CREEPY CCTV footage captured a female robber sneaking inside a home and standing over the owner while she slept on the sofa.
The brazen burglar broke into the Miami home and crept around the front room just a few feet from where Laura Lucas was sleeping.
At one point, the thief walked directly past the dozing owner so she could check inside another room.
She was caught on camera rifling through the victim's bag before making off with cash, jewellery and an expensive watch.
The robber made a swift exit after Ms Lucas' dog, Cooper, started jumping on his hind legs to greet the intruder.
Ms Lucas only realised what had happened when she checked her two home surveillance cameras.
"I looked at the video and that's when I saw what happened," Ms Lucas told Local 10.
"That's when she went down, found the wallet and the cash, stuck it here, then picked up my watch."
She said she has struggled to sleep since the terrifying break-in.
"I could not sleep the first night," Ms Lucas said. "I barely slept the next night."

I normally put my phone on the charger whenever the battery gets low. Today it ran out all the way and the phone powered itself on. I plugged it in to the charger and the green light comes on and stays on. Every couple of minutes the phone tries to power itself up, the light blinks red, it vibrates and shuts itself off, and the green light turns back on. The phone never turns on all the way (so I can't even look to see if the battery is charging).
It's been four hours! I tried switching the charger to the USB port on my computer and get a message saying that windows does not recognize the device.
With any other phone I would try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but you can't with this one! Any advice? I have brand new photos of family in there and would hate to lose them.
Good luck, I had to send mine to Motorola after the same thing, mine was still under warranty with them, been over three weeks, promised a temp replacement phone, got sent one that only works on AT&T, sent it back and got an email 7 days ago it would be 2-3 days before sent another phone, still waiting now, no word on how long it will take to fix my phone. I am so done replacing expensive phones, not to mention how much it costs to run them. If I get my phone back I am considering going back to a simple plain phone, they lasted a heck of a lot longer then these junk phones we get charged hundreds of dollars to buy and if something goes wrong you better hope your carrying insurance (which is another joke).

1Gbps internet speed coming soon! Google Fiber unvieled for US: Fastest internet connection: How does Google Fiber work?
1Gbps internet speed | Google Fiber | Fastest internet connection
This finally makes Google an ISP after working on it for more than 2 years. Google finally announced Thursday that the company's ultra-high speed internet service Google Fiber would become available to the residents of its test community Kansas City starting in September. Instead of a broadband connection, Google Fiber is composed of thin optical fiber lines that run directly from a person's home to a data center, which is then in turn connected to the national internet backbone.
Residents of each of Kansas City can preregister for Google Fiber, for $10, and once they hit a critical mass (about 40-80 homes) they will be approved for installation. The more people that sign up in a given area, the faster they will get their installation. And once the installation happens residents can pay for fiber internet, but government buildings, libraries, and schools will get gigabit internet for free.
Installation charges will be 300$ and one time payment which includes a network box for home and one mile fiber cost which will run from street to home. Google fiber works on fibers running directly to your home and at the end of it will be a network box. So the only requirement for installation is the Network Box – The modem/router with built-in firewall and WiFi. Simple is'nt it?
It is not just internet, there is something more than that. Google will also offer Fiber TV, a television service which mainly requires V Box ( A set-top box needed for each television) and Storage Box (Local storage and DVR, can record up to 8 shows at once, access as a wireless access point).
Google fiber tariff plans:
Gigabit internet : $70/month
For the very reasonable price of $70 a month Google is offering up 1Gbps internet, along with the network box and 1TB of cloud storage. As we mentioned installation charges of 300$ once.
The Google Fiber project first started in February 2010, when Google announced that the company planned to build an ultra-high speed internet network in a select US city that was willing to partner with them.
According to Google, the response was overwhelming. The company received invitations from almost 1,100 US communities and close to 200,000 individuals, all expressing their desire for faster internet service. Some cities even tried doing stunts hoping to attract the Google Fiber project, with one city mayor even jumping into a frozen river and posting the request on YouTube.
Yes, we know what you are thinking…….When will this even come to India? Some are even planning to shift to Kansas city already which is not an option for Indians. We will have to wait and see. We though have fiber technology in India but not of this speed.

Dalkey Archive Press
Related: American literature - publishing
The Dalkey Archive Press is a small publisher of fiction, poetry, and literary criticism, specializing in the publication or republication of obscure and out-of-print works, particularly contemporary literature. The publisher is named for the novel The Dalkey Archive, by the Irish author Flann O'Brien.
Founded in Chicago in 1984 by John O'Brien, the Dalkey Archive began as an adjunct press to the literary magazine Review of Contemporary Fiction, itself dedicated to highlighting writers that were overlooked by the mainstream critical establishment. Initially, the press published works that were featured in the Review but eventually branched out to other works, including original works that had not before been published. Along with the Review of Contemporary Fiction and CONTEXT magazine, the Dalkey Archive now operates under the aegis of the Center for Contemporary Book Culture, based in Normal, Illinois. The Center is closely associated with Illinois State University and depends upon donors and endowments for most of its funding.
Modeled on such publishers as Grove Press and New Directions, the Dalkey Archive's emphasis is decidedly upon literary fiction, usually of a modernist or postmodernist bent. In the publisher's own words, the Dalkey Archive "place[s] a heavy emphasis upon fiction that belongs to the experimental tradition of Sterne, Joyce, Rabelais, Flann O'Brien, Beckett, Gertrude Stein and Djuna Barnes." One of the publisher's primary goals is to keep all of its books in print, regardless of commercial success, in the interest of maintaining the availability of works that are deemed culturally and educationally valuable. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalkey_Archive_Press [Aug 2006]

You mean data is not the holy grail? Trust Des Traynor to be the one to remind us that it's not that easy. According to him, insights coming from data are just one part of the puzzle. Companies in different markets with different challenges will have other forces governing their decisions, such as competitive pricing models and being customer focused. This will result in those companies needing to make decisions counter to what they are learning from looking at data.
In this podcast, INDUSTRY speaker alum Maggie Jan underscores the importance of looking for trends in data and questioning your natural intuition regularly.
You must not dismiss working with data because you are not a "math person". So says Heather McCloskey who reminds us that using data to make decisions doesn't have to be difficult. There are a multitude of analytic tools available to make your life easier and if you want to go deeper, you'll only need a quick refresher on statistics to make sense of what's in front of you.
At INDUSTRY '16, Maggie Jan, a data scientist at Keen.io gave a detailed talk on using data to build products that matter. She covers everything from the start when you are conducting 'Build, Measure, Learn' processes to how data can be visualized effectively.

It Is What It Is (Adults)
$25.00Ask a question
I worked with a sweet lady years ago who used this phrase ALL THE TIME! Eventually, I picked up on it and caught myself using it.
At first I thought it was a nonchalant "what'll be will be". But as I watched her walk through the battle and loss of her husband to cancer, I realized that it was her life motto. And it meant more than an "eh" moment. It had more meaning. She took what life threw at her, and praised the Lord in spite of and in the face of immense grief.
It became a beautiful phrase that I now speak to myself silently more than out loud. But it's spoken softer and sweeter in my spirit.

It is in man's nature to always strive to improve his life. He is always looking for cures for diseases, technology and ways of getting more money. Lately, there has been an increase in the number of people who are opting to use alternative medicine. It may be because at times traditional medicine does not offer them much else. One of the forms of alternative medicine that are first gaining popularity is cryotherapy. Cryotherapy utilizes extreme cold temperature to treat lesions which could be malignant or benign. There are many success stories from those who have used this form of treatment, and sometimes you wonder what else it can treat. In this article you will know the benefits of cryotherapy.
One of the most common uses of cryotherapy is to relieve pain. It acts by the application of localized freezing temperature to the targeted area which in turn deaden the nerve thereby numbing pain. This therapy has proven useful in the relief of pain in a way that has many marveling.
Cryotherapy has also been used to reduce inflammation. Patients with inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis benefit from cryotherapy. When a patient enters into the cryotherapy capsule known as 'cryosauna', they spend a controlled amount of time in there and when they come out the inflammation has gone down exceedingly. Patients with arthritis seem to love this treatment because once it is done, they enjoy reduced inflammation a relief of pain.
How I Achieved Maximum Success with Resources
Depression can be dealt with using cryotherapy. You will be surprised that many people suffer from depression and to most the idea of taking drugs does not appeal to them. This has led many who suffer from depression to strongly consider cryotherapy as the preferred form of therapy. Once a patient lives the freezing room, there is increased blood flow and a burst of endorphins which cause the patient to feel good cancelling out the symptoms of depression.
The Beginners Guide To Resources (Chapter 1)
Some prominent celebrities have cryotherapy as a beauty treatment they argue that cryotherapy improves blood flow in the body that results in glowing skin. Cryotherapy is fast becoming a sought-after beauty treatment mostly because of the beautiful glow that the skin gets. Its safety and the added benefit like the energy burst has made it quite popular.
Cryotherapy is also useful in the control and treatment of insomnia You cannot undermine the struggles of those with insomnia. In fact, lack of sleep can lead to other serious conditions such as depression and even anxiety. When those suffering from insomnia undergo cryotherapy, they have regular sleeping patterns. Those with a history of insomnia understand the significance of a regular sleeping pattern.
When you have fatigue, cryotherapy can be of benefit to you. When one undergoes cryotherapy they enjoy heightened senses and an energy boost. The increase in the flow of blood throughout the body is attributed to cryotherapy.

Attention Edgecomb residents!
You have an opportunity to participate in democracy!
You have an opportunity to write your own tax bill!
Your town meeting will take place at the town hall at 10 a.m. Saturday.
Go ask questions! Go exercise your citizenship! Go speak your mind!
We are incredibly fortunate to live in democracies – that's right, democracies.
While our country is a republic – we elect representatives to govern us but play no direct role in federal decision-making – each town in Lincoln County is a democracy. The town meeting makes up the legislative body – the equivalent of Congress.
Don't whine about the "town fathers" and what they did or didn't do – they couldn't do anything without your say-so at town meeting.
Read the warrant articles – a lot of them start with the words, "To see if the voters will authorize the selectmen …" or some variation thereof.
As for what you're going to vote on, you'll find more on page 7.

West Cornwall MP Derek Thomas recently hosted an event designed to encourage employers to take on people with disabilities.
Working with the Department for Work & Pensions, the Disability Confident event at Marazion Community Hall showcased to employers how people with a disability can make a major contribution to business success and challenged negative attitudes to disability employment.
Employers who turned up - including Morrisons, Tesco and the Tree Care Group – were serenaded by the Marazion School choir before meeting a range of organisations that represent people with disabilities and hearing about the benefits that they can bring to the workplace.
"Disabled people make up almost 20% of the working age population but employers can be reluctant to employ them, missing out on a valuable pool of potential and skills," said Mr Thomas.
"There are many myths about disabled people taking more days off sick, costing money to have workplace adjustments and creating a fear of discrimination claims but all of these assumptions are incorrect.
"In many ways, this event at Marazion was the start of a journey as we look to reduce the enormous gap between the numbers of able-bodied in work and the number of people with disabilities who are in employment.
"Employers were able to find out what is available in terms of support and could also access some very useful information in terms of sharing best practice."
Among the speakers, Morrisons recruitment manager Malvina Jenkin spoke about the company's efforts to encourage people with disabilities into working for them while Hannah Bird, who is hard of hearing, gave a case study of what it is like to work with a disability.
Martin Williams, from Jobcentre Plus, outlined the Disability Confident scheme and his colleague, Mike Dann, explained what Jobcentre Plus can offer in terms of help for employers who take on people with disabilities.

#2,242 - Room
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi - ★★★☆☆
I guess this is the best glory-of-war-in-January movie yet. Still, I walked out wondering what the point of it all was. On the other hand, I didn't really have any idea what happened with Benghazi, and now I can pretend like I do.
Victoria - ★★★☆☆
I watched for the gimmick, because I like movies with weird constraints, or, as you say, gimmicks. I found this one simultaneously a) pretty interesting and b) a little flat. Each section is a little bit less than the one before. The long first section is necessary to convince you that the heist portion could happen, which is okay, but the 'on the run' portion is where it fell down for me.
Joy - ★½☆☆☆
This was lousy! Just a big messy melange, curiously devoid of movie magic. It reminded me of American Sniper in the way it constantly looked like actors on a set, and never like a *movie.*
Room - ★★★★★
This was great! The perspective and how it parcels out the information, the plotting, the performances, all great. I just hope it gets seen enough to win all the prizes it deserves.

Guatemala packs more biodiversity in a
land the size of Ohio than any country
three times its size in the Americas.
Come experience the range of its natural beauty through a series of guided
excursions that carry you from the tropical lush lowlands of the Rio Dulce
to the semitropical and temperate cloud forests of the Altiplano in Guatemala's Highlands. This tour includes visits to the Mario Dary Biotope
where macaus, toucans, and the elusive Quetzal live in a rainforest also
home to more than 50 varieties of orchids and bromeliads and to Lake Atitlan
, judged by Aldous Huxley to
be "the most beautiful lake in the world." At the lake, you visit
the San Buenaventura Nature Reserve, which preserves and displays the lake
basin's unique ecology. On the Lake's Southside you are guided through a coffee plantation owned and operated by a Mayan cooperation where gourmet-quality coffee (arabica) is organically grown,
processed and packaged. You will also hike the skirts of the lake's
volcanoes to see changes in flora and fauna from lakeshore to higher
elevations. This tour includes side trips to the Spanish colonial city of
Antigua and to the
indigenous cultural and artisan market center of Chichicastenango. It also
offers a supplemental overnight package to Tikal in the Peten Rainforest where
nearly 250 bird species share space with a wide range of exotic jungle
plants and animals amidst the most impressive ruins of the ancient Mayan

There can be many perks to owning your own land. One of these is the potential for the resulting ownership of valuable natural resources that may be found on that land. What are some of the most commonly found natural resources people find on their land, and how do they go about discovering the presence of these resources? Let's get straight to some basic answers to these questions.
Commonly Discovered Resources
First, you need to know what you are looking for. Natural resources vary in type and quantity based on geographic regions. Geography, weather, altitude, and even plant and animal life unique to any given area all play a role. Here are some somewhat common and often valuable natural resources people find :
Natural, Springs, Water Source
Mushroom and Fungal Resources
Game, Meat, and Fir Resources
Rich Soil
A Desirable View or Geographic Position
Exclusive Access to Nearby Mountain or Water Resources
And Many More
Discovering Natural Resources
Above, we've listed some of those more commonly discovered resources. Some of these are easy to become aware of while others require a bit more investigation. Here are three approaches to take that often lead to such resource discoveries.
Explore by Foot
As fundamental as it may seem, exploring the entirety of your land by foot or by ATV can be quite educational. Being so up-close with the land in this way will provide a deep picture of much of the resources that will be available. Consider mapping out the land or recording found resources throughout the excursion. Also, consider doing this during different seasons as this will determine certain, seasonally-exclusive resources' availability.
Explore by Air
In addition to land-based exploration, exploring by air can also be a great way to discover natural resources on your land. This can be done via aircraft in larger venues and remote-controlled drone in smaller applications. Either way, a higher perspective looking down will see all sorts of features not apparent via other methods of information gathering.
Explore Below Ground
Finally, consider below-ground exploration. Not to be confused with manual digging approaches, today's technology allows for some great, underground monitoring capabilities available for rent or purchase. With these types of equipment, one can use advanced physics to map out underground geology and composition. Oil, water, minerals, and soil qualities can all thus be found in this way.
If you are out to become aware of all of the natural resources your land has to offer, these three approaches will certainly provide for plenty of discoveries. In addition, potential for the cultivation of future, natural resources on the land may also subsequently be able to be envisioned.

Annual Review 2016-17
Our mission of supporting people to live fulfilling, independent lives – and making sure that they lead the way in achieving this – is now more important than ever. Despite continued attention on mental health, we know that there are still not always enough resources at the front line, and services continue to disappear, often leaving people without the support they need.
Of course, we need to reach as many people as possible, and this year, we were excited to expand our personalised community support provision to Wokingham and Staffordshire, as well as extending our advocacy provision in Rochdale and Warrington to encompass all statutory and non-statutory advocacy for these local authorities from one point of access.
We are more convinced than ever of the value of strength in partnership, and we are forging more and more working links with organisations that share our principle of working alongside people on their journey towards better wellbeing. Examples this year included co-delivery of services with partners in Warwickshire, Hampshire and Warrington. We expect to see more of these partnerships in future and look forward to seeing how many more people we can reach by pooling resources with like-minded organisations.
It's sometimes difficult to meaningfully quantify the value of the support we provide, so we were really excited this year to share the results of a social return on investment study of our peer support. This study has enabled us to articulate the combined value of positive outcomes experienced by people both giving and receiving support. We hope it will help us and others to promote peer support and cement the reputation of this vital method of sharing experiences to improve wellbeing.
As ever, we are inspired and guided by the people we support, and are constantly looking for new ways of ensuring they lead the way in setting our direction of travel. This year, we have been acting on the feedback to our service user involvement and leadership survey to ensure that every team has set plans to expand and improve the opportunities we offer for people to be involved in Together's work and shape our support.
I hope you enjoy reading about our activities and achievements this year.

Automatic levels, such as those from Leica and hedue, automatically adjust horizontally the target line with a compensator. Since the compensator has a limited working range, a preliminary setting employing the screws and the circular level is necessary. With the levels, height differences can be determined or machines and structures can be aligned.
A digital level simplifies determinations of height differences considerably. Levelling rods are used, on which a bar code is printed. The digital level is able to read the barcode and show the height difference between two readings on the display.

When I became a Christian, I had a good grasp of what "salvation" meant and felt confident I was saved from my sins by Jesus' death on a cross. For some reason, I always figured this was enough so I essentially just chose to ignore certain other words I frequently overheard in the church setting.
One such word was "sanctification."
sanctification: the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy; God guiding us to maturity, a practical, progressive holiness.
I now realize one of the reasons I had no desire to learn its meaning was because I was scared. I was scared of the possibility that if I understood and embraced what sanctification meant, it might force me to change, or maybe I would be changed without even wanting to be. And all this change might even force me to leave my safe little world of "comfortable Christianity." Like I've said before, in an interesting and counterintuitive turn of events following my brain injury, God started teaching me so much about my faith and made me aware of so many "truths" that I failed to recognize before. One of these truths is the power found in this simple yet powerful word. This "revelation" has been instrumental in my faith journey over the last few years, over the past few months, even the past couple weeks if I'm being completely honest. Understanding and embracing that all Christians are on the same path of "sanctification" has been changing the way I view myself, view others, and how I view God. Sanctification is a word that I believe is essential to fully grasp and live out the gospel in our lives.
When I finally learned what sanctification meant, it became easier to forgive myself and get back up when I fall down. It is easier to forgive and encourage others when they mess up. I am able to do this because I know sanctification is a journey that every single one of us is on. It is a never-ending path towards holiness we are all traveling on. God knows we'll have some days that are better than others. We'll have some seasons that are better than others. But no matter how many times we falter, no matter how many times we fail, God's love and grace remain the same. We must always remember this, knowing we all serve the same loving and patient God who expects and empowers progress but never demands perfection.
Eugene Peterson once said, "There are no experts in the company of Jesus. We are all beginners." I find this quote to be so true and so applicable when it comes to the subject of sanctification. Let's try to remember this and be a source of grace, love, and encouragement to each other as we are all growing up and maturing into who Jesus wants us to be!

The relationship between landlords and their tenants can often be testy, with all kinds of strains and stresses on both sides. Now, new research shows that the problem might be far worse, with almost half of all such transactional relationships breaking down at some stage as tenants fall out landlords or landlord agents.
What's causing all the discord? According to research carried out by lighting firm Lightbulbs Direct, it's the usual suspects of maintenance, renovations and decorating. That's keeping a house or flat in top condition at all times, so that tenants are content, don't move and keep on paying the rent.
But not all landlords are willing to part with cash to maintain a property, at least to a certain standard a tenant might expect, or to renovate it every few years. It can also be the case with those using a landlord agent to do the work for them. This has led to 49% of tenants becoming involved in arguments and ongoing rows with their landlords, the research said.
Packing Up and Leaving
It's not just the odd or continual kerfuffle between both parties either. The level of disharmony between the two sides can get so high that 89% of people questioned said they would strongly think about leaving a property if a bad relationship with a landlord did not improve. And 18% of tenants who responded to the survey said they were currently in an unhappy situation with their landlord because they were unapproachable.
Broken down, most tenants said they contacted their landlord or landlord agent — or at least attempted to — when a window was broken and they wanted it fixed (66%); when they wanted to decorate a flat or house and required the landlord's permission (49%); when an appliance was in need of repair (46%); and to deal with plumbing problems or to clean the property (33%).
Some tenants, however, went much further and insisted their landlord help them to hang pictures on the walls (16%), to tighten screws on a door (8%) and to give them a hand moving furniture around rooms (7%).
Late with the Rent
Alarmingly for landlords, landlord agents and those considering getting into the business, almost a quarter of tenants questioned as part of the survey (24%) said they had failed to pay rent in the past. This was especially the case with younger renters — 44% of tenants aged 25-34, compared to 5% of people aged 65 or over.
As for those rows, it's the younger renters again that are doing more of it. The survey revealed that 65% of tenants aged 18 to 24 have had an argument with their landlord, and 66% of tenants in the 25-34-year age bracket. That compares with 36% of 55 to 64 year-olds having quarrels with their landlords and 34% of tenants aged 65 and over.
Lightbulbs Direct eCommerce manager David Tetlow said people considering renting a property should not just check the house or flat out, but also the landlord, so they know who they will be dealing with.
"Whether you've been searching for ages or it was love at first sight, discovering the perfect property is often hard to find. When it comes to renting, it's easy to be persuaded by your dream home but finding out who your landlord is before you sign a tenancy agreement is extremely important and will help you to understand how approachable they're going to be in a crisis.
"You should always take the time to research and understand your rights as a tenant and your landlord's rights to avoid any difficult situations in the future too."
Many landlords opt for the services of a top letting agent, such as a landlord agent in London W6 or elsewhere, to not only properly vet prospective tenants and ensure they are suitable, but to deal with all the various issues that arise. Fixing things, renovating and everything else that comes with being a landlord is then left to the professionals to sort out.

The story is told of two lumberjacks – an older and a younger – both known for their expertise and speed. Both were fearless lumberjacks and could clear big trees swiftly out of a forest. One the younger man challenged the older to a contest to see who could cut down the most trees in a day.
The next day the contest began and both men went with their axes and went to work. The younger man, with his vim, vigor and vitality, began in earnest chopping down one tree after another without stopping. One tree after the other fell, both men using their skill with an axe to cut down many trees. About mid-day, the younger man noticed that the older lumberjack chopped trees for about an hour and then took a fifteen-minute break. He laughed that the older man could not keep up with him, needing that break to rest.
At the end of the day when the felled trees were counted, the older lumberjack had chopped down one-third more trees than the younger lumberjack. Puzzled, the younger lumberjack asked the older, "How could you, taking a break every hour, cut down more trees that I did cutting nonstop all day?"
The older lumberjack responded, "Because when I stopped you thought I was taking a break, which I was, but what you didn't see was me sharpening my axe every time I rested."
The Moral of the Story: How many of us are trying too do the Lord's work with dull axes? How many of us are trying to fight off temptations with dull axes? During this Easter season, I challenge you and I to sharpen our spiritual axes for the building up of the body of Christ. Amen.
Pastor Bud
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." Abraham Lincoln

Here is the final installment of a series of the Top 11 things I have learned while healing from CSEC. (Yes, eschewing 10 for 11 is an overt Spinal Tap reference. "These go to 11" is the exact volume at which I intend to live my life.) These reflections seek to answer that question of how I survived, and also to provide some insight on common themes that still run through the dynamics of CSEC. My experiences as a survivor and as a social scientist can never be disconnected. This is who I am.
We've reached number one. Thank you for reading along with me and for having patience in between each post. I thought I would be able to write all of these on winter break last year, but I needed more time. Each piece has been exhausting to write, and I needed time in between each to simply breathe.
So. Here it is. The most important thing I have learned while healing from CSEC is that I only need to forgive myself for all of the mistakes and stumbles I have made along the way. I don't need to forgive my exploiter or any of the sex buyers or abusers. I don't need to forgive all of the people who looked away even though they knew something was wrong in my family. I don't need to forgive all of the companies who have exploited the land and the workers in Appalachia. I only need to forgive myself: first, because I was a child, and second, because I did my best.
Yes, I have hurt people along the way. I stuck around too long in my hometown and I was a disaster to a lot of people I met when I first moved to Boston/Cambridge. Granted, most of my faux pas were minor – I was needy and clingy to my friends…old and new. But I had also just lost my mother, who was the only person who had ever fully believed in me. I was adrift, not to mention drowning in grief.
I was also stuck in cycles be transgenerational trauma. I had been "chosen" by my mother to be the one to get away from my family and hometown: I would put an end to our familial madness of poverty, addiction, violence, and mental illness. But I had also been "chosen" by my exploiter to be his property. I did not understand how these two roles had created a push and pull in me to both hate and long for my hometown. I was living the life my mother wanted me to live in Cambridge, but was also homesick for the familiarity of Appalachia, despite the dysfunction.
Eventually, I understood I was trying (and failing) to reconcile these two roles I had been given. I felt in a state of flux and could not settle down. I did not understand how these two conflicting "assignments" prevented me from being present to the new life I was creating for myself. Yes, I did want to get away from my hometown, but I did not want to be the "city girl" my mother had always envisioned me to be.
While I loved Boston/Cambridge, it was loud and crowded and overwhelming. At the same time, I did not want to go back to my hometown, but I wanted to live in a small college town where I could walk everywhere, and feel deep sense of community. I missed running into people I knew in the grocery store and living in a college town (yes, Cambridge is a "college town," but it's really a college city).
Fundamentally, I became my own person. I was able to stop worrying about being obedient, or a dutiful daughter, or any other role people had tried to put me in growing up. I realized the abuse was not my fault and I had healed my trauma as best I could (I will always need to manage my PTSD, which is a chronic illness).
These "a-ha" moments were graceful, but urgent. As my brain rewired itself and my central nervous system calmed, I understood it was time for me to stop playing out these dueling roles that simultaneously pulled and repelled me to Appalachia.
I had already cut ties with old friends and my family out of self-preservation, so my reconciliation was really internal. I needed to give myself permission to grieve for all that I had lost – my family, my childhood, my mother, and my sense of place. But I also needed to acknowledge how strong I had become and what I had gained – a new family, new friends, employment as an academic, and a new sense of place.
Most importantly, I realized I needed to forgive myself for not knowing what I could not know while taking this journey. I wish I could have just left my hometown once my mother had died, but I couldn't. I was stuck in that transgenerational push-pull.
One former hometown friend told I would not be able to move on until I healed "my inner child." (I simply cannot stand that phrase.) I didn't have the words to tell her at the time, but, no, I did not need to heal my inner child. I needed to learn how to set boundaries and to state my needs. Ironically (or not), once I learned those things, she and everyone else from my hometown disappeared. My inner being – my authentic self – had always been a warrior. That strength is what had kept me alive.
"But maybe the only way to take the measure of a place's terror and beauty is to leave it like a bat out of hell only to be drawn back in." This is a great quote from a movie review of Kenneth Lonergan's "Manchester by the Sea." This sentence reminds me so much of my experience of being sucked back into my hometown when my mother had gotten sick. I had spent my entire life wanting to get out of there, but I only realized the beauty and mercy once I watched the person I loved the most on this planet die amongst the Appalachian Mountains that she had never been able to escape herself.
I initially resented having to return, but now that I have lived in New England longer than I lived in Appalachia, I understand I needed to return for that time so I could fully and completely leave once she died. When I was 18, I had simply run away. But once I left after her death, I closed that door completely. I needed a few years to truly separate myself, and it was not a pretty process. But for that messy time, I have finally forgiven myself. I am not perfect, but I am finally my own person.
Thank you to all who have read all eleven posts. Writing these has been cathartic. I intend to publish these lessons (and others) sooner rather than later. Stay tuned!
Also in this series:
#11 Healing from CSEC requires taking a lot of risks.
# 8 Say good-bye to "old playmates and playgrounds."
#7 Be patient and take lots of naps.
#5 Unraveling codependency is really hard.
#3 Healing can be humiliating.
#2 Unlearning obedience is essential.

College's latest Graduates sent out at Graduation 2018
One of the most exciting activities of the year took place tonight in the City Recital Hall in Angel Place.
The Moore College Graduation is a wonderful evening that celebrates the successful completion of studies and the commencement of ministries right around the world. Graduates and their families came together, along with current students of the College, staff, Faculty and members of the Governing Board, to rejoice in the chief work of the College, which is the preparation of men and women for gospel ministry in a diverse range of contexts. There was, as always, a festive atmosphere, filled with rich thanksgiving to God.
Around 600 people gathered, as 105 graduates received their awards. Through interviews and videos, and the announcement of ministry destinations for each graduate, the depth and breadth of the work of the College was made clear to all. This year graduates left us to serve the gospel of Christ in England, New Zealand, Taiwan and New Caledonia, as well as rural Australia and across the city of Sydney.
One of the highlights of the evening was the Graduation Address by former Principal and former Archbishop of Sydney, Dr Peter Jensen. In his address, Dr Jensen reminded all present "that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for this world and the next, and the privilege of sharing this message is to be our life-time passion".
He particularly spoke to the parents of the graduates, to explain why their children had been "studying God".
"You will be changed by the study of God. … We are getting to know God. We are relating to him, on his own terms. … And this is not something to be undertaken lightly."
Dr Jensen gave this charge to the Graduates, "Well, you may have done four years study, or now have the MA or the MTh. Whatever you have done, your family and friends have every right to be proud of a very, very considerable achievement."
"But let me remind you: it will all have been wasted if you are not prepared to tell the world this great truth: 'God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life'."
Another highlight was a series of short videos gathered around the theme of 'Jesus, the main thing' with a selection from past Graduations. You can watch these videos here.
Dr Mark Thompson, the College Principal, spoke of why Graduation is such a special occasion in the College year. "We not only get to congratulate those who have studied with us, but we get to delight at what the Lord is doing with them now that they've left us", he said. "It is thrilling to see our graduates going out into all the world with the life-giving message of the gospel. I can't wait till next year."
We welcome your prayers for our latest graduating students as they venture out into all the world with the saving word of the gospel. Please join us in praying that their training at Moore College will have equipped these men and women to serve our Lord faithfully and proclaim His name fearlessly all their days.
A full list of all graduating students can be found in the Graduation Program, which you can view here. The text of Dr Jensen's Address can be accessed here.

What Really Happens when a Fund Breaks the Buck?
Institutional Money Market Funds Association
Money market funds have received significant press attention in recent months. This is primarily the result of a single incident in September 2008, but one which happens so infrequently that it sent reverberations throughout the financial sector globally. That incident was when a money market fund managed by The Reserve Management Corporation "broke the buck".
It is important here to quantify exactly what happens when a fund breaks the buck.
A money market fund is designed to provide security of capital and liquidity. The fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value (i.e. $1, €1 or £1), allowing the investor to have instant access to the investment and with no loss of capital. The funds achieve this by using amortised cost accounting, which permits a straight-line extrapolation of the asset price from its purchase to its maturity. Regular comparison of the amortised cost with the mark-to-market cost of the assets and the portfolio is conducted to determine whether there is any discrepancy between those two values, and to take action if any material discrepancy arises.
Whilst maintaining a constant value, the funds are permitted to have a variance of plus or minus 50 basis points from the par value, i.e. the value of an individual share can move within the range 0.9950 to 1.0050. Should any situation arise in which the value of a share moves outside this range, the fund is said to have broken the buck and the constant net asset value is lost. This can therefore be considered as the point at which the share price, calculated to two decimal places, varies from the par value.
So what exactly happened to money market funds in September 2008?
The issue largely centres around one fund – the Primary Fund managed by The Reserve Management Corporation. This fund, a US based money market fund with a mixed base of retail and institutional investors, had grown significantly in the year prior to September 2008. This was a result of a notable increase in the yield payable by the fund when compared against its peer group, which corresponded with an increase in the amount of commercial paper held by the fund. Just before the Lehman Brothers announcement, the fund had approximately USD 62bn invested.
The increased amount of commercial paper held by the fund included some paper issued by Lehman Brothers. The total exposure of the fund to Lehman Brothers amounted to USD 785m, or 1.2% of the fund's net assets.
On September 14, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy. The Reserve did not write down the value of its Lehman exposure immediately. Consequently, with investors seeking to distance themselves from any Lehman exposure, whether direct or indirect, the Primary Fund received redemption requests of USD 25bn on 15 September.
A money market fund is designed to provide security of capital and liquidity.
On 16 September, The Reserve valued the Lehman exposure at zero, resulting in a reduction in the net asset value of a share to USD 0.97. The fund had broken the buck. In a statement, The Reserve confirmed that the proceeds of redemptions would not be transmitted for a period of up to seven calendar days. However, on 19 September, The Reserve stated that it had filed with the SEC an application for an Order to suspend all rights of redemption from the fund and to postpone the date of payment of redemption proceeds for a period longer than seven days after the tender of shares for redemption. Not only had investors lost money, but they could no longer have access to their cash.
This announcement of the postponement of the payment of redemptions requests by The Reserve followed shortly after Putnam Investments announced that it was closing one of its money market funds due to significant redemption pressures. The action of Putnam was taken not as a result of any credit impaired assets within the portfolio, but due to a concentrated investor base and an illiquid market, creating difficulties for Putnam to sell assets to process redemption requests. To ensure there was no loss of principal, Putnam decided to close the fund and enact an orderly wind-down. (The fund was subsequently purchased by Federated Investors Inc.)

Are you prepared to buy your first designer handbag? Whether you are improving your components due to coming into the business enterprise after college, or just prepared to spend a little on yourself for special day, buying your first authentic designer purse is a fulfilling experience both the time you buy it, and every day after that you bring it on your person. So now that you are prepared to buy, how will you know if what you are spending for is authentic? Where should you start shopping? Moreover, how can you get the best price? Here are a few tips to help you select the right purse at the right cost for your price range.
Of course, you can watch for these handbags to go on selling before you see them. And I suggest going into the stores like www.aaabags.nu/catalog/goyard first to examine all the information I've described here before trying some of the other locations that I'm about to tell you to try. That way you will be acquainted with what an authentic product should look like and be able to make a more knowledgeable evaluation.
Let the customer beware! Not all handbags that can be bought under the producer's product name are indeed authentic! Some of these traders are advance and reveal to the customer that they are not authentic. Some of the language you will see for these types of suppliers will be terms like "replica" "faux" "mirror image" "designer inspired" "copy" and "knock – off." They range from being very inadequate representations of the designer product that they simulate to being extremely hard to differentiate. Consequently then, how will you, a novice, be able to tell the difference?
Here is a list of just some of basic principles of what to look for while you shop for an authentic designer purse. First, the purse should become from the best material. This is where the famous designers vary from the remaining. From set to fur, they select only the best. Secondly, the sewing on the bag will be even with no reduce, twisted or losing line. Even business on the bag will be etched into the material, never printed out onto it; you can find it on www.aaabags.nu/catalog/goyard. Excellent designers pleasure themselves on their quality and this is their position to show off their handiwork. Third, the components on the purse will be top quality calculated items with no shade modifications in them and enclosed in plastic material until time of buy where no scrapes will happen.
The producer's logo will be etched into the steel not merely printed out or even printed onto it. These handbags truly are a work of art, which is why their prices are much higher than the regular designer is. Every effort is made to make each purse the very best. Look for a sequential number. Most, yet not all of the producers give ghd sequential figures to each purse. And lastly, yet one of the most exclusive concepts they implement, is a little bank credit cards scaled piece of plastic material known as an "authenticity certification card". This usually has the designer logo on the front and a attractive remove across the rear with a published assurance to cover all production problems. There is also a position to feedback the date of buy and the shop.
The customer should also know that most designers only accept to offer through authorized stores like www.aaabags.nu/catalog/goyard. In these traditional shops, you can know that no matter how much you select to spend on your new purse (and you will pay a lot of money here), it will be authentic as well as product new, with labels, dirt bags and credibility credit cards involved. You'll see the producer's logo right down to the cells document and document bag you bring it out of the shop in, but this is not the only placed you can buy an authentic designer purse.

Herod Farm
AS 4.5km race 340m ascent
I've done this race before and had blotted out the hardest parts in a childbirth type fashion. There is a reason everyone calls it 'Horrid Farm'... The start is up a steep tarmac track and goes on for quite a while before you hit the big stuff. I had forgotten how tough the climbs were! After the first big climb I settled into the downward heathery rough descent and was feeling like I had tried quite hard and avoided stitch so was therefore doing ok. As we approached the nursing home with a view (which I remembered from last time) I looked ahead in horror - I had totally forgotten the scrambling, vertigo inducing second killer climb!!! (obviously blocked out). This climb is seriously tough. Think staring at someone's Inov-8 tread and not daring to look down steep. At the top I steeled myself for another descent when I noticed Connor (AKA Long Legs) ahead of me, I realised I could possibly catch him up if he was struggling with his old creaky knees ( ;-) ), so it was game on! As we headed down to the track we had come up earlier I really pushed it. But so did Connor! I unfortunately didn't get my trademark sprint finish as I was overcome with a stitch which reduced me to almost a walk. A disappointing finish but I had really enjoyed the race and was hoping I wasn't too far off my previous time.
I finished 12th Lady out of 38 35:33 - 46 seconds slower than my previous time and one position lower but without the stitch I think I would have been pretty close.
Kinder Downfall
BM 15.4km/600m
In the week before the downfall I recced part of the route with Caz and the dogs. I can't believe it has taken me 35 years to go up Kinder despite living so close! I was really glad of the recce on race day as I felt like I knew what to expect for the majority of the route, having also run William Clough in another race previously.
The start of the race was from the bridge in Hayfield near the Royal Hotel. There were hundreds of runners and I was quite excited to get going. I made a few rookie errors from the start. Firstly I started too far back. This meant I had a lot of making up to do on the 'ups'. I got calf cramp shortly after Charlies cairn and had to stop to stretch it out. The weather was drizzly and I made another error in wearing my jacket. After I got back on track I stopped to take the jacket off and put it in my pack, losing even more places. This race wasn' going well! I wasn't bothered as I had told myself that I wasn't really used to racing 9 miles and I would just pace it as well as I could and enjoy it.
As I finally got going properly I caught up with Estelle who gave me short shrift and basically told me to get on with it! I carried on steadily for a while until I could start to pick out routes and then latched onto an older Pennine Runner who I decided would be a good route picker!
This worked and I bounded up the boulders and rocks and along the plateau until we came to the trig and I knew where I was! After this we followed stone flagged paths to Edale Cross then made the rocky track descent to the fields (which the farmers had kindly covered in cow shit - felt sorry for that marshal). Finally we were down onto the road by the caravan site and I was really tramming. I pushed it hard to the finish and was pleased to make up quite a few places in the last kilometre. Overall I was 18th Lady out of 67 in 1:47:53. I will definitely do that race again.
Rainow 5
BS 8km/229m
This was my second attempt at Rainow 5. In 2016 (when I was on quite good form) I ran it in 45:48 so my aim was to finish in under 45 minutes this time.
The start of this race is quite fast - heading up the tarmac road before it goes left onto a rough farm track. Once onto the track you climb up for a while before turning left and heading downhill to the first of many many stiles/kissing gates! There is a lot of opportunity to rest in this race! Everyone was well behaved and waited in line until their turn though the gates/sitles so there was no drama on that front. Once through the gate and down some large deep steps we headed up towards White Nancy. I had remembered the short sharp scrambly climb up to the big white landmark and told my legs to shut up as I staggered on along the ridge. Once on the ridge I admired the view to the left of Manchester and beyond then concentrated for another grassy climb before we dropped down to the horribly cambered fields towards home. As I was running I kept telling myself I could beat my PB, I didn't let myself look at my watch though but spotted Connor in the distance and resolved to try harder to catch him. As we joined the farm track for the descent to the road near the finish I came up behind two ladies. I stuck behind them for a bit but realised I could press on harder so I passed them and pressed on. As I got to the bottom of the track I momentarily worried I had peaked too soon but then I got another glint of Connor - I had nearly caught him up! I pushed it as hard as I could to catch him but when my friend Reene saw me coming she cheered me on - alerting Connor to my steaming up behind him! Connor pulled a sprint finish out the bag and JUST pipped me to the post and a new PB! I finished in 44:58 - 8th lady out of 55.
|My Nemesis!
Shining Tor
AS 10km/311m
Another race I have done twice before - Shining Tor is not my favourite race. It should be as its on my stomping ground in the Goyt Valley but I find the downhill stint at the end very taxing and usually end up with a stitch! My previous PB on this race was 55:45 in 2016, and I remembered finding it tough on the climbs and overcooking it leaving nothing for the finish. This time I was much more conservative on the first few climbs - especially working my way up Shooters Clough. I kept running but very slowly, and passed lots of runners who were walking up.
|Another great photo from Frank Golden Photography
As we headed up to the trig I felt like I had enjoyed the race so far and not over cooked it. On the plateau/stone flags I dropped back a bit and Connor passed me. I always find flat sections hard to progress and this was no exception. I felt a slight stitch coming but managed to avoid it by slowing down then pushing harder on the little ups, as we headed right and down The Street, I was feeling really good and in a deja-vu type scenario I caught up Connor once again! I stuck with him for ages realising that there was no point pushing it too hard on the rocky tricky terrain. After the photo opportunity it was game on along the dam wall, I tried to make a break for it but once Connor engaged his huge stride I could only watch as he passed me by. I tried til the end and saw a glimmer of opportunity as the finish funnel is around a grassy tight turn, I went for it with whippet like agility round the bend but alas, he pipped me again!
Overall I was very chuffed with another new PB in 54:44 and 13th lady out of 96 plus a great sprint in with Connor!
Lantern Pike Dash
AS 2km/200m
I decided to enter the Hayfield Fell Championship this year which consists of short, medium and long counter races. You have to complete 4 races including one of each distance. I had already done Kinder Downfall as my medium counter so I thought the Lantern Pike Dash sounded an easy Short option. How wrong was I!!? It was bloody madness and not my best effort! I told my Mum who had come along to support that the 2km race would take 10 minutes. As I stood looking up the wimberry clad hillside I uttered the words "make that 20". I wasn't far wrong! I attempted a warm up but in hindsight I probably should have gone on a decent run first as the steepness of the downhill in particular took a few days (and infact now weeks) to recover from. I remember thinking I needed a drink at the top (alcohol would have helped), very wobbly stiles, sun beaming on my head and a crap attempt at getting down the hill at any semblance of speed. Loads of people fell, I didnt as I was so slow, I made up a couple of places on the final ascent (more normal gradient) and remember making a mental note to avoid this one in future! Overall I was 6th lady out of 18 in 18 minutes 44. A very very tough race.
|Look carefully to see us crazy fools scrambling up the hillside in a steady stream!
My RunTogether group is going well, I have 4-5 regulars who are aiming at this years Whaley Waltz fell race and we have been enjoying going offroad. I love showing people the local area through running and getting off road.
All in all a great start to the fell running season. I am just crossing my fingers my calf will be ok for the next races I have planned - Grindleford, Kinder Trog, Whaley Waltz, Hathersage Gala, Bamford Carnival and the Hathersage Hilly triathlon in July.
Until next time - happy running!
|Aidan and I ran the Old Man of COniston and Levers Water in 25 degree heat on the second May Bank Holiday. My calf gave up the week after!

First, for all those of you waiting with bated breath to hear whether I finally finished Innocents: Yes, the novel is now complete in first draft. After my editor has tightened the seams and picked off the lint, it will be winging its way to you. It's a bit shorter than I'd originally imagined, but it covers the themes I intended, so I'm going to resist the temptation to expand it for no reason other than bulk.
Second, indie writer Alma Boykin has an impressive essay up about "vocations:"
What happens when experts, teachers, cultural leaders, and others tell people that they have no vocation and can not have one? When a generation is informed that not only can they not follow the paths of their fathers and mothers—especially fathers—but that such plans and dreams are outdated and pointless because the world has changed and the now-vocationless are doomed from birth? When there is no other option suggested, or perhaps no option that does not mean becoming dependent and being reminded of that dependence on a near-daily basis? I would posit that we may be seeing that today in the US, and possibly Europe as well, although various parts of Europe have their own problems that date back to WWI if not somewhat farther.
The entire essay is eminently worth your time. Please read it all – and having done so, reflect, if you will, on the incredibly common attitude, especially prevalent among young persons on the Left, that disdains the vocations of our forebears, demanding something newer / easier / more remunerative / more "fulfilling" than the occupations those forebears followed. It puts me in mind of an old Animals tune:
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know...
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you
Pure Sixties' English working-class resentment of the English working-class lot, topped with a fantasy that there's an escape somewhere, if only dyin' old Daddy and his resentful proletarian son could recognize it and grasp it. But there wasn't then...and there isn't now, here or there, as the Powers That Be have contrived to ensure.
It's not clear that the great majority of our parents, grandparents, et cetera felt that they'd been "called" to the trades they adopted. No doubt some did. Others might have gone unreflectively and more or less automatically into the family business. (Of course, that was easier when there were more family businesses and the BLEEP!ing IRS wasn't doing its damnedest to kill them off.) And others, an unknown but probably significant percentage, followed the line of least resistance wherever it might lead them. But if anecdotal evidence can be relied upon, few rebelled against "the system" as so many do today. Few looked upon the life paths chosen by their predecessors with unmixed contempt.
As loudly as the rebels of all ages have complained about the chafing of "society's rules," there has never been a successful society that didn't lay out preferred courses for its young and urge them to feel "called" to one. There's a hidden truth in there that even the canniest analysts tend to miss: the great majority of us are not nearly creative nor potent enough to design unique yet viable futures for ourselves.
It's an old observation that every man wants to be his own boss...right up to the moment he discovers what an unrelenting hardass that S.O.B. must be to keep food on the table. That's another facet of our inadequate knowledge of ourselves: our propensity to superimpose our gauzy fantasies over the hard reality beneath. For most of Mankind, individual happiness and social utility are best served by conformity: i.e., by choosing from the menu of life paths presented by the world as it is, rather than imagining oneself as a trailblazer.
Enter that lowest of all the emotions: envy. They who resent others who have made the accommodations reality requires for adequate happiness and security will do whatever they can to demean, discourage, and destroy the contented conformists around them. If the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omni-Benevolent State, with its generous welfare systems, can be induced to help, so much the better for the resenters. If they must be in chains, let everyone be so!
If you've been casting about for the covert engines that power the Leftist chaoticians laboring to twist the minds and souls of our progeny and rampaging randomly through our cities, I suggest that the answer might be found in the above.
I had a friend named Bruce, way back in college, who was something of a mentor to me. He was firmly of the opinion that "if you want society's prizes, you have to play society's game." It might have been in part a defense of his own, consciously chosen, strikingly gray-flannel path through life: get his degree, get hired by a large corporation, spend forty or fifty years laboring in its vineyard, and retire to enjoy a few years of peace before God pulls the flush chain. As I lost touch with him shortly after he graduated, I have no idea whether things worked out as he expected. I hope they did; of the people I remember from those days, he was one of the few who seemed to be at peace with himself.
As it happened, I too followed a relatively conventional path, though much of my working life was spent at smaller companies. But I was always a little disturbed by Bruce's acceptance of ways so many of our coevals spat upon. It might have been the tenor of the times and nothing else. Certainly attitudes changed dramatically after the Seventies were behind us, even if we seem to be in a period of reversion just now.
The stark truth of the matter is plain: It's a rare man who's both fit by his aptitudes to strike out on a wholly new trail and likely to be happy for having done so. "Society's game," in Bruce's words, might seem drearily conformist to the innately rebellious youth. (I'd wanted to be a baseball player or an astronaut.) But it's also rich in well proven courses, any of which can be navigated by most and will reliably repay an honest effort to do so. To choose one of those courses, to commit oneself to it sincerely, and to give it one's best amounts to victory in the "game." Remarkably, the terms of the game don't require that there be a loser.
We storytellers might be the luckiest of all men. We get to have it both ways: a conventional life path that puts coffee and cakes on the table, and a "second life" in which the fantasies we harbor that reality declines to accommodate can run free. It's a unique species of blessing, eminently worthy of a prayer of gratitude...right after I finish polishing my incredibly awkward first draft of Innocents.

Greetings, reader! You may call me..
Oh, demmit, call me whatever you please. Everybody knows me differently. I'm known as Andrina(princess of Le Court de Fromage, so show some respect!) Kaluchiz, Mambi, "that odd girl who writes during lunch", and once in a while somebody even refers to me by the name written on me birth certificate..which, if we're dealing with somebody with Mariwuss(er, that is, MARIUS...thanks to Callie for that nickname and "Coslut" alias Cosette) brains who cannot deduce the obvious, is Danina.
I shall have fifteen years on September 17, 1999, and I attend a boring public school in the midst of Filthadelphia, PA...beter known to you geography whizzes as Philadelphia. I divide my time between swooning, obsessing, swooning again, scribbling, and even once in a while doing schoolwork..yes, yes, shocking I know.
