tortures, offered her one of her young puppies, which she immediately fell a licking, and for the time seemed insensible of her own pain; on the removal she kept her eye fixed on it, and began a wailing sort of cry, which seemed rather to proceed from the loss of her young one than the sense of her own torments. The horrible barbarity of the experiment almost overpowers our admiration of the maternal love, and we blush to contrast the cruelty of the man with the invincible affection of the dog.
Whatever opinion may be formed of the sagacity of the dog on particular points, it is impossible to deny that he possesses faculties in addition to those which we ordinarily call instinct.
We have no intention at present to plunge into the thorny discussion of the precise extent of his intellectual powers; but we feel assured that no one can follow the dog through the several phases of his history, and not acknowledge, in the words of Gaston Phoebus, which M. Blaze has taken for his motto, · That he is the most noble, most reasonable, and most knowing beast that God ever made.' And, as all his rare endowments have been dedicated to man, there is no animal in creation that has a stronger claim upon our gratitude and love. M. Blaze, whose affectionate earnestness for the welfare of the dog is the great charm of his book, would extend his care beyond their lives, and erect monuments to their memory. A great poet, whose feelings are always warm and true, has supplied the answer in a tribute to a dog whose death he lamented, and whose 'name' he honoured :'
Lie here, without a record of thy worth,
Brother to brother-this is all we can.' But, if we raise no stone, the epitaph of the dog has been written in many splendid eulogies. M. Blaze has added one more to the number, which we think is not unworthy to stand beside the best:
• The dog,' he says, 'possesses, incontestably, all the qualities of a sensible man; and, I grieve to say it, man has not in general the noble qualities of the dog. We make a virtue of gratitude, which is nothing but a duty; this virtue, this duty, are inherent in the dog. We brand ingratitude, and yet all men are ungrateful. It is a vice which commences in the cradle, and grows with our growth; and, together with selfishness, becomes almost always the grand mover of human actions. The dog knows not the word virtue; that which we dignify by this title, and admire as a rare thing—and very rare it is in truth-constitutes his normal state. Where will you find a man always grateful, never ungrateful — always affectionate, never selfish — pushing the abnegation of
self to the utmost limits of possibility ; without gain, devoted to death, without ambition, rendering every service-in short, forgetful of injuries, and only mindful of benefits received ? Seek him not—it would be a useless task: but take the first dog you meet, and from the moment he adopts you for his master, you will find in him all these qualities. He will love you without calculation entering into his affections. His greatest happiness will be to be near you; and should you be reduced to beg your bread, not only will he aid you in this difficult trade, but he would not abandon you to follow even a king into his palace. Your friends will quit you in misfortune-your wife perhaps will forget her plighted troth; your dog will remain always near you-he will come and die at your feet; or, if you depart before him for the great voyage, he will accompany you to your last abode.'
Art. VIII.-Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, to
Sir Horace Mann, His Britannic Majesty's Resident at the Court of Florence, from 1760 to 1785. Now first published from the original MSS. Concluding Series. 2 vols. London. *1843. THE literary fame of Horace Walpole has passed through
several phases — always on the increase-and we doubt whether it is even yet at its full. These volumes announce themselves on their title-pages as a concluding series ;' but they are only the first half of the concluding series of the letters to Sir Horace Mann, and we have reason to suppose
that its two more promised volumes will not exhaust the store of manuscripts which Walpole left behind him for publication. And what a voluminous and important author this writer of light essays and gossiping letters has become! Soon after his death there were published five large quartos of his opuscula-he wrote nothing that in itself deserves a higher title—and since that time more than an equal bulk of his memoirs and correspondence has appeared; and much, though we know not exactly what, must still remain behind.
His first attempts as an author were those of a man of fashion amusing himself with literary trifles in the intervals of still lighter frivolities. From these latter he was soon weaned by an instinctive love of the arts, and an almost instinctive zeal in politics; but the ambition of authorship, which he was for ever disclaiming, was, we are satisfied, his predominant passion. To it, fortunately for posterity, he contrived to make both politics and the arts subservient; and he has achieved a reputation not only, we believe, beyond all the aspirations of his vanity, but by means which at the
outset he could not have contemplated, and perhaps to the last did not very distinctly appreciate. It is not by his slight but lively sketch of Royal and Noble Authors,' or the · Anecdotes of Painting, of which he supplied little more than the gay strings that tied together the gatherings of Vertue; nor by his ingenious
Historic Doubts;' nor by his romance of · Otranto,' which founded the school to which Mrs. Radcliffe succeeded as head mistress ; nor by his well-written, but unactable, and almost unreadable, tragedy—though, in Lord Byron's opinion, it possesses beauties of the highest order;—it is not, we say, by any of these that Horace Walpole will be known to posterity, but by his • incomparable letters ;—and not even by them as lettersmodels though they be of every variety of epistolary excellence. They will indeed be long read-as we for twenty years have been reading them-for amusement: and their brilliancy-sparkling, but cold, like icicles in sunshine—will perhaps rival, in the coarser tastes of the generality of mankind, the sprightly and sensible causeries of Madame de Sévigné and the mingled pleasantry and pathos of poor Cowper : the only two letter-writers between whom and Walpole-magis pares quam similes-we can admit any propinquity of merit
. But it is not, we say, for the mere merits of his style that Walpole's letters are, we think, destined, more surely perhaps than any other work of his or our age, to immortality; it is because these letters are in fact a chronicle—much more minute and particular than · Hollinshed or Hall’—of every occurrence and of every opinion which attracted or deserved public attention, either at home or abroad, during one of the busiest half-centuries of European history. The collection having come upon us in livraisons, and at considerable intervals of time—and indeed being, as we see, still dribbling out--the attention of ordinary readers has not been drawn to the vast extent of the correspondence, nor to the important period of time it covers, and the variety—or we should rather say universality of the matter it contains. It is, in fact, a perfect encyclopædia of information from the very best sources--politics from the fountain-head of parties—debates by the best of reporters
- foreign affairs from an habitué of diplomatic society-sketches of public characters by their intimate acquaintance or associate the gossip of fashionable life from a man of fashion literature from a man of letters—the arts from a man of taste-the news of the town from a member of
club in St. James's Street; and all this retailed, day by day, and hour by hour, to a variety of correspondents-reddendo singula singulis-according to their various stations, characters, and tastes, by a pen whose vivacity and graphic power is equalled by nothing but the wonderful industry
and perseverance with which it was plied through so long a series of years.
Has it ever occurred to any one to compute how a man of fashion, of pleasure, of literary occupations--a close attendant in parliament for near thirty years, and an annual, if not perennial, victim to the gout-could find patience, or time, or even manual strength, to execute, with a delicate hand, and without a blot(the numerous letters, which we have happened to see, bear all the appearance of a neat, slow, and even laborious penmanship)so voluminous a correspondence?
In the quarto edition of his works, published in 1798 by Mr. Berry and his daughter, one of the five large volumes and part of another are occupied with portions (and it seems small ones) of his correspondence with West, Conway, Gray, Bentley, Lord Strafford, and some other friends, male and female. Another quarto volume of letters to Mr. George Montague followed, in 1818; and another, of his correspondence with Mr. Cole; and another, containing his very long and interesting despatches to Lord Hertford during the short period of his embassy at Paris, followed by a small collection of letters to Dr. Zouch;
and then we had the first series of the letters to Sir Horace Mann, in three volumes octavo. All these, with the addition of some letters to the young friends of his old age,
the Miss Berrys, were two or three years ago collected into six closely-printed volumes—containing above 1400 letters; and no we are presented with two additional volumes of letters to Sir Horace Mann, containing 260, with the promise of two more, of no doubt an equal size the whole amounting to little short of 2000 letters—not notes, but letters-most of them so long, and we believe so laboured, that most men
• Such men as live in these degenerate days '— would think each of them a good morning's work. And these are only the series of his letters to regular correspondents which happen to have been preserved, and do not include probably a fifth of those that he wrote to Conway and Lord Hertford, nor any great number to Madame du Deffand, nor of the greater number. that he must have occasionally written to a large circle of friends and acquaintances; and they are also exclusive of letters of business which his offices, his public duties, his private affairs, and the ordinary intercourse of a man of rank and fortune with the world, must necessarily have required from him. We used to wonder at the ease and rapidity with which Madame de Sévigné laissait trotter sa plume; but Horace Walpole's goes full gallop, and scours the country round, every day and in all directions, with a rapidity and vigour quite, we believe, unexampled; and posterity
will assuredly know more of the manners, fashions, feelings, factions, parties, politics, private anecdotes, and general history, of the latter half of the eighteenth century from Horace Walpole's letters than from
any other source; or, indeed, we believe we may safely say, from all other sources together. They are the Annual Register-Hansard's Debates-the Gentleman's Magazine—the Critical Review--the Morning Post-the London Gazette-and even the Hue and Cry and the Newgate Calendar, all in one; but combined with so much taste and talent, enlivened by so much pleasantry, tempered with so much sense and shrewdness, that our children may learn in the pages of Walpole to know their great-grandfathers better than their great-grandfathers knew themselves.
But this high commendation must be seasoned cum granoor rather, indeed, with a great many grains of caution. As
posterity will certainly make large and frequent appeals to the authority of Walpole, it is necessary that we who have lived near his times, and who personally knew some of the people, and are traditionally acquainted with many of the transactions which he describes, should warn those who came after us that this spirited and rapid sketcher of scenes, manners, and characters is—as might indeed be expected, when one writes so much and so hastily— sometimes very inaccurate. His most frequent and important inaccuracies, however, have not even the apology of haste-for his haste is never hurry—but, like all story-tellers and dealers in anecdotes, he is much more anxious for effect than truth—to amuse rather than inform. No painter was ever more ready to sacrifice the accuracy of details to a tone of colour than Walpole, and he carries this system of embellishment to a degree that diminishes, even in indifferent matters, our confidence in his veracity: the picture is fine, but we have no faith in its fidelity.
In addition to the natural tendency of wit to be sarcastic, and of gossip to degenerate into scandal, he is justly chargeable with a still more serious offence. His individual prejudices, both personal and political, were so strong, so violent, as sometimes to amount, in our opinion-and we speak advisedly—to positive aberration of intellect. Wherever he once takes offence, he distorts facts, discolours motives, and disparages persons with the most ingenious and inveterate malignity. The Pelhams—for instance—the Yorkes, the Pulteneys, the Bolingbrokes, and above all, his own uncle and his family are, on every possible occasion, ridiculed, misrepresented, and calumniated. As such violent injustice could neither be denied or defended, nor indeed, at first sight, accounted for by any ordinary motives, it has been suggested, by way of palliation, that he was probably under the amiable influence of filial

Thanks to comparatively low national debt, low inflation and a banking sector perceived as safe and stable, the muscular Australian leasing industry has largely avoided fallout from the European crisis.

Parliamentary security has come under fresh scrutiny after video emerged showing the immediate aftermath of the attack which left PC Keith Palmer dead
Disturbing footage has emerged showing the gates of Parliament were left open and apparently unmanned in the immediate wake of Wednesday's attack.
The video, captured by The Times, raises fresh questions over the security at the Palace of Westminster.
Mobile phone footage shows the aftermath of the assault on New Palace Yard which left Pc Keith Palmer fatally injured.
As armed officers swarm the cobbled forecourt having shot dead terrorist Khalid Masood , the imposing iron gate which allows vehicles to enter can be seen wide open.
The gates were open in the immediate aftermath of the terror attack
The killer's car rammed the gates just yards away
Khalid Masood was shot dead following his rampage
No police officers are visible guarding the entry point, known as Carriage Gates, fuelling concern the attack might have been worse had Masood been followed by accomplices.
Pedestrians are shown walking past and at one stage a courier on a moped appears to enter unchallenged.
PC Keith Palmer was photographed with American tourist Staci Martin just 45 minutes before the attack
Yards away, separate footage showed Theresa May being rushed from the building and into a waiting car.
Although the gate was open for a matter of minutes, critics will use the brief security lapse to rebuke claims on Friday by Scotland Yard's anti-terror chief that current arrangements were "proportionate".
Prime Minister Theresa May was whisked away from Parliament minutes after the attack
Mark Rowley told reporters that procedures for guarding Parliament had been designed so they were not "overly intrusive".
"Our current arrangements have been developed with Parliament over many years and are designed to provide access to the seat of our government balanced with security that is proportionate but not overly intrusive," he said.
Parliament's main entrance has two sets of large metal gates allowing vehicles to go in and out of the estate and they have traditionally been left open during the day.
A pair of smaller, makeshift gates was introduced more recently with two police officers at each to check passes and allow cyclists, cars and delivery drivers to come and go.

Some of you may recall that, two years ago, I was getting pretty fed up with the bonanza surrounding the Judgment of Paris’ 40th anniversary. It’s not that I don’t believe that the 1976 event, in which California wines were judged superior to French Bordeauxs and Burgundies, wasn’t an important moment. It was. But in the decades since that fateful tasting, the story has gotten twisted in so many different directions that it often now reads as fiction.
And all that was before I dove into the stories of Joanne DePuy and Patricia Gallagher-Gastaud.
As it turns out, the Judgment of Paris has its own set of hidden figures: women who played as large a role as anyone, yet are rarely mentioned in the history books. Gallagher-Gastaud came up with the whole idea for the Judgment of Paris. DePuy introduced Steven Spurrier, who organized the tasting, to Chateau Montelena and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars — and ended up transporting all of the wines from Napa to Paris herself when Spurrier’s original plan fell through.
DePuy and Gallagher-Gastaud are not in “Bottle Shock.” They’re not in “Somm 3” (which premieres in San Francisco tonight). But they are now in The Chronicle! Read the main story, which is part of this Sunday’s special Food section, built around the theme of matriarchy.
And California-wine history buffs should check out this bonus story on the little-known saga of Joanne DePuy’s wine tour. Did you know that, at the time of the Judgment of Paris, DePuy was in France with a group of vintners that included Andre Tchelistcheff, Andy Beckstoffer, Louis Martini, Margrit Biever Mondavi and Bob Travers? (I didn’t. It’s great.)
Also: Do you enjoy grape-derived beverages? Then why aren’t you drinking brandy? California aged brandies have never been better than today, reports our spirits correspondent Lou Bustamante. The state even has a burgeoning grower-producer movement, now that one ambitious distiller near Santa Cruz has planted an estate vineyard. (Plus: Lou’s buying guide.)
Where I’m drinking
Bay Grape, near Oakland’s Lake Merritt, is one of my favorite wine shops in the Bay Area. It’s got a smart, forward-thinking selection, focusing on small (and mostly family-owned) wineries, plus holds lots of classes, blind tastings, beer tastings — even CSA produce pick-ups. This Sunday, I’ll be joining shop owners Stevie Stacionis and Josiah Baldivino for the final installment in their Sunday School series on natural wine. We’ll be talking about what natural wine is, how the movement is evolving and how we should be thinking about it. Plus, we’ll be drinking some really good (and not necessarily all “natural”) wines, chosen by me. Join us!
What I’m reading
In The Press, Tim Teichgraeber recounts the lively history of urban wineries in the Bay Area, from 1894 (when 84 percent of all California wine was produced in San Francisco!) to the Dashes, Donkey & Goats and Rosenblums of today.
The 2018 California wine harvest looks like a bumper crop. Could that be too much of a good thing? The Press Democrat reports on the California wine industry’s “oversupply” problem. (This played a role in the recent smoke-taint disputes, by the way.)
In completely opposite news, world wine production in 2017 was at its lowest level since 1957, reports Reuters. The main culprit: bad weather in Europe.
The latest California wine company to invest in Oregon vineyard land is the Family Coppola, which purchased the 42-acre Vista Hills Vineyard in the Willamette Valley this week. Other major companies like Jackson Family and Copper Cane have been in Oregon for years now.
Constellation, however, is looking to sell off some of its wine brands, including Clos du Bois, Mark West and Arbor Mist, according to CNBC. The hypothetical sale could net Constellation more than $260 million.
Siduri founder Adam Lee is trying out an unprecedented sales model for his new Clarice Wine Co., “not so much wine club as a gated wine community,” writes Mike Dunne in the Sacramento Bee.
There’s a growing natural wine movement in Tuscany, says Laura Rysman in the New York Times travel section, and these wineries are hoping to lure more tourists to stay at their biodynamic farms.

Wired tests out several “aroma kits,” which purport to teach you how to identify aromas in wine. They are very expensive (and you can’t even drink them!), but writer Christopher Null finds his Pinot Noir-smelling ability greatly improved afterward.
Finally, the Bay Area’s most famous whiskey entrepreneur/rapper, G-Eazy, talked to The Chronicle about his favorite Mission burrito (and also about eating at Osteria Francescana, which provides a very different kind of meal).

Reading’s Urban Explorer took a glimpse into the world’s leading site for jet engine research before its demolition.
Photographer Matt Emmett described the National Gas Turbine Establishment in Fleet as “one of the most interesting and exciting places I have photographed”.
The Reading-based snapper, who has previously taken spectacular shots of the Metal Box building in Reading and the haunting former Crookham Court School in Thatcham, spent more than 100 hours during 11 visits inside the town-sized site back in 2012, which produced these amazing pictures.
The building was operational from 1950 until 2001, and engines for aircraft including the Tornado, Vulcan Bomber, Harrier and Typhoon were all tested there.
There was even a dedicated altitude test cell built there to test the Olympus 593 engines at Mach2.

I was out of town this week so it was hard for me to update as normal. I missed being home! :)
I know many of you up the eastern north are feeling the first signs of that lovely time called Spring. Still cool enough for a light sweater but warm enough to break out of your gray and black routine.
It's also time to do all sorts of happy things to your eye! Like happy pastels and lovely light shimmers for both day and night looks. I went about and found some of my favorite shadows if you're looking to add a bit of color to your usual daily routine.
Now, I know not everyone is willing to paint their eye blue like I am so I've divided them into sections and you can pick from where you feel most comfortable with.
Play with some peachy corals, soft greens, mild purples and loads of highlights.Either skip the eyeliner or use some light brown liner, the black will just make your eye heavy and defeat the purpose of the 'lighter' look.
L-R: 'Wink' by Heavenly Natural Beauty, 'Tropical' by NYX, 'Swimming' by MAC, 'Amethyst' by ELF Studio, 'Naked' by Mum Mum's and 'Kuala Lumpur' by Nars
Not afraid of trying something new and exciting? Hell, you may even need an entire palette to update your look! Play with color with your eyeliner, there's tons of beautiful eyeliners that will compliment your bold eyeshadow. Keep your lips lighter since you're piling on the color in your lids.
L-R: 'Happily Ever After' by HiFi Cosmetics, 'Birds and Berries' by MAC, 'Appletini' by Beauty from the Earth, 'Atmosphere' by Urban Decay Stardust Collection & 'Flower Child Palette' by Tarte.
I personally play with each look, some days I feel like just wearing something soft and brown on my lid and then other days I'm all about the metallic green shadow. Either way you can play all you like, its time to show how much you love Spring with your lovely lids.

These and many other crucial questions are answered in Life in Christ, a clear, concise guide to the teachings of the Catholic Church designed specifically for adults. Presented in the traditional question-and-answer format, this guide is easy to read and yet completely thorough.
Now revised in accordance with the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, Life in Christ covers all aspects of Catholic life, including prayer, the sacraments, the Holy Spirit, and such controversial topics as abortion, birth control, divorce, and annulment. Totally grounded in Scripture and Church teaching, this is an accessible presentation of Catholic faith and the ideal companion to the new Catechism.
Life in Christ is an excellent introduction or refresher for anyone -- Catholic and non-Catholic alike -- who is seeking to understand more about Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church, and modern Christianity.

After a shorter, but more intense, first stage of the 2023 Dusi Canoe Marathon, favourites Andy Birkett and Christie Mackenzie took the stage honours in contrasting races on Thursday.
With the adjusted start at Bishopstowe Country Club, paddlers started with a portage where Team MyLife’s Msawenkosi Mtolo took the initiative and raced to an early lead.
Birkett put in after that initial portage in fifth place, but the twelve-time champion slowly picked off the field to hit the Geoff’s Road portage alongside Mtolo at the front of the race.
The pair were together for the majority of the remainder of the stage, until the Cabbage Tree portage where Birkett opened a small but significant gap and maintained it to finish a minute ahead of Mtolo.
Despite the reduced distance, Birkett didn’t feel like the stage was any less taxing.
“It was a shorter stage, being two hours as opposed to three, but nonetheless it was a tough stage,” Birkett said.
“It was a very quick stage and guys like Msawe (Mtolo) took off at the start which was a shock to the system, but I enjoyed it out there and stuck to my plan and then got a gap at Cabbage Tree.”
Birkett’s conservative approach to the early stages of the races came after an important pre-race conversation.
“I was chatting to one of the guys before the start and they said you can’t win the race on the first portage, but you can lose it.
“You can injury yourself, or you can twist your ankle, so I had to try and take a conservative approach in the early stages because I knew that I could make up time lost there.
“Dusi is a three-day race and it’s a race of consistency, so I’ll try and hold it together on day two,” the ten-time defending champion mentioned.
Msawenkosi Mtolo had a strong day in the boat and proved his Dusi credentials after a solid pre-Dusi season. His result wasn’t a surprise to him, but he knows he’s got his work cut out for him to hold off his brother Sandile who finished third.
It was a strong paddle from Sandile who managed to shake off Banetse Nkhoesa during the stage to claim his first podium stage finish.
The women’s race was decidedly more one-sided as Mackenzie put in a dominant display that saw her lead from start to finish.
Euro Steel’s Mackenzie is hunting down a third consecutive Dusi title and holds a lead of over ten minutes on Bridgitte Hartley in second with Jordan Peek in third after Thursday’s opening stage.
After relocating to Durban and taking on a new coach, Mackenzie feels that these changes have facilitated more changes to her paddling.
“I think that I executed my race plan to perfection today,” Mackenzie said. “In the past I would think about the other girls on the start line, and I was told by my coach to just focus on what I know how to do.
“The changes have definitely helped me be more calm in the river, but I think that the portage at the start helped because it didn’t feel like Dusi … it felt like another Saturday pre-Dusi race.
“Nerves were really low this morning and I was very pleased with how it went.”
For second placed Hartley, her performance exceeded her expectations.
“It’s a really nice surprise to finish where I did, mainly because I thought that from the start I would go at my own pace and I was able to pick off the girls slowly,” Hartley said.
“When we put in after the first portage I knew that I just needed to catch third and at Guinea Fowl I caught third, and so I just wanted to put my head down on Cabbage Tree and paddling around worked out for me.”
The second and longest stage of the Dusi Canoe Marathon takes paddlers on a tough 44km route from Dusi Bridge to Msinsi Resort at Inanda Dam on Friday.

Montréal comprises a large geographical area, and has a modern and efficient public transport system to serve its residents. One popular desire when relocating to a new city is to ‘live a few minutes from a metro station’ – but in Montréal, there are large portions of the greater metropolitan area that are not served by the metro system, so many Montréalers live a bus ride away to the nearest metro. However, the bus system is very reliable, and during the winter, most Montréalers will hop on a bus even if the metro is just a few stops away!
Montréal Metro and Trains
Opened in 1966, the Montréal Metro System is run by the Société de Transports de Montréal (STM) and consists of four interconnected lines. In total, there are 68 stations across the Greater Montréal area.
The four lines are colour-coordinated to help you find your way around. There is the Green Line, the Orange Line, the Yellow Line and the Blue Line. There are also five suburban train lines that are operated by the réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM) and serve towns in the Laurentians, Laval, Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Montérégie.
The metro serves about 1,298,400 daily passengers on an average weekday, making it North America’s third busiest by daily ridership, behind only New York City and Mexico City.
Click here for more information about the STM.
There are approximately 8,500 bus stops in the Montréal area, across 197 daytime and 20 nighttime routes. The bus stop panel indicates the number of the route, the type of service, if the bus goes to a métro or train station and the bus stop code enabling you to obtain the schedule by telephone at 514-AUTOBUS or 514.288.6287.
At peak times, expect a bus at least every 10 minutes.
As with other major cities, Montréal operates a reloadable fare card, OPUS, which is valid everywhere on transit in Greater Montréal.
As of July 2018, a single fare costs $3.25 (with concession prices available), while a monthly pass costs $85.00. For full fares and details, visit the STM site.

Louise Powers hidden door, 2018-09-29 16:09:58. Making arrangements to build this room behind the bookshelf is the most affordable and simplest option you can give a thought to. Though a few people might consider the probability of getting it done beneath a staircase, it is not a great idea and may not be invisible and hidden from the view of outsiders. Let us see a few simple steps to build a good hidden room with a low budget.
Rylan Pate hidden door, 2018-10-01 11:58:05.
Rylan Pate hidden door, 2018-09-23 20:37:46. If space is tight in the room, than the folding closet door would be a good way to go. You will have access to all the space I your closet without having to make room in front of the closet for the doors to swing open. A good set of folding closet doors would come with a set of door rails that allows smooth movement of the folding closet doors. You can attach a lighting system to the folding closet doors so that the lights inside the closet will come on when you fold open the doors.

In fact, when you looked at it, it looked like the kind of bookcases that you see in the offices of doctors and dentists for their patient files. But when you moved this bookcase, and it didn't tell where the movable panel was, there was this delightful room behind it for kids.

Veronica Lara hidden door, 2018-10-02 01:01:23. When kids often watch spy or adventure films, it's hard not to wish for the amazing reality of having your own faux bookshelf or wall that leads to a secret room. Well, another perk of growing up means turning those dreams into a reality. While the initial investment may be costly, it's actually an attainable goal if you want to add a hidden door to your home. From InvisiDoor flat panel doors to full book case doors, you can find what you need at a few hundred to a little over a thousand dollars. The results? Priceless.
Rylan Pate hidden door, 2018-10-01 23:46:04. Bookshelves are one of the most useful pieces of furniture a home can have. Installing them is also easy but have you ever considered bookshelf closet doors? These are the perfect doors for a bedroom because they not only help hide your closet from view but they give you extra space to display books, videos or valuables. In addition to this they can provide you with a safe place to retreat to in the event of a home invasion. They can be purchased in different styles such as bifold, sliding and swing style doors.
Veronica Lara hidden door, 2018-10-01 15:07:39. Panic room is also the same as hidden room or safe room; they all have the function to protect the owner against attack, terror or invasion from any intruder from outside. It will be completed with some kind of security system, the passage way or door to enter this room is commonly made from thick steel door and protected with secret codes to enter, which used high -tech. The walls of room are also thicker than ordinary, this is to defend the person inside from the shooting attack of the intruders.
Elizabeth Arnold hidden door, 2018-10-01 13:55:26. You can have a unique addition to your room décor as well as an extra storage space by replacing that old, boring closet door with secret bookcase doors. A secret door is a great way to disguise a closet, wine room, gun closet, linen closet or any areas in your home that requires a door and you want to hide from your visitors.

In fact, when you looked at it, it looked like the kind of bookcases that you see in the offices of doctors and dentists for their patient files. But when you moved this bookcase, and it didn't tell where the movable panel was, there was this delightful room behind it for kids.

In most houses, the presence of the basement can go easily unnoticed. You can create an entrance to the basement from a doorway created in the floor of the ground floor.

Mix ammonia and turpentine in equal parts, saturate the spot two or three times, and wash out with soapsuds. This will take out paint from clothing even if dry and hard. Paint spots on window glass can be removed with ten cents' worth of oxalic acid dissolved in a pint of hot water. While applying it to the spots, take care that the acid does not touch the hands. Brasses may be quickly cleaned with this wash; but it must not be kept after using, as it is a deadly poison.

Golf Hit Long And Straight Drives Youtube Golf Hit Long And Straight Drives
Those that offer a mix of balance durability and ease of use in all-titanium or combination of titanium and other non-metal materials emerge as popular options. Indeed golf drivers and other equipment that combine several characteristics from good shape and length to accuracy speed quality and value for money.

When youre already employed to it opt for a smaller design a smaller clubhead allows the player to decide on more spots to hit on when compared with a larger clubhead. Weighings are also put into consideration. A club has an external or internal weighing that can be added on. Weighings assist you to change the screws to make a draw or a fade and also affects the height of the balls flight. An accurate shaft flex ought to also be considered so itll fit your swing. As an example a player with a quickly swing ought to pick a stiff shaft driver to maintain accuracy even though on the other hand one having a slow swing ought to have the flexible shaft to increase distance of the drive.
Golf will not be the same with out the golf clubs or more referred to as golf drivers. No golf doesnt demand driving but the golf drivers assist the player in acquiring the ball as close to the hole in the least number of times feasible. Several beginner players believe that golf is just a "get and go" sport- you just get any golf club and whack the green. Golf drivers have specific attributes that should be considered just before purchasing and really should be taken into consideration to stop wasting money and added frustration when starting to play. When choosing the best 1 do not hesitate to ask experienced players as they know greatest.

New Amazon air cargo facility coming to the Sunport?
Amazon's future investment in Albuquerque is now in the hands of city council. The company’s looking to build an air cargo facility at the Sunport.
According to the nearly 70-page agreement, the Sunport would lease about five acres of land to Amazon. In return, they’d get thousands of dollars annually.
Ahead of the opening of Amazon's new fulfillment center on the westside, the online retail giant is now looking to make another investment in the Duke City.
On Monday, a ground lease agreement between the city and Amazon was introduced to city council.
According to the documents, the city will let Amazon use vacant land and expand cargo operations. In return, the Sunport is expected to generate over $50,000 a year. And, the cargo facility won't cost the city a dime.
But the Sunport is putting $11 million toward a cargo apron project, which would expand where cargo planes like those from FedEx and UPS can park. We’re told about half is already covered by federal funding.
"We're happy to see the proposed lease and development agreement with Amazon making its way through the council process," said Stephanie Kitts, Sunport spokesperson in a statement. "In addition to adding another cargo operator, this partnership would certainly benefit the local economy and generate revenue for the Sunport if approved by council."
Amazon sent us a statement this week saying, "While we haven't signed a lease for this location, we're actively exploring options locally. Our commitment with developers is to be a good neighbor, assess how we can invest, create jobs and integrate well into the community."
According to documents, the agreement would initially last 10 years, but could go for 25 years. The cargo facility is expected to be about 30,000 square feet.

Sometimes, it seems the “awareness month” wagon has rolled a little off the rails. For example, apparently, February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month and, no lie, Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month. Listen, we like fuzzy bunnies as much as the next person, and we do believe shopping carts belong in supermarkets and not in your driveway. That said, we’re not positive an entire awareness campaign, for either cause, is really necessary.
But there is one issue that gets the spotlight in February and we are here for it! February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month. At Carter Eye Center, we care about your eyes. We want you to have the best possible vision you can have and enjoy healthy eyes for a lifetime.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a genetic disease associated with aging, where the central portion of the retina (called the macula) deteriorates. AMD is also one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It affects your central vision and has a negative impact on everyday activities, such as driving, reading and recognizing faces.
Millions of people are diagnosed with AMD each year; a visit with a board-certified ophthalmologist like Dr. Carter is the right place to start if you are concerned about this condition. He can help you find a retina specialist to guide you through managing this sight-stealing condition.
Types of Macular Degeneration
There are two types of AMD: dry (by far, the most common type) and wet. Treatment for dry AMD begins with routine eye exams with your eye doctor, especially after age 60, with the goal of early detection. If detected, Dr. Carter may prescribe a mix of zinc and antioxidants to help in slowing the progression of the disease. And he will refer you to a trusted retina specialist for ongoing care and treatment.
Treatment for the much less common wet AMD can include a number of options, including intravitreal injections that inhibit the growth of the abnormal blood cells that cause wet AMD.
Macular degeneration is irreversible, so patients who are at risk for age-related eye disorders need to be diligent about their eye care. If you are at risk for AMD, please contact us today. By identifying the early signs of macular degeneration, we can help prevent and treat this disease.
The Carter Cares Advantage
At Carter Eye Center, our shared goal is to be the best, most trusted eye care provider in Dallas. With an internationally renowned and experienced ophthalmologist, skilled optometrists and a highly trained clinical team, we provide the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic tests, treatments and procedures, customized to your needs, lifestyle and vision goals.
Schedule an appointment with your Carter Eye Center team to learn more about how to protect and preserve your vision today and in the future.

Each fortnight a poem is chosen to be recorded by as many LibriVox volunteers as possible!Henry Kendall was the first Australian poet to draw his inspiration from the life, scenery and traditions of the country. In the beginnings of Australian poetry the names of two other men stand with his—Adam Lindsay Gordon, of English parentage and education, and Charles Harpur, born in Australia a generation earlier than Kendall. Harpur's work, though lacking vitality, shows fitful gleams of poetic fire suggestive of greater achievement had the circumstances of his life been more favourable. Kendall, whose lot was scarcely more fortunate, is a true singer; his songs remain, and are likely long to remain, attractive to poetry lovers.

Where the strength of dry thunder splits hill-rocks asunder,
And the shouts of the desert-wind break,
By the gullies of deepness and ridges of steepness,
Lo, the cattle track twists like a snake!
Like a sea of dead embers, burnt white by Decembers,
A plain to the left of it lies;
And six fleeting horses dash down the creek courses
With the terror of thirst in their eyes.
The false strength of fever, that deadly deceiver,
Gives foot to each famishing beast;
And over lands rotten, by rain-winds forgotten,
The mirage gleams out in the east.
Ah! the waters are hidden from riders and ridden
In a stream where the cattle track dips;
And Death on their faces is scoring fierce traces,
And the drouth is a fire on their lips.
It is far to the station, and gaunt Desolation
Is a spectre that glooms in the way;
Like a red smoke the air is, like a hell-light its glare is,
And as flame are the feet of the day.
The wastes are like metal that forges unsettle
When the heat of the furnace is white;
And the cool breeze that bloweth when an English sun goeth,
Is unknown to the wild desert night.
A cry of distress there! a horseman the less there!
The mock-waters shine like a moon!
It is "Speed, and speed faster from this hole of disaster!
And hurrah for yon God-sent lagoon!"
Doth a devil deceive them? Ah, now let us leave them—
We are burdened in life with the sad;
Our portion is trouble, our joy is a bubble,
And the gladdest is never too glad.
From the pale tracts of peril, past mountain heads sterile,
To a sweet river shadowed with reeds,
Where Summer steps lightly, and Winter beams brightly,
The hoof-rutted cattle track leads.
There soft is the moonlight, and tender the noon-light;
There fiery things falter and fall;
And there may be seen, now, the gold and the green, now,
And the wings of a peace over all.
Hush, bittern and plover! Go, wind, to thy cover
Away by the snow-smitten Pole!
The rotten leaf falleth, the forest rain calleth;
And what is the end of the whole?
Some men are successful after seasons distressful
[Now, masters, the drift of my tale];
But the brink of salvation is a lair of damnation
For others who struggle, yet fail.

Maglite ML50L LED C-Cell flashlight is the light for all your needs. Since the beginning, Mag Instrument has prided itself on its beam-forming optics -- the quality of its precision-designed and precision-crafted reflectors, and the versatility of its spot-to-flood beam focusing mechanism. High-quality optics help a flashlight to direct light in a useful way without excessive power consumption – something that the “brute force” approach of maximizing lumen output cannot do. High-quality optics can also play a role in slowing battery consumption and prolonging Run Time. As LED technology continues to advance, the number of watts of power consumed per lumen of light generated goes down; but it is still true to say that the more lumens you want, the faster you will consume battery power.

- PURPOSE This review summarizes the evidence regarding the efficacy of adjuvant steroids for pain reduction in acute pharyngitis. METHODS We searched for randomized controlled trials, using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, published between 1966 and December 2008. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each retrieved article and summarized the data. RESULTS Our review found 8 relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 806 patients. There were 5 RCTs with adult patients and 3 with children. All RCTs found a statistically significant faster reduction of pain or complete pain relief from steroid use compared with placebo. The trials used different steroids (dexamethasone, betamethasone, prednisone), and most participants had received antibiotics at least initially. Analgesic medication, such as acetaminophen, was allowed in all studies, but this factor was not always controlled. No serious adverse side effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS Steroids are effective in relieving pain in acute pharyngitis. Although no serious adverse effects were observed, the benefits have to be balanced with possible adverse drug effects. There are safe and effective over-the-counter medications to relieve throat pain. Most patients received concomitant antibiotics; however, reducing the prescription of antibiotics for generally benign upper respiratory tract infection is a public health goal. We therefore recommend further studies to establish both the safety of steroids without antibiotic coverage and the additional benefits of steroids when used with regular administration of over-the-counter analgesic medications.

New York: Hachette Filipacchi Magazines, 2000. Quarto, publisher's photo-illustrated wraps.
"A magazine about politics for people who think they don’t like politics." October 2000 issue of JFK, Jr.’s "politics-as-lifestyle" magazine, with Michael J. Fox on the cover. Established in 1995 with businessman Michael Berman after Kennedy left his career as a lawyer behind, George was the first mass market magazine to pair politics with glamor and celebrity. (The inaugural issue, featuring a now-iconic cover image of Cindy Crawford as George Washington shot by Herb Ritts, was a blockbuster debut.) While the "post-partisan" publication was an immediate hit, by late 1998 George began to flounder due to editorial infighting, a drop in readership, and general financial trouble – the New York Post began a "virtual George death watch." When publisher Hachette Filipacchi informed Kennedy they would be pulling the plug on the magazine, he scrambled to find new investors; it was during this interim period that he died in a plane crash, on July 16, 1999. The magazine remained in print for one year after the tragedy. This issue – "The George Awards" – features an interview with MJF by Nancy Collins, short profiles of seven "Citizens of the Year" (including Mr. Rogers) on the occasion of the first George Awards, a critique of Hillary's loyalty to Bill, a profile of Willie Nelson and another of Spike Lee, and more. Profusely illustrated in color and black-and-white. Light creasing and edgewear, original sticker to upper wrap. Near fine. Item #7154

Beginning in the 1960s, transgender people began seeking employment protections through lawsuits and legislative lobbying, largely unsuccessfully. The adoption of employer transgender workplace policies was non-existent prior to 1975, was infrequent from 1975 to 1996, began a slow but steady increase in 1997, and a rapid increase in 2001 which is continuing. What caused this trend? Is it a sudden increase in the 0.01% of employees that are visibly transgender? Is it altruism on the part of employers unaware until recently of the needs of transgender employees? Political liberalism? Political correctness? All of these social forces have their place, but none is a complete explanation. My 2003 dissertation research, involving 40 interviews with employers that had adopted transgender EEO policies, gives evidence for a different explanation.
The sudden increase in transgender EEO policies has been driven by the notion that diversity leadership will greatly enhance business efficiency in the near future. The evidence supporting this is as follows: In 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that there will be 1.4 million college-level entrants into the labor force and 1.4 million new college-level job openings. At the same time, if the trend in minority college graduation continues, about 30% of the entrants will be racial and ethnic minorities. Thus, for every 1000 college-level jobs, there will be 1000 college graduates, 300 of whom will be minorities. If only 64% of minority bachelor’s degree holders in 2012 are employed in college-level jobs (as they were in 2003), then about 200,000 college-level jobs will go begging. This will require higher incentives to fill those jobs. (Non-college-level jobs have similar statistics, but the need for college talent and the barriers to minority higher education make the crunch even more trenchant.)
Taken together, if these trends continue, failure to attract minority candidates will make recruitment excruciatingly difficult and require higher incentives to fill those jobs. Clearly, the ability to attract minority candidates is related to an organization's stance toward minorities. While other circumstances, such as globalization and outsourcing, may negate these projections, it is nonetheless correct to say that a growing number of large business organizations now operate under these beliefs.
The belief that the ability to attract minority candidates is important has made the business environment friendlier to sexual minorities in some organizations. In part, this is because attracting minority candidates is difficult, not the least of which is the illegality of race-based hiring under U.S. law. Therefore, in the 1990s, some large U.S. businesses began to speak broadly of "diversity" as a general good, and "diversity leadership" as essential to becoming an "employer of choice."
In the 1990s, U.S. gay and lesbian advocates, including employee groups, began to champion their cause using the language of "diversity." This achieved some success, but progress was slow. In 2001, these gay and lesbian advocates took up the cause of transgender workplace diversity. (Why they did that is a story for another day.) Partly because of the growing concern among forward-thinking employers about the coming labor crisis, both gay/lesbian and transgender workplace issues have been achieving increasing success. For those companies who consider it important to be a "diversity leader," this argument has been particularly successful. Thus, transgender diversity policies in the workplace have been driven by the notion that diversity leadership will greatly enhance business efficiency in the near future.
The "diversity" argument has had some success, but comparatively few large companies have adopted transgender diversity policies. At the time of this writing, there are only 81 Fortune 500 companies that have included "gender identity" in their EEO policy, as compared to 427 that have included "sexual orientation" in their EEO policy. In many instances, the "diversity" argument is trumped by the argument that there are too few transgender employees for such a policy to be necessary. However, I predict this argument will increasingly fail because it undercuts the idea of "diversity" that large companies have embraced. The failure to include transgender employees could be interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as demonstrating an organizational environment in which invidious discrimination is permissible as long as the group is relatively small and powerless. Top companies looking to attract top talent will not wish to take this risk, and the numbers argument will cut the other way: the number of transgender employees is so small that the cost of including them in policies is also small, while giving a big boost to inclusiveness.
The next phase of adoptions after the Fortune 500 will be smaller companies. Those companies do not have the same concerns driving the Fortune 500 transgender policies, but my guess is that once the matter becomes standard practice among the Fortune 500, those who follow the Fortune 500 will jump on board.
