Adding a house extension to a self build is not uncommon. It can be a really stunning and effective way of joining the house and the garden and providing extra living space. But until now, adding house extensions has either been incredibly costly for a bespoke orangery, or at the other extreme, styling options are fairly limited to conservatory type structures. Well that's all changed.
Some parts of the conservatory industry have caught onto the opportunity of developing a house extension that thermally performs as well as a brick built structure but captures all the natural daylight of a conservatory or orangery. We are proud to offer a system that enables homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds.
The company behind this house extensions system should know all about the needs and wants of a homeowner wanting to add valuable space to their home, Ultraframe has in fact manufactured over half the conservatory roofs in the UK. This impressive feat stands testimony to the standard of quality that we offer.
While the conservatory still has a place in the hearts of British homeowners, what our house extensions bring to the market is a room that performs exactly like a well built brick extension but at a much lower cost and faster delivery. Because it's still classed as a conservatory, in many cases, it is usually exempt from the need for planning permission (check with your local planning office).
While our designs have created a new category of house extension, it's a great system that can be used to transform an existing conservatory that might be passed its best – especially if you are doing a partial self build and retaining the footprint of an existing building. This means that they will stand as a cost-effective addition to any property.
While the renovation market for house extensions is fairly clear, our designs were originally developed to add completely new floor space to a home. Also, because of the way our house extensions design is constructed the majority of the weight of the roof carried by the columns, the size and design are infinite.
One of the most beautiful examples of a home extension is on a property in Chew Stoke, just outside Bristol. It's almost 30sqm which makes it a significant structure. The couple who own this home had previously owned a property with a conservatory but were keen to find an extension solution that had all the light and space benefits of a conservatory but had the thermal performance of an extension.
They'd opted for an orangery until their installer saw our house extensions at the trade launch and knew that the Pure Cream would really appeal to the family. As our house extensions utilise our innovative super insulated columns, homeowners are able to capture the charming aesthetic of an orangery without having to deal with awkward to install brick piers. These columns are also five times more thermally efficient than their brick counterparts.
Our house extensions can also be used as a completely stand-alone building such as an office or garden living space. It also comes in its own distinctive colour palette of classic white, pure cream, urban grey or landmark green. As the roof is supported by robust, super insulated columns and pillars, glazing options can be comprehensive.
This includes many combinations such as sliding sash windows, bi-folds and deeper profiles in uPVC, aluminium or wood. Options also include the use of contemporary full length glazing or traditional glazing with a low perimeter wall – all of these options will ensure that all styles can be catered for so you won't have to settle for anything less.
One of the biggest benefits of house extensions is the way the super insulated columns are manufactured to deliver the solidity of an extension. This method of off-site construction means they can be constructed in a much shorter time frame than a brick-built extension and deliver superior thermal performance that far exceeds a standard conservatory.
A corner post and pillar u value of 0.15, which is 100% better than current Building Regulations, means that improved thermal performance and with that, year-round temperature control, usability can be increased. You'll be able to enjoy this new addition to your home 365 days the year, no matter the weather.
Our house extensions are a stylish and stress-free way for you to bring market-leading quality to your home. This is made possible by a design that is the result of our extensive investment into the research and development of our products, ensuring they lead the way in terms of appearance and performance throughout.

Misamis Occidental mayor shot dead a day after arrest for mauling

CEBU CITY (UPDATE)—A town mayor from Misamis Occidental province who was previously tagged in President Rodrigo Duterte's "narco-list" was gunned down along M. Velez St., Cebu City on Friday afternoon, police said.
Clarin Mayor David Navarro was shot by unknown gunmen while he was on a police vehicle en route to the Cebu City Prosecutor's Office.
He was set to undergo inquest for slight physical injury and acts of lasciviousness, a day after he was arrested for allegedly mauling a masseur and soliciting sexual favors.
Witnesses said the perpetrators aboard a white van stopped the police convoy and told Navarro to get out of the vehicle before shooting him.
Police Major Eduard Sanchez, chief of Abellana Police Station, claimed they ensured Navarro's safety but the incident happened quickly.
The mayor wore a bulletproof vest and was seated beside the police chief of Clarin and a security aide, he said.
The victim's sister Princess blamed the attack to Navarro's inclusion in the list of alleged "narco-politicians."
"Do you think these cases of slight physical injury and acts of lasciviousness could be the reason for his death?" she told ABS-CBN News in Cebuano.
Princess also denied her brother was involved in the alleged illegal drug trade of the Parojinog clan in Ozamiz City, whose members were killed and arrested in a series of anti-drug raids in 2017.
"We knew each other because we lived in the same province, but not to the point that we are linked to whatever business the Parojinogs have," she said.
She added, "My brother was friendly because he was a politician. He was a family provider and extraordinarily generous."
Sen. Bong Go, who was in Cebu City to visit fire victims in Barangay Sambag I, said he also heard Navarro was included in Duterte's "narco-list".
He condemned the incident and said he will ask the police and the President to give justice on Navarro's death.
"Pero maaaring babala rin po 'yan sa mga sangkot sa droga," Go said.
(But this could also be a warning against those involved in the illegal drugs trade.)—With reports from Annie Perez and Aiza Layague, ABS-CBN News

Your favorite forever in a new shorter length that's a little above the knee...and a little more fun. Shaped seams at the bust for a fit that's feminine and flattering. In a soft blend of cotton, modal & spandex. short sleeves. Wearable, washable, wonderful.
I am more of a size 10-12, but the size guide only offers 8-10 as their M or 12-14 as their L. Would you be able to tell me if I should order the M or the L someone who wears a 10-12?
I am more of an 8-10 and M fits perfect, I would go with the L if you are a 10-12.
I am a size 10 in most clothes. I am big busted and have an hourglass shape, so I got the L and it fits me perfectly. I think the M would have been way too tight through the bust. If you are slender and smaller bust than a M might work. I find when I'm in doubt, I order up. Hope this helps.
The dress size is accurate with the label. The medium may be a bit snug, but the large may be a bit loose. I love my dress and will be ordering more in different colors.
I wear an 8 in basically everything. I ordered the M, and it fits perfectly, but there's not a lot of extra room. You might want to order up a size?
If you're closer to a 10 than a 12 I suggest the Medium. It's a wonderful dress and very flattering.
Is this dress tight around the hips or is there some room? I am a petite medium on top but more of a petite large on bottom. I'm leaning toward ordering the petite large but don't want the top to be loose.
how long is dress for petite small?
BEST ANSWER: Hey - I?m 57, 5?2.5? and I felt the above knee was a bit too short for me - just a tad tho - I loved the dress so much I returned and bought the longer version.
I?m wearing mine mostly to church, but if your using it a a day dress or cover up - go for the short one!
Have fun and enjoy - hope I helped ?
A regular medium fits me perfectly, hits just above the knees like it is pictured. I am about 5'3-1/2" and typically wear a size 8.
I'm 5'1" and it hits nicely just below my kneecap.
Are there any plans to expand the color offerings for this style? I've long had my eye on that little-blue-flowers-on-white number of the longer version--I don't remember the exact color name--but have never liked that length. I would LOVE to see it here as the length is perfect!
Is the Hydrangea Multi a true purple or is it blue, and is the pattern gold or is it more yellow or orange?
BEST ANSWER: I don't have the Hydrangea dress. I have the Tropical which has an off white background with orange and purple flowers. Very comfortable, easy to wear and launder.
Is the "tropical" color an orange color, or is it more of a pinkish-coral?
BEST ANSWER: It has orange pink and green in it.
The orange is a true orange.
BEST ANSWER: I have Medium Petite and it is 35 1/2 " from the nape of the neck to the hem . I am 5'2 3/4" and it hits me right above the knee.
Hits just above the knee or right at the knee.
What is the length of the dress.?
BEST ANSWER: I?m about 5?7? and it hits just above the knee.
Does this dress come in the Coral print?


Skateboarding has been used as a form of inclusion for teens and young adults to express their individuality. It keeps them active and allows them to form a tribe of like-minded individuals who can converse on the latest skate tricks and develop an artistic identity outside the conventional norms of society.
Exactly three years ago this week, Rolling Stone published a piece detailing the extent four guys went through to flee the gang violence surrounding them in El Salvador. The four men crossed thousands of miles north to the U.S. with skateboards as their main form of transportation.

This quiz will help you prepare a research paper.
This English Language quiz is called 'Writing - How to Prepare a Research Paper' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at middle school. Playing educational quizzes is a fabulous way to learn if you are in the 6th, 7th or 8th grade - aged 11 to 14.
By now you have learned about words and how they relate to each other, you have learned about sentence structures, how to write a paragraph and how to write a book report. However, now it is time that you learn how to prepare a research paper.
A research paper is an expanded essay and is generally between 5 to 15 pages long. The first objective is to get the writer to find information on a specific topic then present that information with supporting evidence. It also requires the writer to incorporate their own views, opinions and summation of the topic.
In order to have an effective and well written research paper you will need to follow a series of steps. Don't be alarmed by the steps. With each research paper you do, most of these steps will become so natural to you that you won't even have to think about them. Other steps will take more time. So now let's look at the steps.
Let's say you were given the assignment to write a research paper on the Pilgrims. That seems simple enough until you sit down to a blank piece of paper and ask yourself, "Okay, what am I going to say about the Pilgrims?" It is at this point that you realize you need to do some research. The first step in researching is to narrow the topic.
To make your paper more interesting you need to determine what you want to tell about the Pilgrims. Do you want to talk about the way they dressed, the way they farmed, their travel to the New World, life on board of the Mayflower, their religious values, their political values or whatnot? By narrowing your research down to one or two topics, it helps to take away the anxiety of just what you are supposed to write about. It can also help you to eliminate unnecessary research time. Once you pick the one or two areas or topics to focus on, it's time to move to step 2.
As you read through researched materials, jot down notes that interest you in the topics you have chosen. Some people find that jotting down notes on index cards helps them while others just jot them down on a piece of paper. Whichever way is most comfortable to you is okay. However, be sure your notes are detailed enough to remind you of a point or event. If your notes are too vague, later on when you have to rely upon them you will be wondering what the note was supposed to be about and why did you write it out anyway. So your notes shouldn't be too wordy but they should give you enough information that you remember why you wrote the note and where you thought that information could go in your research paper. Make sure that your notes are about relevant items that should go into your paper. Don't get sidetracked from the one or two areas that you have chosen to focus on. After all notes have been taken, move on to step 3.
When researching a topic, record all of the resources you have used. Resources can include autobiographies, biographies, diaries, encyclopedias, history books, personal journals and so on. Some sources are considered to be "primary" sources which mean they come from reliable records, government records (birth, marriage and death), personal journals, diaries or autobiographies or even interviews directly with a person or a family member. "Secondary" sources would include newspapers clippings, word of mouth, people's writings based on their own opinions, etc.
Always be aware of your sources and then verify as best as you can that the source is legitimate. If the source is unreliable or cannot be verified, your best option is to not use any materials or notes from that source. In this process you will select and limit your sources for a more accurate research paper. Because many sources will not be verifiable, during your note taking step, the more sources you use the better. This way when you start weeding out the unreliable sources you should still have plenty of notes to write your research paper. Now you are ready for step 4.
Now that you have all of the notes that are reliable, organize the notes into different sections. For example, if you chose to write about the clothing of the Pilgrims, you might have notes that described what women wore, some about what men wore and others about what children wore. You might even have notes about how the clothes were made or how they were repaired. Separate each grouping of notes and put them in the order you would like to present them. Once you have all of your notes grouped into sections and in order, it's time to write an outline. In other words, start writing brief sentences and breakdowns for each grouping of notes. Read through your outline and see if it flows from one section to the next. If not, make the appropriate changes. If it does, then it's time to move to step 5.
At this point it is time to turn your outline into a written paper. Be sure to include an amazing introductory paragraph that will capture the reader's attention. In the introductory paragraph you will give a brief overview of what your paper will be about. If written well the reader will want to read on. Write out the main body of your paper in the order you assigned in the outline. Once the draft is done, move on to step 6.
Now read over your first draft and check to see that you included within your writing the references that you used to present the material. If you used any pictures, maps or any other form of graphics, be sure to include the source reference for those as well. If you omitted a reference, here is where you need to add it in. When all references have been documented, move on to step 7.
Now it's time to write a second draft, polishing it up with the edits and changes you made to the first draft. This is also where you will check to see if the paragraphs have been organized well or if they need to be moved around. Tweak the paragraphs so the flow of the body of the paper is smooth and orderly. It is also at this point that you need to check the formatting. If you have titles in your paper do you want the titles in all capital letters or upper and lower cases? Do you want them to be bolded or underlined or both? Be consistent throughout. When the introductory paragraph and body have been successfully rewritten, reworked and made consistent, it is time to move on to step 8.
Now it's time to add your concluding paragraph. The concluding paragraph needs to wrap up the research paper with a pretty bow. The concluding paragraph will include the writer's final opinion and/or views and should be written in a way that will inspire the reader to either look more into the topic(s) or feel satisfied and informed by having read the paper. Now it's time to move to step 9.
This is a page or pages that will be at the end of the research paper and will include an alphabetical listing of the references used. This will allow the readers to look up the references themselves if they so choose to do so. Once the Appendix is done it's time to move to the step 10 – the final step!
Now that you have done your first and second drafts and cleaned everything up, it's time to create the final product. By this stage, everything should be in top shape. Complete the final paper and turn it in. YOU'RE DONE!
Well, there you have it, the steps in how to prepare a research paper. Try to memorize these steps carefully. They will help you in all of your papers through middle school, high school and even college. So now let's move to the next step of this quiz – the questions!
Read each question carefully and see if you can find the correct answer on how to prepare a research paper.
A research paper is an expanded ______.

Fortunately, crafting a great blog post doesn't have to take hours. Embrace these four strategies and you should be able to quickly prepare a smart, engaging post. With practice, you can eventually cut the time it takes you to write a blog post to 60 minutes—or perhaps even less.
Choosing a topic is often the biggest stumbling block for advisors who blog. If you have a bad case of writer's block, look no further than today's paper. The news hook should help jump-start your writing, while timely, relevant content will help draw readers in.
The latest financial headlines are an obvious source of ideas, but don't limit yourself to the business page. A story about the U.S. presidential race might inspire a post on maintaining a long-term perspective if the election affects the markets. An article on recent grads struggling with student loan debt could trigger a post on saving for college. A story about a dog biting a neighbor could help you explain why a person might need umbrella insurance.
When blogging about a topic that's been in the news, be sure to add your own spin. If you're writing about changes in tax laws, explain how those changes could affect a reader's retirement planning decisions. If you're discussing the latest housing data, discuss what the numbers could mean for homeowners in your area. Always make sure you're adding value to the larger conversation.
Writing on issues you know a lot about—such as retirement planning for business owners or estate planning—means you won't waste valuable time researching unfamiliar topics. In addition, blogging on topics you're already familiar with and passionate about will also make your writing lively and engaging. Your post will be more fun to read, which will keep your audience coming back for more.
Think about developing a niche for your blog, which will give it personality and purpose. Rather than writing about generic financial topics, you could become the "401(k) Guy," or perhaps focus exclusively on the financial issues facing divorced women. When you focus on your unique area of expertise, you'll be able to write confidently and from a position of authority, which will help you further position yourself as an expert.
Any length of post can benefit you. Rather than worry about the quantity of your words, focus on their quality. Use as many words as you need—no more, no less.
Write as much as you need to, and then stop. If you've written a great post on new tax laws, but it's only 450 words long, don't add on to it just to reach some arbitrary word count. Unless those extra words provide valuable information, they're dead weight.
If you have an extra-long post, break it into installments. You'll keep the word count under control, and your readers will have a reason to come back to your blog the next day or next week.
Use headings and bulleted lists to break up your post. Readers who are pressed for time can just scan for the highlights. These techniques can also help you quickly organize your thoughts.
Good writers always edit their work. Before you click "publish," review your post for grammatical errors and superfluous words. Not sure what to cut? Watch out for empty phrases like "it should be noted that," "the fact of the matter is" or "that being said," which should usually be deleted. Wordy phrases should be trimmed. Why say "depreciate in value" when you can just say "depreciate" or "due to the fact that" when "because" means the same thing?
Writing can be intimidating and time-consuming. The best way to efficiently turn out great blog posts? Just start writing, and then keep at it. With practice, you'll find that blogging will get easier and take less time. Eventually, blog writing will become painless—and perhaps even fun.

When you see the price they paid I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade.

Directed by Scott J. Ramsey
There are movies that exist in a larger universe, whether it be a shared cinematic universe like Marvel or the Friday the 13th franchise, or in our own reality. Then there are other movies that seem to exist in their own space, separate from what we know and understand. They create their own reality – that's not necessarily a bad thing, by the way. It's not necessarily a good thing, either.
In a beautiful mansion on the rugged Central California coast, a monthly masquerade ball for charity is about to take place. Run by a group called the Foundation (which is also the name of the production company for this and other films, something that might feel a bit uppity to some), the privacy and security of those attending are taken very seriously. The ball is by invitation only. Everyone is required to wear masks and I'm not talking the kind that the CDC recommends. Nobody is allowed to use their own names – they're all assigned letter-and-number code names, like B7 or G8. I'm not sure if this makes them sound like spies or bingo numbers.
The grand muckety-muck of the Foundation is Christian (Raymond), also known as the Queen, and she and a select few realize that the charity ball is just a pretense; once the checkbooks are put away and the more repressed sorts have gone home for the evening, the party turns into a huge sex party where anything (and everything) goes, so long as those who attend are not forced to do things they don't want to do. At this particular party, Christian notices an interloper and she eventually susses out the identity of Stella (Bolvin), an old rival from high school. She is now a fairly well-known sex cam performer, although her boyfriend Jackson (Cowan) isn't aware of that fact – he thinks she's teaching night school. She was invited by Christian's right hand man Danny (Smick), ostensibly to add some notoriety to the mix, but in large part to get under the skin of his employer.
It doesn't seem to faze Christian much, and she ends up inviting Stella to the next one, urging her to bring along Jackson – whom Christian had a serious crush on back in high school. At the next party, things start to go horribly wrong for Christian as her secret perversion is revealed, her mother Lynda (Fichman), a former pop star, and who suffers from dementia, turns up and all of this threatens the entire structure of the Foundation.
This is described – accurately enough – as an erotic thriller mixed in with LGBTQ+ camp with, I might add, some dark comedy thrown in for good measure. But the real meat of the movie is as a character study, as the movie really looks in at the fragile reality behind the façade of a strong capable woman that is Christian.
The movie enjoys some sumptuous production values considering its low budget, and enjoys a really nifty soundtrack. The movie missteps a bit with the acting performances – the acting is like what you might find at a Broadway audition circa 1957 and is a little overly broad and stiff for the movie camera. Some of the dialogue is cringeworthy, even though (I think) it's meant as satire. The film owes a lot to Kubrick's final film Eyes Wide Shut in terms of the set-up and the overall air of decadence, but there's a very thin line between pushing boundaries and coming off as pretentious.
This isn't strictly LGBTQ+ either – I would categorize the sex more as pansexual than anything else – and while there is a certain amount of fluidity in the lead characters' sexuality (particularly Christian's) there is all kinds of hooking up going on that will titillate those of any sexual preference, although there is surprisingly little graphic sexual content considering the setting.
The ending is not at all what you would expect; normally I find that to be a good thing, but to be honest, it didn't feel earned and the more I thought about it as time has gone by since I screened the film, the less it felt right. To be fair, this was never meant to be a movie for a wide audience; this isn't going to be everyone's brand of vodka. If you're the sort who delights in the erotic (particularly the fringes of same), this might well be the kind of entertainment you're looking for and then some. For most though, it's going to be a hard sell.
REASONS TO SEE: The production values are surprisingly strong.
REASONS TO AVOID: Well over the line into pretentiousness.
FAMILY VALUES: There is plenty of profanity and sexual references as well as some violence.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: A companion album featuring music by goth-pop artists The Major Arcana (of which director Scott J. Ramsey is a member) entitled At the Devil's Ball was released in conjunction with the film.

A Messy Job
Posted on October 31, 2011 by carlosdev
Penelope St. Clair looked right out of place in the sawmill. In her city finery, said to be directly from Paris and the best that the Pacific Northwest could offer in 1898, she was prim, proper and decidedly gentrified. Her father, Andrew St. Clair, had emigrated from Scotland and had amassed a great wealth in land with holdings from Washington State throughout the Rockies as far east as the Dakotas, as far south as Northern California and as far north as British Columbia. Most of his land was full of virgin timber.
Elliott James McBride, also known as E.J., might have been a handsome man if he could have disguised the avarice in his eyes. He owned a number of lumber mills and his timber had not only built the railroads but also many of the homes and businesses of Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. The arrangement between himself and the daughter of Andrew St. Clair would have been mutually beneficial to both families to say the least.
Except that Penelope didn't love E.J. McBride, not in the least. She was reasonably sure he felt nothing for her either, other than being the conduit for further riches for himself. Certainly he wanted her body for his own nefarious purposes; not merely to create an heir for his fortune, but for his own twisted, perverse pleasures which she, as a lady, could scarcely imagine. He proposed time after time; time after time she refused. He entreated her father to make her see reason, but Andrew St. Clair doted on his only child and also refused.
E.J. McBride was not so easily rebuffed however. He was a self-made man who arrived in the Northwest with a fortune of three dollars exactly. This he had parlayed into the largest single land operation in Big Sky country. There were those who thought that McBride should become governor of the great state of Washington, and there were even those who whispered that he might make a fine President someday.
He tried flowers. He attempted to give her the most luscious chocolate candy that could be imported from Belgium. He took her out for the finest meals that Seattle could offer. He bought her jewelry, clothing, gifts of every manner. She refused them all. He tried to convince her using every flattery he could think of. She saw it for what it was – the attempt of a desperate man to woo an unwilling woman. She also noticed the way he looked at her, not with the callow affection of a gentleman but with the undisguised lust of a bounder. She would have none of it.
At last E.J. McBride ran out of patience. He wanted the lumber contract to be sure, but his pride had been hurt. His desire for the timber and for the bride had become obsession and the obsession had turned ugly. One dark night, he had followed Penelope St. Clair down to the park as she went for an evening stroll with a young man she was sweet on, a former Canadian Mountie named Gordon Dudley. E.J., never one to fight fairly, delivered a blow to the cranium of Gordon Dudley with a base-ball bat which knocked the handsome young Seattle police officer out cold. Over the nose and mouth of the screaming Penelope he placed a lace handkerchief literally dosed with ether. Her eyes rolled up in the back of her head and she fainted into the villain's arms.
He quickly carried her to his waiting carriage and put her inside, closing the shades on the windows, then quickly had his man drive them out of town before any sort of alarm could be raised. They drove through the night, the horses all a-lather by the time dawn came and they arrived at one of E.J.'s sawmills, one that he'd built in anticipation of the influx of lumber from Andrew St. Clair's land, but stood in disuse waiting for the lumber to arrive that now never would.
He trussed her up to a large piece of wood that the circular buzz-saw would normally cut into 2×4 boards. He used smelling salts to wake her. Penelope felt the fuzzy darkness slowly slip away and the morning light filled her eyes. She was disoriented at first but came to wakefulness and soon realized that something was amiss. "What is this? Where am I?" She espied EJ. standing over her, sneering and twirling his handlebar moustache in that strange affectation that was one of the many reasons she despised him. "I demand that you release me at once! Father shall hear about this and he shall give you a sound thrashing when he does!"
E.J. McBride laughed soundly and heartily. "I fear that this eventuality shall never happen, my dear. You are in a precarious position, one not suitable for making demands." She struggled mightily but ultimately, futilely against her bonds. "Untie me at once, you cad! Have you no morals?" Again he laughed heartily. "Why, not a speck Miss St. Clair. How do you think I've been so successful?" She growled, having no response for that.
"Now let me explain what your situation is my dear. I find that I must have you – not only for the sake of my business ventures, but because I am attracted to you in no small way. So your choice is a simple one. Either you agree to marry me, be my loyal wife and the mother of my children, making me the sole heir to your father's land holdings…or nobody gets you at all."
She looked at him with the eyes of a she-cat. "I would never marry you Elliott James McBride, not if you asked me a million times!" If she could have stamped her delicate foot, she would have. but E.J. McBride wasn't concerned about her tantrums. Those he could handle the way a good husband should – with a right cross to the jaw. No, he was more concerned that she would find a way to run away with that policeman…E.J. McBride wouldn't allow his wife to humiliate him like that, and at this point he looked at Penelope St. Clair as his bride in all but name. When he looked at her, he imagined their wedding night.
"You might wish to reconsider that," he said thoughtfully as he walked to the controls of the buzz-saw. "If you choose to deny me what is rightfully mine, I will make sure you become the property of no-one. I will saw you into pieces and scatter them around the Northwest where nobody could find them. Then, I will buy the land outright from your grieving father for pennies on the dollar, particularly when he is accused of your murder."
She looked at him with slack-jawed horror. "Have you no shame, sir? Have you no decency whatsoever?" He smiled cheerfully. "None at all," he said lightly. "I find it impedes the digestion." She glared at him. "You mock me, sir!" His expression darkened at that. "I mock you? I…mock…you? It is you, Madame, who mock me! You with your constant and tiresome refusals of my heartfelt proposals, you with your pretense and your arrogance. I may be a self-made man Madame but I assure you that I am, after all that, a man. Now do you wish to marry me or do you wish to die?"
She regarded him as she would a venomous snake. "I'd rather die than marry a poisonous scoundrel such as yourself." He shrugged. "Suit yourself," he said and with a dramatic flourish he turned the saw on.
The board she was affixed to began to travel by conveyor belt to the saw blade which whirred with mechanical malignancy. Penelope screamed once and turned to her captor. "You wouldn't dare!" she yelled, more in bravado than in anything else. A slight smile upturned his lips. "I seem to be doing…just that," he said simply and leaned back against the far wall to watch.
Penelope began to struggle but at the same time she had faith in the Almighty that he would send someone to rescue someone as virtuous as herself. Perhaps Gordon would come to her aid. Yes, arriving on a shining white steed, his auburn curls glittering in the morning light as he dispatched the bounder E.J. McBride with startling ease. Yes, in mere moments he would be leaping through the door like a gazelle, ready to give Mr. McBride a sound thrashing, one richly deserved.
She inched closer and smiled smugly. "I'll be rescued," she told McBride and he shrugged, smiling. "Perhaps" was all he said and that in a nonchalant tone. She scowled. "My Gordon will come and get me." E.J. McBride snickered. '"I find that highly unlikely," he said with a malevolent grin. Penelope looked at him with haughty disdain. "Sinners like you always get their comeuppance in the end," she informed him. He feigned a shocked look and said "Do we? I haven't so far."
He chuckled and Penelope looked nervously at the blade that was now close enough that she could feel the wood chips flying from it, stinging her cheek. "Now enough of this nonsense Mister McBride, stop this at once and release me. You will not profit from this venture." He laughed heartily. "I already have, my dear. Just seeing you put in your place will be priceless."
She began to panic now. The blade was mere inches away and she could feel the blast of warm air from its whirling teeth as she drew closer. "Mister McBride, I must insist you stop this charade at once. I'm getting quite frightened and I want to go home." He shook his head no. "Too late for that Miss St. Clair. Perhaps you should have taken me seriously to begin with."
She could feel the blade cutting strands of her blonde hair and she began to shriek in fear. "STOP THIS! STOP IT! I'LL MARRY YOU, I PROMISE I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT DEAR GOD HELP ME" Her pleas turned into wordless shrieks as the blade made contact with her flesh. Blood from her scalp spattered on the walls as she wriggled in furious waves of fear trying to break free. Given great strength by her fear, she nearly succeeded in pulling her left hand from its bindings but now it was too late. The blade of the saw cut through the bone of her skull and into her brain.
Bits of grey matter and flesh chunked against the walls of the mill and E.J. McBride felt obliged to move lest his suit get ruined by the gore. Now her screams were guttural and choked with blood as her body twitched and spasmed as her brain began to die and the neural endings were stimulated. Her bowels voided as the screaming stopped, her lovely eyes staring sightlessly as the saw cut through her ocular nerves and the eyeballs plopped to the floor like an overripe piece of fruit.
The blood really began to gush as the blade sawed through her carotid artery and down along her spine as her body began to fall away, split in two. He watched in fascination as the blade cut through ribs, organs and flesh with ease although he thought with annoyance that the blade would have to be changed after this; the bones were much harder than the soft wood that would be going through here now that he would get St. Clair's land.
At last the saw made its way through her pubis and through, cleanly slicing the heiress in half. The show over, he went downstairs and called his man up to finish the gruesome task. The remains of the girl would be sawed into smaller chunks, then thrown in the river where the bears and fish would no doubt dispose of it.
He looked at the blood-soaked walls of the mill and sighed. Someone would have to clean this mess up before he could bring workers here to work the lumber. Perhaps there were a few Chinamen he could buy who would get the job done. Making money, as with romance, could be messy work.

What is Wabi-sabi? A guide to the interiors aesthetic taking over your Instagram feed
WORDS Elyssa Kostopoulos PHOTOGRAPHY Pinterest PUBLISHED Sun, 29 Aug 2021 - 9:00 am
If you have been keeping up with the interior design trends of Instagram, you will have surely gotten lost in the 'way of life' aesthetic that is Wabi-sabi. The ancient Japanese philosophy is much more than a fleeting design phase; Instead, its principles act as a reminder to appreciate the beauty in a naturally imperfect world.
As written by prolific American artist, aesthetics expert and writer, Leonard Koren, in his book Wabi-Sabi: For Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers: "Wabi-sabi is ambivalent about separating beauty from non-beauty or ugliness. The beauty of Wabi-sabi is in one respect, the condition of coming to terms with what you consider ugly."
With this in mind, it might be time for us to move away from the plague of perfectionism that has riddled our homes and embrace an approach that is far more simplistic. Here, we unpack how.
What is Wabi-sabi?
It is difficult to deduce Wabi-sabi to a single definition. Loosely translated, the philosophy can be understood as 'rustic simplicity' or 'understated elegance' with a focus on a less-is-more mentality. Even Koren struggled to discover a precise definition; instead coining his own, which reads as follows. "Wabi-sabi is the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, the antithesis of our classical Western notion of beauty as something perfect, enduring, and monumental."
Image credit: Pinterest
The Japanese philosophy offers an escape from reality's modern obsession with perfectionism, instead, embracing imperfections in a more meaningful way. Although it certainly encourages a shift to simplicity, this notion in itself can be double-edged; given that the term in western culture is often associated with hyper-organisation. Rather, Wabi-sabi is more about looking to nature as our main inspiration and the characteristics it possesses.
Authenticity is also a key principle in the practice and as a result, cracks and blemishes are considered symbolic of the passage of time and loving use. This works in tandem with a similar Japanese art form – kinstugi. This is the practice of repairing cracked pottery and ceramics with gold-dusted lacquer to highlight the beauty of the damage rather than hiding it.
What are the seven pillars of Wabi-sabi?
A quick Google search will reveal that Wabi-sabi finds its roots in Zen Buddhism. The path to enlightenment for Zen monks stresses austerity, communion with nature, and above all, reverence for everyday life. Through this philosophy, the seven pillars of Wabi-sabi were defined:
Kanso — simplicity
Fukinsei — asymmetry or irregularity
Shibumi — beauty in the understated
Shizen — naturalness without pretension
Yugen — subtle grace
Datsuzoku — freeness
Seijaku — tranquility
How can you incorporate Wabi-sabi in your home?
As mentioned above, Wabi-sabi has a strong connection to nature, so embracing the rustic characteristics of raw materials like wood, steel and stone are a great place to begin structurally. Part of choosing natural materials is accepting that they will intrinsically have imperfections and no two pieces of wood, steel or stone will ever be identical. This also extends to your soft furnishings too – opting for materials and fibres of linen varieties that characteristically get better with every use and wash.
When it comes to colourways, the theme of nature continues to live on. Greens, greys, earth tones and rust-shades help create an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony.
In addition, the philosophy celebrates the handmade rather than overly-manufactured pieces. When decorating your space, look to unique and quality pieces in materials that will wear well over time. It's also important to keep in mind that Wabi-sabi is about decluttering and stripping back the unnecessary. So, if you're questioning whether the extra couch cushion is necessary, maybe it's best to go without.

Let's take the labor out of your Labor Day barbecue! Want to avoid the typical unhealthy hot dog and hamburger barbecue and still make a quick, easy, and healthy meal your guests will enjoy? Then why not try my grilled garlic herb flank steak and vegetable medley?
So you have a very busy schedule, and you have very little time to prepare for your big Labor Day party. All you need is an hour, a gas grill, and a few ingredients. This recipe will give you and your guests a combination of healthy protein, fat, and non-starchy carbohydrates.
Combine minced garlic, pepper, soy sauce, oregano, and cumin in large bowl over steak and let sit in refrigerator, then begin preparing vegetables. Take six pieces of aluminum foil (one for each vegetable), place veggie in center of foil, and wrap each securely, then place wrapped veggies on gas grill over medium heat for 25-35 minutes or until veggies are tender. Once veggies have been cooking for 20 minutes, place marinated steak on grill and cook to your liking between 10 to 20 minutes on each side, depending on your preference. The steak makes one serving; the veggies make two servings. Add more depending on the size of your party.
When done, remove the foil from the veggies and cut them up as desired. Add either balsamic vinegar or fat-free butter spray to the veggies to enhance the flavor.

MISSOURI – Countdown to Million-Dollar Musical in Branson on Saturday
(Branson, Missouri 6/5/2019) Family fun and lifelong memories abound beginning Saturday with the opening of Silver Dollar City's Star-Spangled Summer festival. Open daily, the festival marks the unofficial beginning of summer at the internationally-awarded 1880s-style theme park in Branson, Missouri.
An integral part of the park's The Year of Shows & Festivals, new productions and entertainment will join the summer lineup, capped by an all-new million-dollar production show, Reuben's Swashbuckling Adventure. This Broadway-style musical, created exclusively for Silver Dollar City, joins America's Got Talent-featured Kid Magic show, featuring the world's youngest professional magician Kadan Bart Rockett and his sister, Brooklyn. Coupled with even more summer entertainment in support of The Year of Shows & Festivals and the park's award-winning 40 family-friendly rides and attractions, families will have more than one way to enjoy the summer sun.
Following in the legendary footsteps of the park's most successful productions and musicals, Reuben's Swashbuckling Adventure is a magical journey of discovery, featuring a colorful cast, flying characters and state-of-the-art sets and special effects. Following a young Ozarkian boy in the 1880s, guests are transported to Reuben's fanciful dreamscape in a variety of settings including a giant pirate ship, a lush and sprawling forest and even a wayfarer camp. With original musical numbers and memorable lyrics, this family-focused musical creates an immersive experience in the park's one-thousand seat Opera House, pairing classic theatrical tricks with modern, advanced technologies, including a massive LED screen, nearly one-thousand square feet in area.
Silver Dollar City will also host the new Dance Explosion, where the park's iconic clogging will join the likes of stomp, tap and other varieties of dance disciplines with live-performance troupes visiting throughout the summer. Additional summer performance includes an award-winning comedian and juggler, bluegrass band Southern Raised and all-new Saloon and Echo Hollow shows.
Plus, thrills are aplenty at the park with rides like Time Traveler, the world's fastest, steepest and tallest complete-circuit spinning coaster, and Outlaw Run, world record holder for the steepest drop on a wooden roller coaster in 2015's Guinness World Records. There's even more summer fun abound for little ones with the ten family adventures in both the Fireman's Landing and Grand Exposition districts of the park

T-Mobile Sprint
After the closing arguments, the T-Mobile/Sprint merger case leans towards a deal block
by Daniel Petrov
During Wednesday's closing arguments, lawyers for T-Mobile and Sprint presented their case in the state AG trial against their merger, and we are a few weeks away from the verdict. US Judge Victor Marrero, however, didn't ask a single question during the four-hour marathon, say New Street analysts who gained access to the trial in the hope that his comments or questions would point them towards his eventual opinion.
Previously, they have been sceptical about the merger chances in its current state of affairs, and the laconic judge didn't help dissuade that conviction. Wall Street analysts are also now bearish on the chances of a New T-Mobile forming from the ashes of Sprint, and this has been indicated in the record spread between the carriers' stock prices.
Sprint is trading at more than 40% discount to the price that T-Mobile is prepared to pay for it in the now-$34 billion merger, much to the chagrin of John Legere, who is stepping down as T-Mobile CEO in the spring. With his usual positive outlook, he issued the following tweet at closing day:
We're excited to get to work bringing #NewTMobile to life -- creating REAL benefits for our customers & bringing more positive changes to wireless and beyond! Key info: https://t.co/szV2VJEcxw
— John Legere (@JohnLegere) January 15, 2020
Optimism, however, is not enough of a superpower in court, and after sitting for the good portion of the day in court, New Street analyst Blair Levin issued a memo (subscription req'd) to clients, obtained by Fierce Wireless, breaking down the real possibilities of a merger to go through. First, Blair's recap of how the final day in court went, according to his impressions:
While we think the decision will ultimately depend on how the judge views the DISH fix, most of the arguments were about other issues, such as market definitions, efficiencies, and who has various burdens of proof. There was also a lot of discussion of a non-public session in which Ergen discussed the DISH business plan and potential strategic partners, which is a wild card in our analysis, as it could prove important but we have no way to know what really happened. The lawyers for both sides cited metaphors the judge mentioned during the trial.
The metaphors in question may sound funny to anyone who is not initiated in the court's lingo - the state AGs' lawyer referred to T-Mobile as the "flower child" that turned into an investment banker, while the judge likened it to Rocky.
The carrier's attorney grabbed the reference and made the "T-Mobile is becoming Rocky and stepping into the ring with its larger competitors and developing a new punch" sentence with it. Fun for the whole family.
However, California and New York's Attorney Generals Xavier Becerra and Letitia James, who are tasked with representing all the state attorneys against the merger in the trial, got out of it with a final statement after the closing arguments that read:
There should be no question now: this attempted megamerger would thwart competition in the telecom market and harm consumers from California to New York, and everywhere in between. At trial, we have repeatedly demonstrated the dramatically increased market concentration that would result if T-Mobile and Sprint were to merge.
Right now, Sprint and T-Mobile compete intensely with each other on price, features and quality, he added. That's competition we can't afford to lose. The costs to consumers and our economy would be palpable. Our coalition of 14 state attorneys general stands strongly opposed to the megamerger for the sake of protecting choice and competition for all Americans, and we're confident the law is on our side.
In the so-called "findings of fact" submitted to the judge beforehand, the Attorney Generals have the upper hand, according to Mr Levin, as they have managed to demonstrate that the FCC and DoJ went with "what appears to be only a cursory examination" of the merger's conditions. They rightfully argue in one of the closing arguments that "the population of the plaintiff states is almost twice as large as the population of the states that have joined the DoJ settlement approving the merger," and thus their own impact research has more weight than the Department of Justice one.
Even DoJ's own 15-month investigation concluded that there will be significant sinergies of scale and efficiencies achieved post-merger, but also concluded that the deal would essentially stifle competition, too. When it comes to the FCC, its approval was also thrown under the bus by the states' attorney who argued that the much-touted divestment of Boost and Virgin to Dish may never materialize as a serious competitor, as some of the FCC's conditions are actually pending with no enforcement power.
All in all, most analysts who read the closing statements and followed the trial to the end, have deduced that the legal arguments of the 14 State Attorney Generals are superior to the ones that the carriers have put forward.
However, it's ultimately up to Judge Marrero to decide whether he wants to basically scratch the work of over a hundred FCC and DoJ staffers who worked hard on securing the conditions under which the merger can proceed forward. The decision can't come soon enough, and, as usual, John Legere is optimistic about it.

Street Triage Service
Help in a crisisAbout usCouncil of GovernorsBSL
Patients and service users
Families and carers
Search the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust website
Our Street Triage Team is a partnership between the Trust, Nottinghamshire Police and the local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), joining up mental health practitioners and police officers, to provide a specialist response to people with mental health issues, who by a range of circumstances, come into contact with the police and are in need of urgent help.
The team have been hugely successful in reducing the number of patients detained under the Mental Health Act since its development in 2014, and also signposting patients to appropriate services.
To further extend the success of this service, the team have expanded the hours they will be available. Where previously the shift has started at 4pm, it now includes a day car working from 8am in the morning for a trial period of 6 months. This means the team are now available to support many more people in crisis.
The service sees specially trained mental health nurses from the Trust join police officers on callouts in unmarked street triage cars throughout Nottinghamshire where vulnerable people need immediate mental health support. The nurses are available to give telephone advice to police officers and help them decide on the appropriate healthcare service to refer to.
Referrals to the service are only through the police.

Q: Reverse proxy on Apache (for QNAP) As I cannot access to ports other than 80 and 443 at work, I would like to make accessible some resources using Apache on my QNAP.
In particular I would like to:

*

*set a Virtual Host (using sub1.domain.com) to connect to a service running on the same host (my QNAP) (http://localhost:58000)

The reasons why I say this laptop is mint are: This laptop has been on a protective case since day 1. Also had a screen protector installed the same day it came out of its packaging. Has never had any spills on it, and its never been "accidentally" dropped. This laptop works flawlessly, and comes in its original packaging, with information booklets. As well as its original USB-Type C cable and adapter.Will include the case for it and screen protector is installed so you can take it off if you'd like. Also will include a usb hub that attaches to the type-c on the MacBook so you can attach usb devices.
Just posted a pic over the battery cycles.

Harlem Quartet Brings Smiles to Kids of All Ages
by David Patterson
February 7, 2016 February 7, 2016 by David Patterson
It surely had that community feel to it when the renowned Harlem Quartet entered past a large, very diverse crowd in Peabody Hall. Two small children stood in the aisle intently listening all the way through Harlem's dynamic Beethoven. For Mendelssohn, variously sized young folks sat on the floor only feet away from the quartet, and the Jazz and Latin standards showing off Harlem's long tradition of mixing musical media clearly looked to appeal here.
The prescient vision of Ashmont Hill Chamber Music and the generous support of Trinity Financial brought the Harlem Quartet to the parish of All Saints in Dorchester. AHCM's Board President David Hale Mooney reported that this concert marked the start of its collaboration with Project STEP, whose mission is "to identify talented children from underrepresented Boston communities and to provide them with comprehensive music and string instrument instruction." The ensemble had given a masterclass for Project STEP earlier in the day.
Applause broke out when the foursome barely finished up a very robust and suspense-filled iteration of the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Quartet Op. 18, No. 4. You had to wonder what was going on in the minds of those youngsters, one of whom was leaning into the aisle like a statue to catch every animated movement of the players.
No letup came with the Scherzo. Those short motives of only a few notes Beethoven so ingeniously passed around from instrument to instrument the beautiful blend of the Harlem four. Their melding thrilled in those passages where Beethoven's power penchant arose. Power indeed was with them. All Saints' Peabody Hall reacted as if some electronic amplification might have been in use.
There being no slow movement, the players made the perfect choice from among Beethoven's many and varied string quartets. The size and scope of this C minor opus made it all the more attractive, one would imagine, to any new listeners to this genre. And to that end, Harlem continued the fast moving action, producing a sturdy danceable Menuetto. Allegretto. The trio, or middle section, quieted down into loving character.
Despite scattered clapping after each movement, this you-could-hear-a-pin-drop audience burst out with giant applause, smiles from Harlem, Dorchester appearing everywhere in the hall.
Harlem Quartet (file photo)
I am not quite so sure that Harlem's crossing over, as they have done for years, really worked in Peabody Hall. That amazing resonance, coupled with the quartet's own penchant for big sound and abundant action, generated heaviness foreign to the likes of jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and salsa composer Rafael Hernandez. That unyielding straight-ahead boldness favored by the quartet mostly eschewed nuance and diction of America's indigenous art form. The offbeat riffing of the cello became an annoyance in "Night in Tunisia." "El Cumbanchero" fared but a tad better when it softly delivered an episodic passage before opening up with a brilliant crescendo. Otherwise, those inflections that define musica Latina morphed into Harlem's particular personality.
The program's length was just right. Perhaps Harlem's choice of Felix Mendelssohn's String Quartet, Opus 44, No. 2 could be questioned, though perhaps not, as the quartet played with punch, winding up with a Presto agitato that was altogether inviting in and of itself. The Andante plodded along, that Peabody Hall resonance factor possibly playing into that effect.
Before that slow third movement, the first violinist for some reason asked the children seated on the floor in close proximity to the quartet to take their original seats. I could not hear his words that came as a surprise accompanied by an uncomfortable feeling.
Fatigue began setting in as the Mendelssohn progressed, due, I believe, to quartet's underestimating how truly big it was sounding. But then, such a program requires some kind of stamina on the part of the listener.
As to Artistic Director Mary Beth Alger encouragement of clapping after single movements, , it can be noted that after a few rounds of same, applause dropped off. Maybe better to wait until the end of a large work to unleash those handclaps and bravos that issued forth from AHCM's wonderfully composed audience for the end. All that "joyful noise" Harlem Quartet surely earned.
Harlem Quartet's members are: Ilmar Gavilan and Melissa White, violins, Jaime Amador, viola, and Felix Umansky, cello.
David Patterson, Professor of Music and former Chairman of the Performing Arts Department at UMass Boston, was recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award and the Chancellor's Distinction in Teaching Award. He studied with Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen in Paris and holds a PhD from Harvard University. He is the author of 20 Little Piano Pieces from Around the World (G. Schirmer). www.notescape.net

Q: How to change the colors in the Eclipse spell suggestion? As you can see there is nothing to see in the spell suggestion window:

How can I change at the colors so it becomes readable?
I am using this Eclipse version on SLES 12.3:

Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)
Build id: 20170314-1500

A: This has been improved in Oxygen. Please upgrade.


Task 1: The following questions are just a guide for you to prepare a presentations on war poetry.
Name some war poets and famous poems.
How are soldiers typically portrayed? Is there a common theme which unites the various countries? What do these representations tell us about the society which produced such an image?
What are the roles which children played in wartime propaganda" Why were children "essential victims" in the war?
What was the role played by women in war times?
What is the typical message/imagery in war poems?
What are Sassoon's views of the war, of the soldier, and of death created in his poems?
Some literary historians have argued that of the war poets, Wilfred Owen is the better poet. Do you agree or disagree, and why?
Overall, what value does poetry have for the historian of war? Can poetry be used to examine the nature of the war experience, and if so, how? Are there other sources which are "better" for the study of war, and if so what/why?
Each group will be in charge of analysing a war poem and teach it to the class.
Task 4: Think of a war, or conflict today. Find a poem which deals with that topic. Share it with the class.
Task 5: Prepare a post in your blog which includes the presentation on war poetry, the poem analysed in class , all the poems presented by each and every group and the poem on a current conflict or war!

Q: Splitting a WHERE sql clause into array I am trying to split a String which is the WHERE clause of a SQL statement into an array with 5 outputs where the following data is hold under each index:
0 - The initial clauses (WHERE/AND/OR) plus any open brackets. e.g "AND((("
1 - Either the table the first clause comes from or "VALUE" if its a value. e.g. "transactions".
2 - The field name or value. e.g. "id"
3 - The joining value. e.g. >
4 - Either the table the second clause comes from or "VALUE" if its a value. e.g. "transactions".
5 - The field name or value. e.g. "id"
6 - Any closing brackets. e.g. ")))"

For example looping through the following String would output the following arrays:
WHERE transactions.status_code= 'AFA 2'
AND (transactions.supp_ref = supplier.supp_ref
AND supplier.supp_addr_ref = address.addr_ref)
OR transactions.user_code = user.user_code

output[0] = "WHERE"
output[1] = "transactions"
output[2] = "status_code"
output[3] = "="
output[4] = "VALUE'
output[5] = "AFA 2"
output[6] = ""

output[0] = "AND("
output[1] = "transactions"
output[2] = "supp_ref"
output[3] = "="
output[4] = "supplier"
output[5] = "supp_ref"
output[6] = ""

output[0] = "AND"
output[1] = "supplier"
output[2] = "supp_addr_ref"
output[3] = "="
output[4] = "address"
output[5] = "addr_ref"
output[6] = ")"

output[0] = "OR"
output[1] = "transactions"
output[2] = "user_code"
output[3] = "="
output[4] = "user"
output[5] = "user_code"
output[6] = ""

For the rest of the SQL statement I have successfully split it up in similar ways using the String.Split method, however due to the variances of the where clause I am having difficulties doing this on this part. From looking around I think I would be better using a Regex expression, but cant work out whats needed. Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

A: Ok, so first off I think regex might not be the best fit for what you are trying to do. That being said Here is a regex that will parse what you have posted and turn it into what you are looking for:
(?<Group>(?<Concat>where|\s*?\)?\s*?and\s*?\(?|\s*?\)?\s*?or\s*?\(?)(?<TableName>[\w\s]+(?=\.))\.?(?<ColName>.+?(?=\=|like|between|\<\>|\>\=|\<\=|in|\>|\<))\s*?(?<Compare>\=|like|between|\<\>|\>\=|\<\=|in|\>|\<)(?<Value>.*?(?=\s*?and\s*?\(*|or\*?\(*)|.*))

I'm sure this doesn't cover everything and depending on the regex parser this might behave differently. I use  The Regulator for my regex work.
I would suggest writing a parser that does this. Take a look at what I have below, it might help if you decide to go this route. I wasn't entirely sure what you were doing with that "VALUE" string you have there but if you are looking to identify what is a value and what is a table.colName you could easily add that to this. It's going to be harder to identify things like in ('a', 'b') but I think it is dooable.
    //A list of chars that we are going to replace with \s"char"\s this list may not be complete.
    // . is not in here. We will take care of that later.
    static string[] specChars = new string[] { "<", ">", "<=", ">=", "=", "like", "in", "between", "or", "and", "(", ")", "where" };
    static string[] delims = new string[] {"and", "or", "where" };
    static string testData = @"WHERE transactions.status_code= 'AFA 2'

    AND supplier.supp_addr_ref = address.addr_ref)
    OR transactions.user_code = user.user_code";
