first-time applicants for jobless benefits. First-time claims dipped by 14,000 to 373,000, while the four-week average slid by 1,500 to 385,000.
Any optimism had faded Friday after the U.S. jobs report came out. The Dow Jones was down more than 180 points by noon.
As concerns mount that the United States is headed for a recession, two famous minds offered opposing takes on what's in store for the U.S. economy.
In one corner was the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett; in the other, the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.
Speaking at the 25th anniversary dinner of the Economic Club of Washington, Buffett said that it is unlikely the U.S. economy will fall into another recession. He said the chances of that happening are "very low."
Buffett, who blames both political sides for the budget deficit, once again called for raising taxes and cutting spending.
"The problem is the Democrats don't want to talk about what expenditures they would cut and the Republicans don't want to talk about raising revenues," he said.
Buffett said "the big question" remains what's ahead for the euro.
"We've got this system where they're half in and half out," said Buffett, who is currently auctioning off a lunch with himself this week on eBay for charity. "They have to reconcile these things."
Reflecting on the Eurozone he said there is the possibility the U.S. will feel a "spill over" effect from Europe - which some would argue has already happened.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — By the time Mikaela Shiffrin doubled over Thursday afternoon and began to sob, we had learned all we needed to know. The final competitor in the women's giant slalom at the PyeongChang Olympics, Manuela Moelgg of Italy, was still on the course. But the scoreboard, by the final interim split, showed Moelgg trailed by more than a second.
It was over. Gold was Shiffrin's. So then, please, cry. With that performance, Shiffrin put these Games on notice: She is here to display her best skiing. And her best skiing is the best in the world.
Indeed, tomorrow. The slalom is Friday (8 p.m. ET Thursday). It is far and away her best event. The message to the field: Look out. She arrived here tired. Now she is rested. Her confidence was rattled. Now it is restored. For a stretch of races in the middle of the World Cup season, she seemed untouchable. Then she flagged, flat-out exhausted.
We're one race in here, so tapping the brakes on otherworldly possibilities would be prudent. But after Shiffrin took the second Olympic gold of her young career — keep in mind, as you watch her this week, that her 23rd birthday isn't till next month — a historic Games could be afoot. Kick prudence to the curb.
Sounds crazy, after Shiffrin has skied just two runs here? Maybe. But what Shiffrin needed to show Thursday — in an event that had been pushed back from Monday , one of several delays and disruptions in the Alpine skiing schedule — was that her most recent World Cup results were a fluke, not a trend. She straddled the new year by winning eight of nine events, unheard-of in the anything-can-happen world of Alpine racing. What followed was a pre-Olympic jolt: seventh, did not finish, did not finish, seventh, did not finish.
"The wheels came off the bus a little bit," said her mother, Eileen, who also serves as one of her coaches.
The task, before traveling to Korea, was to get out a jack and put them back on. Part of Shiffrin's development into the world's best female skier at the moment (we'll get to Lindsey Vonn, the G.O.A.T., later in the week) has been her newfound ability to excel in multiple disciplines. Some of this is a natural progression from four years ago when, at 18, she won gold in Sochi in slalom. Last season, she showed her complete form by becoming the World Cup overall champion, a status that takes in finishes in all disciplines.
But competing in multiple disciplines means training in multiple disciplines. Shiffrin is a voracious worker, an athlete who skews toward taking one more training run rather than one fewer. At one point this season, Shiffrin had five straight victories. Do that, against the best in the world, and you feel invincible. But those five wins came over nine days, enough to make the sturdiest competitor wobbly-kneed.
When the fun stopped, the focus returned. After the final World Cup event before she traveled here — a stunning slalom run in which she led with three gates to go but astonishingly lost her balance — she took four days off, including travel. In Camp Shiffrin, this is uncharted territory.
Turns out it was necessary. When they got to South Korea and, eventually, got back on snow, the Shiffrin who had essentially spent two months staring down the rest of women's skiing returned.
This is not unique to Shiffrin. These are the Olympics. Joining Shiffrin as favorites for medals Thursday: Worley and Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg, who lead the season-long World Cup giant slalom standings. But each made significant blunders during the first run in the morning, leaving Worley 14th and Rebensburg eighth headed into the afternoon. Shiffrin, in the first sign that her head was properly positioned, calmly skied to second, behind only Moelgg, who has never won a World Cup race in any discipline.
Which is what Shiffrin, clearly, is here to do: prove her game can play. She now has what amounts to a won-loss record in Olympic races: 2-1 — Thursday's gold and the slalom gold from four years ago, with the one "loss" coming in the first Olympic race of her career, a fifth place in the giant slalom in Sochi.
But because she has developed into a horse for all courses, who's to say what she can accomplish now? She is the prohibitive favorite in Friday's slalom. She will skip Saturday's super-G — the only discipline in which she does not have a podium finish in World Cup — and rest before retuning next week for the downhill and the Alpine combined.
Day 7 of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
Place your bets. In 2002, Croatia's Janica Kostelic produced the best Olympics for an Alpine racer: three golds and a silver. It seems absurd to think something like that is within Shiffrin's reach.
She has more than something. It is a gold medal. Her body is rested. Her mind is sound. Now the ball is rolling. Where this might lead is impossible to say. But watch her because each time she takes the hill, history is threatened, and gold is possible to grasp.

The Itonomas River is a river of Bolivia that flows through the departments of Santa Cruz and Beni. It is a part of the Amazon River basin.

Course
Originating near Concepción Lake at the confluence of the intermittent Quimome and Santa Maria Rivers as the San Julián River, the river flows northwards until it becomes the San Pablo River near the city of Ascensión de Guarayos, after which point it forms part of the border between the Beni and Santa Cruz Departments. It then continues into further north into the Beni Department, and after flowing past the small Lake El Bi, it becomes the San Luis River, a name it retains for a short distance until taking on the name Itonomas at its confluence with the Lopez River.

Despite its considerable length, the Itonomas is nominally considered to be a tributary of the shorter Machupo River, which in turn drains into the Iténez River only a short distance further downstream. Additionally, due to the situation of its headwaters at the eastern edge of the vast Bañados del Izozog, the Itonomas can be considered to be a hydrological continuation of the Parapetí River, which originates in the Bolivian Andes.

Over its course it receives tributaries such as the Quizer River.

Samsung Galaxy S3 "Mini" Coming Next Month?
Will Samsung announce a Galaxy S III Mini on October 11th?
The company has issued invites to a press event in Frankfurt for next Thursday, with a byline that reads: "Something big can be small and something small can be big." Rumours of a smaller, less powerful Galaxy S III have persisted since the device's announcement in May. Samsung usually takes its flagship design and tweaks it a little for the middle- and entry-level markets; for example, the Galaxy Y and Galaxy R were offshoots of the Galaxy S II.
With a a 4-inch WVGA (800×480) Super AMOLED screen it would only be 0.8-inches smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S3's screen so, if true, the Mini-moniker is a bit of a misnomer. It might also feature a dual-core processor, a 5MP camera, and will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
Is this just a wild rumour? Let's wait and see!
what is its specification..mainly the screen size.?

On an emotional night in Boston, the Nets dug deep and got a hard-earned victory
By Jon Presser | Jan 27, 2014 | 7:50AM
The Nets beat the Boston Celtics?to win for the 10th time in their last 11 games. It?certainly?wasn't a pretty game, as the two teams both shot under 40% from the field, but it also wasn't your typical January matchup.
For the first time in his career, Paul Pierce played against the only franchise he'd ever known since coming into the league in 1998. He and Kevin Garnett were teammates in Celtics green for six seasons, but they were visitors at the TD Garden on Sunday.
The atmosphere was electric all night long, with thunderous cheers and classy first-quarter video tributes for the two future Hall of Fame Celtic legends.

Kevin Garnett has been revitalized in 2014
Since the ball dropped and the calendar turned to January, it's seemingly been new year, new Nets. From the incredible win in Oklahoma City to the double-overtime win against the Heat, the Nets have looked like a completely different team in 2014, and they've got a league-best 8-1 record to show for it.
No player has looked more revitalized than Kevin Garnett. After Brook Lopez went down, a lot has been asked of the Nets' big men, and Brooklyn really needed KG to be KG. The man they call the Big Ticket has stepped his game up big time in 2014.
The numbers tell quite a story.

The Big Ticket came up huge in crunch time
By Jon Presser | Jan 9, 2014 | 10:10AM
The Nets won their fourth straight game in impressive fashion, snapping the Warriors' 10-game winning streak on the heels of a clutch fourth quarter.
The Nets are 4-0 to start 2014, and over?the course of this win streak, they've gotten contributions from nearly everyone on the team. Late in Wednesday's game, Brooklyn got a big time performance from none other than the Big Ticket, Kevin Garnett.
After the game, Paul Pierce told reporters that it was no coincidence his longtime teammate broke out with a big fourth quarter, as the Nets knew they had a mismatch with Garnett against the smaller Warriors front court, and KG made them pay.

Report Card: Big men need to step up big time, presented by Long Island University
By Jon Presser | Dec 27, 2013 | 2:29PM
In the wake of Brook Lopez's season-ending injury, the Nets' big men need to elevate their game for Brooklyn to weather this perfect storm.
Scoring: D
Since Lopez went down, Kevin Garnett has been installed as the starting center, with Andray Blatche and Mason Plumlee backing him up, primarily. KG has struggled offensively in general this season, averaging 6.7 points per game on 37.2% shooting from the field, both career-lows by far. Additionally, in the past two games starting at center, Garnett has really struggled, shooting just 5-of-17 (29.4%) from the field. All in all, Garnett has posted just a 98.7 Offensive Rating (team points per 100 possessions with him on the court) this year, and a 93.5 Offensive Rating over the last two games.

Note to Jason Kidd: Start Mirza Teletovic
By Jim Mancari | Dec 23, 2013 | 9:28AM
It looks like Mirza Teletovic may finally get the consistent opportunity to prove why the Nets signed him.
Rather than put their tails between their legs, the Nets have to figure out a way to make up Brook Lopez?s production, now that the team?s starting center will be out for the season. Sure, the Nets have gotten off to a slow start, but the Atlantic Division is very weak, and even without Lopez, Brooklyn still has arguably the best roster if everyone else is healthy and contributing.
Jason Kidd has a few options when it comes to his new starting lineup. Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Kevin Garnett are locks, but Kidd can then fill out the lineup in some creative ways, and one way he looks committed to is leaning on the Bosnian sensation.

Nets not likely to make move to replace Lopez
By Brian Erni | Dec 22, 2013 | 9:36AM
The Nets are unlikely to make a move in the wake of the Brook Lopez injury.
David Alridge tweeted Saturday that the Nets are looking to internal options to soften the blow of losing Lopez for the season, and Sunday, NetsDaily reported similar findings, citing league sources:
[sny-box]The Nets front office isn't shutting off its cell phones, but league sources suggest this isn't the same situation the Nets faced when Lopez broke his foot in 2011 and the Nets quickly traded for?Mehmet Okur.? At that point, the Nets back-up bigs were?Johan Petro,Shelden Williams?and rookie?Jordan Williams, all of whom are now out of the league, as is Okur.[/sny-box]

Kevin Garnett is out tonight, Joe Johnson is a game time decision
By Brian Erni | Dec 20, 2013 | 11:03AM
Kevin Garnett will not play tonight against the Sixers.?Jason Kidd will give Garnett a rest.
Joe Johnson is a game time decision due to personal reasons.
Just as Kidd held out Brook Lopez on Monday against a weaker Sixers team (and was rewarded with a blow out win), Kidd will take a similar approach with Garnett. With a four game week on the horizon, which includes two match ups with the Pacers, this seems like a good idea. Expect Mirza Teletovic to get the start at the four.

Does Paul Pierce need more minutes? Doc Rivers says yes
By Brian Erni | Dec 10, 2013 | 12:31PM
At least one person thinks Paul Pierce needs to receive more minutes to find his groove: Pierce's former head coach and current Clippers head man Doc Rivers.
Rivers told Bleacher Report's Howard Beck that Pierce isn't done, and he thinks he'd actually benefit from?more?minutes in the Nets' rotations:
[sny-box]"[Paul] can score anywhere. I think he was more uncomfortable with the short minutes that they were [playing him], like they did with Kevin. And that?s not Paul. Paul?doesn?t work under those type of minutes?at least, in my opinion he doesn?t. He?s a guy that needs a rhythm to play. In Kevin?s case, on a 20-minute restriction, of course his numbers are going to be down. So I think at some point, he probably is going to have to play more minutes to improve, so he can get a better rhythm himself."[/sny-box]

Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett all out for tonight's game
By Jon Presser | Nov 16, 2013 | 5:47PM
It appears the media email sent to fans this morning about the status of Brook Lopez and Deron Williams was indeed correct, and the hits just keep coming.
The Nets have now officially confirmed that Lopez and Williams will sit out tonight's game with respective ankle injuries, and Paul Pierce is also out for tonight's game with a sore groin that he apparently injured in the second half of last night's game.
As if that weren't a big enough blow, the Nets also announced that Kevin Garnett will sit out tonight's game with an ankle injury of his own, suffered after he collided with Lopez late in the fourth quarter after Lopez had fallen down injured.

What to expect: The Nets' front court
By Jon Presser | Oct 30, 2013 | 10:01AM
In recent years, the Nets have had a bit of a revolving door at the small forward and power forward spots. They've typically had a strong back court, but often times lacked a front court that was a sufficient compliment. Brook Lopez emerged as an All-Star last season as the Nets got back to the NBA postseason, but the two forward spots were still obvious weak spots that needed to be addressed this offseason. And addressed they were.
A lot of times, filling a need works better in theory than in reality, but for Brooklyn, the reality of filling those holes in the front court manifested in a way few could have dreamed of. Out go Gerard Wallace and Kris Humphries, in come future Hall of Famers Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Suddenly, the Nets' front court is as good on paper as it's been in a long time, and it goes far beyond the two Boston imports.
The trio of Lopez, Garnett and Pierce will get the majority of the attention, and with a combined 26 All-Star selections, that's no surprise. But the big men coming off the bench are no joke either, as Jim Mancari discussed earlier. Andray Blatche is coming off an outstanding first season in Brooklyn, and he may see a lot more minutes this year as part of a "Twin Towers" package alongside Brook Lopez. The two 7-footers have been a dynamic duo when they've played together, and that hasn't gone unnoticed by the coaching staff.

An annual summer series, ESPN released its summer forecast yesterday, projecting where each team would finish in the 2013-14 season.
The top five in the East, according to ESPN, goes as follows: the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks.
It's the same teams that finished in top five a season ago, except teams 2-5 are scrambled up. In 2012, the Knicks finished second in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Pacers, Nets and Chicago.

Iman Shumpert on Eastern Conference: 'The Knicks are worried about the Knicks'
By Sam Spiegelman | Aug 7, 2013 | 8:00AM
In an interview with HoopsWorld.com at the 2013 adidas Nations camp, New York Knicks guard/forward Iman Shumpert discussed an array of topics, ranging from his expectations entering his third year, the team's second-round exit in the playoffs and the hype surrounding the rest of the Eastern Conference.
Coach Mike Woodson wants to see Shumpert improve his offensive game this summer, and that's precisely what the third-year swingman is doing.
Though he left the Knicks Summer League early, Shumpert has made a habit of working on his shooting this offseason. Shumpert is also keeping in shape so he can be an asset on both offense and defense.

Carmelo Anthony praises Knicks offseason, can't commit long-term
By Sam Spiegelman | Jul 31, 2013 | 10:40AM
The addition of Andrea Bargnani and Metta World Peace has New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony excited about the upcoming season, but not enough that he can commit to the team long-term.
Anthony, 29, can opt out of his contract following the 2013-14 season. He has been rumored to be a target of the Los Angeles Lakers, where the franchise will look to rebuild and reemerge after the loss of Dwight Howard.
When asked whether the Knicks? offseason transactions have affected his decision to stay with the Knicks beyond next season, Anthony said he could not comment.

For Nets Fans, Celtics Trade Is a Dream Come True
By Jim Mancari | Jul 19, 2013 | 11:04AM
Let?s rewind a few weeks to NBA Draft night.
I was anxiously awaiting the Brooklyn Nets? pick at No. 22 and hoped they would select a big man to provide depth on the bench, which they did in Mason Plumlee.
The team had a solid core that had just won 49 games, and now just needed a few more pieces to the puzzle to improve on what was ultimately a successful first year in the borough of Kings.

Depth Will Still Be a Strength for #Nets, and They?ll Need It
By Jim Mancari | Jul 15, 2013 | 5:30PM
So the Brooklyn Nets acquired two Hall of Famers to team up with three superstars to form easily one of the best ? if not the best ? starting five in the NBA.
The blockbuster trade sending Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets from the Boston Celtics is official, meaning the Nets starting lineup will feature a combined 35 All-Star appearances and be worth $82 million.
Last season, one of the Nets? strengths was the team?s depth. The team received significant contributions from the ?Bench Mob? including Andray Blatche, C.J. Watson, Keith Bogans and at times Jerry Stackhouse.

Rapid Recap: #Nets 101, #Celtics 93
By Jim Mancari | Apr 10, 2013 | 10:37PM
On Wednesday night, the Nets defeated the Boston Celtics by a final score of 101-93.
The Skinny: The Celtics raced out to the early lead, relying on hot three-point shooting to open an eight-point lead. But Joe Johnson found his outside stroke, and the Nets responded with a 13-2 run, capped off by back-to-back three-pointers by C.J. Watson. Brooklyn led by one after one.
Deron Williams took control offensively to open the second quarter, helping to increase the Nets? lead to six. Boston?s second unit immediately fought back to regain the lead, but from there the Nets went on a 15-4 run to lead by 10 at the break. D-Will scored 11 points in the quarter, and things began to get chippy as Kevin Garnett picked up a technical foul for a skirmish with Reggie Evans.

Trade To Brooklyn Was Harder For Pierce Than He Initially Thought
Filed Under:Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Garnett, NBA, Paul Pierce, Sports News, Washington Wizards

BOSTON (CBS) — Paul Pierce knew it would be tough leaving Boston after spending the first 15 years of his career in Celtics' green.
But it turns out, the move was a lot tougher than the former Finals MVP could have imagined.
"I thought after a few weeks I would be all right. Then all those feelings resurfaced when I went back to play there, then they come back again when I went back to play again. It was tough to even play in that building," Pierce said in an interview with SI.com. "Every time you thought you put it behind you, it kept resurfacing. It was hard."
Pierce was not alone in the move, as he was traded along with Kevin Garnett (and Jason Terry) to Brooklyn last summer for a slew of draft picks and role players that would fill out the rebuilding Celtics' roster. Pierce had a lot of second thoughts about the move, especially when Brooklyn got off to a rough start to last season.
"It was a roller coaster, definitely. A lot of emotion went into it. Going through what we went through last year, I had a lot of thoughts like, 'Shoot, I could have just stayed in Boston.' [The Celtics] were going through some of the same things we were going through in Brooklyn," he said. "The key was to stay positive. Times change, you have to move on, and that is what I eventually did."
The Nets did make a playoff run last season, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals where they lost to the Miami Heat. Pierce moved on once again this summer, signing a two-year deal with the Washington Wizards. He said he nearly joined former Celtics head coach Doc Rivers in Los Angeles with the Clippers, but waited to see if Brooklyn wanted to keep him around and let him and KG have another run. That did not happen though, and because Pierce waited, he missed his chance to head to Los Angeles.
The former C's captain is happy to be a member of the Wizards now, but as he's said numerous times in the past, he would love to finish his career where it all started back in 1998.
"Definitely. Maybe as a player, maybe as a coach, maybe upstairs [in the front office]," he said. "I follow what they are doing. I went back to Boston twice this summer, went to their practice facility. I keep up with them."

Police have taken to social media to explain why their helicopter was in the air over Newton Abbot in the early hours of the morning. Their response comes after a handful of people in the town took to Facebook to complain about the noise.
One Facebooker wrote: "What's going on at 3AM this morning!!!? Bloody police helicopter disturbing the peace again." The poster then helpfully added a little yellow helicopter emoji.
Police were quick to respond, explaining that the Exeter-based helicopter was on a vital mission.
They used their own Facebook profile to write: "We are aware of a few online complaints about the helicopter waking people up in Newton Abbot last night.
"The aircraft is expensive to use and maintain, we don't take the decision to use it lightly. Last night it was being used to help us find a missing person who was in crisis, we had serious concerns for their welfare.
"The helicopter was used as part of a search effort which ran to nearly six hours and included local officers and dog units. Fortunately the person we were looking for was found safe and well thanks to the dedication of those involved.
"We know it's noisy, we know it's the middle of the night, but if it's in the air, its because it needs to be. We are grateful for your support and understanding."

Doug Fister skin cancer scare highlights risks of exposure to sun
(AP Photo) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/sporting_news/59/7c/doug-fister-082314-ap-ftrjpg_1qoa8i6kx8s1j1ia3h2amo99vg.jpg?t=83767240&w=500&quality=80
WASHINGTON - A day after Nationals pitcher Doug Fister said he recently had surgery to remove skin cancer from his neck, Nationals manager Matt Williams says players and coaches are very aware they're at risk for the disease.
"It's a big issue because you're forced to be in the sun, a lot," Williams said Saturday.
"I know (Nationals third base coach) Bobby Henley's had similar mini-surgery ... where they take it out, and so he wears a lot of sunscreen. We put it on every day when we're out there in the daylight hours, making sure we're protected as much as possible," he said.
Fister pitched six innings Friday night in a 10-3 loss to San Francisco, ending Washington's 10-game winning streak.
Asked about what appeared to be a cut on his neck, Fister said: "I had some skin cancer removed a couple of days ago, and it had no effect tonight."
Fister said he was now OK.
"He's known about this for some time and the doctors took care of it," Williams said. "It's a fairly common occurrence. Because it's on his neck and he's on television, people notice. From all indications, everything was taken care of. He'll certainly have further tests and all that, and make sure everything's good, but he had a fine start (Friday night)."
Williams said there was no thought given to Fister skipping his turn.
"No, the doctors said there's no issues, they went in and did what they had to do," Williams said. "He can certainly pitch with it. It didn't bother him, going out there. He didn't feel it or notice it within that start."

Grassley presses Trump to maintain RFS obligation
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota last week led 23 senators in a bipartisan letter urging President Donald Trump to maintain the point of obligation under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and reject proposed changes that would upend the current successful system.
Requests from oil refiners seeking to push the point of obligation downstream to ethanol blenders or retailers have roiled grain and oil markets in recent weeks after rumors leaked that the White House was considering the changes.
"We believe such changes are unwarranted and indefensible," the senators wrote to Trump. "We strongly urge you to steer clear of administrative changes to the policy that would undermine the program and run contrary to your goals of promoting domestic energy independence and more choices at the pump."
The senators outlined the detrimental effects of changing the point of obligation from refiners to blenders, marketers or retailers, as one prominent refiner is suggesting. Shifting the point of obligation would give refiners little incentive to produce necessary fuel blends, making it difficult for downstream entities to comply, they said.
Changing the point of obligation also would "result in a massive, costly, time-consuming shift in compliance" because small businesses, especially in rural areas, lack the resources needed to comply, the letter said. The program administration would become complicated and "unnecessarily result in significant uncertainty and market disruptions," the senators wrote.
Such a change is widely opposed by fuel marketers, retailers, truck stop operators, petroleum producers and renewable fuel producers because of the added complexity and the undermining of investments that businesses have made to comply, the senators wrote.
"The overwhelming majority of transportation fuel market participants oppose any change to the point of obligation because it would cause massive disruptions and could lead to higher prices for consumers," the letter states.

THE Scotish Queen's celebrated letter of the 8th of November 1582, made some impression on the court of Elizabeth, as a representation of grievances. And, what was deemed an answer was sent to her, in the beginning of the year 1583. But, the chief complaint, Why do you detain me, in prison? was not answered, and could not be satisfactorily answered.
The long conversations of Beal, with the Queen of Scots, ended in a treaty with her, on the loose intimations, which were then thrown out. The Queen complained, that Beal took, absolutely, what she had said, conditionally. Mildmay was now joined to Shrewsbury, as negotiators with the Scotish Queen; Beal being conjoined, to give them advice, and assistance. The month of May 1583, saw this treaty begin, and end like all former ones. Elizabeth thought fit, to suspend the treaty, till she sent an envoy to King James, to explain the matter to him. The Scotish Queen objected to this separate communication; and upon the advice of Mildmay the Queen was also allowed to send a minister to Scotland. But, the whole ended in delusion; as nothing was, seriously, intended, from the beginning, but poisonous amusement to the Scotish Queen. This fresh disappointment threw the unhappy Queen into a new fit of despondency, which lasted, during the later part of 1583. Her letters, during this period, were generally intercepted. The French court were, at length restrained, from interesting themselves, on her behalf, for fear of prejudice to her person. At this period, Elizabeth entertained a strong desire, which she did not effect, of removing the great object of her solicitude to Milborn castle. Had the Queen of England removed Mary, from her kingdom, Elizabeth had saved the Scotish Queen much misery, and her own fame, from eternal disgrace: But, Elizabeth appears to have retained Mary, in prison, for no other object, than the daily pleasure of tormenting a hated rival.
While Scotland was disturbed, by various factions, and a weak government, England was equally disturbed, by the absurd endeavours of Throkmorton, to serve the Scotish Queen. He was suspected, by means of a letter, which he wrote to that Queen; and which was easily intercepted. Throkmorton was scarcely committed to the Tower, when Lord Paget, and Charles Arundel, fled, privately, to France; as at home, they could hope for no safety. They vented their discontents, in this manner: That Elizabeth, without any fault of theirs, was alienated from them, by the subtile artifices of Leicester, and Walsingham; that they were unworthily disgraced: that strange tricks were invented, and practised, and secret snares laid for them; so that they were thereby involved in treason, before they were aware. Whatever there may be, in those complaints, we, certainly, know, that a severe act of Parliament had been recently passed against the Roman Catholicks, which was severely executed; and we, moreover, know, that persecution will create resistance, and the spirit of resistance will beget privy conspiracy, and rebellion.
Let us now hear the fact from Camden: "Verily," says he, "there were, at this time, some subtile ways taken, to try how men stood affected. Counterfeit letters were, privily, sent, in the name of the Queen of Scots, and the fugitives, and left, in papists' houses: Spies were sent up, and down, the country, to take notice of people's discourse: Reporters of vain and idle stories were admitted, and credited. Hereupon, many were brought into suspicion; and amongst the rest Henry, Earl of Arundel, was confined, to his own house, and his wife committed to custody. William Howard, the earl's brother, and Henry Howard, their uncle, the late Duke of Norfolk's brother, were several times examined, about letters from the Queen of Scots, and from Charles Paget, and one Mope; whose prudence, and innocence, could hardly protect them." Elizabeth demanded the English fugitives to be removed from France: But, the King refused; as Elizabeth had received French refugees, and Scotish traitors: Elizabeth ordered Mendoza, the Spanish ambassador, to retire from England: And the King of Spain would not see Waad, her envoy. Lord Henry Howard was, on the 11th of December 1583, examined by Lord Hunsden, concerning some intelligence, which he was suspected to have had with the Queen of Scots. The Scotish Queen's correspondence, meantime, both with Scotland, and France, was continually, intercepted; as we know, from the documents, in the Cotton Library.
Such was the state of England, and the affairs of Mary, at the end of 1583. The subsequent year opened with an application of the Scotish Queen to Elizabeth; complaining of not having received answers to her letters; and soliciting a better treatment. The Scotish Queen soon after wrote to Burghley; requesting his intercession with Elizabeth, on her behalf. Yet, Mary's wardens continued to intercept letters, and couriers, which were addressed to the captive Queen.
Under such circumstances, Elizabeth had recourse to an old artifice, with regard to the Scotish Queen, by proposing a fresh treaty with regard to the Scotish Queen, by proposing a fresh treaty with the imprisoned Queen: But, fears, and jealousies, says Camden, broke off the treaty; and he might have added, that fears and jealousies, had broken off all such treaties before, which were only proposed, by dissimulation, for the purpose of deceit.
At length, Elizabeth resolved to gratify Shrewsbury, by relieving him from the custody of the Queen of Scots; appointing as her wardens, Sir Ralph Sadler, and Sir Henry Nevil. Shrewsbury was now happy; but, Sadler, at his time of life, felt that a burden had been imposed on him, which his health, and spirits could not bear.
It is easy to perceive, that Elizabeth's government, at home, and abroad, by artifices, and deception, would raise up against her many enemies, to say nothing of those, who, in pitying the hard fate of the Scotish Queen, detested the oppression of a guilty government. From all those causes, danger was supposed to be at hand. And Leicester, to retain his influence, with his Queen, took the lead, in proposing an universal association, "by mutual vows, subscriptions, and seals," to prosecute to death, as far as their power extended, all those, who should attempt any thing against the Queen's Majesty.
The Scotish Queen was too clear sighted, not to perceive, that her destruction was aimed at, by that association; and being worn out with misery, and fearing severer treatment, she sent Naue, her secretary, to Elizabeth, with an offer to join the association; to enter into a treaty of amity, on her own terms; and to give the French King, and the princes of the house of Lorraine, for the faithful performance of her covenants.
Such were the offers, which were reported to Elizabeth, by Waad, who accompanied Mons. Maron to Mary, who came to settle her claims, in France. Shrewsbury, and Beal, were, in consequence, appointed, in May 1584, to enter into treaty with the Scotish Queen. But, if we may believe these negotiators, the captive Queen was now either unable, or unwilling, to enter into treaty, on the terms, which she had offered to Waad. Elizabeth, who had broken off so many treaties, on very slight pretences, was now indignant, that the Queen of Scots should have seen cause to decline what she had formerly offered. And Burghley was employed to write considerations, concerning the various matters, arising out of the Scotish Queen's offers to Shrewsbury, and Beal, while Elizabeth was carrying on her usual intrigues, at Edinburgh.
These negotiations, and intrigues, led on to the demission of Shrewsbury, and the appointment of Sadler, as the warden of Mary, with Somer for his assistant, in August 1584. Sir Ralph, though appointed, for a particular emergency, continued, in his uneasy charge, for eight months, from August 1584 to April 1585: But, he was so disgusted, by Elizabeth's penury, and so harassed, by her jealousy, that, losing all patience, he besought Burghley, and Walsingham, in the bowels of Jesus Christ, to relieve him; as he would rather be a prisoner for life, in the Tower, than continue, in so disgustful a service. He arrived at Sheffield, on the 25th of August; and Shrewsbury informed him, that in pursuance of Elizabeth's orders, he had resolved to remove the Scotish Queen, from Sheffield to Wingfield, on the 27th of the same month. She was accordingly removed, on the 2d of September, after a long sojourn at Sheffield, though Sadler would have rather retained the captive Queen with sixty soldiers, at Sheffield, than three hundred, at Wingfield; on account of the strength of the former place, and the openness of the latter. The Scotish Queen was not much pleased, that she had been removed, without some notification, from Elizabeth herself: She was now safely lodged, and guarded, "by forty stout soldiers;" with the aid of eighty persons of Shrewsbury's household. On the road, the Queen asked Somer, if he thought she would escape if she could. Somer said, he thought she would: as it was natural to seek liberty, when confined: No: said she, you are deceived; I would rather die, in this captivity, with honour, than run away, with shame. Somer replied, he should be sorry to see her put to the trial. The Queen then said, it was her wish, if Elizabeth would give her liberty, to go to Scotland, to see her son, and give him good advice, but she never would reside, permanently, there, where she had been so ill treated; but, would go, and end her days, in France, and never trouble herself with politics, or marriage.
The captive Queen was now very anxious to be permitted to send a special messenger to her majesty, with new propositions: But, Elizabeth would not receive Naue, the Queen's secretary, as she desired nothing so much, as a reconciliation; and to effect it, offered herself as a mediator between her son, and the Scotish noblemen, with whom he was at variance: And she solemnly denied the least knowledge, or connection, with [William] Crichton, the jesuit, who had recently been apprehended.
Walsingham, however, avowed to Sadler, that he could not draw Elizabeth to any resolution, on the Scotish Queen's request of sending her secretary, Naue, to court; adding withal, Somer knoweth that, "we, [Elizabeth] are long, in our resolution here, especially, in matters subject to jealousy, which humour doth daily increase," [on Elizabeth.] Shrewsbury was graciously received, by Elizabeth, who was very desirous to compound the controversies between him, and his wife, a matter, that was not performed very easily. Shrewsbury daily made suit, to be discharged of the custody of the Queen of Scots, Walsingham soon after informed Sadler, that Elizabeth deferred her resolution, abut allowing the Scotish Queen, to send up Naue; but desired him to entertain the captive Queen with hopes, of her desire being granted. Elizabeth designed, on the 8th of October, to have a full consultation of her council, about the course to be held with Queen Mary; as Shrewsbury earnestly pressed Elizabeth for his discharge.
Walsingham, moreover, intimated to Sadler, that Elizabeth seeing, by intercepted letters, that the Queen of Scots was very anxious to understand her majesty's resolution, in respect to the change of her warden, the secretary directed Sadler to hold a vigilant eye over his charge. Sadler was also required to send up Loggin, one of Shrewsbury's men, to be examined; and to pump one Hawkesworth, a gentleman, living near Sheffield, who was much disliked, by the Scotish Queen. Baldwin, Shrewsbury's agent, was arrested; as he held a secret intelligence with the captive Queen: And Elizabeth desired Sadler to have a watchful eye over Queen Mary: And that the servants, who attend him, should be furnished with daggers, and petronels [firearms].
Sadler, on the 8th of October, answered Walsingham's directions. He had drawn, from the Queen, his charge, her feelings, as to the change of her keeper; she weighed not the change, so as she be well used, and her person in safety, whereof she had some cause of mistrust, in former times. He intimated the improbability of her attempting to escape; considering the extraordinary precautions, and her tenderness of body, subject to a vehement rheum, upon any cold, which caused a plentiful distillation, from above, down to her left foot, which is much pained, and sometimes a little swollen. He explained the strength of the place, and the extraordinary pains taken, to prevent any possibility of escape. He gave a detail of the gentlemen living around the castle, and were ready to assist. Besides the establishment of the castle, Sadler had with him forty-three men of his own servants, every one armed with sword, and dagger, some with pistols, and some with long shot. Sadler recommended entering into a treaty, and ending the matter, with the Queen of Scots, by an honourable composition. Sadler thought that a trial ought to be made of an amicable arrangement; as she earnestly protests, that it is her sincere wish, to serve her Majesty, if permitted. The Queen amidst her other grievances complained to the ministers of France, that she had been wronged in her dowry.
After all those recommendations of liberality, and reconcilement, Elizabeth summoned a Parliament, which was chiefly intended, to disable such as pretended a title to the crown, and endeavoured to disturb her possession. Walsingham, while he gave this information to Sadler, delivered it, as his decided opinion, for listening to the offers of the Scotish Queen, and making a treaty with her: The impediment arose chiefly through a jealous conceit, that either of the two princesses hath of the other, which, I see, he adds, will hardly be removed.
Meantime were entered unto associations, for the preservation of Elizabeth's person; and one of these was ordered, by the Queen's Majesty, to be shown to the Scotish Queen, with directions, to watch her countenance, and speech: But, without any change of either, she offered to sign it, though we learn not that her signature was much coveted.
The Scotish Queen, about the same time, was involved, in the saddest spirits, by a woman of very ill conditions. Sadler wrote to Walsingham: Queen Mary is marvellously grieved, with the Countess of Shrewsbury, for the foul slanders of late raised upon her, by the said countess: and the Queen trusts, that Elizabeth will suffer her, to have justice; and that the countess may be forced, either to prove, or deny what she hath said, and done: She can charge the said countess, with many other things. But, as the countess had long been the spy of Elizabeth, there is reason to believe, that the Queen's Majesty liked the slander too well, to punish, with severity, the noble tale bearer.
Elizabeth, however, at length, resolved to allow Mary, to send up to court Naue, her secretary: But, Sadler, was directed, what shows her extreme jealousy, "to send some trusty person with Naue, to watch, and oversee him, and prevent him from speaking to any person:" and he was desired to deal with Curle, and Mary, about the letter written, by Curle, under the name of Welbeck, to Baldwin. Walsingham moved Elizabeth, in vain, to relieve the aged Sadler, from this invidious task, according to her promise: But, he intimated, as her excuse, Elizabeth's want of resolution. Were we to enumerate the Queen's Majesty's wants, she would appear, we may suspect, to have few possessions of a moral nature, to boast of, as her virtuous qualities.
As early as the 3d of November 1584, it was, finally, resolved by Elizabeth's government, to remove Mary to Tutbury: And Cave, one of the Cofferer's clerks, was sent, with 500l. in his pocket, to make provision, at Tutbury castle, for Mary's reception. But, to make a dilapidated castle fit, for the reception of a Queen, was not an easy task, with three times 500l. Lord St. John, the proposed warden, in the room of the impatient Sadler, hesitated, and delayed, for some weeks; and even at the beginning of the subsequent year, declined to accept such a charge.
Meantime appeared at the court of London, as envoy from James, the notorious master of Gray, a young man of slight, and profligate qualities. There is a letter, from him to the Queen of Scots; wherein he resents his being injured by her, if a letter shown to her son, were hers: He yet advises her how to proceed with Elizabeth, and relates what advice he had given to the King, his master. On this subject, the Queen opened herself to Sadler. She said this young gentleman was a creature of the Archbishop of Glasgow's, and has been educated among the Jesuits, who seek to serve their turn, by him, about her son. She professed, that she had her son bound to her devotion, by his own writing, as Naue would shew the Queen's Majesty: She asserted, that her son had oft sent to her for money, to buy clothes, for himself, and apparel, for his pages, and lackeys, which she caused to be furnished, from her revenues out of France, when she could ill spare it: He obtained lately 6000 crowns from the Duke of Guise, whereof she thinks this gentleman has had the greater part, to set him forth in so good a show; She added, it was by her means, that he was sent upon this embassy, upon his earnest promises, by his letters, to treat, and deal for her, if she would procure her son to employ him, and to endeavour to speak to her first on his journey: but, now he takes another course, and seems to deal, for her son, without her.
At the end of November 1584, Elizabeth's ministers were chiefly occupied with the negotiation of Naue, and the Scottish ambassador. Naue desired that his mistress might not be removed till his return; and Elizabeth assented to this: But the principal difficulty was to obtain, at Wingfield, provisions, and other necessaries, at Elizabeth's expense. And these additional charges, Walsingham supposed would greatly hasten the treaty; so penurious had Elizabeth become. Naue had much private negotiation with the Queen's Majesty, concerning Lady Shrewsbury. On the 25th of November, he had conference with some of the council, to whom he made three requests; that the treaty might go forward with his mistress; that she might not be removed till the treaty were finished, at least till his return; that Lady Shrewsbury, and her two sons might openly confess before the French ambassador, himself, and some of the council, the untruth of those imputations, that had been cast upon his mistress, which touch her life, and honour. Yet, little, or nothing was effected, by his endeavours; as this negotiation, like all the former ones, was, prematurely, closed, by Elizabeth's jealousies.
The failure of this treaty for her liberation almost broke the heart of Mary. But, when she heard, that there was to be a great change, both, in the place of her residence, and the person of her warden, she was thrown into despair. Sadler, after stating his own age, and infirmities, and inabilities, to Elizabeth, submitted somewhat regarding the Queen of Scots: I find her, said he, much altered from what she was, when I was first acquainted with her. This restraint of liberty, with the grief of mind, which she hath had, by the same, hath wrought some good effect in her temperament. She is not yet able, to strain her left foot to the ground, and to her very great grief, not without tears, findeth that being wasted, and shrunk of its natural measure, and shorter, than the other, she feareth, that it will hardly return to its natural state, without the benefit of hot baths.
Sadler, and the Queen, his charge, seem to have been driven, from Wingfield, at the beginning of 1585, by the want of provisions, and other necessaries. Burghley communicated to Sadler Elizabeth's wishes, that Mary were removed to Tutbury, and to have both the numbers of her of her attendants, and their charges, diminished. The Scotish Queen sent her answer to certain points, which had not been cleared, by Naue, at his coming from court. She now consented to be removed to Tutbury, though she was yet lame, and unable to walk alone. Sadler appointed the 13th of January to leave Wingfield, and to be, at Tutbury, on the morrow; the ways being so foul, and deep, and she so lame, though in good health of body, that they could not go through, in a day; "myself, also," said Sadler, "being more unable than she is, to travel, as I have not been well, this month, and more." Upon Thursday, the 14th, the came to Tutbury, with the Scotish Queen, all well.
In cold weather, said Sadler, we found a cold house, very badly furnished: They wanted tapestry, curtains, beds, blankets, sheets, and other furniture. The Queen's people complained, and Sadler endeavoured to quiet them, and promised to get supplies: But, he added, "fair words, and promises, will not keep folk warm long. Queen Mary," said he, "is now in a very good state for health, and began to go about her chamber, with some help, her foot being yet swoln, and weak." She earnestly desired to know, if Elizabeth liked, and accepted of her consent, to join in the English association; and whether the letter to her son, which she had transmitted, for the Queen's majesty's perusal, had been sent to him.
