Special Feature: Christmas Movies and Books
December 17, 2014 December 11, 2014 by The Lit Bitch
How many of you watch Christmas movies as one of your holiday traditions? I know the Christmas movie is a staple in my house.
Usually the two favorite Christmas movies are White Christmas and Christmas Vacation….two very different classics!
Would any of you be surprised that many Christmas movies are based on books? I think a lot of you would be surprised to find out just how many Christmas classics came from books!
My guest writer Spencer Blohm wrote this fantastic article for us today about your favorite holiday films and the books that inspired them….please welcome Spencer to The Lit Bitch!
Books can convey many meanings, and when a story carries a strong, intriguing message, it's often turned into a movie to share the story to a larger audience. This is especially true of books that carry morally strong themes revolving around the holiday season. Not all of the stories invoke religious themes, but they do resonate with the same tropes of goodwill and acceptance of others. Here are just a few of the books that have been turned into beloved holiday films.
The Gift of Love: A young woman, who was raised in a loving, but poverty-stricken home ends up living with her grandparents. Her grandparents arrange her marriage to a wealthy man. She falls in love with another, who happens to be poor, and admirably chooses love over wealth. When the holidays come around, the couple make some surprising and moving sacrifices in order to buy the other a wonderful gift. The movie, expanded from the original short story, starred Marie Osmond, and was produced by the Osmond family.
Olive, the Other Reindeer: A Jack Russell Terrier named Olive hears a radio announcement regarding one of Santa's reindeer being injured, and misinterprets the classic Christmas lyrics "all of the other reindeer" for "Olive, the other reindeer." Olive, now believing she herself is a reindeer, sets off to help Santa and encounters many adventures and perils along the way. When she finally reaches Santa, she earns herself a place with Santa's sled crew. There are many recognizable actors' voices in this movie to delight parents watching with their kids, including Drew Barrymore, Tim Meadows, and Joe Pantoliano.
The Christmas Box: A young family becomes caretakers for an elderly lady. They enjoy their time with her, caring for both her and her lovely home. While there, the father of the family is led by an angel to the attic, where he discovers a beautiful old music box that holds letters from many years ago. The elderly lady's health takes a turn for the worse, and while she is in the hospital, the truth comes out as to who the letters were written to. The film (free to stream on IMDB) stars Richard Thomas and Maureen O'Hara.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: Even though this story is at times humorous, it carries a sweet and sentimental message. The story follows six children that are known for being ruffians and bullies. When they learn the church in town is having a Christmas pageant, they steal the places of the main characters. Even though the pageant is a bit unruly, the children help the entire community take a look at the true meaning of Christmas. The film was a made for TV adaption.
Papa's Angels: A 12-year-old mountaineer tells the story of her family, who has lost their mother. Since she died, their father has become a bitter shell of a man. He decides the family will not celebrate Christmas, and the four children go about turning their father into the loving man they once knew. The movie stars Scott Pakula as the father, and is told in a wonderful manner. The film was nominated for the Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Movies of the Week/Mini-Series.
A Dog Named Christmas: A young, developmentally challenged man whose love for animals causes many issues between him and his father. The young man insists on bringing home a dog, which he names Christmas. The young man then uses his persuasions to find homes for numerous dogs in the town's "Adopt a Dog for Christmas" program. A Dog Named Christmas points out how family, love and giving are vital, even to animals, during the holiday season. The movie stars Noel Fisher, Linda Emond, and Bruce Greenwood, and is available to stream on Direct TV.
The Nine Lives of Christmas: A cat has made a deal with higher powers in order to earn his ninth life on Earth. To keep his final life, he must help two people find each other and fall in love. The cat's chance comes when he is purchased and brought home for Christmas by a young bachelor. Unfortunately, the man is a firefighter and a ladies' man, and the woman he should be with is impossibly shy. It takes quite a bit of work on the cat's part to get these two to see they're destined for with each other. The film stars Kimberly Sustad and Brandon Routh.
As you can see, the message of love, family, and giving can be carried in many forms (and even multiple species!). The holiday season is the most popular time in the world to enjoy classic, feel-good, films which have something for everyone – young and old, in every story.
Review: The Raven Prince (Princes #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt
Review: What A Lady Needs For Christmas (MacGregors #4) by Grace Burrowes


Last night Liechtenstein came within a whisker of pulling off one of their greatest ever results, falling to a 97th minute goal against Scotland at Hampden. It's always good to see plucky no-hopers upset the odds, especially when they grab an injury-time winner. Ha! See what I did there?
I couldn't get to the match as I had a book event in Dublin, but I did have a piece in the programme. And, hey, whaddaya know, here it is.
Eight years ago tomorrow a knot of blue-shirted players stood over a football among lengthening shadows at the end of a hot alpine day at the beautifully situated Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz debating what to do at a free-kick some twenty-five yards from goal. Liechtenstein were coming to the end of their opening Euro 2004 qualifying tie against Macedonia, a game that was following a familiar pattern. Despite fighting hard and playing well Liechtenstein were a goal down: Macedonia had scored early and settled back to see out the rest of the game with minimal exertion. It was three weeks shy of four years since Liechtenstein had last scored a competitive goal and the visitors justifiably felt their work in Vaduz was done.
By the third minute of injury time many in the crowd of 1,500 were beginning to make their way to the exits when Martin Stocklasa was fouled outside the area, convening the gathering of players over the ball discussing their options.
Shielding my eyes from the low sun I saw that every Macedonian player had placed himself between the ball and the goal as the Liechtensteiners debated their plan of attack. When you spend most games stoutly defending your own eighteen yard line clever free-kick routines tend to be low on the list of training priorities. What was to be done?
The whistle blew and twenty-one year old Michael Stocklasa, brother of Martin, puffed out his cheeks, took three steps and thundered in a low, scudding shot that barely left the turf. The ball disappeared into a thicket of legs, flashed past the motionless Macedonian goalkeeper and billowed the bottom right hand corner of the net.
There was a brief silence then the little stadium erupted in joy. I jumped higher out of my seat than should have been humanly possible, while on the pitch Stocklasa's blond head disappeared under a pile of jubilant blue-shirted players. The roar of delight echoed around the Rhine valley, its reverberations probably still startling cows even today.
The final whistle went as soon as the Macedonians rolled the ball off the centre-spot, and pandemonium broke out. The team punched the air and ran to each other in delight. Strung along the pitch hand in hand, the players saluted the crowd again and again, raw exhilaration subduing fatigue.
Leaping around like an idiot at a goal for a nation with whom I have no blood ties might seem a little irrational; some might say needy, especially when that goal is a last gasp equaliser against Macedonia.
But then I had been waiting two long years for that moment.
I had followed this remarkable group of footballers from a remarkable country through their entire qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup for a book I was writing and fallen irrevocably for a team for whom it really was the taking part that counted.
When you consider that the late equaliser against Macedonia was the team's first goal in a competitive match for four years, only the seventh in their history and earned them only their sixth qualifying point ever you might understand why a Liechtenstein supporter, even one by proxy like myself, might have gone happily demented in the evening sunshine eight years ago. In two years I'd never seen them score a goal.
When you follow Liechtenstein football you soon learn that there really are more important things than winning. A country of just 34,000 souls that covers such a small area that you could fit it comfortably into Luxembourg sixteen times is never going to win the European Championships. It's never going to qualify for the European Championships either. So the fact that a nation with a population roughly the size of Falkirk's can compete and hold its own at the highest level is part of what keeps football magical for me.
I once saw Liechtenstein 'only' lose 0-2 to Spain: at the final whistle you'd have thought the Principality had won the World Cup itself. Back then the team only had a couple of professionals: the captain at the time was a winemaker who sometimes missed World Cup matches if the grapes were ripe for picking. There were bankers in the side, a schoolteacher, the requisite postmen, and when you got to know them as I did you could truly understand the nature of national pride. Winning didn't matter so much, as long as you played to the best of your ability and could make your tiny country proud. That night against Raul, Mendieta, Casillas and the rest, Liechtenstein's footballers certainly did that.
Since that goal went in against Macedonia there have been greater moments in Liechtenstein football: coming back from 0-2 down to draw 2-2 with Portugal in a 2006 World Cup qualifier easily serves as the greatest day in Liechtenstein football history, and there have been competitive wins against Iceland, Luxembourg (twice) and Latvia to add to their only previous success against Azerbaijan in 1998.
But statistics aren't as important when your country is only sixteen miles long and four miles wide (and two thirds of that is mountains). On paper a 1-1 draw with Macedonia looks pretty forgettable. For those of us who were there however, who had an emotional investment in that occasion whether as a player, coach, official or supporter, when Michael Stocklasa's shot nearly burst the net among the long evening shadows it was about more, much more than a last-ditch point against a middling football nation.
Aside from the romance Liechtenstein are a decent, well-organised football team. Many of the players out there this evening have played together for a dozen years: an experienced, mature unit who've competed among the best in Europe for more than a decade. They are far from pushovers. So, if in injury-time tonight you see Michael Stocklasa lining up a free-kick, don't take anything for granted.

China to continue support Pakistan: Chinese President
BEIJING: President Xi Jinping, in a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday, assured China's continued support for Pakistan's sustainable economic and strategic projects, including Main Line-1 (ML-1) rail track.
He also announced an additional assistance package of Rs15.2 billion for the country's flood relief efforts. In a meeting held at the People's Great Hall, the two leaders, reaffirming their mutual commitment to China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), agreed that as a project of strategic importance, both sides would make joint efforts to launch the ML-1 as an early harvest project under the CPEC framework.
Both leaders also acknowledged the need for a mass-transit project in Karachi and agreed to finalise all formalities for the early launch of the Karachi Circular Railway.
They also appreciated the signing of a number of agreements, covering a broad range of bilateral cooperation during the visit. PM Shehbaz Sharif congratulated President Xi on his re-election as General Secretary of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). He also thanked him for China's invaluable assistance to Pakistan's relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in the wake of devastation, caused by super floods in Pakistan.
The two leaders reviewed the progress in Pakistan-China bilateral relations and exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest. They reaffirmed their commitment to the All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership between the two countries that has withstood the test of time.
The two nations have stood firmly side by side, in realising their shared vision of peace, stability, development and prosperity. Reaffirming Pakistan's unique historic ties with China and the bilateral friendship for regional peace and stability, Prime Minister Shehbaz strongly emphasised that Pakistan-China friendship enjoys complete consensus across the political spectrum in Pakistan and is a model of inter-state relations.
Paying tribute to President Xi's leadership for China's prosperity and his vision for strengthening the bilateral relationship, the prime minister said that Pakistan drew inspiration from China's socio-economic development and national resolve to the country's progress and prosperity.
The two leaders discussed cooperation across a range of issues, including defence, trade and investment, agriculture, health, education, green energy, science and technology and disaster preparedness.
They exchanged views on the rapid transformation in the international environment, which had exacerbated economic challenges for developing countries. They affirmed their shared belief in dialogue and cooperation, based on equality and mutual benefit as critical for global peace and prosperity.
They agreed that contemporary challenges like climate change, health pandemics and growing inequalities needed unqualified cooperation among states, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.
There was complete unanimity of views between the two leaders. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Xi Jinping also discussed the key issues, pertaining to the region including the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and in Afghanistan.
Both leaders acknowledged that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan would promote regional security and economic development and agreed that CPEC's extension to Afghanistan would strengthen regional connectivity initiatives. The prime minister also extended a warm invitation to President Xi for visiting Pakistan at an early date, which the latter accepted graciously.

You or a family member have been in an accident and are injured. You are incurring out of pocket expenses for your care, recovery or rehabilitation. You know that automobile insurance is supposed to pay the benefits owed but where do you start? The answer is: with your own automobile insurance company.
Contact your insurance agent or the claim reporting center and let them know you were involved in an accident. An adjuster should contact you within a few days and tell you that No-Fault benefits are available to you. You should receive an "Application for Benefits" form. Complete this form and return it to the insurance adjuster. This form must be submitted to your insurance company within one year of the accident for you to obtain benefits.
Contact the automobile insurance company of a family member you live with and tell them you were injured in a motor vehicle accident. For example, if you were a pedestrian, struck by a motor vehicle and injured. You do not have an automobile but you live with a family member (parent, grandparent, sibling, child, spouse, etc) who does have automobile insurance - contact your family member's insurance company as if it were your own.
You may not have automobile insurance and not live with anyone with automobile insurance. Many persons are under the impression that in order to entitled to No-Fault benefits, you must have a policy of insurance for yourself. This is not the case. The general rule is: everybody injured in a motor vehicle accident is covered by No-Fault insurance and is eligible for No-Fault benefits. Note that there is an exception to this rule for those who are driving their own, uninsured car.

Sharks have no teeth as Cardinal varsity takes 26-7 win in Friday game
Undisputed Frontier League title just one game away
The Cardinal varsity started off strong Friday in their 26-7 victory over Malibu, leaving Santa Paula with the possibility of an undefeated season and a Frontier League Championship. Santa Paula was in charge from the first kickoff as Zach McClain ran the ball over 50 yards to the 36-yard line. Anthony Murillo got the ball to the Malibu 7 and moments later Mike Vera scored the first Santa Paula touchdown off a pass from quarterback Max Moreno. The point after kick by Gilbert Mora was good, leaving the Cards in the lead 7-0. Murillo scored a TD for the Cards with two minutes left in the quarter.Murillo scored again late in the second quarter, giving Santa Paula a 20-0 edge. With just a short time left in the quarter Malibu scored and the point after kick put the score at 20-7.The third quarter was a draw, with no score. With 9:19 left in the fourth quarter McClain caught a 14-yard pass for a TD. The PAT pass was unsuccessful. This was last TD of the game.Gusty winds made things difficult at times during the game. Kicking into the wind proved to be a problem for both teams.
The final game of the regular season is at home Friday against Grace Brethren. The varsity contest starts at 7:30 p.m. Pairings for the CIF playoffs will be announced Sunday, November 16. We'll have the results of the draw next Wednesday.


SOUTH SALEM, NY - Seventeen area libraries are the beneficiaries of $80,000 in discretionary "bullet aid" grant funding. The grants were procured and announced by State Senator Terrence Murphy.
"Literacy is perhaps the most beautiful gift you can give," Senator Murphy said. "Benjamin Franklin said 'either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing,' and I hope today we've done something worthwhile that can help everyone in the community from children, teens, adults and seniors benefit from the programs in their local library.
Earlier this year, Senator Murphy announced more than $25,000 in construction grants for local public libraries in the 40th Senate District. The Lewisboro Library, Brewster Public Library and the Beekman Library in Hopewell Junction have all received state grants to upgrade their individual facilities.
Cindy Rubino, director of the Lewisboro Library said, "We are extraordinarily grateful to Senator Terrence Murphy for his strong advocacy on behalf of area libraries. This funding goes toward defraying the cost of the valuable programs and services libraries provide, and is much needed. We thank Senator Murphy for these grants and commend his unprecedented transparency."
The extra funding was distributed based on need, itemized and made public for total transparency, Murphy said.


In 2010, I was sentenced to four years in the Florida state penitentiary for a drinking and driving incident that injured two people. It was my first-ever offense, so when I was handcuffed in the courtroom on that fateful February afternoon, fear of the unknown almost sent me to a state of paralysis.
There were many things that my prison sentence taught me – about myself and about life. One of the most significant lessons I learned, however, was just how broken our prison system truly is.
Behind bars, rehabilitation is virtually non-existent. Substance abuse is largely ignored and the root causes of addiction are never addressed.
Starting over from scratch is an overwhelming endeavor for anyone, but adding an unresolved addiction to the mix is a recipe for disaster.The main objective of the system is to punish. But sometimes that punishment goes so overboard that prisoners become more broken and deeply traumatized than when they initially began their sentences. Once their time is served, these men and women are released with $50, a bus pass, and advice to become "contributing" members of society. Some have little, if any, family support; others leave prison with nothing but the shirts on their backs.
Many people pick up right where they've left off upon exiting those prison gates, high as a kite by the time the bus reaches its destination. In fact, it wasn't uncommon to hear of women overdosing in the first few hours after they had been released from prisoin.
In fact, one girl I bunked next to actually died on her first day of freedom; she tried shooting up the same amount of heroin she'd been using before her arrest. While locked up, her body had weaned itself off of the powerful opiate drug; her mind, however, had not.
Unfortunately, this scenario isn't uncommon.
Given the vast majority struggling with substance abuse, one would think it would be imperative to provide treatment programs.
And yet, for some reason, the majority of all inmates go without any form of rehab or recovery.
Prison should be an environment where the people who need help can receive that rehabilitation, not a place where inmates are simply warehoused and their addictions are ignored.
According to the report, if all the inmates who needed treatment and aftercare received such recovery services, the nation would break even in one year…and that's if just over 10 percent remained sober, employed and crime-free.
Though that number seems small, it would end up reaping an economic benefit of $90,953 per inmate per year. We may not be able to eradicate the disease yet, but we can certainly do more for those who are incarcerated as a result of chemical dependency. And sobriety is something we can all benefit from.

Feeling a bit sad that this is my last post for The 13 Days of Halloween but I have to say it has been an absolute blast meeting the challenges every few days over at http://simplybettystamps.blogspot.com.au/.
Betty and Corinne have kept all of us on our toes and while it is disappointing there were not more fans competing with each contest I hope all of the 'princesses' gave some inspiration to Betty's fans.
I have certainly enjoyed seeing everyone's different take on each challenge!
For my last piece I have made an altered canvas. I started by using impasto paste and a stencil to create a textured tree background that tied in with the image. I painted it with brown acrylic paint and then rubbed Emerald Treasured Gold over the trees. Old book paper was placed behind the image ...appropriate backing for Poe! I coloured the image in with Copic markers and then went to town adding chiboard, bling, some of my favourite creepy hands, a spider and some Prima Halloween sprigs. The words were from a Carta Bella chipboard sheet.
I hope you have enjoyed stopping by and perhaps some of you will stop by at Betty's blog and enter this last contest and win yourself a Halloween prize!
Gorgeous canvas!!!! Love the texture on this!

ON JUNE 9th, 2017, with the permission of the local Ordinary, His Excellency Bishop James Vann Johnston, Jr., a new semi-contemplative traditional community of religious sisters will begin ad experimentum in the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph. The beginning of the community and the entrance of the first two postulants will be celebrated with a Solemn High Mass in honor of Our Lady, Mother of Divine Grace, at Saint Mary's Parish at Independence, MO, at 12:00 Noon.
1) The Sacred Liturgy: The Sisters normatively assist at the Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form. In order to show more clearly the intrinsic relationship between the Holy Mass and the Divine Office, the Sisters are committed to praying all the hours of the traditional Roman Breviary. Lauds and Vespers are chanted in a public chapel or church so that all the faithful may participate.
2) The Spiritual Life: The Sisters of Labor Mariae are radically given to prayer, the interior life, and a healthy asceticism which exemplifies daily that God is chosen above all other things (cf. Mat. 6:33). The Sisters are committed to at least 1½ hours of common Eucharistic adoration every day. As daughters of Mary, they pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily. They also enter more deeply into Jesus' Paschal Mystery, with Our Lady, through the praying of the Way of the Cross.
3) Making Known the Truth, Goodness, and Beauty of Life in Christ: The Sisters serve in practical ways in a parish setting by offering services in the sacristy, in the household, and in parish offices. They seek to draw souls to Christ through Mary through catechesis for all age groups, and through the apostolate of writing. In their catechesis, the Sisters place great emphasis on the sacred liturgy and the interior life of prayer.
Through their participation in the three Marian "labors" and through making evident the truth, the beauty, and the goodness of life in Christ in His Holy Church, the Sisters of Labor Mariae seek to participate in our Blessed Mother's work of bringing Christ to life among God's people, and to contribute to the edification of the priesthood, religious life, and family life.

Q: Aggregate dataframe columns by hourly index So I have a pandas dataframe that is taking in / out interface traffic every 10 minutes. I want to aggregate the two time series into hourly buckets for analysis. What seems to be simple has actually ended up being quite challenging for me to figure out! Just need to bucket into hourly bins
times = list()
ins = list()
outs = list()

for row in results['results']:
    times.append(row['DateTime'])
    ins.append(row['Intraffic'])
    outs.append(row['Outtraffic'])

df = pd.DataFrame()
df['datetime'] = times
df['datetime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime'])
df.index = df['datetime']
df['ins'] = ins
df['outs'] = outs

I have tried using
df.resample('H').mean()

I have tried pandas
groupby

but was having trouble with the two columns and getting the means over the hourly bucket

A: I believe this should do what you want:
df = pd.DataFrame()
df['datetime'] = times
df['datetime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime'])
df.set_index('datetime',inplace=True) # This won't try to remap your rows
new_df = df.groupby(pd.Grouper(freq='H')).mean()

That last line groups your data by timestamp into hourly chunks, based on the index, and then spits out a new DataFrame with the mean of each column.

Your dentist in Fremont, Dr. James Block, delivers professional teeth whitening for amazingly bright smiles. Whether in the dental office or in the privacy of your home, teeth whitening safely removes years of stubborn stains from food, beverages and tobacco. Plus, your renewed smile will last indefinitely with routine in-office and at-home hygiene and occasional touch-ups.
If you have a special occasion, such as a wedding or school reunion, you may want to consider whitening your teeth. Or, perhaps you are just tired of the yellowed, dull smile that makes you reluctant to even open your mouth. Studies conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry do show that the first physical feature people notice is your smile.
Unfortunately, dull and yellowed teeth are a fact of life for many older teens and adults. However, your smile does not have to stay that way.
The team at James Block Dentistry delivers both in-office and at-home teeth whitening. Each type works exceptionally well, and because they are supervised by Dr. Block, they won't harm your teeth or gums. Your tooth enamel will improve by several shades of color, bringing back the look your teeth had years ago.
Your dentist in Fremont examines your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy enough for professional teeth whitening–that is, no extensive decay, gum disease or deteriorating restorations. Then, he can offer you the choice of either Sinsational Smile in-office whitening or a convenient at-home version.
Teeth whitening in the dental office only takes about twenty minutes and applies a very concentrated carbamide peroxide gel to the top and bottom teeth. Sinsational Smile's peroxide gel literally lifts out the staining organic matter caught in tooth enamel. A special LED light activates the chemical process.
The at-home version uses a less concentrated gel applied to the teeth with custom-made, acrylic trays. The patient wears the comfortable gel-filled appliances for a prescribed amount of time each day. This process delivers the same white smile as in-office whitening but takes one to two weeks to complete.
A professionally whitened smile lasts indefinitely with good aftercare and occasional treatments with a touch-up pen. Aftercare involves twice daily brushing with a fluoride toothpaste and once a day flossing in between teeth to remove plaque. Of course, the team at James Block Dentistry wants to see cosmetic dentistry patients two times a year for their routine check-ups and cleanings.
You can have your renewed smile more quickly than you may think. Why not contact James Block Dentistry today to arrange your cosmetic dentistry consultation?

Dulles Corridor Metrorail project reached a major milestone recently, as excavation of a 2,400-foot tunnel under the busy Tysons Corner area of the Washington, D.C. suburbs began on October 12. This section represents the most complex engineering and construction challenge of the project.
The tunnel will connect two of the future Metro stations: Tysons Central 123 and Tysons Central 7. Construction crews will be using the cut and cover method called the New Austrian Tunneling Method to excavate the two bores of the tunnel. The excavation begun on the east side of the outbound tunnel; after completion of the first 150 feet, the excavation will follow on the inbound tube always keeping the 150-foot distance. Sensor technology will be used to monitor the tunnel and the surrounding area for possible ground movements. The tunnel will be built as the cars are driving above the tunnel through Tysons Corner, and as the businesses and residents are going about their daily routines.
Phase 1 of the project, currently being constructed by Dulles Transit Partners, led by Bechtel, will include five new Metro stations and 11.5 miles of new track. When Phases 1 and 2 are completed, it will add 23 miles of track to the existing Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area Metro system, and will extend the system to Dulles International Airport and on to Loudoun County. The project is owned and managed by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
The Washington Post featured tunnel excavation efforts at Tysons Corner on October 18. Read the full article.

Products Liability Series: Does a Supplier of a Defective Product Have Recourse Against a Manufacturer?
By: Devin R. Bates, Benjamin D. Jackson
Category: Products Liability
Does a supplier of a defective product have recourse against a manufacturer? Yes. By statute, Arkansas has created indemnification rights accruing in favor of product suppliers. When a supplier of a defective product is not the manufacturer, the supplier "shall have a cause of action for indemnity from the manufacturer of a defective product arising from the supplying of the defective product." Ark. Code Ann. § 16-116-207. However, there is no right to indemnity when the claim for a defective product fails. Calpener v. Bluebonnet Milling Co., 322 Ark. 751, 911 S.W.2d 586 (1995) (retailer's request for litigation expenses from manufacturer was denied because summary judgment was granted on the product defect claim). While Arkansas case law is vague on the issue, commentators have suggested that a supplier may be deprived of the statutory right of indemnification against the manufacturer where the supplier is shown to be independently negligent. Robert A. Sachs, Product Liability Reform and Seller Liability: A Proposal for Change, 55 Baylor L. Rev. 1031 (2003).
Oftentimes, we see situations were a supplier seeks indemnification from a manufacturer through its contract. Under Arkansas law, an indemnity provision in a contract will be construed in accordance with the general rules for construction of a contract. Nevertheless, a non-negligent party's intention to obligate itself to indemnify a third party for the third party's own negligence is given heightened scrutiny. The intent must be expressed in clear and unequivocal terms and to the extent that no other meaning can be ascribed. Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Murphy Exploration & Prod. Co., 356 Ark. 324, 330, 151 S.W.3d 306, 310 (2004). Arkansas law allows a negligent party to be indemnified by another party for the negligent party's own negligence if the parties have specifically contracted for that outcome. See Arkansas Kraft Corp. v. Boyed Sanders Constr., 298 Ark. 36, 764 S.W.2d 452 (1989) (stating that a contract to indemnify a party for their own negligence must be expressed in unequivocal terms); United Sys. of Ark., Inc. v. Beason & Nalley, Inc., 2014 Ark. App. 650, at 4, 448 S.W.3d 731, 733-34 (2014) (citing Restatement (Third) of Torts: Apportionment of Liability § 22 (2000) for the proposition that it is possible to contract to indemnify an indemnitee for the indemnitee's own negligence but a high standard for contractual language must be met).

Pies Pip Eagles By One Point
Submitted on Fri, 07/12/2019 - 11:10 AM EDT
by Chris Kowald, reporting for AFANA from Optus Stadium, Perth
Pendlebury Evades Masten
In a pulsating Grand Final replay at the home of the reigning Premiers, the undermanned Collingwood Magpies beat the West Coast Eagles by a solitary point. It was a tough win that steadies the Pies' hope of a top two finish. Spectators were treated to an enthralling exhibition of tough competitive football between two of the league's leading teams, where neither side was prepared to surrender.
The first quarter opened with classic attacking football from both sides. A West Coast goal within the first minute had its genesis at the opening bounced down, where Nic Naitanui tapped to Andrew Gaff who kicked to Luke Shuey, who kicked to Jack Darling, who took a strong mark (caught the ball) and kicked accurately from a set shot.
Eagles Swoop On Bombers

Jarrod Cameron Marks
On a dry, calm night which was perfect for football, the West Coast Eagles comfortably defeated the Essendon Bombers to put a serious dent in the Bombers' hopes of making the finals. The Eagles dominated the game after quarter time and kept the ball in their forward half for the majority of the match. The win pushed the Eagles into the top four of the league ladder, but goal front inaccuracy cost them a golden opportunity to build on their percentage (calculated by points a team scores compared to points they concede).
Close Shave for Eagles

Eagles fans delighted
It took until the dying minutes of the game for the West Coast Eagles to overcome a spirited Collingwood Magpies in the 2nd Qualifying Final. It was the second trip to Perth for the Pies in as many weeks, and they proved that they are not overawed at the prospect of playing in front of nearly 60,000 hostile fans in the cauldron of Optus Stadium. There were a dozen lead changes over the course of the game and it could have gone either way as time ticked down. Both sides were spent, but it was Lewis Jetta who danced on a dime to put the Eagles in front when it mattered – five minutes out from the final siren.
Eagles' Fight and Height Routs Power
Submitted on Sat, 05/05/2018 - 9:45 AM EDT
Chris Kowald reporting for AFANA from Optus Stadium, Perth
The West Coast Eagles won contested possessions and used their height advantage in attack and defeated the Port Adelaide Power to record their sixth consecutive victory. Port offered little challenge, except briefly during the third quarter. Port's coach, Ken Hinkley, was obviously disappointed with his players' lack of hardness and desire to compete.
Eagles Add Heat To Beat Dockers
Submitted on Sun, 04/29/2018 - 10:48 AM EDT
Stephen Hill under pressure
Optus Stadium became an over sized pressure cooker as the temperature rose to 87 degrees Fahrenheit and the Eagles used sizzling ball movement to overcome a wounded but resolute Fremantle Dockers. A record Perth crowd of 56,521 witnessed scintillating football with several dashes of spice, which forced umpires to extinguish spot fires, as tempers rose and passions boiled over.
Relentless Eagles Send Message East
by Chris Kowald, reporting for AFANA from Perth, Australia
West Coast Eagles sent a powerful message east. From the first bounce, when Nick Naitanui flew over opposing ruckman, Stefan Martin, it was clear that the Eagles would not be dispensing Easter cheer. Brisbane though were not to be denied, Tom Rockliff was back to his best, as he showed his young charges how to draw first blood, with a goal at the three–minute mark. The Eagles responded a minute later by kicking long into the forward line.
Player Moves Around AFL
Submitted on Thu, 09/10/2015 - 7:57 PM EDT
After the Round 23 game, Gold Coast's Harley Bennell was involved in an undisclosed incident which saw him issued with a "public nuisance" notice.
It was the final straw for the Suns who have announced that he will be traded. Bennell has had a number of off-field issues, not the least of which was the publication of photographs of him apparently indulging in illicit drugs. The pictures were from a 2013 trip but were only published in the newspapers in June this year.
After this latest incident, a series of meetings were held between club officials, coaching staff, the leadership group and Bennell's management. CEO Travis Auld issued a statement confirming the decision to dump Bennell was unanimous.
Tigers Raid Lions Den
Submitted on Wed, 08/08/2012 - 6:50 AM EDT
Brook "Boris" Kilpatrick reporting for AFANA from Australia
Fresh from a hellish three week stint that netted three narrow losses, Richmond took their 7-10 record north to face the Brisbane Lions - also holders of a 7-10 record. Both teams have displayed enough during the season to suggest there are better times ahead, but with a view to further improvement in the future, a win here for either team would provide a great fillip as their seasons wind down.
As the Tigers and Lions prepared for battle, the unfamiliar sight of Brisbane veteran Simon Black in the fluoro green sub vest had the crowd and the pundits speculating on what Lions' coach Michael Voss was concocting. Opposition coach Damien Hardwick would have been delighted to see the gutsy ball magnet in Black sitting on the sidelines for the start of the contest.
High Flying Nic In Finals Form
Rick Browner reporting for AFANA from Patersons Stadium, Perth
Nic Naitanui played the best game of his career to lead the West Coast Eagles to a demolition of the Brisbane Lions at Patersons Stadium in Round 18. The Eagles needed a win to keep in touch with the Top Four with six rounds to play. Brisbane had beaten West Coast against the odds last time they played and held a winning record in the last six out of eight encounters. The Lions had every reason to go into the game with their tails up.
Eagles Secure Fourth Against Lions
Submitted on Thu, 09/01/2011 - 6:40 AM EDT
Brisbane has a good record at the Gabba and has not lost an encounter against the West Coast Eagles at its home ground in five years. Conditions were wet and slippery after six hours of torrential rain but the Eagles had a lot at stake, fighting for fourth position on the Ladder to secure a home Final. The opening of the game proved that the Lions were not going to make it easy for them.

Samegrelo – one of the richest and most beautiful regions of Georgia. Various natural sites include river canyons, bird watching spots and even alpic zones to the North of region. Come to Samegrelo, visiting the ancient historical sites, enjoy the incredible nature, the hospitality of the local people, you will never forget this trip.
Day 1. Arrival
Arrival at the Tbilisi (Kutaisi) International Airport. Transfer to the hotel.
Overnight in Tbilisi (Kutaisi)
Day 2. Tbilisi – Nokalakevi – Shkhepi fortess - Teklati Monastery –Abedati fortess - Martvili
Departure to Samegrelo region. Visiting the fortress city of Nokalakevi – the capital of Egrisi, the site of the legendary city of Aya, where, according to legend, the Argonauts sailed. A Georgian city has been located on this site since ancient times. Greek authors called it Archeopolis, but in older Georgian chronicles the city was known as Tsikhe – Goji. According to historical chronicles, the city was founded by the eristavi Egrisi Kuji in the 3rd century BC.
Shkhepi Fortress – considered to be a very ancient building. For the fortress, such a mountain was selected, from where the Colchis lowland is visible at a glance. Observation from here could be carried out over a vast territory, the castle directly controlled the main highway passing at the foot of the mountain. Now the central tower, the heavily damaged eastern tower and the foundation of the western part have remained from the fortress.
Teklat Monastery played an important role in the history of the cultural life of Samegrelo. At the monastery, a women's school named after St. Nino and a printing house functioned.

The main part of the waterfall flows out of the cave, the total length of which is 1300 m. Several karst halls of the cave are named by different names. One of the most outstanding stalagmites reaches 7 meters in height. The water flow in the cave forms four underground lakes and, finally, leaving the cave, a cascade of Toba waterfalls is formed with a height of 234 meters.
Oniore Wterfall is actually a hanging stream, the origin of which is associated with the tectonic features of the area. Groundwater seeps into the Abasha River basin after passing underground for some distance, underground streams come out into daylight in the form of spectacular waterfalls, the exit of which opens right on a steep slope of a 300-meter cliff.

The cave is decorated with almost all kinds of molten forms – stalactites and helicites. The walls are decorated with "stone waterfalls". A stream of water passes through the cave. The local population used the cave to treat asthma, and dwellings of primitive hominids were found in the caves of Kaliconi and Letzurtsume.
Lugela resort, another popular place in Chkhorotsku, is also located in the village of Mukhuri. Here the mountain air, saturated with ozone, mixes with the sea, which makes it truly healing.

Overnight in Tsalenjikha
Day 6. Tsalendjikha - Enguri dam - Zugdidi
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior was built in the XII-XIV centuries by the order of the rulers of Samegrelo Dadiani. In the northwestern part of the wall that surrounds the church, there is a two-story bell tower. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Tsalenjikha is known for its unique Renaissance frescoes, which were made by an artist hired from Constantinople, Manuel Evgenikos, as evidenced by the inscription on one of the pillars of the temple.
The Enguri hydroelectric power station is the largest hydroelectric power station in the Caucasus and the largest arch dam in the world. It is located on the Inguri River near the city of Jvari. The observation deck offers a beautiful panorama of the reservoir and mountains. It's not just a dam, it's something more. The length of the reservoir reaches 27 km, and the water in it is as blue as the sky. The place makes you admire the incredible size and beautiful landscapes.
Tsaishi Cathedral. The monastery was one of the main places for the spread of education, since a school functioned under it. At present, in addition to the cathedral, a bell tower, a fence and a gate have been preserved. It is worth paying attention to the very beautiful stone carving on the apse of the temple, which has a very considerable historical value. Behind the temple fence you can see a garden with palm trees. a huge linden grows in the courtyard of the church, its age is estimated at 600 years.
Tsaishi is known for its hyperthermal and hypothermal mineral waters, the healing properties of which were described by ancient historians. They mention Tsaishi as a place where, in addition to magnificent nature, there is an ancient source of healing water. At the place where the source flowed, a pool lined with hewn stone was found on the surface of the earth. Near the springs there are 25 meter trees, whose age reaches 500 years. Such a plant is Dzelkva, which has survived only in Japan and Georgia.
Visit to the Dadiani Museum – one of the treasures of Georgia. This family nest serves as an indisputable proof of the former greatness of the city. The surname Dadiani belongs to an ancient aristocratic family, known for its relationship with Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon's nephew Askil Murat was married to one of the princesses of Dadiani). In this regard, the princes of Dadiani got a large number of relics, one way or another connected with Napoleon. Among them are pieces of furniture, personal items, even one of the three death masks of the emperor.
Zugdidi Botanical Garden – built in the last century near the Dadiani Palace, as a decorative garden of the residence. To create it, the ruler of Samegrelo, the princess, had to invite the most eminent gardeners of the 19th century from Europe. On the basis of this garden, a botanical garden was formed with a total area of 26.4 hectares. Some trees in the garden are 200 years old and are the only specimens on the entire Eurasian continent.

Pink it: Why female hunters are advocating for less pink
01/8/18 10:00 AM | by Jacki Billings

Amid measures green lighting its use as a safety color in three states, blaze pink is faltering in stores and among female hunters.
In late 2017, retailers in Wisconsin reported that its stock of blaze pink apparel moved off shelves at a much slower pace than blaze orange.
"We haven't had a huge response to it," Nate Scherper, Vice President of Sherper's told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We've really had very few people looking to buy it." He added, "Most of our female customers prefer the orange over the pink."
Sherper's says roughly 95-percent of its hunting apparel comes in blaze orange with only 5 percent offered in blaze pink.
Mills Fleet Farm, also located in Wisconsin, reported less than 10 percent of its goods colored pink, but said that sales had been moderate. "The vast majority of our sales are still blaze orange, however," said Tim Geschke, the store's assistant manager.
The most recent data regarding female hunters collected in 2016 by the National Sporting Goods Association showed the number of women downing deers and ducks made up about 13 percent of American hunters, totaling 3.3 million at that time.
The industry as a whole has worked to incorporate and encourage women to take up the shooting sports, but some say the focus on frilly colors might actually have the opposite effect.
"I think it's really misguided," Sarah Ingle, president of the Women's Hunting and Sporting Association, told the publication. "Among the group of women I hunt with, we find it insulting and demeaning."
While Ingle adamantly contends the color conjures negative connotations, hunter and creator of the Hunt, Fish, Travel podcast, Carrie Zylka, offers a more indifferent approach.
"I really applaud them for trying to do something to promote women in the outdoors and elicit new hunters," Zylka told National Geographic. "I think that the money invested would have been better placed in some of the outdoor programs like Being an Outdoors Woman, because, realistically, blaze pink or blaze orange, it really doesn't matter."
Though some feel the color pink deters female hunters, there are those that prefer the bright femininity that pink flaunts.
"I think the pink is awesome; even the young girls like that," Liz Menninger, of New York, told The New York Times. Menninger, an avid hunter, whole-heartedly endorsed the introduction of pink in the state's approved safety color options.
Colorado Sen. Kerry Donovan, who pushed for her state to allow pink in the field, said the inclusion of pink sends a resounding message to girls that they too belong in the hunting arena.
"When I was growing up hunting, I very literally wore the hand-me-downs of my brothers," Donovan told The InDenver Times. "There was this clear message that as a young girl, I didn't belong in hunting."
Regardless of whether pink empowers or detracts from female hunters, one thing seems to remain certain — retailers aren't feeling a big push to carry more in store.
"I think it was played up in (Wisconsin) and some excitement was generated about it," Scherper said. "But from our standpoint, it wasn't going to be revolutionary and so far it hasn't been."

FEAST OF THE SEVEN SORROWS OF MARY
FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE, FRANCE (1846)
ST. PADRE PIO AND LUISA PICCARRETA
St. Padre Pio and Luisa Piccarreta, Servant of God, The Little Daughter of the Divine Will
an excerpt from the book
LUISA PICCARRETA collection of memories of the Servant of God
BERNARDINO GIUSEPPE BUCCI, O.F.M.
Blessed Padre Pio, Luisa Piccarreta and Rosaria Bucci
Luisa Piccarreta and Blessed Padre Pio of Pietrelcina knew one another for some time without ever having met, for Luisa was always confined to the bed where she sat, while Padre Pio was enclosed in the friary of the Capuchin Fathers of San Giovanni Rotondo.5
One question naturally arises, how did they come to know one another?
This is difficult to discover, yet one thing is certain, that the two did know and esteem one another.
My aunt recounts how Luisa would speak with respect and veneration of the blessed father, describing him as a "true man of God", who still had great suffering to face for the good of souls.
In about 1930, a well-known figure arrived at Luisa's house, sent personally by Padre Pio. He was Federico Abresch, a convert of Padre Pio. Federico spoke at length with Luisa. What they said we are not given to know; but one thing is certain. Federico Abresch became an apostle of the Divine Will and regularly visited Luisa, with whom he always had long conversations.
When his little son received his first communion from Padre Pio's hands, he was also immediately taken to see Luisa who, according to the story, foretold that he would become a priest.
The small boy of that time is now a priest and works at the Congregation for Bishops in Rome; he is known by the name of Mgr. Pio Abresch.
When Luisa was condemned by the Holy Office and her works put on the Index, Padre Pio sent her this message though Federico Abresch: "Dear Luisa, saints serve for the good of souls, but their suffering knows no bounds". At that time Padre Pio was also in very great difficulties.
Blessed Padre Pio sent many people to Luisa Piccarreta and would say to the people of Corato who went to San Giovanni Rotondo: "What have you come here for? You have Luisa, go to her".
Padre Pio recommended to certain of his faithful (including Federico Abresch) that they open a spirituality center at San Giovanni Rotondo, inspired by the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.
Miss Adriana Pallotti (a spiritual daughter of Padre Pio) is currently an heir to Padre Pio's wishes. She has opened a House of the Divine Will at San Giovanni Rotondo, keeping alive the torch lit by Padre Pio with Federico Abresch. Miss Adriana Pallotti says that it was Blessed Padre Pio who encouraged her to spread Luisa Piccarreta's spirituality in San Giovanni Rotondo and to help disseminate the Divine Will throughout the world, as Padre Pio desired.
Aunt Rosaria went regularly to San Giovanni Rotondo, especially after Luisa's death. Padre Pio knew her very well, and when Luisa was still alive he would ask Aunt Rosaria when he saw her: "Rosa', how is Luisa?".
Aunt Rosaria would answer him: "She is well!".
After Luisa's death, Aunt Rosaria increased her visits to San Giovanni Rotondo, in order to receive enlightenment and advice from Padre Pio.
Aunt Rosaria was the one lamp that stayed alight to resolve Luisa Piccarreta's case regarding the sentence of the Holy Office, visiting various ecclesiastical figures and, in addition, confronting the Congregation of the Holy Office. Once she managed – it is not known how – to enter the office of the Cardinal Prefect, Ottaviani, who heard her kindly and promised to take up the case.
Indeed, a few days later, Aunt Rosaria was summoned by Archbishop Addazi of Trani, who said to her: "Miss Rosaria, I do not know whether to reprimand you or to admire you for your courage. You have faced the guard dog of the Church, the great defender of the faith, without being bitten".
The conclusion was that permission was obtained to move Luisa's body from the cemetery to the Church of Santa Maria Greca.
Luisa said to my aunt: "You will be my witness" and one day Padre Pio told her point-blank in his Benevento dialect: "Rosa', va nanz, va nanz ca Luisa iè gran e u munn sarà chin di Luisa" (Rosaria, go ahead, go ahead for Luisa is great and the world will be full of Luisa). My aunt often recounted this episode, but things were not going well: everything indicated that Luisa would soon be forgotten.
After the venerated Padre Pio's death, my aunt said one day: "Padre Pio prophesied that Luisa would be known throughout the world". And she repeated the phrase Padre Pio had said in his dialect.
I answered that there would be no easy solution to the case of Luisa Piccarreta Indeed nothing further was said of it in Corato either, and Padre Pio's words could have been considered merely a comforting remark. But Aunt Rosaria retorted: "No! During my confession Padre Pio told me that Luisa is not a human factor, she is a work of God and he himself will make her emerge. The world will be astounded at her greatness; not many years will pass before this happens. The new millennium will see Luisa's light".
I was silent at this assertion and my aunt asked me: "But do you believe in Luisa?".
I answered her that I did.
Then she said to me: "Come to my house in a few days' time, because I have something very important to tell you".
It was during the 70s and Padre Pio had been dead for a several years.

The emir of Qatar has become the first Arab leader to voice support for military intervention in Syria should the bloodshed continue there. Does that mean Doha is aligned with the West's agenda in the region?
Sheikh Hamd bin Khalifa Al Thani made the statement during his interview with US news channel CBS. Speaking about the conflict in Syria, Sheik Hamad said "For such a situation to stop the killing, some troops should go to stop the killing."
Patrick Henningsen, an associate editor for infowars.com told RT that Qatar is aligned with the US in destabilizing Syria, as it was in Libya.
The statement by Qatari leader comes amid growing criticism of the Arab League observer mission to Syria for failing to stop the bloodshed in Syria, which has already claimed over 5,000 lives according to UN estimates.
The organization's chief, Nabil al-Arabi, said on Saturday the league would reassess the work of its mission at a meeting later this month. "There has been partial progress until now but there is daily bloodshed in Syria that the League aims to end," he told Agence France Presse.
However, Henningsen expressed doubts about the Arab League's capability to assess the situation in Syria. "The countries that represent the Arab League are petrol monarchy dictatorships. I don't think the Arab League has a real democracy mandate. It's a bit of an oxymoron," he said.
Also on Saturday there were reports from a major opposition group that a Syrian brigadier-general had defected to Turkey, becoming the highest-ranking officer to flee Bashar Assad's army.
The Syrian National Council said that Mostafa Ahmad al-Sheik had joined the Free Syrian Army, a group of army defectors fighting the regime.
President Bashar Assad has stated that the violence in the country has been organized by armed terrorist groups orchestrated from abroad.

New Public CNG Station Opens In Orlando, Fla.
Officials from the city of Orlando and state of Florida joined representatives of ampCNG, Trillium CNG and Frito-Lay North America in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new fast-fill compressed natural gas (CNG) station located at 2920 Silver Star Road in Orlando.
The station is located at Lewis Petroleum's Silver Star Fuelman in the Princeton Industrial Park, just two blocks from Frito-Lay North America's Orlando plant. Frito-Lay selected Trillium CNG to build natural gas infrastructure to fuel its fleet of CNG tractor-trailers.
The amp Trillium station will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It will have two dual-hose dispensers, allowing two semitrailers to fuel at the same time. The station also features Trillium CNG's 10 GGE per minute fast-fill hydraulic intensifier compressor.
"We're committed to supporting Frito-Lay's North America's CNG fueling infrastructure build-out plan. This station has the added benefit of providing 24/7 CNG fueling for heavy-duty trucking in the area due to the station's proximity to Interstate 4 and the East-West Expressway," said Mary Boettcher, president, Trillium CNG.
"This CNG station in Orlando is an important addition to our CNG network across the U.S.," said Nate Laurell, CEO of ampCNG. It connects southern Florida to CNG infrastructure throughout the southeast, creating an opportunity for local and regional fleets to realize the economic and environmental benefits of CNG."
