Grief and Loss
We generally think of grief as a reaction to a death. But there is another grief that comes from loss while someone is still living. This grief is often seen when caring for someone with a chronic illness. Chronic illness, and particularly any illness that impairs a person's cognitive ability, causes caregivers and loved ones to experience grief and loss right now. In this fact sheet, we will discuss the grief related to death and dying, and grief associated with chronic illness. It is natural to grieve the death of a loved one before, during and after the actual time of their passing. The process of accepting the unacceptable is what grieving is all about.
Chronic Illness and Loss
Over time, with most chronic illnesses, there are changes in a person's abilities. Whether it is someone living with Parkinson's Disease who can no longer button a shirt, or someone coping with Diabetes who has to follow a special diet, or someone with Alzheimer's Disease who can't remember who you are, caregivers have to adjust to the needs of the care receiver. Caregivers may experience many kinds of losses: loss of independence, loss of control, loss of the future as it had been imagined; loss of financial security, of the relationship as it once was, loss of freedom, sleep, and family harmony; loss of someone to share chores and other tasks with, or simply the loss of someone to talk things over with. Persons with chronic illnesses also have to adjust to many of the same losses, but also—loss of dignity, mobility, a carefully planned future or retirement, a loss of roles that were played, or the loss of a sense of worth (all depending on what disability is associated with the illness).
It is easy to ignore these losses and just keep doing the things that need to be done. However, these losses lead to grief, and grief can lead to sadness, depression, anger, guilt, sleeplessness and other physical and emotional problems. It is important to identify our losses, identify our feelings, and let ourselves grieve the changes that have happened in our lives. When we can do this, our feelings will less often erupt as angry outbursts weighed down by guilt, or creep over us as depression and hopelessness; they instead can more easily be expressed as a shared loss of something treasured—which family and friends close to the situation can likely empathize with, leading to deeper communication and stronger relationships with those going through the loss with you.
Writing in a journal can help you to name and express your feelings about these losses. You can combine it with a gratitude journal—things that you are thankful for. Prayer, meditation, relaxation exercises, attending a support group (or simply talking with a friend or counselor), or creating a ritual can help you to let go of the intensity of the feelings so that you can grieve but also heal.
Ambiguous Loss
Ambiguous loss is what we experience when someone is still "there" but also not "there." This is mainly experienced when someone has a cognitive impairment from dementia, a traumatic brain injury or a stroke. We also experience ambiguous loss when someone with dementia has "moments of lucidity," when he/she is clear and makes sense for a short period of time. It is hard not to think that if they can do this every once in awhile, they ought to be able to do it all of the time. When they return to their confused state, we often experience anger, frustration and disappointment—renewed grief. [See the FCA Fact Sheet, Caregiving and Ambiguous Loss, for more information on this topic.]
Anticipatory Grief
When caring for someone over time, we may start to grieve that person long before they die, we grieve the loss of the person's "former self." Experiencing loss on a daily basis, as well as anticipating the loss at the end of life, knowing what is coming, can be just as painful as the loss associated with a death. Caregivers may experience guilt or shame for "wishing it were over" or thinking of their loved one as already "gone" (particularly when someone has a cognitive impairment). It is important to recognize these feelings as normal. Ultimately, anticipatory grief is a way of allowing us to prepare emotionally for the inevitable. Preparing for the death of a loved one can allow family members to contemplate and clear unresolved issues, make end of life plans for funeral and burial, and experience their pain in stages. Sometimes, when someone has grieved a death over a long period, there is less grief when the person dies; sometimes there is more pain when a person dies.
Grief at Death
Grief is a natural emotion, a universal experience that makes us human. Because it is intense and uncomfortable to feel, we often try to find ways to avoid experiencing the immensity of the emotion—through distraction and busyness. We grieve because we are deprived of a loved one; the sense of loss is profound, the change in roles is confounding, and we may become uncertain of our identity. Often caregivers are in the situation of having to make changes in their circumstances—where to live, financial concerns, relationships—along with fear of not knowing what lies ahead.
Grief lasts a long time. Recent research has shown that intense grieving lasts from three months to a year and many people continue experiencing profound grief for two years or more. Our society expects us to be "doing fine" in about two weeks. It is common to think there is something wrong with us if our grief "lasts too long." The grieving process depends on our belief system, religion, life experiences and the type of loss suffered. Many faiths have rituals for recognizing grief and loss during at least the first year after a death. We also expect other family members to show their grief in the same way we do, even when we can say that everyone grieves differently. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; grief is an individual process. Many people find solace in sharing their grief with family and friends; others find solace by attending grief support groups offered in every community through their local hospice (even if you did not have hospice services). If you are feeling overwhelmed and concerned about your own grief process over time, seek professional help.
When someone dies suddenly, our first response is often denial, then shock, confusion and pain. Fatal heart attacks and strokes, car accidents, suicide can leave family members perplexed and searching for answers. In these cases, family members may be left with unresolved issues, such as guilt, anger, and feelings of emptiness. Sometimes we have to learn to forgive ourselves and our loved one who died. It can take longer to heal from this loss and it is important to give yourself time to grieve before pushing yourself to "move on." Getting support from family, clergy, friends, and grief groups can help.
Symptoms of Grief
Grief affects our whole being—physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. Each of us will have different symptoms. If you have had a previous loss, you may experience grief this time in a similar or different way, depending on the situation, your relationship with the deceased, and other significant emotional factors in your life at the time. Culture, religion and social norms influence what we are comfortable showing to others and even what we are comfortable admitting to ourselves.
- Crying
- Sighing
- Low energy/exhaustion/weakness/fatigue
- Headaches
- Stomach aches, loss of appetite
- Eating too much, particularly comfort foods
- Sleep disturbance—too much or too little, disturbed dreams
- Feelings of heaviness, aches, pains
- Being super busy, pushing yourself to do too much
- Reckless, self destructive activities such as drinking too much
- Feeling alone
- Wanting to isolate yourself from socializing, finding it hard to pretend to feel ok, being pushed to be social by others
- Feeling detached from others
- Angry that others' lives are going on as usual and yours isn't
- Not wanting to be alone, feeling needy and clingy
- Sadness, crying spells
- Anger/frustration/rage
- Confusion/overwhelmed
- Guilt
- Worry/anxiety/panic
- Yearning
- Edginess/irritability
- Memory problems, feeling distracted, pre-occupied
- Depression
- Euphoria
- Passive resignation
- Fluctuating emotions
- Sense of lack of control
- Others might see you as "unreasonable" or "overreacting"
- Questioning your faith/meaning of life/suffering
- Questioning reason for the death/disease
- Anger at God
- Coming closer to faith/God for solace
Stages of Grief
There is no road map for dealing with grief. There are stages that most people go through, but they are not a linear progression from stage 1 to stage 2, etc. We "visit" these stages at different times during the grieving process, depending on what is happening in our lives, for instance, special occasions, like anniversaries and birthdays. And we might go back to a stage years later, such as loneliness and isolation or depression. Although Elizabeth Kubler Ross defined the five stages below, many clinicians think there are more or different stages.
- Trouble accepting the fact of death, diagnosis or new reality, numbness
- Inability to do usual activities
- Anger at yourself, others, professionals (particularly doctors), God, life
- Feeling helpless and powerless, abandoned
- Making "deals" with God or friends hoping to change the situation
- Thinking about "what could have been" or "should have done differently"
- Feeling overwhelmed with loss and change, sadness, regret, fear, anxiety
- Lonely, isolated, self-pity, empty, lost,
- Adjusting to the new reality, starting to move on
- Sense of hope, healing and integration
Helping Those Who are Grieving
- We often feel uncomfortable when approaching someone we know who is grieving. It is hard to know what to say or do. Here are some tips:
- Be available. Offer support in an unobtrusive but persistent manner.
- Listen without giving advice.
- Do not offer stories of your own experiences with grief. This can have the effect of dismissing the grieving person's pain.
- Allow the grieving person to use expressions of anger or bitterness, including such expressions against God. This may be normal behavior in an attempt to find meaning in what has happened.
- Realize that no one can replace or undo the loss. To heal, the individual must endure the grief process. Allow him/her to feel the pain.
- Be patient, kind and understanding without being patronizing. Don't claim to "know" what the other person is feeling.
- Don't force the individual to share feelings if he/she doesn't want to.
- Physical and emotional touch can bring great comfort to the bereaved. Don't hesitate to share a hug or handclasp when appropriate.
- Be there later, when friends and family have all gone back to their routines.
- Remember holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries which have important meaning for the bereaved. Offer support during this time.
- Don't be afraid of reminding the person of the loss; he/she is already thinking about it. Share stories and memories of the deceased.
- Send cards, flowers, deliver a meal, offer to do chores, donate to a cause that is important to the person who died or who is grieving.
Taking Care of YOU
Taking care of yourself in difficult times is hard. Trusting your own process will help you to do what you need to do in order to best take care of yourself. Acknowledging your feelings—good and bad—will help you to cope better with whatever is happening. Read, journal, get support, cocoon, or whatever is nurturing for you.

Download There is no "silver bullet" in the cloud. No single product or packaged bundle can deliver all the virtualization you need to make the cloud real or all the control you need to make it effective. Heterogeneous, evolving and typically complex, the cloud requires a measured approach to its implementation and an integrated approach to its many components. A technology such as the hypervisor that creates compute virtualization is, in fact, only one of a cloud?s many building blocks. When designing a cloud, organizations should consider the needs of the applications and workloads beyond compute virtualization such as networking and storage - and then evaluate the integration and control requirements across cloud and non-cloud business services.

New Breed Paintball (west milford) review
Posted 30 March 2009 - 02:10 PM
While I was there I played on Junkyard, D-Day, Castle, Log Jam, Junkyard vs Castle, and at the end of the day they took everyone playing and we did a 50 vs 50 in 4 acres of woods. All the fields were a lot of fun. The only field I preferred not to play multiple times was Castle. Only because it seemed like who ever was in the castle seemed to lose every time. It's just too easy for the attacking team to get in close and then its all but over. D-Day was by far my favorite, 2/3 of the team attack up the hill while 1/3 get 3 bunkers. As a defender we lost but we're able to knock out a good portion of the attackers. Making it fun for everyone.
The refs did a good job of trying to keep friends together while at the same time keeping the skill level on the teams even. There were times when one team was blown out over another but never repeatedly. I would especially like to mention the ref Leo. He did an excellent job of keeping the games safe. And he seemed to be everywhere at once making sure no one cheated and no one shot players who were already knocked out. He even once put himself in the line of fire to keep an already knocked out player from being shot again. I wish all their refs were like that.
Also, I would like to note that I played more paintball in the 6 hours I was there then I ever did at any other field. Last time I went to skirmish we played only 6 games the whole day. The refs kept us waiting 20 minutes between rounds. At New Breed they would just match any walk on wanting to play and then give a call to anyone getting paint or air that they could join. You could literally play constantly until you run out of paint or air. I easily played a dozen games or more. Even as I write this I'm so sore I can barely walk from playing so much.
My only complaints are first the front office seemed a bit disorganized when we got there. They apparently do $10 off a case if you start before 10am but some people got the discount and some didn't. Also, my friends that used CO2 said to get fills it was really slow.
All in all I would rate them an 7 out of 10. But with a few adjustments this could easily be the best place in North Jersey.
Posted 30 March 2009 - 02:14 PM
Posted 30 March 2009 - 05:40 PM
Is this in northeast New Jersey or northwest?
I guess its technically North East. But here is a map This is just a google map link
I put a bunch of pictures on up the New Breed Website as well as two videos of the fields.

Do they have a website? If so if you can link it that would be great. Also what are the prices like?
Edited by PbGoods, 02 May 2009 - 09:18 PM.
Posted 08 May 2009 - 12:24 AM
Now for prices it is bring your own paint and all day air and entry is like 30-35 forgot.. (think i would know i got there evry weekend practically) also if u need to buy paint if you get there before 10am they take off 10 dollers no matter the grade.. The staff is awesome and it is The Black Hawks home field.. The owner of the place is named Sky so if you have any questions hit him up
Posted 10 May 2009 - 09:51 AM
Entry +all day air = $35 (CO2 +$2)
Paint=starting at $30 for half a case, $55 for a full case (they stock field, mid, tourney grades)
Equipment Rentals =$80 (includes entry+air, marker, mask, hopper, air tank, 1000 paintballs)
EDIT: Sorry about the double post

Arsène Wenger has hailed Jack Wilshere's return - but says he "will only be great if the team is great".
The 20-year-old returned to competitive action for the first time in 17 months in Saturday's 1-0 victory over QPR, and delivered a stirring display.
But Wenger has sought to dampen sky-high expectations by insisting that the Arsenal team is about more than one player.
"Jack is a great player but he will only be great if the team is great," the manager told Arsenal Player.
"There is not one player that you want to have that complete responsibility [for the whole side].
"I believe we have an interesting team, even more so now that Jack is back. So let's express ourselves as a team and then Jack will be good."
Wilshere had only previously played with four members of the Arsenal side that beat QPR, and Wenger says it may take some time to gel completely.
"He has been out for 17 months and in the last 17 months our squad has changed a lot. Many players left," he said.
"For the first game it looked quite promising. He plays in a new midfield because the last time he played it was with Nasri, Fabregas and Song.
"Now he is in a new midfield, and it can take a little bit of time to adjust but that will come quickly."

John Harrigan: 'We've passed the low point, and spring is not far behind'
JOHN HARRiGAN | December 28. 2013 9:46PM
"Wind chill" was formerly reserved for Antarctic explorers and weather geeks. Now it has crept into common use. These days, when I see a news story about it being 40 below in Billings, Mont., I want to rush for the phone and ask, "Are they talking about the raw temperature or counting the wind?" Raw temperature, by the way, is when you dash from camp to the outhouse and come back raw, having left part of your epidermis on the seat.
And I, having just pushed another 4 or 5 inches of snow away from the furnace, heaved another few pieces of 50-year-old stored solar power into the furnace's gaping maw and crunched my way back to the barn, wish readers near and far the best for the New Year and beyond.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (May 11, 2011) – Eighth-ranked Stevens Institute of Technology advanced to the second round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship with a hard-fought 9-7 win over in-state rival Montclair State University on Wednesday night at the De Baun Athletic Complex. The Ducks will now head to Cortland, N.Y. to face the SUNY Cortland Red Dragons for a berth in the national quarterfinals. Stevens (16-2) was led by four points from senior midfielder Chris Laurita and three from junior attack Kevin Rose.
Like the teams' first meeting on March 23, the Ducks jumped on top early but that would be the only similarity as the Red Hawks (10-7) hung tough the whole way, never allowing Stevens to take more than a three-goal lead.
After Empire 8 Rookie of the Year Christian Saley put the Ducks up 1-0 1:39 into the action, junior attack Matthew Prongay (Edison, N.J.) pulled MSU even with an unassisted tally with 12:08 left in the first. Laurita answered with his first of the game with 6:17 remaining in the period, and sophomore midfielder Nicolas Philippi rang the bell with 55 seconds on the board to send the Ducks to the second with a 3-1 lead.
Montclair would outscore Stevens 2-1 in quarter number two with senior Robert Sinacola (North Caldwell, N.J.) scoring both Red Hawk goals and senior midfielder Brandon Faubert tallying Stevens' lone goal.
The Ducks would not score again for more than 14 minutes, which was enough time for the Red Hawks to tie the score. When Stevens did break its scoring drought, it was able to tally the game's next three goals to open up a 7-4 lead with 2:16 left in the third quarter. Junior Alex Hofrichter finished off a pretty look from Rose with 10:10 left in the third, and 1:45 later, Laurita found Rose. That same duo connected with 2:16 left in the period for the final score in the spurt.
Prongay was able to slow the Stevens momentum with his second with 84 seconds in the third, but Saley opened the fourth quarter scoring with an unassisted tally to push the lead back to three.
Junior Kevin Dyer (Flemington, N.J.) and Sinicola scored back-to-back goals to trim the margin to one with 11:14 on the clock but Laurita's second with 8:16 was enough and the Stevens defense did the rest.
Senior Eric Yando made 11 saves in strong effort in goal for the Ducks, while his counterpart, junior Mark Glander (Vernon, N.J.) accumulated seven saves.
The Stevens starting defensive unit of junior Matt Marks, senior Ted Pfeifer, and senior Zach McHugh were strong all night for the Ducks. McHugh had three caused turnovers and a ground ball, Marks had four caused turnovers and three ground balls, while Pfeifer had a team-high six ground balls. Junior Michael Steinhauser won 10-of-19 face-offs and had two ground balls, and senior Jacob Messimer had two caused turnovers and a ground ball.
Saley, Rose, Laurita, and Faubert all had multiple points and Phillippi added three ground balls to his one tally.
Sinicola had three goals and three assists for a game-high six points to lead the Red Hawks and Prongay had three points. Dyer had two points and senior Anthony Dzienkiewicz (Jackson, N.J.) caused five turnovers.
The Ducks ended the game with a 38-30 edge in shots and a 26-25 advantage in ground balls. Stevens won 11-of-20 face-offs.
The win is the Ducks' first in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 when they defeated Eastern Connecticut State University at the De Baun Athletic Complex on May 10. That season Stevens fell at Cortland in the second round.
Saturday's game time is slated for 6 p.m. and more information will be available Thursday on www.StevensDucks.com.

Mindfulness Meditation Overview
Mindfulness meditation is about bringing awareness to your present experience by noticing, attending to, and observing your thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgmental way. Mindfulness Meditation has ancient buddhist roots and was clinically innovated by Jon Kabat-Zinn who founded the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the late 1970's. Since then there have been countless research studies supporting the effectiveness and transformative effects of meditation. Research has shown that regular meditative practice improves:
- depression
- anxiety
- focus
- positive emotions
- blood pressure
- pain
- immune system
At Intuition Wellness Center, we believe in the healing power of being mindfully present moment-to-moment, which can be cultivated through regular mindful meditative practice. Many of our clinicians incorporate mindfulness practices into their clinical work with clients. We also host mindfulness meditation sessions for teens and adults who want to try an alternative approach to healing.

Some genealogists who have Irish ancestry will have come across Brian J. Cantwell's books entitled Memorials of the Dead which have been available on fiche for a few years now. Brian's son Ian has also published a book on the 1798 Rebellion Claimants and Surrenders. Now all publications are available on CD by Eneclann.
Ian Cantwell has also set up a free web site which contains indexes of surnames, places, and occupations. Ian tells me that the indexes are a mix of data that comes from the original typescript volumes and from his CD plus a few were compiled especially for the website, such as place names.

On March 29th, 1911, the Browning-designed, Colt-produced .45 Automatic pistol, was selected as the official sidearm of the Armed Forces of U.S.A., and named Model 1911.
That original pistol, was very similar to the pistols produced today. One easily-distinguishable external difference is the crescent-shaped cuts, behind the trigger of the contemporary pistols, which were missing from the original design and were adopted later on, and which first appeared on model M1911A1.
The Colt Model 1911 was slightly improved in early 1920's when the flat mainspring housing was replaced with an arched one a shorter hammer spur was used, a short trigger was made standard as well as a longer grip safety. The new model was named Colt M-1911 A1 Government Model.
So your right Bob but I think it's just easier to say 1911.

Dirty stores and out of stocks negatively impact the food shopping experience, according to a study by The Retail Feedback Group which showed overall satisfaction with supermarkets at a five year high.
The Retail Feedback Group surveyed 1,200 shoppers in its 2012 U.S. Supermarket Experience Study and determined that supermarkets generate high rates of satisfaction with their shoppers, scoring a 4.47 out of a possible 5.
"This is the highest trip satisfaction rating found in the last five years and this is great news for the supermarket channel in the midst of unprecedented levels of competition from supercenters, limited assortment stores, warehouse clubs, as well as other formats," said Brain Numainville, a principal with the Retail Feedback Group. "And satisfied shoppers are higher-than-average spenders, more likely to recommend the store to others and more likely to be loyal customers."
The results are a little curious given that two of the nation's largest conventional grocers, Safeway and Supervalu, recently reported weak results – again – suggesting their shoppers may be even more satisfied with other food shopping alternatives.
Not surprisingly, out of stocks and dirty stores negatively affected shoppers' satisfaction levels. According to the study, there are many important elements that impact satisfaction with the grocery trip experience, such as service, checkout speed and cleanliness. However, no factor influences trip satisfaction to the extent of out-of-stocks. Supermarket satisfaction among shoppers unable to find all items they had planned to buy on their shopping trip averaged 3.97 on a five-point scale, compared with 4.54 among shoppers who did find all items. Likewise, shoppers who did not find all items they came in to purchase were much less likely to recommend the store to others. The survey also found that out-of-stocks may cost retailers sales with 50% of those shoppers going to a different store to purchase the item; 38% foregoing the item; 14% buying a different item at the store instead; and 12% buying a different brand or size.
Supermarkets registered strengths in perimeter departments, demonstrated by high satisfaction ratings for dairy/frozen, produce, meat, deli and bakery. On the other hand, prepared/takeout food and seafood offer opportunities for improvement.
The variety and selection of grocery items received one of the top scores by shoppers. However, real opportunity lies in expanding variety in natural/organic products, ethnic/international items, and locally-sourced items – all low-scoring yet areas of growing importance. In addition, private label brands still have room for improvement given their use as a tool for retailers to differentiate themselves in center store.
On their last visit to a supermarket, 90% of shoppers used a cashier lane to check out, as opposed to self-checkout, and 56% indicated that the cashier positively impacted their trip satisfaction. Indeed, cashier friendliness registered as the second-highest scored attribute on the survey. Overall checkout experience also received a respectable score. These findings make it apparent just how important excellent service and a positive checkout experience are to shoppers.
The majority of supermarket shoppers patronize the most conveniently located store. Top reasons for bypassing one or more stores are quality and variety of fresh foods (58%), lower prices in general (46%), and promotions and sales specials (46%).
While price and variety are chief reasons for deciding where to shop, nearly four in 10 shoppers who bypass other stores say they do so because of lack of cleanliness. Keeping a clean store environment is a strength of the supermarket channel, receiving the highest rating in the survey at 4.53.
More than 80% of shoppers indicated it is important that a supermarket be involved in the local community. Yet one-third of shoppers don't know if their store is engaged locally, illustrating a clear opportunity for retailers to better communicate their outreach efforts.
Only 28% of shoppers reported that the store they visited offered a customer feedback program to register concerns or praises. And 61% had no idea whether their store offered a program at all. Among the one in 10 shoppers who indicated their store did not have a program, 85% said they would gladly use a feedback tool, if it were available. Considering those shoppers who did provide feedback to a supermarket, the majority felt that the store made changes based on their feedback.

Where Sydney began, this area contains more historical buildings than anywhere else in the city. Wander the cobblestone lanes and discover a haven of specialty stores, galleries and boutiques offering everything from handmade candles to Aboriginal artefacts. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Observatory Hill tower above, as does the range of 5 star hotels lining the beautiful waters edge. Sit and relax in a park and enjoy the city's best harbour views.
Often overlooked as Sydney's modern convention and exhibition heartland, yet Darling Harbour is home to many other popular attractions including the Australian National Maritime museum, Sydney Aquarium, the Chinese garden and Imax theatre. It is also fast becoming the city's hottest nightspot, offering a choice of popular restaurants and the coolest bars. It is close to Sydney's only casino, Star City.
One of the best known tourist attractions in Sydney (after the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House of course). Kings Cross is ten minutes from the city in light traffic and is Sydney's main nightspot. Casting off the areas past reputation, trendy cafes and modern bars are common here too. Stay in Potts Point and sample a wide array of menus, covering every cuisine and catering to every taste.
Stretching from the city along the southern foreshore of Sydney Harbour to North Head, the Eastern Suburbs include the neighbourhoods of Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Paddington. Call at trendy Double Bay and enjoy the views of Sydney Harbour on the way to Watson Bay. Visit famous Bondi Beach, where the Eastern Suburbs meet the Southern Beaches.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Nongame, Endangered Wildlife Program turns 25
STACEY COLE | May 24. 2013 10:03PM
For many years, cottontail rabbits lived in a patch of woods that bordered our side lawn here at the farm. On summer evenings, after the hustle and bustle of our day's activities had ceased, young bunnies would appear.
Again quoting from Wild Lines: "The year 2012 proved to be the most hopeful yet for bringing back the New England cottontail, as successful habit management and captive-rearing efforts began to see results." Heidi Holman, a biologist with the Nongame Program, said: "Over 450 acres of habitat have been managed on both public and private lands.The regeneration takes time. Some of the areas that were cut a few years ago are just beginning to re-grow into the thick, shrub habitat that cottontails need." (Encouragingly, biologists saw the rabbits using one of these areas for the first time this year.) "In early 2011, wild New England Cottontails were trapped from population strongholds in Connecticut and brought to Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, R.I., to initiate the captive breeding program. Then in December of that year, the first captive-bred cottontails were released into a pen built especially for them at the Ninigret Wildlife Refuge in Rhode Island. This was a pilot project to try introducing them into the wild from captivity," said Holman."
Butterflies were on the mind of a New Boston reader who wrote on April 1: "I was picking up brush in my yard Saturday afternoon and saw my first butterfly. It flitted from here to there for about five minutes. Isn't that an early appearance? I've yet to cut back my butterfly plants as I leave them up all winter long. Birds visit them while waiting their turn at the bird feeders. Just had to tell you of the early arrival of my butterfly."
A Merrimack reader forwarded three photos I found interesting, especially the ones that showed a bluebird at the suet feeder. That, I had never seen before. In one photo a bluebird was facing upward on one end of the suet cage, and a male downy woodpecker was feeding upside down on the other.
Our reader wrote: "Came back for 3 years now to nest in a hanging plant under the eaves of our screened porch! Year-old brown holly bushes help hide the nest!" House finches are known to nest in house plants. But wrens? Possibly.

Dear Kayla,
There isn't really agreement regarding where students should be after an intermediate, advanced course etc.
Some work was done on the topic by Van Ek and the Council of Europe (I think in the 1970's). You could put these names into a search engine and see what comes up. The Council of Europe is also currently doing some work on levels.
You could also look at the UCLES (University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate) website and see what they say about levels. You could also look at Toefl and Toeic websites.
I'm sorry I can't come up with more ideas but there isn't a lot written on the topic.
I hope you find something useful.

Being a poor college student with a passion for driving is a frustrating situation when it comes to choosing a new car. There are many cars on the road I would love to use as a daily driver but my choices are drastically limited once I consider fuel efficiency, insurance rates and dependability. Now, after months of research, I feel as if a 2006-07 WRX might be the perfect car for me. All things considered, it looks like the best compromise between frugality and fun I can find. Can anyone else here offer any thoughts? Maybe other cars to consider?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Montell Jordan
For his debut album, Jordan heavily sampled the music of B.B. King (the first artist to do so) and channeled a positive outlook of South Central L.A. in his lyrics, attempting to balance the negativity emanating from most SoCal gangsta rap. Jordan was rewarded with a massive number one smash, the party anthem "This Is How We Do It," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and sold over one million copies. The accompanying album went platinum as a result. More... followed in 1996, and although it failed to match the success of its predecessor, the record still became a minor hit in its own right, peaking within the Top 20 of the R&B charts and going gold in the process. 1998's Let's Ride and 1999's Get It On...Tonite were similarly successful, with the title tracks of both albums faring well as radio singles.
Under constant pressure to deliver another hit on par with "This Is How We Do It," Jordan heralded his self-titled 2002 record as "the 1st MONTELL JORDAN album," but it failed to make any commercial impact. A year later, he issued the tellingly titled Life After Def, one of his most artistically accomplished albums, through a partnership with the relatively hands-off Koch label. Nearly five years passed before he inked a new deal with Fontana/Universal and issued a new release, Let It Rain. ~ Steve Huey & Andy Kellman

Bernard works part-time at Melbourne Museum devising and delivering presentations for visitors. The other part of the time he has his nose in a book, most often a comic book.
Bernard/Poirot with a copy of Christie's Murder in Mesopotamia.Image: Amanda LinardonSource: Museum Victoria
Once upon a time, I went through a voracious Agatha Christie period, and immersed myself in a fictional universe of murders daring and domestic, and solutions logical and astonishing. I still return to the Queen of Crime from time to time, for a dose of ordered worlds turned upside down, with order (and an enlarged sense of that world) reinstated by Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot.
So when the chance arose to develop a forum around Agatha Christie's experiences on archaeological digs, which directly led to her happy marriage to Max Mallowan and her1936 novel Murder in Mesopotamia, I stuck on my second-best stick-on moustache and leapt in!

Chairperson for the forum, Melbourne crime writer Angela Savage, explains that the idea for the forum came out of friendly banter about what to read in preparation for our Mesopotamia exhibition. "Someone suggested Murder in Mesopotamia, which I was intrigued to learn was Agatha Christie's most autobiographical novel. The more I learned about Agatha's links to archaeology, her marriage to Max Mallowan and the time they spent together on digs in the Middle East, the more intrigued I became."
Setting the scene of Agatha Christie's visits to the digs in Mesopotamia will be Henrietta McCall of the British Museum, joining us via an exclusive pre-recorded interview to show us on-site photographs of Agatha Christie, Max Mallowan, and Leonard and Katherine Woolley, the leaders of the archaeological expedition.

Another of our panellists is crime writer Kerry Greenwood, author of the Phryne Fisher series of crime novels set in 1920s Melbourne (recently adapted into an ABC TV series), who will speak about the 'golden rules' that determine Christie's particular style of crime writing. Kerry will also speak about the fascination that the ancient world holds for her as a fictional setting – both she and Christie have set murder mysteries in Ancient Egypt.
The CEO of Museum Victoria, Patrick Greene, also an experienced archaeologist, is our other panellist. Dr Greene's experiences on archaeological digs and his recent travels to Egypt will figure in the panel discussions.
"The relationships between life and art, between detective fiction and archaeology, and how the allure of ancient worlds finds expression in popular art forms suggests rich material for discussion," says Angela Savage. "To be able to assemble such a distinguished panel feels like quite a coup."
It's great to have an opportunity to fill out my knowledge of the fascinating life of Agatha Christie, and I have it on good authority that our friend M. Poirot may indeed make an appearance at the forum, exercising his famous 'little grey cells'.
