- Bitter Fame: A Life of Sylvia Plath by Anne Stevenson
Viking, 413 pp, £15.95, October 1989, ISBN 0 670 81854 2
Writing a BBC Third Programme review of Donald Hall's Penguin Contemporary American Poetry exactly a month before she killed herself early in 1963, Sylvia Plath praised 'the inwardness of these images ... the uncanny faculty of melting through the leaves of the wallpaper, through the dark looking-glass, into a world which one can only call surrealist and irrational'. It was a process she could see happening in herself, to her own poems, and she welcomed it:
The blood jet is poetry,
There is no stopping it.
Yet at the moment when she killed herself, 'the uncanny faculty of melting' had become a meltdown. Plath's doctor during her final months, Dr John Horder, wrote afterwards:
My judgment has always been that this was a very determined attempt to end her life ... I believe ... she was liable to large swings of mood, but so excessive that a doctor inevitably thinks in terms of brain chemistry. This does not reduce the concurrent importance of marriage break-up or of exhaustion after a period of unusual artistic activity or from recent infectious illness or from the difficulties of being a responsible, practical mother. The full explanation has to take all these factors into account and more. But the irrational compulsion to end it makes me think that the body was governing the mind.
The rehearsal of all this is painful. Anne Stevenson, against the odds, has written a decent and intelligent book. It is certainly the best book on Sylvia Plath so far – and it isn't graceless to point out that most of the earlier books have been conspicuously unsatisfactory. But Bitter Fame carries its marks of constraint and difficulty as well. A prefatory Author's Note acknowledges 'a great deal of help from Olwyn Hughes, literary agent to the Estate of Sylvia Plath. Ms Hughes's contributions to the text have made it almost a work of dual authorship.' The proof copy I was originally sent phrases it rather differently: 'This biography of Sylvia Plath is the result of a three-year dialogue between the author and Olwyn Hughes, agent to the Plath Estate. Ms Hughes has contributed so liberally to the text that this is in effect a work of joint authorship. I have in particular to acknowledge her contribution to the biographical material in the last four chapters.' Linda Wagner-Martin's 1988 biography[*] reveals typographically, to anyone who examines it closely, that many passages were rewritten at a late proof stage, presumably under duress. Earlier attempts to write about Plath were either soured by authorial complaints against Olwyn Hughes, Ted Hughes and the Estate (e.g. David Holbrook, Edward Butscher) or have come to nothing (e.g. Lois Ames, Harriet Rosenstein). Most of the book-length literary criticism is unimpressive. There isn't much to choose, for example, between Margaret Dickie Uroff ('As they developed, Plath came to locate herself at the fulcrum, while Hughes stood back to explore the nature of the universe') and Mary Lynn Broe ('To discuss only Plath's self-sufficient system of poetic devices – even her imaginatively textured combinations that move organically toward energy – is to indulge narcissistically a kind of contextualism with some blatant indifferences'). The militant feminists have raged against Ted Hughes as the holy monster of Plath's life and death. More recently, feelings have been stirred up about a gravestone (or lack of one) in Heptonstall cemetery, and about the desirability of a memorial plaque or plaques to her in various places. Ted Hughes, usually totally reticent in these matters, was goaded into writing long public letters of exasperated explanation.

Building on innovative scientific research, the Thalgo Laboratory pre-empts a new era of expertise with Thalgo M-Ceutic, the first Cosmeceutical skincare range with patented Mésolift Marine. A real technological feat for anti-ageing, this 100% marine bio-regenerative solution mimics a Mesotherapy (skin needling) injection, delivering its post-revitalising essential nutrients to the heart of the skin to help reactivate the fundamental metabolism of skin cells.
Thalgo has also identified the main cause of progressive deterioration of the skin's texture. The patented Néo-Skin technology uses a unique combination of 3 highly active extracts that have been specifically designed to regenerate the skin. Cells are restored, with sebaceous gland dysfunction minimised to gradually re-establish the skin's original quality.
The first corrective medi-skincare solution of it's kind, which targets the problems that cause imperfections and irregularities to restore smooth and radiant skin. The retail range is a beauty prescription for home use to optimise and prolong the benefits of the professional treatments.
The range is made up of six key products that together form Renovation Radicale:
Thalgo M-Ceutic Pro-Regulator Make-up Remover – A high performance gel-in-oil removes make-up and impurities and reduces shine while restoring high quality sebum. Perfect for all skin types including sensitive for use morning and night.
Thalgo M-Ceutic Pro-Renewal Cleanser – An exfoliating mousse enriched with revitalising marine minerals that cleanses, unclogs pores, refines skin tone and gradually reveals the skin's radiance. Ideal for most skin types (not sensitive) for use morning and night.
Thalgo M-Ceutic Intensive Peel – Seven days to renewed skin, a dual renovating action for spectacular skin. Roughness is reduced, skin tone is smoother and more refined and the complexion is noticeably clearer. Use every evening for 7 consecutive days.
Thalgo M-Ceutic Detox Regenerator – One drop to boost the skin's bio-regeneration. The ultra-concentrated Mésolift Marin gives an anti-ageing infusion and is complemented by a powerful detoxifying action to reactivate skin cells' metabolism and maintain youthful looking skin. Use every evening for 7 consecutive days.
Thalgo M-Ceutic Normaliser Cream-Serum – As concentrated as a serum, this cream-serum fundamentally rebalances the quality of the skin to cleanse, refine skin tone, tighten pores and reduce imperfections. Use morning and night.
Thalgo M-Ceutic Resurfacer Cream-Serum – A multi-perfecting cosmetic product that is as concentrated as a serum. By persistently targeting irregularities on the skin, optimal skin texture is created with a matte finish.

The reason I say this collection is unique, is because these colors feel different than your average spring collection, in my opinion. Of course we have the soft pink and baby blue cremes, but there's also some darker shades, as well as a gorgeous gray! Formulas were (of course) fabulous, and application was a breeze.
Under the Sea is a gorgeous dark teal with a strong turquoise shimmer. See what I mean about being unique for the season? I would normally wear this shade in the fall, but somehow it works nicely for warmer weather, in that it reminds me of a lake or lagoon. It actually has a really interesting semi-matte finish, but I prefer it glossy. Shown above is three easy coats with top coat!
Heaven Sent is a beautiful pale blue creme. I think I'm obsessed! This is definitely a classic spring shade. Shown above is two ridiculously easy coats with top coat.
Gray Sky is a soft gray with a light shimmer. Another totally interesting take on a spring shade! I found this one to be a bit thick but self levelling, and with the shimmer, it was brushstrokey - but the brushstrokes seemed to disappear once the polish dried. Despite being slightly more difficult to apply, I think this one is my favorite of the bunch. Somehow it looks like it has a warm undertone, and I am just obsessed with how it looks against my skin tone! Shown above is three coats with top coat.
Pink Parasol is a perfect pink creme! Again, a totally classic shade, not only for spring but for any time of year! I loved the formula on this one - two easy coats with top coat in the above photo!
And finally, we have Champagne Bubbles, a caramel brown creme. I can't decide how I feel about this color - when I saw swatches of it, I thought of it as an orange shade, which I didn't like at all, but once I applied it on myself I saw the caramel/toffee color and found myself really liking it! I think the color of this shade really depends on your skin tone. The formula on this polish was super sheer and milky, almost - shown above is four thin coats with top coat, but because the formula was so thin, it didn't feel thick at all on my nails, it felt like one or two coats.
Overall, I am liking the colors of this collection, although I wish the formulas were more consistent. The two lighter cremes had wonderful formulas, but the other shades are really so pretty. They're available for purchase from Barielle as a set for $25 USD.
What do you think of this collection?

Change is coming fast for the Chesapeake band best known as Bison. Last month, the chamber folk group was in Los Angeles recording tracks in anticipation of a national release. There's also word of a fall tour with high-achieving fellow local Kishi Bashi.
What's more, the group has changed -- or at least expanded -- its name. It's now The Last Bison. That change was announced to fans July 17, but The NorVa underscored the change just yesterday:
"To avoid confusion with another band with the same name, they are now known as The Last Bison," a staffer posted on The NorVa's Facebook page. "Keep that fun fact on hand because we just may have a big announcement soon, and you wouldn't want to be confused when the time comes!"
Media -- both local and national -- have come calling recently. Hampton Road's own Distinction magazine published a lengthy piece on the group back in the spring. CNN radio interviewed the band and posted a feature last month.
As far as the tour with Norfolk experimental pop genius Kishi Bashi goes, Pollstar reports that The Last Bison will open shows in San Francisco Sept. 4, Cleveland Sept. 14, and Pittsburgh Sept. 15.
According to an itinerary posted on the band's own website, the group will be appearing in Idaho, Nebraska, New Orleans, Texas and Arizona this month.
Video has also been on the group's agenda. Here's the band's new, cinematic clip for "Switzerland."

In another thread TitusN said
'Like my colleague said, you can actually style your form such that the submit button and the next button have the same look, line-position and feel.
The reason why they cannot be combined in the form builder is because of the feature disparity - however, CSS resolves this by applying the similarity through styling.
I have submitted a feature request to that end - there is no timeline to implementation, but in the meantime we could assist with a workaround that would require you to use the form's source code.
Please open a new ticket with the form you would like to appear as per your description above, and we shall be happy to assist with styling.'
Am I right that if you give me code to insert, I shall have to redo that each time I modify the form? Or will it go in the inserted CSS section and stay with the form?
The problem with the buttons is that if I use one of the pretty buttons you offer, it does not show up if the user is on IE8. Instead it shows as an almost invisible rectangle, with totally unreadable text on it. Using your default simple rectangle works, but my back button and my submit button have different levels of blackness in their text, which looks messy.
The form is at http://form.jotformeu.com/form/40465193394358 and I would like to get the submit button and the back button onto the same line and with the same style. You might not see the back button in the form builder. Nothing after the submit button shows. I've submitted a seperate thread on that topic.
- EliezerNAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 10:26 AM
Thanks for the additional information.
By injecting CSS codes directly to the form you will not need to redo it everytime you edit your form. So, to accomplish what you need simply inject this CSS code to your form:
position:absolute !important;
top:13px !important;
width:75px !important;
height:33px !important;
Follow the steps in the image to inject the code:
Your form will look this way:
Please add the code and let us know if it works as you wish or if you need further assistance with this inquiry.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 10:45 AM
Thanks very much.
This nearly works, but not quite. I've noticed 2 problems.
1. The text is still not the same density on both buttons.
2. On IE8 the two buttons now overlap.
Also, does the fact that you have put in a position : absolute mean that if I change the page layout in some way, I shall need to alter that.
- pinoytechAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 11:45 AM
I've updated the code provided by my colleague and append to the form. Can you please take a look at this clone form?
position:absolute !important;
top:13px !important;
left: 450px !important;
font-size: 14px !important;
color: #666;
width:75px !important;
height:33px !important;
This is how it looks like using chrome and IE browsers.
Feel free to contact us again if you need further assistance.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 07:05 PM
Well that sort of works in the shortened form which you used, except for on thing. If you press submit without entering the capture, the line that there is an error on the form appears, and the back button gets pushed down, but the submit button stys where it is (presumably because of the absolute position.
But I can't get it to work on my actual form. Maybe the field name for the back button is different from that given in the css code. It is difficult to check, because the next button does not show up in the form bulder. (I have already had an explanation of why that is).
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 08:20 PM
Further to my above reply. I found that I lost a full-stop when copying your suggestion to my actual form. It now works the same as on your demo form, and also works on IE8. Thankyou.
But there is still the oddity of the back button moving down and the submit button staying still when there is an error (such as not entering anything in the captcha).
Is it really necessary for the submit button position to be made absolute, couldn't it be relative to something? so that it would move when the back button moves.
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on February 17, 2014 at 11:19 PM
Hello NRCsupport ,
Thank you for your update. Your question have reached my colleague and he will get back to you once he is back online.
Meanwhile I will also try to find out if I can come up with something to sort out the problem you are having because of the error messages.
Thank you!
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 02:47 AM

- pinoytechAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 07:10 AM
Hi NRCsupport,
Sorry to keep you waiting. With regards on the issue, please inject this custom css into your form to fix the issue.
.form-button-error {
position: absolute;
margin-left: 140px !important;
Please consider checking this clone form also to see how it work.
Feel free to contact us again if you need further assistance.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 08:12 AM
Thank you very much. That very nearly works. I've noticed two problems so far.
1. When hitting 'next' on a page with errors, the page error message slightly overlaps the next button.
2. (I'm not sure if this is new behaviour). On both 'next' and 'submit' buttons - if an error was reported on a previous press of the key, and the error has now been corrected, pressing the key clears the error message, but does not go to the next page or submit the form. Pressing the key one more time then has the desired action. This extra press of thekey is undesirable.
Another oddity I've noticed is that the horizontal line above the back and next buttons does not appear on the first page, which has anext button but no back button.
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 08:59 AM
This clone has #1 fixed:
As for #2, I don't quite understad what you mean by 'press of the key'. Can you give us the steps as to how the problem can be recreated?
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 09:42 AM
Thanks, I'll look at the clone in a moment. Can you tell me what you have changed.
#2. I'll try to explain more clearly step by step. Sorry about saying 'press the key' - of course I meant click the button.
1. Do not complete some of the compulsary fields in a page
2. Click Next. You will get an errors on the page message
3. Correct the errors
4. Click Next again. The error message clears, but Next is not actioned and the same page remains open.
5. Click Next again, and it is actioned normally.
Step 5 should not be necessary, the next page should be shown at step 4.
The submit button behaves similarly.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 10:16 AM
Hi again, I've looked at the clone you referred me to. Yes it has cured the problem with the error message overlapping the next button, but it shows the following oddities.
1. Sometimes when there are errors on a page, the error fields are flagged as they should be, but the error message at the bottom (above the buttons) is missing.
2. On the last page the back and submit buttons are no longer on the same level
3. I believe that on at least one occasion, correcting a failure to fill the last radio button on the first page immediately went to the second page without clicking next again.
4. This change makes the back and next buttons be further away from the last field. Would it be possible to put the error on page (and error on form) message below the buttons.
5. Could we do away with the feint line above the back and next buttons? (a) It wastes a little space and (b) It does not seem to be there on the first page.
6. The behaviour I described in my previous message seems to happen less frequently than before but is still there most of the time.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 11:17 AM
Another strange thing in this form. Go through this sequence
1. Get to the last page.
2. Click Submit without filling in captcha. You will get the field marked as required, and (usually) the error on form message.
3. click in the captcha field, and the required field warning will clear
4. Click back. The required field warning reappears and thesamepage remains displayed
5. Click back again, andit goes to the previous page.
Step 5 should not be needed. Step 4 should go to the previous page.
- NRCsupportAnswered on February 18, 2014 at 11:25 AM
Another funny with that form
1. In first page click Next without filling any fields
2. All fields will be flagged as required
3. Click on either of the two radio button groups
4. Ususally the required field warning will clear, but the 'selected' dot will not appear
5. Click theradio button again and it does work correctly.
Once again step 5 should not be needed.

That is absolutely fantastic. Just what I wanted. Thank you so much. The service here is absolutely first class.
Building on all your brilliant work, I'm going to see if I can do away with the blank area above the buttons where the error message used to appear. I'm learning a lot about CSS from all the help I've been getting here.

Róisín Murphy, "Dear Miami"–ooh that's a good track.
Leopard is nice.
I moved the Dock over to the right side straight away, and it looks okay there now.
I might be able to replace Quicksilver with the (much faster) Spotlight–still experimenting.
Virtual Desktops was something that I really missed after switching from Linux to a Mac. (Especially since my Mac had a 12" screen.) I'm not completely comfortable with Spaces yet. It would be nice if you could switch from one space to another by scrolling with the mouse. (Though that breaks the otherwise infinitely high menu bar, I guess.) Some windows and dialog boxes seem to pop up on the wrong screen though (they way they do all the time on a dual-screen Windows machine).
Time Machine seems incredibly wasteful but I'm going to use it anyway, and try not to fret that a movie I just downloaded has ended up on my backed-up-for-all-time external drive. I guess I should exclude the "Downloads" directory from Time Machine? If a directory is added to the exclude list, does it retrospectively get removed from Time Machine backups? What directories and extensions are excluded by default?

A California man was charged Monday with operating a ring of illegal test-takers who helped dozens of Middle Eastern nationals obtain U.S. student visas by passing various proficiency and college-placement exams for them, federal authorities said.
Eamonn Daniel Higgins, 46, of Laguna Niguel made an appearance in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana on one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud as federal immigration agents arrested 16 of his suspected clients who remained in Southern California.
A judge entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Higgiins.
The allegations revealed a potentially dangerous security breach in the country's student visa system and underscored the vulnerability of a tracking process that relies on schools to verify the identities of people taking the mandated exams.
In one case, a blond woman working for Higgins was allowed to take an exam using a fake ID that paired her photo with a man's Arabic name, Parker said. Authorities have not said any of the clients were engaged in terrorist activity and have yet to determine their motives for hiring Higgins.
Still, the investigation has alarmed immigration authorities, said Debra Parker, acting deputy special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.
"Visa fraud is always a concern but their motive is definitely something that all of the participating agencies will be taking a very, very close look at over the next few weeks," she said.
Six of Higgins' alleged clients face criminal charges, with the remaining 42 subject of deportation proceedings, said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A federal magistrate allowed Higgins to go free on $5,000 bail. His public defender, Elizabeth Macias, declined to comment.
Authorities alleged that over a seven-year period, Higgins collected tens of thousands of dollars from foreign students from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Kuwait, Turkey and Qatar before he or his accomplices took their exams at 10 Southern California community colleges and universities using doctored IDs.
Higgins charged up to $1,500 per student per exam for passing grades on English proficiency exams, writing assessments, English and math college placement tests, final exams and other college coursework the students needed to obtain their F-1 student visas or to stay current on the visas, authorities said.
U.S. colleges and universities began using a specialized tracking system for foreign students after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but the current investigation exposed an unexpected loophole, Parker said.
The scheme operated from 2002 to 2009 at seven Southern California community colleges and three California State University campuses in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Dominguez Hills, Kice said.
Higgins, who doesn't have a college degree himself, had so many clients that he recruited about a dozen other people to take the exams as well, authorities allege. No criminal charges have been filed against the other test-takers.
Immigration agents raided Higgins' home in December as part of an eight-month investigation and recovered a computer hard drive that indicated Higgins may have worked with hundreds of foreign students, although authorities have only been able to definitively identify 119, Parker said.
The investigation began when police in Daly City in Northern California discovered seven fake driver's licenses in a lost wallet, according to court papers. Each of the fake licenses featured a photo of Higgins' nephew.
A search of law enforcement databases showed the names on the IDs matched students who had entered the country on student visas and studied in Southern California.
A search of Higgins' home turned up 60 fake IDs, college testing materials and completed exams and payment information from foreign students, court papers said.
Foreign students seeking a nonimmigrant F-1 student visa must submit a passing score on an English proficiency exam in order to qualify for the visa.
In addition, all undergraduates entering the California State University system must take math and English placement tests as a condition of enrollment and complete remedial programs within a year of enrollment if they don't score well.

North Korea Hydrogen Bomb Test Will Spark 'Massive' US Response
"both effective and overwhelming"
North Korea has conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, which it says is was of an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile, prompting the threat of a "massive" military response from the US if it or its allies are threatened.
Speaking outside the White House after meeting with President Donald Trump and his national security team, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump asked to be briefed on all available military options.
"Any threat to the United States or its territories, including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming," Mattis said.
"We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea," Mattis said with Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at his side. "But as I said, we have many options to do so."
Trump earlier in the day refused to rule out military action and threatened to cut off trade with any country doing business with Pyongyang.
Asked while leaving a church service whether the US would attack North Korea, Trump replied: "We'll see."
The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet on Monday to discuss the nuclear test. Mattis said the members of the council "remain unanimous in their commitment to denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula."
In a series of early morning tweets, the president also appeared to rebuke ally South Korea, which faces an existential threat from North Korea's nuclear program.
"South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!" Trump said in an early morning tweet.
Trump appeared to be blaming South Korea for a policy it abandoned years ago of trying to soften North Korea's posture through economic aid.
Reports that the United States is considering pulling out of its trade deal with South Korea has also ratcheted up tensions with the country.
A former senior State Department official criticised Trump for accusing South Korea of appeasement.
"It was unseemly, unhelpful, and divisive to gratuitously slap our major ally at the very moment when the threat from (North Korea) has reached a new height," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
North Korea, which carries out its nuclear and missile programs in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions and sanctions, said on state television that the hydrogen bomb test ordered by leader Kim Jong Un had been a "perfect success."
The bomb was designed to be mounted on its newly developed intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, the North said.
The test had registered with international seismic agencies as a man-made earthquake near a test site. Japanese and South Korean officials said the tremor was about 10 times more powerful than the one picked up after North Korea's last nuclear test a year ago.
After weeks of profound tensions over North Korea's nuclear program, the size and scope of the latest test has set off a new round of diplomatic handwringing.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who met on the sidelines of a BRICS summit in China, agreed to "appropriately deal" with North Korea's nuclear test, the Xinhua news agency reported.
As North Korea's sole major ally, China said it strongly condemned the nuclear test and urged Pyongyang to stop its "wrong" actions.
Hours before the test, Trump talked by phone with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe about the "escalating" nuclear crisis in the region.

I've seen several blogs writing about having a word for the new year. I have loved reading about what each author thinks is the most important thing for them to think about right now. I especially connected with my friend, Erin, and her post about PRIORITIES in 2010. Erin, I'm right there with ya, girl!
I think my word for 2010 needs to be FOCUS.
I need to stop trying to do twenty things at once, and instead focus on doing one thing well at a time.
I need to put God at the focus of everything I do more often.
I need to focus on supporting my husband.
I need to focus on raising my daughter the best way I can.
Everything else is just extra, but a lot of the time it can get in the way. I have a feeling this is going to be a challenge for me. I am someone who always needs to stay busy, I don't know what to do with myself when I have fewer than five projects going at any time. But they don't always get completed, and when they do, it's often not to the best of my ability. I am looking forward to the challenge of FOCUSING on one thing at a time.
What's your word for 2010?

Discussions are in place that could switch the One Laptop Per Child project at least partially to Intel's processors, the two companies said today. Following the firms' recent agreement to collaborate on future projects, the OLPC team has confirmed that it has been helping Intel engineers create a new chipset and processor that could meet the extremely low power draw and high sturdiness levels needed for the project, which has focused on providing notebooks to developing regions where money and harsh weather would not support normal computers. OLPC's current system, the XO, runs on a 433MHz AMD Geode.
Intel would not reveal its exact plans but expects to base a future system on the A100-series CPU originally designed for ultra-mobile PCs. The system may also run on the upcoming "Silverthorne" platform due next year that would potentially offer the extra speed of a dual-core chip. It may also become part of a second system designed for more developed areas, where the system could be larger and faster.
"I can imagine there will be a family of laptops in terms of processor power and maybe there will be a larger form factor for older kids," said William Bender, president of the OLPC project.
The group still maintains its plans to use the AMD processor for at least the primary XO system and hasn't ruled out other chips for other purposes, such as Marvell's Xscale embedded chips used in cellphones and other handhelds.

Christian Speaker
El Cajon California 92021
Lasting Healing can only happen when we surrender everything over release the desire to control and ask GOD for help
El Cajon, CA 92021
United States
Kimberle is a survivor of severe sexual abuse, suicide attempt, suicide loss, physical serious health issues, and mental illness. Her first suicide attempt was at 8 years old her last would be 30 years later, on a night where filled with desperate pain from her abusive past she held a butcher knife to her wrist and before making that final choice she called out to GOD surrendering her pain and desire to end her life. She asked Jesus Christ to enter her heart and accepted Christ as her personal LORD & SAVIOR. The change was instantaneous and as she surrendered her pain, shame, fear, and the desire to control and do it all by herself. GOD began the healing!
Kimberle was called to be trained, educated, and has become a certified Integrative Wellness & Trauma Recovery Life Coach where she uses her story to give other survivors hope, and that healing is very real.
Kimberle is a published author and a contributing writer for such publications as The Huffing ton Post, Medium, Thrive Global and others.

We attended a Mid-Winter meal with Martin's work on Saturday and he asked me to make him a shirt to wear. During work on Sunday, he came and chose fabric for the main shirt and a contrast for inside the collar, the pockets and the inner cuff. The main fabric is Heath in Chocolate and for the contrast he chose Love City in Smoke, both by our favourite US designer, Alexander Henry.
With the remaining fabric, I bought an embroidery hoop from work and turned it into a piece of wall art to decorate our hole covered walls!

Croissant or pain au chocolat?
Or shot through with chocolate?
Airy and flaky?
Or hiding something melty in the middle?
(Maybe even a choco-raspberry melty middle.)
Or always with chocolate?

I don't really like laminated stuff unless it's slathered with jam..

I learned the word 'laminated' (layered) from Sarabeth.

No doubt completely lost in news of Christmas sales and Black Friday specials is the news that today is in fact "Buy Nothing Day." Little wonder if you have never heard of it, no major media outlet ever built a successful ad-revenue-based business model by encouraging people not to buy things. But nonetheless, the idea that happiness is not derived from consumption and consumerism is an idea whose time hopefully has finally come to the general population.
Amongst all of the bad economic news we frequently hear, the US has been in an unprecedented period of economic growth for about the last 25 years (since 1982). Yet bigger houses, more cars, and bunches of more "stuff" have done very little to change or improve our daily lives. A McMansion is just a house, a big, expensive TV is just a TV, an iPod is just a record/cassette player and a gas-guzzling SUV is just a car. So perhaps it is finally time to abandon the naïve notions pimped by manufacturers, advertisers, and the associated culture of consumerism.
Sure, it may be as ineffective as the "Great American Smokeout," but "Buy Nothing Day" is certainly a step in the right direction. And the first step to a cure is always to first acknowledge that you have a problem to begin with.
Go ahead and spend a day cleaning your house and not buying more stuff. Spend some time with friends and loved ones and reflect how maintaining those relationships will return far greater value than buying yet another sweater or purse. Afraid that if you don't buy that gift sweater that it may in fact hurt those relationships? That is a valid concern, but there are plenty of alternate gift ideas that can be very personal and meaningful that don't involve much spending. These include such things as a family tree, a framed photo, an address book (with friends/family contact info already filled in), a self-assembled food basket, and many other things limited only by your creativity.
So, Happy Buy Nothing Day – now wasn't that much more satisfying (not to mention warmer and safer) than camping in front of Best Buy all night – and your basement and/or garage may just be cleaner for it.

Last Thursday my Grandma, after suffering from pneumonia and the repercussions of several brutal falls, passed away. My mother's siblings traveled thousands of miles (from Germany and from Idaho) to say their goodbyes and to comfort each other. We were all heartbroken. It was a weekend of tears and stories, of old photographs and love letters. At one point, after coming across a stack of grainy videos that brought back some of my fondest memories of her, I was overwhelmed by grief and couldn't seem to stop crying. A family friend pulled me aside and comforted me with very brief, yet miraculously assuring words of wisdom. She recited to me the old proverb about grieving: "Pain comes and goes- love lasts."
For this project I mapped the love that my grandmother left behind, in its most tactile form: her children. I photographed each of them in a location or with objects that made them feel most at home. For my uncle Sean it was the comfort of a playground, for my uncle Tim, the soothing purr of a housecat and for my mother, a familiar mattress and one of her works of textile art. I attempted to capture each of them at a moment of laughter or vulnerability. I wanted to map the purest glimmers of life within each of them, signs, I think, that my grandmother's loving spirit lives on.

As by the fix'd decrees of Heaven,
'Tis vain to hope that Joy can last;
The dearest boon that Life has given,
To me is - visions of the past.
For these this toy of blushing hue
I prize with zeal before unknown,
It tells me of a Friend I knew,
Who loved me for myself alone.
It tells me what how few can say
Though all the social tie commend;
Recorded in my heart 'twill lay, 2
It tells me mine was once a Friend.
Through many a weary day gone by,
With time the gift is dearer grown;
And still I view in Memory's eye
That teardrop sparkle through my own.
And heartless Age perhaps will smile,
Or wonder whence those feelings sprung;
Yet let not sterner souls revile,
For Both were open, Both were young.
And Youth is sure the only time,
When Pleasure blends no base alloy;
When Life is blest without a crime,
And Innocence resides with Joy.
Let those reprove my feeble Soul,
Who laugh to scorn Affection's name;
While these impose a harsh controul,
All will forgive who feel the same.
Then still I wear my simple toy,
With pious care from wreck I'll save it;
And this will form a dear employ
For dear I was to him who gave it.
? 1806.

Christina Hopkinson
author of The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs
Ten Terrifying Questions
1. To begin with why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself – where were you born? Raised? Schooled?
I was born in London, but was soon moved to a village near Cambridgeshire and spent the next 20 years trying to make the reverse journey. I'm an asphalt flower in that I need concrete to survive and even now that I have children and all my contemporaries are talking of the joys of rural life, I'm convinced I'll only leave the city in a hearse.
My parents are Catholic so I went to four schools, all called St Mary's and all peopled by nuns. From there to Oxford University to read history.
2. What did you want to be when you were twelve, eighteen and thirty? And why?
At 12, I wanted to be 13. At 18, I wanted to be snake-hipped. At 30, I wanted to end all the dating disasters and to work out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Career-wise, I always wanted to be a writer, though for a long time I was so convinced that it was impossible and that nobody ever gets published, that I failed to do the most important thing of all – actually write. Though I had written lots of snippets in my 20s, it took the end of dating disasters and meeting my husband to give me the stability and confidence to finish something and dare to send it out.
3. What strongly held belief did you have at eighteen that you do not have now?
That being snake-hipped would make me happy, that I would marry Morrissey, that feminism's most important battle was to improve street lighting.
4. What were three works of art – book or painting or piece of music, etc – you can now say, had a great effect on you and influenced your own development as a writer?
Ooo how not to sound pretentious with this answer? Does anybody say watching Dallas or Neighbours?
Books, I'd go for George Elliot's Middlemarch because I think it was the first book I read where I didn't feel that at 1000 pages it was too long and whose heroine tapped in to all my teenage feelings of destiny and greatness.
Anything by Rosamond Lehmann because she made me realise what a comfort books could be as her two best heroines, Judith Earle and Olivia Curtis, struggled to reconcile their interior and exterior lives.
Architecture – anything by Inigo Jones, an English architect working in the first half of the 17th century. His work is never bombastic or grandiose. Plus he designed theatrical sets, came from an impoverished background and has the name Inigo. Which is just the sort of trendy name that parents give their sons these days, but at the time must have made him stand out amid the Williams and Johns.
5. Considering the innumerable artistic avenues open to you, why did you choose to write a novel?
There are no other artistic avenues open to me – I am cloth-eared, can't draw and have two left feet.
6. Please tell us about your latest novel The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs…
The tagline is 'What do you hate most about the one you love?'
My heroine (or anti-heroine, depending on your perspective), Mary Gilmour, feels that her life is going down a plughole clogged with cornflakes and play-doh. She is convinced that there's only one thing standing between her and colour-coded storage heaven: his name is Joel and he's her husband. Since star charts have improved the behaviour of her two sons, she decides that she will make the equivalent for her husband. She writes an Excel spreadsheet of everything he does to annoy her, and some of his plus points, and gives him six months to prove himself to be more of an asset than a liability. Or else…
7. What do you hope people take away with them after reading your work?
The Pile of Stuff is supposed to be an enjoyable, romantic and funny read, but I also hope to raise some issues about who does what in modern relationships. Women's work outside the home has changed dramatically over my lifetime, but inside the home the changes are lagging behind. That makes it sound very earnest and it really isn't. It raises questions, but I'm an observer not a politician, so it's not prescribing answers.
8. Whom do you most admire in the realm of writing and why?
The people whose books I rush out to buy are Nick Hornby and Barbara Trapido. They are very different writers but, like Inigo Jones, their work has a perfect 'smallness' about them. I don't like work that shouts too much and someone like Nick Hornby can get dismissed as 'commercial' just because he doesn't make his work self-consciously literary. David Nicholls' One Day is another book that's popularity shouldn't detract from the fact that it's just damned good.
US writers Carol Shields and Anne Tyler share this sensibility and some of their observations will stay with me forever. Carol Shields has one about a character's attitude to disabled parking spaces that comes to me almost daily.
9. Many artists set themselves very ambitious goals. What are yours?
I am not one of those artists. I don't, in fact, think of myself as an artist. I find it quite hard to admit even to being a writer as it sounds so fraudulent to put yourself in the company of Austen, Shakespeare et al.
10. What advice do you give aspiring writers?
I remember saying to my best friend when I was writing my first (ultimately very unpublished) work, 'No one will publish it anyway'. And she said, 'well they definitely won't if you don't write it.' And it's obvious but very true, you have to put pen to paper/fingers to keyboard or it will never happen. Don't worry about it being any good. When I wrote this book, I was so tired with three children under five, I can barely remember the process and all I do remember is a continual feeling of the utter pointlessness of the endeavour. You just have to try to battle through this.
Christina, thank you for playing.

still our most beloved city...
(see here)
We arrived late afternoon and parked, as usual on the quays,
which is always a perfect start.
The 'Schelde'river never looks the same.
I took some (a lot of ;-)) pictures while walking towards town
and walking back during sundown.
Yesterday was a perfect spring evening, so in between, we just strolled around the city...
dropping by our favorite stores
and dining at 'De Rooden Hoed'(here), one of our favorite classic bistro's in town, with an amazing view on the Cathedral
and a longtime history in town.
Wishing you another nice spring day ;-)

As the last day of February dawned in central Vermont, I awoke to a wonderland. Every dark branch of every tree was heaped with two or three inches of new, wet snow. The snow coated roofs, cars, the sidewalk, but thankfully not the road. As the temperature warmed above freezing, the snow started falling quickly from the branches, leading to a second snowstorm after the light snow that passed through last night. Soon the snow was gone, the branches went back to their normal bleak winter configuration, and the trees awaited the warming days of spring.
Spring here is both a gradual affair and a series of abrupt steps. A few weeks ago, during a day of cutting frigid wind, i looked up for the first time and noticed a swelling in red maple buds. Even before the temperatures had started to change, the increasingly long days had encouraged the buds to swell subtly. It was the first first in a season of firsts.
This winter was an odd one. Overall, it was a bit milder than average, but in reality it was an exercise in extremes. Brief warm thaws with rain alternated with stretches of several days that mostly remained below zero. One stretch didn't get above the mid teens for a whole week. But the sun's stay each day has lengthened, and this shows itself in many signs – not just the swelling buds, but snow that melts when it hits the ground, temperatures that pop above freezing most days, a drive home from work with the sun still in the sky.
Many firsts are to follow in the next three months. I saw a cardinal the other day. They don't all leave Vermont in the winter, but they tend to lay low. Soon, for the first time this season, I will hear their "pew! pew! pew!" call that reminds me of a toy laser gun. Robins will reappear in greater numbers, and chickadees, and then more birds. I'll hear the first honk of returning Canada geese (not all leave the state, but those who are traveling seem to have a more wistful call than the yearlong residents). The first salamander will emerge from hibernation to breed in vernal pools during the first heavy nighttime spring rain on thawed ground. Other salamanders, frogs, and toads will follow. Around this time I will get the first taste of this year's maple syrup, and will hear the first calls of the spring peepers and wood frogs. The first crocuses will pop up around homes, and soon after the spring ephemeral wildflowers will pop forth in the woods. We will experience the first warm rain that is accompanied by a rumble of thunder. It's not until May that the maples burst forth with new leaves. The new leaves are pink, and while they are less vibrant than fall leaves, they offer their own sort of seasonal color. The first leaves to emerge are from aspen trees, and the first of these that emerge are in the Champlain Valley. Later Montpelier's trees will leaf out. Lastly, extending into June, the wave of pink and then green will race up the slopes of the Green Mountains until the paper birch growing amidst the spruce and fir of Camel's Hump and Mount Mansfield finally burst forth with new leaves.
There are lasts, too. The last sticking snow. The last remains of the melting snow piles. The last day that remains entirely below freezing. The last icicle. The last day of skiing. Some of the lasts won't be identifiable until well after the fact. It is an odd characteristic of life and time that the firsts are gifts that are well evident, but the lasts are often not realized until well after the fact. For that reason it is necessary to pause to appreciate the beauty of each snow and each formation of ice. Everything else too, for that matter. There are some firsts that are also lasts.
Sadly, there are also firsts that are not gifts. The snow piles along the roads and parking lots store whatever is tossed within them, and when the thaw comes, such desirables as dog poop, general road dirtiness, and motor oil emerge from their slumber. Today I found this sheen of oil on a puddle near a snowbank, and the slow flow of the water led to these odd formations. I thought they looked like intestines.
Sadly, this water was pouring straight into the drain, which presumably then dumps into the Winooski River. A rain garden or other constructed or natural wetland would allow this water to be filtered naturally, perhaps removing the oil. Instead, it is bound for Lake Champlain. Winter gives us a break from worrying about the fate of urban runoff, but the lost time is made up in the mad watery slushy rush of spring.

Arguably, most managed service providers are now engaged in nothing less than an arms race. By automating multiple IT services efficiently, MSPs can reduce their costs significantly. In turn, it's almost inevitable those MSPs will pass those savings to their customers to gain market share at the expense of rivals.

While researching the last post, I came across this – and it was too good to pass up:
Nasrudin is with his cronies drinking coffee:
They are discussing death, "When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning upon you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"
The first crony says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man."
The second says, " I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher which made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."
Nasrudin says, " I would like to hear them say… LOOK!! HE'S MOVING!!!"

I'm still not over George Clooney's (yum!) masterpiece that is The Ides Of March.
Yep, a month after I watched the movie and I'm still not over it. Below is an excerpt of my favorite part of the movie:
Stephen (played by Ryan Gosling): Give me the job.
Duffy (played by Paul Giamatti): No. That's not going to happen. I'm sorry. Go take a nice long vacation. You're a smart guy. Everything that I said, the other day is absolutely true. But you know? Maybe, politics isn't for you.
Stephen: Politics is my life!
Duffy: Oh, you know what? Do yourself a favor. Get out..now! While you still can. Go into entertainment or business. Go open a fucking restaurant in Costa Rica. Anything! Do something that's going to make you happy, okay? Cause if you stay in this business long enough, you're going to get jaded and cynical.
Stephen: Like you?
Duffy: Yeah, just like me!
Stephen: This is…It's my life, that you're talking about.
Duffy: It doesn't make me happy, doing this kind of thing. Don't think, it gives me any kind of pleasure. No, I'm sorry for you. I really am. Take care of yourself.
For the detailed version, please read The Ides Of March Experience too.
And of course, watch the movie!

The Asia regional talk held at #IODC16 was a remarkable success (watch the recording of the session here). Featuring six representatives from different countries (India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand), the session yielded discussions on a variety of topics, namely:
- national open data agendas;
- regional partnerships; and
- goals for global collaboration.
Dr. Chi-Ming Peng from Open Data Alliance (ODA) Taiwan provided information on the initiation of the Asia Open Data Partnership. He also mentioned some of the events important to this region, such as the yearly open data summit and cross-country hackathons.
Dr. Peng provided updates on the development of open data initiatives and the data economy in Taiwan. It was noted that Taiwan has come out on top among 122 nations and areas in 2015 according to Open Knowledge International's global open data index. This achievement was based on the top-down open data policy announced in 2011, and a healthy ecosystem in public and private partnerships.
Mr. Sumandro Chattapadhyay from The Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) of India shared updates on the policy and progress of open data in India, both for central government and state governments. He mentioned that while the driven force from government is important, the data outside the government and the joint effort from civil society is also critical.
Mr. Arthur Glenn Maail from World Wide Web Foundation Open Data Lab Jakarta explained the state of open data in Indonesia based on the insights from the Open Data Barometer (which is a collaborative project between the World Wide Web Foundation and the Open Data for Development Network). While at the the national level, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) is implementing "one data" policy, open data is gaining traction at the sub-national level, and civil society organizations continue to lead the way in Indonesia's open data movement.
Mr. Teruo Tomita from the National Strategy Office of ICT, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of Japan, shared the deployment of the open data initiative in Japan. The open data initiative was formed after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. A roadmap for open government data promotion and action for encouraging new open data was announced in the following years. In the future, Japan will take a further step to implement "solution-oriented open data", and to promote dynamic engagement of all citizens.
Mr. YS Lee from National Information Society Agency (NIA) of Korea provided information on the open data agenda in Korea. He noted that Korea enacted the world's first open data law in 2013. After that, the government has established a clear policy and organizational framework to manage and promote the release and usage of open data, and to incubate new startups. He emphasized that the ultimate goal of open data is to realize the data-based creative economy.
Dr. Panachit Kittipanya-ngam from Electronic Government Agency (EGA) of Thailand noted that while open data is one of the key sources among the big data value chain in Thailand, the government has been working on government open data, data community engagement, and prototyping of data platform and applications.
In reflecting on the discussions held at this session, we learned that different approaches were used to promote open data for each country. Generally, some regions adopt open data to address social issues with the driving force from civil society and open data community, while other regions pay more attention to the economic value of open data by top-down policy and a clear roadmap.
According to the opinions and suggestions provided by the representatives, the most fundamental principle for the regional open data partnership is to recognize the needs and efforts in each country and to continue to work on the common interests bilaterally and multilaterally. Such common interests include the extension of international hackathons to include more countries, indices to evaluate the progress of open data in each country, regional open data portals, application programming interfaces, and applications that are specific to regional needs.

Earlier this week, one Baltimore columnist called Ben Roethlisberger out for creating extra drama before every Ravens-Steelers game by coming up with a new injury. The drama was only getting started.
Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Roethlisberger will play through a broken foot Sunday. He reportedly suffered a broken fifth metatarsal bone in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bills.
The Steelers have said that Big Ben just has a foot sprain. He's participated in practice the last two days and is fully expected to start.

There has been much written and said about our ailing health care system, including comments such as: "It is not sustainable and not affordable," or "If only the federal, provincial and territorial governments could get their act together, all problems will be solved."
In a series of talks I have been doing at the Economic Club of Canada, I have been addressing one important aspect of what I believe is necessary to help transform the system.
Health care delivery is clearly the jurisdictional responsibility of provincial and territorial governments. The federal government has a role to play in funding, in standards setting, in overseeing the principles of the Canada Health Act, and does, in fact, deliver some health care (to First Nations, Métis and Inuit people, veterans, etc.).
But more and more we're hearing about the need for pan-Canadian solutions. The essential question being: what can multiple governments do, across Canada, that no one province can do effectively or sufficiently well on its own? Where does it make sense to look at truly pan-Canadian collaborative solutions to what has traditionally been viewed as a provincial matter?
This theme became louder and more dominant following a meeting of all provincial and territorial premiers in Victoria, BC at the beginning of this year, in large part as they reacted to the unilateral funding arrangements imposed by the federal government at the end of 2011.
Some may consider this a bold statement. But I believe, as a result of our successful transformation of the blood system, by virtue of our unique governance structure and funding, and our multi-provincial mandate, Canadian Blood Services has some capabilities and experience that can be leveraged to help inform change elsewhere in the health care system.
With the specific exception of Quebec, (where we do not operate), everything we do is pan-Canadian in nature. We operate a single integrated cost shared system for blood, plasma, stem cells and, more recently, for organ donation and transplantation (OTDT).
We are a living, breathing example of collectively achieving a better, more sustainable outcome for Canadians that would be much harder to achieve for any one region on its own.
Consider that any Canadian anywhere in the country gets equal access to blood of a standard quality and consistency, no matter where they live. What you get in Charlottetown, you get in Moose Jaw.
Consider our plasma protein product purchases, which are a highly successful example of "common bulk purchasing of pharmaceuticals" - something that has been on the radar screen of governments for years.
We operate and manage a $500 million drug formulary program on behalf of all the provinces and territories (excluding Quebec). We have sole responsibility for tendering and procuring over 35 biological drugs used to treat diseases such as hemophilia and immune disorders. By leveraging the buying power of all provinces and territories combined, we are able to achieve two critical benefits for Canadians: best pricing and enhanced security of supply.
Consider the novel and important source of stem cells for clinical transplant therapy that comes from umbilical cord blood. For that reason, we are in the process of establishing a national public umbilical cord blood bank. This urgently needed pan-Canadian program will leave a lasting legacy by helping to close the gap in access to health care for those patients waiting for a stem cell transplant.
And consider the organ and tissue donation and transplantation strategy laid out in Call to Action, an exhaustive evaluation of the challenges and opportunities in the OTDT environment in this country. It establishes priorities for a new, integrated, cost-shared interprovincial system and presents sweeping, targeted recommendations that will deliver measurable and tangible benefits to Canadians.
Canadian Blood Services is, by virtue of its physical presence, its successful transformation and its multi-jurisdictional governance, a great example of what pan-Canadian health care delivery can be. To be clear, this is not about Canadian Blood Services seeking to deliver health care services beyond those in which we are engaged, nor is it about our model being the only one worthy of exploration. But, through sharing our model of success, we do want to participate meaningfully in this ongoing debate on pan-Canadian health care delivery.
We would be proud to share with others what this means, and how our organization's learning can be leveraged for all Canadians. We look forward to being active in this debate going forward.

Where were you when you heard the news, when you realized that the world had lost its greatest entertainer? I was in my living room, watching TV, shaking my head and wondering what life would be like without George Carlin.
That was a year ago. I just couldn't believe the brilliant comedian was gone.
I had the same feeling when I heard that Michael Jackson had died, a feeling that the world had lost a talent it would never see again, at least not for another millennium, when someone develops a time machine.
Jackson was to my generation what Neil Armstrong was to the previous one. Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, but until Jackson came along, many of us had never seen the moonwalk.
He was no astronaut, of course, but nobody could rocket up the music charts like him. During his peak, he had more No. 1 singles than anyone else, more hits than the entire lineup of the Chicago Cubs.
He became known as the "King of Pop," easily outshining all contenders for the title, even that Indian man who had set a world record for bursting balloons.
He gave us an album called "Thriller" –- and what a thrill it was, the best investment a music fan could make, aside from taking Madonna on a date.
His mega-hit "Beat it" soared to No. 1 on several charts around the world, so popular that Ayatollah Khomeini, concerned about the influence of American popular culture, instructed the youths of Iran to stop "beating it."
He had seven hits on the Billboard Top Ten in one week, a truly astonishing feat, as amazing as when Kanye West managed to read seven pages of a book in one week.
His unrivaled dancing and stellar singing combined to give concert-goers a super-charged performance like no other. Even the Amish people were impressed. They had never seen anything so electric.
That he was a brilliant performer, a true musical genius, no one can deny. He set the bar so high, it's far beyond the reach of today's generation of bar-hoppers.
But Jackson also had "issues," lots of them. The tabloids dubbed him "Wacko Jacko" and wrote headlines about anything strange he did, whether he lay in an oxygen chamber, dangled his baby over a balcony, or spread mustard over his hot dogs.
Plastic surgery turned him into a caricature of the handsome man on the cover of "Thriller." It was a crime that unfolded before our eyes, but the police never filed charges against his plastic surgeon. No one else in American history has gotten away so easily with defacing a national treasure.
Jackson loved to play with children, entertaining them on Neverland Ranch. On two occasions, he was accused of sexual abuse, charges that didn't land him in prison, but tainted his legacy and caused parents to warn their children that Jackson's home was most definitely "never land."
After an acquittal on the second charge, he took refuge in Bahrain, but was planning to return to the limelight with a concert series in London. The concerts sold out within a few hours, a testament to his enduring popularity. Despite all his problems, it was hard not to love him, like that tattered doll my daughter just won't throw out.
So how should we remember him? As the greatest performer of our era, a man whose musical career approached perfection, whose life never quite did.

Goddard College Reviews
Goddard College is an excellent institution for those who seek a work life balance, while still pursuing an education. The low residency option allows students to continue to work, parent, and remain part of their community with the exception of two weeks a year for residencies on campus. It is safe and engaging for folks from all walks of life and I couldn't recommend it more highly.
Goddard College is fantastic for student who have the drive to learn on their own. The guidance from advisers is invaluable and unique to this "distance learning". They're help is irreplaceable, especially when you are responsible for taking the reigns on your own education. Everyone at the college is encouraging and welcoming, student, staff, and faculty. This is great for students who are interested in holistic care, natural remedies, and are hands-on with their learning. While here, students build their narrative transcripts with self-designed study plans built around what the student wants to learn.

For this special show, Newcastle-based Ditte Elly will perform alongside a 10-piece orchestra and choir, and will explore the history, myth and beauty of the North East through her new work; The North Sea Project.
The culmination of 3 years of development; the work is a collection of songs specific to the North East, combining masterful song-writing with tales of the Viking invasion, the siege of Newcastle, shipwrecks at Tynemouth and sea swimming in King Edwards Bay.
The project has been made possible due to support from the Alan Hull Fund, North East Funds for the Arts, Sage Gateshead and Arts Council England. Hear Ditte Elly's debut album, 'Songs', released earlier this year.
Support comes from Newcastle singer-songwriter Jake Houlsby. Described by BBC 6 Music's Lauren Laverne as "sublime", Jake is a master at weaving haunting soundscapes using just voice and intricate guitar melodies. His sincere songwriting and adaptable playing style has seen him play with artists as diverse as Gaz Coombes, The Lone Bellow and Paper Aeroplanes.

- Wedding: May 2015
Hey Bee's, so a few days ago I made a thread about my Fiance and I deciding to cancel the big wedding. Well so far those plans have been going amazingly! Our old plan was to be married lakeside and then have a large reception at a lakeside restaurant with DJ, decor, bridesmaids, groomsmen, 100+ guests, etc. But we decided it just wasn't us. We have so much drama with our friends and family and we're such an introverted couple anyway, we just wants our day to be about us and go on an adventure at the same time. So far here is our new plan:
-Elope and get married on a glacier in Alaska (I know, sounds cold. But he proposed in -30 degree weather).
-After the ceremony, we would go on our honeymoon cruise leaving from Anchorage and be gone 7-11 days (still deciding which cruise length we want).
-Have small dinner reception with CLOSE family and friends (under 40 guests)
We had already paid non-refundable $500 deposits to the photographer and venue we initially booked, however I spoke with our event coordinator at the venue and she would be more than happy to have our money go towords payment for a dinner cruise (which they offer that at the venue we chose). They will even have the decorator still decorate the boat for us too (which they don't normally do). We decided to not lose the deposit on the photographer and just downgrade our package since we wouldn't need her for as long and that worked out well so long as we kept out June 6th reception date. We just thought it would still be nice to capture some moments with family and friends and have an album made (I am planning to wear my dress for the reception as well).
We've also been in contact with a travel agent who is helping us plan things out for our honeymoon and also working with us to plan the details of the elopement as well so all in all, things have been going swimingly! I just had to share because it was great news hearing back from our venue today, they said that they are flexible because they want our day to be happy, not stressfull 🙂
