"Where You Look Affects How You Feel"—The Foundational Insight of Brainspotting
At the heart of the Brainspotting method is the realization that where we look directly relates to what's going on in our brain.
Dr. Grand discovered this technique during a remarkable treatment session with a top-level figure skater. After observing his client's eyes reacting at a certain spot in her visual field when she spoke of her difficulty executing a particular jump, he asked her to focus on that one spot while processing her feelings. To his astonishment, the skater suddenly unearthed and worked through traumas that she'd never spoken of in her therapy—and since that day, she has been able to perform her jump flawlessly.
Expanding on that insight over the next decade, Dr. Grand has learned that the eyes have an intimate and precise relationship with the brain that works in both directions. He's found that when our eyes scan the visual field for information in our environment, they are simultaneously scanning the brain for our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and even the location of repressed memories and emotions.
In short: by carefully observing where a client's eyes focus, a therapist can gain a direct insight into what's going for that person at the neurological level—and use that insight to accelerate healing.
Learn About Brainspotting from the Founder of the Method
Since his discovery of Brainspotting, Dr. David Grand has refined and taught the method, using it with great success to benefit athletes, artists, business leaders, and survivors of traumas such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and active combat. The method is currently being taught and used in North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East—and is rapidly becoming recognized as a powerful synthesis of brain-based and traditional therapy.
In this online training course, you learn about many applications of Brainspotting directly from the founder of the method. Using an engaging combination of lecture, book-based insights, and demonstrations with members from a live audience, Dr. Grand will reveal the potential of Brainspotting to serve as a powerful supportive tool for almost any form of therapy.
Designed for therapists, their clients, and anyone interested in learning about this new therapeutic approach, the workshop begins with an overview of the practice and history of Brainspotting. Dr. Grand then turns our focus on how the method can be applied to mental health issues, especially trauma. He then presents the applications of Brainspotting to sports and creative performance, including demonstrations of Brainspotting-based coaching with an actor and an athlete.
"In the 10 years since we began using Brainspotting," Dr. Grand says, "we've come a long way in understanding how we can use our brain's natural scanning system to promote healing. I believe we've just scratched the surface of what's possible as we develop this method in new ways." With Brainspotting, you are invited to join this innovative therapist to learn how this powerful approach can enhance any system of therapy or psychological self-care to help spark rapid, effective healing and change.

Humility is so Grand Review by Kate
I took the on-line course after having Level I and II with Pie Fry. I thought it would be a concise review, but it was so much more. The demonstration with the sports trauma introduced so many new intuitive interventions. David's words touch my soul: "Integrate BSP with what you already know...the brain is integrative." "Relationship trumps technique."
I've heard some people complain that BSP does not have research behind it, like EMDR. To research a treatment method, you have to have a protocol. BSP is protocol-light, (unlike EMDR and CBT). I wonder why therapists don't trust their own results and why they need research proof. (Posted on March 18, 2015)

Review for Brainspotting Review by Hochima T
This introduction was just what I was looking for. I had started reading the book, but had a bit of trouble visualizing some of the moves. Or if listening to the alternating ears music how that related to the brainspot. Now I have a visual and know. Still more to learn on this, but this was a very good introduction.

Review for Brainspotting Review by lyndel m
Yes, it was a great taste of David's wonderful new trauma technique. For the cost of this online course, I thought it was good value for money. I do want to now read his book and become more proficient in the use of this powerful technique.
Kind regards

Review for Brainspotting Review by ruth k
I returned the program because I found some brainspotting work close to where I live but I want you to know that I was thoroughly pleased with the way my return was handled. All orders I have done through Sounds True has always been topnotch and I so appreciate working with this company. Ruth Kreibich (Posted on June 28, 2014)
Review for Brainspotting Review by Dr J B S
I am constantly looking for more effective ways to treat trauma. I have already used the information from these videos to apply the principles of brainspotting and have found it to be a very helpful tool in the arsenal against trauma. (Posted on June 24, 2014)
Review for Brainspotting Review by D G
Nice blend of lecture and demonstration (Posted on March 24, 2014)
Review for Brainspotting Review by Herb C
This was an amazing offer. I have now used Brainspotting and I am ready for deeper level training because the results are realy significant. There should be a disclaimer or warning that doing Brainspotting with trauma survivors requires a practitioner who is trained to handle and work with such emotionally raw and fragile individuals. Brainspotting opens material that could be dangerous if the recipoient is not proerly prepared. these trainings does not provide training in either trauma or preparation which should be a prerequisite for ethical application. I love David Grand , he is a wonderful teacher and a genius. (Posted on February 13, 2014)

Japan's IT Badboy 'Horiemon' Released on Parole
By Alexander Martin
After spending 21-months behind bars, Takafumi Horie, Japan's controversial one-time maverick entrepreneur, was released on parole Wednesday.
The former head of Livedoor Co., a hugely successful internet company that fell from grace in 2006 over a nationally publicized accounting scandal, wasted no time to enjoy the delights of the outside world.
"I was pretty busy with things to do after being released, so I decided to check-out McDonalds," Mr. Horie told a room packed with reporters at a press conference hosted by internet video sharing site Nico Nico Douga.
"It was tasty," he said, explaining he was still used to the bland meals served in prison, which helped him lose more than 60 pounds.
"I think I'll go eat some sushi next."
The outspoken 40-year-old was once a poster-boy for Japan's new generation of young entrepreneurs, rattling Japan's corporate old-guard with his Ferrari and celebrity lifestyle.
Nick-named "Horiemon" for his resemblance to "Doraemon," Japan's beloved robotic cartoon cat, Mr. Horie acquired something of a star-status with his former company's widely publicized but failed attempts to take-over the Fuji TVion and the Kintetsu Buffaloes baseball team. He even ran for a seat in parliament in a 2005 snap general election, losing to a rival by a relatively small margin.
While Mr. Horie apologized for the scandal, his drive and ambition seemed intact as he continued explaining his future plans, including overseeing his pet space travel project and launching an internet news site.
While Mr. Horie was imprisoned in June 2011 for a 30-month-term after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal against a conviction of accounting fraud, he continued to maintain an online presence through his popular digital magazine – which he wrote from his cell – and regular tweets that his staff posted on behalf of him. As of Wednesday, his Twitter account boasts nearly 930,000 followers.
But the year and a half he spent in the can may have brought at least some change in the man who was once Japan's most well-known daredevil businessman.
Asked what he thought about the recent surge in share prices, he had this advice to give investors:
"It's great that the economy seems to be improving…but all (economic) bubbles come and go – they all eventually burst."
"You shouldn't be investing everything you have, at least try to keep half of your assets risk-free."

Titans safety Bernard Pollard doesn't think there was anything wrong with his hit on Redskins wide receiver Aldrick Robinson as Robinson was stepping out of bounds during the preseason opener for both teams.
"I don't think so," Pollard said, via Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. "You have to look at for me, as a defender, I am already coming in and already going in to make the hit, so I don't see his other foot go out. He was inbounds and his other foot finally went out."
Pollard also said that he doesn't worry if the league fines him or not because he isn't going to change the way he plays the game. So there likely weren't any tears shed when he found out that the league has indeed gone ahead and fined him $10,000 for the hit, which was also flagged for unnecessary roughness during the game.
Pollard has been an outspoken critic of many rules the league has put in place as part of their effort to make the game safer and has been fined on several occasions in the past. He's playing for a new team this season, but there aren't many other differences from the Pollard of old.

Mogwai Band needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 171 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
"Burning", is the band Mogwai's concert film collaboration with Vincent Moon and Nathanael Le Scouarnac. Following it's release on August 24th (packaged with accompanying album Special Moves), there will be full screenings of the film in multiple locations around the US and Canada. This is a contest to design what will be the official poster for these screenings.
"This film, Burning, is just one of a thousand Mogwai concert films to have ever been made. No, in fact, tens of thousands. How many people have seen the Scots rock band play live since they formed in Glasgow in 1995? That many, anyway. From sci-fi dystopia to kitchen-sink drama, everyone who experiences this band in concert will make a brand new movie in their head every time.
Mogwai create their own instrumental soundtrack to the imagination, and it's up to us what we do with it. This isn't a band who tell us what to think, this is a band who show us how much we can feel.
For directors Vincent Moon and Nathanaël Le Scouarnec (REM: Supernatural Superserious; Take-Away Shows), the three night residency they recorded at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg in early 2009 presented itself as a modern urban noir thriller, a black-and-white journey which starts on the same electrifying New York streets Bernard Hermann scored for Martin Scorsese. Manholes hiss steam, taxi headlights flare in the camera lens and strangers wait in street corner shadows."
- David Pollock
Target audience for this is indie-rock music fans - both male and female – (18-35 years).
Artwork should complement Mogwai's aesthetic and album artwork for this film. This is most easily conveyed through their website (http://www.mogwai.co.uk/order/us/), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/mogwai) and in a clip from the film featuring "I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EfuLuN0VXs).
'Burning' is posed as an art house film with screenings at venues such as Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, San Francisco's Roxie Theater, Portland's Bagdad Theater, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, LA's Echoplex and Toronto's The Underground – the Drake Hotel.
The piece will serve as the screenings' memorabilia in years to come.
For more information about Mogwai and 'Burning' please visit:
$200 Cash, plus the triple EP, physical CD + DVD, Signed Poster and exclusive Mogwai t-shirt.
The final artwork must be attractive and compel screening attendees to purchase it.
Incorporate the following text:
• Mogwai
• Burning
• Directed by Vincent Moon and Nathanael Le Scouarnac \
• **Leave blank place for date, city and venue, as that will need to be continually changed, however you may use this for a place holder, if you please: August 24 Brooklyn, NY/Music Hall of Williamsburg

Extending the theme of personal testimony this morning a little further than it should go, I want to turn to the IDF Blog for a report you won't catch in the mainstream media:
On September 23, 2011, Asher Palmer, 25, was driving with his infant son, Yonatan, on Route 60 near Kiryat Arba. He was headed towards Jerusalem to visit his pregnant wife. Driving in the opposite direction was former Palestinian Authority security officer Waal al-Arjeh and his accomplice Ali Saadeh. As they crossed paths, al-Arjeh hurled a large rock that pierced the windshield of Asher's car, hitting him in the head and causing the car to crash on the side of the road. Asher and his son died upon impact.
This week, over a year and half after the incident, justice was finally served. Waal al-Arjeh was convicted of murder for the deaths of Asher and Yonatan in a military court. Among the counts against him were two counts of manslaughter, 22 counts of attempted manslaughter and three counts of hurling objects at moving vehicles. This historic ruling is unique – it is the first time a person has been convicted of murder for stone throwing and this could set the precedent for cases in the future.
The Jerusalem Post has more on the case here, noting that this former PA "security officer" was a pioneer of sorts. He will undoubtedly have a street or square or park within the domain of the Palestinian Authority named after him some time soon, for he is "the ringleader of a gang that developed this method to kill Jews. They had tried it many times before."
For illustrative purposes the IDF posts the video below with the comment: "Imagine if this were heading towards your windshield next time you were driving."

(3) Party. When the deponent is a party, service of the notice upon the party or his attorney shall have the same effect as a subpoena served on the party.

(No. 74) Question: Where a commission has been duly issued by the clerk of the court to a notary public for taking of an oral deposition, is the subpoena to obtain the presence of the witness to be issued by the notary public, to whom the commission has been issued, or else to be issued by the clerk of the court who issued the commission (to wit, the clerk of the court in which the suit is pending)?
Answer: We think the commission should be issued by the notary public in accordance with Article 3757 of the Revised Statutes, which was not repealed by the adoption of the rules. This article provides in substance that the officer (meaning the officer to whom the commission for taking of the oral deposition is addressed, which is defined in Rule 203, and which is old Article 3756, unchanged) "shall have the same power and authority to enforce the attendance of the witness and to compel him to testify, as in cases of written interrogatories." Under Rule 195 (which is old Article 3747, unchanged) the officer holding a commission for the taking of a deposition on written interrogatories has the authority "to issue a subpoena to the sheriff or any constable of the county requiring him to summon the witness to appear and answer interrogatories at the time and place named in the subpoena." The first part of Rule 201 reading:
"Any person may be compelled to appear and depose in the same manner as witnesses may be compelled to appear and testify in court… "
is cumulative of Article 3757 and does not relate particularly to the method of compelling the attendance of the witness, but rather defines the scope of the power of the officer over the witness as being that generally possessed by the court.
The question does not involve contempt proceeding for non-appearance and of course the opinion does not apply to that subject.

Introduction to Cephalopods
Cephalopods, the class of mollusks which scientists classify octopuses, squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses, can change color faster than a chameleon. They can also change texture and body shape, and, and if those camouflage techniques don't work, they can still "disappear" in a cloud of ink, which they use as a smoke-screen or decoy. Cephalopods are also fascinating because they have three hearts that pump blue blood, they're jet powered, and they're found in all oceans of the world, from the tropics to the poles, the intertidal to the abyss. Cephalopods have inspired legends and stories throughout history and are thought to be the most intelligent of invertebrates. Some can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks. They have eyes and other senses that rival those of humans.
The class Cephalopoda, which means "head foot", are mollusks and therefore related to bivalves (scallops, oysters, clams), gastropods (snails and slugs), scaphopoda (tusk shells), and polyplacophorans (chitons). Some mollusks, such as bivalves, don't even have a head, much less something large enough to be called a brain! Yet cephalopods have well-developed senses and large brains. Most mollusks are protected by a hard external shell and many of them are not very mobile. Although nautilus has an external shell, the trend in cephalopods is to internalize and reduce the shell. The shell in cuttlefish, is internal and is called the cuttlebone, which is sold in many pet shops to supply calcium to birds. Squid also have a reduced internal shell called a pen. Octopuses lack a shell altogether.
Cephalopods are found in all of the world's oceans, from the warm water of the tropics to the near freezing water at the poles. They are found from the wave swept intertidal region to the dark, cold abyss. All species are marine, and with a few exceptions, they do not tolerate brackish water.
Cephalopods are an ancient group that appeared in the late Cambrian period several million years before the first primitive fish began swimming in the ocean. Scientists believe that the ancestors of modern cephalopods (Subclass Coleoidea: octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) diverged from the primitive externally-shelled Nautiloidea (Nautilus) very early - perhaps in the Ordovician, some 438 million years ago. How long ago was this? To put this into perspective, this is before the first mammals appeared, before vertebrates invaded land and even before there were fish in the ocean and upright plants on land!
Cephalopods were once one of the dominant life forms in the world's ocean. Today there are only about 800 living species of cephalopods (compare that with 30,000 living species of bony fish, see FishBase). However, in terms of productivity, some scientists believe that cephalopods are still giving fish a run for their money.
Many species of cephalopods to grow very fast, reproduce over a short period of time, and then die. Scientists classify this weed-like life history as "r-selection" - the r refers to exponential growth. If you were to clear cut an oak forest, the first plants to grow would not be more oak trees - it would be weeds. In life history terms, cephalopods are the weeds of the seas. With over-fishing and climate change, there may be more biomass of cephalopods now than anytime in recent history.

Astros edge Pirates in 11 innings
Pittsburgh, PA – Matt Dominguez and J.D. Martinez drove in the deciding runs in the top of the 11th inning as the Houston Astros defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2, in the middle test of a three-game set at PNC Park.
Jose Altuve and Chris Carter each drove in one run for the Astros, who had lost seven of eight coming in. Jose Cisnero (1-0) earned the win after tossing 3 2/3 shutout innings of relief, while Jose Veras picked up his sixth save of the season with a perfect bottom of the 11th.
Mark Melancon blew a 2-1 Pittsburgh lead in the eighth, allowing Carter to tie the game with an RBI single. Bryan Morris (1-2) absorbed the loss after allowing both runs in the 11th as the Pirates had a four-game win streak snapped.
"We don't take anybody lightly," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "This goes to show you. There's guys in this clubhouse who are disappointed we didn't win tonight."
Morris served up a leadoff double to Jason Castro in the 11th, then intentionally walked Carlos Pena following a Chris Carter fly out. After both runners advanced on a wild pitch, Castro scored on Dominguez's fielder's choice to second to make it 3-2.
"A lot of those guys that were up, they were up more so for show," Houston manager Bo Porter said of his extra innings strategy. "It was one of those situations."
On the play, Castro appeared to just slip past a tag at home after Pirates second baseman Neil Walker fired a bullet attempting to throw him out. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle erupted from the dugout to argue the call and was immediately tossed from the game.
"I thought he was out, but I watched the replay and I was wrong." Added Hurdle.
The Pirates' chances for a comeback were dashed as well when Martinez pinch- hit for Cisnero and delivered an RBI single that scored Dominguez and gave the Astros a two-run advantage.
Houston trailed 2-1 in the eighth, but found success when Melancon came on to relieve starter A.J. Burnett.
Trevor Crowe and Altuve smacked back-to-back singles and Castro's fielder's choice put runners on first and third. Carter followed with a run-scoring single to left, knotting the game at 2-2.
Burnett tossed seven innings, yielding five hits and one run while fanning seven. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in each of his 10 starts this season, though his bullpen couldn't come through.
Erik Bedard allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out three over six innings for the Astros.
The Pirates opened up the scoring in the first thanks to consecutive two-out doubles from Andrew McCutchen and Gaby Sanchez, with Sanchez's two-bagger hitting off the wall in left and easily plating McCutchen for a 1-0 lead.
Houston finally got to Burnett in the fifth to tie the game at 1-1.
Altuve, who was activated off the bereavement list prior to the game, smacked a slow roller down the line with two outs and runners on first and third. Brandon Inge couldn't handle the ball, allowing the visitors to even the game.
Inge made up for the mishap one inning later with a two-out, RBI single to left that scored McCutchen to give the Pirates a 2-1 lead.
Allowing only one run in the frame was a small victory for Bedard, though, as the Pirates started with runners on second and third with no outs. The lefty forced Sanchez to pop out and Russell Martin to ground into a fielder's choice before Inge' single.
He ended the threat by retiring Walker, who fouled out to first.
Game Notes
The Astros optioned infielder Jake Elmore to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for Altuve ... The Pirates were 18-0 this season when leading after seven innings.

VRI Fencing Club necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 191 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
VRI fencing club
VRI fencing club has had at least one member compete at each Olympic Games since 1956. VRI started in 1949 as the Victorian Railway Institute Fencing Club, with training held at the Flinders street Station Ballroom in Melbourne. Many of the people who fenced at VRI in the beginning had immigrated from Hungary. Now located in Richmond, VRI is one of the most successful fencing clubs in Australia. With 9 permanent electric pistes located over 2 floors, we have facilities for all types of modern fencing - Epee, Foil, Sabre and Pentathlon. Our accredited coaches run a full range of school, group, and individual lessons, catering to all ages and experience - from complete beginners to Olympians. Fencing is a fast and intense sport that requires speed, skill, agility, control, and a tactical brain- it is also lots of fun.
VRI will be moving to a newly developed and high-tech venue at the Richmond Football Club in 2010. We want to update the clubs image and create an exciting buzz about the club and the sport of fencing in Melbourne.
Our market is very broad - we cater for school kids and parents, teenagers who are looking for something different to try other than the standard sports of AFL or netball. We have a lot of mature fencers over 25 to 70 years old who try the sport for the first time. Most of our fencers are career minded people in various professions ie Doctors, Lawyers, IT, Arts, and many of our junior fencers study at University. We also want a professional logo that will help attract corporate sponsorship for the club and be a strong image that people who don't know about fencing will understand.
We want our logo to represent the energetic nature of the sport; but to be modern and edgy, as well as showing our new allegiance with the Richmond Football Club. We would also like some kind of representation of the 3 swords that are fenced at VRI - epee, foil and sabre. Our current logo has a fencing man, but this does not have to be retained, along with "since 1949" and our original club colours of royal blue and yellow.... the black, yellow and white of Richmond FC may also be used. Go to http://www.vrifencing.org.au/ Below is attached current logo.

If you consider yourself a Corvette enthusiast, you probably already know what the L88 is. They were built from 1967 through 1969 and only 216 existed, with the most popular year being 1969 (116 cars). The title "L88" refers to the 427 engine packed under the hood of the Corvette, which is rated at 430 horsepower. The LeMans Blue L88 in question is quite obviously of the convertible model, and was discovered in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1977 by two men named Bryan Cooper, a promoter of the Knoxville Corvette Expo for 36 years, and a former Corvette dealer, Paul Kitchen. Kitchen is also one of the early contributors to the Corvette Black Book by Mike Antonick. On discovering the '69, they brought the four-speed Corvette to Cooper's shop and immediately dropped the gas tank to find the tank sticker to document the specifics.
The pair confirmed that the car was indeed an L88 Corvette, and it was eventually purchased by Joe Cheeks and David Love in November 1987. The two are partners at Automania in Three-Way, Tennesee, which helps connect buyers with the collector car of their dreams. They placed the car in protective storage until February 2012, when it was delivered to Roger Gibson, renowned Corvette and muscle car expert, who completed a 5,100-hour no-expense-spared frame-off restoration using NOS parts. It took a total of nineteen months and more than $242,000, but the outcome was well worth it. Looking as it did the day it rolled off the assembly line, the Corvette features the matching Bright Blue interior and Black vinyl auxiliary hard top.
Now, the beautiful and rare 1969 Corvette L88 convertible is seeking new ownership through Mecum Auctions Kissimmee on Saturday, January 25th, at 3:35 p.m.
Included with sale are the tank sticker, NCRS Shipping Data Report, which notes delivery to Stafford and Cannon Chevrolet in Liberty, Kentucky, Documentation Validation Service records for the tank sticker, two binders containing a comprehensive photographic record of the restoration, copies of all receipts, and a complete and detailed description of work performed by Gibson and his team.

NHL to test proposed rule changes tomorrow and Thursday
Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the NHL will be putting to test some proposed rule changes during the the 2010 NHL Research, Development and Orientation Camp in Toronto. Some of the top prospects for the 2011 Entry Draft will be present, including current number one ranked prospect (by ISS) Sean Couturier of the Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL).
The NHL will test more than a dozen rules, including some face-off variations, a hybrid icing rule (hybrid of no-touch and touch icing) and a no-line changes for offsides rule (similar to the icing rule), amongst other rules.
Here's a bit of info on some of the proposed rule changes being tested: Continue reading 'NHL to test proposed rule changes tomorrow and Thursday'»

Starting right guard Alex Boone said that he is in good enough shape to play in the 49ers regular-season opener even though he missed all of training camp during a contract dispute.
Boone spoke with the media Tuesday for the first time since he received a restructured contract from the 49ers on Sunday.
"It's great to be back with the team," Boone said. "I'm happy with the outcome. It's a win-win for everybody. It's time to start playing football."
The 49ers reworked the final two years of Boone's existing contract. The new terms call for Boone to make as much as $6 million, whereas he was slated to earn $3.7 million under the original terms.
Also, the 49ers waived the $1.2 million or so in fines and bonus forfeiture that resulted from Boone's lengthy holdout. They also agreed not to let Boone become an unrestricted free agent after the 2015 season.
"I knew eventually we would come together and get something done," Boone said. "At first, it was just kind of stalemated because you have two hard stances going against each other.
"Eventually, coming together was a good thing. Both sides knew that we needed to come together on something. Like I said, it was a win-win for everybody."
Joe Looney worked at right guard during Boone's absence. Boone will regain his starting spot as soon as coach Jim Harbaugh is satisfied that Boone is in football shape.
Boone started every game for the 49ers the past two seasons. During that time, he developed into one of the league's best all-around guards. Boone leveraged that into a new contract.

About Us
The idea for Vapenow.com started in 2005, when we were just two friends interested in learning about aromatherapy vaporizers. We were impressed with all the benefits of the vaporizers we purchased and started expanding our knowledge and collection. But in all our purchases, we found we were consistently disappointed in the lack of objective information and service on retailers sites.
Vapenow.com was created on the belief that there is a better way to help people learn about aromatherapy vaporizers and shop for them. Our goal will always be to make it easy to pick the best vaporizer for your needs.

- 1 Introduction
- 2 Architecture
- 3 RHEL Core: Common definitions
- 4 Installing the Management Server
- 4.1 Automated Installation
- 4.2 Manual Installation
- 4.3 Optional Mysql Backend
- 5 Set-up Foreman
- 6 Manage a Host
The intent of this document is to provide the Open Source and Red Hat communities with a guide to deploy OpenStack infrastructures using Puppet/Foreman system management solution.
We are describing how to deploy and provision the management system itself and how to use it to deploy OpenStack Controller and OpenStack Compute nodes.
- Upstream OpenStack based on Folsom (2012.2) from EPEL6
- The Operating System is Red Hat Enterprise Linux - RHEL6.4+. All machines (Virtual or Physical) have been provisioned with a base RHEL6 system and up to date.
- The system management is based on Foreman 1.1 from the Foreman Yum Repo and Puppet 2.6.17 from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 (EPEL6)/
- Foreman provides full system provisioning, meanwhile this is not covered here, at least for now.
- Foreman Smart-proxy runs on the same host as Foreman. Please adjust accordingly if running on a separate host.
All the code examples or system output shown in this documentation use the following highlight:
This is an output or system command example!
All the code examples unless specified otherwise, are to be run as root
The URL provided to be used must have the host replaced by the corresponding one for the targeted environment
|Host Group
| Foreman definition grouping environment, Puppet Classes and variables
together to be inherited by hosts.
|OpenStack Controller node
|Server with all OpenStack modules to manage OpenStack Compute nodes
|OpenStack Compute node
|Server OpenStack Nova Compute and Nova Network modules providing OpenStack Cloud Instances
|RHEL Core
|Base Operation System installed with standard RHEL packages and specific configuration required by all systems (or hosts)
The idea is to have a Management system to be able to quickly deploy OpenStack Controllers or OpenStack Compute nodes.
OpenStack Components
An Openstack Controller Server regroups the following OpenStack modules:
- OpenStack Nova Keystone, the identity server
- OpenStack Nova Glance, the image repository
- OpenStack Nova Scheduler
- OpenStack Nova Horizon, the dashboard
- OpenStack Nova API
- QPID the AMQP Messaging Broker
- Mysql backend
- An OpenStack-Compute
An OpenStack Compute consists of the following modules:
- OpenStack Nova Compute
- OpenStack Nova Network
- OpenStack Nova API
- Libvirt and dependant packages
The following environment has been tested to validate all the procedures described in this document:
- Management System: both physical or virtual machine
- OpenStack controller: physical machine
- OpenStack compute nodes: several physical machines
High level work-flow
The goal is to achieve the OpenStack deployment in four steps:
- Deploy the system management solution Foreman
- Prepare Foreman for OpenStack
- Deploy the RHEL core definition with Puppet agent on participating OpenStack nodes
- Manage each OpenStack node to be either a Controller or a Compute node
RHEL Core: Common definitions
The Management server itself is based upon the RHEL Core so we define it first.
In the rest of this documentation we assume that every system:
- Is using the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6.x. We have tested with RHEL6.4.
- Be registered and subscribed with an Red Hat account, either RHN Classic or RHSM. We have tested with RHSM.
- Has been updated with latest packages
- Has the been configured with the following definitions
The NTP service is required and included during the deployment of OpenStack components.
Meanwhile for Puppet to work properly with SSL, all the physical machines must have their clock in sync.
Make sure all the hardware clocks are:
- Using the same time zone
- On time, less than 5 minutes delay from each others
Yum Repositories
Activate the following repositories:
- RHEL6 Server Optional RPMS
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms yum clean all
We need the Augeas utility for manipulating configuration files:
yum -y install augeas
SELinux is a requirement for our projects, meanwhile at the time of writing, SELinux has not been fully validated for:
- Foreman
- OpenStack
In the meantime activate SELinux in permissive mode:
setenforce 0
And make it persistent in /etc/selinux/config file:
SELINUX = permissive SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Make sure every host can resolve the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the management server is defined in available DNS or alternatively use the /etc/hosts file.
Puppet Agent
The puppet agent must be installed on every host and be configured in order to:
- Point to the Puppet Master which is our Management server
- Have Puppet plug-ins activated
The following commands make that happen:
PUPPETMASTER="puppet.example.org" yum install -y puppet # Set PuppetServer augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/agent/server $PUPPETMASTER # Puppet Plugins augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/main/pluginsync true
Afterwards, the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf file should look like this:
[main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is '$vardir/log'. logdir = /var/log/puppet # Where Puppet PID files are kept. # The default value is '$vardir/run'. rundir = /var/run/puppet # Where SSL certificates are kept. # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'. ssldir = $vardir/ssl pluginsync=true [agent] # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes # associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses`` # option. # The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'. classfile = $vardir/classes.txt # Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically. # The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'. localconfig = $vardir/localconfig server=puppet.example.org
Installing the Management Server
Let's get started with how to deploy Puppet-Foreman application in order to manage our OpenStack infrastructure.
To use Mysql backend, follow the Mysql back section from the manual installation procedure described below. Postgresql integration is not covered.
We describe two installation methods for the Management application:
- Automated
- Manually
We recommend to use the automated approach.
Meanwhile, the manual approach walks you through the installation of the automated components. This should be helpful for some OpenStack scenarios and also for troubleshooting. The manual installation doesn't describe Apache/SSL/Passenger components yet.
Automated Installation
The Automated installation of the Management server provides:
- Puppet Master
- HTTPS service with Apache SSL and Passenger
- Foreman Proxy (Smart-proxy) and Foreman
- No SELinux
Before starting, make sure the Common Core definitions described earlier have been applied.
To get those services installed, configured and running, we basically use puppet itself with the following commands to be executed on the Management machine, host1.example.org for instance:
# Get some packages yum install -y puppet git policycoreutils-python # Get foreman-installer modules git clone --recursive https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-installer.git \ /root/foreman-installer # Install puppet -v --modulepath=/root/foreman-installer -e "include puppet, \ puppet::server, passenger, foreman_proxy, foreman"
Foreman should then be accessible at https://host1.example.org.
You will be prompted to sign-in: use default user "admin" with the password "changeme".
Manual Installation
The manual installation provides:
- Puppet Master
- HTTP service with Webrick
- Foreman Proxy (Smart-proxy) and Foreman
- SELinux
Before starting, make sure the Common Core definitions described earlier have been applied.
Puppet Master
Once the core components must have prepared, the we can install the Puppet master and Git. Git will be used to get the Puppet modules specific for OpenStack:
yum install -y git puppet-server policycoreutils-python
Initial Puppet Master configuration
We need to customise the Puppet Master configuration file /etc/puppet/puppet.conf.
First we activate puppet plugins (modules custom types & facts)
augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/main/pluginsync true
Then we add Puppet a default Production environment. You might want to extend it by adding other environments such as development, test, staging.
mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/production mkdir /etc/puppet/modules/common augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/production/modulepath \ /etc/puppet/modules/production:/etc/puppet/modules/common
The Puppet autosign feature allows to filter whose certificate requests will automatically be signed:
augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/autosign \$confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }
In order to have SELinux enforced on the Management host, we need to:
- Set the SELinux type for /etc/puppet:
semanage fcontext -a -t puppet_etc_t '/etc/puppet(/.*)?'
- Make sure the configuration files type gets applied when file are touched:
echo "/etc/puppet/*" >> /etc/selinux/restorecond.conf
- Allow Puppet Master to use the Database:
setsebool -P puppetmaster_use_db true
Foreman Installation
Get Foreman packages from the yum repo:
yum install -y http://yum.theforeman.org/rc/el6/x86_64/foreman-release-1.1RC5-1.el6.noarch.rpm yum install -y foreman foreman-proxy foreman-mysql foreman-mysql2 rubygem-redcarpet
External Node Classification
For Puppet ENC we rely on github.com/theforeman project and fetch the node.rb script from it:
git clone git://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman.git /tmp/puppet-foreman cp /tmp/puppet-foreman/templates/external_node.rb.erb /etc/puppet/node.rb
We need to edit the variables defined at the head of the file, /etc/puppet/node.rb.
We are doing this using "sed" command in order to script it for later:
sed -i "s/<%= @foreman_url %>/http:\/\/$(hostname):3000/" \ /etc/puppet/node.rb sed -i 's/<%= @puppet_home %>/\/var\/lib\/puppet/' /etc/puppet/node.rb sed -i 's/<%= @facts %>/true/' /etc/puppet/node.rb sed -i 's/<%= @storeconfigs %>/false/' /etc/puppet/node.rb chmod 755 /etc/puppet/node.rb
Anyway the result should look like this (extract of the modified section):
SETTINGS = { :url => "http://host1.example.org:3000", :puppetdir => "/var/lib/puppet", :facts => true, :storeconfigs => true, :timeout => 3,
Finally we tell Puppet Master to use ENC:
augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/external_nodes /etc/puppet/node.rb augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/node_terminus exec
Foreman Reports
We use the foreman report form github.com/theforeman project downloaded earlier:
cp /tmp/puppet-foreman/templates/foreman-report.rb.erb \ /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reports/foreman.rb augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/reports foreman
Enable Foreman-proxy features
sed -i -r 's/(:puppetca:).*/\1 true/' /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml sed -i -r 's/(:puppet:).*/\1 true/' /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml
Activate & run services
chkconfig foreman-proxy on service foreman-proxy start chkconfig foreman on service foreman start
Foreman should be accessible at http://host1.example.org:3000.
Optional Mysql Backend
Let's get the DBMS and active the service by default:
yum install -y mysql-server chkconfig mysqld on service mysqld start
Then we initialise the mysql database:
MYSQL_ADMIN_PASSWD='mysql' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password "${MYSQL_ADMIN_PASSWD}" /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h $(hostname) password "${MYSQL_ADMIN_PASSWD}"
Puppet database
We need to create a Puppet database and grant permission to it's user, "puppet":
The following command will do that for us.
MYSQL_PUPPET_PASSWD='puppet' echo "create database puppet; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON puppet.* TO puppet@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$MYSQL_PUPPET_PASSWD'; commit;" | mysql -u root -p
Finally we adjust the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf file for mysql.
augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/storeconfigs true augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbadapter mysql augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbname puppet augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbuser puppet augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbpassword \ $MYSQL_PUPPET_PASSWD augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbserver localhost augtool -s set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/master/dbsocket \ /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Foreman database
First off we need the mysql gems for foreman:
yum -y install foreman-mysql*
We need to configure foreman to make good use of our Mysql Puppet database.
Modify the /etc/foreman/database.yml file so the production section looks like this:
production: adapter: mysql2 database: puppet username: puppet password: puppet host: localhost socket: "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"
And then foreman to populate the database:
cd /usr/share/foreman && RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
Mysql Optimisation
For optimisation, the following which is optional, should be done only once puppet database has been created and populated.
Run the following create index command, you'll be prompted for the MYSQL_PUPPET_PASSWD password specified earlier:
echo "create index exported_restype_title on resources (exported, restype, title(50));" | mysql -u root -p -D puppet
Set-up Foreman
Once Foreman, Foreman-proxy service are up and running, we need to link them together.
First, let's log into Foreman GUI:
Then select "More -> Configuration -> Smart Proxies" in the menu located on the top end right. And select the "New Proxy" button. Add the definitions for a new proxy.
- The name is only a description
- The URL should match your FQDN management host and the smart-proxy port 8443. Use https or http depending if SSL is configured. By default SSL is configured in the automated installation and is not for the manual installation.
Then select the "Submit" button to validate. For example:
Import OpenStack Puppet Modules
We need to download the Opentstack Puppet modules from the github project. All the OpenStack components are installed from those modules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/gildub/puppet-openstack.git /etc/puppet/modules/production
Along with the nova-compute and nova-controller installer:
git clone http://git.engineering.redhat.com/git/users/gdubreui/openstack-puppet.git /etc/puppet/modules/production
We import the Puppet modules into Foreman using either:
- The GUI: Select "More -> Configuration -> Puppet classes" and click "Import from <your_smart_proxy>" button:
- Command line:
cd /usr/share/foreman && rake puppet:import:puppet_classes RAILS_ENV=production
We must provide all the parameters required by the OpenStack puppet modules in order to configure the different components with those values. Here is the list of all the parameters to defined into Foreman:
Using Foreman GUI, go to "More -> Configuration -> Global Parameters" and "Add Parameter" in order to create all parameters described in the previous table:
Hosts Groups
Host Groups are an easy way to group Puppet class modules and parameters. A host, when attached to a Host Group automatically inherits those definitions. We manage the two OpenStack types of server using Foreman Host Groups.
So, we need to create two Host Groups:
- OpenStack-Controller
- OpenStack Compute Nodes
To create a Host Group:
- Select the menu entry "More -> Configuration -> Host Groups"
- Provide:
- The name
- The environment: Production is the default
- The smart-proxy: Use the one created previously
So we create the first Host Group, "openstack-controller" and validate by selecting the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page:
We repeat the same operation to create the second Host Group, "openstack-compute":
Finally, we need to associate the OpenStack Controller and the OpenStack Compute classes respectively to the two Host Groups we have created.
OpenStack Controller
To define the OpenStack Controller Host Group, Edit the OpenStack-Controller Host Group and use the "Puppet Classes" tab and select the "TryStack class". Activate the trystack and trystack::controller classes by clicking on the "+" icon.
OpenStack Compute
To define the OpenStack Compute Host Group, Edit the openStack-compute Host Group and activate the trystack and trystack::compute classes:
Manage a Host
To make a system part of our OpenStack infrastructure we have to:
- Make sure the host follows the Common Core definitions – See RHEL Core: Common definitions section above
- Have the host's certificate signed so it's registered with the Management server
- Assign the host either the openstack-controller or openstack-compute Host Group
Register Host Certificates
Using Autosign
With autosign option, the hosts can be automatically registered and visible from Foreman by adding the hostnames to the /etc/puppet/autosign.conf file.
Signing Certificates
If you're not using the autosign option then you will have to sign the host certificate.
- Using the GUI
Get on the Smart Proxies window from the menu "More -> Configuration -> Smart Proxies". And select the "Certificates" from the drop-down button of the smart-proxy you created:
From there you can manage all the hosts certificates.
- Using the CLI
Assuming the Puppet agent (puppetd) is running on the host, the host certificate would have been created on the Puppet Master and will be waiting to be signed: From the Puppet Master host, use the "puppetca" tool with the command "list" to see the waiting certificates, for example:
# puppetca list "host3.example.org" (84:AE:80:D2:8C:F5:15:76:0A:1A:4C:19:A9:B6:C1:11)
To sign a certificate, use the "sign" command and provide the hostame, for example:
puppetca sign host3.example.org
Assign a Host Group
Display the hosts using the "Hosts" button at the top Foreman GUI screen.
Then select the corresponding "Edit Host" drop-down button on the right side of the targeted host.
Assign the right environment and attach the appropriate Host Group to that host in order to make it a Controller or a Compute node.
Save by hitting the "Submit" button.
Deploy OpenStack Components
We are done!
The OpenStack components will be installed when the Puppet agent synchronises with the Management server. Effectively, the classes will be applied when the agent retrieves the catalog from the Master and runs it.
You can also manually trigger the agent to check with the puppetmaster, to do so deactivate the agent on the targeted controller node run:

The HCT Group
Helping our communities to get out and about
HCT Group is made up of a variety of different parts, each focussed on a particular type of work or focussed in particular communities.
This page sets out an overview of the different parts of HCT Group. If you're looking for the specific web pages of any particular part of the Group, you may find it easier to use the navigation on the left hand side of this page under the heading 'The HCT Group'. Simply click on the part of the group you are looking for and it will take you to their home page. You can also follow the additional links to find out about their specific services.
You can find information about the Group's structure and legal forms here.
The different parts of the Group
Trading arms: HCT Group started out as Hackney Community Transport in 1982. As we developed our social enterprise model, we began to pitch for commercial work under the name of our trading subsidiary – CT Plus – in 2001. The idea was to separate work we did solely for the benefit of the community as HCT from work that we did to pay for it.
By 2004, we were operating our London red bus routes and our services in Waltham Forest as CT Plus. When we expanded to Yorkshire in 2005, we established an additional trading arm – CT Plus (Yorkshire) - to deliver and compete for contracts locally. We also have a trading arm specifically to deliver logistics and call centre services – the Transport Co-ordination Centre.
Merger partners and JVs: Other like-minded Community Transport organisations have joined the Group – Islington Community Transport in north London, LaSCoT in Lambeth and Southwark, Leeds Alternative Travel in Yorkshire. In 2011, leading south-west social enterpise Bristol Community Transport joined the Group. Each of our merger partners has retained their focus on their local community, their services, name and heritage - whilst gaining the security of being part of a larger whole.
Learning Centres: Our Learning Centres have become recognised in their own right as a key part of the Group, supporting hundreds of people who are long term unemployed in London and Leeds to gain the qualifications and support they need to get and keep jobs.

Let's keep working on Magarity plan
What if the Bowman Properties' zoning bills introduced by Donna Reed Miller go forward in City Council? The bills will probably be passed. And in one day, December 15, 2011, Bowman Properties will have appropriated what it has so far been unable to win from our community through local civic process. That is, a massive up-zoning of its own property with no consideration for those surrounding it.
The truth is, appropriate rezoning of 8200 Germantown Ave. can happen with community support. And the owner can develop this property with community support and – with a food market too! Bowman Inc. knows this well. After all, the new zoning law, which City Council spent millions on and employed experts from around the country to help formulate, in fact itself calls for re-zoning 8200 to allow mixed-use development in line with the Avenue's character.
So please do not inflict severe damage to the community zoning process and disenfranchise the regular people who have participated in them in good faith. Please, Bowman Properties, ask Donna Reed Miller to withdraw the bills from the December vote. And continue to work with the LUPZ negotiating committee and us, your neighbors, to make this work.

The community is not being ignored
After fielding many calls and emails today from concerned and angered Chestnut Hill resident and CHCA members regarding a Weavers Way e-newsletter that was sent to its membership this week, I feel the urge to remind everyone once again that the CHCA's process is working very well and its numerous committees are working diligently on the 8200 Germantown Ave. project. In June of 2011, after presentation of this project before the CHCA's LUPZ, a subcommittee was formed. It consists of three near neighbors and members of the LUPZ, DRC, Traffic, Transportation and Parking and Historic Advisory Committee. They are working countless hours negotiating and working with Bowman Properties to be assured of a project that will benefit our entire community.
Neither the CHCA nor Bowman Properties are ignoring the concerns of this community or the required processes.
Change is inevitable, and it is in everyone's best interest to move forward thoughtfully.

Comments not kind
In the Nov. 24 issue of the Local, Ron Klinger ["Monopoly minded," Letters] states, "I've been in business in Chestnut Hill for 47 years and I never see why the people of Mt. Airy should have an opinion on what is happening in Chestnut Hill." It does seem possible that during those 47 years Mr. Klinger has benefited, financially, from some of "the people of Mt. Airy."
As a long time resident of Mt. Airy who shops, dines, attends festivals, and visits friends, I am a committeeperson in the 9th Ward, which includes Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy. I suggest that Mr. Klinger rethink his comment and at the very least, accept the fact that "the people of Mt. Airy" have the right to express their opinions.
There are currently many issues that have an impact on the entire Northwest section of this city. The attitude that is expressed by Mr. Klinger surely does not help to foster cooperation and mutual problem solving.
Marilyn Lambert
Mt. Airy
Weavers Way is part of Chestnut Hill
As Weavers Way members, Chestnut Hill property and business owners and "top of the hill" shoppers, we take issue with Ron Klinger's letter criticizing the Co-op for expressing concern about the Magarity project.
The Co-op invested more than $6 million into Chestnut Hill, at a time when many storefronts were vacant. The Co-op's vibrant market attracts 500 – 750 daily shoppers and has helped to revitalize the main street business corridor.
What's more, the Co-op was established in concert with other local businesses and residents. Decisions about store design, parking, and even product line were made with respect for those who own shops and those who live in Chestnut Hill.
Glenn Bergman's letter raised questions about the scope and impact of the Magarity project that all who care about Chestnut Hill should be asking, even if there may not be agreement about the answers. Contrary to your assertion, Mr. Klinger, Weavers Way Co-op, including its 4,300 adult members (2,000 households) in the 19118 zip code and other shoppers, are very much a part of Chestnut Hill and entitled to a voice. Your parochial view does not serve your community well. We respectfully disagree.
Bob and Nancy Elfant
Chestnut Hill
Vexed by snobbery
Over the years that I have been reading the Local. I've been amused by letters like the one written a while back by a journalist who referred to the people of Mt. Airy and Germantown as "denizens," but this week there was a triple dose of snobbish opinions.
Janet Lynch ["Why not expand in Germantown?"] suggests that Chestnut Hillers "help Germantown prosper and grow so that lower classes don't spread outward."
Her letter clearly reveals her fear, clannish attitude and disdain for those she deems to be inferior.
Tom Woodruff ["Send them to jail"] doesn't want to be inconvenienced by people who are protesting the current financial cirisis and economic disparities. I wonder if Mr. Woodruff would feel the same inconvenience in Tahir Square (same movement on a larger scale) and wish that those participating in the grassroots response to the overwhelming inequalities perpetrated by the global financial system be sent to jail. Maybe the bankers who have broken laws and received unconscionable bonuses without being held accountable should be jailed as well.
Ron Klinger ["Monopoly-minded"] feels that people in Mt. Airy should not have an opinion on what is happening in Chestnut Hill. He states that [Weavers Way Co-op General Manager Glenn] Bergman is "mnopoly minded" becvause of his objections to the development of the Magarity property. But Klinger has a double standard. He wants a monopoly on opinions.
Bergman, a creative and community-conscious man has a legitimate cnocern that the new market not siphon off a large percent of business from Weaver's Way and the Chestnut Hill Market.
I am vexed by the narrow-mindedness of the three contributors.

I was saddened to learn of the recent death of Susan Detscher Pizzano of Chestnut Hill. I met this remarkable woman in January, 2001, when she held a community fund-raiser titled "Meatloaf Mania and Pie Passion" to raise money to build the Top of the Hill Fountain near the intersection of Germantown Avenue and Bethlehem Pike. As the winner of the Meatloaf Mania contest, I had several encounters with her in the weeks after the competition and before a cookbook was published and community dinner held in which the winning recipes were replicated by another good egg – Paul Roller.
As a personal historian, I was intrigued by all of the things she had done in her 63 years and saddened that I had not known of some of them until her death. In life, I learned a bit about her passion for food and for bringing people together around food that inspired me to write a cookbook about building community and teams around food.
I would like to dedicate my book, due out this spring, to Susan. She was a woman who always had a smile, a kind word, an innovative idea and positive outlook. She was a doer.
I bumped into her last spring near her fountain and recognized that she had been through the ravages of chemotherapy. I was struck by how serene she seemed sitting on a bench enjoying the fountain. I would suggest that this area be renamed the Susan D. Pizzano Memorial Park.
Every time I walk or drive by this area, I will remember her in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Susan, for giving so much of yourself to so many of us and the Chestnut Hill community.
You planted a seed in me that will grow to keep your memory alive. I suspect there are many other seedlings out there that you had a hand in nurturing to achieve their full potential.
