What to watch for:
* The Venus/Pluto theme, especially given the Cancer/Cap axis, has a lot to do with nature versus nurture, affection and love versus withholding and hierarchies within groups and families....selfish interest versus the group or tribe's interest...competition within families versus emotional cohesion. Pluto in Capricorn gives us deeply fixated reasons to think of ourselves as separate, superior, higher on the totem pole, or "above" the rest of the pack. At worst it's an outworn alpha male kind of story being challenged by the matriarchal or emotional herd outlook.
A great example of this dynamic's timing can be seen in the new film "Mad Max," which pits a group of escaping women-warriors against a possessive, dictatorial tyrant king in the post apocalyptic outback. The story is essentially about the struggle between masculine and feminine values in a society starved for water and green plant life.
How are the dynamics of our closest relationships or family histories embodying any of these struggles? For example, the parents who work too much or the self obsession of jobs and personal narratives that take us away from group bonding. The class warfare or oneupmanship of income groups and higher degrees or material possessions. Using money to show affection rather than touch or quality time. Distrusting each other's differences or insisting that a kid follow in the same footsteps as his or her parents. Over protectiveness. Clanish exclusivism. Cultural or ethnic prejudice. Favoritism. Subtle hierarchies. Double standards. Family secrets. Maintaining the appearance of "the American dream family" at all costs, despite what's going on below the surface. Doing whatever is right for oneself despite the consequences for the larger group.
All the complications of family dynamics, marriage, intimacy, trust, clan, and tradition are very much in the air right now. The simplest truth is that the foundation has been set for a new vision of family and tribe, one that will carry us into the future if we can allow for the ways of the past to slowly fade and die, resisting the urge to fight fights that we know are futile.
* With three planets in Gemini opposing Saturn in Sagittarius and all square to Neptune in Pisces, it's a unique moment of philosophical, intellectual, and spiritual transformation, debate, dialogue, and synthesis. Many things that were formerly set apart are now coming together, while some things that were put together might be coming apart.
It's a paradigm changing moment, potentially. The naturally dispersive and changeable nature of the mind is being challenged to commit to something new, a vision of something larger that may require more consistency, discipline, and focus.
At the same time, whatever philosophical commitments we're coming to right now have been arrived at because we've honored our own resistance for long enough that the acceptance or surrendering is done from an authentic place of sacrifice. We don't think about this as often as we should when we use the word, "surrender." What is there to surrender if we haven't first strengthened the position of the one surrendering? How can we authentically give if we've not built anything up from which to give? Right now we should feel better about surrendering something of ourselves than at some point in the past...because we know that the choice is ours this time around. We're not doing it from a place of "should" or "ought," but from a place of knowing..."I am the one yielding this time. I am the one changing. I am the one submitting. I am the one who is ready to learn."
This leads us naturally into a conversation about Gemini.
The mind is constantly talked about as something separate from the heart. Get out of your head. Get out of your intellect. Get out of the talk and the ideas. Get into feelings and the heart. Into love.
Too often these words "love" and "heart," whitewash our minds and oversimplify our experiences. From Gemini's point of view it's the sharpness and clarity of perception, of thinking, of attentiveness, of changeability and the speed of recognition, that keeps us present and standing in the pre-cognitive stream of life: the bird calls and sounds and fast twitch slow twitch alternations, the information superhighway of life itself, constantly emerging from the depths of the unconscious. Life is a never ending/never beginning movement of too many things to name or count, and the reward of our interactions are the experiences themselves. Not merely love, or peace, or serenity. Those things too, but not only.
Gemini's insistence on the nervous flow of information is the insistence upon a life lived in communication with what taoists call, "the then thousand things" or "the myriad beings." The open mind is the mind in constant relationship with the names and faces and showings of the world around it. Here belief is just one more bird call. Here truth is just a noise in the bushes. Here plans and goals and commitments are the mating calls or territory markings of large animals in the forest.
If we haven't established this place of mind then we have no chance of committing to something like mindfulness. If our minds aren't sharp and our understanding of truth not based in the nervous and mental ambivalence of eternity, then we aren't alive or alert enough to commit or focus our minds to one path or another, one teacher or another, one guiding star or another.
The double sided nature of Gemini isn't about duality. That's an oversimplification. Rather it's about mental dexterity, which is also an image of our angel nature. The angelic quicksilver of the mind. Each time we resist a dogma in favor of uncertainty. Each time we resist a doctrine in favor of "don't know, and not sure I care," we strengthen our knowledge of the soul, which is fundamental, eternal, and as Heraclitus said, "is undiscovered though explored forever to a depth beyond report."
It's ironically only from this place (at least from Gemini's perspective) that we can give our faith to anything. Ambivalence is the a-temporal origin of faith. It is not the same as doubt. Uncertainty and to some degree indifference, is the bedrock of faith according to Gemini. Because faith is not about certainty. It's about trust without expectation. The without expectation part comes because we've been able to establish the deeper "open mindedness" of Gemini. As though, even if this doesn't work out it's okay, I'm eternal so I'll just go try something different. I won't ever lose my curiosity because curiosity and eternity are first cousins.
More. Gemini's doubt, skepticism, and fierce rationalism, to some extent are defenses against the shadow side of faith, which is certainty and truth (truth with a capital and ultimate T).
Take all of this and apply it to our current t-square and that's why we're looking at being able to give ourselves to something (a belief, philosophy, subject, approach or vision) because we've done the work of establishing "open mindedness" at our roots.
On the other hand, some people might be needing to let go of certainties and ultimate truths for the sake of developing this open mindedness at a deeper level. So it's a bit of a push and pull right now.
Prayer: Help me ground my faith in the endless space of an open mind.

Red leaves are one of the most colourful elements of autumn. Leaves that turn red in spring or summer, however, may be sending out distress signals. Like out-of-season yellowing leaves, red leaves may be caused by a light problem, watering problem or soil chemistry concerns. Learn to respond to signals to keep your plants healthy and growing well. One or more problems may be stressing your plants.
What Red Leaves Mean
Red leaves signal plant stress from several different possible sources. We associate red leaves with fall, and seeing them in summer indicates that something has accelerated the ageing process in a plant. Nearly always, red leaves are followed by brown ones and leaf death unless the cause or causes can be found.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Test soil around ailing plants. Reddening leaves may indicate a lacking soil nutrient, like magnesium for geraniums. Perennial plants are particularly susceptible to nutrient problems; sitting in the same soil year after year, they deplete soil chemicals and become increasingly dependent on gardeners to provide more. An experienced berry grower, for example, assures that plans will get enough nitrogen by side-dressing them all with peat moss each spring.
pH Rebalancing
Neighbours are another issue for perennial plants. Plants may function well until a new plant is introduced close by. Fertiliser intended for the newcomer can leach through the soil to the roots of its new neighbours, adversely affecting the acid/alkaline soil balance that the original plants need to function well. Hydrangeas are well known as beacons for soil pH. Flowers of some varieties turn blue in alkaline soil and pink in acid soil. Red leaves on other kinds of plants may signal a need for overall soil conditioning.
Watering Concerns
Changes in drainage or water supply can precipitate the accelerated ageing indicated by summer red leaves. Again, look beyond the plant for possible causes. Paving a gravel driveway, replacing old timbers with a new stone retaining wall and even cutting down a large tree can cause plants in the surrounding area to receive either more or less water than they need to function well.
Basic botany teaches us the link between green chlorophyll production and the sunlight that plant leaves receive. We learn also that in fall leaves do not so much change colour as they lose colour, when dying chlorophyll reveals underlying leaf pigments. What is less well known is that excessive sunlight may overwhelm chlorophyll production in the leaves of a shade-loving plant, with the result that leaves appear red. New plants may need a shadier location; established plantings may benefit from shade cloth in summers of intense sunlight.

People are given the opportunity to meet people they may have never encountered in their daily travels. The new-found accessibility widens the dating pool from which they can choose from. Conversely, the public nature of social networks allows for the actions people take to be monitored and scrutinized. Several arguments have started between partners over a comment on Facebook, a liked picture on Instagram, or the amount of time a person spends tweeting. The negative aspects lead some to believe that social sites should be abandoned when in a relationship. I believe that complete desertion does not always have to be the answer. Here are a few tips to assist you in maintaining your social networking activity and your romantic relationship:
Schedule a social network moratorium. Often times couples complain about the frequency in which their partners engage with social networks. Collaboratively pick a chunk of time in which you both agree to stop your cyber interaction and start interacting with one another. It does not matter if it is for a full day or a few hours, find something that works for you both.
Follow the Golden Rule. Treat your partner the way you would like to be treated. If you are not comfortable with certain interactions on social sites, it is best to avoid engaging in the same activities.
Avoid airing your relationship dirty laundry. If you and your partner are going through some issues in your relationship, discussing them on a social site may exacerbate the problem.
Work on establishing and maintaining trust. A liked status on Facebook does not automatically equate to infidelity. Every Twitter follower is not trying to interfere in your relationship. Sometimes the issues people have with their partner's cyber interaction stem from deeper trust issues they have with one another. Work diligently to discover and rectify these problems in order to move forward within your relationship.
If you feel that your social network involvement is interfering with your relationships, do not hesitate to contact a therapist at Philadelphia MFT for assistance.

No matter how much you sweat, slog, and suffer on a treadmill, you can't out-train a bad diet. At least, that's what fitness articles (like this one, this one, this one, and this one) will tell you.
The basic argument is simple: If you run two miles, you'll burn somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 calories. If you go home and eat something from a so-called "bad diet," like a cup of rocky road, you'll take in 300 calories—meaning you're 50 calories over. You can't, conventional wisdom says, easily outrun the amount you can chow down.
There are also plenty of studies that show trying to lose weight without dieting is a losing strategy: In a year-long study published in 2011, those who dieted without exercise lost 10 percent of their body weight, while those who exercised without changing their nutrition lost just 1 percent of their body weight. Summarizing a bunch of research, the Mayo Clinic has said "most studies have demonstrated no or modest weight loss with exercise alone … an exercise regimen is unlikely to result in short-term weight loss beyond what is achieved with dietary change."
But in many of these studies, the amount and type of exercise prescribed to the participants is very basic: In one classic study, for instance, dieters were instructed to walk or jog just two or three times per week for 30 to 45 minutes. James Heathers, a postdoctoral fellow at Northeastern, recently took issue with protocols like these.
"Basically, [they] range between a gussied-up version of 'go for a walk' to 'come on, shift yourself about a bit, I guess.' They have no skill-development component, no increase in work capacity to match progress, no anaerobic work of any kind, no mobility or movement pattern work of any kind, nothing," he wrote in a Medium post. "The idea that this is a 'normative' amount of exercise is a total failure to communicate the correct expectations."
That doesn't mean Heathers thinks "out-training a bad diet" is a slam dunk, or even an easy concept to define: "You need parameters on what 'out-train' is," he wrote. "And then we need to agree on what makes a diet 'bad.'"
For most people, Heathers suggests, out-training a bad diet probably means maintaining low levels of subcutaneous white fat—looking "lean," basically—while eating copious amounts of whatever they want. One of the most egregious examples of "whatever they want" is swimmer Michael Phelps, who famously claimed to eat 12,000 calories per day while preparing for the Beijing Olympics.
But it wasn't the food intake, which Phelps later admitted was exaggerated, that impressed Heathers. Phelps was training a hell of a lot—reportedly up to 50 miles per week.
And unfortunately, that's also the amount of effort it seems to take for mere mortals. In 2015, Spencer Nadolsky, a doctor practicing family medicine and obesity medicine in Olney, Maryland, transitioned from training for a bodybuilding competition to training for a triathlon. To do so, Nadolsky went from "pretty much starving myself" to eating whatever he wanted, including a nightly bowl of ice cream. He gained 8 pounds, but from the looks of his progress pictures, almost none of it was fat—the doctor still had a six-pack, and saw increases in his cardiovascular fitness and speed.
But like Phelps, he also trained a lot: six or seven days a week, averaging seven or eight total hours. On an average Friday, he says, he would do upper-body lifts for an hour, then swim for an hour.
"It was so much training. It took so much time," he says. But he did eat ice cream almost every day and took down, by his estimates, 3,000 to 4,000 calories daily. Aside from a slight uptick in the size of his LDL particles, a marker for cholesterol risk, his bloodwork, weight, and fitness all improved. Still, Nadolsky doesn't recommend this to his patients.
"You can't just go out and work out like a fiend. You have to work your way up to it," he says. For Nadolsky's obesity clients, this amount of exercise is unrealistic when they're starting out. But for the doctor, a former D-I wrestler who just finished an intense cycle of training to compete in bodybuilding, it was within range. "I already had a lot of muscle. I had a big engine," he says.
That's the "you" part of the "you can't out-train a bad diet"—"you" can do it if "you" are someone like Phelps and Nadolsky. Their training volume is also so high that it almost requires a "bad diet."
"These elite-level athletes are eating so much just to keep up with their training," Nadolsky says, and the same went for his experiment: Most of the food he ate was "quality food," but "if I ate just good, clean stuff, I couldn't get it all in."
As a result, at night he'd have to eat high-calorie foods like ice cream and cupcakes to reach his daily caloric needs. "Because I could, but also if I didn't, my running or swimming or whatever the next day was not as good."
"People might ask, 'Why isn't he eating lean meat with vegetables?' Because it's hard to eat 12,000 calories of anything," Heathers said, referring to Phelps' supposed training diet. "So he's got to eat pasta with commercial red sauce on it. He's got to eat things that are palatable."
So can you out-train a "bad" diet? "If you do it strategically, you enjoy it, and you have enough time, it's an option. It is possible," Nadolsky says, depending on who "you" are and what you consider to be a "bad" diet.
But it might not be worth it, as Heathers points out. "If I suddenly think, 'I want to improve everything [about my health],' I can't go out and do one of those five-hour training rides. My legs will fall off."
It's easier, as Nadolsky suggests, to have a healthy relationship with "bad" food like ice cream—have it as a treat, recognize it as a treat, and don't have it every day.
Unless, you know, you have 23 gold medals. Then eat whatever you want.

Step one – Web Host
This might seem too trivial for first place on the list, but don't underestimate the importance of your web host. Your choice will ultimately dictate the way your site handles and it could make or break your user's experience (keep in mind that the average someone will wait only 2 to 3 seconds for a page to load). Things to consider when choosing a host:
• Capacity for size and speed
• Server readability
• Cloud hosting
• Customer reviews
• Control panels
• Scalability
• Price
Still need help? Here's a great article on How to choose the right web hosting
Step two – Content Management system (CMS)
All content management systems are not created equal and what works for one website might not be the best fit for another. Rather than relying on what others use or recommend, you will want to look at the features a CMS offers and how it supports the immediate and future needs of your proposed website. In addition to such things as licensing, support, accessibility and security, you will want to consider these:
• Functionality
• Managing assets
• Customization
• User interface
• You might also want to take a look at: 10 things to consider when choosing the perfect CMS (via Smashing Magazine)
Step three – Wireframing
When building websites, this is where it starts to really count. A wireframe is basically a blueprint of your entire site and helps develop hierarchy within your webpages. It helps determine how the user interacts with the interface. Remember, if a user can find something within 2 clicks he or she will leave. Here's a website with a list of applications you may find helpful: 20 of the Best Free Online Wireframing Applications
Step four – Responsive design
Responsive design is often called "future-proofing" because it allows you to program one site that will work on any number of different screen resolutions. Google now uses mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal, so if your site isn't responsive then making it so should be your priority. Related to this–a key factor when building websites for mobile is font size. You'll want to test for legibility on all different screen sizes. An application we often use when designing responsive designs is LiveView, which we wrote about in our recent blog post: 5 Resources Every Web Designer Should Use.
Step five – Clean Code and SEO
The best way to ensure that your website will get noticed is to have clean, well-written code. Avoid using a wysiwyg ("what you see is what you get) application, such as Dreamweaver. This will add unwanted code, which can cause a host of issues, including longer load time. Instead, use a good text editor such as Sublime. Also, make sure you use proper tags for each page, and optimize all images for faster load time. Lastly, and the best piece of advice we can give, is to have internal links and backlinks to improve your site rankings and get your name out there.
• Test the speed of your website – website grader url
• Compress your images to the smallest size possible – tiny png or tiny jpg
Step six – Styleguides
Often overlooked, but a styleguide is essential for a seamless process from design to programming. Remember, programmers are not designers and may not understand the finer details of your designer's work. Don't leave anything to guess work—provide a detailed style guide. Here are some of the information you'll want to include:
• Hex colors to ensure accuracy from design to programming
• Size of photography
• Fonts and weights
• Spacing between elements
• Any special rollovers or animation

"Sorry about yesterday," I said to Paul. "I was working on another project and I couldn't think clearly enough to talk with you. So I just posted a rerun."
"Why do you think you need to apologize?" Paul said. "Did you do something against God?"
"Did you do something against someone else?"
"Not that I know of."
"Were you afraid that you disappointed me? Or others?"
"Um, maybe."
Paul leaned forward in the rocking chair. "Do you understand the danger of that fear of disappointing? Do you find any connection between this little conversation and why I got so upset with Peter?"
I thought for a bit. "I hadn't until we started talking," I said. "But I just realized that what was happening with Peter and what was happening with the Galatians, was partially about fear of disappointment and disapproval."
"Go ahead."
"Let me go back to your meeting in Jerusalem. You and Barnabas and Titus took an offering from Antioch to Jerusalem to help with famine relief. It was a great example of a young church helping an older church. While you were there, the elders asked how things were going and you started explaining what you had been teaching about Jesus among the gentiles. You offered Titus as an example, and you talked about the remarkable church in Antioch where there were both Jews and gentiles who were now Christians."
Paul laughed. "It was the first time some of those leaders had heard that label. I think that might have been their first real sense that there was going to be a label other than 'Jews who believe in Jesus.' And it may have been the first time that some of them saw a gentile Christian, who hadn't first been a devout man like Cornelius."
"Cornelius was the Roman soldier that Peter talked with, right?" I said. "Where Peter began to understand that, following the example of Jesus, it was possible to have conversation with those who were regarded as unclean?"
"True, although I need to come back to that 'understanding' that Peter had. But go back to the meeting. Although the elders understood the freedom that the Gospel gave, both to Jews and to Gentiles, there were some people who slipped into the meeting to spy. They weren't comfortable with people who lived by a Jesus-centered relationship with God. They were stuck with a self-centered relationship, based on keeping the rules."
"And making sure everyone else kept them?" I said. "That's why you started talking about the risk of living in fear of disappointing?"
"Slaves fear for their lives, living in bondage. I saw the freedom from that kind of living, a freedom to living in relationship with God. And I was passionate about helping people see that freedom from fear. Both at an after-life level, but maybe more importantly at a right-now level."
"You mean like worrying about a blog-post schedule?" I asked.
Paul smiled.

Mary Mary's Tina Campbell and her husband Teddy welcomed their second son in Los Angeles early yesterday.
Santana Campbell arrived at 9:16 a.m. weighing 7 lbs, 5 oz and measuring 19 1/2-inches long.
"With the biggest grin plastered across his face, my husband and proud dad, Teddy, held my hand, as I cried tears of joy when my doctor handed me our new son, Santana Campbell," said beaming mom Tina. "After 9 challenging months of carrying our son, every second of it all became so worth it, in this moment. We're so privileged to have, once again, experienced the gift of childbirth."

- Location: Kerala, India
- Home Capacity: 15 Children
The Appam Hope Home is currently home to 13 children. "Appam," which is a local word for "bread," is overseen by a husband and wife who were trained at our main Bible College in Kota. Initially their ministry was to beggars and commercial sex workers(CSW). The Hope Home began in 2006 when a commercial sex worker from the slums approached the couple and asked if they could adopt her daughter. After that the couple took in a young homeless child and the Lord has continued to bless the work ever since. Today, they care for 13 children in the 5 room Hope Home. There the children have ample room and love playing Badminton and Carom Board (an Indian board game).

Last week the UK played host to a Develop Conference. Pete Smith, a Sony producer had some very interesting words about Limbos origins, apparently those origins were PlayStation bound. Summer 2010 the critically and commercially successful Xbox Live title Limbo was released, this atmospheric title was held in high regard for its stunning visual style and has become one of the best 2D platformers of this generation. PlayStation Network and Steam were finally able to play this game a year later.
Sony has however spoke frankly about why Limbo was almost exclusive to the PlayStation console via Edge. "I maybe shouldn't say this," Smith said, "but we had issues when we were trying to sign Limbo because of the IP.", Sony's insistence over owning the IP forced PlayDead (The Developer) to head over to Xbox Live instead. "There are obvious benefits to keeping [an IP], but also to giving it up: you're way more likely to get the deal. Remember: 100 percent of nothing is nothing. A publisher is much more likely to commit to marketing and merchandising if they own the IP."
As stated PlayDead wanted to keep the rights to Limbo within house to try and gain as much profit as possible, but to also have complete creative control of the title in the coming years allowing a sequel to possibly be developed without much of a problem. With the game selling absurd amounts on every platform graced with its presence, it is clear PlayDead made the right call financially.
Sony definitely made the wrong move when it comes to the Limbo developers, most likely in their mind a mistake that will hopefully never repeat itself.

As part of my work experience at That's York TV I was asked to go to the official opening and blessing of the Minster School's new Nursery building in the restored 'White House'
The brief was to film and edit a package for the evening TV news broadcast.
There were a couple of little obstacles to over come the main being that I broke my tripod so had to free hand things.
The editing was quite interesting as the Archbishop was very animated, providing plenty of quality footage.
The white flashes at the cuts were the choice of the editor, i would have preferred a softer cross fade.

Reviewing the life and career of Edgar Allan Poe can be a hall-of-mirrors-like experience. There are as many Poes, it seems, as there are people to make, calumniate and rehabilitate his reputation, with some observers doing double duty as both foe and friend.
There is Poe the hybrid of genius and charlatan whose literary criticism was ''the most complete and exquisite specimen of provincialism ever prepared for the edification of men'' (Henry James). There is Poe who possesses ''the intellect of a highly gifted young person before puberty'' yet whose ''variety and ardor'' of curiosity nevertheless ''delight and dazzle'' (T. S. Eliot). There is Poe who ''endows imagination with Godlike power'' and ''anticipates the special hell of modern man'' (Allen Tate by way of Daniel Hoffman).
There is Poe the poet, Poe the pauper, Poe the mourner, Poe the alcoholic. There is Poe the working writer (less generously referred to as hack) and frequent magazine contributor, and there is Poe the inventor of the detective story and the science-fiction tale and tales of ratiocination. There is the Poe who applied himself to graphology, ciphers, cryptograms, puzzles, labyrinths and mesmerism. There is Poe who quarreled with editors and colleagues, made friends of his enemies and enemies of his friends.
Bringing up the actual man from the erosive, turbulent sea that has been Poe's particularly ill-fated mixture of life and legend is no easy task, but it is one that, in a modest way, the Pierpont Morgan Library has set about doing with ''Poe: The Ardent Imagination,'' an exhibition mounted in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of his death.
Dispelling the Gloom
Edgar Allan Poe had one of the most unfortunate executorial experiences in the history of American letters. He entrusted his posthumous opus to the Rev. Rufus W. Griswold, whose blackening of Poe demonstrated ''a sustained hatred,'' as Auden once put it. Auden characterized Griswold's treatment of Poe as subtle, but it's hard to see much that is subtle in a man who, albeit after praising Poe as a skilled writer of faultless taste, maligned him as erratic, unprincipled and immoral; portrayed him flailing his arms and speaking to spirits; falsified letters to ''prove'' his treachery to his friends; alleged that he had deserted the Army and had been expelled from a university, and intimated that he was the lover of his mother-in-law, who was also, as it happens, his aunt.
It is little wonder that upon Poe's death a representative obituary (in The New York Daily Tribune) described him as ''pale even to ghastliness'' and reported that his heart was ''gnawed with anguish'' and his face ''shrouded in gloom,'' thereby helping to inaugurate the mythic, tortured Poe whom Christine Nelson, the curator of the exhibition, seeks to rein in with her presentation of manuscripts and memorabilia drawn entirely from the Morgan's collection.
Ms. Nelson follows in the path of other rescuers of Poe, notably Arthur Hobson Quinn, who exposed Griswold's libel; Kenneth Silverman, who is the author of a superb recent biography, ''Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-Ending Remembrance,'' and the poet Daniel Hoffman, whose eccentric ''Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe'' joins in a jazzed, delirious dance with the man and his work. Ms. Nelson's goal, she said, was ''to look at Poe's importance in his own time, when he was a vibrant critic, a vocal magazine writer and a beloved teller of tales.'' She was less interested in Poe the tragic hero.
This Poe, it turns out, is not substantially represented in the Morgan holdings, which helps Ms. Nelson emphasize the productive over the pained Poe, but the latter does makes an appearance here nonetheless, in sections titled ''Love and Death'' and ''Personal Suffering.''
Loss is one of the great unavoidable themes of Poe's life and work. Both of his parents were actors; his father, who drank, abandoned the family, while his mother died of consumption when Poe was a small boy. Separated from his brother and sister, Poe was raised by a foster mother, who also died of consumption, and a foster father, who cruelly rejected the emerging young writer. Loss came again with the early death of Poe's wife, Virginia, who was Poe's first cousin and 13 years old when he married her. At 25 she, too, died of consumption.
''Of all melancholy topics, what, according to the universal understanding of mankind, is the most melancholy?'' Poe once famously asked himself. Death was the reply. And when is this most melancholy of topics most poetical? ''When it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world.''
Declining Explanation
In support of this ''most poetical'' topic, we see an autograph manuscript of ''Tamerlane,'' the title poem in Poe's first book, which presents the Tartar conqueror's deathbed recollections of young love. Nearby are fair copies of ''Ulalume'' and ''Annabel Lee,'' two further examples of Poe's death-of-a-beautiful-woman poems. ''Ulalume'' is accompanied by an interesting letter to Susan Ingram, who had heard Poe recite the poem in Virginia in September 1849, a month before his death. She asked him to interpret the obtuse verse; he replied with a handsomely penned copy of the poem and a letter gently refusing the task: ''I remember Dr. Johnson's bitter and rather just remarks about the folly of explaining what, if worth explanation, should explain itself.''
Early in this century, in her advanced old age, Ingram visited J. P. Morgan, who had bought the manuscript from her in 1906, and asked to see it one more time before she died. Thus at least one woman, though no longer young and perhaps not still beautiful, survived to remember Poe and remain attached to him long after he himself had turned to dust.
The living Poe had some palpably hard times, to be sure. He was a ''victim of melancholy,'' says a letter from his employer at The Southern Literary Messenger, where Poe was an editor. He drank, as his father did, but frequently renounced alcohol. In this sad letter to George Eveleth, a medical student admirer, Poe wrote in February 1848: ''The causes which maddened me to the drinking point are no more, and I am done drinking, forever.'' Alas he was not. Later that spring he was observed there by another editor ''in a debauch.'' ''No influence was adequate to keep him from the damnable propensity to drink,'' that editor remarks in a Morgan letter. ''He spoke of himself as the victim of a preordained damnation, as l'ame perdue.''
Crackling With Invention
But there were many periods in his life when Poe's soul was found and redeemed and, more than that, when his mind crackled with invention and rigorous (if occasionally loopy) thinking, as case after case at the Morgan attests. A career as fertile and varied as Poe's time and again vanquishes the damnable propensity to (actually, of course, the illness of) drink.
Consider his notes, for example, for a proposed book about the American literary scene. With many deletions and corrections Poe works up ''some honest opinions'' on the subject. He comes out against the kind of cliquerie represented by the Transcendentalists (''perhaps the worst feature we have'') and in favor of establishing international copyright law. He rails against the depreciation of Southern and Western talent, ''which upon the whole is greater, more vivid, fresher, than that of the North.''
Attuned to the ''proverbial sensitiveness of authors,'' he recognizes the difficulty of writing about his contemporaries, and he considers it a false notion that American writing, good and bad, merits automatic praise. The latter was a principle Poe lived by. He accused Longfellow, a frequent recipient of Poe's lashings, of ''affectation and imitation -- an imitation sometimes verging on downright theft.''
Inventor of Genres
Poe was not all prickles and burrs and barbs. He was the author of the wildly popular ''Raven,'' which, interestingly, made an early appearance on the back page of a newspaper, embedded among ads for pens, Turkish pipe bowls and Southern Balm, ''The Great American Remedy.'' More reverential treatment came in time: translations by Mallarme (who, along with Baudelaire, was among the French writers greatly influenced by Poe); illustrations by Manet, Gustave Dore and even Matisse; bindings tooled and gilded like jewels.
Poe was also of course a pioneer of the short story, in which he believed a certain unique or single effect should be wrought out -- and was, by him, in several genres that he virtually created, detective and science fiction among them. The Morgan displays a rare pamphlet copy of ''The Murders in the Rue Morgue,'' stained with brown spots like drops of blood. Nearby is ''The Tell-Tale Heart,'' which first appeared in James Russell Lowell's short-lived magazine The Pioneer.
Hanging by itself, like a hallowed scroll, is ''A Tale of the Ragged Mountains,'' one of several exceedingly curious autograph manuscripts Poe produced for reasons unknown to Ms. Nelson. In his clearest and most crisp adult hand, he wrote out the story on narrow sheets of paper, then joined them together with sealing wax into a long roll that resembles a mummy's bandage or toilet paper.
Poe was a vigorous, disciplined, driven fellow, hard-working, not above taking mundane jobs for money, a tale spinner and sentence weaver to the marrow. He loved, lost, drank, ached and mourned and struggled with a psyche of much complexity. These two Poes, two of dozens to be sure, hover like specters over the glass cases on East 36th Street. But, perhaps ineluctably, none is as haunting as the daguerreotyped Poe, whose likeness was taken in Providence in 1848, four days after he attempted suicide the year before his death.
Beneath the finely scored surface, a baggy-eyed, heavy-browed, marble-skinned Poe shimmers in silvery enigmatic silence. He had come to Providence to pursuade a woman, a fellow writer, Sarah Helen Whitman, to marry him. He had promised to abstain from drink but had broken his pledge and lost his love. Whitman ''bade him farewell,'' she wrote, ''with feelings of profound commiseration for his fate.''
Ending a visit to the Morgan on this note would affirm the turbulent, troubled Poe. But this man, intricate in courtship as in his other human relations, remains his fierce, slippery, paradoxical self. ''From this day forth I shun the pestilential society of literary women,'' he wrote a friend. ''They are a heartless, unnatural, venomous, dishonorable set.'' He added, ''How great a burden is taken off my heart by my rupture with Mrs. W.''
Edgar Allan Poe died on Oct. 7, 1849. ''Lord help my poor soul'' were the last words he spoke.

Rovers Under-21s made it a hat-trick of league wins with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday afternoon.
After triumphs over West Bromwich Albion and Derby County, Eric Kinder's young side completed a fine treble with the win over Wolves.
David Carson's superb solo goal in the 19th minute settled the match in Rovers' favour, the midfielder stealing the ball before advancing and cooly slotting home.
To their credit Wolves battled hard for a way back into the game, but Rovers held out for another clean sheet and another three points.
There was little between the two sides as the game got underway at a sunny Brockhall, with few opportunities in the opening quarter of the game.
But just before the 20 minute mark it was Rovers who broke the deadlock.
As Wolves looked to play the ball out from the back, captain Carson stole in to claim possession, he then showed good composure to beat another defender before firing into the bottom corner of the net.
The visitors tried to hit back but couldn't find a way through a resolute Rovers back line. Goalkeeper Ryan Crump saved well from a deflected effort, whilst the central defensive pair of Sam Lavelle and Sam Jones threw their bodies to block when it mattered.
The second half started with another important block from a Wolves break, Kellen Daly the man on this occasion to thwart the opposition.
At the other end Lewis Mansell and Lewis Hardcastle were unfortunate to see their efforts blocked, before Connor Mahoney was just over from Carson's clever pass.
As the match entered it's closing stages it was the visitors who pushed and pushed. A huge scramble in the box on 79 saw Lee Evans fire wide when well placed.
Then after great work from Mansell to win the ball, Connor Thomson saw his effort saved by Jonathan Flatt in goal.
But the best chance for Wolves to get back on level terms came with two minutes left, Eusebio Bancessi firing over the bar when the ball dropped to the substitute in the area.
Rovers saw out the remaining minutes to register their third successive victory and yet another clean sheet.
ROVERS: Crump, Daly, Doyle, Hardcastle, Lavelle, Jones, Rittenberg (sub Cham 85 mins), Thomson, Mansell, Carson (c), Mahoney.
Subs not used: Wharton, Fisher (GK), Tanner, Edgar.
Goals: Carson 19 mins.
Booked: Carson.
WOLVES: Flatt, Simpson, O'Hanlon, Evans, Hayden, Upton, Ismail (sub Bancessi 66 mins), Kellermann (sub Eniis 69 mins), Wilson, Hunte (sub Weeks 83 mins), Graham.
Subs not used: Matinyadze, Bills (GK).
Goals: None
Booked: Kellermann, O'Hanlon.

Seems like the water resistant and dust proof thing is finally catching on. Sony has been doing it for a bit with their devices, and now it looks like LG is following those footsteps. Although that could also be because the Samsung Galaxy S5 is waterproof and dust proof. The latest rumor about the LG G3, which we are expecting to see later this summer, consist of it being dust and water proof. Which seems to be the spec of the year this year.
Lately, LG has been putting out some really great devices and really turning around their reputation in the tech community. It used to be that LG was known for mid-range and low-end devices along with late updates if you even got an update. But since the Optimus G in 2012, LG has really stepped up their game. The LG G2 was a fantastic device which is now getting the update to Android 4.4 KitKat, even before Samsung on some carriers and regions.
As far as the specs for the LG G3, we don't really know what to expect, but with it slated for the second half of the year, I'd expect a 5.3-inch 1080p IPS display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB and 64GB of storage, and a 3500mAh battery. Which I think are all likely specs and something that's definitely possible from LG. Of course they could go bigger, but I think they want to keep the overall size of the G3 the same as the G2, and just make the bezels a bit smaller, which will be tough since they are already pretty small.
Rumors are pointing to a July or August announcement for the LG G3, so we've still got some time for plenty of rumors and leaks to come out for the G3. But I'm definitely excited to see what LG has in store for us this year. As they have been pretty good with their devices lately, especially battery life. How many of you are excited for the LG G3?

Several Silicon Valley leaders are bankrolling California State Senate leader Kevin de León, the challenger to longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein, per disclosure forms. Among his backers is LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, one of Silicon Valley's most prolific political donors, who held a fundraiser for de León last year, Axios hears from multiple sources.
Why it matters: The support from big names in the industry underscores growing tension between Silicon Valley and its longtime senator. Some in tech see Feinstein as out of step with their fast-growing industry and have clashed with her over issues like encryption.
