Winter’s Bone Chapters 7-9 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 7

Ree decides to visit her childhood friend Gail Lockrum on her way home. Gail has a strained marriage with Floyd Langan, whom she married when she found out she was pregnant. Gail, Floyd, and their son, Ned, share a trailer next to his parents’, who help with the baby. Gail and Floyd’s marital problems revolve around his ongoing affair with Heather Powney, whom he had been dating since junior high, before Gail and Floyd’s brief affair destroyed their relationship. Gail struggles with her sudden and unwanted marriage as well as her new baby; during her visit, Ree massages Gail and plucks burrs from her hair.

Ree tells Gail about her father’s disappearance and its potential consequences and explains her need to visit Jessup’s old girlfriend, April. Ree and Gail hope to borrow Floyd’s car, but he refuses to let Gail drive it. Ree is angered by Floyd’s controlling nature and tells Gail: “You never used to eat no shit” (35). Gail withdraws into herself after this conversation and asks Ree to leave so that she can take a nap. As she leaves, Floyd tells her that she does not understand the difficulties of finding oneself married to a stranger after a drunken night together. As Ree leaves, he further explains, “Nobody here wants to be awful It’s just nobody here knows all the rules yet, and that makes a rocky time” (37).

Chapter 8

Ree continues her walk home. Though she attempts to listen to the Alpine Dusk album, she finds the sounds match the winter mountain setting too well and changes to The Sounds of Tropical Dawn. She imagines an exotic beach setting in detail as she sits on a cold rock in the Ozarks.

Chapter 9

Ree washes her mother’s hair, making sure that her brothers are paying attention and learning how to do it. The boys are quickly distracted by Wishbone playing on PBS in the background, however, leaving Ree to reminisce about her mother’s former beauty and glamour. As Ree combs her mother’s hair, she remembers how her mother used to dress up to go dancing when Jessup…

New Game Kit

7 years ago By polly macdonald

New Team Game Kit - Thanks to the Sponsors

Hi I would like to say a big thankyou to our sponsors who helped us with our new Game kit since getting the kit the boys have felt extremely good.

Big Huge thanks to our very own Mike Snowdon of Pavestone Services, Simon Williams and partner of Purbeck Kitchens, Ben Smith of Big Dreams and M J White Ltd.

The strip maintains the Burgandy and white of the Swans colours but has made the boys feel more like a team and they have loved wearing them on their recent tour to Okehampton which they won I hasten to add.

Again a huge thank you to you guys it means a lot to us to be recognised as part of such a great club.

  • Matariki at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts: At this exhibition Alan exhibited Clan 1, 2 & 3, a triptych depicting a band of men fleeing from a battlefield through a blizzard to safety. The exhibition's concepts included the importance of Whakapapa and the nurturing of knowledge and protection of land and natural ecosystems.

We curated and ran this exhibition ourselves and received very encouraging feedback on our artwork and our art practice.

  • Red Tape at the Asteron Building: Alans Red Tape series exhibited from 4 to 10 February in the ground floor foyer of the Asteron Centre, Wellington . The series of 6 large acrylic paintings takes an irreverent poke in the eye of modern bureaucracy. The paintings could be viewed from inside the foyer or from the pavement outside. As was hoped, they raised a few eyebrows, promoted comment and made people laugh. Job done!

'Life is Sweet'

We loved the opportunity to curate our own exhibition at the Thistle Hall gallery in May 2013. The gallery below shows some photos from this successful week.

Live interview on RadioActive

On 2 Feb 2013 Alan was interviewed live on RadioActive's 'Caffeine and Aspirin' show about his 'Red Tape' exhibition, his art influences and emergence into the Wellington art scene. It was such fun!

Yellowstone National Park

My Dears!

We are back from our road trip adventure to Yellowstone. We drove 730 miles today so we are tuckered out. I’m off to take a shower and then hop directly into bed. Fingers crossed that the kiddo sleeps well tonight.

Pictures to come later but here is a quick video of one of the highlights of our trip. [Please forgive the somewhat scattered commentary. I was a little on the nervous side. I do not exaggerate when I state that Chris could have reached out and given this beastie a pat on the head - had he wanted to].

  1. You're brave! That is a huge road trip to undertake with the Bambino. The furthest we've tried is Cannon Beach.
    And surviving your nature encounter was pretty amazing too. That guy was HUGE.

  2. That is great video!

Unbreakable (Unbreakable #1) by Rebecca Shea

Jessica Harper is the epitome of perfection. She’s a good daughter, makes excellent grades, and always strays on the safe side of life. The last thing she thought would ever happen was falling in love with her best friend’s brother. But sometimes fate just has a way of bringing two people together.

Wide receiver for the University of Arizona, Gabe Garcia, seems to have it all. When his feelings for Jessica come to surface, Gabe will give up everything to be with her.

But what happens when a tragedy abruptly changes the course of your life? For Jessica and Gabe, everything they thought they knew about each other will be questioned. Sometimes, there are scars in life that are cut too deep to completely heal.

Will their love prove to be unbreakable, or will it shatter and prove fate is just another lie?

*This book contains mature subject matter and is not intended for those under 17 years of age.*
Four Stars

“We will get through this, together. You and I. Nothing will break us, ever. Not this. Do you hear me, Jess? Nothing. We’re unbreakable.”

I saw a lot of great reviews of this one and I figured, what the hey?! So I picked it up and honestly had a hard time putting it down. If it wasn’t for work, I would’ve finished it in one setting. I just adore friends-to-lovers stories and this was a very good example of one.

“I can’t remember a time when I haven’t loved you. You have been a part of my life for over fourteen years. When you were younger, it was different kind of love, but now, it’s the kind of love that won’t let me breathe if you’re not with me. It’s the kind of love that makes me not want to live if I can’t be with you.”

Jess & Gabe Garcia have been friends for a long time. They’ve practically grown up together considering Gabe’s sister is Jess’ best friend plus tack on the fact that Jess practically lives at the Garcia household. However as they grow older, their feelings morph into something more serious. They don’t do a very good job at hiding their relationship, especially around their family and friends, but that’s ok, their relationship was inevitable. They fall in love – hard and fast – for each other and nothing seemed to stop them from having their HEA. However tragedy strikes and rips their relationship apart. After the event, Jess moves away leaving Gabe (and herself) in a total shambles. They both try to move on, but their connection is strong. This is a true test of their relationship, but will they pass?

“Never be afraid to feel. It’s the only way to really live.”

I really enjoyed this story, especially the dual POV (I LOVE duel POVs!). This was emotional and some scenes even made my eyes water and my heart ache. The story was well paced and yes, there is some steam. What even made this story better is that I just found out there will be another book in the series starring Landon! I’m not going into specifics on who Landon is in this story because I don’t want to give too much away. Just know that I LOVED his character. He was such a wonderful addition to the story and I’m just counting down the days until his book comes out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a very good NA story.

Nash Pinpoint Twister Long Shank Hooks

Nash Pinpoint Twister Long Shank Hooks

Add to wish list

Updated patterns and advanced manufacture - the collaboration between Marc Voosen's Pinpoint and the famous Nash Fang hooks raises the bar with the most advanced, sharpest hook range yet.
Marc's experience has helped develop the Nash Pinpoint range utilising the latest technology in carbon steel alloys, CARBIDE 617, resulting in hooks up to 50% stronger yet actually lighter than the already leading Nash patterns. Point design and penetration is what you would expect from Pinpoint - the sharpest available.
Along with advancing worldwide classics such as the Twister and Fangs Kevin Nash has used the opportunity to add more patterns guaranteed to be firmly on the big carp hunter's radar. Pack of 10.

Postby TheOldForum » Sun May 06, 2001 1:20 am

Name: John Bannon’s Detour De Force
Price: £11.99 ( )
Type: Card Prediction Effect
Difficulty: 1
Performance time: A few minutes
Examinable: No.
Reset Time: Instant, but you couldn’t repeat it to the same spectators
What you get: A specially gaffed deck of Hoyles and Bannon's usual detailed instructions.

The performer writes down two predictions, each on a separate piece of paper, and places them on the table in full view. The performer deals the cards in a face-up pile. The spectator can stop at any card! This selection is placed aside with one of the predictions. The performer shows the cards are marked by having the name of a card printed on each of the backs. The deck is then shuffled and the performer deals the cards into a face-down pile. Again, the spectator can stop at any card! This second selection is placed aside with the second prediction. Both predictions are now turned over to reveal and they are wrong! The predictions don't match the cards. The performer then explains that the cards may be marked, but the names on the back of the cards do not match the face. The two selections are turned over and the predictions now match perfectly!

A great trick, which I have as yet only performed to my long-suffering wife. She begrudgingly admitted that it was "quite impressive" when, really, I knew she was devastatingly overawed by the whole thing. In fact, she woke me up in the middle of the night and asked me what would have happened had she stopped at different cards. I will not repeat here, on this family board, what my response was in that cold, dark hour of the morning.

The fact that the cards are a nasty Hoyle deck, doesn’t matter a jot. If you always use Bikes and then produce this deck, I don’t think people would be suspicious, especially when you flip the deck face down to reveal huge card names (6H, JD, 10C, etc.) printed all over them; it’s obvious that the deck is different.

Also, the way the cards are selected and the “proving” of the deck to be mis-marked are so fair, that there’s very little heat on the deck.

There is no sleight of hand involved and, if you want, you can throw in a couple of Hindu shuffles, but it’s not vital.

All in all, a stunning effect, very easy to do. It’s also great fun if you like hamming it up and pretending you’ve made a huge a**e of yourself only to show, triumphantly, that you are a Mindreader Extraordinaire. In fact, after the brilliance of Twisted Sisters and then this, I am convinced that John Bannon is a genius and have ordered his Strangers’ Gallery, too. But if you were a real mindreader, you’d have known that.

Overall Rating:
9/10. Only because it’s not examinable.

Is it suitable more for a close-up or street setting?
I really loved John Bannon's Strangers' Gallery, but I only ever use it on a table, so it doesn't have as much appeal for me as other tricks do.

The performer writes down two predictions, each on a separate piece of paper, and places them on the table in full view. He then begins dealing cards into a face-up pile, allowing the spectator to simply tell him to stop at any point. This selection is placed aside with one of the predictions.

The performer then reveals that the deck he's using contains marked cards. The marks aren't meant to be secret, though, as each card is boldly labeled!
The deck is shuffled and the performer again deals the cards, this time into a face-down pile. The second spectator also simply tells him when to stop dealing and this selection is also placed aside with the other prediction.

Both predictions are now turned over to reveal...they are wrong!? The predictions don't match the cards! The performer explains that the cards are marked, but not correctly-the printed marks don't match the faces. When the first face-up selection is turned over, it's mark matches the first prediction and when the second face-down selection is turned face-up, it also matches the second prediction exactly!

Comes complete with the specially printed deck on Hoyle stock and detailed, 8-page, fully-illustrated instruction booklet.

This effect sells for less than $20.

(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
I'll give this a 1; however, you need some audience management skill.

OVERALL: 10/10
I tweek the reveal by using two cards from a different colored deck.
Very practical to do and it is a mind blower. It can be played serious or as magician in trouble.
In my show, I usually have a portion like David Regal's set where I state, " I am sick and tired of having the POWER...I want to people who would like the power of the playing cards. and once you have the power, you can not fail!"
Detour de Force fits in very nicely to fill this spot....
This is an effect I will NEVER sell.

New SLA sentries in Mannar town

[TamilNet, Saturday, 17 December 2005, 02:11 GMT]
Sri Lanka Army (SLA) has established several new sentries in Mannar town and its suburbs, and has blocked the road leading to the office of the Superintendent of Police from use by the public as a part of strengthening the security of the district, sources said.

New sentries in front of the primary court building on Mannar-Talaimannar road and in front of Telecom office and St.Sebastian Church in Thalvupadu were established Friday afternoon.

Barriers have been established at the two ends of the road that leads to the office of the Mannar Police Superintendent, sources said.

Meanwhile, the acting Mannar Magistrate Mr.Johnthasan Friday ordered remand for two suspects A.Selvanesan and D.Theiventhiran till December 19 for allegedly extorting money from traders in Mannar. They were arrested and produced in the Mannar court Friday by the Police.

The Police requested the court to remand them for two weeks but the court ordered them remand for three days. The suspects were immediately transferred to Anuradhapura remand prison via Vavuniya, sources said.

Jaffna Court blocks attempts to send Jaffna youths to South

[TamilNet, Friday, 16 February 2007, 10:35 GMT]
The attempt by Jaffna Police to send the 14 youths who surrendered to Sri Lanka Police fearing for their lives from Sri Lanka Army (SLA) and paramilitaries working with SLA, to rehabilitation centres in South, was stopped by the intervention by the Jaffna District Judge, R. T. Vignarajah, legal sources in Jaffna said.

Fourteen youths surrendered to Jaffna Police either directly or through Human Rights Commission (HRC) in the past 3 days, were kept in Police custody, and the Police tried to send them to rehabilitation centres in south for further interrogation and "rehabilitation."

The parents took the matter to Jaffna Court. Judge Mr Vignarajah sought the advice of Attorney General (AG) of Sri Lanka, Sarath N Silva. The AG discussed the matter with the Commissioner of Rehabilitation and Protection Centre and as a result, a fresh order was issued to the Police to keep the surrendered persons at Jaffna prison along with the other persons surrendered earlier.

Although people who fear for their lives seek refuge in prisons, prisons themselves are not safe in Sri Lanka.

On 23 and 25 July 1983, Sinhala prisoners at Welikada Prison beat 53 Tamil political prisoners to death. On 25 October 2000, 25 Tamil detainees were hacked to death and 16 others were seriously wounded when hundreds of Sinhala villagers assisted by Police attacked the Bindunuwewa detention centre.

University student remanded under ER

[TamilNet, Friday, 29 October 1999, 20:52 GMT]
The Kankesanthurai Police produced today the detained university student Selvanayagam Suganthan before the Magistrate Mr.S.A.E.Ekanathan. Officer-in-charge of the KKS Police, K.T.Jayatilake, told the court that he was producing the suspect under the Emergency Regulations (ER), on the orders of his superior.

Mr. Jayatilake requested that the suspect be detained for three months under the Emergency Regulations.

The Jaffna Magistrate Mr.Ekanathan ordered that the suspect be remanded until 27.01.2000.

This was the first occasion in recent times a suspect was produced in Jaffna courts under the Emergency Regulations, said legal sources. Prior to this incident, suspects arrested in the Jaffna peninsula under the Emergency Regulations and Prevention of Terrorism Act were produced in courts in other parts of the country.

To a question by the Magistrate, the police officer replied that he produced the suspect in Jaffna as he was a university student and also on the orders of his superior.

Thereafter the Magistrate directed the Chief Inspector of Jaffna to submit a list of detainees arrested in Jaffna and produced in courts outside the peninsula from January 1998 todate.

Attorneys Pon.Poologasingham and K.M.Rathakrishnan made an application to court to allow the suspect to sit for the university examination.

The Magistrate said once the date of the examination is announced, the suspect would be allowed to sit for the examination.

Meanwhile the Human Rights Commission's office in Jaffna has been informed by the army that three persons detained by the security forces have been released after interrogations, sources said.

The names of the released Tamil youths are:

Ratnasingham Rajmohan (19) of Colombuthurai.He was arrested on October 20, Rasamani Bavananthan (25) and Sunthararajah Uthaysooriyan (21) of Alaveddi east. Both were arrested on 24th October.

[TamilNet, Monday, 23 October 2000, 16:54 GMT]
"We need at least ten thousand extra troops to continue the war against the Liberation Tigers at this rate" said Sri Lanka army commander Lt.Gen. Lionel Balagalle Monday addressing a press conference at the army headquarters in Colombo. An island-wide recruitment drive for the army will begin from Wednesday 25 October and will continue for a month according to the commander.

Lt.Gen. Balagalle said that the SLA launched four operations against the Tigers (in Jaffna) since 3 September. His troops are now consolidating the defence lines of the Nagar Kovil detachment, the commander added.

He said that two thousand soldiers were wounded and 266, including officers, were killed in the fighting with the Liberation Tigers in Jaffna since 3 September 2000. Fifty percent of our war wounded have returned to duty" the SLA commander told the press conference.

"In a war situation like this, there will be losses and gains for both sides. The number of Tigers killed in the fighting during this period is not known but is believed to be high" the SLA commander said.

He confirmed that a helicopter gunship was shot down and destroyed in the Trincomalee Bay and that the crew of four is believed killed. The helicopter gunship had gone to provide fire support to ground troops which had engaged the Tigers in that area according to him.

My face behind the lens!

Sarah & I went out last weekend to do our family photos and it was way too cold and nasty.  We decided to do some fun quick head shots of each other, I've been wanting some for awhile and just haven't made it happen! I decided to make a post out of it, a way of you getting to know ME! IMG_8780

Here are the basics: I'm married to a wonderful loving husband and father--Josh.  We just celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary, but we've been together almost 12 years.  He played basketball, I was a cheerleader--separate schools but our schools played each other in sports with that and the help of "ICQ"  We hit it off and became inseparable quickly!    We have two gorgeous babies--Zoe (4) and Graham (19 months) .  We live in what I call a too small of a home, but it's home for us!  I babysit a few days a week, in our home-- that's my "day time job".

IMG_8826Now some not so average things: My Strengths:  You know that saying "They'd give you the shirt off their back"  that's so true for me.  It's so cliche but so true for my personality.  I would do anything for my friends and family, and even those whom I don't know. I can multitask.  In fact sometimes I am bored if I'm not multitasking. I work well under pressure.  Sometimes I don't mean to procrastinate, it just happens because my plate is full, but when it comes down to the wire I can get it done! And I like my plate full.  I don't know what to do with myself if I have "down" time. I can manage a room full of active kids better than I can adults sometimes. I can remember what you said or wore months ago, but then forget where I put my keys 10 minutes ago.

Weaknesses: Saying NO.  My friend and I just had this conversation the other day! I over analyze everything.   It's hands down my biggest weakness, I'm learning to let go of it a little. But It's HARD for me.  Easier said than done. I take things to heart.  Big time. So I over analyze it, then I take it to heart. Buying Jeans.  I could own a million pairs.  (My husband calls it a weakness, I call it a strength) Sweets

I Love: Pepsi.  Growing up my "papaw" (My grandpa on my moms side) ALWAYS had a cup he filled with ice and then poured pepsi over it.  I can still see him standing there doing it.  Those tiny little square ice cubes from the white plastic trays.  He's who I can thank for my love of pepsi.  There's nothing like a COLD glass of pepsi.  (See my OCD section) Chevron Making lists Playdates with my girlfriends and their kids Skinny jeans (or leggins) and boots Fall smells coming from my scentsy burners Hearing my kids laugh Date nights with my hubby Girls nights with my best friends Birthdays.  I think it's an awesome opportunity to spoil someone you love. Making people happy Working out.  (Even a year ago I would have never thought I'd say that) That my kids have grandparents that love to spend time with them

Things that are important to our family: Dinner at the table Bedtime kisses Music.  (We LOVE music.  I could go all day with the TV off (in fact I do most days when I'm home with the kids, but we play a lot of music) Vacations

OCD: My physiologist once told me; (yes I go to one.  I won't hide that.  I think everyone deserves an outsider to vent to and to keep you in check)  that everyone has OCD in someways, we all just express it differently.  Here is were mine comes out: I have to have a certain amount of ice in my cup  before my drink goes in it. I can't wear socks that are too thin, it creeps me out. I'm weird about pens that I use, if they're too thin I just can't do it. I can't stand to touch the second toe on my foot. (It is weird to me, I hate it) My nails.  I've had "fake" nails on since I was about 16 and I'm OCD about how they're done.

Hobbies: I don't really have any other hobbies that I do on a consistent basis now.  I have a few different things I like, but nothing big.   I have a few magazines that I like to read when I have "downtime".  Maybe I should take a photo of the stack of them I have sitting... because I obviously have downtime to read them.

What do you not go one day without doing? I don't go a day without eating SOMETHING sweet.  When I was pregnant with my son I developed the worst sweet tooth.  Now everyday I have to find something small to satisfy it.

What do you watch on tv: oh gosh.  I watch (dvr, and watch while editing) a lot.  But right now we're really into The blacklist and Orange is the new black.

Favorite Ice cream:  (Just for you CJ ;-) ) Cinnamon

What are you doing on a normal day at 10:00am and 10:00pm? 10AM:  Teaching, playing with, or entertaining Kiddos! 10PM:  Editing

Things my mama taught me: Don't say "it's ok" when someone apologizes  if it's not ok.  Just say Thank you. How to sew You respect people.  Always. Everyone has a disability (even if it's a just a weakness) once you figure out what it is, you know them on another level and you can help them grow or your relationship grow. Don't apologize for the way you fee.  They're your feelings, own them.

I think that's about it.  I hope that gives you some good insight into who I am! :)

We’re packing our bags and hitting the road again, this time for Door County, Wisc., where we’ll be attending an Elderhostel that is titled Door County, Cooking, Cuisine and Culinary Arts.

This will not be our first trip to Wisconsin, but it will be our first venture out onto the “thumb” of the left-hand Wisconsin “mitten” that sticks out and up along a 70-mile peninsula into Lake Michigan.

Door County has been called “the Maine coast” of Wisconsin, and we anticipate lots of wonderful surprises and beautiful fall foliage. We know we’ll be attending a Door County Fish Boil and classes in several cooking schools, but I’m looking forward to a lot more adventures along the way ... and to coming home with new recipes and food ideas to share with you.

We just couldn’t head into middle-America without planning a visit to three of our grandchildren -- Rebecca, Rachel and Henry Wadman -- who are attending Cedarville University in the tiny, tiny town of Cedarville, Ohio, just northeast of Dayton. Since my mother always came to visit me with a tin of homemade cookies in hand, I’ve been having fun testing new cookie recipes that I can take along to share with them. That’s what grandmothers are for, isn’t it?

The recipes for two of these take-along cookies -- Chewy Chocolate Cookies and Rice Krispie Cookies -- appear below along with Mac Mcallister’s recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies that earned Mac a blue ribbon at the 2012 Delaware State Fair.

Wouldn’t someone you know love to be surprised with a plate of homemade cookies? Pick a recipe and start baking.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

1 1/4 cups butter, softened

2 cups flour

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups (12-ounce package) chocolate chips or 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12-ounce package) or 1 cup of each

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixer bowl, cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla to mix well. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and stir together to blend. Slowly add to creamed mixture just until blended. Stir in chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls (or small cookie scoop) onto prepared baking sheets. (I got 18 cookies to a sheet in three rows of four and two rows of three.) The cookies will puff up while baking but spread only slightly. After they are removed from the oven, the cookies will flatten. Cool at least 5 to 10 minutes on baking sheet before removing to wire rack to complete cooling. Stir airtight. This made 92 cookies and I baked one sheet at a time in the center of the oven, reusing the parchment paper.

Mac Mcallister’s Blue Ribbon Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (3.5-ounce) package vanilla flavor instant pudding mix

2 eggs

1 (12-ounce) bag dark chocolate morsels

1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour and baking soda; set aside. Combine butter, sugars, vanilla and pudding mix in large mixer bowl; beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs; gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate morsels and nuts (batter will be stiff). Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 9 1/2 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies.

Rice Krispie Cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla OR orange extract

1 cup Rice Krispie-like cereal

1 cup quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two large cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl; stir to mix and set aside. Place the butter into the large bowl of a large electric mixer and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add in sugars and continue to beat until creamy then beat in the egg and extract. Beat, or stir in, the flour mixture. When well blended, stir in the cereal, oats and coconut. Drop the mixture by level measuring tablespoon (or a small cookie scoop) onto the prepared cookie sheets – about 20 per sheet if you use a small cookie scoop. Bake for 13 to 14 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool. Recipe yielded 60 cookies. Store airtight.

Fabulous Festivals To Catch In Thailand (Part 2 of 2)

Image Source: http://visualbanquet.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/songkran-in-chiang-mai/

This is Part 2 of a two parts article. If you have not read Part 1, please click here.

It’s time to liven up your next holiday in the Land of Smiles.

Get your party hat ready – we’ve rounded some of wacky (and slightly bizarre) festivals in Thailand that attract travelers from all around the world. The rule of thumb? The wackier the affair, the better!

6. Monkey Buffet Festival
tym-article-thai-month1-living6Image Source: http://oddstuffmagazine.com/the-annual-monkey-buffet-festival-at-a-temple-in-thailand.html

When: November 25
Where: Lopburi province, Thailand

Previously described as one of the strangest festivals in Thailand by London’s The Guardian newspaper, it is easy to see why the Monkey Buffet Festival is described as such. Every year on the last Sunday in November, the monkey-infested town of Lopburi treats its small but fearless long-tailed macaques to a massive buffet of fruits, vegetables, soda and lollipops. Hindu lore that says these Macaques are blessed descendants of a great warrior monkey that must be honored but skeptics believe the event is merely a publicity stunt for the town.

7. Sak Yant Tattoo Festival
tym-article-thai-month1-living7Image Source: http://wheresidewalksend.com/sak-yant-wai-kru-festival/

When: March 2014
Where: Nakhon Chai Si, Thailand

Held at the Wat Bang Phra Buddhist temple every year, the ‘Sak Yant Tattoo Festival honours the temple’s master tattooist monks. Sak yant is the Thai term for the special tattoos given by Wat Bang Phra’s famous monks that is said to have mystical powers and ward off physical harm, give good luck and heal. At the festival, those with the tattoos enter a trance and act out the characteristics of the sacred animals inked onto their skin. In fact, Angelina Jolie has previously been inked by a Wat Bang Phra monk during the festival.

8. Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival

tym-article-thai-month1-living8bImage Source 2: https://i-san.tourismthailand.org/index.php?mode=main_news&start=220

When: May 11-15
Where: Yasothon

Every May, across Northeast Thailand (Isaan) and Laos hold rocket festivals at the start of the rainy season as a fertility ritual. But the Bun Bangfai celebration held in the town of Yasothon is the biggest and wildest, with visitors coming in from Bangkok and the rest of Thailand. The highlight? Giant home made rockets are launched for the sake of to wish for a good rainy season. These rockets aren’t small either – an average rocket is some nine metres in length and carries 20-25 kilograms of gunpowder. The party has music, concerts, harvest predictions and parades.

9. Song Kran
tym-article-thai-month1-living9Image Source: http://bangkokscoop.com/2013/03/15/the-month-of-april-brings-songkran-splendours/

When: April 13-15, 2014
Where: Nationwide

Celebrate the Thai New Year, Song Kran in unforgettable style with the locals every April. Families and friends celebrate the nationwide holiday by visiting temples and splashing water on each other as an act of good will. Splashing is an understatement through. It’s more a case of people throwing buckets of water at you. Some towns just celebrate with water splashing on one day; others extend it into a full week of various ceremonies, water fights, concerts and other festivities. Go to Chiang Mai for the wildest Songkran celebrations.

Precautions to note:
• Take care of your belongings as there will be large crowds at most, if not all of the festivals.
• Note the emergency assistance services, i,e police post, first aid centre so you can quickly seek assistance if needed.
• If you are in a vehicle don’t expect to get to your destination in a hurry as traffic is will be slow
• It is advisable not to ride a motorbike or drive any vehicle as it will be difficult to find parking
• If you are heading out during Song Kran, only take waterproof photo equipment out with you and do not wear expensive clothing as it will be ruined
• Wear sunscreen and apply it regularly
• At the Monkey Buffet festival, be alert and watch your belongings that the monkeys and thieves alike may be attracted to such as swinging shopping bags, or dangling jewellery.

And there you have it. Fabulous Festivals only available in Thailand. Don’t miss them out when you are planning your next holiday!

Elements of an Offer

Elements of an Offer

There are five key components to the elements of an offer. They are:

Depending on the local market conditions and your motivation, the price you set may be different from the Buyer’s offering price. Generally speaking if you are a willing seller and they are a willing buyer, an agreement on price can be had that is reasonable for all parties.

The buyer’s deposit shows good faith and will be applied against the purchase of the home when the sale closes. This deposit can be used for legal fees incurred by you if the Buyer doesn’t close on the property as agreed.

These might include placing a requirement that the Buyer performs and is satisfied with a home inspection, or they are allowed a short period of time to ensure their financing is fully approved, or that they are able to sell their current home before closing on this new purchase.

Inclusions and Exclusions
These might include appliances and certain fixtures or decorative items, such as window coverings or mirrors. These items would remain in the house after you vacate the premises.

Closing or Possession Date
Generally, this is day the title of the property is transferred and the transaction of funds is finalized and given to you, and the property is no longer legally yours.

3 Ways in Which Technology Has Transformed the Work and Success of Modern Translation Agencies

Posted on September 15, 2016 · Posted in Translation Services

Like many other industries, professional translation has undergone a major shift thanks to modern technology. The increasing ease of learning about culture and language alike, not to mention opportunities for machine translations, present both challenges and opportunities.

When you engage a translation agency for their services, your relationship will likely be affected by this technology in a variety of ways. The more you know about that influence, the more prepared you will be to work together in order to achieve a successful, long-term relationship with consistent, quality output.

To get to that point, it’s paramount to understand exactly what influence computer technology has had on the industry. Here are 3 of the ways in which it has impacted our work as professional translators.

1) A Broadening Global Market

Thanks to the internet, translation is no longer a regional business. A company in Bangladesh can reach out to a translation agency in Boston, asking for an accurate translation of a document from Bengali into American English and vice versa.

That global market, in turn, has led to an increase in translation quality. If you have to rely on a local agency for accurately transposing a given document into another language, you have to know that the professional in charge will not only know the language, but also its context.

We’ve written in the past about the importance of cultural context in quality translation. Being able to hire globally means increasing your chances that you find professionals who understand both languages and both cultures in question equally well.

2) Competition Drives Quality

Of course, the same broadening market has also led to increased access for translation professionals to market their services. Online marketplace enable them to find clients easily and without having to spend significant funds on self-promotion and marketing.

From an individual’s perspective, that increased access may seem worrisome. But from a global and client perspective, it means one thing above all: better translation quality. Because clients can and will find alternatives if they are not satisfied with one professional’s work, the impetus to provide high-quality work continues to increase.

3) Human-Driven Technology Assistance

Finally, modern technology has led to another important development that is at once problematic and beneficial: Computers are increasingly able to assist in translating written content.

Unfortunately, that development has led to a reliance on technology that can quickly become unhealthy. You only have to try out Google’s Translator tool to know that while machine translation can be helpful for individual uses, it does not provide the in-depth, exact professional translations a business needs. Relying on machine translation to accurately translate your documents will not end well.

At the same time, the same technology can be used to improve the work of translation agencies, as long as the human touch remains. Taking advantage of Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) software, professional translators can improve their work and ensure correct grammar, spelling, and terminology, while still touching it to ensure that the finished document is accurate and the context is right. Technology does the ground work, while translators do quality control and put the finishing touches on it.

In short, technology has influenced the work of modern translation agencies in a variety of ways. An expanded market has led to both increased opportunities and competition on a global level.  Meanwhile, assistance provided by machines can be both dangerous and helpful, depending on how you choose to take advantage of it to improve your translations.

In this technology-driven environment, it’s paramount to work with an agency that will use it as an advantage, not to the finished product’s detriment. To learn more about how we use technology to assist and improve our translations without replacing the important human touch that ensures quality and consistency, contact us.

One Tehachapi City councilman's concerns about money granted by the city to the parks district prompted a lengthy and at times heated discussion at the April 16 council meeting.

Councilman Kenneth R. Hetge made a motion to revoke a unanimous council decision made a month earlier to grant $15,000 in city funds to the Tehachapi Valley Recreation & Park District for a "community recreation center feasibility study" for a potential bond measure aimed at refurbishing parks property and even building a new facility.

The council voted 2-2 on the issue of taking the money back. Mayor pro-tem Susan Wiggins and Councilman Phil Smith voted against rescinding the funds given, while Hetge and Dennis Wahlstrom voted in favor of the city taking the money back. Mayor Ed Grimes was absent. With the tie vote, the previous decision to give the $15,000 stands.

Hetge said that even though he voted in favor of the funds going to TVRPD at the March 19 meeting, he changed his mind because he believes facts were not being represented clearly, and because of “certain issues.” The issues he mentioned later dealt with the City Council not focusing on a survey or business plan which deals with residents' interest in a park bond, but rather discussing what the possible bond measure would do for the community.

“The council showed more support for the end project at a point in time when they were only being asked for $15,000 for a survey or an analysis,” Hetge said after the meeting.

He added that he was also within his rights to ask the Fair Political Practices Commission to look into whether anything unlawful was said or done.

“My whole intent is to make sure I was not breaking the law,” Hetge added.

The Fair Political Practices Commission “has primary responsibility for the impartial and effective administration of the Political Reform Act,” which regulate campaign finance, financial conflicts of interest by public officials, lobbyist registration, reporting and other issues regarding governmental ethics, according to

City Attorney Tom Schroeter said at the April 16 council meeting that nothing unlawful was done at the March meeting, including saying that the discussions were not off topic, and that it would be embarrassing for the issue to be brought up to the FPPC.

“There was no project that you were promoting. You were simply agreeing to give some money to them (TVRPD) for a study. There was no ballet or bond measure," Schroeter added.

Smith said, “I am very much in favor of just continuing what we voted on. We made a decision; parks and recreation have voted to go forward with it."

Laura Lynne Wyatt, chairperson of the board of directors for the park district, spoke to the City Council, asking members not to rescind their vote.

“The community wants us to do this. They want more parks, they want pools, they want more recreational opportunities. They want a community center and they are willing to help us pay for it," Wyatt said. "But part of it is putting together a comprehensive business plan before we move forward with any improvements. We need to know that we can sustain those improvements, we need to know we operate within our budget, and we need to know what the community wants us to provide."

The question of whether it was legal to transfer funds to the park district was also addressed, and Schroeter said that it was legal for the funds to be transferred.

“The city has any legal right to fund requests out of the general fund and in this case it is the park mitigation fund and when new residential developments take place, a portion goes into parks money for design, building and engineering. The parks district request was to see whether we can move forward with planning of new development,” City Manager Greg Garrett said after the meeting.

Public comments

Michael Biglay, a Tehachapi resident who is running for Kern County Second District supervisor, said he filed a complaint against the city on this issue with the FPPC.

He added that he “had a guy” look over previous City Council meeting recordings and accused council members of showing bias and disdain for people approaching the council and giving their opinion.

Biglay said, “I don’t think the City of Tehachapi should fund this money. I’m not against the parks building their facility, but I think they should be built with county money that is already in the taxpayer base or the City of Tehachapi should put the money up, because it's going to be built in the City of Tehachapi.”

There's no business plan for the possible bond measure. There also has not been a formal announcement on where a new facility should go, or how much taxpayers might want to pay.

A March 19 TVRPD letter to the city included in the City Council agenda said, "Our Board of Directors has approved staff to explore the feasibility of constructing a new aquatics, recreation and conference center as well as revitalize all existing facilities. We ask the City Council to approve an investment of $15,000 to go towards the cost of that plan. I have attached the detailed workplan to outline what will be included in the initial business plan."

Many other comments from the public followed.

“I have no grandchildren, my children are all grown and gone, but that doesn’t matter to me. It's important to me for this city to look to the future and to take care of our children,” Tehachapi resident Socorro Schmidt said.

She added, “I think there was an awful lot of enthusiasm for this and now its $15,000 under question. That is a lot of money, but any time you are going to spend even more money, you have got to study it and you have got to know if you are on the right road.”

Lydia Chaney, a resident and president of the Greater Tehachapi Economic Development Council, said, "I was here last meeting and I clearly understood it to just be money going toward a study to make sure that this was feasible, and I remember (TVRPD district manager) Michelle (Vance) saying if it wasn’t feasible it wasn’t going anywhere."

Tehachapi resident Mary Ann Hester had a different opinion.

“I’m getting tired of the bond issues and the parks and recreation cannot stand on its own feet and I’ve been over there,” she said.  She added, “It’s going to cost a lot of money to run that place. I hope you rescind it too because I’m tired of paying the bills.”

Proposed initiatives include legislation from the governor to allow cities and towns to adopt zoning changes by a simple majority vote instead of a two-thirds supermajority, and a $1.7 billion affordable housing bill, which the House approved last week.

The Senate Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets is expected to hold a hearing on its own version of a housing bond bill on Feb. 13, and acting Senate President Harriette L. Chandler said she believes it will be a major asset in her district and throughout Massachusetts.

“We feel it’s the stimulus that we really need,” Chandler said. “This is not necessarily only about affordable housing in the conventional sense of the word affordable. We feel that we need options for housing for working families, for recent graduates, for the elderly.”

Worcester is one of only 13 percent of 351 municipalities across Massachusetts that has met the state’s 10 percent guideline for affordable housing, but advocates believe there are not enough units to fulfill demand.

“On any given day we probably have 10 to 15 people looking for an affordable unit of various bedroom sizes, and oftentimes people get passed around from agency to agency, which I think is an indication of the lack of affordable housing,” said Ellie Gilmore, community organizer for Worcester Common Ground.

The nonprofit organization is one of a number of Worcester-based community development corporations that develop and manage affordable housing units. Gilmore said a lack of funding at a state level has been an obstacle, but the bond bill is a key step in the right direction.

“I will praise the CDCs in Worcester,” said Sen. Michael Moore, D-Millbury. “They have been very active over the last several years.”

One project being pursued in Worcester by the Main South CDC would create 48 units of high-quality affordable rental housing on a vacant lot at 92 Grand St. Mr. Moore is submitting a letter in support of state funding.

“That’s a good way of trying to increase affordable housing,” Mr. Moore said, “going into, whether it’s a city or town, vacant land, which for some reason is not maybe appealing to the residential market or for some reason not appealing for a resale purpose, using that property and converting it into some sort of affordable housing.”

In addition to the work of CDCs, Worcester Mayor Joseph M. Petty is making housing a priority during his new term, with plans to increase ownership and investment in the city’s three-decker housing stock.

Asked about the collaboration between local and state officials on this issue, Mrs. Chandler said, “We work very closely together. We’re all on the same page and we all have the same objectives.”

Throughout Massachusetts, municipalities that have not met the 10 percent threshold set under Chapter 40B, a state housing statute, are looking for ways to increase their numbers of low- to middle-income units.

Shrewsbury is one such town. According to the state Department of Housing and Community Development, 860 of Shrewsbury’s 13,919 housing units, or 6.2 percent, count as affordable housing.

To improve that rate, the town submitted a home rule petition requesting that mobile homes be included in its official count. The corresponding bill, S731, which was filed by Mr. Moore and Rep. Hannah Kane, R-Shrewsbury, is awaiting action in the Legislature’s Housing Committee.

The town of Auburn, whose affordable housing stock is at 3.7 percent, has approached Mr. Moore several times seeking similar action, but has not gone through the town meeting process. Rep. David DeCoste, R-Norwell, also has a bill to redefine affordable housing related to mobile homes.

“Mobile homes have a little different financing background to them than houses,” Mrs. Chandler said. “And there are also plans that people have put forward to count jail cells, to count dormitory rooms. I think it depends on the community.”

According to Worcester Assessor William J. Ford, qualifying mobile homes as affordable housing would not have a significant impact in Worcester because the zoning ordinance does not allow mobile homes.

Mrs. Chandler, who the governor praised as having “championed this issue for decades,” filed legislation this session to stimulate home and business development by reforming restrictive zoning laws.

“The money is there,” Mrs. Chandler said. “The $1.7 billion is there in the capital funds to build, renovate and preserve housing. But you just don’t build. You've really got to have some zoning reforms in order to make the whole thing possible.

“We can’t have restrictive zoning,” she continued. “It cripples our economy; it cripples our health; it cripples our environment.”

The governor’s zoning legislation is part of an effort the administration hopes will lead to the development of 135,000 new housing units by 2025. Mr. Baker also established the Housing Choice Initiative, which will deliver $10 million in incentives to communities to promote additional housing development.

“We think the governor’s bill is a good starting point for us, but we have a lot more zoning that has to be done to make everything work,” Mrs. Chandler said.

During its formal session Thursday, the Senate allocated $200,000 that empowers the Citizen Planner Training Collaborative to expand its technical assistance. This would give cities and towns that may not be able to afford a full-time planner the ability to turn to the state for zoning and housing issues.

Chief Supt Ncube

Exsto Makunzva / Caroline Gumbo
ZVISHAVANE - Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officer commanding Zvishavane-Mberengwa policing district, Chief Superintendent Edward Ncube has challenged police officers to be good at their work, saying society looked up to them for safety and security.
Speaking during the launch of a new Foot Patrol Unit at Mandava Bus Terminus recently, Ncube said police officers should do their duties in a way that inspires confidence in the people they serve.
"Ladies and gentleman, patrolling and doing beats is part of everyday police work. We should not be ashamed of our work. All over the world, police officers do beats and they patrol communities to ensure better observation and greater interaction with the people.
"When taking the oath on appointment, one swears to be faithful and to bear true allegiance to Zimbabwe and observe the laws of Zimbabwe. Therefore, a member who leaves his or her point of duty without permission or reasonable excuse is wayward. He or she is neither faithful, loyal, dependable nor trustworthy," said Ncube.
Members of the police were warned against selecting duties since the very nature of police work demands a lot of discipline, making it impossible for one to be selective.
Ncube said some members of the police despise patrols, considering them to be menial work for the less educated and unsophisticated.
"I get worried when police officers desert their responsibilities when they are supposed to be out protecting the people and fighting crime in communities," said Ncube, urging members of the public to cooperate with the police for a safer society.
He also encouraged the media to promote accountability by exposing police officers who spend their time doing what is not expected of them.local

Tektronix TDS724D 2 Channel 500MHz Digitising Scope Description:

The TDS 500D/700D oscilloscopes are the first in the TDS family of Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes (DPOs) designed to keep pace with current and evolving needs in advanced electronic design and debug. DPOs deliver a new level of insight that makes dealing with complex signals elementary a new level of insight that must be seen to be believed.

DPOs capture, store, display, and analyze, in real-time, three dimensions of signal information: amplitude, time, and distribution of amplitude over time. The benefit of this new third dimension of information is an interpretation of the signal dynamics, including instantaneous changes and the frequency of occurrence displayed in the form of quantitative intensity information.

Extensive user interface design has made the TDS family of products truly intuitive to operate. Each family member shares a familiar front panel layout with dedicated vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls. A graphical user interface with over 200 icons helps facilitate understanding and use of the advanced features. A color monitor helps rapidly distinguish between multiple waveforms and measurements. On-line help provides a convenient built-in reference manual.

We offer the refurbished used Tektronix TDS724D 2 Channel 500MHz Digitising Scope for sale and rental.

The Tektronix TDS724D is fully tested and refurbished in our in-house ISO9001 calibration laboratory. We supply manuals, accessories, full warranty and a free-of-charge Certificate of Conformity. We can also provide the Tektronix TDS724D with a fresh calibration for a small additional charge.

If you have under-utilised test equipment talk to us about trading-in or part-exchanging it towards the Tektronix TDS724D or other refurbished test equipment.

News Roundup: Two Texas Groups Sue HUD Over Fair Housing Act Enforcement

Our daily look at Texas headlines.

By Becky FogelMay 9, 2018 1:20 pm|

The Standard’s news roundup gives you a quick hit of interesting, sometimes irreverent, and breaking news stories from all over the state.

Two civil rights groups in Texas are part of a coalition suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. From KUT News in Austin, Syeda Hasan reports the lawsuit has to do with enforcement of the federal Fair Housing Act.

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 bans discrimination in buying, renting or financing a home. But earlier this year, HUD suspended a rule that calls for implementing those guidelines. Now, civil rights groups are suing. The lawsuit was filed in federal court today by the National Fair Housing Alliance, the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service and the nonprofit Texas Appleseed. Maddie Sloan with Texas Appleseed says many communities need the federal guidance to help counter decades of housing segregation.

“For HUD to withdraw that guidance,” Sloan says, “to withdraw that technical assistance, hurts those communities, as well as the families that are hurt by segregation.”

The fair housing implementation rule was developed over six years by the Obama administration. It required hundreds of communities that receive federal funds to submit plans for desegregating their housing. The rule was suspended under HUD secretary Ben Carson.

Felony charges have been dismissed against another 62 bikers for their alleged involvement in the Twin Peaks shootout in Waco. The 2015 incident left nine people dead. Tuesday’s dismissals were the largest round yet from the McLennan County District Attorney’s office. Will Burney, with KWBU in Waco, reports.

The DA’s office began slowly dismissing charges earlier this year, and recently began picking up the pace. 155 were originally indicted and given a blanket charge of engaging in organized criminal activity. District Attorney Abel Reyna has said the dismissals are to focus on defendants with more culpability.

The next round of trials is planned for late August. A retrial of the head of the Dallas chapter of the bandidos motorcycle club is scheduled for September. Jacob Carrizal’s first trial ended in a hung jury.

A San Antonio family thought they had rescued a pair of adorable kittens from an alley, but it turns out they what they had actually scooped up was an adorable pair of young bobcats.

Lisa Norwood is a spokesperson for the city’s Animal Care Services. She told the local CBS affiliate TV station in San Antonio that the family started wondering about the kittens after they bit three people.

“I think they maybe started doing a little bit more research, and educating themselves, and thinking, you know, these don’t look like your standard house cat,” Norwood says.

The baby bobcats were transferred to Wildlife Life Rescue and Rehabilitation, where they’re being monitored before being released back into the wild.

Now, if you do come across bobcat kittens, here’s a word of advice – the best thing you can do is stay out of their way and leave them alone. Typically, their mothers leave them for hours while they’re off hunting.

I have Orpington chickens and Guinea fowl. Both use the same nests most of the time. Mine are the large size covered cat litter boxes, the plastic ones with removeable top. I take out the swinging plastic door.
Then I put a layer of kiln dried shavings, then I make a bowl of hay over that. Then I sprinkle a little more shavings into the bowl on some. On some I leave the hay bowl bare with just shavings underneath. Some of the hens like one set up, some the other. Over all of this I dust DE. Sometimes on the bare floor of the nest boxes I'll sprinkle permethrin, finish off with the DE. We don't have any lice or mites but I do this anyway for precaution. Some of the guinea hens will make bowls in the areas of the barn having dirt floor or hay-covered floor. They do a good job building the nests with hay themselves. These are the Guinea hens who want to start a clutch.
