Genre: Love, Romance, Fiction, Family Saga
Amazon Special Customer Review: Exceptionally well written, about a family in the 1800s, exciting, charismatic, immaculate detailed informative story!!
This story is an exciting period story, set in the late 1800s about a well-off family, there is Agnes & Ralph, two rather stoic parents, their son Clarence, and their daughter Isabella (Issy). Most of this is Issy relating the story, which I found heart-warming and one part in particular when she was remembering specific games they played as children, made me smile as I too had played the same games as a child.
It is a kind of coming-of-age tale, exceedingly well written, full of historical information with splendid attention to detail throughout the book.
Colorful characters, and the insight into the differences between well-off children and poor children, how the parents did not want their children mixing with each other. The children sneaking to meet each other to enjoy playing and having fun together. Rich kids tended to be snooty and aloof, so Izzy and her brother preferred to play with the poor kids, who were much more fun, more mischievous too.
The author has written an excellent book, with such finesse and attention to detail, which is very impressive.
In keeping with those times, Agnes and Ralph are very religious, and after the birth of both children, Agnes feels that her duty is done, and sex is off the menu. This, of course, leads to clandestine meetings between Ralph and one of his employees named Rose. Here we get a bit of romance thrown in but it does appear in other parts when the children's grandmother recounts her youth and her romantic liaisons.
Issy is a very kind, caring and giving person, she likes to help others, it's just her nature, where her brother Clarence is more inclined to look out for himself, he likes to be number 1.
The story has a lot of twists, turns, and surprises. It grips you from the start, those who love historical things will love this, but those who do not will not be put off the story as it is expertly placed within the story so much so that everything is believable and realistic. You almost feel transported back in time.

The Liberty Bodice – by Joy M. Lilley
Gloria Harris is born in Market Harborough in the United Kingdom, in 1922. She spends the first few years of life living with her parents and grandfather. Her siblings, an older sister and twin brothers, also share the household. The relationship between Gloria and her mother is strained much of the time.
The early days of her life are spent in considerable poverty, so much so that Gloria and her sister are sent away to Northern Ireland to be with their aunt and uncle, who are more affluent than their parents, due to the improving circumstances for the farming community in Ireland. Her aunt and uncle have a smallholding and keep a few animals and poultry that provide them with eggs and milk: the land produces enough fresh vegetables for themselves and for sale at the local market. Gloria and her sister Ann are made to work hard during this time, helping out on the farm and with the household chores. Their aunt and uncle have no children and are not particularly kind to the girls. The sisters have to stay in Ireland much longer than they had been led to believe they would, and it is several years before they come home.
On their return to Market Harborough they discover that their brothers have both been in considerable trouble, one having made a girl pregnant and the other having stolen from his employer. Gloria realises that these circumstances were part of the reason why the girls had to stay away for so long.
At the age of sixteen Gloria is sent to France on a student exchange, where she stays in Nancy with the well-to-do family of Chantelle Valvoire, whom she befriends. Gloria has a penchant for languages and these talents are vastly enhanced during this period, when she speaks almost exclusively in French. She also loses her virginity to a dashing Frenchman and is terrified of pregnancy, but after she returns home, to her great relief, the putative pregnancy comes to an end. As a result of this experience she vows to have nothing more to do with men until she is older. This resolve soon weakens when she meets Geoffrey, a school teacher from London whom she encounters on the journey back from France. Once home, Gloria practices her love of languages in some form or another on most days, regularly enjoying conversing with her sister's Dutch boyfriend, who helps and encourage her linguistic achievements. He teaches French and German at the school she attended.
The Second World War begins and Gloria does her bit for the war effort by working on the land after leaving school. But she is restless, anxious to play a much more active role in fighting for her country. After hearing an appeal from the Home Office for foreign language experts to work abroad, she finds out all she can about joining the Special Operations Executive (SOE). After some considerable time, she secures an interview to join what became known as 'Churchill's secret army: the S.O.E. Her family are horrified at what their youngest daughter is letting herself in for and try their best to dissuade her, unsuccessfully.
After going through the rigid and arduous training to become an S.O.E. officer, she is sent into occupied France, where she is involved in a number of successful missions. Eventually she is captured by the Gestapo and sent to Fresnes prison in Paris, then on to the notorious Dachau Concentration Camp. In both places she is treated appallingly, being starved and tortured, and to avoid the likelihood of her inevitable death, she hatches a plan of escape. After doing so she has many trials and tribulations, after which she finally meets the brave Résistance leader and accomplished navigator, Sabien. He acts as guide for Gloria and some other stragglers through war-torn France and helps them back to England. Her feelings for him gradually turn from hate to love and they marry on the journey home. Sabien is subsequently summoned to the Normandy beaches to do vital Resistance tasks, and they part company until sometime later, when all hell is let loose.

Today for my super scribe post i am doing Improper fractions and it a really easy to understand and i think you can now this in seconds.
The definition of an improper fraction is :A fraction with a numerator that is greater than the denominator
For example 15\3. As you see the numerator is higher then the denominator which denominator is the bottom number and numerator is the top. Now you can convert improper fractions to mixed fraction. A mixed fraction is a number written as a whole number and a fraction.
Now i am going to give you a question about improper fractions that we mosly learned about
so the question is 25\5 covert that to a mixed number awnsers on the bottom
Awnsers : well 5 goes in 25 5 times so The whole is 5 and the rest remaining is 0 ill show u a picture to understand a little bit more but if u got this right your all ready to have a test with improper fractions.
there eacth divide in 5 lines so I hope u under stood and i hope i made no mistakes till now Every one have a super day !!!!!

When you think you've seen it all, people will prove you wrong. This is not your ordinary 1932 Ford Coupe custom build, this baby is powered a Ferrari Twin Turbo V8. Built by Alan Lee Designs and Vintage Flats, it was first show to the world in the 2015 SEMA car show.
At first glance it may seem like your 1932 Ford Coupe with its 3 window fiberglass shell until people looked closely that they are flabbergasted to see a Ferrari V8 engine. Instantly it attracted attention at the 2015 SEMA.
The 3.0 liter V8 engine was taken from a broken Lancia Thema 8.32. The engine is similar as the engines installed in Ferrari 308s and Ferrari Quaatrovalvoles but it has a cross-plane crank, smaller valves, and a completely different firing order. Although the engine was working during the SEMA 2015, the Ford Ferrari hybrid was still not complete. It will be later fitted with two T4 type Turbonetics Turbocharger to complete the build. The Turbochargers will be mounted on the front bumpers which is unusual but will probably look awesome. It is expected to be up and running this 2016 so watch out for it! The Ferrari Twin Turbo V8 engine is expected to fire up to 800 hp, this will indeed be a very hot ride.
They used shell body of a 1932 Ford Coupe and assembled a whole frame with black all-round suspension from scratch. After the shell was done patching up, it was repainted with the Ferrari trademark red. The wheels are all custom built with slick race tires. The brakes have been drilled and ventilated. There is still a lot of work for Alan Lee and his team, they need to make sure that the body can handle the raw power of the Turbo charged V8 engine.
This Turbo charged ride beats all other Turbo charged hot rods, a one of a kind hot rod. A build that took a lot of creativity and hard work from Alan Lee Designs and Vintage Flatz.
The irony of this build is that Ford and Ferrari have been longtime rivals in the racetrack, pitting each other's cars in several races every year.
This build is really something you don't expect to show up but this isn't really the first Ford Ferrari combo. The first one was made from a ford roadster body with a Ferrari 330 hp V12 engine. It was the legendary "Duecari" built by Dick "Magoo" Megugorac in the 1970s. Magoo used a Deuce Roadster body and a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 engine. Similar to Alan Lee's Ford Ferrari Hybrid, the Duecari had a Ferrari theme. Also painted with the trademark Ferrari red. It had a max speed of 105 mph.
For now we can only speculate power of Alan Lee's Ferrari Ford Roadster until it is completely finished.

KISSIMMEE -- They brought fame and fortune to Davy Crockett hats, the Hula Hoop, rock `n` roll and the twist, a preoccupation with fitness, and now they`re getting involved in politics.
They`re known as the baby boomers, the population explosion that began at the end of World War II and whose members are turning 40 this year. By dint of their sheer numbers alone, both major parties are wooing them. The Republican Party thinks it has the inside track, and one of the generation`s own agrees.
Lee Atwater, chairman of the GOP`s Fund for America`s Future and whiz kid political consultant, told delegates to the state 1986 Grassroots Convention on Saturday that the party had gotten the ``lion`s share`` of the baby boomer vote in 1984 and has ``an excellent shot`` to do it again this year.
``But we can`t rest on our laurels,`` warned Atwater, campaign strategist for congressmen and the 1984 Reagan-Bush presidential ticket.
According to some figures, 25-to-40-year-old voters number as many as 75 million. Atwater said this voting bloc, which accounts for 60 percent of the electorate, has long been at the center of American culture.
Born in 1951, the baby boomers, which he called ``the bulge in the pipeline,`` always have been courted, first as children by those marketing Crockett hats through television in the 1950s, Atwater said.
As teenagers in the 1960s, they bought Hula Hoops, did the twist, loved rock `n` roll and tried to deal with college, the Vietnam War and the assassination of a president.
Unlike previous generations, which had experienced the Depression and World War II, this group had the benefit of more education and more leisure time, and saw the advent of women into the work force.
And now that the group is ready for politics, it`s no secret that a lot of the political messages are aimed at them, Atwater told participants at one of several seminars held during the day.

I'm doing remote debugging regularly thanks to Visual Studio 2010's msvsmon tool. I used to set the timeout to zero in the options screen, as I just want the tool to keep running until I'm done with it:
This works fine, but I grew tired of doing this everyday and I'm trying to do it from a script, using the appropriate command line switch:
msvsmon.exe /timeout:0
But no cigar:
I can work around this by setting a ridiculously long timeout, but I'm just checking: is there a proper way to disable this timeout from the command line? Or maybe with a registry key?

Historically, China's water policy has focused on flood control and as a result the country has an extensive system of river dikes and reservoirs that extend over 270,000 km and 85,000 km respectively. China's broader mandate to protect the environment only entered the country's constitution in the early seventies1 and water conservation only appeared on the policy agenda relatively recently, with specific water resource legislation making it to the statute books in the early eighties. Since then, and as China's water crisis deepens, water management, including water conservation, has received increasing attention in PRC government policy.
With the introduction of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution in 1984 and the Water Law in 2002, China established regulatory control for the prevention and control of fresh water pollution and use of its water resources. In particular, 2008 was a landmark year for China's water management with significant revision of the Law on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and introduction of the Measures for Opening the Environmental Information (Trial). The Water Law strengthens the existing Law and amongst other measures provide for: tougher penalties for polluters; a discharge permitting system; citizens to bring class action suits against polluters; improved standards; increased transparency; and penalties for inadequate government enforcement. The new Measures on Environmental Information are also an important move toward improving transparency through mandating the disclosure of environmental information and providing for public participation. This is an area of which Pan Yue (MEP's Vice Minister) has been an ardent supporter. Also in 2008, the government's institutional restructuring saw the establishment of five 'super ministries' to reduce overlapping responsibilities among existing government agencies. This included the elevation of the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) to ministerial status – the Ministry of Environmental Protection – demonstrating, as noted by China scholars,2 both strong political will and greater commitment of China's central government to environmental protection.
This section provides a summary of the key legislative and regulatory developments that impact water-related issues in China, as well as those that are of relevance to the business and investor communities. China and legal scholars2 have as a matter of course provided much commentary and analysis on the issues highlighted in the following pages and reference has been made to these throughout the text for further reading.

California L'œuf
Dear All,
The truth of California is hiding under Jason Mraz's fedora.
Dear 1st Stick Shift Ever,
Yeah, I feel so much more bad-ass now- $850/replacement clutch kind of bad-ass.
Dear Strange Sex Subjects,
I am always weary when you have pets.
Dear Acutane,
I will sell that cone baby. If you think I don't have interested buyers, then you don't know about Craigslist.
Dear LA,
I would take back those hours I've wasted trapped on the freeway, even if they came back as hours spent talking to Kirk Douglas.
Dear TV,
More shows on the subject of Hoarding, please. Here are a few ideas I'm pitching, if I may:
"Towel Hoarders: Too clean"
"Sunglasses Hoarders: Blinded"
"Kid Hoarders: Damn, we got way too many kids"
"Hungry Hungry Hoarders: Too hungry to hoard"
"Ikea Hoarders: This shit is mad cheap, son!"
Dear Mom,
No more "enter-to-wins." Your repeated failure is causing us to doubt your ability to provide, subsequently tearing this family apart.
Dear LA and NY,
Car flirting is harder and more skill-based than train flirting. Try the whole "just happened to be spacing out on a hottie" in a car... you will crash and die, and so will they.... so will they.
Dear Sucky Life,
Sorry, no suicide this week, I have two heavily anticipated Netflix coming in the mail.
Dear Sucky Life,
If you put cookies in the freezer, they make a nice frozen treat. It's cool cause... they're normally room temperature, but it's fun to eat them cold you know?
Dear Vegas,
I have no desire to go to Vegas.
Dear Rihanna,
Stop yelling at me.
Dear Rihanna,
It's Rihanna.
Dear Reader,
Time for my annual drive across the country, or as I like to call it "Cinnabon Tour."
Dear Jesus,
First to be apologized to after incarceration AND first to be thanked after an Oscar win. You wear so many hats!
Dear God,
1. Would I have to commit a crime to find you?
2. If so, how heinous a crime?
Dear Natalie Portman,
You were really great in Black Swan. Your portrayal of a woman giving an Oscar-worthy performance was riveting.
Dear Boyfriend,
When we moved in together I thought we'd have sex day-in and day-out. It feels more like day-out and day-in, and that's just not what I signed up for.
Dear Friend,
I need to throw something away, I looked under the sink but I didn't find a trash can. You keep your trash can out, next to the fridge? The trash can in my house is under the sink, in front of the wine.
Dear Condoms,

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: These cookies are very much a case of "go big or go home" – in addition to a generous helping of chopped crispy bacon, these cookies are also made with browned butter and brown sugar, giving them a butterscotch flavour which goes incredibly well with the salty bacon. And although I reduced the sugar quite a bit, any health benefit this might have had is obliterated by the handful of chocolate chips I added and the blood pressure-raising sea salt I scattered on top of the cookies before baking. —Sophia R
Makes: 2 dozen cookies
gram bacon
gram butter
gram caster sugar
gram brown sugar
medium eggs
gram all purpose flour
teaspoon baking powder
gram dark chocolate
teaspoon sea salt
- Fry the diced bacon in a dry frying pan on medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels and let the bacon come to room temperature before mixing in with the other ingredients.
- Warm the butter in a small pan on medium heat until the butter smells nutty and is golden in colour. Set aside and leave till the butter solidifies again.
- To make the cookies, start by creaming the butter together with the two types of sugar – this should take ca. 5 minutes.
- Add the 2 eggs, one after another, making sure the first egg is well incorporated before you mix in the second egg.
- Mix the baking powder with the flour and combine with the butter-egg-sugar mix.
- Mix in the diced bacon and the chopped chocolate.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 36 hours.
- When ready to bake the cookies, pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees. Place drops of dough the size of 2 tablespoons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between the cookies as they will spread in the oven. Flatten the dough with a spoon and sprinkle some sea salt on each cookie. Bake cookies for ca. 12 minutes.

Slides from Zurich talk are now posted
I have now posted slides for the talk I gave in Zurich last week in MySQL Performance Presentations section.
That was fun talk and fun trip in general. Thank you for inviting.
6 Comments
And many thanks for doing it – learnt a lot. A video should be turning up eventually in the near future – will let you know.
The video is posted: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2461636755789321382
Hi, I've read the slides and have some questions about the LIMIT.
As you said in "More about LIMIT":
Protect your application from large limits
– People may not go to page 500 but search engine bots
well may do.
If I really need to do "select a,b,c from table where key='val' limit 1000,10" for paging, is there any way to avoid slow query?
Hi Peter,
Although I think I understand the performance issue of using large limits, I don't completely understand the solution you propose.. I think I have read about this somewhere.. cant really recall.. it will be great if you can shed some more light on your solution
Hello Peter,
thank you for posting the slides !

Grading the Bears: Week 1
Game Ball Tim Jennings
The Bears' cornerback said after the game that he spent a lot of time in training camp working to improve his ball-catching skills, and boy did it pay off Sunday. Jennings finished with a pair of interceptions and added a deflection that led to a third INT.
Quarterback 3 balls
Jay Cutler got off to the rockiest of starts, including an INT that was returned for a Colts TD early in the first quarter, but he eventually found his groove in a big way as he consistently hooked up with old pal Brandon Marshall (9 catches). Cutler rallied to finish the day 21-for-35 for 333 yards and a pair of TDs.
Running back 4 balls
Lost in the elation over the fact that the Bears now have a legitimate receiving corps is the fact they have quite a potent 1-2 rushing attack with Matt Forte and Michael Bush. Forte rushed for 80 yards and a TD, and added a highlight-reel one-handed catch for good measure. Bush scored twice from close range and gained 42 yards on 12 carries.
Wide receiver 4 balls
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a true No. 1 receiver. Brandon Marshall toyed with the Indianapolis secondary all day en route to 9 catches and a TD. He could've been in double-digit receptions, but he dropped a couple along the way. Rookie Alshon Jeffrey hauled in a 42-yarder for a TD and Earl Bennett was clutch as usual with 3 catches for 50 yards.
Offensive line 3 balls
Admit it, the way the game started, you had to be thinking "Here we go again."
Well, as it turned out, that wasn't the case. Things improved for the unit as the game progressed. It probably didn't hurt the cause that Colts star Dwight Freeney left the game early with a ankle injury, but hey, that's football.
Defensive line 2.5 balls
Big day for Henry Melton with a pair of sacks and 3 tackles for loss. Julius Peppers recorded 3 solo tackles and rookie Shea McLellin was credited with a nice spin move on a pass rush but registered nada in the tackles department. Northwestern product Corey Wooten also finished with a sack.
Linebackers 2 balls
Very quiet day for this unit. Nick Roach led the way with 3 tackles and Lance Briggs added a pair. Brian Urlacher wasn't noticeable in the opening half and rested his knee in the second half as the game got out of hand.
Defensive backs 3.5
Even though Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck threw for over 300 yards and Reggie Wayne caught 9 passes, it was the Bears' secondary that stole the show -- literally. Jennings led the way with 2 interceptions and 4 tackles. Chris Conte added another pick and 4 tackles, while Major Wright and Kelvin Hayden led the defense with 7 tackles apiece. Charles Tillman left the game with a lower leg injury.
Coaching 3.5 balls
An explosive offense and a bend-but-don't-break defense proved a winning formula against Indianapolis. Still, they probably need to tighten things up before meeting the Pack on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.


text: 14 September 2010As you may know already, here at The Harley Medical Group we're passionate about making sure cosmetic treatments and cosmetic surgeries are only carried out by skilled professionals. Unfortunately, here in the UK we've seen and heard plenty of examples of people being put at risk by unqualified practitioners. The good news is that this is beginning to change and we're very happy to have been included on the IHAS Register of Injectable Cosmetic Providers!What does this mean? That you can trust we've been awarded a Quality Mark for meeting professional standards for injectable treatments in the UK. Under the new standards, only doctors, dentists and registered nurses are permitted to carry out treatments like Botox and dermal fillers, which is music to our ears, let me tell you. Here at Harley Medical, our qualified surgeons and nurses are a real point of pride and it's great to see our hard work rewarded. However, what's even better is the fact that this qualifying mark is a UK wide regulation scheme. This means that IHAS will make it easy for you to immediately know whether surgeons and clinics meet the standards of the regulations - or not. In the right hands, treatments such as Botox are a safe and effective way to treat wrinkles, but the last thing you want to do is trust a needle to someone without proper training. So what should you do when choosing non surgical treatments such as fillers and injectable line and wrinkle treatments? Look out for the IHAS quality mark!

Edward Pols: A Continuing Education
Remembrance of Things to Come, a book of poetry by the late Edward Pols, who taught at Bowdoin from 1949 until 1988, weaves universal themes of love, loss, joy and longing into biographical perspective into the deep waters of philosophy and war.
In 2001, the building at #5 Bath Road, having been refurbished as a home for the Philosophy Department, was officially re-named Edward Pols House. I attended the dedication ceremony, which featured speeches by colleagues and former students. These mentioned Ed Pols' impressive list of accomplishments, but they chiefly consisted of affectionate reminiscence, seasoned by a good deal of more or less awkward humor. Bowdoin is an informal community, and insists on the familiar, day-to-day perspective, a humanizing and sometimes a trivializing of those whom we honor.
During the ceremony, I watched Ed, wondered what he made of all this, and thought about him. I'd met him within a week or so of my first arrival at the college, in the fall of 1968. In some way that I could not define but that registered strongly, he impressed me as an extraordinary man. Over the years, the impression only deepened, to such an extent that, despite the bantering collegiality that pervaded Massachusetts Hall (during all of his career and most of mine the home to both the English and Philosophy Departments) during my formative years there, and despite his own great cordiality, I never got over a certain anxious abashedness in his presence. Something in him inhibited one's normal human impulse, which I do not lack, to whittle things down to one's own size.
The college must have shared something of my feeling. This business of naming a building after him was not the first extraordinary honor it had conferred on its senior philosopher. In 1975, with his most important professional publications and recognitions still ahead of him, he had been named to the new and highly prestigious Kenan Professorship of the Humanities. That honor, like this one, seemed almost inevitable, a no-brainer. No one had more fully embodied and illuminated the humanities than he, just as no one had been so central in developing, shaping, and bringing distinction to the study of philosophy at Bowdoin.
But in the long run, such honors only indicate how a man or woman was regarded; they are strictly nominal, preserving the bare name of the person so honored. Every day, like every other member of the Bowdoin community, I went in and out of buildings that illustrated this point: Sills, Searles, Moulton Union, Coles Tower. Even when I had some slight notion of who Sills, Coles, et al. were, I never thought of them, any more than I thought of Woden on Wednesday or Thor on Thursday. All of us in the room that day could be sure that "Pols" would soon signify, for an ever-increasing majority of people on campus, an agreeable, home-like building at #5 Bath Road, and nothing more.
The college has now recognized and memorialized Ed Pols in a third way, one that involves no fanfare (unless this essay be considered such) but that gives to me, and I trust to others, an unqualified, happy sense of appropriateness. It has published a collection of his poems, Remembrance of Things to Come. They are what I want to talk about now.
I have an imperfect knowledge of the almost invisible and, with one exception, apparently belated poetic career of Ed Pols. Prior to his retirement in 1988, I never heard him speak of himself as a poet, although a senior colleague in the English Department did tell me that Ed had written a poem about John Kennedy immediately after J.F.K.'s assassination in 1963. "A damn good poem, too," he said. It was a concession he did not enjoy making. Those of us in English found Ed's academic work so austere, so highly technical and intimidating that it perhaps seemed unfair to my colleague that he was also favored by the muses. I myself never saw the poem and, because of the diffidence I have mentioned, did not feel comfortable in asking Ed about it.
Except for the Kennedy poem, the other poems in Remembrance of Things to Come appear to have been completed in the years after his retirement, although his papers suggest that many of them had had a long gestation-decades long, in some cases. But in their final form, all of them are the work of a man in his seventies and earlier eighties. He had more reason than most of us will to feel that he might rest on his labors and his honors; furthermore, he had to deal, through most of his retirement, with his wife's long, difficult, and demanding illness. And he continued to be what he had always been, a productive philosopher. He published two books during these last years; one of them, Radical Realism (1992) was singled out for special recognition by the American Metaphysical Society. The manuscript of a third, On Rational Agency, was completed just weeks before his death, in August of 2005.
And yet he found time to write poems and to publish eight of them in literary quarterlies. As anyone who has tried to publish poetry knows, that in itself is no small accomplishment, particularly given the prominence of the quarterlies (The Massachusetts Review, The Sewanee Review) on the one hand, and his disconnectedness from the fragmented, factional, insider's world of poets and poetry editors on the other.
I was aware of these poems because, shortly after his retirement, we had begun occasionally exchanging work with each other—his poems for my essays. I found myself to be qualified as a reader of his work, in the sense that I recognized their provenance and "got" most of their allusions. The influence of high modernism, particularly T.S. Eliot, was pervasive, and that influence had shaped and informed my own literary education and tastes. Beyond that, the poems fleetingly echoed or evoked poets whose works were once the shared inheritance of all English majors: Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Keats, Frost, and (second only to Eliot, and in less obvious ways, as decisive an influence) Yeats.
I liked, and more than liked, the poems, and for reasons that had nothing to do with their pedigree. What I admired, in one poem after another, was how cogently, compactly, and beautifully they managed the difficult task of thinking in verse; and how the decorous intensity of their idiom translated, into the medium of the written word (lifeless in one sense; deathless in another) the seriousness, dignity, and grace I had always found in him.
Read Poems from Remembrance of Things to Come
He put Remembrance of Things to Come together in the last year of his life. I saw successive drafts of it. It contained twenty-one poems in all, ten of them constituting a connected sequence of vignettes, "War's End, World's End." The sequence spans a little more than a year of his life-May, 1944, a month before D-Day, to July, 1945, when the last allied troops, Lieutenant Edward Pols among them, withdrew from eastern Germany and the Iron Curtain descended.
At the beginning of the sequence, which concludes the volume and which is an important, powerful thing, he addresses the young soldier he had been:
Make your wide prospect once again my own
And hide the straitened one I now must bear.
Throughout the poems that follow, the young soldier is "he," "the young man in American uniform," or simply "the young man," as though his essential self were beyond recovery. And yet this distancing of that man, even as it makes him anonymous, paradoxically seems to abolish the years between Professor Pols and Lieutenant Pols. The third person narrative has the immediacy of a novel within its retrospection. The anonymity of the protagonist places the emphasis less on the private hazards of war, and more on an enveloping action—the victory that was coming, and the irreparable losses-individual and cultural, material and spiritual-that were inseparable from it.
This sense of a separation between the man who writes, now in the final approaches to death, and the actual occasions of the poems—a boyhood outing; a sabbatical year outside Florence, thirty years earlier (the subject of three poems, and clearly a time of an unlooked-for inward awakening)—is not confined to the war sequence. It runs throughout the volume. It is easier to say what the tone is not than what it is. It is not bitter; it is not nostalgic; it does not glorify or regret the man he was. The war sequence is deeply somber; the Tuscan poems are full of the joy of an uncanny recognition, as though he had discovered, without intending to, a homeland that he had previously known only through intimations and longings.
I have now read the poems through a good many times, and have found myself thinking more and more about their ordering in the book. It is not chronological, either in terms of the composition of the poems or of the experiences they describe. The effect is musical, and it is complex. I can only quote from the "Leaving Leipzig," the last, magnificent poem in the war sequence and thus in the volume as a whole:
such unity of song
we cannot even give one quality
a single name, for its exulting is
a grieving and its grieving an accepting.
In the past year, Elizabeth Pols, Ed's daughter; George Core, the editor of The Sewanee Review, and I have occupied ourselves with getting Remembrance of Things to Come into print. It was George who, knowing that ordinary commercial publication would be virtually impossible, suggested that the college act as a publisher. I took that suggestion to President Mills, and he responded as wholeheartedly and unhesitatingly as any of us could have wished. Elizabeth, having a career's worth of familiarity with such matters, has designed the book and overseen its printing. I have provided an introduction to it. And so now it exists.
Many alumni—those who graduated twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty years ago—will have an interest in these poems that begins with their memories of the man himself. The same is true of those of us who were his colleagues. But memory, personal acquaintance, and some connection to Bowdoin are not necessary for one to feel the power of this work. After all, George Core at The Sewanee Review knew Ed Pols only through some poems that came, among hundreds of others, across his desk. He not only published several of these, and not only published, after Ed's death, a fine poetic memorial to him by Denis Corish, who succeeded him as the senior member of Bowdoin's Philosophy Department; he also was unflagging in his determination to see Remembrance of Things to Come into print, and did so. He did this not for the sake of Pols, but for the sake of poetry.
When I wrote the introduction to the collection, I attempted, in good English professor fashion, to emphasize a theme that seemed to me central, giving the collection its impressive coherence. I think that for the audience of this magazine—almost exclusively people who are or have been members of the Bowdoin community—and particularly for those who are currently undergraduates or recent graduates, I would emphasize something different, something closer to what we are, in our more serious moments, about. The poems say a great deal and they exemplify a great deal about the uses of education, of knowledge as augmented by experience, and experience as augmented by knowledge. Throughout them, a deeply and broadly learned man does not speak with the authority of his accomplishments, or with the other kind of authority that came from his experience of war, travel, long life, and the looming fact of death. He speaks instead as one for whom the questing mind and spirit do not lead to any final attainment, achievement, or resting-place. It is the role of the student, not the professor, that seems to have kept his imagination alive, and to have allowed it this final, rich expression. He did not confuse the acuity of his wonderfully honed and tempered intelligence with a reduced vulnerability to the brute facts of experience, or to its joy; and he did not consider that the brutality of the facts or spontaneity of joy excluded them from lyric deliberation. In one of the Tuscan poems, he concludes wryly that
the only house worth owning is
the house that's not your own.
The value of the Humanities has never been self-evident, and it has come under particularly hostile interrogation in recent decades. The question is whether literature, and the arts in general, conceal or reveal, constrict or liberate, give us something that can be claimed as a kind of truth, or only mask the prejudices of Power and the prerogatives it claims for itself. Ed Pols would certainly have asserted that they reveal and liberate, that their claims are neither false nor dispensable. But assertion, even in the scrupulously exact, almost legalistic language of academic philosophy, can scarcely amount to proof. To assess that value, we must consider particular cases, and make up our minds. These poems do not tell us what conclusion we should reach; they simply give us, in a highly concentrated form, the evidence of an education that encountered (as educations always do) realities it never envisioned, and sought to give them form, meaning, and permanence. In several of the poems he speaks of how reading, study, and contemplation, for himself and for others, leads to imitation, and imitation becomes something else—a metabolizing that
Shall give you back surprised
Your very self.
He was a husband, then a soldier, then a scholar, a father, and a man much honored by his college and his profession. And then a poet. He did not assume this last role lightly. The poems that he left us face the erosions of age and the immanence of death squarely. They are not an afterthought or a gesture of farewell. They culminate and distill a life that was utterly exemplary for its wholeness and steadiness, its accountability and its responsiveness.

Aliyah Ritual
An aliyah, honoring the Torah with your blessing when the Torah is read in synagogue, is always an honor. If selected, you'll want to fulfill this mitzvah (commandment) with dignity, both out of respect for God and Torah, and out of respect for the congregation. Therefore, if the blessing is not familiar to you, it is important to gain familiarity with the ritual of the aliyah and practice reciting the blessing aloud prior to the occasion. Here you will find a complete description to help you. Please keep in mind that there are variations in custom in different congregations, and it is appropriate to follow minhag ha-makom (the custom of the place in which you are).
What is an "Aliyah?"
A person who is called up to bless the Torah is said have been granted an aliyah. The word " aliyah " is the same word that is used to describe a person who emigrates to Israel ("making aliyah"). Generally, the word means "to ascend." Emigrating to Israel, and being called up to bless the Torah, are similarly considered to be "elevating acts," or acts of ascension. It is customary at Temple Beth Torah to wear a Talit (prayer shawl) when called to the Torah.
What to do if you are honored with an "Aliyah?"
If you are a guest at a bar or bat mitzvah , you will have been informed in advance that you are to be honored with an aliyah . Very likely, you will have been asked to provide your Hebrew name, so that the Cantor can call you up by that name. The Cantor will chant a brief phrase in Hebrew, ending with the words, " Ya-a-mod, (your Hebrew name), harishon ("the first," or whatever number aliyah you have been granted). There are generally seven aliyot on Shabbat morning. The Rabbi will then call you up by your English name. If you do not know your Hebrew name, or if the name has not been provided to the Cantor, you will be called up by your English name only.
Walk up the stairs on the left side (as you are facing) onto the pulpit, and stand on the bar/bat mitzvah's right. The reader will point to the place in the Torah where the reading will next commence. If you are wearing a Talit , lift a corner and touch it to the Torah in the place indicated. If you are not wearing a prayer shawl, you may use the edge of a prayer book or the wimple (Torah sash).
While the Rabbi/reader recites the Torah, it is customary (and your privilege) to hold one of the Eitz Chayim (bottom ends of the wooden rollers).
The Blessings (Audio)
Listen to or download the Torah blessings (sung by Cantor Michael Anatole of Temple Beth Torah, Ventura, CA)
The First Torah Blessing
(Honoree says) Bar'chu et a-do-nai ham'vo-rach
(The congregation chants) Ba-ruch A-do-nai ham'vo-rach l'o-lam va-ed
(Honoree repeats) Ba-ruch A-do-nai ham'vo-rach l'o-lam va-ed
(Honoree continues) Ba-ruch a-tah A-do-nai e-lo-hei-nu me-lech ha-o-lam,
A-sher ba-char ba-nu mi-kol ha-a-mim
V'na-tan la-nu et to-ra-to
Ba-ruch a-ta A-do-nai no-tein ha-to-rah.
Blessed are You, God, our God, Sovereign of Everything,
Who has chosen us from all peoples and given us Your Torah.
Blessed are You, God, who gives Torah to us.
The Torah Reading
After you have read the first blessing, the person reading the Torah, whether it is the bar/bat mitzvah candidate, the Rabbi or the Cantor, will then read some verses from the Torah. When the reading is finished, the reader will point to where he/she finished reading. Touch the Torah where the reader points, in the same way that you did before, and recite the following (second) blessing:
The Second Torah blessing
Ba-ruch a-tah a-do-nai e-lo-hei-nu me-lech ha-o-lam,
A-sher na-tan la-nu to-rat emet
V'cha-yei o-lam na-ta b'to-chei-nu
Ba-ruch a-ta a-do-nai No-tein ha-to-rah.
Blessed are You, God, our God, Sovereign of Everything,
Who has given us a true Teaching
Implanting eternal life within all that exists.
Blessed are You, God, who gives Torah to us.
After the Blessings
When you have finished saying/reciting the blessing, kiss/handshake the bar/bat mitzvah, kiss/handshake the Rabbi and Cantor, and move to the other side of the lectern (you will now be standing on the Cantor's left). Remain there throughout the next reading, and when the next honoree moves to the Cantor's left, walk back to your seats.
Congratulatory Words
It is traditional to say to Torah readers, or people receiving an honor related to the Torah, "Yesher Koach" (may your strength be firm). You may also be told, "Shabbat Shalom," or "Mazel Tov." A proper response is always "Todah Rabah" (many thanks), or if it is Shabbat, "Shabbat Shalom" (Sabbath peace).

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
Nothing could make me G half an F about St. Patrick's Day. My only memories of it are my dad making me and my brother wake up early to go to the parade on Greenville Avenue (get it?). When I was little, it had the same whimsy and magic as what I'd imagine the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has.
Over the years, as I became less of a stupid child and more of a slightly less stupid tweenager, I began to realize that the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade is just a roaming collection of the drunkest a-holes in Dallas. Like, gross drunk. Tequila out of a water gun drunk. They'd hand out gross off-brand candies and an occasional condom to the poor kids watching a dilapidated float being towed behind a blue Chevy Avalanche with a Jimmy Buffet cover band comprised of red-faced drunk dads in their early-'50s wearing bowling shirts and stupid hats.
Even though I don't know why my dad would insist on annually subjecting me to this, I should give him more credit. He actually caught a leprechaun once--Leppy--in our back yard when I was, like, 0-years-old. It was like, "GTFO and let me go!" and my Dad was all, "No way!" and so the leprechaun was like, "OK, I'll grant you a wish if you let me go," so my dad was like, "You should probably bring my kids presents every St. Patrick's Day."
So every St. Patricks day, Leppy comes and hides a present for us in the yard. And, in true a-hole style, my dad would help me and my brother make intricate leprechaun traps to catch the little jerk AGAIN! After he granted a wish and everything! Now, since Leppy's getting old and can't travel, you know, he sends us cards in the mail. With cash in them. With instructions to use on, like, food. LOL.
So that's cute, but I still hate St. Patrick's Day and despise people who think they can impose their religious beliefs onto others and freaking PINCH you if you're not wearing green. What is this, THE CRUSADES?
You're a total assclown if you do this, and there's no reasoning with assclowns, so like garlic is to vampires, or, like a gold tooth is to dweeby bar bros (details to come), here's some green eyeliner to wear so that nobody touches you innapropritely.
Sephora's doing that Pantone thing again, and this year's color happens to be "emerald" or "PANTONE 17-5641." Cool, so it's green. And they make this set of mini liquid liners, all apparently the same shade, but with a slightly different finish. Observe:
Nice right? I honestly probably won't step foot outside on Sunday. Saturday's a big day for me, though. I'm having brunch and then going to the Nike store to buy some shoes and maybe some snap-tear pants.
What are you doing this weekend?

A cop drama on TV may require tons of resources — from a huge cast and crew to sets, props and special effects — but the new theatrical drama, A Steady Rain, is an object lesson in how little is needed to tell the same story on stage. The play whittles everything down to two lead actors on a minimal set, creating a gritty police story told solely through the art of theatrical storytelling.
The show opened in Chicago in 2007 and played on Broadway in 2009 starring Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. (It's been a huge hit, with many subsequent regional productions, but the show also became mainstream news through a viral video of Jackman reacting to an audience member's phone ringing during a Broadway performance). Anyway, turn off those phones because a new production runs at the Alliance Theatre through October 11. It's not a perfect show, but it's nonetheless a finely-crafted work of theater.
A Steady Rain tells the story of two cops, Joey (Thomas Vincent Kelly) and Denny (Sal Viscuso), who, even as the play opens, are near the breaking point with all the frustrations and pressures of the job. They speak directly to the audience, narrating the accumulation of circumstances — the moral decisions and psychological attrition — that lead to a tragic outcome.
One problem with the play is that the world the characters describe — the world of tough-talking cops facing difficult decisions and reaching the breaking point and so on — feels thoroughly familiar. The play's writer and actors arrive with boatloads of impressive television credits, including director Jeff Perry, better known as Cyrus Beene in the hit show Scandal. The play's relationship to television runs pretty deep, in its length, its subject, its theme and tone.
For better or worse, A Steady Rain often feels like a television cop drama simply presented in a new form. All of this may play out as an advantage for some viewers, who will enjoy seeing a familiar world presented in a new way, but for others, the conceits and tropes of the contemporary cop drama have entered into the realm of deadening cliché.
There are further problems in that the script indicates Denny and Joey are peers — we learn they grew up together playing and rough-housing in the same neighborhood — but the actors appear significantly different in age. It doesn't match what we hear in the script, and even more problematically, it creates a different emotional dynamic than what's written.
Our Joey appears to be an eager, young rookie with Denny, seemingly, the older, more cynical experienced cop. Visually, it becomes a tale of a younger man surpassing and supplanting an older colleague, which is not the most interesting aspect of the story as written; indeed, it's not an aspect of the script at all.
Denny seems angry from the get-go, so we don't see a strong transformation or the slow revelation of flaws and cracks. And Viscuso's depiction of the character's anger can often seem forced and one-noted, even marked by cartoonish seething, stomping and scowling. At a recent matinee performance, there was some stumbling over lines from both performers, a small thing, but it was surprising how distracting small mistakes could be in such a pared-down show.
Still, when it works, it works. Those who remember how much scarier and more intense a radio thriller could be than a film will understand what A Steady Rain is aiming at. It doesn't always hit the target squarely, but its most intense and best moments will stick with you long after the show is over.

Adesto Technologies Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter Revenue Increases 14.1% Year-over-Year; Gross Margin Remains Above 45%
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adesto Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:IOTS), a leading provider of application-specific, feature-rich, ultra-low power non-volatile memory products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Highlights:
Full Year 2015 Highlights:
"We ended the year strong with fourth quarter revenue growing 14.1% over the prior year period and gross margin above 45%," said Narbeh Derhacobian, Adesto's president and CEO. "Revenue growth was driven by an increasing number of design wins ramping into production across our industrial, consumer and communications markets. We also more than doubled design wins year-over-year to 135 in 2015, creating a strong foundation for continued growth in 2016 and beyond.
"Key to our revenue and design win success are the differentiated features of our non-volatile memory solutions, including ultra-low power, high speed, reduced energy consumption and integrated intelligence. We believe these features are also particularly critical for the next-generation memory requirements of IoT and wearable applications.
"Also throughout the year, we made significant progress on our product roadmap in order to increase our addressable market opportunities. This includes the expansion of product densities, integration of enhanced feature sets and smaller form factors for targeted applications, combined with further traction for our CBRAM devices, the first commercially available resistive RAM technology.
"In summary, I believe our strong design win momentum, expanding product offerings and increasing market penetration have positioned us well for continued growth in the coming year."
Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 45.6%, compared to 40.5% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 45.2% in the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was due primarily to favorable product mix and the benefits from product cost improvements.
GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $3.3 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $1.4 million, or $2.50 per share, in the prior year quarter and GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $1.90 per share, in the prior quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was a loss of $494,000, compared to a loss of $442,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a loss of $436,000 in the third quarter of 2015.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.12 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.12 per share, in the third quarter of 2015.
A reconciliation of our GAAP results to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $23.1 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $6.0 million as of December 31, 2014.

The FEP wishes to welcome its new CEO, Anna Kaleva-Tsagklas, who took on the position from January 1st 2017
Anna has worked as CEO of the professional photographers' association in her native Finland for over a decade and continues to do so. In 2015 she also became the CEO of the Association of Finnish Photographic Retailers and was a FEP Board member from 2013, when she took on the role of FEP Event Manager. This year, she becomes only the second FEP CEO, following her predecessor, Giuseppe Scozzi on his retirement, who was first, the FEP Secretary General from 1997 (the birth of the FEP) to 2008 and then Chief Executive from 2008 to 2016.
"I think it is safe to say photography has always been a part of my life, although I have never worked as a photographer. I come from a family of photographers, both of my parents spent their working lives as photographers and the profession even runs in the family for several generations." Revealed Anna. "My own photography may be limited to holiday snapshots and selfies with a mobile phone, but in the end, the apple didn't fall that far from the tree since I ended up in the field nevertheless. I have big boots to fill following my predecessor, but at the same time I look forward to the challenge. Together with my dedicated staff I am confident we can continue to drive the FEP forward and help it to continue thriving as the European continent's most significant association in the field photography."
Photographer: Niina Stolt, Finland
