The Sonos Play:5 shows just how far Sonos has come. Back in 2004, Sonos appeared with a multi-zone music system that anyone could buy and set up in minutes. It was perfectly pitched, stylistically and technologically – a premium-feeling proposition that we described as being 'as close to hi-fi as wi-fi gets'.
Sonos has slowly but surely evolved the range, making the individual ZonePlayers more compact, adding music services and introducing a touchscreen controller, iPhone App and most recently the Playbar soundbar and £169 Play:1.
MORE: Sonos Play:1 review
Scalability has always been key, with users able to add extra zones at will. Perhaps the one problem with this was that the cheapest and simplest way to add a complete zone was to buy the amplified ZP120 for £399, and add a pair of affordable speakers, like the £120 Q Acoustics 2010s.
Although this partnership results in great sound, some would see it as excessively pricey and large for a bedroom, kitchen or study.
MORE: New Play:5 (2015) review
That's where the Play:5 comes in. This all-in-one box functions in the same way as the ZP120 and ZP90, but has five digital amps, each powering an individual, built-in driver.
That's right, this stylish unit contains two tweeters, two midrange drivers, and a single subwoofer. In unison they sound superb for a product of this type.
Wirelessly fed a Lossless rip of Mumford and Sons' The Cave, the S5 responds with a delivery far bigger than any room it's likely to be placed in. Vocals are focused, but the overall soundstage is wide, deep and three-dimensional.
Sound quality
Dynamics and rhythm are equally impressive, with the dramatic second verse kicking in with real scale and drive. The banjo is twinkly and detailed, vocals are full-bodied, while the track is underpinned by deep bass.
Like other ZonePlayers, the Play:5 can access internet radio, Last.fm and Napster. And there's a 3.5mm input and headphone socket.
It's worth remembering that Sonos's wireless mesh technology results in fine wireless range and impressive robustness and speed.
This means there's no drop-out when playing different content in different zones, and total synchronisation when playing the same track in all zones at once.
The Play:5 is the perfect way to begin or extend your Sonos system.

BALTIMORE – School records continued to fall as the UMBC track and field team took to the track at Morgan State and Princeton this weekend. Freshman Mercedes Jackson (Huntington, Md./Huntington) and juniorChowan Brightful (New Market, Md./Linganore) each broke her own record, in the 100m dash and high jump respectively, while Jackson combined with classmates Ebonique Jones (New Castle, Del./William Penn), Briana Young (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) and Whitney Ikpeze(Upper Marlboro, Md./Bladensburg) to set a new standard in the 4x100m relay.
Jackson has come accustomed to breaking records in her first collegiate season, already owning four school records, two indoor and two outdoor, heading into the day. At Morgan State, the freshman set a new mark in the qualifiers for the 100m dash with a 11.78 before smashing that mark by running an 11.66 in the meet finals to pick up a silver medal. In the 4x100 Jackson along with her teammates broke the mark set previously this year by running a 46.47.
In addition, the team of freshmen Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara), Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel) and sophomores Deborah Adelola (Lanham, Md./Bladensburg) Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K Magnet) set a new season-best in the 4x400 with a time of 3:47.22.
Senior Roy Jones (New Market, Md./Linganore) won the 3000m steeplechase completing the course with in a time of 9:35.00.
In the field events, Brightful led a group of athletes who broke personal-bests at the meet in Baltimore. Her leap of 1.7m (5'7") in the high jump surpasses her previous height of 1.66m (5'5.25") set during her freshman year in 2010.
Ebonique Jones also set a new personal-best in the long jump, climbing to third on the all-time list with a leap of 5.61m (18' 5").
For the men, senior Aaron Brooks (Upper Marlboro, Md./DeMatha) took top honors in the discus, jumping to second all-time in the school record book with a distance of 50.54m (165'10"). Teammate Nnamdi Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) took fourth in the event with a toss of 43.76m (143'7") to move on to the UMBC list at eighth place.
In the hammer throw, junior Cameron McDearmon (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin) and sophomore Chris Nash (Parkton, Md./Hereford) took second and fourth, respectively. Nash's throw of 49.14m (161'3") pushes him to seventh on UMBC's all-time list.
At the meet in New Jersey, sophomore Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) lowered her personal-best in the 800m with a time of 2:14.26 and remains fourth all time.
In the 3000m steeplechase, sophomore Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) set a personal record, stays in third all-time and qualifies for the IC4A meet by completing the track in 9:12.43.
The UMBC track and field team now prepares to head to Philadelphia for the historic Penn Relays meet which starts on Thursday and continues through Saturday. The meet will be held at Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.

Green ... Grass ... Dot ...
This summer the stone modernist edifice that is the Winnipeg Art Gallery is going to literally come to life. Winnipeg artist Ewa Tarsia will interact with the formal building, treating aspects of its exterior and public interior spaces as supports for living plant-life.
Nature and art are integral to Tarsia's life. Frightened by visions of cities paved with ashphalt and carpeted with chemically-fed grass, she finds refuge, inspiration, and courage among the living plants of her garden. There she splashes grasses and mosses, compost and soil, sunlight and water on nature's canvas and creates living works of art that bring hope to urban landscapes. Her art of/in gardening is not, however, just about urban aesthetics; above all, it is about our responsibility to preserve and protect our natural environment. Her advocacy of ecological living animates and connects her installations and paintings like a green line connecting the dots.
The WAG exhibition of her garden works, prepared in collaboration with 5468796 Architecture, takes various forms and locations, all reflecting on our relationship with the natural world. Among these are Grass Dots which invigorate static stone clad spaces with living shapes and colours; Synthetic Trees recycle refuse into an arborial extravaganza. Terrariums sustain enclaves of vibrant life, perched and suspended in the rooftop pool.
Tarsia's encompassing installation will develop and expand with the summer growing season, creating a lush respite and natural spectacle in Winnipeg's downtown.

Maybe Reed's playing RF today?
Unless, of course, Gibbons has screwed up the lineup card once again….
interesting to see three lefties against a left hander today. Gibby usually doesn't do that.
I think Reed would be playing Right today hem.gold if it is Gibby who screwed that up then he should canned tonight.
Gibby has gotta go, pay peanuts you get monkeys, just watching them make a total *** of themselves again after having a shot at winning this game, I really don t think the players have any respect for abner & just won t play for him
They had multiple shots to win this game. You are right, the players do not respect Abner. How can you blame them when he can't even fill out a lineup card properly.
Today that first run off of MArcum should not have been a run-Marcum didn't hit the guy. Abner should have been out there arguing the call-but unfortuately he was snoozing at the time.
Just imagine-this is what we get next year as well.
Pathetic really.
Ok, I didn't watch the game, so I don't understand your comments:
Was there something wrong with the line-up card again?
It was just a typo on the blog and I was just kidding around.
Sorry for the confusion.
How do you get up for a game that has no meaning especially after you have found out that ABNER is going to be your manager next year,you don't.
When the Jays lost the lead my 8 year old grandson shut the TV off how sad is that.
Yanks and Boston close game,Chamberlin for the yanks is wicked.
Do any of you people know when MLB releases its schedule for '08? I know it's early, but i'd like to snatch up a flex pack for next season as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
If you contact the Jays ticket office, they'll take down your contact information and contact you as soon as the flex packs are released.
I guess we shouldn't feel so bad about the Yanks taking two of three from us-they did the same thing to the sox
Wow, two lineup miscues for me yesterday! Yes, Reed was playing right field, which I switched, and the Jays were taking on righty Victor Santos — not Birkins for the second day in a row. Maybe I should be canned!
Your mistakes do not cost wins, Abner's does.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't fire the guy simply because he made two lineup mistakes that embarrased himself and the team. I'd fire him because he doesn't handle the team well, and I think he's lost the respect of the players.
Abner seems to be asleep most games relaxing sitting back on the bench. Watch Mike Scirossa, Joe Torre or Terry Francona tonight and then watch Abner and you'll see what I mean.
A perfect case in point, in yesterday's game-Marcum did not hit the guy in the first inning, he missed him by 3 inches-did you see Gibby run out and argue the play-nope he just kept right on dosing. Would he have changed the call-no-but the next close call would likely have gone the Jays way, which is the reason all these guys argue the first one.
thanks for the info sumner

This was one of my favorite desserts growing up. I know, I had a lot of favorites. 😉 A girl can't help her sweet tooth!! I found that this was extremely easy to convert to gluten-free. Really, the crust was all I had to change.
Pistachio Cheesecake
1 stick butter
1 ¼ cups flour (I used Pamela's GF Baking Mix)
½ cup chopped pecans
8 oz. Cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz. Carton of Cool Whip
2 small pkg. Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix
3 cups milk
- Making the Crust:
Blend melted stick of butter, 1 ¼ cups of flour & pecans. Spread in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. ***Note…Kelly recommends doubling the recipe for the crust b/c it is too thin otherwise. I used an 8 x 11 pan and didn't double. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 or until light golden brown. COOL COMPLETELY!
- Making the Cheesecake Filling:
Mix 8 oz. Softened cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar. Then fold in
½ carton of Cool Whip. Spread on top of cooled crust. Refrigerate for 30
- Topping:
Mix 2 small packages of pudding mix with 3 cups of milk. Beat for 2
2 minutes. Pour on top of cooled filling. Chill until set & then top with
remaining Cool Whip.
I served this at our Mother's Day function & it got rave reviews, even from those who don't have to eat GF. I absolutely love this stuff. If you want, you could even experiment with other flavors of pudding such as, chocolate, lemon, coconut…..the list is endless!

"Viy" was a movie produced in Russia in 1967. It is actually one of two films (so far) based on the Story "Viy" by Nicolai Gogol. The second film based on the story is "Le Masque Du Demon" (1960), staring Barbara Steele, which is definitely a vampire movie.
The Russian film is a visual treat, especially given when it was made. Three seminarians are travelling and ask for shelter in a farmhouse, their request is answered by an old woman. They are split up and, in the night, Khoma Brutus (Leonid Kuravlyov) has a yoke placed around his neck and is "hagridden" . He manages to kill the witch, who becomes a beautiful young girl, and returns to the monastery. He is then summoned to the abbot, as he has been requested by a prominent citizen to attend his dying daughter.
On, reluctantly, arriving at the citizen's home Khoma discovers that the daughter has died and is told to sit vigil over her coffin for three nights praying. He, however, has recognised her as the witch become young.
Unable to leave he sits vigil. On the first night he begins to talk to the corpse when a tear comes from her eye, as it runs down her cheek it turns to blood. He begins to light candles but they are blown out, so he tries again successfully having blessed the candles. Then, as he prays, and takes snuff, the corpse awakens. The girl herself is physically a pure gothic picture of the vampire, but her movements are jerky and she gropes blindly towards him. The seminarian draws a sacred circle around himself in chalk; she cannot cross the circle and traces its edge angrily. Day breaks and she is pulled back to her coffin and the lid slams shut.
The next night he draws the circle as soon as he enters the church. After a while the coffin begins to levitate and ram into the circle's invisible wall. The lid flies off and the girl sits up, and then stands, as the coffin flies and she calls out his name. The cock crows and the coffin returns to its place of rest, as it does the girl curses Khoma and his hair turns white as per the curse.
Again, on the third night, he draws the circle. The girl awakens and begins to curse Khorma immediately. Hands of greying flesh appear, and a skeleton walks followed by many forms of monsters and demons. She summons forth vampires and werewolves and then she summons Viy, the king of the underworld. A cock crows and Khoma makes the mistake of looking Viy in the eyes, allowing Viy to see him and rendering his circle useless. The minions of Hell descend on the seminarian. As the second cock crow sounds they abandon him, dead upon the floor, as the girl is pulled back to her coffin and transforms back into the witch.
At first glance this does not look very vampiric, but – though I have not read it myself – I have it on good authority that the Gogol story is about a vampire witch and that, other than this, the film is fairly faithful to the story.
The film ties in with Romanian Mythology. The strigoï are the evil souls of the dead that rise to torment the living, and are one of the bases of the modern vampire myth. There are two forms, the strigoï mort is a dead, or should I say undead, vampire. However the strigoï vii is a living vampiric witch. The strigoï vii will invade the dreams of children and ride them through their nightmares, this is commonly known as being hagridden and is a form of psychic vampirism. On death, the strigoï vii will become the strigoï mort.
The film "Viy" does contain summoned vampires, but it is not clear that the girl/witch is this strigoï vii become strigoï mort. However it does contain many elements which are vampiric in nature. I have listed the DVD in my vampire collection (though it is not an obvious genre movie and many may disagree with its inclusion) and think it a beautiful and extraordinary piece of cinema.
The imdb page is here.

I just read today's review of Viy, in your "Interesting Shorts" review, which lead me to the review of this movie.
I am keen to see this, as I have seen and own BLACK SUNDAY and would love to see another version, and this one looks fascinating.
Where did you order it from?
- Taliesin_ttlg said...
Gabe, I think it is out of print region 1 but still available region 2 - I have no idea re OZ, but Amazon UK would be a good place to start hunting.
Note - the black sunday story has little to do with the other versions, just had to throw that caveat in.
- The Dirge Of Gabriel said...
Yes I read in your reviews that BLACK SUNDAY is just partially based on this story.
Will look for it on Amazon UK etc.
- House of Karnstein said...
I'd like to recommend, if I may, to any fan out there of VIY or Gogol's original story, to seek out asap the Slavic '92 sleeper gem of a film SVETO MESTO. Much more of a serious disturbing take on the story and a bit of a lost gothic classic, imo. Don't get me wrong, I love VIY and VIY features better special effects and wonderful colours, but SVETO MESTO is more atmospheric, disturbing and creepy, strictly made for adults only, where VIY can be enjoyed by both adults and kids. I'd like to also add that while SVETO MESTO was made in '92, you'd never know it. One would think it from the latter 70's/early 80's. It has that type of excellent (personally prefered) ambience and is one of my fave discoveries (Vamp or not?)of the last several years. Have fun! : )
- Taliesin_ttlg said...
HofK, yes, i have Sveto Mesto but no subtitles - hence it not appearing on the site (If I can't understand it I don't tend to put it up).
Beautiful looking film, however.
- House of Karnstein said...
Taliesin- there is now a Sveto Mesto floating around out there with eng subs, and while we're in Slavic land for a moment let me also mention Leptirica ('73 tv)is out there with eng subs. If you haven't seen it yet, Leptirica is
a must-see and is by the same director as Sveto Mesto. Leptirica is most definitely a vampire movie with a touch of Lycanthropy thrown in. This rare tv-movie is nothing short of fascinating. For the last year I've been searching out a lot of these lost rare Slavic horror films and have been mightily impressed. My most recent Slavic viewing was the Polish film Wilczyca aka She-Wolf, which would fall into the "Vamp or Not" category but definitely has moments of vampiness.
- Taliesin_ttlg said...
I shall keep my eyes open for that. I did find the Leptricia subs but they were terribly out of sync for the edition I have.
talking of such things, one of my pending reviews is for the strigoi episode of Wiedźmin - the Polish TV series of The Witcher
- Margaret said...
Thanks for another great review!
I had a hard time tracking this one down, but since you rated it so highly I decided it would be worth the extra effort. I finally tracked a copy down on amazon. Well worth it!
This was a great folktale of a film. I particularly found the raucous attitudes of the clergy and the Cossacks to be entertaining. It was a nice juxtaposition to the more fantastical horror elements of the film and really added to the folktale feel of the story.
I also really appreciate you including details about the strigoi and the mythology the story is based on in your review. I have to admit that not knowing anything about it before watching it, I was kind of surprised it was included as a vampire film as the film really doesn't draw a clear distinction on this, but understanding the mythology makes the justification much more clear.
Thanks for writing such an interesting review to this terrific film!

Margaret, if you look at the article I did re the original story you'll see that Gogol was a little more explicit and had a blood drinking scene (when she was still alive).
This is a mix and match as the actual mythology is Romanian but the story is Ukranian - but the similarities were striking.
On the actual film, I am so glad I have introduced someone to this marvelous film - as it is wonderful. I am also really glad you enjoyed it.
- Margaret said...
Ok, you've convinced me. I am going to have to read the Gogol story now. It just sounds too interesting to pass up.
- LoBo said...
Since i like Black Sunday, i will probably enjoy this film. I bought the Swedish DVD. I hope at least i like it as much as Black Sunday. We'll see.
- Taliesin_ttlg said...
It is a very different film (actually quite story accurate to the original short, whereas Black Sunday bears little resemblance to it) but I do hope you enjoy it... one of my favourite films
- LoBo said...
I just saw it. Sadly, i must say i was not very impressed. I don't think it was scary and not much Horror content.
I liked Black Sunday much better. At least i have now watched it.
- Taliesin_ttlg said...
Lobo, each to their own... if we all liked the same thing it woyuld be boring.
To me this and Black Sunday are very different films - despite the same alleged source. This is recognosably Gogol's story, Black Sunday isn't (but is a fantastic film by one of the great directors).

Looking to give this a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

No worries - it is magical

Presented by
Games of Nov. 13-14, 2010
QB T.C. Campbell, Fr., Pacific
Campbell finished out Pacific's return season in style, setting a school record with his 406 yards and tying one with five touchdowns in a loss to Menlo. He was 25-for-35 passing in Pacific's most competitive game of the season.
OL Mike Micca, Phil Bokovitz, Adam
Miller, Bob Schmitz, Devin Martin, John
The line was key in pounding out 306 yards on the ground against a Baldwin-Wallace team that had yielded just 92.7 yards per contest through the first nine games -- second best in the OAC and 24th in Division III. They allowed just one sack compared to the Yellow Jackets' 4.11-sacks average, No. 5 in D-III. JCU running back DaQuan Grobsmith rushed for a career-high 187 yards in a 31-28 win.
RB Justin Autera, So., Cortland
Autera rushed for a career-high 232 yards (6.3 per carry) and scored twice as Cortland rallied from a 17-3 third-quarter deficit to defeat Ithaca, 20-17, in the annual Cortaca Jug game. Autera's 232 rushing yards are the most ever by a player from either team in a Cortland-Ithaca game.
RB Blaine Miller, Jr., Grove
Miller ran for a career-high 225 yards in Grove City's 35-21 win over Thiel in the 27th Mercer County Cup game. His 58-yard touchdown run with 3:11 left sealed the Wolverines' fourth consecutive Cup series win. Miller's work helped Grove City pile up a season-high 369 rushing yards.
RB Chris Coney, Sr.,
In his final game for Union, Coney became only the second Dutchman to record 4,000 career rushing yards, finishing with 4,091. At Springfield, Coney had 192 yards on 31 carries with touchdown runs of 4 and 52 yards. It was his 19th career 100 yard rushing game and sixth in eight games this year.
WR Zack Homyk, Sr., Case Western
Homyk tied a career-high with 13 receptions for 160 yards and two touchdowns in the Spartans' 28-0 victory against Carnegie Mellon. Homyk set school-records for career receptions (211) and receiving yards in a season (1,165).

Jaskowski had 14 tackles, nine solo and an interception that led to a score in Delaware Valley's 28-27 loss to Widener. He finished with four and a half tackles for loss, three sacks.
DT Darryl Moore, Jr.,
Moore had a fantastic game in Waynesburg's heart-breaking 31-30 overtime loss to Washington and Jefferson. He tied for the game lead with seven total tackles and led all players with 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
DE Blake Barnes, Jr., Maryville
Barnes had eight total tackles, six solo, along with three and a half sacks and two more tackles for loss. He also had three quarterback pressures in helping Maryville limit Ferrum to 21 total yards rushing. Ferrum was averaging over 240 yards rushing in their option offensive attack.
LB Mark Skoglund, Jr.,
Skoglund had a career-high 17 tackles, 10 solo, against Gustavus Adolphus. He ended one drive with solo tackles on third and fourth down in the red zone and sealed another with a fumble recovery.
LB Garrett Thelen, Jr.,
Thelen had 22 tackles, 10 of them solo, as Alma limited Adrian to 43 rushing yards in a 23-13 loss. He added three and a half tackles for loss and broke up a pass.
LB Ben Robinson, Jr., Trinity
Robinson led Trinity to a 28-24 win over Austin College in the season finale, highlighted by his interception return for a touchdown that proved to be the difference in the game. Robinson finished with 14 total tackles in the game, recording 3.0 tackles for loss of six yards and two quarterback hurries. His 19-yard interception return on the second play from scrimmage in the third quarter put Trinity up 28-3 at the time.
LB Danny Polaneczky, Jr.,
Polaneczky made 10 tackles, including two behind the line of scrimmage, in the Maroons' 13-10 win over Washington U., a game that lifted Chicago to its first UAA championship in five years. Led by Polaneczky, Chicago held the Bears to an average of 2.9 yards on 35 running plays.
LB Lane Olson, Sr., UW-Whitewater
Seemingly just another day at the office for the Warhawks. Olson had a team high six tackles, including a tackle for loss, as UW-Whitewater shut out UW-La Crosse 24-0.
CB James Wodicka, Sr., Case
Western Reserve
Wodicka totaled nine tackles, including one for loss, and two interceptions in the Spartans' win against Carnegie Mellon. Wodicka recorded five interceptions in three UAA games and finished with a team-high seven for the year.
S Aaron Selking, Sr., Trine
Selking picked off three passes and caused two fumbles in the regular-season finale, a 58-16 win against Albion. He also had eight tackles, seven solo.
CB Joe Lopez, Sr., Cortland
Lopez intercepted a pass at the Cortland 10-yard line to thwart a first-half Ithaca scoring chance and also finished with three pass breakups in the Red Dragons' 20-17 Cortaca Jug victory. Lopez extended his school record to six straight games with an interception.
Special teams
K Marc Corrado, Jr., Cortland State
Corrado made both of his field goals (26 and 32 yards) and both of his PATs as Cortland defeated Ithaca, 20-17, to win the Cortaca Jug.
P Jeff Sauer, So., Chicago
Sauer averaged 50.5 yards on four punts, including a 75-yard effort, and was also perfect on two field goals in the Maroons' 13-10 win against Washington U.
RET Laquan Robinson, Fr.,
Robinson returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown, starting the Pride's comeback from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Delaware Valley 28-27.

Rashes in the diaper area are common. Prevention and home
treatment measures are generally all that are needed to prevent and treat a
diaper rash.
Diaper rash may be a sign of neglect. Without home
treatment, the rash will not go away and may get worse. Since children and
vulnerable adults can't treat a diaper rash
themselves, it is the caregiver's responsibility to treat a diaper rash. Ask
your day care provider to keep a record of each diaper change if you think that
the diaper is not being changed often enough.
Diaper rash
may also be a sign of abuse. A caregiver may purposely not treat a diaper rash
because of anger directed at a child or vulnerable adult.
possible abuse or neglect when:
You may feel uneasy if your doctor brings up the issue of
abuse. Doctors have a professional duty and legal obligation to check for the
possibility of abuse. It is important to consider this possibility, especially
if there were no witnesses to an injury.
If you suspect abuse,
seek help. You can call the local child or adult protective agency, police, or
clergy or a health professional such as a doctor, nurse, or counselor.
If you think your child has been abused, it is your responsibility to
call your doctor or contact the National Child Abuse Hotline and Referral
Service at 1-800-422-4453. Adults need to protect young children, because they
cannot protect themselves.
If you are having
trouble controlling your anger with a child or vulnerable adult in your care,
resources for help are available.

Asking questions about Heaven may seem like asking questions about Katmandu, Kuala Lumpur, or some other exotic place you are unlikely to see firsthand—an occasion for speculation. But writing about Heaven is not really like writing about faraway places with strange-sounding names, for writing about Heaven is really writing about God.
A creation reflects a Creator and the laws of a kingdom, the ideals of the King. So asking whether we will have sex in Heaven or whether our pets will be there is really asking what kind of God we serve and what his best intentions are for our eternity.
Philosopher Peter Kreeft agreed to write this chapter because Christianity Today still capitalized Heaven (which it usually doesn't) "as if it were a real place like Boston" (which it is) "rather than a wispy abstraction like "wellness." In this essay, Kreeft addresses (often whimsically) 35 frequently asked questions about Heaven (and here Christianity Today capitalizes Heaven).
In this brief chapter I would like to attempt the impossible: to answer the 35 most frequently asked questions about Heaven. Obviously, it would take more than an article, more than a lifetime, and more than human wisdom to answer any one of these questions adequately. But "fools rush in where angels fear to tread."
More seriously, sometimes a taste can whet the appetite for more complete consumption later on, and perhaps these samples will at least suggest ways to think about the subject.
1. How do we know anything about Heaven, anyway?
If we had no "inside information," we could only speculate. Fortunately, we have some solid data to build on: divine revelation. I think God wants us to use our reason and also our imagination (for why should we neglect any God-given faculty) ...1

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's 10-month-old twins will remain with their mother in Aspen for at least a month, according to People.
According to the mag, officials from Pitkin County Social Services visited Mueller and her family in Colorado last week after she called 911 on Sheen on Christmas Day. Following their visit, the child-welfare officials ruled the twins – Bob and Max – were in good hands with their mother and her family.
"The people from the social services agency talked to Brooke, her mom, her step dad and her nanny, and told them that everything looks good and Brooke appears to be an excellent mother," a source close to Mueller told People.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Sheen was arrested on Christmas Day after he allegedly threatened Mueller.
"My husband had me… with um, with a knife and I'm in fear for my life and he threatened me," a woman, who identified herself as "Brooke," said in the 911 call made on December 25.
According to an affidavit released by police, Sheen and Mueller began arguing in the early hours of Christmas Day – at around 3:30 AM, the Associated Press reported.
Mueller reportedly told Sheen she wanted a divorce and said she would get custody of their twin boys, according to the affidavit.
Sheen "became very upset with this threat (of divorce) because of prior experiences," the affidavit noted.
Sheen, however, denied to police that he choked or threatened his wife with a knife. He reportedly admitted to authorities that the couple is having problems in their marriage and he claimed Mueller abuses alcohol, the AP reported.
Sheen, whose real name is Carlos Estevez, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. He was released from jail on Christmas night after posting $8,500 bond.
Attorneys for both parties have asked a judge to lift a restraining order against the "Two and a Half Men" star, which forbids the actor from contacting his wife, in hopes the two can reconcile. However, Colorado prosecutors have requested the order remain in place. They did not give a reason for their request.
In the meantime, Bob and Max are staying put with their mother for the foreseeable future.
"Brooke and the twins, Max and Bob, are planning to stay in their rented Aspen house for at least another month. After that they may go to Palm Beach to visit family for awhile," People's source added.

Will Your Mom's Retirement Community Give Her CPR?
By Sally Abrahms , March 04, 2013 07:59 PM
According to its website, Glenwood Gardens in Bakersfield, Calif., says "our caring staff are trained and equipped to give aid or assistance whenever needed or requested." They claim it offers "the best in independent living, assisted living, memory or nursing care. Glenwood Gardens is the place to be."
I guess that would be if you weren't having a life-threatening breathing problem.
I spent the day scrambling to get the facts about the now infamous incident last week at Glenwood Gardens' independent living facility. Here's the story reported first through the Associated Press and subsequently picked up by newspapers nationwide:
An 87-year-old independent living resident was in the dining room when she passed out and was having a hard time breathing. A nurse (unclear if her job at the facility was as a nurse or in some other capacity) called 911. The emergency dispatcher is heard on the tape pleading with the nurse to perform CPR on the woman. The nurse refuses, telling the dispatcher that it is against company policy to intervene. The woman dies.
In a written statement provided to AP, the executive director of the facility said that the nurse followed company policy - to call 911 and wait for the ambulance to arrive. I called Brookdale Senior Living, the company that owns Glenwood Gardens, to get clarification but they don't seem to be calling me back. ...
It was first reported in the news that Glenwood Gardens was a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Wrong. CCRCs may have an independent, assisted living, and skilled nursing component. Or, they may just offer assisted living and skilled nursing. CCRCs have certain regulations that are governed by state law. But you can also have a freestanding independent living facility, like Glenwood Gardens, that is not part of a CCRC and does not provide health-related services. Translation: it is not subject to CCRC regulations or any contracts.
According to Joseph Rodrigues, California's long-term care ombudsmen, "there's no regulatory requirement for them [Glenwood Gardens] to provide CPR because they are not licensed to offer skilled or medical services to their residents. But from a moral perspective? It's hard to say. I wouldn't want to speculate without knowing the details."
A just-breaking statement released by the California Assisted Living Association (CALA) said, "Currently in California, regulations do not address CPR training or administration in independent living communities. While CALA's membership is comprised of Assisted Living communities, not independent living communities, this incident is prompting providers to review their practices assuring appropriate emergency response procedures are in place."
Here's what others told me:
- Richard Grimes, CEO of the Assisted Living Federation of America: "I don't know the circumstances in this case, but I also don't know any senior living community anywhere that says you cannot provide CPR. It's irrelevant whether the nurse was a nurse, a passerby, or employed by the community. She believed she wasn't allowed to provide CPR and that's clear from the police recording."
- Pat McGinnis, executive director of the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform: "Unless the resident signed a 'do not resuscitate' form, which I'm told she didn't, there should be a presumption that they're going to save your life and not stand by and let you die. ... To have someone dying on the dining room floor, I don't care what their policy is. The nurse might have been following policy, but it's absolutely abhorrent and unconscionable."
I agree. The inactions of the nurse take my breath away.
There needs to be better training of staff so there are no policy misunderstandings. And if the employee was, indeed, following company policy, then perhaps they need to change that policy.
What does this mean for you? If your loved one is going into independent living, you need to find out if it's part of a CCRC or not. Either way, you'll want to know what the facility's policy is with that kind of emergency. Do they have medical staff that will respond if someone is in distress or are they going to default to 911?
What do you think?

It's Summer
Yes, it has been summer for a long while. But for me it is just beginning. I leave in a few hours via train to the Bay area. Saturday is Vineman!
I am not as stoked as I would like to be because I have not been able to run much since I twisted my foot 3 weeks ago on our shuttle adventure. Though I did do 45 minutes this morning and it felt okay. Not great, but okay. We'll see how 26.2 miles go! The aerobars are already on my bike....
I'll do my best to send some updates.

Charles Schwab Corp. has created a new business unit, called Schwab Intelligent Technologies, designed to serve two types of customers as part of its Intelligent Integration initiative.
That initiative is a multi-year program whose first fruits came to light last month with the announcement that a dozen users had completed beta testing of Schwab OpenView Gateway, a modular integration approach, with SalesForce CRM software as the first beta-tested application.
The two customers for the new business, said Schwab Advisor Services' Brian Shenson (left) in an interview Wednesday with AdvisorOne, are advisors themselves—those who custody client assets with Schwab and those who don't—and what Shenson called "best-of-breed" technology providers, such as CRM software maker Junxure.
Both types of customer will benefit, said Shenson, from providing integration between their software packages, Schwab's custodial platform and other custodians' platforms to deliver best-practices workflow to advisors' operations. Shenson, part of the management team for the new venture under the leadership of VP for Advisor Technology Solutions Neesha Hathi, said the new business will be separate from Schwab's broker-dealer, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
In an announcement Wednesday, Schwab said the new business would provide its integration capabilities through Schwab OpenView Gateway, which it called a "flexible, open-architecture technology platform," and said that it will begin beta testing of the recently introduced Junxure 9 CRM software with OpenView Gateway this month. Shenson said that Schwab was "on track" to demonstrate the Junxure-OpenView integration at its annual Impact show this November in San Francisco.
In the same interview Wednesday, Junxure CEO Greg Friedman (left) explained how an advisor could take advantage of the integration. For one thing, he said, "you'll get real-time data access all through your CRM, and workflows, and tools around the integration." Using one sign-on to Junxure, the integration with the custodial platform information will provide "account information right at my fingertips," and described the outcome of the integration work with Schwab as "finally beginning to deliver the benefits of integration." Friedman said the integration will have "an immediate impact in terms of efficiency; this is pretty revolutionary in terms of how an advisor can work."
Shenson characterized the integration with Junxure as allowing an advisor "to see custodial information in the context of the relationships they're managing within the CRM—it reinforces for the advisor the relevance and suitability of the CRM to run their entire office."
Shenson promised that there will be "additional participants on the platform," an example of which will be integrating data from Schwab Performance Technologies' Portfolio Center clients, "providing a full-multicustodial view." He said that Schwab alone has over 100 people working on "developing and creating" the integration capabilities, and that its technology partners/customers, like Junxure, had put much time and work into building the integration. In addition to working with Junxure's technical teams, Shenson said Schwab "also collaborated on product design to meet users' needs and expectations."
In addition, Shenson mentioned that the two firms worked together to create product packages for Junxure clients that include implementation, training and consulting work. Friedman concurred, saying "we've put together bundles of training and product packages that will ensure a high likelihood of success" for users with the integrated package.
"Even the basic bundle comes with implementation assistance and training," Friedman pointed out, while Shenson said that those bundles will be made available to Schwab-affiliated advisors at a discount, while existing Junxure users will get a renewal package." Shenson said the basic bundle will cost under $3,000, and will include support for a number of users.
On Aug. 26, Junxure announced an initiative to greatly expand its training and consulting services for Junxure users, while on Aug. 22, Schwab announced that the 12 beta testers of the SalesForce-enabled Schwab OpenView Gateway were moving into a pilot program.

Disaster Lyrics
How should I say, that I never wanted anything to change
If I rearrange the pieces of a broken down faith
Do you believe in me? Because I'm not sure
I believe in anything…anymore
Pick up the pieces and make me understand
Why we can't move any faster
Losing all demand, I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What should I do? When I never though anything would come true
The solution for the broken down abuse
I'm waiting for the fading floor to let me fall on through
I'm getting closer to letting go, letting go of you
What you don't know will only make this worse
I walked on the ledge
I saw the edge of my future
Being held back by the past

"Introducing a new camera system, improved digital audio, and a water resistant rating, you can do more on iPhone 7 than ever before. "
Apple's 2016 flagship might not be top of Apple's line anymore, but with the iPhone 8 adding little to the mix it's still a good choice if you're looking to save a bit of money.
This is a familiar phone to anyone who has used an iPhone before, with a 4.7-inch display and a comfortable design. It's far from the slickest phone around, but it looks nice in the black colour scheme.
When we originally reviewed the iPhone 7 our biggest problem was the disappointing battery life, and this is still our biggest gripe. We barely made it through the day without reaching for the charger, and even iOS 11 doesn't improve things. If you require a phone with impressive endurance, then we'd suggest you look elsewhere.
Battery aside, the iPhone 7 has an impressive camera and packs a water-resistant body. It's also not as delicate as the iPhone 8, as the back is still metal rather than glass. The lack of a headphone jack will no doubt irk some folks, though.
iPhone 7 arrives with a stylish unibody of seamless glass and aluminium. The traditional Silver, Gold and Rose Gold finishes are joined by the new Black and Jet Black colour options. As well as making a splash, iPhone 7 can also take a splash, thanks to a water resistant rating of IP67.
The front of iPhone 7 houses the brightest and most colourful iPhone display to date. This 4.7 inch screen is 25% brighter, and features a wide colour gamut as well as the popular 3D Touch feature. Below the display is a redesigned Home button which is now pressure sensitive for extra responsiveness.
Featuring a reengineered camera, iPhone 7 offers better results, even in low light. With optical image stabilisation and an f/1.8 aperture, this six-element lens delivers brighter and more detailed shots. There's also a Quad-LED True Tone flash if extra light is required. New features such as Wide Colour Capture will make your photos and Live Photos all the more eye catching. There's also 4K video capabilities for epic home movies.
A 7MP front facing camera lets you love your selfie, using Wide Colour Capture to offer sharper and more vibrant results. There's even a Retina flash for natural-looking colours in darker settings.
iPhone 7 debuts new EarPods with a lightning connector, leading to improved digital audio. If you prefer your old headphones, these can still be used with the 3.5mm adapter which is also included. Also available separately are Apple's AirPods, which offer a wireless experience, combining Bluetooth connectivity with crystal clear sound.
iPhone 7 is also the first ever iPhone to come with stereo speakers, thanks to a new second speaker at the base. This increases the dynamic range, and delivers two times the audio output of iPhone 6s. So whether you're listening to music, watching videos, or on speakerphone, iPhone 7 lets you crank it up.
iPhone 7 is supercharged by the A10 Fusion chip, which is Apple's most powerful chip ever. Offering extra processing power when required, and energy efficiency when less power is needed, this intelligent chip makes for a faster and more efficient user experience.

My name is Francini. I am 12 years old, and I live in in Costa Rica.
I usually get up at 6 a.m. I eat breakfast and, later in the morning, I help my mother with the house chores, especially sweeping and washing dishes.
Right now, I am in fifth grade, and my favorite subject is mathematics. I usually leave for school around noon. I walk for about 10 minutes to get to school. It is not far.

FEMA housing program for Gulf Coast residents ends
Brenda Steele cries as she explains what she will do if FEMA takes the mobile home her husband and children moved into in July 2006, four months before her husband died.
"They start to get it," she said, "they're going to have me and the kids in it. They'll pull it down the road with me and the kids in it."
Steele, who lives in Harrison County, said FEMA has just informed her she can buy the trailer for $7,500, but she doesn't have that kind of money. Her 44-year-old husband suffered multiple health problems, and so do her two children.
She once worked 16-hour shifts, but feels she can no longer afford a job. Her children would lose their Medicaid, she said. One of her daughter's prescriptions is $600 a month.
Steele is one of 1,910 Mississippians for whom FEMA assistance ends today after an agency record of 44 months.
"We know it's a difficult time for families affected by Hurricane Katrina," said FEMA spokesman Eugene Brezany. "We're doing everything we can to move them into permanent housing solutions."
The Mississippi Case Management Consortium of nonprofits, funded by FEMA, is working with residents to find permanent housing.
In many cases mobile home residents are purchasing their units. Those in travel trailers do not have that option. FEMA decided against selling the trailers because of formaldehyde complaints and high formaldehyde levels in some.

One of two boaters from Middletown, Connecticut, who was missing for a week was found alive at sea on a life raft, but the Coast Guard is not continuing the search for his mother, who is still missing.
Nathan Carman, 22, and his mother, 54-year-old Linda Carman, were reported missing Sept. 18 after heading out in the boat Chicken Pox and failing to return from a fishing trip off Point Judith, Rhode Island.
On Sunday afternoon, a China-based freighter called Orient Lucky spotted a life raft 115 nautical miles off Martha's Vineyard, found Nathan Carman inside of it and picked him up, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Nathan, a Middletown native who has been living in Vermont, was wearing a life vest and had an emergency bag of food and water. But there was still no sign of Linda Carman.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Nicole Groll said during a news conference on Monday that the chances of Linda Carman surviving are minimal.
"Unfortunately the decision to suspend a case is never an easy one and we will not be reopening the search for Linda Carman at this time due to the fact that survivability -- we're beyond that point," Groll said.
Signs have been placed outside Linda Carman's home that ask people to "Never Give Up."
She said the Coast Guard took into consideration the weather, water temperature, the fact that Linda Carman was unprotected from the elements and had no food and water. The only one life raft aboard the Chicken Pox was the one Nathan had so his mother would not have access to one.
"The likelihood of her being alive is minimal," Groll said.
Nathan Carman spoke briefly with the Coast Guard and told them the motorized boat the mother and son were in started taking on water off the coast of New York on Sunday, in an area called Block Canyon.
Nathan went looking for his mother to get in the life raft, but he couldn't find her, according to the Coast Guard.
Nathan is due to arrive in Boston sometime n Tuesday night.
The Coast Guard search included an area near Block Island and it expanded through 62,000 square miles, from the coast of Rhode Island to New York and as far as New Jersey.
Sharon Hartstein, who has been friends with Linda for more than 20 years, said Linda let her know she would be leaving Ram's Point Marina in Point Judith early on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 18, and they were supposed to come back later that day. They went out in a 31-foot aluminum fishing boat named the Chicken Pox, The Associated Press reported.
She showed us the last text messages between her and Linda: "So she sent this email Friday, I mean text message, saying that they were going from 'Rams Point around 1 [a.m. Sunday], back by 9 [a.m. Sunday]. Call me 12 noon if you don't hear from me. Thanks for being there.'"
Nathan – who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome -- was the center of a 2011 investigation when he went missing and was found in Virginia.
A friend of the family said on Sunday that Nathan is in good condition.

Crape or crepe (Anglicized versions of the Fr. crêpe ) is a silk, wool, or polyester fabric of a gauzy texture, having a peculiar crisp or crimpy appearance. (The word crape is also used as an Anglicized spelling of crêpe (pancake).)
Silk crape is woven of hard spun silk yarn in the gum or natural condition. There are two distinct varieties of the textile: soft, Canton, or Oriental crape, and hard or crisped crape. Thin crêpe is called crêpe de Chine ("Chinese crêpe").
The wavy appearance of Canton crape results from the peculiar manner in which the weft is prepared, the yarn from two bobbins being twisted together in the reverse way. The fabric when woven is smooth and even, having no crape appearance, but when the gum is subsequently extracted by boiling, it at once becomes soft, and the weft, losing its twist, gives the fabric the waved structure which constitutes its distinguishing feature. Canton crapes are used, either white or colored, for scarves and shawls, bonnet trimmings, etc.
The crisp and elastic structure of hard crape is not produced either in the spinning or in the weaving, but is due to processes through which the gauze passes after it is woven. In 1911, the details of these processes were known to only a few manufacturers, who so jealously guarded their secrets that, in some cases, the different stages in the manufacture were conducted in towns far removed from each other.[citation needed] Commercially they are distinguished as single, double, three-ply and four-ply crapes, according to the nature of the yarn used in their manufacture. They are almost exclusively dyed black and used in mourning dress.
In Great Britain, hard crapes are made at Braintree in Essex, Norwich, Yarmouth, Manchester and Glasgow. The crape formerly made at Norwich was made with a silk warp and worsted weft and is said to have afterwards degenerated into bombazine[citation needed]. A very successful imitation of real crape is made in Manchester of cotton yarn and sold under the name of Victoria crape.
1797, from Fr. crêpe, from O.Fr. crespe (14c.), from L. crispa, fem. of crispus "curled, wrinkled" (see crisp). Meaning "small, thin pancake" is from 1877. Crepe paper is first attested 1895.
1630s, Englished spelling of crepe (q.v.).

Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani got married in good traditional style in the presence of their near and dear ones. And while the ceremony was said to be a very private affair, we realised that it wasn't that closed-door after all.

Presidential invitation brings local pastor to VIP meeting
The Rev. Mark Smith first met President Bill Clinton in the early '90s, when a group of youth led by the pastor performed a musical selection for a White House function while Clinton was still the leader of the Free World.
"It was really a great program – called 'Let's make music, not trouble' and it was very compelling," Smith said. According to him, while he was heading the group, he faithfully wrote letters to the White House for two years before he got the call he was looking for. "They finally called and invited us to perform at the White House for the president's guests; it was truly an honor."
That honor was not relegated to only Clinton's term in the White House, however, as Smith told of events where the first President Bush was entertained, as well as other dignitaries, governors, and leaders of state and national politics. Smith said President Clinton was unable to make the group's Washington performance, but in the weeks after the group's trip to the Oval Office, correspondence grew between the two men and they became fast friends.
"Whenever President Clinton comes to Texas, he invites me to whatever event he is going to," Smith said. "I travel as part of his entourage and we get together and talk about current events and so forth, or whatever is going on in the world."
It came, then, as no surprise to Smith to get the invitation to attend a Houston-area conference where Clinton was on the list of special guests expected to be in attendance.
"(Clinton's) aides called and asked if I would attend, and of course I said I would," Smith recounted. "It was a week-long conference, but I only went for the session where the President would be."
Smith said that at the conference, which was held in March at the Houston Hilton Americas as part of IHS' CERAWeek, he "met a lot of interesting people from all over the globe." According to information from IHS, the multi-day conference culminated in the event Smith attended, where Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush were featured in a forum moderated by IHS CERA's chairman and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin. The former presidents were invited to speak on, among other things, "perspectives and insights focused on the changes and challenges ahead for the global political and economic system."
Smith said Clinton was very insightful in the message he delivered while answering queries from the moderator.
"He gave paragraphical answers and really put a lot of thought into his words," he said. "His delivery was very impressive and you could tell he meant what he was saying."
In private discussion with Clinton, Smith said the former president regaled him with stories of his current endeavors and aspirations for the future.
"He is very excited about what he is doing with his global initiatives," Smith said, adding that Clinton has been busy attending to needs of those suffering from the global natural disasters that have sprung up in countless locales over the past months. "These are the things he holds very dear to his heart. He loves what he is doing and he is staying busy. He wouldn't have it any other way."

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Promising Long-Term Treatment for Chronic Headache Sufferers
New therapy reduces pain intensity by 70 percent
7-Oct-2013 2:00 PM EDT
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)
Available for logged-in reporters only
KEYWORDSpain, Nerve, Headache, Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE:October 13, 201310 a.m. PDT
Newswise — SAN FRANCISCO – October 13, 2013 – For the more than 45 million Americans who suffer from chronic headaches, relief may be on the way in the form of an electric pulse, according to a study presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2013 annual meeting. Electric stimulation of the peripheral nerve reduced average headache intensity by more than 70 percent.
With electric stimulation of the peripheral nerve, a thin insulated wire is implanted in the back of the head (occipital nerve) or in the forehead above the eyebrow (supraorbital nerve) and delivers electric pulses to block pain. The study looked into the safety and long-term usefulness of this treatment.
"Despite advances in headache treatment over the past two decades, many people do not get adequate pain relief from current treatments, or they cannot tolerate the side effects of the medications," said Billy K. Huh, M.D., Ph.D., professor and medical director of the Department of Pain Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, and adjunct professor of the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. "This treatment offers hope to those patients and a chance for a major improvement in quality of life."
The study monitored 46 patients who received peripheral nerve stimulation between 2005 and 2012. Follow-up phone interviews were conducted to determine subsequent headache intensity, frequency of headaches per month, complications and overall satisfaction with the treatment.
The study found that both headache intensity and frequency decreased significantly. The average headache intensity was reduced by more than 70 percent. The average number of "headache days" decreased from 28 to 14 per month. Ninety percent of patients were satisfied with the treatment, with one reporting more than eight years of reduced headache intensity and frequency.
A drawback of the treatment is its relatively high level of complications, which include electrode migration, equipment problems and infection. The study authors state that as physicians gain experience with implantation techniques, complications will decrease.
"This is a real breakthrough for chronic headache sufferers," explained Dr. Huh. "For patients with no other options to relieve their pain and suffering, this treatment is a way for them to get their life back."
The American Society of AnesthesiologistsFounded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 50,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care every patient deserves.

'Darksiders II' Needs a Couple Extra Months To Come To Light
If you were planning your summer vacation around the couple weeks you planned on locking yourself down along with Darksiders II, you'll want to pull up your calendar app to do some rearranging. Originally due out June 26, the game has been pushed back until sometime in August.
The original Darksiders was one of the happy surprises of early 2010, letting you play as horseman of the Apocalypse in War, an action game that blended God of War-style combat with Legend of Zelda-like puzzles. Its sequel passes the baton of destruction to Death, who looks to be more agile and vicious than War.
We're normally fans of delaying Death as long as possible, but not in this case. We suppose we can wait a few more weeks if it means the final product will be more polished.
[Via Darksiders II]
