Fascinating facts about Elvis Presley including his relationship with The Beatles
Watch Elvis Presley sing jazzy version of 'Heartbreak Hotel'
Long before Elvis Presley's If I Can Dream album or his Las Vegas shows in the 1970s, Elvis performed with an orchestra to sing a jazzy version of "Heartbreak Hotel". While most would agree that the result was less than desirable, the performance of Presley with the Dorsey Brothers orchestra in 1956 was actually the first time he had ever performed the song on national TV.
Elvis with The Dorsey Brothers, 1956
On February 11, 1956, Elvis made his third appearance on Stage Show, a musical variety show hosted by big band leaders and brothers, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey. Even though Elvis had performed twice already on January 28 and February 4, 1956, he did not sing his newest single, "Heartbreak Hotel", until the February 11 show.
It was surprising that Elvis waited for his third appearance to perform Heartbreak Hotel since it had been released on January 27. Author Allen J. Wiener explains in his book, Channeling Elvis, that "it may be that Elvis hadn't sufficient time to rehearse the song" to perform it on his initial Stage Show live performance.
Although The Dorsey Brothers liked Elvis on a personal level, they did not like his music. In fact, they pleaded with the show's producer, comedian Jackie Gleason, to not have him on any additional shows, according to June Taylor of The June Taylor Dancers, who performed on all six shows that Elvis appeared on.
"They were begging Jackie every single week to take him off the show," Taylor said, "but Jackie said 'No! He's a big hit!'" Gleason even chose to extend Presley's contract to appear on two additional shows after the first four appearances.
Before each TV appearance, Elvis and his band, which included guitarist Scotty Moore, bassist Bill Black and drummer D.J. Fontana, would rehearse their performance in front of the Dorsey Brothers. Someone made the decision to allow the Dorsey Brothers orchestra to take over the instrumentation for "Heartbreak Hotel" that night and basically leave Elvis' band out of the song.
Watch Elvis sing first "Blue Suede Shoes" and then "Heartbreak Hotel" on Stage Show, February 11, 1956
Most disturbing is that Scotty's guitar riff, an integral part of the song that sets a bluesy tone, was replaced by horns, and the famous guitar solo by Scotty was replaced by an out-of-place trumpet solo. If John Lennon and Keith Richards had heard this version of "Heartbreak Hotel", they would have surely cringed.
"The Dorsey orchestra unintentionally sabotages the number by playing along with Elvis, whose own combo is out of sight and barely heard," Wiener describes. "On its own, either style of music is palatable, but together they clearly constitute a melodic train wreck."
Elvis' performance was electrifying as usual as he tries to make the best out of the awkward-sounding music coming from behind him on stage. This historic moment on television was clearly a symbol of how the old-time mainstream performers would soon be seen as outdated, making room for the younger generation of music stars.
Luckily, the next two times Elvis performed "Heartbreak Hotel" on Stage Show, his band was center stage playing the song, while the big band orchestra can only be heard faintly in the background. In this one simple example, it seems like the older generation's futile attempt to take the edge out of rock and roll quickly failed. As they soon would realize, there would be no stopping Elvis Presley or rock and roll!

State representative seeks changes to bail bond system
The reform package would create a financial information form that defendants would complete and Michigan judges would use to set a cash bond amount
State representative seeks changes to bail bond system The reform package would create a financial information form that defendants would complete and Michigan judges would use to set a cash bond amount Check out this story on thetimesherald.com: https://www.thetimesherald.com/story/news/local/2018/10/19/state-representative-seeks-changes-bail-bond-system/1696457002/
Liz Shepard and Bob Gross, Port Huron Times Herald Published 2:30 p.m. ET Oct. 19, 2018
Pamela Hornberger(Photo: Courtesy photo.)
State Rep. Pamela Hornberger, R-Chesterfield Township, has introduced legislation to change the bail bond system in order to reduce what she says is overcrowding in county jails.
In a news release, Hornberger said about 41 percent of the people housed in Michigan's county jails are there because they cannot post bail.
"The system is broken," Hornberger said. "Too many people accused of minor crimes are stuck in jail because they can't afford their bail, putting them at risk for losing their jobs, housing and custody of their children. They're forced to serve a punishment before they are even convicted of a crime."
St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon, who sits on the legislative committee of the state sheriff association, said members are aware of the nine-bill package regarding bail reform.
"We're working with the sponsors," he said.
Donnellon said the St. Clair County jail is not facing overcrowding, with the exception of the number of female inmates. He said that population is due to the opioid epidemic.
He said while there are a number of inmates who might not have the means to make bond, there are also others you don't want to make bond.
"Every circumstance is a little bit different," Donnellon said.

He also noted judges will give those convicted of crimes credit for time served.
"It can pose a problem, but we have a very good relationship with our courts in this county and with our magistrates," Donnellon said.
"We have a newer facility, we manage it well and we're able to keep our bed count within check."
The reform package would create a basic financial information form that defendants would complete and Michigan judges would use to set a more appropriate cash bond amount, according to the news release. Specifically, Hornberger's bill would establish a penalty for anyone who knowingly lies or misrepresents their status on the financial disclosure form.
Other parts of the nine-bill package:
Make a personal recognizance bond the presumed condition of pretrial release for defendants accused of non-violent crimes.
Require Michigan courts to make bail findings on the record.
Require district courts to submit data on bail practices to the State Court Administrative Office.
Hornberger said defendants considered dangerous to the community, as well as anyone deemed unlikely to attend court hearings, would still receive high bail bond or be jailed without the possibility of pretrial release.
The legislation, House Bills 6455-63, was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Theodore Barker was finally a free man. It came as a surprise, as it had been made very clear to him that he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life for his heinous crimes, yet here he was only nine years later, being transported aboard a military ship. The same procedure was followed as the day he was taken to the prison nine years ago - under direct request of a well-respected nobleman, Mr Greene no doubt, the location of his imprisonment was to be kept secret even from Theodore himself, and so he was transported alone and with a black bag over his head. Unfortunately, hearing the waves did not provide much insight other than that he was no longer on Strawberry Hill.
As they reached their destination, the ex-prisoner was taken onto dry land and his restraints removed as he was allowed to see his surroundings. "Here we are. I don't know what possessed the chief to sign an early release for you, but I don't need to warn you that if I catch you make one wrong move, we'll be hounding after you within seconds to throw you back in jail where you belong… so you'd better be on your best behaviour."
Theodore stared at the officer who gave his warning with a bored expression. He had long given up on telling everyone that he was innocent. He had always been on his best behaviour since the moment he met his wife, who would be quick to slap his wrists if he was anything but. Sighing, he took his belongings as they were returned to him, a simple bag with his set of razors and his wallet - which had conveniently been emptied of all its currency. "Thanks…" he grumpily uttered before turning around to make way to his wife, but he only took a single step forward and then he froze, unable to recognise these streets. Then he saw the sign.
"Toroa!?" He blurted out, spinning around to face the officer again, but the uniformed man was already back on board his ship and raising the gangplank to prevent Theodore from following. "There's been a mistake! I need to be on Strawberry Hill Island, not Toroa!" he shouted across the distance that separated him from his only chance at getting home.
The chuckling that came from the officer confused Theodore, but the next words to come from the officer explained everything: "Mr Greene sends his regards!"
"That slimy fat worm…" was one of the less creative things Theodore responded with, as he watched the officer sail away and leave him on a foreign island with absolutely no money or means of getting by. Well, perhaps that wasn't true, he did have his set of razors and, thankfully, the clothes on his back, but he felt it would be highly unlikely that anybody would pay him for a random shave out in the streets.
The muscular man hooked his razors onto his belt as he faced the city once more, a frown perpetually pasted on his ungroomed face. For a moment, he simply stood there, eyeing his surroundings as he tried to formulate some sort of plan as he reeled himself in from a potential fit of rage.
First things first, he thought to himself, No point standing around and waiting for the heavens to open up and suck me through a wormhole that will take me directly to my wife… as nice as that would be. Theodore began walking through the streets, paying attention to the signs that he passed to get an idea of what he was moving toward. I can't afford to sneak my way onto a free ride, I'm sure they would just be waiting for me to try that… while the idea of it seemed perfectly doable, if he got caught, he would immediately be stripped of his freedom once more, and that was enough to prompt the man to stick to legal means of travel, at least until any other secure alternative would present itself.
Money, food… he paused as he went through a mental list of things he needed most right now, glancing down at the t-shirt he had, characteristically a size too small. It was also a t-shirt that he had been wearing for a few days on the ship now, but he had no other to change into. Sighing once more, his disdain for the wealthy only grew further and he continued walking.
Surely there had to be some sort of charitable event somewhere on this island - did they do nothing to care for the downtrodden? He walked for a long time, keeping his eyes peeled for any advertisement of an open buffet or something similar, something that would undoubtedly show off a wealthy family's generosity and financial status for the sake of publicity more than it did for the purpose of being kind, the dreaded realisation that he might actually be stuck here for more than a few hours crept it, and it made him groan and roll his eyes.
His stomach seemed to have a similar response as it let out a loud growl, as it had been craving proper food for the past nine years.

Myra 1
Young lady Raven was overwhelmed by many tasks. She was trying her best, but when she solved one thing another tree occurred and she didn´t count letters into it. She completely ignored them and found one sympathetic corner in Gabriel´s office for them.
She stared at the doors and was trying to come up with some idea. Myra was trying to remember why she arrived here but was too tired to remember.
"I should do something…"
She muttered and looked at the pile of letters and shook her head. She wasn´t prepared and whoofing from outside meant only one thing. It was time to walk the dogs! It sounded like the task; she was able to do.
The young lady stood up and looked outside the window. At the first glance, she was sure she didn´t want to do it because she saw the postmaster. That traitorous dogs were whoofing at him not because they wanted to walk! She frowned.
"Fine, I will read today´s letters…"
She growled and observed leaving the postmaster. Myra with an expression suited for someone´s funeral came down to pick up three envelopes. It looked promising because usually there were more letters.
Myra slowly returned to the office, sat down, and took the first letter. Some naïve guy wanted to came and learn martial arts. Myra didn´t finish the letter and put it aside. It was time for the second letter. She read it once and took the envelope, but it was addressed to her.
She raised eyebrow and read the letter second time. Young lady Raven wasn´t sure why should she be interested in one released criminal or why someone wrote her about him. She opened the third letter and in half of the letter returned to the second one. She had to admit, that this was more interesting then another martial arts enthusiast so it was time to find the ex criminal

The hungry man kept his eyes open as he continued to wander the streets with very little indication of where he was going, until he finally spotted a colourful, hand-painted banner.
'Gulliver's Travelling Generosities'
Visit Central Square to have a helping hand extended to YOU!
Because YOU matter
Staring at the bright letters on a yellow backdrop, Theodore couldn't help but wonder if the poorly outlined artwork was even painted by the wealthy man himself or if he got some underling to do it for him, underpaid or not paid at all, no doubt, perhaps even forced to do the work.
With a little scoff, he shook his head, but couldn't believe his luck. Locating this event couldn't have been easier as there was even a drawing of the man's moustached face in the right corner of the banner for the sake of recognising the man's face. Clearly wishing to make a spectacle of his wealth and have his generosity be a widely recognised gesture, there were more than enough signs around that would take the wandering ex-prisoner right to the place he needed to be, and he wasn't the only one heading there. Some people spoke of this Gulliver individual like he was some kind of god, sent to save them of their poverty and they thanked some mystical being for sending him to Toroa island. All those people got was an eye-roll from Theodore, though he couldn't blame these people for their ignorance. They were desperate and in need of somebody to believe in and keep them going. It was sad to see that they turned to such a figure who was likely part of the cause of their suffering, but his sympathy was truly reserved for those who made it clear that they were not visiting Mr Gulliver by choice, but out of necessity.
These people showed no loyalty or blind worship toward the man as if he were a golden idol, as did the previous group of people. No, these were plagued with an anger and spite that Theodore himself was familiar with - they were very well aware that they had been scorned by the rich, and this very man was a part of that category. Yet they were also hungry and desperate, and this conflict urged them to internalise their ill feelings into a perpetual frown on their faces that immediately communicated their dissatisfaction with life.
Theodore fit in with neither of these groups. He could never see Gulliver and his kind as anything close to a saviour, but rather a wolf who preyed upon the poor and used them to make his own name more grandiose. However, he was not in such a situation of the other set of people either, he was not living in poverty, he was simply in a temporary difficult situation.
As he reached the Central Square, he saw that several tables were set up all over the open space with items stacked upon them and one sharply dressed individual at each, handing out a few. They must have been Gulliver's workers. Eyeing the contents of each table, ranging from reading materials, utensils, children's toys, and, on the largest table of all with the largest group of people flocked around it, a wide variety of food items.
It was a sorry sight… as he stood there, Theodore knew that he couldn't take any of these items. Anything that he took, a starving man, woman, or child will be without. Of course, he already knew the nature of this event when he set out on his walk to this place, and so, he soon fixed his eyes on the real target that he was here for - behind Gulliver himself, who stood on a pedestal to oversee the event and offer a forced smile or wave from his distanced and safe location, was a tent with a sign that read 'reserved'.
"Hel-lo…" the supposedly reformed criminal sang quietly to himself and began to roam the area, scouting about to inspect how heavily guarded the tent was. As he moved around quietly, it didn't take him very long to determine that there were two guards at the front, one on either side of Gulliver, and only one more stationed at the back of the tent. Judging by the lack of human shadows to be seen through the fabric of the structure, there was nobody inside. Cautious of making his presence known through suspicious circling of the tent, he didn't walk around it more than a single time before creating some distance to watch from afar. It would only be a matter of time until one of the hungry people there got greedy and stirred up a ruckus. In fact, it happened soon after he even had this thought, as a scream filled the air.
"Give it to me, I had it first!" a woman shouted as she was in a tug of war with a homeless man who was clutching onto the other end of a large bag of rice.
As chaos broke out, Mr Tedd made his move, sharpened razor in his hand. He only needed a brief moment for the guard to look away, and the woman's shriek was enough of a distraction to prompt him to do just that. Moving quickly, the barber swiftly cut a slit in one of the four fabric walls that made the tent, and he was inside.
"Thank you very much for your travelling generosities, Mr Gulliver. A helping hand that I really needed, because I do matter." He silently muttered to himself, mocking the slogan on the banner as he looked through a couple of bags. Not planning on taking more than he needed to both ensure his greed didn't get the better of him and also to limit the chances of being caught, he took a bit of this and a bit of that, stuffed everything into one rucksack, and he was out of the tent before the guards had even grasped what was going on among the people, as the spat between two grew into a heavy brawl.
With a bag of fancier snacks that must have been reserved for his meeting with the more important people of Toroa, as well as some clothing and a few pieces of jewellery, Theodore was quite disappointed to find that the wealthy man was actually not stupid enough to leave his money lying around for him to snatch up.
Nevertheless, Theodore left the scene without being noticed, his straight razor back on his belt, and a warm feeling in his heart as he had to admit to himself... stealing from the rich certainly did feel good.

There was one big problem. She needed to look for an unknown criminal without knowing where to start her manhunt. Young lady Raven sighed and opened the window. It was time to enjoy the benefits of her raven form.
She waved with her wings, and everything seemed much easier as she left everything down below her. Myra flew down to the port and hoped that the ship with the ex-prisoner will be still there, but the ship was gone. It wasn´t long since the vessel departed, because she could see it.
"Kraaaa"
Myra smiled. This was exactly what she needed to improve her mood. She landed on a lamp and looked around. Nothing suspicious, so the question was, where will someone freshly release go? She was thinking and observing people on the ground.
Sailors were preferring local pubs, so their way was easily estimable. Was Mr. Theodor like them and wanted t to celebrate his freedom? Probably yes. Myra was flying down when she noticed a colorful banner promising help.
Raven landed on it and was thinking. There was only a slight chance, that her prey would be reasonable and will miss the opportunity to celebrate freedom after all those years. BUT there was still a chance. The true was that the criminal in better clothes and well-fed will be harder to find than the drunken one.
Myra was enjoying her small hunt. She needed to decide quickly. This decision was hard to make, but she spread her wings and followed the crowd to a small square. The situation there was simple, some local politic wanted to be more popular so she bought some food and clothes. The whole crowd had to listen to him, while they were waiting in line for their share.
Young lady Raven landed on the roof and waited if Mr. Theodor show himself in the crowd. There was only a small chance and miss Raven wasn´t patient. Her target was probably drinking at a local port and she was only overthinking everything.
"No… there you are"
Myra muttered to herself as she noticed a thief with the face from the poster she got in the letter.
She patiently waited and observed the man, who was entering the tent from behind. It was amazing, how easy it was. When the criminal left, she grabbed him for his shoulders and landed with him on the roof.
"Once criminal, every time criminal, aren´t you?"
Myra released him and observed his reaction like a cat prepared for a hunt. Will he run or will he try to talk to a talking bird? She wanted to play little longer.
Perhaps the thief had celebrated too early, as a sudden thud on Theodore's shoulders and before he knew it his feet were no longer on the ground. Nearly dropping the bag and losing its contents, he quickly grabbed onto it as he struggled for a moment in the large raven's grasp, until he realised that breaking free while so high up in the air would not be a good idea.
It wasn't until he was released on the rooftop that he could really process what just happened - he was lifted into the air by a large raven… a large raven that was talking to him.
Staring at her in disbelief, Tedd's mouth, framed as it was by a perfectly styled goatee, was left open for a few seconds, though no sound came from it. He suddenly felt like he had missed so much of the world in the past nine years, entirely lost and confused as to what was going on here and what this creature was. Finally, he shook his head and straightened up, the backpack securely on one shoulder while his other hand immediately went for his razor.
"Look, I don't know what nightmare that piteous child dragged you out of to send you here after me…" he started, wrongfully assuming that this was a part of Greene's plan, and perhaps he had succeeded at achieving his goal; Theodore was creeped out and a little bit worried. The guard was very clear, if he was caught breaking the law, they would be hounding after him in the blink of an eye, and this raven certainly did stay true to that time schedule. "But you just dumped me here on some island that I don't know, without any food and money. If you throw a hungry piranha in a tank with other fish and no food, it's going to do what it needs to survive and that will be your fault, not the piranha's."
Hesitating, he began to move backward toward the edge of the roof, razor in hand. Preferring not to physically harm anyone - human or not - he glanced down to catch a quick glimpse of what lay below to weigh his options before turning back to Myra.
"I'm not going back to prison…"

He was staring at her. It was such a boring reaction. She hoped for more from a life-sentenced criminal, but still, there was a chance for some fun. She hoped so. Myra decided to be generous and gave some time to the thief.
And indeed, patience seemed to be the key because her target started moving, and HE started SPEAKING! Young lady Raven was proud of herself and of her self-control. She wasn´t offended when he called her part of someone´s nightmare, quite opposite. It was so interesting to listen to what came to the mind of this thief, so she stayed silent.
"I do not recommend you try to jump there"
Myra commented behavior of that man, who was approaching the edge of the roof.
"Unless you have wings … which you obviously haven´t."
It seemed that he was afraid of prison. She wasn´t sure why, because there was always some way out. But it wasn´t her problem.
"But don´t worry, the price of your head is too low for me to send you to prison."
She said with an amused voice.
"But it seems you have an interesting story to tell, and I have some spare time and food. What do you think? Or is a piranha afraid of sharks?"
The Raven asked politely, but the refusal wasn´t an option. She was decided and lazily spread her wings. She wasn´t in a hurry and the second option was to play with the mouse and cat.

Mr Barker frowned as Myra rightfully warned him not to jump unless he was prepared to go splat on the pavement below. It was indeed far higher than he expected it to be and he had no guarantee of surviving an attempt to clamber down. Furthermore, this was a bird. He was currently held hostage by a bird… as ridiculous as that sounded, he had to acknowledge it, as it did put forward a set of challenges that were very different to being up against a human assailant.
The next two things that Myra said were both relieving and unnerving - so had there been a better reward more satisfying to her, she would indeed send him back to prison. Then she mentioned him having an interesting story to tell, which led him to believe that she must have very little to do with Lawrence Greene, the man who framed him nine years ago and now deposited him on this island… it was either that, or he did not share any details with this hired… raven.
"Is that what you call yourself?" He asked, the irony not missed on him that a creature of the sky was labeling herself one of the sea. "A shark?" With a chuckle, Tedd shook his head, pointing at her with the razor in his hand. Was he afraid of her? The answer was yes, she had just lifted him a significant number of feet into the air and dropped him on this rooftop, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. If that wasn't enough, who in their right mind wouldn't be afraid of a giant talking omen of death?
However, this feathered creature claimed to have food… and Theodore was quite hungry.
"What do you want?" The barber and ex-convict asked as he sighed at the same time, his weapon lowered as his large shoulders slumped. "If you weren't sent by Mr Greene, then why did you target me? I'm just trying to find a way to survive here. I would like to get home to my wife, that's all… but I don't have any money for the ferry."
At this point, he folded up his razor and put it back on his belt. In truth, he couldn't imagine it would be very useful against such a creature anyway, and while he had a lot of anger and resentment toward certain people, he couldn't bring himself to harm an animal.
"Whatever this is, I don't want to get mixed up in it. Yes, I stole some food, because I was left here with nothing, but other than that, I'm keeping my nose clean. So…" Pausing once more, he watched the raven, his calm demeanor washing over him once more. His frustration was betrayed only by the hint of sarcasm in his next statement. "If you would be so kind as to provide safe passage back down to street level, that would be brilliant, thank you."

Young Raven was amused. She was thinking if everyone will be so funny when she took them on a short visit to some roof. Maybe she should try later, but not now. She still had her cute piranha.
Myra was so generous and waited until the barber finished talking.
"Oh, I am not planning to release you now. Later sure, but I want that story of yours."
She flew up and grabbed the poor barber again. She wasn´t heading down. She flew swiftly above the streets of the city and wasn´t planning to stop.
"You know, someone wrote me a letter, that you will be released on this island. No money included. Just information that you will make a lot of mess here. I hate when someone is trying to use my services without paying."
When they almost left the city and the forest closer and closer, she changed direction. Young lady Raven landed on the balcony of the old mansion, which was for few weeks under her command.
"But after all, I hate boredom, so would you be so kind and tell me your story?"
Myra released the thief on the balcony and opened the doors inside. It led to a big dining room. A wooden table and chairs were all covered by fabric to protect them from dust. Myra or anyone else wasn´t usually using this room, but it was quite suitable for letting stranger inside.
The young lady finally transformed into her human form, while she was still moving towards door out of the room. She was almost ignoring poor barber in her self confidence for a while.
She said and finally find what was she looking for. Myra rang the bell on the small cabinet beside the doors to call a servant.

Unlike Myra, Theodore was not the least bit amused by this turn of events. On the contrary, he was quite frustrated and disheartened as he saw that returning home to his wife any time soon was becoming more of a dream and less of a reality with each passing second.
"My story's not-" the barber was cut off as the raven was suddenly up in the air again. As she flew toward him, he instinctively moved backward to get away from her, his heel hit the ledge of the rooftop and his entire body nearly toppled over - until he found himself in the grasp of the large raven and hurled into the air again. Her crow's feet slammed into his body with a hefty thud, her talons a lot sharper than he expected them to be as it felt like they were cutting into his shoulder and collarbone.
Then he was up in the air again.
As he hugged his backpack close, he could feel his grip on it beginning to slip, and some of the items fell out and rained down onto the city as they flew overhead. Tedd cursed beneath his breath as the glistening diamonds on a piece of jewellery sparkled in the distance among some food items as they all fell further and further out of sight, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. One arm was wrapped around the bag, his hand clutching it as tightly as he could, while his other hand was gripping the massive bird's leg in fear of being dropped.
"This is insane!" he grumbled, hopeful that all of this could be some kind of twisted nightmare, but the throbbing pain just below his left collar bone, the bird's pointed toe digging into his flesh, was a sharp reminded that it was not.
At last, Lady Raven found a spot to release him upon reaching the balcony. Tedd landed on his feet, but grabbed onto the railing to maintain his balance - everything was spinning after that ride and it took him a moment to regain his bearings. The hunger that he felt earlier was now a blessing - had he eaten anything proper, it would probably no longer be in his stomach by now.
Watching his captor enter the room, her transformation into a human form caused his jaw to hang open in astonishment for a moment. He'd never seen anything quite like it - nor like her.
The woman's verbal prompt elicited a sigh from the barber as Tedd realised that playing whatever game this was to her seemed to be the only way out of it.
"Okay… My story…" he paused for a few seconds, not quite sure where to start, nor that it would be as exciting to her as she seemed to anticipate. "I was framed for murder, theft and money laundering… spent the last nine years in prison for crimes I did not commit, and was just told that I've been granted an early release. Greene, the guy I mentioned earlier, was the wealthy neighbour, the one who set me up in jealous rage of our success, while his own business was failing and overshadowed. I don't know what else to tell you - I shouldn't be here, I should be on Strawberry Hill Island."
Sighing once more as he tried his very best to remain calm and not lose his temper - which he felt he was doing a very good job of so far - his eyes were now fixed on Myra. He followed her into the room while he spoke, but didn't dare touch any of the furniture or the fabric that covered it.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, or whatever it is that the letter says. I want nothing more than to get off this island and go home." As tempting as it was to try and appeal to the woman's human side in search for sympathy, he somehow doubted that he would get very much from her. Adjusting his bag on his shoulder, he frowned and put forward a more daring question instead. "What else is stated in the letter?"

Her quest was unexpectedly quit. He stopped demanding anything else and he was staying behind. Myra smiled because there were only two options.
The first one was, that he suddenly died because of a heart attack. The other option was that he simply accepted the rules that she gave him. Luckily, the second one showed to be because her guest started talking.
Young lady Raven victoriously smiled and listened to the story.
"Sit down, please. Be my guest"
She turned at the barber and pointed at one random chair. Despite his story seemed to be more boring than expected, it was still like from some novel. She likes novels and that meant she wanted more details … and maybe find some way to make his story more like one of her favorite novels.
"Slow down, please. You wanted something to eat, or am I wrong?"
Myra asked with a smile, but she wasn´t expecting a denial. She will be pretty angry if her offer will be turned down.
A few moments later the servant showed up. He was surprised when he noticed the unknown man. He was trying to hide his surprise.
"How can I help you? "
Myra sighed.
"Just bring me something to eat and drink for my friend."
Myra looked at the servant without moving until he closed the doors.
"Excuse him, I don´t have visits often. So you have to love your wife pretty much after all those years?"
She grabbed fabric on one chair and swiftly tugged it.
"How are you planning to leave this island?"
Myra was obviously curious.
"Aren´t you worried that your ´friend´ will send you back to prison?"
She was asking with the curiosity of someone who obviously didn´t completely understand the problem of being in prison. It was something new to Myra.
"Oh, why don´t you escape from prison?"

Tedd tried his best not to stare at the woman before him, who had just been a large bird soaring through the skies only moments before, but that was proving to be quite the challenge. Nevertheless, his curiosity was not quite as strong to make it an impossible task, and as he was invited to sit, his attention turned to the indicated chair.
Scanning the seat like it was some sort of deathtrap, he stood still for a second or two. He didn't want to sit, and he didn't want to talk. All he wanted to do was go home... but he had no means to do so yet.
Taking a deep breath, he walked to the chair, taking his backpack with him and he sat down as cautious as a man treading a minefield. Once he was seated and saw that nothing exploded, he placed his bag on the floor between his feet and sat back, watching her.
"Yes, I do." He was about to continue with a polite refusal of her offer for food since he had managed to steal some from that tent back at the village square, although he wasn't quite sure how many of those food items actually remained in his bag and hadn't fallen out while he was being transported through the air. Perhaps it was luck that he looked at her when he did, as the look on her face was enough to suggest that declining such a generous offer from her would be a grave mistake. "Thank you," the barber made sure to add with a weary smile.
Then the servant entered the room and Mr Barker couldn't quite determine if the shock on the man's face was genuine surprise or terror of whatever ordeal was in store for him next at the mercy of this lady.
Dismissing his fears, he relaxed his shoulders and focussed on Myra's words. The mention of his wife instantly brought a more honest smile to his face and he nodded. "Yes, I do love her very much. The past years apart have been hard on her as much as on me, I'm sure. I look forward to seeing her again."
His eyes followed her as he spoke, watching the fabric pulled away so swiftly in a single practiced movement. Everything about this woman was very precise and clinical, including the manner in which she asked her questions that were direct and fed on recalled information. Likewise, this room had its furniture covered to remain protected, kept in almost pristine condition, and her movements were graceful and calculated. Yet, although everything that she appeared to do seemed with purpose, some of her questions were… odd.
"A simple ferry off the island will do." Theodore started with her first question of the three, after waiting a moment to see if any more would come. "I don't have any money on me for a ticket though, so I hoped to…" hesitating, he wanted to say 'find', but he was sure that they were both capable of reading between the lines to understand that he means 'steal'. Reconsidering his word choice, he took a different route. "Earn a little something… there must be somebody, somewhere on this island, who needs a haircut or a beard trimming. As for being worried about being sent back to prison, I have no intention of making the same mistake twice. If I stay out of trouble, there's no reason my release should be revoked."
Another pause followed as he thought about how to respond to her last question without a sarcastic remark. Why don't I just escape from prison…? Does she not understand how prisons work, or is she completely oblivious to the limitations of humans who do not have wings? For the first time, Tedd wondered if he was looking at a woman who had the ability to transform into a raven, or a raven who could present itself in the shape of a woman.
"I… can't." Controlling the confusion that threatened to reveal itself by means of a deep frown was hard enough without having to come up with an elaborate answer to her question. The answer should be obvious. "There will be a lot of security, I'll never make it past the recess gate," he added, perhaps in an attempt to rationalise her question.

You can use any kind of milk you like. Sometimes I am able to get milk from my goat or the neighbor's cow. Other times, I go to the store and buy organic milk or Promise Land milk. In the store, I like the Promise Land milk because it tastes closest to the milk I used to get in India when I was a child.
Place milk and yogurt culture on your counter and let them come up to room temperature. The reason for this is, that the more gradually you bring your ingredients up to temperature, the smoother and creamier your yogurt will be.
Place the milk in the stainless steel pot over medium high heat. Gradually bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, so that the milk does not stick or burn at the bottom of the pot.
As soon as you see the first boil remove the pot from the heat. Let the milk cool for about 10 minutes in the stainless steel pot. Stir occasionally. After 10 minutes transfer the milk to the glass or ceramic container. At this time, place your heating pad on the wooden board and turn it on to the low setting.
Continue to let cool, stirring occasionally, to prevent a skin from forming on the top. You will know it is cool enough, when you can put your finger in the milk, and it is hot to the touch without burning. This is how my grandmother and mother did it. But if you want to use a food thermometer, the temperature will be about 118 degrees Fahrenheit.
The milk is now ready to receive the yogurt culture. Add a ladle of the hot milk to the yogurt culture, stir and add it to the hot milk. Then stir again to evenly distribute the yogurt culture. Place the lid. Carefully place the lidded container on top of the preheated pad. Cover with the tea towels to protect from drafts. Let stand for 3 and half hours and you will have yogurt. If the weather is colder it may take longer for the yogurt to form. Take a look after 3 and half hours, if the yogurt is a bit loose replace the lid, cover it again and let it sit for an additional 2 hours.
Place in the refrigerator overnight to let it set. Enjoy fresh, creamy, yogurt the net day.
Recipe Notes: I prefer not to stir the yogurt the next day. Just scoop some out to eat and set half a cup aside as your next culture. This will be the culture you use for the next yogurt you make. As you use this culture, it will mature and become your own. It will help rebuild your gut with the good bacteria from your own environment.
The culture that I use belongs to my mom.
During her last few days in the hospital she kept asking me to make yogurt for her. After she passed, I found the last yogurt my mom made. I took it with me and have used it to make yogurt ever since. I have kept her culture alive. I hope you enjoy my family's recipe.
Put the remainder of the yogurt back in the refrigerator. As water and whey separate from the yogurt, it will become thicker and thicker. Keep the separated water and whey to make protein drinks or smoothies.
I will post more recipes to show other products this yogurt can be turned into. ENJOY!!!
If you have any questions or difficulties when making your yogurt, post a comment and I will help you out.
Would like to see recipes using the yogurt, a good base for dishes!
I have many recipes. I will be posting them overtime. Eventually they will be compiled into a cookbook format.
Last week my heating pad stopped working. I was looking for another heat source when I realized that my oven has a "PROOF" setting for bread baking. The PROOF setting is between 100 and 105, perfect for yogurt making. I used the PROOF setting to make yogurt and it worked !!! If you don't have a PROOF setting, you could set your oven to 100 and it should work.
My sister, Renu and her family visited us over the Thanksgiving weekend. It was the best Thanksgiving I ever had. Today Renu flew back to Chicago and took some of our mom's culture home with her. I am excited to see how her yogurt turns out. I am very happy to share our mom's culture with my sister.
Made the yogurt yesterday, and it was fantastic….so easy to make and soooo good…..
Thanks for letting me know. I am so glad it turned out well for you.

Nepal occupying only 0.01% of world shelters 10% of world's bird population. Probably, more than 5% of international tourist visit Nepal just for Bird Watching. Kapilvastu district of western Nepal is homeland to more than 168 species of birds. Jagadishpur reservoir and its significant farmland is one of the best destination for bird lovers to sight tremendous number of beauty of nature the birds in the season of winter. Illiteracy, unemployment and poverty has barred the people's participation in these lowlands. Two community based bird conservation Unit (CBBCU) is formed in Jagadishpur reservoir and Kudan of Southern Kapilvastu. These committee are formed to act as like Community based anti-poaching unit (CBAPU) in protected areas. The main function of these committee is Bird Patrolling, which is initiated in both place. Each committee consist 7 members and 23 Volunteers. Members include teachers, social worker, homestay owners, and women.

Question two this week comes from Michael, and he's asking a question about where some technological platforms sit between open and institutionally supported. Because there are a few things out there that tend to straddle both in some ways. So he's talking about ones that are quite functional or they may be adapted by an institution widely. But they're not something that's necessarily supported. So how do we actually classify those? >> So not every technology, first of all, has to be classified neatly into whether they're open or institutionally supported or closed, for example. Some of the examples that came through in that particular thread were, such as, Udemi, Skill Share, the Pearson products, in terms of My Math Lab, My Econ Lab. Those sort of things where students will have access to the technology and often times are quite similar to a learning management system because they have a combination of resources, quizzes, sometimes even video, and students can only access it if for example, they purchase the textbook that goes along with that platform or the instructor provides a code for them to use. So in a sense, they're closed in terms of it not being available for the public to use, unless they bought the textbook for example or it's part of a course. But they're not institutionally supported. And I think that's one of the main things to consider when selecting the technology you want to use in your course, is whether it's institutionally supported or not. >> So if I'm a teacher, the classification is one thing. >> Yeah. >> It' nice to know but. >> Yeah. >> If I'm a teacher and I'm trying to start something in one of these environments, what does that really mean for me? If it's institutionally supported for example, does that mean I walk down the hall and see my IT team, and they can fix something for me. And that's why that would be advantageous or. >> So every institution's different so I can't exactly provide an answer that would cover all institutions but generally speaking if it's institutionally supported like if Moodle is supported by your institution, Blackboard, anything like that that's actually supported. Maybe even a Pearson product, who knows? It's mostly your IT department is potentially hosting it or supporting it. It's more likely that you have that kind of access to support readily available. I can't say 100%, because it depends on your institution. So for example institutions that I've worked at the IT units, whether in my faculty or centrally are available to answer questions such as, what happens if the quiz doesn't work? What happens if I want to learn how to modify the quiz questions and I don't know how to? When they're non-institutionally supported, for example, like MyMathLab that came up in the thread, you may need to then go to that publisher or to that company to get the support. They might provide great support, in which case, great. You just need to pick up the phone and maybe you even have a local representative that can help you. But you just need to think of these kind of considerations when you're making your decision. Do you want to pick up the phone and try to get a hold of somebody? Do you have access to somebody down the hall, in your building, on your campus to get support. If you do, you might want to use the institutionally supported ones. If you don't, then you don't need to consider that. >> So it's about asking the right questions. And even thinking about what happens to the data if it's in a system that is not hosted by your institution and you need it for seven years after the fact. >> Yeah. >> Or something. So just think about those sorts of questions in terms of whether it's used or not. The level of support, the access to the data, privacy. >> The ease of use as well. So if your students are doing quizzes, for example, on different platform that's not integrated with your online grade book, for example, you'll then have to manually put the grades in. You just have to think, is that an issue for you? It might be, it might not be. So it always depends on your own circumstance, but you just want to make sure that you're considering all the factors when making your decision.

Anything in that we set our mind towards in life requires preparation. Whether it be mental, emotional, or physical preparation, most milestones in our lives are met through much conditioning and preparation. Before running a race, training is required. Before going to college, high school courses are required. Pregnancy is no different. As the body changes in preparation for the baby, some things may be instinctive for the mother and while others may not. Prenatal yoga prepares expecting mothers for their new journey by addressing those areas that are changing and strengthening those areas that are critical for a growing baby and its arrival. Prenatal yoga is not just about stretching, but it's a practice that tends to the mind, body, and spirit which directly and indirectly affects the baby.
How Yoga Can Help Stroke Survivors?
In recent years there has been more awareness on recognizing when someone is having a stroke than in the past, and I believe that speaks to our evolution as a society. Health is at the forefront in many regards and not just the recognition and prevention aspect, but rehabilitation, as well.
The statistics, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), show that on average, one American dies from a stroke every 4 minutes, and more than 795,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke each year. In addition to these numbers, strokes are also the leading cause of disability among adults in the United States. An estimated 6.8 million people–2.8% of the U.S. population– are living after having had a stroke, including 3.8 million women and 3 million men.

The death toll from Saturday's twin bombings in Baidoa Somalia has risen to 20 Militant group Al-shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack, which left 40 others wounded.
Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in restaurants in Baidoa in the early evening on Saturday. Islamist militant group Al shabab claimed responsibility for the attack. A spokesman for the group said it had targeted the restaurants because they were frequented by government troops.
On Sunday, a year to the day on which suspected al shabaab bombings killed more than 500 people in Mogadishu, a Somali military court carried out the execution of a man convicted of being involved in the attacks.
Al shabaab never claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were the deadliest since the group began its insurgency in 2007.

PLEA DEAL FREES CONVICTED RAPIST
By PATTI ROSENBERG Daily Press
YORK — A 19-year-old York County man was given a 10-year suspended prison sentence Tuesday for raping a drunk acquaintance at a party.
In an unusual twist, Daniel Hines was sentenced on a plea agreement entered after he was convicted by trial.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hines admitted he raped the young woman, said Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Phyllis Evans. In return, the state agreed to a suspended prison sentence.
Hines was also placed on 10 years' probation and ordered to pay restitution for the victim's counseling, Evans said.
During a trial this spring, Circuit Judge G. Duane Holloway found Hines and Daniel Morton, also 19, guilty of forcing themselves on the young woman.
Drunk and exhausted from too much partying one night in July 1993, she had gone to lie down alone in a bedroom at a friend's house when the defendants overpowered her, according to her testimony.
Hines and Morton admitted having sex with her. But they insisted that she consented.
In August, they filed motions requesting the verdict be set aside, saying that the victim lied. Holloway denied the request in a hearing last month.
Their attorneys indicated then that they'd be examining possible grounds for appeal after sentencing.
The unusual post-conviction plea agreement was desirable because it brought the case to closure, finally, and with an admission of responsibility, said Evans.
"Simply because the victim is intoxicated and helpless, that doesn't mean it's OK to have intercourse with her," Evans stressed. "From the very beginning, it was crucial for us to get that message across."
The victim has been harassed by the defendants' friends for the past year, Evans said. "What's been the most important thing to her is that these guys admit they raped her."
The victim was satisfied with the plea agreement, which had the added advantage of eliminating any avenue for appeal, Evans said.
Morton is scheduled to be sentenced this month, and the same plea agreement would probably be entered in his case, Evans said.
The plea agreement "seemed to be a good deal for the defendant because he's out of jail," said Michael Wood, one of Hines' attorneys.
Hines had been in custody at the York County Jail while pending sentence.
A pre-sentence report prepared by a probation officer recommended that Hines serve some period of confinement, but mentioned possible alternatives such as intensively supervised probation and home electronic monitoring, Evans and Wood said.

Paul McCobb 29 June 2017
The superb proportions and immaculate lines of Lanes Signature tables are the unmistakable hallmark of Paul McCobb... This is a group with enormous appeal to those seeking the ultimate in refined, sophisticated American Modern.
Lane manufacturer's catalog, c. 1962
Paul McCobb 1917–1969
Paul McCobb studied painting at the Vesper George School of Art in Boston but never completed his course work. With the outbreak of World War II, he enlisted in the Army Corps of Engineers but was honorably discharged shortly thereafter due to health issues. McCobb moved to New York to work as a product development engineer in the new medium of plastics and in 1945, he opened his own design firm, Paul McCobb Associates. In 1950, McCobb launched his first mass produced line of furniture known as the Planner Group in collaboration with B.G. Mesburg; this collection, with its sleek lines and warm finishes, was a hit, and the pieces were showcased in living rooms across America.
McCobb took inspiration from classic American styles like Windsor and Shaker, but transformed them into new and modern forms. As McCobb stated, "we don't design fads," and indeed his designs are imbued with a timeless quality. Further, McCobb pioneered the concept of the room divider, to which he attached desk sets, cabinets and shelves, coining the term "living walls." His work was featured prominently in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions (1950–1955), and he received MoMA Good Design awards in 1950, 1951, 1953, and 1954. In the 1960s, McCobb worked as an interior design consultant for corporations like Columbia Records, Singer Manufacturing Company, Bell & Howell Company, and Alcoa Aluminum Corporation. McCobb died in 1969 and today his designs are featured in the museum collections of the Copper Hewitt Design Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, among many others.

Discussion in 'Virus & Other Malware Removal' started by Warlok58, Jul 27, 2006.
This is my first posting here. The other night I ran spybot and noted that it ran through the botcheck really quickly. I then ran AVG and found Java byte viruses and a trojan. Since then I ran Adaware SE and had 243 problems. This I find galling as i try to keep on top of problems.
I have downloaded HTJ and this is the logfile. What have i missed?
Thanks for the help so far, this is the result of the ewido scan.

Sorry for the delay, Yesterday was a bad day. Nevermind. Here is thr HTJ log after the deletions.
I just wanted to add my thanks so far Cybertech. IT is an area I want to work in so I want to learn as much as I can. I also want to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Are the virus warnings gone?
Thanks you are amazing. I do have a question though. Should I uninstall Spybot and get a newer version?
The checks I am getting are still nonsense.
I have downloaded Adaware SE.
The computer seems to be working a lot better now.
Spybot-S&D current version is 1.4, if you don't have that for sure remove the old one and get the new one.
I'm not sure what you mean by "checks"... ??

If you owe taxes, the IRS will calculate penalties and interest on the amount owed. If you are due for a refund, the IRS may pay you interest on the delayed refund.
If you have a refund, there will be no penalty for filing late. Since there is no amount due there will be no penalty.
1. Failure to file penalty: This penalty is calculated based on the time from the deadline of your tax return (including extensions) to the date you actually file the return. The penalty is 5% for each month the return is late, up to a total of 25%.
2. Failure to pay penalty: You will have to pay a failure-to-pay penalty of ½ of 1% (.50%) of your unpaid taxes for each month, or part of a month, after the due date that the tax is not paid. This penalty does not apply during the automatic 6-month extension of time to file period if you paid at least 90% of your actual tax liability on or before the due date of your return and pay the balance when you file the return.
The monthly rate of the failure-to-pay penalty is half the usual rate (.25% instead of .50%) if an installment agreement is in effect for that month. You must have filed your return by the due date (including extensions) to qualify for this reduced penalty. If a notice of intent to levy is issued, the rate will increase to 1% at the start of the first month beginning at least 10 days after the day that the notice is issued. If a notice and demand for immediate payment is issued, the rate will increase to 1% at the start of the first month beginning after the day that the notice and demand is issued. This penalty cannot be more than 25% of your unpaid tax. You will not have to pay the penalty if you can show that you had a good reason for not paying your tax on time.
-Combined penalties: If both the failure-to-file penalty and the failure-to-pay penalty (discussed earlier) apply in any month, the 5% (or 15%) failure-to-file penalty is reduced by the failure-to-pay penalty. However, if you file your return more than 60 days after the due date or extended due date, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $135 or 100% of the unpaid tax.
3. Interest: It is calculated based on how much tax you owe. Interest rates change every quarter. Current interest rate for underpayment of taxes is 4%/year.


As the weather warms up, many homeowners see it as the perfect time to make improvements inside and outside of the home. If you fall into that group, then we've got some tips for you! We want you to get the most value out of your project, so we're sharing insight on where to splurge and where to skip.
It's been said kitchens and bathrooms alone often sell houses. If you want to add value and potentially get a great return on your investment, start here. Whether you do a full-scale kitchen remodel or a small renovation, do things that improve the flow of the kitchen, and make cooking easier and more enjoyable. In the bathroom, you also want to balance form and function. Buyers appreciate consistency between the kitchen and bathroom, so, if possible, use coordinating materials for cabinets, counters, floors and fixtures.
Buyers are often looking for storage solutions. When you are making improvements in the kitchen, make sure you add storage or counter space. Skip anything that would likely reduce the amount of storage or workspace in the kitchen. In the bathroom, buyers are looking for a place to unwind. Stick to colors that make the appearance of the bathroom clean and light, and consider optimizing for how you will be using this space every day.
If you are looking to build a shed, add on to your home, or add an in-ground pool, any of these projects will require a revisement to your home insurance policy. Other popular background projects to improve your outdoor living space are expanding your patio, putting up a fence or building a fish pond. When it comes to the front yard and curb appeal, plant weather-tolerant plants, add some color with flowers and shrubs and maintain outdoor light fixtures, walkways and steps.
When it comes to a pool, consider if it makes sense for your home's location. Buyers can sometimes be turned off by maintenance and insurance considerations associated with a pool. As for curb appeal, avoid any bold design changes that a new buyer may want to immediately update for their own tastes. Additionally, consider how your improvements will affect outdoor maintenance and skip any that pose a large maintenance outlook.
Sometimes the biggest home improvements aren't visible. Updating your essentials, like your HVAC system, insulation, electric panels and water heater will save you money in the long run. Improving your home's energy efficiency is important to your cost of living there and may help attract buyers to your home. Consider upgrading to energy efficient appliances. Home security is also becoming increasingly essential, so consider installing an alarm system, and check out OKFB's home insurance discount for those who qualify.
Even though an item may claim to be "green" or promote energy efficiency, make sure you research these claims before you buy. Two good signs to look for are an ENERGY STAR® logo and good sustainability ratings online. When it comes to the value of these upgrades, they can improve your quality of living and sometimes lessen living costs. However, if you are making these improvements to increase the resale value, skip on anything that doesn't allow you to market your home as energy efficient.
As you make improvements to your home and property, remember that changes often mean you will need to adjust your Home Insurance coverage! Contact your OKFB agent today to discuss any planned or recent home improvement projects.


This is a performance of 33 Variations in C major on a waltz by Anton Diabelli, performed by Boris Berezovsky.
It takes some mental adjustment to hear Bach's Goldberg Variations played on a harp, but Welsh harpist Catrin Finch has done an exceptional job with both her arrangement and her performance of Bach's keyboard masterpiece. Her arrangement is sensitive to the musical and the emotional values of the music; she successfully translates the sense of technical difficulty and the expressive depths of the original, and her playing is superb.

It takes some mental adjustment to hear Bach's Goldberg Variations played on a harp, but Welsh harpist Catrin Finch has done an exceptional job with both her arrangement and her performance of Bach's keyboard masterpiece. Her arrangement is sensitive to the musical and the emotional values of the music; she successfully translates the sense of technical difficulty and the expressive depths of the original, and her playing is superb. The listener is fully aware of the challenges of Finch's arrangement, and of the graceful virtuosity and expressiveness with which she executes them. The joy, sorrow, wit, humor and sublime beauty of the original are all present in her performances. Purists may have little patience with the idea of a transcription, but other listeners may be won over by the sheer loveliness of Finch's playing.
