Last summer, my sisters and I spent a long afternoon in our parents' basement. Our goal was, as my mother put it, to "help her clean out her family photo collection." She'd told us that she had "some bins" and "lots of photos." She didn't tell us exactly how many bins (there were dozens) or how many photos (there were many thousands). She did, however, promise us wine and lunch, so we were more than happy to oblige.
As one might expect, our efforts took hours. They were mostly happy hours. Some of them were quite silly. ("Look at that hair!" "What was I thinking wearing that outfit?!" "Who is this person holding me as a baby, and why do they look like such a polyester nightmare?") Some of them were wistful. ("How long since she died?" "Do you think we can get this picture to him even though they're divorced?")
In addition to food and drink and silliness, my mother had also promised us the chance to fill a whole box with whatever photos we wanted to keep for ourselves. I filled my box to the brim, mostly with old pictures of my parents, grandparents, and even a few of my great-grandparents. I kept a few fun photos of my sisters and me when we were little.
None of these photos were professionally taken. All of them were imperfect in some way. But they were all beautiful to me.
One of my favorites was a square-shaped snapshot of my father and grandfather. The image is blurry, the color is off, and neither man's face is fully visible. I don't think that they were doing anything remarkable besides walking together. It is a wholly imperfect photo: one that a 21st century photographer would likely delete from whatever memory device they are using. And yet I identify with the complete ordinariness of the picture. In all of its imperfection, it captures a moment and evokes a feeling that I wanted to preserve: these two men, two of the most important men in my life, being ordinary and imperfect and human.
I have an emotional connection to the photo: not an artistic one. And with family photos, that's an important difference.
Nonetheless, not all my mom's pictures struck me that way. Not even most of them. And as my sisters and I sorted a few photos into our boxes and tossed hundreds of repeats and plain old terrible pictures into trash bags, we asked my mom why she'd kept so many pictures in the first place.
"These are my memories of you guys," she said. "I'll never get those moments back again. And then some of these people aren't alive anymore, and this is all that I have of them. It's hard to part with them."
I didn't know if by "them" she meant the pictures or the people. I suspect she meant a little of both.
Though my mom's point was beautiful in its own right, my sisters and I still felt pretty smug about the fact that we didn't have so many pictures spilling out of storage bins in our own basements.
"This is ridiculous," we said to one another. "We'll never have this many photos in our house."
Of course, our smugness wasn't all that justified. We do have that many photos. In fact, we might have that many photos from last year alone. But instead of taking up space in our basement, they're taking up space in the overflowing digital corners of our lives.
Without being confined to 24 shots on a camera roll or the interminable wait of the picture development kiosk at the grocery story, the modern person can get immediate photographic gratification with the mere press of a button. And with our phones glued to our bodies, we can do that all day long. We can Instagram them. Post them on Facebook. Save them to a digital storage site. Upload them to our computers or external hard drives.
Our "bins" do indeed overfloweth.
When I returned to my own home later that weekend, I asked a few friends how many family photos they in their collections.
"Probably hundreds."
"2,183. And that's just on my phone. I'm not even counting the cloud or my computer or my external hard drive or even the hundreds of prints I have stashed away in the scrapbooking drawer that I'll probably never use anyway."
"Oh God, so many of my children, I can't count."
"30,000. Give or take."
This overabundance of photos is a common experience for modern parents and non-parents alike. For parents in particular, this overabundance involves loads of pictures of our children
With the exception of some trained or professional photographers, few of us parents have a mass collection of fine art prints. We have blurry, off-color, poorly-composed pictures of our kids walking, playing, eating, sliding, smiling, crying, and just, you know, standing. We have 12 different shots of the same pose from the first day of school. We have one professionally-taken photo for every hundred-or-so phone-snapped photos.
We love our kids. And we really love taking photos of our kids. It's a love that resides somewhere between narcissism and nostalgia, excessiveness and happiness.
When I reflect on just how much narcissism and nostalgia I've amassed over the years, it's enough to make me want to delete all the bad pictures—to trim the fat, so to speak—and keep only the best photos with the best light and the best composition and the best expressions on all my family's faces. It's time to get rid of all those hundreds of bad photos taking up space in all my digital "bins."
But when I try to get into deleting mode, I stumble. I hesitate.
Like my mother before me, I find that it's hard to part with my pictures and with my past. In some ways, it's even harder to part with the imperfect, mundane pictures of my past. Especially the pictures of my children.
It's the emotional connection I feel to those ordinary moments of imperfection. It's the look of my kids' squishy cheeks and pouty lips. The intent expressions on their faces when they're fighting an army of zombies with a Buzz Lightyear figure. The blur of an arm trying to hit the tormenting brother. The hand-me-down pajamas with the too-long pants legs. The child who cried in his Halloween gnome costume. The crooked smiles and the peanut butter that I forgot to wipe off their cheeks.
Much like that blurry, imperfect photograph of my father and my grandfather, I imagine that the pictures I'll treasure the most one day will be the ones that capture the ordinary moments of my parenting life, in all of its blurry imperfection.
So do I need 15 messy, imperfect shots of my children having a pillow fight in the living room? No, probably not: I can hit delete a few times on that one. But will it hurt to keep just one, along with the hundreds—or thousands—of other ordinary, "bad" pictures?
It won't hurt. In fact, those unremarkable, uneventful moments are probably the ones that I'll cherish most some day when my kids are grown and sorting through my photos (or files), wondering aloud why their mom hoarded so many bad pictures over the years.

Alan Turing. A name you might be familiar with.
The mathematician with a penchant for puzzles and a craving for complex conundrums.
The hero that made the single biggest contribution to the Allied victory in the war against Nazi Germany, according to Winston Churchill: a contribution that shortened the Second World War by two years.
The genius whose work at Bletchley Park led to the creation of your computer, your phone, not to mention tablet PCs and the many other devices that evolved from the breakthroughs in computer science that he made.
Even if none of this rings any bells as you read it, you can't have missed the hype around The Imitation Game: the film depicting Alan Turing's life and work on decrypting Enigma. Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Turing is fantastic – I urge you to go and see the film while you can, because it is the best historical film you will see all year.
Of course, films, not unlike academic papers or family histories, require a great deal of research – particularly with eagle-eyed viewers who are keen to point out mistakes. But how can any type of researchers – film, personal or academic, hope to get anywhere with their research if we don't manage our information properly?
If you want to operate with fluidity and efficiency it is essential to keep your files and papers well organised. Although, having said that, I recently read in one of our files that according to one of his colleagues at Bletchley Park, Turing was untidy with a tendency to lose things and was all in all not a 'practical man' (HW 25). But I digress. We all know that, usually, good information management is the key to efficiency and it's also important to enable researchers of the future to make sense of what happened in the past. Without good information management, important historical events like the breaking of Enigma may never be able to be translated into films like The Imitation Game. History can need a great deal of deciphering and figuring out at the best of times, and that's when it's organised and laid out in front of you!

Heading off head lice, the scourge of summer
MANILA, Philippines – Head lice, locally known as lisa and kuto, have been a perennial problem for kids and adults alike. Infestations of this kind are normally dubbed the scourge of summer because they always strike during the summer months, creating infections of epidemic proportions especially among children. According to dermatologist Dr. Nenita Alberto, head lice start the infestation process by laying eggs on the hair strands of the infected person.
Ordinary shampoos will not prevent head lice but a special anti-head lice shampoo like Oilganics All-Natural Kuto Treatment Shampoo will prevent them and treat them as well. On top of that, it can make your hair soft and manageable without the usual harshness found in ordinary head lice treatment shampoos.
Oilganics has been scientifically and dermatologically formulated to be safe and non-toxic to humans with its exclusive, all-natural active ingredients such as quassinoids, Mediterranean vinegar, and AHA-organic acids.
Oilganics All-Natural Kuto Treatment Shampoo and Leave-On Conditioner is a product of Rhodesian Distributor. For details on the Alis-Kuto campaign and products, call the Alis-Kuto hotline at 367-4494 and 364-9598.

It should be against the law for advertisers to include perfume packets in the paper and in the mail unless they are enclosed in plastic. I end up throwing out most of my paper and the mail. By the time they get to my house, they stink. I do not want these smelly things in my house.

Marca, in their Thursday edition, have a report on Athletic Club Bilbao player Inaki Williams where they explained that Bundesliga club Dorussia Dortmund are very keen on the player.
The Spanish outlet additionally stated that Dortmund are not the only ones interested, but that Jurgen Klopp is eyeing Williams for Liverpool too.
The Reds boss 'has reports on his table' detailing the player's talents, and it was reported that Liverpool have been following Williams' progress.
Dortmund will want Williams as a potential replacement for African best player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who in the past few days talked about a possible move again.
One of Williams' notable qualities is his speed. This has made Dortmund think he would slot in perfectly – and Liverpool too will have noted that.
It was reported that the price for both Liverpool and Dortmund would be €50m – which is his release clause at the Spanish club, and they won't want to accept a penny less for him.
It is glaring that Liverpool wouldn't be going to the stage of letting Klopp go through reports and consider a move if they weren't prepared to pay the €50 million.
Klopp sure need to strengthen his squad if he want to win more matches

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that if it's Friday, it's dessert night!
While my kids would prefer some sticky, sweet store-bought cake, I try as often as I can, to tempt them with a healthier version of one of their favourite desserts.
With only 45 min before dinner needed to be on the table, it had to be something quick and easy. I flipped open one of my standard go-to cookbooks (The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook) and once again, found something that (1) looked great, (2) only took 25 minutes to cook and (3) I actually had all of the ingredients for on hand! (Well, not quite all of them, but I am an experimentalist, at heart; I replaced the blackberries the recipe called for with blueberries and strawberries).
Clean Eating Apple Blackberry Crumble
- 1 apple, cored and diced with peel on
- 1 cup blueberries (I used fresh, but you could substitute frozen)
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raw oats (not instant)
- 1/4 whole wheat flour
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/4 cup raisins
1. Combine fruit, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 min.
3. Pour fruit mixture into a lightly greased baking dish (I used canola oil for this)
4. Combine oats, flour, oil and raisins, stirring until dry ingredients are moist.
5. Spoon dry mixture over fruit.
6. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes (or until bubbly and crisp)

Ikoma Shinchiro was a bushi of the Lion Clan. He left his clan after a murder, becoming the ronin and pirate leader Sanada, founder of the Serpents of Sanada.
Ronin Edit
Ikoma Shinchiro had altered his family's histories to bring greater glory to his family's name, and it was revealed by Kitsuki Motoko, a Kitsuki ambassador. Shinchiro in a fit of anger murdered the Kitsuki, and escaped from the magistrates, and from the fallen Kitsuki's brother, Kitsuki Ketto. He found refuge in the village of Chibasu, where he decided to become a ronin pirate, Sanada. He killed Ketto after the magistrate discovered his secret headquarters in Chibasu. To honor the young magistrate, Sanada commissioned a grave with the kanji "Fearless Hunter" carved in the front. [1]
Serpents of Sanada Edit
Sanada was the founder of the Serpents of Sanada, a wako gang who hunted the Crane seas in 1163 with great success. Before the group began their pirate activities, Sanada had been sailing the waters of his hunting grounds for two years creating escape paths. [2]
Demeanor Edit
Sanada was a flamboyant man who believed himself a pirate directly out of legend. Using his notoriety he pressured many fishermen into keeping the location of his stronghold at Chibasu secret. Sanada had survived encounters with magistrate's ships so far only because of his genuine genius for naval tactics and his incredible luck. [2] He was vain, arrogant, selfish, insufferable, but not entirely without some twisted sense of honor. [3] Sanada was nicknamed Serpent's Coil. [4]
Allies Edit
Sanada had connections in Mura Sabishii Toshi, the closest Crane port city, and the Golden Carp Marketplace in Shiro Kaotsuki no Higashi. [5]

Rested Reneberg eyes semi spot
A well-rested Richey Reneberg stood on the brink of a semi-final place at the $5.65 million Marlboro Championships after a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Denmark's Kenneth Carlsen yesterday at Victoria Park.
The 31-year-old American, seeded fourth in the tournament, takes on compatriot Vincent Spadea today in his final Blue Group match, postponed from Tuesday because of rain. The postponement meant world number 27 Reneberg had two more days to acclimatise to the Hong Kong conditions, a situation he said worked to his advantage.
'I arrived from the US on Saturday so I had another two days to prepare and I think it helped me,' said Reneberg, who needs only one set against Spadea to clinch a place in the last four. Spadea, beaten in three sets by Carlsen on Wednesday, must defeat Reneberg in straight sets if he hopes to advance from the group.
Reneberg said: 'Out of all the young Americans on the tour, I think Vince has the best chance of doing well. He is a tough player and has as much chance of beating me in the same way I beat Carlsen.' It will be the first meeting between the two players. Already through to the semi-finals is Australian Patrick Rafter, who won both his matches in the Silver Group.
His march to the last four came at the expense of Russia's French Open champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, the world number four and third seed, who lost to Rafter on Tuesday, and again to American Michael Joyce 7-5, 6-3 in his last group match.
The tournament's top seed and world number one, Pete Sampras, takes on Zimbabwe's Byron Black tonight to determine the Silver Group winner, while second seed Austrian Thomas Muster, playing Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman today, is tipped to win the Gold Group.
In doubles, Hong Kong's Des Tyson and Christopher Lai lost 6-1, 6-3 to the experienced pair of Canadian Grant Connell and Black.

With the sea on its doorstep and the Pleasure Beach just a stone's throw away, Faringo's is ideally located for guests to the city of Blackpool to indulge in a sumptuous authentic Italian meal after a day of activity.
The restaurant can be found within the award-winning Kings Hotel complex and it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that certainly does not look out of place. This, alongside a glorious food offering that is created using only the best in locally sourced ingredients, serves to create a wonderful dining experience.
Setting the diner up perfectly for the delights to come are a set of palate whetting appetisers that include everything from a Salmone Fresco Affumicato, a sublime fresh smoked salmon dish that is served on a bed of green salad, to the Polpetta Di Avviamento, a set of homemade meatballs that come swimming in Faringo's signature tomato sauce.
Alongside a range of pizzas that come with assorted toppings are an array of mouth-watering main courses that contain a multitude of pasta dishes – as any self-respecting Italian restaurant should – such as the creamy homemade carbonara, an Umbrian recipe that offers a different flavour to that known commercially, and the Pollo Faringo, a chicken number cooked in their secret white wine sauce. Accompanying such is the slow-cooked lamb shank option in the Stinco D'Agnello and the Vegetariano Faringo, a vegetarian tomato dish that is otherwise known as 'vege spag bol.'
For visitors that aren't too keen on Italian cuisine, there are also a number of items available to meet the British appetite. These incorporate the traditional staples, such as a battered cod and an all steak pie – each coming with the customer's choice of chips, mash or jacket potato – as well as those from further afield, including a sweet and sticky pulled pork and a chili con carne. As for the particularly carnivorous, there are enough steak options available to satisfy any meat craving.
Rounding the meal off in style, the Faringo's desserts will have even the lightest of eaters finding that little bit of extra room in their stomach. From the refreshing fruit salad to the heart-warming rice pudding, there is a superb contrast in flavours that are fit to delight any sweet tooth.
Please note: The discount is not available on bank holidays or celebration days - including Valentines day, Mothering Sunday, Father's day, Christmas eve and Christmas day.

My wife and I recently spent a weekend in Natchez and chose to stay at the Monmouth Historic Inn. We had the "romance package" which included 2 nights stay, 2 breakfasts, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in the room, and dinner one night in their 1818 Restaurant. We also chose to upgrade our room to an antebellum room in the main house
Our stay was wonderful. The room was beautiful with antique furnishings, the food was great--especially dinner. They brought the champagne and berries, as I requested, while we were gone on a bike ride so we had a nice treat when we got home.
The inn has multiple additional buildings with other rooms. Most of these buildings have been reconstructed. The size of Monmouth and how they run it makes it feel more like a historic hotel then an intimate B&B but this was not an issue. Breakfast was in the garden room and with individual table service rather than scheduled B&B style service at a big table as we have had in other plantations. Breakfast choices were a southern breakfast (grits) or stuffed French toast. They had fruit and granola as well. Dinner was a stellar 5 course meal with great choices for each course. The 1818 Restaurant was in the main house.
The gardens are beautiful and were nice to explore. Monmouth sits about 1-2 miles from the downtown and river area though is still in town. It is also about 1 mile from the start of the Natchez Trace which provides a great place go for a bike ride or drive. It's very easy to ride your bike to the trace.
Staying at Monmouth was not an inexpensive weekend but we choose to stay in the main house and upgrade the package. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a romantic weekend in a beautiful antebellum mansion!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Monmouth Historic Inn & Gardens was built in 1818, and is a National Historic Landmark. As a charter member of Southern Living's Hotel Collection, Monmouth is the perfect choice for travelers seeking an authentic southern travel experience. Wake up each morning to the aroma of a full Southern style breakfast, then take a tour of the magnificent mansion before exploring the grounds and all 26 beautifully landscaped acres. As the sun sets on the picturesque surroundings, relax on the veranda with a Mint Julep and complimentary hors d'oeuvres. In the evening, enjoy fine dining at the award winning "Restaurant 1818" in the antebellum home.

In 2015 Brennan Heart created #I AM HARDSTYLE as a thank-you to the scene, his followers and fans. The music and community always were his biggest inspiration; the moving spirit to create new music. This resulted in "I AM HARDSTYLE The Album". #I AM HARDSTYLE is all about togetherness, something you can hear in all collaborations on the album.
Brennan heart: "15 years ago I started to produce a combination of Hardtrance and Hardcore. It was beyond my wildest dreams to think it would evolve into a style which is now understood and embraced by fans all over the world as Hardstyle. Hardstyle has been more than just a music genre for me. It's been there for me in good and bad times. It cheered me up when i was feeling down and it made me euphoric when i was already feeling good. Hardstyle has always been a way of life for me, far more than just a music genre.†Due to the collaborations with Far East Movement, Jonathan Mendelsohn and Christon, this album is a very versatile hardstyle album.

Emily Dickinson
By:Sara Batt
Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 and grew up on
Emily received a good education which wasn't uncommon in Amherst. She attended Amherst district school, she had attended Amherst district school before she went to Amherst Academy for seven years. After the academy Emily entered Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, but only stayed for a year.
Though Emily Dickinson is known as one of the greatest English Poets in history, Emily's poems weren't published while she was alive, but after she was dead. Emily's sister found Emily's poems hidden after Emily had died and decided to have them published. Emily Dickinson did other things besides writing poetry. She wrote letters to her friends and family and spent time reading books. Some even said that she loved to bake and cook along with spending time outside and taking walks in the garden with her dog, Carlo.
I chose these poems because when I read them I felt that I could relate or would like to relate to them some how. The first poem "If I could stop a heart from breaking" I chose because it talks about how we can make our lives worth living and not go to waste. I chose the second poem because it kind of blew my mind about how we live in the gray and the between.
The scansion and meter for the first poem is iambic tetrameter and so is the second poem.
The theme of the first poem is about not living for yourself, but for others. In the poem it says "if I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain" and it continues to talk about easing ones suffering and helping others too and making your life worth living.
The theme of the second of poem is eternity and immortality. In the poem is says "Tis Kingdom afterward they say in perfect pause less Monarchy" and this quote is talking about what immortality is supposed to look like according to christian belief along with the rest of stanza two.
The first poem can be connected to the poem that we once read called "the lonesome dream". Both the first first poem and the lonesome dream are about a dream, the may be different dreams but the narrator in the first poem dreams of not living her life in vain the narrator in the lonesome dream has the dream of living the American dream.
The second poem can be connected to the poem "because I could not stop for Death" and both poem were written by Emily Dickinson. Both of her poems incorporates the theme of immortality.
The poems that I chose have the characteristics of American Romanticism and Realism by incorporating feelings and nature into Emily Dickinson's poems.

There are always new wrinkles to be found in the familiar. That's a philosophical stance that seems to serve the Joe Policastro Trio well. This Chicago-based outfit's debut album--West Side Story Suite (Self Produced, 2013)--served as a distillation and expansion on Bernstein's masterpiece, turning Broadway on its head; Pops! (Self Produced, 2016) referenced both the venue that served as the band's birthplace and the titular musical strain, presenting newly drafted takes on the music of The Pixies, Neil Young, Stevie ...read more

SH Conditioning Q&A
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
By giving them round the clock support in a variety of different ways, be it writing up their programs, to sending them diet plans, or just simply answering any questions they may have about their journey. Once a client starts training with me, I am fully committed to making sure they're both happy and motivated. Whether their goals be weight loss, toning, or simply getting fit, I write fully detailed and personal training and diet plans to ensure each individual person has the best chance to achieve their goals.
What's the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Commitment. No dream body is an overnight process, it takes time and effort, and the path will be filled with ups and downs. There will be times when you don't feel like training, or just want to relapse on the diet, but it's all about having the commitment to push through that and focus on what you want to achieve. Its hard work, both during and away from the workouts, but anyone can achieve whatever they want to achieve with enough commitment to the cause.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the change in people, both physically and mentally. Seeing people actually get to where they want to be is a truly satisfying experience, but seeing people's self esteem increase, seeing their confidence shoot up, and seeing them happy and proud of what they have done is one of the best feelings and it makes all the planning and sessions worth while.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I myself was a big guy, reaching 6'5", weighing in at 20 stone at university and struggling to get up the stairs to lectures. I was at a low point with my self esteem and confidence and wanted to make a change to be better both on the inside and the outside. I then started going to the gym and putting the hours in and over a year I lost 5 stone and was in the best shape of my life. After getting that for myself, I wanted to help other people get to their goals too, so they too could understand that sense of pride and accomplishment.
Why should our clients choose you?
Simple. I'm 100% committed to making sure my clients get results, and I have a very good track record of doing exactly that.

What a beauty... Fluffy (Carla, Bon & Maui)
by S. Bendtzen
First let me say thank you Marnie and Tad for giving me this honor to speak about a very special friend, my Grand-cat, Miss Fluff.
When Marnie called and asked me if I would write the eulogy for Fluffy I immediately said "yes" and then I began to worry a bit about saying the right thing, using the correct words, not be too long, too maudlin, etc. etc. So, I googled "eulogy" and was presented with many examples, suggestions, poems, a full banquet. Still feeling a bit overwhelmed I decided that I would simply do my "own thing", and share several wonderful stories that I have tucked in my memory...
I guess the best place to start is the beginning-I remember Marn wanted to get a kitten, so we began our search in Salem, Oregon, where we were living at the time. One afternoon Marn, Rob and I piled into the car and ended up at an apartment where a young women had several generations of kittens, including Grandma Cat, and Mother Cat. They were all running around grooming one another and Fluffy caught Marns eye as she seemed a bit less "wild" than her siblings. (We also liked the markings on the back of her neck) We held her and upon putting her back down the Grandma came immediately over and groomed her repeatedly, which we found humorous. Once we had Fluffy in our possession we carried her to the car and let Rob hold her-and that was when she got her name-to Rob she was Fluffy and that was it!
So many memories flood my mind-the way she immediately became a member of our cat family, Hider was her Mom and Goo her companion. So adorable. The way she would entertain us for hours with her unbelievable skill-let me explain. We had a detachable rope swing that was erected for Rob to do his necessary spinning exercises. Well, one day as Fluffy was playing catch with Marn, (Marn would throw a paper wad and Miss Fluff would retrieve it) Fluff climbed up the rope swing. Then Marn placed a paper wad in one of the loops and Fluff jumped onto the rope, climbed up, grabbed the paper wad in her mouth, and flung it out to the ground. Sometimes she would simply carry the paper wad in her mouth as she made her way back down. Needless to say this became quite an intriguing game of 'fetch' and we all loved joining in the fun.
Another memory was how she loved baked goods and butter. When Nana would visit she always had her toast and Fluffy would join her. Now my Mom does not really care for any animals period, but Miss Fluff won her heart as she joined Nana daily for her special toast, including licking all the butter off Nana's fingers-wow!!
As you can tell Miss Fluff was endeared by all of us. I can see her sitting at my husband's side as he read the newspaper. She seemed to like him more than me. I am not complaining just remarking with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. I know she is back at his side now, along with Hider and Goo.
Before closing I would like to tell of another great story, one that Rob reminded me of recently. It seems Bob and I were away for a weekend and Marn and Fluff came out to stay with Rob at our Tuscany Hills home. Some background-Marn and Fluff were then living together in Lomita. Since we still had Goo and Hider, when Fluff would visit she acted as if they were intruders, but we think she was just so happy to have ALL Marns attention she just could not share anymore. So, when Marn and Fluff would visit Fluff would have to abide by our rules regarding sleeping. At night our rule was to put all the cats in the small bathroom with their beds. Well, Miss Fluffy did not like this at all. Apparently, since she was so skilled in jumping she tried to escape. In her effort to open the door she ended up locking the door. Marn called to tell us that she had to take the door off the hinges to get the cats out of the room. We marveled over Fluffy's ability and how smart she was for many years.
As I end this eulogy I am hopeful that I have shown you a glimpse of our lives with Miss Fluffy and thank God for letting us all have a chance to know her. I am convinced that she is pain free now and her spry, curious self once again. We will never, ever forget her and know in our hearts that one day we will meet again in a much better place. In the meantime, as difficult a time this is for my daughter Marn and our Tad, I want them to know that their love lifted her and carried her through and they have my love and admiration forever.

Mommy are undoubtedly one of the most difficult bands to stylistically pin down within the contemporary NYC hardcore punk scene. Still, with their demo from earlier in the year and their intense live show, we knew they would be a force to be reckoned with and their debut 7" on Toxic State more than proves this. Standing far and above the demo in recording, songwriting, and performance, this is one of the strangest, wildest, and (oddly enough) emotionally revealing records to come out this year. I haven't read lyrics that affected me like this in a long time, let's just say that much. All in all, it makes for one of the most abrasive and difficult listening experiences in all of 2015 punk. As always, the packaging, much like the music of Mommy, is strangely beautiful. Essential.

(A book in the Darkwar series)
An omnibus of novels by Glen Cook
The world grows colder with each passing year, the longer winters and ever-deepening snows awaking ancient fears within the Dengan Packstead, fears of invasion by armed and desperate nomads, attacks by the witchlike and mysterious Silth, able to kill with their minds alone, and of the Grauken, that desperate time when intellect gives way to buried cannibalistic instinct, when meth feeds upon meth. For Marika, a young pup of the Packstead, loyal to pack and family, times are dark indeed, for against these foes, the Packstead cannot prevail. But awakening within Marika is a power unmatched in all the world, a legendary power that may not just save her world, but allow her to grasp the stars themselves...From Glen Cook, author of the "Black Company" and "Dread Empire" novels, comes "Darkwar", collecting for the first time, the stunning science fantasy epic that originally appeared as "Doomstalker, Warlock, and Ceremony".

Maths really isn't my speciality but I've really been interested in engineering but I'm struggling to know which one doesn't require maths
Most Helpful Girl
Most Helpful Guy
They all require math. The first 1.5 - 2 years of engineering degrees are pretty much the same for every discipline, and there is a lot of math.
In turn the math is a prerequisite for physics. Most colleges have a fair amount of calculus as a prerequisite to physics. But I know of one uni that has a non-calculus physics requirement which you take the first year concurrently with calculus.
Then the physics is a prerequisite for classes like Strength of Materials, Statics and Dynamic, Thermodynamics, etc. During this time you will still be taking more math concurrently. Your total math will probably be around 2.5 years starting with calculus.
Then you are ready to start some actual engineering courses. That's when you branch out into your chosen discipline. That will probably be in your third year, but maybe starting late second year at some schools.
I can't speak for ALL branches of engineering. But all the ones I know about and the universities I'm familiar with are all like that. That would include the three most common branches of Mechanical, Electronic and Civil. I'm pretty sure it also includes some hybrid branches like computer engineer which leans more toward the software side of things.
What you need to do is check your local colleges and look at their programs. Go to the engineering department and talk to somebody. That's by far the best way to find out for sure about every program they offer.00|00|0

Best with Dry Herb $149
It's fantastic that vapers nowadays have such an immense variety of excellent tiny vaporizers to choose from. The high prices of these compact devices, however, have always been a major drawback; but the HipVap is an exception. For the price of $149, it's an amazing value. But is the affordable price on par with the performance? Let's find out.
The HipVap is an ideal vaporizer for vapers who are looking for a precise and reliable vaporizer that will operate without issue. The product offers regular features alongside some groundbreaking add-ons that, alone, may be reason enough to upgrade from your current vape.

The HipVap Weed Vaporizer comes with flexible temperature control. You can adjust the temperature between 65-221°C using the buttons on the left of the item. This temperature range is great for dry substances, and some concentrates and oils.
When it comes to vapor quality, the result is determined more or less by the temperature setting you select. For our first tryout of this unit, we started with a temperature setting of 190°C (374°F), gradually increasing the temperature every minute by 10°C until we reached 220°C (428°F). At moderate temperatures, the vapor is warm and smooth, but at higher temperatures it is quite harsh, causing our reviewers to cough violently. We discovered that the best temperatures for using the HipVap are below 200°C, though the dry herbs were vaporized thoroughly at all temperatures.
Size & Portability
The HipVap passes the size and portability tests with flying colors. The shape of the HipVap is designed like a hip flask, small and curved to fit in your pocket comfortably. It really is quite light and tiny, to the point where you may almost forget that it's in your pocket. It isn't flimsy, though; on the contrary, the device feels solid and seems built to last. We recommend, however, that you don't keep it alongside anything in your pocket, since the buttons are extremely sensitive and can accidentally be pressed.
The battery life is decent too, allowing you can enjoy several vaping sessions throughout the day without worrying about the device running out of battery.
Helped by its size and portability, the unique design of the HipVap allows it to be extremely discreet. You can use this vaporizer with ease and without attracting too much attention in public thanks to its hip-flask appearance. The only thing that prevents the HipVap from scoring a perfect '10' in this category is the fact that vapor does tend to leak from the mouthpiece, which can leave a scent trail.
Accessories & Applications
The HipVap kit comes with a bunch of accessories, which maximize its value. We aren't quite sure how such a good deal is selling for such an affordable price. In the box comes the HipVap Vaporizer, eight oil wicks, two pods, three screens, two additional mouthpieces, ten pipe cleaners, two odor-proof bags, one charger, and an instruction manual. The device also comes with a two-year warranty on the product, which is quite a long duration and allows you to vape peacefully without worrying about anything.
The two 1700 mAh lithium-ion batteries used in this vaporizer provide 2.5 hours of consecutive use but, of course, this timeframe is subject to change according to the temperature setting. Two hours is the average length of battery life, even with fluctuating temperatures. To save battery, the HipVap vaporizer is programmed to shut down automatically if not in use for 10 minutes.
There are a few minor quirks that prevent this product from being the absolute best, but they are not enough to overshadow the great value and features of this kit. Ultimately this vaporizer provides adjustable and consistent temperature settings and excellent vapor quality every single time.

Release - Bury Labour Group Leader joins Green Party
Mark Ereira-Guyer, long standing St Edmundsbury councillor and current leader of the Labour group, has resigned from the Labour Party in dismay at the Government decision to give the go-ahead to another runway at Heathrow, and has applied to join the Green Party.
Mark said
" The vast environmental changes wrought by humanity now threaten us in a most profound way, and the Government's decision to go-ahead with a third runway at Heathrow does nothing to protect us all from the catastrophic impact of climate change and environmental degradation. Alongside their support for expansion at Stansted this is just too much to bear. I am committed to working towards a better world and I want to see the UK government provide firm global leadership in combating climate change.
Not doing so today has meant, with a heavy heart and great sadness and after 27 years of Labour Party membership, I have been compelled to hand in my Party membership. I believe that the Party has completely lost its connection with its membership and simply refuses to listen to those it should do.
I look forward to continuing to represent the interests of the local community I represent on St Edmundsbury Borough Council as an active and energetic exponent of environmental issues and social justice in Suffolk, the region and globally as a member of Suffolk's Green Party team. "
Cllr Ereira-Guyer served as a St Edmundsbury councillor from 1995 to 2003 and again since May 2007 as representative of the St Olave's ward. In the earlier period he held several prominent positions in the controlling Labour Group as Deputy Leader, Cabinet Member for Culture and Chair of the Transport & Public Works Committee. In 1997 and 2001 Mark contested Bury St Edmunds for Labour in the General Elections; running a close second to the Conservatives.
Mark has lived in Bury St Edmunds for 15 years, and as a businessman works as charity advisor and consultant; he has two children with his partner, Gaby. He is also a school governor at Howard Primary School and is a trustee, and active volunteer, for many local organisations.
Councillor John Matthissen, Suffolk Co-ordinator of the Green Party, said :
"We very much welcome this long overdue recognition by Mark of his true political complexion. He is well known to many local greens for his work with Greenpeace and development charities, and his regular attendance at the Bury Green Fair. We now have representation on three of the seven councils in Suffolk, and are well-placed to move further ahead once decisions are made about the future shape of local government in the county."

text: AfricaMore Kenyan sect members killed Kenyan police vow to intensify crackdown on the outlawed Mungiki sect. 09 Jul 2007 10:24 GMT Slumdwellers of Nairobi are bearing the brunt of the crackdown [AFP] The Mungiki sect was banned in 2002 and have been blamed for the deaths of more than 40 people since March. The government crackdown has left at least 76 Mungiki members dead and seen more than 3,000 arrests throughout Kenya. The latest violence has set off a debate, with critics accusing politicians of exploiting the country's jobless youth to spark unrest ahead of presidential elections at the end of the year.

Editor's Note: Marie Collins is an Irish sexual abuse survivor and a member of Pope Francis' Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. She wrote the following statement for NCR following the commission's decision Saturday that fellow member Peter Saunders take a leave of absence from their work.
As a survivor of child clerical sexual abuse I spent many years silent, then many years speaking out to expose the way the Catholic Church had protected itself and abandoned children to the abusers in its midst. The anger I felt at the continuing reluctance by many Church leaders to report the perpetrators, to cooperate with civil authorities, to treat survivors with justice was overwhelming.
Then came the Pope's decision in 2013 to set up the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors and my own appointment to that body. This Commission was being put in place to work on devising policy and structural change which could be recommended to the Pope to improve child protection in the future and ensure that all church leaders would implement these policies.
I had to decide if there was any hope that this Commission, through its advice to the Pope, would bring about permanent change within the universal Church or would it be a wasted effort, just a PR exercise. In the end I decided that if there was any hope at all, of protecting children in the future better than in the past, then I should take part.
You do not need to be a survivor to be passionate about the safety of children, about ending the horror of child rape and about change in the Church. I have found the members of the Commission to be sincere individuals contributing from their own area of expertise to the development of new policies.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
They are working towards the implementation throughout the world of best practice in safeguarding, education in the area of abuse and justice for survivors. Policies produced are then recommended to the Pope. They are not pawns complicit in a PR exercise but good people with the safety of children at heart.
I have been asked about the Commission discussion and vote last Saturday at our Plenary. Why the silence and why have I not walked away? I have fought for transparency in the Church and in this case we must have transparency also, it is only fair to all those who feel they have once more been betrayed but the Church.
So I will now explain. I speak here on my own behalf and not as a representative of the Commission.
Related: Collins: Abuse commission member's leave followed difficult discussions on group's purpose
The discussion on Saturday arouse because of a difference in understanding of the mission and the powers of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. If a member cannot commit to work on policy development -- which undoubtedly is laborious, tedious and slow -- while the other members are deeply committed to it, an impasse is reached.
Any expectation that the Commission can attack or demand things of the Pope or insert themselves in particular cases ignores the actual mandate the group works under. I understand the frustration, the emotion and the anger about what is still happening and should not be! But it cannot be addressed by the Commission.
It was reported by the Reuters news agency after a press conference Saturday that Juan Carlos Cruz, a courageous Chilean survivor battling for justice, said "the Commission is a disgrace, they think rape and child abuse is something that is behind us already."
This is not true. It's for the very reason that it is NOT behind us that the Commission members are working so hard to change things.
The vote was not planned beforehand, it was not anything to do with any Vatican department. The issue was brought to the meeting by one of the lay members. The vote only arose after a discussion which lasted nearly two hours.
I obviously cannot quote directly what was said without breaching the confidentiality of the members but topics covered included: the difficulty in sharing candid views openly in meetings if what is said is then to appear in the media or to be shared with others outside the Commission; the difficulty in working for the Pope while in public attacking him; the concern of members working on policies -- which are sensitive and in need of development -- that they may be made public or shared with those outside the Commission prematurely.
This is the context in which not always being able to say in the press exactly what you wish was addressed. Not that what might be said may be anti-Church but because it may breach the trust of other members and their work.
The main issue was whether there was willingness to become engaged in the policy work of the Commission or not. When Peter could not commit or give a time frame as to how long he might need to reflect, then a lay member of the Commission proposed a vote.
The proposal, as clearly as I can remember, was that he take a leave of absence to decide how he could contribute to the Commission. It was not a vote of no confidence. All present except myself voted for the proposal.
I abstained but understood why my colleagues were voting in the way they were. I was very sad as were many others that it had come to this very difficult point.
It was only then that the Commission members were made aware by Peter that Juan Carlos Cruz was in Rome. No one had any idea he was travelling to Rome, it seems with the belief that he would be meeting with the Commission.
The members decided to issue a press statement about the leave of absence as an act of transparency. If we had not, it could be said we were covering it up. I do not know by what means it was transmitted to the press but it was written by the Commission, not by any other Vatican entity.
I have worked on the Commission now since our first meeting in May 2014. It has not all been plain sailing. I have concerns about what is happening in the Vatican Curia in relation to our work.
As I said already I have every confidence in the Commission and its members. I do not have the same confidence in those whose task it is to work with us within the Vatican and implement our proposals when approved by the Pope.
I feel strongly that anyone criticising the Commission is choosing the wrong target. There are many of good will in the Curia but unfortunately there are still those, at this top level, who worry more about their own fiefdoms and the threat of change than they do about the work the Commission is trying to do to protect children.
If the Commission is damaged from within, these forces are the beneficiaries -- not survivors or the children of the future.
[Marie Collins is a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.]

The design team at HTC has shed some light on the future plans of the company. In an event held at Seattle, the company has announced a news that may not be good for the texting addicts. HTC is done with the QWERTY hardware for the phones.
The company has created some of the best smartphones with QWERTY hardware these years. Nowadays, these devices are becoming extinct. Sources claim that HTC is dropping this design plan as their market performance is not too good.
Surely, many of the users will be disappointed with this decision taken by HTC. Lets bid goodbye to the QWERTY era of HTC. We hope that this change brings in good cash for the company.
