Outside the depths of the city, hidden beneath the hills, across the dark damp fields and over the stony walls sits the Master of Horror in his spooky lair. OK, it's not quite that dramatic but it is almost Halloween. It's more like: Nestled in the village of Pallaskenry, County Limerick, overlooking a beautiful view of the River Shannon, sits an artistically unique abode where you can find multimillion selling horror author Darren O'Shaughnessy, more commonly known as Darren Shan.
Born in London to parents from Pallaskenry, Darren moved back to Limerick at the age of six and his relationship with writing had already begun. As his mother was a teacher, he was always writing stories but the older he got, the more this love grew as did his commitment to nurture it.
"As I got older, the love of storytelling stayed with me. I realised that I wasn't going to be a footballer, a rock star or an astronaut but I thought I could be a writer."
We have all been kids with dreams but few of us never lose sight of that dream throughout our turbulent adolescence, never mind the reality of adulthood but Darren never swayed from his plan to be a writer.
"I was determined. I used to drive my parents mad because they were delighted I had a goal but I never really was an exceptional student or anything because I spent more time reading and wasn't interested in other careers and wasn't interested in doing something that was going to make me money."
By his early teens, Darren was writing in his spare time and by his early twenties, he had his first book published. Called "Ayuamarca" and later republished as "Procession of the Dead", it was the first of a trilogy for adults and enjoyed some success. Darren also started writing a children's book during this time. It was something he always wanted to do and he had studied Children's Literature as part of his degree. This was to be the start of great things for Darren Shan as he was writing the book that shot him to fame, Cirque du Freak. But it was far from instant success.
"I remember the day my agent rang to say all twenty publishers had turned the book down. It was all at the same time. 'Sorry Darren, no one wants to publish your work.'…Everyone in the UK said it was no good and there would be a huge backlash against it. There had never been books like it for children; it was so very dark, so morbid. So I went for a walk around here and I said there is either one of two things here. Either all the experts are right and I should give up or they are all wrong and I've to hang in there and prove myself. I decided I was right…and I was."
It's at times like this, hearing stories like histhat I have to take a moment and ask what keeps people going? After endless hours of work completing his bookand not one but twenty publishers say no, it would seem like to natural thing to do would have been to seriously consider throwing in the towel or putting the pen down as the case may be.
"You've got to have that leap of faith. You've really got to believe in yourself. Hope that you are not deluded but really go for it. You can't give up. There is nothing worse than giving up because then you are always going to know inside your head you have failed. If you keep going for it you will never fail because even if you haven't been published yet, there is always the hope that you will be published and it's normally more than a hope."
Darren's trust in his ability paid off withCirque du Freak which became an international award winning book and the first of a 12 book series called The Saga of Darren Shan. And this was only the beginning. Cirque du Freak hit the big screen and I assumed it was one of the highlights for Darren in his career but he said it wasn't really as it was always in the pipeline. It can be strange sometimes how a question you ask can reveal more about a person in their answer than expected. Here I felt I got a glimpse into the man and not the author. His humility speaks for itself.
The biggest highlight for me in all my years of writing I have to say was the day that my agent rang me to say we'd sold the rights to Cirque duFreak, back in 1997 or '98 because it meant I could come off the dole.You know you see in these cheesy movies where you will get an actor or artist and they get their big break and they punch the air or kick their heels up? That's the only time I've ever done that because it meant for the next year or two at least I'd make minimum wage and financially justify myself to people and say 'look I wasn't deluded'…and I'd be able to afford to write full time. "
Lots of people wait for their 'big break' in the creative profession but Darren clearly stood out as someone with exceptional perseverance who wasn't waiting on anyone or anything to get him where he wanted to be. That being said, he did feel a certain level of luck was involved.
"You often hear writers talking about lucky breaks and things and it alwaysseemscrazy that luck is involved but it very often can be. If Cirque du Freak had been three years earlier, my agent might very likely have had a different read of Cirque du Freak …because he had got started with Harry Potter, he had got into the mindset and into the mould and fought for Cirque du Freak."
As someone who had read some of his books as a teenager, I delighted in the fact that I got to talk to the man who first brought horror into my life many moons ago and wondered why this genre appealed to him and why they have been and continue to be so successful with children.
"I started writing a book that I hoped that I would have enjoyed reading when I was 10, 11, 12 years of age. What would have thrilled me, what would have excited me then? So I put in circus freaks, I put in vampires, a kid who gets buried alive and has to fake his own death and leave his parents. These were all things that appealed to me so I just write for myself. "
Horror isn't exactly a genre that springs to mind when we think child or teenage readers and understandably obstacles presented themselves when it came to getting the books on the shelves.
"Publishers have realised their mistakes and realised that kids do like horror. There are parents who are happy to let their children read horror,where as that was another thing back in the day. It was sort of Catch 22. Because there weren't horror books that were suitable for children, parents had to view that horror books weren't suitable. I remember when Cirque du Freak came out publishers were really really nervous. W.H. Smith refused to stock it when it first came out because they were really concerned. The following year they nominated it for the book of the year award.
Darren Shan lets his young readers explore a side of fantasy and horror that they are naturally curious about. I wondered what changed in the adult world to open this world up to children.
"The books were reaching children that don't normally read and they'll read good horror books, which I like to think mine are, that aren't just about the gore and grittiness but actually trying to get children thinking about the world and their place in it and how they deal with day to day life and relationships and horror is a springboardinto that and they've realised it and it's become very popular since then."
Having started writing within this genre before getting into children's literature, Darren explained the different themes between his adult and children's books.
"My adult books explore more moral grey areas. In my children's books there is always hope. Lots of bad things happen but it's about children overcoming these huge obstacles that are put in their path. The main issue that runs through everyone of my children's series is that you can overcome anything in life where in my adults books, things can be a lot bleaker. I think it's good for children to have hope. By the time we get to adult stage, a lot of us start to despair about the state of the world and I think it'simportant to explore that and to look at society and the darker aspects of the human psyche but for the children, I try and put a bit of light in there."
According to Darren, there are many writers out there who have sold lots of books but not enough to give up the day job. I asked what advice he had for aspiring authors out there.
"To write a good story takes a lot of time and a lot of work. You've got toget experience of life; you've got to see people interacting and so on. It's normally something that takes a lot of time…You can't muck out War and Peace in 15minutes (Laughs)… Most writers don't start to mature until they are older…Your goal should be to write the best books you can tell, the best stories you can and see where that gets you. Sometimes there will be a market for what you write and sometimes there won't be. I was lucky I came along at a time when there was a market for vampires and demons…5 years earlier or 5 years later maybe there might not have been.
Creative process will vary from person to person but I was eager to know how Darren's worked as he is someone who has been writing since he was very young.
"You have got to do it. Every writer gets those moments of inspiration but they can come at any time or any point and there are huge gaps in between them. But also the way I find that you most kick off those creative juices is to write. The more writing you do the more you get into that zone and the more likely you are to pick up an idea and take you in some interesting directions…There are no magical secrets. The more you write, the more you learn, the better you get."
Demons and darkness aside, I couldn't help but wonder how international fame hadn't resulted in another country stealing our original gemstone. With so much of our talent abroad, why had Darren not got sucked into the vortex of emigration?
"Pallaskenry and Limerick is where my home is. I've been very lucky. I've been all around the world, I get to travel a lot and I go to London a lot so I have a flat there but this is home for me. This is where I live my life. It's great to go off an see the world but this is where I come back to…I realised as I starting travelling the world and seeing different places, there is nowhere really that can offer me anything that I cannot get in Limerick…I've never really seriously thought of anywhere else but here. When the sun shines there is nowhere like it. "
It's always invigorating to meet someone who has found their passion in life but to be so committed to it from a young age and persevere like Darren did, is particularly admirable. I think we could all learn a thing or two about the importance of our dreams and not losing sight of them from this inspiring man.

Well it's Christmas 🎄 break! And I'm obsessed with making donuts 🍩 apparently! Here's 2 recipes I made up today that came out great !!
For both recipes, I just weighed out the dry ingredients (in the photos) & added enough water to make them into a dough! Then pressed into the donut maker to cook them. They took about 4-5min total 😄.
These ones I used coconut flour and Lions Choice White Choc pretzel mix. It made 3 donuts — all 3 totaled 125 calories.
For this mix, I used coconut flour again (I love it bc it makes the baked good fluffier and adds FIBER!) & the lions choice vanilla cupcake Muffin mix … these ones turned out a little doughier than the above ones and it made 2 for 80kcal total! :).
3rd batch was made because I got a delivery from lions Pack! Choc Chip cookie dough Muffin mix
And samoa edible cookie dough!!
I made up 2 donuts (using same recipe as I did with the vanilla cupcake Muffin mix above). And topped each donut with 1/2tbsp (7g) of the cookie dough —- both are excellent!!!! And great macros!
And I added it to some protein fluff for my last meal today 💞

|some of digit's text commands
I just recently starting using a tool called Digit in an attempt to set money aside. You link up your checking account and digit analyzes your income and spending to pull aside small amounts of money during the month into a separate account. It's free to use, you can withdraw from the account at any time, you can add extra money to the account, etc. It also has an overdraft guarantee and no fees or minimums. Thinking about spending $5 on coffee? Transfer that $5 instead. Since you don't see the account regularly, you won't be tempted to spend anything and it will all add up. The website interface is clean and easy to use, and the transactions are all completed via text message. I'm really excited about having a separate "fun" savings account outside of our regular savings, which I try to relegate to strictly emergency purchases.

We will be a pro-active group, striving to grow this venue, along with what we now have in place. The facility is a gem and it shows in the amount of visitors that stop there.
To help make it grow we need new ideas and incentives. There is a lot of positive feedback about forming this group. We would like to carry on this legacy and see it grow.
We would like to hear any ideas and concerns. This group can be a sounding board to help make a positive outcome.
There are three workers hired by the Town, a supervisor and two students, for regular cleanup of the beach and facility. They are doing a great job and we do appreciate it.
Residents take great pride in their surroundings, we see them picking up the debris on the beach and we appreciate and admire them for doing this. The workers can't get everything. The young people also respect this venue as seen in the regular spring cleanup and the schools coming out to help, along with the Souris and Area Wildlife Assoc.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has awarded Middle Georgia College $7,500 to host a Big Read project in Bleckley County in April.
According to the NEA, the Big Read is "an initiative…designed to restore reading to the center of American culture" by funding and sponsoring community activities related to a work of literature. MGC was one of 76 not-for-profit organizations selected nationwide to host the Big Read, with over $1 million in grants awarded in 2011.
The Cochran-Bleckley Big Read will focus on award-winning author Tim O'Brien's collection of Vietnam-era stories, The Things They Carried. Events will include a keynote address, public film showings, small-group discussions of the book, the MGC International Festival, a memoir writing workshop, a student writing contest, and more.
Dr. Crystal O'Leary-Davidson, Chair of the Division of Humanities at Middle Georgia College and the grant's author and coordinator, said, "O'Brien's collection is a perfect choice to promote the value of reading. The Things They Carried is not only about the effects of war on the individual but also the power of storytelling as a way to better understand ourselves."
Local organizations partnering with the Middle Georgia College Big Read initiative include Bleckley County High School, The Tessie W. Norris Cochran-Bleckley County Public Library, the Cochran-Bleckley Chamber of Commerce, and the Bleckley Arts Alliance. Events and activities are planned and coordinated by faculty and staff from Middle Georgia College and Bleckley County High School, as well as the Friends of the Library and the Chamber of Commerce.
The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

To Select Your Plastic Surgeon,
Ask the Right Questions.
Best Surgeon - Top Choice Criteria
Choose topic to navigate criteria and learn more:
Find the Plastic Surgeon That's Right for You
Choosing your plastic surgeon is a very important and personal decision.
There are several factors to consider when looking for a plastic surgeon. Here you'll find a list of essential qualities you should look for when choosing a doctor.
Board Certification Is he/she Board Certified? Plastic Surgeon or a "Plastic Surgeon"
Dr. Bermant has seen many complications of doctors calling themselves "plastic surgeons" who had little or no formal training in Plastic Surgery.
Anyone can call themselves a "plastic surgeon." What is the doctor's background? Is the doctor Board Certified in Plastic Surgery or is he/she a General Surgeon, Dentist, Dermatologist, or Ears Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon. Any doctor may be trained in doing some aspects of cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery. Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery takes years of education, broad training, and careful testing of skills. This is a real board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Not all so-called "boards" are so recognized or as difficult to obtain. Several "Cosmetic Boards" take much less training, education, and skill but permit some to claim that "Board Certified" title. Check for yourself the criteria it takes to become Board Certified By the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Be careful of just what your doctor claims to expertise. Dr. Bermant is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Check if your Doctor Board Certified
Is your local doctor even a physician as recognized by your country? Some countries around the world permit poorly trained and untrained doctors to set up an office.
Does your Plastic Surgeon belong to organizations?
What organization(s) does your doctor belong to and what are the requirements to belong. Many are just clubs or groups that have limited requirements to become members. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ASAPS have rigorous standards with training requirements and enforcing ethical practices. Dr. Bermant is a life member of both of these societies and others. Use our resource International Plastic Surgery Societies for help finding surgeons from other countries. Many surgeons from around the world choose to join the US societies too.
Training and Expertise How many of these surgeries has he/she done?
It can be daunting looking at diploma and trying to interpret their meaning. How good was that school at the time of the surgeon's studies is not something easy to quantify. Not all schools are the same. Residency training, what type, was it completed? How hands on was the training. For some, residents do little hands on surgery, and mostly watch. There can also be diplomas from short term courses, but just how much is learned from that limited experience? There are many paths that can lead to the education of a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If the doctor does not have their boards, was the educational component a factor?
When looking at a surgeon's experiences, learn How To Evaluate Before and After Pictures. It is not just numbers of cases and quantity, but also quality. What did the problem look like before, what does the result look like from different directions, how does the tissue move, and what path of bruising and discomfort did that patient take to get there? How many operations did each take to get there? Artists, Sculptors, each have their own skills. You cannot look at one web site and assume another surgeon has the same skill, uses the same method, or that the recovery will be the same.
Dr. Bermant has years of experience, having chosen plastic surgery as his field of endeavor early in medical school. In 1975 he began participating in plastic surgical procedures. His general surgery residency had an intense exposure to plastic surgery. He did a Plastic Surgery Residency and additional Microsurgery training. He spent time in China broadening his exposure and sharing his surgical technology.
Continuing Education
Is the doctor current on the latest surgical techniques? Training after residencies should never stop. Better Plastic Surgery Societies like the ASPS and ASAPS mandate minimum CME hours each year. But how many hours above and beyond does a specific doctor go? Up until his retirement he went well beyond the required hours of continuing educational credit. Dr. Bermant attended multiple courses around the country to keep current in the latest plastic surgery techniques and subscribed to numerous journals in the field. Dr. Bermant was among the pioneers using the Internet to bring plastic surgeons together to share their expertise and help each other with problem solving.
Surgical Sculpture by Plastic Surgeons
Can you see the results obtained by previous patients? Unfortunately, not all surgeons achieve the same results. You need to investigate the skills of the specific surgeon. Dr. Bermant has explored many media as an artist, and he views his surgical sculpting as the highest form of his art. This encyclopedic web site is an example of Dr. Bermant's broad artistic skills as a sculptor. When you do look at previous patients, be sure to ask for multiple views in order to see the surgeon's work from different angles. To learn more about this issue check How to Use Before and After Surgery Pictures and Movies to understand the caliber of a surgeon's results.
Plastic Surgeons Credentials
Is he/she credentialed to perform Plastic Surgery in local hospitals?
Until retirement, Dr. Bermant was accredited to perform plastic surgery at many of the hospitals in the Richmond area.
Plastic Surgery Facility Accreditation
Is the operating room certified?
The Bermant Plastic Surgery Surgery Center was accredited by the AAAASF.
Plastic Surgery Patient Education
How much will you learn at the doctor's office?
Dr. Bermant feels that patient education is important. He personally guided their learning experience in his office, focusing on specific needs and options using computer imaging and extensive printed materials he designed. The Internet changed everything. He put an extraordinary educational experience for his patients to understand the problem, results, and path between. As his practice evolved with further specialization, some of these sections began to dwarf other resources available. The learning experience shifted to the Internet with the in office discussion and examination one of confirmation and reinforcement. Repetition is so important in the learning process. Patients could spend a phenomenal amount of time becoming acquainted with his methods, results, and learning about their problems with the educational tools he built in the Encyclopedia.
Become Comfortable Can you be comfortable with this doctor?
There are hundreds of pages on this site about Dr. Bermant's work, philosophy and attention to detail. Browse around. Many patients have told us this site was a comforting introduction to their education, surgery, and care at Bermant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery. Look beyond advertising hype, what is this doctor really like?
Passion for a Specific Procedure.
Finding a surgeon who can demonstrate specialization skills can be different for each type of surgery. Finding proof of the passion is much better than just a statement. Here are some of our guides in what to look for.

A-la-mi-re Manuscripts (The): Flemish Polyphonic Treasures 8.554744
Oh Flanders Free: Music of the Flemish Renaissance 8.554516
In a two-handed review on MusicWeb by Peter Grahame Woolf and Harry Downey this recording scored four and three stars respectively - review here.
I've nothing but praise for the whole enterprise, apart from the lack of texts and the unnecessary hyphenation of the name Alamire (alias Petrus Imhoff, the collector of the music in the eponymous manuscript) in the title of one of the CDs. Start, perhaps, with one of the Naxos albums—they're less expensive—but lovers of the music of this period should go for the lot.
"Another winner in Naxos' early music catalogue gathers a collection of works celebrating one of the 16th century's great musical craftsmen. As to a final recommendation, it would be silly to pretend that cost is irrelevant: this is excellent value for money."
The Belgian ensemble Capilla Flamenca evokes this vast repertory by drawing from the works often copied (the Dutch song Myn hert, in several versions) or unpublished anonymities like the splendid Salve Regina from the song Myn Hert (No 6). The interpretation is very tempting, the male choir producing coloured and homogeneous timbres. The ensemble Caccia supplements the program, participating in the profane part, with varied though more conventional sonorities.

Tim posts on a talk given by somebody who is seriously trying to convince us that all the oil is running out.
Some people (including Chuq) posted in Tim's comments that this sounds farfetched, and if it weren't for the war and some short-term supply problems driving up the price of gas, this kind of talk wouldn't get much play since it's been on people's minds for many years now. I vividly remember going through the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry during the oil shock of the 1970s and seeing a futuristic electronic countdown of how much oil the world had left. I seem to recall the countdown was at about thirty years or so. It's now thirty years later, so clearly the doomsayers made a boo-boo.
It's easy to freak out about this kind of stuff because people react more to bad news than good news. But I'm more of an Ultimate Resource 2 guy (the idea is that no natural resource will really ever run out as long as the real ultimate resource — the human mind — can figure out ways to synthesize more of the resource, or invent our way around the need for it).
That said, we obviously do need to get off the oil anyway. If stories like this prod us in the direction of pebble-bed reactors cracking hydrogen or big fusion tokamaks churning out the cheap and clean juice so I can run 20 more servers under my desk at home while I whiz to work at 150mph for a total monthly energy charge of $0.85, then I suppose it's just as well.
(This is the second post tonight that I started writing as a comment on someone else's blog, hm, wonder what that means.)

Roasted stuffed scotch fillet of beef
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Cut down halfway into the length of the fillet and stuff the centre with capsicum and anchovies. Push the meat together again and wrap the entire length with bacon.
- Roast the fillet in the oven for 55 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the meat.
- If using a barbecue, preheat it, and turn off one of the burners and cook the meat so it is positioned over the extinguished burner with the hood closed. That way it will cook gently and not flare up or burn.
- Remove the meat from the oven and allow it to rest, covered, for 20 minutes so the juices are re-absorbed.
- Carve into neat slices.

Contacting Corallian CC
For all information regarding the club please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sociable leisure rides for enthusiastic cyclists
For all information regarding the club please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Although a keen cyclist as a teenager it wasn't until 2008 that John discovered his true passion for cycling. This was during the training for an unsupported Land's End to John O'Groats ride to mark his 40th birthday. The LEJOG was completed in 2009 and it was around this time that he also discovered the joy of club and group riding.
An experienced ride leader John has led group rides in many areas, he enjoys creating routes and discovering new places. He still tries to include some cycle touring in his repertoire and has cycled the circumference of Wales in a series of shorter tours.
John is a member of Audax UK and has completed two consecutive RRtYs, he is an audax organiser and is involved in the annual Harlequin Hack and Blowingstone audaxes from Uffington. He rode and completed the 1400km London-Edinburgh-London (LEL) audax in 2017.
Outside of cycling John is an experienced organiser and volunteer, he has been chairman of a local astronomical society for over 10 years and vice-chairman and league secretary of a local table tennis league for 12 years. He is also involved as a volunteer in several other organisations.
When he isn't riding his bike John is a keen runner and ran the London Marathon in 2017, plays league table tennis and is an amateur astronomer. He is an Information Systems developer for the British Geological Survey and lives in South Oxfordshire with his wife and two children.
Despite having wasted much of his 20s and 30s white water kayaking, Chris has since come back to cycling with the passion he had in his teenage years.
His main interest is road cycling and he is very familiar with the areas around Wantage, Newbury and Hungerford and can find some lovely obscure places to visit on club rides. Finding new places to ride is a bit of a thing for Chris though, and he has led many rides off the patch including holidays to the Alps, Provence, Languedoc and the Pyrenees, as well as many other parts of the UK.
Chris has held committee posts for a wide range of volunteer groups including cycling clubs, canoe clubs and industry professional groups, where he combines his knowledge of IT and project management, and his ability to initiate change and get stuff done.
Corallian Cycling Club is where it all comes together for Chris, and his enthusiasm for getting the club up and running to be a vibrant and buzzing group is sometimes scary!
Other interests include photography, skiing and playing the guitar, and supporting his family's continuing obsession with kayaking.
A late convert to cycling Richard took up cycling to support his son who thought it would be fun to ride with a local cycling club. It was a bit of a shock to the body to start riding at 50+!
At first he found it a struggle to keep up with the groups but after a few rides his fitness improved and he was able to stay with the beginner rides. Over the years he has progressed to harder and longer rides. In 2013 he completed a 24 hour 200 mile ride around the boundary of Oxfordshire.
Richard has managed an under 11 football team, been a helper with the cubs and the Air Training Corps. He is an estate manager with a large construction company.

I really like the direction that the brand is going in and I'm enjoying being a part of it. They have managed to get some really great imagery with this style featuring in it. Also there is a pic of me and my daughter snuck in there too.

One of the fastest players in baseball almost single-handedly pushed the Indians past the Orioles and Rangers for what would be the final Wild Card spot if the playoffs started today. Michael Bourn acted like he was playing Little League, simply running around the bases throughout the night to give the Indians a 4-3 win over the Miami team that defeated them 10-0 Friday.
Bourn helped the Indians get over the blanking they took from Jose Fernandez, which had left the Indians a half game behind Texas and Baltimore. Bourn singled in the first, stole second, moved to third on a grounder and ran home on a fly ball.
In the third inning, he beat out an infield single, stole second again, then raced to third on a wild pitch and came all the way home on a bad throw by the catcher to make it 2-0.
The Indians sent up speedy pinch hitter Drew Stubbs (13 stolen bases himself this year) to hit in front of Bourn in the seventh, and the strategy paid off as another pinch hitter would have likely slowed Bourn down and cost the Indians the game. Stubbs reached second base and one out in the seventh, which may have made the Mariners more comfortable walking Bourn due to second base being occupied.
Instead, Bourn simply stole second again as Stubbs successfully stole third in front of him. Bourn then raced home behind Stubbs on a single by Jason Kipnis.
Chris Perez held on the ninth after allowing one run to cut the Indians lead to 4-3, and allowing runners to get to second and third with one out before getting the two final outs.

The La Crosse Area YMCA and the county are collaborating once again to help families in need during the holidays.
La Crosse County's Adopt-A-Family Program allows YMCA employees and members to purchase gifts and items for selected families in the community. Items such as clothing, cleaning supplies, tools, toys and gift cards are all accepted and will be delivered to area families in December.
"We know that there are families who are struggling financially and that's why our Y identifies those families," Jennie Melde, a leader on the project, said. "We work with the social workers at La Crosse County and we want to give back to them as much as we can."
The YMCA will have a Christmas tree in the lobby where members can pick up gift tags with specific items to purchase for a family in need. Items are due back to the Y on December 8th wrapped and with the tag attached.

There used to be a day when you could classify the type of vehicle you were driving or looking to purchase.
Most drivers drove sedans — they had four doors, a trunk and were very practical family cars. Some drove station wagons, some with even three rows of seats. Pickup trucks were popular and then there were those that drove a Van.
Either you used the van for business or perhaps you were the type that converted it to a mobile living quarters, complete with shag carpeting and mood lighting.
Those days are long gone (gladly in some cases). Today, the lines are very blurry when classifying vehicles. Some are still thankfully clear.
Pickup trucks still have a box behind the cab although the selection of cab styles is numerous, and most sports coupes have a sleek sloping roofline and two doors (but not all).
Crossovers can describe almost any type of vehicle, and when it comes to sedans, some have four doors and some have five. A great example of blurring the lines is Mercedes-Benz GLC.
Check out the Mercedes-Benz website or stop by a dealership and you will find two GLC models. One model it what we would typically call a SUV or sport utility vehicle, with four doors, a large rear cargo area open to the passenger compartment and a rear lift gate for loading those bulky items. The GLC can also be selected as an SUV Coupe.
The GLC SUV Coupe is a combination of SUV and Sports Coupe. It has a sleek roofline that curves over the top of the vehicle and down toward the rear like you would expect in a coupe. It also has four doors, like a sedan and a rear hatch, so some would perhaps call it a hatchback, but with the AMG package, the 4.3-litre bi-turbo V6 and all wheel drive, this GLC not only looks like a sports coupe but handles and accelerates (0-100 KPH in just 4.9 seconds) like one too.
Mercedes isn't the only company to blur the lines. BMW's X6 is a larger SUV but with the roofline of a coupe. In BMW's own advertising, the "X6 combines the solid stance of an X model with the sportiness of a coupe."
With four doors and a rear hatch, this doesn't meet the real definition of a coupe but certainly has the looks of one.
The station wagon designation has long been discarded but there are a couple manufacturers still making this practical vehicle simply called a Wagon.
Volvo has a few wagon models and others such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi have a couple versions, but many manufacturers have replaced the station wagon with hatchback models which are really modern versions of the venerable station wagon.
Some hatchbacks are compact cars and prove to be economical to purchase and maintain. Other hatchbacks would fall more into the catch all crossover designation, commonly equipped with all wheel drive, more ground clearance, a taller body design and seating for at least five people and in some cases a third row seat that will accommodate seven or eight passengers.
Crossovers typically use uni-body construction rather than a full frame construction often found in SUVs (sport utility vehicles). Uni-body construction utilizes welded box sections of stamped sheet metal to provide strength for the body, and those box sections are an integral part of the body structure.
A full frame vehicle has a heavy metal frame that provides mounts for the powertrain and suspension, while the body structure is bolted onto the frame.
Uni-body structures can be as strong or stronger than full-frame vehicles and are usually lighter so they provide better fuel economy and performance, but full-frame vehicles are easier to configure for different body styles, sizes and options, such as you would find on trucks.
If you find all this terminology confusing, you are not alone, but don't let that bother you. When shopping for a vehicle, all you really need to know is what you need it to do for you. How many passengers will you carry? Will you be towing a trailer? Do you need cargo space for those garage sale finds? Do you value handling and performance over passenger space? Is fuel economy your primary goal or do you prefer more power or luxury?
Answer the questions about what you need and do with a vehicle and then look for one that fills these needs. What they call it doesn't really matter.

I've seen this one in a few places purporting to be from the Buddha. It's definitely not something the Buddha said. Mostly this is attributed to Osho/Rajneesh, and that's correct
It's usually included as part of this longer quotation:
Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you'll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You'll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival, because when you are unhappy, you also throw unhappiness all around.
The actual source is his book, "The Voice of Silence," and there it's a little different:
I say to you that suffering is not holding onto you, you are holding onto suffering. And if you can agree to look into what I am saying, you will come to understand it for yourself. Not only will you come to understand it, but you will experience a letting go – and you will come to know how suffering can be dropped. And when you become good at the art of letting go of suffering, then one day you will realize that you were dragging it around with you – and no one except you was responsible for this. Whatever suffering you experienced, nobody else was to blame. It was your wish, you wanted to suffer.
The Buddha of course had a lot to say about suffering, since his Dhamma (teaching) was aimed at liberating us from suffering. For example, he said:
Now this, monks, is the Noble Truth of dukkha (suffering): Birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, & despair are dukkha; association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are dukkha.

In the early morning hours of April 13, a 19-year-old college student was hit and killed by a car as he was crossing a street. The car then fled the scene, but police found the alleged driver sometime later. The Maryland woman now faces charges in what police are considering the DUI-related death of the man.
It is not known what led police to the woman taken into custody. However, authorities found the woman and her vehicle in time to make the determination that she was impaired at the time of the crash. At this point, the driver believed to be responsible for the student's death faces charges of hit-and-run and driving under the influence. Even so, after prosecutors review the case, additional charges could be filed against the driver.
As for the victim, he initially survived the accident and was taken to an area hospital. However, he died the next day due to the injuries he had suffered. Police report that he did not cross in the crosswalk that was close to where he was found. Authorities took the opportunity to remind pedestrians to be careful when crossing roads at night and to use crosswalks.
Maryland prosecutors will have to account for how police determined that the woman was involved in this DUI-related death. Even if the vehicle she was found with or owns had sustained damage likely to occur in an accident with a pedestrian, it is the state's responsibility to put her behind the wheel of the car at the time of the accident. The current charges against her and any others that may be filed come with serious consequences, and prosecutors must convince the court beyond a reasonable doubt that the woman taken into custody actually committed all of them.

Temperature Shock
Temperature shock tests are conducted to determine if the hardware can withstand sudden changes in the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere without experiencing physical damage or deterioration in performance.
As a result of exposure to sudden temperature changes, operation of the test item may be affected either temporarily or permanently. Examples of problems that could occur as a result of exposure to sudden changes in temperature are:
- Shattering of glass
- Binding or slackening of moving parts
- Separation of constituents
- Stiffening of shock mounts
- Changes in electronic components
- Electronic or mechanical failures due to rapid water or frost formation
- Differential contraction or expansion of dissimilar hardware
- Deformation or fracture of components
- Cracking of surface coatings
- Leaking of sealed compartments
Trimble Kenai®, Yuma® 2, Nomad® 1050, Juno® T41 and Ranger™ 3 passed the following test:
- Procedure I: temperature shock tested using two thermal chambers set at -30 °C and 60 °C (-22 °F and +144 °F), with a four-hour minimum soak and a five-minute maximum transfer time between chambers. A total of four cycles are conducted through both chambers.

Well its the end of a very sad and hard week. Its been a steep learning curve and its the animals that have suffered. But the vet was really nice and made me feel better. So now armed with my new information I feel that at least in the future my animals will fare better.
This weekend is the queens birthday long weekend and a busyone for us. We are going to dinner for a friends bithday on saturday and we normally go out on a sunday night with another couple for our once a week therapy session and bitch about teenage kids.
Our kids are really good but things like not ringing when they will be late, staying up all night and sleeping all day, and messy rooms. Not bad compared to all the things they could be doing but still its good to get it all off our chests.
so enjoy your long weekend everyone
see ya

October 31, 1951 was the first large rollout of zebra pedestrian crosswalks in London, England.
Starting in 1949, the Transport Research Laboratory in Great Britain tested a number of designs at 1,000 locations. But, it was the broad white stripes on the dark background of the road that people and cars could see the most readily.
A Member of Parliament visited the laboratory, remarked on how the pattern looked like a zebra, and the name, zebra crossing, stuck.
In the first year, deaths of pedestrians at intersections dropped by 11 percent.
The zebra crossing has replaced the simple lines bordering a crosswalk in many countries because it is easier for drivers to see at a greater distance and pedestrians stand out more against the stripes in the crosswalk.
Counterintuitively, if you walk in the crosswalk closer to traffic, drivers can see you better against the stripes as they approach the intersection.
New Zealand's research suggested that the zebra stripes alone actually increased pedestrian accidents, but, when combined with low speed bumps, cut accidents by 80%!
Similarly, a five-year U.S. study found no significant difference between marked and unmarked pedestrian crossings unless combined with other safety features, like walk/no walk signs.
State laws vary, but in Virginia, where I live, cars are required to stop if a pedestrian enters a crosswalk, and even have the right-of-way when vehicles are turning into an intersection.
But, traffic accidents are a matter of miscommunication about who has the right-of-way, or simply, inattention.
Even Virginia's statute about pedestrian crossings says "No pedestrian shall enter or cross an intersecton in disregard of approaching traffic."
I would never advise a grandchild, even in a state where it's the law, to cross a street at a crosswalk and assume cars are going to stop, even if you have the light.
And, I was a crossing guard in elementary school. How about you?

Major Research Interests
The group is currently studying different aspects of the lipid metabolism of plants, algae, mosses and fungi. In this context we are primarily interested in the metabolism of structural lipids and lipid-derived signal transduction processes. For this purpose, we make use of both classical techniques as analytical chemistry and biochemistry as well as of modern approaches in the area of molecular genetics, including the generation of transgenic organisms ("gain-of-function") or mutants ("loss-of-function").
Biochemistry and function of oxylipin metabolism:
We are interested in physiological functions of lipid peroxidation processes. Thus we analyze the function of specific lipoxygenases, i.e. the role of their products, so-called oxylipins (oxygenated fatty acid derivatives), as signals or defence substances during biotic and abiotic stress. Lipid peroxidation reactions are analysed in general by metabolomic approaches and more specifically by studying the biosynthesis of aldehydes (fruit aromas) and hydroxy fatty acids and (plant defence). Other studies deal with the role of oxylipins in plants, mossesand algae. In addition the catalytic mechanism of lipoxygenases and related dioxygenases is analysed.
Biochemistry of the biosynthesis of structural lipids:
Even in plants a huge number of different fatty acids are found. We are interested in enzymes which introduce new functionalities (i.e. double bonds at unusual positions or conjugated double bonds) in the fatty acid backbone in order to obtain new seed oils for biotechnological, nutritional and medical purposes. Moreover we study the biochemical pathways or networks that led to an increase in the seed oil content of oilseed crop plants and oleogenous algae. Two other projects deal with the biochemistry and function of sphingolipids in plants and fungi as well as with wax ester forming enzymes. In addition we aim to identify chemical signals by metabolomics approaches that are exchanged during the infection between Verticillium longisporum and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Subscribe to this site by entering your email address in the thing on the right side of this page. Then click the big orange SUBMIT button. We will not give away or sell your email address. It will toss a poem in your inbox on Tuesdays through Saturday. Or, whip over to Facebook, if you're into that kind of thing, and join this group. Being connected to us this way is a courtesy to the publishers but we have no poetry police force to make sure you're subscribed.
Here's what we look for in one-sentence poems.
- It must truly be a sentence.
- Start with an uppercase letter.
- End with a terminal punctuation mark. But don't die.
- Semicolons are discouraged, especially when used to merge what should be multiple sentences into one long sentence.
- Format: There must be at least one line break. Some indents ok, but we can't handle highly scattered formats. We prefer left-justified.)
- The sentence must be grammatically correct (subject + verb), with generally conventional punctuation.
- Please submit your introductory note, your poem or poems, and a 3rd person bio. Your bio, in keeping with the spirit of the journal, should consist of a single, relatively short sentence.
We publish a poem on this website a few weeks after it is accepted. Our schedule is typically Tuesdays through Saturday. On Sundays and Mondays we just sit around. When we get too much of a lag between acceptance and publication, we start working Mondays for awhile. We send out a tweet (on our Twitter account) when we publish a poem We also will post a link to new poems on the facebook page we share with Right Hand Pointing and White Knuckle Press.
We use the Submittable account associated with our sister site (mother site?) Right Hand Pointing. Choose the One Sentence Poems category. Here's the link.

Some of the greatest shows ever developed were spin-offs of other shows. Some are better than their predecessors.
Boruto is a spin-off of Naruto currently in development. I'm not up on a lot of S/Rs in development. Brotherhood was an S/R of FMA. I got to thinking: I'd like to see a Reboot of Naruto. One that is more true to the word ninja they constantly throw around. They can keep the chakra and the tailed beasts, but the story should take place at night, in shadow, and all characters should wear dark clothes. Characters shouldn't be so chipper and enthusiastic. Maybe it should center around Sasuke. Yeah. A Naruto reboot called Sasuke.
The One-Punch Man anime is pretty much a reboot. It's not actually a parody like the source material. Sure, Saitama's abilties are exaggerated, but most of the story for what little plot exists is believable and hardly sensationalized. Seth McFarlane's work are parodies. Robot Chicken is parody. It's meant to be so ridiculous you can't help laughing. I burst out laughing at the few episodes I've seen of Angie Tribeca. That's a parody. But I didn't laugh at anything going on in OPM. I just thought it was awesome. Granted I haven't read the manga, but I have to assume a lot was changed in transitioning to anime. That's why I say it is a reboot.
That said, I would also like to see Spin-Off/Reboots of Final Fantasy Unlimited and Chrono Crusade. But my all time must for any list would be for the Wild Arms anime.
Anyone else? Anybody? Bueller?

Here are my observations from our brief opportunity (20 minutes) to view Michigan football practice.
Brady Hoke is definitely a hands-on coach. He spent time running drills and working with defensive lineman on techniques and was quick with instruction, criticism, and occasional praise.
He also spent time working with lineman to refine blocking technique during punting. During spring practice, I asked special teams coordinator Dan Ferrigno how he would motivate players to players to do the many thankless jobs critical to successful special teams play. He said that with a head coach like Brady who understood how important these aspects of the game are that wouldn't be a problem. Seeing Hoke instructing the finer points of blocking for the interior lineman on the punt team reinforced this.
It is my belief that special teams play is a critical barometer of the overall spirit of a team. Problems on offense or defense get more publicity but motivating players to block on on extra points or sacrifice their bodies to break up the blocking on a kick return is a special challenge. Last year Michigan special teams under the previous staff were a comedy (more like a tragedy) of errors. Every game seemed to bring a new failure. I'm looking forward to improved special teams play during the Hoke regime.
Denard Robinson both Devin Gardner threw the ball well. They ran a drill where they practiced 30 yard "touch" passes down the field. It was clear Offensive Coordinator /QB Coach Al Borges is putting special emphasis on footwork and technique with all the quarterbacks- the kinds of the things that need to happen on EVERY play no matter where the ball ends up.
Some have questioned Denard's ability to deliver the ball down field. Watching him in practice the last several years, I have no doubt he throws ball fine. He might not have the booming cannon of an arm that former Wolverine Ryan Mallett has but he can deliver the ball with good accuracy and velocity. The larger question is Denard knowing when and where to deliver the ball- this is what will determine how successful the offense will be this year. With questions at running back and no clear cut go-to receiver Denard's ability to check down and find the outlet receiver will be critical in the early going.
The size of the offensive line is amazing. When Denard lines up under center he practically disappears behind his blockers.
Our time at practice was interrupted by Coach Hoke summoning thunder and lightning from the skies as a show of power to the gathered media. The team didn't miss a beat re-deploying to the amazing practice facility.
On the way out I noticed this sign hanging outside the Michigan locker room. It's the first thing they see on the way to the practice fields.
I look forward to this sign being reset to a much lower number very soon.

Open & Closed spaces is an exhibition of original prints by the north London based Printmakers Inc. group who work in a variety of media.
PRINTMAKERS INC. OPEN & CLOSED SPACES an exhibition of Original Prints and their processes
"Open & Closed Spaces" refers to the breadth of the locality - the area of almost rural calm within a city - which is the view from Highgate so enjoyed by Coleridge. The title also refers to the surfaces in printmaking of the plate or matrix when bitten, scraped, burnished, painted, inked or wiped.
Printmakers Inc. was formed in 2010 with a pop-up shop in Woburn Place, supported by Camden Council. Since then this group has expanded and shown in a number of Affordable Art Fairs in Hampstead.
The group works in a variety of printmaking media including: etching, drypoint, mono print, collagraphy, solar plate, photo/transfer etching and screenprint.
The group will exhibit their work, and their ways of practice, to create a lively and engaging show in the Gallery at HLSI.
