American Literature of the Sea and Great Lakes
GREAT LAKES CHANTEYS. Commercial sailing on the Great Lakes made its short-lived beginning with the launching of the Griffon, built near Niagara Falls in 1679 by Rene Robert Cavelier, de la Salle, known to history as La Salle, for fur trade to the Upper Lakes. The ship made its first voyage that year, wintering at Green Bay, Wisconsin, and vanished the next year on its return voyage loaded with furs, thus giving rise to numerous myths and legends. However, the Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813, a major American victory over the British, opened up that part of the Northwest Territory, including the northern part of Ohio, a state since 1803, and what were to become Indiana (1816), Illinois (1818), Michigan (1837), and Wisconsin (1848) to settlement, both by Americans and by new immigrants from Northern Europe.
The result was an active sailing packet service, especially after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 permitted passage by water from the East Coast to increasing numbers of Great Lakes destinations. The discovery of iron ore and copper in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 1844 contributed to the accelerated construction of hundreds of a relatively standard three-masted schooner for both passenger and commercial trade. That construction was further accelerated by the growing lumber industry in Michigan and, later, Wisconsin.
Although steam came to the Lakes as early as 1818, when the Walk-in- the-Water was launched near Buffalo, commercial traffic was dominated by the schooners until near the end of the nineteenth century. With the decline of the lumber trade and the emergence of the modern Lakes-style bulk carrier, commercial sailing went into an irreversible decline. It ended in the fall of 1930, when the last commercial schooner, Our Son, a pulpwood carrier built in Lorain, Ohio, in the 1870s, was wrecked on the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan.
During the three-quarters of a century when schooner traffic dominated the Lakes, a chanteying tradition emerged. Strongly influenced by the saltwater tradition and undoubtedly brought to the Lakes by saltwater sailors, Great Lakes chanteys quickly took on characteristics unique to the circumstances of Great Lakes sailing. As was true of sea chanteys during the nineteenth century, Great Lakes chanteys were work songs. Like their saltwater counterparts, the verses of Great Lakes chanteys were generally of anonymous, perhaps collective evolutionary authorship, with the chanteyman (often but not always a petty officer) singing the verses, often to traditional tunes, and the rest of the men singing the alternating chorus. The combination provided the spirit as well as the rhythms by which lines were hauled, capstans turned, and windlasses and pumps worked, as demanded not only by the operation of the ship but by the peculiar geography of the Lakes themselves.
The geography of the Lakes is defined by the five individual lakes—Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario—joined by narrow connecting bodies of water of varying lengths with a variety of hazards. Lake voyages are traditionally short, marked by a limited sailing season, and further restricted by a limited number of points of departure and destination. Storms on the Great Lakes, particularly at the end of the shipping season, can be intense. All of these elements found their way into the verses and choruses of Great Lakes chanteys.
One typical chantey tells the story of a long haul up-lake from Buffalo to Chicago. First the schooner gets under way as the chanteyman sings: "When the mate calls up all hands/ To man the capstan, walk 'er round,/ We'll heave 'er up lads with a will,/ For we are homeward bound." Then the crew at the capstan takes up the chorus, an echo of the saltwater version, which replaces "Chicago" with "New England" in the penultimate line: "Rolling home, rolling home,/ Rolling home across the sea,/ Rolling home to old Chicago, Rolling home, old town, to thee!" Clearing Buffalo harbor, the schooner tacks up-lake across Lake Erie against the wind. Then, entering the Detroit River for transit via Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River to Lake Huron, it is taken in tow by a steam tug, as many schooners were in the last years of sailing on the Lakes. Then, after another chorus, the schooner is again under sail. Through the straits and down the long length of Lake Michigan, chorus and verse are strong: "Soon, my boys, the trip is done,/ And there is no more to say,/ We'll go down to old Black Pete's,/ And spend our whole damned pay."
In another chantey, the chanteyman takes a three-masted schooner up- lake as he recounts the shortcomings of the captain, the mate, the food, and the weather, finally concluding as the ship turns back down the Lakes: "And now we're bound down the Lakes, let 'er roar,/ Hurrah, boys, heave 'er down!/ And on this old scow we'll never ship more,/ Way down, laddies, down!"
Chanteymen on Lakes schooners, like their counterparts at sea, were valuable crewmen, providing leadership and spirit as they sang from their repertoire and improvised freely on subjects ranging from the weather and the food, to the virtues or lack of virtues of young ladies in port towns from Buffalo, New York, to Duluth, Minnesota. A unique feature of Great Lakes chanteying was the fact that the chanteys were often heard ashore, not only as the schooners entered or cleared port but also as the sailors made or took in sail in the narrow waterways between the Lakes. Often, too, at night, schooners were warned of others nearby by the sound of chanteys echoing over the water.
The decline in sailing and the subsequent decline in chanteying were rapid after 1890. Not only did donkey engines increasingly power capstans and raise sails, but many schooners were converted to barges, ending their days ignominiously in tow by steam tugs. The great storms, especially that of 8 November 1913, took a heavy toll, and many Lakes schooners were pressed into the Atlantic coastal trade during World War I. By 1930, with the wreck of Our Son, commercial sailing and chanteys passed from the Lakes. [See also CLEMENS, SAMUEL LANGHORNE; GREAT LAKES BALLADS; GREAT LAKES MYTHS AND LEGENDS; SEA MUSIC]
FURTHER READING: Few chanteys or studies of chanteys have found their way into print. See David D. Anderson, "Songs and Sayings of the Lakes," Midwest Folklore 12 (Spring 1962): 5-16. Chanteying remains an oral tradition, passed onto me by my grandfather, William E. Foster (1869-1951), who sailed the Lakes as a young man. The oral tradition is best preserved today by Lee Murdock, whose recordings of chanteys and ballads of the Lakes include "Songs of the Sweetwater Seas," "Voices across the Water," "Cold Winds," "Safe in the Harbor," and others, available from Depot Recordings, Kaneville, IL 60144-0011. The Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan houses the best collection of sources of chanteys.

"A Witch!": On Women's Intuition and Men Behaving Badly
By Mackenzie Mays
on September 29, 2014 in Feminism
Share this article, or skip to the article
A few years ago, when my brother's girlfriend was pregnant, my mom called to tell me that nearly the entire carton of eggs in the fridge had double yolks inside.
"It means your brother is going to have twins." (Obviously.) That idea popped into her head with the first egg, but she kept going. Two yellow yolks plopped out of several eggs.
People were obligated to eat a lot of eggs that day, and an ultrasound later showed my brother's girlfriend was pregnant with twins.
Now, my favorite aunt – my mom's baby sister and a kindergarten teacher as innocent and kind as a kindergarten teacher – is asking me how to reach Stevie Nicks by fan mail.
"The song 'Landslide' has helped me a lot during this. I would like to tell Stevie how her music has helped my soul. Any ideas how? I'll send her a special envelope so it stands out. I love you! I'm going to make it through this."
^An actual text from my actual aunt.
A few weeks ago, she awoke panicked from a dream that my uncle, her husband of more than 25 years, had been cheating on her.
Had she called anyone but my mother, they would've told her that it was a just a dream. It probably means you're insecure about work or something. Have you been watching The Laci Peterson Story again?
But she didn't. She called my mom. And my mom gave her an ominous, "well, keep your eyes open."
Later that day, my aunt found an extra float in their pool and Malibu Rum in my whiskey-drinking uncle's liquor cabinet. He admitted he'd been fucking his secretary for months (cliche, I know) – including the night she dreamt of it.
Mom says she knew he was cheating as soon as she heard her sister say, "hello" on the phone that day.
My mom – A Southern Christian Woman – laughs when I call her a witch. She prefers words like "intuition" or "providence." But there is something to be said about a woman's instinct that is mostly out to help fellow women – like there is some unseen feminist force that's pushing us to politely tuck each other's spiritual tags back into our dresses when they slip out in public. To brush the hair from our eyes.
I had a dream, too. In college, I dreamt that my boyfriend cheated on me with a girl I had never met – someone that, as far as I knew, was his first high school girlfriend and long gone. When I woke up, the dream bothered me so much that I pulled up her Facebook page, enlarged a picture of her face and turned my laptop around so she could stare at him while I measured his reaction.
Yeah, he acted a little freaked out. But who wouldn't? I'm not proud.
I found out 6 months later that he had in fact cheated on me with her one drunken night after a big fight – only days before the laptop incident.
I knew that. I saw it on his face that night, but I suppressed it. I would've sounded crazy, I thought.
He called his best friend after my weird Facebook intimidation tactic and told him about it. They joked that I was a witch.
Historically, we were called witches because we were smarter than men. We called them out. We stood up for our injustices. We were different and went our own way. Or at least, we tried.
As much as I would like to believe it, the women in my family have no real super powers. Trust me, I have stared at many a pint of Häagen–Dazs in my day, and none have levitated toward me.
But I do believe that some of us are a little more tuned in than others. That's because we've had women who have fostered our intuition. I know the power of it and its purpose. I know what that old woman told my grandmother at the carnival decades ago and how it made her feel. I know that her best friend called her crying in the middle of the night about a knot in her stomach that she worried was somehow tied to her son's safety just minutes before she got the call that he'd been killed.
My friends joke about me being a witch because I always guess who's going to date before they're dating and how the movie ends. But when I tell them my stories and tell them that they have it too – that they need to just listen, I see it in them. I know that they're trying to follow it.
I'm not sure why it seems like my clan's main ability is to unveil cheating scoundrel menz, but I'll take it. It might sound superficial. But I chalk it up to generations of bad luck with bad men, and leagues of strong women who only made it through because of – you guessed it – other women.
No matter what you call it, A Woman's Instinct is there. It rises from the hot cups of coffee you share and hovers over the room when you find yourself together, chatting with all your closest women – your mother, your grandmother, your sisters, your cousins, your aunts and great aunts.
It's there when you run home for refuge and drop your bags and let out a cry that you'd held all the way up until that point. It's there in their faces that say "welcome home" when they could say "I told you so."
And it's the very thing that you feel when a coworker touches your arm or asks if you're OK when you haven't said a thing about what's going on. It's when you can't help but feel your friend's pain like it's your own. And it becomes a problem when the signs and bad feelings aren't just about your own life.
Do you tell? Do you leave it alone? How could you expect her to not get mad when you're pushing her to act on your "bad feeling?"
Earlier this year, someone besides me called my mother out about her witchiness. A guest pastor at her church – a woman – was preaching about how she had awoken in the middle of the night with an urge to visit a certain area she had never been to in her new neighborhood. In the early morning hours, she drove to a street busy with drug dealers and sex workers. Now she holds a special service for those drug dealers and sex workers every week – separate from her normal Sunday sermon to accommodate their night shifts. It's always packed.
The pastor interrupted her story to proclaim that there was another woman in the building who had the same gift as her – the gift of simply "knowing."
When my mom ignored her, the woman described her outfit. "You, back row, black shirt."
"Do you want to tell us what your gift is?"
She didn't. She shrugged it off – said there was nothing special about her.
It doesn't matter what you believe in as long as you believe in women and in yourself.

Summary: The love-for-life story eventually comes across as a grown up elegy to Eastenders rather than the poignant witness to an unrequited love it should be.
That Peter O'Toole's days as Hollywood royalty are behind him has never been more than a passing comment one would throw whilst remembering his many memorable roles, the most remarkable being his winning turn as the conflicted and enigmatic T.E. Lawrence in David Lean's epic masterpiece "Lawrence of Arabia", to name but one.
Yet with Venus, Roger Mitchell's warm-hearted comedy based on an original screenplay by Hanif Kureishi, not only has O'Toole turned in what could easily stand as one of the performances of his career, but also managed to land himself another – his eight, in fact – Oscar nomination for his role as Maurice, an ageing actor long past his prime, who falls for a beautiful, albeit foul mouthed, adolescent.
Maurice's idle time is spent reminescing about the good old days and throwing chirpy jokes at best mate Ian (Leslie Phillips), a fellow actor himself. The seeming dullness of their everyday encounters is soon to take an unexpected turn with the visit of Ian's grand-niece, the less-than-mannered Jamie, a crude, undereducated Yorkshire teenager with glamorous dreams of a Hollywood lifestyle in her mind but the reality of having to tend for her great-uncle thrown at her. Which she clearly doesn't do. Instead, she slowly builds a courting cross-generational relationship with Maurice which soon blossoms into a honest, fully fledged friendship that recalls Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation" in many ways.
So what to make of a film that's at the brink of becoming better remembered for its central performance rather than the story it is about? Not much really. Venus is the kind of cross-generational love story Hollywood seems to have stopped making years ago, a subtle nod to the kind of understated, Woody Allensque romances that are rare to come by nowadays.
Unfortunately, for all its good intentions, the rest of the film has a tough time sustaining the weight of O'Toole's towering performance. It is a disappointment then, that the story is the kind of love-for-life clichéd pastiche that will go down well on a Sunday afternoon in between washing the dishes, reading the weekend papers and nodding off.
Played by Jodie Whitaker with the right amount of young-girl-from-the-suburbs naivety you'd expect, Jamie is all seductive whispers, flirty smiles and a mouth as filthy as a bag of rats on the London underground – a complete opposite to O'Toole's composed, self-aware, age-bitten Maurice. That Maurice is a direct reflection of O'Toole would come as no surprise, and it makes the film all the more poignant.
All that said, there is something decidedly un-chaste about Maurice and Jessie's relationship, their afternoon shopping trips and coffee encounters, yet the execution comes off as mushy at times. The love-for-life story eventually comes across as a grown up elegy to Eastenders rather than the poignant witness to an unrequited love it should be. Never mind the great performances or the fair script, Venus is a good but never great. As far as British films go, it is unlikely to leave a noticeable dent anywhere but (whisper it) on O'Toole's awards list.

TOKYO — Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto isn't letting trade rumours become a distraction either at home or in Japan, where he is currently part of an MLB All-Star tour.
Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill has dismissed talk about trading Realmuto, but the catcher's agent, Jeff Berry, predicted his client will be with a different team by spring training.
Meanwhile, Realmuto is having a blast in Japan. He homered in Thursday's warmup against the Yomiuri Giants, which the MLB squad won 9-6. He is scheduled to be behind the plate in Game 2 of the six-game series against Japan's national team at Tokyo Dome.

Q: Управление окнами и менеджер окон Необходимо написать приложение ,которое реализует систему управления окнами.
В системы должны присутствовать два обязательных класса:

*

*Базовый класс окна

*Менеджер окон

Требования к данной системе:

*

*Запуск окна происходит через единственную функцию, при этом менеджер окон запоминает порядок запуска окон и никогда его не меняет.

*Должна быть возможность переопределения порядка отображения окон, пример: окно, которое всегда отображается поверх других окон.
Нельзя использовать сырую память.И нужно использовать библиотеку STL
Для визуализации можно использовать любою Api.

Набросок кода сделал,но как сделать класс Менеджера ,не понимаю.

Mountain Stories: Almost All the News — Part of the Time
In 1947, Dior introduced the "New Look" in Paris; Al Capone died; the first Volkswagen Beetle arrived in the U.S.; and the Allies were still signing peace treaties with Italy, Hungary and Romania. The Polaroid Land camera was introduced, and the U.S. Congress was televised for the first time. The Voice of America beamed into Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union as the Truman Doctrine was proclaimed. Plenty of disasters too: Train wreck in Japan, Illinois coal mine explosion, industrial blast in Los Angeles, dance hall fire in Berlin. Poland fell to the Soviets. "Best Years of Our Lives" won an Oscar for Best Picture.
And this was all in the first ninety days of the year.
But up here in Idyllwild, Calif. in 1947, Ernie (Emax) Maxwell offers his wife, Betty (Emax) an acorn biscuit at a ceremony, which she accepts, as he wrote years later, "suspiciously."
A few months earlier, these two had started an 11 by 16 weekly mimeographed sheet they called the Idyllwild Town Crier, which is still, almost 67 years later, the glue that holds together this little mountain town of three to four thousand intrepid souls. (It's possible the Census Bureau counted, in 2010, a few squirrels too.)
Almost all the news — part of the time. The mimeographed sheet is long gone, but not the Sturm und Drang of small town life or the motto of this truly local still-weekly paper — now owned by Tindle Newspaper Group of Farnham, Surrey, U.K. * Such is our modern life. But the masthead still carries the motto, and Ernie's two illustrations: the sun coming up over these mountains, and an open-mouthed little character, the town crier himself.
The above photograph (squirrel at table) was published by Ernie Maxwell in 1984, in a booklet called The Emax 1984 Almanac: Fact & Fancy, Lore & Legend, Wit & Wisdom of the San Jacinto Mountains and Its Hillfolks . . . Betty had died in 1977, at 71.
To give you an idea of Idyllwild around the time of the founding of its newspaper, I turn to the Almanac for the following information:
The Idyllwild Community Building was dedicated on July 10, 1947. (N.B.: It's now called Town Hall, but, there's no town. Idyllwild is not incorporated. It's only "law" so to speak, is Riverside County and its sheriff's deputies.)
The Idyllwild Chamber of Commerce was incorporated on February 6, 1946 (And has been contentious to this day. See photograph below.)
The 1950 census revealed 475 year-round residents in Pine Cove, Idyllwild, and Mountain Center.
In 1954 the town was battling over zoning. "With so many people operating businesses out of their homes and on side streets, the job was a complicated one." A zoning plan was adopted.
"The Banning-Idyllwild highway was dedicated three times before it was paved and officially opened for traffic in 1951."
Much more to be said about Ernie and Betty Maxwell later. But Ernie hand-lettered the Town Crier's main headline even long after the Maxwells sold the paper, in 1972, to Luther and Marilyn Weare.
But for now, here is the front page of the current Town Crier (www.idyllwildtowncrier.com)
Ernie Maxwell died in 1994.
In 1988, when the old Scenic Trail was renamed the "Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail," Emax told a reporter at the Los Angeles Times he was still writing about what Maxwell "wryly calls the 'urban-wildlands interface issue. That's the one that deals with more people moving to the hills.'" Maxwell also added, "We've made our own rules here for so long that compliance with those of inspectors' comes hard. There was a time when it was every man for himself, but there were so few of us it didn't matter.'"
*July update: The Town Crier was recently purchased by its former editor, Becky Clark.
This is the tenth in the series, Mountain Stories.

Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. , (born Nov. 29, 1908, New Haven, Conn., U.S.—died April 4, 1972, Miami, Fla.), black American public official and pastor who became a prominent liberal legislator and civil-rights leader.
Powell was the son of the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York City. Brought up in a middle-class home, he received his B.A. from Colgate University (Hamilton, N.Y.) in 1930 and his M.A. from Columbia University in 1932. He succeeded his father as pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in 1937 and eventually built up its membership to 13,000 people. With the church as his power base, Powell was able to build a formidable public following in Harlem through his crusades for jobs and housing for the poor. He won election to the New York City Council in 1941, becoming the first black man to serve on that body. In 1945 he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from Harlem. There he began a long fight against racial segregation. He served 11 successive terms in the House and became chairman of its Education and Labor Committee in 1960. In that capacity he played a leading role in the passage of a minimum wage act, antipoverty acts, and bills supporting manpower training and federal aid to education, about 50 major pieces of social legislation in all.
Powell's outspoken opposition to racism and his flamboyant lifestyle made him enemies, however, and in the early 1960s he became involved in a lawsuit with a woman who claimed he had wrongly accused her of collecting police graft. He was cited for contempt of court in 1966 for refusing to pay damages, and in 1967 the House voted to deprive him of his seat. He was nevertheless reelected in his district in 1968 but was then deprived by his colleagues in the House of his committee chairmanship and his seniority. In 1969 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the action of the House in depriving him of his seat had been unconstitutional, but by that time Powell's health was failing. After his defeat in the Democratic

Few places are as obsessed with the paranormal as New Jersey, and the area, once known as West Jersey, is a hotbed of paranormal activity. As a participant in local paranormal investigations, Kelly Lin Gallagher-Roncace has the goosebumps to prove it. She recounts her research and experiences in her newly released book, "Haunted Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland Counties," and will be on hand for a book signing at Old Town Hall Museum in Mullica Hill on Sunday, Oct. 15, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Books will be available for purchase.
Roncace began her writing career as a news reporter, but switched directions to become a features writer in 2009. Soon she began writing a popular weekly column, "Paranormal Corner," exploring the unexplained with a team of paranormal investigators. In 2015, she received a third place award in entertainment writing from the New Jersey Press Association. She now enjoys writing about legends and mysterious happenings throughout the state.
"Weird South Jersey" features photographic images by New Jersey artists. A selection of unusual objects from the society's collection, most on exhibition for the first time, accompanies the works of art. Artifacts include 19th and early 20th century funeral registers from Mullica Hill's James M. Wolf Funeral Parlor, the wallet and its contents that a local soldier carried with him throughout World War I and a 108 year old bottle of wine commemorating a 1909 wedding in Richwood.
"Weird South Jersey" opens Saturday, Oct. 14, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the same day as the society's popular Ghost Walk that takes place that evening starting at 6:30 pm. The Museum remains open Saturdays and Sundays, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., through Dec. 9, and admission is free. Old Town Hall Museum is located at 62 South Main St., in the heart of Mullica Hill's National Register Historic District. For more information, call (856) 478–4949 or visit www.harrisonhistorical.com.

It's been three days since boxing day and I've been shopping every day and have come home with quite a bit of stuff. I've been to Boots, Next, TK Maxx, Home Bargains and Peacocks.
This post has just got the things I got in days one and two. I haven't had much motivation to take pictures or even switch on my laptop so apologies for the lack of posts.
I always get a lot of hair products in the Boots sale and this year was no exception. Toni and Guy being the main brand of choice. This wasn't intentional they just seemed to have the best sets this year.
I'm not sure what this set was called as I've got rid of all the packaging but I think it was the Tousled Waves or something like that. It was £7 and has Shampoo and Conditioner which are both full size 250ml and are £6.49 each (they are on 3 for 2) Sea Salt spray and a comb.
The next set I got was the playful volume which was only £5.00 It has mini shampoo, conditioner. The Glamour hairspray which I love and keep thinking once I'm out of all my other hair spray I will buy a full sized. A heat protector spray and two spin pins.
The next two I've merged together as I'm sharing it with my mum and she's taken some things out. I'm not sure if I've got the full contents together.
These makeup bags designed by Mathew Willamson are so pretty we couldn't resist. One bag was £6 and the other £10. The big bag had shampoo, conditioner and a dry shampoo i think. The smaller bag has Dry Shampoo, Hair Sray and heat protector spray.
The White Collection set of body wash and body lotion. I think this was pretty good value full price but for £3 it was too good to resist. These will be prefect for trips away. I'm bad for not using body lotion at home but when I'm away I always feel like I nee some.
Each one smells amazing. I'm also not keeping them for best one has gone into the bathroom ready to be used.
These hand creams were the only Item I really wanted from the boots sale. I've using a Crabtree and Evelyn handcream that I got from the PS Bloggers meet up goodie bag and I have a couple of their nail polishes, I love the two at each end I haven't smelt the middle one but I'm not a huge fan of rose scents so It might not get used.
The final boots Item is another hair product this time and Umberto Gianni dazzel shine set. This has shampoo, conditioner, shine spray and a tin of hair pins and blonde grips.
I was really disappointed with the next sale. I mean the sales are a chance to dig out the crap and this year was no exception. They had things we bought in the sale three years ago. They also had a phone call from head office shouting at staff because they were £2000 an hour down on last year. Well I'm not suprised there was so little stuff. I know they keep bringing stuff out but it was all really odd sizes (size 16s smaller than an 8s and not just one of two things) Sorry this isn't a rant on Next as I did get some cute things.
As we all know I'm doing JYC. Well meant to be I've only done 6 pages and have no motivation to catch up just yet.
I got some bakers twine type stuff and ribbon. Tissue paper that can be used all year round and some cute stamps.
I also got some black and white leopard print hareem pants. I haven't taken a picture of them yet but I'll try and remember to insert a picture of them.
Before Christmas I fell in love with a bag in TK Maxx he's called Paul (Paul Costello) He's is beautiful soft Navy blue leather, He smells amazing (I have a thing about how bags smell) But at £64 TK Maxx red sticker price I can't justify buying him. Every time go in I give him a little cuddle and walk him round for a bit. I did get £60 in Christmas money but I still can't justify buying him.
Sorry I digress I needed a a new handbag after killing the Zara bag and hating the one I've been using. I spotted this brown Nica bag reduced to £18. I love the look of Nica bags but I hate the smell of them (I think it's the glue they use. It makes me feel physically sick and now when ever I go to buy I bag I have to sniff it. ) This one didn't smell much just a hint. for £18 (RRP £55) I decided to take a chance. When I got home and took the stuffing paper out it stunk. I thought I was going to be sick but now the paper has been removed it doesn't smell.
I also got a chipboard scrapbook kit. In theory this is for the JYC project.
There are a few more things I need to photograph. I will try and get these taken but they aren't very exciting things, I got two plastic tubs from Home Bargains and a black jumper from peacocks.
What a great sales haul! I usually hit boots every year for a make up refill and beauty binge so you're not alone!
I love the rose crab tree and evelyn, so give it a go!
It's a bit shameful the amount I've spent! I've got another load of stuff today. I might have to do post 2 soon!


hollywoodlife.com Rob and Kristen took a break before their expected appearance at the 'Twilight' Comic-Con panel and enjoyed a romantic date at Nobu restaurant in San Diego, California on July 11! Find out all the details!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted by a number of fans at Nobu restaurant in San Diego, California on July 11!
The Breaking Dawn actors and real life lovers reportedly arrived for a romantic sushi dinner. Rob and Kristen, who may or may not star in Fifty Shades of Grey together, are currently in town for Comic-Con.
Tragically, a fan died while waiting in line for the Twilight panel. Rob and Kristen are expected to join their Breaking Dawn co-stars during their scheduled panel session at 12:45PM PST. Fans will be treated to exclusive footage from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2 and be treated to a cast and filmmaker Q&A session providing details on the epic finale!
According to an eyewitness, Kristen was spotted wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap!
More details are to come, but it seems like Rob and Kristen are certainly enjoying their time together!

Is it ever too late to change your story?
Daniel Pitt was an RAF fighter in the First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second. Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home.

But after his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and friends back in England. But some bonds are hard to break. Daniel and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating, also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect.
If only they can find a way to move on from the past.

Plants of Southern California: Cryptantha micrantha var. lepida and C. similis
Fig. 1. Left: Cryptantha micrantha var. lepida. Right: C. similis. Note the softer appearance of C. micrantha var. lepida, with shorter and wider leaves, without a terminal robust bristle, compared to the more bristly linear leaves of C. similis that have a terminal robust bristle. Click on the pictures for larger versions.
Geographic Distribution of These Taxa
This page discusses and show pictures of the difference between Cryptantha similis and C. micrantha var. lepida, and gives the voucher distributions of these taxa.
The killer distinction between these two species is that C. similis has a circumscissile corolla, which means that the top of the calyx comes off in fruit to release the nutlets (=seeds); see the pix at the bottom of this page. The calyx of C. micrantha var. lepida remains in one piece in fruit, with the calyx lobes spreading apart to release its nutlets. However, a circumscissile calyx is essentially impossible to observe in young plants, and even somewhat difficult in middle-aged plants. (Cryptanthas often have a difference in the color of the calyx between the top part and the bottom part whether or not the calyx is circumscissile, so that color difference can not be relied on to indicate a circumscissile calyx.)
Fortunately, these two species are nearly completely disjunct, growing in different regions of southern California, and have different appearances on close examination.
Young plants can be distinguished by their leaves, with C. micrantha var. lepida having a softer appearance from its more appressed and softer hairs compared to the more bristly leaves of C. similis. The tips of the leaves are different; C. similis has a robust terminal bristle which is absent in the leaf tip of C. micrantha var. lepida. The shape of the leaves is usually different as well, with C. micrantha var. lepida having shorter and wider leaves, that are noticeably wider near their tips, compared to the linear leaves of C. similis. Fig. 1 illustrates these differences.
Mature robust plants are easily distinguished by their shape, with C. similis a much more matted plant.
Fig. 2 shows the voucher distribution of these two taxa, from a search of the Consortium of California Herbaria on 1 May 2014.
These taxa have an almost completely disjunct distribution, with C. similis confined to the western Mojave Desert, and C. micrantha var. lepida almost completely confined to SnBr and the PR. However, note the scattering of vouchers of C. micrantha var. lepida to the north and west of SnBr and the PR.

It seems like Stardew Valley is coming to mobile platforms.
Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has announced that Stardew Valley is coming to mobile devices. The game will release on iOS on Oct. 24, and will come to Android at a later date. The mobile port of the title is being handled by London-based mobile developer The Secret Police. The mobile port of the farm-building simulator will cost gamers $7.99. There will be no in-app purchases.
The mobile version of Stardew Valley will be the full game, and "plays almost identically to all other versions" of the game, Barone posted in his blog post. The main difference will be a new UI, menu system, and controls built for touch-screen gameplay. This version of the game will include all of the single-player content from the 1.3 update, but will not support multiplayer. PC players will also be able to transfer their save data over to the iOS version through iTunes. However, mods will not be supported.
Stardew Valley will release on iOS devices on Oct. 24. It will come to Android devices at a later date. The title is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
What do you think about Stardew Valley coming to mobile devices? Will you be checking it out? Let us know in the comments below.

Controversy over migration continues to upend European politics

Though the flow of refugees into Europe has slowed in the last two years, it has not stopped, and the controversy over migration continues to upend European politics.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose government has been welcoming migrants into Germany, agreed last week to change policy and stop migrants without legal documentation at the border.
In Italy, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, leader of a right-wing political party, said next year's elections for the European Parliament should be a referendum on migration. His comments followed declarations by Italy's new government that it wants changes in the EU migration system, arguing that Italy and other first-arrival countries like Greece are bearing too much of the burden for the rest of the Europe.
Under European Union rules known as the Dublin regulation, asylum claims for European Union members are usually determined in the country where the migrants enter first.
Greece and Italy are, along with Germany and France, the countries with the highest number of asylum applications. In 2017, Germany had 198,255 claims; Italy had 126,550; France, 91,965; and Greece 56,940, according to EU figures. In all, a total of 650,970 persons sought asylum in the EU countries in 2017.
Italy played a prominent role in recent EU debates over migration. A new EU agreement approved late last month calls for greater shared responsibility for rescuing migrants on the sea, a demand strongly urged by the new Italian government, Reuters reported. "Italy is not alone anymore," said Giuseppe Conte, Italy's new prime minister.
The new agreement does not force any country "to do anything," The New York Times reported June 29, though EU members are contemplating new centers to screen migrants and finding ways to "distribute" refugees among a larger group of countries, the Times reported.
Some are not reacting well to the new agreement. "The plan is a muddle that leaves important details blank. Most important, it ducks the main challenge: to devise a common EU policy on refugees," said a July 4 editorial by the editors of the Bloomberg news service.

The PlayStation 3 Launches In Incredibly Expensive Brazil
Mike Fahey
Filed to: SonyFiled to: Sony
Nine months after the official launch of the PlayStation 2 in Brazil, Sony brings the high-definition magic of the PlayStation 3 to the South American country, with a launch price of roughly $1130, $278 less than originally planned.
Video games are expensive in Brazil. When the PlayStation 2 launched there last November, the asking price for the then nine-year-old system was around $461.
Today, In Brazil, Sony Officially Launched The PlayStation...2
Funny story from our sun-drenched friends at GIzmodo Brazil; today, November 18, 2009, Sony have…
So it makes sense that the PlayStation 3 carry a higher price tag. Today the 120GB PlayStation 3 Slim goes on sale at Sony Style stores around the country for 1,999 Brazil Reais, which at current exchange rates equals approximately $1,130. Pretty steep, but it could have been worse.
According to Anderson Gracias, division manager of Sony PlayStation Brazil, the original price was to be 2,499 Brazil Reais, or $1,408. In order to stay competitive with the Xbox 360, which sells for R $999 to R $1,599 in the country, Sony is subsidizing part of the cost.
Brazil will get the PlayStation Network in three phases, beginning in 2011 with a Portuguese translation. Then Brazilian content will be added, and finally the service will be tweaked to work with the services available in the country.
Edit: Updated the headline with the correct amount. Originally listed $500, but meant 500 Reais. Also added R in frotn of Xbox 360 prices to indicate Reais.
Update: Reader Joaquim notes that unofficial imported versions of the PlayStation 3 Slim 120GB unit currently retail for R $1,299, or $734 USD. These units only carry the three month warranty required by law, and will not be supported by Sony.
For $ 1,999, Sony Style starts selling PS3 in Brazil on Wednesday [UOL Jogos (translated from Portuguese) - Thanks Claudio!]

"Abe" as his colleagues and friends call him is experienced in all aspects of accident and disaster litigation and has represented the families of persons injured or killed in aviation and maritime disasters, construction site accidents, tractor trailer and auto collisions, premises liability accidents and patients harmed by nursing homes, defective products, unsafe drugs and medical devices. Abe has been selected by Super Lawyers Magazine as among the top lawyers in the New York Metro area for seven consecutive years and in 2009 was named to the list of top 100 lawyers in all of New York
In the aviation law arena, Abe is known by airlines and insurance carriers for his website www.flightinjury.com and has helped hundreds of airline passengers seek compensation for injuries suffered during commercial flights. Abe has also represented victims of private jets and propeller aircraft accidents as well as passengers injured around the world in airports or during almost all aspects of flight and boarding from emergency evacuations to flight attendant inflicted injuries. He has successfully litigated claims against American, Delta, Continental, El Al Israel, Air Canada, Air Jamaica, Korean Air, Alitalia, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, Tower Air, US Airways Virgin Atlantic and others.
He was among the attorneys to represent the families of victims who perished aboard American Airlines flight 587 which crashed shortly after take-off in the Rockaways on November 12, 2001. Mr. Bohrer brought lawsuits against both the carrier American Airlines for negligence and violations of the Warsaw Convention, and as against aircraft manufacturer Airbus for products liability on the theory that the defective design of the aircraft's rear vertical stabilizer was a cause of the airliner's loss of control and ultimate crash. Mr. Bohrer is among the only attorneys in the entire United States to have successfully tried to verdict a case involving the treaty known as the Warsaw Convention which governs international commercial air travel. This landmark decision scored a major victory for airline passengers' rights under the Convention.
In addition to representing the victims of air disasters, Mr. Bohrer represented a number of victims and served as a steering committee member of the Staten Island Ferry crash of 2003, as well as victims of the 9/11 terrorist bombings under the government sponsored victims compensation fund. Recently, he represented Suffolk County New York in a mass tort action against the makers of the cholesterol inhibitor drugs Vytorin and Zetia which resulted in a settlement of over forty million dollars by the drug manufacturers.
Abe now represents numerous clients from all over the United States who were injured as a result of the defective Depuy ASR and Pinnacle metal on metal hip replacements.
