Constance - posted on 01/05/2014 ( 2 moms have responded )
My husband and I have been married 10 years. Neither of us attend church or any other religious gatherings. We allow our 5 and 8 year old sons to attend with his mom/step-dad because they chose to. And we have explained to them that when they feel they don't want to go anymore, they are not obligated to.
His mother and step-dad attend church, gatherings, dinners, etc. Everything they do is with their church. Before our children were born they would try to convince us over and over again, but we declined. The convincing stopped for a few years much to our happiness.
Now that my children are 8 and 5, they have started using our children to convince us to go. At first, it was little comments my MIL would make that would entice our older child to 'talk us' into going. We politely declined again. Well then it got to the point that he was asking us every week and I finally sat down with him. We had a talk and I explained to him that it was great that he goes to church and enjoys it. But that other people make the choice not to and it's not fair to beg/convince them to go. That other people don't have the same beliefs as him. He understood and we've had no more incidents.
Well today, my 5 year old calls me from next door (my in-laws home) and asks me in a sad voice, 'mommy, why don't you go to church with us? you should come, they are having dinner.' I tell him that I'm spending the day at home but if he would like to come home, he could. Well in a sad voice he says, 'ok' and hangs up.
Meanwhile, throughout the whole conversation, I could hear my mother in law and her husband talking to him in the background, telling him what to say.
This really upsets me and frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. I've tried making subtle but polite statements about me not wanting to go to church. She should respect my decision and move on. I'm to the point now, that if she does this again, I'm not going to bite my tongue any longer and she'll get her feelings hurt.
It makes me feel 2 inches tall when she does this and I'm forced to tell my children no. I'm not going to church and be a hypocrite.

Voluntary Euthanasia
As a Filipino citizen, we have great trait towards family which we called "close family ties". This means that we have strong connection and great affection on our family members whether to our parents, grandparents, siblings or any other relatives. We value our relationship with our relatives so much that we can't go on with our live easily without them. But what if the time comes when we we're about to decide whether to let go or not on our family member who is suffering too much because of illness? Are we going to let go to finish his or her sufferings? Or are we going to pretend that we cannot see how much he or she is suffering just to live together with him much longer? In that case, euthanasia issue opens.
Euthanasia from the Greek word "eu-" meaning well or good and "-Thanatos" meaning death. Euthanasia is a broad term for mercy killing—taking the life of a hopelessly ill or injured individual in order to end his or her suffering. Mercy killing represents a serious ethical dilemma. People do not always die well. Some afflictions cause people to suffer through extreme physical pain in their last days, and euthanasia may seem like a compassionate way of ending this pain. Other patients may request euthanasia to avoid the weakness and loss of mental faculties that some diseases cause, and many feel these wishes should be respected.
But euthanasia also seems to contradict one of the most basic principles of morality, which is that killing is wrong. Viewed from a traditional Judeo-Christian point of view, euthanasia is murder and a blatant violation of the biblical commandment "Thou shall not kill." From a secular perspective, one of the principal purposes of law is to uphold the sanctity of human life. Euthanasia is so controversial because it pits the plight of suffering, dying individuals against religious beliefs, legal tradition, and, in the case of physician-assisted death, medical ethics.
This moral dilemma is not new. The term "euthanasia" is derived from ancient Greek, and means "good death." But while the debate over mercy killing has ancient origins, many observers believe that it is harder today to achieve a good death than ever before. Advances in medicine have increased people's health and life span, but they have also greatly affected the dying process. For example, in the early twentieth century the majority of Americans died at home, usually victims of pneumonia or influenza. Today most people die in the hospital, often from degenerative diseases like cancer that may cause a painful, lingering death.
As a college student and as a one of the major decision makers inside the family bond, we have to be aware of this kind of approach. Are you going to agree with legalizing euthanasia here in Philippines or are you going to fight against this? This research will help other people gain knowledge about euthanasia issue and become aware of what euthanasia is going to bring and cause to our fellowmen when be legalized. This research will explain the core of euthanasia and this can also give some of chosen Filipinos to give their sides and opinions towards the issue, must it be legalized or not to be legalized? Background of the Study:
Dutch Penal Code Articles 293 and 294 make both euthanasia and assisted suicide illegal, even today. However, as the result of various court cases, doctors who directly kill patients or help patients kill themselves will not be prosecuted as long as they follow certain guidelines. In addition to the current requirements that physicians report every euthanasia/assisted-suicide death to the local prosecutor and that the patient's death request must be enduring (carefully considered and requested on more than one occasion), the Rotterdam court in 1981 established the following guidelines:
1. The patient must be experiencing unbearable pain.
2. The patient must be conscious.
3. The death...

We had a very nice Sunday here at Camp Shorewood! We discovered this nice table in a room that had some of the Lady's sweaters on it. She made it even more cuddly by putting some towels on them, so we curled right back up on it! It was fun to be up on a table!
We also made them laugh when we tried to visit them when they were using their litter box!
In the afternoon, the Lady sat on a chair in the living room and watched football ALL DAY! Boy, she must like football alot! The Man made her all cozy by bringing out a blanket for her. Madison thought she might enjoy that, too, so she crawled right underneath the blanket and slept by the Lady's feet! Hmmm...maybe I'll try that next time.
We got to play with the Man (we think his name is Macks?) at night. He's fun! I really like to watch the Lady type on the computer. This morning, I came up on her lap and made myself right at home.

"Wooooooooooooohoooooooooooo!" Kathryn yelled into the wind as she stood up out of the open sunroof. Pete accelerated over the bridge as Kathryn took in the view of the river below.
She collapsed into her seat and turned up the stereo, which was blasting Third Eye Blind. She and Peter both sang along at the top of their lungs between spurts of laughter. Semi-Charmed Life was the theme of their high school prom. An event that they'd missed since Kathryn had been in the hospital giving birth to their son. They'd just dropped Colby off at college and discovered they had no idea what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives.
"Where to next, gorgeous?" Peter asked as he exited the bridge.
"Hmmm…a great dinner…"
"Sounds good…"
"Then dancing all night…a greasy breakfast at a diner and then…"
"Watching the sun rise over the ocean?"
Kathryn smiled at him. "You know me so well."
"Let's do it!"
They sped up the coast, towards the sunset.

I keep coming back for more because learning about wine is delicious and educational. These classes have allowed me to taste wine varietals I didn't even know existed, and have a greater appreciation for the whole wine experience. The atmosphere at Capital Cellars is casual and welcoming. I highly recommend the wine classes for anyone just starting their wine journey to wine aficionados.

Resignations bring constitutional crisis : Congress MP జనవరి 16, 2010Posted by Telangana Utsav in agitation, Andhra, BJP, conflict resolution, Congress, JAC, MIM, Parliament, politics, PRP, Rayalaseema, regionalism, Sonia, students, TDP, Telangana, TRS, universities.
'Resignations will lead to a constitutional crisis' Staff Reporter, The Hindu 16 Jan, 2010
Any hasty move will derail Telangana formation: Congress MP
• TD conspiring to destablise government and take advantage of the situation, say Congressmen
• Attribute the impending crisis to some political parties which went back on their stand
WARANGAL: Congress Member of Parliament S. Rajaiah and senior leader K. Dayasagara Rao opined that there is no need for the party leaders to tender their resignations on the separate Telangana issue.
The Congress leaders said the Central government had categorically stated that the process on separate Telangana had begun and hence the leaders should not resort to any hasty decision as it would only derail the process.
"By creating a constitutional crisis, the problem will not be solved. The TDP is conspiring to destablise the government and take advantage of the situation," they pointed out.
Mr. Rao said the TDP had lost face both in Andhra and Telangana regions and is trying to gain political mileage from the ongoing turmoil.
He advised the Congress leaders not to play into the hands of the TDP leaders. Attributing the impending crisis to the some political parties which went back on their stand on separate Telangana, Mr. Rao said the Congress is committed to the issue and would deliver its promise made to the people of the region.
The pressure being exerted on the Telangana Congress leaders and consequent moves by the MLAs are only confusing the party high command.
"Since the party high command is seized of the issue, the leaders in Telangana region should strictly abide by its decision and withdraw their resignations enabling it to continue the process," he explained.
The Congress Member of Parliament and Mr. Rao said the Union Home Minister only talked about a road map on wide range of consultations and not on whether to go ahead on separate Telangana State.
"A decision has already been taken on the issue. However, since the leaders of Rayalaseema and Andhra feel left out, the government proposes to engage them in further decision making process," the Congress leaders pointed out.

There is simply nothing like starting off your day with a plunge into the Pacific Ocean. After much anticipation (at least by yours truly), the exciting Wednesday morning Ocean Speed Circuit swims have finally returned! A number of crazed, sleep deprived triathletes and swimmers alike, braved the 57 degree waters last week, and then again this week. Only this time, we were greeted with a playful school of dolphins, yearning for us to come and join them out by the turn-around buoy!
One might ask, "why in the hell would someone get up at 5:30 so that they could go jump in sub-60 degree ocean water by 6:30?!" And I might respond, "because it's what we do. There's no rhyme or reason, it's just part of the multi-sport lifestyle!"
A friend of mine aptly put it, " man, when you dive through that first wave and that cold water hits your face, it is quite a shock! It takes about 3/4 of a lap to get warm!"
Yes, perhaps the first couple (more like 5 or 6) Wednesday swims, the sheer thought of jumping into the water barely before sun rise sends a shiver down your spine. But, as the season begins to change from late spring to early summer, the water gets warmer, the crowd of crazed individuals becomes vast and more enthusiastic, and what we're doing down on the Santa Monica beach at the crack of dawn soon lends a response to the question, "why in the hell?!" -- BECAUSE IT'S WHAT WE DO!!

Wearing a black-and-white checkered dress, her hair in a braid, 10-year-old Radalphta Moise played with several children her age after Tuesday's Rotary meeting in Hendersonville, enjoying every moment.
Wearing a black-and-white checkered dress, her hair in a braid, 10-year-old Radalphta Moise played with several children her age after Tuesday's Rotary meeting in Hendersonville, enjoying every moment.
Her smiling face does not reveal the hardships she has endured over the past two years. Radalphta was badly burned in a fire sparked by an oil lamp while living in Haiti. She will undergo treatment to repair scar tissue during her six-month stay in the United States.
Pardee Hospital partnered with Rotary Club of Hendersonville and Four Seasons Rotary Club to sponsor her trip and medical care through the Gift of Life of the Carolinas program. The program provides children and young adults in third-world countries with necessary medical treatment that's typically not available in their home countries. Participants receive all-expenses-paid travel, accommodations and medical treatment.
Radalphta and her mother, Fredette, arrived at Asheville Regional Airport shortly before Christmas. In just a few weeks, surgeons will repair much of the scar tissue on her right arm and back.
The fire burned Radalphta's right arm from her shoulder to her elbow, creating scar tissue that fused that portion of her arm to her chest, inhibiting her movement.
Dr. William L. Overstreet III, a plastic surgeon with Blue Ridge Plastic Surgery, will operate in February at Pardee Hospital. He will release the tissue in that area as well as both elbows, which suffered from similar injuries.
While Radalphta is under anesthesia, Overstreet will also touch up the scar from a previous surgery on her cleft lip.
"I want to fulfill what I want to do as a medical missionary," Overstreet said about his motivation for helping.
This is the surgeon's third Gift of Life of the Carolinas patient, and he said he hopes to help even more.
"All this does is cost me time," Overstreet said. "The hospital is making the major sacrifice (financially)."
Pardee officials offer their facility free of charge for operations through the program.
"We feel it's part of our role as a community hospital to help this child," said Myra Grant, vice president for the Pardee Foundation.
In addition to her medical care, Flat Rock Opticians provided the mother and daughter with glasses and Dr. Matthew Young is offering dental care.
In the meantime, Radalphta and Fredette are being introduced to American culture during their stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains — an environment very different from their homeland.
Radalphta and her mother have been living with Rose and Joseph Dwyer, who have three children of their own — Isaiah, 10, and Micah and Hannah, both 8 years old.
This is the Dwyers' second time hosting a family.
"Everything has been going really well," Rose Dwyer said. "Radalphta is so full of love and joy. We try to expose her to everyday life."
Radalphta and Fredette saw snow and other wintry conditions for the first time, with temperatures plunging into the teens.
"I like it here but it is too cold," Radalphta's mom said in her native language, Creole.
But with frozen conditions, many outdoor opportunities arise for a young girl. Radalphta and the Dwyers' children spent their snow days playing outside and sledding, and they even built a snowman.
When playtime is over, she studies alongside the Dwyer children, who are homeschooled. Radalphta, who also speaks Creole, has learned to say several greetings and some phrases in English.
"We come in peace," she said, laughing and waving one hand in the air.
The Dwyers also bring the Moises to First Baptist Church in Hendersonville. Radalphta loves to sing along with the choir.
The Moises also experienced Christmas in the mountains last month, including the tradition of shopping for gifts and waking up to a pile of presents under the Dwyer's Christmas tree.
"She was shocked," Hannah said about Radalphta's reaction to all the wrapped gifts.
Santa gave Radalphta plenty of dolls, which was a big hit.
"My favorite part has been the baby dolls," Radalphta said.
The Gift of Life of the Carolinas is directed by Florence Allbaugh and Harry Lewis.
"It's an honor to help this child lead a normal life," Lewis said.
Radalphta is the program's fourth patient.
"I am just happy to be here," she said with a smile.
For more information or if you would like to help, contact Harry Lewis at 828-329-1653 or Florence Allbaugh at 843-422-1190.

Feature • PS Portions
July Reflection: Preaching in context … Even when it is difficult
by the Rev. Dr. Karyn L. Wiseman
One of the first things that I teach in my intro to preaching course is the importance of being true to the CONTEXTS of preaching — the plural nature of that word is absolutely intentional. I remind students that realtors may talk about the importance of "location, location, location." But in preaching it's "context, context, context."
Being attentive to multiple contexts includes determining the possible intentions of the original writer, the circumstances of the writing, the intended audience when the text was written, the current preacher's particular and personal context, and the context of the community into which the sermon will be preached, among others. That is a lot of contexts to balance but the preacher must be attuned to all of these issues as they craft their sermon in order to be contextually relevant, informed wholly in the needs of the preaching moment, and sensitive to the realities of the texts.
During the past few months — and years — the context in which preaching occurs has seemingly become more and more problematic for preachers to address the issues of the day in relationship to the needs of their community of faith. Issues of race, income inequality, gun violence, divisive politics, homophobia, and others spark conflict and controversy on a regular basis in many communities of faith.
Preaching is already hard enough on a regular Sunday, but preaching after eruptions of these issues in the media and beyond can pose an intriguing situation for preachers. While the job of preaching in a post-traumatic environment is not new, it appears that the frequency and numbers are on the rise.
Over the past few years, preachers have been challenged to preach in contexts where gun violence has occurred or in response to violence in communities across the country and around the world. Preachers have been asked to address issues ranging from #blacklivesmatter to Sandy Hook to Trayvon Martin to income inequality and now to the recent massacre of the Charleston 9 at "Mother Emanuel" AME Church and the burning of Black churches in the South. These are difficult times in the best of circumstances, but the added tension of a polarized society makes them even harder for preachers and for our listeners.
I believe preachers are called to preach the gospel and address current issues as they occur. I believe that it is our call as public theologians to advocate for those who are being oppressed and to be partners with our brothers and sisters of color whose lives are being taken, whose churches are being burned, and whose very existence is threatened. I believe that preaching the word of God means taking risks and speaking prophetically.
So what is a preacher to do?
First and foremost, the preacher has to be bold. Speak truth to power. Be unafraid of challenging the racist, sexist, and homophobic realities of our world. Speak truth about gun violence and the human toll of the mass shootings that are happening way too often. Be bold to take a side for justice and equality. Be bold to live the gospel of inclusion, love, and grace. Your context will need to be taken into account, but you need to challenge the ways we as a culture are not honoring the personhood of all people. You need to challenge any ways that your congregation and its members are holding on to negative impressions of "others" in your community. You need to help people learn ways to support, love, and honor each other and those that aren't like them.
Second, the preacher has to be sensitive to his or her own context. Not every context requires the same type of response. Ask yourself some important questions. What has happened? Is it a local event or a national event? Has it personally impacted members of our community of faith or is it impactful to some more than to others? How has our community dealt with trauma and violence in the past? What are the issues that our specific context will need to be attentive to? In what specific ways must I challenge, affirm, or educate my context?
Next, the preacher needs to address the issue of the appropriate text for the sermon. Many use the lectionary for their weekly preaching choices, however, and this is important — the lectionary is a guide, it is NOT the law. If the text cannot be effective in addressing the issues and concerns of your context, you must consider veering off the lectionary for the day. It is pastorally irresponsible to utilize a text that is inappropriate for the preaching that needs to occur. And preaching needs to be done to address the issues confronting our communities, our country, and our world.
Lastly, we must take care to be sensitive but not evasive. We have to name the sins and claim the forgiveness of God. But it cannot be a cheap and easy grace that we extend too quickly. It cannot be a way to avoid dealing with the hard issues confronting us or as a way to excuse our past or current beliefs, actions, or inactions.
After the Charleston shooting, many preachers asked me if they should address the shooting in their churches. "Of course you should," I responded (actually I was a bit more forceful than that).
Whether you are in a predominantly African American context, a majority European/Anglo context, or a context with rich diversity, speaking about the deep-seeded issues of race and violence from the pulpit is an imperative. We must speak about the ways we do damage and injury to our brothers and sisters both by our actions and by our inaction. We must speak about the ways we can advocate for and be companions with those who have been impacted by violence, racism, and homophobia.
In the past few weeks alone, we have had opportunity to address the Charleston shooting, the legalization of gay marriage nationwide, racism, gun violence, church burnings, and much, much more. Some preachers have allowed these occasions to become springboards for important conversations — from the pulpit and in forums and small group gatherings. These are important dialogues, but they cannot stop there.
We have to continue to address the social issues in our contexts long after the news vans have packed up and left the sites of these events and long after the public consciousness has moved on to other concerns.
Preaching is a calling to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Preaching is a way to impact our communities of faith both inside and outside the walls of the church to act in a disciplined and principled manner. Preaching is a gift and a responsibility that we must take seriously. So as you approach any week of preaching — remember to address your context, discern your intentions, and honor the work and witness of Jesus.
The Rev. Dr. Karyn L. Wiseman is Associate Professor of Homiletics and Director of United Methodist Studies at The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia.

Growing up I was always in a one piece. Although options were slimmer back then, I still loved the ones I came by! There are so many options now days. Here are some one-pieces I think look fantastic!
Two Types of One-Pieces
Although there are many different style one pieces we are going to talk about the two main styles today. There's the kind we are use to seeing and the kind that has a little bit of a short added to it. The short style one comes from the 1920s when one-pieces became more popular. I love that the one with the short style is coming back because I feel like those can be more comfortable than the bikini line ones.
Years ago woman were encouraged to be modest, until the bikini came out. Then I think in all good spirits of women's freedom, they made more revealing clothing. This may work for some but it doesn't work for me. I like going to the pool or the beach knowing I'm not going to fall out of my bathing suit. Call me crazy but it just feels better.
Benefits Of The More Modern One-Piece
Although it is harder for me to find one of these that fit right, I love all the different patterns they have to offer. You can get so many gorgeous patterns when you do a good search. You will definitely be able to find a one-piece to fit your style if you look for one of these.
Benefits Of The 1920s Style Swimsuit
I've always admired the 1920s style suits and wondered where I could get one. Well, now days all it takes is looking online! Because of modern technology, you can find patterned ones or plain. You don't even need to step out of your living room! Whether you like the more affordable kind or want to invest in something awesome, you can find anything under the sun! There are just so many options in our day!
In a recent search I found some pretty nice ones here and they are at a decent price too.
Wearing Your One-Piece With Pride
If you love one-pieces, don't be afraid, I do too! You wear what you like and you enjoy you. I love that there are so many options today so each person can have their individual style. Like what you see and want more? Stay tuned for more later this week!

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity (Colossians 3:12-14)."
Khalid is an alchemist in who has tried to trick his ruler into believing that he could make gold from other substances. When his deception is discovered, Khalid's hand is removed as punishment.
Author Kim Stanley Robinson portrays Khalid as a disillusioned, bitter man in his novel "The Years of Rice and Salt". Khalid begins to care for nothing, and even begins to destroy his precious books and alchemy equipment.
Bahram wants to help his father-in-law Khalid, so he seeks out the local mystic for advice. The sufi tells him that Khalid's problem is that he has depended soley on his intellect, and now that he has seen its limits he is depressed.
He further tells Bahram:
"Intellect has no real mettle, you see, and at the first real threat, into a hole it scuttles. But love is divine. It comes from the realm of the infinite, and is entrusted to the heart as a gift from God. Love has no calculation in it. 'God loves you' is the only possible sentence. So it's love you must follow to the heart of your father-in-law."
Bahram follows the msytic's advice. He begins to take over Khalid's jobs, which he is neglecting. Bahram keeps his spirit high.
However, Khalid wants no part in this effort to love him. He snarls at any affection, even from his wife, daughter or grandchildren. He is an irritable curmudgeon.
Khalid even balks when Bahram suggests outright during a scientific experiment that love is the unknown force involved in causal chains. He mocks Bahram's idea, citing the immorality of the religious figures around him.
Bahram and the rest of Khalid's relatives had to be frustrated. Despite their continued love to the old crank, he continued to resist.
A spiritual mentor of mine told me once that real change is possible, even when someone resists the change. He said that God uses circumstances and suffering to force us to look inward so that we make real and lasting change.
I could be Khalid. I have a good tendency to be a stubborn curmudgeon. It's a male trait of my family.
Yet, Khalid and I are different in that I at least have tried to affect change. The trying events and suffering God had brought into my life has made me run to God in despair.
I have realized I can' t think my way out of my problems. If I could do that, my problems would have been solved long ago.
When I overthink the same old stuff, it just becomes like trying to refry the same old egg. It just gets me nowhere.
What I have met when I have run to God is steadfast love. What I have seen in the darkness is the loving light of Christ, and Him waiting for me with open arms.
I have seen the truth of what Jeremiah wrote in the Old Testament in the Bible:
I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:19-23)."
I have learned a big lesson. I have earned that since God hasn't given up on me, and has continued to love me despite my denseness, stubborness, and resistance, I should in turn love others like me.
I think of a person I have encountered at work in this regard. This young man after several months continues to resist the efforts made toward him to help him succeed.
I had not seen him for a while, but now he is back in my day-to-day sphere of influence. Last week, when he broke some rules, I strongly rebuked him. I had some recollection in my mind that this fellow had failed when I had tried to help him before.
I checked some records, and sure enough he had been with me this summer. I have thought its best that he find another person besides me to help him.
Yet, I am reconsidering this thought to day. Perhaps I ought to try a different approach, the way of love.
My bad temper is not going to work with him. I could see it in his face as I barked.
The wise man of Proverbs says that pleasant words promote instruction, and provide sweetness and healing. He also says that a person who controls his temper and remains patient is better than a combat soldier.
It may be the world' s way to be a martinet, but it isn't necessarily God's. The wise man of Proverbs tells us that there is a way that SEEMS right, but it leads to death. This could very well be true of a harsh approach with the particular indivual I am dealing with at work.
I think the fictional character Bahram has hit on something. Love is the force that holds the whole world together.
Ishouldn't give up on it even when others don't want any part of it. God surely hasn't given up on me. He keeps on loving.

The Celtic boss is not a good loser - especially when it comes to cup finals...
Celtic boss Ronny Deila has opened up about his hatred of losing and the 'worst' thing he's done in his career, according to Celtic's official Twitter feed.
Interestingly, his 'worst' moment wasn't confronting an opposition player in rage, getting sent to the stands or falling out with one of his star performers.
It was simply losing a match - albeit a cup final.
Indeed, ahead of Sunday afternoon's Scottish League Cup final, the Celtic boss has been discussing how much he dislikes not winning. And defeat to Dundee United this weekend would no doubt be treated with similar contempt by the Norwegian.
RD: "I hate losing. I've lost one cup final in my life and it's maybe the worst thing I've done so we will do everything we can to win."— Celtic Football Club (@celticfc) March 12, 2015
Speaking specifically about Celtic's clash with Dundee United, Deila has also been talking up the size and significance of the occasion.
The Bhoys have not won the Scottish League Cup since 2009 and will no doubt relish the opportunity to change that come Sunday.
Deila is therefore keen for Celtic to play at their best and not underwhelm as they have done on occasion this season.
RD: "It's a huge game. It's one of our targets and goals and we can achieve it. We're 90 minutes, hopefully, from a trophy."— Celtic Football Club (@celticfc) March 12, 2015
RD: "If we play bad and lose that's the worst thing but if we play good we've got the quality to win."— Celtic Football Club (@celticfc) March 12, 2015
Celtic are currently six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership and will also face Dundee United once more in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals - a replay after having drawn with Jackie McNamara's men last weekend.

Two Charts That Show How Fast Snapchat Is GrowingBy and
Snapchat Inc. is raising money that could value the company at as much as $19 billion. If completed, the deal would make Snapchat the third-most valuable venture-backed company in the world.
At this time last year, the startup was cooking up a financing round at a $10 billion valuation, after turning down Facebook Inc.'s acquisition offer at more than $3 billion. So how did Snapchat get from $3 billion to $19 billion? It's all about growth.
Here's a chart that shows how quickly the company is growing versus its competitors.
Snapchat was used by 29.4 percent of Apple Inc.'s iPhone users in the U.S. as of Jan. 24, according to 7Park Data Inc., a New York-based company that tracks and analyzes application activity on phones. The company's popularity trumps that of many other buzzy messaging and photo applications in its category, including Kik, Twitter Inc.'s Vine and Yik Yak. It's also inching closer to Facebook's photo-sharing application, Instagram. Instagram has 300 million monthly active users, which is more than Twitter.
Here's a closer look at Snapchat's growth, on both Apple's iOS and Google Inc.'s Android:
Snapchat was launched out of a fraternity in 2011 as an application for friends to send annotated photos -- mostly selfies -- to each other. The photos or videos disappear a few seconds after the recipient views them. Since then, the company has added a slew of new features to entice users, letting them make their own "story" posts for all of their friends to see.
Now, the Los Angeles-based company is getting more serious about its business side, introducing channels for news and entertainment from media companies including Vice and National Geographic. They've also started advertising, with optional-to-view posts that disappear, just like everything else.
A Snapchat representative declined to comment.
Investors are always on the lookout for the next Facebook or Twitter. Snapchat is social media, but its business model doesn't make it the next anything. It's not banking on using demographic data from its users to target ads. Content isn't going viral -- it's being curated into various channels by editors. That makes it harder to value the company. But if you're an investor, you get plenty of numbers -- more detailed than what we're seeing here. And they might add up to $19 billion.

We Need Your Help
Posted Saturday 25th March 2017
Dear Member of Rare Disease UK
We need your help.
On Tuesday, MPs will meet in Parliament to debate the implementation of the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases in England. This is a huge opportunity for us to raise awareness of the problems facing patients and families affected by rare conditions in accessing a timely diagnosis, coordinated care and appropriate treatment. These issues were highlighted in a report recently published by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Rare, Genetic and Undiagnosed Conditions.
We are pleased that Ben Howlett MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Rare, Genetic and Undiagnosed Conditions, has secured this Westminster Hall Debate, which will take place on Tuesday 28 March from 4.30-5.30pm. This opportunity, however, will not come around again.
To make sure enough MPs attend who support the needs of patients and families living with a rare disease, we are asking all our supporters to please e-mail your MP ahead of the event. We have written a template e-mail which you can personalise and send to your MP. This can be downloaded here. If you're not sure who your MP is, and to find their e-mail address, click here.
The time to act is now
This debate couldn't come at a more crucial time. Just last week, NICE announced its decision to implement an upper funding threshold for its Highly Specialised Technology Programme, the main route used to evaluate medicines for rare disease patients. If implemented, the plans will significantly affect rare disease patients and their ability to access life-changing treatment, delivered at a time when we should be expanding access routes rather than further limiting them.
Our parent charity, Genetic Alliance UK has called for a pause in implementation of these plans, and for a consultation and impact assessment on the proposals. You can read Genetic Alliance UK's full response here. In our template letter ahead of next week's debate, we have also encouraged MPs to ask questions in Parliament to raise awareness about these damaging changes.
We were shocked and appalled by the attack in Westminster. Our thoughts are with those killed and injured and their families. We applaud the bravery and dedication of those in the emergency services who sought to control the situation and help those killed and injured without thought to their own safety. The debate remains scheduled to go ahead as planned, and on the advice of the Prime Minister for Parliament to resume as normal, we still encourage our supporters to contact their MPs and raise awareness of the importance of implementing the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases for all those affetced by rare, genetic and undiagnosed conditions.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Farhana Ali Public Affairs Manager

Measuring chances: Wai-Ching Leung explains odds and probabilities
In my latest article in the Student BMJ, I noted that statistics are useful when events are not entirely predictable.1 An important use of medical statistics is to measure this level of certainty and estimate how likely certain events are to happen. One clinical example is our attempt to estimate from our clinical assessment how likely it is that a patient is suffering from a given disease. If a 70 year old woman is admitted to an emergency department with central chest pain but with a normal electrocardiogram, how likely is it that has she had a heart attack? Another example relates to hypothesis testing. Suppose we wish to find out whether brain tumours are associated with use of mobile phones. But no matter how many people we get data on, we can never be absolutely certain. Instead we measure the level of certainty by estimating how likely the data

I loved the honesty of the book, and the way that it was presented through the letters, and avoiding information which could reveal Charlie's true identity. The story was very interesting and I felt like I could understand Charlie, which was nice. I was highly recommended the book, and will pass on the same praise to anyone looking for a short, amazing novel about teenage life. In fact, to anyone, even if they aren't looking for that sort of book!
"I walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't." [Page 73]
My rating: (3.5/5.0)

Things have been entirely too eventful around here. On Thursday night, the downstairs carbon monoxide detector went off. Suspecting a defect, since it came with the house and is of unknown age, I checked the upstairs detector too, which offers a digital readout of CO levels. It was reading above zero, not very high but still above zero. Uh-oh.
In the fall of 1998, we had a similar alarm in the old house that led to complications and cost money. The old heater in the old house was oozing the gas, probably because the previous owner had neglected annual maintenance on it. Bad news: we need a new heater. Good news: the house was still under warranty, which actually paid for the new heater. More bad news: all the air ducts needed to be removed, and some of them had been wrapped long, long ago with asbestos tape. Worse news: we needed asbestos remediation before the new ducts could be installed. Worst news: it cost a lot, and wasn't covered by the warranty.
I knew about the asbestos, and fully planned to follow the house inspector's advice on it. Don't touch it, don't move it, don't do anything to it. But that wasn't an option because of the bum heater. I didn't know about the bum heater because the inspector had missed that. Oops. Argh. To live is to war with trolls.
So I was fully aware on Thursday that a little alarm like that could mean big trouble, over and above the fact that poison gas was in the house. If it were the heater, I'd really be steamed, because I paid to have it inspected and cleaned last month, and the tech said it was in fine shape. Or would there be a new gas water heater or stove to buy? And what other costly secrets would the house reveal in the process?
Firemen came at my request and confirmed that, indeed, CO was loose, but not in hazardous quantities. They radioed the gas company, who in turn sent a gas tech, who checked for CO emission. It was coming from the stove, upon which soup had been cooking for sometime. One of the disks covering the burner was misaligned, causing an unclean burn. Once the burner was turned off, it's quite easy to put it back in alignment. That was it. The gas tech was polite about it, but I was fairly certain he was thinking "idiot." I cracked the windows a short time and the CO vanished.
Idiot, maybe, but I did sleep pretty well that night. Dodged that bullet, I did. But Friday was another day.

Welcome to Home Improvement Jobs, a new blog that will be centered on looking at the many types of jobs that can be done around the home with regards to improving it in some way. Oh, you thought this would be all about jobs in the home improvement industry? Well, I'm not ruling that option out and there will also be some resources to that effect included with this blog.
In fact, the plan will be to combine the two sides of this particular coin when it comes to renovating, improving, refurbishing or simply sprucing up your home. The jobs that need to be done can be done by the homeowner who is handy with their hands and their tools, or by a professional who comes with guaranteed work and public liability insurance so that if anything goes wrong, its covered!
That leads me nicely on to some of the things that will be written about in here. Subject covered will include, but not be restricted to rebuilding or remodeling interior rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and other living spaces to either make them bigger, smaller, more functional or more aesthetically pleasing. You choose which works best for you out of that lot! I'll also be covering the inclusion of furniture, fixed or mobile, plumbing, electrical wiring, home improvement finance, home improvement companies, bathroom design and layout, kitchen design and layout, outdoor work such as patios, pools, garages, drives, exterior walls and fences, lighting, home security... the whole shebang in fact!
What qualifies me to write on all these subjects?
I worked as a builder, refurbishment consultant and decorator for several years for a professional building company. I can therefore write on these subjects from a first hand perspective having done the work myself and assisted with others in many different aspects of the building industry. I find its better to get advice and knowledge straight from the horses mouth than to read about what someone read and copied from someplace else without knowing or understanding what was even going on.
Your choice, of course, as the Internet is full of websites and blogs all providing their own take on this kind of advice. So that's where we begin at this place and if i need to put in a link to a related resource that I believe explains something better than I can, I'm big enough to admit it and place the link!
See you again soon!

Massachusetts man gets Nebraska prison time

The Nebraska State Patrol says nearly 80 pounds of pot was found in a vehicle that Chan had been driving on Feb. 4, 2011, in Lincoln.

The worldwide application integration and middleware (AIM) software market will hit $27 billion this year -- an increase of seven per cent from last year, a new report said on Friday.
"Growth in mobile, big data, analytics, in-memory computing, cloud and Internet of Things initiatives is associated with digital business and requires application and integration professionals to invest in new AIM technologies," said Fabrizio Biscotti, research vice president at Gartner.
This, in turn, drives fresh integration approaches with new AIM technologies at their core, such as application programmable interface management and integration platform as a service, he added.
The AIM software market is split into mature and emerging segments.
Mature segments are large in size and most of the market is consolidated in the hands of a few established players.
A high proportion of revenue is generated from maintenance fees and growth is slow, typically single-digit.
Examples of mature segments include application servers and business process management suites.
"Cloud application infrastructure offerings are still maturing, yet already meet market demands for greater agility, scalability, productivity and efficiency better than their on-premises alternatives," said Biscotti.

I hate to break it to you, but teenagers sometimes have sex. And do drugs. And behave like hedonist narcissist jerks. OMFG, right? In a world in which reality TV stars defecate on camera and sex tapes are traded for stardom, horny high-schoolers shouldn't be headline news. But Skins, MTV's hyper-hyped, over-sexed remake of the hit British teen drama, makes no bones about the fact that it's courting controversy. It's ubiquitous ads, featuring the comely young cast draped over each other like a sweaty human Jenga game, might as well bear the caption "Not your mother's Gossip Girl."
Except it kind of is. From its opening moments it's clear that Skins is trying too hard. The credits flash footage of the cast making out, smoking joints, wiping tears and walking in angsty American Apparel formation. The first frames of the premiere episode, which aired Jan. 17, feature a raccoon-eyed waif doing the walk of shame shoeless in the snow. She tries to catch her brother's attention so that he can distract their parents while she sneaks into her room, but he's busy watching the exhibitionist MILF across the street disrobe through her window. The second episode, which aired Jan. 24, opens with a hot lesbian cheerleader (is there any other kind?) popping a pill, going to a club and bringing home a conquest. Before each episode, MTV sternly reminds us that the show is rated TV-MA, which stands for "mature." The show, ironically, is anything but.
Skins is an ensemble, but judging from the first episodes its main character is Tony Snyder (James Newman)—the aforementioned voyeuristic brother—a cross between Emile Hirsch and Fred Savage who lives like a lascivious Ferris Bueller. His cocksure swagger and smarmy charm make him the most popular guy in school—as well as the puppet master of his friends, who round out the principal cast. There's Stan (Daniel Flaherty), a mop-topped slacker virgin (the first episode centers around Tony trying to get Stan laid, to no avail); Michelle (Rachel Thevenard), Tony's equally horny girlfriend and the oblivious object of Stan's affections; Chris (Jesse Carere), a loudmouth party animal; Tea (Sofia Black D'elia), the gorgeous gay cheerleader who nonetheless has sex with Tony in the second episode; Cadie (Britne Oldford), a pill-popping weirdo with a knife fetish who lets everyone believe she deflowered Stan; Eura (Eleanor Zichy), Tony's near-mute little sister; and Daisy (Camille Cresencia-Mills) and Abbud (Ron Mustafaa), who I'm sure have sparkling and unique personalities but who serve mainly as token minority hangers-on.
The kids in Skins seem initially divided into two groups—the smart phone-equipped, cherry-lipped beautiful people and their slightly less attractive sidekicks—while the adults are ludicrous caricatures: hysterical mob soldier fathers, emotionally unstable teachers, tracksuit-wearing drug kingpins. And while the dialogue is almost exclusively sexual, it's not edgy. It's desperate to be shocking, but it errs more on the side of its supposed antithesis Gossip Girl. Skins is polished to a high sheen, too concerned with keeping up appearances to get really dirty. Expletives are bleeped out, and the kids play with their phones more often than with their genitals. How anyone is arguing that Skins may violate child pornography laws is beyond me.
The second installment was an improvement over the pilot, but Skins' message is muddy. Is it an irreverent, over-the-top, ratings-baiting lark, or a show with an actual message? Right now, it seems like the former—after all, it's hard to follow Glee's fan-favorite, long-suffering gay character Kurt with a young woman who coos, "I screw girls. So what?" while swigging vodka with a boy she's about to bang. A post-masturbation heart-to-heart with her Holocaust survivor grandmother (yes, really) doesn't do much to make her sympathetic. Like the rest of her friends, Tea is too anesthetized and navel-gazing to summon anything resembling real emotion. "You really don't give a [bleep], do you?" Tony asks Tea in the second episode. "No, I really don't," she replies. Then why should we?

Obesity continues to be a problem, one that extends throughout life as children move into adolescence and adulthood and choose progressively less physical activity and less healthy diets. This public health issue needs to be addressed early in childhood, when children are adopting the behaviours that they will carry through life. Eat Well & Keep Moving will help children learn to adopt physically active and nutritionally healthy lifestyles that significantly reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and other diseases. In extensive field tests among students and teachers using the programme, children ate more fruit and vegetables, reduced their intake of saturated fat, watched less TV and improved their knowledge of nutrition and physical activity.

Aerobic exercise training following stroke, as delivered through a cardiac rehabilitation program, increases blood flow throughout the brain, according to a study at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The small study, funded by the HSF Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery, compared seven people who took part in a six-month training program with 13 people who did not exercise. Brain imaging showed blood flow increased by as much as 20 percent in frontal regions of the brain, which are responsible for executive function. The goal is to design and deliver exercise programs to improve cognition after stroke.

GEOFFREY L MCCABE, PLAINTIFF,v.EX FLOYD ROSE GUITARS, FLOYD ROSE PARTE MARKETING INC.; FLOYD D. ROSE, DAVITT & HANSER MUSIC CO.; PING WELL INDUSTRIAL CO.; DOES 1-10, INCLUSIVE., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Honorable Janis L. SammartinoUnited States District Judge
(Doc. Nos. 37 & 59.)
Plaintiff's first amended complaint alleges infringement of five patents, patent false marking, and common law and statutory unfair competition. (Doc. No. 42 (FAC)). On December 7, 2010, Defendant Floyd Rose Marketing, Inc. (Floyd Rose), requested the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to perform ex parte reexamination of all five asserted patents. (Doc. No. 37 (Mot. to Stay) at 3.) Three days later, Defendant filed the present motion to stay. (Id.) The motion was filed before the USPTO granted reexamination, and the Court ordered supplemental briefing on the motion after reexamination was granted. (Doc. No. 54.) After considering all relevant documents and admissible evidence, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Defendant's motion to stay.
The determination of whether to grant a stay pending the resolution of a reexamination of a patent at the United States Patent and Trademark Office is within the discretion of the district court. Gould v. Control Laser Corp., 705 F.2d 1340, 1341 (Fed. Cir. 1983). When ruling on a motion to stay the Court considers several factors: (1) the stage of the litigation, including whether discovery is or will be almost completed and whether the matter has been marked for trial; (2) whether a stay will unduly prejudice or tactically disadvantage the nonmoving party; and (3) whether a stay will simplify the issues in question and streamline the trial, thereby reducing the burden the burden of litigation on the parties and on the court. See Alltech, Inc. v. Cenzone Tech, Inc., 2007 WL 935516, at *2 (S.D. Cal March 21, 2007).
The early stage of this litigation favors a stay. This Court has entertained only Defendants' motions to dismiss based on procedural matters and the present motion to stay. The parties have not yet begun discovery or made any headway on the merits of the claims.
The second factor concerns issues of prejudice and tactical disadvantage to Plaintiff if a stay is granted. Plaintiff claims prejudice based on "the lapse of time during reexamination, which could result in loss of evidence and the fading of witness memory." (Doc. No. 56 at 4.) Plaintiff states that the patent infringement claims involve evidence dating back to 2001 and that the false marking and unfair competition claims involve evidence dating back more than thirty years. (Id. at 4--5.) As a result, Plaintiff argues that evidence "will be (or has been) lost and respective memories will continue to fade if resolution of this case is delayed any further." (Id. at 5.) The Court finds that the second factor weighs in favor of denying a stay because the lapse of time during reexamination could compound the loss of evidence and the fading of witness memory. Alltech, Inc., 2007 WL 935516, at *2.
The last factor is whether a stay would simplify the issues in question and streamline the trial. The answer is no. Defendant requested reexamination of the five asserted patents, but Plaintiff does not claim only patent infringement. Plaintiff also alleges causes of action for patent false marking and unfair competition. And those causes of action are based on Defendant's patents, not Plaintiff's. Defendant's requested reexamination does not affect Plaintiff's false marking and unfair competition claims. On those claims, the third factor favors denying a stay.
Nonetheless, Plaintiff's patent infringement claims are affected by reexamination, and reexamination would benefit the Court when resolving those claims. "Without a stay, litigation is likely to be duplicative, especially considering that any claims that are cancelled by the PTO will not have to be litigated at all." DJO, LLC v. VitalWear, Inc., 2010 WL 4065633, at *2 (S.D. Cal. October 15, 2010). Even if no claims are invalidated, the Court would still benefit from the USPTO's expertise in having reviewed whatever prior art is presented during reexamination. See id. On the patent claims, the third factor favors granting a stay.
After balancing the factors, the Court GRANTS DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STAY as to the five patent infringement claims. (Doc. No. 37.) This action is STAYED as to claims 1--5 of Plaintiff's first amended complaint. Although delay may negatively affect the evidence, the Court finds that the benefit of reexamination and the early stage of litigation ultimately favors granting a stay on the patent claims. The Court DENIES DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STAY as to claims 6--8. (Id.) Patent reexamination does not affect these claims. And finally, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's ex parte motion for leave to file sur-reply in support of the motion to stay. (Doc. No. 59.) This matter has been sufficiently briefed.

The Photo & Artz Works Gallery
Culburra Beach NSW
Gallery owner and Director Noel Elliot established a photo and art gallery in February of 2006 in Culburra Beach, NSW. The gallery exhibits some of his own work, photography and art, and he also supports new and emerging artists.
A few weeks ago after meeting each other at a Redbubble lunch (organised by Rose Moxon), he invited me to exhibit some of my works, 2 of which now hang in his boutique style gallery.
This afternoon he called with some very exciting news, that my large work Beneath Blue Mountain Gums - A Contemporary Piece had been sold.
Many thanks to you Noel for giving me this wonderful opportunity to exhibit my work.
I am thrilled for us both and am delighted this piece, has made its way to the home it was meant to be in. It's the ultimate validation - you cannot put a price on this kind of satisfaction - it's awesome!
What a fantastic start to 2009!
Had better get some more paintings to you Noel and sincere apologies if i have caused any hearing impairment. (((hugs))) perugina

i so wanted to finish this before the seasonal festivities.
I am entering the
CASS - Combined Art Societies of Sydney
The 'Art of Sydney' Awards
and today is the day my entries are due.
So i have been working under pressure to get this finished, having done so 'in the nick of time' this morning.
i took a photo of this classic Jag earlier in the year, it's just rusting away in our neighbourhood street much to my horror!
I thought it would make a great picture to accompany a letter i wrote to a friend a while ago titled,
'life is a bitumen road
people are the cars'
Wanting to give a car a go, (my brother would be proud as there is no bigger petrol head than he living on the planet) i thought there was no better one to try than this.
Using masking fluid i wrote, more like scrawled, those words over the top before painting.
Let me say writing with this stuff isn't easy and it had its challenges.
i have submitted 6 paintings which i hope will be selected to feature in this annual exhibition.

...I will take you to foggy London town because you are my gentleman.
Teh Barfs. I've had enough. There has been so much barfing in this house, I stopped caring LONG ago when the dogs got to it first. Whatever. Lick it up. See if I care seeing how I've only slept like 15 damn minutes. Zofia was a boogerbarf fountain yesterday then Athena joined her around midnight. When Athena says "NO SCHOOL!" I know shit got real. Especially since she was so excited about the food drive she participated in to help people in our community AND to earn the ability to wear jeans to school for the day.
Even with all the OCD Terror Threat Level: RED barfing happening, I still got my contribution to the school bake sales, visited Athena at school, and made it to the polls. I'm beginning to feel like this disease isn't bigger than me anymore. I never thought this would happen. I should send my psychiatrist flowers.
Today I'm moving forward and it actually has nothing to do with Obama.

Rolling in on thecacophonous curls of "Yadnik", battering the shore like the after-FX trails of the still-crashing soundwaves of Flying Saucer Attack's Rural Psychedelia, Kemper Norton's third full-length album slips in from the sea like a summer storm heavy with stories to be told. Settled firmly within a tradition of recent decades that encompasses the esoteric murmurations of both Coil 's outré electronica and the noisy folkishness of Current 93, together with the psychedelic freefall imaginings of fellow West Country freaks like Urthona and IX Tab, Kemper Norton has been proving that there's none so wyrd as folkies with FX pedals and a head full of interconnects. His music is plugged in at once to the past, present and future of music, mythology and magic(k), hurrying on sundown in a hauntological haze both real and imagined.The lusciously ethereal drones and skirls of "The Town" is one of Kemper Norton's finest vocal moments to date, singing of lost Lyonesse and minstrelry in the streets over a delicate turn and turnabout of melody and melancholy. This is one of those moments which demand that the listener stop and lean back into the apparently slight gentility of its swooning timbres, and feel the ages and aeons stripped away before the ears.
Kemper Norton's explorations of historical as much as a spiritual or mythological themes through music finds him once again sharing similar headspace to the equally remarkable Australian group The Doomed Bird of Providence — whose music he reworked on To Mahina. There's a similar sense of earnest commitment to keeping the past alive in the present here too, untold tales of the sea and ships receiving an eerie airing. On "Sirens", the titular voices can be discerned calling from afar, deep in the rippling waves, weird and unreal, luring the Torrey Canyon to its doom on Seven Stones reef 49 years ago. There the supertanker spilled millions upon millions of litres of crude oil along the Cornish coast, an environmental disaster — one whose after-effects remain today — explored further in the mournful "gift from the summer of love" of "Black Silk".Holding up a central pole of the album, the throbbing, almost AFX-like fauxgiridoo of "Agnes and Louisa", placed among the three instrumental episodes of "Seven Stones" and forming an ever-rotating core around which the album gyrates, the twinkling electronic glitches foaming and refolding as a heartworm thrum burns brightly with the spiral of life itself. It seems that there are voices present in the gyre too, Lyonesse's machine elves chattering, gremlins at work with their perpetual ritual music as they set about unhanding the works of humanity. Perhaps these are the relentless forces of nature mocking the hubris that supposes that filling a supertanker with vast quantities of a product whose burning will do long-term environmental harm is a safe thing to do — Oopsie, did it spill? There's going to be a bit of a mess to clean up now, isn't there? Toll can be deceptively gentle, like the Atlantic which took the Torrey Canyon and dashed it on Cornwall's rocks, elegiac and full of a sense of place and time that never descends into kitsch jingoism, real ale nostalgia or fey tales of the faeries. What Kemper Norton has done on these twelve pieces is to firmly place himself with and without a tradition of centuries, where the electric sound of fuzz and analogue pulsations are as much folk instruments to accompany the ballads that can tell to future generations of the dramas and dreams of the sea and its liminal places.

Eyespy: January 2010
Bringing you the latest quirky medical stories from around the world
Mummies' arteries—Heart disease and stroke are thought to be mainly modern diseases of the West, but the ancient Egyptians experienced them too, an international research team reports (JAMA 2009;302:2091-4). Computed tomograms were performed on mummies that lived more than three millenniums ago, and evidence of advanced atherosclerosis was shown. Of the 20 mummies studied, nine were identified as having calcified arteries, and some showed hardening of arteries. These Egyptians would have been of high socioeconomic class and, rather than chips, chocolate, and burgers, would more likely have indulged on cattle, ducks, and geese.
Long monogamy—Faithful long term relationships seem to reap more benefits than just having a recently committed partner, say scientists from New Zealand in the Journal of Reproductive Immunology (2009;82:66-73). The research found that first time mothers who have been with a longer term partner are less likely to have a small baby or develop pre-eclampsia than first
