Only Love Can Break Your Heart
11/16/2016 11:42:00 AMHere's something seen every night in millions of homes: Mom reading a bedtime story to her baby.
A mother reads to her daughter |
But it's not your normal bedtime story. This one's a heartbreaker.
That's my daughter reading to her daughter (my granddaughter) Rosie in the hospital. In mid-September 2016, Rosie suffered devastating ischemic brain damage in a car accident. Traffic slowed on the highway. Our son-in-law, who was driving, was able to stop their car with plenty of space between their car and the one ahead of them. But the car behind theirs failed to see the brake lights and plowed into them at full speed — probably close to 70mph.
Airbags and shoulder harnesses saved the lives of our son-in-law and our daughter. Our son-in-law suffered a serious concussion and couldn't work for two weeks but two months later he's doing pretty well. Rosie's car seat held her tight and no doubt that saved her life, too. But inside her skull, Rosie's eight-week old brain was thrown back, then slammed forward and probably bounced back once again, in what's known as a coup-contrecoup injury. Imagine what would happen if you put a goldfish and some water in a mayonnaise jar, then shook the hell out of it: you wouldn't have to damage the jar to kill the goldfish. It's possible other factors contributed to the severity of the injury; we still don't fully understand the mechanism of injury. But the bottom line is dire. Rosie was supposed to start daycare the week after the accident. Now, not only will she not be starting daycare, she's unlikely ever to start school.
There's a lot of pain in the world, so much that, to preserve our sanity, we must respond to most of it intellectually rather than emotionally. At first, it seemed to me that Rosie's injury must be practically unique; but, through Children's Hospital in Dallas and Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth, we have found neurologists and neurosurgeons who have seen a lot of patients with similar injuries. That's lucky for Rosie — it's good to have very experienced doctors. But it's sad to become aware how many other young patients have their lives altered by traumatic accidents. I try to pray for all of them. But because I love her, it's Rosie's case that breaks my heart.
Please drive carefully, for your own sake, for the sake of your passengers, and for the sake of everybody else that you share the roads with. Just one or two seconds of inattention are enough to take a life or to harm a life in a way that can not be repaired.
Rosie smiling in my wife's arms, the day before the accident. |

WESTMINSTER -- Firefighters from Westminster and Pepperell and a local veterinarian worked for several hours Tuesday to rescue a horse who slipped on ice after escaping his barn.
"When it escaped out of its barn it went on its normal path, and because of all the rain we've gotten, it's extremely icy," Westminster Fire Chief Kevin Nivala at the scene off Overlook Road.
The Police Department received a call at about 12:30 p.m. about a lost horse, Nivala said.
After searching for the animal, the police officer on duty, Officer Jeff Shampine, found Charlie, a 26-year-old horse, about a half-mile into woods, on a trail it often walks down.
Sentinel and Enterprise staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
While the officer was attempting to walk Charlie back, the horse slipped on a sheet of ice, Nivala said.
When rescuers arrived on the scene Charlie was lying on his side.
Nivala said rescuers first brought sand onto the ice to "firm up the footing" for the horse, but he was extremely tired and cold.
Charlie was lying on his side from about 1 p.m. until they were able to pull him off the ice around 4 p.m., Nivala said.
"Horses can't be lying down for long periods of time, four hours is a long time," said veterinarian Paula Orcutt of Buck Hill Veterinary Service in Spencer.
Orcutt, Charlie's regular veterinarian, said he's an older horse, so he didn't have power in his hind legs to get up.
Orcutt said Charlie needed heavy machinery to stand him back up.
Unfortunately, Nivala said, Westminster didn't have the correct equipment and notified the Pepperell Fire Department.
"We brought our horse rescue sled and sling that we have, and we were able to get the horse out of the woods, and up in the field," said Pepperell Fire Chief Toby Tyler.
Tyler said the department has used the equipment three times in the last two weeks for the same reason.
Orcutt said she administered a small amount of tranquilizer to keep Charlie calm during his rescue from the ice.
Once off the ice, teams began attempting to stand Charlie up, said Orcutt, but once he saw the tractor that was going to be used, he "jumped up on his own."
"As long as he doesn't go down again, he's doing well," said Orcutt.
Nivala did not identify the owner of the horse, who was on the scene.

From De Laudibus Legum Angliae by Sir John Fortescue (c.1394-c.1480), ch. 18:
"It only remains to be enquired whether the Statute Law of England be good or not. And, as to that, it does not flow solely from the mere will of one man, as the laws do in those countries, which are governed in a despotic manner; where sometimes the nature of the Constitution so much regards the single convenience of the Legislator, whereby there accrues a great disadvantage and disparagement to the subject. Sometimes also, through the inadvertency of the Prince, his inactivity and love of ease, such laws are unadvisedly made as may better deserve to be called corruptions, than laws. But, the Statutes of England are produced in quite another manner: Not enacted by the sole will of the Prince, but, with the concurrent consent of the whole kingdom, by their Representatives in Parliament. So that it is morally impossible but that they are and must be calculated for the good of the people: and they must needs be full of wisdom and prudence, since they are the result, not of one man's wisdom only, or an hundred, but such an assembly as the Roman Senate was of old, more than three hundred select persons; as those who are conversant in the forms and method of summoning them to Parliament, can more distinctly inform you. And, if any bills passed into a law, enacted with so much solemnity and foresight, should happen not to answer the intention of the legislators: they can immediately be amended and repealed, in the whole, or in part, that is, with the same consent and in the same manner as they were at first enacted into a law."

Ticket #9816 (closed defect: invalid)
Emacs sees both Command and Option as the Super key -> not a VirtualBox bug
Reported by: | jayfinger | Owned by: | |
Priority: | major | Component: | other |
Version: | VirtualBox 4.1.4 | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Guest type: | Linux | |
Host type: | Mac OS X |
Problem: emacs running on the guest sees both the Command Key and the Option Key as "super" key.
Typing (in emacs) C-h c Command-A shows "s-a", typing C-h c Option-A shows "s-a".
It's darned near impossible to use emacs without an Alt/Meta key, hence I am setting the severity to "major"
Emacs is the only app with this problem: other apps have no problem differentiating Command and Option.
My setup:
VirtualBox 4.1.4. Host is MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (Software Update reports no updates available). Guest OS: CentOS 6, Ubuntu 11.04 (both have same problem)
Note: if I copy the VM to a WIndows machine and start it under Windows VirtualBox 4.1.4 then emacs works fine. So this seems like a Mac-specific problem.
Change History
comment:1 Changed 5 years ago by jayfinger
Close this bug report. It's not a virtualbox issue. I would close it myself, but I don't appear to be able to.
I finally traced this down to being a gnome problem. I had set up on the mac so that gnome should swap the alt/win keys. That's wonky. Doing it with xmodmap makes it work fine.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Two fine graphic novels, brought together in one. In the first volume, subtitled 'The Story of a Childhood' Marjane Satrapi tells, in stark black and white drawings of growing up in a privileged family during and after the 1979 revolution in Iran and the subsequent war with Iraq. A difficult and precocious child, Marjane inevitably clashes with the oppressive theocratic state, and, for her safety is sent to overseas by her parents. The second volume, 'The Story of a Return' picks up Marjane Satrapi's story with an account of her difficulties as a foriegner in an alien land, leading to her return to Iran, where despite education and marriage, she cannot find her place. Insight into a world and a mindset I have never encountered, many heavy philosophical and psychological themes are touched on in a light manner: a case study rather than a lecture. This is the second graphic memoir I've read. I found the story interesting, and it has helped me understand better the cultural situation in Iran, but it doesn't help me understand the benefits of the genre over just straight-up memoir without the "graphic" part. I'm just not clear on what the artwork adds. There are a few places where there seem to be missing details and/or the storytelling just doesn't seem solid, and the artwork doesn't make up for those shortcomings. So far my favorite thing about graphic memoirs is that I can read them faster than text-only books, which makes them a satisfying choice for read-a-thon reading. This is a great graphic novel. I truly loved reading it and was very very moved by the story. There is so much emotion and growth, I think I will need to reread this book again in a few years as I grow older. So interesting to read a perspective like this. Actually, some of the changes under the new regime in Iran reminded me of parts of Maria Augusta Trapp's story about the Austria she and her family eventually escaped from. Even with its sprinkles of humor, Persepolis is not at all a light memoir of mild themes, but I'll admit that this particular style of delivery helped me to keep turning the pages. no reviews | add a review

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375714839, Paperback)Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed memoir-in-comic-strips.Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up. Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom--Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:21:52 -0400) Collects a two-part graphic memoir, in which the great-granddaughter of Iran's last emperor and the daughter of ardent Marxists describes growing up in Tehran, a country plagued by political upheaval and vast contradictions between public and private life.… (more) |

Ezreal was born with the gift of magic flowing through his veins. Ezreal, however, was also born with a much stronger sense of wanderlust. Put into school to become a skilled techmaturgist, Ezreal quickly became bored with magical studies. By the time the boy genius was eight years old, he had fully mapped out the underground tunnels of Piltover. The quality of his work was so great that the government of Piltover purchased his maps and salaried his services as Piltover's Grandmaster Explorer. This sealed the deal on Ezreal's path in life - he would eschew the arcane arts in favor of archaeology. Since then, countless of Ezreal's adventures have been written about as romanticized stories.
One of Ezreal's latest adventures, however, has brought him face-to-face with his other legacy - his latent magical power. While exploring the pyramids of Shurima Desert, Ezreal uncovered an amulet of incredible power. Aside from the sheer size of the amulet (it was made for a being easily twice Ezreal's size), it allows the wielder to control and shape magical energy - provided a source of magic is in the vicinity. This allowed Ezreal to tap into his natural talent for magic without having to put any serious effort into it - a big win for the Prodigal Explorer. The drawback is that for some unknown reason, the amulet is attuned with summoning magic. Without warning, Ezreal may find himself acting as a champion for, as he puts it, a summoner hell-bent on resolving some irrelevant world-shattering League conflict. Still, Ezreal feels being summoned into a Field of Justice on occasion is a small price to pay.
'There's little time to study musty tomes when you're busy crawling around where the musty tomes originally came from.' Such is Ezreal's credo.
Rising Spell Force | Hitting a target with any of Ezreal's abilities increases his own attack speed by 10%. this effect lasts for 5 seconds and stacks up to 5 times. |
- Use Arcane Shift to help line up your other skill shots.
- You can play Ezreal either as a Attack Damage carry or Ability Power carry depending on how you build him.
- You can line up Trueshot Barrage to hit multiple minion waves or even Monsters.

Minecraft Sales Top 1 Million on PlayStation 3 - News
by William D'Angelo, posted on 27 January 2014 / 9,206 ViewsMojang's success story continues as the PlayStation 3 release of its hit title Minecraft has sold more than one million units on the platform.
"Minecraft on PS3 recently sold over 1 million copies (that has to be some kind of record on PSN, no?)," said Mojang's Daniel Kaplan. "It is crazy considering the game was released just before Christmas last year. We are super grateful for the support and we are very thankful for your dedication."
The PlayStation 3 version of Minecraft was released on December 17 in North America and December 18 in Europe. It is currently available on the PlayStation Store for $19.99, £12.99 and €18.99.

Maori Language Day – Sept 14th
Māori Language Day – September 14
Māori Language Day marks the date in 1972 when a petition calling for courses in Māori language and culture to be offered in New Zealand schools was presented at Parliament. That petition was an important step in the eventual foundation of the Māori Language Commission and to the recognition of Māori as an official language of New Zealand. The day grew to a week in 1975 with the inception of Māori Language Week. Later, celebrations of that week were moved from September to July in order to fit in better with the school year.
Māori Language Day has become an opportunity for people to encourage others to use reo Māori and to promote it. The Māori Language Week Awards which are held annually on this day, celebrate and encourage all those who get out there and give reo Māori a go.
The media, businesses, government and community organisations, schools and libraries are able to enter the awards by showing how they supported reo Māori during Māori Language Week.

Daffodil Day Community Breakfast 2012
The Student Council of Northland College is proud to be organising and hosting its fifth annual Daffodil Day Community Breakfast at the College Restaurant, "The Hubb", on Friday morning (6am to 9am) 31st August, 2012 with all proceeds going to the Northland Cancer Society.
On offer is both a Continental and a fully cooked Breakfast at $15.00 a head, (or $5.00 for Primary School students and a Gold Coin donation for Pre-schoolers).
The Business Community both Local and Regional have traditionally generously supplied all food and non-food products necessary in making the Breakfast both filing and delicious. Last year over 30 organisations donated and over 180 breakfasts were sold, raising around $2800.00 for the Northland Cancer Society. Individuals donated their time and expertise and made it possible for all of us to have a wonderful time.
The Student Council warmly welcomes one and all to this scrumptious Breakfast and is certain that everyone will enjoy the meal, the convivial atmosphere (yes, even at 6am), the music and entertainment and the knowledge that they have contributed to raising funds for this worthy cause.

Chapter One
November 8, 2000
Dear Franklin,
I'm unsure why one trifling incident this afternoon has moved me to write to you. But since we've been separated, I may most miss coming home to deliver the narrative curiosities of my day, the way a cat might lay mice at your feet: the small, humble offerings that couples proffer after foraging in separate backyards. Were you still installed in my kitchen, slathering crunchy peanut butter on Branola though it was almost time for dinner, I'd no sooner have put down the bags, one leaking a clear viscous drool, than this little story would come tumbling out, even before I chided that we're having pasta tonight so would you please not eat that whole sandwich.
In the early days, of course, my tales were exotic imports, from Lisbon,
from Katmandu. But no one wants to hear stories from abroad, really, and I could detect from your telltale politeness that you privately preferred anecdotal trinkets from closer to home: an eccentric encounter with a toll collector on the George Washington Bridge, say. Marvels from the mundane helped to ratify your view that all my foreign travel was a kind of cheating. My souvenirs -- a packet of slightly stale Belgian waffles, the British expression for "piffle" (codswallop!) -- were artificially imbued with magic by mere
dint of distance. Like those baubles the Japanese exchange -- in a box in a bag, in a box in a bag -- the sheen on my offerings from far afield was all packaging. What a more considerable achievement, to root around in the untransubstantiated rubbish of plain old New York state and scrounge a moment of piquancy from a trip to the Nyack Grand Union.
Which is just where my story takes place. I seem finally to be learning
what you were always trying to teach me, that my own country is as exotic and even as perilous as Algeria. I was in the dairy aisle and didn't need much; I wouldn't. I never eat pasta these days, without you to dispatch most of the bowl. I do miss your gusto.
It's still difficult for me to venture into public. You would think, in a
country that so famously has "no sense of history," as Europeans claim,
that I might cash in on America's famous amnesia. No such luck. No one in this "community" shows any signs of forgetting, after a year and eight months -- to the day. So I have to steel myself when provisions run low. Oh, for the clerks at the 7-Eleven on Hopewell Street my novelty has worn off, and I can pick up a quart of milk without glares. But our regular Grand Union remains a gauntlet.
I always feel furtive there. To compensate, I force my back straight, my
shoulders square. I see now what they mean by "holding your head high," and I am sometimes surprised by how much interior transformation a ramrod posture can afford. When I stand physically proud, I feel a small measure less mortified.
Debating medium eggs or large, I glanced toward the yogurts. A few
feet away, a fellow shopper's frazzled black hair went white at the roots for a good inch, while its curl held only at the ends: an old permanent grown out. Her lavender top and matching skirt may have once been stylish, but now the blouse bound under the arms and the peplum served to emphasize heavy hips. The outfit needed pressing, and the padded shoulders bore the faint stripe of fading from a wire hanger. Something from the nether regions of the closet, I concluded, what you reach for when everything else is filthy or on the floor. As the woman's head tilted toward the processed cheese, I caught the crease of a double chin.
Don't try to guess; you'd never recognize her from that portrait. She
was once so neurotically svelte, sharply cornered, and glossy as if commercially gift wrapped. Though it may be more romantic to picture the bereaved as gaunt, I imagine you can grieve as efficiently with chocolates as with tap water. Besides, there are women who keep themselves sleek and smartly turned out less to please a spouse than to keep up with a daughter, and, thanks to us, she lacks that incentive these days.
