Cover Story, Mar 02- Mar 08 2019
WHY IT'S VITAL TO KEEP SICK CM ALIVE!
By Rajan Narayan	 March 2, 2019 Leave a comment
DETERMINATION: Manohar Parrikar's mind is still strong as shown by his insistence on inaugurating the Atal Setu Bridge over the Mandovi river which is his baby
It is not for love or respect for Parrikar but because of vested interests that Manohar Parrikar is being kept alive. The State government wants him alive because they know without him the government will collapse. Narendra Modi knows that if he removes Manohar Parrikar he may be exposed on bribes he took in the Rafale aircraft scam
Manohar Parrikar who has been suffering from pancreatic cancer for over a year was admitted to the Goa Medical College Hospital on the night of Saturday, February 23. After some minor discomfort (bleeding according to informed sources) he was shifted to the GMC on the excuse that the ventilator at home was not working. It is entirely possible that there was a power cut, as happens in all parts of Goa, as somebody might have damaged the power cables to his residence-hospital.
Obviously the problem was quite serious because on Sunday morning a team of doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) led by Promod Garg, Prof. of Gastroenterology and associate dean under whom Parrikar had taken treatment in the AIIMS earlier, rushed to Goa. According to Health Minister Vishwajit Rane, Dr Garg has changed some medicines and the chief minister is now stable.
In probably what is a paid ad in the Times of India asking people not to heed rumours about the Chief Minister's health, a health line has been presented. It was on Valentine's Day last year, February 14, 2018, that Manohar Parrikar complained of a stomach infection and was admitted to the GMC. It was found to be much more serious than just a stomach infection and he was shifted to Lilavati Hospital for treatment under Dr Jagannath, who is a specialist in pancreatic cancer. It was in Lilavati that it was diagnosed that Manohar Parrikar was suffering from cancer of the pancreas, which is in most cases fatal, particularly if it is identified at a very late stage as in the case of Parrikar. Parrikar spent a week in the Lilavati hospital. In his bravado he returned to Goa on February 22 to be present at the Assembly to present, or rather go through the motions of presenting, the budget, but for barely two minutes.
On March 8, 2018 Manohar Parrikar was taken to the Sloan Kettering cancer hospital in New York in the United States by a special aircraft for treatment. He spent almost three months in the Sloan Kettering — March 8 to June 14. Parrikar returned to New York's Sloan Kettering for further checkups which was widely understood as further doses of chemotherapy. There are also rumours that some new experimental drug was tried on him. Obviously the experimental treatment had an adverse effect on him. Parrikar who had returned from Sloan Kettering on June 14, 2018 had to be rushed back to US on August 9, 2018. Every time his visits to the US were called checkups. Surely you do not need to go three times to the United States just for checkups!
INTERRUPTED: Parrikar could not pay his full respects to Lord Ganesh during Chaturthi because he developed complications and had to be rushed to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
In any case Parrikar who went to the US on August 9 came back to Goa on August 22, 2018. The very next day he developed complications and was admitted for a "health review checkup". Why he should be admitted to Lilavati for a health review when he just returned from the best hospitals in the world, Sloan Kettering in New York, only the Chief Minister's Office can explain. After spending a week at Lilavati (August 23 to August 30, 2018) Manohar Parrikar was taken back to the US for treatment.
He returned to Goa on September 6, 2018. When he had gone to Parra to participate in the Ganesh festivities he allegedly started bleeding. He was rushed to his relative's hospital in Candolim. The hospital belongs to relatives of his late wife and is called Dr Dukle's Hospital & Research Centre. Dukle's, which is basically a maternity home, could not do much for the pancreatic patient.
The next day September 15, 2018 Manohar Parrikar was airlifted to Delhi where he spend a month in AIIMS. Parrikar returned to Goa on October 14 but did not go to his bungalow, but to rented accommodation which had been converted into an ICU. A senior cardiac surgeon from the Cardiology Department of the GMC was also posted to his ICU at home on a 24-hour basis.
Though Parrikar was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on February 15, 2018 it was seven months later that Health Minister Vishwajit Rane revealed that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer and spending peaceful time with his family.
By that time Parrikar could not eat normally and had to be fed through a food pipe passed through his nose. Despite his extreme pain and discomfort Parrikar could not stop worrying about whether his pet project, the third Mandovi bridge, would be completed in time. On January 1, 2019 Parrikar visited his office in the Secretariat. On January 27, 2019, he inaugurated the Atal Setu — the name given to the new Mandovi bridge — in the company of Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari.
On January 30, 2019 Manohar even presented the first ever digital budget in the country. He was obviously so exhausted that he had to be rushed to AIIMS again on January 31, 2019, the day after he presented the budget. He returned to Goa on February 15, 2019. Unfortunately he did not celebrate Valentine's Day as his condition worsened. On February 23, he was admitted to the GMC for upper GI endoscopy. This is a procedure which I have undergone dozens of times, whereby a flexible tool is pass through the mouth to check the state of internal organs like the liver, pancreas, gall bladder, etc, which cannot be seen through an ultrasound.
Ironically, Health Minister Rane who knows nothing about health except making money, denies an endoscopy was performed. Indeed Rane has dismissed Pradeep Naik who was dean until recently, and appointed Shivanand Bandekar, who was previously suspended for corruption as Head of the Orthopaedic Department.
EXCEPTION: : Unlike other equally eminent Goans not all the power and the money of the state and center are used to save the life of people suffering from critical diseases
February 23, Parrikar was asked to be kept under observation for 24 hours. The team of doctors headed by Dr Garg arrived in Goa on Sunday, February 24. Reports from our sources in the GMC (which I consider my sasu mai as I have been admitted there scores of times) tell me his condition is very difficult. Reports say he is back home now but I do not know whether he will be taken to Lilavati or Sloan Kettering again. We don't know about Dr Garg, but Dr Harish Peshwe, who I have been treated by before, does not have the experience to treat serious cases. I fail to understand why the senior most gastrospecialist, who is treating a leading social activist in Dona Paula itself, Dr Philip Alvares, was not requested to attend to Parrikar. I hope there is no communal angle.
Why are the Central Government of Narendra Modi and the local BJP so desperate to keep Manohar Parrikar alive? I do not deny that his mind has probably not been affected. It might be razor sharp. But the stress of attending to the demands of his Cabinet colleagues can worsen his health situation. Is Parrikar adamantly sticking to his kodel, or is the BJP high command and low command very anxious to keep him alive and in power at any cost?
A rough estimate is that over 100 crores have been spent on his treatment so far. All paid for by the state government. Nobody is questioning the Chief Secretary and Health Minister Rane about the posting of senior cardiac surgeon and other senior doctors from the GMC on a 24-hour basis in Parrikar's private residence, depriving ordinary patients of their services. The truth is that it is not Parrikar who wants to continue to live with all his pain. Even if Parrikar, out of his love for Goa, wants to remain chief minister as long as he breathes, is it good for Goa to have a disabled chief minister? Why was the late Francis D'Souza dropped from the government? Why is Pandurang Madkaikar not retained as power minister? The bitter ground reality is that if Parrikar collapses the BJP government will also collapse. The BJP has only ten active members in the Legislative Assembly at the movement. If alliance partners MGP and GF decide to withdraw support, the BJP government will collapse. Sudin Dhavalikar has made it clear that the MGP is contesting all three by-elections — Shiroda, Mandrem and Mapusa — which indicates a split with the BJP. Vijay Sardesai is making funny remarks about not continuing as a minister in the BJP Cabinet. The rumour is that he is actively planning to extend the support of his six member group to Digambar Kamat to form a Congress government in the State. The Congress has 14 members in the 37 member Legislative Assembly which would give it a clear majority. Of course, even if that happens, Modi won't permit it, as he will declare President's Rule. Even if Parrikar was not vital to BJP rule in Goa, the Centre, meaning Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, may be equally keen on keeping Parrikar alive for other reasons. It is now widely believed that Parrikar has got a set of the controversial Rafale papers which expose Narendra Modi. On the eve of elections Narendra Modi cannot afford Parrikar turning against him. Parrikar knows that the government will pay for his medical requirements as long as he is chief minister and he has the Rafale papers. I understand from a good friend of Parrikar's that they are in the safe custody of a senior lawyer friend of Parrikar who is based in Delhi with instructions to release them to the media if anything happens to Parrikar. So that is why both Modi and the local BJP is so anxious to keep Parrikar alive. There is one last issue which worries me. There is a very senior social activist living in Margao who has played a very important role in the GBA and who is unwell. My friend did not go to Lilavati though he could afford it. He did not go to Sloan Kettering in New York though he could afford it. He relied on Dr Philip Alvares, attached to the Manipal Hospital, and has recorded an improvement in his position. This is due perhaps to the fact that it was diagnosed in the early stages and my friend is a very fit person. Why does a government not spend for him and people like him? I was beaten up in 1981 savagely with iron rods and cycle chains by the Rudolf gang on the direction of the than Speaker Dayanand Narvekar who without daya molested an 18-year-old girl in the Speakers chamber. I had to spend five years in hospitals. I believe that my present medical problems, acute GERD, suspected Cancer of the throat and severe spinal problems are a legacy of the beating. My employer Raul Fernandes of the Herald did not gave me a paisa. The GMC only worsened the situation by misdiagnosis by NGK Sharma, HOD, Medicine, who almost killed me with steroids. I spent over a crore on my treatment which took five years just to get rid of the steroids. All the money was paid by friends and well wishers. When I decided to visit England for treatment the Editors Guild appealed to the public for funds for my fare. And I am happy to say people whom I did not know personally contributed2 lakh. (If Parrikar makes such an appeal he won't get a paisa, but that is not the issue.)
Under the DDSSY scheme you can get treatment only up to 4 lakh. Which you seldom get, because hospitals do not accept the card except for surgery. So why shouldn't a cap be put on Parrikar's expenses, limited to4 lakh? Why should the Indian Air Force, which should be used for strikes against Pakistan, be used to transport Parrikar to New York and Delhi? Parrikar is not fit health-wise to continue as chief minister. Yet everyone wants to keep him alive for their own selfish purposes.
I doubt Parrikar in his better days would have allowed his son Abhijat to build an illegal eco-tourism resort. Or that he would have allowed Vijai Sardesai and Babush Monserrate to destroy Panjim and Taleigao. The very fact that ministers are doing what they want regardless of the long-term consequences means Parrikar has no energy left and he is not physically fit to be the chief minister of Goa.

Activist on Post-9/11 Torture Report: UK Has Ability to Bring People to Justice
© AP Photo / Vadim Ghirda
UK intelligence officers watched prisoners being tortured and were actively involved in the rendition of terrorist suspects in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, according to a report by the parliamentary intelligence and security committee (ISC). Kaleem Abu Taymiyyah, the spokesperson for CAGE* NGO, discussed the issue with Sputnik.
Sputnik: The reports published on Thursday amount to one of the most damning indictments of UK intelligence, revealing links to torture and rendition were much more widespread than previously reported… How significant is this report?
Kaleem Abu Taymiyyah: This is a hugely damning report. Even those who are on the inside of the game were shocked at the extent and depth of which the UK government has been involved. [The organization] CAGE has been calling for 12 years, saying that these actions have been going on. We have worked on many cases where torture have been outsourced to countries like Morocco and by the Americans where the British were clearly involved and complicit and everybody told us, including Jack Straw, that we were barking up the wrong tree that it was conspiracy theories. These were the exact words that Jack Straw used – 'this is a conspiracy theory' and now we find that he knew all along that the British were involved and it was actually much worse than we thought it was all along.

Sputnik: In this report the ISC have found a catalogue of instances where UK intelligence officers knew of – and even supplied questions to – interrogations that could be classed as 'torture'. In some cases money even changed hands to pay for renditions. These are crimes, where the individuals should be brought to justice – essentially will this report bring the guilty to justice?

'Release These Children': Trump Guilty of Torture Says United Nations
Kaleem Abu Taymiyyah: Unfortunately, due to the nature of exceptionalism that applies to countries in the West, as much as we call for and hang our hat on accountability, the chances of actually seeing anyone step into a courtroom on the basis of this report are beyond minimal, in my opinion. If you look to just a few years in the CIA torture report, the president of the US stood and said to the whole world, nonchalantly, we may have tortured some folk, but we are looking forwards not backwards. They took no one to court and took no action against anyone. Britain has an opportunity here to prove that the rule of law and standing against torture, not just slogans, not just words; they have the ability to bring some people to justice – possibly [former] Home Secretary, Jack Straw, who lied to the public and has constantly been involved in this process at a deep deep level. We'll see if this happens.

Sputnik: In January 2018, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to keep the prison camp open indefinitely, marking a continuation of aggressive US domestic policy and the western prison industrial complex that has been operating for decades. Essentially what do groups and individuals need to do to ensure these violations can no longer continue in the future?
Kaleem Abu Taymiyyah: At the moment it seems the position that we're in is one purely of watchdog and reporting on and speaking out about them and raising awareness. To be honest, keeping our head about when everybody said 'oh you're exaggerating it – it's not as bad as you say it is', well it was as bad as we said it was in Guantanamo Bay, it was as bad as we said it was in blacksite prisons. What we need to do is stop living in an imaginary day dream world where Britain and America can do no wrong and start living up to the slogans we like to live by where we say the rule law and the stance against justice matters. The international criminal court needs to take action and do more than just convict tin pot dictators in Africa and start stepping up to the obligations and the roles that they were created to do – which is ensuring any world leaders who were involved in criminal activities are held to account.
*CAGE advocates for due process, the rule of law and an end to the injustices of the War on Terror
The views and opinions expressed by Kaleem Abu Taymiyyah are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect Sputnik's position.

Award-winning author, Nancy Lee Badger, loves chocolate-chip shortbread, wool plaids wrapped around the trim waist of a Scottish Highlander, the clang of broadswords, and the sound of bagpipes in the air. After growing up in Huntington, New York, and raising two handsome sons in New Hampshire, she moved to North Carolina where she writes full-time. A former EMT, volunteer firefighter, and 911 Dispatcher, Nancy writes about kilted Highlanders, heart-broken dragons, and romantic thrillers and is a member of Romance Writers of America, Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, Fantasy-Futuristic & Paranormal Romance Writers, Triangle Area Freelancers, and the Celtic Heart Romance Writers.
Welcome, Nancy! Please tell us about your new release.
The idea to add pirates to My Hunted Highlander, the final book in my Scottish time travel series, came out of the blue. The blue being my love of the sea. I grew up within walking distance of beaches on the north shore of Long Island in New York and as older kids, we traveled in packs on weekends to Jones Beach or Fire Island. Visiting Scotland is on my bucket list, and the North Sea is at the top of the Scottish vistas I mean to enjoy.
My Hunted Highlander's plot can be described this way: Plucked naked from the North Sea, bruised and nearly drowned, Niall Sinclair wakes bound to the mast of the pirate ship, The Black Thistle. Hiding his identity, and brutalized by the first mate and other seamen, their captain comes to his aid. Her identity, and gender, are a surprise, and his physical reaction to her makes him nearly forget his need to escape, and return to his clan.
When kidnapped from her shipbuilding business in modern day Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the last place Blair MacIan figured to end up, was at the helm of a pirate ship in 1603 Scotland. With her abusive husband dead, and the ship, the crew, and their people under her care, the last thing she needed was to fish a naked man from the sea. His ravaged face and ragged sandy hair could not detract from his magnificence, and she sensed in him, a means for her own escape.
A woman pirate? Why not! Mixing a modern woman making the best of a horrid situation, and a scarred and lost Highlander, gave me plenty of opportunities to twist this story into a scary, upbeat, kilted, romantic romp. My research into pirates plying the North Sea off Scotland's eastern coast was spotty, but what little I found was enough to create a crew, a ship, and a plot.
This book follows My Lady Highlander and My Dark Highlander, and is the last time travel romance I will be writing (for a while), but not the last of books with a Scottish theme. I plan to volunteer at the 40th annual New Hampshire Highland Games and Festival this fall, something I share with my family. While surrounded by thousands of men dressed in Highland kilts, with dirks on their hips, and whisky on their breath, the next book will easily write itself!
Niall shoved his fingers through his hair, then accepted a short strip of thicker leather. He tied his hair into a short queue, then lowered his arms.
Blair stepped closer and positioned the wool over his left eye. It rested alongside the left side of his nose, running from his brow, to below his eye. The darkness and softness of the wool was not as pleasurable as the gentle touch of her fingertips, as she centered the cloth. The leather ties pulled across his forehead and above his left ear. She walked behind him and tied them at the back of his head.
"Nay." The strings were fine, but he lied about the tightness, elsewhere. Feeling like a green boy, alone for the first time with a tavern wench aiming to share her wares, he stifled a groan and waited.
"What?" she cried, as she tumbled onto her seat. The chair teetered backward, and as her arms flailed, he raced to her side. When the chair stopped bobbling, and the front legs slammed back onto the wood floor, she glared up at him.

Thank you, Nancy, for being our special guest today!
Last weekend was the hot air balloon festival in Quechee, Vermont which is always held on Father's Day weekend. I love this picture which my friend's husband took.
A balloon festival is highly dependent on the weather. Even though Friday and Saturday were beautiful summer days, it was too windy in the evenings so the balloons were only able to take off on Saturday morning. The downside to that is that they take off starting at 6 a.m. So I missed it.
Here's one of the pictures my husband took.
Despite what I'm saying about the guys, I do enjoy the festival. They also have light shows at night if the weather permits.
I just want to sleep. Undisturbed.
Do you ever feel like this? Like you need your beauty rest and no one is letting you get it?
But sometimes, even awesome writers like us get bitten by the self-doubt bug. It's nasty. And dark. And one of its insidious symptoms is usually writer's block.
Having just recovered from a recent severe bout of this awful affliction, I offer up some words of wisdom for writers, courtesy of these coffee mugs my long-suffering husband bought to cheer me up.
Sometimes hubby doesn't understand my temperamental muse at all. But when he does something insanely wonderful like this, I'm tempted to give him a lifetime pass!
How about you? Does your significant other support you in your writing efforts? Or is he/she completely clueless about how difficult the creative process can be? Tell me!
Summer is usually a great time to get away and have some fun, or at least get some rest. I've been lucky enough to have had some great vacations in the past. I've gotten to visit family and friends. I've enjoyed the big city and sandy beaches. I've gotten to see amazing landscapes and meet lovely people.
This year we plan to visit family in the northeast, which will be nice because we don't go there often. However, as I'm planning the trip, I find myself wishing for a different kind of vacation...a writing vacation.
My job, although better than it was before, still requires more time than I'm thrilled with, so I don't get to write as much. I have one major story I work on, but there are bits and pieces of others that are just hanging, and that bugs me.
Therefore, if this trip got canceled for some reason and my DH asked me where I want to go or what I want to do, I'm probably going to say "to my computer" and "to write." I would also add that the computer would be a charged laptop on the beach, like this one.
If he argues, I would tell him that sights--like this sunset--inspire me and that I need a little inspiration. Usually when I say that, I'm sucking up to get jewelry for my birthday or something. I think the sunset would be much cheaper. See how easy I make it for DH to agree with me? There's an art to it, I tell ya'.
For right now, I'm packing for our trip. I am taking my laptop along in case I do get the chance to act on any random inspiration or one of the fifteen story ideas banging around in my imagination. What about you? What's your dream vacation? Does it involve summer reading? Summer writing? Summer love? Please do share!
In my last blog, "Algae: A Pond Owner's Nighmare," I described how frustrated I was with my own koi pond. Well, I am happy to report that things are much better! After ordering new filter material, which I clean several times a day, and using the Koi clay, the only place I have algae growing is along the edge of the liner. Through trial and error, I found that if I sprinkled the clay directly on top of the algae, the next day there appears to be much less. Another bonus: my koi, which I've had over ten years, seem much happier, which makes me happy, too!
Have a safe and funfilled Summer!
On Saturday, I went with a friend to the Taste of Scotland Festival and the Scottish Tartan Museum in Franklin, NC. I had only been to this one other time several years ago. Franklin is a beautiful small town with lots of shops. We were glad to see that it was partly cloudy and not terribly hot.
Lots of musicians played on this stage.
Franklin is a beautiful small town in the mountains.

While I have no design skills whatsoever, I've been playing around with making Facebook teaser graphics. Since I don't have any cats or dogs at the moment, I needed something to post! This past week I was in need of a little inspiration, so I dug into my files of inspirational quotes and designed a few graphics. For someone who can't visualize a picture, cover art or the furniture layout in my living room, I think I did pretty well.
They're nothing fancy, but maybe the quotes will inspire you this week!
Dare greatly! Do it now!

Oil Climbs Back From Losses
The May contract is still lower, but well above its $52.50 nadir.

Updated from 2:51 p.m. EST
Oil prices pared earlier losses but still closed lower Wednesday in Nymex floor trading as sellers responded to weekly inventory data from the Energy Department showing a greater-than-expected increase in crude stockpiles.
Oil inventories rose by 5.4 million barrels, more than twice the rate analysts had forecast. Distillate fuel fell 1.1 million barrels, roughly in line with estimates, while gasoline inventories fell 2.9 million barrels, about 1 million barrels more than expected.
The May futures contract closed 24 cents lower at $53.99 a barrel in Nymex floor trading, having fallen as low as $52.50 earlier. Gasoline prices were up more than 2.5 cents at $1.599 a gallon.
"Inventory levels are the highest they've been in three years, with private inventories reaching 314 million barrels, up from 286.2 million barrels in the same period last year, and a swelling Strategic Petroleum Reserve reaching 686.9 million barrels," said John Person, president of the National Futures Advisory Service, an investment research adviser in Palm Beach, Fla.
The high reserve levels in the U.S. will probably end the "explosive bubble of high oil prices" in a couple of months, Person says. He expects prices to fall to $47 per barrel, but reiterated that a long-term concern over global supply still remains, which means prices are not likely to go down below $40 a barrel.
On another front, OPEC signaled it was no longer considering another production increase, having agreed to boost output by 500,000 barrels a day at its meeting earlier this month. OPEC's next regularly scheduled meeting is in June.
The oil cartel said it would continue to monitor the market closely, but implied the recent slide eliminated any immediate need for additional action.
Prices have surged in 2005, following a sharp correction in the last two months of 2004 that briefly brought the benchmark crude close to $40 a barrel.At this time last year, oil was trading at about $36 a barrel.
Shares of most major oil producers were up in late trading.

gained 92 cents, or 1.58%, to $59.19;

In other energy news,
Veritas DGC
( VTS), the oil exploration and drilling service company, gave investors preliminary earnings results for the second fiscal quarter ending Jan. 31. The company expects to report net income of $16.9 million, or 49 cents a share. This beats the average analyst estimate of 41 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial. Shares of Veritas DGC jumped $3.25, or 12.65%, to $28.94.
Delayed pipeline repairs led
PertoQuest Energy
(PQUE)
to lower its first-quarter production guidance to 37 million to 39 million cubic feet per day, down from its previous guidance of 40 million to 44 million per day. Shares tumbled 6 cents, or 0.86%, to $6.31, after a 5% drop earlier.
Following an announcement made earlier this week regarding the company's failure to submit its 2003 financial restatement to the
Key Energy
(KEG) - Get Key Energy Services, Inc. Report
has been reduced to a B- by Standard & Poor's, down from its previous debt rating of a B. S&P placed Key on its negative credit watch.
But the news about the Key filing issues apparently hasn't deterred buying of the stock. Shares are up 36 cents, or $3.41%, at $10.93.
"People seem to think there is inherent value in the company and are buying its shares now that it's cheap," said John Tasdemir, oil service analyst at Raymond James.
Shares of
Dynegy
(DYN)
increased 22 cents, or 6.08$, to $3.84. Gordon Howald, equity analyst at Natexis Bleichroeder, says it is a "fast money stock." Dynegy's financial fundamentals are still "somewhat stressed" causing large portfolio managers to shy away from it, but increased buying today signals rapid traders such as hedge funds are playing, Howald says.

In this stunning series debut from New York Times bestselling author Madeline Hunter, a duke's mysterious bequest brings fortune—and passion—to three young women . . .
Minerva Hepplewhite has learned the hard way how to take care of herself. When an intruder breaks into her home, she doesn't swoon or simper. Instead she wallops the rogue over the head and ties him up—only to realize he is Chase Radnor, a gentleman and grandson of a lord, and a man who makes it his business to investigate suspicious matters. Now he's insisting that Minerva has inherited a fortune from his uncle, a wealthy duke. Only one thing could surprise her more: her sudden attraction to this exasperating man . . .
Chase can't decide whether Minerva is a wronged woman or a femme fatale. Either way, he's intrigued. Maddeningly, with her unexpected inheritance, she has set up a discreet detective business to rival Chase's own. She may be the perfect person to help him uncover the truth about his uncle's demise. But as proximity gives way to mutual seduction, Chase realizes he craves a much deeper alliance . . .

Praise for Heiress for Hire:
"At the heart of this smart, satisfying Regency romance—the first in a new trilogy from Hunter (Never Deny a Duke)—is the mystery of why a duke would bequeath a fortune to a woman he'd never met. Chase Radnor, gentleman investigator and nephew to the late duke, is instantly suspicious upon meeting newly minted heiress Minerva Hepplewhite. His eccentric uncle's fall from a parapet looks like murder, and Minerva gained a great deal from his death. The self-reliant young widow also has a dark, secretive past that makes her a perfect suspect. To clear her name, Minerva begins her own investigation into the duke's death, launching Hepplewhite's Office of Discreet Inquiries, and she and Chase form an uneasy alliance as they first compete for, then begin to share, clues. Hunter gives the well-matched pair plenty of ground to cover with a wide cast of memorable suspects, and their clever detective work is a consistent pleasure. The plot moves apace, but Chase and Minerva's relationship is treated patiently, with their attraction simmering alongside mutual respect, and their eventual love scenes are sensitively rendered. Romance readers craving substantive mystery and intelligent leads will savor this pitch-perfect love story."
—Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
"A superbly sexy love story deftly dovetailed with a well-crafted, mystery-spiked plot, and graced with a cast of endlessly amusing characters."
"An unexpected heiress finds love with the nephew of her benefactor as they both investigate the death that brought them together… Their banter is sharp and exciting."
Praise for the previous works of Madeline Hunter
"Fueled by an abundance of subtle wit and potent sensuality . . . an exquisitely crafted love story by one of the romance genre's masters."
"A rash, adventure seeking heroine and an honorable, take charge hero clash splendidly as passions blaze . . . to the delight of all concerned."
"Intelligent and memorable. . . . With its tangy dialogue, Pride and Prejudice themes, bits of mystery and nefarious characters, readers may be reminded of Jane Austen."
—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)
"Hunter . . . spins the intrigues of an enterprising bastard son and a resourceful artist to delightful effect in this excellent launch."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Stellar . . . hits all the literary marks. Hunter's effortlessly elegant writing exudes a wicked sense of wit; her characterization is superbly subtle, and the sexual chemistry she cooks up between her deliciously independent heroine and delightfully sexy hero is pure passion."

Yesterday (Wednesday 30 May) Farming Minister George Eustice attended the Royal Bath and West Show in Somerset, which showcases more than 4,500 livestock, historic farm machinery and the latest agricultural innovation. While at the show, the Minister met with the South West Young Farmers Club to hear about their work to encourage more young people to get into farming.
We are considering all the responses to the consultation and will bring forward our plans for legislation later this year.
The Independent has run an article providing a scientific analysis on the content of our Clean Air Strategy which we published earlier this month.
The article was originally published on The Conversation website.
You can read more about our Clean Air Strategy on GOV.UK.
Farming income and productivity have risen significantly for 2017, with total income standing at £5,743 million – an increase of 41% - and productivity increasing by 2.9%.
This comes from today's annual publication –Agriculture in the UK – which summarises data across a range of measures, including farming income, productivity and commodity prices.
There are number of factors behind the rise in income, including exchange rates, increased global cereals stocks and generally favourable weather in 2017, which led to good crop establishment and growth.
Looking ahead, as we leave the EU and the Common Agricultural Policy we have an opportunity to design our own agriculture policy for the first time in 45 years, rewarding farmers for their work to protect and enhance the environment. Following our public consultation, which closed on 8 May, an Agriculture Bill will be brought forward later this year.

Additionally, MemberMouse can provide upsells to members, or mechanically provide downsells to customers that wish to cancel so as to boost client retention and maximize earnings. MemberMouse also allows members to upgrade or downgrade memberships .You may check out a complete feature list from MemberMouse for each of the juicy details in 1 place, or see our summary of some MemberMouse attributes.
After products are created, you may then create membership access levels to tie to any of your membership products. These membership levels will determine the content limitation principles for members. But, you may also edit the access rules on a per-post or per-page basis.When you create a membership level, you may assign that access level to a particular item. This is precisely what I was talking about in regard to flexibility — you can assign an access level for as many products as you need, so if you offer promotional pricing for email subscribers or referrals from your affiliates, you can tie the same accessibility to each of these products.You will also select which classes will be shielded for that entry level in the same display. Multiple post categories can be chosen for access. Consequently, MemberMouse supports both tiered and topic-based memberships.As a default, access will be limited for the entire post for every single post in the category. Access may also be set on a per-post or per-page basis whilst editing a page or post. The post / page editor is where you are going to handle content dripping. Dripping is elastic and super-simple, as you can specify a delay in access for every membership level in terms of days.After content dripping is set up, it is possible to see schedules for every membership level under Product Settings > Content Dripping Schedule to find an overall view of when each access level can view content. This webpage will also allow you to bulk edit access rights for each membership level, and customize content dripping occasions for each entry level. It is really helpful for all those that already have a lot of content created, and just wish to assign drip times and access rights from one display.Not sure how it will look to each member? Examine the top of your screen when previewing your own site.
Before you begin setting up your website to sell membership products, you'll want to take a look at some of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, called Smart Tags. You can use smart tags to add buy links for your products, selectively restrict (or remove restrictions from) certain parts of content to make excerpts, and show member data. Smart tags also let you insert hyperlinks that enable members to manage their own subscriptions, update memberships, or even purchase new goods.
MemberMouse has another sales choice of which you may take advantage. Members can't purchase more than 1 membership level using MemberMouse. But, you can use another content limitation tool, called a package, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also how you're able to offer upsells to current members. You may assign many products to a package in the exact same way that you can assign many products to a membership accessibility level. Bundles allow you to expand the content accessibility a product supplies when used in this manner.Because Packages are tied to goods in precisely the exact same way as membership access, bundles may also take advantage of content dripping. The benefit to using packages is that members can purchase more than one package at a time.
When you're done learning about smart tags, establishing goods, access levels, and content dripping, you'll want to sell the memberships you have created. While MemberMouse automatically produces a whole lot of pages, it does not produce a catalog or page. For me personally this is a good thing, since I think selling memberships to potential users requires long-form content anyway — members probably aren't going to come to your site and navigate for memberships right away.To market memberships, you'll need to create posts or pages with buy links. It's possible to copy purchase links from your merchandise settings for each item, or create a buy link using a smart tag if the connection has been posted in your WordPress website (which is what we've done in the screenshot). You might also use MemberMouse's built-in button styles rather than the ones from the motif (mine are somewhat lackluster since we're using the default theme).
MemberMouse prices are dependent on the number of users for your membership site, yet MemberMouse is not a genuine SaaS solution, as the MemberMouse plugin runs on your own servers. You install the plugin on your website, but may also have a MemberMouse accounts; your site then assesses with the MemberMouse licensing server to send data on site usage. As this is a"check in", your website does not require MemberMouse's licensing servers to conduct the membership part of your website. Because of this, website performance is entirely determined by your hosting and environment.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 per month for 1,000 users as much as premium and specialist plans at $300-600 a month for sites with more than 100,000 users (service is included for the majority of plans). It is possible to try MemberMouse free for a 14 day trial before committing to using it. Each pricing grade provides different advantages (like premium support beginning with innovative programs ), but here is a rough breakdown of price based on number of consumers.
Billing is extremely flexible with MemberMouse, and cycles are totally customized. You can charge in terms of days, weeks, months, or even years, and enter the cycle of your choosing (ex: 3 weeks, 1 year, 2 weeks, etc). You can continue to bill on a recurring basis forever, or you could decide on lots of cycles for your membership (such as"3 payments of $19.95″). In addition, you can charge a one-time fee for memberships (though I'd recommend avoiding this unless you're just beginning, as you'll always have to pursue new associates, which kind of defeats the purpose of a recurring billing model ).You might also use coupons with MemberMouse, and decide whether to apply them to the initial billing cycle or the life of the membership. Coupons can supply a percent a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons are also created to deliver an totally free membership, or you might make a membership to get a customer yourself and deductions which subscription instead. Coupon usage can be limited to certain products or quite a few uses.The very best part about charging is that you may control recurring billing activities, like refunds, directly from MemberMouse rather than logging in to your account with your payment processor. Finally, MemberMouse integrates with several popular payment providers, such as Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Braintree, and ClickBank. You can use one on-site payment method, such as Stripe or Authorize.net, and in the exact same time use PayPal and/or ClickBank to provide up to 3 payment options.Because cards are tokenized and saved for members, MemberMouse may also help automate late payment managing to save your client management staff time and keep your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse finds that a card was declined, it marks the member's accounts as late, then sends the manhood and email asking him to login and update the card information in the accounts. The member is then immediately charged the amount as a result of member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse is not designed to become an eCommerce platform, but it can permit you to promote some physical products through your website and to sell physical goods with subscriptions, such as magazines (although I think it does a far superior job with virtual products than physical products). When you create your product, you mark it as"shippable", subsequently set up fundamental shipping prices (such as standard and expedited shipping).Personally, I'd just include shipping as part of the membership prices a month (and promote this fact!) To simplify my store management, however, the delivery methods can be useful for promoting'swag' items and other physical products for your website.
MemberMouse has a couple of integrations built in to assist you with your site management. First, email is critical for communication and participation. Rather than install an internal email program, MemberMouse integrates directly with email advertising firms like MailChimp and AWeber. It is possible to use this integration to handle your connection with members having an email platform you are already familiar with, and transferring members between automatic lists to help save time.MemberMouse also incorporates with iDevAffiliate to manage affiliates for your membership site. When customers are sent from an affiliate, this will be noted in the member accounts, and you can opt to dynamically display content or offers to members according to which affiliate referred them to your website.
If you're an advanced user, or have a developer on staff, it's possible to further automate a good deal of MemberMouse functions. Besides clever tags (shortcodes from WordPress lingo), there are lots of actions and filters available, as well as a well-documented set of global purposes for use in templates as well as other customized code. MemberMouse additionally has an API that developers can utilize to integrate MemberMouse with outside systems, which is not the case with all plugins. This permits you to make, get, and upgrade information about members.
MemberMouse provides enormous functionality and will allow you to treat your membership website like a business instead of a hobby. Since it's designed for sites with tens of thousands of associates, this should not come as a surprise. Establishing a website and fundamental content restriction is simple (especially with the help of the"Getting Started" videos), but far more customization is possible in case you are willing to make a time investment in website optimization and setup. There is definitely a learning curve involved in using MemberMouse, but it's in proportion to the amount of functionality you escape the plugin, since it has almost everything you might desire in a membership stage.


How will social media enhance the experience of watching—or participating in—the Olympics? How has social media advanced since the last Olympic Games?
1. London promises to be the first true social media Olympics. Instead of watching the games in a leaned-back position from our chairs and couches, we'll lean forward, thumbing away on our tablets, smartphones, and ultrabooks. As it's done for the Super Bowl, social media will make the experience of watching the Olympics from afar almost as thrilling as watching the games live.
3. Athletes face enough distractions in the famed Olympic Village. When Twitter and Facebook and Foursquare and Instagram are but a smartphone away, social media presents an enormous potential distraction to the athletes, most of whom are digital natives. Can they resist the temptation to respond to their fans' tweets? To taunt their rivals? To give a shout-out to their friends?
4. Will the IOC institute a policy policing athletes' use of social media, just it does with their appearance in advertisements (the blackout period)?
5. Commercials will incorporate hash tags and links to their Facebook pages in their ads.
6. Watching the games online in the office will tax companies' Internet bandwidth—and test the patience of IT departments.

Unless they're sought and Christ they choose in whole.
Remind them who they are and where they've been.
Awake, you sons and daughters of our God!
Stand up and Christ will surely give you light!
Awake from all the dead, you sleepyhead!
There's no more time to doze, He's just ahead!
Than teach his tongue to stop its reckless ways.
But not the tongue; it runs for days and days.
That you regret the instant it is done?
With just an unplanned phrase or bawdy pun.
The tongue might find some worse to say instead.
Or keep a clean, blank slate within your head.
It takes complete surrender to attain.
both among yourselves, and to all men.
An evil for an evil to accrue.
No good can come when sword begats a sword.
Among your fellow saints and to all men.
The greatest good's the gospel shared again.
If you don't feed what's evil it will die.
To take away the feelings you might choose.
You'll get the aid you need to make wrath slow.
To find the root of rage that's had you blind.
His love will heal you and get peace restored.


I wanted to share a bit of Native American wisdom with you today.
Like many of the teachings that come from indigenous culture, the 10 virtues below are intended as a roadmap for living a more balanced and connected life.
The beauty of these ancient pillars of existence is that they always remain relevant, regardless of how evolved or learned we think we've become.
1) The Earth is our Mother, care for her.
2) Honor your ancestors through your actions.
3) Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.
4) All life is sacred; treat all beings with respect.
5) Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more.
6) Put the good of all before your own interests.
7) Give constant thanks for each new day.
8) Speak the truth; but only of good in others.
9) Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun.
10) Enjoy life's journey, but leave no tracks.
They seem so simple right? But somehow these core concepts are easy to forget or take for granted when life gets challenging.
I've come across this list of ten before, but as I read through it again I was struck by one item in particular that really hit home. Today it was number 9, but who knows what it'll be next time!
I hope you too find benefit in these native commandments.
The photo is very Kenyan in design.
I plan to use these teachings as a morning ritual for a drug rehabilitation facility.
I really like all your text. This one to ! It is very nourishing! Thank you for everything.
So which Native American tribe are you attributing this to? Saying it's "Native American wisdom" is like saying something is "Asian wisdom", aka generalizing and racist.

1. Create a flyer or brochure detailing what you need volunteers to do and when you need them. Be as specific as possible and include any incentives for volunteering like free food, T-shirts or media coverage.
2. Build a list of every civic organization, religious institution and school in your community and find out who is in charge of group activities. Try to build as many contact names as possible.
3. Speak to each contact person directly. Tell them briefly about your program or project and ask if you can send them some information to read at their discretion.
4. Follow up with a phone call to each person you sent literature to. Talk with them more about the project and ask if they could help in any way.
5. Keep a running roster of volunteers. If someone has volunteered once and had a good experience, they are likely to help out again. Talk to these people when you are in need.

SeniorNavigator E-QuickTip. April 21, 2008.
Retired persons want to be valued for their abilities and expertise, not their age. The demonstration projects used messages that emphasized the vast resources present in the retired population -- such as honor to commitment, work experience, and flexible schedules -- not their birth dates. Seniors also want ownership over their time and commitments. Seniors may be less likely than other volunteers to commit to a task or time that is predetermined and inflexible. Lastly, retirees are drawn to opportunities where they can work with a group of like-minded individuals toward a common goal. Recruitment efforts that establish a group identify and emphasize the overall mission of the project, not just the task at hand, can meet this need.
Understand your community.
Communities provide different environments for volunteerism and different resources for recruiting. The number one question to ask is "what does this community know about my organization?" The answer can range from "nothing" to "everything" and a recruitment strategy should vary accordingly. Establishing name recognition through the media and other venues is important to communities that do not know much about your organization. Other important questions include: What is the population size? What is the average retirement age? What other senior citizen organizations exist? What types of employment were seniors engaged in before retirement? Know what resources are available to you in the community. Newspapers, weeklies, senior newsletters, cable, TV, radio, and community bulletin boards may be viable options depending on your community.
Use word of mouth.
The number one recruitment strategy reported by the Seniors for Habitat projects was positive word of mouth. Other volunteer recruitment techniques that worked:--Speaking at community forums, pre-retirement classes, public service announcements, home and building shows, even barber shops. --Using the media, including newspaper articles, advertisements on city buses, radio spots, letters to the editor, and the World Wide Web. --Distributing materials such as newsletters, brochures, table tents, posters, flyers, bag-stuffers for grocery stores and bill stuffers for public utilities.

This is Jean-Baptiste's take on his grandfather's Cabernet Franc. The grape is heavily planted in the Loire Valley and also in Virginia here in the U.S. It's less intensely flavored than Cabernet Sauvignon and tends to make lighter-bodied wines. What makes Cabernet Franc unique is a kind of bell-pepper flavor in the wine, along with lighter fruit, tobacco, and even some floral notes. The extent to which any of these predominates is a function of the soil and climate. Jean-Baptiste's vineyard is sunny and hot in the summer, which tends to bring out the fruit and tobacco. Plus he opts for a shorter fermentation, which also tends to make it a fruitier wine.

The Tempest of Gabrielle Papillon is a gothic-folk wonderland
By Carey RutherfordPosted on 2015-09-13 2021-03-27
From her Gothic-Folk roots, Gabrielle was often in black and white. Photo by Courtney Lee Yip
Sorry, sorry sorry!! Missed Gabrielle Papillon's first few shows in her current tour from the West Coast inward, but nobody's perfect, are they?
So she's been in Victoria; she's been in Vancouver, and soon, after a detour to Edmonton, she'll be here (September 16th) in Calgary's Festival Hall: take note!
"I take aim with every phrase . . . " she notes on her brightly dark folk-bluesy, echoey woods album of stories told poetically. Which seems like a good time to ask about presenting such musics when touring solo In Canada:
"I frequently tour with a band in the regional context. I am based in Halifax, (and the format when I go to the) West Coast really depends on the nature of the gig. This tour I'm doing as an opening slot (for Lisa LeBlanc), so it's not really feasible (because of the divided profits and resources) to bring a band.
The truth of the matter is that when I write it's just me and a guitar. I'm very wordy, and the words and the melody are fundamentally the core of the song."
Gabrielle mentions that she's toured solo for 4 or 5 years, the new album alone has a lot of material on it (13 tracks!), and finally breaks with modesty and reveals "I do a pretty good live show," which is not surprising from hearing the depth and textures on this new release: someone's been messing with the folk themes and backgrounds. But the fact that she equipped herself with an MA in History feeds into the folk-music agenda:
"Yeah, to some extent the breadth of what I'm writing about is wider than love songs, but if we're talking categories, I like to call it 'orchestral folk', or 'indie-pop folk', because for me, the truth is that my influences lie between Radiohead and Bjork and Tori Amos, which is all big orchestral stuff, and The Band and the McGarrigle Sisters and The Beatles, which my parents listened to a lot of.. . . .So there's a confluence of things in some songs: 'Preach Love' is not a very folkie song, but the words are to some extent.
But I think sometimes we do a disservice to pop music, when we assume that it's got to be about one topic only. There are some AMAZING pop songs that have lyrics that are complex and about a lot of different things."
Now comes the 'do yourself a favour' section of the concert promo: "Well Beneath", the last track on the album, is a remarkable minimalist example of what she has just said, however . . .
"It's virtually impossible to play live; I knew it when I wrote it.. . . . I have 5 guitars just lying around the house (and) I was playing around with open D tunings, and (this) guitar is really old, and resonates really well. And I was just shifting on the couch, and my knee knocked it, and it resonated . . . this beautiful chord. (It became) about the theme and the mood and the layers and how big I wanted it to be at the end."
It's a REMARKABLE song, so someone should ask her to do it . . . live. We then compare this imagined pop intimacy with a lot of the rest of the album, which doesn't even mention 'I' or 'you' or 'me'. Instead, more like traditional folk, it engages large themes, larger groups of people and their issues: things 'we' do, It seems.
"I was reading a lot of newspapers," she laughs. "When I'm on the road . . . I tend to be pretty oblivious to the world. (So I was at home) and suddenly I was reading and writing all day long. And frankly the news is not always positive stuff, and I was pretty mad half of the time, and frustrated, and also just moved, by what I was reading."
And when you go to hear her play, (which you WILL, right), you will be moved as well.

Author: Carey Rutherford
Swallowed by the mutual loves of words and music (but far too chicken-shit to perform them with a band), Carey's writing career started slowly as a freelance writer in 2003, starved him nearly to personal bankruptcy until 2008, and changed directions while writing for FastForward, Beacon Calgary, GayCalgary, and Examiner magazines. With the death of many old-school periodicals, and the explosion of musical diversity in Calgary, the modern approach to writing about live music performance in the Calgary region presented uncluttered landscapes for the focussed passion that Carey's conversations with musicians, drag queens, festival producers and small animals has uncapped. He was moulded by the brilliance of paper-based periodicals old and new (Life, rolling Stone, Swerve! and Adbusters etc.), and sees the info-verse as needing creative, empathetic, but clear-eyed Agents to communicate these performances.

You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry

File:Aangry 7702.png
You might still like him, but you're screwed anyway.
David Banner: "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
A Super-Trope for when you just don't want to tick off a character. Bad things will happen, which can include:
Angst Nuke (the character explodes destructively out of sheer rage)
Awakening the Sleeping Giant: An entire group is roused from its neutrality and is not happy about it.
Bad Mood As an Excuse (when trying to talk out a person who isn't in the mood, only to get lashed out on)
Berserk Button (when pissing off comes from a specific thing)
Beware the Nice Ones (when a particularly nice character snaps out after being messed with one too many times)
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass (Triggers superpowers)
Hair-Trigger Temper (when it's really hard not to piss a character off)
Hulking Out (triggers Involuntary Shapeshifting. HULK SMASH!)
Relative Button (the character gets pissed when his or her family is threatened or killed)
Rage Breaking Point (the character doesn't want to get angry, but eventually loses it)
Tranquil Fury (the character's ready to tear you apart in a seemingly calm manner)
Unstoppable Rage (the character gets righteously pissed and pulls out all the stops to take you down)
It doesn't matter if the character is the hero, villain, supporting character, or bystander. Just don't piss off this character if you don't want big trouble.
Psychoactive Powers can sometimes involve this.
Compare Madness Tropes and Don't Make Me Destroy You.
Examples of You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry include:
1 Anime and Manga
2 Comic Books
5 Live Action TV
6 Video Games
7 Web Original
8 Western Animation
Dragon Ball--
Son Gohan. Any Saiyan for that matter, but Gohan most.
Piccolo too.
Chichi. She makes the Saiyan squirm, and she's just a human...with a pan.
Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara. Granted, it's generally in good form not to piss off people with Super Strength in general, but this one is especially easy to set off.
Shinigami in Soul Eater, and his son Kid on a smaller scale. Yes, other characters cause greater damage than usual when angered, but these two spread it around more, whether to pyramids or an entire city.
Naruto can give even the Trope Namer himself a run for his money in this department in his kyuubi forms.
Natsu of Fairy Tail is an example of this, as the flame of emotion that is the source of power for his Dragon Slayer magic causes him to actually become stronger the angrier he gets.
Yuuri from Kyo Kara Maoh is as nice as they come. However if you start hurting innocent people or those close to him...
Luffy, from One Piece, is usually a happy-go-lucky type of guy, but if you so much as dare to hurt any of those he cares for, you better have your testament ready.
Setsuna, from Mahou Sensei Negima, is a quiet and polite girl who prefers to stay in the background. Usually, she's really calm and composed even in the heat of battle. But don't, just don't you dare harming Konoka unless you want her to butcher you in split-seconds.
Named after Marvel Comics's Bruce Banner (a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk), who uses this line to warn people of his Hulking Out ability. It doesn't always work.
Superman is one of the nicest guys in the universe. But if someone gets him angry, they find out just how powerful he really is. It says a lot about Lex Luthor that he intentionally does things just to piss Superman off.
City Slickers, when Curly is being buried. The cook can only think of "Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off." as a eulogy.
Making Godzilla angry is a very, very, VERY bad idea. Doing so will result in a major city (often Tokyo) being destroyed.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: It's a bad idea to anger Dr. Frank N Furter. Eddie and Janet Weiss SLUT! had to learn this the hard way.
The documentary (read: hour-long advertisement) available on the Extended Edition DVD for Underworld featured a self-proclaimed werewolf who named this trope exactly.
The 2008 The Incredible Hulk film. Bruce Banner butchers his catchphrase by way of a bad translation and proceeds to fight as normal. In the novelization, he says it to two college girls who just laugh at him, since the phrase is full of Narm. However, the film did also have a variation on the phrase which was pretty good.
"There are aspects of my personality that I can't control, and when I lose control, it's very dangerous to be around me."
In A Hard Day's Knight, John and Suzie use their own variant to intimidate an uncooperative laundromat employee:
Shotgun Suzie: You really want me to get cranky?
John Taylor: You wouldn't like her when she's cranky.
In Legacy of the Force, Luke gives Jacen a quote almost identical.
Live Action TV
Trope Namer is The Incredible Hulk TV series, and its classic implied threat, delivered with a wonderfully understated and grim bemusement. And it's actually said before he becomes the Hulk.
Banner: Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
It's been said in later episodes of Torchwood that it's best not to piss Jack off. Take into mind this line from the Children of Earth miniseries (spoken by his daughter to the government spooks who just arrested her and her son):
Alice: I can only assume you're using us as hostages against my father - but if you've done anything to anger him, then God help you.
Doctor Who--
You really don't want to piss off the Doctor. That seemingly harmless oddball can tear the heavens apart and reshape reality if he really wants to. There's a reason the Daleks, a race of Omnicidal Maniacs capable of wiping out all life in the universe, hate and fear him so much. They have no emotions, and they invented a name to call him; Destroyer of Worlds and The Oncoming Storm.
Ditto River Song. Sarcastic, teasing, likes to banter. And - can make a Dalek beg for mercy. Just... don't make her go there.
Similarly, in the prequel to "A Good Man Goes to War":
"...I even hear rumours about whose child you've taken. Are you mad? [Pause] You know the stories about the Doctor? The things that man has done? God help us if you've made him angry!"
(from the actual episode)
"If that man has started calling in his debts, then God help you... and God help his debtors."
Surprisingly enough, Rory Williams. Kidnap one of his loved ones? Prepare to have the Last Centurion blow up your star-fleet.
It is also best to not piss Jack from 24 off.
Also, pissing off Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series would be more than illogical. It's very hard to do, but once you manage it, This Is Gonna Suck doesn't cover your fate.
On a related note, Data (without the emotional chip) is literally impossible to piss off. However, if you threaten him with harming his friends, you'll face a superintelligent, super-strong, nigh-indestructible android who has decided that removing you from existence is the completely logical solution under the current circumstances.
Doc Louis's Punch Out plays this completely straight. Midway through the fight, Louis pulls out a chocolate bar that he'll eat and restore all his health with if not interrupted. However, punching the bar out of his hand is the ultimate way to push his Berserk Button. He immediately flips out with the phrase - "NOOOOOO! NOW You've done it! You won't like Doc when he's angry!", proceeds to rip off his jacket, and his attack speed doubles. Right after pulling out another chocolate bar and healing himself out of your attack range.
Zappa from Guilty Gear. Although he's more of a "You Wouldn't Like Me When My Ghosts Are Angry", his profile in the manual mentions this trope by name.
"Don't make him angry! You won't like him when he's angry!"
In the "Grim Tales" quest in RuneScape, Glod the Giant shouts "You wouldn't like Glod when Glod angry!"
In one Butlerverse story, this line was quoted verbatim to Omega by Stone, after the villainous machine threatened an eight year old girl whose only "crime" was being a telepath. One just doesn't threaten children in Stone's presence and expect to walk away unhurt.
Hulky of Klay World says this word-for-word before somebody takes him up on the challenge. Averted in that he actually gets smaller, weaker, and perhaps stupider when he gets mad. Played straight later on when he gets really mad and turns huge and smashes everything.
Parodied in the Whateley Universe story "Tales of the MCO" when a commercial break comes. It's the Merchant-Ivory production of "Hulk 1809":
My lord, please do not make me angry. Thou wouldst not like me when I am most angered.
The line is used in Lanipator's Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged movie, by Yukina, of all people. It's promptly subverted when the villains ignore her and smash her into a wall.
The Nostalgia Critic might still be pathetic when he's having his little boy rages, but he has a tendency to explode buildings accidentally when he's like that.
The Avatar State in Avatar: The Last Airbender, as seen in the page pic.
Some context: the Avatar is an individual who has the ability to control fire, earth, water, and air. When the Avatar state kicks in, they temporarily gain the combined knowledge and power of all the previous Avatars, of which there has been at least fifty generations. Until the Avatar learns how to control it, it will kick in when he/she is either in danger of dying or highly distressed. At which point, their tactics and moral considerations consist of: destroy threat. With extreme prejudice.
Raven from Teen Titans, as a result of being half-demon. The result of ticking her off is a demonic form that is less powerful than the Avatar State above, but probably worse to have as an enemy, as Raven can get downright sadistic when she's like this. (Poor Dr. Light never did get over what she did to him...)
Dr. Light: Don't! Stop! You win! I surrender!! AHHHHHHH Demon Raven: What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?
Then, a season or two later, Dr. Light (with a new, more powerful suit): Haha! You can never defeat me! Raven (best impersonation of her demonic half): Remember me? Dr. Light: I'd like to go to jail now, please.
In an episode of Dexter's Laboratory, Dexter alters his tastebuds so he only like fruits and vegetables, but a side-effect is that he Hulks out when he gets too hungry. He is denied food by someone later on, and uses a variation of the phrase, replacing "angry" with "hungry".
That same line happened (In Portuguese) in The Incredible Hulk.

Curious George 2006
M4ufree Movies - Watch Movie Curious George 2006 Online
Director:	Matthew OCallaghan
Genre: Animation Adventure Comedy
Released: 10 Feb 2006
Starring: Will Ferrell Drew Barrymore Eugene Levy
#Q-F
Storyline:  The naughty little monkey from Margret Rey and H.A. Rey's beloved children's stories makes the leap to the big screen in this animated adaptation. Ted (voice of Will Ferrell) is an explorer with a large yellow hat who is good friends with Bloomsberry (voice of Dick Van Dyke), who runs a natural history museum. Bloomsberry's greedy son, Bloomsberry Junior (voice of David Cross), wants to tear down his dad's museum and put a parking ramp in its place, but the elder Bloomsberry is convinced that a spectacular new exhibit could save the museum from the wrecking ball. Ted heads to Africa on an expedition to find some special artifacts that will keep his friend in business, but while he's there he befriends a playful monkey he calls George (voice of Frank Welker). While George is friendly, he has a taste for mischief and seems to always get Ted in hot water; Ted thinks he's seen the last of his simian friend when his ship heads back to America, until he discovers that George managed to hide aboard the boat before it set sail. Ted's search for a eye-catching exhibit proved to be a failure, and Ted and his good friend Maggie (voice of Drew Barrymore), a schoolteacher who's sweet on him, struggle to find of a way to save Bloomsberry's museum. But time becomes precious for Ted when George has an entire new city to explore. Curious George features a handful of original songs composed for the film by surfer-turned-singer/songwriter Jack Johnson.

You may not give diabetes too much thought. But a report showed that around 29.1 million Americans suffer from diabetes. Diabetes is a very real danger to this country's population, and it is always better to be safe than sorry. The following guide will teach you how to prevent it through simple means that are also natural.
A study found that depriving yourself of sleep may lead to diabetes, because it causes some of your cells to use insulin improperly to produce energy. A lot of your energy comes from sugars in your body. But the sugar content will rise if your body cannot absorb it correctly.
Put your air conditioner at 60 to 67 degrees at night, as it helps your body feel sleepy.
Do not sleep with the lights on, because your body mistakes light as sunlight, and this may keep you up.
Take a warm bath about an hour before you go to sleep, as this will cause a drop in body heat temperature, making you feel sleepy.
Drinking a little alcohol in the form of wine or beer could help prevent diabetes because it helps your body control the amount of sugar that ends up in your blood system. Research concluded that you need to drink about 2 small drinks per day or 0.8 ounces a day. Be sure to consider drinking healthier options, like natural and organic wines or beers.
You can also talk to your health care specialist about what else you can do to keep yourself safe from diabetes. There are some things that may be specific to you, such as being overweight, which have been linked to diabetes, too. Contact a center like Sound Family Health for more help.


Filmmaking student Jerry Sun felt like a member of the Paramount Studios team.
Sun was one of more than two dozen filmmaking students at Woodbury who earned credit—and invaluable real-world experience—at internships each year. And for students of filmmaking, being located within minutes of a variety of major film and television studios has its distinct advantages.
Sun, like three other Woodbury students last year, interned at Paramount Studios. In recent years, Woodbury students have done internships at Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, CBS, the DreamWorks subsidiary Awesomeness TV, Flynn Picture Company, Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla, the Pasadena International Film Festival, and beyond.
Filmmaking students study directing, cinematography, writing, producing, law, and editing. They study films in the screening room, shoot on the soundstage and around campus, and edit productions. Faculty nurture their creativity and help them learn how to bring their storytelling vision to life.
Practical experience for students is something that Woodbury takes very seriously. In fact, each of Woodbury's undergraduate programs requires that students do an internship.
For students in the Filmmaking Program, this requirement is particularly critical. Last year, 30 of Filmmaking student received credits for their work at internships.
