December 11, 2017Prof. Nasser M. Al-Daghri visits Garching
short report — Together with Prof. Abdallah Azzeer, Prof. Nasser M. Al-Daghri from King-Saud-University has complied with an invitation of Prof. F. Krausz to pay a visit to his MPQ-LMU laboratories and present a colloquium about his research on the 4-5th of December 2017. Prof. Nasser has an impressive track record in biomarker discovery. His lab has a variety of biochemical tools which will be used in the cooperation as valuable benchmarking methods for the analysis of blood samples. Moreover Dr. Nasser has built up a large biorepository from more than tens of thousands of Arab children as well as tens of thousands of adults in Saudi Arabia. His great deal of expertise in biomarker research together with his biorepository might provide important contributions to testing the applicability of field-resolved infrared molecular fingerprinting for biomedical diagnostics of other chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus. The utility of this approach, which had been developed in the laboratories of Prof. Krausz, is currently being studied in another collaboration with Profs. Jean-Marc Nabholtz and Khalid Al-Saleh for early detection of breast cancer. Following his excellent talk, which was received with great interest, Prof. Nasser and Prof. Azzeer discussed possibilities of starting a collaboration in the above research direction. Prof. Nasser, Prof. Azzeer and Prof. Krausz agreed to continue discussions about a starting joint activities upon Prof. Krausz' upcoming visit at KSU.

May 31, 2016Attosecond camera for nanostructures
pressrelease — The interaction between light and matter is of key importance in nature, the most prominent example being photosynthesis. Light-matter interactions have also been used extensively in technology, and will continue to be important in electronics of the future. A technology that could transfer and save data encoded on light waves would be 100.000-times faster than current systems. A light-matter interaction which could pave the way to such light-driven electronics has been investigated by scientists from the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), in collaboration with colleagues from the Chair for Laser Physics at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. The researchers sent intense laser pulses onto a tiny nanowire made of gold. The ultrashort laser pulses excited vibrations of the freely moving electrons in the metal. This resulted in electromagnetic »near-fields« at the surface of the wire. The near-fields oscillated with a shift of a few hundred attoseconds with respect to the exciting laser field (one attosecond is a billionth of a billionth of a second). This shift was measured using attosecond light pulses which the scientists subsequently sent onto the nanowire.
May 12, 2016Laser pulses: conductors for protons
pressrelease — Light can conduct the play of atoms and molecules in the microcosm. Humans manage to interfere with this play. Researchers from the Laboratory of Attosecond Physics (LAP) of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität(LMU) and from the Department of Chemistry at the LMU have now used light to reconfigure hydrocarbons. Using ultrashort laser pulses they removed an outer hydrogen atom from one side of a hydrocarbon molecule and directed it to the opposite side, where it reattached. The method could be used in the future to synthesize new substances by controlling chemical reactions.
September 22, 2015Laser Pulses For Cancer Detection
pressrelease — Scientists often need to detect and measure levels of specific substances in a sea of irrelevant molecules, and infrared light offers an ideal tool for this task. Infrared radiation is invisible to the human eye, but molecules react with mid-infrared light in ways that are extremely sensitive to their precise atomic structure. This provides a means of identifying with great specificity molecular solutes present in very low concentrations. Lasers that generate light in the mid-infrared range suitable for use in molecular sensors are therefore the subject of intensive research. Now teams from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) and the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), in collaboration with the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona, have developed a unique source of coherent radiation for this purpose.
July 16, 2015First isolated attosecond pulses in Saudi-Arabia
short report — The science of ultrashort metrology in the Attosecond Science Laboratory (ASL) in Riyadh picks up speed. The German/Saudi-Arabian team of physicists led by Prof. Ferenc Krausz and Prof. Abdallah Azzeer produced as the first team in the Arabic World isolated attosecond pulses in the ASL laboratory of the King Saud University in Riyadh. A big success for ultrafast physics in Saudi-Arabia. Attosecond-short light flashes are used for taking photographs of electrons. The team plans to observe the dynamics of electrons in molecules in the time dimension of attoseconds in order to examine processes in molecules in photoemission. During photoemission electrons are knocked out of atoms by photons (i. e. by light). This process is a major cause of damages to living cells. Increased knowledge about photoemission is thus crucial not only for physics, but also for medicine.
June 12, 2015Spotlight on Early Cancer Detection with Lasers (ECDL) – workshop at MPQ Garching
short report — It would be tremendously beneficial to develop ways to detect and tackle cancerous development at a much earlier stage of the disease than is presently possible. Last week on June 11th and 12th 2015, a workshop was held at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) to discuss the latest advances, perspectives and challenges in the emerging research area of early cancer detection. The workshop served to discuss joint efforts by scientists from the fields of cutting-edge laser physics, cell biology, cancer medicine, biochemistry and bioinformatics from MPQ, Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), University of Innsbruck (Austria) as well as King Saud University (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). Joint inter-disciplinary efforts and new approaches are building a bridge between novel laser technologies and clinically relevant cancer detection. These collaborative efforts have the potential to provide a springboard to detect cancerous onset earlier than ever.
April 24, 2015New team member for the ASL in Riyadh – Dr. Nora Kling
short report — The King Saud University welcomed Dr. Nora Kling, postdoc at the LMU, as a new co-worker in the Attosecond Science Laboratory in Riyadh. Together with Wolfgang Schweinberger and her colleagues from the KSU she is now working on the first laser experiments. »The attosecond lab in Riyadh is top notch, so it is natural to want to be a part of it. It is great to have the opportunity to work with world class researchers at KSU and MPQ/LMU together in Saudi Arabia«, Nora Kling says, »I am gaining new experiences regarding light-matter interactions on ultrafast timescales as well as becoming more culturally connected to the world.«
April 18, 2015Seehofer visits the new attosecond laboratory in Riyadh
short report — During his visit to Saudi Arabia the Bavarian prime minister Horst Seehofer visited the King Saud University in Riyadh. After a short ride, leading through the whole campus, Seehofer went to the new Attosecond Science laboratory, which is run by the KSU in cooperation with the LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. Here, Saudi Arabian Scientists and their Munich colleagues will research the movements of electrons together. Seehofer was impressed by the complex fundamental research and the unique collaboration. LMU rector Prof. Bernd Huber and Prof. Badran A. Al-omar (rector of the KSU), joined many journalists and members of the delegation for Seehofer's visit to the lab, which lasted about half an hour.
February 18, 2015Ultrafast Photography in Saudi Arabia
pressrelease — Electrons cannot hide anymore – even in Saudi Arabia. On February 16th, 2015, the new »Attosecond Science Laboratory« will be inaugurated at the King Saud University in Riyadh. It is the first attosecond laboratory in the whole Arabic world and a product of the collaboration between the Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU) Munich, the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Garching, and the King Saud University (KSU) in Riyadh. Researchers from the three institutions will use the new facility to investigate electrons in motion.
February 17, 2015Attosecond Science Laboratory in Riyadh
short report — It's done - Nobel laureate Prof. Theodor Hänsch cut the ribbon and opened therewith the new Attosecond Science Laboratory in Riyadh. Here students are able to access high-class technology to develope and improve the research of attosecond physics. The ceremony was a big success and was highlighted by lectures of the three eminent scientists Paul Corkum, Gérard Mourou and Nobel laureate Theodor Hänsch.
May 8, 2014Light control of bond breaking in symmetric molecules
pressrelease — Chemical bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms are amongst the strongest in nature and their selective breaking, in particular in symmetric molecules, is of interest to chemical synthesis and the development of new biologically active molecules. An international team of scientists has now demonstrated that ultrashort light pulses with perfectly controlled waveforms can selectively break C-H bonds in acetylene ions. The researchers demonstrated that a suitable choice of the laser-pulse waveform leads to breaking of the C-H bond on the left (or right) side of the symmetric H-C≡C-H molecule. The scientists propose that their results can be understood by a new quantum control mechanism based on light induced vibration (Nature Communications, DOI:10.1038/ncomms4800).
March 1, 2014Workshop on »Early cancer diagnosis with laser light«
short report — Experts from KSU, LMU and the University of Innsbruck discussed new opportunities in early cancer diagnosis and treatment with next generation laser sources. The topics for future collaborative efforts include the development of the light sources, optical tools for breath analysis, in-vitro and in-vivo multi-photon fluorescence microscopy and nanoparticle mediated diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
January 12, 2014Solid-state light-wave detector
pressrelease — A team in the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics has taken another step toward the achievement of complete control over the waveform of pulsed laser light. Together with colleagues based at LMU and the Technische Universität München (TUM), they have constructed a detector which provides a detailed picture of the waveforms of laser pulses that last for a few femtoseconds (1 fs = 10-15 seconds). Unlike conventional gas-phase detectors, this one is made of glass, and measures the flow of electric current between two electrodes that is generated when the electromagnetic field associated with the laser pulse impinges on the glass. The researchers can then deduce the precise waveform of the pulse from the properties of the induced current. Knowledge of the exact waveform of the femtosecond pulse in turn makes it possible to reproducibly generate light flashes that are a thousand times shorter – lasting only for attoseconds (1 as = 10-18 sec) – and can be used to study ultrafast processes at the molecular and atomic levels (Nature Photonics, DOI:10.1038/nphoton.2013.348, January 12, 2014).
January 1, 2014Attosecond laboratory in Riyadh is taking shape
short report — The Department of Physics and Astronomy's Laboratory for Attosecond Physics at King Saud University is currently taking shape. The first tables for laser experiments were recently aligned in the cleanroom, the femtosecond laser-system has reached the University, and the beamline for the production of attosecond light-flashes and their application in basic research is also ready to be set up. From now on, the construction of scientific tools is taking place and by the end of 2014, the laboratory-infrastructure will be completed.

The Weekend Rent: Get Badass with 'The Chronicles of Riddick'
"The Weekend Rent offers quick-hit suggestions of what to watch at home to get psyched for new releases in theaters, on Friday."
The only new release opening wide in theaters this weekend is Riddick, the third chapter in The Chronicles of Riddick series featuring Vin Diesel as an escaped convict with a "shine job" on his eyes that allows him to see well in low light. It has been nine years since we last saw Riddick on-screen, and when we meet him again in the imaginatively titled Riddick, the muscle-bound antihero has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet populated by an alien race of predators that thrive when it rains. That's bad news for the mercenaries who come to the planet hoping to collect the bounty on Riddick's head.
Riddick is directed by David Twohy, who directed all three of the Chronicles of Riddick movies, starting with 2000's Pitch Black. That wicked little sci-fi creature feature was a breakout role for Diesel as an action antihero after appearing in Saving Private Ryan and voicing The Iron Giant. In Pitch Black, we meet Richard B. Riddick as he escapes from a spaceship that crash-lands on a planet that normally has no nighttime. When the survivors discover that an eclipse is approaching that will bring out nocturnal, carnivorous creatures that destroyed a whole community of previous explorers, the survivors reluctantly team up with Riddick in an attempt to make it off the planet. Like Riddick tells them, "All you people are so scared of me. Most days I'd take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you gotta worry about now." Riddick further proves how badass he is by hiding from them in plain sight while he has a drink and by shaving his head with a knife (a "personal grooming appliance"). An unrated director's cut of Pitch Black is available on DVD and Blu-ray.
The new movie Riddick shares more DNA with Pitch Black than its sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick (yes, the second movie confusingly has the same name as the series). Both Riddick and Pitch Black are R-rated sci-fi horror movies with monsters. The PG-13 The Chronicles of Riddick is a more ambitious sci-fi epic that expands the mythology of Riddick, who has been eluding bounty hunters for years. When he meets up with the holy man he rescued in Pitch Black in New Mecca on Helion Prime, we learn that Riddick is the last Furyan—a race of warriors thought to be extinct. This greatly interests the Necromongers, an evil race of religious fanatics who want to conquer Helion Prime and convert all of its denizens, including the last living Furyan. Diesel personally asked Judi Dench—an actress he greatly admires—to be in this movie, and she accepted, playing the role of a mysterious Air Elemental. Karl Urban also appears as one of the Necromongers, as does Thandie Newton. The Chronicles of Riddick is available in an unrated director's cut on both DVD and Blu-ray.
Although the Necromongers (and Karl Urban) do appear at the beginning of Riddick for continuity's sake, the new movie jettisons the mythology built up in The Chronicles of Riddick and reverts back to a hard-edged sci-fi horror show like Pitch Black. That movie came out 13 years ago, so if you only have time to see one movie before Riddick, rent Pitch Black. The Chronicles of Riddick will excite those who geek out for the Riddick character, but casual fans can skip it and go right to Riddick in theaters without getting too lost.
Both Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick are available on DVD and Blu-ray as well as various VOD services.

Restoring Neck and Shoulder Ease through Supta Virasana Variations
I'm fascinated by cultures where heavy loads are carried effortlessly by the crown of the head, by a well aligned crown. Like the ancient Egyptian water carriers, these loads can be carried for miles in this manner. The typical westerner, sitting at a desk or in their car most of the day, bent over their electronics, might even think this would be a terrible practice for the neck and shoulders. I disagree.
The common postural dysfunction in our culture is not only forward head and shoulders, but habitually flexed hips! Remember my recent post on Lower Crossed Syndrome? https://wordpress.com/post/60000531/911/
If I want to find ease in opening the chest and shoulders that is sustainable and authentic, I will have to soften and open the guarding belly as well as the anterior hips. Through working with the low belly and hips, we create a balanced and stable base upon which the upper body balances beautifully.Your hamstrings will thank you as they will no longer have to fight to hold your pelvis upright.
The upper body is not independent of the lower body! There is an interdependence of the whole of you! Because of that, finding my way to Supta Virasana is a gentle process of opening that can easily take 15 minutes.
It's the postural antithesis to how we are positioned most of the day. Without that ease, you can understand why it is one of the most avoided asanas in Yoga and why people hurt themselves attempting this without adequate time and intention. People come up with all kinds of reasons to avoid it. " My knees don't do that." " It hurts my back". Here's how Supta Virasana can become your best friend. Allow 15 minutes.
1. Center Yourself for 5 minutes:
2. The open back chair is your friend. As you position yourself, you are gently lifting the lower ribs onto the blanket so when the hips ease into the block you are sitting on, there is some traction instead of compression. Heels UP. Tops of feet press into the floor. 2 minutes.
3. Counter pose after each variation. This is vital to the prevention of injury. In Prasarita Padottanasana, I can position a block or 2 for my elbows to reach into. I'm spinning my thighs to the wall behind me and the feet are parallel to the short edges of my mat. Spine is long. 30 seconds
4. Progression #2: Use all props and deepen slowly. Be sure to strap the knees together. This adds boundary and safety to the shape, reducing any resistance in the body. With each deepening, if the shape doesn't feel restorative, the variation is too deep for you at this time.
5. Counter pose again for 30sec.(same as #3)
6. Progression #3: My hips are no longer on a block. I have moved the calf flesh away from behind my knees and I have secured a block between my thighs with the strap so my inner thighs can spiral down toward the ground. The heels remain UP. This wider leg variation gives greater space at the sacroiliac joints. Stay 2 minutes with your ujayi breath, switching the hold on the elbows after 1 minute.
7. Counterpose again 30 sec. (same as #3 or deeper)
8. Twist with props: Inhale to elongate the spine first and exhale keeping that length into the twist. 30 seconds on each side.
9. Restore: 5 minutes
The effect is well worth the time spent mindfully exploring Supta Virasana. By opening the psoas, rectus femoris and the low belly in this way, we are creating a balanced pelvis. This naturally brings ease and balance not only to the upper body and neck, but this more balanced position of the pelvis creates a spacious, natural position of the femoral head in the acetabulum (hip socket) thus reducing anterior shearing caused by tightness in the iliopsoas. These backward bends are invigorating and deliver a beautiful feeling of bliss and well being when done slowly and mindfully. There really IS a comfortable and safe Supta Virasana for you, your knees and your back.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to complete my dissertation work as a Martin Marty Junior Fellow. My dissertation research uses mixed methods to investigate motivations for individuals from predominantly secular, upper-middle class, Jewish backgrounds becoming Ba'alei Teshuvah, or newly Orthodox Jews. The dissertation shows that there is a prevalent and compelling achievement narrative experienced by many mainstream Jews in America. This narrative has created a collective identity through which American Jews see themselves as an extremely gifted and accomplished people and, further, has given rise to a highly pressured culture of achievement that proves to be problematic for some. I argue that some "return" to Orthodoxy as a way of negotiating the tensions wrought by the perceived achievement expectations of this culture. Over the course of the year I plan to complete my dissertation. I am very much looking forward to participating in the Marty Center Seminar. Throughout my graduate education some of my most profound and engaging educational experiences have been during my participation in conferences and workshops, both as a presenter and as an audience member/attendee. The input and feedback from colleagues, particularly those from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, has deepened my understanding of my own research and of my scholarship generally. Over the last years, as I have embarked on my dissertation research and writing, the most common substantive interactions with others regarding my work has involved answering "probing" questions such as, "But Mommy, how come there aren't any pretty pictures in the book you're writing?!" As much as I value my kids' contributions, I am excited by the opportunity afforded by the fellowship to reengage in the academic community and share my work, and I am eager to learn from my peers.

Chalk Paint Painted Desk
I just ordered my first can of chalk paint and I've been super excited for it to arrive so I can start using it. After seeing this beautiful desk painted with chalk paint I'm even more thrilled. I dislike sanding and I'm low on patience, so primer always felt like it took too long. Chalk paint's promise of no sanding and no priming necessary, really captured my attention. I can't wait to give this paint a try.
This particular tutorial does a great job walking through the steps of using chalk paint. And I love the transformation this desk went through. I particularly love the use of the twirling stencil to add a touch of feminine contrast to the white desk. Perhaps I'm going to need to buy another can of chalk paint!

My mom is the best.
Coming back to my parent's house one Sunday morning, she had a familiar pink box on the counter. Many families on a Sunday morning see a pink box on the counter and think one thing: donuts.
"Kristine. You have to try one. It tastes like butter. I drove all the way to San Francisco to get them," she said.
I opened up the pink box and there were layers and layers of buttery, flaky hopia pieces, sitting primly in white cupcake liners. On the top, scattered over these perfectly lined confections: five bulging meat empanadas, looking homemade and awesome. Usually, empanadas look so perfect they look unreal, the dough braids that close these pastries are absolutely seamless. These empanadas looked like they were put together by real hands.
"Put one in a ziplock before you go," my mom motioned. "They are so good."
And yes, Mom — if you're reading this, they were.
I woke up the next morning to the familiar darkness of all my mornings. I put one on a miniature plate and poured myself a pot of dark coffee and was in heaven. I know that with many people, they have trouble acquiring the taste for bean-based desserts. But there's something so calming about an Asian bean dessert. The mixture of textures: flaky to creamy, the gritty but surprisingly sweet bean that you discover on the inside. Even the little mess that you make while eating it is like the mess you get from eating a croissant. You don't care if little fragments go everywhere — you are reveling in rich, buttery heaven. The dryness of the pastry and the togetherness and moist quality of the beans is an exciting contrast.
I hope everyone is lovely, I am sending positive energy to you all. The school year has started so I'm in a whirlwind again but still finding times during my day to fit in food writing and reading. I don't know how I'm doing it…every single second in my day counts, and has value. But I'm happy and feel like I'm slowly picking at something much grander…hoping to catch up with you all soon.

Microlab M1910, 5.1 Speaker System Review
Performance and Testing
Published: 22nd April 2014 | Source: microlab | Price: 79.99 |
Performance and Testing
As the microlab M1910 is intended for both PC and home cinema use we will be testing it with a variety of inputs and with a varienty of media.
PC test set up. Intel i7 3960X, Gigabyte X79 UD3 Corsair Vengeance LP Memory Corsair HX850 V2 Corsair Force GT 60GB Coolermaster Storm Trooper. The M1901 was attached directly to both the analogue and digital outputs of the motherboard and tested with a variety of music, video and games.
Home Cinema Set up. Samsung BD-F5500 3D Blue-ray player. The M1910 was connected by SPDIF to the player and a variety of films and music played.
We listened to and viewed a large selection of music and media before selecting familiar tracks with which to make our judgements on the systems performance. For those wishing to reproduce the testing for comparative purposes the following media was used.
Massive attack Mezzanine Track 1 Angel. The system should be able to differentiate between the bass signals at the beginning of the track while still be able to pick out the mid and high frequency sounds such as the glockenspiel/wood blocks used at the start of the track.
Underworld, Underworld, Track 13 Born Slippy. All elements of the mixed percussion should remain separate and distinct.
Kylie Minogue Fever, Track 3 Can't get you... The system should be able to clearly differentiate between the low, mid and high range frequencies.
Beethoven fuer elise. The test system should be able to clearly differentiate the high frequencies of the piano chords, whilst at the same time maintaining the flowing movement of the music.
Saving Private Ryan, Opening Beach landing scene. The system should be able to accurately place the movement of Gunfire around the listening position.
Star Wars Episode III, Opening Space battle scene. The System should be able to accurately track the movement of the space craft around the listening position. The Explosions should carry both weight and direction. Speech should be clearly distinguishable.
Apocalypse Now. Air assault on the village. The Music (Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie), should be deep and clear whist at the same time allowing the listener to identify and individual gunshots explosions and speech.
World of Warplanes. The test set up should be able to clearly identify the movement of aircraft around the listening position. Gunfire and explosions should carry weight and differentiation.
BF3. The test system should be able to clearly differentiate the location and direction of gunfire. Explosions should be deep yet still crisp and defined.
We tested the M1910 with the pure audio tracks first and found it surprisingly musical out of the box and able to project a decent stereo image. In particular, the sat speakers handle mid and high tones very well indeed. At low to medium volume levels. the system copes well with little adjustment to levels required. Cranking up the volume however necessitated a bit of time spent balancing the output of the Sub as it had a tendency to dominate. This is fine if you like your music bass heavy, but thankfully adjustable in five positive and negative increments if you prefer your tympanic membranes intact at the end of a listening session. On the whole the system coped well with all the music thrown at it, with the only caveat being that at the very highest volume levels (for some strange reason the max volume level is numbered 32) the bass became quite muddled, perhaps due the to ninety degree angled bass port, or perhaps just because we were reaching the limits of the system.
Turning to video, whether on the desktop or positioned for home cinema use, we were again pleased with the performance of the M1910. Having taken the time to carefully position the speakers and set the levels to suit the listening position we proceeded to put it through its paces. The opening "Beach assault" sequence to Saving Private Ryan was first on the menu An accurate sound stage is crucial to the overall effect of this scene and we're pleased to say the M1910 passed this test with aplomb, being able to totally immerse us in the action. The system was also equally adept when tested with the other two titles, with the sub bashing out the Explosions and low end whump of the Hueys in Apocalypse now while the sats took care of the "crack crack" of gun fire.
Finally the Gaming test. Again having taken time to set the system up properly we were pleased with the results. The M1910 was able to accurately plot the movement of sound around the listening position, giving a feeling of much greater feeling of immersion than standard stereo. The 5.1 set up left us with the feeling of having a slight edge over players using conventional Stereo set ups.
We think it's worth pointing out that size of the M1910s satellite speakers ultimately limits its ability to fill a large room with sound. On the desk top it's excellent. In a smallish lounge, dorm room or bed room it's also fine and certainly better than the speakers found in your TV our any soundbar on the market. Stick it in a decent sized lounge though where by necessity the speakers will need to be further apart and it starts to struggle to fill the space. Putting the speakers too far apart causes them to become sonically and spatially isolated

Searching for a new car online
Is it time to buy a new car? One of the best ways to find it is to use the internet – but it helps to know a few useful tips before you get started.
Is it time to buy a new car? One of the best ways to find it is to use the internet – but it helps to know a few useful tips before you get started.
If you're looking to add a bit of glamour to your love life, try celebrating the beauty of your body by dressing it in unashamedly provocative undergarments that are sure to stimulate the senses and set pulses racing. Instigate a little rough and tumble by showing off your best assets in exquisite, erotic lingerie that guarantees good times ahead. To make life a bit easier here are a few hints and tips on what to wear to flatter your shape and ensure you feel your beautiful best.
Whether you are experiencing hard times or in the midst of a money-flush, it is always a good idea to plan for the future – because who knows what it may bring.
When you want to purchase a new vehicle for whatever reason there are some very important factors to consider before deciding, from timing and making the right choice to how you're going to finance the deal.
London's architecture could never be accused of being dull. From the historic landmarks of Big Ben and The Tower of London, to the more modern London Eye and Millennium Dome, there's plenty to appreciate.
Most people in the UK are familiar with the word mortgage; but how many know exactly what the word means and how mortgages work?
The word mortgage is derived from the French language and literally means "dead pledge". It was based on the fact that early mortgages were settled upon death, at which point the obligation to the lender ended – either because it was fulfilled or the property was repossessed.
Above everything else, the seaside town of Blackpool is famous for its illuminations. Here's why you don't want to miss out on them.
Your house is the best shelter for your pet dog. However, if you are no longer comfortable with your dog inside your house and sometimes is not possible to share the space with your dog, a dog house would be an option.
In times of economic slowdown it's easy to get dragged down by the drudgery of credit crunch conditions. There is always something you can do in order to improve your own credit situation so don't lose faith just yet.
Yes, If You Use Your Own Prayer Language.
Do you struggle praying daily?
I did. For years.
But no matter what I felt, I prayed anyway. That was the "teaching" and "rule" for good Christians like me.
So each day, I went into my room and talked to God.
30 minutes, I was taught. So 30 minutes I did.
Some days, it was Ok.
Some days, it was like being root-canalled.
Or lipo-suctioned. (Just in case you're wondering, I've never experienced it, but my friends tell me it's torture.)
During those difficult days of prayer, every part of me wanted to get out of that room. I felt so dry. So empty. So distant from God.
And I didn't know why. Why did I feel so depressed?
I simply concluded it was the spiritual dryness that saints experienced regularly (Ahem.) I read that St. Therese of Avila had spiritual dryness that lasted for 20 years. Who was I to complain?
Until I stumbled upon what I now call "Prayer Language".
Today, I realize that perhaps many people's spiritual dryness come from simply not loving themselves. How? By not respecting their own personality, not listening to their needs, and not using their own prayer language.

It took me a beat or 2 to figure out a workaround for not having the xxx.vmx file for level 4. It would appear that VMWare Player does not make it easy to create a new VM from the vmdk alone. This may be obvious to most folks but I figured that I would send it along anyway.
The following should work for folks running VMWare Player.
- Linux <hostname> 2.6.32-41-generic #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 1311:44:43 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- VMWare Player 4.0.2 build 591240
- Download and unpack Kioptrix level 3.
- Download and unpack Kioptrix level 4
- cd to the directory containing the unarchived kioptrix level 3 files
- cp the vmx file to a new level 4 directory
> cp KioptrixVM3.vmx /<dir>/Kioptrix4_vmware.vmx <--- be sure to place this in the same directory as the "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmdk" file.
- cp the vmxf file to a new level 4 directory
> cp KioptrixVM3.vmxf /<dir>/Kioptrix4_vmware.vmxf <--- be sure to place this in the same directory as the "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmdk" file.
- edit the "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmx" file. Edit the following parameters to read as follows.
displayName = "kioptrix-4"
ide0:0.fileName = "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmdk"
extendedConfigFile = "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmxf"
- edit the "Kioptrix4_vmware.vmxf" file. Edit the following parameter.
<vmxPathName type="string">Kioptrix4_
- the VM should now boot normally and grab an IP. Mine booted in about 25 seconds and grabbed x.x.x.136
- nmap reported several services up and running and the web page displayed.

I have finally finished another project!
I suppose that this is the part that I'm expected to apologize yet again for my absence in writing, but quite frankly no one wants to read: "Dear Blog, I knitted two rounds today, sorry you can't tell that I've made any progress. The end." So I'm going to skip that garbage and just say, I'll update you to new movements. I'm moving newly, so here I am.
The Rebecca sweater is FINISHED!
Project: Cropped Sweater, Rebecca Magazine
Yarn: Elzabeth Llavold Cotton Patine
Amount Used: 6.75 Balls
Color: Maroon
Needle Size: 6
Time: Two Months
Notes: This is a highly altered version of the pattern. I made it to fit how I thought it would best stuite me, now that I'm wearing it there are a few other minor changes that I would make, but I still love love love it!
So as I sat on my couch for seemingly hours soaking up the seasons of Sex and the City as if they were the meat and potatoes of my life seaming my sweater when it was finally over I did that thing that I firmly believe that all good knitters do at the end of a big project:
1. I held it up and looked at it proudly.
2. Threw it and the needles back in my lap.
3. Sighed a HUGE sigh of relief.
4. Leaned my head against the back of the couch soaking up the previous moments.
5. Sat up jarred and proclaimed loudly "What's next?!"
The answer was looming over my head, it had been for months, five months to be exact. Though I walked into the other room, printed off the Juliet pattern and wound three hanks of Malabrigo and begin casting on, I knew that I was cheating…again…
The husband caught me and scolded me. I had promised to knit a baby blanket for someone that i didn't know. They are paying me of course, but still, the idea of a knit baby blanket sort of seemed to dig at my core. After a day on ravelry and hours walking around AC Moore I saddled up, bought the organic cotton yarn and cast on. In less than a week I am nearly done with the blanket that I thought was going to be hell. And I'm loving it! If the parents don't like it I'll keep it! It's groovy! It's perfect! I choose the pinwheel pattern and was inspired by a blanket that resembled a beach umbrella and then I just used some colors that were fitting for a growing baby boy. Here's what I've got!
I'm thinking that in the end it'll be about three and half feet in diameter. It seems to be a fairly good size for a baby. Three strips in the green and three in the brown since three is the perfect number. I think it's so cute and I should be done and sighing on my couch in the next few days…if work doesn't kill me first that is.
Side note, I got a job as a barista at Starbucks, not glamerous, but challanging enough, and I'm to be put on management track, so I'm not horrified. Anyway, they seem to like to suddenly schedule me for a lot of 5am shifts! Hooray! Because I love mornings (um…yeah…no)! Oh well, guess I'll learn!
Anyway, that's not what this is about. Until the next sigh of relief…knit on!

[toggle Title="Why use a hard money lender, why not go to a bank?"]Banks and Conventional Lenders do not lend to individuals to rehab investment properties. You can get a 203K or construction to permanent loan, but theses are for owner occupied properties only.[/toggle]
[toggle Title="Where do you lend?"]The Hampton Roads, Virginia area. Lending areas may change, as the real estate market moves.[/toggle]
[toggle Title="Why are hard money loans more costly than bank loans?"]The easy answer is that a bank won't do an investment property rehab loan, so expense is not an issue. With that said, the reason Hard Money Lenders are more costly is because the loan is considered a high risk loan. A Hard Money Loan carries so many variables, most importantly, the lender is loaning you money off the future (ARV) value of the property. If you default on the loan, it is very difficult, costly and time consuming for the lender to try to recapture their principle loan amount.[/toggle]
[toggle Title="Every company I call wants a loan application fee, due diligence fee or something I have to pay for upfront. What are your upfront fees?"]Zero, Nothing, No Gimicks, No Bait and Switch, Nothing! When we work together on a deal, it is a partnership. We don't collect or make any money on the loan until the end. We roll our points and your six months of interest payments into the loan. We don't make our fees until your property is sold or refinanced. The only thing you will have to pay for, before we close on the loan is an appraisal and credit check fee. Theses are both paid directly to a third party and we do not collect any of these fees.[/toggle]
[toggle Title="How and when do I get the money to pay for the construction?"]We pay you directly out of an escrow account. We work off of a weekly draw schedule. Draw requests are required to be made by 5pm on Wednesday of each week. If a draw is submitted, the property will be inspected on Thursday and payment for work completed will be available Friday after 2pm. We only pay for work completed. We do not make advance payments or pay for materials in advance.[/toggle]
[toggle Title="How is the value of the property determined?"]The value is determined by a third party, independent appraiser. The appraisal will do a 'subject to' appraisal that will generate a ARV (After Repair Value). In order to complete this, you will need to provide the appraiser with a scope of work for the property and meet the appraiser at the property the day of the appraisal.[/toggle]

The ThorFRAC extreme overbalance CT stimulation system is a way of shocking coalbed methane formations to produce longer, cleaner perforations without damaging the coal. This novel method minimizes both the cleat damage that can lead to fluid recovery problems and the complex fracture behavior that can cause excessive near-wellbore pressure.
The ThorFRAC system combines coiled tubing and fracturing technology using specially designed bottomhole assemblies. Similar to the conventional approach, a CT string and straddle tool are used to isolate separate perforation intervals. The tool has a multiset release valve built in to allow nitrogen pressure to be stored in the CT string.

New England braces for Nor'easter; rainy week ahead in Palm Beach
It may be a wet week for much of the Florida peninsula. (Image credit: NOAA)
An explosive low pressure system originating in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico on Monday and Tuesday may make for a wild weather week, not only up the U.S. East Coast and New England but in Florida as well.
Once the storm is fully cranked up, pressures could be as low as 960 mb, the National Weather Service said, making it one of the more formidable Nor'easters on record. But because of the timing of the intensification and the positioning of the low in relation to the coastline, forecasters are still hedging their bets on how bad things might get for the Mid-Atlantic States, New England, and Atlantic Canada.
Odds are that most the action in terms of snow will be focused north of the Mid-Atlantic States. But meteorologists for the commercial forecasting service AccuWeather are calling for a "spring blizzard" in Eastern New England on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
NWS forecasters in Boston predicted winds of over 60 mph off-shore of Nantucket on Wednesday with snow and visibility of one nautical mile or less.
Beyond that, they said computer forecast models "are in two distinct camps" regarding the track of the "explosively deepening ocean storm Tuesday night." The GFS (NWS service's main forecast model) predicts heavy snow for Cape Cod, but the European model forecasts "an epic snowstorm/ blizzard for Eastern New England."
Analysts said it's still too early to predict what, if any, travel delays may be caused by the system.
Meanwhile, NWS forecasters in Miami have been ratcheting down Wednesday's expected high in Palm Beach, as cold air pours into the peninsula from the backside of the low. They said it would only reach 69 with gusty north winds, making for a day that would even feel cold in South Florida in mid-January. Tuesday night's forecast low was 61.
The last time it failed to hit at least 70 at Palm Beach International Airport was Feb. 14, when the high was 69. The coldest maximum temperature for March 26 is 65 degrees, a mark set in 1969.
The Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic — and even parts of the Carolinas — won't see many positives from the developing Nor'easter. But the upcoming week promises to deliver some needed rain to South Florida, particularly from Palm Beach north, according to graphical forecasts.
Rain chances in Palm Beach rise to 40 percent on Monday, then remain at 60 percent Monday night and Tuesday before dropping to 50 percent Tuesday night. The two-day shot of cold weather will dry things out, but rain chances jump again to 30 percent to wind up the week on Friday, NWS forecasters in Miami said.
Saturday's rainfall totals didn't put much of a dent in the area's March precipitation shortfall. PBIA reported 0.04 of an inch of rain Saturday, boosting the monthly total to 0.70 of an inch, still 2.55 inches below normal for this point in the month. The same amount fell in Miami while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport reported 0.55 of an inch, the highest regional total.
The South Florida Water Management District's graphical forecast shows about three-quarters of an inch of rain falling in and around Palm Beach on Tuesday. And the NWS' Weather Prediction Center shows some impressive seven-day rain totals — perhaps up to 2 inches — in Palm Beach up through Central Florida through next weekend.

For many years the British Board of Agrément has issued Agrément Certificates for cavity wall insulation and these, together with the related BBA Approved Installer Scheme, have provided high levels of assurance in respect of the some six million cavity wall insulation installations carried out over the past 20 years.
The BBA is continually looking to learn from experience and use those lessons to improve outcomes for the industry and consumers. With regard to the retrofitting of cavity wall insulation it is clear that, in some cases, consumer confidence is being undermined by the perception that insulation is being installed into properties which are unsuitable.
To seek improvement in this area and to increase consumer confidence, the BBA has developed a Cavity Assessor Surveillance Scheme (CASS®) covering Property Assessors. CASS® will check at the beginning of the process the suitability of properties proposed by Property Assessors for cavity wall insulation, and will provide independent third-party validation of suitability.
The costs of providing this additional level of consumer reassurance will be borne by the industry, not by the consumer, with the BBA ensuring a seamless process. Having liaised with the industry, DECC and the Guarantee Providers, we know that the major stakeholders are fully supportive of CASS® and we are confident that, in many cases, a successful CASS® check will become a requirement for the issuing of guarantees.
What does it mean for CWI property Assessors?
Cavity wall property assessors working for companies that are using other BBA approved products or utilising a CIGA guarantee will be required to have all property assessments verified by the BBA property assessment staff. This new scheme is scheduled for introduction in April 2017.
What does it mean for householders?
The Cavity Assessment Surveillance Scheme is being introduced by the BBA in an attempt to ensure that the property assessor who carries out a property service on a home does so against a strict set of requirements. Experienced BBA staff will determine if the property assessment satisfies the requirements which need to be in place for the successful installation of cavity wall insulation. Only BBA approved property assessments will qualify for CIGA guarantees.
For further information on CASS® and related matters, please telephone 01923 665322 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

In what will be basically the warm-up act for the 2013 European Pirate Summit, which will be held on August 26-27 in Cologne, the Pirates On Shore: The Balkans event will be held next week at betahaus in Sofia and will attract Sitar Teli (Managing Partner at Connect Ventures) and some other speakers which have yet to be confirmed. Even if you don't come for the speakers, this event, which will be held from 6-9pm on July 29, should attract some of the leading figures in the Bulgarian startup community and this represents another chance to network and mingle. This event is organized in part by LAUNCHub, which we have written about on a handful of occasions and which has become one of the leading accelerators and investors on the Bulgarian startup scene.
The event is completely free, but only with a pirate promo code. In order to get the code, you'll need to contact them through the Facebook page for the event or by asking a local "pirate". There are only 100 tickets available, so those interested should not wait too long to act. Once you get the code, you can go here and pick up your ticket. Like a lot of conferences, there will not only be the opportunity to network and mingle, but to pitch your startup. One of the purposes of this Pirates On Shore event is to pre-select startups which will be pitching at the main Pirates On Shore event in Cologne.

Q: "After updating PASSWORD for my Comcast email account the stock Note 5 email program fails to send Outgoing email failing because of PASSWORD.
Change/update PASSWORD in the SETTINGS section of the email app, click DONE, app appears to then check both incoming and outgoing server successfully.
Review WITHOUT CHANGING the SETTINGS section, click DONE and incoming server passes but outgoing FAILS. Reenter password in two locations and, again, incoming and outgoing pass. Review and again click DONE and, again, outgoing fails.
Obvious the changed/new password isn't getting stored/retrieved correctly.
Samsung says reset/reload app OR install Comcast app. WHAT**?"
A: The outgoing server failed to authenticate your account and your email client a few times already. Did it ever occur to you that may the outgoing server settings are incorrect? Whatever Samsung rep told you, I'm with it but it seems you didn't understand it quite well. So, here goes…
#1: The reset means you have to clear the cache and the data of the Email app. This will remove your Comcast account forcing you to setup your email again. However, you will lose all your email messages especially when you've setup your account using POP3 server type. Here's how you clear the cache and data…
- From the Home screen, tap the Apps icon.
- Find and tap Settings.
- Under the 'APPLICATIONS' section, find and touch Application manager.
- Swipe to the left or to the right to display the appropriate screen but to display all apps, choose the 'ALL' screen.
- Find and tap Email.
- Tap Clear Cache.
- Tap Clear Data, then OK.
#2: That's right, Comcast also has its own email client and you can download it from the Play Store. It's name is XFINITY Connect. Go search for that app and download. But if you may ask why you have to download it, well, it's from Comcast and it bears the correct server settings already. All you need to do is enter your username and password and you should be ok.
Q: "Today around 1:30 EDT both of my gmail accounts popped up and said failed to sign in. when I click the message I receive:
- That's an error
Error: disabled_client
The OAuth client was disabled
There's also data under the request details pointing back to Google sites. Thinking I could fix this I deleted one of the gmail accounts, but when I try to add it back I get the same message when i tap the password field. Now I can't add a gmail account and the gmail account won't sync that I have on there. I've tried on and off WiFi and I've rebooted many times. Oh and I'm using the default mail app. Thanks, David."
A: It's an issue with Google's servers and it's been happening for a few days already. Some owners that encountered it said theirs was fixed on its own confirming that it's a server issue. There were, however, some who said that turning off sync for a few minutes and turning it back on would trigger servers to authenticate your account. Once you enter your password, everything will be back to normal again. Try that or wait it out. I understand you may be waiting for some important messages but there's nothing we can do about it really.
Q: "I recently had the new Marshmallow update on my Note 5 and since the update my FB app will not show current posts. Anything that is posted today will not show until tomorrow. I've Cleared the Cache, Uninstalled/re-installed the app, and turned on/off my phone and it still will not work, it does however work on my tablet. Will I need to take it in to T-mobile for support, or is there a fix that I can do myself? Have others had this issue?"
A: I don't know if you're referring to your own Facebook account's wall or a page's timeline but either way, try to check your settings to see if posts are scheduled to be posted in the future. Also, T-Mobile will just refer you to Facebook so better contact FB regarding this matter. However, before you do that, I suggest you backup your data and do the master reset as the rep would definitely ask you to reset your phone.
How to Master Reset Galaxy Note 5
- Remove your Google account and disengage the screen locks to make sure you won't trip the Factory Reset Protection (FRP).
- Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
- Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power keys together.
- When the device powers on and displays 'Power on logo', release all keys and the Android icon will appear on the screen.
- Wait until the Android Recovery Screen appears after about 30 seconds.
- Using the Volume Down key, highlight the option, 'wipe data/factory reset' and press the Power key to select it.
- Press the Vol Down button again until the option 'Yes — delete all user data' is highlighted and then press the Power key to select it.
- After the reset is complete, highlight 'Reboot system now' and hit the Power key to restart the phone.
Q: "OK Google come up and recognizes voice search 100% of the time. It then displays 'Offline Check your connection' 100% of the time. On wireless or not, this is consistent the FIRST time. Clicking on 'retry' works about 75% of the time. Providing feedback has not make a difference, 100% of the time."
A: Well, most of time, it's a connection issue. The first thing you should do if you're connecting to a Wi-Fi network is to "Forget" that network from your phone and let it scan and reconnect to it. If this problem occurred just recently after an update, then wiping the cache partition may fix it:
- Turn off your Galaxy Note 5.
- Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume Down key to highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
- Press the Power key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
Q: "Since I got the phone update, I haven't been able to update any apps from Google Play Store. I get that error code. I have plenty of phone space, and tried using wifi and my network, still get error code 495. I've restarted phone, tried download booster, cleared cache, stopped and started Google. still not updating apps in Google Play Store."
A: There are two thing you can do to try to fix Google Play Store error 495; first, clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store and Google Services Framework, or, second, remove your Google account from Play Store and add it again. I hope this helps.
- From the Home screen, tap the Apps icon.
- Find and tap Settings.
- Under the 'APPLICATIONS' section, find and touch Application manager.
- Swipe to the left or to the right to display the appropriate screen but to display all apps, choose the 'ALL' screen.
- Find and tap Play Store (Google Services Framework).
- Tap Clear Cache.
- Tap Clear Data, then OK.
Q: "Won't let me post or comment on Facebook posts. My phone tells me that is can't connect and to check my internet connection. Even though I'm connected to Wi-Fi."
A: It might be connected to a Wi-Fi network but it doesn't guarantee it has an internet connectivity especially if you're connecting to public hotspots. But assuming you're trying to connect to your own network at home, try to "Forget" your network on your phone and let it scan, detect and reconnect to it. That way, you can be sure you've entered the correct credentials. If the problem persists, however, then it must be an issue with your network and immediate thing you can do to try to fix this problem is to reboot your network equipment such as your router or modem.
Q: "My exchange emails and calendar do not synch properly, in real time, often taking 3-8 or more hours to synch. Curiously, this does synch best when I'm on "do not disturb", and it's 4-6 am. I've tried all your prior suggestions, – they have failed."
A: What suggestions? It could have been more helpful for us to determine what the issue is if you included what "suggestions" you already tried.
Syncing problems occur due to various reasons and internet connectivity is one of them. Have you verified your connection is stable and fast? How about the syncing frequency? Have you checked if it was set to sync at a certain amount of time? Have you tried setting up your exchange account to make sure all settings are correct? If all these failed, have you tried doing the master reset?
Q: "Since downloading Marshmallow my phone doesn't work with YouTube or the Google Play Store while connected to WiFi. It still works with 4G internet. I've tried a half dozen different WiFi connections (home, work, and places like Starbucks). My WiFi still works…just not for these. I can't update apps because of this issue."
A: So your phone's Wi-Fi was messed up and it's because of that update. Try wiping the cache partition first, it that fails, do the master reset. If that fails as well, then you need to contact your provider to have the firmware reinstalled. There's a chance the update was unsuccessful or it may have some corrupt files.
Q: "Three of the pre installed apps I like to use on the phone do not work correctly or at all. I have had to download a third party app in their place, but I prefer the pre installed apps.
1.Messages – does not allow me to attach anything (pix) to the text, I have to do it seperately.
2.Calendar – when I set up an appointment, it doesn't allow me to set reminders.
3.Gallery – it doesn't allow me to move pictures from one folder to another or at all."
A: When did these problems start? I'm certain they didn't occur for no reason at all that's why we're always looking for possible causes. But since you haven't included such information, let me answer your questions with ways I know would for these issues:
- For Messages that doesn't allow you to attach pictures, turn off VoLTE. Open the Phone app, tap More, scroll down to Settings, tap VoLTE and choose Do not us VoLTE.
- As to the Calendar that doesn't allow you to set reminders, back up all your appointments with Google Calendar and clear the cache and data of the Calendar app.
- About the Gallery that won't allow you to move pictures, well, you can do so using My Files. Or, you may want to clear the cache and data of the Gallery app as well.
Q: "After updating to Marshmallow, my "Messages" does not work. When opened it says "Refreshing …" but it never changes from that. I tried following the instructions on this page for clearing the cache but that did not work. Please help! Thanks."
A: This seems to be a common issue with the app after the Marshmallow. Fortunately, it can easily be fixed and all you got to do is clear its cache and data. It should work after that.
Q: "The new Marshmallow update states that WhatsApp will not work with the new update is that true, I use whatsapp extensively, please advise before I commit to the update."
A: I don't know where you've read that but WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps in the Play Store and behind it is a company and a group of developers that make sure it works the way it should. Now, tell me, if you're the developer of a particularly popular app, would you release an update to make sure your app works perfectly with the new version of Android?
But assuming it's true, it's just a matter of time before the developer rolls out an update to patch the incompatibility issue.

It is with heavy hearts that Marie's family announces the loss of our Mum. Marie was a woman of vision. She not only recognized, and appreciated, who people were, she saw who they could be, and then supported and encouraged them to reach that potential. She was involved in organizations assisting those who were, for whatever reason, less fortunate. She was a huge lover of all animals, ensuring that, even in the foulest weather, all the creatures in her care were well looked after. She believed in natural spaces and protecting our environment, living those beliefs on a daily basis.
Marie Hendrie was born inTimperley,Englandwhere she learned to love books, tree climbing and romps along the seashore with her parents and grandparents. She studied Commerce inManchester, and then went to "finishing school", as it was called then, inSwitzerland, before being called home just prior to the start of World War II.
During World War II Marie met the love of her life, Canadian Captain Dick (Richard Edward) LeSueur while he was on leave in Timperley. They married just before the end of the war, and Mum and Dad were life partners for 47 years until Dick passed away. Together they made homes inSarnia,Ontario, Corpus Christie,TexasandFortSaskatchewan,Alberta, as Dad took on various engineering positions, Mum got involved in community activities and together they raised a family. Mum's love of animals meant there were always pets in the household. When Mum and Dad moved from the Fort back toCamlachie,Ontario, the entourage included a truck, a car, 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2 horses and a foal. They settled into a century home on 50 acres, where Mum really got the animal raising bug. She was responsible for raising all manner of creatures including goats, geese, ducks, pigs, chickens and cattle. She fashioned a beautiful British garden around the house, a haven for multitudes of birds, bees, butterflies and other wild beasties. Mum always had a flair for the dramatic, and along the way won several amateur theatre awards for her acting and directing.
For her family, Marie was a wife, mother, teacher, listener, guidance counsellor, confidant, organizer, provider, disciplinarian, supporter, and most importantly, a friend. All of these characteristics created an amazing woman, and a legacy which has now been passed to her three children, Peggy, Kelvin (Alana), Richard (Kim) and two grandchildren, Anita (Aaron) and Colin (Michelle).
The poet Anna Hempstead Branch may have said it best about Mum: "God wove a web of loveliness, of clouds and stars and birds…And I am rich who learned from her, how beautiful they are. "
Mum was able to spend her last days at home surrounded by her family and all the beauty she and Dad had created.
A celebration of Marie's life will be held at Christ Church, Camlachie on Friday, June 8th at 2:00 P.M. As per Mum's wishes tea will be served afterwards. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any local community service, including the Animal Humane Society. Arrangements have been entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, Sarnia. Memories and condolences may be sent online at http://www.smithfuneralhome.ca/obits.php?id=2261
