NEWARK – An East Brunswick woman and a Kearny man who died in a single-car accident Saturday night will be laid to rest in separate services this week, according to their obituaries.
Diego Ayoso, 27, and his passenger, Celinda Cuichta, 44, were killed on Route 78 just before midnight when the 2005 Chevy Cobalt in which they were riding spun out of control, rammed a barrier and crossed over into the express lanes. The vehicle overturned, entrapping Ayoso and Cuichta. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
State police said this week the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Ayoso was the father of two girls, while Cuichta was a mother of a boy and girl.
No one was home earlier this week at an apartment building in Kearny where Ayoso lived; an email sent to Cuichta's son, Jose G. Lopez, was not returned early Wednesday.
"Appreciate your family and loved ones and live your days like its your last but responsibly," Cuichta's son, Jose G. Lopez wrote on his Facebook page after the accident.
Born in Brooklyn, Celinda Andino Cuichta lived in Bushkill, Penn. before moving to East Brunswick three years ago.
She was a sales associate at the local TJ Maxx for the past 3 years, according to her family.
She is survived by her husband, David Cuichta; a son, Jose Gilberto Lopez of East Brunswick; a daughter, Julissa Marie Lopez of Brandon, Fla.; her parents, Carlos S. Andino and Celia Correa Andino of Florida; two brothers, Carlos Andino of Bushkill, PA and Manuel Colon of Kearny; and a sister, Kathy Andino-Rodriguez of Florida.
A funeral will be held at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the Rezem Funeral Home, 457 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick. Cremation will be private. Relatives and friends may call at the funeral home on Thursday 7-9 PM.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association in Bridgewater.
Visitation and a funeral for Diego Sebastian Ayoso will be held today from 4-8 p.m. at Paul Ippolito Memorial, 252-256 Henry St. in Orange.
Ayoso was a U.S. Army veteran who was born in Orange and lived in Kearny, where he worked as a mover for Atlas Furniture Company.
He is survived by his wife, Jessica; his daughters, Julissa and Jasmine Ayoso; mother Maria Ayoso; siblings, Hector, Ruben, Angel, Carlos, Veronica and Christian Ayoso.

SAGINAW, MI — The Saginaw Spirit were blitzed in the opening minute.
And that was the difference.
Niagara hosted Saginaw on Friday, Feb. 7 and scored twice in the first 68 seconds and held on to down the Spirit 4-2.
It marked the second straight loss for Saginaw, which falls to 25-23-4-1 and 55 points, while Niagara improved to 18-27-2-5 with 43 points.
Saginaw was penalized for too many men on the ice 45 seconds into the game and Aaron Haydon made them pay with a power play goal seven seconds into the man advantage for the 1-0 lead, and Graham Knott added his sixth goal of the season 16 seconds later for a 2-0 lead.
Eric Ming broke through for his 20th goal of the season at 13:01 of the first for a 3-0 lead for Niagara and what proved to be the game-winner.
Justin Sefton got the Spirit on the board four minutes into the second period on the power play with his 13th of the year, and Kristoff Kontos scored his 20th goal of the season shorthanded in the third to draw within a goal at 3-2.
But Niagara was able to close out on the power play with a Vince Dunn goal at 16:08 of the period.
Nikita Serebryakov had 31 saves for Saginaw, and Brent Moran stopped 35 shots for Niagara.

Don't Wait Too Late,
This review is from: A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance (Hardcover)
"My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance" is what the cover says but not too much of this book is devoted to adventures, this is really the author's life biography with long stretches dealing with her repressed upbringing, unhappy marriage, teaching career, relationship with son, and her volunteer activities at a prison. Except for the parts about the search for romantic liaisons, I found the book dull and sad, what a lonely life, it seems she only awakened in her sixties to all she'd missed out on.
As to her search for a man with an ad placed in the New York Times Review of Books, I found her experiences fascinating and admire her initiative. Probably not so encouraging for seniors seeking partners since she goes from disaster to disaster with men her own age and older and does not achieve real satisfaction until she meets a lover half her age. Could be an inspiration for the middle aged with the realization that passion and lust still burn in an old body, so don't wait till 67 like this woman did to start exploring that side of life.
Bet if it had been a 67 year old man with a 33 year old woman, there wouldn't have been half as much hesitation and self doubt.

The 11 year Lick survey of 107 stars has revealed 7 planet candidates to date, all orbiting their host stars within 2 AU. The highest Msini is 6.8 MJup. We have recently enlarged the sample of stars at Lick Observatory. Doppler measurements of 82 new stars observed at Lick with additional velocities from Keck, have revealed two new planet candidates.
The G3 V/IV star, HD195019, exhibits Keplerian velocity variations with a period of 18.27 d, orbital eccentricity of 0.03 and Msini = 3.5 MJup. This star is chromospherically inactive with approximately solar metallicity.
The second planet candidate was detected around HD 217107, a G7V star. This companion exhibits a 7.12 day Keplerian period with eccentricity of 0.14 and Msini = 1.27 MJup. The star is chromospherically inactive with a metallicity estimate of +0.29 from uvby photometry.

This week was the Final Five's last chance to impress the judges before next week's semifinals round on 'Dancing With the Stars' (Tue., 9PM ET on ABC). But with America helping to steer the decisions, only J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff likely had a restful night's sleep after the season's first double perfect scores.
Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus again scored the lowest overall total from the judges, just as they had last week. But whereas the gap between Grace and David Arquette was three points, there were seven points separating her from the next lowest scorers, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke.

TRENTON — After Gov. Chris Christie announced his commitment to fund a comprehensive rehabilitation of Trenton Central High School, City Council opted last night to delay voting on a $4.2 million bond ordinance to pay for critical maintenance projects throughout the district.
The bonds are designed to pay for $800,000 worth of projects for the rundown high school building, including replacing the track and field and upgrading the auditorium, in addition to improvements at other district facilities.
"Due to the fact that the governor is supposed to be freeing up some funding for major renovations in the schools, I think we need to go back to the board of education and coordinate this because we may not necessarily need to float this level of bonds," North Ward Councilwoman Marge Caldwell-Wilson said.
In a close vote, council decided last night to delay a public hearing on the ordinance until next Thursday.
Three council members — East Ward Councilwoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, West Ward Councilman Zachary Chester, and Council President Kathy McBride — voted to continue with the hearing as scheduled.
"There's money in here to do work at other schools, and the governor said the funding was just for Trenton Central High School," Chester said.
In addition to the three projects specifically for TCHS, the bond ordinance would have funded 14 other projects through the district including asbestos abatement, new windows at Cadwalader School, and replacement of a chiller at Gregory School.
Earlier yesterday, school district officials urged passage of the bond ordinance regardless of the state's commitment to fund renovations at the high school.
"What we need to understand, and this is nothing against the governor, but it's not going to happen next week or in the too-near future," district facilities director Everett Collins said.
"We need that money desperately to deal with health and safety issues that are prevalent right now."
While Christie recommended funding the high school project, the exact scope of the work still needs to be determined over the coming months with the state Schools Development Authority, the agency that finances emergency repairs in the state's poorest districts. SDA officials have declined to say how much money they're willing to put toward the high school.
Interim district superintendent Raymond Broach said officials would work with SDA and the city to ensure there is no waste or overlap between the two efforts.

375 - Option to see non-maximized pets in tracker
Hi there,
As a relative newcomer to battle pets, love your addon - which has made my life a million times more pleasant.
What I am wondering, however, is if it would be possible to have a setting to still display pets that aren't of rare quality.
IE: I've collected all bar 2 pets now for achievements (one seasonal and one weather dependent) but I'd like to go back now and capture rare wilds, rather than try battlestone them all.
In a perfect world I'd like to be able to do it through an addon rather than tabbing out and searching warcraftpets etc - dunno how easy it would be to implement - but it'd be awesome.
Thanks for your time.

South Kitsap cuts Capital down to size
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall--although South Kitsap High School's boys basketball team almost made its 58-49 victory over Capital last Friday look easy.Emphasis on almost. Highly-touted Capital and towering center Mike Fey weren't pushovers. They put up a struggle before being chopped down to size by the Wolves' defense and a second-quarter blitz from which the visitors from Olympia couldn't recover.The win kept South Kitsap (4-0) unbeaten heading into tonight's game at Mount Tahoma. It also was another instance of an SK opponent managing less than 50 points, one of the first things proud coach John Callaghan pointed out.Partial credit for the latest defensive gem went to a 1-3-1 zone trap that made Fey, at 6-10 the tallest player on the floor by at least four inches, a non-factor on offense. He was limited to one field goal and five points before fouling out with 6:16 left in the game and his team 12 points behind.We stuck to our plan to defend the big guy, and it worked, Callaghan said, adding SK center Beau Pilon also did an excellent job.Pilon finished with 14 rebounds and eight points. He snagged five of his rebounds in the second quarter, most of which Fey spent on the bench after committing his third foul barely 90 seconds into the period.Capital was leading 21-16 when Fey sat down. From then until halftime, the Wolves outscored the Cougars 17-2 for a 33-23 advantage. The furious rally included an initial two-minute, 10-2 run that was capped by Pilon's rebound bucket and gave the Wolves the lead for good at 26-23.Both teams were aggressive and physical in the third period, but the Cougars continued to flounder on offense, scoring only five points. Two free throws by Buck Savage, via the foul that ended Fey's night, gave South Kitsap a seemingly comfortable 47-33 lead early in the final quarter before Capital finally got in gear. Sweet-shooting forward Jerry Nash buried one of his five three-pointers to cut SK's lead to 47-40 with 3:50 left. Thirty-nine seconds later, the margin was down to six points after the Wolves' John Sehmel missed two free throws, Nash was fouled and he sank one of two freebies.But clutch foul shooting by SK down the stretch, including two each by Sehmel and Ryan Letson, preserved the victory.Sehmel paced the Wolves with 14 points. Letson and Justin Dudley added 11 and 10 points, respectively. Nash finished with a game-high 21 points, 15 of them on three-pointers. Fey had six rebounds."

WPS fills in gaps by realigning duties
May 20, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
New York — Realigning key marketing and creative services activities, WestPoint Stevens has given additional responsibilities to Steven Hoffman and Nancy Golden.
Following the resignation earlier this month of Kathleen Cwirko as senior vp of marketing services, the responsibilities of that position have now been divided between Hoffman and Golden. Cwirko, a 15-year WestPoint veteran, left the major mill to become vp, sales, national accounts, at Mohawk Home.
Hoffman, vp, licenses since last September, has taken on additional responsibilities as vp, marketing services/licenses.
Nancy Golden, vp, licensing since last April, takes on new responsibilities as vp, creative services/licensing. Both assignments are effective immediately.
Before joining WestPoint last September, Hoffman was business manager, bedding for CHF Industries. Earlier he had worked at Thomaston Mills in product and sales management positions and at Springs Industries in merchandise management.
Golden joined WestPoint in 1995 as director of licensing and was involved in the Disney Home, Designers Guild, Joe Boxer and Between the Lions licenses, among others. Earlier, she was senior product director, infant bedding at Dundee Mills.

Now-a-days, the use of computer modelling takes all of the guess-work and querries like this off the table. Buy EZNEC, or another modelling program and run your own "what-ifs?". If you don't like the answer, run it again at another set of heights. Be sure to model any other (non-10M) antennas on the tower as well (simultaneously, I mean). That's the best way to answer the question, rather than obtain opinions from others who may not have the detail about your installation.

Argument-dependent name lookup
In the C++ programming language, argument-dependent lookup (ADL), or argument-dependent name lookup,[1] applies to the lookup of an unqualified function name depending on the types of the arguments given to the function call. This behavior is also known as Koenig lookup, as it is often attributed to Andrew Koenig, though he is not its inventor.[2]
During argument-dependent lookup, other namespaces not considered during normal lookup may be searched where the set of namespaces to be searched depends on the types of the function arguments. Specifically, the set of declarations discovered during the ADL process, and considered for resolution of the function name, is the union of the declarations found by normal lookup with the declarations found by looking in the set of namespaces associated with the types of the function arguments.
An example of ADL looks like this:
namespace NS
class A {};
void f( A &a, int i) {}
int main()
NS::A a;
f( a, 0 ); //calls NS::f
A common pattern in the C++ Standard Library is to declare overloaded operators that will be found in this manner. For example, this simple Hello World program would not compile if it weren't for ADL:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
std::string str = "hello world";
std::cout << str;
<< is equivalent to calling
operator<< without the
std:: qualifier. However, in this case, the overload of operator<< that works for
string is in the
std namespace, so ADL is required for it to be used.
Functions found by ADL are considered part of a class's interface. In the C++ Standard Library, several algorithms use unqualified calls to
swap from within the
std namespace. As a result, the generic
std::swap function is used if nothing else is found, but if these algorithms are used with a third-party class,
Foo, found in another namespace that also contains
swap(Foo&, Foo&), that overload of
swap will be used.
While ADL makes it practical for functions defined outside of a class to behave as if they were part of the interface of that class, it makes namespaces less strict and so can require the use of fully qualified names when they would not otherwise be needed. For example, the C++ standard library makes extensive use of unqualified calls to std::swap to swap two values. The idea is that then one can define an own version of std::swap in one's own namespace and it will be used within the standard library algorithms. In other words, the behavior of
std::swap(a, b);
may or may not be the same as the behavior of
using std::swap;
swap(a, b);
a and
b are of type
N::A) because if
N::swap(N::A&, N::A&) exists, the second of the above examples will call it while the first will not. Furthermore, if for some reason both
N::swap(N::A&, N::A&) and
std::swap(N::A&, N::A&) are defined, then the first example will call
std::swap(N::A&, N::A&) but the second will not compile because
swap(a, b) would be ambiguous.
In general, over-dependence on ADL can lead to semantic problems. If one library,
L1, expects unqualified calls to
foo(T) to have one meaning and another library,
L2 expects it to have another, then namespaces lose their utility. If, however,
L1 expects
L1::foo(T) to have one meaning and
L2 does likewise, then there is no conflict, but calls to
foo(T) would have to be fully qualified (i.e.
L1::foo(x) as opposed to
using L1::foo; foo(x);) lest ADL get in the way.

The appointment of new dean Cecilia Rouse was the most newsworthy change at the Woodrow Wilson School this week, but the addition of "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads," a sculpture by the Chinese artist and social activist Ai Weiwei, may be a close second. The installation will be on display in Scudder Plaza through Aug. 1, 2013, and according to Ai's exhibit website, it was inspired by traditional sculptures "that once adorned the famed fountain-clock of the Yuanming Yuan, an imperial retreat in Beijing." Ai helped to design Beijing's Olympic National Stadium and also made headlines in 2011 when he was detained by Chinese authorities for 81 days.
One thought on "Ai Weiwei sculpture begins year-long exhibition in Princeton"
Jon Baker '87
Not the first time animal heads have graced the Woodrow Wilson plaza. I seem to remember at least one occasion as an undergraduate, seeing a cooked pig's head on one of the shelves near the top of the "Fountain of Freedom" sculpture. IIRC, it was a day or two before campus maintenance took it down.
Surely other things have been left on the sculpture's shelves and points in the past 46 years.↓

FBFF for March 11: Finding the Balance
7 comments:
Personally, I don't especially care about variety in photo shoot backgrounds, since I'm just interested in how people style things. The outfits are different enough to provide variety. Might be fun to see ones with the bicycle--have you posted any of those? And I definitely vote for more pix with dogs and other pets in them!ReplyDelete
@Brittany - thanks for following! It's always lovely to have new readers.ReplyDelete
@Sue - I'm glad you're fine with the same background everyday. I run my blog the way I like to see others. Clear photos of the outfit and the styling. But, I will see what I can do about the bike and more of the dog.
I definitely don't get bored with the same backgrounds, since our blogs are style blogs, not photography blogs (and trust me, no one reads my photo blog, so it's clear which is more interesting to look at!). I have 3 spots that I normally take pictures, and I feel like that's enough variety given the amount of time I have to spend on it.ReplyDelete
I like your idea of breaking a blog into chunks that you work on at various times throughout the day.
I really like not having to worry about setting time aside for my blog. Since I am not blogging for money and have never accepted any form of compensation, courtesy items or other advantages, I don't have to worry about the business side of blogging which includes, but is not limited to posting with regularity. I started blogging when I had a lot of free time on my hands....that's why I started. Now, I have far less free time, so I get posts in when I can, but don't stress about it. It's just a hobby, and while it's always a goal to entertain my readers, I don't OWE them anything!ReplyDelete
I enjoyed reading through this! :)ReplyDelete
@Anne - I appreciate talented photography, but I myself am not a talented photographer, so I'm glad the same backgrounds don't bother you.ReplyDelete
@Mary - I think not worrying about the business side definitely makes blogging less stressful.
@GretchTM - thank you, Gretchen.
Hooray! Comments! I love comments!! (And cake, but if you just leave a comment, I'll manage the cake on my own).

On September 26, 2011, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Secure Remote Payment Council will co-sponsor an invitation-only symposium focused on security issues for remote payments. During this complimentary event, thought leaders from throughout the payments industry, law enforcement, academia and government will convene to discuss the following issues related to Internet, mobile and card not present payments:
- How secure are internet and mobile payments?
- What are the issues associated with using consumer debit instruments for remote payments?
- How can merchants and financial institutions decrease their losses associated with such payments?
Over the past few years, the payments market in the U.S. has experienced a surge in data compromises. Since 2004, there have been about three breaches for every U.S. resident. Some of the stolen information is then used for fraudulent payment purchases, especially through the non-face to face channels (remote) such as Internet and mobile. Fraud management systems have not necessarily been sufficiently upgraded to handle new payment technologies. While payment providers continue to invest heavily in risk mitigation programs for legacy payments, there is an urgent need for upgraded security for these new payment methods as well. These issues are particularly important at this juncture amidst a growing list of threats and compromises announced almost each and every day: RSAs SecurID, Sony's PlayStation and Michael's craft stores, among many others. The safety and vitality of the retail payments market is under assault and a wake-up call for market participants is needed. We urgently need to get ahead of the problem if the industry is going to continue to serve customers in a convenient and efficient fashion.

Polymorphism of the heme oxygenase-1 gene and cerebral aneurysms.
, 19
317 - 321.
Inflammation is thought to play an important role in intracranial aneurysm formation. Heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a novel anti-inflammatory factor. A length polymorphic variant of the HO-1 gene promoter region, comprising (GT)n dinucleotide repeats, is associated with altered levels of gene transcription: long (>= 36 GT) repeats are associated with decreased HO-1. We hypothesized that patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage were more likely to have long repeats than controls. Sixty-nine patients with aneurysms and 230 age-matched controls were genotyped, and allelic repeats were classed as <36 (short and medium repeats) and >36 (long repeats). Patients were more likely to have >= 36 repeats than controls (8 v. 4%, p = 0.037. Control patients without aneurysms were more likely to have short alleles. Thus, facilitated up-regulation of HO-1 may be a protective anti-inflammatory factor against the development of intracranial aneurysms, whilst a propensity to a more pro-inflammatory state may put individuals at risk. However, because of the relatively small sample size and modest statistical significance, the data must be interpreted with caution and the association needs to be confirmed in further samples.

Benefit planned to help family after fire
Officials and neighbors look over damages caused by an early morning residential fire that took place Monday destroying a detached double car garage and significantly damaging the back side of a home located on the east side of the 200 block of Garfield Avenue.
By Kay Braddock
An early morning fire destroyed a detached two-car garage and caused severe damages to portions of a home in Terry on Monday. Minor damages were also sustained by neighboring property.
Volunteer firemen of the Terry Fire Department responded to the blaze at the 200 block of Garfield Avenue shortly after 2 a.m. Firemen worked on keeping the blaze from spreading for about another four hours, according to Terry Fire Chief Dwight Tague.
Once on the scene Tague said it was quickly determined the garage would be a total loss, so he and about seven other firemen worked to cool down the east end of the house, which neighbored the garage. Poking holes in the east end ceiling of the four-bedroom home, fire fighters were able to water down the home's rafters.
"We're just lucky we didn't lose more structures," Tague said, noting the tight quarters that exist between homes on that block.
Including the former county courthouse, which contains a remodeled apartment, six residences are housed on that block. About a 10-foot space exists between neighboring homes on either side of the house.
Homeowners Todd and Misty Twiford called in the fire just as they were preparing to go to bed. The couple had returned home from work at Roy Rogers Tavern about an hour earlier and had been visiting in the kitchen.
"That's when Misty noticed the glow out the back window," Todd Twiford said.
Using his cell phone as he stood outside, he recalled "watching the garage going up in flames" and repeatedly telling dispatch operators to "get somebody over here!"
The family of five, including two daughters ages 8 and 5 and one 15-year-old son, stood outside the home and watched as firefighters worked to keep the blaze from spreading beyond the garage. The younger children were later taken to spend the night with family in Terry.
"I just can't believe how fast everything can be gone in an instant, before you know it," Twiford said.
Among the losses were the family's car, a 2002 Subaru Outback, a dirt bike, and furniture and clothing items stored in the garage. Water damages were also sustained throughout the east side of the home, including a walk-in closet that housed electronic items.
Walking through the home shortly after the fire, Twiford said was a difficult experience.
"It was starting to make me sick," he said. "I couldn't believe it, so we had to leave." Adding, "It'll just take time to make it feel like home again."
But despite the losses, Twiford said he is left feeling grateful.
"(I'm) just thankful we're not planning a funeral," he said. "Everything lost was just material."
Twiford's appreciation extended to fire fighters who arrived on the scene.
"I'm so grateful for everybody who was there," he said. "They did a great job."
After investigating the scene Monday morning Deputy Chief Fire Marshal Jerry Smith determined the likely cause of the fire could have been the 2002 Subaru Outback parked in the garage just about an hour before the blaze started.
"There was so much damage," Smith said of the scene. "There wasn't a whole lot to look at."
There was no electricity to the garage and therefore no space heater or similar electrical item, which can initiate a fire, Smith noted.
The fire was ruled accidental, unknown.
Although the family, who had just moved into the home about four months ago, was in the process of acquiring home insurance, Twiford said he wasn't sure of the status of insurance on the property.
The family is currently staying at the Kempton Hotel, through donations of the the American Red Cross, which has also provided for funds for clothing and other necessities.
A March 19 benefit pancake and sausage dinner is being planned to help the family replace and repair items lost. The dinner will be held at Roy Rogers Saturday, March 19, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.

What the mainstream media neglects to mention about Christopher Dorner
Christopher Dorner, former LAPD policeman, who went on a killing spree that resulted in the deaths of three people, has reportedly been killed after exchanging gunfire with police in a mountain cabin.
Dorner's murderous rampage and subsequent manhunt began when he shot Monica Quan and her fiancé Keith Lawrence in Irvine, California on February 3rd. On February 7th, Dorner killed a police officer and wounded two others during a stand-off near Big Bear Lake, California. Dorner appears to have lost his life when the cabin he was trapped in burned to the ground.
During this week-long episode, the mainstream media provided a lot of information about Christopher Dorner.
We learned that Dorner was a former LAPD cop. We learned that Dorner was a former Navy reservist. We learned that Dorner graduated in 2001 from Southern Utah University where he majored in political science. We learned that Dorner earned awards for rifle and pistol marksmanship while in the Navy Reserves. We learned that Dorner had been fired from the LAPD in 2009 for allegedly making false statements about a fellow officer. We learned that Dorner had written a lengthy, hate-filled manifesto prior to going on his killing spree.
What we did not learn was that Christopher Dorner was a liberal.
Here's what the mainstream media has tended to "overlook" in its "reporting:"
Dorner supported gun control. Dorner was a fan of CNN and MSNBC. Dorner "embraced" the LGBT community. Dorner was a big fan of Piers Morgan (in his manifesto he wrote: "Give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card"). Dorner praised President Obama and criticized those who disagreed with him. Dorner ranted against the NRA. Dorner mentioned Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad O'Brien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper and encouraged them to "keep up the great work and follow Cronkite's lead." To the head of the NRA, Dorner wrote: "Wayne LaPierre, President of the NRA, you're a vile and inhumane piece of sh*t. You are a failure of a human being. May all of your immediate and distant family die horrific deaths in front of you."
Examples of Dorner's liberal leanings can be found throughout his manifesto. Sadly, many news outlets refused to report on ALL the pages of the manifesto (specifically those that shed light on Dorner's liberal ideology).
Why wasn't Dorner's political persuasion big news? After all, whenever there is a mass shooting and/or murderous spree around the country, the media immediately shifts into overdrive attempting to tie in the shooter(s) with the Republican or Tea Party, or conservative ideology. Even when there is NO link, the media will manufacture one until the facts come out to prove otherwise.
Remember Jared Loughner - the Arizona shooter? Immediately the media tried to tie in Loughner to the right. Paul Krugman of the New York Times implied that the shooting took place because Democrat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (who was wounded during the shooting and has now become Obama's emotional pawn promoting anti-gun legislation) seat was not won by a Republican. Other "journalists" tried to blame Sarah Palin - saying Palin's remark "Don't retreat - reload" or Palin's map on her website, using targets on key states that Republicans should focus on for upcoming elections, were to blame. Eventually, all the speculation and misleading reports were exposed for what they were - falsehoods. (Never mind that Loughner had many leftie anti-American books in his reading collection...)
And what about the Aurora theater shooting? Shortly after the massacre, ABC's Brian Ross stated that the Colorado shooter - Jamie Holmes - was a Tea Party member. Ross was wrong. Holmes was not a Tea Party member, nor affiliated with the Tea Party in any way. ABC later had to apologize to viewers for their outright lie. Holmes was later found to be mentally unstable.
Closer to home, the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek was devastated when shooter Wade Michael Page opened fire, killing six people and wounding four others. Immediately, the media tried to link Page to the "extreme right." Later it was learned that Page considered himself to be a "neo-Nazi." (Lest anyone need reminding, Nazism is closer to socialism and liberalism.) Attempts to paint Page as an "extreme right-winger" later fizzled - as they should have.
More recently the Sandy Hook school shootings captured the attention of the nation. The media flocked to the scene like vultures, reporting non-stop for weeks on the mass murders and subsequent investigation in the town. Of course, in their efforts to get the story out, they obsessed over Adam Lanza's mother's gun collection. In a shameless attempt to create a link between Lanza's mom and the right, journalists reported that Nancy Lanza was a "doomsday prepper" and had a real fondness for guns as exhibited by her vast collection of firearms. It eventually came out that Lanza was NOT a "doomsday prepper" and that she considered her guns a "hobby" and loved target-shooting. Adam Lanza, the actual shooter, appears to have had mental issues and no political affiliation whatsoever.
Back to Christopher Dorner -
Here IS a shooter and killer who actually stated support of liberals and liberal causes in his own manifesto.
WHY ISN'T SUCH INFORMATION CONSIDERED NEWSWORTHY by the mainstream media?
Bias and hypocrisy at its finest.

Dear diary
I am having a lovely time here in the Midlands. Daddy is taking me for a long walk in the forest every morning and evening and I am loving to run and run here.
At night I sleep on daddy's bed and he has been giving me lots of bones to chew.
We are staying in the cottage here and daddy has been working very hard clearing some of the trees because they will start building our new house on Wednesday.
I am missing my mommy but loving getting lots of attention from daddy.
I am going to LOVE living here, life is good :-).
Dear diary
I am having a road trip today. Daddy and I are on our way down to the Natal Midlands, we will be staying there this month to supervise building our new house. Mommy and the other dogs will be joining us at the end of September.
Its my first trip down to the Midlands, I have never been before, but some of the other dogs have. I believe it is beautiful and there is lots of space for me to run...can't wait to get there...
Dear diary
I've been having a super birthday so far, thanks to all for my presents and wishes!
I got a new pink fluffy toy (pink is my FAVOURITE colour). It squeaks of course, toys are no good if they don't squeak, don't you think?
I had pink cupcakes and cheese and liver cake and biscuits...yummy!
It snowed today, it never snows here, it was like an extra special birthday present just for me, I had such fun playing in the snow :-)

2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Cab SR5 4dr CrewMax SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
This is a great truck. I have the offroad package and I love the bilstein shock that come with it. I find if you inflate the tires a little above max. It doesn't bounce on the highway as much. Which is one thing some people complain about. The response of the engine is great. Overall a great truck
crewcab size, power, great ride and handling for a big truck, engine response
mak'em in Japan with all Japanese Parts.
I owned a Ridgeline before this one but that would be tough to compare because they are made different and there is plus and minus in both, but they are the 2 best quality built trucks on the market the ones that down talk them don't know what a truck is all about or they just have bad luck and trust me as far a gas mileage a lot of people exaggerate about it. I have a heavy foot and I do mostly in town driving and I get about 14 to 15 which is not bad for a V8. I've owned a 97 Ford F150 ext. cab 4.6 V8 and a 04 Chevy Trailblazer ext. with a 6cy. that got worse and all of the other brands have a lot more problems.
Lots of interior room. Lots of power. Made well compared to many others
Go back to using more brass plated screws, you won't see any rust on them.
Had an 06 Tundra which I didnt care for too much and traded for an 07 Tacoma that I loved. After buying my wife a new Highlander the dealership made me an offer I couldnt refuse on a new Tundra, and I love it. By far the best truck out there. Standard features are amazing, dont really need to add much to it to make it the perfect truck. I got 20 MPG on the highway coming home, you cant go wrong.
Standard dual zone climate control, 6 cd changer, driver info center, huge center console, sliding and reclining rear seats, power rear window, deep bed, powerful engine with good MPG.
If you can make a 6CD changer standard then spend a few more bucks and make the electro chromatic mirror w/ compass and a back up camera system standard too, other than that its perfect.

Prepare for an Olympic opening ceremony that will beam to a billion viewers around the world a collage of British life they'll instantly recognise — No! Not queues at Heathrow passport control and opportunistic entrepreneurs hawking 50p umbrellas for a fiver outside rainy Underground stations.
No, the collage that Danny Boyle, the ceremony's artistic director, has in mind is one inspired by The Tempest. It will be a portrait that brushes aside the workaday dust of daily life to reveal a country as recognisable to Caliban as his isle "full of noises, sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt

Division shake up changes approach
Successful high school football seasons are defined by postseason advancement. But playoffs are never a gimme in the SPSL 4A, even if Kentwood has made it look that way in recent years – winning three of the last four division titles, including the last two.
Conquerors head coach Rex Norris said the reshuffled league, with changes to the divisional scope and schedule, will mean more teams will be in contention for the postseason deeper into the year.
"The season is going to play out a lot differently than it has in the past," Norris said. "In the past, the first games were such a big piece to the rest of the season. This year we are starting out with non-league games, which are tough. They will certainly cause a lot of different situations than in the past. Our league doesn't really start until like game four. That is going to play a big role. It will alter the way teams approach the games."
With the addition of Decatur and subtraction of Auburn and Auburn Riverside from the SPSL, Tahoma, Kentwood and Kentlake are apart of the Northeast division, joining Kent-Meridian and Kentridge. The standings will be based solely on division play. Each of the five teams in the split North divisions will stay within their respective divisions for weeks four through eight, which are, ostensibly, the only games that matter towards the postseason. The North schools will be seeded for week nine based on their standings, with a crossover between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. The No. 3 seeds from the Northeast and Northwest will match up head-to-head in a loser-out game. The top five teams advance to the playoffs.
Although the tension of the first few games in the regular season may be gone, don't expect SPSL coaches to rest any starters.
"The only time we consider resting players is if they are injured," Norris said. "…You want to win football games, you want to build momentum you want your team to have confidence going into the next week."
After winning eight straight Claude French trophies, Norris expects his team to again fight for the top of the division in 2014.
"Every Kentwood team has the tradition of competing," said Norris, who has a career record of 78-28 in his 10 years as head coach. "This team has a lot of questions it needs to answer."
2013 record: 7-3, losing to Eastlake in the Class 4A round of 32.
First game: Curtis on Sept. 5.
Returning starters: 10.
Goals: "Play as a team," Norris said.
Biggest game: "All of our league games are going to be big games this year," Norris said. "Especially being with our closest rivals. We have a tough non-league schedule as well, so I would have to say that our first game of the year will be a very important game for us."
Key contributors:
• Josiah Bronson (Sr, TE/DE) — SPSL 4A Honorable mention.
• Brian Campbell (Jr, QB) — Returning starter who broke three school records in 2013.
• Kyle Capperauld (Sr, DL) — First-team all-league nose tackle who led the team in all defensive stats in 2013.
• Jared Goldwire (Jr, OL/DL) — At 6 foot 8 inches tall and nearly 300 pounds, he "brings a presence and athleticism to the offensive and defensive lines," Norris said.
• Isaiah Williams (Jr, RB/DB) — "Relentless player, with great reaction to the football," Norris said.
• Makani Mafua (Sr, OL/LB) — Captain and two-way starter.
• Keaton Tompkins (Jr, OL/DL) — Returning starter. "One of the strongest kids pound for pound," Norris said.
With a few key players graduated from the 2013 team, head coach Tony Davis, in his 21st season with the Bears, said there are lots of positions "up for grabs" and that there should be some "very competitive August practices."
2013 record: 5-3 league, 6-4 overall, losing to Gig Harbor in the district playoffs.
First game: Mount Rainier on Sept. 5.
Returning starters: Eight.
Goals: "We've really been focusing on getting better each practice and stressing the importance of that," Davis said.
Biggest game: "The next one on the schedule," Davis said.
Key contributors:
• Kingston Suka and Brody Sullivan (Sr's, OL).
• Amandre Williams and Michael Clausen (Jr's, DL).
• Blake Donohue (Sr, LB).
• Defensive backs Aharon Lutgen (Sr), Cooper Larson (Sr) and OJ Jenkins (Jr).
• Tyson Cronin (Sr, WR/LB) — started two games in 2013 before breaking a bone in his foot.
• Caleb Brown (Jr, RB/DB).
• Zach White (Jr, OL/DL).
After failing to reach the playoffs in 2013, Kentlake looks to built with some veteran leadership. Kentlake last won the SPSL North in 2011, the same year head coach Chris Paulson earned SPSL Coach of the Year.
2013 record: 3-7.
First game: Graham Kapowsin, Sept. 4.
Returning starters: Six.
Key subtractions: Four starters on the offensive line, including All-State Lineman Mason Johnson, who is now at Oregon State.
Goals: "French Trophy, get back to the playoffs," Paulson said.
Biggest game: "All four division games (K-M, KR, Tahoma, KW) are equally important," Paulson said.
Key contributors:
• Micah Vaifale (So, LB) — Started four games as a freshman in 2013.
• Matt Burley (Sr, WR/DB) — Only returning two-way starter.
• Danstan Kaunda (Sr, RB) — Lead team in rushing last year.
• Tino Wells (Sr, LB) — Started games at QB and free safety in 2013.
• James George (Jr, RB) and Cody Lee (Sr, RB) — "Dynamic players who should create explosive plays," Paulson said.
• Andrew Dixon (Jr, LB) — "Physical player that will be a leader on defense," Paulson said.

Clock ticking on pact
The clock is ticking for a new contract for the teachers in the Columbiana Education Association (CEA).
Forty-five union members dressed in Columbiana Clippers T-shirts attended the school board meeting this week to say they are looking for a "fair and equitable contract."
The union has been negotiating with the board since their most recent two-year contract expired on June 30.
CEA President Julie McClish said their main concerns are job security and compensation now that the state has approved a new method of teaching evaluations.
Under the new system teachers will be evaluated by their performance through classroom observations and student academic growth. Both are weighted at 50 percent.
McClish said she isn't against the new evaluation system but believes the 50 percent weight on academic growth isn't fair, especially for teachers whose students don't take the state tests.
For example, state testing is conducted for language arts and math, but not social studies, she explained.
"The new state evaluation changes everything," she said.
She also said that with more of an emphasis on state testing poor grades could lead to a teacher being fired.
The evaluations also affect teachers' salaries and the Columbiana teachers aren't the only ones opposed to the new system. Not far away in the southern part of the county the system has caused friction between the members of the Beaver Local Education Association and its administration during recent contract negotiations.
Beaver union members have even threatened to strike, and although they attended this week's board meeting, did not speak publicly about the stalled negotiations.
The Beaver Local board in June adopted the new evaluation system policy guidelines without the union's requested changes.
When the new evaluation system was first being discussed in 2011, the Columbus Dispatch reported, some teachers across the state believed that while student growth and achievement is a good measure of a teacher's effectiveness, it isn't something that can be "fairly gauged."
McClish hopes the teachers' hard work and dedication can be seen by the district regardless of state evaluation systems, which have changed over the years.
"The teachers want to support the negotiating team and stress to the board that we are united and deserve to be rewarded for our continued loyalty, hard work and dedication … We have a unified and dedicated staff which is evident through our excellent rating status over the past seven years," she said.
She also said she hopes the board will offer a "fair and equitable agreement" at the next negotiation meeting.
As for the total wage freeze the union agreed to two years ago, she hopes it will be lifted.
The freeze was part of the recent contract and allowed for step increases only in the second year.
When approached for comment after the meeting, Superintendent Don Mook's only statement was that he hopes the next negotiation meeting goes well too, and "We appreciate and respect our bargaining unit."
A deadline for a contract has not been set and the union hopes to have one before the start of the new school year.

Catalogue entry
N05273 CATHERINE EARNSHAW AND HEATHCLIFF AT WUTHERING HEIGHTS c. 1910–11
Not inscribed.
Pen and ink, 22×29 1/2 (56×75); the head of the boy has been inserted on a separate piece of paper.
Purchased from the Redfern Gallery (Knapping Fund) 1941.
Exh: Redfern Gallery, May 1941 (50).
In 1899, shortly after her marriage and before settling in her present house, the artist rented for a few months an old sixteenth-century house Great Tomkins on Upminster Common and made a number of sketches of it. This house has since been modernized, but at the time it gave her the feeling of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and she started her series of illustrations, using the sketches for the setting. This drawing probably dates from about 1910 and the girl is taken from the same model as N05131. A charcoal study for the composition is reproduced in Wilenski, 1924, pl.2. The artist first exhibited 'Suggestions for illustrations to Wuthering Heights' at the Friday Club, Alpine Club Gallery, in June 1910, but the drawings range over a long period, from about 1900 till after 1924. According to Wilenski, 'They are not illustrations in the ordinary sense of the word, for they take small heed of the letter of the book. They are rather a pictorial equivalent of that terse and wind-swept drama; and the same is true of the later illustrations to the same book, which Mrs Clarke Hall has produced at varying intervals - for the artist has returned again and again to the strange atmosphere created by a kindred spirit' (op. cit., p.10). For further illustrations to Wuthering Heights see N05131, N05418–24 and A01064-A01073. There is also an etching of this subject.

LUDLOW — The School Committee on Tuesday interviewed Diana Roy for the school superintendent position.
Roy is the curriculum director for the Ludlow public schools and has both principal and superintendent certifications.
She has been with the school system for 34 years and has served as an English teacher and curriculum instructional leader at Baird Middle School. She also served as acting school superintendent after Kenneth J. Grew stepped down from the job.
Roy said she attended Ludlow schools and sent her children to Ludlow schools.
"I know that the teacher in front of the class is the most important factor in student learning," she told the School Committee. "I know what good teaching looks like."
Roy said that technology and textbooks are important, but good teaching is more important.
On Wednesday night the School Committee is scheduled to interview a second candidate for the superintendent position – Todd Gazda, principal at Gateway Regional Middle School in Huntington.
School Committee Chairman Michael Kelliher said the School Committee hopes to go ahead with the interview despite the forecast of snow. The School Committee is scheduled to interview Gazda Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Veterans Park Elementary School.
Kelliher said there is a chance the School Committee will vote to appoint the next superintendent following the interview.
The two finalists for the position were unanimously recommended by a Superintendent Search Committee appointed by the School Committee. The superintendent position has been advertised to pay between $130,000 and $150,000, with negotiable benefits and a three-year contract.
Roy said Gazda has experience as a school principal which she does not have. She added that she did superintendent internships under Grew and interim superintendent Donna Hogan.
Roy said that if she is selected as the next superintendent she will represent Ludlow with dignity.
"I know that teachers are hard workers," she said. She said that if she is chosen as the next superintendent she will expect the same hard work of teachers that she expects of herself.

Project Alpha
Sparrow, Jack
Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl is a Rogue Trader of ill repute, even rumoured to be a sorcerer or wyrd, and to have acquired his Warrant of Trade through piracy. Contracted to take Inquisitor Zonei Mashtishaddu to the hive world of Necromunda, he was betrayed to Puritans by his Missionary and forced to walk the plank (at an atmospheric altitude). Still, he ended up better off than his loyal friend, Turner, who fell to his death when the shuttle jinked to avoid a missile fired by one of the opportunistic nomad looters. Now Sparrow seeks to find allies to help him retake his ship.
Model: I thought about this a decade before this edit, but all I remember is that the old Vlad von Carstein has a good coat. A tricorn shouldn't require much searching, at least.

West Virginia History Hero being honored
BERKELEY SPRINGS – Nancy Russell Harvey, of Berkeley Springs, is one of nearly 50 people named a West Virginia History Hero in 2013. She is to be honored at a ceremony at the Cultural Center in Charleston on History Day, Feb. 21. Harvey was nominated for the honor by the Museum of the Berkeley Springs for her work on having the Town of Bath established as a National Historic District.
"The museum was proud to nominate Nancy Harvey," said Jeanne Mozier, president of the museum. "She takes care of the history of her town as effectively as she cares for her historic home."
Nancy's efforts to have the town officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places began in earnest in 2003, when she was appointed to the Bath Town Council. She researched and drafted the necessary ordinances and got town council to pass them so Bath could be established as a Certified Local Government, an essential first step. It was this designation that later provided eligibility for other town projects, including a major grant to assist with restoring the Berkeley Springs Train Station. As part of this process, Nancy developed the Bath Landmark Commission, serving as its first president.
Under Nancy's leadership and through her persistence, a volunteer team was assembled and worked through the complicated procedures for becoming a historic district. There were grant applications, surveys, a video and meetings with state officials to present the application. Nancy's efforts were successful and in 2008 the original 131 lots that were part of Bath in 1776 were nationally designated as the Bath Historic District.
Nancy did not stop. She knew that more was needed if the designation was to be useful for both preservation and tourism. She worked with a webmaster to develop bathhistoricdistrict.org, a detailed website including all relevant ordinances, maps, a list of properties, photos and historic tax credit information. She won a grant from Verizon for individual historical markers. She worked with the West Virginia Department of Transportation to erect historic district signage, and with the Washington Heritage Trail National Scenic Byway for creation of an historic district interpretive sign. Nancy arranged for workshops to educate town residents in tax credits for their properties, as well as the process of placing their own individual structures on the National Register.
Nancy also implemented a succession plan. In 2009, she stepped down from town council and recruited a new group of individuals to revitalize and restructure the landmark commission, although she continues to serve on the board.
"This has always been a group effort," said Harvey about her award. "I'm pleased we got the Historic District designation, and I'm looking forward to seeing the markers on buildings this spring. It was a lot of work but worth it."
In other history-related activities, Nancy wrote and edited Glimpses of Our Heroes, more than 25 World War II stories developed through interviewing Morgan County veteran/residents as well as a historical article: "Berkeley Springs Presbyterian Church Turns 150." The veterans' book was done for the Morgan County Historic and Genealogical Society, which offers it for sale. Prior to retiring to Berkeley Springs, she researched and wrote the early history of Fort Knox, Kentucky. Information she developed was used on interpretive signs throughout the post.
Harvey has her masters degree from West Virginia University. She is a retired educator with three children. Her 1884 brick home on Wilkes Street, where she lives with her husband Richard, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Emmy Carrizales earned a spot in next week's state championships in Eugene by winning the boys high jump title at the Cowapa League district meet.
Now for the really impressive part: For most of the season, high jump wasn't even one of his top events.
"He longs and triples for us and he even ran the 1,500 for the first half of the season," Banks coach Rob Frank said. "He high jumps some, but he wasn't working too much on that.
"In practice Wednesday I said, 'Let's just work on the high jump a little bit before the district meet,' so he gets out there and he makes 5-6. So, we put it up at 5-8, and he makes that. So, we put it up at 5-10, and he makes that.
"At that point I said, 'Ohhhh man!' "
Carrizales recorded a 5-8 in Yamhill, and that was enough for the victory. He and teammate Keenan Marston were the only competitors to top 5-6.
Now that Carrizales is actually focusing on the event, Frank can only imagine how high the sophomore might climb.
"He went from jumping 5-feet to 5-8 in about a week and a half," Frank said. "I think he can go 6-feet. He's got great springs."

Uruguay beat Emirates 2-1
Uruguay is seen as possible medal contender in London Olympics 2012.
Manchester: Substitute Nicolas Lodeiro scored in the second half to give Uruguay a 2-1 victory over the United Arab Emirates Thursday in an Olympic qualifying match.
Playing in front of a near capacity Old Trafford Stadium, the Emirates took the lead on the 23rd minute and looked the better side for much of the first half. But with four minutes to go before the break, Uruguay's Gaston Ramirez curled the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net from a free kick after Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was brought down.
Lodeiro came on for the second half and fired in from 55 minutes from close range following a fluid Uruguayan move down the left flank. Uruguay is seen as possible medal contender in this year's games. It placed fourth in the 2010 World Cup and won the Copa America title in Argentina in 2011.

text: My daughter is 5 months old and I am considering starting her on solids, but will probably wait until she is at least 6 months old (any thoughts about that?). I'm just wondering how much and how often do you feed your baby solid foods? I realize that the majority of her calories should come from breastmilk but I'm just trying to figure it out before I start this new phase with her! Do you breastfeed your baby first and then offer the solid foods? I'll probably start with rice cereal and then after a week or two offer her a veggie and go from there (just to make sure there are no allergies).

Double delight as Nyman lifts Lions
South Midlands League Division One
London Lions 3 Cranfield United 2
Two goals from Dean Nyman plus one from Matt Stock helped the Lions win a five-goal thriller against Cranfield United at Broxbourne Borough FC.
The score line suggests the game was much closer but in truth had Lions been more clinical in front of goal, they would have been out of sight by half-time.
A delighted Lions manager Tony Gold said: "It is a welcome pleasure to finally watch us play the football I know we are capable of playing. The committed lads who have been here since the season started and who have had to deal with a real rough couple of months are finally reaping the rewards of their hard work and loyalty.
"Cranfield have been flying since the season started and the table never lies so I am thrilled with the performance and the result from each and every Lions player today."

95W, 2.7GHz or 3.2GHz with Turbo
AMD is not over with the introduction of six core CPUs. Its top 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T will remain the fastest, at least until end of Q1 2011, but there will be a few new cores to launch.
Duo to some optimisations Phenom II X6 1045T will be possible with 95W and this CPU naturally comes on top of Phenom II X6 1035T clocked at 2.6GHz.
AMD's six-core Thuban processors will soon go head on against Intel's Core i7s, if prices leaked by Bahrain-based online retailer Advanti are accurate. The folks at AlienBabelTech have encountered a posting on the e-tailer's Facebook page, and the contents don't leave much to the imagination:
We just received the official prices from AMD:
Phenom II X6 Six Core
1090T Black Edition: 125(W), AM3 Socket, 9MB Cache, 3.2 GHz Freq @ 295 USD
1055T: 125(W), AM3 Socket, 9MB Cache, 2.8 GHz Freq @ 199 USD

Teaching Tradition
Meditation Groups
Biographical Sketch of Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett
Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett was born in St. Leonard's-on-Sea, near Hastings, England on January 1, 1924. Baptized Peggy Teresa Nancy in the Church of England, she was the last child and only girl of a deeply unhappy marriage.
Her first encounters with Buddhism came from a copy of The Light of Asia in her father's library and a statue of the Buddha, relic of the Empire, that for some unknown reason sat on a mantelpiece in the assembly hall of her first school. This statue gave her solace in the midst of the sorrows of home and school. Even earlier as a very small girl, on seeing a person in monastic robes in the street, she told her mother that this was what she wanted to be when she grew up.
In 1939 came World War II and the death of her father, in December of that year, after a long illness. Although evacuated to a safer part of England, she did not escape the trauma of war: her home town was heavily bombed; stray bombs fell near her even after evacuation; Peggy's best friend was drowned, caught in the barbed wire that had been strung for defense along the coast, and the girl's father died trying to save her. The sound of the bombs and the sight of the red night sky—London aflame—stayed with Peggy Kennett all her life and were the impetus to her spiritual search: why did people do this to one another?
These years also saw the beginnings of her professional career as a musician and her first encounters with Gregorian plain chant. This became a life-long interest and was put to excellent use in later years in the liturgyused by the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, which she founded. During this time she also strengthened her connections with Buddhism. She received an education in the basic teachings of the Theravada tradition, eventually taking the Refuges and the Precepts from the Venerable Dr. Saddhatissa, a leading monk and scholar of that tradition, who taught for many years in London, and earning a diploma in Buddhist doctrine from the Young Men's Association of Sri Lanka.
In the years following the war, Peggy Kennett worked as a church organist wherever she could find employment. She also joined the Women's Royal Naval Reserve and worked for the Conservative Party as a youth representative. In 1954 she became a member of the London Buddhist Society, eventually becoming one of their lecturers and, in 1958, a member of the governing Council.
There being no money forthcoming from her family for higher education, she put herself through university. She first studied at Trinity College of Music, London, where she was awarded a fellowship, and then went on to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Music from Durham University, specializing in organ and composition.
During her time at the London Buddhist Society, Peggy met and studied with the many Buddhist teachers who visited there, including D.T. Suzuki. In 1960 one of the Chief Abbots of the Soto Zen tradition of Japan, the Very Rev. Keido Chisan Koho Zenji, visited London. He was on a tour of Western countries to investigate the possibilities of spreading the Dharma and to look for suitable Westerners to train as his disciples. He met Peggy Kennett, as she helped organize his visit, and invited her to come to Japan to be his disciple. She said, "Yes!" and began to make preparations. She worked at various jobs teaching music at several schools to raise the money, but in the end had to borrow the last few pounds from a friend to afford the boat ticket.
Around this time, the Buddhist community in Malaysia, led by the Ven. Seck Kim Seng, had finally succeeded in obtaining authorization from the government for the first public celebration of the Buddha's Birth. In commemoration of this, the American monk Ven. Sumangalo wrote the words to the anthem Welcome Joyous Wesak Day, and an international contest was held to find a composer to set it to music. The contest was won by Peggy Kennett, and the Malaysian Buddhist community asked her to stop in their country on her way to Japan to receive the award and to give public lectures on the Dharma.
So, in the fall of 1961, she boarded a ship for Malaysia by way of the Suez Canal, and arriving in Malaysia, discovered that, due to misunderstandings, preparations had been made for her ordination as a monk there. Because there was intense, sometimes hostile coverage of her situation by the non-Buddhist press, she agreed to be ordained in Malaysia rather than in Japan as she had planned, and asked the Venerable Seck Kim Seng to be her ordination master. This was because she thought that a refusal to be ordained in Malaysia might be used by the press to bring Buddhism into disrepute. On January 21, 1962, she was given Shramanera ordination into the Chinese Buddhist Sangha and was given the name Sumitra (True Friend). At her request, she also received the Bodhisattva Precepts from Venerable Seck Sian Toh, assisted by others masters who were allowed out of China specifically for the ceremony. After several months in Malaysia studying with her ordination master, she went to on Japan.
In April, 1962, she was received by Koho Zenji as his personal disciple, and her ordination name was translated into Japanese as Jiyu—Compassionate Friend—and at this time she also received the religious "family name" of Houn—Dharma Cloud—the family name that her disciples have also been given.
There was considerable controversy in Sojiji, which was Koho Zenji's monastery, and one of the two great training monasteries of the Soto sect, over his plan to train a foreign female disciple in what was normally a temple only for Japanese male monks. She asked him a number of times if she could go to one of the female monasteries, but he refused, knowing that unless she trained at Sojiji and did everything as the men did, it could be said in the future that things had been made easy for her.
Finally, the way was cleared for her to formally enter Sojiji as a novice monk. Shortly after her entrance, the senior disciplinarian confronted her, asking: what did she want? Many foreigners came to Japan seeking various things—did she want to study calligraphy, flower arrangement or perhaps tea ceremony? Rev. Jiyu looked him straight in the eye and said, "I want the perfection of Zen." "So be it!" he replied, and from then on they understood each other. While he and those like him treated her with fairness and respect, some others did not, and she often had to face discrimination for being both a foreigner and a woman. She took it in stride as a test of her sincerity, and her training soon bore fruit: after less than six months in the temple, she experienced a first kensho, an awakening to a deeper understanding. This event confirmed Koho Zenji's confidence in her and, in May of 1963, he gave the Dharma Transmission and in later years certified her as a Dharma Heir and holder of his branch of the Soto Zen lineage from Shakyamuni Buddha through Masters Bodhidharma, Hui Neng, Tendo Nyojo, Dogen, Keizan and Manzan.
Thereafter, at Koho Zenji's wish, Rev. Jiyu began to teach the many Westerners who came to Sojiji by serving as the Foreign Guest Master, ordaining Western monks and eventually having her own small temple known as Unpukuji, in Mie Prefecture. She promised her master that, no matter what, she would care for and protect his foreign disciples. Meanwhile, in the fall of 1965, in order to silence questions over the fitness of "this foreign woman" to inherit the Dharma, Koho Zenji sent Rev. Jiyu to the highly respected Soto Zen master Sawaki Kodo Roshi, who confirmed her understanding.
After Koho Zenji's death in 1967, and as a result of her promise to him, Rev. Master Jiyu left Japan with two disciples to accept invitations to visit the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. She arrived in San Francisco in November, 1969, and although she made visits to England and Canada, she decided to settle in the U.S.
The next six years were spent simply doing her own training and trying to be of use to whoever came to her. Out of this emerged Shasta Abbey in Mt. Shasta, California (where she lived the last 26 years of her life), and Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey in Northumberland, England. Eventually, the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, the umbrella organization which includes the two monasteries, several smaller branch temples, and meditation groups in Europe and America came into being. Many students came to her and stayed with her until her death; many also left—some perhaps because they did not understand what she was doing, and others perhaps because they did.
In 1976, worn out, ill and having been told by her doctor that she was near death, Rev. Master Jiyu went into retreat and experienced another kensho, this time a massive spiritual opening accompanied by visions and recollections of past lives. Having been prepared for this by the teachings she had received in Malaysia and Japan, she knew what was taking place—but many of the people around her did not.
Her health recovered somewhat and she continued on, deepening her faith and practice in the basic tenets of Soto Zen and entering the most productive years of her religious life. By 1990 her health began to decline sharply; diabetes, which had been diagnosed soon after her arrival in America, took an increasing toll on her body through the early 90's, eventually leaving her paralyzed from the waist down and nearly blind. She was unable to teach publicly, but nevertheless continued to work with her more senior disciples, providing a remarkable example of equanimity and all-acceptance in the face of ever-increasing disability. On November 6, 1996, Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett died quickly and peacefully in her house at Shasta Abbey. As she had wanted, it was as if she had stepped out through a door: not an ending, nor even a beginning—just a going on, going on, going on beyond.
